It's more common when "University" is before the state name.

it's got to be "university of georgia at athens"
i'm pretty confident this is not why. i really think it is just because the state is GA and we just did it that way

Sometimes you will see UoG but I think U Ga just evolved to UGA a couple hundred years ago and stuck.

Old state abbreviation for Georgia was Ga. so this makes the most sense except that the new abbreviations (GA) weren't implemented until 1963.

is it so people don't say "you can't spell thug without UG"
Even though it's still a possibility, I haven't seen any posts with, "You can't spell Les miLes without two L's" lately.

Can't believe the UGA fans don't know this. They must be sidewalk fans.
It stands for University of Georgia Athletics.

I am pretty sure it is at its heart a linguistics matter. In the English language it is more simply more natural to have "ga" at the end than stop on a G or a V, ( like UVA). Just a thought.
