  "account": "Drew Bobo's mother refused to allow him to attend the Georgia-Florida rivalry game in Jacksonville when he was a child. She feared the atmosphere due to the frequent fighting between Florida and Georgia fans. Instead, his grandparents would stay with him, and his mother would travel to the game. Since 2023, Bobo has attended three of these annual events, which are known as the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party games. He has played in two of them and considers his favorite memory not related to playing the game. That fond memory stems from 2012, when Jarvis Jones intercepted a punt in the end zone, leading the Georgia Bulldogs to an upset victory over the No. 2 Florida Gators. Bobo recalled jumping up and down in the living room, thrilled by the play. In the upcoming game on Saturday, October 31, Georgia is a 11.5-point favorite over Florida at Mercedes Benz Stadium. This is one of the few times since 1933 that the game will not take place in Jacksonville. It has been held at EverBank Stadium since 1996 and will return to the venue in 2028. From 1933 to 1993, excluding a wartime break in 1943, the game was played at the Gator Bowl Stadium, which was demolished in 1994 to construct the current site of EverBank.",
