On Monday’s I’ll try to round up college football news from around the nation. This is an odd Monday in which we’ve still got a game going on tonight, but there’s still plenty happening.
There might be too many links here, but I wanted to make sure you were covered. Let me know if it’s just too much.
Happy Labor Day!!!

Sixteen people arrested, 24 ejected at Wisconsin-LSU game
Police at the game had to deal with a handful of skirmishes in the stand, as well as high levels of drunkenness among some fans, as Lambeau hosted the season opener for the Wisconsin Badgers and the visiting Louisiana State University Tigers.
More than your average Packers game!
Can you imagine going to Lambeau for a historic game like this and not being able to remember any of it? What’s the point?
