No head coach is ever happy after losing a football game. Especially when that football game has as much on the line as Georgia football's game against Tennessee this weekend did.

After trailing Tennessee 10-0 early, Georgia took complete control of the game and went on a 31-7 run to close the game, winning 31-17. So after Tennessee looked like they might be able to finally beat Georgia, it turns out that they really weren't all that close. And that is probably what upset Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel the most.

But not only was this a tough loss in one of Tennessee's biggest games of their season, it was actually their eighth straight loss to Georgia. And looking at Heupel's tenure specifically, he is now 0-4 against Georgia and has lost those four games by an average of 20 points. The closest margin in those four games was this 14-point loss on Saturday, so Heupel really hasn't been close to beating UGA during his tenure at all.

So while all these things are enough to make any head coach mad, one moment during Heupel's postgame press conference seemed to make him even more annoyed.

Georgia fight song plays during Josh Heupel's press conference... twice

While Heupel was speaking with the media after the game on Saturdaya, a phone went off and began playing the Georgia fight song. This however didn't happen once, it happened twice.

Now it is very unlikely this was done on purpose, but even if it was it is quite funny. It's just another gentle reminder that no matter what Heupel does, he will not be able to get Georgia off his mind because he can't beat them to save his life.

Hopefully this trend continues, becuase it is really fun beating Tennessee every single season. Recently it has been even more fun because the Vols are always a team ranked very high, so Georgia's annual blowout win against Tennessee helps them out that much more.
