This version of Monday Mailbag is arguably the best yet. The questions were crisp, fun, and intelligent. Readers challenged me. I was forced to think about several topics I hadn’t considered. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I was asked about the atmosphere at Michigan Stadium, Daylight Saving Time, cruises, the shortage of great college football teams this season, fictional movie quarterbacks, and the new-world Pac-12’s timeline for adding more members.
Readers peppered me with questions about Boise State’s potential playoff ranking, the Pac-12’s revenue distribution, Damian Lillard’s future, Portland’s WNBA franchise, and how many teams the Big Ten will put in the playoff.
What can Washington State do to keep coach Jake Dickert in Pullman? Is there a job opening that might create smoke for Oregon and Dan Lanning? What is wrong with Lincoln Riley and USC?
Thanks to all who submitted questions.
