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.

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

Rock, Chalk … Chrome?

Malzahn on point with Marshall punishment

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Some will call it stems and seeds of punishments considering the corresponding “crime” as it relates to Auburn’s normal protocol, but predictably (as said in this spot), Nick Marshall will be suspended for the beginning of the opening Arkansas game for a currently undetermined length of time … and you know what […]

Questions will always exist about whether or not a playoff in college football devalues […]

Clint Trickett has to apologize for people being too sensitive

So when you see a West Virginia QB apologizing to Deadspin on Twitter, you naturally think “man, something bad must have gone down.” Nope. All it really was turned out to be more Internet outrage from the Sensitive Police, who never take a day or preferably a lifetime off. Clint Trickett yesterday posted a joke […]
