ATHENS, Ga. — Stetson Bennett grimaced when told the news.
The Atlanta Braves were knocked out of the Major League Baseball playoffs Saturday.
After No. 1 Georgia romped to a 55-0 victory over Vanderbilt in Southeastern Conference football, the Bulldogs’ veteran quarterback pointed to his favorite baseball team — the 2021 World Series champions — as an example of how fleeting a title can be.
“Are we going to cash our chips in after so-and-so games, or are we going to keep going, keep going, and know this isn’t over until its over?” asked Bennett, whose team is seeking its second straight national championship.
Unlike the Braves, ousted by the Philadelphia Phillies in a National League Division Series, the Bulldogs are still on track.
