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!

Living on Tulsa time
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Greetings from Tulsa once again. I’m at the $15 million Michael D. Case Tennis Center watching the defending national champion Georgia men’s team put a hurting on Pepperdine in the round of 16.
The Bulldogs smoked them for the doubles point, winning 8-1 and 8-2 at Nos. 1 and 2, respectively. Then, after stumbling a little out of the gate in singles, regained their footing and are rolling now. At this minute they’ve won five first sets so it’s just a matter of time before they clinch it 4-0.
Now, on to the town of Tulsa. Thanks again for the many suggestions of where to go and what to do. I still haven’t been able to go out to dinner yet, per se, but I did get to sample a little of the nightlife last night. Make that late-night, nightlife because I didn’t get out of the tennis complex until 11:30 local time.
I met a couple of Georgia sports information guys at a place they chose down on Cherry Street, the “Gray Snail Saloon.” It was a great place if you’re in your 20s and I’m not. So after standing in front of the bar for 15 minutes with my ribs rattling to hip-hop holding up a twenty for the bartender to please get me a beer only to see him walk away to get straws to fill the dispenser then come back and serve the young lady behind me and to my right, I decided to leave. Never did get that beer.
I proceeded to a place called “Buckaneers” Tulsadog recommended as “a great dive” not too far away on Harvard Avenue. It definitely was a dive and was filled with some interesting characters. It was karaoke night, as it turns out, and a couple of ladies did their own version of Coyote Ugly on the bar. I finally got my beer but I didn’t stay long as the loud, bad singing and the smoke was getting the best of me. Yes, they smoke inside the bars here.
So, anyway, with any luck I’ll get done in time tonight to try one of your many dinner recommendations. So stay tuned. I know this is riveting stuff!
Dogs are about to clinch so I’ll check in later.
