The games tend to ratchet up in intensity starting today and we have lots a great football ahead. Let’s recap yesterday’s games …

Happy Tuesday and day 10 of this year’s bowl season. Yesterday, in a triple (Vegas, GCR to win, and GCR to cover) upset, New Mexico St quickly jumped on top of Bowling Green 14-0 at the half and held on despite a late surge to win the Quick Lane Bowl, 24-19. That makes the Aggies …
Welcome back, college football fans, after a much-needed day off. I know most companies have today as a holiday, but here at the GCR, we have 100% of the staff back on bowl duty. Ok, that’s me, but I’m 100% back on bowl duty. Before we get to today’s game, let’s look at a weird …

Welcome to our Christmas Eve addition of the GCR. I hope everyone is staying warm and comfortable today. Yesterday we had a couple of really exciting games. First, in the Independence Bowl, Houston trailed Louisiana 16-6 at the half and my wife said, “I don’t think the GCR got this one right,” but in went …

Happy Friday college football fans. We had a good game to watch last night as Air Force ran (and occasionally passed) over Baylor, 30-15 in the Armed Forces Bowl. The Falcons ground game ate up more than 40 minutes of the clock and Baylor just couldn’t find the answer. Here is the updated winners/losers chart: …
Happy Thursday, oh great and wonderful college football fans. There was a major upset last night in New Orleans as Vegas and the GCR missed on W Kentucky’s impressive 44-23 win over South Alabama. The Hilltoppers could do little wrong to start the game and jumped to a 24-0 lead that the Jaguars cut to …

Happy Wednesday and welcome to day 5 of the FBS bowl season. Yesterday the MAC had a great day with 2 victories. First, in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, E Michigan upset San Jose St 41-27 with a monster 2nd quarter to take a 30-13 half time lead and held on despite being outgained 498-416. …
Welcome back for another bowl game episode of G’s Expectation. A recap of yesterday’s Myrtle Beach Bowl shows what looked like a complete blowout by Marshall (and especially that defense – wow!) turn into a potential major comeback in the 3rd quarter. The Thundering Herd had a commanding 28-0 lead with 9:51 to go in …
Welcome back from a much-needed day of rest following Saturday’s action. Let’s do a quick review. In the FCS, Jackson St lost in overtime to NC Central 41-34 in the Celebration Bowl (back-to-back upset losses in Atlanta), but still finished 12-1 in Coach Prime’s last season there. We’ll see if he can turn around Colorado. …
Thanks to my friend CL who reminded me the Celebration Bowl is playing today at noon Eastern. It’s Coach Prime’s last game at Jackson St (12-0/86), the only remaining undefeated FCS school. They will be facing a good NC Central (9-2/138) in this annual meeting of the champions of the SWAC and MEAC conferences. Last …
