U.S. golfer Tiger Woods, left, shakes hands with his former caddie Steve Williams after the Presidents Cup Golf Tournament at Royal Melbourne Golf Course in Melbourne, Australia, Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011. The handshake between Woods and Williams was routine. The loss by Woods and Steve Stricker turned out to be the real drama in the Presidents Cup.

For those new to the show, here’s how we roll when the sports editor takes a hiatus. It’s a mini-5-at-10, more of a single topic with 5 items, per se. So it goes.
Before we get started, remember we’re still looking for your bowl picks. The prizes are going to be pretty sweet – Jefe said when he wins he wants the prize to be a title belt and that every one must refer to him as “Bowl Champion” in conversation for all of 2012 (and we have to admit, that’s a pretty sweet prize). The rules can be found midway down in last Friday’s mailbag here .
Before we get started on today’s mini-5-at-10, we owe a shout out to Jomo, who wanted to know why we thought a struggling UT basketball would win the Southern Conference last week. After Davidson’s win over No. 11-ranked Kansas on Monday night, Jomo is correct that
UT would not be the favorite in the SoCon. So it goes.
