Last Call: The Exorcism of Ann Arbor

On Twitter @TheCoachBart It’s hard to tell the exact moment the doctor pulled the sheet over the face of modern Michigan football and announced it DOA. Some would say it was the botched courtship of Les Miles-turned-hiring of Rich Rodriguez. Others would say it was that first losing season since Lyndon Johnson was in office, […]

Boise needs to find another Zabransky or Moore

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Well, suffice to say the last time Boise State had a coaching change, it went a little better. That year was 2006, and Chris Petersen was the new guy in charge. What ended up ensuing was the zenith of Boise State football to this date: an unbeaten year and a dramatic win […]

Cheers, to 2014 college football

On Twitter @TheCoachBart It was 1995, and a middle school kid in the heartland screwed up in school.

Eventually, Diesel and his pals need to sack up.

Muffed Punts: Apparently the season starts this week

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Last column of this sort before the season starts. It’s been a great tradition. All three of them so far and all. Traditions are funny things.

The assumption for kids is that […]

The Indispensables: 5 Players Teams Can’t Live Without

On Twitter @TheCoachBart In case you live under a rock, apparently Braxton Miller, all-world Ohio State quarterback, won’t be playing football again this year because of a re-bummed shoulder. All is not lost in Buckeye land, mostly because Urban Meyer coaches, and the only time you worry about an Urban Meyer coached team is when […]

Loss of talent has happened, but don’t freak out -Northwestern will be just fine.

Mark this down: Northwestern will be fine

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Breaking: Sources have told The Student Section that in the wake of running back Venric Mark’s decision to transfer, Northwestern has still decided to play football games this year. If you’re ever looking for a “shooting a mosquito with an assault rifle” reaction about things, Twitter is normally the place for it. […]

Like everyone else, Kansas has some new threads, and they’re shiny.

Rock, Chalk … Chrome?

The Kansas Jayhawks unveiled new uniforms today in a unique way … letting quarterback Michael Cummings casually stroll through the locker room wearing them to introduce to teammates according to the Kansas City Star. They even come with their own hashtag … #CrimsonChrome. The uniforms feature a red helmet with a giant Jayhawk as well […]
