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’ season reaches fork in road
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We’re going to keep it real simple today, mainly because I’m heading out of town (Knoxville, of course) and I don’t have much time.
First off, who’s going to win this game Saturday and why? Now I’m not interested in any of that, “Georgia is great, Tennessee stinks” nonsense. I’m talking about Xs and Os and matchups and homefield advantage, etc.
As everybody knows, the Dogs have won in their last three trips to Rocky Top. Does that give Georgia a psychological advantage or does it motivate the Vols that much more?
I think the game boils down to two things in particular myself: Georgia’s running game versus the Vols’ suspect defense and Eric Ainge and Tennessee’s passing attack versus the Dogs’ inexperienced secondary and linebackers. I might give the Dogs a slight edge in special teams. But, all things considered, it appears a pretty even matchup. Last I heard was the line had moved from UT as a slight favorite to the Dogs as a slight favorite. Definitely a pick ‘em in my opinion.
Meanwhile, I was the guest on four different Tennessee radio shows this week and every one of them talked about how important this game is for Vols coach Phillip Fulmer. Not sure what AD Mike Hamilton is thinking on the subject but what about you? Should a coach that has won more than 75 percent of his games and a national championship be in position to lose his job?
OK, I’ve got my Verizon card with me so I’ll tune in and respond to your comments every chance I get. So let’s hear what you’re thinking.
On that note, I would like to personally thank all of you for slowly but surely turning this into one of the most popular online communities on our website. I appreciate the feedback on what we’re doing so, as always, you’re suggestions are welcomed.
Y’all play nice now. C-ya!
