🏈 Coaches post game presser

Smart was asked about their loss to Bama several months after the "2nd and 28" title game. The question was a lot like the quote below, how is UGA handling the loss. Kirby was emphatic saying "I'm not over it yet."

I don't recall who brought that up earlier this week. It stuck out to me thinking about how long it'd been since Georgia had won but more importantly the storyline with Kirby, Bama, Saban, and the Dawgs.

His response last night to the same question had the word 'hope' missing from a few sentences.

“It didn't do any damage,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in response to a question about possible lingering effects of a loss this decisive. “What it did is reinvigorated our energy. It re-centers you, right? Their greatest thing is when they lost their game against Texas A&M, they garnered some focus and some attention. To me, that's an opportunity for a wakeup call, if anything.”

He hopes it didn't do any damage.
"What I (hope) it did is reinvigorate..."

If it's six months later and he's still "not over it" when asked about that title game how they hell are they without damage and reinvigorated within minutes?

These are examples of those intangibles or lack of that I have referred to several times this past week and especially last night. Bama moves on to set backs and truly believes they can. UGA camps out in it and because they have not had sustained success it becomes hope versus real belief mentality. Some will call it doubt!!! This is not just coach speak but it is real and it is in their head. Honestly UGA is not the only team most teams are like this.

The A&M loss (and most of this year's woes during games) were all on the guys not focusing. The feel they can blow anybody out and take that for granted at times. It was a close one that they should have won. That doesn't introduce doubt in how good you are, just forces you to face reality. Saban just had to focus that, which he did in the lead up to UGA.

UGA got whipped. That is the kind of thing that can cause them to doubt everything about themselves. They didn't just not execute, they got flat out executed. Kirby has yet to show that he can focus his team after a bad beat down.

Rat poison was yummy.

Like I said in another thread. Saban is in Kirby head!
