CBR’s ‘Way Too’ Early 2013 Top 10: No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide

After sorting through who we think will be the top teams in the country next college football season, was there any doubt who we are pegging as the team to beat? Really, this was one of the simplest decisions we have had to come together on since the launch of the site two years ago. […]

Bielema vs. Wisconsin fans: A hypocritical Twitter war

Bret Bielema may be into his 2nd month as head coach at Arkansas, but it sure seems like he can't leave Wisconsin behind quite yet…. at least on Twitter. You see the man that professed being humble, doing the right thing, and being smart on Twitter, well that same man has ben engaged in a […]

CBR’s ‘Way Too’ Early 2013 Top 10: No. 2 Oregon Ducks

The Oregon Ducks only had one game in 2012 where they scored less than 35 points. Unfortunately, it was that game, a 17-14 overtime loss to Stanford, that kept the Ducks from playing for the BCS Championship. 2013 will be a time of transition for the Oregon Ducks, as former head coach Chip Kelly has […]

CBR’s The Bachelor Diary: Week 3

We had three ladies dismissed last week, and that means we are down to a field of 16 wonderful ladies for week 3 of The Bachelor and we should be down to a healthy bakers dozen or so tonight if memory serves this guy correctly. I'm sure we'll have our fair share of shirtless ex-Kansas […]

Q&A with former USC linebacker Keith Rivers

CARSON, CALIF.,— At this point, you’ve probably figured out that Crystal Ball Run was camped out at this year’s NFLPA Bowl over the last few days. During that time we did a quick profile on Oklahoma State’s Brodrick Brown, explained what the game meant to each individual player and even had the chance to chat […]

CBR’s ‘Way Too’ Early 2013 Top 10: No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies

Quick question: Had anyone told you one year ago that Texas A&M would win 11 games during the 2012 season, produce a Heisman Trophy winner and enter 2013 a near-unanimous Top 5 team, how would you have responded? My guess is that there would’ve been some kind of bad “Mayan apocalypse” joke mixed in there […]

A college football inauguration

President Barack Obama was sent through the inauguration promenade in the nation's capital Monday to officially kick off his second term in office. While this was going on it got us wondering who would be sworn in as President of College Football Nation, if such an utopia were to actually exist. We took the question […]

Ole Miss turning heads, building momentum with recruiting efforts

When Hugh Freeze arrived at Ole Miss we expected to see new energy pumped in to the Rebels football program. A full year into his regime in Oxford and we are certainly seeing some results on the recruiting trails. Days after receiving a verbal commitment from Illinois five-star wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss has […]

Baylor ushers in a golden (helmet) era

Things have been going pretty well for Baylor in recent years. The entire sports department has been experiencing success at levels rarely seen before at the school. Of course we all remember the impact Robert Griffin III had on the football program recently and judging by last season it appears Baylor is not exactly taking […]

CBR’s ‘Way Too Early’ 2013 Top 10: No. 4 Stanford Cardinal

In the last three years, only two schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) have equaled or surpassed Stanford's 35-5 record and two BCS bowl wins. One of them happens to be Alabama (also 35-5), which just happened to win a pair of national championships in that period. The other is Oregon, which came within […]

Te’o tells his side, denies involvement in dead cybergirl hoax

Star Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o finally surfaced late Friday night for the first time since a report was published revealing that his dead girlfriend never died – or even existed. (Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my own personal hopes.) Not surprisingly, Te'o denied any involvement in the hoax during the interview with ESPN.com's […]
