Oklahoma came in to 2014 losing its top two running backs last season, who combined for 1,500 yards. Having a 5-star […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Countless columns of mine start out like this, but there was this Seinfeld episode once upon a time where Kramer had a hideously annoying red head girlfriend who goes and heckles Jerry at one of his shows and throws him off a bit. Jerry, incensed, plots to partake in the ultimate comedian’s […]
Brady Hoke has worn this look of concern for the past few seasons. He needs to find answers in Ann Arbor… but it’s not as though he’s the only person to blame for Michigan’s problems.

Over the last few years I have been somewhat critical of Michigan head coach Brady Hoke. I feel my criticisms have been justified based on the results the Wolverines have been putting together on the field since his arrival, and I feel this is a very important season for Hoke in Ann Arbor.

The most precise answer at the present time is that we just don’t know. That’s […]

Winning the Rose Bowl will change the way in which a program is perceived. It can certainly give a head coach the freedom to speak boldly about his team and announce to the world that the past no longer matters.

Media days are winding down. Coaches are preparing to get to camp and whip their teams into shape for the coming season. It’s time for college football to move from media rooms to the practice field.

A third of a century ago, in 1981, college football wasn’t televised wall-to-wall on Saturdays. The courts had not yet busted open the television landscape, changing forever the way Americans consumed college football as a product… and the ways in which broadcasters presented the product over the airwaves. Therefore, while media coverage of college football has […]

With Big Ten Media Days beginning today in Chicago, it’s time to discuss Jim Delany’s conference. The Student Section’s Big Ten roundtable will be presented in two parts. Today, we’ll focus on the heavyweights in the league. Tomorrow, in part two, we’ll tackle the newcomers (Maryland and Rutgers) and the topic of divisional realignment. For […]

By Bart Doan On Twitter @TheCoachBart Like the kid that goes home for the summer in middle school and comes back 6 inches taller in the fall (back when kids actually used to go back to school in the fall and not basically right after Independence Day), Michigan State grew up a lot last year. […]

Sometimes, Locker articles require a little bit of explanation. However, this one speaks for itself: Oregon QB Marcus Mariota will be pretty focused on football this fall. His final 2 courses for credit this fall? Golf & yoga. — Ted Miller (@TedMillerRK)
