Last weekend’s games didn’t pan out too well for Abby. It wasn’t a complete washout like the top 25 teams that played did. More teams (11) ranked in the top 25 lost last week than any other since 1989, and four of them were idle. Abby wagered a meager 10 bones wary of the pre …

Do you have a sense of what you want to do today? Tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Next year? Your future starts this second. We realize that many before us have uttered this phrase. But, we also realize that far too many have dismissed a chance to really, really pause and reflect on its reality. …
If college football was a horse race the announcer would exclaim, “they’ve hit the far turn.” Eight games, or two-thirds in of twelve, the games never fail to intrigue.
