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!

Hebron’s suspension will hurt
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m sure everybody’s read about Akeem Hebron’s arrest by now. Too bad. Georgia had made it all the way until now without an arrest since the end of last season. At least that we know about.
Look for Hebron to be suspended for the first two games. UGA’s policy is suspension for 1.2 games for an alcohol-related arrests. There will be a lot of counseling and, ahem, in-house discipline, too.
In the sad but true department, the Bulldogs probably could have withstood this well at almost every other position. Coaches really like Hebron and his exceptional speed at linebacker. He was going to battle for a starting job this spring. Obviously he won’t be able to do that, now, at least in the first couple of games. What’s unknown is how it will affect his status otherwise.
I’d like to hear your philosophy on these things. Hebron’s indiscretion, after all, was not the most egregious in the world. Pretty common among college students, actually.
Should it be held against him in regard to the depth chart? Is his arrest a black eye for Georgia’s football leadership? Are you upset with the Bulldogs that this whole thing happened?
