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 looking for support
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As I wrote in a story that will appear in Wednesday’s paper, Georgia has had a tough time getting regular and unconditional support of its basketball program.
So far this year, the Bulldogs are 10th among the 12 SEC teams in attendance. But it hasn’t always been that way.
Georgia fans sold out every SEC game at Stegeman Coliseum in both of Jim Harrick’s last two seasons. That’s 16 games in all. Tubby Smith and Hugh Durham each had similar runs. Dennis Felton even had one. So Dawg fans clearly will back a winner.
The book is still out on this year’s team. They’re clearly very competitive and, except for some tough breaks and a couple of injuries might have a few more wins at this moment. As it is - 11-6, 3-2 SEC - is it enough to get you excited about Georgia hoops? Anybody going to make a special effort to come this week just because of the magnitude of the games?
You Atlantans and those of you who live an hour or more away from Athens, does the distance away and time of games effect whether you’ll try to go or not?
Meanwhile, I’ve been unable to get Gerald Boudreaux, SEC supervisor of officials, on the phone today.
Word is, official Tom Lopes, the head referee of this past Saturday’s game against Alabama, will not be allowed to work any Georgia games, at least this week. I’ll keep trying Boudreaux and file an update if one is warranted.
