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!

Looking at Dogs’ glass as half full
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Greetings from the lobby of the J.W. Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes, and a nice lobby it is. I haven’t seen so much marble since my last trip to Washington D.C.
I’m waiting on Tim Tucker to come down so we can ride over to Georgia’s practice this morning at Olympia High. There will be a press conference later today and I have a lot of interviews to get in order to write tomorrow’s story. Trouble with getting two weeks off is the only legwork you get done is whatever you get exercising (in my case not much).
Regarding today’s blog, I’m tired of all the whining. Maybe it’s because of the bright sunshine and perfect weather we’re encountering down here or maybe it’s just because I just woke up on the right side of the bed but I’m not seeing all the doom and gloom I’ve been reading in the comments here lately.
So let’s focus on the positives. Like Georgia’s offensive line. Think about it, every one of this group will be back next season. Vince Vance will be the only senior. The trouble next season will be figuring out who to play where. Do you put Trinton Sturdivant back at left tackle and move All-SEC left tackle Clint Boling back to right guard or right tackle? If it’s right tackle what then do you do with Justin Anderson? Does Vance move back to guard?
Regardless, these are good problems to have. And regardless of what Knowshon Moreno and Matthew Stafford decide to do, that line is why I think Georgia’s offense will still be explosive next season. That line should make the transition to the next guys more smooth.
I don’t think Georgia’s defense can do anything but get better. Most of this group is back. The interior line loses only Corvey Irvin and will add Jeff Owens back in. We’ll see some new blood move in at defensive end. Three-fourths of the secondary is back. Again, lots of young talent to see on that side of the ball.
And isn’t that, after all, what’s great about college football? It’s a cyclical sport. Everything is going to change every four or five years.
Now I’m going to finish my cup of coffee. It’s still half full.
