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!

Does the punishment fit the crime?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Another Georgia player is in trouble. No big surprise. This time it is Tripp Taylor, a walk-on who had turned himself into a contributor for Georgia. Taylor allegedly was involved in a fight at a lake in May. Now depending on who you talk to, Taylor tried to break up the thing. Others say there may have been more than just Taylor involved. The police are sorting out the details.
So Taylor will most likely be suspended for at least the first game. Not a huge deal because he was a backup defensive tackle. But Georgia does rotate its tackles a ton. What is a bigger deal is that Taylor adds to the list of guys who will not play against Oklahoma State. Tripp Chandler and Ian Smith, two other players who will be key contributors this season, will also be suspended that first game.
Oklahoma State does have four newcomers on its defensive line. But still losing a tight end and an offensive lineman is never good.
Mark Richt’s hands are pretty much tied when it comes to the punishments of these players. Athletic department policy dictates most of the suspensions. So, the question is: Are the policies too harsh, too soft, or just right?
