Georgia Mascot Uga Perfectly Sums Up First Half of National Title Game

Was the CFP national title game too much for the bulldog? It appeared so when Uga was caught taking a snooze.

The College Football Playoff national title game between Alabama and Georgia had everything college football fans could want: pageantry, a clash between two SEC rivals ... and a sleepy bulldog.

That's right, Georgia's most famous bulldog, Uga, was on hand for the festivities Monday night at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, like he is for every Georgia football game.

But was it all too much for Uga? It appeared to be by the second quarter, as ESPN's broadcast showed the doggo catching a snooze in some comfy confines. The smush was real, and the Interwebs couldn't help but buy in. 

Here are a few of our favorite reactions:

Who's the better lookin' dog?

There was a bit of a pregame stare-down after ESPN analyst Lee Corso picked Georgia to win it all.

notice how Real Uga refuses to look into the eyes of Fake Uga. His floppy jowls may be smiling but his far-off stare indicates he cannot bear to confront the artifice which is meant to resemble him; there is no truer terror than coming face to face with how the world perceives us https://t.co/LbZ8vWC9LQ

No pillow for Uga, just stuffed in a bare cage next to a bag of ice. Sad. ROLL TIDE! pic.twitter.com/7a4PbAITVI
