Michigan nation welcoming uncertainty with the resignation of Dave Brandon

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect In a press conference that basically resembled running back into the house to put on lip gloss before going back out on the way to the club, Michigan announced that Athletic Director Dave Brandon was out today by virtue of a resignation. Though Michigan’s public affairs group will put […]

Jameis Winston

Smoking a Winston: Jameis shows still why he’s the best. Deal with it.

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow on TSS @TheStudentSect Sorry, scribes. Florida State is still unbeaten. Jimbo Fisher, Jameis Winston, the whole lot of them. And you know what? They might just win the whole damn thing again before it’s all over. Down 21-0 to Louisville and their statistically top shelf defense, blood was in the water. […]

In the Todd Gurley saga, everyone ends up winning

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Type in any old news site and you’ll see a pretty nice laundry list of things not going right. Hell, look out your window, you might see it. But every now and then, things go the way they’re supposed to and for the most part, we look the other […]

Your preview of tonight’s first CFB Playoff rankings

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect College football is and always has been the Desperate Housewives of sports. Whereas most every other sport, professionally or not, is content to sit home in an apron, care for the house and kids, and get up and do it all over again without complaint, college football needs and […]

Poll Dancing: Playoff edition 4

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect There are certainties in life that people always act on as though they are not certainties. Then they happen, and the world rests comfortably on its axis knowing that things aren’t changing in a few realms of the world: 1. When you argue with a woman, you’re going to […]

Rest in Peace, Michigan football, for now

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow @TheStudentSect I’m about to break one of my few rules of writing about sports: giving an opinion after watching an event you care about without sleeping on it first. But hell, here we go. Everyone who roots for anything has a story. It’s never really that hard to pinpoint why we […]

LSU Remains LSU, and Ole Miss no longer remains unbeaten

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect At some point in the night, Les Miles is going to go home, tap his pet cobra on the head, then go back behind the shed, find his burlap sack, and make sure he still has a little of that LSU black magic in it. It what will undoubtedly […]

She’s All That. And Just Maybe, so is Ohio State

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS at @TheStudentSect Way back in 1999, a different century ago, Freddie Prinze, Jr. starred in this movie “She’s All That” as a cool kid in school (SHOCKING ROLE FOR HIM) who was charged with turning a pretend-not-cute social outcast into a prom queen within a six-week time frame. It’s a […]

Bo Pelini was right about ESPN And the SEC, but hopefully it won’t matter

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Like peering off into the distance and seeing the clouds whir by with a black sky on the horizon, sometimes, things are just easy to see coming. So you get that lawn cut just a little quicker than you otherwise would. When the College Football Playoff was created and […]

Like it or not, here comes the B1G

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect There’s a part in the Bible about the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The first thought that comes to your mind usually is, “Someone must have foreseen Pitbull’s music career taking off.” It’s actually about getting into heaven, or rather, not. But come December, it will be the reaction […]

Poll Dancing: Playoff Edition No. 2

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect During the writing of this piece (which doesn’t take exceedingly long, mind you), Baylor will be flagged for 6 more pass interference penalties, Texas A&M will give up 30 points, and Bill Gates will make $295 times how many seconds it takes this to be finished. College football almost […]

Not even his fiercest critics can deny that Jameis Winston made a very strong statement in the Heisman Trophy race Saturday night. Winston’s virtually perfect second half is the best half of football from any skill player in the FBS this season if the weight of the occasion and the quality of the opponent are factored into the equation.

Florida State and Notre Dame Are two of the four best teams in college football

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect In about a 20-minute span on 10/19/2014, we learned everything about the college football season … and nothing at the same time. Florida State-Notre Dame will turn out to be one of those nights when you wake up the next morning with your buddies and you’re all in the […]
