Of the non-CFP bowls so far, the staff is 10-8. We were 8-16 in the CFP games. The standings also got shaken up as Andrew got a game up on the field and Cole jumped into a tie for 2nd with Import. Tom is making a last gasp towards .500 while I missed the chance […]

382. That is how many members are inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame located in Canton, Ohio. Being enshrined is the pinnacle of every player who puts on a jersey and laces up their cleats.
