When the dots are down, the heart of the champion is finally revealed.

• The HeraldNet takes a look at the new and improved Keith Price in a very nice write up.
• Duff McKagain, Guns 'n Roses guitarist and part-time sports blogger, agrees with Keith Price:

• Ryan Divish spends a lot of time in Bob Condotta's shadow, but he definitely wins best effort award for his Day 4 recap. I'm looking forward to more competition for that "top beat writer" position.
• Yahoo! sports has a fan preview of the USC / UW game in Seattle. The matchup looks even.
• We all know that tailgating at UW is a special experience. The question on everyone's mind? What will the tailgating at the Link be like?
• If you haven't yet seen this, you need to. Divish puts together an online tribute to Deontae Cooper that will literally knock your socks off. My complements to Mr. Divish - this is truly outstanding work that is much appreciated by a heartbroken fanbase.
