Can you help me? I know this is an off-season thread but I want to start it this year.
On a blog, I am wanting to start a On this day in CFB history blog where I give a description of a "game of the century", big upset, big play, big moment, etc. on the day it happened. I want to have at least one for every day. Still trying to figure out what I am going to do for Jan. 1st, with countless moments.
Here's what I have so far. Help me out. Be a homer, be a troll. I am more concerned with filling out the days than New Years Day moments. I also don't want "Ohio State beat SMU on 9/28/1974".
