There are only three jobs available to an elf. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps. You can bake cookies in a tree. As you can imagine, it's, uh, dangerous having an oven in an oak tree during the dry season. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every elf aspires to. And that is to build toys in Santa's workshop.

Arizona's success under Mike Stoops means his coordinators become hot coaching candidates.
It appears that Arizona State is stocking up on receivers, which should help whoever wins the quarterback job next fall.
This California running back shouldn't have to think too long on whether to enter the NFL draft or not. Cal's players say they will be motivated in the Poinsettia Bowl vs. Utah.
Big hitting Oregon safety T.J. Ward wants to go out with a bang.
BYU quarterback Max Hall doesn't like Utah, but that's not a concern for Oregon State. Which defense steps up?
This Stanford Cardinal knows all about Oklahoma.
The last hurrah for a UCLA offensive lineman. Bill Cosby's rooting interests are clear in the EagleBank Bowl.
The USC offense doesn't need to change, it just needs to play better, according to coordinator Jeremy Bates. Pete Carroll on Boston College. The Emerald Bowl is thriving.
Jon Wilner ranks the Pac-10 coaches based on their performance this season.
