Navy just defeated Army and now has a very short turnaround for the Poinsettia Bowl, with quarterback Keenan Reynolds at less than 100 percent (hamstring). Navy bagged a winning season and increased its winning streak over Army to 13 games. A bowl result won’t radically reshape the way this season is remembered in Annapolis.

Two nights earlier, Florida State concluded its first season with five or more losses since 1983. It was a great time to be a Miami Hurricane. The U […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect If you really get to thinking about it, there’s very little logic in fabled kids’ fairy tales. Take, for instance, Little Red Riding Hood. While yeah, it’s an all-time classic, there’s never any thought process about the absurd decision making throughout it. Never has a story been written with such […]

The fifth anniversary of Nebraska leaving the Big 12 for the Big Ten apparently gave editors everywhere the same idea, as a slew of conference realignment retrospectives from football writers came out yesterday. Not surprisingly, one of them from Stewart Mandel of FOX Sports took the ever-popular “winners and losers” angle. It’s an odd exercise […]
