By John Buhler
Alabama football fans are wondering where on Planet Earth is Mercer University located.
With the Alabama Crimson Tide hosting the Mercer Bears on Saturday afternoon, many Alabama fans are wondering where the university is located.
Well, they might be surprised with how close Mercer is to Tuscaloosa. The Bears may have only been playing football since 2013 after going defunct in the lead-up to World War II, but they have been able to hold their own at the FCS level.
Where is Mercer located?
They call Macon, Georgia their home. It is a major city in Central Georgia famous for its musical acts from Otis Redding to The Allman Brothers Band. It is roughly an hour south of Atlanta. While you can make the drive there very easily, it is not part of the Metro Atlanta area. Still, it is one of the bigger cities in the entire state, so do with that what you will.
The next time somebody asks you where Mercer is, tell them the university is in Macon, Georgia.
