    Yeah, 80% of all fans didn’t attend the school if I had to guess for any team. Eff anyone who has a problem with it

    I went to school in Texas because that's where I grew up. However, my son is a UGA grad. Would I qualify as, maybe, a "legacy fan". at least.

    Not that I care because that's some of the craziest chit I've ever heard. (And I read @MackDawg's posts)

    Grew up bleeding red and black, however l initially got two years from a local junior college and then attended UGA for my junior year before actually graduating from Ga. Southern (long story). The latter I root for to do well except when playing the Dawgs because at the end of it all that diploma is just a piece of paper in comparison to my first love. Go Dawgs!

    Me too, I refuse to tell you guys where I got my degree. Got my associates at Waycross college but that's all I'm willing to say. Always been a Dawgs fan thru-n-thru. Always wore my Georgia Hat to class. Only game I would go to of my university is when they would play the Dawgs and I'd support the Dawgs. My classmates hated it...oh well🤷


    P.S. it's not florida.

    I love my state and my state school. Nuff said.


    I’m thinking about doing the online masters degree in business tech from UGA though.

    The “rule” of needing to graduate to be a fan was invented specifically for Alabama fans. Way too many crazy unintelligent folks running around this past decade boasting success that they personally had nothing to do with.

    You can be a fan for many reasons. My wife went to UT but she’s been all Georgia for a while because I teach her about the players and she always looks good in red and black.

    To qualify as a fan, you at least need to have attended a game.

    I have a son who graduated from UF but bleeds Red and Black and only roots for UGA. Had UGA bed stuff in his UF dorm. He actually has people that tell him he has to root for UF. He tells them Nah. Have another son who graduated from UCF and Nova Southeastern. He roots fro UGA and UCF.

    NOPE. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT!! H.E.L.L. NO!!! If you didn't graduate from UGA, you cannot be a bulldog fan!!! Just kidding :) Any one with the good sense and superior intelligence to root for Georgia is certainly entitled to be called a BULLDOG FAN!!!

    That's ridiculous. The only time I say that is when poking at a guy I work with who is a flarda fan. He always tell me I should go to the hot place below. Nobody cares who graduated from where

    This is still America. Freedom.

    You should never have to listen to that kind of nonsense. I have two degrees from UGA. And yet, please know there are clowns who tell folks like me I should pull for the school that is closer to my home, rather than my alma mater located in Athens Georgia. Ain’t going to happen.

    Folks who are telling you that nonsense just don’t understand. Some of the most loyal and rabid Dawg fans may not have attended UGA. Doesn’t matter. What matters is that you support the Dawgs in good times and bad. That’s what makes you a Georgia fan, not a diploma on your wall.

    The University of Georgia is going to be my team until the last day I’m alive on this earth. And if by the Good Lord’s mercy and grace I make it to the promised land, I hope I’m wearing Red and Black when I get there.

    Go Dawgs!
