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!

NCAA bid within Dogs’ grasp

It’s here. It’s crunch time. It’s time to bale hay or move off the farm.

Georgia has seven games remaining in this basketball season — eight if you count at least one game in the SEC tournament — and it SHOULD make the NCAA tournament field if it wins at least five of those. For sure if they win six.

Georgia will be favored in almost every one. Only the Feb. 28th game at Kentucky — on Senior Night — looks ominously difficult. Kennesaw State is a given, then there’s the rest.

The Bulldogs could take a huge first step tomorrow night at South Carolina (7:30 p.m., FSN South). Here’s the remaining ones after that: Kennesaw State, Auburn, at Ole Miss, Mississippi State, at Kentucky, home versus Tennessee.

You tell me how many of those they’ll win. Which ones might they lose?

What do you think they’ll finish the overall season? Does that get the Dogs into the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002?

And what about the Gamecocks tomorrow in Columbia? Georgia beat them by 24 here in Athens? Any reason Georgia shouldn’t sweep them for the second season in a row?

Talk some hoops!
