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!

Few points on Dogs’ scoring woes
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Nashville - A few points about a basketball game that didn’t have many (Vanderbilt 50, Georgia 40, if you missed it):
• Here, FYI, are the six games since 1960 in which Georgia scored fewer points than last night: 26 points vs. Mississippi State in January 1982; 36 vs. Tennessee in February 1967; 37 vs. Vanderbilt in February 2005; 38 vs. Georgia Tech in February 1980; 38 vs. Florida in March 2005; and 39 vs. Vandy in February 2004. All except the Florida game on the road.
• Rough night for the freshman Trey Thompkins, who was 3-of-15 for just six points. He and Terrance Woodbury, averaging 28.5 points per game between them this season, were a combined 7-of-27 from the field.
• Georgia never led in the second half and, after getting within 44-40, didn’t score a point in the final three minutes.
• After the game, Dennis Felton wanted to make sure his players didn’t obsess over the shooting problems (33.3 percent from the field) and turnovers (20) to the point of overlooking the positive things about the night: defense (Vandy shot 40.8 percent) and rebounding (Georgia had a 39-28 edge after losing badly on the boards the past two games).
• Vanderbilt entered the game tied for first in NCAA Division I in field goal percentage defense (36.1 percent) - and lowered it.
• Vandy’s 50 points were its fewest in an SEC victory since … 1951!
OK, about to hit the road. Wonder how many football players will enter the NFL draft while I’m en route… .
