Keiwan Ratliff knows the “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” rivalry series well. In fact, the former Gators cornerback was even inducted into the Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame on Friday.
So it’s no surprise that Florida turned to Ratliff, who is now the team’s assistant director of player personnel, to narrate the hype video for Saturday’s matchup against Georgia. The Gators are looking to knock off the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs, and this should help fans get even more excited for the big game:

The Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame was created in 1995 to honor the Gators and Bulldogs players, coaches and administrators who have played large roles in the rivalry series between the schools. In addition to Ratliff, the 2021 class also features former Florida standout Ciatrick Fason and former Georgia players Thomas Davis and Jon Stinchcomb.
Georgia currently leads the all-time series 52-44-2, but Florida won last year’s meeting, 44-28. If the Gators hope to start a winning streak, they’ll have to hand the Bulldogs their first loss of the year following a 7-0 start.
It may be a tall task, but Florida should have no trouble being motivated for one of its biggest games of the season that’s an annual tradition.
Florida and Georgia are set to kick off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
