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!

Rant reveals ‘sweetheart’ offer
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
One of the more interesting aspects of Myron Rolle’s rant about recruiting gurus this week in front of the Knight Commission were the comments about Tom Lemming.
Rolle, in what has become old news, told the panel Lemming, a well-known recruiting expert with 26 years in the business, tried to get him to look at Notre Dame and some other schools because he was seeking a quality education.
“Mr. Lemming had told me, ‘Myron, you’re considering Florida State and Oklahoma. [You’ve got] a 4.0 GPA and 1340 on your SAT — you’re very smart. Why won’t you consider a school like Stanford, Princeton or Notre Dame?’’’ Rolle said.
The bigger bombshell was this: “He told me that if I kept a certain school (Notre Dame) on my list — the U.S. All-American game is played on NBC — that I would be featured in that game and that I would win the MVP if I had an average game,” said Rolle.
Interestingly, NBC and Notre Dame have a long history that includes a contract to televise Irish games worth millions to the school and probably more to the network.
