The Georgia-Florida rivalry is as contested as it has ever been. The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is help in Jacksonville every year and neither team or their fan base ever backs down.
This Valentine’s Day, a poem tweet from SBNation helped renew the rivalry on Twitter between Bulldog and Gator fans. Here’s the Tweet that sparked the clash between Georgia and Florida fans:
Roses are red
Violets are blue

Seems harmless enough right? That’s not the case in arguably UGA’s most fierce rivalry:
Roses are red
Violets are Blue
Georgia Southern once beat Florida
and never even threw https://t.co/LUepdyDPgH pic.twitter.com/miA7UoIxBQ— Dayne Young (@dayneyoung) February 14, 2020
Roses are red.
So are hearts and diamonds in cards.
Remember when Dan Mullen's team
Rushed for a mere 21 yards?💯🐶🏈 #GoDawgs #ValentinesDay2020 pic.twitter.com/qTmDEHAgey

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Georgia has
More five stars than you.That’s okay, they’ll be gone in a blurr
They’ll do their one year, then they’ll all transfer
On to better lives, to start their careers
And UGA won’t see a ring for another 40 years. https://t.co/BQJX9nS341— Cody 🐊 (@__Gators) February 14, 2020
Red are the roses
Yellow is the sun
Georgia's got all those five stars
But Kirby can't win the big one https://t.co/YoejzfJgEy— Gator Jen (@jenafish17) February 14, 2020
Roses are red
Puppies are snuggly
Mullen is dorky
And orange is ugly https://t.co/56RYPXEcJq— gym dawg🐾 (@dawgwholifts) February 14, 2020
Auburn got caught in the crossfire as well:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I like trucks,
Auburn sucks— Ian Boatman (@IanBoatmanUGA) February 14, 2020
It’s a long way away, but the Georgia versus Florida rivalry will be renewed on October 31st in Jacksonville. Should be an interesting Halloween!
Both teams have the week off before facing each other in the rivalry game. The winner of the match-up has gone on to win the SEC East in each of the past five seasons. While UGA has dominated the series winning the past three games and six of nine overall. Despite the surge under Kirby Smart, the Gators and Dawgs have split the past sixteen games.
