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!

Another arrest, rain and Dooley’s statue
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Greetings folks. Hope everybody had a happy Thanksgiving. I’m still stuffed.
I’m actually enjoying a little off day today but I thought I’d start a new post in anticipation of Saturday’s game. This one will be a potpourri so as to squeeze everything in before Saturday’s noon kickoff for Georgia-Georgia Tech.
Until then, here are the most pertinent issues:
(1) I’m sure most of you guys saw that third-string center Kevin Perez was arrested for DUI in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Fitting way to finish the season. That was arrest No. 11 among for the Bulldogs since the Sugar Bowl last New Year’s. Some of those charges were dropped and all but one were alcohol-related misdemeanors. But there is absolutely no excuse for that many players to get in trouble with the law in one year. And there’s a month to go still!
(2) The Vince Dooley statue and athletic complex dedication is Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. I’ll be there. How about y’all? Anybody making a special effort to get to Athens to see that. And do you feel it’s an appropriate tribute? Does this mean they need not bother to add his name to Sanford Stadium or name the field for him?
(3) Most of you know I’ve been around Georgia athletics a long time and this is about as nervous and concerned I remember the Bulldogs’ fans being about a Georgia Tech game in a long time. Even when they lost those fumble-marred games in the late 1990s the fans were going into the games with a great deal of confidence. Not this year.
(4) According to this morning’s weather report it is a virtual certainty that it will rain at least a little on Saturday’s game (70 percent chance). If so, who does that favor, the option-oriented Tech team or the pass-happy Bulldogs? I’m inclined to believe that rainj actually favors a throwing team because the receivers know where they’re going on their pass routes while the DBs and linebackers have to react on a slippery field. But the same could be said for defending the option I guess.
(5) And finally, who’s gonna win, why and by what score?
I’ll check in when I can today and holler back sometime before kickoff tomorrow.
