With the NBA Combine (and lottery) done with for another season, some guys have moved up (and down) draft boards. I am reluctant to change too much given that I think years of data, stats, and scouting should outweigh a weekend, but I do think that seeing how some guys are likely to be used […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Sometimes, things just fit into place. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t sneeze as I typed the headline to this. At any rate, Florida State finds itself in an enviable position., The Everett Golson Irish Flight Tour 2015 made its final stop in Tallahassee and decided that was […]
Scenario: Chaos ensues in the Pac-12. Florida State gets ambushed. It’s 11-1 TCU versus 11-1 Alabama for the fourth playoff spot. Alabama might deserve the bid, but the TSS editors agree: If the Crimson Tide get the nod, they need to get the nod because they’ve earned more on the field, not because the wear the Alabama brand name and carry the SEC label. Reputation-based, television-friendly selections that diminish a less prominent team’s body of work would send a chilling message through the non-SEC precincts of the college football community.

Jimbo Fisher and Nick Saban are two of the best coaches in college football, and their paychecks reflect that. Each has won a national championship in the last three years. Both their teams made the inaugural College Football Playoff last season. You’d think both would be pretty content with where the sport is right now. […]

The coming college basketball season has finalized a schedule for the latest Big 12-SEC Challenge. Naturally, the fact that Kentucky and Kansas will meet is the headline story from the event. Wildcats-Jayhawks might receive more publicity than any other non-conference game on the road to the 2016 NCAA Tournament. John Calipari, Bill Self, and two […]

In February, the college basketball community said a long and heartfelt goodbye to Dean Smith, who later surprised his players with the beautiful gesture of giving them $200 to enjoy a dinner. Smith’s imprint — on life, basketball, and the University of North Carolina — was so large that he’ll continue to be talked about […]

North Carolina Central under head coach LaVelle Moton has absolutely owned the MEAC as of late. They have won the league’s regular season title in two of the previous three seasons, and lost just two conference games in three years. Unfortunately, they’ve been to just one NCAA tournament in that time. Last year, despite going […]

Follow us on Twitter @TheStudentSect Ann Arbor’s Aerial Assault (A4 from here on out) sounds more like a vengeful female superhero video game than anything football related, but it might end up being the wave of the future in college recruiting if you have the opportunity to put something like that together. Consider it the modern […]

He won’t be around until the fall of 2016, but elite point guard Tyus Battle’s decision to commit to John Beilein and Michigan could signal the start of a seismic shift in the future of not just Michigan basketball, but basketball in the Big 10 and around the country.

We are all weak and imperfect beings. Regarding the biannual what’s wrong with college basketball columns: I swore there would be no caving on my end, and that I would not write any more than absolutely necessary, but it looks as though a trip to church to confess some sins might be in order. Here […]

The date was October 18, 2014. Down by four, Everett Golson engineered a drive with under three minutes left that brought Notre Dame near the Florida State goal line. The fierce Doak Campbell Stadium crowd screamed at the top of its lungs for the Seminoles defense to step up. Golson took the snap and quickly tossed […]

With the 2015 NFL Draft in the books, it’s fun to take a look at who might be the top pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. There is a lot of football to be played and a lot of scouts minds to be changed due to Combine numbers (and other factors) but let us take […]
