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!

Will Hoop Dogs win an SEC game?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
How many of you guys caught Georgia’s basketball game at South Carolina? Don’t let the final margin (79-68) fool you. It wasn’t that close. The loss was the Dogs’ 10th in a row and dropped them to 0-8 in conference play.
I’m beginning to wonder if they’ll win an SEC game this season. By the way, a Georgia team hasn’t gone winless in the league in the modern era. The Dogs went 0-2 in a punctuated season in 1944. Otherwise, they went 1-13 in 1956, 2-12 in 1952, 2-9 in 1945 and won just three SEC games in ‘53, ‘58, ‘62, ‘75, ‘77 and 2000.
It’s going to be tough to get a win this week. They’re at Tennessee Wednesday then play hosts to Florida on Saturday. It looks like Georgia’s next best chance will be Feb. 18 against Auburn in Athens. Don’t you know the pressure to win will be mounting by then?

You’ll recall that last week I pointed out that Georgia senior defensive tackle Jeff Owens had started his own blog. Well, I have to admit I’ve been very impressed with young Mr. Owens’ writing ability. His latest entry is entitled, “What It Means to Wear the G,”, and it’s guaranteed to fire up you Bulldogs fans. Very eloquent and passionate. And it’s particularly poignant coming from a kid that grew up in Sunrise, Fla.
