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!

Where’s the fan support?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m sitting here at Stegeman Coliseum waiting for the Bulldogs to start basketball practice. They’re getting ready for Vanderbilt to come in here tomorrow.
Believe it or not, it’ll be Georgia’s first chance to move above .500 in SEC play since 2003, when the sky fell in on Jim Harrick’s program.
The Dogs should win but, as always in the SEC , it’s sure to be a knock-down, bloody fight.
Georgia looked great in its 80-56 win over South Carolina Wednesday. Still, I can’t help but wonder why the Dogs can’t get better support at home than they do. I know they haven’t won much lately in the wake of the Harrick scandal. But this is a pretty talented bunch and they play really hard every game. Seems to me if “you’re Georgia” as the Bulldogs’ promotions say and they’re wearing “Georgia” across their chests you’d want to come out and support them.
Of course, I’ve chronicled Georgia’s every basketball game the last three seasons and I’m here to tell you this is a good squad. If nothing else, they’re exciting to watch. I think it’s good entertainment, but that’s just me.
In other news around campus, I interviewed new offensive line coach Stacy Searels today and a story should be up online shortly and will be in tomorrow’s paper. Carter Strickland will be doing something a little more extensive on him next weekend which will detail the fascinating story of how Searels saved lives when he was an assistant coach at Appalachian State.
That said, I’d love to hear some chatter about basketball today. The Dogs have a chance to at least move up past South CArolina and Vanderbilt in the East and I think they’ll be able to go toe-to-toe with the rest of the league this season. What do y’all think?
