Great answer but that question was so weird it makes me think it was set up. When have you ever heard of a player leaving a program and the reason given was "They didn't like the physicality of the practices"?

I think it was asked because he had mentioned something about physicality in his postgame press conference after Texas.

I saw that quote too, but its just a weird question to come up with if you want to ask about physicality. I think asking "Coach you credited the win to the physicality of the program, how do you ride the line between creating physicality through practice but not wearing down over 12 games?" would be a normal question.

If it was real it was a very clever on the spot response by Smart because I think I'd be trying to figure out what the guy was even asking.

Does Smart schedule the team for next year? Do they keep an open date handy for this bit of petty revenge?

It's such a bullshit thing to say.

The next open date they have is 2027 and it will be filled by a G5/FCS team because the other 3 scheduled non-con games are P4s.

They have open spots in '28 and '29, at which point no one transferring now will be at whichever schools are scheduled.

But, it gives UGA fans and media something to jerk off over, so he says it.


edit: Kirby's bullshit chaps my ass a mite, so...

Further, they play GaTech every year. So, their 8 game conference schedule + GaTech leaves 3 non-cons. 1 is a G5/FCS, so 2.

2. Two opportunities for this to ever happen in a given year, scheduled at least 2 to 3 years out.

UGA had 25 players transfer out in 2025, most to other SEC schools or peer P4's and a few to G5s. But 3 went to Purdue, 1 to Cuse, and one to Nebraska.

Is he just miffed about Nitro Tuggle going to Purdue? Unfortunately for Kirb, Purdue's next open date is 2030, when UGA *doesn't* have an opening, soooo...

Whatever.

He'd never dare speak about the check he gets. He should schedule Alabama a few more times.

You know which coaches are the most irritated about NIL. They never shut up about it.

Checks out.

He faces 10 additional traffic-related misdemeanors, including reckless driving and driving at maximum limits.

If I'm the AD at UGA, I'm going to buy a ton of nice vehicles and hire drivers for my athletes.During the season, your drivers license sits in my desk...

If they're disregarding traffic laws now, do you really think taking their license away is going to stop them? lol

Imagine Love or even like Fernando Mendoza being asked that question and ask yourself if they would answer it like Pavia. Love has been asked similar questions and has credited his team. I understand elite athletes all feel like they’re the best players in the world but I would vomit in my mouth if Love said “stats and tape don’t lie.” It’s not even true anyways, stats especially in CFB lie all the time.

Pavia is a cunt. He made Clark Lea a lot of money, I'll give him that, but I can't recall an athlete that went from likeable to unlikeable for me as fast as this guy did.

The fact he's trying to sue for an extra year of eligibility says a lot about not only him but the state of college football. Go to the NFL, go to the CFL or get a job. The idea of 24, 25, 26 year old college football players outside of BYU is starting to get tremendously old.

He's an arrogant, cocky pissant, but he is a good college player. I don't think any other player/Heisman candidate means more to his team than Pavia.

Wonder if this affects Kenny? Wasn't that a rumor that he might head home after this season?

I don't think he realized what he got himself into until this exact moment. The look in his face at the end says it all.

Georgia seeks $390K from DE Damon Wilson for transfer damages

Georgia's athletic department is headed to court to try to obtain $390,000 in damages from a former standout defensive end who transferred from the school after his sophomore season in a potentially precedent-setting case.

It’s ridiculous to require the player to pay back $390k when he only received $30k. Good luck trying to recoup money never paid, Georgia.
