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!

How to handle Hebron’s off-field troubles?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well, as you’ve all probably gathered by now, Georgia linebacker Akeem Hebron was arrested again Thursday night. He was charged with underage possession of alcohol for the second time in a little over two months. Hebron, 18, was booked in Athens-Clarke County jail at 12:30 a.m. Friday morning and released on $500 bond at 1:18 a.m .
Hebron was, of course, already suspended for the first two games of 2007 because of the previous arrest. As of this hour, coach Mark Richt has not announced what his punishment will be though I suspect we’ll find out about before day’s end. There is a recent precedent. Ian Smith was arrested twice for drinking-related offenses last fall — including underage possession — and he was suspended for the first six games of this coming season.
Hebron is, of course, one heck of a player. Had he not had all these off-field problems, he’d probably be in the mix to start and certainly play extensively at the outside linebacker spot. When he came out of Good Counsel High School in Gaithersburg, Md., Hebron was All-USA and Parade Magazine first-team All-American and ranked the No. 5 linebacker in the nation by Scout. Redshirted last year, he’s shown a lot of promise in Georgia’s practices.
So let’s hear from the Bulldog Nation. Would six games be too harsh? Is it not enough? Are Hebron’s arrests a reflection of Richt and the Georgia football program or just a young kid screwing up? How do you think not having Hebron available the first half of the season might impact the Bulldogs?
