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!

Hammer comes down on Hebron
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hey guys. Sorry just getting around to blogging today. It’s been a full day already. I had to turn in a story this morning on Georgia women’s golfer Taylor Leon and now I’m actually on my way to St. Simons Island and the Georgia Athletic Association’s board of directors meeting. Couldn’t get a good enough signal to send until now. So that’s that.
Hopefully you’ll read the story but, just to summarize, she’s a pretty special player, she’s leading the No. 3-ranked Dogs into the NCAA Central Regional, which starts tomorrow, and, though only a sophomore, she’s turning pro after the season. She has all kinds of endorsements and such waiting for her once she’s pro.
But that’s probaby not the women’s golf story you guys are interested in. Like a lot of other people, you probably want to know what happened to coach Todd McCorkle, who abruptly resigned Monday, a day before his team was supposed to leave town. Well, I’m wondering, too. And, frankly, I’m pretty confident I know what happened. The problem is, nobody at Georgia or anybody who is involved will go on record to confirm it. So, we’re left to let it run through UGA’s legal channels before our Freedom of Information requests are honored and we can report it. That’s how it goes in this business sometimes. But stay tuned. We’re on it and it’s just a matter of time before the truth is revealed.
In the meantime, this is a public forum. Feel free to talk about McCorkle or anything else you want. I’m sure there are some strong opinions regarding Akeem Hebron’s recent suspension by the University. I’m hearing he’ll almost certainly return to Georgia after a short stint in junior college. For what it’s worth, I had one of the Bulldogs’ coaches tell me that Hebron is indeed a special player.
I’ll try to provide some updates and respond to questions after I finally arrive at my hotel on St. Simons. Later!
