In spite of loss, Michigan breathes life back into The Game

0 comments by on 11/26/2016

Clarity is for the obtuse after a game like THE Game, 2016, which Ohio State walked away with a 30-27 overtime victory, but it can be found. If you’re a Michigan player, coach, or fan, the result was so breathtakingly close, so easily your game so many times, it seems like nothing positive can be […]

Three Points from Ohio State’s win over Wisconsin

0 comments by on 10/16/2016

In a game that had the feel of some sort of Big Ten semi-final tilt if there was such a thing, Ohio State outlasted Wisconsin in Camp Randall in overtime, 30-23. It could be a preview of the actual Big Ten Championship Game, but that’ll take some doing on both sides. At any rate, we […]

Urban Meyer, a superstar head coach and a national figure in college football, spoke at Big Ten Media Days on Monday in Chicago. Big Ten Network did not provide live coverage of his session with the media. ESPN deserves plenty of criticism for how it elevates the SEC and undercuts the levels of exposure it gives to conferences such as the ACC and Big 12. However, when BTN can’t provide live coverage of Meyer, Mark Dantonio, and the coaches of its other big-name programs, the collection of factors that feed into conference bias becomes a lot more complicated. It’s not just about ESPN loving the SEC too much; it’s about BTN and Pac-12 Networks being markedly inadequate when covering their own conferences. Conference bias is, in other words, a two-way street and a multi-source problem. ESPN’s competitors have to do a better job.

We’ve probably all been in a situation where we see or know someone who has a point they’re trying to get across, but they go to absurd levels to continue driving that point home. The CFB Playoff committee rankings, version 2.0 came out last night, and while it’s been said many times in this spot […]

Urban Meyer is deftly handling his quarterback situation

0 comments by on 10/21/2015

Choosing your quarterback is a lot like dating. First, you start out with a bunch of candidates. Some decide they’d be better off elsewhere. Some, you decide would be better off elsewhere. Eventually, you cull down to three or four that could potentially be the long-term solution. They weed themselves out for the most part, […]

Ohio State came into Michigan State’s house, sat down on the couch next to his girl, and started doing shots of whiskey with his arm around her while he sat across the room and fumed. Welcome to the playoff race, Ohio State. The Buckeyes wandered into […]

Ohio State-Penn State OT Thriller a portrayal of the emotion of college football

0 comments by on 10/26/2014

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Everything in the world is about two things: emotion and perspective. When Ohio State was mired in a corner bar fight with Penn State at the local dive only the Nittany Lions frequent, the easy thing to say was, “This is a referendum on how the Buckeyes are not […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect At this point in the season, we know things, more things than we knew a few months ago.

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect We’re sadly halfway through the season for most teams at this point, and for some, a week past it. We were all wrong about a lot.

Ohio State – Navy Reaction: Buckeyes Still a Contender in the Big Ten

0 comments by on 8/30/2014

Despite its lackluster showing against Navy, Ohio State proved that it’s still a contender for Big Ten – and possibly national championship – honors this fall. Make no mistake about it: the Buckeyes were far from perfect today. Navy’s ground game dominated this contest at times, rushing for 370 yards and an average of 5.9 […]
