“That stuff is personal this week,” Kirkpatrick said. “I already know it, they’re not going to say it. For me. I played with Mo, I played with Julio (in college). Calvin played at ‘Bama. I know the buzz going around there because that’s where we’re from. I already know I’ve got to have my (stuff) together. It’s going to be real. I already know it.”
