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!

More dancing Dogs vs. Florida?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Well it’s here. Georgia-Florida week. I remember this game coming up in this forum way back in the summer. The talk then was of it being a monumental contest between two undefeateds fighting for the right to keep their national championship hopes alive.
Drop the “undefeated” and that’s still what you have.
While both teams have one (bad) loss, the ultimate accomplishment is still possible. The Bulldogs (7-1, 4-1) are sitting sixth in the latest BCS rankings released Sunday. Florida (6-1, 4-1) is sitting at eighth. The winner most certainly will become the highest-ranked one-loss team in America. As long as only one other team remains undefeated and Florida or Georgia defeats Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, it’s doubtful the SEC champion would be passed over.
So with that as a backdrop, I’m planning to do what I said I was going to last week. That is, give me your questions for Coach Mark Richt and the players. If I get a lot of the same suggestions I’ll actually take the most relevant ones to them and try to get some answers. I won’t have access until Tuesday but I’ll repost then.
Foremost on a lot of people’s minds I’m sure is Georgia’s celebration dance from last year’s game (or unsportsmanlike act, as the Gators prefer to call it). Not going to be able to get you any commentary on that as both coaches have issued a gag order to the players on it and refuse to answer themselves. Otherwise they’re just trying to avoid the issue.
“I think it’s old news,” Florida coach Meyer said. “I’m sure that old guy (Meyer) warned our players about it. It has nothing, no bearing whatsoever on this year’s game. It’s two teams battling for the SEC East and it has no bearing whatsoever.”
Said Richt: “That’s really, really old news and I’m not going to comment on it.” Then he referred everybody to the text of his statement about it from Media Days in late July.
So that’s about all there is about it right now. But I’m sure some stuff will seep out before the end of the week. These guys are young. I’m sure somebody will say something.
But seriously, let’s hear your thoughtful questions. In the meantime, feel free to comment, er, freely as you always do. I’ll be checking in all day.
