Channel 4 in Jacksonville is reporting that the mayor's office in Jacksonville has submitted a proposal to try to keep the "World's Largest Cocktail Party" in Jacksonville until at least 2010. The current contract is set to expire in 2006 and Bulldogs have been grumbling for some time now (mostly during the Spurrier whippings) that it is not really a neutral site and perhaps should revert to a home and away format (forgetting of course that the Spurr-dogg dropped 50+ on them between the hedges I guess). Hopefully for the sake of a really good 72 year tradition, the Zook era has deflated those complaints a bit and the game will continue on.
As you can see here, things can get a little wild in Jax for Florida-Georgia.
