Home is where the heart is… or it could simply be where you come from. For heavy Heisman Trophy favorite Marcus Mariota, home is Honolulu, Hawaii. The finalists for the Heisman Trophy Award were announced on Monday: Mariota, Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon, and Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper. The trio’s trip to New York […]

What a difference three weeks make. When Kansas fell to Kentucky by 32 points over three weeks ago, and the Wildcats blocked as many shot attempts as the Jayhawks saw go through the net, panic for this reloaded Kansas squad set in. However, victories over Rhode Island, Tennessee and Florida at home; over Michigan State […]

When Texas A&M and West Virginia were announced as Liberty Bowl opponents, you probably perked up a little bit with the thought of the points that would be put up on the score board. Another interesting sub plot is that Texas A&M offensive coordinator Jake Spavital came up under Dana Holgersen. After the game was […]
The coaching situation at Wisconsin has undeniably changed the way the Outback Bowl against Auburn is (and should be) perceived. That’s an occasional fact of life in bowl games: coaching changes do alter the calculus.

In the final installment of the 2014 Bloguin Heisman Poll, TSS associate editor Bart Doan chose Jameis Winston as the winner on his ballot. It’s an against-the-grain choice… and this country was built on against-the-grain choices in places such as Boston Harbor and Valley Forge. (This sounds like something the late, great Beano Cook would […]

Our top five vote-getters from last week’s poll were all in action on Championship Weekend. Even though these five players battled all year long, a great performance this weekend could put them over the top with the voters. With three players (Marcus Mariota, Melvin Gordon and Amari Cooper) playing in championship games, they had a […]

Duke’s Tyus Jones might have been knocked around at times on Tuesday night against Michigan State, but when you’ve just scored a basket in a game you significantly altered for the better, who has time to feel pain? Jones and his Duke teammates had a lot of fun — they showcased their offensive skills, which were too much for the Spartans.

Although it was not hyped to the level of last year’s freshman class, this year’s crop of recruits had plenty of star power, and plenty of guys predicted for immediate stardom. Virtually every major publication tabbed Duke’s Jahlil Okafor as preseason national player of the year, and plenty of places tabbed Arizona freshman Stanley Johnson […]

Bowl games — as finished products — are the creations of a jumble of factors: politics, rules, television considerations, ticket sales, hotel reservations, and more. Some teams receive the kinds of placements that check all the boxes, while others get shut out. Which teams received the best bowl assignments in terms of either travel, opponent, […]

For others, it’s an urgent occasion, a chance to salvage something previously unclaimed from September through November. For others, it’s a chance […]

Part of any bowl guide has to give you a number of players you won’t regret focusing on, even at the expense of other players; other bowls (when there’s overlap between games); or most of all, other social engagements during the holiday season. Here’s one top-10 list from TSS editors Bart Doan and Matt Zemek, […]

Kudos to the University of Arkansas Fort Smith for organizing this event. It looked like it was a lot of fun for the fans and of course it was for a great cause…. Watch as 5,000 toys were thrown onto the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith court last night.
