COLLEGE NEWS

A couple of things that really didn’t fit in any of the previous posts, but I thought you might be interested in …

• GU assistant Bill Grier’s name keeps coming up in the Santa Clara head coach sweepstakes, and it did again – along with Dan Monson’s – in this San Jose Mercury News’ story , but you have to delve almost to the bottom.

• When running back Michael Houston transfered to UW from Texas, everyone wrote about his talent on the field and his ability to get into trouble off the field. The latter has finally caused the Husky football team to cut ties with Houston.

• This has already been reported in the S-R, but the Idaho Statesman has a story on the Vandals filling out their football schedule for the fall.
