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!

They whipped them

Well there you have it. The black-clad Bulldogs just beat Auburn. Check that, they whipped the Tigers’ butts. Not the whole game, mind you, but when it mattered most. I definitely thought Georgia could win this game but I never dreamed of a final score such as 45-20.

Was it the “Blackout” that did it? Doubtful. As we had into the homestretch of the season, the Dogs are doing it with offense. Saturday represented their third consecutive game in which they scored 40 or more points. To put that into perspective, that hasn’t happened since 1942.

Oh, yeah, and it’s the first time since 1982 Georgia has beaten Florida and Auburn in the same season.

And, it should be pointed out, this came against an Auburn team whose defense came into the game ranked No. 5 in the nation in scoring defense (14.5 ppg). Knowshon Moreno went over 100 yards again — 22 for 101 at last count. That makes him the first Georgia back since Verron Haynes in 2001 to go over the century mark in four straight games.

So what do you think? Are they ready for Kentucky? Is the SEC Championship possible? Are the Bulldogs’ BCS bound?

We’ll see soon enough.
