Charles Barkley’s shot at Georgia wasn’t received well.
The former Auburn star and NBA on TNT analyst took a shot at the Tigers’ rival when discussing highlights from a Los Angeles Lakers game featuring former Georgia star Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Barkley quipped, “Georgia is the only school in the world that they named their mascot after the women down there.”
For the record, Georgia’s mascot is the Bulldog.
Ernie Johnson Jr., a Georgia alumnus, replied, “Oh, that’s so totally uncalled for.” He later said he was “not even gonna dignify that with a response.”
Some took it as a little ribbing between SEC rivals. Others not so much.
Barkley has always been a lightning rod when comes to his SEC allegiance.
In February, Barkley called the conference’s fan bases the worst “in history of civilization.” The former Auburn basketball star was discussing “irrational fans” when he made the connection to the SEC
In 2014, Barkley took a shot at women in San Antonio.
“Some big ol’ women down there (in San Antonio),” he said. “That’s a gold mine for Weight Watchers. Victoria is definitely not a secret. They can’t wear no Victoria’s Secret down there.”

Auburn is lucky to have such a great ambassador. Just like LSU with Shaq.

When an Aubie spews crap about Georgia women, makes me wonder if he even likes women, not that there is anything wrong with it if you don't like women. Whatever you do in privacy is none of my business and I don't want to know.
