"If you want to know why Georgia is the best program in college football at the moment..."
I feel ya. Even the way things are going these days, after 50+ years of Dawg fandoming, I still hesitate to go all in.
Kirby is The Hardest Working Man in College Football. His players follow his lead.
Great article.
Thanks for researching it and writing it.
Go, Dawgs!
Really good article and insight into how the program is built and run. Ringo was quoted in another article about “listen to the message and not the tone” and that is such a mature view of things. That attitude and ethic will serve him well in sports and throughout the rest of his life. Program helping shape men that will continue to be positive contributors to the game and society. Go DAWGS
Good article. I feel tougher after reading.
Good article, I'd like to see a follow up where former players are thriving based on what they experienced here.
What an article! I'm ready to run through the wall and go all Terry Tate at work! HBTD Woof!
@connor. One of your best pieces. Enjoyable to read and with the exception of a couple of sentences where you reverted to what is a normal Connor style, seemed like you have upped your journalism game!!
@Oldddawg76 I hear you. We “used” to have a saying.
”I want 3 Falcons and 3 bulldogs as my pallbearers — they have plenty if experience letting me down”
Looking forward to many continued years of success with the Dawgs. And now I need 6 Falcons.
Yeah pushed around Tennessee for 4 quarters. Go Dawgz sic'em. Woof! Woof!😎
A touching heart felt moment! Kirby kissing and hugging a player like he was his own son!
A lot of work and tough love. I see why some players leave (Their loss) and why those who stay thrive at UGA and afterwards. GO DAWGS!
I wonder if we lost players like Brenton Cox, Jermaine Burton, etc. because they weren’t tough enough. I know they try to act like they left for more playing time, but comments like those from the Gator coach saying Cox was dismissed for “cumulative reasons” gives me pause and helps me realize Cox may have had other issues at UGA than just wanting more playing time. Some of our “lost” players are likely in the long run “gains” for the team. If you can’t take the heat then get out of the kitchen. Go Dawgs!!!
Watched ESPN's recap of the UGA -Vols game Monday night. IT was one of those Mic'ed up deals or just had the boom on CKS before game, a little during and then after the game. Pregame speech(a snippet) and then what what he told the guys afetrwards in the locker room If you get the chance it's worth your time. Showed Kirby greeting and thanking former Dawgs like Nakobe, Quay Walker( I think) ane showed him complimenting George Pickens on his great catch.
After he gave his speechthere was a congratulatry exchange between Kirby and his son. Wow! The kid is a chip off the old block! He was like a passionate minature Kirby, maybe even more so!
