- NCAA Men's College Basketball: (1) Duke 97, (2) Texas 66: The showdown at The Meadowlands was more of a lopsided affair as J. J. Redick led the Blue Devils with 41 points, including nine three-point baskets, outshooting the whole Longhorn team (who could only get three trifectas) by himself. LaMarcus Aldridge led Texas with 23 points.
- College Football: Reggie Bush wins the 2005 Heisman Trophy as the best player in college football. The Heisman is probably the most-venerated individual honor in American sports.
- Rugby union: All Blacks legend Jonah Lomu makes his first competitive appearance since undergoing a kidney transplant in 2004, playing 60 minutes for the Cardiff Blues in a 25–10 Heineken Cup win over Calvisano.

Famous quotes containing the word december:
“Work—work—work,
In the dull December light,
And work—work—work,
When the weather is warm and bright—
While underneath the eaves
The brooding swallows cling
As if to show me their sunny backs
And twit me with the spring.”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)
