Manning was looking around other places and it seemed the Broncos were down the lists, but John Elway was able to persuade Peyton to go to the Mile High city. Needless to say, Peyton Manning is better that Tim Tebow, despite the great run he led them on last year.

The #5 seed Temple Owls caught the upset bug on Friday and got upended by #12 seed University of South Florida. Temple joined 6 other top seeds who lost today. Misery does love company, and that does include two #2 seeds who got handed their tickets home.
This game was a tale of two halves. At one point the Bulls missed 22 in a row. USF shot 3-27 for 11% in the first half yet only trailed Temple 19-15. That was thanks to good defense on their part and limiting the Owls to only 13... Read More |
