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!

Football season just around the corner
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well, it’s about two months until Georgia’s football season starts. To many of you that may seem like forever before it gets here. For me it’s like it’s just around the corner and there is a ton of work to be done between now and then.
Later this month the “preseason” officially gets started as I will be off to Birmingham, Ala., for SEC Football Media Days. That will be shortly followed by freshmen reporting, then the entire team, then daily practice.
I know there’s some whining for a little more daily football information here on the blog and from here forward I’ll be trying to drum up some for you. But, just so you know, we’re already well at work on football. Right now is the time of year that we’re gathering information and doing interviews, etc., for our preseason football special section and also planning out a lot of our preseason coverage.
Meanwhile, most of the Georgia football players are in Athens and in school and working out. There’s not a ton to report on that but I’ll be getting by there regularly to check in with players and coaches and see what’s going on.
On that note I ran into fullback Brannan Southerland late last week as he left the Butts-Mehre Building. He was still on crutches and sporting a patriotic red, white and blue cast on his surgically repaired left foot and leg. Southerland was actually coming from a rehab workout. Southerland’s recovery period at first was expected to last at least five games into the season but he told me he’d be surprised if it went as long as three games. He even said he’s shooting for the first game but it’s been my experience all athletes are optimistic that way and I’m sure the training staff will be very careful with Southerland, who already has created a lot of NFL draft buzz.
So there you go. There’s a little football fix to get you through your Monday. Like I said, I’ll be monitoring the team much more closely from here on. C-ya!
