It’s college football season, and nothing is more divisive than a heated rivalry. This weekend, one of the biggest matchups was between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide, and things got heated before the game even started.
Country music stars Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean appeared on the SEC Nation broadcast hours before kickoff to hype up the crowd and give their picks on the weekend’s games. Luke, wearing a black Dawgs hat, gave a hilarious, impassioned speech that left his fans divided.
Luke told the camera, “In my household, I have a chocolate lab that’s the love of my life, and I have an English Cocker that’s the love of my life. They sleep at the foot of my bed every night. And I don’t kiss them on the mouth. There’s only one dog I kiss on the mouth, and it’s this one. Go Dawgs!” He followed up his monologue by planting a big smooch on Georgia’s mascot, Uga.

The video has gotten more than 63,000 likes on Instagram, but Luke was met with hoards of detractors in the comments section. Plenty of Bama faithful chimed in with comments like, “I love Luke and Jason, BUT, ROLL TIDE ROLL 🐘🏈😁” Luke got some heat from fans of his alma mater, Georgia Southern, with messages like “Motion on the table is for Georgia Southern to disown you for this. Do I have a second?” and another said, “You went to Georgia Southern show some school pride to your school for once 😂” Of course, Georgia fans had their say too. One wrote, “Now that’s a real fan! 😂 FRAMER!” Another said, “What’s surprising about smooching a dog. That is a green flag!”
We know it was all in good fun. At the end of the day, Luke’s team lost, but, hey, there’s always next weekend.
