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. …

Welcome back, oh great and wonderful college football fans, to episode 435 of the GCR. I admit when I’m wrong and I was wrong about the Hawai’i Bowl on the 24th. Not intending to stay up too late, the game that started at 8:00pm (all times Eastern) had 5 OTs before South Florida (7-6/99) finally …
