Did everyone hear the audio of Kirby’s pregame speech from Mon night?

It was on Twitter and was posted on tRant. I don’t have Twitter so I’m hoping someone can post it. It was full of f bombs and fire and brimstone.

Reminded me of Saban’s old ‘make their arse quit’ speeches. But it made me wonder if the kinder gentler Saban has toned those down. I’m not saying he has but I don’t see our guys coming out like firebreathing dragons ready to lay waste to an opponent like I remember. I could totally be wrong. Just thinking….

ETA: I’m aware a speech lasts for a couple of series until you’re hit in the mouth and then it’s about execution and adjustments.

I bet UGA didn’t have anxiety in the tunnel before the game..

I know that I'm glad Pollack said what he said right in front of Saban.

Kirby and Uga become a better version of his process


When Kirby wins 5 more nattys, 8 more sec championships, and produces 4 Heisman winners we can talk about his version of the process being better.

Saban's "make their arse quit" speech gives me chills to this day

While I wouldn’t call it a better version, it’s obvious that UGA is replicating the framework of Alabama. With great success at that. We have to be careful to not let our past accomplishments fog our current reality. UGA just won its second title, went undefeated, and back to back after losing a ton to the draft. They’re set up perfectly for next year as well. Meanwhile we’re seeing a lack of development, and have players talk about anxiety. Being blunt, we’ve lost our swagger. And UGA has found theirs. It’s not all doom and gloom. We just signed a historic recruiting class so it’s obvious Alabama still has “cred”, but to sit here and ignore UGA’s emergence by pointing out our past when we don’t even look like our old selves. That’s dangerous.

I'm afraid the 'younger' Saban is gone forever. His sideline reactions and post-game comments this season told me a lot

He's 71 years old. Of course he's kindler, gentler, and toned down. Happens with age.

Just because Kirby don't have the same numbers yet as Saban doesn't mean he isn't doing the process better than Saban RIGHT NOW, because clearly he is. Saban better get his shite together and take his assistant coaching hires very serious because he has a hard time making corrections if he makes bad hires.

Yes, it was very homoerotic. "frick their arse up" and such. I don't recall Saban's speeches being similarly sexual.

The speech that was posted wasn't anything special, or unique. Probably the same kind of speech most coaches give before a big game, but with a shite ton more "fricks" and "arse."

Kirby is the new Pat Dye. With more titles and is much more of a bitch.
