A new era in Wisconsin has arrived. The Badgers added Oklahoma transfer quarterback Nick Evers to the roster on Saturday. Evers was a four-star recruit from Flower Mound High School in Flower Mound, Texas. Luke Fickell was in the market for a quarterback after three-year starter Graham Mertz entered the transfer portal earlier this month. Evers served as a backup to Dillion Gabriel at Oklahoma … Continue reading Is Wisconsin back?
One of my earliest sport’s traditions with my dad is getting the local paper for the Bowl Schedule. My dad and I would go down the list, alternating picks, and place a penny on the winner of each game. Before I get any comments like “What type of father would teach his young kid to bet” or “Gambling at your age will cause you to … Continue reading Bowling for Incompetence

Living in Michigan, I am no stranger to the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry. My rivalry started when I was four years old. I walked by a TV and saw Michigan State hosting Michigan and couldn’t understand how a state was playing itself. One of my aunts, a Michigan State grad, tried to explain it to me.

The scoreboard does not always tell the whole story, but there were two scoreboards that told the College Football world a lot about Michigan football.
