The Georgia Bulldogs have packed up the bus and are on their way to Los Angeles. Kirby Smart’s crew has left Athens for Atlanta where they’ll board their Delta flights for Los Angeles, arriving on the West Coast around 3:00 p.m. locally. Media members will be on hand to see the arrival, and DawgsHQ’s Wes Blankenship was there to see the team off from the Butts-Mehre building and football facility.

“I’d like to thank the CFP for taking the time to put this together and having a great original semifinal game there at the Peach Bowl and now headed to the National Championship,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said on Tuesday talking about the matchup between the Bulldogs and Horned Frogs. “Our kids are really excited ready to head out to Cali we’ll be doing later this week. Looking forward to the opportunity. I’ve got a lot of respect for TCU and their program and Coach Dykes, what a tremendous job he’s done there. Had the great fortune of seeing him and Max out at the Heisman Trophy ceremony and have so much respect for their program, them as people. And what a great opportunity it is to play in a large setting, in a great setting for a CFP National Championship.”

Media members are expecting to speak with Smart and a pair of players after arrival before the Bulldogs will practice in Los Angeles this afternoon local time. Then, on Saturday, there’s another opportunity to hear from the team at the championship game media day. Kirby Smart and TCU head coach Sonny Dykes will speak with reporters Sunday morning before all the attention turns to football finally on Monday.

Georgia takes on TCU in the National Championship Game Monday night at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff time is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN with Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Holly Rowe on the call. Other broadcasts are available too including the ESPN2 Field Pass with Pat McAfee, the ESPNU Command Center, ESPNews’ At&T Skycast and SEC Network’s broadcast featuring the Georgia Hometown Radio on the call.
