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!

Tech’s win should get Dogs’ attention
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Come on now, Georgia fans, you’ve got to admit it — that was an impressive performance by Georgia Tech against Miami last night. Four hundred seventy-two yards rushing, are you kidding me? Two gift TDs for the Hurricanes there at the end, too. In reality it was more like a 48-9 game than 41-23.
Just because of the intensity with which we have to cover our own beats and conflicts with the Yellow Jackets’ games on Saturdays, I hadn’t gotten to see a lot of Tech this season. Just bits and pieces here and there throughout the season and highlights on the local and national news. And, of course, I’ve read most everything our Tech writers have reported this year.
But that was the first time I was able to sit down, prop my feet up and take in one of their games. I didn’t watch every minute but I saw enough to see what I needed to see. They’re the real deal.
I told people around Athens at the outset of the season that Paul Johnson’s triple option was going to be a beast by the time these rivals met at the end of the season and that was without expecting Tech to arrive in Athens at 8-3. But they’re very good on defense as well, though I think the Bulldogs are going to bring considerably more to the table offensively that “The U” did.
From what I saw we should have the makings of one of the better Georgia-Georgia Tech matchups that we’ve seen in a while. What about those of you in the Bulldog Nation? Impressed with what you saw out of the Jackets? More fearful than before or are you still confident Georgia can stretch the streak to eight games?
