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!

Do all Dogs say “Go Hogs?”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The SEC Championship Game is being played in Atlanta this weekend and, for just the second time in the last five years, Georgia’s not in it.
So where does that put the game on the radar screen of the Bulldog Nation?
I tend to gauge such things off my younger brother, a UGA graduate and big-time football fan (he doesn’t really get into basketball or baseball much). Anyway, he’s fired up about watching the SEC title game on television and there is no uncertainty whatsoever with him in terms of whom he wants to win.
He’s Arkansas all the way!
For him it’s pretty simple: Florida is Florida and Arkansas is not Florida. The way he explains it, if you’re Georgia, you can’t root for Florida in anything. Ever.
So is that how all you Dawgs feel about it? Is there no Eastern Division pride at play here?
It is a really intriguing matchup. Can the Gators contain Darren McFadden (they’re ranked No. 10 in the nation in total defense, you know)? I can’t wait to see McFadden on the fast track that is the Georgia Dome’s Field Turf.
Meanwhile, you’ve got a pretty good Florida team that has been anything but dominant but just continuously does what it takes to win. Can the Hogs stop Chris Leak, Percy Harvin, Dallas Baker and company? If Florida wins, does that make it the SEC team to beat –- instead of Georgia -– the next few years?
Let’s hear your analyses and score predictions for the game.
