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!

NFL beckons for Moreno, Stafford
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s a big day in the sportswriting biz. It’s Tuesday, game week, which means it’s time for us to get really busy.
Georgia has its weekly luncheon and news conference later this morning. Georgia Southern is doing the same thing down in Statesboro. The SEC begins its weekly coaches teleconference tomorrow.
In the next few days we’re going to be inundated with information and commentary and, likewise, we’re going to filter that all back out to you guys.
Coach Mark Richt is up on the podium (in auditorium inside Stegeman Coliseum) at noon. That will be followed by interviews with various players. I’ll provide a quick synopsis and update here shortly thereafter.
Practice follows this afternoon but, with the weather like it is, there is no telling right now when and where they might hold it. Maybe I’ll ask Richt about indoor practice facility he wants again.
All that said, let me know what it is you want to know heading into this first ballgame and I’ll do my best to find out.
Meanwhile, a couple of topics for discussion:
(1) I get asked all the time if I think Matthew Stafford and/or Knowshon Moreno will turn pro after this season. My simple answer is this: If Georgia lives up to most of the expectations that are out there for this season, yes, they probably will. If not, Stafford probably won’t. If Moreno has a big season individually, you can probably wave bye-bye. Am I off here?
(2) Ticket demand is so great this season that a big portion of Georgia student ticket distribution had to be split. That means many students got tickets to only three of the six games. I really hate that for these kids, the ones going to class with these guys and paying for tuition, books and lodging. Should they figure out a way to guarantee a ticket for all? Is that simply impossible?
(3) Let me know if you’re going to the game Saturday, watching it on pay-per-view, listening to Munson on the radio. Let me hear about any special plans you might have.
OK, like I said, all kinds of updates here all day so stay tuned.
NEWS CONFERENCE UPDATE COMING BELOW LATER!
