The College Football Club is proud to announce that our 2019 CFC event will be on September 21st in Athens, GA when the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame lay siege to Sanford Stadium, home to the Georgia Bulldogs!  This matchup is sure to provide thrilling football action, and we can’t wait!

Notre Dame blew out the Stanford Cardinal at the 2018 CFC event on Sept. 29th, 2018, with a final score of 38 to 17!

Way to go Irish, and what a great game!

Although Michigan State played tough, Michigan managed the game well this weekend and came out on top 32-23 over their in-state rivals, and maintained their unbeaten status, improving to 8-0 overall and 5-0 in Big Ten play.  Everyone here at the CFC had an awesome time this weekend, and congrats to the Wolverines for a great game against a strong Spartans squad!

Due to scheduling concerns, the CFC has changed their event this year to the always-intense Michigan vs. Michigan State contest in East Lansing, MI on October 29th!  Hard to find a better rivalry than that!

In our final CFC game of the year, we traveled to Ohio to see our hometown Golden Gophers take on the top-rated OSU Buckeyes on their home turf.  The undefeated OSU team would eventually take the win…but the final score of 28-14 shows a wider advantage than actually existed near the end of the game…the Gophers were actually within one score of a tie (or possibly a win) after a touchdown with 2:10 left in the fourth quarter, putting the score at 14-21.  An onside kick attempt went out of bounds though, and the Buckeyes scored a final touchdown on their last series to finally put the game out of reach – and preserving their perfect record.  The Gophers, fighting strong after the unexpected retirement of head coach Jerry Kill, fell to 1-4 in conference play, having also lost a very close game the previous week to a powerful Michigan team at Michigan.

Instead of the multi-day trip originally planned, the CFC has decided to make it an all-Gopher year, and will travel to Columbus, OH to watch the Gophers take on the #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes…who, aside from being undefeated so far this year, and as noted are at the top of the polls right now, are also the reigning national champions.  The Golden Gophers, at 4-3 overall, have only one won Big Ten conference game, having thrashed Purdue 41-13 on the road.  They’ll need to summon another performance like that when they take on the Buckeyes on their home turf…and the CFC will be there to see it!

You could understand if someone would have discounted the Golden Gopher’s chances on Sept. 3rd, having to face down the #2 ranked TCU Horned Toads.  Apparently though, the Gophers wouldn’t have listened to them…MN played a tough game losing by a margin of 6 points (23-17) while putting up some unexpected stats – like a time of possession that was nearly 10 minutes longer than TCU.  Had the Gophers pulled off their onside kick attempt after their last touchdown with about 1:30 to go, the game could have ended a different way…

Things did not go so well for the Texas Longhorns on Sept. 5th though, as the Fighting Irish were saddled up and ready to deal with the stampede.  The top-10 ranked Notre Dame team defended their home turf with an iron fist, crushing Texas 38-3.

We can’t wait for the next CFC weekend coming up in early November!  Our tour through KS and TX is gonna be great…we can just feel it!
