College basketball is, in the eyes of many Americans, a niche sport. Our internal traffic numbers here at The Student Section showed that in our first college sports cycle, basketball readership skyrocketed in March but didn’t remotely approach March levels in any other month before or since. At least in terms of content consumption (as […]

Mark Richt made the right decision to select Greyson Lambert as Georgia’s starting quarterback. The Bulldogs will be a better team this fall with Lambert under center because of his skills and experience. I realize that this point of view will raise a few eyebrows.

When Bill Callahan came to Nebraska as head coach midway through the first decade of the new century, Nebraska’s defense regularly surrendered video-game point totals. When Colorado posted 62 against Nebraska on Thanksgiving weekend in 2001, the result was hard to put into words… much like “Germany 7, Brazil 1.”

The shifts witnessed within the college football television industry — […]

The year 2016 is a leap year, with 29 days in February. The year 2015, as a college football television year, is a “Bo Jackson leap year” for the SEC and CBS. What could that term possibly mean, you ask? It’s actually very simple: Just as the calendar gains a day in a leap year, […]

Fans, bloggers, pundits — all of us — easily recognize head coaches. On a national level — beyond the realm of the local beat writer or the team-specific specialist — the people who cover college football from a distance will more immediately identify the face of a head coach than the face of an assistant.

As we prepare for a new FBS college football season, it’s worth looking at coaching once again, this time in the form of game management. One of the more remarkable aspects of the 2014 FBS season was that on multiple occasions — not just once — two highly-credentialed head coaches committed grade-school coaching errors… and […]
