Maybe it's the end of football season. Or maybe it's the New Year's Eve-type build-up and the typical post-Super Bowl blahs.
We're going to need a few minutes to collect our thoughts this morning. It dawned on us that football is officially done.We'll have to make due with everything else until the end of August when the college season kicks off. Sigh.
There is more money gambled on the Super Bowl than any other single sporting game. There also are way more bets on the Super Bowl than any event in the history of the gambling world.
OK, you know what the 5-at-10 loves? well, yes, it is the draft. You know what else the 5-at-10 loves? Theme shows.

We had planned to post the ballot for our new studio name today, but there was too much to cover from this past weekend. (Plus that gives everyone a final chance to submit nominations.) We'll get to the studio name Tuesday. Deal? Deal.

There's no debating that the Tim Tebow overkill has dominated sports news to such a point of saturation that there's a real possibility ESPN has just started an hourlong special "Tebow: Boxers or Briefs?"

The college football season ended hours ago. So it's a perfect time to look at an entirely too early preseason poll for the 2012 season.

The last 24 months have been rough for the fans of the University of Tennessee athletic teams. Some have even called it historically dramatic and depressingly declining.
On the heels of the National Championship which will boast the far and away best defenses in the country and arguably two of the best defenses in college football history.

Happy New Year — enjoy the picks.
The football coaches around the Southeastern Conference probably have a list of New Year’s resolutions. Lose some weight, land some five-star recruits, impress the boosters — you know, the usual stuff.

Ah, the holidays. Plenty of time with friends and family, and a load of sports on television for all audiences.
Hello from the modest 5-at-10 compound. We're spending time with the 5-at-10 clan and getting ready for Christmas.
