Georgia football podcast: The worst reason to move UGA-Florida from Jacksonville
Beginning of the show: Georgia’s yearly rivalry game with Florida could possibly soon move from Jacksonville, Fla. -- where it has been played for nearly a century -- to a home-and-home series. This change would please UGA coach Kirby Smart and perhaps a growing number of UGA fans.
Undoubtedly, there are some reasons to disregard the tradition of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party that might make some sense. However, I’ll focus on today’s show on an argument made recently by a prominent voice at ESPN that doesn’t make any sense at all.
In doing so, I’ll hope to highlight why the game in Jacksonville has been special and why a decision to do away with it shouldn’t be made lightly.
10-minute mark: I talk about Smart’s assessment of his defense and what we could learn about that unit against Florida this Saturday.
20-minute mark: Former UGA wide receiver Terrence Edwards joins the show.
40-minute mark: I take a look at other SEC headlines including a statistical case for Kentucky upsetting Tennessee on Saturday.
45-minute mark: CBS Sports’ Brad Nessler joins the show.
End of show: I award a Golden Shoe winner and share the Gator Hater Updater and the Gator Hater Countdown.
