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!

Fulmer again looks to Georgia for cure
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Phillip Fulmer is catching all kinds of heat in Knoxville. Again.
It seems like every other year at least the Tennessee nation is nipping at Fulmer’s heels. I thought it couldn’t get any worse than when I followed Georgia up there last year. Virtually every paper that covers the Vols and several dot-coms as well had columnists writing about why Fulmer ought to be fired.
To Fulmer’s credit, he and his staff used all that negative press as motivational fuel and they absolutely steamrolled the Bulldogs, 35-14. That has kind of been Fulmer’s M.O. in recent years. The Vols haven’t won an SEC championship since their national title year of 1998 but Fulmer seems to whip out a win over a higher-ranked Georgia team any time he needs one.
And boy does he need one now. The sniping has reached fever pitch as the Vols limp into Sanford Stadium with a 2-3 record. But they’ve definitely underachieved this season.
So you think Tennessee has what it takes to get well against the Dogs again this year?
One other thing: Tennessee is a class program, one of the most storied and successful in the SEC. But there is one thing I don’t like at all about the Vols. It’s those uniforms.
Saturday the Vols will be sporting their new road look which, in my opinion, is a slight improvement over the old one. But it’s all relative. They’ve reintroduced the old orange pants from the Johnny Majors days. That’s better than the old white-on-white they used to wear on the road. They looked like ice cream men in pads. And at least you can read the numbers and names now.
