Tim Tebow, Champ Bailey troll fans ahead of Cocktail Party rivalry in Jacksonville
Published:
Georgia and Florida get together later this afternoon for what has been through the years one of the most storied rivalries in college football.
In fact, the rivalry is so revered that it has its own nickname: The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
Another tradition that comes with the annual football matchup is that the 2 programs typically play a fall baseball game the night before.
And former greats from both schools took the opportunity to have a bit of fun with each other and the fans ahead of the baseball game.
Former Gator Tim Tebow and Former Bulldog Champ Bailey were in the ticket booth selling tickets, and from there the trash talk commenced, as can be seen below:

Among the highlights were Tebow revealing that he was 3-1 in his career against the Bulldogs and apologizing for the lone loss, while Bailey reminded everyone that Georgia is the defending national champion and picked the Dawgs to win Saturday’s meeting, 38-3.
The matchup between Florida and Georgia is set for 3:30 (ET) this afternoon and will be televised by CBS.
