Stetson Bennett reflects on championship run, calls out Georgia fans: 'Screw it, we got 2 rings'
Stetson Bennett was front and center on Saturday at Georgia’s national championship celebration event, and had a chance to reflect on his storied career at Georgia.
“I keep trying to tell people I just did what I thought was right every day,” he said. “If you think you should do that, I think everybody should do it.”
He then pointed to his teammates, and took a moment to re-focus.
“Man, y’all burn us, y’all burn us,” he said. “Y’all kept telling us how bad we were and y’all couldn’t understand it. And we kept winning, and we kept embarrassing people, but y’all had other storylines. And it was 49-3, and it was 65-7, and it was everything and y’all didn’t want to believe it. Because you didn’t — it makes no sense to me. Screw it, we got 2 rings man, you know.”
“Screw it, we got two rings.” ??

Wonder what music they’ll put behind the speech in the movie? I’m guessing “in the air tonight” or maybe “lose yourself.” Goons be a great film.
Nooooooooooooo! It has got to be WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!! No other song says as much!!!
PS. I hope the movie in some way honors those that we lost!!!! They need to be a part of this story!!!!

I bet Dooley is giving your boy a hand job as we speak so don’t worry!
I concur Negan
I don’t agree with the title here. Stetson Bennett wasn’t calling out the fans. He was talking about sports media. Because the fans have been behind this team for ages!!!
I predicted the 2021 national championship and the repeat way before 2021! I made it clear that if we got the repeat that we would 3peat!!!!
PS. I will stick by my prediction!!!!
Negan
How many kids did you f u c k watching the game p e d o? I know for a fact that childhumperU was the pivot this go around! Did mommy and daddy teach you how to f u c k children or did you figure that out on your own?
Nice!
Not sure who was he’s referring to as far as saying how bad they were. But like he says, screw it they got 2 rings.
Most like he’s talking to Mike Griffith.
*Most likely
Yep
you get todays prize for best name
Griffith is a carpet-bagger who should be covering Ohio State, not Georgia
I like Griffith. He gives his honest feeling. I never heard him say anything bad about this team!!!
He correctly pointed out Georgia was the best team in the country in 2017 and were robbed of a title!!!
PS. Kirby has 3 in my book!!!!!!
Negan
And I’ve got 3 in your mother you f u c k i n g p e d o p h i l e. 2 in the pink and one in the stink! LMAO
You clearly missed all of the NCAAF News this year.
Oh yeah? What was that? I didn’t see any stories about Stetson can’t get it done.
Correct Dawglb
Don’t fall for the Fake-News, clickbait headline.
Stetson was talking about the media talking heads. The media that kept saying he wasn’t good enough. Stetson put up likely the best QBR ever in playoff games and many were still saying QB’s from two loss teams should’ve been given his spot on the Heisman stage.
1st AP ranking had Alabama No.1 – Georgia No.2.
1st Playoff ranking had Tennessee No.1 they had “a better resume.” Then the narrative (reason changed) Ohio St. got the No.2 ranking “because they have a more explosive offense.” Totally disregarding the fact that Georgia had a better resume than OS.
Stetson was not calling out the Dawg fans.
SDS is the worst for the BS headlines. As for Bennet calling out the booze sodden gutter rodents of the media, he ain’t wrong.
Amen
True but he took over talking from Shock and seemed to be calling him out? Maybe he just meant from the media standpoint from which Shock is now part of I presume, and I agree not Ga fans
Sometimes saying nothing is best
yeah, but he’s human. there were a lot of doubters and a lot of vocal questioning in whether he should be qb1. from the stretch run in ’21 once daniels had been cleared to the aftermath of the sec champ of ’21 to even after the nat’l champ of ’21. they came from within the program, within the fanbase and outside. it stinks, but they were there.
he’s got a special bond with nolan smith for a reason. smith was the most respected voice on the team who openly supported him throughout ’21.
the doubters and questions concerning him certainly lessened in ’22, but they were still there. fortunately, the doubts surrounding him within the team and fanbase had significantly lessened.
i think one of the biggest questions out there is whether cks really had doubts….or had he figured out the best tool in getting the most out of bennett. i think the answer is some where in between.
Don’t believe he was calling out Dawg fans. It was directed at media IMHO and he as others were reacting with fans yesterday, unlike what the media picks out as small snapshots in time to tell the whole story. Stet has a chip on his shoulder and rightfully so. Even we, yes I will admit it, doubted him in ’21 and thought he shoulda rode off a champ after, but he proved us all wrong. I came around after his play against Mich and Bama.
Yes PtheRicker..I agree and as I said to friends, I had doubts thru 2021, but then this season I cringed every time I saw him run fearing he might get hurt, thinking please DONT GET hurt kid. Funny how many of us changed thoughts from mid-last season to start of this season.
The media worship for Georgia and Bennett by name was big, maybe the biggest in memory.
Players, fans, media, all have a strangely stupid lack of brainpower where they can’t add up the average football team’s year will lose half it’s games. THIS is the true baseline all football is built on.
Bennett is really complaining about math and human lack of math intelligence. By skipping up to the top of the winning record conversation he doesn’t have to say “yeah we won them all this year and some year it could be a lot worse. Ha ha the media is already blow torching the conversation that Georgia will probably be a champ every year…. Sorry, it’s also possible they won’t do it again for a long time. I’m sure not putting any expectations on them. As the boxing ref always says “shake hands, come out fighting, and may the best man win!”
Looks like movie will have a sad ending.
Anyone who says the fans didn’t want Stetson Bennett starting at UGA anymore are sadly about a year behind on their UGA updates. Most UGA fans were sold on him after 2021. Sure some said he should ride off into the sunset but that was mostly because if he had been beaten out in spring/summer camp, it would have been a sad ending to a great story. But once he decided to come back and was the QB1 all offseason and week 1, I don’t think there were any UGA fans who didn’t want him there or didn’t understand that UGA could win it all (convincingly) with Bennett.
People say Stetson Bennett doesn’t have an NFL arm. Well I’ll tell you another who never had an NFL arm and STILL DON’T!!!! That would be TOM BRADY!!!!!! Yet he had an NFL heart!!!!
Stetson Bennett with the right team and right coach could be another huge overachiever!!!! It might never happen but that’s their loss!!!!!!
I’ll take Stetson Bennett over anyone the falcons have currently!!!!!! But they will likely try to draft some LOSER with a big arm over a 2 time BACK TO BACK national champion!!!!!
And he’s bigger than Bryce Young but I’ll admit I would likely rather draft Bryce. But only because of the way he moves in the pocket and his arm and eyes down field!!!!!
PS. That said I’m taking Stetson Bennett if I’m looking for a QB late!!!! He’s worth a mid to late pick!!!!!!!
Negan
I think the better comparison is Drew Brees.
We need to hold this kid!!!!!!!
