Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect It was a vapid, cold morning, the type of morning on which you make the same drive every day and can barely remember anything of significance about how you got there. You somehow just end up where you expected to be. Later that night, we would have practice, possibly the […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson They’ll be talking about that one forever. Kentucky. Notre Dame. You’ll watch a lot of sports if you dabble in that sort of thing, and every now and […]

There’s a scene in the epic Kevin Smith comedy sequel, Clerks II, when near the end (spoiler alert … if that’s possible with a near decade-old movie), they’re all in a jail cell pondering how they were going to get out of their predicament (go find out on your own). Noted drug dealers and loafers […]

Follow on Twitter @TheStudentSect Complaining about anything concerning March Madness Weekend One is like telling Mila Kunis “I don’t care for that shade of eye shadow.” It’s akin to going to a steakhouse, ordering chicken tenders, and complaining about the lousy honey mustard. One could liken the act to attending a craft beer festival and […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Disclaimer: I don’t think anyone will beat Kentucky. I’m not sure if you took away any four of Kentucky’s players anyone would defeat them. This isn’t meant to be some referendum on how there’s someone, somewhere out there that will do so. They’re the best team in the nation, and […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Okay, I’ll just preface this column with the fact that if it makes you angry, you need new hobbies. This is a list of the best school combinations of basketball and football coaches as compiled by one person, and while this can be done a million different ways, it really […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Big Ten quarterback discussion, you say? Let’s get weird. The best quarterback in a Big Ten stadium this upcoming year might be a head coach, and the best guy that’s actually going to throw the ball was a third stringer about this time last year, hopelessly buried on the depth […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Oh, the NFL Combine, the version of a band touring 30 years after they retired and lost a few members to death and it sells out just because people are desperate for that music. Every year, it gets bigger, and every year, more people complain. It’s cold in Indiana. The […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect In 1998, there was an “X-Files” episode in which David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson encountered a situation where some telemarketer basically saw his boss as a giant insect who was out to kill people. Duchovny’s character likened the situation to other assumed delusional people in the past who had similar […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect IF you’re looking for a high concentration of buzzards (and why you would be doing so, I have no idea), you might allegedly check the skies of East Lansing, Mich. After all, it’s only a matter of time, right? Ohio State went into their sty and rolled in their mud, […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Assuming Spring actually gets here for the majority of the country (30-degree temperatures in Alabama, snow in North Carolina, DOOM in the upper Midwest) and isn’t just some sort of cruel myth, college football practice will come with it. I motion at this point for it to be called “Extended […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect There’s a line in Jurassic Park spoken by Jeff Goldblum’s character, Dr. Ian Malcolm, that goes, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” The same could apply to college football recruiting. Monday, Rivals rolled out to the public […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect In the spirit of total conjecture and very little to base an opinion on, brought to you by whoever decided it was a good idea to put freaking Fritos on pizza at Papa John’s … you are given a Way Too Early Top 10, because … why not? The following […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Here’s your scenario: Girl gets home from work, sees boyfriend lying on couch watching television. Girl: What do you want to do tonight? So happy New Year’s Eve is on a Thursday. New Year’s Day is a Friday — it’s a three-day weekend! You wanna go to a NYE party […]

There’s a dark underside to just about every good thing in life. In the town with the fun, vibrant nightlife, it’s the unmarked club down a small alley where you need a password to get in; it’s the best restaurant in town, just as long as you don’t go in the kitchen and ruin it […]
