Blame Realignment. Or Derek Dooley. Or maybe Will Muschamp. Phil Fulmer? Actually, maybe it’s Lane Kiffin. Yeah, let’s just blame him. Whoever’s to blame, history will likely be made in next year’s Tennessee-Florida game, and unfortunately it’s not the good kind. That’s because for the first time since CBS picked up SEC broadcasting rights back […]

Welcome to this week’s edition of “Case of the Monday’s,” where we start by promising you… 1. No matter what happens, we will not discuss Jeremy Lin. We will not make any off the cuff remarks about his race. We won’t mention his Ivy League education. Nor will even mention his crazy basketball skill, which […]

Since the start of the 2009 season, it seems like the Florida and Texas football programs have been mirror images of each other. Both were at the top of the world in 2009. Both suffered embarrassing 2010 seasons. Each has seen major coaching turnover. And both needed some positive momentum to quell a growingly disenchanted […]

The hard-hearted Big East “terminated” West Virginia on Valentine’s Day. The move freed up the Mountaineers to officially move on to the Big 12, a conference that has seen its own fair share of break-ups in the last two years. Since the conference expansion ball got rolling, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M and Missouri have all […]

For the past week, Crystal Ball Run has been giving you all the big off-season storylines in the major college football conferences. Included were: the SEC, Big XII, Big Ten, ACC and the Big East. Tomorrow, we’ll wrap up with all the non-AQ schools. But today? It’s time to talk Pac-12. With a slew of […]

One of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite shows on TV, came to start Season 3 of How I Met Your Mother. In it, Ted and Robin had just broken up, and after spending a summer apart, Robin returned back to New York, with a new boyfriend in hand, Mr. Enrique Iglesias. When […]

Folks, the off-season is upon us, meaning that college football news is just…about…set…to slow down to a trickle. The champion has been crowned, Signing Day has come and gone, and we are still another few weeks away from Spring Ball kicking off. These are dire times to be a college football fan. Thankfully at Crystal […]

With Valentines Day a little over a week away, love is definitely in the air, and manifesting itself in truly weird ways. While you may have an affection for a friend, co-worker, or- as crazy as it sounds- maybe even your wife, there is one very public person, with a very serious crush on Alabama […]

It came out last week that West Virginia, which is expected to enter the Big 12 in the fall, had cancelled a non-conference series with Florida State. The fact that the Mountaineers backed out of the series doesn’t strike me as a huge deal. WVU is about to see its conference schedule pick up, and […]

Every Monday, either myself, or my co-managing editor Allen Kenney will look at the good, bad and sublime of the previous weekend in what we like to call “Case of the Mondays.” And today, as you groggily show up to work, we break it all down for you. From Madonna to Darren Rovell, Michelle Beadle […]

It’s always sad when the All-Star season ends, this year we’ve gone through all of the previous five game and will end this series with a sixth game this Saturday in Little Rock, Arkansas at the Player’s All-Star Classic will kick off for the first time ever. The Player’s All-Star Classic is being run by […]
