Every game in Georgia football's 31 game home winning streak
The Georgia Bulldogs have won 31 straight games in Sanford Stadium, which is the the longest active home winning streak in college football. The Bulldogs impressively have 20 consecutive home wins against SEC opponents. Georgia has a challenging 2025 home schedule, so the Bulldogs' winning streak could be coming to a close. Georgia claimed college football's longest home win streak after the Alabama Crimson Tide lost to the Texas Longhorns on Sept. 9, 2023. Advertisement In 2024, the Bulldogs capped a fifth consecutive undefeated season at home with a dramatic eight-overtime win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. This game was easily Georgia's most improbable win during the streak. Georgia came back from a 17-point halftime deficit and at one point, Georgia Tech had a 98.5% chance to win. Georgia's last home defeat came on Oct. 14, 2019, to South Carolina Gamecocks. The Gamecocks won 20-17 in double overtime. The last team to defeat Georgia in regulation at home was Georgia Tech back on Nov. 26, 2016. Georgia has won two national championships and two SEC championships since their last home defeat.

Colorado CB Preston Hodge Makes Personal Announcement Before Upcoming Season
Colorado CB Preston Hodge Makes Personal Announcement Before Upcoming Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Preston Hodge wasn't satisfied with how the 2024 season ended for him at Colorado. An injury kept him out the final four games and lit a fire under him. Enough so that the Buffaloes defensive back didn't even test the NFL waters. Advertisement The announcement of Hodge returning to Boulder wasn't the biggest news from him this offseason. On Sunday, he posted photos of his Texas wedding. The small gathering of family and friends came in a courthouse ceremony near Dallas. "Two are better than one... and we've known that since we were 15," Hodge wrote on Instagram. "With God at the center and love all around, we said 'I do." Hodge spent two seasons at Liberty before transferring to Colorado last offseason. The four-star prospect lived up to the hype as a physical shutdown nickel corner. He put together an outstanding highlight reel, including interceptions against Colorado State and UCF.

As the ocean warms, a new study found it's also changing color
For thousands of years, writers have come up with increasingly creative ways to describe the 'wine-dark sea.' But a new study suggests that modern poets may be faced with a slightly different palette. A study published Thursday in the journal Science found that the ocean is changing color as it warms. By analyzing satellite data from 2003 to 2022, researchers from Duke University and the Georgia Institute of Technology noticed that waters near the equator were getting bluer, while areas near the poles were turning greener. Lead author Haipeng Zhou calls it 'this greener greens or bluer blues phenomenon.' The culprit, the paper suggests, is the teeny tiny plant-like creatures that form the building blocks of the marine food web — phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are filled with a green pigment called chlorophyll that allows them to absorb energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. As waters near the equator warm, they're less hospitable to the microscopic critters, so the water appears bluer. At the poles, the colder water is far more nutrient-dense, so there's lots more phytoplankton to go around, giving the waters a rich, green tinge. It's not a new phenomenon. There's a reason the Caribbean is known as the land of dazzling turquoise waters, while Arctic waters are a dark teal contrast to the ivory ice floes around them. But Zhou, who began the research at Duke University and completed it as a postdoctoral researcher at Georgia Tech, found that as the ocean warms, this phenomenon is getting stronger. Their study only looked at the open ocean, not coastal waters. Near the coast, there are plenty of complicating factors that make it hard to clearly point to phytoplankton as the main cause of color changes, like dirt and sand floating in the water, shifting winds, pollution or even seagrass die off. To understand the concentrations of phytoplankton, the research team relied on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration database made up of samples scooped from various research cruises all over the world. This database, plus satellite imagery, helped show the color shift in different regions of the ocean. The changing levels of phytoplankton could be bad news for fish in the tropics, or for communities that rely on those fish. But it could also be a boon for their northern and southern cousins. 'We all know that phytoplankton is the bottom of the food chain. Any impact on phytoplankton will have impacts on its predators,' Zhou said. Phytoplankton need sun and nutrients to flourish, but when the ocean warms, the individual layers that make up the sea grow more stratified, so it's harder for phytoplankton to float up and down the water column to access the same light and nutrients they're used to, he said. So while scientists can clearly say that warmer waters lead to fewer phytoplankton, and they know that climate change is one of the main reasons the oceans are heating up, it's not clear if climate change is the reason for the color shift. 'We need longer records, 30 years, 40 years, to make us more confident whether it is linked to climate change or global variability,' Zhou said. The study only looked at about 20 years of data, which Zhou said is enough to confidently say that something has changed, but not long enough to know what caused that change. Other factors can and do affect water temperature, like the shift in trade winds over the Atlantic that led to a coral-killing marine heat wave in 2023. 'The study period was too short to rule out the influence of recurring climate phenomena such as El Niño,' wrote co-author Susan Lozier, Dean of the College of Sciences at Georgia Tech, in a statement. However, Zhou added, more research may very well find that this color-shifting trend continues into the future as human-caused climate change continues to heat up the oceans. 'The temperature of the water is rising. While there's no evidence showing that this progress will slow down, it's very likely we'll have warmer waters in the future, which means we'll have a continuous impact on the ocean ecosystem.' Correction: An initial version of this story incorrectly listed the start of the period analyzed on satellite as 2009. It was 2003.

Brown student and ‘Survivor' contestant Eva Erickson says RFK Jr. is wrong about autism: ‘He can kick rocks'
Erickson said, 'He can kick rocks. That is absolutely wrong on so many fronts, and I think my life is just one of the many, many examples of how wrong he is about Advertisement Erickson also delivered that message in an Instagram post that showed her graduating from college, playing hockey, competing on 'Survivor,' and dating. Get Rhode Island News Alerts Sign up to get breaking news and interesting stories from Rhode Island in your inbox each weekday. Enter Email Sign Up 'The number one biggest thing that I can say about autism is: There's not something wrong with you,' Erickson said on the podcast. 'There's so many misconceptions being thrown around these days about what autism is, what it means for a person in their life, and I am very proud to have gotten to go on national television and show what my life looks like as someone who's on the autism spectrum.' At one point in 'Survivor' Season 48, which came out earlier this year, Erickson becomes frustrated while practicing for a fire-starting competition. She explained that she hadn't succeeded in some other competitions and she ended up having the kind of 'episode' that can come with autism. Advertisement 'My head was spiraling,' Erickson said. 'I got overstimulated and I was out of control, and it was much worse than what they showed on the show.' She said she was 'screaming and scratching myself, stimming (repetitive behaviors) on the ground.' And she did not calm down right away when another contestant, Joe Hunter, came to help her. But Erickson said, 'I kind of wished that more had been shown so other people who have autism could see that that was my lowest point in the game and it was the hardest.' She said she had to 'battle through' that mindset, and she ended up beating Kamilla Karthigesu in the fire-starting challenge, propelling her into the final three. 'I'm very proud that I was able to get through that and then ultimately build the fire,' Erickson said. She said she views autism as her 'biggest strength and my greatest weakness.' One on hand, she can become overwhelmed at times. But, she said, 'It gives me so many great things in my life, like the aptitude for math.' Erickson is now pursuing a PhD in engineering and fluid and thermal science at Brown. She said her engineering background helped her compete in puzzle challenges on 'Survivor.' But she said she tried to hide a 'more intellectual side' during the competition, and would sometimes add numbers incorrectly on purpose. 'I wanted people to underestimate me because I do come in being a very physical threat,' Erickson said. 'I can't hide that. I can't hide my muscles.' A Minnesota native, she became the first and only woman to play on the men's ice hockey club team as an undergraduate at Georgia Tech, and she is now the captain of the men's club team at Brown. Advertisement Eva Erickson is captain of the men's club hockey team at Brown University. Handout Erickson only revealed her academic credentials at the final 'tribal council.' In a compelling final speech, she said, 'We've been saying this season that 48 is an unprecedented season,' and 'You have never seen a player like me.' The 'Survivor' competition took place on an island in Fiji, and Erickson said the hardest part of being on the island was the crabs. 'The crabs were attacking me in my sleep,' she said. 'Only me. Nobody else had problems with the crabs. Other people were freaked out by the bugs and stuff. But I'm fine with bugs. I worked with centipedes as an undergrad, but I would get these crabs biting me in my sleep and it was kind of spooky.' On the podcast, she said there are similarities between competing on 'Survivor' and pursuing a PhD — aside from a lack of sleep. Eva Erickson is pursuing a doctoral degree in engineering and fluid and thermal science at Brown University. Handout 'Every day on 'Survivor,' it's about you go do a challenge and there's the actual competitive challenges as well as the challenge of not sleeping, of not eating,' she said. 'With my PhD, it's the same thing. It's constantly challenges. I do an experiment, it doesn't work, something breaks — OK, what am I going to change?' Perseverance is the key in both situations, she said. Erickson has two years to go before she gets her PhD. She said she would like to work in the sports equipment industry after graduation. She has a passion for hockey and has been studying vibrations and physics. So, she said, 'It'd be really cool to work on vibration suppression in sports equipment.'
