Glen Powell got booed at a Georgia Bulldogs game. It happened during halftime on Saturday. Fans were told to make him feel unwelcome.
But don’t worry, it was all part of the plan.
Powell, a big star in Hollywood now, is working with Hulu on a comedy series. It’s inspired by Eli Manning’s funny prank at Penn State back in 2022. Manning pretended to be a walk-on named Chad Powers and surprised everyone with his skills—except the head coach, who was in on it.
In this new show, Powell plays Russ Holliday, a college quarterback who had a rough start. He dresses up as Chad Powers to join another team in the South. Here’s a sneak peek:
Earlier photos showed Powell dressed as an Oregon Ducks player with a flashy mullet. This might be his character’s backstory before he becomes Chad Powers.
Fast forward to Saturday’s scene.
Powell wore a blue and yellow uniform for his fictional team. The colors were a bit mixed up—navy and Pittsburgh Panthers blue. The school’s initials are ‘SG.’
92,000 fans stayed seated to help film a scene. They booed loudly as ‘SG’ ran onto the field, practicing for when Tennessee visits next.
Powell filmed several shots on the field that day.
If I had to guess, this story involves Holliday’s Rose Bowl game in Oregon. Maybe he’s seeking revenge at Georgia while disguised as Chad Powers.
