UGA blog finds new home
Morning all. As I’ve said a couple of times this week, we’re converting this blog over to a WordPress platform and it will be a permanent move the first of next week.
Those of you who are regulars probably know that I’m not what you’d call techno-wizard when it comes to these things. But from what I understand the technology offered in this new format should make the blogging and commenting experience better for all. Of course, I’ll be learning as we go along, too. But I’m hoping to provide more pictures and video and things like that which should bring the blog more to life.
Of course, this blog is nothing without all you guys so I want to heartily invite (read: beg) you to come over to the new site by CLICKING HERE ON THE NEW ADDRESS and save it in your browsers. As of Monday, Feb. 23rd, this will be the permanent home of the UGA blog you so love or, in the case of some of you, love to loathe. If you’d prefer to copy and paste or just memorize, the new address is: http://blogs.ajc.com/uga-sports-blog/.
See at the new place!

Trick or treat
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With Halloween just around the corner it’s time to have some fun with the coaches of the SEC. The following is a list of costumes for the merry band of men should they decide to hit some doorsteps and rings some bells.
Phil Fulmer: Baby Huey. It was suggested by an Alabama fan — that’s all I’m saying.
Urban Meyer: Town Crier. Anybody else see the end of that LSU game?
Mark Richt: Marcus Welby, M.D. Get him a quarterback. Stat.
Rich Brooks: Hobo. No doubt he will be wandering aimlessly without work in the very near future.
Steve Spurrier: Chicken Little. The sky might not be falling but his stature sure is.
Ed Orgeron: Stanley Kowalski. Just looks like a guy with some inner turmoil. Plus chances are he would look right at home in the outfit Brando made famous.
Houston Nutt: Planters’ Mr. Peanut. C’mon, too easy.
Bobby Johnson: Joseph Deiss, Swiss president. After all, the Commodores are never a real threat to anyone.
Tommy Tuberville Sports anchor. Given his recent outburst at the evil empire, ESPN, nothing else will do.
Mike Shula: Put him in all plaid. It’s not houndstooth but it’s close. About as close as he or anyone else is ever going to get.
Sylvester Croom: Sanitation engineer. He’s got a huge mess to clean up.
Les Miles: Ned Beatty from Deliverance. Remember that scene … wait, wait of course you do. Everybody does. Well, that would have been Miles if he didn’t get the overtime win over Auburn.
I’m sure some of you oh-so-clever bloggers can come up with better ideas, so have it.

We’ve got spirits, yes we do!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ah, autumn in the South. Cool weather, the changing leaves, Thanksgiving draws near — a time when families come together to celebrate a sense of kinship and unity and…
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. It’s Cocktail Party time, y’all. Time for a different sort of communal outpouring.
Last year, 84,753 partied it up in Jax for the annual Georgia-Florida hookup, finding time somewhere in their busy tailgating schedules for, you know, that football game that happens during the weekend. And the above number is the official statistic for the folks who were counted as having bought or received tickets. Who knows how many party animals, Dawgs and Gators alike, were just there to soak up the atmosphere? Or something 80 proof, anyway.
And so, in the spirit of, well, getting in the spirit of The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, we here at the AJC want to know how y’all get in the spirit for Georgia-Florida. Whether you hit the road and head on down, up or over to Jacksonville for the total tailgating experience or if you just tear off the tinfoil on a TV dinner while watching the game on the big screen in the comfort of your own living room, we’re sure you’re mixing it up with friends and we’re curious as to exactly what “it” is.
Share your favorite Cocktail Party cocktail recipes here so we can all cowboy up (or nightingale it) and get lashed to the past while reliving Belue-to-Scott in ‘80 or all those Evil Genius ’90s-era rompfests.
