Tim Tebow got the crowd in Jacksonville fired up for the annual Cocktail Party clash between Georgia and Florida. During a segment on SEC Network Saturday morning, Tebow explained what sets the game apart from others.
“When you drive over the bridge to get to the facility, you get to the top and see a million people that have descended on downtown Jacksonville and then you see a stadium that is split 50/50,” Tebow said. “How many games is there a Hall of Fame for? Just for this game there is a Hall of Fame.”
Tebow emphasized how special this singular game can be because of how many legendary names have been a part of it and how many people come back to watch this one every year.
“Both schools are recruiting the same kids in northeast Florida, Carson Beck is going to have 50 family and friends that are going to be here, my parents’ first date was a Georgia-Florida game,” Tebow said. “To break Herschel Walker’s record in this game in my hometown and give the game ball to my dad, those are the things that you talk about one day. It’s about the meaning.”
The Bulldogs and Gators are set to kick-off at 3:30 ET on CBS.
