I don't have a strong opinion either way. I am just not that much of a fanatic, but...

If we as fans praise Kirby Smart for always teaching our guys - always coaching them up, and being the master motivator; if we brag about how he handles his team when they are playing as an elite unit and we love his halftime speeches to get everybody up; If we praise him for being constructive and coaching his team up when they are not elite and we think that we, as fans, are part of that team, then why should we get our feelings hurt when he calls us out.

I realize it can be seen as insensitive. It can be seen as hypercritical. It can appear tone deaf. But, that is what Kirby Smart does with his team and that is why we are so successful. If, as a player, you cannot handle the tough love and constructive feedback, then you won't make it on a Kirby Smart coached team. Its in his DNA to call it out when he wants improvement.

So, in my opinion, we are either part of this team or we aren't. If you are in the group that thinks he should focus on coaching the players and leave the fans out of it - then you view yourself as a mere spectator. If you are part of the group that thinks you are part of the team and that your actions can impact the outcome of the game, then take his words to heart and do better.

I do not think it is up for debate that fans can and do impact the outcome of games. I think if you were to poll ANY college football coach, they would want a loud and involved crowd at every game, home and away. It sells the program to recruits. It negatively impacts the opposing team. It is intimidating. So why is it so wrong to ask the fanbase to do better?

Can Kirby coach better? Sure. Can he demand more from Coach Bobo? Sure. Can he focus on teaching better tackling? Of course. But why can't he ALSO call out his fanbase to do better? Is he only allowed to ask his fans to be elite when he has everything else taken care of? I don't know - but it seems like a lot to demand of a coach just to get his fanbase as loud as can be.

And before anyone calls me out - I AM PART OF THE PROBLEM. I am not elite. I don't spend thousands in donations. I haven't been to a game since the Rose Bowl. I even missed the 2nd half of the Alabama game because I had to work. But, I am sure there are enough of you 4 and 5 star fans to fill up the stadium and be coached up by Kirby.

Once again, just my opinion. Flame away.

it seems like >90% of the time, the opponent is getting better field position and only 1 broken tackle away from housing it

What is your guess as to Justus Terry and Elijah Griffin? What percentage would you say they will sign with UGA?

Calls out both tackles for being bad in pass pro. Whats going on with our OLine this year?

$450/ticket. DM Me.

Hey DAWGS, I need a parking pass for Miss State in South Deck, Hardman Hall, or Connor Hall. Have some older family coming to my tailgate on Field Street

As an avid CFB fan, I have not seen a dominant team take the field this year. Ohio State and Texas have not played tough schedules. The week 7 upsets reset the SEC. The Dawgs are well positioned. If we improve as the season progresses, there is no reason we cannot win a Natty. A few observations.

• OL play has not been great but we had two starters out this week. When Tate Ratledge and Jared Wilson are back we will improve. Once that happens, may see Morris at RT or more Freeling there. Need better play to help Beck to get back to 2023 form.
• Need more Etienne and Frazier in the game on offense. We cannot abandon the run like we did against Bama. Need play action to be effective.
• Screen game to Etienne and Frazier needs more attention.
• Luckie is TE number one. Need to transition Delp to more blocking.
• Young started off the season hurting. Slowly improving. I think he will be a big help down the stretch.
• Humphreys needs more run.
• Getting Hall back, Mykel healthy, and Brinson healthy will change the D.
• Need to move Starks to Star and play Bolden and Dan at Safety.
• Need to see LB development with Mondon out. Cole needs more time at LB and Williams needs some time especially in Miss State game.

2900 for two nights at Hampton inn 1.6 miles from Texas stadium. My brother and his family decided to not make the trip. Text me at 214-801-8877 if you have any interest. Thank you.

I will look for the highlight. Friggin' TD out of nothing.

Top 3 TE in NFL right now, folks.

A recent FOIA request by Matt Taibbi discovered that the "Global Engagement Center", which is an arm of the USA state department that has a 98.7 million budget from USA taxpayers ,...are funding grants to Arizona State, Texas ATM, and Arkansas U to study implementation methodologies of silencing "disinformation" from said USA taxpayers

The very same "Global Engagement Center" funds the "Global Disinformation Index" center in London UK that petitions advertisers to stop funding of media in the USA, Europe , and worldwide who have opinions that are contrary to the "globalist theories". as regarded by the USA state dept

And also,...when you go against the USA state media in Africa such as Africa Vision media did regarding drone strikes in Somalia,... Blinken comes out in a speech against Africa Vision, and then Africa Vision is removed on YouTube, Google, Facebook, X/Twitter,.....reporting civilian deaths in Somalia from a US airstrike leads to the De-platform of an African media source worldwide,...

This is why media speaks with one voice domestically and internationally based on perceived USA policy,... because people have mortgages, bills, children, etc,...and you have to sell your soul and move with the waves or get washed up among a rocky shore

@Greg Smith has the latest on the new No. 1 prospect in the 2026 class:

Prefer tickets in the Dawg allotment

Hate to be throwing up the bat signal while so many are still f’d from Helene….

But @Blocker57 can I ask what sort of impacts you foresee for the Atlantic coast from SSI through Charleston? And what about SE inland GA still restoring power from Helene? Thanks as always….lets hope this is it

Three couples traveling together. Interested in 2 4 or 6 together.

cobbcountydawg@gmail.com

Seen several tickets for $500 a piece in GA sections. I got 2 in section 32 row 30 for $500 plus fees etc. so about $650 a piece. Still a lot but better than the last two weeks.

The Herbstreit gag at the end was awesome.

I can understand where Kirby is coming from but it’s most definitely a two way street. Most of us still have a bad taste in our mouths from going to Tuscaloosa last week. Are some of our fans spoiled? Sure, every fanbase has them that has experienced a lot of recent success. But i didnt see a lot of empty seats yesterday and considering we were playing a dismal 2-4 Auburn team that ranks 10th in the SEC in total Defense and when we made plays i heard a lot of cheering. Also add in the fact we have been dealt some God-awful home schedules the past few years and constantly being asked for more money every time you turn around i think the fans have done well, we travel as good and better than most fanbases.

Add to the fact that while my 19 year old daughter and i tried to traverse through the Quad at Meyers Hall i had a young 20 something fellow wearing a San Diego Padres hat tell us we were “Trespassing” and weren’t allowed to walk through the quad, good thing the smell of weed was overwhelming as i got. A contact high and it mellowed me out, if not I would of told him i was playing touch football in this same quad as a kid waiting for my mom to get off work before he was even a gleam in his daddy’s eye……maybe thats why the crowd wasn’t as loud yesterday, everyone was lit.

When I was a kid, my dad would get us tours of naval vessels docked on the Savannah River. We toured a lot of ships, including submarines. I was always impressed by the sailor bunks that were right on top of the torpedos. I guess “sleeping over the torpedo” will now take on new meaning.
