No. It is simply North Georgia
North Ga is the Foothills and Mountains. Athens is not North Ga.

Ah, I see exactly where your confusion is coming from.
The designations of north, middle, and south are determined by location rather than geography. Each is equal latitudinally, 1/3 of the whole.
Thats how normal Georgians think of it anyways.

So, how could Ga be considered king? Maybe in the state of Ga.
Highest ranked SEC team in the polls last year.
Tied with Texas for highest ranked team in the polls last year in this upcoming season's SEC (both were 3rd in one poll and 4th in the other).
For the teams that don't win the title, the poll rankings determine the order of finish in the previous season. Obviously if you win the national title you're #1. After that it's just how you're ranked.
And no, winning a SEC title doesn't mean anything. UGA in 2021, Bama in 2017 and Bama in 2012 show that very clearly.

No... North Georgia is the part of the state that's in the North.

They still want the water Tennessee refused to give them in the early 2000s.

Lil smokey is STILL arguing about geography?? How much do you love being wrong?

If you had taken any sociology or anthropology classes you would know that artificial latitude lines do not adequately define regions.
I’m defining regions based on common characteristics in culture, geography, climate, topography. You know, in a way that makes the most sense. Looking at commonality when drawing lines.
Athens is not north Georgia, the culture, the terrain, the geography just do not fit. They do fit with high commonality with middle Georgia. They are not in the northern part of the state, they are in the middle region of the state

I know, so thanks for pointing out where you went wrong.
This isn’t science class at middle Georgia small college academia looking at topography maps. Only a weirdo academic would view it like that.
This is about locations and how normal people view them on a map. All you do is divide it by 3 using those artificial lines you have grown to detest.
Using the common sense I described, a person can simply look at a map and see the north part is the top 1/3 part of the state, which begins below right Atlanta.

A simpleton with a simpleton world view. You probably feel the top half of 285 is north Georgia. What a small world you live in.

It’s a simple concept and simple suffices. It must be hard for a small college academic nut like you having to do with all of those normal people and their common sense.

But it doesn’t. Athens has zero commonality with north Georgia. Ask anyone from Georgia to describe north Georgia and you will here foothills and mountains, Helen and Ellington. The Blue ridge Mountains, the Georgia highlands. Not Athens GA.
Do you put Atlanta in North Georgia now too?

All it needs is location commonality, shown on a map with commonly used latitudinal lines.
A mountain doesn’t change location. A mountain is irrelevant in this kind of discussion.
Then again, this is how a normal person thinks, so you wouldn’t understand.

Doesn’t even have that.

It has a latitudinal commonality. The most important commonality to have in a discussion about latitude.
I wouldn’t expect a small school academic to understand normal folk.

What latitude does north Georgia start at for you? Where do you believe the line is?

Just take the L and move on lil Smokey. Now you're arguing that the culture of Athens means it's not in north Ga. You seriously need some help lil guy.

I can't wait to see how you explain your way out of this one.

This is absolutely 100% the dumbest attempt at reasoning I've seen in quite sometime. You're trying to explain why a town located in the northern part of the state is actually in middle Georgia.
And you failed. Miserably.

This has been done to death.
Athens is not in the foothills or mountains of Georgia, it’s not in west Georgia, it’s not in South Georgia, it’s not in the coastal regions, ergo it’s middle Georgia.
A great break down of this has been done multiple times already. Culturally, topographically, geographically, Athens has more in common with Augusta and Macon than any of the North Georgia regional cities.
Stop with the simpleton small world view and actually think this through. Think about North Georgia is, what comes to mind when you think of North Georgia. Does that match with Athens? The answer is no.
