Random towns in Georgia outside of metro Atlanta have less Tech people than Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, etc folks, whereas go to a random town in South Carolina or Alabama and there are going to be a minimum of 20-25% of one or the other fans.


Agreed. Tech alumni also tend to move around the country a little more often, as they work with engineering firms around the US.

That said, whenever I travel through small-town GA, I'm always surprised as to just how many random baws in trucks you see with a GT plate. Guys running manufacturing plants, or tending to construction firms and the like. If GT had the ag school, you'd see even more of it.

Yep - and there are a lot of old multi-generational Tech families out there. Tech just become such a good school and such a tough admit while also sinking in football that it kind of broke the line of non-alum fandom that other southern state schools have kept over the years.
