If you're a Tennessee Vols fan -- or a college football fan in general -- you’ve probably encountered a Georgia Bulldogs fan barking at grown adults like it’s completely normal.

To be clear, it's not normal. Not normal at all.

That barking is one of the things that annoys country music singer Greylan James about Bulldogs fans.

James, a Vols fan who has written songs for artists such as Kenny Chesney, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Darius Rucker, and Chris Janson (among others), recently joined The Paul Finebaum Show and he discussed his interactions with famous Georgia fans.

"I love when fall comes and just talking crap to my buddies down here, because there's so many Georgia fans," said James.

"I'll tell you what it is -- even when I golf with them during football season, I've golfed with Luke (Bryan) and Jason (Aldean). And I just can't get over the grown men barking at me. That just hits on a level that I don't understand. And I love fandom, but that just irks me so bad. And then they're not just barking at you, but they're winning, and that just -- it gets on my nerves. But you hate them because you ain't them....But I'm glad to still talk s--t, even though we've (Tennessee) not taken them down in a minute, which I think is what's killing me about it."

"It's got to be painful for Georgia and Alabama fans and other fans of SEC rivals of Tennessee that they have to live in Tennessee because Nashville's here," added James. "They got to move to Nashville and they got to be around us. They got to be in our state. So they can root for their teams back home, but they got to live in Tennessee, which I think we get the dub for that."

James is right -- Georgia is easy to dislike because they keep winning. And they're easy to dislike because grown adults barking at other grown adults is a bizarre "tradition" that is beyond cringy. That's something that should've been ditched by Georgia fans years ago.
