Kirby Smart talks about Georgia football player celebrating with Ole Miss fans

Georgia football head coach Kirby Smart commented on a video showing a Georgia player celebrating with Ole Miss fans after the loss.

The Georgia Bulldogs will face the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend. They suffered a tough loss to Ole Miss on the road. Georgia was never able to find consistency on offense last Saturday, and the Rebels offense made plays across the board that put them in the win column.

After the surprising win, Ole Miss fans stormed the field to celebrate the big win and chaos ensued. Both goalposts were torn down by the fans and the pitch was full of spectators. After the game, a video surfaced showing Georgia football player Jake Pope jumping up and down and appearing to celebrate on the field as Ole Miss fans watched the game.

Kirby Smart was asked about this at Monday's press conference and here's what he had to say:
“What an idiot. Just stupid. He's embarrassed. He knew the family, it was the family of a high school teammate. But just stupid. But to be honest, I don’t have time to think about it.”

Pope chose Alabama out of high school and decided to transfer to Georgia after it was announced that head coach Nick Saban was retiring. The former Buford High School football player served as a reserve safety for the Bulldogs this season.

Georgia will face the Tennessee Volunteers this weekend in the final conference game of the season. It will be the first home game for Georgia since Mississippi State, just before the Dawgs traveled to Austin, Texas to play the Longhorns. They will finish the season with three straight home games.
