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!

Auburn has Dogs right where it wants
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On the surface, Auburn doesn’t have much going for it heading into the Georgia game. If there is one clear advantage the Tigers might have it’s desperation. Think about it. They have to beat either a Georgia team with the best offense in the SEC or undefeated Alabama squad just to become bowl eligible.
Then again, considering the wacky history of this storied series, it’s set up perfect for an Auburn victory. Traditionally this is a heart-stomping series. Whoever had the most to lose usually does. Only thing working against the Tigers is they’re at home. That never seems to bode well in this series.
Personally, Auburn-Georgia is one of my favorite of the Bulldogs’ many rivalries. The two programs are almost like a couple of feuding cousins and the closeness of the games is uncannny. In 111 meetings, Auburn leads the series 53-50-8 and Georgia has outscored the Tigers 1,730-1,685. So I guess you could say the Dogs win by little more when they win.
Then, of course, there’s the strange home-road aspect of the series. Georgia leads 13-9-2 at Jordan-Hare Stadium and Auburn leads 18-10 at Sanford Stadium. For 39 years they played in Columbus.
Auburn’s unranked, Georgia’s ranked No. 10. Everything’s setting up for the Tigers, right?
