G’s Expectation or What to What in Week 5

Greetings sports fans. As I’m starting this, the early game tonight is about 15 minutes away and I’m reminded of a standing dad joke from my father whenever we went to a ball game. He would say he could give the score of the game 5 minutes before the start. As the countdown clock approached …

Last week, oh great and wonderful college football fans, the Sun Belt East took the football world by storm? However, like any Cinderella story, the clock does strike midnight.
