One of the many privledges that I enjoy as a UGA student who attends football games is the fact that the university is located where it is in relation to our opponents.
I cannot think of school in a major conference that is better located for students to be able to support their team than we are.
The Auburn, Georgia Tech, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and SEC championship games can all be gotten to and returned from in the same day, if necessary. Our only two regular opponents that require an overnight stay are Kentucky and Florida. Because the two rotating opponents from the east are always one home and the other away, and Kentucky rotates home and away each year, that means that in any given season we basically play at most 3 games that you have to book a hotel for (always Florida, Kentucky every other year, and whoever it is we're playing from Mississippi, Louisianna, or Arkansas). Thanks to this often-taken-for-granted fact about our university, UGA students are in a better position to be able to attend all of their school's games in any given season than just about any other BCS school. This also applies to any Dawg fans living in north Georgia, weather they go here or not.
Imagine being a student at Miami, for example. Their nearest regular road opponent is FSU, about 500 miles away. Their next closest regular road opponent is either Clemson or Georgia Tech (about the same distance, probably). Driving from Miami to Atlanta is like driving from Athens to Chicago. Then they have to play the schools up in Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusettes. You'd basically have to fly to those games, because you can drive there and back in a weekend from the tip of south Florida. So, unless they happen to be playing a close non-conference opponent like South Florida or Central Florida, there are no road games that are only a day trip for a Miami student.
If you go to Michigan and you're playing Wisconsin you have to drive all the way around Lake Michigan to get to the game. It takes about 8 hours to drive to a place that is less than 200 miles away by the way the crow flies. Same with games at Iowa and Minnesota. Trip takes longer than it should because of the lake.
PAC 10 fans have to drive all the way up and down the west coast to see their team play.
Big 12 fans have to drive hundreds of miles across those big, flat square states that feels like you're never going to see the end of it when you're going through it.
Big East fans have the same problem ACC fans do: the conference stretches all the way up and down the east coast.
So, there really is no excuse for us to not have the best traveling fan base in the country.
