Will you be in the Seahawks "War Room" on draft day?

A: Yes, I will pretend to be a Top Pot donut employee and relay messages from Jeremy Bates to Pete Carroll on whether or not to select Jake Locker. Actually, I don't see why Carroll would take anyone else since he always said Locker was the best quarterback he ever faced.

Q: Rex Griswald said:
Any updates on possible incoming football transfers?

A: I heard there was contact from an Iowa player recently but right now nothing concrete. Something might happen around mid-May.

Q: SC for LIFE said:
Scott - recently Matt Barkley and Robert Woods had video cameras hooked up to their heads during practice to give the public a bird's eye view of what they see and what it's like to be a football player.

Any truth to the rumors you too will be wearing one too sometime soon? You know, so the public can get a bird's eye view of what it's like to stalk college cheerleaders and coaches?

Thanks for the forum.

A: I don't think Lane Kiffin would appreciate being on video when we cross paths on campus because it would show how few students ever say hello.

I know I'm being a pest about Swim With Mike but...practice is scheduled for 10:30. Will I be able to each my $15 lunch on the artificial turf and watch the end of practice?

A: I am going to need to look into this and answer tomorrow. It is a good question.

Well I'm still waiting. SWM is on Sat.

ANSWER: I wasn't able to answer that question until right before the Swim With Mike because USC's been very late in announcing that the past two Saturday practices were switched to the Coliseum. For example, one email was sent out late in the evening saying the morning practice would be at the Coliseum. I'm not sure why this happened when these Coliseum practices get planned well in advance. For example, charter buses are ordered to take the team to the Coliseum, so everyone should have been told at least a week ahead of time.

I'm sure I just don't appreciate good humor, but is it really true that you don't believe Fresno State is a real school? What about San Diego State? What about Cerritos College? Are you jealous of Stanford and Cal Tech grads? While Kiffin graduated from Fresno State and you graduated from USC, wouldn't you agree that Kiffin has had a more successful career than you have had?

A: I agree with you. You don't appreciate good humor because Pat Haden enjoyed my joke. And you are right, Lane Kiffin is more successful than me. I've never gone 20-26 as a head coach. And my dad wasn't Monte Kiffin, which enabled me to get two of the best college jobs in America. I would go on, but I'm sure you fail to see the humor.
