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!

Brown (not that one) suspended; 2-a-days end
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Another 100-plus-degree day, two-a-days are winding down and another Georgia player is suspended.
That’s right, the Bulldogs have suspended cornerback Ramarcus Brown for the first two games. We don’t have any details yet — just the old violation of team rules thing — and we may not get them because coach Mark Richt and his staff like to keep such things a secret. Two games could be anything from a second failed drug test or a violation of class attendance or tutoring rules or an arrest or something. For what it’s worth, we haven’t uncovered any instances of law-breaking or the like. We’ll let you know if and when we find out.
Even though Brown was running third string on defense, the Dogs will feel his loss. He’s one of the team’s fastest players and a major contributor on special teams.
For those keeping count, that’s three players the Dogs won’t have for the season opener against Oklahoma State, not including Akeem Hebron, who’s gone for the season, and Ian Smith, who quit football.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs this morning had their traditional “Cuttin’ of the Watermelon” to signify the end of two-a-days. Of course, two-a-days don’t actually end until after practice late this afternoon, but I guess late morning at Sanford Stadium made for a better photo op.
Our photographer Brant Sanderlin was there to chronicle the moment (reporters were banned from the morning workout) and reported some funkyk hairdos. Seems that the upperclassmen got hold of the rookies with their shears and razors some time before the practice. As a result, Tanner Strickland has something resembling a bunny tail on the back of his head and walk-on lineman has something even worse, if you could imagine. Expect them all to be Mr. Clean shaven by Fans Picture Day on Saturday.
Stay tuned for more updates later. As always, thanks for hanging out.
