The craziest thing is that is the first time Kirby has defeated Alabama in the regular season. He has beat Alabama in the SEC championship and CFB championship but not the regular season.

Well he only had 3 chances in his 11 seasons before this. But yes, still a big deal.

The Zebra game would be an awesome name for it.

Then can we refer to a few of the Alabama wins as Zebra games as well? Tyler Simmons 👀

Ohh a punt at the start of the third quarter up 13-0 vs a referee throwing a flag when a WR is tackled before the ball arrives and then just picked it up. Yeah my bad those are basically the same thing lol.

The blocked punt we recovered inside the 10 in a national championship game vs a meaningless regular season game? No big deal.

There was no flag, ESPN just assumed there would be. It looked like a garbage call from the TV perspective, I have no clue what the people saw on the field.

They saw blatant pass interference.

If you feel like you're a better Ref, I am sure there will be a few vacancies this year - it's good paying, and they sure could use you. I have no idea what they saw on the field, maybe they saw nothing, maybe the ref had three stacks on UGA - the world will never know.

u/burns_a_lot Alabama • Bowling Green 6d ago

Everyone will know and it will be the biggest news story on every sports talks show tomorrow. But yeah, the world will never know...

u/somesnarkycomments Georgia Bulldogs • Clemson Tigers 6d ago

Unless the ref was wearing camera glasses, no, the world will not be watching his view tomorrow - which was my point. The world will never know what the ref saw. We all know what we saw on TV, but the ref wasn't at home.

“There was no flag”

lol this is their new narrative that somehow justifies it for them. I swear they all share one brain cell.

u/somesnarkycomments Georgia Bulldogs • Clemson Tigers 6d ago

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. It's not really a crazy conspiracy, they just never actually pulled any flags on that play. ESPN indicated that they did, but then verbally confirmed that there was no call. I wasn't on the field for that play, so I can't say what that ref saw - but they didn't call interference.

u/r1mbaud Alabama • North Texas 6d ago

It’s just not really relevant lol, the issue is the blatant penalty that wasn’t called. Not whether there was a physical flag on the field.

u/somesnarkycomments Georgia Bulldogs • Clemson Tigers 6d ago

I said that it looked like garbage from the TV perspective, but I wasn't on the field so I have no clue what the ref saw. There is sometimes only one ref in view, and sometimes they just don't see it. I am just saying it's not an anti-Alabama conspiracy, it's just a thing that happens to every team sometimes.

They’ve only played 3 times in the regular season

u/fathertitojones Ole Miss Rebels • Sugar Bowl 6d ago

I mean 1/4 is still plenty notable.

u/Present_Hippo505 Georgia Bulldogs 6d ago

Kirby was also like 74-4 against anyone not named Alabama. To them he was like 2-5

u/goldglittergardens Georgia Bulldogs 6d ago

Absolutely wild stat considering his tenure. I’ll never sleep on a game at Bryant Denny

u/captaincanada84 Georgia Bulldogs 6d ago

First time Georgia has won a regular season game in Tuscaloosa since 2007. Absolutely insane stat.

u/DataSetMatch Georgia Bulldogs • Peach Bowl 6d ago

Not that insane considering this was only the third game there since 2007.
