572:. The physical item is new, but the rivalry is old. I don't see how the age of the physical trophy would make it insignificant. Last I looked the general criteria for notability, notability is met by citing independent sources of media coverage, but I don't recall any requirement that there be national coverage. That said, every article I read on the Oar referenced its introduction on CBS' television broadcast prior to the game.

replacement for the old name, but I just don't see that claim being verified in reliable sources. The
Cocktail Party article itself states that the tradition is ongoing and has the halloween matchup as its latest occurance. It should probably be renamed to something like "Florida-Georgia rivalry" which I believe is our standard naming convention for articles such as this.

which is the main article about the rivalry. Yes the rivalry is notable, as pointed out above, but this particular award doesn't have the historical tradition that the rivalry itself does and it is best mentioned within the greater context of the rivalry. I respect
Davemaul's claim that this is the

Davemaul. I was actually surprised that such a page does not exist, the rivalry is notable and a bit about the oar would be great. I still think that a page generated prior to, or just after, the 'first annual' anything is too soon. Some

is an outdated reference that is historical. The current, accepted reference is the

391:. Can't agree that it's too new. Florida-Georgia is one of the premier rivalries in college football. Trophies associated with college football's significant rivalries (most less signficant than Georgia-Florida) are acknowledged to be notable.
677:, or move the Cocktail party article to 'Florida-Georgia football rivalry' and then redirect it. Personally, I like "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party," which has 1410 Google news hits. Usage of that term peaked in 2006.
273:, none reported on the awarding of the oar. Another google & google news search one day after it has been awarded and there is still no non-local coverage. The other similar awards have a much longer history.
