As the Sugar Bowl got underway in New Orleans, Channel 2 Sports Director Zach Klein spoke to SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey about the terror attack on the city that killed 15 people and injured dozens.
Klein said the atmosphere around the city has had a major shift from everyone with their heads down to blaring music along Bourbon Street, Georgia cheerleaders wearing their paint, wearing the red and black, cheering for their Georgia Bulldogs, all trying to support their team and move on.

Sankey told Klein that the game between Notre Dame and Georgia was a very important moment to get back to everyday life.
“How do you process now? And how do you process tomorrow? After it’s over, my morning run has taken me around the French Quarter the last two days and yesterday, without understanding the scope, just being shocked at the size of the area. I think this moment gives us a chance to come back together, honor people, but also return to life, and that’s part of our responsibility as well,” Sankey said.
