The Gophers have the third-best winning percentage in the West. Maryland has the third-best winning percentage in the East.
Still, here’s hoping they end up playing the Skunks. Bring home the Axe!
I’m stumped by the praise for Franklin. Since he came to PSU, his teams are 1-5 against OSU, 2-4 against Michigan, and 2-4 against MSU. What is it that makes people say he’s one of the two or three best coaches in the B1G?
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.

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.

The buildup during the week, reading GH and other sites.
The pageantry and splendor of college football.
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.

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.
