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!

Dogs should play LB Bailey outside
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Allen Bailey wants to play linebacker at the next level. I just don’t see it happening. Not at Georgia, anyway.
The Bulldogs have already experimented with bigger linebackers (Brandon Miller) and that has not gotten them great results. It has become obvious Miller is better suited for defensive end, and that is where Georgia wants him to play next season.
Plus, Georgia has recruited a slew of smaller faster linebackers like Akeem Hebron. OK, having said all that, Bailey is exceptionally fast for his size (6 feet 3, 260).
But middle linebacker should be the spot for Darius Dewberry or Marcus Washington in the coming seasons and it seems as if Bailey would be wasted there when his true potential is at the end spot.
Even Dewberry is 40 pounds lighter than Bailey. (Washington, by the way, is hurt so don’t count on him for next season.)
Now I am not saying Bailey is a bad middle linebacker. I watched him closely at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and the guy can really move sideline to sideline. But he is only going to get bigger under Georgia’s strength and conditioning program. So why not just start him on the outside and let him grow into the position?
