Answers, Part XXIV

Do you think Marcedes Lewis has played to his potential in the pros? Does Del Rio use him mainly as an additional pass blocker because his receiving stats are pretty poor?
I haven't really followed it to know.

do you have any emotional ties to UCLA besides covering them since you didn't go to school there? do you get upset when they lose?
I have no emotional ties, and I don't really get emotionally involved in whether or not they win or lose.

There seemed to be a lot of quotes from basketball team members after the Oregon trip stating that there is great chemistry on the team. Were these simply typical quotes, or is the chemistry on this year's team better than in years past?
No, it's typical stuff of a team that has won some games in a row. They like hanging out with each other and there really isn't a dominating personality, so I think that is a large part of it.

do you believe that with the recruits in last years and this year's class, the team is getting more athletic across the board?
I guess you mean football, so the answer is yes. But there is a ways to go. It was going to be hard to get less athletic.

you have a better insight into the FB program than of us fans. If you were to advise RN and DG what improvements/changes would you make.
I would bring in a patsy for the non-conference so guys can play and get confidence, I would want the academic standards eased a bit and I would like a new practice field. Also, the weight room needs to be bigger, there has to be a way for the players to watch film near the coaches' offices, so when they have questions, they don't need to walk five minutes to ask those questions. How is that for a start?

Do you're children root for UCLA or do they despise UCLA because it makes daddy stressed and tired? Thanks for all your work. P.S. you should charge for this stuff.
The 3-year-old roots for Dora, Wubbzy and Diego. The 7-month-old roots for food every three to four hours.

If you had a chance to watch it, what were your thoughts on the BCS National Championship game?
I thought Oklahoma blew it in the first half by going for it on fourth-and-goal and then with Bradford trying to force a pass in at the goal line, only for it to be intercepted. That was the difference in the game. But the speed of those teams was amazing, especially after watching UCLA all season.

Aundre Dean vs. J'Mission Morgan: Who is the bigger disappointment as a freshman? Who is more likely to rebound and play well as a sophomore...and why?
I'm going with Aundre Dean because he has some raw talent. He just needs to get his head in the game.

Who's a better college quarterback: Matt Leinart or Tim Tebow?
Tebow. He can do so many things, and do them well.
