All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
Happy Friday and welcome back! Today we have the long-awaited semi-finals but before we get that far ahead, let’s review yesterday’s thrilling games. 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 …

Greetings oh wonderful college football fans from Starkville Mississippi where we brought our daughter today to announce she is attending Mississippi St in the fall. I guess now I will have to pull for the Bulldogs (at least when they aren’t playing the Gamecocks) for a few years. It’s been an exciting day, but tomorrow …
I reach out to you today, oh wonderful college football fans, with a bit of a heavy heart. Two more bowls were cancelled due to Covid outbreaks.

Not to single out any holiday and the safest and happiest of all the winter holidays (from Channukah to Ramadan, Saturnalia to Kwanzaa, Solstice to Tet, and any I left out) from all of us here (that would be me) at the GCR massive server room (aka my laptop). I didn’t post yesterday because I …
Happy Thursday college football fans and I hope you are somewhere safe, healthy, and warm. Rumors are flying over Texas A&M’s replacement in the Gator Bowl with Rutgers (first in line in APR) or a substitute Big Ten team (Illinois has expressed interest). I’ll try to stay on top of it since I know the …
Hello once again oh wonderful college football fans. Let’s start with the Texas A&M dropping out of the Gator Bowl vs Wake Forest. Look, COVID is once again wreaking havoc with all sports at all levels, and that’s a significant part of the Aggies’ issue. They also have some injuries. They also have opt-outs which …
Hello college football fans to the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. To steal from a friend’s meme: it only gets brighter from here. Yesterday there was just the one game in which Tulsa 7-6 (73) ran all over Old Dominion 6-7 (134). The Monarchs got the game off to an incredible …

Hello oh great and wonderful. We do have the Myrtle Beach Bowl (in Conway, SC, not Myrtle Beach, but what’s a few miles between friends), but before we get to that discussion, let’s recap Saturday’s game and check the bowl standings. We’ll start with the FCS. In the second semifinal Montana St 12-2 (82) used …
