I remember my first Georgia-Florida game. I saved up all summer to go to Jacksonville with my buddies. It was the 1966 game. Here is the Wikipedia story of the game.
The seventh-ranked 1966 Florida Gators entered the game with a 7–0 record and the opportunity to clinch a share of their first-ever SEC title. The Gators' senior quarterback, Steve Spurrier, had just locked up the Heisman trophy the previous week with a stellar performance versus the Auburn Tigers. The Florida–Georgia game turned out very differently, however, as the Bulldogs defense dominated the game, and Spurrier threw three interceptions in the 27–10 Georgia victory. All-American defensive tackle Bill Stanfill would later reference Spurrier in recounting his experiences growing up on a farm in southwest Georgia before the advent of weightlifting: "Holding pigs for my dad to castrate was quite a challenge. I can't say that helped prepare me for football, but it sure did remind me an awful lot of sacking Steve Spurrier."
HATE ALL YEAR!

I went to UGA in the Spurrier years, trust me, I hate them. Deeply hate the jort wearing, Camaro driving, bastards.

As a Georgia fan who grew up in the '90s, the current state of the Georgia/Florida rivalry still feels surreal.
Kirby is the new Spurrier.
