Kirby and Excuse Making

Probably not gonna be a popular take but being “tired” is a lame arse excuse. This is the first time that I can remember he dwelled on something Ike this all week. I knew something was up.

I think Kirby knows more about motivating young men and winning Championships than anyone....

Are you saying that we aren't beat up going into the game?

It would be easier to list the games our starters have played more than one half of football in this year than to name the ones they haven’t.

Other boards have several threads on this topic.

I'll hang up and listen

I believe Kirby was being honest. I've read that Georgia broke protocol and practiced some without pads this week, which would attest to what he said.

The fact that you led with your assertion that Kirby is making excuses suggests you aren't here to listen to opinions anyway. How many of those other boards did you start some variation of this topic?

You don't have to watch the press conferences to answer my questions to your question that you asked to my question

Are you saying you disagree with the OP?

Or that you condone excuses?

You're weird.

And evasive.

The lame arse semantic game isn't so fun when the rabbits got the gun, huh?

Carry on, boy

This is a big moment for the trolls. Let them enjoy it.

They all make way too much money to play the fatigue card.

I didn't listen to Kirby's comments but I doubt he was making an excuse or playing the fatigue card, just making an observation that the team was worn down and it played a role in their performance.

Making money doesn't stop people from getting worn down and tired. Georgia was coming off four conference games. Auburn was coming off a bye week. Auburn also had a bye preceding UGA last year while UGA was coming off Alabama and Kentucky. That was a tough game for Georgia too. Kirby should discuss the bye scheduling issue with Mr. Sankey.

I don't believe bye week scheduling is irrelevant, which is why I've previously noted that UGA is getting way more than our fair share of SEC opponents with a preceding bye week. We've had 9 of those over the 3 year interval of '24, '25, and '26 regular seasons. Auburn's had one, Vanderbilt's had two, Tennessee, South Car, Ole Miss, Miss St, Kentucky, Ark had three. The SEC average (# of SEC opponents with a preceding bye, 2024 through 2026) was 4.5, so we doubled it.

Kirby made it clear we beat ourselves and we did. Auburn played a good game but in the end we beat ourselves with too many mistakes.

So it's time to suck it up and get on with the rest of the season.

With Notre Dame, Texas, Alabama and Indiana also losing we are still in the hunt for the National Championship.
