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!

‘Tough grind’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Someone asked Mark Richt on his Sunday evening teleconference what one word he would choose to describe this Georgia season to date.
Richt struggled to reduce it to one.
“I’ll say - I don’t even know what I could say other than it’s been a tough grind,” he said.
“Most seasons are, really and truly,” he added.
He went on to speak of Georgia’s 9-2 record in the context of an inordinate number of injuries and recent stretch of four consecutive games away from Athens:
“I was hoping we’d be a team that would be resilient and would persevere and do what it takes to win,” Richt said. “It was a tough stretch. Of course, we didn’t win them all. But we won three out of four, and after having a tough loss [to Florida], we played two extremely emotional games after that and we hung in there and we finished.
“I think once you lose the opportunity to play for the SEC championship, it could make a lot of guys say, ‘Is it really worth it?,’ that kind of thing. But our guys kept fighting because they care and are high-character guys and our leaders kept leading and our coaches kept banging away. It was very good to see that our guys were as tight knit as I really thought they were.”
Anyway, back to the original question, which was asked by Anthony Dasher: What one word would YOU choose to describe this Georgia season?
