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!

Bama win good or bad for Dogs?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What a great night for college football. Never mind your allegiances. Never mind who you were rooting for, there were some great games being played Saturday night.
Georgia’s wasn’t necessarily one of them. The Bulldogs did what they had to do against Western Carolina, which was basically to win without expending too much effort. And, for the most part, they were able to do that. Worse thing I saw about it was the sprained ankle of defensive lineman Corvey Irvin. That and they didn’t exactly bowl over the Catamounts early on. But OK given all the circumstances.
I wanted to see what happened with the Arkansas-Alabama game before I weighed in here. I was really eager to see how the Crimson Tide, under new coach Nick Saban, would handle Arkansas, which I expect to be a pretty darn good team this year.
In case you missed it, Alabama pulled out a 41-38 win with a TD pass in the final seconds. After Georgia’s win, head coach Mark Richt was asked what kind of outcome he hoped for. He said he merely hoped the Crimson Tide would have to put forth a great effort. They did indeed.
As exciting as that game was, I didn’t come away too overly impressed with either defense. I was pretty impressed with both offenses but the defenses were way too soft, in my opinion.
So what do you think? Was it a good or bad thing for Georgia that Bama pulled out that win? Would you have preferred to catch the Tide after a loss, where they’re questioning the new regime, or after a win, where they’re perhaps overconfident?
And how ‘bout them Dawgs?! They certainly have a lot of issues. That was evident even in victory. O-line and linebackers continue to be areas of concern. What has to happen to get by Saban and the Tide in Tuscaloosa?
