I'm curious... I see Auburn, Florida, Bama, T, USCe stickers on cars all over the place in metro ATL, and even around Athens, believe it or not.
But whenever I'm in South Carolina or Florida or Alabama, I don't usually see too many UGA stickers.
How many of you here are fans of SEC (not UGA) schools and live in the metro?

Because people don't graduate college and look for jobs in Montgomery or Columbia. Atlanta is one of the biggest and most booming major cities in the Southeast, that's where the jobs and opportunities are.

There are plenty of UGA fans in Charleston, SC. Many of my closest friends are UGA grads.
Lots of USC fans in ATL b/c we don't have a large metro area to send our kids to in-state once they graduate. Most don't want to stay in Columbia b/c of the stigma of remaining in your college town post graduation. And they don't go upstate b/c that's Clemson territory. And only post grads go to Charleston b/c its too expensive to live on the peninsula otherwise. Therefore, end up in Charlotte, ATL, and beyond.
FWIW, I spent most of last summer in Buckhead and rarely encountered USC fans except for friends I knew who already lived there.

I lived there for 4 years (MP), I only ever knew 1 other UGA fan (all the way over in JI).
I watched the UGA-USCe game at Wild Wing MP once... guess how many UGA fans were there?
