Maroon Machine, Hawkeyes Roll, Lacey Wins

• Good gosh, Dowling is good. The Maroons keep blowing out ranked teams. Hit me back if Dowling doesn't go undefeated and win the state championship.
• College football Saturday predictions: K-State keeps I-State reeling, Iowa makes people wonder why Arizona was favored by 1.
• Great to see Seneca Wallace starting Sunday for the Browns.
• I'll take Peyton over Eli in Manning Bowl II Sunday night on channel 13 (followed by SoundOff!).
• Reggie Bush says giving back the Heisman trophy is not an admission of guilt. Right.
• Did you know former Cyclone Alison Lacey just won a WNBA title with Seattle? Lacey didn't play much after a season of ice cold shooting. She was 4-35 from the field.
• No Gators arrested the past few days.
• Derek Jeter didn't cheat. The baseball culture is such that you're encouraged to pretend you caught a ball when you know you trapped it, or take a base any way you can. Baseball is not golf. However, Jeter didn't need to fake the injury. That's too much.
• My son Colin plays his first Little All-American football game Saturday. This is good news. Colin is tired of practice. He told me tonight, "Dad, I think I need to be seven, not six." Most of the time, he's having fun with football at six.
