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!

Any chance of turnaround for Hoop Dawgs?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“OK, Georgia is bad. Real bad. That’s a given.”
That was the first line of John Clay’s column in the Lexington Herald-Leader after he watched Kentucky play the Bulldogs in Stegeman Coliseum on Sunday. Ouch.
Clay’s column wasn’t about how bad the Bulldogs are this season. He was merely putting the Wildcats’ victory into perspective for Big Blue fans. In other words, “yes, UK looked good but it was against a really bad team.”
His colleague, Jerry Tipton, wrote something similar in the Herald-Leader’s game story. “Facing easily the weakest team in a diminished Southeastern Conference, UK rolled to a 68-45 victory.”
Like it or not, that is now the perception of your Georgia Bulldogs across the league. There is still much season left but nobody is showing Dennis Felton’s team much love these days.
As us reporters were watching Kentucky break out to leads of 15, then 20 and 25 points from press row during the game, we started debating, what does Georgia do well this season? The Bulldogs have always been dominant on defense under Felton. But they’re middle of the road — seventh — even in that category. Finally we found the one shining example: Georgia leads the league in 3-point field goal defense.
I’m sure you read Mark Bradley’s column on Felton and Clay started a blog on the debate whether or not Felton should be fired. What do you guys think? Is there any chance the Bulldogs can get it turned around between now and March?
