March is HERE

Who this year after the first tip on Thursday will be the Mizzou of 2002? That team that made a deep run into the Tournament lead by guard Kareem Rush. Only time will tell, but prognosticators never get it right for the upsets. And there will be upsets aplenty.

AP source: Wake chooses Bowling Green's Clawson (Yahoo Sports)

Wake Forest has hired Dave Clawson from Bowling Green as its next football coach, a person familiar with the situation said. The person said a news conference to introduce Clawson was expected Tuesday in Winston-Salem, N.C. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday night because the move had not been announced by either school. It comes three days after Clawson led Bowling Green (10-3) to an upset of then-No. 16 Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference championship game and one day after the Falcons were invited to the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl.

Cowboys, Bears tied at 7 after 1st quarter (Yahoo Sports)

Wind chill temperatures below zero and two struggling defenses did little to slow the offenses of the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys who were tied 7-7 after one quarter Monday night at Soldier Field. Dallas running back DeMarco Murray rushed for 66 yards on eight carries against the league's worst run defense and Bears quarterback Josh McCown was 5-of-6 passing for 51 yards against the league's worst pass defense. The Cowboys went 75 yards on the game's opening drive with Tony Romo completing a 2-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant on second-and-goal to end the 12-play march. The first 37 yards of the drive came on the ground against Chicago's 32nd-ranked run defense, including a drive-opening 19-yard run off right tackle by Murray.

Steam from Manning's nostrils not just from cold (Yahoo Sports)

Even after coming in from the cold, Peyton Manning was hot. Following one of the best cold-weather performances by a quarterback in the past decade, Manning issued an icy retort for all his critics who say he crumbles in the cold. He had a salty response to his critics during a postgame interview with Broncos' flagship radio station KOA in Denver following the Broncos' 51-28 dismantling of the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. This after lecturing his receivers when they dropped passes and getting into some heated discussions with offensive coordinator Adam Gase on the bench after the Broncos had trouble finishing off drives.
