The other thing that hasn't been brought up about this post: 8 US Army All Americans from the Atlanta, only 1 of them is committed to UGA.
And they're going here, there and everywhere (UT, Ohio State, UF, Michigan, Notre Dame, and possibly Miami).
UGA is winning right now, has the bags out according to all of us (myself included lol), and is 1.5-2hrs away from every kid in the Atlanta area. And kids are still leaving the state like they always have.
I say that to say this: I know we (again, myself included) get on the South Florida kids for not showing "the Crib" more love and not having loyalty to their home area; but it ain't unique to us.
The "SoFla diva mentality" that we notice because we're so close to it, prolly looks like the "Metro-Atlanta diva mentality" to a UGA fan seeing numerous kids go elsewhere, or the "Texas diva mentality" to a fan of UT or TAMU seeing kids in-state going to schools out of state, so and so on.
This is not to say that all those are equal situations, it's just to point out that what's happening down here is not wholly unique to us and South Florida.
Kids are leaving everywhere to go everywhere else. Gotta have more than just "Make the crib great!" to keep kids home. Sometimes that's bags, sometimes its winning, sometimes its this:

And that brings me to my last point, I made this entire long serious post, just to ask you this in conclusion:
Go Canes!
