Coaches often have to speak about their opponents in the week leading up to a game, and this week, Georgia’s Kirby Smart gets the honor of talking about the struggling Tennessee Volunteers.

So, what Smart said instead was that the Vols are “on the brink of something special.”

That, naturally, brought out a bunch of reactions on Twitter, some with a GIF and some questioning what exactly “special” meant. Here are some of those reactions:
