Are you as irrational in real life as you are on the net when the subject of Georgia comes up?

Uh no, Atlanta us home to more fortune 1000 companies than any metro in America not named New York or San Francisco. It’s long been the busiest Airport in the world…and it not because it’s a 3rd rate city it’s because consequential things happen there. There are world class universities and research hospitals there. It’s the 3rd largest film industry center in the US behind LA & New York. It’s a top 7 population MSA, and has more trees and green space than any other too 10 population city. It’s hosted the Olympics. It’s home to the CFB hall of fame.

Get out of here with that nonsense. ATL is a great city.

No it is because someone decided to build Atlanta in a terrible spot and they can't manage their resources anymore. Sherman was on to something


Lol anyone arguing any city in Tennessee is better than Atlanta is a fricking retard of the highest order. Buckhead by itself is 10x better than the nicest part of Tennessee. All big cities have big problems like crime, infrastructure, etc but there isn’t a single decent city in Tennessee let alone a big city. Memphis is a literal shithole that smells like old French fries and farts when you cross the river and is home to some of the scum of the earth.

Atlanta has 29 top 1000

Houston has 39
Dallas has 45
Chicago has over 60

so no it's 100% inaccurate.

The current contract runs thru 2026 and likely will be renewed thru 2036. After 2036 there might be a rotation.

Like with moving the SEC Office out of Birmingham, instead of whining on a message board contact your AD who has the power to actually make it happen

Having moved from Nashville to Atlanta and currently living close to Buckhead, I know both areas well. On avg houses in Belle Meade, Brentwood, and Franklin are larger and more expensive than houses in Buckhead. That being said I hope the game stays in Atlanta. Infrastructure in Nashville is terrible.

People love shitting on Atlanta on here and it's usually someone from either a shitty part of GA or some hellhole like Baton Rouge or NOLA.

It's normally the latter 2. And it's funny b/c they don't make many shittier cities than those two.

I get that Atlanta is somewhat of a central location in the SEC


The SEC = Southeastern conference.

Atlanta = central location for the southeast.

Missouri Texas and Oklahoma are not southeastern states. Plain and simple. Don’t like it? Shouldn’t have let the big 12 die. That conference was once comparable to the SEC.

A rotation means the game will never be Atlanta again.

I don’t care if it’s changed or rotated as long as it’s not in Birmingham.

West Tn is a different state for all intents and purposes. But east TN is superior to the Atlanta metro by every meaningful metric. The Knoxville metro has less crime, better public schools, better politicians (and we despite the mayor of Knoxville as an out of place liberal but at least she’s competent just misguided), taxes, etc.

When the country Balkanizes I want the northern areas above 575, part of northern SC, western NC and WV to join east tn in the state of Franklin part of the Appalachian republic.

This might be the stupidest post I’ve ever seen on this forum, as well as factually inaccurate.

quote:

With a crime rate of 51 per one thousand residents, Knoxville has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 20.

The GDP of this proposed country would be roughly the same as Sudan. Hope Knoxville is ready to shoulder the load for paying for the food and medicine of everyone north of them. Asheville sure as hell ain't joining the Free State.
