Talk of moving the Georgia-Florida game out of Jacksonville brings about considerable debate. I have gone on record with that UGA owes the city of Jacksonville nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The history is that the city gave Georgia the back of its hand for years albeit the fault lay with those whose allegiance was to the Red and Black. Every Georgia fan should remember that UGA had to force Jacksonville to make it equitable. The city and the University of Florida gave in grudgingly.
