I'm about an hour away from Athens, GA but it is mostly Yellow Jackets in my family, lots of Dawgs here in Georgia
The GTECH crew is kind of arrogant in that way in that if you didn't go there or if someone in your immediate family didn't go there then you can't be a fan unless you live right near campus or in the middle of downtown------However, I'm alot bigger Kansas State fan (I jumped on their wagon in the mid 90's and never got off) and a New Mexico Lobo fan (I went there)
I hear ya....I grew up in Snellville, then moved to South Carolina for school, hence the Furman in my name, and live in Charleston now.
GT fans have an inferiority complex, and if you read the AJC, you see the message boards proclaiming GT to never lose to UGA again. I actually have somewhat of an education and realize that games are what they are. I am proud to be a fan, but know that seasons come and go, but proud to always support my team, and feel like I know more about UGA than most fans do.
BOL this season Go for It.
