With just the Battle of the Techs left to be played this evening, we've all but come to the end of an eventful opening weekend in the college football world. I realize that everyone is just happy to be watching actual games again, but has anyone checked out the slate for this weekend? Pretty lackluster, […]
Floyd Mayweather cashes in big on Alabama
0 comments by Aaron Torres
Entering this weekend’s mega-showdown that wasn’t between Alabama and Michigan, there were plenty of stories that captured the attention of college football fans. How would Nick Saban’s defense handle Denard Robinson? How would Michigan hold up against the Crimson Tide’s running game? How much would Floyd Mayweather lose betting on the Wolverines? Wait, what? Oh […]
Weekend Wrap: Props to the Great Lakes State
The Super Six* 1. Alabama, which walloped Michigan by 27 in the first (and last?) regular-season meeting ever between the two iconic programs. 2. USC, which on Saturday routed Hawaii, located 2,550 miles to its west, and next Saturday will do the same to Syracuse, which is located 2,680 miles to its east. 3. LSU, […]
Alabama State’s mascot is ever so bummed
Alabama State raced out to a 21-0 lead over the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats in the 2012 MEAC/SWAC Challenge. It has been all downhill from there for the Hornets, however, who now trail, 24-21. Needless to say, Alabama St.'s mascot isn't taking the collapse well. Cheer up, buddy. The Hornets still have 13 minutes left to go […]
Alabama-Michigan: The Crimson Tide are so dominating, at this point, what can you even say?
0 comments by Aaron Torres
http://youtube.com/watch?v=yVpE0W0pYaw There’s no easy way to start this article, if only because there’s no easy way to write about the Alabama Crimson Tide at this point. For years now, we’ve known Alabama to be the bigger, more talented and better coached team pretty much every time they take the football field. And Saturday night, […]
Clemson 26, Auburn 19: Ellington and Boyd go wild
0 comments by Joe Lucia
Clemson and Auburn played through a sluggish first half at the Georgia Dome before the reigning ACC champions turned up the heat in the fourth quater en route to a 23-16 victory, their second straight over their SEC foes. Clemson got on the board first with a field goal by Chandler Catanzaro in the first […]
More NCAA trouble for USC?
USC’s return to the top of college football got off to a rollicking start Saturday as new allegations of improprieties surfaced hours before kickoff of the Trojans’ first game. According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, documents related to the case of a Los Angeles County civil servant allegedly involved in a corruption […]
West Virginia 69, Marshall 34: Missed extra point costs Mountaineers back-to-back 70-point games
0 comments by Tom Perry on 9/1/2012
For the better part of the past seven months, all West Virginia fans wanted to talk about was how the Mountaineers scored 70 points against Clemson in the Orange Bowl. That near-flawless performance is what everyone expects from Dana Holgorsen’s offense every week. Well, the Mountaineers delivered a 69-34 win over Marshall in the Friends […]
Ohio State Football: Buckeyes impressive in Urban Meyer’s debut
0 comments by Aaron Torres
Over the off-season in Columbus, OH, a catchy tagline around the Ohio State football program was that the club was in the midst of an “Urban Revival.” Urban Meyer’s arrival at the school provided a fresh start for both a team that went 6-7 last season, and for a man who nearly coached himself […]
Ohio State’s Devin Smith with the catch of the season so far
0 comments by Aaron Torres
Entering his first season at Ohio State, the big question for Urban Meyer was whether or not he had enough playmakers to run his high-powered, spread option offense. For all the talent Jim Tressel and Luke Fickell had recruited the last couple years, there didn't appear to be that Percy Harvin or Aaron Hernandez type […]
CBR on ESPN UNITE
Crystal Ball Run's very own Kevin McGuire appeared on ESPN UNITE to talk about tonight's Alabama-Michigan blockbuster and engage in a war of words with Brandon Larrabee of TeamSpeedKills.com over the awesomeness of the Big Ten and SEC.
Michigan State 17, Boise State 13: Broncos finally fall to a big boy
Boise State doesn’t rebuild. The Broncos just reload. So maybe that’s a stretch. Still, the departures of 17 starters from the Boise State juggernaut this season were supposed to bring college football’s consummate cinderella back to earth. Boise lost to Michigan State Friday night, but it sure didn’t look like the Broncos have any intention […]
