Description: John Canzano joins Puck every Tuesday to discuss all things college sports, life and wherever else our conversation goes. John is a 14-time Associated Press Sports Editors award winner and was named the number one sports columnist in the country in 2008.  His weekly appearance is brought to you by Zeeks Pizza.  Visit ZeeksPizza.com.  The Northwest's number 1 pizza! Local ingredients and local craft beer! On today's show, Puck and John talk about their inspiration to go out on their own and what led to their decisions to work for themselves.  The conversation then turns toward the Iowa and LSU game and both marvel at the athleticism, physicality and speed of the game and whether or not Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese can make like a "Magic/Bird" transition to the WNBA. John talks about the three-point line fiasco in Portland where the court had two different three-point lines and how the mistake happened, who is to blame and who the person was that tipped of the NCAA about the issue. Spoiler...it was a fan sitting in the 300 level who noticed the discrepancy . Puck then turns his anger toward Pat Chun leaving WSU for UW and John tries to walk him off the ledge, but Puck is having none of it.  Puck calls him a "Benedict Arnold!"   John also reveals that Washington President Ana Marie Cauce will likely soon leave as president and that an announcement could happen in the next 5-6 months.  Multiple insiders and athletic directors are aware of the move, but not sure of the reason.  John ultimately thinks this will be a good thing for the Huskies, because Cauce has stumbled as president in regards to athletics. They then turn their attention to Kyle Smith and his decision to leave Pullman and head to Stanford. Also, the Montana State hoops coach turns WSU down.  How big of a problem is that for WSU? John thinks it's not an issue, but they need to find the right coach soon. Finally, what's the future ownership of both the Blazers and Seahawks?  Jody Allen is the head of the trust and she must sell off all of her brothers assets. So, why has she not done so yet?  John gives his answer....money.
