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!

Any chance Dogs drop another game?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sorry guys, but I dropped the ball this week on arranging a Q&A with the opposing team’s beat writer. I could tell you what I think my colleague Chip Crosby of the Lexington Herald-Leader would have said about Kentucky, but that probably wouldn’t have been real fair to him. Besides, basketball season is about to start up there and we would have probably gotten a scouting report on Billy Gillispie’s ‘Cats anyway.
It’s a typical busy Friday as I’m having to wrap up my weekly work and family duties and trying to get to the airport to hop a plane to Lexington. So we’re going to keep it real simple here today. The Bulldogs have regular-season games remaining against Kentucky on Saturday and Auburn and Georgia Tech after that. Let’s hear how you think they’ll do in those games, what record they’ll finish with and what bowl you think they’ll end up in.
Which game do you think will be most problematic? Based on what I’ve seen lately, they all look tough to me but I’m looking forward to another very competitive Tech-Georgia game. Should the Bulldogs drop another game would you consider it a disastrous year? Has it been a disaster already? Or is it just the modern-day life of college football?
By the way, coach Dennis Felton’s Hoops Dogs take the court tonight at Stegeman Coliseum with an exhibition game against Albany State. What’s the level of anticipation for the defending SEC Tournament champion Bulldogs. Unfortunately, because I’m traveling I won’t get to see them. But I’m really looking forward to seeing freshman power forward Trey Thompkins in action. He’s injured right now (ankle) and won’t play tonight, but there is a ton of buzz on the team about how good he is and what he could possibly bring to the team.
OK, I’m off to Bluegrass Country. I’ll check in as often as I can between here and there and definitely after I arrive, God willing.

Just in case anybody is wondering, it will cost $6 million for Auburn to force out coach Tommy Tuberville. Of course, that didn’t stop Tennessee.
