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!

Spurrier: We’ve got to start beating UGA
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m still in Columbia at the moment. Just got through listening to Steve Spurrier and talking to a few South Carolina players at the Gamecocks’ weekly press conference. I’ll be heading down I-20 shortly and hopefully get to Athens in time to catch the Dogs’ afternoon practice.
Spurrier was his usual Spurrier self. That is, a lot of sarcasm and quick wit. The difference in him today and years past is his barbs are mostly directed at his own team. He has experienced a kind of role reversal in his three years here at South Carolina. There was hardly anything he or Florida could do to lose to Georgia during his years in Gainesville and the Gamecocks have been unable to get by the Bulldogs. They’ve lost five in a row, including the last two under Spurrier. He knows he has to change that.
So far, Spurrier has managed to beat Florida and Tennessee. But he hasn’t been able to get over the hump that is Georgia.
“That is right, isn’t it?” he said Tuesday. “They’re in our division. Certainly, it’s a crucial game, but no more particularly than any of the other losses we’ve had. But if we’re going to start competing for the division, we’ve got to start beating them some day. Hopefully it’ll be this year. If it’s not, then we’ll try to do it next year.”
Lee Corso famously said recently that South Carolina couldn’t win the SEC “in 400 years” with Spurrier as coach or not, or something along those lines. What do y’all think? Do the Gamecocks have what it takes yet? Will they ever? Will Spurrier get it done eventually?
And what about Georgia this year? Any reason to think they won’t handle the Gamecocks on Saturday in Athens?
