Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect To be frank, making definitive arguments on who won or lost National Signing Day is idiotic. It’s impossible … even armed with a militia of psychologists … to determine the futures of teenagers entering college and projecting their success on a football field. It’s far more asinine than even grading […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect National Signing Day is like going to vote. You have a bunch of people who think it matters and we should be paying full attention because it’s a harbinger of things to come … and a bunch of other people who think it’s meaningless. So annually, I do this just […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Back in 2004 on Feb. 4, something happened which changed the course of modern humankind. Mark Zuckerberg founded something called Facebook. At the time, Facebook was genius. It started out I think as needing a .edu e-mail address to be on it, so it seemed less creepy than MySpace. It […]

Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Something will happen this offseason to force us to pay attention. I will guess five things. You will hopefully read. 5. The Pac-12 Arms Race: The Pac is finally getting the respect it deserves, a routine and genuine conversation for prettiest girl in the club. Bowl season helped the league […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart There’s an old country song by Alan Jackson that goes, “too much of a good thing … is a good thing.” It defies the logic that “there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.” Alan Jackson obviously was ahead of his time and talking […]

Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart The 137th episode of Seinfeld is called The Bizarro Jerry, where Kramer gets a real job (or at least goes to work at one), Elaine breaks up with a guy who is totally cool and just being friends, and George dates a woman who’s beautiful enough to get him into […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Well, we’ve come and gone through one year of the CFB Playoff, and we survived to tell about it. Some of the myths were debunked … like folks not tuning into the regular season with as much fervor … but we learned a lot this year. Most of […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart The world has now had a day to digest the finality of the first College Football Playoff, which ended with an Ohio State championship. You’ve probably read a healthy amount about those Buckeyes … and rightfully so. This will never happen again, a third-string quarterback coming off the […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart You look at that headline and you probably roll your eyes. Look at this site, pandering for clicks! Not so much. Like 19 people read my columns, so flashing headlines, hyperbole, or “smoldering takes” aren’t really a good schtick. The truth of the reality is, the headline might […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Sometime in the fourth quarter of the 2015 Rose Bowl, I made the mistake of getting on Twitter for a second. I like to know if I’ve missed anything, mostly news wise, while I was doing things more important than hanging out on the Internet for three hours. Bad mistake. […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect The 2015 Sugar Bowl was basically the milk and bread aisle at the grocery store the day prior to the first snow/ice storm, and if you live in a place where snow/ice storms are possible, you know exactly what I’m talking about. This joint had it all. An absurd last […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Well, the dream is dead. Auburn lost, and thus, the world is not treated to a free Bloomin’ Onion tomorrow at Outback Steakhouse. Team Coconut Shrimp won (Wisconsin). They always say the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and unless you were a Wisconsin […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart It was around this time last year when we all knew what was coming down the pike with certain teams. Oklahoma had just wasted Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, and basically, three things became totally obvious and fool proof … 1. Oklahoma was going to ride this momentum […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart They always say the two guys you have to worry the most about in a fight are the one with nothing to lose and the one who’s the most drunk, unable to feel normal pain and in full use of his “beer muscles.” If they happen to be […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author on Twitter @TheCoachBart Thomas Wolfe was wrong. You can, actually, go home again. Wolfe’s novel in 1940, published posthumously, was titled You Can’t Go Home Again, which makes sense considering the content, but wasn’t written with any futuristic inkling of Michigan football and Jim Harbaugh. It what has been […]
