I haven’t read it closely, but since 4.8 + 4.2 = 9, and 7.3 + 1.7 = 9, I’m guessing they’re predicting not just wins, but wins and losses for the season. On the other hand, who knows with those folks?

Hey, Curtis, I don't know if you're reading this, but if you are, I'm guessing many GHers would agree when I say I'm glad you're staying at the U, and look forward to watching the team play again, but more importantly, I hope you're OK. Take care.

Yes, they did. Their sausage and mushroom pizzas were outstanding. Rocky’s might still be my favorite pizza place. I first went to their restaurant on State Street in Madison when I was in high school (on a trip to see the NCAA Cross-Country Championships, run in the snow at Yahara Hills Golf...

I‘m pretty sure I could never cheer for any school in the SEC. If they end up being the only schools playing this season (and that’s not out of the realm of possibility), then I think my fall Saturdays will be spent watching the stain dry on my deck, measuring how long the grass grows in my...

Getting to Surly or Blarney hours before kickoff, to eat and drink with friends. Going to Surly or Blarney after the game, to eat and drink with friends. The buildup during the week, reading GH and other sites. The pageantry and splendor of college football.

Perhaps it’s all about semantics. If “consecutive years” seems dicey to some, how ‘bout we talk about “consecutive seasons,” instead?

The Coyles were underneath the turf at TCF Bank Stadium for some pretty impressive wins over the past couple of years, and now it’s rumored that Notre Dame wants them. Possibly USC. Edit: Misspelled Notre Dame as “Notre Damn.” I almost like that better.

That reminds me of a baseball announcer who, when describing an injured player, said, "He could be out indefinitely, maybe longer."

Well, at least Athlon got one of the three game locations correct, which is a greater percentage than usual for them.

I’m also stumped by the praise for Franklin. In his time at Penn State, his teams are 1-5 against Ohio State, 2-4 against Michigan, and 2-4 against Michigan State, and people say he’s the best coach in the B1G. I don’t understand.

I can’t wait to see what gets dumped on the head of the winning coach.

I have a hard time understanding all the love for Franklin. While at PSU, his teams are 1-5 against OSU, 2-4 against Michigan, and 2-4 against MSU. His PSU teams are 1-8 on the road vs ranked teams (the only win coming at Iowa last year). Bielema won three B1G titles at Wisconsin, and...

The athletic.com posted a listing of the five hottest programs in recruiting. It’s not necessarily who’s recruiting the best, but which programs are the hottest right now. Here’s their explanation of that: If you’re interested in finding out who is recruiting the best right now, it’s as...

Interesting to note the fine print underneath “The Best,” where Wisconsin and Iowa are both listed. So, three B1G West teams in the top seven.
