Live thread: Pac-12 Media Day

The long, cold days sans football that began after the 2018 Cheez-Int Bowl will soon be behind us. In just over a month—on August 31—the California Golden Bears will take the field to kick off a new season.

As part of that new-season build, it has become tradition for the Pac-12 to open up and interact with the media in the aptly-name Pac-12 Media Day. We’ve sent our own Rob Hwang and thedozen down there to learn all about this year’s Pac-12, but if you’re lucky enough to get the Pac-12 Networks, then you can tune in for yourself. Here’s today’s schedule (with all times listed in Pacific):

Pac-12 North

• 9:30 a.m.: Oregon Ducks (Mario Cristobal, QB Justin Herbert, LB Troy Dye)
• 9:45 a.m.: Oregon State Beavers (Jonathan Smith, RB Jermar Jefferson, WR Isaiah Hodgins)
• 10:00 a.m.: California Golden Bears (Justin Wilcox, LB Evan Weaver, CB Camryn Bynum)
• 10:15 a.m.: Stanfurd Cardinal (David Shaw, QB K.J. Costello, LB Casey Toohill)
• 10:30 a.m.: Washington State Cougars (Mike Leach, OL Liam Ryan, LB Jahad Woods)

As a true indicator that this is Justin Wilcox’s team, note that we are the only team that sent two defensive players (compared to three teams that sent two offensive players and eight teams who sent an offensive and defensive representative with no teams sending a specialist). Send any questions that you have for the Golden Bears (or any of the other guests) and Rob and thedozen will do their best to ask.
