Will Georgia raise a cocktail? Week 9 SEC Preview

October 26, 2017 Alex Haddon

It’s Cocktail Party week, when the Georgia and Florida fans descend on Jacksonville and get blind drunk before the 3.30 pm kick-off, and provide an atmosphere that’s OK.

The team runs through it. 2. ‘War…..Eagle’ – Auburn Not EXACTLY the entrance, but letting Spirit The Eagle out as the crowd screams “War Eagle” is one of the best traditions in sports.
