As Charlie Strong tries to change the recent culture of the Texas Longhorns, a familiar face has been brought back into the fold. On Thursday it was announced that former star quarterback Vince Young was hired by Texas as a “development officer for program alumni relations.” This got me thinking about Young’s college career and […]

Michael Sam had already played his last down of college football when he publicly announced he was gay. Chip Sarafin of Arizona State has made yet another piece of history in American sports by becoming (what appears to be) the first openly gay college football player we know of. The story, in Compete magazine, is […]

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. If you’re ever looking for a “shooting a mosquito with an assault rifle” reaction about things, Twitter is normally the place for it. […]

Online gaming service Bovada yesterday put out a boatload of player prop bets for the upcoming college football season. These bets generally stink, offering odds wildly incommensurate to their level of risk. Will that stop anyone from playing them (for entertainment purposes only)? Of course not. Since you’re going to do it anyway, here are […]

There is one spot for the teams that aren’t in the Big 5 conferences to make a nationally relevant bowl game. Jerry Palm has it as the Peach Bowl, Phil Steele has it as the Fiesta Bowl. The game itself is up in the air, but there is one fact that doesn’t change: There is […]

Arizona State offensive tackle Chip Sarafin announced publicly today that he’s gay in an article published in Issu.com’s Compete magazine. Per
Rich Rodriguez now faces the central task of making sure his players don’t lose faith after a classic Arizona stomach-punch loss against USC. The one original Pac-10 member without a single Rose Bowl appearance has to stay the course. If it does, the Pac-12 South is still there for the taking. The winner of this division will probably have at least two conference losses by season’s end. Arizona can overcome just about any scoreboard obstacle, but the Wildcats’ offense needs to be able to score more than 13 points through three quarters at home. The Wildcats were stuck on 13 after 45 minutes in home games against California and USC. The Wildcats overcame the Golden Bears. They weren’t able to make one last kick against USC. Start-to-finish consistency on offense is what Rich Rod has to cultivate over the next month and a half.

Will Muschamp’s tenure at the University of Florida has been very up and down, and that can be tied directly to his ability, or inability, to make the right hire at offensive coordinator. Muschamp and athletic director Jeremy Foley backed up a Brinks truck. They made Charlie Weis the first offensive coordinator hire of the […]

Michigan Wolverines wide receiver Csont’e York was suspended earlier this month for a violation of team rules, but now we know the full reason why. York can be seen clearly knocking a guy out with one punch outside an Ann Arbor bar. MLive.com was able to get the footage through a Freedom of Information Act […]
