I stumbled upon Richard Williams smoking a cigarette behind a grandstand once. His daughters, Venus and Serena, were playing each other in a tennis match.

Our interaction made this week’s mailbag.

So did a Phil Knight question and a trove of inquiries about the Pac-4’s plan for survival. Readers are nervous for Jonathan Smith and Oregon State. Also, they’re interested in how Oregon and Washington will fare in 2024 when they join the Big Ten.

I got great questions this week about the 2023 football season, salty games and my coverage strategy. Quarterbacks Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, Cam Rising, Cam Ward, Michael Penix Jr. and DJ Uiagalelei all made the mailbag, too.

This week’s edition is rich. It might be the best ever.
