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, Jackets, AJC converge on Tulsa
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Greetings from Tulsa, Oklahoma. What am I doing here, you ask? I’m here to cover the NCAA Tennis Championships. I’m interested in hearing what y’all think about that.
There’s no question the AJC needs to be here chronicling this event. After all three teams from the two state universities we cover the most are represented here. The defending national champion men’s team from Georgia is here. The Bulldogs are seeded fourth this season but, by all accounts, have a reasonable chance to repeat as national champs. The Georgia women, who have won two of these things, are here as well. They’re seeded No. 2 so, obviously, they could win another title. Then there is the Georgia Tech women. The Yellow Jackets are defending national champions — they won the program’s first title at UGA last year — and also won the national indoors earlier this season. So obviously they are very good, too.
That said, we know college tennis doesn’t necessarily generate great interest and/or readership. But this is an example of how we don’t always base our coverage decisions on what people want to read most. We also have to consider the athletic achievements of the teams we cover on a regular basis.
So here I am in Tulsa, a place I’d never been to and never expected to visit. Please tell me somebody will be reading the copy I’ll be producing out here over the next week (something on the Tech-Georgia tennis rivalry coming a little later today). And I’ll offer another shout-out to Tulsadawg, one of the blog’s regular visitors, to tell me once again where I should be going and what I should be doing during my down time (which won’t be much).
Meanwhile, I’ll understand if the blog morphs into a discussion of Georgia’s strength and weaknesses on defense this season or more debate on the Dogs’ baseball program compared to Tech’s. They certainly put on a good show at The Ted last night.
I’ll be checking in regularly. Until then, so long from Tulsa!
