Morning rounds ...

Football

• Cesar Sanchez-Hernandez seems likely to be Laval's starting quarterback vs. Montreal on Sunday. (Le Journal de Québec)
  
  
• Being resilient has helped Western win 20 of its last 21 OUA games. (Sun Media)
  
  
• Chris Ioannides, one of the few true tight ends in the OUA, has been an X-factor for Queen's through the first half of the season. (Kingston Whig-Standard)
  
  
• In Tim Switzer's considered view, the Alberta Golden Bears and Calgary Dinos should have a pretty nice little Saturday ... go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, maybe beat Manitoba and UBC and create some separation in Canada West. (Campus Chatter)
  
  
• Not CIS, but the St. Louis Rams safety Oshiomogho Atogwe, of Windsor, is apparently dating the daughter of San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary. (Pro Football Talk)
  

Basketball

• Read into the scores what you will (it's October, after all), but cishoops.ca has recaps posted on a couple OUA East-QSSF non-conference games, Queen's 73-57 home win over defending Q champion Concordia and Ottawa's 93-72 win over Laval. Gaels forward Mitch Leger and Gee-Gees swingman Warren Ward each recorded double-doubles.
  
  Laval is at Queen's on Saturday. It is kind of neat to see those matchups, since up until 2001-02, the OUA East and QSSF had an interlock in the regular season.
  
  
• Mark Wacyk takes a look at the UFV Cascades, whose talented but young nine-man rotation includes all-name team candidate Zeon Gray, a point guard from California. Sam Freeman, of course, is UFV's big scorer, coming off a rookie-of-the-year season. (cishoops.ca)
  
  
• Calgary-based 'court reporter' Wayne Thomas lists off the top men's recruiting classes in Canada West. (cishoops.ca)

Hockey

• McGill might have a decent team. The Redmen had 58 shots on goal in a 4-1 exhibition win over Ottawa on Friday.
  
  
• Lakehead coach Joel Scherban won his pre-season debut, 7-3 over Guelph.
