True even for my friends. My area growing up was really Tech-heavy. Once Richt was hired, that really all started to shift, such that pretty much all of my friends who went to smaller state schools are all UGA fans now. Some did transfer and graduate, FWIW.

But metro Atlanta i just killing UGA. There are still good kids for sure, but there is a lot of natty or bust attitude, and a lot of students who just tune out unless they're going to win it all. Not to make generalizations, the greek crowd is still pretty good, but the rest of the student body is changing rapidly when it comes to fan interactions and support.

Plus, I just don't think anyone in the SEC (even bama fans) are hanging onto the "y'all cheated and bought a title" thing more than UGA fans.

These same seats a few weeks ago for the Ole Miss game, the couple sitting next to us were younger. Both dressed in Ole Miss clothes, but were screaming and yelling and going on and on about how great it was that UGA beat Tenn.

I talked to the kid a bit and he was from Gwinnett and probably has a lot of friends at UGA, but if he went to Ole Miss, why was he so invested in the UGA/Tenn game?
