For the third year in a row, the Georgia Bulldogs will be playing in the SEC title game under head coach Kirby Smart after Saturday's win against the Auburn Tigers.

As you can imagine, Smart was pretty pumped up about the win. So much so that he used an expletive during his postgame press conference.

Smart apologized on Monday for his comment to the reporter, claiming his NSFW language was "not indicative of who I want to be and what I stand for."

According to Smart, he knew he screwed up when he came home and his wife, Mary Beth Lycett, was upset over what he said, despite Georgia's critical victory.

Smart admitted in his apology that his emotions had gotten the best of him, and it's really not hard to see why considering the importance of the Bulldogs' win over Auburn. Regardless of the result, Smart knew he messed up, and made the right move by issuing the apology.

The Dawgs' head coach showcased a bit of what makes SEC rivalries so intense, as he wasn't able to contain himself in the aftermath of the win.
