Kirby Smart Q&A: After a near miss at history last season, what's next for Georgia?
After missing the CFP, Georgia's Kirby Smart sits down to talk the state of the Dawgs, a new CFP and more.
Of note on the OL/DL:
ESPN: What's one of the things that has gotten your attention about this team through the first part of spring practice?
Smart: Either we're maybe a little weaker on the defensive line or we're really good on the offensive line. The glaring thing I've seen at practices is that the offensive line has done a really good job. That's not to say we were subpar on the defensive line last year. We just weren't great. We didn't have a dominant guy, but we're always going to be good on defense. I don't know that we're going to be great this year, but I think we have a chance to be great on offense.

Good Morning DAWG Family and Faithful.
I am opening this morning…thanks April. It’s both Good Friday and
National Vietnam War Veteran’s Day
On March 28, 2017, President Trump signed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017. This act officially recognizes March 29 as National Vietnam War Veterans Day. March 29 was chosen because on March 29, 1973, Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) was disbanded and the last U.S. combat troops departed the Republic of Vietnam. A belated recognition and thank you for all Vietnam Veterans who returned home with no fanfare or appreciation for their service and sacrifice.
So today, we honor all those who answered the call and served in Vietnam.

Some facts of the Vietnam War
- 2,710,000 served in uniform in Vietnam during the War
- 90% are proud they served
- 75% would serve again knowing the outcome
- Over 58,000 died
- Over 1500 remain MIA
- Over 250 have been awarded the Medal of Honor
This day is especially meaningful for me personally. It was also THE DAY THAT I DEPARTED VIETNAM. On 27 January 1973, Henry Kissinger signed the Paris Peace Accords that ended the war and established a cease-fire effective 29 January. Over the next 60 days, the remaining American combat forces would be withdrawn as American POWs were released. I was a 1st Lieutenant attack helicopter pilot (AH1 Cobra) in an Air Cavalry Troop, I had flown combat missions for most of 1972. Because I was an experienced pilot, I was detached from my unit on the 29th of January, given an UH-1 Huey and crew, and told to fly to Saigon. There, I would spend the next 60 days supporting the International Commission (Canada, Indonesia, Poland and Hungary) supervising the Cease Fire and POW releases. It was somewhat surreal flying into occupied North Vietnamese territory, landing and looking into the eyes of the enemy that I had been exchanging gun fire with several weeks before. Thankfully, they did not know I was also a Cobra Pilot before the cease fire.
Over the years, I have often been asked about my Vietnam service. This was my generations "Call to Arms" and I felt a strong sense to “Do My Part”. Make no mistake, the Vietnam War was a National Tragedy. But for me, it was a positive, character molding experience. A humble boy from Georgia, I had only been to Washington D.C. in the 7th Grade and vacationed at Panama City Beach many times before. I celebrated my 24th birthday, on the other side of the world, flying a Cobra Helicopter Gunship in a war zone. I experienced both life and death having watched 5 of my comrades crash and burn resulting from hostile fire. But, for the first time, I experienced something greater than myself and a bond of comradeship that continues to this day. I found my calling and embarked on a 30-year career in the Brotherhood of Arms and service to the Nation.
So, on this day, I ask you to thank all the Vietnam Vets for their service. But most of all never forget, FREEDOM isn’t FREE and America remains the Land of the FREE because it’s the home of the BRAVE.
Have a blessed GOOD FRIDAY Everyone.
