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!

Final Four frenzy
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Greetings from Hoopsville, folks. I have been covered up in Final Four assignments the past couple of days and will be through the weekend. I’m part of the “Atlanta team” in the days leading up to Saturday’s semfinals. That means I’m generating stories from this end while our other writers, who were out covering the regionals, report from the respective campuses of the four teams: Florida, Georgetown, Ohio State and UCLA. I’m also assigned to Georgetown but cover the Hoyas from this end of things.
The Final Four is a lot of work but also a lot of fun when it’s in your city. Wondering how you Georgia folks feel about it. Is it something you are keenly following or taking only a token interest in? Certainly those of you with brackets in the office pool will pay close attention. I had three of the four teams in my bracket and I got robbed on my fourth one making it — Texas A&M. The person working the clock must have been a Longhorn.
Don’t know if you guys notice these kinds of things, but the coverage of the Final Four you are getting by our newspaper is some of the best that’s ever been done — and that includes 2002, when I was actually working as college editor and coordinating our coverage. Jeff D’Alessio is our colleges editor now and he is a special one. Put it this way, if he were a player, he’d be an All-American. So kick back and relax and try to soak in all the coverage we’ll be providing this week.
Now who all out there is planning to go to the games? If you don’t have tickets, will you still be coming downtown? They have all kinds of activities planned for Centennial Olympic Park and the areas around the Georgia Dome, CNN Center and Philips Arena. And how ‘bout it Dawg fans? You going to be rooting for the SEC team in this shin-dig?
