Kirby Smart TO?

17 Kirby that smug little sob
He called a time out and his tail should own that mistake.
That's pitiful, and if he denies he was calling a timeout, then he admits that he is a liar

The all-22 shows the truth. Kirby calls timeout and in running down sees AUs safety clapping. Which he can’t do. It should have been a delay of game on AU as the claps happened before Kirby called TO.
Kirby confirmed this in the post game. But the announcers, McElroy in particular were so convinced Kirby was just lying that it drove the narrative.
Now there’s an argument that the TO should have stood bc the clapping wasn’t noticed by officials. But the call ended up being correct-ish.
Additionally, there’s even audio on twitter during the video of Kirby saying “they’re 17n clapping. They can’t 17n clap”.
Not “I was clapping”.
Joking here… but it’s crazy how the broadcast can make a narrative just like news media.
He clearly called a time-out. It is evident that the SEC office despises Freezus & Cohen. Again - if somebody has to get grudge 17'ed, it might as well be those two.
So media hype making a big controversy over nothing. Strange, that's never happened before. I do agree the time out should have stood though. If the officials didn't call the penalty when it happened, it can't be reviewed or changed later and the time out should have stood.
Not sure how I feel about the deal, but UGA did finish the game with an unused TO. So, the non-enforced TO wound up being inconsequential.
I think it’s great. Freeze and all of Auburn feels like they got screwed last night, Smart looks like a giant douche. That’s about the best outcome you could hope for
Only downsides are Kirby Smart had to win and I had family members who are big Aubie fans who were at the game so I do feel sad for them. But that said, 17 Freeze, 17 Cohen, and 17 Auburn.
Smart is a ridiculous d...bag. He acts like an emotional fan instead of a professional coach. He showed that last year shoving MVB. And again last night.
If I were the ref, I would have given Kirby a choice of a timeout or a delay of game penalty. Certainly not just reset the clock.
But I didnt realize he was complaining about the Auburn players. So, maybe I would put a couple seconds on the play clock.

I would have given him a choice of a time out or a time out & and unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
Bc that's simulating a snap count. Should have been a penalty on Auburn. That's why.
Specifically, if the offense uses a clap snap count (as UGA and most everyone does) it’s simulating a snap count and a delay of game on the defense. No warnings. Any clap. Delay of game: defense. That’s why Kirby lost his mind.
I believe our defense received one of these penalties this year, as well.
Kirby clearly was calling a TO. He may also have been talking about the clapping, but there is no denying he made the TO signal
Everyone knows he was obviously calling a timeout.
Unfortunately, he got away with it.
I don't like him either. But he wins, most of the time.

We need jomboy to look at this because I thought it looked like he was saying clapping. He definitely signaled time out though.
Since when can coaches call TO to argue a penalty and then get a free TO essentially? Did a safety 20 yards away from the play clap? Yes. Is that against the rules? Yes. Was he trying to simulate snap? No. Is that still illegal? Yes. All that said, Kirby 100% called TO and got bailed out in an absolutely BS way no other program in the SEC would have. It was either a penalty on Auburn or a Kirby TO. And Kirby saying he didn’t call TO makes him a hog head lying bastard.
