re: UGA seeking to kill Georgia State football

Atlanta is simply the place where the rest of the world meets the state of Georgia. There are tiny alcoves within the city that still carry some traditional southern flare but "Atlanta" and "Georgia" had might as well be two different states entirely. Savannah, Macon, Augusta, Valdosta, Columbus, and (while we're apparently assigning cities to different states) Chattanooga are all southern and Georgia cities. Atlanta is its own thing entirely.
