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!

Dogs pile up yards despite line woes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Running a little short on time this morning so I’m going to be quick and to the point. I’m working on a story for tomorrow’s paper on Georgia’s offensive skill players, focusing primarily QB Matthew Stafford, TB Knowshon Moreno and wide receivers A.J. Green and Mohamed Massaquoi.
In these four players I think the Bulldogs have arguably one of the best multi-threat offenses around (yes, Florida’s are pretty good, too). Never mind how bad Georgia’s defense played against Kentucky. What the Dogs did on offense, against what is a very formidable Kentucky defense, was pretty incredible. They piled up 520 yards and scored on the Wildcats almost on command.
Coach Mark Richt was talking Sunday about how the offensive line “is blocking some” but that Georgia is getting some fairly amazing play from its skill guys and that’s why the Bulldogs are leading the SEC in total offense and passing offense. They’re doing this behind an offensive line made up of three freshmen and two sophomores and missing three starters due to injuries. Imagine what kind of numbers they might be putting up behind a veteran, experienced O-line. Methinks Texas Tech-like.
So what do you think? Fantastic job by O-line coach Stacey Searels? Great play-calling by Mike Bobo? Who would you say deserves offensive MVP for the Dogs so far — Stafford, Moreno, Massaquoi or Green?
In the meantime, here’s some links:
Apparently Auburn’s Rod Smith was none too happy about Georgia’s players dancing to Soulja Boy toward the end of last year’s blackout game in Athens. Read about it here at the bottom of David Hale’s notebook in the Macon paper… . Speaking of Hale, he talked to a bunch of players yesterday about the Bulldogs’ defensive breakdowns and wrote about it in his Bulldogs Blog… .
We’re going to get into Auburn’s story later this week but, in the meantime, here’s what the Athens Banner-Herald on the Tigers’ season to forget… .
Here’s something on Auburn QB Kodi Burns in the Chattanooga paper… .
While Georgia was struggling against Kentucky with its worst overall special teams performance of the season, Auburn’s Tristan Davis was returning his second kickoff for a TD this season)… .
Not sure how many of you guys caught this an Auburn associate AD died of a heart attack shortly after this past Saturday’s game against Tennessee-Martin. Here’s a few more details about 46-year-old Virgil Starks… .
This is a fun little feature that Birmingham’s Doug Segrest puts together every week in which he grades each SEC team on it overall performance the previous weekend. What do you think he gave the Bulldogs against Kentucky? …
