Dawgs Fall In Jacksonville
T
he Georgia Bulldogs fell to the Florida Gators in an ugly war of attrition at this year’s World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, ultimately suffering a defeat of 28-44 against a potent Gator offense. The Bulldog defense suffered pass coverage issues and the Gators threw for well over 400 yards on the normally stout Bulldog secondary, missing such key pieces as veteran safety Richard LeCounte. The offense fared little better, as quarterback Stetson Bennett IV suffered a shoulder injury and talented freshman wideout Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint suffered a scary ankle injury during the game. Questions remain as to the quarterback situation in Athens moving forward.
Senatorial Runoff in Georgia
A
s a result of neither race’s candidates obtaining 50% +1 of the necessary vote to capture one of Georgia’s two coveted Senate seats, the election is moving to a runoff. Incumbent David Perdue faces a stiff challenge from Jon Ossoff, and the incumbent Kelly Loeffler faces a challenge from Rev. Raphael Warnock. The control of the US Senate is likely to come down to these races, and both sides are gearing up for an incredible spending spree and media blitz to descend upon the Peach State as Georgia becomes the center of US electoral politics. The runoff will take place on January 5th.
Cancellation of Spring Break
T
he University of Georgia announced a decision to remove the scheduled dates for next academic semester’s spring break, normally scheduled for March 8-12, in favor of more sporadic one day breaks scattered throughout the semester. The motive for such moves remains unclear, and the decision was met with immediate ire from students and faculty alike, citing the need for a break during an especially stressful time given the COVID-19 pandemic. — Boris A.
