Weekly Q&A

How do they choose the matchups for the pac10/big12 challenge? how do they decide which 2 pac10 teams play twice?

Would Malcolm Jones play safety if he plays defense next year? Can you talk about the UCLA RB situation?

Who is probably transferring from the football team, and right now who are the top three on bruins wish list who have not committed?

Do you think Christian Ramirez is going to be in the RB rotation next year or do you think his time has passed?

The bball team actually had a decent showing against #1 Kansas, they kept it close for most of the game and were even threatening a few times. Is it possible this team is actually BETTER in some ways since Drew Gordon left?

What juniors on the football team would you recommend leave early for the draft?

Josh Shirley "gone" rumors real or similar to the line that came out about Jordan James in the weeks prior to his verbal?

Would you say that Rick Neuheisel burned Randall Carroll's redshirt to send a message to Carroll and possibly other players on public behavior?

i am starting to think this year's troubles may be good in one way: it is forcing CBH to finally be more flexible in terms of changing his schemes (defense, and hopefully offense) and giving minutes to the players that show the most effort, rather than by seniority. agree or disagree?

Did you notice that the Pac-10 commercials removed Tiger Woods from their commercials?

Is it me or did Rick Neuheisel seem to age quite a bit during the season?

You mentioned that the Coliseum crowd got under the skin of the UCLA football team. How so?

Is Bryan Price going pro? Can BB be successful in a bad pac-10?

Mr. Gold, I am a big time USC fan and I am not here to upset the UCLA fanbase, but my question is how is UCLA viewing the rebuilding USC season? Does it feel that they are getting closer to the same talent level or that UCLA maybe missed their best chance to defeat USC? Thank you in advance.

Any real word on whether Brian Price is leaning towards staying or heading to the NFL this year?

Is Mobley supposed to finish at the JC in December and start at UCLA in January, or not finish until June and join UCLA in the summer?

How do we look for Terrance Jones? Do you view him as more a one-and-done type?

congratulations:

Offensive Player of the Year: Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford
Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year: Brian Price, DT, UCLA
Offensive Freshman of the Year: LaMichael James, RB, Oregon
Defensive Freshman of the Year: Vontaze Burfict, MLB, Arizona State
Coach of the Year: Chip Kelly, Oregon

Do you think we lead for Lazeric Jones at this point? If we whiff on both McCallum and Jones, do you think Ben offers LaBradford Franklin?

How did your final AP ballot look for football season?

Do you see any of the Freshman who played this year (Carrol, Thigpen, Hillard, Brehaut) redshirting next year? Can you give us a list of who redshirted this year?

Have you heard if any of the recruits (Jones, James, Ward, Nottingham) are planning on enrolling early for Spring Ball?

Who will be the best offensive player on the football team next year?

I think Howland had to stand his ground or lose the team with regard to Drew Gordon. A single bad attitude is poison to a team and if Howland had caved to talent, he would have lost respect. Do you believe this to be the case, or do you think Howland needs to learn to bend, and cater to individuals more?

With Honeycutt back, will Jerime move to the bench? I can't see him starting over Roll, Lee and Honeycutt.

As an aside, ever think about changing the name of the website? You can do some fun and interesting titles especially with your last name. I smell a viewer poll...

Brian Kelly told his players last Thursday that he was not going to leave Cincinnati and today he tweets that he's going to interview with Notre Dame.

Why would a coach tell people that he's not interested for a head coaching job and end up interviewing?

I think that Roll would be better at point than anyone now playing;do you agree?

It is a HUGE disappointment, but I am planning to go to the Emerald Nut Bowl this year instead of the BCS Championship Game. Do you have any recommendations for any good restuarants or nightclubs I can visit while in San Francisco? I heard the Castro gets pretty hot. Thanks in advance.

Who wins the cross-town football rivalry next year?

Jon, great job you do with the blog. Thank you. What do you think about Charlie Weis' comments regarding Pete Carroll living with a graduate student in Malibu? Who has the bigger Ego, Charlie or throw-the-bomb Pete?

Hi Jon,

How much of voting for the POY by coaches recognition and also trying to pump a player up so they may be more inclined to turn pro. I am sure, many Pac10 coaches don't want to see Price stay for his sr season.

You didn't answer my question last week, Jon. Don't know why. I'll try again. What happened to Carrie Rubertino, the men's basketball trainer for the past few years? Thank you.

uuhh, i missed the whole gorden thing. what exactly happened? why isnt he on the team? thnx

How do you feel recruiting is coming along this year? Overall does UCLA begin to close the gap between them and other Pac-10 school's?

Do you believe that traveling partners Utah and BYU should join the Pac-10?

Does UCLA have a chance with Marquis Flowers?

is there any way you could closely monitor this page and delete the stupid comments from the university of south central fans ?

Jon,
it appears there may be many head coaching vacancies this year, one at San Jose State and possibly Stanford if Harbaugh is wooed to the Dome.
Realizing that coach Chow's compensation was subsidized by the Titans for the last two seasons and the budget cuts implemented by the state of California, will the school be able to retain him at his current pay or does Coach Chow still have an itch to be scratched (head coach position)?

Who did you give your Heisman vote to?

Is Xavier Su'a Filo still planning on going on his LDS mission next year?

I read somewhere that Jayson Allmond may be tried at Mike. If that were to happen,would the coaches look at trying Golper at Fullback? I saw him play at Arcadia and he had great hands and was actually one of their top receivers two years in a row and I think he played fullback as a sophomore. His high school highlight tapes on Scout show him catching a lot of passes

could you put the first interview with Ben Olson on iTunes?

What is the status of Prince's arm injury sustained in the USC game?

any footballers going to be on the track team this year?
Rosario?
Thigpen?
Carroll?
others?

Jon,

Any word on how DeWayne Walker did at NMSU? Looks like a 3-10 season, any idea if that was a successful one. Also seems as though he's looking for a new RB coach and OC, anyone from UCLA going to get a look?

Why are some teams playing 13 games?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Any thoughts on which recruits the football team will be able to bring in to finish out this recruiting class?

Do you think Hasiak will stay at UCLA? (please say!... please!)

What's going on with Robert Woods? I hear the staff is putting the full court press on him. What are the chances he ends up a Bruin?

Jon -- Who do you think will win the football game between UCLA and SC in 2021 and why?? :-)

Do our mormon players travel on Sunday?
