Ready for some football? Well it's finally Super Bowl week, so pull out your earplugs - there will be a lot of noise on the airwaves. In other football news, the All American Football League conducted its inaugural draft on Saturday, holding 50 rounds for its six teams. The AAFL, which requires all players to have their college degrees, is trying to capitalize on the seemingly insatiable desire of football fans, and will have teams in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee and Texas. Former Troy offensive lineman Zarah Yisrael was the first pick in the draft, former Virginia Tech quarterback Bryan Randall was second and enigmatic 2001 Heisman winner Eric Crouch was the third pick. Some of these guys were awesome college players, but the question is, will you watch them now that they're out of eligibility and not in the NFL?

Record crowd. 5,377 people saw Jinelle Zaugg score two goals and lead the No. 5 Wisconsin women's ice hockey team to a 4-0 victory over St. Cloud State on Saturday. The 5,377 fans set a new NCAA women's ice hockey attendance record and raised $5,377 for the Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin in the process.

ACC thriller. The best game of the weekend may have been the match-up between the women's teams of Maryland and UNC. After an early-week loss to top-ranked UConn, the Tar Heels answered back with a 97-86 double-overtime victory over No. 4 Maryland on Saturday

Shoeless everyone. We mentioned that Ron Hunter coached IUPUI without shoes last week in order to raise awareness for Samaritan's Feet, a charitable organization that strives to provide shoes for those who cannot afford them. Hunter wanted to spearhead a collection of 40,000 pairs of shoes, but after Converse donated 15,000 pairs to the cause, more than 110,000 pairs were donated..

Can Tigers run table? For the first time in school history, Memphis took its home court as the nation's top-ranked team on Saturday afternoon. Things went well for the Tigers, who outlasted non-conference foe Gonzaga, 81-73, behind 21 from Chris Douglas-Roberts and 19 from standout freshman Derrick Rose. Memphis improved to 19-0 and is one of two undefeated teams remaining in Division I. Kansas, the other perfect team, rolled Nebraska on Saturday to run its record to 20-0. Here's the question: if both teams finish the regular season perfect, is one streak more impressive than the other because of the leagues the teams play in?

The Cousins Lerg. Bryan and Jeff Lerg are the most popular guys in East Lansing this week, as the cousins led Michigan State to a thrilling 1-0 victory over rival Michigan on the ice Friday night. Bryan scored the game's lone goal with less than four minutes remaining in the first period and Jeff stopped 26 shots in the crease as the defending national champs snapped the Wolverines' nine-game winning streak.

Not the next NCAA sport. At the Division III Leadership Conference in Dallas this weekend, the attendees were taken to Medieval Times for a Saturday night excursion. It was an interesting experience, but I don't think jousting will be an NCAA-sponsored sport anytime soon.
