On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect College football is and always has been the Desperate Housewives of sports. Whereas most every other sport, professionally or not, is content to sit home in an apron, care for the house and kids, and get up and do it all over again without complaint, college football needs and […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect There are certainties in life that people always act on as though they are not certainties. Then they happen, and the world rests comfortably on its axis knowing that things aren’t changing in a few realms of the world: 1. When you argue with a woman, you’re going to […]
Chris Fowler is a legitimate superstar in the world of college football broadcasting. He has made College GameDay the juggernaut it is. Yet, one can love everything about Fowler and still watch Premier League Soccer or Masters 1000 tennis from Europe on fall mornings. Why? Because live games trump pregame shows and their chatter every single time.

Chris Fowler caused quite a stir this past Saturday. Anytime a central college football media figure steps into the ESPN-SEC conversation, the college football world pays attention. The Student Section editors are here to tackle this issue, and we’re happy to invite a special guest — TSS columnist Allen Kenney — to our roundtable. Before […]

Seven years ago, who would have thought that Michigan, Texas, USC, and Florida would have encountered such profound upheavals? Each of those programs has faced a coaching transition since the end of 2007. Two of those programs have already burned through multiple coaches in that period of time, and a third — Florida — will […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS at @TheStudentSect Way back in 1999, a different century ago, Freddie Prinze, Jr. starred in this movie “She’s All That” as a cool kid in school (SHOCKING ROLE FOR HIM) who was charged with turning a pretend-not-cute social outcast into a prom queen within a six-week time frame. It’s a […]

Usually I feature one game during my “Flashback Friday” column, but this week I thought it would be interesting to take a video look back at a famous rivalry that has lost a bit of luster. If you just became a fan of college football, you might not be familiar with the “Third Saturday in […]

It was born, in theory, out of good intentions. That is the most frustrating thing about the massive academic fraud situation that is took place for nearly two decades at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. That scandal, which involved thousands of students and student-athletes taking part in a “shadow curriculum” of paper classes within […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Like peering off into the distance and seeing the clouds whir by with a black sky on the horizon, sometimes, things are just easy to see coming. So you get that lawn cut just a little quicker than you otherwise would. When the College Football Playoff was created and […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect There’s a part in the Bible about the wailing and gnashing of teeth. The first thought that comes to your mind usually is, “Someone must have foreseen Pitbull’s music career taking off.” It’s actually about getting into heaven, or rather, not. But come December, it will be the reaction […]

Be sure to check out tBBC and Bloguin’s Penn State site, NittanyLionsDen, for coverage of this week’s Big Ten clash. * Let’s start this week with the big “upset,” where West Virginia hosted and halted the mighty Baylor offense in a Big […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect During the writing of this piece (which doesn’t take exceedingly long, mind you), Baylor will be flagged for 6 more pass interference penalties, Texas A&M will give up 30 points, and Bill Gates will make $295 times how many seconds it takes this to be finished. College football almost […]
Not even his fiercest critics can deny that Jameis Winston made a very strong statement in the Heisman Trophy race Saturday night. Winston’s virtually perfect second half is the best half of football from any skill player in the FBS this season if the weight of the occasion and the quality of the opponent are factored into the equation.

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect In about a 20-minute span on 10/19/2014, we learned everything about the college football season … and nothing at the same time. Florida State-Notre Dame will turn out to be one of those nights when you wake up the next morning with your buddies and you’re all in the […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect It was January of 2013, and you could see it then. Louisville and Florida were playing in the Sugar Bowl, and Louisville was going to win going away. Florida players were laying a few big hits here and there in a mostly done-with situation, celebrating like they were up […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect At this point in the season, we know things, more things than we knew a few months ago. Call it a college football mid term exam, where stumbling in smelling of Old Crow and Newports isn’t really an option. Mississippi State is really good. Michigan is really not. Dana […]
