Sounding off
"If slick-haired Rick Neuheisel stays away from March Madness pools, he'll be a hit in LA." — Mark Dixon
TCU
"Appalachian State was last season's "it team" after defeating Michigan. But does beating a Big Ten team even count as a quality win?"
"TCU vs. New Mexico? Why did we pick this game, again?
—Rustin Dodd
"Syracuse vs. Northwestern won't be very good, but the stories about it will be." — Taylor Bern
"Syracuse vs. Northwestern?
Ooh, that's a nerdy game."
—Drew Bergman
"TCU vs. New Mexico? It's the battle of the richest kids from Johnson County vs. the people from Roswell, or something like that."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs have decided to sell naming rights to Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs also said IMG will manage a Kansas Citybased sales and marketing team.
The Chiefs announced Thursday they have entered into an agreement with the sports and entertainment company IMG to find a naming rights holder.
Arrowhead, built in 1972, has a capacity of almost 79,500 and is the third-largest in the NFL. It's undergoing a $375 million renovation project for completion in 2010.
Associated Press
For almost 20 years, Arrowhead has been among the top three stadiums in home attendance, with sellouts in 141 consecutive games.
NORMAN, Okla. — Former Kansas State standout Kendra Wecker is now a member of Oklahoma's women's basketball staff.

Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said Thursday that Wecker will be the Sooners' graduate assistant coach.
Wecker is from Marysville, Kan. She earned first-team All-Big 12 Conference honors three times as a player and was the Big 12 player of the year and a first-team All-America selection as a senior in 2005. She holds Kansas State career records for scoring and rebounding.
She later played for the San Antonio Silver Stars and Washington Mystics of the WNBA. She was waived by Washington on Aug. 12.
Coale says Wecker has a broad base of basketball intelligence and a strong work ethic.
