The lousy stinking gators have a date with destiny.

Tomorrow, the world's largest outdoor cocktail party. Georgia, Florida, it's the rivalry game that we believe matters more than any other. If you've heard me say it once, for those of you've been with us for a number of years, you've heard me say it thousands of times. A good Georgia fan is a gator-hater-hater first and foremost. This rivalry means something. It's fun, of course. We love the cocktail party, but the game itself has just extra special meaning. We're going to talk about that here coming up in a little bit, the fact that as a Georgia fan, it feels really good to know that our coach right now understands that. And I think the Florida is trying to do its part to understand that too for what it's worth. But at Georgia, this is something that Kirby Smart has just sort of had figured out for a while. And we're going to talk about that here coming up in a moment. Jeff Sintel already on the scene in Jacksonville. He'll join us here coming up a little bit too to kind of give us the sights and sounds. I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning to be there in time for the game. And Jeff's already there. so he'll give us a little bit of a taste of that coming up here in just a little bit there as well. But prior to any of the kind of the atmospheric stuff around the game, let's talk about what it's going to take for Georgia to get done on Saturday. First of all, here's my belief. As I said to you yesterday, if you look at most Georgia Florida games over the course of the last decade, you've got the dud from Georgia in 2014, the no-show from Florida in 2017.

But for the most part, these games are competitive, even in games in which the final margin of victory seems decisive, there are a lot of competitive moments within that game.

So my expectation tomorrow is, even though I do believe Georgia to be the better of these two teams,

and I do believe that two touchdown margin that the experts are currently telling you the point spread rests at,

I believe that probably sounds about right.

But the fact of the matter is a game in which you win by two touchdowns does not mean you're up by two

touchdowns the entirety of the game. And if previous Georgia Florida games are our guide for what's

going to happen on Saturday, then I believe the expectation should be that most of the moments in this game,

most of the snaps in this game, will occur with the outcome perhaps not in doubt.

And if Georgia does build margin with its final, you know, scoring margin, if it does build

some margin here with its final result, then it's going to take it the full 60 minutes to

probably get there.

That's ultimately by belief.

Every snap's going to matter.

Every play is going to count.

And everyone on both

sides will be playing with the butterflies in the stomach that kind of come in a rivalry game like
