LAMM AT LARGE: Few games like Florida-Georgia

Georgia is favored over Florida by 14 points in Saturday’s game at TIAA Bank Stadium. Sounds about right to me. The favorite wins the annual game the vast majority of times.

Still, Georgia-Florida remains a top 4 college football rivalry along with Alabama-Auburn, Ohio-Michigan and Oklahoma-Texas.
That’s because when there are those special moments, we not only remember them. we fantasize about them and turn them into lore.
For most Georgia-Florida fans I do not need to say more than . . . Appleby to Washington . . . Run, Lindsay, run , , , Spurrier runs up the score in Athens . . . entire Bulldogs’ sideline storms the field . . . Jack Youngblood . . .Herschel Walker . . . and on and on.
