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!

CWS, Open make for awesome TV
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Was it just me or was Saturday night a sports enthusiasts’ TV-watching dream?
I was absolutely wearing out the “last” button on my remote control as I jumped back and forth between the U.S. Open and Georgia’s College World Series Game against Miami. Talk about great television. You couldn’t ask for more drama from a Britney Spears weekend in Vegas.
The best thing is I didn’t miss a critical moment of either event. I was able to watch Tiger limp his way through the back nine and the Bulldogs’ incredible four-run ninth inning with two outs. You know when Lyle Allen and David Thoms are your offensive heroes, something is going right.
Of course, we’ll all get a chance for another double dose today, with the U.S. Open playoff between Woods and Rocco Mediate set for a noon telecast on ESPN and 2 p.m. on ESPN. And the Dogs get Stanford tonight at 7 p.m. on ESPN2. Once again, David Perno’s team draws the prime time marquee matchup. Today may be the least productive day in the modern history of work.
Anyway, a little housekeeping to get out of the way. As most of y’all know Carter Strickland has left the newspaper to pursue private business ventures. Despite some criticism in this forum, Carter is a fantastic writer, a workhorse of a beat man and a good guy overall. I’m going to miss him and I believe y’all will, too.
Meanwhile, I’m at the point in the summer where I’m having to squeeze in a lot of my training (our paper requires many hours per year) and vacation. I’m off to the Gulf Coast next week.
So the blog updating may be a little sporadic for a few weeks. But I will get in here and update as much as possible, maybe even once or twice when I’m otherwise off. It will be up to you guys to keep it vibrant and relevant. And let’s stay away from the trash talk.
OK, time for me to knuckle down on some work (at least until noon).
