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!

Does Tech-UGA matter?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Just wondering where the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry ranks with you in terms of national significance. I wouldn’t consider it up there with the Michigan-Ohio State game or Texas-Oklahoma or Southern Cal-Notre Dame or even Georgia-Florida or Georgia-Auburn. All of those games — in the past 10 years, at least — have held national significance.
While Georgia-Georgia Tech has had national implications in the past, year in and year out it lacks the punch on both sides of the ball that the more serious games across the country always seem to have. Quite frankly, even within each respective team’s conferences there are more intriguing and important games to be played and won.
There should be more intrigue this year just because of the year each team is having. Those who follow the Bulldogs have now had their hopes raised. And Tech’s hopes have been sky-high all season. Plus, there is the extra added bonus for Tech that it knows it can knock Georgia to Nashville and the Music City Bowl.
