Whatcha got, Loran? A new book about the Georgia Bulldogs’ 2021 national championship season. The title of How ‘Bout Them Dawgs!—written by head coach Kirby Smart and Loran Smith, the team’s longtime sideline reporter—sadly lacks Smart’s infamous F-bomb, but it does cover his rise from Slapout, AL to the top of the college football world. The biographical element is mixed with a blow-by-blow of that magical season’s 15 games, profiles of key players and staff, and Smart’s philosophy on coaching, defense and recruiting. The late Vince Dooley and UGA President Jere Morehead also offer their insights. Smith will discuss and sign the book at an ACC Library event cosponsored by Avid Bookshop, with copies pre-signed by Smart available for purchase.
