Your heart's in it, which it

13
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.719
sometimes our brain is not, but
our heart is our memory. But but

14
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.960
I've said this a number of times
and you've agreed. We've talked to people.

15
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.400
This is kind of we're shooting the
bull at a bar. What's coming

16
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.599
up, right or what's not coming? Well? We don't go to bars

17
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.400
anymore, Steve. So, I
think we're more like we're like a beyond

18
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.680
bread or something like that. But
we're an olive garden. But you know,

19
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.879
hanging out. We're sure it'll stay
late at docket football, right,

20
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.560
you know me? You know,
yeah, you might say maybe like a

21
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.599
Bob Dob or a trident or something, hanging out, you know, talking

22
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.439
stuff. You know, guys listening
to the show. You know, I

23
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.799
go to my breakfast club every Tuesday
and somebody has a comment about something that

24
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.760
we've talked about during the week,
and uh, and it's very cool to

25
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.120
have that kind of that kind of
listenership. But then also just that people

26
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.799
understand all we're trying to do is
have some conversation. Sure, get some

27
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.840
informission out there. If we have
it a good show today. I think

28
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.840
it's gonna be a good show today. We're gonna have a kind of looking

29
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.519
at a high school stuff that we're
gonna start with with mister Nugent, Nugent's

30
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.719
former protege of Dick Tomy, the
day Guy. He was at Sianega High

31
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.959
School for a number of years.
Not Mike Mountain High School got their pro

32
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:07.120
program started over there. Yeah,
well he was at CEO and then Santego

33
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.560
and then he's been around. He's
been around and had a lot of great

34
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.439
success. Another good year for him, he's expected, so that'll be fun.

35
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.520
And then one of the guys where
he was a ga at u A.

36
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.400
I'm pretty sure this is true.
Uh it was. It was John

37
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:27.759
Fina when he was when when when
new was a g a at a long

38
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:32.120
time ago. Yeah, yeah,
he's kind of fifty something, so so

39
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.919
we're gonna have John Fina and I
wanted to have him on. Uh.

40
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.400
We saw him this weekend at the
South Point game, just talking about real

41
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.400
quick what he sees because they're big
dudes, they're big dudes. And was

42
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.879
he one of those big dudes because
you were impressed with uh with not Will,

43
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.759
with Will height and rushing both of
those guys. You know, we

44
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.719
saw them big dudes. You seeing
him in person was different. I mean

45
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.759
just big big guys that Yeah,
they did. They stood out right,

46
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.319
they stood out among you know on
the said okay, I know which too,

47
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.319
I'm looking at and you know why
they're being recruited right because they just

48
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.879
got the body. You know,
you can't again you can't teach having that

49
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.080
body, having that frame that they
that both of them have. And again

50
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:19.199
I've said aliveah, Russians arms are
some of the longest arms I've ever seen.

51
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:21.879
I mean, he is a big, tall guy, yet he's got

52
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.800
i mean, he's got a he's
got a wingspan that's crazy. And for

53
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.919
somebody you know coming up, you
know, Russing on the end, that's

54
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.080
what they're looking for. Gotta give
credit to Carter Garrett two because there are

55
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.000
skinny dudes coming in. Yeah,
they're not skinny dudes anymore. Nah,

56
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.680
they're not. They're both really good
size. I mean, you know,

57
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.639
on the very first play of the
game, will Hike you know, sack

58
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:46.319
the quarterback. You know, saw
that on Twitter and stuff. So these

59
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:47.639
guys look, you know, like
they might be the real deal. I

60
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.199
mean, they won forty two forty
two fourteen right against Brana, who,

61
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.479
by all accounts is a really good
team, and they just kind of handled

62
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.120
him. Yeah, okay, So
we talked to him about a number of

63
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.560
different things. Now that we start
to seize for you of a what he

64
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.599
went through early in the season as
they started to prepare for a season.

65
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.039
Right, it should be fun he's
I always tease him because he's always the

66
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:14.360
smartest dude in the room. Yeah. So uh But looking at Mica mount

67
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.800
S, they won their first game
thirty four twenty eight. They school cap

68
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:21.720
posting, butte wherever that might be. And then they've got Mesquite this week

69
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.879
and then they go into the Tucson
schedule with uh Sabino Sunny and Sunnyside of

70
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.439
the next two weeks. Right,
I guess Sabino was was pretty impressive.

71
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.759
Beat my Sorrel Cougars on Friday night. Okay, the smaller school that didn't

72
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.120
used to happen, but it does
now. Kind of a smaller school,

73
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.319
smaller school, Okay, cool,
So whatever you want to do, we

74
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.800
could get take calls five to zero, four, one, six, seventy

75
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.959
four, forty if you'd like to
give us a quick call. We have

76
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:51.160
our boy Noah here, a man
in the station. Yeah, it's it's

77
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.720
a cutdown day in the nfls.
We're getting some names in of people who

78
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.519
are getting cut some former Arizona guys, a lot of a lot of moves

79
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.079
being made, aid, a lot
of things going on. So well,

80
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.879
we'll talk about some of those dream
breaking news. But one of the interesting

81
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.720
things that you're just starting to hear
a buzz about this, Steve, and

82
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.480
it's with your favorite about your favorite
guy, Kyler Murray, who apparently he

83
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.439
got put on the unable to perform
lists, so he's out for the first

84
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:24.040
four games. The Cardinals cut the
guy who's been the backup all along,

85
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.759
Colt McCoy. They traded for,
traded for a guy, you know last

86
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:32.879
week. They've got two guys that
basically haven't played, and so a lot

87
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.040
of the conversation, you know,
he can't get past things past everybody are

88
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.600
that the Cardinals are already tanking to
go get Caleb Williams, which means Kyler

89
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.560
Murray's days would be numbered after giving
him a huge contract he's got, He's

90
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.439
got three years of a guaranteed contract
ahead of him. He was a smart

91
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.879
dude just for that reason, because
he pressured him into getting him signed.

92
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.600
And I don't get this because I
know they needed a quarterback at the time,

93
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:00.680
and that was last year, right
was it? The last year?

94
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.519
A few months that they needed and
they didn't know what to do. And

95
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.199
he's still the same dude. He's
the same guy. He's the same guy.

96
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.879
He's not. I'm here sitting in
tuc soun talking about this. It's

97
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.480
not a dude, that's any not. That's kind of an NFL worthy of

98
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.639
a Super Bowl. Yeah, the
Bucks, the odds makers are saying,

99
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.600
are picking the Cardinals the worst record
in the league four, which would get

100
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.519
them the first pick in the draft. And Caleb Williams is clearly the first

101
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.240
pick in the draft. It's back
to that thing because they remember they drafted

102
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.240
Josh Rosen with their first number one
pick, had him for a year,

103
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.959
cut him loose and got and got
Kyler Murray, and I got Kyler Murray,

104
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.319
signed him to a huge contract.
And now they're saying, well,

105
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.519
we might they might want to go
get Caleb Williams. Yeah, talks tells

106
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.079
you how good you have to be
to play in the NFL. We get

107
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.639
Jody in here, Jody Ailer,
he's always got a good perspective on on

108
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.680
that, because well, you remember
last year, I think I gave him

109
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.519
grief because he talked about them beating
Kansas City because he didn't think Kansas City

110
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.879
was gonna care about the game.
And then McManaman, who thought they were

111
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.160
gonna be pretty good. Yeah,
not so much. Not much, not

112
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:10.600
so much. That's it's it's it's
amazing though, that how quickly something can

113
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.560
turn because he was the guy,
right, he's the guy. We got

114
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.279
to give him a big contract.
He's our quarterback of the future, and

115
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.959
a year later maybe not so much. Well, if he doesn't do it

116
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.560
in the NFL, you could always
do it in baseball because he's one of

117
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.759
those. But now, you know, I mean they're going into the season.

118
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.800
They're gonna play the first four games
with two guys at quarterback that yeah,

119
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.480
they don't have they've not played.
You know, what are you gonna

120
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.120
do with these guys? And so
you are you gonna be owing four?

121
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.720
They go, They open with the
Commanders, but it's at the Commanders.

122
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.040
You know, Ron River's trying to
turn things around over there. You would

123
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.600
expect the Cardinals to be owing four
by the time Kyler Murray gets back.

124
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.240
If throwing four, that's it.
Yeah. You know who comes back from

125
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.639
owen four and has a decent season, you know it gets in the playoffs

126
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.240
or any of that. Do you
imagine how money much money you have in

127
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.480
the bank or wherever you have that
money where you could pay a dude like

128
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.439
this a lot of money and not
really to say, Okay, my bad,

129
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.040
I messed up. You wonder if
it's like financing a car or something,

130
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.240
you know, do they do they
finance that their players are How does

131
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.120
that work still be paid? That
cars is getting old? That car is

132
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.839
really old. It's kind of an
old jeloppy. But you know, interesting

133
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.240
to see what they're gonna you know, what they're gonna do with with Kyler

134
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.959
Murray and again already missing in the
first four games. How do you come

135
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.079
out of that? And if you
start off on four, first, you

136
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.920
got to recover from that. And
then how long does it take to recover

137
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.000
from that? How long does it
take before Kyler Murray is good enough to

138
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.399
make a difference in a game?
You know, I don't know, I

139
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.720
don't know. I mean, aren't
the Cardinals already in a position where they're

140
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.720
gonna have to think about about tanking
the season before the season is even It's

141
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.440
we're not even to the weekend before
the season yet in the NFL, right,

142
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.039
Well, I get it, I
get it. Okay, So we'll

143
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.480
talk about about that as well,
and then we'll talk to you to Nugent

144
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.399
looking forward to that and talk to
him in a while and then pin in

145
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.320
the second hour. Yep, ye, okay, what else is going on?

146
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.799
You know, just getting ready for
football. It's all the talk.

147
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.159
You know, a lot of people, it's you can tell. I mean,

148
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.440
we went through a period of time
where if if people were talking about

149
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.279
the football season, they were talking
about how either they were dreading it or

150
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.639
mentioning that they didn't care about it. The people that I run into,

151
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:20.919
I got run into a lot of
people were just saying, you know,

152
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.480
they're really interested to see what's gonna
happen, hoping for the best, excited.

153
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.519
I mean, if they get forty
five, forty six thousand for an

154
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.159
NAU game, would have to look
back and see when was the last time

155
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.039
NAU came here and there was that
much of a crowd for them. Yeah,

156
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.240
of course that's tickets sold. We'll
see what people show up. Yeah,

157
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.919
it's gonna be nice weather. Apparently. All I know is, you

158
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.039
know, my sister coming down from
Phoenix to go to the game. I

159
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.480
had to get to two tickets today, you know, and she comes down

160
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.799
to a game or two a year, but it's usually like, you know,

161
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.080
they're really good games, and she
wanted to come down here. Her

162
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.799
and her husband wanted to come get
down here and you know, catch the

163
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.279
first game because you know, they're
excited about it. Yeah, okay,

164
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.919
you didn't you didn't hit up anybody
for tickets, No, you know,

165
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.399
we wanted. I'm a little concerned
that, you know, are the seats

166
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.960
around us are actually taken. I've
gone on the website and they are.

167
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.279
You know. We we've we've been
kind of lonely up there the last the

168
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.080
last few years. We're section twenty
three, we're in row fifty six.

169
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.639
We're right on the aisle at twenty
three and twenty four, and it's been

170
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.919
lonely, you know. There.
We've been able to spread out and you

171
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.639
know stuff, and if somebody wanted
to go to the game, they just

172
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.679
get tickets and then just come and
say with us. And I don't know

173
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.440
that we're gonna be able to do
that that much. We'll be looking at

174
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.320
when on the website today to look
for tickets for the game, and the

175
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.000
seats all around us are taken,
you know, except there were two left

176
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.159
and we nab those. That's a
good problem to have, at least for

177
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.200
you. Yeah, and so we'll
see you should be fun though to kick

178
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.000
off of the season. But a
big games. There's one Thursday Utah to

179

game in your team. Oh God,

180
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.240

181
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.559
Yeah, well you're Tom, You're

182
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.919

184
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.200

a standalone game. It's a it's a

186
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.919
in Orlando wedge. There's a hurricane
coming in, so we'll see you know

187
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.279
when that that hurricane hits and passes
in time for for them to still be

188
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.559
able. Doesn't give a crap.

We'll see how good they are. I'm

211
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.799
curious about that man and Feenix,
whose son Bruno is a part of the

212
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:00.879
team. We'll ask him about what's
going on over there. Brune was Bruno

213
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:07.360
was interviewed on by UCLA and put
it on Twitter. He sounded exactly like

214
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.720
I even I even wrote that,
and John said to me, you're not

215
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.360
alone. People thought it was.
He looks a lot bigger than dad.

216
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.559
Ever was no question. We'll talk
about that because he I'm sure he had

217
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:24.519
the same frame. But he is
easy, big white guy. Yeah,

Jay Gonzalez on Fox Sports fourteen fifty
eight. Hey, welcome back to Island

315
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.759
Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty
I'm Steve River here, JACKINSAWUS now and

316
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:42.160
I phone. We have patent nugit
from Micael Mountain High School. How are

317
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.440
you coaching? Hi, Steve,
Thanks for having me on today. Sure

318
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.680
of course we wanted a touch base
with you as the season starts. You

319
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.400
had a big win last week.
Had that go, oh great win for

320
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.319
us. You know, we had
to go up to post abusin about a

321
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.880
hundred and two at kickoff, the
kids were miserable, but you know,

322
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.519
we got beat by forty by them
last year. They're a heck of a

323
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.720
program, really doing a great job. So we got a nice team this

324
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.559
year and we were excited to get
out of that. It was a drag

325
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.480
it out at or with them.
They run a little wing tea and uh,

326
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:12.279
you know, we've got some offensive
weapons and we were able to pull

327
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.440
it out at the end with a
one minute left in the game. So

328
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:19.079
won that game thirty four to twenty
eight on the road, and great start

329
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.279
of our season. So when when
you when you compare those two, uh,

330
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.359
you know, the two games that
you know, you get beat by

331
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.599
forty, then you come back and
beat these guys at their place. What

332
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:32.079
you know, what what was different? What were the major differences between you

333
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:34.079
know, last year and this year
in terms of your team. Yeah,

334
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:38.279
the biggest things players. We had
about six starters out that game due to

335
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.319
injuries. We had two transfer kids
that were in eligible to play. So

336
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:47.119
we've been a different team for the
last six games. The last five games

337
00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:51.079
of last year, you know,
we were one and four with some injuries,

338
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.160
got a couple of our top players
back, got a couple of transfers

339
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:56.519
in, so we won the last
five games and here we are with another

340
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.960
wood this year. So we got
an excited team. You know, we're

341
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.759
we're a new school. We only
lost seven kids from last year team,

342
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.720
only three starters, and we had
an entire offense was returning. So we're

343
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.880
in a good situation. We're excited
about where we're going and looking for big

344
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.920
things this year. Sorry for not
knowing this, but are you in your

345
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.920
second or third year there? This
is the third year, but this is

346
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.680
only our second year of varsity football. We played an abbreviated schedule our first

347
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.720
year here with only six games,
so in reality, he was only two

348
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.920
full years. That's why he asked, because you did a great job at

349
00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.559
Cdeo. You left there, you
went to East to Stanegust have worked out

350
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.920
there, did very well, and
then you decided to move to Michael Outain.

351
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:42.559
What are you thinking starting those programs
all over again. We can put

352
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.880
most of the plan on Neimur hass
Nemur and I've been friends for days,

353
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.720
my flowing wealth days, and uh, you know, he came over here.

354
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:53.359
We basically built the school. He
was, you know, a big

355
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.720
part of me coming over and he
allowed me to you know, diagram some

356
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.440
of the facilities and what wanted in
the weight room. So it was a

357
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.880
neat experience coming over here. But
it has been challenging, and you know,

358
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.039
bringing a brand new school leaving leaving
a monster and we had at Sienego

359
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.759
was a tough lead. You know, most of the staff and a lot

360
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.759
of my coaches were coming over to
micam out and so here we are and

361
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.440
trying to do things here at MICAH. What do you think was not a

362
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.440
couple of years into it, right, what do you think is was the

363
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.039
hardest thing about starting a new program
like this, you know, at a

364
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:27.240
brand new school, right. I
mean you like you said, I mean

365
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:32.519
you literally built this thing from the
ground up. Without question. It's been

366
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:36.400
cultures. You know, you have
nothing. We started that first year and

367
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.440
basically sophomores and you know, a
few juniors in the mix, and there

368
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:42.839
was no leadership, no senior,
no hey, we did it this way

369
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:48.039
for four years. It was everything
new. So and even last year with

370
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.119
only seven seniors, it was it
was just no culture, no leadership.

371
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.119
And everything we've done from the room
to the summer program to the practice,

372
00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:57.960
you know, none of these kids
that ever learn anything. So now you

373
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.559
know what's going on. And we've
got a tremendous staff. And I'm not

374
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.559
sure if you know this, but
we added Richards Funches to our staff at

375
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:08.599
the end of the last year and
Richard back with us and he's just doing

376
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:11.480
tremendous things for the offensive line.
And you know, we're just trying to

377
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:18.160
change culture and the right direction.
Wow, cows be. He must be

378
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.400
in heaven, not having to deal
with the being the head coach, but

379
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.599
being able to coach or being allowed
to coach. Richard's he has dedicated any

380
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:29.960
assistant I've ever had, that's for
sure. But he doesn't like any of

381
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.079
the extra coaching stuff. He loves
being a part of it, but he

382
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.559
knows I got to deal with all
the extra b craft. You know,

383
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.440
get him on the phone, listen
to him. Well, I've seen him

384
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.079
in the locker room, so I
can only imagine, you know, the

385
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.119
types of things that he brings,
you know, to your team, especially

386
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.000
when you're trying to, as you
said, establish the culture and you know,

387
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:49.759
let these people, let the players
know, you know, there's discipline

388
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.799
involved in all these kinds of things. It's certainly a guy like him.

389
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:56.240
And then you know, with your
history and that's a that's it's quite quite

390
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.200
a locker room that you guys have. It's been experience from me, you

391
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.519
know. And I've got Brett Darland's
been with me for many years and he's

392
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.279
our def coperinator. But you know, it's always nice to bring in an

393
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.200
extra guy that you know you can
learn from him. And this is my

394
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.359
thirty third year, and I'm learning
every day from Richard, and you know,

395
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:17.920
he's a different personality than I,
so it's a nice mix that we

396
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:19.400
deal with. You know, he
gets after the kids and I got a

397
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:25.279
fan in the book getting back to
going. So it's been a great experience

398
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.119
having him. He's having a lot
of fun, I think, and after

399
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:30.480
so many years of his stuff,
he's really enjoying it. So now you've

400
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.799
really aged us. You were a
ga at you very under Dick told me

401
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:38.759
that the student made I went.
I was a little I did a little

402
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:44.200
bit more work than I was a
student manager that had to do all the

403
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:48.079
dirty works all the time, getting
equipment out and travel and so so look

404
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.279
out. So yeah, Lookward's gotten
you. You know, it's nice.

405
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.960
Nice Arnt. You know I've been
you know, it's it's funny. My

406
00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:56.599
dad with a high school coach I
worked for. Coach told me and I

407
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.200
left the football field, and most
people forget that I was at TEAMA for

408
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:06.599
five years and you know, that
was the knockdown experience over there. That

409
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.039
was a real battle and we got
back into the high school ranks. And

410
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:12.720
this is the twenty six year being
a head coach and thirty third is a

411
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:18.119
high school football coach, so you
never know. Yeah, you've certainly seen

412
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:19.079
a lot. So tell us a
little bit, a little bit about your

413
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.240
team at least what you know,
what you think you know after a first

414
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.680
game and obviously a fall camp,
you know, do you have a sense

415
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:33.160
of what your team is? Well? You know you got experienced players right

416
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.400
now? Is this before the entire
offense was back? And you know our

417
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:41.480
number of the player of the year
offensively was our quarterback in in Thorns and

418
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.839
Jayden's only in junior right now,
and he got the player of the year

419
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.039
last year and as a sophomore.
And then we had the player of the

420
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.279
year Cason Colburg. He only played
six games for US last year. Cason's

421
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.359
is one of the top players I've
ever had. He's a beast. The

422
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.160
other night he had a hundred and
thirty eight yards rushing on eleventh carry,

423
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:04.839
sixteen tackles. He's just an animal. I rank him in my top ten

424
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:10.039
without question. And guys I've coached
before, so he's a physical specimen.

425
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.799
And we just got Devin Haywood,
you know whose brother played for me over

426
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:17.799
at Sianega. Devon's great two way
started forth Jonah Garcia. So we've got

427
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.200
some skilled kids and right now with
Richard running the offensive line, he's putting

428
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.359
a different culture with those guys and
they're they're doing a great job. So

429
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.480
we're excited. Our kids fly around
of football and the defense side of the

430
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.839
ball, and you know, we're
ready to go for me Schee this week.

431
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:36.200
So this is gonna be a weird
question for you to answer, but

432
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:40.000
I want you to if you can. You've been very successful all the places

433
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.680
you've been. Cdo sanega. Like
I said, now, Michael Moon,

434
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.559
what do you think your secret sauces? I know this is talking about you,

435
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:52.440
but what do you think because this
doesn't happen by accident? Well,

436
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.599
you know, number one, I
have great assistance guys. I want to

437
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:59.359
put the effort in. We work
really hard from the summer on so that

438
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.000
that's the first priority is commitment and
dedication the program. But you know,

439
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.759
I think the other thing too is
uh, we have developed a culture with

440
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.000
our kids who who want to play
for us. Well, kids love coming

441
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:12.839
to practice, they don't miss practice, they want to be a part of

442
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.759
our program. We we spoil them
without question. They get meals and four

443
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.039
game the uniforms. You know,
Michael Mountain right now probably the only school

444
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:25.079
in the city that's got two helmets
and four different uniforms. So we've tried

445
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.119
to spoil our kids the best we
can, and they enjoy our program and

446
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.240
we get kids out that want to
stay with us. And it's a four

447
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.720
year experience and that if wins games
is having a senior class and worked every

448
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.759
day. So and I know,
you know, every coach goes into the

449
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.359
season say we want to win a
championship and those kinds of things. You're

450
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:47.319
you're in a region with you know, with CDO and you know, the

451
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.640
one top top teams in the in
the state in four A. But you

452
00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:56.680
know what's your approach to uh,
you know what your your your season long

453
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.319
goal is. I mean, how
do you look at that? Uh?

454
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.160
And you know what's good for you
guys? Well, you know the thing

455
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.480
is, you know, and once
again say our kids are all back.

456
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.319
We didn't lose. So we've got
another junior class in. So we've got

457
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.680
fifty nine kids in our program right
now. But the big thing for us

458
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:17.640
is we went we won our last
five games for by over twenty points.

459
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:19.400
In every game, and we actually
beat CDO to win the league title by

460
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:23.319
twenty last year, and you know, we know where we're at. And

461
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:27.559
unfortunately, due to our injuries and
the things that happened to us early year,

462
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.920
we were wonting four. We didn't
make the playoffs. And I think

463
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.240
every kid in the program knew that
if we won the playoffs, and you

464
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.960
know, nothing against CEO, but
they got to play us in the state

465
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.960
semifinals, and we felt we should
have been there. We should have been

466
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:42.799
in a state championship. But we've
made mistakes early in the year. We

467
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:47.039
can get in the tournament. But
once we got our dudes back, we

468
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:49.519
were a different football team. So
those about five games were a little different

469
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:55.319
than the first five games. Yeah, tell me how was the Tucson scene

470
00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:57.680
for for high school football these days? And though we will talk about this

471
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:03.079
point, but you out there have
been pretty good too. You know,

472
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.920
it's hard, Steve and Jay,
it's Tucson football has not looked very well.

473
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.759
You know in the state. The
big powers are starting to dominate a

474
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.519
little bit, and we haven't want
to stay titling a long time down here.

475
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:17.559
And you know, it's it's our
lower levels. The three a's do

476
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:19.440
well. The two ways doing did
with you know, Pushria, just Abino

477
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:23.079
and those type of guys. Thatcher
is doing a great job. But reality,

478
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.599
it's about big boys football and we've
got to do a better job.

479
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.279
And obviously Stout Points are our mainstay, and Stout Points are always going to

480
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.440
be powerhouse. They're they're gonna get
the best kids in Tucson and they're gonna

481
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:37.680
be able to compete. And unfortunately, now being in six A, they

482
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.240
get pounded and they just don't quite
have those kids. They get beat up

483
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.759
to ten weeks in a row,
you know. So you know, Tucson

484
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.640
is always going to be you know, the upper age and there's five to

485
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.079
six really good teams and then the
bottom bottom half is not very good.

486
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:55.839
And that's why two sons not highly
regarded. You know. What we what

487
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:57.359
we have seen though, was you
know some local kids, you know,

488
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.920
getting out, getting you know,
vision, playing some in some Division one

489
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.480
scholarships things like that. I mean, I mean there is some talent in

490
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:07.480
the you know, in the community, right I mean, we know,

491
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:10.200
you know a couple of guys over
at South Point, you know, going

492
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.400
to Arizona and there's there's been just
a few of though a number of those.

493
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.160
You think there's a that is growing
a little bit, not enough,

494
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:22.000
I don't. I don't think.
I don't even know if there was a

495
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:25.519
d one kid last year that came
out, you know, so we're setting

496
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.039
Obviously you've got the b Johns and
stuff, but they're one and every couple

497
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.400
of years and then that's the Unfortunately, I think there's more talent, but

498
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:36.880
with the Phoenix powerhouses, there's so
many kids getting recruited up there. We're

499
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:38.200
just not getting those kids. I
mean, you can always go down the

500
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:44.079
line and myself, I've had the
tennis boys played for me, Dan played

501
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:47.400
for me, Jamari Joyner. So
we always have our one and few in

502
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:49.000
there, but we don't have enough. You know. We've got a couple

503
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.839
of kids right now and Jimmy Lyons
a defensive lignement for us that's already been

504
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.160
offered by a issue and you know, so you're always going to have one

505
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:59.960
there. But I think we need
to get more kids. It's got to

506
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.880
be four or five kids got to
get out of two times for us to

507
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.640
get the guarded better. How do
you how do you think you'd do that?

508
00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:10.480
What's what's the path for that?
You know, it's tough. I

509
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.839
mean, it goes all the way
down to our youth football programs. We've

510
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:16.960
got to continue to build those programs, continue to have better coaching, and

511
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.200
you know, we've we've got to
continue to keep kids into some Unfortunately,

512
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:24.720
parents are chasing the dream, I
think, and I think a lot of

513
00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:30.559
parents will go other districts, other
cities, other states, And you know,

514
00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:31.880
that's one of the things. We
had a young man a couple of

515
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.240
years ago, our first year with
a freshman freshman phenom. Well dad picked

516
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.119
him up and got him out and
went to Texas. You know, we've

517
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:43.519
got to continue to get kids going
and keep them going and uh continue to

518
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:45.480
try to play some of those big
our houses in Phoenix and win games.

519
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:50.440
So how did that kid do?
Did you follow it? Oh? Yeah,

520
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:52.640
he aids in San Antonio playing for
one of the biggest programs over there.

521
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.400
Going to be a junion this year, so I think I think he'll

522
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:59.359
be pretty special. So we're not. I'm not sure where he's at right

523
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.920
now, but it's hard to it's
hard to blame those guys, right everybody's

524
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:06.680
chasing the bag and chasing the dream. But it's possible here too, though

525
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.400
you have to convince them it's here
too. Well it is, but you

526
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:14.559
know, your football on ESPN on
Saturdays and the five high school football game

527
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:17.599
packed houses. And unfortunately for us, you go to Friday night game not

528
00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.039
unveil theil we're going to fill.
The stands are unveil. But most high

529
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.640
schools don't do very very well on
Friday nights, and they're not filling stands

530
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:28.799
and they're not getting the people out. The numbers are decreasing. This is

531
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.240
my lowest freshman football team. We
only have thirty six kids. That's the

532
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:36.720
lowest number I've ever had in my
career. So footballs, you know,

533
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:39.039
not getting participation. The bands aren't
as big as they used to be,

534
00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:44.200
so there's a lot going on in
life. I think it's keeping kids away

535
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.039
from certain things. Yeah no,
I hear I hear well. I I

536
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.279
mean we were there, we were
at sel pointing. Their band walked on

537
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.599
the field and I was kind of
like, is that all of them?

538
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.599
So yeah, exactly, you know, and for a guy that's in you

539
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:58.279
know, I'm an old timer and
it's a long time I see. I

540
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:00.440
was here in the nineties, and
I remember the great coaches in the nineties

541
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:05.119
and those guys are gone. I
mean when I was a young assistant coaches,

542
00:34:05.200 --> 00:34:07.320
there was a legendary coach in every
high school and no offense to my

543
00:34:07.719 --> 00:34:12.320
my peers. Right now, it's
not a lot of name guys coaching right

544
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:15.920
now. And it's hard, hard
to keep coaches in the business for multiple

545
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.880
reasons. And you know that's that's
been the downer and Tucson I think,

546
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.519
yeah, well you keep doing it
though, so you know your name applying

547
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.119
to you, I don't know.
I think I'll be an intern somewhere else,

548
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.119
maybe maybe for you guys or something. Yeah, we need one.

549
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:35.400
If you're free on Wednesdays, we
can use you talk sports. Hey,

550
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:37.840
thanks so much. Pat, appreciate
you. I appreciate it. Guys.

551
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.079
Thanks for having us and then keeping
local sports going. Best elected season.

552
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:44.239
Thanks Pat, we will, we
will, thank you for luck to have

553
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.199
a great year. Thank you.
Patt Nu one of the good guys,

554
00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:50.760
very good coaches, a guy who's
been here for so long. I've seen

555
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.559
it all right. When he said
thirty three thirty three had god dang,

556
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:57.719
I thought he was a young guy. Yeah, no, it seems like

557
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:00.440
but he's not because he was knocking
the Will you cover the team? Yeah,

558
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.760
I wanted to give a quick good
story from him on Pena, but

559
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.840
we rent an attack. Okay,
all right, let's take our break.

560

five former players, coaches, and
friends to give insight to the coach and

against them, and inspired them twenty five

pay for my digital asset? I
have you? I have you eleven in

626
00:39:52.480 --> 00:40:00.159
person. I don't even want that, and to is the word asset with

627
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:08.880
me at all? It's probably not
like delete a couple exactly exactly. I

628
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:12.920
don't know. Do you think this
is a dumb question? Jay? I'm

629
00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:15.440
not gonna ask you if you would
do it, because you probably wouldn't.

630
00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:17.679
I know I wouldn't. But are
we living in an age where I guess

631
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:22.679
it's just forever boosters just kind of
not so much want to be part of

632
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:25.000
it. But they have this I
don't even know how to ask you,

633
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:29.840
a fascination with athletes, like yeah, like I know what it's everywhere us

634
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:32.119
say, but there always has been
and Steve, you know when you think

635
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:37.639
about you know, the scandals and
stuff like that where people were people are

636
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:40.960
giving money and just handing money over
to athletes because they just wanted to be

637
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.000
a part of it. So that
wasp I came from Dallas in nineteen eighty

638
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:49.199
seven and happened in SMU about that
time, and that was just you know,

639
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.519
here's your money in the paper bag. That's what explain what we're talking

640
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:57.480
about. Okay, So uh earlier
today there was an announcement from the the

641
00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:05.360
NIL Collective Desert Take, which is
the it's the football specific uh NIL for

642
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:12.400
Arizona football. It falls under the
guess the auspices of the Friends of Wilburn

643
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.360
Wilma, but this is where the
nil money they collect those directed football players.

644
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:21.840
They've formed a partnership with something called
my nil Pay, which is a

645
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:27.480
digital platform basically an app where you
can go into the app all all you

646
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.719
have a football players are are registered
with this app. But you can just

647
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.840
send money to a player. Uh. It apparently meets all the NCAA requirements.

648
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:38.800
And that's where I see you get
some says upon receipt. So you

649
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:43.599
send money through the app, an
email goes to the student athlete, they

650
00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:46.599
accept the funds, that goes directed
to their linked bank account, and then

651
00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:52.960
the fan. It says upon receipt, the fan will receive a unique digital

652
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:59.079
asset featuring the athlete's name and digital
signature. To complete the transaction and compliance

653
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:04.559
with the la quid quid pro quoke
requirement. No additional action is needed for

654
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:07.199
the student athletes. So basically you
can just give money to an athlete.

655
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:13.519
You get some sort of a digital
something or other, and that satisfies the

656
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:16.440
nil rule that says they've got you
do something for them, they got to

657
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.360
do something for you. So it
sounds to me like it's just a way

658
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.880
to you know, pen money over
to an athlete. Sure, there's still

659
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:30.239
some players and I don't remember whom
are sitting out this first couple of games

660
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:35.960
because they took money three years ago, two three years Well before all this

661
00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:38.199
stuff, there's a there's an LSU
players. Maybe that's the one. There's

662
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:45.519
an LSU alignman who a month before
NIL became official, he took some money

663
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:50.880
for signing some autographs and this was
in the twenty twenty one before the twenty

664
00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:53.599
twenty one season, so it took
some time for it to go through all

665
00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:58.760
the stuff. Then they wanted to
suspend him for a game, but he

666
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:02.400
was out for the year for the
twenty twenty two season. So now that

667
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:07.199
suspension is happening in twenty twenty three, So he's gonna miss a game for

668
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:10.599
something that happened two years ago that
a month after he did it was legal.

669
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:16.920
People are pissed people, people that
I'm trying to again protest that that

670
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.159
speeding ticket I did a couple years
all kinds of stuff. So hey,

00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:42.960
know what I'm gonna get there,
I'm just like, wait, what I

709
00:45:43.079 --> 00:45:45.280
got to do this by myself?
What the heck? Yeah? It was

710
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:51.280
you remember who we add on web? I think it was web diving about

711
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.920
guy oh God, the baseball player. Ye oh my god. Right,

712
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:59.239
so I missed it. You almost
let me hanging, Steve, You almost

713
00:45:59.280 --> 00:46:01.440
left me hanging anyway. So yeah, but you'll give us a call.

714
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:05.320
Five two zero four one six seventy
four four and a lot of stuff going

715
00:46:05.360 --> 00:46:10.039
on. Just just saw a thing
came across, uh from Ben Boltsch,

716
00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:14.880
the writer at the l A Times, announcing that Bruno Fina will be the

717
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:24.360
starting starting offensive tackle or the starting
left tackle is Jula because Junior seems like

718
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:29.400
he's just been there. Well he
went out, he went out, I

719
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:31.239
don't know what. Yeah, maybe
because I think he went out when when

720
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:35.679
Beijean Robinson went out. But John
played. You know he was only there

721
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:37.840
for four years, right, three
years? Four years? Three years?

722
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:43.199
Yeah? Yeah, okay, Well
so that that'll be nice to have a

723
00:46:43.280 --> 00:46:46.559
John on it. Now that we
see that Bruno was actually been announced as

724
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:50.719
a starter at UCLA, good for
him, you know it. I mean,

725
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:52.519
look, remember John John Fina was, I mean, he's a good

726
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:55.199
tall guy and stuff like that.
But he was sort of an undersized guy,

727
00:46:55.920 --> 00:47:00.719
you know when he got to Arizona
and what he made himself into pretty

728
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:04.559
well, he's a smart dude,
and he was not on the he was

729
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:08.719
a defensive the guy right then turned
him into an offensive guy and voila a

730
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:13.559
lot a long time in the NFL. Yep, yep. I'm looking at

731
00:47:13.599 --> 00:47:16.639
Bruno right now, is hee?
Uh what his eligibility is? He's a

732
00:47:16.760 --> 00:47:21.159
red shirt junior. Yeah that makes
sense. Yeah, yeah, that makes

733
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:24.119
sense. He's got he looks just
like John except the light. He's got

734
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:27.480
the light here here. Yeah,
and he speaks exactly well, you know,

735
00:47:27.719 --> 00:47:31.159
we're all products of our our part
anything like my dad, you sound

736
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:36.039
like your brothers, so they get
it from somewhere. Yeah, they got

737
00:47:36.119 --> 00:47:37.400
it from your dad. Okay,
they had to get it because you sound

738
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:42.280
like Rick and Jane, kind of
a combination, more more crazy than them.

739
00:47:42.880 --> 00:47:45.599
More How can I say this,
because because you're the brother d dad,

740
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:50.159
he's very mellow, so you have
different personalities, but you're more to

741
00:47:50.320 --> 00:47:52.000
the shade of Rick and Gene.
I don't know how to take that.

742
00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.239
You have you have no choice,
you have to Yeah, no, choice.

743
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.039
You can't be kind of pregnant.
You're you're pregnant. That's what I'm

744
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:06.159
not. Kind of their brother.
I had their brother exactly because I'm sure

745
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:08.519
you spent more time with them.
Yeah, and that's where you that's how

746
00:48:08.599 --> 00:48:13.119
you develop, I guess. I
guess. Yeah, like me, I'm

747
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:15.639
I'm a probably with my father and
speak exactly. My father's too fast,

748
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:21.440
mumble all that stuff. My kids
probably do the same, Yeah, exactly.

749
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:23.280
Yeah, all right, bad was
good news for Bruno Phenis. So

750
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:25.679
it'll be it'll be fun to get
John on and say, hey, dude,

751
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.199
your son is starting. Yeah,
I'm sure he knew that already,

752
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:31.960
sounds a lot like him, bigger. We'll talk about all that. Yeah,

753
00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:36.039
yeah, okay, it'd be fun. So we got draft Kings out

754
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:37.559
of the way. Good. We'll
be hearing more from us with that a

755
00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:42.480
lot, right right right, Well, you we and we encourage you.

756
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.639
You know, we use draft kings. I think I haven't been on the

757
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:50.119
other apps, but I can't imagine
there's one that's been that's easier than than

758
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:53.000
draft Kings. It's been easy,
it's fun. You never had an issue

759
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:57.000
with them. You know, you're
you're never in a situation where they you

760
00:48:57.039 --> 00:48:59.400
know, they can't take bets or
you don't get your payout or whatever.

761
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:01.679
Ill though, I had a bet
the other day that I couldn't understand why

762
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:06.320
why it hadn't paid off because the
team that I had bet on it won

763
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:07.960
And then I found out that I
had bet on the game for the next

764
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:12.719
day, not that day, and
uh and ended up winning the one the

765
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.199
next day anyway, so it was
okay. But I don't know, It's

766
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:19.920
just it works, and we have
a lot of fun with it, play

767
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:22.800
around with it, and it's pretty
cool. So we encourage you guys to

768
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:28.239
use it, and if you do
use put the code in fourteen fifty yeah

769
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:31.880
right right right descripted. So I
saw a tweet from Brian Peterson. We

770
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:36.039
did not go to the press conference
today. They had Nansen and they had

771
00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:40.280
Carol asked to reflect on the laws
against Andy you Britain. Carroll's initial response

772
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:45.920
was nope, and then he said
we went on to say it was a

773
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.280
good indication of how far Arizona still
had to go. Yeah, well,

774
00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:52.400
and that that and that's the thing. You know, you talk about that

775
00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:55.599
game again. We talked about that
night and you know the way I felt

776
00:49:55.639 --> 00:50:00.639
walking out of the stadium that day, and again I was angry that they

777
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:04.639
had lost to them. But then
I kind of realized that I was angry

778
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.639
at the wrong people, right,
I was angry at Jed. I was

779
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.320
angry at the guys on the field. And then I realized that the one

780
00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:14.159
they need, the ones they need
to be angry at, were Kevin Sumlin

781
00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:16.320
what he had done to the program
and the depths that he had taken it

782
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:22.360
too. And you know, because
after last year, you realized that Jed

783
00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:25.320
can do this job. You know, how good can he do it?

784
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:30.440
I still don't think we know,
but he certainly is not. Uh well,

785
00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:35.079
it's not a horrible coach because of
that lost. Let me give you

786
00:50:35.159 --> 00:50:37.079
this and I'm gonna put you on
the spot. Okay, so you you

787
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:44.079
you kind of pooh poohdon, right, Colorado. Let's say that Arizona,

788
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:49.239
Haddon and Colorado had Jed. How
would you feel? I think we got

789
00:50:49.400 --> 00:50:52.320
we I would think we had the
better end of the deal because we got

790
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:57.000
Don and all the everything, the
attention and everything that he brings to the

791
00:50:57.079 --> 00:51:01.199
program. But you would think if
I'm wanted jet Fish over there taking Colorado

792
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:05.440
and doing all these things and Deon
can't win any games over here, then

793
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.719
I'm going, what the hell happened? Though? But but my point is,

794
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:09.400
you say, a new coach,
a guy you don't really know who

795
00:51:09.639 --> 00:51:14.039
he is, and then starting to
program with jet Fish, who's that?

796
00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.639
Ye? Who's that? And and
how's he doing this at Colorado? But

797
00:51:17.159 --> 00:51:21.239
here he is here? Yeah,
so it's it's you. You're it's closer

798
00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:23.199
to home now. I'm Olympic this
right, And I don't know if you

799
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:29.000
asked, but I'm happy right now. Yea that Arizona's got jet Fish and

800
00:51:29.039 --> 00:51:30.400
they've got Dion. No, no, no, no, because we know

801
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:35.519
how far jet Fish is already.
This is not a right right, a

802
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:38.280
wrong guy. It was more of
me asking you because you poo poo uh

803
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.400
Dion because you don't think he can. I don't know what you you think.

804
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:49.280
I feel. What I know about
Dion is that I don't see that

805
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:52.920
thing. I don't feel like that's
gonna hold his interest. Okay, okay,

806
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:57.639
okay. Deon's got bigger things to
think that he does think. But

807
00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:00.639
but he's got to succeed here to
get those bigger injus he does but I

808
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:06.159
I you know, I could see
if it doesn't go well right away,

809
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:08.800
then he'll get bored with it and
he'll just see. I don't I don't

810
00:52:08.840 --> 00:52:12.079
see that happening with him. He's
one of those dudes. If it doesn't

811
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:14.800
go well, he'll buy a team
and make it go well. You know

812
00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.159
what I'm saying that he's one of
those dudes. Maybe he will, Maybe

813
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:21.639
he will, you know where he
Yeah, he's got a competitive nature that

814
00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:24.480
we don't exactly exactly. I understand
it, understand Okay, all right,

815
00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:28.360
let's take our break. When come
back, we'll have breaking news from Noah,

816
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:30.880
who's sitting here piling it up for
right after the breaks, we'll stick around
