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!

Long odds on Dogs winning title
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Time to clear out the notebook and see what we can find… .
Do you think Georgia has a chance to win the national championship this season? If you do, you have a chance to make some money in Las Vegas.
According to sportsbetting.com, the odds of the Bulldogs winning the national title are 35 to 1. That’s the fourth best odds among SEC schools. Florida leads at 7 to 1, followed by LSU (10-1) and Arkansas (30-1). Behind Georgia are Auburn and Tennessee (60-1), Alabama (75-1) and South Carolina (100-1). The favorite is Southern Cal at 5-2.
In light of the latest alcohol-related arrests at Georgia, we have need to pause a moment to keep this in perspective. Defending national champion Florida had its sixth and seventh arrests since its bowl victory recently and the Gators’ problems are a lot more serious than underage consumption. Their last two players were arrested for felony possession and there have been gun charges and other such serious incidents in recent weeks.
Interviewed NaDerris “Duke” Ward this morning. The highly-touted tight end from Oakland suddenly finds himself in the spotlight after the recent arrest of Tripp Chandler. Writing a story on him for Sunday’s paper. All I’ll say is he’s a super polite and impressively humble young man.
Word is that Georgia’s tight end woes might not be a major issue this fall. The Bulldogs are set run more three and four wide receiver sets anyway with the improvement of the wideouts and, of course, Matthew Stafford under center.
Georgia’s national championship tennis team heads to the White House to meet President George Bush on Monday. John Isner makes his pro debut a week later.
