1) What is Ben Olsen doing (beside your podcast) these days? Does he get paid for the podcost work or does he view it as an internship toward a possible career in sports broadcasting? – Anonymous
Ben is married with a beautiful wife and son and he is very interested in sports broadcasting, and has been fantastic. His perspective is refreshing and rare, particularly from his point as someone who unfortunately missed his senior season, yet was still very much a part of the team.

2) I’m a bit upset (unless my question from last week is one you still intend to get to). Here I ask a legitimate question about a potential recruit for next year (Woodson Greer of Serra) and you don’t answer it, but do answer lame questions not pertaining to UCLA about hot dogs, late night TV hosts, and old, old golf funeral jokes (that one passed by years ago)? – Big Woof!
From the looks of it – 140 tackles and 11.5 sacks, it’s reported – he’s pretty solid. Good size at about 6-foot, 215, and quite the ballhawk. Here’s what Serra coach Scott Altenberg told ESPN: “I’m actually shocked no one has offered Woodson yet,” Altenberg said. “He has all the measurable’s schools are looking for, makes plays all over the field, can run and hit, he’s a physical kid and works very hard. I haven’t had a chance to get his film out yet because I’ve been working hard on getting the seniors a ride somewhere but once schools see his tape, I know the offers will start to flood in.”

3) What is Stan Hasiak’s status? Is there still decisions to be made, or is there a conclusion, but no one is saying it yet? What’s the issue here? – Mike04
A UCLA official told me yesterday that he was still attending classes while indefinitely suspended from the team.

4) Why isn’t Moser and Lane getting more time? They can miss just as many shots as Dragovic, but they’ll be here next year. Don’t you agree that we need to develop the young talent? – Peter
I think both need to be playing more, but they are still very, very raw.

5) How much do you know of Reeves Nelson. It disturbs me that he laughed after missing the front end of an 1 & 1 last Saturday, and he was laughing after fouling out at the Stanford game. Both times we were losing. Does the kid or, for that matter, does the team have any pride at all in wearing the UCLA uniform? – Robert Howe
I’m pretty sure he was laughing out of frustration, not enjoyment.
