Stidham, Baylor make the right call on transfer decision

Whatever road there is back to normalcy for Baylor, be it long or be it short, will be done sans quarterback Jarrett Stidham in what may prove to be one of the seminal moments in Bear football futures as he was officially released from the school on Monday after declaring his intention to transfer earlier […]

Pokes look to put bitter end to 2015, disrespect out of mind

You ever eat or drink something terrible and wake up the next morning with the worst of breath and a nagging stomach ache? No? You’re not going to the right restaurants for dinner. At any rate, if there’s any team waking up to 2016 with morning mouth, it’s Oklahoma State. Generally speaking, 2015 doesn’t matter, […]

Arkansas the latest victim of the ole early scheduling craze

So … what’re you doing in 7 years? If you think that sounds preposterous to have to answer, you’re probably in the camp that finds it preposterous when “news breaks” about college football titans scheduling games years in advance. The ensuing five minutes of buzz wears off when you realize that you’ll be gray with bad […]

Led by a strong junior class, look out for UConn (football). They’re coming

No, you’re not about to read a basketball article. Kevin Ollie won’t be mentioned other than on this line. This is not a drill. It is intentional. If you’ve forgotten about UConn football since their Fiesta Bowl appearance in 2011, you can probably be forgiven. There’s been a steady stream of down turn since Randy […]

TSS Top 50: No. 46 Kansas State Wildcats

College football, alcohol, are a working relationship

College football and booze have been a staple of college campuses since college football and booze co-existed. Up until a few years ago, though, they always diverged when the actual ball was kicked off. Now, over 40 college football stadiums will at least sell beer going into the 2016 season, and the marriage is a fruitful […]

Baylor-Briles leak confusing and damaging to recovery

If you want to get technical about it, Art Briles has not been fired. Such is the world of red tape, even at green and gold Baylor. Briles was officially “suspended with intent to terminate,” which is the college football version of your girlfriend saying, “I think we need some time away.” It’s a ham […]

Ole Miss now waits on NCAA after releasing NOA

Ole Miss waits in the retroactive crosshairs of the NCAA Depending on which side of the fence you live on, Ole Miss releasing the Notice of Allegations from the NCAA and subsequent self-imposed penalties is a sigh of relief that it wasn’t worse, or justification that “those cheatin’ Rebels finally got theirs, and it’s only […]

Josh Rosen should ease up on the public displays of opinion and listen to his coach

When your college football coach compares you to a former Heisman Trophy winning freshman quarterback, you would take it as the highest of compliments. On the other hand, when that quarterback is Johnny Manziel, there could be a double meaning. Over the last two weeks, UCLA quarterback and a Heisman contender in his own right […]

Aaron Moorehead gets ripped for giving an opinion? Surprise

EMU’s happy medium is in the FCS

About 6 miles east of the biggest stadium in college football and a program that peppers the news almost daily when it comes to college football stories, they are discussing dropping the sport altogether. A report issued by students and faculty last Friday to the Eastern Michigan Board of Regents called for a dropping of […]

Big Ten-Fox deal a winner for both sides

There’s nothing like having a smooth $1.5 billion in your pocket, at least I’d assume. If you ever get there, good on you. Fox and the Big Ten agreed to a $250 million annual deal for the next six years, as well as half of the league’s media rights, allowing the network to broadcast 25 […]
