Forger Super Bowl Sunday. The biggest day of the sports year is today.

OK, maybe that's a bit much, but people around Albany and the MAAC are fired up for Siena-Fairfield.

To get the day started, a rundown of what people are writing about:

* Rider was good yesterday, but not good enough.

* Mike Ringgold turned in one of his best performances in a losing effort.

* Clarence Jackson was one of several Saints who woke up in the second half.

* It's next to impossible to beat Siena when Ronald Moore is hitting shots.

* Fairfield is in the title game for the first time in seven years.

* Niagara's offense disappeared when it mattered most.

* Ryan Rossiter is a monster in a good way.

* Folks at Manhattan think Gonzo is a monster in a bad way.

* Surprise, surprise. The Marist women are back in the Big Dance.

* Fairfield ran out of gas in the second half.
