An alert reader discovered a portrait of a Young Coach As Religious Figure at World Famous in Athens. Thought I’d share.
“Saint Kirby”? Man, that Notre Dame win must have been bigger than I thought.
Have at it in the comments.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

At first I was trying to figure out why Wally Butts had an icon. But hey, apparently that’s Kirby.

As a frequent World Famous patron, I’m certain there’s a little irony involved.

This. The World Famous is a cool place (best cocktails in Athens, IMO), but it definitely has a big hipster vibe, so I’m pretty confident in saying there is more than a little irony involved.

And that’s why you never see Kirby Smart and Beau Bridges in the same room at the same time.

“Saint” was an epithet mocking our previous coach. How times change.

Hipsters. People who try to cover up the fact that they’re really just dorks with obnoxious personalities by pretending to be amused by everything that everybody else likes and does.
