Canzano: Monday Mailbag braces... for Pac-12 move, Moda Center plan, Oregon-OSU debate, Phil Knight, future of bowls, and more
Your questions. My answers.
My daughter got her braces off. Soji is 9 and burst into the room as I was finishing the Monday Mailbag, grinning like she’d won the Powerball.
“They gave me a pack of gum,” she announced.
I posted a before/after photo of Soji below. You can see the joy in her eyes. This braces thing may not be a big deal in your world, but it’s a reminder to me that not all news travels at the same speed or with the same impact.
Pac-12 news? Phil Knight’s $2 billion philanthropic flex? Oregon and Oregon State football debate? Trail Blazers arena development plans? What’s Tom Dundon’s biggest obstacle?
I received terrific questions this week.
Among the subjects were inquiries and questions about vacation spots, my summer BBQ menu, Pac-12 baseball affiliate members, Dan Lanning, Trent Bray, settlement talks with the Mountain West, and a peculiar cluster of injuries at the University of Utah.
