Just like that, Michigan could be one game from a Big Ten title shot

0 comments by on 11/21/2015

If you’d have said Michigan would be in position to win a Big Ten title back in August, you’d have been labeled a Harbaugh Happy Homer. The author knows this, because he lived it. Because of it, these are strange bedfellows this college football makes. Michigan will be relegated to “rooting” for arch enemy Ohio […]

Iowa Clinches the West, but Bigger Prizes Await

0 comments by

This Iowa story just keeps going. Head coach Kirk Ferentz was squarely on the hot seat coming into this season, but no longer. An afterthought coming into 2015, all the Hawkeyes have done is win with defense, balance, and solid leadership under center. Game, by game, by game. As for that hot seat? It has […]

Big Ten Steak and Eggs – Thoughts for Week 12

0 comments by

You know what they say; breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If that’s true, then maybe getting your Big Ten football fix first thing Saturday morning will get your metabolism going to grind through all the college football action in the heartland. So pull up a chair, grab a fork and let’s […]

If they mated: Big Ten vs. SEC Challenge

0 comments by

Bret Bielema might be brilliant. That’s how you start off a column right there. It’s either, “I must keep reading because this is destined to be the most idiotic thing I’ve ever read” or “okay, go on …” Bielema rolled out his latest version of “saying things people might be thinking, but knowing enough that […]

It’s Friday, which means its time for me to tell you what you need to know for this Saturday’s games. Here’s a list of thoughts, observations, and things to watch for in week 12. I don’t know what to make of this weekend’s slate of games. Sure, there are some fantastic tilts on the schedule, […]

20 for 20: week 11 (and lots of numbers from New Mexico-Boise State)

0 comments by

The Boise State Broncos have not enjoyed their 2015 season, given its spectacular implosions against Utah State and now New Mexico. Yet, Bryan Harsin’s team has certainly given football the most remarkable box scores of the season, box scores which legitimately rate as some of the most unique numerical collections in the sport’s history. Here […]

D-III coach Nick Johnson goes 0-10, wins coach of the year for off-field efforts

0 comments by Harry Lyles Jr.

Earlham College’s head coach Nick Johnson is the perfect example of “it’s not all about wins and losses.” The first year head coach finished 0-10, and won the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. Earlham College is a Division III school located in Richmond, Indiana. Johnson’s peers would tell you that despite his […]

UCLA’s Deon Hollins reprimanded by Pac-12 after being critical of officials

0 comments by Harry Lyles Jr.

Surprise surprise, the Pac-12 is involved in another story with its officiating crews, but this time, it isn’t the officials that are directly involved. Deon Hollins, a linebacker at UCLA, was reprimanded for comments he made about the conference’s officials after the Bruins’ game against the Washington State Cougars. Hollins felt that he was held […]

The ideal college football schedule: week 12

0 comments by

The ideal college football schedule is just that: an ideal, far off in the distance. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, UGH! It’s that kind of a college football schedule this Saturday, a real gut-punch for fans of the sport on a national level. Let me tell you a little bit about myself, just so […]

LSU-Ole Miss is a story of hellfire and passion

0 comments by

Even since our case study about LSU’s November swoon on Tuesday, the heat on Les Miles has ratcheted up considerably, with the Baton Rouge paper claiming he’s “coaching for his job” Saturday in Oxford. Like the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry needed any more fire. Championship aspirations are (likely) out the window for both teams on Saturday, but […]

0 comments by

Rooting interests go beyond the rivalries which will be staged the next two weeks. Let’s see how they stack up. If you have seen our Bubble Watch here at The Student Section, you will remember that we still count 15 teams with a chance at making the College Football Playoff. Some of those teams will […]

Oklahoma State’s history tour moves from 2011 to 2013

0 comments by

Last Saturday, the Oklahoma State Cowboys avoided a repeat of history, specifically from the 2011 season. They escaped Ames, Iowa, with a win against Iowa State, something they couldn’t do four years ago. This Saturday, Oklahoma State steps into another time machine. Again, the Cowboys don’t have to travel very far into the past — […]
