Ole Miss Shocks Georgia in Wild Sugar Bowl Finish


 New Year’s night delivered one of the most unforgettable finishes in recent college football history.

The No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels pulled off a stunning 39–34 upset over No. 3 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, punching their ticket to the College Football Playoff semifinals in a game that kept fans guessing until the very end.

What made this victory so memorable was not just the comeback but the chaotic final moments that had players, coaches, and even stadium staff unsure if the game was over.

Ole Miss trailed 21–12 at halftime, but quarterback Trinidad Chambliss led a fierce second-half rally, throwing for 362 yards and two touchdowns. With Georgia perched on a 34–34 tie late in the fourth quarter, Ole Miss drove down the field and set up a 47-yard field goal by Lucas Carneiro with just six seconds left — the kick that would eventually win the game.

But the drama didn’t stop there.

On the ensuing kickoff, Georgia tried a cross-field lateral on the return — and the ill-fated pass hit the pylon in the end zone, resulting in a safety for Ole Miss. Fans and players rushed the field thinking the game was done… only to be sent back as officials pointed out there was still one second left on the clock.

That left Georgia one last desperate chance. The Bulldogs ran a chaotic play full of laterals that fizzled out as time expired, officially sealing Ole Miss’s victory amidst one of the most unusual and tense endings you’ll see in big-game college football.

For Georgia, it was a heartbreaking end to a season that saw them as favorites and SEC champions. For Ole Miss, it was a statement — now 13–1 and heading to the CFP semifinals against Miami at the Fiesta Bowl, they’re just two wins away from a national title.

Fans and commentators alike are calling it an all-time classic — not just because of the Rebels’ comeback, but because of the sheer unpredictability of the final play sequences and the emotional roller coaster that followed.

In a sport defined by drama and heart-pounding moments, this Sugar Bowl didn’t disappoint.

Did Eleven Die in the Stranger Things Finale? What Fans Are Still Talking About

Image
When Stranger Things dropped its final episode, titled “The Rightside Up,” it wrapped up nearly a decade of supernatural chaos, friendship, and ’80s nostalgia. But the moment that fans can’t stop debating isn’t how Vecna was defeated or who made it out alive — it’s what happened to Eleven. Throughout the finale, Eleven steps up for one last time. The Upside Down is collapsing, the Mind Flayer and Vecna have been beaten, and Hawkins is finally free. But there’s still a dark force lurking — and Eleven makes the hard choice to stay behind to make sure the world is truly safe. In a deeply emotional scene, she tells her friends she has to end the cycle of exploitation and danger that’s followed her since Season 1, even though it might cost her everything.  At first glance, the episode seems to confirm the worst: Eleven appears to sacrifice herself. The portal collapses, she’s nowhere to be seen, and her friends return home believing she’s gone for good. That emotional blow hits hard —...

Strong 6.5-Magnitude Earthquake Rattles Acapulco and Central Mexico

Image
  A powerful 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck southern Mexico early Friday morning, sending shockwaves from the Pacific resort city of Acapulco to the nation’s capital and disrupting official events as people rushed into the streets in alarm. The quake struck at 7:58 a.m. local time with its epicenter near San Marcos , in the southern state of Guerrero , placing it about 57 miles northeast of Acapulco . According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the tremor was centered at a depth of roughly 21.7 miles (35 kilometers) underground — shallow enough to be strongly felt over a wide region. Ordinary routines were instantly disrupted. In Mexico City , high-rise buildings swayed, alarms wailed and residents spilled onto the streets seeking safety as the ground rolled beneath them. Many felt the quake despite being more than 280 kilometers from its center, a testament to the reach of seismic waves in this geologically active region. The quake even interrupted President Claudia Sheinbaum’s...
