For The First Time In Over 40 Years, Georgia Wins The National Championship


Share this post

Georgia takes home the National Championship after dueling with their number one rival Alabama. With just 97 seconds of play in the very first quarter, Georgia took down Alabama's Bryce Young to cause a fumble with a resulting touchdown. Unfortunately, for Georgia, that call was reversed after reviewed, but may have been an early indication that Georgia was out for the win.

Neither team was able to get a firm footing in its offense until after the half. The first and second quarters kept both teams scoring only from field goals. Alabama ended the half with 9, and Georgia with 6.

It was not until the the third quarter, with only 80 seconds left, when the very first touchdown was scored. Georgia's 80-yard drive in four plays earned them a touchdown, making the score Georgia 13, and Alabama 9. But the game was not over there. Georgia disintegrated all hope for Alabama with a pick-six in the fourth quarter. That took Georgia's lead to 32-18, with an easy earned point after to make it 33-18.

A huge congratulations to Georgia, whose last National Championship came in 1980 – long overdue!

"I just love everything about this place and I wanted to win a national championship here."

The US House votes to overturn Trump's tariffs on Canada

The US House of Representatives has voted to rescind US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. In a 219 to 211 vote, six Republican lawmakers joined Democrats to back a resolution that seeks to end the tariffs Trump imposed on Canada last year.  The vote is largely symbolic as it will still need to be approved by the US Senate and then approved by Trump, who is very unlikely to sign it into law.  Since his re-election, Donald Trump has imposed a series of tariffs on Canada, recen

Seventeen’s Tiny Desk Proves K‑Pop Has Officially Cracked the “Serious Music” Canon

Seventeen just made Tiny Desk history as the first K‑pop group to perform an in‑office concert at NPR, delivering a nine‑song medley with a live band squeezed behind the famous shelves. The set, which Music Connection highlighted in its January “Song Biz” column, strips away arena‑scale production in favor of tight harmonies, reworked choreography for a cramped stage and arrangements tailored to Tiny Desk’s intimate, musician‑forward format. With only part of the group present and an audience o
