Poor shooting cost Lady Dogs second-straight loss

Shooting. It’s a relatively simple skill but one that the Georgia women’s basketball team simply cannot seem to figure out. Despite grabbing more rebounds, forcing more turnovers and dishing out more assists than Mississippi State on Thursday night, the ninth-ranked Lady Dogs lost their second consecutive game by a score of 74-66. It was that [...]

University’s last-place rank inaccurate (w/documents)

A recent study ranking the University last in low-income and minority student enrollment skews the facts, according to officials.

Modern Skirts to play new “minimalistic” material

Sophomore Torrin Lawrence solidified his prominence on the national track scene when he shattered the collegiate record in the 300-meter dash with his time of 32.32 seconds at the Hokie Invitational last weekend. Unlike the competition so far this indoor season, Georgia’s star sprinter allowed the Red & Black to catch up with him this [...]

Music cranks for the Georgia men’s tennis team during practice, warm-ups

The Georgia men’s tennis team cranks up both its playing and the volume on its speakers during practices at the Lindsey Hopkins indoor courts. After louder sound equipment was brought into the courts for the first women’s match, the men’s team jumped to utilize the heart-throbbing bass and increase in decibels while working out. With [...]

Make smart decision in selecting major

We’ve heard it over and over. The economy is bad. The job market sucks. Students are graduating from college with little hope of finding employment. With this reality so painfully obvious, how could Caty Dickensheets advise students to choose a major based solely on their passions rather than practicality in her column on Jan. 21? [...]
