LIVE at PAC-12 Media Day

So the Boss, Joe Torosian and I are here at the Conga Room at L.A. Live, where we're attending the PAC-12 Men's Basketball Media Day.

Right now, PAC-12 Commissioner Larry Scott is talking about the upcoming TV contracts with the new PAC-12 Networks and ESPN. We'll have quotes and images later on in the day.

The Following are quotes from PAC-12 COmmissioner Larry Scott -

"Coach Wooden will continue to be a guiding light for this conference"

"The remarkable leaders of this conference have allowed the PAC-12 to capture 442 National Championships across ALL Sports."

"We have a rich heritage in this conference, and we have a bright future ahead of us, we will be paving the way for college sports on TV."

"We expect the same kind of dynamic performances we've had in the past."

UPDATE 1: ARIZONA STATE

Herb Sendek and Trent Lockett


UPDATE 2: OREGON STATE

Craig Robinson and Jared Cunningham

Joe Burton is expected to be the "secret weapon" for the Beavers

Never going to stop playing 1-3-1 against Washington as long as one player is still there

Fortunate to have a group of alumni and players have a presence in our program. Not a surprise that they have been disenfranchised, but have had a tremendous amount of support from A.C. Green, Sean Payton, etc. Had 20 past players attend kick off dinner.

UPDATE 3: STANFORD

Johnny Dawkins and Josh Owens

Trip to Spain was memorable for both staff and players, allowed them to integrate new freshmen players into the team

UPDATE 4: OREGON

Dana Altman and Garret Sim

Jabari Brown (freshman) will fit in nicely with the team strategy

Players have made big steps, Devoe Joseph will be eligible after first six games

Garrett's expectations for the team as a senior: Goals much higher than last year. This year people expecting things from us, we have the talent to compete with. Want to leave ORegon on a good note in the right direction.
