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!

All signs point to close Georgia win
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well, there’s not much left to say about Saturday’s game between No. 2 Georgia and South Carolina other than “something has to give.” Georgia leads the SEC in scoring (50.5 ppg) and offense (543.5 ypg). The Gamecocks lead the SEC in total defense (181.5 ypg) and pass defense (69.5).
I’ve been going over to Williams-Brice Stadium for years and have seen all kinds of wild things there. My first trip ever was the time Georgia’s James Jackson dropped the ball on the turf on the game’s last playing thinking the game had ended while it was still a live ball. Then David Pollack makes the sack-and-swipe touchdown at 2002 that required seeing a slow-motion replay on television to tell what happened. Last time the Bulldogs were over there quarterbak Joe Tereshinski gets hurt on like the first series and true freshman Matt Stafford ends up playing and throwing three interceptions. Somehow the Dogs pulled out an 18-0 win.
So I expect it to be wild and wacky because it usually is. Georgia would appear to be the much better team but that’s usually the case and it never usually works out that way. So I’m thinking the Dogs by less than a touchdown in a fairly low-scoring game.
But that’s just me. Let’s hear your predictions.
Here’s some other stuff from around the league… .
S.C. beat guys pick Dogs
Nothing really unusual about that. But Joe Person and Seth Emerson are good friends and I had to give them a hard time about their video preview of Saturday’s game. So enjoy.
Security issues for star players
It hasn’t happened yet to Knowshon Moreno or Matthew Stafford, but it seems just a matter of time before opposing fans bomdard their cell phones with nasty text messages — or do something worse. Apparently that’s the new trend in college sports. Florida’s Tim Tebow has had it happen more than once and now requires extra security. Even South Florida’s Matt Grothe has had similar issues. Price of fame I guess.
Tigers settle on quarterback
Chris Todd’s performance for Auburn this past weekend pretty much closed the book on the quarterback competition with Kodi Burns but coach Tommy Tuberville explains how both could still play in Saturday’s game against Mississippi State.
How to win your next argument
