• OTTAWA (CIS) – The reigning Vanier Cup champion McMaster Marauders top the Football Reporters of Canada – CIS rankings for the fifth time in as many polls this season. The Marauders (4-0) received 29 first-place votes and 299 points from the 30-member FRC panel, with the remaining first-place nod going to the Calgary Dinos (4-0), who earned 268 points to remain comfortably in second place for the third consecutive week. The No. 3 Montreal Carabins (4-0), No. 4 Laval Rouge et Or (4-0), No. 5 Queens Gaels (3-1) and No. 6 Western Mustangs (3-1) also stay put in the new media poll. Montreal and Laval both tallied 223 points and the same number of second-place votes, but the Carabins edged their archrivals for third spot thanks to a greater number of third-place votes. Rounding out the new Top 10 are the No. 7 Regina Rams (3-1), up two positions from last Tuesday; the No. 8 Manitoba Bisons (3-1), who stay put this week; the No. 9 Sherbrooke Vert & Or (2-2), up one spot; and the No. 10 Saskatchewan Huskies (2-2), down three. Top-ranked McMaster passed its stiffest test of the young season with flying colours last Saturday, opening up a 33-3 lead in the third quarter en route to a 33-20 home win against Queens. Things dont get any easier for the CIS champs this weekend as they travel to London on Saturday to face No. 6 Western (1 p.m. ET, theScore). All-Canadian quarterback Kyle Quinlan was once again stellar in the latest Marauders victory with 340 yards and a pair of touchdowns through the air. At the midway mark of the OUA regular schedule, last years Vanier Cup MVP averages 307 passing yards a game, leads the country with a remarkable 74.1 completion percentage, and has passed for 10 touchdowns without throwing a single interception. He also averages 67 yards on the ground per contest with four rushing majors. Both Calgary and Laval easily improved to 4-0 over the weekend, dominating UBC 62-7 and McGill 69-0, respectively. Montreal also remained perfect in conference play but had to battle inclement weather and a tough Sherbrooke defence to prevail 15-6 on home turf. Other results by Top-10 teams this past week were Western 43, Windsor 26 (at Western); Regina 35, Saskatchewan 26 (at Saskatchewan); Manitoba 51, Alberta 38 (at Manitoba). <a href="http://www.nflcheapwholesalejerseyschina.com/">cheap nfl jerseys wholesale</a>. Paul Reinhart played 648 games as a defenceman with the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks. <a href="http://www.nflcheapwholesalejerseyschina.com/">wholesale nfl jerseys</a>. The Minnesota Wild have sunk to a depth that has become all too familiar in the "State of Hockey." Taylor Pyatt scored two goals and Mike Smith made 23 saves to help the Phoenix Coyotes clinch the first division championship in franchise history with a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night. <a href="http://www.nflcheapwholesalejerseyschina.com/">http://www.nflcheapwholesalejerseyschina.com/</a>;. Reimer was the steady, effective force behind the Leafs sixth win in eight games and third in four tries against Montreal this year, stopping 36 pucks in a 5-1 victory at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday evening. <a href="http://www.nflcheapwholesalejerseyschina.com/">cheap jerseys from china</a>. -- Now that the Los Angeles Angels have ended the Texas Rangers 12-game winning streak, their next objective is to win the rubber game of their three-game series and eventually pass the defending AL champions in the West Division standings. <a href="http://www.nflcheapwholesalejerseyschina.com/">cheap nfl jerseys from china</a>. The Gibsons, B.C., native has pitched at least 200 innings in four of the past five seasons, impressive to general manager Ben Cherington but not so special to Dempster.WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- All Blacks fullback Israel Dagg has bamboozled many defenders with his clever footwork, his subtle changes of pace and angle. But he had a substantial international media contingent entirely mystified on Tuesday when asked to explain the unusual try-scoring celebrations he has performed at the Rugby World Cup. Dagg scored two tries in New Zealands 37-17 win over France on Saturday and the unusual manner in which he marked both touchdowns -- a cryptic collection of hand and arm gestures -- baffled many fans. Asked to explain the meaning of the celebration at a news conference on Monday, Dagg left reporters more baffled than before. In New Zealand slang, a dag is a humorous person, and Dagg lived up to the name with an explanation which would have stumped the most acerbic sleuth or cryptologist. "To be honest I cant really talk about it," Dagg said at first, though he was clearly itching to do so. "I wont be sharing any information about it but I can give you a few clues about it. The first clue is thhe dog meows.dddddddddddd And thats a clue about it. Thats one Ill leave you with." Asked if it might be seen again at the tournament or if it might evolve into something new and even more bewildering, Dagg was equally cryptic. "It will stay the same," he said. "You might see it come out at some other stage of the tournament or someone random might pull it out. So well just have to wait and see." Pressed for another clue he said, "Ill give you another clue. The laughing bear drives a motorcycle. Thats my last clue for today." Dagg said it was unlikely the celebration would be seen in the Rugby World Cup final, if New Zealand makes it that far. He suggested the occasion might be too august for such frivolity. All Blacks flyhalf Daniel Carter was as bewildered as reporters as he sat next to Dagg through his explanation. Asked if he knew what Dagg was talking about, Carter replied, "I think hes got this little private gang or thing Im not associated with. It makes no sense with me." ' ' '
