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!

What Ball will bring

Barring any unforeseen hiccups, Georgia should hire Virginia Tech’s Tony Ball in the next day or two as running backs coach. What changes the former Virginia Tech assistant might make with the running game could be interesting to watch.

Ball, while he has coached wide receivers, is a former running back. Georgia’s running backs were coached by Kirby Smart last season. Smart was a defensive coach who was just spending a year on the offensive side of the ball. While he did a good job (Georgia did finish third in the SEC in rushing), another offensive mind such as Ball’s could help the Bulldogs’ rushing against the better defenses of the SEC.

He may also help improve the patience and the vision of the backs through teaching simply because he knows whereof he speaks.
