Michigan fans are wrong to long for Rich Rod this morning

On Twitter @TheCoachBart A Michigan fan waking up this morning has to feel like the guy walking into a restaurant to see his ex-girlfriend 20 pounds lighter in a mini skirt with some guy that has a brand new Silverado, a better job, and is more attractive. Arizona football’s shocking upset of the Oregon Ducks […]

Your Conference Rankings: Week 5

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Well, we’re through another week and unlike your undergarments (I hope), not much is changing in this space. Last week was one of those when someone went through the candy bag at Halloween and took out all of the Sour Patch Kids and Reese’s Cups and left you mostly with Boston Baked […]

Heisman Dark Horses at the end of September

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Heisman dark horse columns are hard. Not hard in the sense of roofing a house in 95-degree weather for 12 hours a day, but hard in the sense that they don’t really exist anymore. Really, they don’t. The Heisman is almost certainly going to a player on a top 10-ish team or […]

Poll Dancing: Week 5

On Twitter @TheCoachBart There’s an old, stupid saying that goes, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” It’s pure BS, obviously, because most of what ends up killing us is what we originally don’t know. People used to think cigarettes were healthy and eugenics was a good idea. In Medieval times, people only bathed a […]

Kansas Is Not A Bad Job, And The Right Coach Can Win There

On Twitter @TheCoachBart * Wins Can Be Found In Kansas, Dorothy Kansas has a football job opening, and it’s a good job. Scoff if you must, but these are the breaks. If you’re looking for a shot to be great, the job is open, and the juice is worth the squeeze. Charlie Weis was fired […]

RIP, Brady Hoke era

On Twitter @TheCoachBart It was 1994, and it was just an early season game against Colorado. Some pre-teen Michigan fan was decked out, arguing with his mother about having to attend some mis-scheduled church function because normally, those don’t get scheduled when the Michigan game is on. This one would cause the kid to miss […]

Indiana’s upset is meaningless if it falls flat against Maryland

On Twitter @TheCoachBart There’s an old Seinfeld that goes in reverse order. It’s where Elaine and the gang go over to India to a friend (Sue Ellen Mischke) of Elaine’s wedding. Mischke appears in earlier episodes wearing no bra and causing a catastrophe to George’s car while he’s out dodging work but doesn’t want the […]

It’s a bad Saturday to learn anything about college football

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Disclaimer: Even terrible college football is better than no college football, so when it’s Saturday night and you want to watch some sports in June and your options are watching Major League Baseball or old, grainy tapes of your youth soccer games and the youth soccer games probably have to win out, […]

Your conference rankings, week 4

On Twitter @TheCoachBart The shakeup at the top doesn’t matter. It’s the bottom that does. That said, Florida State stands alone as the team with the best individual shot of being in the CFB playoff regardless of what its conference looks like. The Big Ten narrowed the chasm between itself and the rest of the […]

Michigan is resorting to odd things to keep that 100K plus attendance streak up, since it appears not that many folks want to go.

Need Michigan tickets? $3 for a pair.

Not only is Michigan bad at football, now they’re bad at filling the stands. Michigan has an impressive streak of packing the Big House with 100,000 plus but is in position to not lead the Big 10 in attendance in what seems like forever. So apparently they’ve resorted to giving away tickets for buying $3 […]

Poll Dancing: Week 4’s top 25

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Well, 25 percent of the season is over. You know what that means … absolutely nothing, really. We’re back with another poll, and this week’s theme is musical people from the state. Look people, we’ve got like 12 weeks of this. You know how difficult it is to theme it every week? […]

Oklahoma is to be reckoned with, friends

Folks, Oklahoma looks different. And like a pow wow of goth kids in a tree house, “different is cool.” Oklahoma runs the football, and the Sooners run the football with force, when they want, how they want, and when you know it’s coming. Call it a coming out party for Samaje Perine, who went for […]

Auburn? The Tigers Are In 2013 Form

On Twitter @TheCoachBart * Auburn Being Auburn Auburn is rapidly becoming the buddy you have that can take any piece of trash and somehow unlock your car door from the outside when you lock your keys inside it. If there are ways to be found, late, Auburn will find them. Sounds a lot like 2013, […]
