I grew up in Stone Mountain but lived all over Gwinnett, Barrow, Greene and Walton Counties. I live in Monroe now. I even lived in Athens for a brief stint.
Believe it or not there are quite a few UT fans this close to Athens. Winder-Barrow area is filled with UT fans. And Oconee Co., just south of Athens, has Sherriff's deputies with UT on the front plates of their cars. It's funny having UGA fans driving up 441 on game day looking at police cars with UT plates catching them speeding. Actually my orange stickers got me off of a ticket one time.
