UGAUGA

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!

If not Dogs, then who in East?

Coach Mark Richt said Tuesday, “we’re not talking about the SEC race anymore. All we’re thinking about is beating Vanderbilt.” That is an understandable proclamation since winning the SEC East is next to impossible at this point.

No, South Carolina and Florida have the best chances of winning the division, followed by Tennessee and Kentucky. This is, of course, my opinion since there are still so many games to be played and so many scenarios to play out.

My question today is this: If not Georgia, then which team would you rather see represent the East in the SEC Championship Game? I know, I know, for many of you it’s like picking a way to die. But it makes for an interesting dilemma for the die-hard Dawg fan.

Would you rather see Steve Spurrier - aka “the Evil Genius” - lead South Carolina to its first division title? Or does it concern you what effect that might have on UGA’s overall program health? And we all know how much Georgia fans despise Florida. But would you rather see the already-established Gators return to the Georgia Dome than seeing another program get a lift from playing for the championship? Of course, a Dogs’ win in Jacksonville would most assuredly knock out Florida from contention.

Would it make you feel better about getting blown out by Tennessee if the Vols were to run the table and return to Atlanta? Or would lowly Kentucky finally getting something to roar about be easier to stomach?

Quite a quandary isn’t it? Now we all know that it is still a mathematical possibility for the Bulldogs to make it. But they’d have to run the table and get some help from South Carolina and Tennessee opponents along the way. Seen anything to make you think that might happen?
