Smart has definitely taken the crown of best coach and Georgia the best program for the foreseeable future.

As much as I hate to say it, he's done remarkable utilizing all the resources at his disposal to put UGA in a position of achieving even more amazing football feats!

It's amazing what Kirby has done and he also seems like a really good dude.

Georgia is unbeatable. Have they ever lost in Atlanta?

Those resources didn't exist until he came on as HC. When it came to facilities and spending, Mark Richt quite literally had one hand tied behind his back in the name of frugality and "The Georgia Way" and still damned near took the Bama juggernaut down in 2012.

Also, since the start of the 2017 season, Georgia’s only lost ONE home game.

ONE.

The only runs even comparable to what UGA’s done the last seven years are Alabama and Clemson. Like Richt said earlier this year, Kirby’s already in the Hall of Fame, they just have to wait to do the vote

He’s a damn good coach no doubt, but the thing that I like about Kirby the most is, he isn’t full of himself. Very well rounded and down to earth man.

The idea of the SEC West being so powerful and wonderful is largely a myth. It was an era that lasted all of 6 years – 2008 to 2013 – and after that Les Miles started farting around and Manziel went to the draft and Auburn fell off. Since that time it's basically been Alabama, Alabama's two schizo inconsistent little brothers LSU and Auburn, and then frigging Ole Miss, Miss. State, Arkansas and Texas A&M. Please tell me all of these great and wonderful SEC West programs that Alabama has gone to war with in the last 10 years.


Georgia fans are insistent on this absolute horseshite, huh?

If you exclude cross divisional games played by both Alabama and Georgia from 2014 till now the SEC West has dominated the SEC East most years.

The SEC East has only one winning record against the West (2018) during that time: Here are the SEC West's records (excluding Alabama and Georgia games) against the East during that time:

2014 - 8-2
2015 - 10-1
2016 - 6-4
2017 - 8-2
2018 - 2-8
2019 - 5-5
2020 - 13-6
2021 - 8-2
2022 - 5-5
2023 - 6-4

No way to sugarcoat it. The SEC East has been a weak sauce division since 2010
