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 tidbits heading into weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Couple more football notes heading into the weekend… .
Talked to Brannan Southerland yesterday. He said he will get the the cast taken off his left leg on Monday. Recovery going real well… .
Players you can plan on reading something about in the coming week: Jeff Owens, Quentin Banks, Tripp Chandler… .
I know some poo-pooed the tribute garden Georgia decided on to honor Vince Dooley for being too little and not at the stadium. But construction is well underway and, from the sight of the giant cranes on the site, it is going to be anything but a modest display… .
I tried to give you guys a story on the new EA Sports NCAA 2009 video game, which features Georgia as the No. 1-ranked team. But the Bulldogs’ compliance office decided it might be against NCAA rules regarding endorsement for any of their players to answer questions about. Anyway, the student newspaper The Red and Black managed to ask a couple of players about it before NCAA censorship could get in the way and, of course, a lot of the players play it and like. The game is slightly flawed, however, as notably pointed out by The R&B’s Jason Butt, who played it. It doesn’t have Rennie Curran as a starting linebacker (Akeem Dent instead) and it gives quarterback Logan Gray a 70 score for mobility, which is BELOW Matthew Stafford… .
Here are some of the former Dogs set to be at UGA’s Countdown to Kickoff Saturday: Thomas Brown (Atlanta Falcons), Kregg Lumpkin (Green Bay Packers), Brandon Miller (Atlanta Falcons), Jon Stinchcomb (New Orleans Saints), Scott Woerner (1980 Nat’l Championship Team, “Woerner the Returner”), Robert Edwards (New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins), Randall Godfrey (Washington Redskins), David Jacobs, Matt Stinchcomb (Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders), David Greene (Kansas City Chiefs), Steven Herndon (Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons), Tony Taylor (Atlanta Falcons), Dennis Roland (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Tony Gilbert (Jax Jaguars), Orantes Grant, JT Wall (Pittsburgh Steelers), Martrez Milner (Atlanta Falcons), DeMario Minter (Arizona Cardinals), Kedrick Golston (Washington Redskins), George Foster (Detroit Lions), Charles Grant (New Orleans Saints), Brandon Coutu (Seattle Seahawks), Frank Ros (capt. nat’l champ team), Bill Stanfill (miami dolphins undefeated team Outland Trophy winner).
