In the battle of the new Jim’s, all the feel good exists Jimmy’s got it wired, law’s for hire Got it make in the shade Got a little hideaway, does business all day But at night he’ll always be found Selling sugar to the sweet People on the street Call this Jimmy’s town – Dr. […]

Baylor puts an end to its bowl frustrations against North Carolina

0 comments by on 12/29/2015

Frustrations can either linger or be expunged. One team knew what to do with its frustrations as 2015 came to a close. * The Baylor Bears went to Orlando, the site of DisneyWorld, on a business trip, not a pleasure cruise. Art Briles and his program felt the sting of a high-profile bowl setback each […]

Chip Kelly and college football: a little more made for each other than the NFL

0 comments by

No one knows exactly when the NFL turned into the Hudson Terrace with its coaches, but Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly has presumably cleaned out his office less than a calendar year after getting a promotion (in terms of responsibility) after two 10-6 seasons to start his NFL career. The firing was stunning both in […]

Armed Forces Bowl: Jared Goff declares his readiness for the NFL

0 comments by

The California Golden Bears didn’t get everything they wanted this season, but they did make a bowl game, marking a modest but real step forward for the program. The man at the heart of this improvement project in Berkeley was Jared Goff. He dazzled in September, especially when he rang up 45 points on a […]

Notre Dame, Ohio State, 1935, and a history with few intersections

0 comments by

Notre Dame. Ohio State. Two longtime Midwestern powers. The Fiesta Bowl, located in the suburbs of Phoenix, could not ask for a better matchup, given that the desert metropolis is a magnet for residents of the Midwest, in much the same way that Florida cities attract New Yorkers and other residents of the urban Northeast. […]

In the late 1970s, Houston and Florida State both began to flourish

0 comments by

Houston and Florida State will play in the 2015 Peach Bowl, a New Year’s Six game. The pairing feels odd in many ways, chiefly because Houston hasn’t played a bowl of this stature in 30 years. The fact that the Cougars reside in a lower-tier conference also makes the event feel smaller than it should. […]

Calling a shot: Michigan State will defeat Alabama. That is all.

0 comments by

Michigan State will defeat Alabama in football in the second CFB Playoff game on Dec. 31, 2015. That’s it. That’s the opening line. No jokes, entertaining lead-ins, or crazy statistics that you accept at face value because it’d be too tough to research it and make it up. The Spartans are underdogs, mostly because the […]

Connor Cook’s Huge Blunders in the Biggest Wins of His Career

0 comments by

We have noticed a trend. It’s probably a meaningless confluence of circumstances. Sometimes trends are meaningful statistics, sometimes they are fun facts, and sometimes they are just huge coincidences. This is almost certainly the latter, but it is something to bear in mind as we look ahead to Michigan State’s playoff game against Alabama in […]

Record roasting do-everything quarterback for Navy, Keenan Reynolds, is one of the five that cannot be afforded to be lost to their teams.

Keenan Reynolds and Navy go out on top

0 comments by on 12/28/2015

It is so easy to emphasize the negative in life, and this could have been the case for Keenan Reynolds and Navy heading into the Military Bowl on Monday afternoon against Pittsburgh. Navy did not win the American Athletic Conference’s West Division. It did not get to play in the first AAC Championship Game. It […]

North Carolina, Baylor, and a year of championships

0 comments by

As the North Carolina Tar Heels and Baylor Bears prepare to meet in the Russell Athletic Bowl — one of the more attractive matchups of the bowl season — it’s worth recalling a time when both schools stood tall. * The previous two seasons, Baylor won the Big 12 Conference, but North Carolina had not […]

TSS Bowl Grades: December 19-26

0 comments by

Thanks to the wonders of television and a natural inability to sleep, I have been able to see an inordinate amount of college football this bowl season. I’m not complaining about it one bit. After watching almost the entirety of just about every bowl game (I might have missed a few plays here or there […]
