In anticipation of Saturday’s marquee matchup against Notre Dame, a grocery store in Georgia is taking every precaution necessary to ensure the Irish have no presence in the state.
Dill’s Food City announced it won’t be selling Irish Spring soap at its Lavonia and Royston stores this week:

Tough luck, Dill’s customers! Pick a different soap, this is #Dawgs country https://t.co/cDJbxjD9ld
The store clearly understands the importance of this week’s game if it won’t even sell a hygiene product people use on a regular basis.
Saturday’s showdown between Notre Dame and Georgia at Sanford Stadium is the second game this season between two teams ranked in the Top 10.
The last time these two programs met was in 2017 when Georgia edged Notre Dame 20 – 19 in South Bend.
It’s unclear if the Irish’s loss had anything to do with South Bend permitting sales of English Bulldogs in the week leading up to the game, but it can’t be proved that didn’t play a role in the outcome.
