It’s been an exciting last 24 hours in the Atlanta sports world. The Braves clinched the National League East for the second straight season and Georgia, about 70 miles northeast of Atlanta, is set to host Notre Dame in one of the biggest regular season college games of the year.
So it’s only fitting that ESPN reporter Maria Taylor, a Georgia alum, announced on College Gameday that Atlanta native Jeezy would be the guest picker on the ESPN pregame show this Saturday.
Jeezy, who began his career as Lil J in 2001, is considered a pioneer in trap music. He’s released 10 studio albums as well as several singles. Jeezy also acted in the 2009 movie called Janky Promoters.
Athens is hosting College Gameday for the fourth time and the first time since 2013, but the show has been located where Georgia was playing that day an incredible 21 times. The Bulldogs hold a 6-14 record in those previous 20 games.
Georgia is a 14.5-point favorite against Notre Dame according to VegasInsider in a game that is expected to have major College Football Playoff implications.
