    But mostly spurrier….. I feel today the same as I did when spurrier retired….we will never have the chance to even the score against Coach Saban! Like we couldn’t against spurrier….

    Yep, anyone but Burton! 🤣😎

    And, yes, I know that he probably has no eligibility left 😎

    Kirby may have a 1-5 record against Saban, but UGA has finished the last 3 seasons ranked higher than the Tide which is impressive. It will be interesting to see who assumes his position at Bama. Next season we face 3 of the potential candidates (Kiffin, Swinney and Sarkisian) according to an ESPN writer. If one of these is selected we will face teams in coaching transitions in 2 of our toughest games……and they are road games to boot. This will be very interesting to watch. Go Dawgs!!!

    Lol NO !!! Don’t want Burton to even drive by Athens !! One of their top WRs recruits has already de committed !! Kirby needs to swoop in and get him !!

    I don’t want to go anymore loony than I already am !! 🤪😂 But this news has long, long, range repercussions. 1) Kirby could swoop in and get current players through the TP 2) Their top 5 star WR Recruit for 24 has already de-commited

    3) I would think even if a great coach replaces him it’ll take Whoever that is some Time to get transitioned and dialed in, meaning that Should play to the Dawgs favor at least one would think in their game vs Bama on Sept. 4) IF their new HC comes from an SEC school on our 24 Schedule one would think That game to should be easier

    5) IF their new HC turns out to be a bust it could play favorable in terms of long range recruiting time wise. To close I’d have rather Kirby and our Dawgs beat Saban enough to usurp the Kingdom from him. But with him retired now it’s entirely possible, Very possible, that Kirby and the Dawgs will rise to be the New King of CFB. Only time will tell.

    But and IF that happens a Sad casualty will have been David Pollack losing his job just because he Said that a bit to early. ESPN claims it was due to budget cuts but I don’t buy that for a second, as they turned right around and gave Pat McAfee a $10 mil contract AND his own show. No it was because David embarrassed and insulted Saban sitting right beside him as UGA destroyed TCU in 2022 Natty.

    Maybe allot of Saban’s influence will leave with him. Hope so. Only time will tell if Kirby can gain that strong of influence. But Kirby doesn’t seem to want to play in the politics part of CFB so he might never get that type of influence. Course as long as he’s winning at the highest levels I doubt many Dawgs fans care about how good he is at politics.

    Today could mark a Huge momentum shift To UGA in becoming THE Top Program on an On Going basis. With the Wins on the field and in Recruiting that Kirby & Staff have had UGA already has a Huge step in that direction !!

    Yep. I agree. Hate to say it but really ole Urban Cryer got away without our Dawgs getting solid revenge on him to. I’d have Much rather beat Saban head on enough times for Kirby to beat his Win-Loss record vs UGA. But that’s gone now. Alas there’s only one thing to do. Take it all out on his replacement !! 😂 Here’s hoping our Dawgs destroy Bama from here on out !!! Go Dawgs !!!
