Now that we have one full day of classes under our belts, we realize that our long winter break is now over. But, we can't forget about some of the sports stories over the break, so here is a few in alphabetical order.

Arizona football!! The boys finally are receiving some well-to-do national credit.

Brad Brennan steps in and proves his worth in the Holiday Bowl with Jeremy McDaniel injured early.

Cardinals fever. Who would have expected it?

Davis, Terrell that is, picks up 2,008 yards rushing for the Broncos on the season, joining Eric Dickerson, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders as the only players who have done it. That's pretty good company.

E. The grade the owners, players and administration of the NBA received in their class taught by Kenny Anderson, Fans 101.

Finishing touch by freshman Richard Jefferson to give the Wildcats a thrilling two-point victory over Washington.

Georgetown head coach John Thompson resigns because of family problems not because his team stinks. Well, maybe both.

Holmgren leaves the Packers for his dream job in... SEATTLE? Maybe they won't be 8-8 every year with big Mike making all the decisions.

Immaculate Reception II. Steve Young hooks up with Terrell Owens for the second greatest catch in 49ers history.

Jordan! His torch can't be passed. Stop looking!

Keith Smith. If Doug Flutie can make it, than why not him?

Lockout is finally over, and of course it took up until the kill date.

Monday madness in the NFL. Five coaches fired on the last day of the regular season.

Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount voted to be enshrined in Baseball's Hall of Fame. Perhaps one of the greatest honors in sports.

One and four in the bowls for the Pac-10. Guess who actually won a game?

Peerless Price. A great player and a cool name.

Qualcomm Stadium. Do any students actually remember being there on the night of Dec. 30?

Ron Dayne. See U.

Salt Lake Olympic Committee has two representatives resign after giving gifts to the International Olympic Committee in order to receive the 2002 Winter Games.

Tennessee Volunteers. Boring and sloppy game, but they proved they are the best.

UCLA defense. See R.

Vinny and the Jets. This one is for my dad! He won't admit it, but he is rooting hard for the Mean Green.

Williams erasing the Heisman Trophy jinx with a huge game for Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

eXactly what college football needed, a true national champ. Hey, you name a word that starts with X involving sports besides Xavier.

Yusuf Scott going pro. It certainly is surprising.

Zebras! The NFL officials make headlines again.
