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!

Football in March
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ah, yes. The skies are blue, the birds are chirping, the daffodils are blooming and the air is beginning to warm. Must be time for …
Football?
That’s right. The Georgia Bulldogs jogged onto Woodruff Practice Fields Monday afternoon. Good thing there’s six months until the season starts because they’ve got a lot of things to work out between now and then.
I’m going to rank them in importance. Now this is my opinion, and yours may be different (who are we kidding, it almost certainly will be), so I expect to hear what you’re thinking is:
1: Establish a starting five on the line.
Georgia’s in decent shape across the middle with Chester Adams, Fernando Velasco and Seth Watts but the real question is at the all-important tackle spots.
Redshirt freshman Josh Davis will likely man one spot but do the Dogs may play Velasco outside or have to depend on first-year guys such as Vince Vance, Trinton Sturdivant or Justin Anderson.
2: Linebackers: Brandon Miller specifically.
It’s a huge spring for the former SuperPrep All-American, who’s making a late and unusual move to middle linebacker. The Dogs badly need him to perform. They certainly haven’t gotten out of Miller what they expected when they inked the former AJC Super 11.
3: Find some D-ends.
Actually they’ve got them but it remains a question if Rod Battle, Marcus Howard or Jeremy Lomax can live up to their predecessors.
The rest of the spring is a matter of repetition and throwing, catching and running, in my opinion. Matt Stafford must continue to work on his timing and touch with his receivers, the Dogs are set at running back despite all the whining people do about it and I think their secondary can be a real strength this season.
Punting duties is the only real question mark and that won’t be resolved until Drew Butler joins the competition with Brian Mimbs in August.
Am I wrong?
