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!

Men’s tennis, golf leads spring charge
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Hey guys and gals. Still in Tulsa. Wasn’t sure how long I’d be here but, thanks to the Georgia men’s tennis team, we’re going on a week.
The way we planned the trip was for me to leave if and when all three of the teams we cover were eliminated. Odds were pretty good I’d be around as those were the defending national champion Georgia Tech women, the defending national champion Georgia men and the No. 2-ranked Georgia women.
As it turns out, only the Georgia men are still alive and it will be one heck of a feat if they can remain that way after tonight. The Bulldogs draw the No. 1-ranked and undefeated Cavaliers of Virginia in the national semifinals. They’re scheduled to start at 6 p.m. EST if you want to follow it online by clicking here.
If Georgia wins, it’ll play in the championship match on Tuesday. If it loses, I’m outta here tomorrow and heading home to the fam, which I miss very much.
As for the travel log, last night I ate at El Guapo’s Mexican Cantina downtown on First Street. Food was OK but the magaritas were great.
Meanwhile, all of Georgia’s spring sports seem to be doing very well. Did you guys catch the men’s golf team’s 20-stroke win at the NCAA East Regional. Incredible. The baseball team lost its focus a little in the final series against Alabama but resumes play in the SEC tournament later this week. The softball team is in the NCAA Super Regionals but faces UCLA, which seems to knock them out every year. And the Dogs had Justin Gaymon, a junior from Stewartsville, N.J., clock the third-fastest time in the world to win the 400-meter hurdles.
I’d talk about football but haven’t been around it lately. I’ll make sure to get over and check in it when I get back to Athens. If it’s up to Manny Diaz, that’ll be Wednesday at the earliest.
C-ya.
