WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.519 Steve Rivera and Jacoon Sommings. They have their High on the Ball on two 2 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:13.160 Songs sports station, Fox Sports fourteen fifty. They welcome back to its probably 3 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.960 I'm about here on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve Rivera. You're Jacon's 4 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:21.320 Ols. Got a guy Jason now with breaking news. I on the Ball, 5 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:27.920 breaking news. Okay, so some nil news. The Desert Take Football 6 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.600 Collective has arrived in two Songs to provide opportunities for the Arizona football student athletes. 7 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.600 Well, that was something that Ray Wells talked about. Ray Wells, 8 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.600 who's the executive director of this collective but also the executive director of Friends of 9 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.119 Wilburn and Wilma, which he said this collective was going to be formed to 10 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.799 specifically focus on football. So we kind of heard this was coming in. 11 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.759 Now it's here, right, which of course they probably needed to do it. 12 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.759 AU basketball has its own Basketball has one, right, Yeah, and 13 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.079 it's gonna be getting crazier more and more as we move along. Yeah, 14 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.359 and we're you know, we're continuing to see that. You know, there 15 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.359 may be some federal legislation coming related to all of this. UM which is 16 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.040 that thing that UM Greg Sanky, the SEC commissioner who was sort of the 17 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.640 top commissioner of the NC double A, was saying that the as much as 18 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.359 you hate to do this, that you know you need Congress to do something 19 00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.799 because it's so scattered around with all the different states. Did you see so 20 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.280 the penalties that came down on Tennessee right didn't involve a bull band? Okay, 21 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.879 Well, I hadn't seen this until after the fact, but the Tennessee 22 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.640 Attorney General had threatened to sue the NC double A if there was a bull 23 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.280 band because they were saying that an NC double A bull band would have violated 24 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:57.920 Tennessee. Tennessee's NIL legislation that said that the ncuble A can do cannot do 25 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:04.760 anything that in hibits a players opportunity to make nail money. And they were 26 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.599 threatening DANC double A. Soy, we're coming after you if you get if 27 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.400 you give them a bull band, because they're saying by giving them a bull 28 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.400 band that that means that they can't make an amil money related to the bull 29 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:17.759 That's what's wrong with what's going on right now. Sure, and I'm sure 30 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.680 he's a pretty big Tennessee fan, right exactly, And nobody's saying that that's 31 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.960 why d NC double A didn't give him a bull band, but that that 32 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:32.840 was out before the before the penalties came down crazy some national news. The 33 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.360 NFL owners unanimously approved the Washington Commander's sale of six billion dollars to the group 34 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:44.919 led by Josh Harris, Magic Johnson and some other partners, as well as 35 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.960 the Boys, part owner of the Dodgers. Yeah, yeah, interesting, 36 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.919 Well that ends a huge saga, right, an unfortunate saga, a non 37 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.199 winning saga. He kind of came in, he was like, what's his 38 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:02.120 name? First name again? Hurricane Dan came in and blew up to place 39 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.879 and just left. He was I mean, he was just a mess. 40 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:12.039 And so on the heels of that UM, the NFL released a statement that 41 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:21.680 Dan Snyder and owes them sixty sixty million dollars because of because they they an 42 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.039 investigation into him revealed that he had been hiding money that was supposed to have 43 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:31.159 been shared with UM, with h the other owners, he other owners in 44 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:36.080 the team of his team, of his team, but that he was supposed 45 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.840 to share with the NFL. Revenue was supposed to shared with the NFL, 46 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.879 and so he uh and so he was doing that. Wow, so they 47 00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.879 said, the investigation said that they how did how did they put it? 48 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.520 They have? Um, oh god, I had this, I had this 49 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.439 in here. Oh here it is here. Let me read. This is 50 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.879 the conclusion of the report from the NFL. After extensive investigation, we have 51 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:05.080 sustained that's the keywords that she used. Sustained both Tiffany Johnson's allegation of sexual 52 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:13.360 harassment by mister Snyder and Jason Friedman's allegation of deliberate under reporting of NFL revenues 53 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:19.279 by the club to avoid its VTS sharing obligations. We found that the evidence 54 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:25.519 was insufficient to demonstrate mister Snyder's involvement in the calendar photo incident or in the 55 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:31.199 security deposit issues. Allegedly they kept security deposits deposits from season ticket holders. 56 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.040 That was my comment and was inconclusive. Inconclusive as to his personal participation in 57 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:40.879 the club's improper shielding of revenues. In the course of the investigation, we 58 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.920 also identified a variety of transactions and accounting entries left unexplained by the club, 59 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.319 which raised a number of issues as to whether a significant portion of the revenues 60 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:57.560 recorded were NFL related revenues properly shielded from VTS sharing, so basically he was 61 00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.480 stealing money too. He was sexually her asking people, and it was just 62 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.360 a complete mess. They had to get him the hell out of it. 63 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.800 Was it is it? Jabber Morales is a huge Redskins fan. Yeah, 64 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.079 I'm guessing he's happy. Yeah, But it's kind of it's kind of that 65 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.959 thing of it's a relief, we got it. It's like when Arizona fire 66 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:23.120 John mcavic and when Fat Kevin somewhat it's just like a relief that this is 67 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.079 this crap. Let's move on from move on from out of here fans and 68 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.519 everybody can move on and then and let mean real real quick. So then 69 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.040 um the Red, the new Redskins owner, issued a statement today, My 70 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.879 partners and I were entrusted by the NFL with the stewardship of a great franchise. 71 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.439 As a lifelong Washington football fan who grew up here, I know that 72 00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.439 the Commanders are more than just a sports team. That's an institution passed down 73 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.199 from generation generation and it goes on. So basically you feel like it's in 74 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.199 the hands of somebody who's really gonna care about it, right, Good for 75 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.959 the good for the Commanders. I'll cheer for them again. Yeah. So 76 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.000 are they going to begin like a name logo kind rebrand, They're gonna redo. 77 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.839 I think they're gonna change the name again. It sounds like I heard 78 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.680 that a while back that they may be changing the name again. I'll just 79 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.199 did another, dude again. Yeah. Um, So the NBA In the 80 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.240 Season Tournament is going to be happening on November November third. All thirty teams 81 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.040 will be participating in it to win the NBA Cup, and eight teams will 82 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.800 be advancing into the knockout rounds. So yeah, go ahead, every team 83 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.759 is gonna play. Every team will be playing a single elimination. Yes, 84 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.959 um, eight teams advanced if they knockout rounds. The tournament semis and championship 85 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.120 game we'll be heading Las Vegas will be held in Las Vegas on course. 86 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:39.519 Yeah, of course on December seventh and eight. So, um, dude, 87 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.800 they stop the regular season and play this tournament. Yeah, yeah they 88 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.240 will. Yeah? And how long is it for two weeks? How long? 89 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:46.480 I think it's two weeks long? Yeah, and you know you get 90 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.360 a trophy, you get you know, money, incentives as well. So, 91 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.199 and all thirty teams playing and they have it broken up into different groups 92 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.240 and then they just you know play, so they're like a round robin and 93 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.920 then a bracket. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I'm sure you know, 94 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.519 the older guys in the league probably won't participate just because I mean, 95 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.759 I mean, wear I'm out. Yeah, wear I'm out because he definitely 96 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:12.040 you know, playing playoffs all that afterwards. So this is another money grab, 97 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.759 does yeah my money and TV grab yet? Yeah? Pretty much? 98 00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.279 So okay you care about it? Um, I mean I might watch it, 99 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:19.839 you know, if I have nothing better going on. I mean, 100 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.600 do you care who wins it? Oh? No, I don't like and 101 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.600 does why didn't mean anything? I'm not really It's like the All Star Game, 102 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.759 you know, doesn't mean And here's your issue. If somebody gets hurt 103 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.319 in that tournament, right, we're gonna say when the hell are we playing? 104 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.199 They were gonna They'll say, well, we were gonna be playing games 105 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.319 anyway. So yeah, yeah, but not part of the regular season. 106 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.160 This is extra. Yeah, this has nothing to do with the contracts. 107 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.240 Are gonna say, well, I'm gonna play in this tournament, give me 108 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.000 something any more money. Yeah, because I'm sure they had to negotiate that, 109 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.600 Steve. I mean, I think would have had to negotiate that just 110 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.560 to be able to play the tournament. And if they were negotiating that, 111 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.240 I'm sure there was some money and the players. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 112 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.000 you don't just say you don't just do that, right, Yeah. 113 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:01.600 I think you know, they were like more, you know, incentives for 114 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.800 participating in this versus you know, just playing the regular you know. So 115 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.759 yeah, but that's why the break News offered today. Okay, UM, 116 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.920 a few other things. Let's see what I'll say. Um, what what 117 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.160 I have here? Uh? No, I had got him. Oh. 118 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.000 We talked briefly about the Dan Patrick retirement yesterday, right, So it turns 119 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.879 out he he wasn't really trying to announce his retirement. What he was talking 120 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:33.159 about was that he's got a contract extension for for Fox Sports, for iHeart, 121 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.879 which which we're on. He you know, his his show is on 122 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.799 this station in the morning and for Peacock, and that the contract runs for 123 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.399 another four years. And that's so he basically said, I'm done after that 124 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.960 four years is over. So, so it's at the end of December of 125 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.639 twenty twenty seven, so he had to clarify that day. Paramoun So he'll 126 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.519 be sixty nine, said, right, I think he's sixty seven. Now 127 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.279 at some point you're gonna say goodbye, run up into the sunset. If 128 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.840 you're not calling your shot, someone's gonna calling for you. He's sixty seven. 129 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.679 He just turned sick. Did he turned sixty seven two months ago, 130 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.840 So he'll be seventy one, be seventy one when he calls it. Okay, 131 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.320 you see he's he's kept well you know, yeah, he was a 132 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.440 college athlete. He was called well, I didn't know. I didn't know 133 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.279 at a Eastern Kentucky. Yeah, I don't know that. Yeah, he's 134 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.759 sixty said, well, you know, sixty sevens and you forty seven. 135 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.480 I feel about thirty. I feel thirty ninety, said I want to get 136 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.440 out a bit and walk around, and i'm you know, and I'm like, 137 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.120 you know, I'm forty three. Yeah, it was like it was 138 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.759 diver. I was gonna bring something help, I'll I'll bring it up. 139 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.440 I can't Okay, No, no, I can't because it's you don't explain 140 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.600 why in the break, Okay, um, we'll see what happens. So 141 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.919 anything else. No, No, that's all all right. Um, I 142 00:09:50.960 --> 00:10:00.440 mean, you know, look, there's I did see that the Colorado chancellor 143 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:09.000 said that the that the presidents were supposed to be presented with a TV deal 144 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.840 today. Oh good, you see what having a Stanford all of their president. 145 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.000 Yeah, so that's another Stanford president. That's no president's done. And 146 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:22.039 that that the Stanfford president is on the executive committee. So that's he's gone 147 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:28.080 now. So now that's one that's voice for now. But that um that 148 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.279 there was supposed to be something that something was supposed to be given to the 149 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.720 presidents today. Didn't say that there's gonna be an announcement, just said more 150 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.279 information that that that they were going to have have a sense of it sometime 151 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.720 today. I can't imagine that if they get if that gets out to the 152 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.080 presidents, that's not going to get out somewhere. Well, I think one 153 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.360 more thing you have you talk to me about the PAC twelve recruiting thing. 154 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.919 Well, that was a college basketball report that does stuff similar to a big 155 00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:01.080 game Boomer does, uh, regarding of of uh sports of stuff. They 156 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:07.200 listed the top five best recruiting college hoops programs in each conference in East Power 157 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.159 Conference, so they include the Big East as a power conference. In basketball, 158 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.320 they listed Arizona number one in the PAC twelve, ahead of UCLA, 159 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.000 USC Oregon in Washington. They've got Duke, North Carolina, Louisville, Florida 160 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:28.399 State in Virginia in the ACC. In the Big East, they've got Villanova, 161 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.159 Yukon, Georgetown, Xavier, and then Marquette in the Big East. 162 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:39.120 And then obviously Kansas number one in the Big Twelve, Indiana number one in 163 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.679 the Big Ten, and Kentucky number one in the SEC. That shouldn't surprise 164 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:48.000 anybody, but you just saying that these are the top recruiting programs. So 165 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.679 and I think, you know, I think probably Arizona still gets a little 166 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.679 bit of a little bit of nudge from all the five stars that Sean Miller 167 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.440 got, you know, for all those years. Because I know that Tommy's 168 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.440 getting a lot of top players, but he's not getting like three five stars 169 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.039 every year plus with the with the I don't think and I don't think that 170 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.279 matters anymore. Look at look at what did to the program. Well yeah, 171 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.759 yeah, hey, you can't have all these good dudes then to jump 172 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.200 and then what happens? Yeah, I mean you know, don't you kind 173 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.399 of like the fact that he you know, Hanry Bass all right, yeah, 174 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.440 really good player. He's gonna take some time to develop, seasoning and 175 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.080 he'll develop. You know, Zulus was here three years. I think Crevis 176 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.200 is gonna be the same way. Yeah, has emerged. Yeah, and 177 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.480 you know, I'm really happy to have umar Balo coming in this year. 178 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.320 Then some five star guy who's was in high school last year. Oh yeah, 179 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.159 playing that position for much right, right, we'll see awesothing That was 180 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:56.720 actually um the Vikings first round pick Jordan Addison the side of this morning forest 181 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:01.279 beating and reckless driving from Georgia. Yeah, no, no, he's wrong, 182 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.600 said did he go to Georgia? He was apparently driving one hundred and 183 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.799 forty miles per hour freeway, which when I read that, I was like, 184 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.519 it's not right, But I mean what free Where was this side? 185 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.200 Isn't in Minnesota? Yeah, We're in the world. Can you drive in 186 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.679 Minnesota that fast? Why would you? I don't know whether this, Why 187 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.639 would you Why would you go over hundred? Why would you do? Yeah? 188 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.399 I go seventy six? Man. They would talk about this. So 189 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.679 the big poppy on on the damn Patrick show, because he's got like I 190 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.200 think he's got like a couple of Lamborghinis. So, damn Patrickan, what's 191 00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:39.480 the fastest you've ever driven? There? He said? He said, of 192 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.960 two hundred miles an hour? Why it was? It's where did you drive 193 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.039 a two hundred miles an hour? He said, the Dominican Republic. He 194 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.200 said, there's roads that you can do that in the Dominican Republic. He 195 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.480 said, I had to. I had to do that to see how fast 196 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.600 I could go. And then he said, are you gonna do it again? 197 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.399 He said no, Yeah, it'd be like one of those speedboats and 198 00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.759 then flips over like that.

I 270 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.119 must think that you are very excited about tomorrow. Yeah. I think it's 271 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.000 you know, as I sit here in my early forties, I'm like, 272 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:42.960 God, these years have flown by, you know. I know you guys 273 00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:45.400 probably think the same thing. And here we are, new days again. 274 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:51.039 It's another season and it is. It is absolutely flying right now. So 275 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.599 it's good to be here. It's gonna walk around the hotel, see the 276 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.119 coaches and players, all the good stuff. So I can't wait to uh, 277 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.160 I can't wait to talk to them, can't wait the shirts, our 278 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.799 stories, can't wait to keep the ball moving. Here to be the historical 279 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.680 league this year in terms of talents, So I'm really excited about it. 280 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.440 Well, well, so much of the conversation unfortunately since season the season ended, 281 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:14.359 has been you know, the TV deal and the expansion, all that 282 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.160 stuff. We finally get to talk about the football. And you know the 283 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.519 other part of the conversation has been that the PAC clubs, it looks like 284 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.480 their head they've got a year where they've got they could have some great teams, 285 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.200 a whole bunch of great quarterbacks. Well, you know what's the main 286 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:32.160 storyline on the field this year. I think it's the quarterbacks. And honestly, 287 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.519 like I don't even think we've been think that hard. You know, 288 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.759 it's like the number that will get thrown out around a ton tomorrow by everybody 289 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.000 who talks. I think is that, you know, eight quarterbacks last years 290 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.759 through for three thousand yards. That only happened once in the history of college 291 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.920 football ever before, and it was in this league in twenty fourteen. And 292 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.759 this year six of those eight per terms. You add in the best transfer 293 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.200 classes in the country, some of the best high school quarterbacks in the country. 294 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.240 So we're talking about Dante Moore, Malachi Nelson, were talking about transfers 295 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.160 in DJ Louis on the LA and of course Shodor Sanders drew time possibly as 296 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:08.480 a starter at Arizona State, Like, you can't not look at this league 297 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.000 and be like, yep, they got the best quarterbacks in the country. 298 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.680 Last year, I was arguing it, and I get proved to be true 299 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.759 by the end of the year. This year from jump, you know, 300 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.000 get kind in prediction that it's Caleb and it's Panics and it's bow All five 301 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:25.039 go on outs are better. This is a league, you know, it 302 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.960 just is. And I think that always dies the conversation. And I would 303 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.519 say that's what wins. Look at the teams that have won the national title 304 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.839 over the last handful of years, the sure you have an eleague quarterback and 305 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.880 I think that's what our league has and that's why I think it's a year 306 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.839 or a league that is a chance of a special year. Would you think 307 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:45.559 that the national media has finally kind of paid attention and it's ob you see 308 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.759 the quarterbacks, but they're finally kind of looking this way to see that there 309 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.440 might be some pretty good football this year. Yeah, I think so. 310 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:55.200 I mean, I've been doing shows on all the parts of the country. 311 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.079 They went on the South this morning, and they're rare, you know, 312 00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:02.319 that's the best part. And they're away of Arizona and the passing game with 313 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:07.480 jug Fish. They're aware of Oregon and Washington SC. Of course in Utah's 314 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.000 two time defending champion, they're a where of Oregon State and being a sleeper 315 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.519 team. They know of Chip Kelly and what he's done. So I think 316 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.559 that the storylines that these coaches, these head coaches have brought to the table 317 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:25.599 with the players that they have have really cut through. And in my twenty 318 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.599 some years now around this league, it's never been like that in terms of 319 00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:32.920 every team having a story that can cut through. Right, it could be 320 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.000 Troy Taylor and what he's done offensively, that story at Stanford because it's so 321 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:41.279 different than everybody that cuts through. I can go up and down every team 322 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.359 in this league, even Cow if the addition of Sam Jackson, the fourth 323 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:48.720 from TCU got cuts through because of Jake spaviol Is, BOC and some of 324 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.039 the staff chains Justin Wilcox made. So it's it's really cool because they'll be 325 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.759 a ton of eyes and that needs to be a lot of eyes because a 326 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.400 that's warranted and it's great for the league. So you know, you know, 327 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.880 the the PAC twelve has the as the returning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, 328 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:08.359 But I'm not so sure that he is hands down necessarily the best quarterback 329 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.480 in the Pac twelve coming into this year. I'm leading Michael Michael Pennocks, 330 00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:15.759 but I mean, you have to say he is, but it's not a 331 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.680 sure thing. Yeah. I think that speaks to like, you know, 332 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.279 I always say this rout of the draft right the top two picks, whether 333 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:26.319 it was carsonal Went and Jared Goff from cal or whether it was last year 334 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:32.079 in Price young CD strout, you're hitting that position against each other, and 335 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.119 I think it's okay to like have a lot of really good ones, you 336 00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:37.160 know, And that's what this league has. And I see it at the 337 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.119 high school level all the time. Who's the best quarterback in America? Who's 338 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:41.920 a five star, who's the best guy And the end of the day, 339 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.599 there's so many things that allow that player, that person to thrive, and 340 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.519 it's okay if a couple of them do. I think Michael Pennocks, to 341 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:53.200 your point, is a bona fide perennial All American. He proved that when 342 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.400 I'm going Passion in the Nation last year, Caleb Williams it is the best 343 00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:02.200 quarterback I've seen in my career play what he does as a second reaction passed, 344 00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.960 or how strong it's dirty he is, how accurate is he's competitive temperament, 345 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.680 He's really special. Box I said the same thing, like he's a 346 00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:14.000 very unique player, and he's a guy that none of us would be surprised 347 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.240 if he's in New York City for the Heisman. And we kind of go 348 00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:18.400 down the list a little bit, right, and then you start talking about 349 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.200 Cameron Ward and James de Laura and there's there's players in this league which just 350 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:26.480 played at high level. How came Ryan? He wants two straight titles either 351 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:29.160 winner right, Kyle winning has been their nineteen years. And then he calls 352 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.400 him like the alpha's alpha, but he he might be the best leader in 353 00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:34.720 the league. And I think leader gets thrown around very easily all the time. 354 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.160 It's Kim is the definition of a guy who can walk in the room 355 00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:41.880 and make people feel his presence will make them better. So it's it's a 356 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.680 fun debate, and I think for us as a league, you look at 357 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.920 him say, oh, it's just loaded there and that is going to make 358 00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.799 every game so fun. On the fourth quarters. All these guys want the 359 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.160 ball league. Well, let's come push the home and Tucson. What do 360 00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.839 you feel about Jet in his third year? You know, I'm excited about 361 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.880 this team. You know, they've they've done a lot of Look at where 362 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.400 he took this thing over and kind of what's happened. You know, they 363 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.359 were the I think the seventieth offense in America to six right. You look 364 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.079 at the players he's brought in in terms of tens Rowan mcgillan, you know, 365 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.559 recruit from that program's history. And then this year doing the same thing 366 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.920 on the defensive side, obviously addressing the needs and the portal with Justin Floe 367 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:27.880 and company. On the defensive side, they were just okay last year. 368 00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:32.319 They win more game and they go bowling. So I'm like, I was 369 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.839 the first guy talking about him when he got hired with you guys, and 370 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.079 I've always been bullsh you Luncheon, and I've always backed him up. I 371 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.759 think that he's proven that he got a plan, that it's a detail that 372 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.839 he's gonna recruited high school and he's gonna add when needed, be the transfer 373 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.440 portal. And you guys want to be there. You don't see a lot 374 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.319 of players transferring out. I get the Dorian Singer left to go to usc 375 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.599 UH. You know, coaches leaving necessarily they wanted to be there fundamentally. 376 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.960 I just think it's a really healthy organization and I'm a big fan of He's 377 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.000 gonna come under some scrutiny tomorrow. He knows that, they know that. 378 00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.559 I would Jane Delora being here and everything that went on in the offseason, 379 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.759 But I don't think we can lose sight of what he's done with. You 380 00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:14.720 know, his team and the roster that he had and the team that he 381 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:17.440 took over. And it's the team in year one with him. Do you 382 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:21.319 guys know this? But it was eight games over within a score and heading 383 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:25.160 into the fourth quarter. They didn't win those games other than one. Last 384 00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:26.839 year there was five of those games they went three and two. I accept 385 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.160 that thing to keep growing, and I really look at their schedule. I 386 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.720 think it's a good team that can be four. Oh, they've got a 387 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:34.960 comfort play. You know. Thinking about the quarterbacks again, when you have 388 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:37.599 all these great quarterbacks in the league, and you guys, Arizona's a guy 389 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.519 like has a guy like Jane Deloran They're picked to finish eighth in the league. 390 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.880 So with all these teams having these quarterbacks, who, you know, 391 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.160 what is the next thing that some a team is going to need to have? 392 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.480 You do you think to come out of this? You know who who's 393 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:57.759 the champ and what does the champ look like? Yeah? I had a 394 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:00.680 theory heading into the season this year that I think the run games are really 395 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:04.119 going to come back, you know, I really do. And you look 396 00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:08.400 at all these teams that were raided in the preseason polled that you just referenced, 397 00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.799 and Rally's always loved to run the football, you know, as creative 398 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:17.480 as a run game as I've seen in terms of different pollers. Offensive lineman 399 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:22.640 movie making really creative and forcing defenses hasn't said you look at you Dub, 400 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:23.640 They're going to run the football, apaling the boy. It's gonna be a 401 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.960 physical out you have to be, especially in the weather you talk. That's 402 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:32.480 how they've been defined as a physical unit. Oregon they're extremely that right bonus 403 00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.359 carry the ball Ton last year or stayed I'd say in the best run game 404 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.759 in the league. You see like a shift they want to run it, 405 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.359 Like I think that's going to be the thing and then which defense can slow 406 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:45.400 people down. I'm talking about a possession of two a game. And that's 407 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:51.000 why it's interesting to see USC being picked with the dramatic amount of votes, 408 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.519 because I think people are just assuming that that defensive facebook from a personnel standpoint, 409 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.519 he's going to transfer the field. And I can't wait to find out. 410 00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:00.880 I'm called their first two games. I hope it does. I'm always 411 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.680 rooting for the players to play their best, but that's gonna have to be 412 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.079 the thing. I think you don't defense gets no of you know, statistically, 413 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:08.279 they were one of the better defensive last year, and I think people 414 00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.599 think that they were terrible on defense because of back to back losses against UCLA 415 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.839 and A. As you they were dramatically injured in those games. They added 416 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:21.160 a couple of players being the transfer portal. So I'm looking forward I think 417 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.000 the team when they're hosting the trophy here in December in Vegas. Yes, 418 00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:26.799 they'll have a quarterback that might be in New York shape for the Eisman, 419 00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.680 but I guarantee they'll ever ran the football and have been able to eliminate a 420 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.519 possession or too because of their physicality on defense. I think who better to 421 00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:37.200 ask than a former player who played the game? You know, who are 422 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:45.039 two fat old dudes here talking Dolora. How much of the weight of the 423 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.400 of the guy and the pressures that he's coming into the season will take its 424 00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.400 toll? Or or will it? Or do players just play? We weren't 425 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.079 asking that tomorrow, you know, I know Jedfish. Of course he's gonna 426 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.440 address the media. Jane Blower's gonna have to address the media, addressed what 427 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.079 went on in the off seasons around the civil case that everybody's been talking about. 428 00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.519 I'm sure in your hometown, and I think that's fair to talk about 429 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:12.240 it. We got to bring it up. Those types of conversations are real 430 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:17.240 and they're wrong. I know Jedd for fifteen years, like he takes this 431 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.400 extremely seriously. And I think for them, they're bringing Jade the Lord to 432 00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:25.680 med Day so they can address it and then I think they'll play. And 433 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:27.200 I think for the players on the team, I'm sure when the news came 434 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.279 out, like all of us, there were shocked, like what is going 435 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.880 on? And there's confusion, And I'm sure that among that facility and in 436 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:41.519 that episode has been clarity around the illegal case of Jade the Lord as a 437 00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.880 minor, and how they can move forward and how they will look forward. 438 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.440 And I know Jed again he dust me out it like if he felt that 439 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:53.400 there was something going on that was dramatically inappropriate for him and his team. 440 00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:56.359 I don't think jay Nor would be there. I just believe that in my 441 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:00.440 heart. And I would imagine that when we have Jane DeVore, Hey, 442 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:06.839 how has this affected your team? He might say it's brought us closer. 443 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.680 They got to know me on a deep level about me as a high school 444 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.960 person, as a high school young man. I got to know them on 445 00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:15.359 a deep level. I'd imagine because it does one of them the two things 446 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:22.000 right, either fractures it order brings it together. I'd imagine the ladder because 447 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:23.680 he's here at media day. Yeah, I don't think jay would bring him 448 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:32.039 if it was a negative reverberation from the locker room within the team. Okay, 449 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.440 Yogi, well thank you for your for your help. I was good 450 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:37.279 talking to you. Enjoy tomorrow even even though coach Prime will not be there. 451 00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.519 But wish him the best, you know, like clearly health comes first. 452 00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.799 But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really excited to the interview 453 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:51.680 for the first time. But that's okay, we'll get our time. He's 454 00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:56.079 not going anywhere. He'll be around for a long time. You have fun 455 00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.680 tomorrow, guys. Okay, Yeah, I think I think you can tell 456 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.640 him his voice that he's excited. Yeah, I think everybody there will be 457 00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:08.640 excited. Excited, um sort of short of jet fish or what's that's discussing 458 00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:11.279 and put aside. Well, there's gotta be some anst about it, right, 459 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.000 Yeah, forget to drop. There's got to be some angst about you 460 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.559 know what, what do we say? What are they gonna ask? Yeah? 461 00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:25.440 Sure, and hope hopefully the approach was okay, let's address it so 462 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.680 that we can get past right, right. And I think if you do 463 00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:33.440 it that way, you address it enough so that people will stop asking questions 464 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.960 about it, then you move on. So I think that that's a actually 465 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:42.079 a thing that they need to try and do. They try to They've got 466 00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:48.759 to get to a point where they're um, where they're uh sort of say 467 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:55.599 enough, right, say enough so that it satisfies the satisfies everybody. They 468 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:59.720 can stop asking questions and as they said, move on, you know, 469 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.519 you know, my my point to to to to uh Yogi. You know, 470 00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.960 everyone's got a quarterback like Jaane Delora, who one of the top quarterbacks 471 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.200 in the league. Right, yeah, they're fig pick to finish eight. 472 00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.519 I'll tell you how good is this league? You know? I know, 473 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:17.160 I know Yogi had to go. I would have liked to have, you 474 00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:20.359 know, ask him. Well, we'll ask it down the road, and 475 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.440 we'll ask it of some other people down the road. You know, I 476 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:29.519 know they say that there's some college football playoff worthy teams in the league that 477 00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:35.880 you can argue the USC in Washington definitely, depending on how good Cam Rising 478 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:42.559 comes back. Maybe Oregon is you know good Oregan's Oregon. But there's so 479 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:47.039 many How does the team get through unscathed to get to the college football That's 480 00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:51.519 been the problem forever. You have to be very very very good. I 481 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:54.000 mean you're gonna have to be you know, Matt Leiner, Reggie Bush good 482 00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:58.319 right, right right to do that. And I don't know that anybody is 483 00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:01.079 who knows. We'll see, because you see has that probability you're you're voting 484 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:07.519 or you're you're talking Washington, right, we'll see it's gonna they're gonna cannibalize 485 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.640 each other, thankfully thinking that they're gonna do it. Maybe they don't. 486 00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:14.480 I mean, this would be the perfect year here for the for the twelve 487 00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:17.359 team playoff to start, right if the team flaff starts this year, pac 488 00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:22.200 twalve gets two teams you think you think you think you know because you get 489 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.960 an automatic bed and then and then may you know maybe but Jay, the 490 00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:28.880 four teams, Man, Jay, the games need to be play.

Hey, welcome back to the fourteen Cookie on Steve 555 00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:01.079 Rivera, Ja ginzas about fifteen minutes. If you guys want to call in, 556 00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:12.039 please do give it your capital impression of dude. He doesn't Yeah, 557 00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:15.400 he really is. Um. You know, I thought, I thought what 558 00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:19.639 Yogi said about Jane Delora was really interesting. Um. And I think, 559 00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:23.559 you know the expectation is that if they're bringing him he's got to talk right 560 00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:30.400 right when when when we uh, we last saw when we last you and 561 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.280 I saw him, they were preparing for spring right practice. Remember we were 562 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:38.400 in there. I remember they're in that little room. And then we talked 563 00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:42.639 to him. He had gained some weight, he was prepared. He came 564 00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:45.440 off very good. Obviously I liked him. He was very very thoughtful and 565 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:51.320 his thoughts very um, very good. Um. I'm thinking that's not gonna 566 00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:53.159 change. I don't think that's gonna change you are who we are. I 567 00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:57.880 think he'll just be more careful in what he says. Yeah. Um, 568 00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:02.280 I think one of these things the kids don't understand how how influential they are 569 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:07.000 this level, from little kids even to the adults. Yeah, no, 570 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.800 you're you are, You're you're absolutely right. People, they listen for sure. 571 00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:14.960 How you're on the r and I on the ball. Yeah, this 572 00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.840 is Nico, man, Nico, what's up? Ain't nothing? Man? 573 00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.719 I listened to the podcast this morning when I was that work which one Yesterday's 574 00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:27.400 Okay, who do we have on yesterday? Well we have Brad Alice had 575 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.559 Yeah we did you let's do the whole two hours? Yeah, man, 576 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:34.719 I had to do prep and stuff, But that doesn't matter. I agree 577 00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:37.519 with you, Jay, what you said at the end. Arizona is a 578 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:42.199 football town. Where did you go, Nico? So what was the choice? 579 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:46.079 Football? Or Rose Bowl or Final Four? Also, just you know 580 00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:51.559 when football is going, we're a football town. It's just that it has 581 00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:54.599 been going for a while, right, Nico, Exactly? And I think 582 00:39:54.679 --> 00:40:00.960 the city thrives for football. Man, basketball is basketba. Well, what 583 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:04.079 do you mean thrives? They wish for it to be good or what do 584 00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:09.159 you mean exactly do you do? You say that because you go to the 585 00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:14.159 football games but don't go to the basketball games. I say it like this, 586 00:40:14.360 --> 00:40:16.800 Man, if I missed a football game, I'm pissed. If I 587 00:40:16.880 --> 00:40:21.440 missed a basketball game, I don't care. Okay, Okay, that makes 588 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.760 sense. That's it in the nutshell. Yeah, And I think that's I 589 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:28.360 think that's part of it. Again. I think when football those years that 590 00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:31.599 football a few of them that they're having the football has been really good or 591 00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:35.239 even just when you thought they were going to be good and you were having 592 00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.920 your foot Saturdays are a big deal and basketball, you know, game games 593 00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:44.079 kind of come and go. I agree with that exactly. I might be 594 00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:45.679 a little biased because I grew up with I was just gonna ask you. 595 00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:50.079 So you grew up here, what were you and you're like late twenties now. 596 00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.719 I think we've been talking to you for a while. Now, what 597 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:57.519 are your biggest memories? Man? When I was a kid, it was 598 00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:04.960 collecting cups and tickets stuff because they suck so bad, going in the game 599 00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.840 at half time. Yeah, but that's pretty much your memory that they haven't 600 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:15.400 been good. Right, twenty fourteen, that was a good season and that 601 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:20.760 was okay, ago, give me how many five? How many seasons? 602 00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:25.599 Yeah? Five? Come on, But but seasons have been fun. There 603 00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:29.599 have been some seasons that haven't been great, but it still been fun nic. 604 00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:32.199 Would you agree with that? Hey man? Every time you're at you 605 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:37.480 have a stadium, it's like a party around Jay though apparently people to sit 606 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:43.760 down. Look, Dick told me had to run of seven and four seasons 607 00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:45.679 that we're all really fun. You know why because at the end they beat 608 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:50.280 Arizona State every time, and so those were fun. We look back on 609 00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:54.840 those as a fun time at least I do, hey man, But you 610 00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.159 are two sounds of football, Tien. There you go, Nico. I'm 611 00:41:59.199 --> 00:42:04.119 with you man, you guys. So I was in somewhere with some of 612 00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.280 my guys, older guys, older dudes, UM, and ask them the 613 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:08.119 same question. I said, I don't know if you listen to you today, 614 00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:12.760 but I asked this. We asked this question, and what the choices 615 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.599 between Rose Bowl and Final Four? If you if Final four has never been, 616 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.119 you've never been. It was split? It was split. Yeah, 617 00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.800 it was definitely split. Yeah. Um, and I kind of knew who 618 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.159 would pick football, kind of who knew basketball. But of the eighth there, 619 00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:28.840 who was Okay, so let me ask it this way. Then, 620 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:31.920 let me ask it this way back when Ludolson had just gotten here, all 621 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:36.079 right, and we didn't know anything what it was going to be. Come 622 00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:40.079 sure, right, So let's say in the eighty or eighty five you're putting 623 00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:42.960 in there, you're putting me in that time frame? Yeah, okay, 624 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:45.679 okay, when you first got I already know what I'm gonna say. All 625 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.559 right, let's take this call. You're on there and I on the ball. 626 00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:54.039 Hey Jay, this is done? Hey do um? I wanted to 627 00:42:54.159 --> 00:43:00.519 piggyback off a Nico was saying, but on a on a longer perspective, 628 00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:07.440 I'm born and raised in Tucson. I'm fifty seven years old. And when 629 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:13.719 I was a kid, and before the Phoenix Cardinals came, everybody got to 630 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:19.800 choose their their professional football team. That's why there are so many Pitchburg fans 631 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:24.079 in Tucson, Raiders fans, Cowboys fans, heck, even Dolphins fans, 632 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:30.000 because we always got the top games on TV. So everybody got to pick 633 00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:34.440 of the best teams to be their team. But Arizona brings us together. 634 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.159 We all did. Everybody likes football and we can't always agree on Sunday. 635 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:44.039 But on Saturday, when the Cats are good, like Niko was saying this, 636 00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.280 this town rocks. When when when the Cats are good or when they're 637 00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:51.119 fun like you said, when they're fun? Okay, dog, how many 638 00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:54.519 times is that? How many years has that been? How many times have 639 00:43:54.639 --> 00:44:00.280 they had? Yes? See, I think they've been more good than bad. 640 00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:04.599 Oh come on, no, I mean, look, we've had long 641 00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:08.239 stretches of bad, right then, we've had long stretches of bad. We've 642 00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:13.440 had some seasons that were roller coasters or you win one, lose one, 643 00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:17.119 win two, lose two, and then everything else. But at the end, 644 00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:22.239 if we beat a su it's all good. We're you know, if 645 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:25.519 we finished the season plus one and ASU puts us at that, it's a 646 00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:30.719 good season. Because let me ask you this, Steve, Yes, what's 647 00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:37.159 better no football? Would you rather be no football? I mean, because 648 00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.840 that's the attitude that that I hear from people that are from big cities, 649 00:44:42.840 --> 00:44:49.599 from major sports cities, that it's just college college but two sundays of college 650 00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.400 town. There's a big deal here. That's not a fair question to no 651 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.000 football. We give me something else. Well, let me say this though, 652 00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:58.239 you said, how many fun seasons? Yeah, every one of rich 653 00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:01.199 Rod's years was fun except one, which is the which one last three and 654 00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:06.000 nine season that they went remember when they didn't win They didn't win a league 655 00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.440 game until they beat ASCU. I don't even remember. They ran five thousand 656 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:12.679 yards against a SCU in that game. But every one of his other seasons 657 00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:16.840 were fun. They were seven and five seasons they you know, whatever ended 658 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:21.079 up with a bowl game, those were all fun because the football was filled 659 00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:23.719 so done. To answer the question that we had yesterday Rose Bowl or Final 660 00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:30.320 Four, given that you had never been to either one in Tucson, Well, 661 00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:32.400 we haven't hosted a final four here in Tucson. But we've been to 662 00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:37.760 four. I say the question is if Arizona has not, let's just no 663 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.159 final Imagine that Arizona has not been to a final four. Okay, never 664 00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:45.840 been to one. Would you rather go to a final four or a Rose 665 00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:52.000 Bowl? I think a rose bowl? A rose bowl because it's one. 666 00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:59.800 Football is Football is bigger than everything else because one game, one game of 667 00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:04.440 football is like three games of basketball. It's a it's a whole week of 668 00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:08.719 baseball. So when you when you win one, it's that much better, 669 00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:13.960 and if you lose one, that's why there's that much worse. Done a 670 00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:17.119 really good point, Donny, are you married? Yes? Okay, if 671 00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:20.360 you're not married and you get married, I'm gonna go to the dollar store 672 00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:23.239 and get you a present. That'll be my present because you're not you're not 673 00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:30.599 expecting much. I love you. Don well think to think about it. 674 00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:35.719 A Major league season is one hundred and sixty two games, and they just 675 00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:40.360 extended the football season to seventeen games. So one football loss is a ten 676 00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:45.800 game losing streak. Yeah good, that's yeah. Or seven game losing streak. 677 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:47.400 Yeah no, seriously, I hear you. I hear you. All 678 00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:52.199 right, go ahead. Well, I mean that's why it's such a big 679 00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:58.360 deal. I mean, and then now we have so much information that as 680 00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:00.920 a fan that tries to pay a ten mention to you know, the salary 681 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:06.519 cap and everything else and all that stuff there, there's no joy in winning 682 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:09.840 anymore because as soon as the game's over, you're worried about the next week. 683 00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:16.599 Yeah, well I'm going to I'm giving you paper plates for your I'm 684 00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:23.119 past paper, past paper. Thanks the whole bunch. Man. Appreciate you, 685 00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:27.719 Appreciate the callee. Always talk to you. Appreciate, appreciate you, 686 00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:30.719 guys. Okay, where I was okay, perspective, Okay, where I 687 00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:36.000 was going is let let because we talked about imagine there's no final. Let's 688 00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:39.119 go back to the win when Arizona was just when basketball, you know, 689 00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:43.719 with Loot was just getting the foothold, and and you think of the two 690 00:47:43.760 --> 00:47:45.440 programs at that time, and football was really good at that time. People 691 00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:50.280 love football at that point. If you'd have asked anybody, which would you 692 00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:52.079 rather right now? Would you rather go to the final four? Would rather 693 00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:54.280 go to the Rose? But I'd say ninety percent of people would say Rose 694 00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:58.320 I would say rose Bow at that time. I would say Rose Bowl at 695 00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:00.320 that time, And I would think that, I think realistically back and then 696 00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:04.480 you'd say final four, Come on, are you crazy fun? Rose Bowl? 697 00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:07.199 Yeah? Even today, I knew you're gonna go there, I'd say 698 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:09.719 Rose Bowl too. Yeah. Yeah, so I think and so I think 699 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:15.519 that when when you're that's more of an apples to apples comparison back today. 700 00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.159 Yeah, yeah, because you already know what you've already experienced, right right, 701 00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:22.320 I mean when you know with the final fours, the Arizona got to 702 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.960 have have I always been like, holy hell, this is I did not 703 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.159 go to Minnesota. I've only been. I've been to I've been to two 704 00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.039 of the four I went. I went to uh obviously, I went to 705 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.760 City, then I went to Indianapolis. Yeah, and I'm not talking fun. 706 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:38.800 I'm talking about prestige of the of the event. But you know, 707 00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:45.559 again, when when you're Arizona seven and four season on, beating as U 708 00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:50.960 was fun. That was fun for us. A winning season was fun for 709 00:48:51.119 --> 00:48:52.760 us. Oh, sure, you're winning more than you lose in football, 710 00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:55.880 because it's hard to win for in football. Yeah, every one of those 711 00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:58.880 where we're hoping that, you know, they're gonna go to the Rose Bowl, 712 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.159 and yeah, of course, but not getting to the Rose Bowl didn't 713 00:49:02.199 --> 00:49:07.719 make it a bad season, whereas not getting to let's say the lad eight 714 00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:12.639 or the final four ye expectations. Let me ask you, because I don't 715 00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.400 remember twenty fourteen, what were they predicted to finish? No, I don't 716 00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:17.400 know. I'd have to go back and look at that, but I do 717 00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:22.239 know nobody thought they were going to the festival at the beginning, and then 718 00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:24.920 that year and then the year after. After having that year, you're expecting 719 00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:30.400 these things because everybody was back, but then you're I remember, actually, 720 00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:37.199 um either either making a comment on either on a on a either would there 721 00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:42.159 have been social media back then? Then on social media expressing the opinion that 722 00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:47.840 Arizona was one game from going to the Rose Bowl in twenty fourteen. They've 723 00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:52.239 got everybody back, they got the quarterback back, they got Scooby right back, 724 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:55.599 everybody's back. Why is an Arizona being talked about as possibly as a 725 00:49:55.639 --> 00:50:00.320 team that can win the league? Because it wasn't. It's what I member, 726 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:04.920 and uh, well you know what they just listed, um in the 727 00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.360 in the news relief, they listened. Okay, in twenty fourteen or for 728 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:14.400 twenty fifteen, UM Oregon was picked to win the North, No, twenty 729 00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:16.280 fifty, Oregon was picked to win the North and USC was picked to win 730 00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:21.559 the South. And Stanford won the North and USC won the South. But 731 00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:23.760 nobody was picking Arizona twenty fifteen, even though they had the whole team back 732 00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:29.000 and had successfully begin and had had had had been in the you know, 733 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:31.559 you know, in New Year's sixth Bowl game the year before, and I 734 00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:35.679 didn't understand why that was, and I mean I knew why that was. 735 00:50:35.760 --> 00:50:38.159 It was because Arizona was Arizona. Yeah, okay, so we got Richard 736 00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:42.519 texted me here real quick. Uh, he's talking absurd. You go to 737 00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:45.400 the Final four and hope it's in Pasadena. The Rose Bowl has lost its 738 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:50.800 cache unless it's the Final four, unless it's today now. Yeah, yeah, 739 00:50:50.920 --> 00:50:53.559 U a football fans, long suffering. I hope this is a good 740 00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:59.239 year. And you gets he's right, and you're a perfect example long suffering. 741 00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:01.159 And you mentioned your dad. I mean, come on, he's still 742 00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:04.800 If he were still alive, they still wouldn't have got him to the Rose 743 00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:07.320 Bowl. No, they still wouldn't have. And I know if I've got 744 00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:10.360 there were a bunch of a bunch of because my dad, you know, 745 00:51:10.440 --> 00:51:15.480 he came to all of our baseball games, so like Chris Lopez and Pete 746 00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:19.519 Russell and guys like him. I called him out in my eulogy to my 747 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:22.239 dad, you know, I called out those guys for not getting into a 748 00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:25.920 rose ball. I think I think Dick was there. Well, I hope 749 00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:29.440 you. I hope Adam doesn't say the same thing to the next group. 750 00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:32.320 So you guys, but dad died and you never got into a rose ball 751 00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:38.079 two generations. Oh god, Well, the rose Ball is gonna be harder, 752 00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:40.519 is harder to get to, not because it's a playoff, so it's 753 00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:45.639 different, you know. So my hope is almost gone, short of getting 754 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:51.320 into the playoff and getting bracketed to go to the rose Ball to play to 755 00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:53.119 play your playoff game in the rose Bowl. Now, maybe I better shot 756 00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:57.360 at that happening when when it's a twelve team the league, but a twelve 757 00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:01.000 team to tournament. But you know, almost kind of like crap, might 758 00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:05.599 you might never see a jay I know, and I and I've not gone 759 00:52:05.639 --> 00:52:08.239 to one. I could have gone to a couple of rose bows, and 760 00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:12.159 I won't go to one. I don't want to go to one until Arizona. 761 00:52:12.320 --> 00:52:15.039 That Arizona's in Yea, Now I might have to just to see one, 762 00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:17.719 just to see what it looked like. I think I would hate that. 763 00:52:19.880 --> 00:52:24.480 I might have to get really drunk at that to enjoy it. We 764 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:28.119 gotta go, and man, that was a down. Okay, I'm off 765 00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:30.920 tomorrow. You got Andy Brown coming in tomorrow right to be to fill in 766 00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:35.440 for me and a couple of great guests, so we'll uh. I'll see 767 00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:36.719 you guys on Monday, sir,
