Kirby Smart didn’t miss a beat when a reporter joked that Georgia not playing Tennessee this season was “one less win” on the Bulldogs’ schedule.
The reporter asked if the schedule change felt like an easier path without the Volunteers.
Smart smiled before delivering a one-line response.
“Yeah, you said that, not me.”
The room erupted with laughter as the Georgia coach avoided taking a direct shot at Tennessee while still letting the moment breathe.
Smart’s answer was classic coach-speak—acknowledging the joke without fueling bulletin-board material. Even so, the exchange quickly became one of the more memorable moments from SEC Media Days, proving once again that sometimes the shortest answers generate the biggest reactions.
