The pride, passion and pageantry of college football lives here.

This is the Paul Pinebaum Show, Our Ford Podcast.

This might be college football.

Here we have to Connor and rest.

Get to find out a little bit about the dogs. Connor, good to see. Let's talk a little bit about the dogs.

Connor, good to see.

Let's talk a little bit about this because everybody knows the nerve that it's different than it was a year ago.

But how different is being around the Georgia team and coaches always?

Yeah, Kirby talked about this this morning.

It was pretty candid about it where he feels there's a more useful energy

with this team, which I think is maybe something that worked against them earlier in the season. But they've gotten older throughout the year. They've gotten callous. They've gotten better throughout the year. They played their best game against Alabama. And a lot of guys that were on this team last year, remember what happened in the Sugar Bowl where obviously there was a lot of stuff going on around it. They didn't't play their best game that day. And I think they know that they need to be more buttoned up this time around. They've said as much and they feel the prep for this game a complete opposite from what they did a season ago. Mike, somebody told me earlier that Kirby has done things differently, although we don't know exactly what he's done. What's your best guess? You know, I think he talked a lot about being in shape. I sense there's a lot more, I don't know,

conditioning going on. Remember, Ole Miss is an up-tempo team. I mean, they're averaging

498 yards of offense, and they like to do the no huddle, so I think that's part of it, but

also just attacking the practices, you know, like I think Connor used a good word. They're callous growing up. These guys are hungry. You know, you go back and look. There's only 10 guys on this team that were a part of the last national championship team and only two starters, one position starters. So you got a lot of hungry young guys that really haven't done it themselves. And this year, as opposed to last year,

this team's ascending. Like Connor said, I think they played their best game of the season

against Alabama in the SEC title game. And I think that's the mystery. We'll start to find it

out in a couple of hours is how you drag it out over 20-some-odd days. And I don't I don't think

there really is an answer until we see it.

But conditioning might be part of it. What else can you do?

Yeah, I think Kirby is particularly motivated to put to rest a lot of this buy talk because he, again,
