Come for the tweet, but stay for the comments, which burn with the righteous indignation of a thousand suns.
Fun Fact: Not only has Kirby Smart had more total NFL draft picks in his 1st 5 years at UGA than Nick Saban had during his 5 years at Alabama…
He's had more draft picks in EVERY single year but 1 during each of their 1st 5 years at their respective schools#GoDawgs #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/7qkk9CaD94

I guess I didn’t grasp how much that natty loss steams ‘Bama fans. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
“We have a long way to go to get to where we need to go,” Smart said. “That’s nothing to do with Oregon. That’s nothing to do with anybody we play. That’s to do with the Georgia Bulldogs...”-- Kirby Smart, AJ-C, 8/14/22
Get The Picture
But, but, but Kirby Bowl Cut Dumb wastes all the talent. He’s only a recruiter. Kirby proves anyone can win with a bunch of blue chips.
Am I doing this right, Handbags?
By the way, the Bammers are starting the mantra that anyone that wins a natty not named Saban in the SEC ends up fired in a couple of years.

Had a meeting yesterday that included a new co-worker who I’d never met. I had come straight into the meeting from the truck, so I had this hat:
https://onwardreserve.com/collections/national-champions/products/standing-bulldog-national-champions-hat?variant=39992876597302
…just sitting on the table in front of me. When said co-worker came in, I noticed he was wearing a class ring. Finally noticed when he turned his hand that the stone and there was a little “A” with a mullet on it. I couldn’t have planned things any better.
Everything’s coming up Milhouse.

Fun fact, though I’d be careful throwing that around to outsiders. Without question Kirby had a far better collection of players than Bama did in 2007 when Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa.

Why, according to the Gumps, we were one of the best teams in the nation when we hired Kirby.

Out of curiosity, I pulled up Alabama’s 2007 roster. Already there were:
Glen Coffee: eventual 3rd round pick
Andre Smith: eventual 1st round pick
Brandon Deadrick: eventual 7th round pick
Wallace Gilberry: undrafted free agent, played 9 NFL seasons
Simeon Castille: undrafted free agent, played in 9 games over two seasons
Rashad Johnson: eventual 3rd round pick
Javier Arenas: eventual 2nd round pick
Marquis Johnson: eventual 7th round pick
Greg McElroy: eventual 7th round pick
For comparison’s sake, Georgia in 2016:
Nick Chubb: eventual 2nd round pick
Sony Michel: eventual 1st round pick
Isaiah McKenzie: eventual 5th round pick
Lorenzo Carter: eventual 3rd round pick
Roquan Smith: eventual 1st round pick
John Atkins: undrafted free agent, played in 14 games over two seasons
DeAndre Baker: eventual 1st round pick
Isaiah Wynn: eventual 1st round pick
So yes, Georgia was in better shape at the top end, but the cupboard wasn’t exactly bare in Tuscaloosa.

And Kirby took his team to the title game in year two. All be it for a questionable offsides penalty and Kirby wins the first of two titles there.
Sabans second year at Bama ended with a reach around to Utah.
