This and that from Easter afternoon

SUNDAY AFTERNOON

If you hadn’t noticed, I took today off to spend Easter with the family – and the Masters.

It was nice to see someone new win at Augusta for a change. Did anyone else think Tiger was upset with Steve Williams at 17 after Tiger’s second shot came up short in the bunker?

• The M’s had the day off again, thanks to Cleveland’s spring weather. The teams will try to play a doubleheader tomorrow.

• Dan Monson is back at work, and he talked with John Blanchette about his new job at Long Beach State. He also had a upbeat, well-praised press conference .

• Eastern Washington opens spring football practice Monday, as does the UW . Idaho is in the middle of its practices, holding a scrimmage Saturday.

• I thought this might be the perfect day for a feature Dennis Erickson. And a good one for this interview with former Cougar safety Eric Frampton.

• I’m off to cook dinner. Yes, me. How’s that for busting a stereotype?
