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!

Georgia gets off to slow start, but expecting fast finish
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia will find out today whether its gamble for the some of the nation’s top prospects has paid off.
The Bulldogs started off recruiting as if they were going to finish with the country’s No. 1 class. Georgia was gangbusters through the summer, securing a top 10 class, and giving the Bulldogs the confidence to target some of the nation’s top prospects at their respective positions with the few remaining scholarships: wide receiver Marlon Brown of Memphis, safety Jawanza Starling of Tallahassee, Fla., offensive lineman Bobby Massie of Hargrave, Va., defensive tackle Kwame Geathers of Carver’s Bay, S.C., and tight end Orson Charles of Tampa, Fla.
Was it the right move for the Bulldogs? Should they have gambled so much on out-of-state guys? Or should they have focused more on state players? They could’ve easily had Miller Grove wide receiver Stephen Hill (signed with Georgia Tech), Dacula’s Cameron Kenney (committed to Oklahoma), and Walton’s David Paulsen (committed to Oklahoma State) had the Bulldogs offered them earlier.
About 50-60 fans are gathered in the Butts-Mehre Building (UGA’s athletic department) to watch the festivities. The crowd was hushed as word spread that Miller Grove wide receiver Stephen Hill had decided to sign with Georgia Tech rather than Georgia this morning.
