Is Bob Stoops trying to prove to everyone he knows more than the rest of us, or is he just trying to make a point that he is the one calling the shots in Norman? After an off-season trying to convince everyone the starting quarterback competition was much tighter than most of us ever really […]

Here’s the yawner of the day. CBS Sports will broadcast American Athletic Conference football games starting in 2014. A deal was struck with ESPN as the World Wide Leader was more than happy to dump the conference that will be lacking any real big names by then. CBS Sports did get some basketball in the […]

The College Football Playoff needs a committee and one noted college football dignitary has stepped forward offering his services. Wisconsin athletics director Barry Alvarez, perhaps still feeling energized by his brief return to coaching in the Rose Bowl, says he would be interested in joining any such playoff committee that has yet to be formed. […]

Hallelujah… the NCAA is capable of doing the right thing and doing it quickly after all. In just under 12 hours the NCAA ruled Middle Tennessee's Steven Rhodes, a Marine who served for five years, ineligible because of some obscure (but important) rule and then reversed course and corrected the situation. So, Rhodes, a walk-on […]

Served his country for five years. Not allowed to walk on at Middle Tennessee. UPDATE: The NCAA has overturned their decision. In an age where we seem to go out of our way to pay tribute and honor those who dedicate their lives to serve our country, the NCAA is sticking to one rule in […]

This guy here is a guy who was close to being an assistant at Oregon for Chip Kelly. Jon Gruden has been tied to many a college football coaching rumor since being fired as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Notre Dame, Tennessee, Miami, you name it. If Gruden wanted to coach in the […]

When you are just plain starving to watch some college football, any highlight action from fall camp is enough to tease. Sometimes, though, you get a gem like this one from USC walk-on receiver Aaron Minor. It’s hard to believe the Trojans will need a non-scholarship receiver, but coach Lane Kiffin shouldn’t overlook Minor because […]

We have been having fun all week going over our various predictions for the upcoming season. I love making predictions, because if I am wrong there are not a whole lot of people that will come back at the end of the year and throw it in my face. But don't let that deter you […]
One can only imagine how Williams would help Johnny Football get his mind right. (Photo courtesy: USA Today Sports) As a Heisman Trophy winner who's not exactly a stranger to controversy, it would make sense that Texas Longhorns legend Ricky Williams would defend Johnny Manziel in the Texas A&M superstar's time of crisis. Except, when […]

The art of making accurate predictions has made a few individuals very wealthy, but it has bankrupt many more. Thankfully for the writers at Crystal Ball Run, we don’t have any real cash on the line so we can be bold (or crazy). One of our fearless leaders, Allen Kenney started us off, followed by […]

Adam Griffin, seen here as a child posing with his father during a ceremony at Ohio State, may not play college football again. Legendary Ohio State running back Archie Griffin remains the only player in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy two different seasons. His son, Adam Griffin, may never win one. The […]
