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!

Barking picks up in tennis final

All right, I’m not really sure how much blogging may be going on during Georgia’s NCAA Championship match against Texas — which is set to start a little after 7 p.m. EST here in Tulsa but may get started late due to women’s match — but I figured I’d file a new entry so those of you that care to converse can as the match commences. I’ll try to update you with details if and when I can but I’ll be under a bear of a deadline tonight so don’t know what I’ll be able to do.

Anyway, the electricity has definitely turned up a notch. The legendary Dan Magill flew in today, as did Georgia AD Damon Evans and most of the senior staff. ESPN’s mighty broadcast trucks have pulled in and taken over the main walk into the stadium and pointed their giant satellite dish toward the stars and brought in giant banks of lights for the back courst. The women’s match is ongoing but a steady stream of patrons is starting to file in for the marquee men’s match this evening. You know the participants must have the hairs on the back of their necks standing up.

Like I said, blog away and I’ll check in when I can with some insights you might not be able to find otherwise.
