Can we talk about Kirby's weak answer about rivalry?

Someone asked Kirby if he agrees with Freeze on the "hatred" in DSOR.

time marked- Youtube

quote:

"I tend to agree with Coach Freeze, it's not about hate for me. I don't hate their players, because I recruited most of them. I don't hate their coaches because I like a lot of their coaches and have known all of those guys for a long time. I have a lot of respect for Hugh. I look at it as a fierce rivalry and that's really why you get into this business, to coach in games like this.

The fans may not like to hear that because they like to hate each other. But their fans are similar to ours in the sense they are often from the same areas. Our players are similar to their players. So I have respect for them, not hate."

Are we mad for him telling the truth? I guess we’ll get upset at anything these days.

I dont care what Kirby says, we have to go to 2005 to find out 4th most recent win against them. Start fricking winning or get them off the schedule.


Tell Em Herm Edwards: We play to win the game.

Most of us don't hate players for rival schools. Some of them are friends of the players on our team. Coaches are a mixed bag. I think Kirby is as dirty as a crackhead's butthole but I don't hate him.

I only hate Alabama. I know technically other teams are considered rivals, but I just view them as competitors.

Honestly I have known several athletes that have played at different places and they laugh at the fans that get upset at them talking and hugging after games. They tell me that it is like a big frat and that only them can appreciate all the work that goes into practicing and playing.
