Former Georgia defensive lineman David Pollack made his last game as an ESPN analyst one to remember.
At halftime of the national championship between the Bulldogs and TCU on Jan. 9, 2023—at which point Georgia led the overmatched Horned Frogs 38-7—Pollack declared that his old team had “taken over college football.”
Then-Alabama coach Nick Saban’s muted reaction generated widespread commentary. However, Saban had the last laugh, beating the Bulldogs on Dec. 2 for his final career win in the SEC championship.

On Wednesday, when news broke Saban would join College GameDay—a show Pollack left after ’23, ensnared in mass layoffs at ESPN—Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban Setas couldn’t resist taking a brutal parting shot.
“HOWS IT FEEL DAVEY,” she wrote, quote-tweeting a post that drew a connection between Pollack’s comment and Saban’s new gig.

If you want to win a trivia competition somewhere: Saban went 2–1 against Pollack’s Georgia teams when the legendary coach was at LSU, including a 34–13 win in the 2003 SEC championship.
