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!

Richt: ‘I’m ready for a playoff’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Mark Richt has become an outspoken advocate for a college football playoff. Listen to him from a couple of days ago:
“For the longest, I was like, ‘I like it the way it is. I’m fine with it.’ I’m not that way any more.
“I’m ready. I’m ready for a playoff. I’m ready for a four- or eight-team playoff.
“Having to live through last year and feeling like you’ve got to have this big filibuster or whatever you want to call it to go out there and try to convince people to vote for your team - I mean, it shouldn’t be that way in sports, especially in major-college football.
“And [there’s] the effect it has on the nation, which loves college football and probably deserves a better way of doing it.”
Richt went on to say that he senses sentiment shifting among coaches and even college presidents toward a playoff.
“It is a heavy political issue,” he acknowledged. “There are so many people who have to be on board to do it right, and all it takes is one or two that refuse and you have some serious obstacles.
“So will it happen? I do think at some time there will be at least a four-team playoff. My guess is that will be the next step. But it might go right to eight one day.”
Hear, hear!
Is Richt preaching to the choir here?
