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 …
Howdy and yeehaw college football fans. Our last bowl prior to the championship games is coming in tonight. But first a quick (very quick recap) of our New Year’s games. 3 of the 5 games were decided by 3 or fewer points. ….. In an Outback blowout, Arkansas 9-4 (26) took care of Penn St …
Good morning (or afternoon for you late night partiers) and welcome to the first 2022 edition of the GCR Blog. The formulas that make up the data for this post began in 2012 and have evolved (and continue to evolve) into what we have today. My first blog as on August 31, 2019, and this …

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 …
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.

Hello everyone. I just finished watching Indiana break the GCRs heart. Looking to go 2-0 and recovering from an awful 3-6 holiday, the Hoosiers said, “no, you will not have a winning day” and handed Tennessee (who fought hard and earned) the victory. I’m not counting Vegas wins even though Tennessee failed to cover, so …
