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!

Lassoing the Cowboys
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Grabbing Oklahoma State as the opener is a strong move by Georgia. The Cowboys are decent this year but will have their best year in several years next season. Most of the talent is young and they will have experience in big games on the road.
The last time OSU went on a big nonconference road trip was in 2004 when it beat UCLA in the opener. The quarterback in that game, Donovan Woods, will be the starting safety against Georgia. But year in and year out, OSU has to travel to either Texas or Oklahoma, so it knows what it is like to play in a serious venue and probably will not come in intimidated.
But props to Georgia for stepping up in scheduling. With this game Georgia will have OSU, Arizona State, Colorado and Louisville, in addition to Georgia Tech, as nonconference opponents in the next four seasons. That’s pretty decent.
Then there is the always the away game at Florida. But next year there is a bye before Florida. There is not one before Florida in 2008. Georgia cannot do much about that. The SEC sets the conference schedule.
