After a defensive first quarter, Penn St (13-3/6) took over in the 2nd. Long drawn-out drives, interceptions, and a 10-0 lead with 2:18 to go to the half. Notre Dame (14-1/1) finally …
Welcome back to the latest GCR episode (#445). Last Monday, Montana St (15-1/99) became the last undefeated team to fall as North Dakota St (14-2/133) took an early lead in the FCS championship game and pushed back every comeback attempt. Congratulations Bison for your ten billionth (I didn’t actually count) title with the really fun …

Welcome to episode 443 of the GCR. Yesterday, we had a couple of interesting games. In the First Responder Bowl, in which Vegas and the GCR projected a rout by Texas St (8-5/84) over North Texas (6-7/103), no matter how good TXST looked, the Mean Green held them and came back over and over again. …

The GCR has reported violence related to football games, campuses, or locations far too many times.

He killed more than a dozen people …

Welcome back, oh great and wonderful college football fans, to episode 439 of the GCR. I wrote yesterday that the Music City Bowl between Iowa (8-5/38) and Missouri (10-3/25) was going to be a close one, almost a coin toss. Here’s the flow of the game. Iowa scored first in the opening quarter going up …
Welcome to episode 438 of the GCR. I guess technically there are a lot more as this blog started out as a simple email to coworkers and such for years. But I didn’t keep count, so #438 coming up. Yesterday was a rest day following 8 games that started at 11:00am (all times Eastern) and …
