Kirby Smart imitating Coach Poach??

Post by Seadog73 »

From Saturday Down South:
Then came the loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, and a reset of sorts for a program and a group of players that seemed destined to win it all.

All it took was a second chance.

“We told them we’re burning the boats,” Smart said of his pregame speech, a reference to Hernán Cortés arriving in the New World in 1519 and destroying his ships.

Cortes’ message to his men then was clear: There’s no turning back.

There was a Vandy ReVealed with Coach Poach where he said basically the same thing during the halftime of a game (I think UT) "turn around. The Boats are burning."

:roll: Well, if Cortez said it first, then it seems to me they're both plagiarizing.

The new transfer rules assure that the boats will never burn.
