We go the same word a bit north of you, so I think it's safe to rely on.

I've noticed at the games here at Georgia Southern University (I-AA) the crews (Southern Conference) have been using bright orange bean bags. Trust me, there ain't no losing those things. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Here in GA, I haven't heard of any official word on which color to use. Pretty mush everyone sticks with white. I'm a BJ, and I take both out onto a field. I use the blue for the PSK spot (wherever the kick was caught) and use the white for all fumbles/first touching.

And for the record, can I just stress how much it drives me crazy when I see refs bean bag an interception in HS?!

I've seen that a couple of times. The next game I officiate will be my first, so I was very confused as to why it was done.
