World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party staying in Jacksonville

Try to feign shock as much as possible... the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party staying in Jacksonville.

The school[s] agreed to a six-year deal Wednesday to keep the game in Jacksonville through 2016. The current contract was set to expire after the 2010 season.

"We have agreed to continue to play the Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville for an additional six years after the current contract expires following the 2010 game," UF athletic director Jeremy Foley said in a statement. "We are excited about keeping the game in Jacksonville."

Despite an effort by Georgia boosters to move the game to Atlanta or rotate the game as a home-and-home or neutral-and-neutral, it turns out that the rather insightful ancient Taoist saying (that I absolutely fabricated) back in April was spot on: "Money talks. Bullshit walks."

Plain & simple, Jacksonville is the best deal that either team could get. Period. End of story.
