Georgia football podcast: National writer calls UGA-Florida ‘best game’ in college football

Beginning of the show: Georgia-Florida’s reputation as an intense rivalry is seemingly growing based on recent comments from prominent voices around the sport. SEC Network personality Paul Finebaum recently made the case that the series known as “The Cocktail Party” has become the country’s most intense rivalry, and The Sporting News’ Bill Bender made a similar claim when he appeared on SEC Country Live on Wednesday.

I’ll discuss more on that topic on today’s show.

10-minute mark: I explain how Friday’s show will be slightly different than normal, and provide more details on DawgNation Invasion to Charlotte, NC for the season opener vs. Clemson.

15-minute mark: Former UGA wide receiver Terrence Edwards joins the show. Some of the topics covered include...

  • How recruits are drawn to prestigious games such as UGA-Florida
  • The start of the name, image and likeness era in college sports
