Through seven weeks of the college football season, there are a few certainties we’ve come to accept. We’ve come to accept that by the end of the year, Alabama’s defense may end up hospitalizing more people than the flu. We’ve come to accept that after every offensive series, Florida offensive coordinator Charlie Weis will need […]

Down 35 to 17 in the third quarter – the viewing audience and a cringing Clemson fan base were relegated to “Clemson being Clemson” yet again. But insert super freshman Sammy Watkins into the formula, and out comes a very different football team. The 2011 version of the Clemson Tigers are for real. You have […]

I couldn’t be any colder if you packed me in ice, shipped me to Antarctica and showed me naked pics of Rosanne Barr. Last week: 0-5 (I technically won the LSU game, but I had it in a parlay with Iowa) Overall: 9-18-1 Really incredible to think how bad I am doing right now. But […]

Hard to believe, but we are now seven full weeks into the college football season. Here are the Crystal Ball Run Week 7 staff picks, including why a few writers like Baylor to pull an upset at Texas A&M, and why Vontaze Burfict (pictured above), is coming for YOU, Darron Thomas.

Full-disclosure, I’m a little bit of a sports media dork. While you were busy growing up worshipping people like Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Rebecca Lobo (ok, maybe not the last one), I always found people like Keith Jackson, Michael Wilbon and Bill Raftery far more fascinating. (In a related note, that’s also probably why […]

It took 13 months for the NCAA to finally release its findings into the Auburn football program, and if you’re a fan of Alabama, Mississippi State or any Auburn rival, you’re not going to like what they had to say. In a report given to Auburn, and released today, we learned that other than what […]

One of the most troubled, confusing and downright strange careers in recent college football history came to an end on Tuesday afternoon. That’s when the University of South Carolina announced that maligned former starting quarterback and everyone’s favorite “bro,” Stephen Garcia, had been dismissed from the program for a violation that has yet to be […]

It appears as though college football’s coaching carousel started a little early this season. At least according to reports on Monday night that Mike Stoops has been fired as the head coach at Arizona. The news was first reported by the Tucson Citizen: Arizona Athletic Director Greg Byrne announced this evening that he has fired […]

When people talk about football dynasties, they are usually talking about teams like Alabama, Nebraska, and Florida. However none of those teams when in their heyday come close to even holding a candle to what two small school colleges in Ohio and Wisconsin have done. Over the last seven seasons the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has […]

One of the most fascinating, and equally annoying subplots of the conference realignment merry go round we’ve experienced the last few months, is that it’s simply impossible to decipher fact from fiction. Some leaked information has proven to be true (Texas A&M to the SEC for example), while much more hasn’t. After all, how many […]
