What I've been waiting for ....

An hour long from the GOAT. Let's go.

Watched a few times…crazy how many little things could go either way…missed field goals, stet fumbles he recovers, dropped Bama passes, odd penalties, bobbled catches, injuries..

bobbled catches

McIntosh's juggling catch on the drive that led to the 2nd & 18 TD of AD Mitchell's is severely underappreciated.

That's what aggravated me the most about rival fans shitting on Richt and Kirby (before this win)

Football is chaotic and random as shite. The game is scored with 3's and 7's, primarily, so any little thing going off track for a second can swing games in monumental ways.

Richt just never got the ball to bounce his way, figuratively speaking, but like Kirby said in a post-game sit down... You just need to keep taking swings, because the law of averages will eventually give you a few.

I agree, with further comment. Richt (as with most coaches) tended to work on plays in practice until everyone gets their part right, then on to the next play.
Kirby learned from Saban to work on plays until the team can't get it wrong. Takes years to get that "process" to work well.
Take that halfback pass in the Michigan game. They ran that play in practice 17 times before they got it right. Perseverance. That's what wins titles.
