Nick Saban and Les Miles. Both are regarded as premiere football coaches. Saban the former LSU head coach, versus the current, Miles. Jim Hawthorne- who has now been the “Voice of the Tigers” for 30 years- knows full well (and better than most) what type of coaches Saban and Miles are. He took the time […]

Let’s take a break from drowning in hype for this Saturday’s LSU-Alabama game to ponder a scenario even more likely to blow up to mammoth proportions. I’m talking, of course, about Paul Finebaum’s wet dream, a rematch in the BCS Championship Game. There are two clear schools of thought on this. One side contends that […]

I don’t know if A.J. McCarron is a regular listener to the podcast that Allen Kenney and I do here at Crystal Ball Run every Sunday night, but if he is, well, I’m guessing he might not be the biggest fan. That’s because whenever Allen and I tape those podcast,s at some point the conversation […]

Some are calling it the “Matchup of the Century.” Others, “Saban Bowl V.” And still some, “The Game That May End the World As We Know It.” Whatever your preference, Saturday night, in Tuscaloosa is not only the biggest regular season game in years, but maybe in decades.

With the playoffs just around the corner and all the cupcake games out of the way, now is the time we find out which teams are for real and which teams are just playing around. This past weekend was gut-check time for eight FCS opponents, as they went head to head with not just playoff […]

As I joked here at Crystal Ball Run yesterday, Friday night’s TCU-BYU affair provided none of the pregame excitement, hoopla or intrigue that it did just two years ago. In 2009 each team entered the game in the Top 20, each would finish with at least 11 wins, and both were piloted by a guy […]

Few men have done more, and been a part of a larger number of big moments in Michigan State football history than Jim Miller. A former State quarterback, he spent 11 years in the NFL, and is now back in East Lansing as a color commentator for Spartans football. In this edition of Five Burning […]

Our staff has submitted their Week 9 picks, and there has never been more disagreement! Which writers like Tennessee over South Carolina to shake-up the SEC East race? Who expects Illinois to lay a smack-down at Penn State? Which brave sole has Lane Kiffin and the USC Trojans pulling an upset for the second week […]
