One reason Gunner Stockton wants to beat Florida? His grandfather Lawrence died of a heart attack in the parking lot after the Dawgs lost to the Gators in 2010.
"He said something about Todd Grantham and collapsed," said Suzanne Frederickson, Lawrence Stockton's widow.

Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson said when TCU’s Sonny Dykes was recruiting him, he used to bring up how he hit a home run off his dad, one of Dykes’ old friends and a former MLB first-round pick. Sawyer has vowed to avenge the honor of Stan Robertson this week.

I wrote this week that TCU discovered the Iron Skillet trophy was broken shortly before the 2018 game and hustled to the local Ace Hardware and replaced it with a $49.99 Lodge skillet. Yesterday, I got to see the handoff on the sideline from an SMU staffer to TCU. 😂

An ode to the last Iron Skillet, which gave us real spite, a Game of the Century, Dan Jenkins, suffered through lean years and was just getting good! (And whose trophy secretly broke and was replaced by a Lodge skillet from a hardware store right before the 2018 game.)

The story behind Pudge the cat is more than just about a viral locker-room mascot at Bowling Green: He was a gift from a mom with Stage 4 cancer for her son and helped her son rediscover joy after her death. Even Eddie George, allergic to cats, has been smitten.

Bowling Green's unofficial mascot, Pudge the cat, is more than just a smushy face

Bowling Green may have a former Heisman Trophy winner for a coach, but the biggest star on this team is a cat.
