<ul>
<li>Six of the nine <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/17976/alabama-auburn-most-watched-game" target="_blank">most watched college football games</a> this season on television were SEC contests.  Money well spent, CBS.</li>
<li>On the other hand, viewership of the Heisman Trophy ceremony dropped to <a href="http://www.sportsmediawatch.net/2010/12/espn-hits-four-year-low-for-heisman.html" target="_blank">its lowest level since 2006</a>.  You only get one guess as to why.</li>
<li>You&#8217;ve got to love <a href="http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/cam-congressional-pardon-salute-not-unanimous-29341" target="_blank">a post</a> which contains the line <em>&#8220;when it comes to meaningless Congressional measures, no single vote means more than that of <strong>Corrine Brown</strong>.&#8221;</em></li>
<li><a href="http://heismanpundit.com/2010/12/15/nice-knowing-ya-gators/" target="_blank">Florida is dead</a> to Heisman Pundit now.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.ajc.com/sports/uga/uga-tight-end-chosen-778375.html" target="_blank">Congratulations, Aron White</a>.  Just don&#8217;t borrow Mudcat&#8217;s car to drive to the ceremony, okay?</li>
<li>I thought something similar to <a href="http://www.teamspeedkills.com/2010/12/15/1877818/muschamp-won-the-press-conference-but-real-work-remains" target="_blank">this</a> the other day, but I think it carries more weight coming from a Florida guy:  <em>&#8220;&#8230; that Brantley, a lifelong Gator and a legacy player, is considering a  transfer despite the fact that UF hired a Gainesville guy who&#8217;s  promising a pro-style offense speaks volumes.&#8221;</em></li>
<li>I&#8217;m surprised it took somebody this long <a href="http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20101215/BLOGS09/101219706" target="_blank">to blame Camgate on the BCS</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/Finally-Mark-Cuban-has-a-plan-to-put-the-BCS-ou?urn=ncaaf-296649" target="_blank">Mark Cuban</a> will fix that, though.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.gatorzone.com/carter/blog/187" target="_blank">Muschamp won&#8217;t put a staff together</a> until after Florida&#8217;s bowl game, so is he handling recruiting all by his lonesome right now?</li>
</ul>
