Peyton Manning Refused to Wear Red and Black So Georgia Couldn’t Get a Picture of Him to Use on Social Media

That is my king.

The rain may have altered everyone's outfits a little bit, but there was no way in hell Peyton Manning was showing up in UGA colors regardless of the weather. Your school's best alumnus might give up such strict allegiances after two decades, but not mine. That’s a Vol For Life.

Any picture of Peyton in red and black would have been immediately exploited by Georgia to try to capitalize on the greatest collegiate and professional quarterback of all-time and take attention away from his alma mater, which is currently the most talked-about team in college football.

Peyton has been, is and will forever remain the greatest of all-time for stuff like this. Vol Nation salutes you, King.
