It's the 'World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party' weekend.

OrlandoSentinel.com: Gators GAINESVILLE -- Bryan Savelio thought he had seen it all, growing up in Las Vegas. That was, until his first experience with the Florida-Georgia rivalry last October.

This was more exciting than The Strip.

Savelio's eyes bulged as Florida's team bus rumbled over one of Jacksonville's many bridges and toward Alltel Stadium. What the defensive tackle saw was a spectacular sea of colors: orange, blue, red and black.

Soon, he could begin to make out the faces of some fans. How passionate, he thought, for these people to be lined along the road.

He noticed a pack of Georgia supporters.

"There were old people, young people and little kids," Savelio recalled. "They were standing by the side of the road. I thought, 'What fun!'

"And then all they gave us the finger."
