It's no secret that here at Crystal Ball Run we love college football as much as you do. We also know that for most of you (like us), Signing Day serves as both a literal and metaphorical benchmark in the college football off-season; today is both a "Christmas in February" type celebration for fans everywhere, […]

For new Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich, it’s safe to say that his first month on the job could be going a little smoother.

It came in the form of the nation’s top ranked linebacker Reuben Foster, who committed to the Crimson Tide. Foster, a five-star recruit on just about every repeatable website on the net […]

Former Tennessee coach Derek Dooley, who has an impressive 32-41 career record as a college coach, will be back on the sidelines in 2013. Instead of nepotism, Dooley is calling on his old friend Jason Garrett with the Dallas Cowboys. Dooley will take over for Jimmy Robinson as wide receivers coach. It’s not Dooley’s first […]

After four weeks of action – o.k. more like about a week or so in real life – Sean is down to 11 lucky ladies… Why so lucky? Well, it appears they'll be traversing some exotic or not so exotic locals (depending on your outlook of the great outdoors) on a special double episode week […]
