Hello, oh great and patient college football fans.

First, the Duke’s Mayo Bowl was a surprise to everyone when underdog South Carolina 7-6 (58) upset UNC 6-7 (70) 38-21. In a complete game from the Gamecocks including 534 yards of …
Good morning from good old Roswell, Georgia, the secret lair of the GCR. It’s good to be home and watching football on my own big screen. Even though the Duke’s Mayo Bowl is underway, but let’s look at yesterday’s games first. ….. The Pinstripe Bowl was a blow out with Maryland 7-6 (45) leaving no …
Happy Wednesday from Lonoke, Arkansas where we’ve stopped for lunch on the way home. Let’s talk about yesterday and its craziness first: UCLA dropped out of the Holiday Bowl mere hours before they were supposed to kickoff against NC St, so we have yet another cancellation involving an ACC team (at least one was the …
