Revenge.
One words that carries with it a weight of meaning. Depending on the context and situation, revenge can be the greatest motivator or someone’s biggest pitfall. For both the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs it will be a factor on Saturday.
Interestingly enough, when asking Gator players to describe the game in three words, revenge never came up. Instead they focused more on the all-encompassing history of the rivalry.
“Competiveness, tradition and winning,” said defensive back Nick Washington who grew up in Jacksonville attending The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
“Crazy. Competitive. Hard style,” is how defensive back Quincy Wilson described it.
