Let's say UCLA doesn't win the Pac 10 (conference or tourney) and doesn't do much in the NCAAs...what should we as fans take away from this season?
That even the best programs have rebuilding seasons, and all is not lost because a conference title was not won. It happens. That is why it's important to enjoy the great teams, because it cannot last forever.

Do you think any current BB players would make good coaches and you see them pursuing that career path?
I'm sure some would, but I don't know the freshmen that well. I don't know if any will pursue it. I think Aboya would be a tremendous coach because he's a great competitor and he understands the game, but that is not a path he wants to follow.

Do Ben(ucla) and Tim(usc) trade information personally about common opponents who they played and switch during a two game set at home or away?
I doubt it. They may talk a little bit when they run into each other, but I don't get the sense they are chummy with each other.

If Kevin Prince wins the starting job over Brehaut with 4 years eligibility remaining,how do you think that will effect Brehaut's chance of starting?Will Brehaut only get 1 year to play?
No. Injuries, play on the field, if Prince goes on a church mission ... What happens now may not have any bearing on what transpires for the next three years.

I know UCLA knows him, but doesn't think enough to offer a scholarship. So, even though the kid is hot on UCLA, UCLA needs to heat up on him a little more.

Sports Illustrated has its Swimsuit Issue during the slowest time of the sports season. Can we expect something similar from Inside UCLA with Brian Dohn?
So, you want a picture of me in speedos? Or of UCLA players in speedos?

I was at the Stanford and Cal basketball games against UCLA this past week. Hands down, Haas Pavilion was rocking. How did the fans at Haas Pavilion rank with those around the conference?
Oregon and Washington are very similar, but I don't think the Cal fans are as vindictive or mean-spirited about it as Oregon and Washington. However, Cal is a great place to watch a game, and the band is awesome.

Are you familiar with the SI April 1st, 1985 fictional story about Sidd Finch? Would you ever considering doing something like that or do you consider it to be unprofessional? Oh, btw, April is just around the corner.
I am familiar with it. I joked about it nearly every time the Dodgers talked about getting some under-the-radar prospect. ...I would not write that story.
