First Practice: March26Spring Game: April 21 Entering spring 2012, there are few hot seats in college football hotter than Derek Dooley’s at Tennessee. A once proud program has hit on hard times, winning just 11 games over the last two years, and sadly for Vols fans, things hardly improved this off-season. From player discontent, to […]

Source: Flickr Dave Wannstedt once set out to build a wall around western Pennsylvania in an attempt to keep recruiting rivals out of the fertile recruiting grounds in western Pennsylvania.

For the most part here at Crystal Ball Run, we like to take a look at college football in a lighter way. Yes, we take what we do seriously, but college football is also supposed to be fun, and because of it, we try to present our content that way. After all, if we can’t […]
With spring ball open now open for business nationwide, virtually every team in the country has some sort of issue to address. At LSU, it’s handing the quarterbacking keys to Zach Mettenberger. At Alabama, it’s figuring out who is ready to step up on defense. And at Arkansas, it’s addressing if the Razorbacks have anyone […]

There’s an old saying that goes “losing breeds apathy” and never has there been a better example of that than the end of the Mike Stoops era at Arizona. A program that regularly put butts in seats during Stoops’ best days, Arizona Stadium became a ghost town by the time he was done in Tucson. […]
First Practice: March 19Spring Game: April 14 The Seminoles started last season with dark-horse national title hopes. Those were quickly dashed following a rash of injuries. After winning the ACC Atlantic in 2010, FSU slid back, ceding the division crown to Clemson. Hope springs eternal in Tallahassee yet again. FSU is no less talented now […]
