ICYMI, check out the appearance of Marcus Mariota on Monday night’s episode of “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

The Oregon Ducks star and St. Louis High graduate delivered the top 10 things that were going through his head when he was awarded the Heisman Trophy.

My favorites:

No. 7 “Last Heisman winner from Hawaii: Don Ho.”

No. 3 “I’d like to play in the NFL; does New York have any professional teams?”

Both the New York Giants and the New York Jets are playing poorly this season.

As Letterman noted on his show, Oregon plays Florida State in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. The winner will play either Ohio State or Alabama, whichever team wins the Sugar Bowl that same day.

The National Championship is set for Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas.
