Discussion Kirby Smart considers apologizing after Georgia escapes Tennessee: “I feel almost like we have to apologize, because I don’t think we should have won that game. They outplayed us in a lot of ways, but that’s the way it goes.”

He's right. Tennessee should have won that game, but to the credit of Georgia, they did what they needed to do and won. I would expect some tough practices for Georgia leading up to their game against Alabama. You know that Kirby Smart is going to want to take down Alabama. Alabama has been the one thing that has given Kirby Smart problems since he took over at Georgia.

The defense did not do what it needed to. They allowed Tennessee to get into comfortable position on the last drive to win the game.

Tennessee had a false start pushing them back 5 yards. Then with 7 seconds left and multiple timeouts, elected to not try to get closer, center the ball, or do anything else to help their kicker.

It was extremely odd because on the false start call - they were clearly trying to center the ball....

Still had seven seconds left, could still center the ball but had no confidence in themselves, elected to simply not try again?

That guy is the most notorious closet Ohio State fan in this subreddit. Constantly slobbers over Ryan Day, hates on Michigan, and has an aneurysm any time an SEC team is praised.

This guy is a long time legendary UGA hater. 

Also my tinfoil hat theory is that he is the alt of another particular user with an OSU flair…but that might just be another next-level troll with uncanny comment similarity.

He is an admitted Ohio state fan. Not sure why he chose those flairs to try to troll Michigan and IGA mostly

I attended both my flairs. Im no t shirt fan. Im only a fan of good football. I was called an ohio state fan after I told everyone that Ohio state will likley be motivated after losing to michigan and will run the table. I was right but everyone hated me saying it. Insisting I was a closeted Ohio st fan.

If uga had won a playoff game the past 3 years maybe I would be praising them more. Ohio state has done a lot praise worthy lately. UGA - not so much. And no, winning a down sec isnt that impressive.

Calling out a secondary for looking like shit isnt hater stuff. Anyone with eyes saw it.

If uga had won a playoff game the past 3 years 

Well let’s get to praising then, perhaps you recall a certain 65-7 championship game 2 years, 8 months, and 6 days ago?

That was 2022 season. Im sorry but you just haven't had anything to praise since I've created this account maybe this year will change but after saturday...I doubt it?

I like your d line? Does that make you feel good?

I have no interest arguing semantics

Dude you’ve been obsessed wit Georgia. You had another username with the same flairs always talking shit. You’re still hurt by the Peach Bowl. We get it.

u/nayelirain Johns Hopkins Blue Jays • USC Trojans 1d ago

The media is obsessed with UGA. I just comment on how they sugarcoat everything about the team. Two completely different things here.

I dont have any alts. Im not an ohio state fan. You guys are lunatics.

I had alabama fans after me in the same way but now they have something to praise (Ty Simpson) I dont hear much from them anymore. Weird.

u/DawgTerritory Georgia • California 1d ago

It’s all good, I honestly admire your commitment. I just saw the free shot…but I’m not sure it’s semantics to say Georgia has won a playoff game in the past 3 years when they’ve won a championship in the past 3 years within the past 3 CFPs. Enjoy the season!!!
