Super Bowl 53 had a star-studded matchup featuring two of the best running backs in the game. Both Todd Gurley II and Sony Michel starred in the big game while they represented the University of Georgia well. These two players are not the only Dawgs in Atlanta though. They were joined by 3 other former Dawgs.

Here is the list of Dawgs in the Super Bowl:

Todd Gurley II - LA Rams, Running Back

Sony Michel - NE Patriots, Running Back

Ramik Wilson - LA Rams, Linebacker

David Andrews - NE Patriots, Center

Isaiah Wynn - NE Patriots, Offensive Line (injured, will not play)

Let's take a look at how great these players were at the University of Georgia, and why they deserved to make it to this stage.

Todd Gurley II: After a massive freshman season at Georgia, Gurley just missed 1000 rushing yards in each of his next two seasons because he missed multiple games. Over the three years Gurley was at UGA he accumulated a total of 3285 rushing yards with 36 TDs and 615 receiving yards with 6 TDs.

Sony Michel: Michel was part of one of the most dynamic running back duos in college football history with his running mate Nick Chubb. Sony put together a four-year career of 3613 rushing yards with 33 touchdowns. He had 621 receiving yards followed with 6 TDs, similar to Gurley.

Ramik Wilson: Wilson doesn't make as much noise in the NFL as the previous two stars but he is putting together a decent career nonetheless. He previously played for the Chiefs before joining up with LA. Wilson amassed 253 total tackles after playing sparingly throughout his first two seasons. He had 6 sacks and added 19 tackles for loss.

David Andrews: Andrews is in his 4th season with the New England Patriots after being another standout at Georgia. He is the starting Center for the Pats in the Super Bowl as he protected the legend Tom Brady in yet another Super Bowl.

Isaiah Wynn: As one of the best offensive linemen in UGA history, Wynn was selected with the 23rd pick of the 1st round in the 2018 NFL Draft. Wynn was one of the primary blockers for the dynamic duo of Nick Chubb and Sony Michel. Unfortunately, Wynn was injured before the season began and has missed the entirety of it. The Patriots are excited to see Isaiah back in action next season to be a starter on one of the best offensive lines in the league. He is excited to get back out there and protect Brady with a fellow Georgia alum.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
