Team Tease
-- Bob Condotta pens a must-read piece for the Seattle Times, noting Lou Campanelli's response to Dick Bennett's criticisms of Pac 10 officiating, finding Rob Evans on the hot seat at Arizona State and praising Jay John for bringing life to Oregon State.-- Gene Frenette of the Jacksonville (FL) Sun suggests Sunshine State buyers beware.

--- Former Washington football coach Rick Neuheisel didn't consider his $6,400 wager on the men's NCAA basketball tournaments of 2002 and 2003a "bet." This and more from Gene Johnson of the Associated Press here.
