From Athens to Santa Clara: Bulldogs Eye Super Bowl Glory
Super Bowl LX pits the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks, and Georgia fans have extra reasons to tune in. Former Bulldogs center Jared Wilson and running back Kenny McIntosh will both be on the roster—Wilson starting for New England, McIntosh sidelined on injured reserve for Seattle. This appearance extends Georgia’s streak of at least one ex-player in the Super Bowl to 25 consecutive seasons. Wilson, a 2025 third‐round pick, anchors the Patriots’ offensive line, while McIntosh—despite his injury—provides Dawg pride from the sidelines. Kickoff is set for Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, airing on NBC with Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, and available via fuboTV’s seven‐day free trial.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to dust off that vintage UGA jersey and howl at your TV, here you go. Nothing says “college loyalty” like following your alma mater’s ex-linemen and tailbacks as they swagger onto football’s biggest stage—albeit one sitting on crutches. Kudos to the network for reminding fans they can stream with a free trial, because nothing says “loyal fandom” like canceling your cable subscription at Super Bowl time. And oh joy, another broadcast team eager to turn every offensive snap into a life‐or‐death drama, because subtlety is overrated. But hey, if a padded ex-Dawg protector or the ghost of Kirby Smart’s recruiting prowess can charm its way to a Lombardi Trophy, who are we to complain? Pass the nachos—Go Dawgs!
