The Red & Black

The Red & Black The independent student news org serving the University of Georgia and Athens communities. Since 1893 The Red and Black Publishing Company, Inc.

is an independent, private, not-for-profit corporation. Founded in 1893, the paper operated for 87 years under the University of Georgia. In 1980, the State Board of Regents approved independent status for the organization. The Red & Black circulates the largest college newspaper in Georgia. Each week we distribute 10,000 copies of the print edition both on and off campus, reaching nearly 45,000 s

tudents, faculty and staff. The print edition — and daily online content, which reaches 60,000 uses a week — cover University of Georgia and Athens news, sports, arts, music, culture and opinion pieces. The Red and Black is operationally and financially independent from the University of Georgia. The organization receives no student activity fees or other funding from UGA. Operations are sustained through the sale of advertising. Our twofold mission is to provide a training ground for students interested in gaining experience in various aspects of media and to provide a high quality news source for the University of Georgia community.

On Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025, at approximately 3:15 a.m., an individual now identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen form Texas, drove through a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 10 and injuring dozens.

The 2025 Sugar Bowl, originally set to be played on Wednesday night in New Orleans between Georgia and Notre Dame, brought many Athenians, University of Georgia athletes and others to New Orleans in light of the game. Sophomore UGA student Elle Eisele was critically injured during Wednesday morning's terrorist attack.

The Red & Black has compiled resources that have been made available to those impacted by the terrorist attack, as well as ways to support the Athens community.

The Georgia Bulldogs couldn’t get out of their own way on Thursday, and Notre Dame was happy to make them pay.

Georgia fell 23-10 to the Fighting Irish on Thursday in the Sugar Bowl, which served as a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game, and has a lot of self-inflicted wounds to blame for the way things turned out. The Bulldogs turned it over twice, with the first being a red zone fumble from Trevor Etienne that cost Georgia points and was his first ever lost fumble in college.

Georgia’s season came to a crushing end Thursday night after falling to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 23-10 in the Sugar Bowl.

For many, the storyline of this matchup was redshirt-sophomore quarterback Gunner Stockton making his first career start in the CFP playoffs — something no quarterback in the history of college football has done. Stockton was dubbed as the “deciding factor” against Notre Dame with analysts and fans alike feeling as though he would be a cause for Georgia going home and not a reason they could win.
