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!!!

If you’re a Husker fan you’ve no doubt heard about this. Pretty shitty stuff.

Big Ten

Initial Impressions: LSU 14, Wisconsin 16 - And The Valley Shook

Ugh.

Can you imagine how stoked the “Fire Les Miles” crowd is after that loss?

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?

Western Michigan Saved By Officials After Mind-Blowingly Stupid Play

Northwestern was driving late to take the lead on Western Michigan, needing only a field goal to gain the advantage on the scoreboard and having first-and-goal to do it. Then, disaster: Clayton Thorson fumbled just as he reached the end zone and WMU’s Davontae Ginwright recovered. Then things got weird.
