Just saying places like UGA and LSU being the big dog of their state has parents raising their kids to love that team. I live in LA and many youth football teams are purple and gold as well as HS teams. I coached when my son played and on homecoming day all of the kids say they wanna play for LSU when they grow up.

See, this is where Ga and La are different. La has many more home grown people than Ga and thus more loyal to the state and the state school. Ga has a large transient population thus many not as loyal to the state.
