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!

How about a Dogs-Hokies matchup?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bowl bids don’t go out until Sunday, but let’s get real. The SEC is going to have two teams in the BCS. LSU is ranked No. 5. The winner of Arkansas-Florida goes to the Sugar Bowl.
So what? That means Georgia will in all likelihood play Virginia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. I’ve heard from many of you who are hopeful of this.
Be careful what you wish for.
In the Hokies, Georgia will be facing the ACC’s hottest team. They’ve won six in a row. In that span, they knocked off then-No. 10 Clemson 24-7 and won at then-No. 14 Wake Forest 27-6.
Virginia Tech (10-2) has a 1,000-yard rusher in Brandon Ore (1,095 to be exact), who also scored 15 touchdowns. Its kicker has made 17 of 18 field goals. And we haven’t even talked about the defense yet.
Now we will: The Hokies are ranked No. 1 in the nation in total defense (221.1 ypg), No. 1 in scoring defense (9.3 ppg) and No. 1 passing defense (128.2 ypg).
Still want to play them?
Seriously, the Bulldogs would probably be decided underdogs in such a matchup. Would you like to see Georgia play Virginia Tech? Can the Dogs take them? If so, how and why? Do you like the idea of Georgia playing in the Georgia Dome for the third time since last December? Will you go?
Or am I just missing the boat all together and the Dogs will fall to the Music City Bowl in Nashville?
Hey, it’s never too soon to speculate!
