HOME & HOME!!! NOBODY can tell me a 4+ hr. drive from Athens IS THE SAME as a 1 hr. drive from Gainesville! It's basically a "Home" game for the Swamp Rats.
Florida takes a 2 hour bus ride. Georgia's team flies an hour and takes a 1 one hour bus ride. It is the same thing for the teams.
Now the fans: Jacksonville is the closest big city to the border. Florida fans have to drive from as far as Miami, while Georgia fans drive as far as Atlanta. Essentially the exact same thing.
The only argument a fan of Georgia really has is that it screws over the students having to drive from Athens.
After living in Jacksonville, I would hardly call it a "home" game. Perhaps you would like Valdosta instead?

It's a bowl game mid season, keep that shite where it belongs.

I would imagine when you drive across that Georgia line practically everybody in the state is a Georgia fan. As soon as you get into Florida I would think you would see a pretty good split of UF and FSU fans. I don't see the so called home field advantage for Florida but this is my perspective as an outsider who has never been.

Nope - I'ld love a Home/Home! Always have/always will.
BTW, know how far a plane can go in 1 hr.? A HELL OF A LOT FURTHER than a bus on land! So, while time might be close, DISTANCE is a whole different ballgame.
