Was Georgia still a criminal colony back then? Kinda funny that Georgia was founded for that purpose and over two centuries later their football players still honor their roots.

Not necessarily a criminal colony but a debtor's colony.

Well frick, dude. Given that the school was founded AFTER the Revolutionary War, no I don't think we qualified any longer as a colony, let alone a penal colony that consisted almost entirely of common debtors that England no longer wanted rotting away in prisons back at home. So, your analogy sucks on two historical levels.
Good job
