All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
Welcome back sports fans, as we kick off the new basketball season with the Men’s Top 365. Just like with the women on Monday, this first few weeks are going to be a tad wonky. In football, there is one cupcake game a year (sometimes two in the FCS, but even that is pretty rare). …
Welcome back, college football fans. I have to apologize for such the short Evaluation. Between going to the Chattanooga/Furman game and picking up a touch of bronchitis or something, the normal G energy wasn’t there.

Akron, Ball St, Bowling Green, Buffalo, C Michigan, E Michigan, Kent St, …
Welcome back, college football fans. Every week, we expect a good number of upsets. To make the point, the GCR had 14 of the 52 FBS games with the winner being the Vegas underdog and an additional 4 that had the underdog covering (note: we were 10-8 in those games). That’s roughly 1/3 of the …
Welcome back to an abbreviated Expectation, oh great and wonderful college football fans. Here at GCR headquarters, aka the living room, we had some unexpected events over the weekend along with a ton of follow up doctor’s appointments. So far so good on that front. But the biggest impact to time is college basketball jumps …
Welcome back, college football fans, as the temps drop, the heat rises.
