WATCH: Dan Mullen gives hilarious explanation of environment at Florida-Georgia games
Published:
Dan Mullen is no stranger to the Florida-Georgia rivalry.
As the Gators offensive coordinator from 2005-08, Mullen became quite familiar with the raucous gatherings in Jacksonville every October for The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Now that he’s running the show at Florida, he’s doubly sure of what he can expect to see from fans of both the Gators and Bulldogs on Saturday.
In the tweet below — from Ben Murphy, with the video credited to Matthew Head — you can see Mullen has a sense of humor about the environment leading up to the game.

You can read between the lines to figure out which finger is associated with which fanbase. This rivalry game is one of the most heated in the country, and the major conference and national stakes will make this season’s rendition of it even more intense.
No. 9 Florida (6-1, 4-1 SEC) faces No. 7 Georgia (6-1, 4-1) at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
