8:34 PM Pete Thamel of the New York Times from the Alabama-Florida post game presser in Atlanta: "A woman from Alabama in the press conference just told Tebow that women in Alabama love him. Totally bizarre."

8:19 PM For the 3rd time, Bob Stoops denied that he has interest in the Notre Dame job: "I will not be the next coach at Notre Dame." Stoops acts exasperated about being repeatedly hounded, but he knows his lying peers created this annual media feeding frenzy.

8:08 PM Somebody just woke up Bobby Bowden to tell him he wasn't exactly given a choice in his coaching situation at FSU. I still think he's going to coach again. Watch out UAB fans!

7:57 PM Fun game to follow at the moment: Syracuse leading Maine 60-12 at halftime in college hoops. Orange had a 32-0 run in the first half that was only stopped because of a goaltending.
