Respect?

No longer the team mascot?

The betting lines for this weekend's game are out, and Columbia is a 12 1/2 point favorite at Georgetown, marking the first time in my memory that the Lions have been favored by double-digits two weeks in a row. 

The other notable lines are:

Yale is favored by 4 1/2 points at Cornell

Harvard is favored by -14 1/2 at Brown

Dartmouth is favored by 16 1/2 at Sacred Heart

Penn is favored by 9 1/2 vs. Lafayette 

Princeton is favored by 24 vs. Lehigh

Marist is a 10 point underdog at Drake

I think I'll be buying the latest from "Friday Night Lights" author Buzz Bissinger titled The Mosquito Bowl about an unusual football game played by our troops in the Pacific Theater in World War II. One of the players was a standout from Brown named John McLaughrey.
