Mel Tucker is connected to Michigan State and its history

What I didn’t know until Michigan State hired him in Wednesday’s surprise announcement was the Saban coaching tree with a Mel Tucker branch sprouted from Michigan State.

Mark Dantonio took Spartans places others (including Saban) failed to reach
“Thanks for everything you’ve done.” That’s what I told Mark Dantonio in the summer of 2015 when I brought him a copy of “Raye of Light” at the Duffy Daugherty Building.

Georgia Tech’s over-scheduling Georgia and Notre Dame were always going to be on Georgia Tech’s schedule, but what’s the point of having UCF there too?

49ers in Miami for Super Bowl LIV triple-play for John Lynch
John Lynch is a double-header guy, but his circumstances surrounding the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV are beyond fitting for the former football/baseball professional athlete and Stanford letterman in both sports. As the 49ers’ third-year general manager, he has the rebuilt 49ers in their first Super Bowl since the 2012 season. And a …

The constant SEC best conference in college football gets beat in our heads so much it can make fans of schools outside the SEC sick. The media latches on and whether it’s true or not, we hear it year after year. During the middle part of the 2010s, when this tired refrain got going, one …
