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!

Dance or not, a good season
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
OK, there’s still a chance Georgia makes the Big Dance, but it’s starting to look increasingly remote. Suffice it to say the Dogs have to whip Tennessee in Athens on Saturday and then they may have to get one or two in the SEC tournament.
The pool for the at-large spots is shrinking fast and, of course, there are always one or two small or mid-major conference favorites that will get knocked out in its league tournament which will eat up another spot.
Even if Georgia doesn’t make the NCAAs and has to settle for the NIT, I believe it’s been a successful season. Especially considering all they’ve had to endure. Going all the way back to late last spring, the Dogs have absorbed one blow after another. If for no other reason than being an empathetic human being, I look forward to the day Dennis Felton’s team does not have to encounter many and varied setbacks just to see what they may be able to do.
Meanwhile, a few of you guys mentioned this earlier this week, but Georgia needs to be focused on beating the Vols for no other reason than they are the Vols, they are rivals in the same division and they decided to make the aisles of Stegeman Coliseum a victory parade route last year. Never mind records, never mind postseason. That comes down to pride.
And forgetting outcomes, Steve Newman and the reinstated Levi Stukes will be honored during Senior Day festivities. Having worked with both guys the last few years, I can tell you firsthand they’re both good guys and have busted their rumps for the red and black during a pretty tough time. They deserve recognition.
Of course, I know I’ve got to fire up your opinion meters so let me just say I STILL think the SEC is going to get six teams in. I don’t how the league could have gone from being considered the toughest in the country this year to something below that just because the member teams are beating up on each other. If anything, it proves the contrary. But what the heck do I know, right?
