Gunner Stockton is one tough cookie.

Georgia Bulldogs star quarterback Gunner Stockton took a vicious hit during the first half of Thursday’s Sugar Bowl playoff game against the Ole Miss Rebels.

Looking to win their third national championship in six years, No. 3-ranked Georgia has to get by No. 6 Ole Miss to reach the College Football Playoff semifinals. Regardless of which side you’re on, you can’t deny how bad Gunner Stockton wants to win this.

During the second quarter, Tahj Chambers leveled Stockton with a perfectly clean hit after throwing a pass. On the next play, Stockton ran the ball into the end zone for six:

Per ESPN, Stockton came into tonight’s game with 2,691 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also had 442 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns.

Oregon and Indiana both emerged victorious on Thursday to set up a semifinal showdown on Jan. 9. The winner of Ole Miss vs. Georgia will take on No. 10 Miami in the other semifinal clash.

With the Ohio State Buckeyes losing to Miami on Wednesday, we are guaranteed a new champion this year.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
