First, thank you John for continuing what you do. Even though I didn't always agree with you, you were the best part of the Oregonian.

By chance, we flew to AZ on the same plane as our basketball team. Sat across the aisle from Coach Tinkle and gave him a little encouragement. He certainly needed it! Elite 8 was no small feat and I like to think that he can regroup and do good things again. Like you wrote, we certainly can't afford to get another coach.

Mike Parker was on the plane, too, and it was nice to finally meet him. What a fine gentleman he seems to be.
