Some quick hits from the past few days:

Marksism: Venric Mark was the only player from the Big Ten to make the CBS All-American squad, as a punt returner. And well deserved. Kain Colter has received some hype as an all-purpose guy, but nobody's taking that away from Tavon Austin.

We fly high, no lie, you know this, BOWLIN: Spencer Hall puts Northwestern' culture clash-y bowl game at No. 8 out of the 35 bowls this season. Celebrity Hot Tub marks Mississippi State as a secret shame over at Deadspin, although the real reason to read that is for Iowa schadenfreude.
