Georgia v. Georgia Tech: "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate"

Today's rivalry game between Georgia and Georgia Tech, affectionately dubbed Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, carries high stakes and intense emotions as the two programs meet to close out their regular seasons.

For Georgia, the game is a critical tune-up before the SEC Championship and a potential push for a third national title in four years, while Georgia Tech sees it as a chance to solidify its resurgence in a bowl-eligible season.

Georgia enters the matchup as a 19.5-point favorite, riding the momentum of a dominant win over the Tennessee Volunteers.

Georgia Black Friday Shoppers Rise Earliest

Georgia shoppers are among the nation's earliest Black Friday deal-seekers, with residents beginning their online hunts at 4:20 a.m., ahead of the national average start time of 4:36 a.m., according to a new survey.

Half of Georgia's shoppers plan their Black Friday strategy a week in advance, while nearly a third begin preparations two weeks ahead.

Despite nationwide trends showing declining brick-and-mortar store traffic over the past decade, Georgia residents remain committed to the early morning shopping tradition, with 20% describing the experience as "exciting."

Stores like JCPenney and Kohl’s open at 5 a.m., while Walmart, Target, and Home Depot follow at 6 a.m., offering extended hours for shoppers seeking early deals.

Top Black Friday discounts include JCPenney, with an average of 76.2% off, Belk, at 72.68%, and Macy’s, at 57.13%. Electronics such as computers and phones lead with the highest discounts.

The newest trend in real estate

Forget DIY renovations. Co-ownership could do to real estate what Uber did to taxis.

It’s simple: buyers share ownership of a high-value asset, splitting costs while enjoying all the benefits. And it’s spreading like wildfire – growing 21% per year.

Take vacation homes, for example. They’re expensive to own and vacant most of the year. Co-ownership lets people fully utilize these properties at a fraction of the cost.

Companies like Pacaso are already leading the charge. Through their digital marketplace, users buy, sell, and finance vacation home shares. It’s been a huge success. They’ve already handed keys to 1,500+ happy homeowners, earning Pacaso $100m in gross profits.

And for the first time, everyday investors can own Pacaso stock. Learn more about investing in Pacaso before their share price changes 12/5.
