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!

Dogs seeking major opponent
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Those of you that heard Damon Evans and Mark Richt at the Greater Atlanta Bulldog Club meeting last night — and perhaps some of you who didn’t — no doubt picked up on their messages that Georgia continues to seek a big-time opponent for a home-and-home the 2011-2012 seasons, perhaps even more significant than Oklahoma State, Arizona State or Colorado.
For a while this summer, it had been rumored that opponent would be Michigan, which had not renewed its series with Notre Dame for those seasons. So I was all prepared to float that rumor here today and see what y’all thought about it. Fortunately I checked first and, as it turns out, Michigan announced today that it has booked the Irish for those two seasons. Bummer. I’ve always been partial to renewing that game since it played such a big part in Georgia’s history (remember Dooley’s Dawgs over the Wolverines in Ann Arbor in 1965?).
So, the Bulldogs’ search continues. So let’s pretend we’re Arthur Johnson, the associate AD that handles scheduling for Evans and Richt, and we’re charged with coming up with a marquee opponent for a home-and-home those two years. Who would you like it to be and why?
I’ll get us started: How about Texas? You know, it’s still 10 to 9 out there.
Meanwhile, those of you ticket hounds still searching for some ducats, this just came out of UGA sports info: A limited number of single-game Georgia football tickets are still available for upcoming home dates against Oklahoma State (Sept. 1) and Kentucky (Nov. 17). Beginning Wednesday at 8 a.m., these remaining tickets can be purchased online www.georgiadogs.com or by calling the ticket office toll free 1-877-542-1231. There is no limit per order. Tickets are $40 each plus a processing fee and orders will be mailed out beginning August 20.
