They say “it just means more” in the SEC, and a few Georgia fans are sending that message to current Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.
Saturday morning’s edition of College GameDay was live from Athens, as No. 4 Georgia hosts No. 7 Auburn in the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.” And because Fields formerly suited up for the Bulldogs before transferring to Ohio State, a few UGA fans needed to rub it in that they’re playing this weekend while the Buckeyes are not.
In a sign on College GameDay, a few Georgia fans trolled Fields, with the poster reading “How does it feel watching GameDay on yo couch Justin Fields(?)”

It probably hurts knowing Ohio State isn’t playing yet, but Fields and the Buckeyes will be back on the field in a few short weeks. The B1G reversed the decision to postpone the season and its 2020 campaign will begin on Oct. 24.
That will ease the pain of not playing, but there’s no question that Fields would rather be preparing for a game this weekend. The SEC, along with the ACC and Big 12, never wavered on playing this fall.
Ohio State will open the 2020 season hosting Nebraska in the first week of the B1G season.
