Kirby on CGC

[stech81]

First I don't care what Kirby thinks. And he is the uga coach so I dislike him .

Yes, but I think Tech gets more bang for the buck. Ugag is spending a lot of $$$ to come up short every year.

I believe they spend double what we do on football - something like $40m per year compared to our $20m per year. Just on football alone!

I was thinking of Doug Marrone when he went from Tech to Ugag, saying, "Why settle for pepsi when you can have coke"? I wonder if that was the subtle message of the coke on the podium.

Nah all of the sec coaches have coke on the podium. Except florida which has a Gatorade.

Which is a PepsiCo product.

The dirty little secret in College Athletics is that despite most teams being sponsored by Coca-Cola, the Powerade coolers that adorn the sidelines are often filled with Gatorade powdered drink.

I am wondering about the accuracy of our reported $$ VERSES say Virginia tech or Syracuse. I know we are way way behind factories.
After seeing immediate impact of gtaa hiring a brand manager and new social media savvy coach , I wonder if we need some new accountants. Working as to how to classify usage fees, joint use allocations,etc could reward gtaa w lower fees and more net $$ dollars.

Coach has , imo, performed minor miracles with less for his whole time.

Interestingly......VT spending actually dropped from the time period 2007-2015
$274,032 - $233,535
Meanwhile GT caught up with them
$165,379 - $212,253
(numbers are per player without scholly costs)

Yep. And I recall him giving us plenty of respect during hate week.

They could have run this year's score up more, and he called off the (for a better word) dwags.

Meh. He had nothing to gain by running up the score on us, so he doesn't get extra credit from me for that. No way you risk injury as a potential playoff team once you've got someone soundly beat.

They are getting extremely close though. Much more likely to get the next natty than we are.

I'm trying to think which is worse, a tight game where you hope to win in the end only to find (or the refs to find) a way to lose or a total and complete beat down. The last one was the latter.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Last I checked we were coke, but i think the entire SEC is Coke sponsored too.

We are definitely not Pepsi

I never want to give them credit for anything. It was just a statement of fact.

Geoff Collins is renting out a place in Kirby Smart's head and i hope he stays there

Nah, f that. He ain't rentin'. He's squattin' in that dome. And, come November, his team's gonna be squattin' all over them puppydoggs.

And @Whiskey_Clear any compliment coming from Kirbs is a-'cause he ain't a-smart enough to think of a witty insult.

[LongforDodd]

Yeah, remember they're coke and we're pepsi.

And yet if the Coke headquarters building fell over it would crush the Tech Tower. Weird!

That's a fascinating database. @Animal02, thanks for sharing it.

I can be a data junkie if I allow myself to be, and I wasted an hour on that already, with more to come later most probably.

Also in 2017. They put in Eason for the 4th quarter and all he did was handoff to subs. We still couldn't stop them. Clemson was the same but Dabo is friends with PJ. It could have been a lot worse.

 

[GTRock]

Yes, but I think Tech gets more bang for the buck. Ugag is spending a lot of $$$ to come up short every year.

That's why he's there. And he's already stopped them coming up short in the SEC. Let's hope he's not ultimately successful (nat'l champ). That would be unbearable.

 

[GTRock]

NO WAY we would be a Pepsi school in Atlanta.

I think Kirby is a very likable guy. Only thing that bothers me about him is he looks like a 45 yo frat boy

He is a 45 year old frat boy.

 

[swampsting]

I don’t think Kirby is worried about us right now
But if you look at their 2019 recruiting class, a lot came from out of state. Dwags has only 4 of the top 50 in Georgia, per rivals.com
