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!

Seeing game from different angle
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Greetings from Bogart, Ga.! That’s right. I’m not Tuscaloosa. I’ve been grounded. Well, actually I was ordered to stay home in bed this weekend. I started to get a cold last weekend and it kept getting worse to the point I could not this past Wednesday. Went to see my doctor and he was afraid I might have pneumonia. Tests and x-rays were negative but he did determine I had bronchitis. He prescribed drugs, rest and, that’s right, no driving to Tuscaloosa this weekend.
Just the fact I’m chiming in here today should let you know I’m feeling markedly better, thank you. In a way I feel like I’ve landed on another planet or something (and it’s not the drugs, I promise). This is the first college football Saturday I haven’t been working since 1997 and you have to go back to 1988 before that. So it’s a bid odd.
Obviously I’d rather be in Alabama where the action is tonight but it has been somewhat refreshing and enlightening to sit (or in my case, lay) at home and watch all the games on television. Usually, we just get occasionally glances at the television throughout the day when we’re wroking a game. And in the case of a prime-time night game, we really see almost nothing of the telecast, except for the occasional instant replay. And because of deadlines and everything we have to write, we probably don’t get to watch games as close as many of you at home late in the second half as we feverishly try to pound out our copy for you. Hopefully it all makes sense by the time it reaches your doorstep — or your laptop.
Anyway, I decided I felt good enough to maybe throw together a blog here tonight and keep it going throughout the game (that is, if anybody out there peers in and see there’s something going on). I’m gonna try to listen to Scott Howard call the game some, too. So we can weigh in about that as the night goes on.
If it all gets to be too much, I’ll let you know and gracefully bow out. But you guys stuck at home like me stay with it and we’ll carry this thing on into Monday morrning. Hopefully I’ll be back to feeling like myself by then.
OK. Florida wins, LSU wins. What about your Dogs?
