The annual rivalry game between Florida and Georgia will remain in Jacksonville for the 2024 and the ’25 college football seasons, the programs announced on Wednesday.
The decision comes as the current agreement between the schools and the city of Jacksonville was set to expire after this year’s game. The programs exercised an option to extend the contract for two more seasons and will formally notify Jacksonville leaders of their decisions this week.

John Kruk, the former Philadelphia Phillies legend who nearly got killed by Randy Johnson, is OVER MLB’s new pitching rules.
The ex-big leaguer was on the call for the Phillies-Diamondbacks game Wednesday afternoon, and proceeded to lose his mind over a chaotic sequence in the 10th inning involving Phillies pitcher Craig Kimbrel.
In short, the All-Star closer was issued a ball and nobody — including Kimbrel, manager Rob Thompson or Kruk — knew why.
And Kruk decided enough was ENOUGH.
“Dear crap almighty!” Kruk said before unleashing hell.
A fan in Cincinnati is going to be nursing a sore shoulder after getting drilled by a homer during Tuesday’s Reds-Cardinals game.
St. Louis DH Paul Goldschmidt got all of the 2-2 offering from Reds pitcher Graham Ashcroft. That ball left the park in a hurry which may not have given one fan enough time to take evasive maneuvers.

After retiring its “Colonials” moniker last summer due to “division among the community,” George Washington University has unveiled its new nickname.
The school will now go by the moniker of “Revolutionaries,” the university announced Wednesday.
School president Mark Wrighton and Chuck Todd of NBC News, a George Washington alum, unveiled the announcement in a post on Facebook and Instagram.
“This is an exciting day for the George Washington University Revolutionaries,” Wrighton said.
UFC president Dana White is attempting to build a new sport.
Introducing slap-fighting into the mainstream through Power Slap is White’s objective. On the surface, that seems unrealistic. But White has made a career out of accomplishing the impossible.
Hours before the Power Slap 2 event, White spoke with Sports Illustrated and offered a glimpse into how and why he promotes fights. He also shared his excitement for all things Power Slap, touched on the most pressing UFC issues surrounding Jon Jones and Conor McGregor, and detailed the departure of Francis Ngannou.
Coaches around the NFL are discussing the NFL’s new kickoff rule, but mostly in private. The consensus from those around the league: coaches generally hate it. Most don’t want to say it out loud, like Bills head coach Sean McDermott. But Chiefs head coach Andy Reid doesn’t care if there are repercussions.
On Wednesday, Reid addressed the new rule and suffice to say, he doesn’t like it.
“My thing is, where does it stop right?” Reid said. “We start taking pieces and we’ll see how this goes.
Tyreek Hill and D.K. Metcalf have long debated over who is the fastest. They both claim to be the speediest player in the NFL, but they obviously cannot share that title. It needs to be put to the test.
However, according to Metcalf, Hill has been ducking him for years.
At a 6-foot-4, 236 pounds, Metcalf is astonishingly fast. His ability to burn defensive backs on a go route has dazzled football fans for years.

And then he ran a 4.
The 2022-23 NBA season isn’t even over yet, but some observers already are offering wild speculation as to where Kyrie Irving will play next season.
He spent 3 1/2 seasons with the Nets before requesting a trade that landed him with the Mavericks. In Dallas, Irving joined forces with Luka Dončić, but the Mavericks stumbled down the stretch and ultimately missed the playoffs.
Now, Irving is set to become a free agent, and pundits are connecting all kinds of dots as to predict where he might play next season.
Discussion of LeBron James’s next move has heated up ever since James floated the possibility of retiring after the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets earlier this week. Fox Sports’ Colin Cowherd tossed out a wild potential move for LeBron on his radio show on Wednesday: a trade to the Warriors.
Cowherd’s proposal, which he says “is not tinfoil hat stuff,” would send James to Golden State in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Jordan Poole.
The NBA on TNT crew has long been known for their humorous hijinks. But Tuesday night’s interview with Warriors star Stephen Curry might have set the bar even higher for funny moments reserved only for live TV.
As the crew was finishing up an interview to honor Curry being the recipient of the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion Award, Shaquille O’Neal took a moment to compliment Curry for the honor and call him his favorite player in the league.
