Hope this finds you safe and dry. And warm. A note from the 5-at-10 staff: Happy holidays and we’re taking a little time off. We’ll be back on the Interwebs on Dec. 27, but until then enjoy the season and Merry Christmas.

Junior college football players now are signing scholarships to four-year schools. And if you think a key junior college addition can’t make a huge impact, well, go ask Auburn about the late December addition of Cam Newton last year.
I think the Tigers are pretty pleased with how that turned out, don’t you?
Anyhoo, there was a pretty shocking signing last night. The Alabama Crimson Tide added Aaron Douglas. Yes, that Aaron Douglas. Yes, the Aaron Douglas whose father played for the Vols. Yes, that Aaron Douglas who was a star at nearby Maryville and was a freshman All-American as a tackle for the Vols in 2009 before leaving after the Kiffin train derailed.
