For Georgia fans, watching their beloved Bulldogs lose at Ole Miss last Saturday night was bad enough. But then a video surfaced on their social media timelines to inflame their anger.

Jake Pope’s postgame celebration with an Ole Miss player after Georgia’s 28-10 loss on Saturday sparked significant backlash among Georgia fans. The video, showing Pope amid Ole Miss’s celebrations, quickly went viral, leading to a stern response from Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, who called the actions “stupid” and “embarrassing.” Pope, who had a childhood connection with the Ole Miss player, admitted to celebrating out of excitement at seeing old friends, but Smart made it clear that it was a lapse in judgment. Smart added that he was more focused on Georgia’s upcoming game against Tennessee, which holds significant implications for the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff hopes. Pope later posted an apology, explaining his actions as a moment of surprise and excitement, but acknowledging it was a mistake.
