Best in college football: 10 years of Kirby Smart at Georgia

ATHENS, Ga. -- During a fundraising event this summer, a stranger approached Georgia football coach Kirby Smart to share a story about her daughter, who had recently graduated from the university.

While the woman's daughter was a student, she lived near the Bulldogs' football facility. Whenever the pressures of college stacked up -- an important test, a long day of classes and studying -- she found relief in an unlikely place: stepping outside to hear Smart screaming at his players through a bullhorn during practice.

"It made her feel so much better that she wasn't in football practice," the woman said.
