Whereas the University of Georgia posted an impressive, undefeated record of 15-
        0 and won the 2022 National Collegiate Athletic Association College 
        Football Playoff National Championship, routing the Texas Christian 
        University Horned Frogs by a score of 65-7 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, 
        California, on January 9, 2023;
Whereas this victory marks the University of Georgia Bulldogs second College 
        Football National Championship in two years, and fourth in program 
        history, making the Bulldogs the first team in the playoff era to repeat 
        national titles;
Whereas this historic victory follows a Southeastern Conference Championship and 
        a Peach Bowl playoff victory;
Whereas the 2022-2023 Bulldogs offense averaged an impressive 494.9 yards and 39 
        points per game, with the defense allowing only 304.6 yards and 14.8 
        points per game all through 14 games, and the Bulldogs allowed only 188 
        yards and 7 points, while posting 589 yards of offense and 65 points in 
        the championship game;
Whereas University of Georgia Head Football Coach, Kirby Smart, posts his second 
        National Championship victory in his seventh year as the Bulldogs Head 
        Coach and his third appearance in the championship game; and
Whereas with this remarkable season, Coach Smart extends his impressive record 
        to 72 wins and 15 losses in his 7 years as Head Football Coach of the 
        Bulldogs football team and cements his legacy in Dawg Nation forever: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the University of Georgia Bulldogs
