Give credit to the powers that be in college football: They won’t make the same mistake twice. That’s because after all the controversy that surrounded the first LSU-Alabama game during the 2011 season, there will be no such drama in 2012. The SEC’s two best teams will play at night, in Baton Rouge, in CBS’s […]

We continue “Heisman Week” here at Crystal Ball Run with one of the most important positions in the Heisman Trophy race – Running Back. In the history of the Heisman Trophy Award the winner has more often than not come down to a running back or quarterback. In fact running backs have won the award […]

They say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, and in the case of the Duke football program, that’s especially true. When you’ve won a total of 11 games in the last three years (for comparison’s sake, four teams from the SEC won 11 games last year alone) it’s never a bad thing when you’re […]

We have now officially reached the doldrums of the college football calendar, where up is down, left is right, and the only thing passing for “news” these days is when a bunch of bloated (literally and figuratively) athletic directors get together in a secluded room, argue for eight hours, then spend the rest of the […]

Cover any sport and you come across weird stories. After a while, you think you’ve seen it all, heard it all, and that there is literally nothing that can surprise you. And it’s usually at that point which a story comes along that is so bizarre you think to yourself, “Man, that’s so strange, even […]

Although the Iowa Hawkeyes limped to a somewhat disappointing 7-6 season in 2011, it’s hard to blame starting quarterback James Vandenberg for many of their problems. With a revolving door at running back, and the departure of the Hawkeyes best receiver from 2010 (Darrell Johnson-Koulianos), Vandenberg still managed to throw for over 3,000 yards in […]

Think the college football news cycle stops because it’s a holiday weekend? Think again. Because while you were stuffing another hot dog down your gullet this Memorial Day, a major transfer- one which could shake up the entire Big XII title race- hit the newswire. That player was TCU’s Ed Wesley, a key cog in […]

Whoever said there aren’t any interesting storylines in college football’s off-season has clearly never paid close attention to the SEC, where even the smallest of sentences, and can the biggest reactions. And we certainly had a case of that this week, when new Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin responded to some, ahem, not-so-friendly comments Florida […]

An interesting little nugget came across the newswire yesterday, when it was announced by THE Ohio State University that over the next two years, they plan on outfitting every student-athlete at the school with an iPad. The initiative, a part of the Digital First program, will start by giving out 500 this fall, and should […]

Wanna get away? No, we’re not talking about the old Southwest Airlines tagline, but instead what many high school football recruits around the Southeast are saying as we head into Memorial Day weekend. The preferred destination for most: Auburn University, for the fourth annual “Big Cat Weekend.” What is “Big Cat Weekend?” Well, it’s just […]
