Everyone knows the annual showdown between the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators is the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
The name has been under assault for more than a decade now, but most fans on both sides give a big roll of the eyes when referencing efforts to shun WLOCP.
But now, the powers that be have gone a step farther. The game is now, apparently, the River City Showdown.
