Hopefully by now, you understand what Props is all about. But if not, here's a quick refresher course.
Props celebrates the brash, bold and otherwise outrageous occurrences in sports each week.
This time around, we have reserved this space for just one group of people.
Props to the Georgia Bulldogs football team for their work on Saturday against Florida in what used to be called "The World's Largest Cocktail Party."
Oh, sure, Georgia won, 42-30, but in the bigger picture, it's what the Bulldogs did after scoring their first touchdown of the game that cemented their singular spot on Props.
On the front end, Knowshon Moreno ran it in from the 1-yard line with 4:54 left in the first quarter. On the back end, 30 yards in penalties! In between, the entire Georgia team rushed the field to celebrate Moreno's touchdown and 7-0 lead over archrival Florida.
No amount of jorts could overcome the psychological and emotional boost the brash move gave Georgia.
Before the game, Georgia head coach Mark Richt demanded some type of celebration after his team's first touchdown.
"I told them if they didn't get a [celebration] penalty after the first touchdown I was going to run every one of them at 5:45 a.m.," Richt said in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Surely, he didn't expect that.
