    The Georgia Bulldogs have national championship aspirations at this point. They can’t be denied. They’ve run through the SEC East and dominated all of their opponents except for an inspired Alabama Crimson Tide.
    Georgia’s 12-1 mark is something to be proud of considering how hard the squad worked throughout the season.

    Congratulations On The Georgia Bulldogs’ 12-1 Season

    What the Georgia defense did all season was remarkable, considering they never were in a close game except for the first game of the season against Clemson.
    Many of the players on Georgia’s defense will no doubt be playing on Sundays in the near future. The Bulldogs defense only allowed seven touchdowns in 44 quarters before the SEC Championship Game.

    Week 3: Georgia 40 South Carolina 13

    The Georgia defense rallied around Doty, who threw for 153 in his first action of the season. The Bulldogs improve to 3-0 on the season with a stifling defense as they opened up SEC play.
    Let’s watch the highlights.

     

    Week 4: Georgia 62 Vanderbilt 0

    The No. 2 Bulldogs ran over the Commodores in Nashville, Tennessee. Georgia moved the ball largely at will, piling up 524 yards in complete domination. Vandy only garnered 77 yards as Smart’s squad improved to 4-0.

    Week 5: Georgia 37 Arkansas 0

    The No. 8-ranked Razorbacks come into Athens with something to prove as the Bulldogs face their toughest contest yet.

    Week 6: Georgia 34 Auburn 10

    Georgia steamrolled the Auburn Tigers, 34 to 10, hamstringing their quarterback, Bo Nix. Georgia’s defense set the pace early on and the offense pulled away with 17 second half points.

    Even more sweet news? Georgia was projected to move to the #1 national spot after Alabama’s loss to Texas A&M.

    Here’s what Coach Smart has to say about the team’s victory:

    Week 7: 13 Kentucky Vs. 30 Georgia

    Once again, Georgia’s defense proved to control the game as the No. 1 Bulldogs topped No. 11 Kentucky 30-13 on Saturday afternoon in Athens.

     

    Week 8: Georgia 43 Missouri 3

    The No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs had little trouble with the Missouri Tigers, dominating the Tigers in a 43-6 rotue at Sanford Stadium on Saturday.

    Here are the highlights.

    Week 9: Georgia 65 Charleston Southern 7

    UGA’s Bennett threw for three touchdowns vs. one interception as the Dawgs easily handled Charleston Southern on Saturday, Nov. 20, 2021 before more than 92,000 fans at Sanford Stadium in Athens.

    Here are the highlights.

    Week 10: Georgia 45 Georgia Tech 0

    The No. 1-ranked Bulldogs blanked Georgia Tech at Bobby Dodd Stadium, 45-0 on Saturday, November 27, 2021, in Midtown Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets limp into the game at 3-8, while the Bulldogs have national championship aspirations.

    Here are the highlights:

    SEC Championship Game: Georgia vs. Alabama

    No. 1 ranked Georgia finally lost a game, being outgunned by sophomore Bryce Young and the Alabama Crimson Tide, 41 to 24. The matchup went down on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021 before a packed house in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

    Georgia’s vaunted defense held up in the first quarter, but gave up 24 straight points in the second quarter to trial by 7 at the half. Bama held court for the entire second half.

    Here are the highlights.

    College Football Playoff: Georgia 34, Michigan 11

    Then came the Orange Bowl: The Bulldogs heard a lot of smack all week about how good the Michigan Wolverines were, but the rugged SEC schedule prepared the Dawgs well: Quarterback Stetson Bennett threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns as the Bulldogs ran away with the game.

    Here are the highlights from the Orange Bowl:

    This set up a rematch of the vaunted Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia. Would the Bulldogs avenge 40 years of close calls and missed opportunities??

    National Championship Game: Georgia 33, Alabama 18

    On a frigid night in Indianapolis, the Georgia Bulldogs found themselves down by five points in the fourth quarter after their quarterback, Stetson Bennett, gave the ball away on an inexplicable fumble. Read more.

  • How To Track Prices With Google Shopping

    How To Track Prices With Google Shopping

    4 Min Read

    Buying the items you need has never been easier with online shopping, but are you using Google Shopping to get the best deal?

    Google’s shopping tool can help savvy consumers save more money as well as get to the products they want. The redesigned Google Shopping experience now lets you track prices on items you want to buy.

    In this article, we’re going to show you in a few easy steps how to track prices in Google Shopping.

     Track Prices With Google Shopping And Save Money

    If you’re not aware, Google Shopping is a shopping comparison tool that you can access inside your internet browser or via app. With Google Shopping, you can browse departments, search products and compare across stores.

    Among the recent changes to the site is that you now have the option to buy an item three ways:

    • You can choose to purchase online
    • At a local store that has the product
    • Or directly from retailers on Google

    While all of that is great, perhaps the most important change to savings-minded shoppers is the new “price track” tool.

    How Price Track Works

    When you see an item you’re interested in, turn on “price track” and you’ll receive a notification on your phone when the price of that item drops. Let;s walk through the steps:

    1. Go to Google Shopping and Search For Your Item

    As an example, I searched for a Playstation 4 Pro gaming console and found one for $399.99.

    How to track prices with Google Shopping

     

    2. In the Right Rail, Find the Track Prices Icon

    How to track prices with Google Shopping button

    I think I can get a better price, so I located the Track price button.

     

    3. Toggle It to On to Track Prices

    How to track prices with Google Shopping toggle on

    Once I toggled the Track price button to on, a got a screen notification that says: “You’ll get price drop alerts for Sony Playstation 4 Pro.” Here’s a screenshot of what that message looks like:

    Google Shopping price notification

    Google says you’ll have the option to receive those alerts through email, where you’ll be notified of any price changes.

    How to Stop Tracking Products

    You can stop tracking products either of two ways:

    • By returning to the Google Shopping product page and turning the price toggle off.
    • Or by going to Google’s My Activity page and deleting your activity history.

    Now you’re tracking the product’s price and Google will notify you if it goes on sale. Google will send a daily email with information on price changes over the past 24 hours. You can stop tracking products in Google Shopping by going to Google’s My Activity page and deleting your activity history.

    Last Words

    Ultimately, tracking prices is a great way to save money for all kinds of items you need. If you want to save on groceries, tracking prices is how you do it.

    BEFORE YOU GO, take a look at all the top deals happening on our Retail Page. Don’t pay full price for things when you can get GREAT VALUE on items for low prices. Don’t want to miss a deal? Sign up for our #ATLHaps list HERE🙂

    New Black Wall Street Opens In Atlanta Area This Weekend

    2 Min Read
    DeKalb County is home to a new Black Wall Street that aims to spark innovation and business creation among minority- and women-owned companies.

    The New Black Wall Street Market opened Black Friday weekend. The campus will be a marketplace that focuses on African-American entrepreneurs.

    New Black Wall Street Coming To Atlanta Area

    “The purpose of the market is to cultivate relationships with business owners in the Atlanta area, provide entrepreneurial training to enhance skills, offer a community for small businesses, and assist with the transition of online stores to brick-and-mortar,” officials told WSBTV.

    Embedded in the celebration is a homage to the original Black Wall Street, which was destroyed by white rioters in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921.

    From the ashes of that memory, Stonecrest organizers aim to make the new marketplace a Mecca that fosters minority and women-owned businesses to succeed.

  • A jury in Glynn County, Georgia, found all three men – Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan Jr. – involved in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery guilty on multiple counts of murder on November 24

    Guilty Verdicts Reached In Murder Trial Of Ahmaud Arbery In Georgia

    3 Min Read

    The three men who filmed and performed the execution-style shooting death of Ahmaud Abrery have been convicted in a Glynn County, Georgia, courtroom.

    The defendants — Gregory McMichael, his son Travis McMichael and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan — were all found guilty of felony murder in the killing of Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man fatally shot while out for a jog on February 23, 2020.

    The three white men, who all pleaded not guilty, were facing charges ranging felony murder to criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment.

    In closing arguments earlier in the week, prosecutor Linda Dunikoski argued that trio could not claim self-defense because there was no evidence of Arbery committing a crime or being named in one.

    Man Involved In Slaying Of Ahmaud Arbery Convicted Of Murder

    One week after the slaying, Arbery’s family had been calling for Bryan’s arrest even as he has been doing a lot of press interviews with his lawyer.

    In the weeks that followed, many people feared a racial controversy stirred up by outsiders.

    Benjamin Crump and S. Lee Merritt, the attorneys for the victim’s family, did their part to publicize the case. They said in a statement that “The family of Ahmaud Arbery was relieved to learn the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has today taken William ‘Roddie’ Bryan into custody.”

    “We called for his arrest from the very beginning of this process,” they said. “His involvement in the murder of Mr. Arbery was obvious to us, to many around this country and after their thorough investigation, it was clear to the GBI as well.”

    Gregory and Travis McMichael have told authorities that they thought Arbery fit the description of a burglar who had been seen in the area recently.

    The victim’s mother, Wanda Cooper Jones, told reporters her son was just jogging like he does every day.

    “I saw my son come into the world,” Jones said, according to CBS News. “And seeing him leave the world, it’s not something that I’ll want to see ever.”

    “These men were vigilantes, they were a posse and they performed a modern lynching in the middle of the day,” Lee Merritt, an attorney for Arbery’s mother, was quoted as saying.

    On the video, you can see Travis McMichael struggle with Arbery for the gun before you hear a gunblast, then another one to the chest.

    Travis McMichael and Greg McMichael arrested in Ahmaud Arbery slaying

    In the police report, McMichael reportedly says that Arbery “began to violently attack” him, leaving him no choice but to shoot.

    As the jurors all agreed, that was simply not true.

    Why T’Challa Will Not Appear In Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever

    8 Min Read

    We’ve got a fresh perspective on the insight into not bringing the character of T’Challa back to Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever.

    MCU VP of Development Nate Moore told Van Lathan Jr. on his podcast that T’Challa won’t be returning. “We couldn’t do it.”

    This is big news because while everyone knew that the death of Chadwick Boseman meant that he wouldn’t be returning, some reasoned that T’Challa could be recast. But Moore makes it pretty final in how he explains what the Marvel Cinematic Universe had to think about.

    Will T’Challa Be Back For Black Panther 2?

    “I would say that the chances that you see T’Challa — you will not see T’Challa in the MCU universe.,” Moore said, adding that the conversation about it with director Ryan Coogler was “minutes” rather than hours or days.

    “I think we all feel so much of T’Challa on the screen .. is tied to Chadwick’s performance,” Moore said. “At no point did we consider recasting. So the challenge of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever is telling the story without T’Challa and I think it’s a challenge we’re up for.”

    Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever is one of Marvel’s most eagerly anticipated movies. Marvel Studios is filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Casting calls have already began as well. The movie’s producers began production in July 2021.

    While we have been privy to a few details about the movie,, such as the debut of the Sub-Mariner and plot rewrites, there is still a lot to know! The most recent news is that I May Destroy You star Michaela Coel has joined the movie, according to Variety.

    With that being said, here is what we know about Wakanda Forever.

    Let’s look into that and more details from what will surely be a blockbuster film from Marvel Studios.

    Black Panther 2 Wakanda Forever: Here’s Everything We Know

    Black Panther 2 is set to move on without the lead actor for King T’Challa, Chadwick Boseman, who succumbed to cancer in summer 2020. Since then, fans have wondered how the epic African superhero tale will go on.

    As for how the film will deal, Marvel is careful to pay tribute where appropriate.

    Speaking recently at a fan event in Los Angeles, Marvel exec Kevin Feige says, “It’s clearly very emotional without Chad,” according to Variety. “But everyone is also very excited to bring the world of Wakanda back to the public and back to the fans. We’re going to do it in a way that would make Chad proud.”

    The Atlanta-filmed movie broke records when it was released in 2018, becoming the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with an African-American lead.

    When Will Black Panther 2 Be Released?

    Marvel Studios has revealed that Black Panther 2 will be released on July 8, 2022. The film also now has an official name: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

    Much has been said about the role of Shuri (Letitia Wright) and how she could become the next Black Panther for continuity’s sake, but Marvel has yet to reveal how it will be handled.

    Will Chadwick Boseman Appear In Black Panther Sequel?

    Moore confirmed that Boseman won’t appear in the film, but earlier, Marvel had repeated that Boseman’s likeness will not appear in CGI or any form, which is something the cast feels strongly about, including director Ryan Coogler.

    Cast member Lupita Nyong’o told Yahoo Entertainment “And his idea, the way which he has reshaped the second movie is so respectful of the loss we’ve all experienced as a cast and as a world. So it feels spiritually and emotionally correct to do this. And hopefully, what I do look forward to, is getting back together and honoring what he started with us and holding his light through it. Because he left us a lot of light that we’re still going to be bathing in. I know that for sure.”

    Will Michael B. Jordan Appear In Black Panther 2?

    One of the standout performances in the first film was Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger character. Although Killmonger died at the end of the movie, there’s a slight chance he could come back.

    Here’s what Jordan told Jess Cagle’s SiriusXM show: ““I’m gonna have to go with a solid 2. I didn’t want to go zero! Never say never. I can’t predict the future.”

    Will Namor Be In Black Panther 2?

    Reportedly Marvel has reportedly casted Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta to play Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Huerta is most known for his role in Narcos: Mexico.

    Does this mean that a Sub-Mariner movie could be in the works for the MCU? Interested minds want to know!

    What Will Be The Plot Of Black Panther 2?

    According to CBR.com, the plot for Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever has leaked. Here’s what they report:

    Both Wakanda and Atlantis are hidden civilizations with advanced technology and increased militaristic abilities that decided to separate themselves from the rest of the world for their own safety, and in a way, out of fear. Wakanda feared that their technology would be abused. Atlantis feared that surface dwellers would come and desecrate the mythical city just as they did so many years ago. And yet their fears escalate even further when these two once-hidden nations clash with each other. Wakanda and Atlantis have a shockingly intertwined history. Wakanda is the only county in the world with access to vibranium. However, rumors of its power spread throughout the world, and Namor’s human father was sent searching for this rare material in Antartica…”
