Troy Davis, mythological deity, has gone and done it again.

As a running back at Saturday’s game against Texas A&M, Davis, with the help of the Cyclones, capped off 1,000 yards in the first five games — two years in a row. A new NCAA record.

The Daily has done it again.

For the second time this semester, we have decided to congratulate Troy Davis and his extraordinary abilities on the field. The space for an editorial is usually reserved only once for special topics or occasions. But twice now we’ve directed our applause to Davis.

Davis could severely monopolize the editorial column just as he has the football field.

OK, so Davis will take Iowa State to a bowl game this year and every year until he graduates.

He will win the Heisman Trophy. Davis will receive the Nobel Prize. He will become the president of the United States.

Davis will take your favorite team to the Super Bowl.

It’s all going to happen one day, and everybody knows it. One future article will report: “President Troy Davis won the Nobel Prize today for his touchdown in yesterday’s Super Bowl.” Reaction from the masses: “Well, of course he did. He’s Troy Davis.”

Enough congratulating, already.

It has been determined that Troy Davis is a great football player, maybe the best ever to throw on the Cyclone’s cardinal and gold.

To eliminate the need to write anymore editorials in his honor, the Daily is getting them all out of the way right now.

From now on the Daily will try to write editorials on things that aren’t as predictable as Davis.

The Daily will write on things such as controversy, politics, ideas and actions. Davis has taken what was once a major milestone at ISU, a record-setting performance by a Cyclone football player, and made it commonplace.

So no more Davis editorials. Well, no editorials except for when he finds the cure for cancer, wins the Heisman or saves humankind from deadly space aliens. Other than that …

Congratulations, Troy Davis, on becoming King of the World — for the second time now.

It’s old news.
