00:02 All right, let's go to Saturday.
00:05 And we'll start with now the new number one team in the college football playoff rankings.
00:10 It's weird to say that, Joe, considering they've won 27 games in a row.
00:16 Kind of hard to believe they weren't won, like you said, when the first rankings actually
00:20 came out.
00:21 But pretty historic run here now for Kirby and the crew with this long winning streak.
00:26 Some big names that he is along with in terms of winning that many games in a row.
00:31 Here is Kirby Smart getting ready for Tennessee this week.
00:34 Kirby, that's 27 straight wins.
00:36 You passed Nick Saban.
00:38 You're one away from matching Paul Bear Bryant.
00:41 Gene Stone, when you hear your name, your team, your program mentioned in the same breath
00:45 with those legends, what does that mean?
00:48 Rare.
00:49 I mean, those guys are guys I grew up watching as a little kid, you know, growing up in Alabama
00:56 with my dad being a high school coach.
00:59 And a lot of the credit goes to the people that have come to this university and played,
01:05 the players who've made those sacrifices, the players who've helped win those games.
01:09 I mean, I'm in the locker room today and I was looking at Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis,
01:14 Mecole, Malik Herring, I mean, Brian Herring.
01:18 There's just all these guys that made sacrifices to do this and make it special.
01:24 And I've had incredible coaching staff.
01:27 So great coaches make head coaches look smart.
01:33 What do they got?
01:34 The stenographer out there, Joe, for Kirby?
01:35 I mean, you got to get the guy.
01:36 Was that a court reporter?
01:37 Got the court reporter out there?
01:38 Getting all the words in for Kirby?
01:39 And I got to tell you, Joe, that is a regular occurrence because you obviously know I do
01:48 these.
01:49 I mean, every week I get these coaches.
01:50 I get all that's a regular occurrence at the Georgia press conferences.
01:54 So somebody's just banging away on that keyboard every single week there while Kirby's trying
01:59 to talk.
