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!

The signs are everywhere
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dennis Felton is leaving no doubt about what’s top priority for his Georgia basketball team right now.
On the four walls of the team’s practice court, about 100 signs have been posted, all exactly the same.
In big red letters, they command:
“Blockout!
“Rebound!”
The Bulldogs’ rebounding has been “a consistent inconsistency” all season, Felton said Monday. And recently it has deteriorated and put the Bulldogs on a three-game losing streak heading into Wednesday’s game at Vanderbilt.
Thus, the reminders all around the practice court.
Other notes from Athens:
— Georgia women’s basketball coach Andy Landers will go for his 800th career victory Thursday night when his team plays Savannah State in Stegeman Coliseum. He would become just the fifth major-college women’s basketball coach to reach 800 victories.
— This is one of those stats that make you do a double-take: In 30 years of coaching at Georgia, Landers has never had a team lose four games in a row. That improbable record was kept intact Sunday when Georgia ended a losing streak at three by beating South Carolina.
— And for those who have asked, here’s the full list of Georgia football players who will miss spring practice while rehabbing from surgeries they had this past season or have had/will have this month:
Neland Ball, DE, patella tendon
Rod Battle, DE, shoulder
Chris Davis, OL, hip
Matt DeGenova, walk-on DE, shoulder
Darius Dewberry, LB, shoulder
Justin Fields, LB, knee (ACL)
Bruce Figgins, TE, shoulder
Akeem Hebron, LB, ankle
Jeff Owens, DT, knee (ACL)
Craig Sager, walk-on WR, shoulder
Trinton Sturdivant, OT, knee (ACL)
Vince Vance, OL, knee (ACL)
Corenelius Washington, DE, forearm
Also: RB Dontavius Jackson will be limited initially in spring after arthroscopic knee surgery last month.
