TV Ask and Will Comply "No use of Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party"

2PLAYSMAX · Oct 25, 2006

The booze will flow freely this weekend in Jacksonville, but two major television networks won't be a part of college football's most famous cocktail party, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.Officials from CBS and ESPN say they won't refer to the annual Georgia-Florida showdown's by its "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" nickname, per the request of the two universities' presidents, who want to do douse the game's reputation as a drunkfest for tailgaters.
At the urging of Georgia President Michael Adams and Florida President Bernie Machen, Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive sent letters to the CBS, ESPN and the league's other television partners, asking they no longer refer to the game by its longtime nickname.
Both CBS, which will broadcast the game Saturday, and ESPN have told their on-air personnel to honor the request.

BULLSHIT....stick this up the ass of all these conservative fuckos

Its long standing tradition. I hate when people try to change shit like this.

I will make sure the name continues to accurately reflect what takes place this weekend here in Jax. Regardless if you like UF or GA, or even hate them both, if you are a fan of college football, you should try and come to Jax for FL-GA weekend once in your life. There is no comparison. It truly is an outdoor cocktail party. The Landing on Friday night will be bumping as usual. Friday can't get here quick enough!

Anybody else going to the game this weekend?

You would think Slive and the SEC would have as much concerns over the League's pitiful Officiating reputation nationally(even Corso is calling him and the SEC out), especially in light of the homer calls on the Plains for Auburn vs LSU and UF, the one at Ole Miss that spared UGa,etc..

But, they are more focused on the sensationalism caused by a couple of bar hoodlums not associated with either school, that killed a fan in Jacksonville after a recent game..

SEC priorities..Reputation for Cocktails = NO..Corruption/Bias/Ineptness in Officiating = OK

Never thought I'd miss Roy Kramer, but I do, not that he didn't also look the other way or condone the SEC's infamous homecooking and high school grade Officiating that resides in the nation's top Conference..he at least had stronger presence.

it truly is the worlds largest outdoor cocktail party

and if you go to the Landing the night before, during the game and after

you will see why at least 3 people die every year from drinking too much (not kidding)

someone always ends up found dead in the river

i broke my thumb 3 years ago at this event from falling over too hard and trying to break my fall

the Landing is like an outdoor mall on the bay/river....they turn every "restaurant" at the food court into a giant beer sale...

the outdoor part on the water is all cocktails....so packed you can barely move at peak hours

just ridiculous and easily takes 3-4 years off of your life everytime you attend

which is why i am skipping this year

Typical political correct BS...I'll do my part by continuing to refer to it as the drunken debauchery that it is...

arty:

These two presidents are a joke. If they don't like the name, do something about it - like ban tailgaiting.

That's exactly what it is, but a lot of schools are doing everything they can to lose the party school image.

Reason is here.

The word "COCK" really offends people.

That would step on too many toes. They stil want to party, they just want to tone down the image a bit.

Well said !

actually I got it backwards-they WANT to tone down the image (now edited..lol)

Rawpimple · Oct 25, 2006

When you get a bunch of red necks together for some tailgating, its lethal. Thats why the University of Florida rarely had night games through the mid 90s.

Now mix in some real true red necks from Georgia and it could get ugly. These guys are ridiculous. They will bark in your face all game long.

2 lethal combinations: SEC and NIGHT FOOTBALL--tailgating and drinking all day long.....games can get out of hand.
