Urban Meyer loves rivalries.

He has had Jack Youngblood and Emmitt Smith come and talk to his Florida players about Gator lore.

Meyer loves the atmosphere and traditions of college football.

After the third quarter at Florida's opener, Meyer removed his headset to hear the crowd sing We Are The Boys From Old Florida.

So Meyer is sure to love the Gators' rivalry with Georgia.

It has history from "fourth and dumb" to "Run, Lindsay, run!"

It has personality from Steve Spurrier to Ray Goof, err, Goff.

And it has a cool nickname if you enjoy a cocktail or two.

But as the first Gator coach since Charley Pell with no previous ties to the university, Meyer has much to learn about the rivalry.

We're here to help.

Enjoy Urban Meyer's Guide to the Florida-Georgia Rivalry.
