Kirby Smart and Tom Crean took pictures with dozens of Georgia football and basketball fans as a line snaked through the historic venue, and then hopped on stage to talk about their programs, the Bulldogs in general, and the University of Georgia.

Here are videos of their pre-event media sessions, and audio of their speeches to the crowd. Crean spoke for about 19 energetic minutes and Smart for a little more than seven.
Before talking to the fans, he said that recruiting continues, and has become even more of a 24/7 activity. He was looking at video of prospects just before talking to the media.
