WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:05.519 Extreamly live, I mean I hard radio. Wow. This is High on 2 00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:12.320 the Ball with Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez on Fox sportsporteen fifty. Hey, 3 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.800 welcome back to the ball. You know Fox Sports fourteen could be on Steve 4 00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:19.079 or Jake got Sammy with bricky news almost we're waiting for a breaking news, 5 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.199 breaking news to show up. The computer is kind of like you're slow. 6 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:28.280 It's really slow. There it did? There did? There did? There? 7 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:35.000 Did? Is High on the Balls? Okay, So we talked a 8 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.320 little bit about it before the show and at breaks. But there's been some 9 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:43.759 Arizona football, as in No and t Mac, some buzz on Twitter, 10 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.960 and maybe it's it's all buzz, that's false buzz. There's a turd, 11 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:55.359 a big, giant, smoking turd who's got an Oklahoma state banner on his 12 00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.640 on his uh on his Twitter feed. So he's a big twelve guy apparently 13 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:07.359 who's just out of the blue made up that watch out for t Mac going 14 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.680 into the portal and if he goes, watch out for No Fafita going and 15 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.359 both of them going to the SEC, which to me reeks totally of wishful 16 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.920 thinking. Yeah, and it sounds like maybe he's a little scared that those 17 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.400 two guys, those two guys will be in the coming to and I'm gonna 18 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.959 kick the crap out of his crappy ass Oklahoma. And it's the same guy 19 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:32.000 that it's the same guy that tweeted cam Ward has getten off ten offers. 20 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.319 So don't click on this guy. I'm not We're not going to say the 21 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.599 name of his ID, but he's a big fat piece of poop. Yeah, 22 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.280 I found it interesting. I was just scoring like, there's no way 23 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:45.159 it gets back to what we were talking about. But being me, you 24 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.599 know, there's guys out there who just make stuff up, and that's what 25 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.959 this guy's doing. So there's no buzz whatsoever of them going anywhere very except 26 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.079 for this guy making this crap out. Yeah, that's very true. But 27 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:59.879 the college football playoff rankings as they have been came out last night. Georgia 28 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:04.040 one, Michigan two, Washington three, Florida State four, and U of 29 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.760 A didn't move there at fifteen. A lot of people maybe upset they should 30 00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.439 have hopped Louisville or this that the other I think fifteen is probably it. 31 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.840 H it's about you know, there's just it's a logjam after that. Yeah, 32 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.800 no, they aren't losing and stuff like that. But the interesting thing, 33 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.319 you know, Chris Gorman was just in here and we were talking trying 34 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.719 to debate. You can't debate this in five minutes, right, No, 35 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:29.360 it takes you know. The interesting thing was Oregon five, Ohio State six 36 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.840 six, seven, Dupid Texas seven in Alabama eight. What There's so many 37 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.199 things that can happen, and you just have to let this play out. 38 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.360 And we could sit here and come up with thirty different, thirty scenarios as 39 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.599 to who should be in, who should be out if this happens and then 40 00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:46.280 that happened. So many things that can happen that the main thing is, 41 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.439 it's going to be interesting this weekend. Yeah, there's lots of play for 42 00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.439 and if you're I mean, the thing is is Michigan, Ohio State. 43 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.319 They pretty much played for a playoffs spot last last week, and similarly this 44 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.080 week will be everyone's playing for a playoff spot. I think if you have 45 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.879 Georgia Bama, Georgia wins, they're obviously in Bama's in. There's a lot 46 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.800 of discussion the Washington Oregon game. If Washington wins, clearly I think they're 47 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.360 in. You make no debate there right there. If Oregon wins, you 48 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.639 have to see what else happens, right, And then you have Texas Oklahoma 49 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.680 State Texas one loss, if they win, you do you never know? 50 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:25.680 And the biggest game is Florida State Louis though, right, what would what 51 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:32.000 would make the committee's job easiest in whatever scenario would be a Florida State? 52 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.400 Is it? No doubt? Because there's the whole issue they're playing with the 53 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.199 backup quarterback. You know, if they get in as a number four and 54 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.000 play Georgia or whoever is the number one, what chance do they have without 55 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.520 without their starting quarterback? Yeah? And we already talked about the whole transfer 56 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.599 portal, but the number of percentage players on each roster now is up to 57 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.120 twenty percent of players on each roster or transfers, which is crazy, Which 58 00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.360 is crazy, But college basketball hasn't necessarily seen that huge transformation. I think 59 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.520 it's because of the less players. But do you think do you think? 60 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.599 I know? Do you think? I mean? Personally, I think college 61 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:15.520 football sees more player movement because it's it's so easy for them to just be 62 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.680 like, Okay, I'm gonna go do this that because there's more positions. 63 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.759 But in basketball, it's like there's only five. There's only five guys on 64 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.079 the court at the same time. Maybe it's they they wait a little bit 65 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:29.519 longer to see if it plays out further. I don't know. I don't 66 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:30.519 know. I mean, look at Arizona's roster right now. How many guys? 67 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.920 How many of those guys are transfers? How many who are Utah, 68 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.560 you tell you Palte Larson, he's been here, I know, but they're 69 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:46.759 all transfers, Love Fallow, Larson, Bradley, key Shod And there was 70 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.800 some four or internationals, five, five out of thirteen whatever, let's say, 71 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.040 let's say twelve. Actually five out of the ten guys that play are 72 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.279 transfers. Half. That's crazy. Yeah, that's how And I think maybe 73 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.319 it's because Ballo and pell have stayed here the last couple of years, where 74 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.040 you like, it feels like they're a guys. True, Well, that 75 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:14.839 team has three Saturdays coming up. They got Colgate and then home against Wisconsin, 76 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.519 which Wisconsin only lost one game. I think they should take care of 77 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.879 business and then if all is right, you have a one two versus per 78 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:29.000 Due, which is on Peacock in a couple of Saturday subscriptions. So yeah, 79 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.439 if if you are looking to watch that game, you might want to 80 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:39.000 invest in in Peacock Peacock stream, you might want to invest. But if 81 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.839 that's the case, because I don't know if you guys saw the Michigan State 82 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:44.240 you of a game, I don't know if you guys talked about it. 83 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:47.879 I figured five million people watch that game. How many of those do you 84 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:55.319 think we're Arizona fans? Five million? Well think we're football football fans. 85 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.120 Who said that I'm not watching the Commanders. True, it was, it 86 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.720 was, it was placed. It really was the only other sporting thing on 87 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:09.160 which good good market and who wanted to see the Commanders not me man brutal 88 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.600 game. But speaking of the NFL, Aaron Rodgers is off the i R 89 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.560 and reports. They haven't said if he's coming back to practice, if he's 90 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.160 going to be whatever it may be. But it's less just about three months. 91 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.519 There's video. Yeah, he's playing, he's playing, throwing, passing. 92 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.040 Yeah, I just I don't understand the point in this. If if 93 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.199 you're him, if he can play, he can prove a point or do 94 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:36.920 whatever. Rogers. Some people I think you weren't here with Yesterday, Kevin 95 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:41.480 and I were talking some Colum has said he may not have had the Well, 96 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.399 it's kind of shaky whether he had the legitimate That's what I was saying 97 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:50.639 a while ago. If he had the actual Achilles, I mean you you 98 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.879 you do see it? Why would you fake it? I mean Rogers, 99 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:59.439 I wouldn't pay kind a revolutionary you know, like like before Tommy John surgery, 100 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:01.160 those guys careers were over and then they had Tommy John surgery. Now 101 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.480 you get Tommy John surgery and you're back the next year. No, they 102 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:06.439 have Aaron where he used to be your your arm used to fall off. 103 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:10.360 Basically, Aaron Rodgers, What do you have Aaron Rodgers surgery? I have 104 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.720 it tomorrow. Yeah, chair, I need that. I need some of 105 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.839 that. Then my legs are sore. Oh god. Aaron rodd like man. 106 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.519 Good for him. But if I am him, though, it's and 107 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.240 if you're a Jets fan, is there any I don't know if they I 108 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.959 don't know if he's gonna save the season. They're already pretty bad and I 109 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.600 don't think they can really make the playoffs. So it was it's really interesting. 110 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.480 Maybe he's proven a point, but old quarterbacks seem to be in this 111 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.160 week. Joe Flacco, Joe Flacco. Man might be starting for the brown 112 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.560 Yeah, he's at the Browns. He's behind Dorian Thompson Robinson. Who they're 113 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.199 saying is he's in concussion protocol Solas the backup? Howld is he? Have 114 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.639 you looked it up? It's could be able. Thirty eight ish at least 115 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:59.600 no forty something, No forty something, forty one. I'm gonna say we 116 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.040 got born in eighty five. Thirty eight thirty eight bingo, thank you? 117 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.360 Still thirty eight. You don't know a lot of things, but you know 118 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.120 that thing. Thirty eight is pretty old to be thrown throwing a football in 119 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:15.639 the NFL. But well, who's thirty eight? Lebron's what forties one? 120 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.000 And Rogers thirty eight? Yeah about there? Thirty eight thirty nine. Man 121 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.000 still kind of the need to be a managers proving it. You just need 122 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.120 to be a good offensive manager. Don't get hit, That's the thing. 123 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.839 Getting hit. Don't get hit. The NFL. When you get hit does 124 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.039 not feel good. Mark Cuban sold his majority stake in the Knives yesterday and 125 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.399 he's leaving shark tank. Yes, after sixteen years, so some I don't 126 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.279 know if something's going on in the Cuban house where he's Have you seen a 127 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.799 price tag on how much he's three point five billion right for a part of 128 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:54.480 it now majority he's in charge. Still he's still quote unquote well you saw 129 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.919 the one of the reasons why right, they're trying to get a casino in 130 00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:01.399 down Yes, and so they the guy who's trying to get the casino too, 131 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.120 is taking over the majority of the woman. Oh, the woman, 132 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.000 she's the widow of the love Las Vegas Sands. Oh okay, that's why 133 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.360 she's got you know, the once she has twenty billion dollars. This is 134 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.879 like she sold just have one. Yeah, in Sammon's mouth, she sold 135 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.679 ten percent of her stake of Las Vegas Sands for two billion. Man, 136 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.960 this is gonna be a running joke. This sucks. Well. The funny 137 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.960 thing about you're not you're not our girl d when she came up with some 138 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:35.159 funny words like like there was one about uh uh kind of not a sexual. 139 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.240 She kind of got the wrong it'll come to be, it'll come to 140 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.639 be, it was like, and then you window it was kind of funny 141 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.080 when she's what I say, Oh, I'm sorry to say that. I 142 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.080 can't say that. So we'll see if Dallas or if the team has anything 143 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.360 to do or say. And we already talked quite enough about the end season 144 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.039 tournament, but the eight teams are solidified, four teams looking to go to 145 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.240 Vegas, and uh, there'll be the first in season tournament champion. And 146 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:05.440 the last thing I have, Jay we got. Tiger Woods is back in 147 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.759 professional competition this weekend at his own Hero Classic in the Bahamas. And his 148 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.759 swing looks pretty good? Does it? I ben't seen. I was. 149 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.559 I was telling him talking about this yesterday that you know time because Tiger shows 150 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.440 up on my TikTok like every day, you know, all the when you 151 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.919 see the incredible stuff he did back in the day, and for him to 152 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.360 still be playing is cool. I I you know, I'm a fan. 153 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.720 I watch and I want to see how he's doing and and I'm hoping he's 154 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.039 doing well because he you know, he moves the needle. He does. 155 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.200 And so I was coming from my meeting with with the tour and that's all 156 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.159 we were talking about for a good forty five minutes of how are we gonna 157 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.519 cover Tiger. What's that coverage look like? And he does. He moves 158 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:56.120 the needle more than I hate to say it, maybe any other athlete in 159 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.879 their sport. I think he would be first. Lebron would be second, 160 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.360 yeah, and maybe now Rogers third, or when Brady was here. Yeah. 161 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.440 But it's it's really interesting because he's you have no expectation for him to 162 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:13.840 win, but you wouldn't be surprised if he does exactly watching to see if 163 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.720 yeah, he does, because you want to see if he does well. 164 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.919 He's ranked one hundred and tenth or some that his official world golf ranking is 165 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.559 probably nowhere near where it is, but he has he has exemption to anything 166 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.720 you want because because he's won so many but he's won. But what you 167 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.399 go back to, it's like when he won the Masters, after he came 168 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.039 back, like I never thought I'd ever see that again, right, and 169 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.440 for him to be wearing a green jacket again, it's just like now every 170 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.879 time he plays, it's like, oh man, he might could he do 171 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.440 it? He could? And also he doul no I know. And then 172 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.240 also coming back for the golf junkies is Will's Ala Taurus. He had a 173 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.399 back surgery, kind of kind of constructive back surgery, like seven months ago, 174 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.360 and he's he's gonna be back. He's one of the world's best. 175 00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.159 So to be good golf watching if you're that's what you decide to watch this 176 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.879 weekend. If he started doing back when you're in a Tiger Woods a shown 177 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.600 you start doing back when you're in the golfer man, that's not it's no 178 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.080 fun. It's no fun. But I played around the golf we we can 179 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:13.440 last week for the first time since before football season started. Back for two 180 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.720 days. That's fair. I was for two days. I know I played. 181 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.960 I played a couple of rounds like back home and I my brother hadn't 182 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.159 played, and I took him with me. Woke up the next day he 183 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.399 goes, Dude, it feels like I just didn't workout my back. It's 184 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.879 the back is no no, you don't mess around with that in golf. 185 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.039 And for Tiger to still be playing the way he is and he's playing with 186 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.159 his kid in two weekends, that little kid pisses me off. I was 187 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.879 about Charlie Woods. Yes, why because he's so freaking good at such a 188 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.200 young age pisses me off. I mean, I would be good if I 189 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.759 was, if I was Tiger's son. Man, I know, it's it's 190 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.519 kind of like really good. What's weird is you have all the kids like 191 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.879 the james Is, like Bryce and Brownie, they grew up with basketball, 192 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.720 they were going to be good at basketball. And you have Charlie Woods going 193 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.080 to be great at at golf. But you also have some kids that are 194 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.799 just like like George Jordan's kid, right, which like I don't I don't. 195 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.799 I don't know him. I don't know anything about it. But it's 196 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.559 like you would think like that would be kind of his lifestyle. He's just 197 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.840 stating supermodels and all that. That's all he gets. He gets all the 198 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.519 other stuff. He's got the other game. Good for him, Good for 199 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.960 him. But quick, I know, we talked some about the breaking news 200 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.960 and some of it, but that's the breaking news. At a couple of 201 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:26.679 quick things. Women's basketball sold over fifty nine hundred season tickets. Really so 202 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.879 tops in the tops in the league again, I think, and looking to 203 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.279 be tops in the league in in oh. It's most season ticket holders in 204 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:39.120 Arizona women's basketball. She's still selling it, still selling it, man. 205 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:45.960 That interesting stuff was another one we mentioned the transfer portal. Today, Duke's 206 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.960 quarterback Riley Leonard jumped into the into the portal his coach, Yep, his 207 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.039 coach you know, has gone over to Texas A and M. Then did 208 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.799 you see there was a picture of Arch Manning with the new Texas A and 209 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.399 M coach with Mike Elcho saw that the former Duke coach at Texas A and 210 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.159 M. People going what the hell is going on there? Because he was 211 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:09.080 third string at Texas this year. So a couple of interesting things there. 212 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:15.720 Uh, seth La Trell, former assistant at Arizona under I think he was 213 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:20.159 here when under stoops right. He is now the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma. 214 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.240 And then, as Steve mentioned off air, Dana Demmel, the former Arizona 215 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.799 assistant also head coach at U tab was on our guest when our show a 216 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.600 couple times he got fired, so tough go for him, Yeah, no 217 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.480 question. Let's stick the break forty seconds and then we're gonna come back with 218 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.039 hold Rubino, hold Rabina.

This is I on the ball 295 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:18.400 on Fox Sports fourteenth. Hey, welcome back to Fox Sports forteen fifty on 296 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.160 Steve Rivera, Jigins also now and the pole we have Hod Ravino from the 297 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.079 Devil. So I just hold, how are you doing? I'm right great, 298 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:26.839 Steve, thanks for having me out. Yes, no, thanks so 299 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.519 good to see you over the weekend. I have a couple of quick questions. 300 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.599 So what were you thinking when Arizona State went up seven year old right 301 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:40.519 away? And then what were you thinking when they couldn't score anymore? Well, 302 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.480 don't you know, I mean, they'll have the offense phrase. He 303 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.279 was coming with a lot of smoking mirrors. I mean you have to look 304 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:49.000 no further to their winning the rose ball against UCLA, where the swinging gait 305 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:53.680 absolutely baffled the Bruins. And I was a little surprised because I know that 306 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:57.240 you've a coming into the game was pretty formidable against the run. I think 307 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:02.759 they're ravaging d and one yard and to see a scoring drive with seventy five 308 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:07.200 yards all on the ground and by the way, mostly by tight end gel 309 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.759 and Gon and running back camp Scattergo. That was a little unexpected, But 310 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.960 I also knew that a one dimensional offense, no matter how it's achieved, 311 00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:21.319 is not something sustainable. And I knew that the u of a defense, 312 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:26.200 at least in my opinion, really the difference between them really taking that next 313 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.480 step and playing at the level that they're playing. So I knew that it 314 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.559 was not a sustainable recipe for success. So I'm not surprised at what ensued 315 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.119 after that scoring drive. But to your points, David, it was. 316 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.359 It was impressive there for a few minutes, that's for sure. It was. 317 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.000 Then, you know, it certainly gave Arizona fans a little bit to 318 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.000 think about, you know, because Arizona fans, being Arizona fans, you're 319 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.759 always thinking the worst. So I know that I know that there's some people 320 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.839 around me who said, oh no, what the hell? But that got 321 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.680 you know, that got turned around pretty quickly. But let me ask you, 322 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.880 because you know, it went south really fast and really badly, and 323 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.079 you know that we know what that feels like over here, but it still 324 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.079 feels different because at Arizona, when that seventy to seven thing, happened. 325 00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:12.559 You know, Arizona was still headed the wrong way because Kevin someone was still 326 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:17.160 the coach. You guys have you know, a new coach, you kind 327 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.799 of have to feel more like that's got to be the bottom. We're going 328 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.039 the other way. I mean, huh, what's been what's been the reaction 329 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.240 to what happened Saturday? Yeah, I think that coach Kennan Dillingham said it 330 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.599 best that the team did hit rock bottom after a near forty point loss at 331 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.200 home to their in state rivals. So I don't think anybody is trying to 332 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:40.920 even attempt to spin or furger coade what happened what happened last Saturday. And 333 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.039 I think what may matter is even worse if you will, that this is 334 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.960 an AC defense that absolutely got their teeth knocked in three out of the four 335 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.519 games, three out of the four games. In November, he had a 336 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:57.680 fifty five to three loss on the road at it'sel Lake City. I believe 337 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:03.079 it was a Donald forty forty nine thirteen. I was sorry forty nine to 338 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:08.799 twenty three loss to University of Oldgan the week before. So yeah, I 339 00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:14.240 mean this there was definitely an ANC team that was struggling quite a bit on 340 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.240 both sides of the ball. So to have the icing on a not so 341 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:25.599 great cake being being the loss in the Territorial Cup game, This definitely wasn't, 342 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.079 you know, anything that you could look back and dismiss and say, 343 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.279 you know, if I think that, goodness, the season's over. I 344 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.920 really wasn't definitely frustrating November for a team that really, aside from a home 345 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.440 loss to Fresno State twenty nine to nothing another way back in mid September, 346 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.720 really was not getting blown out. I mean they were in a lot of 347 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:52.000 games since that, but once it come November, it definitely was a team 348 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.160 that was struggling quite a bit and had that three blowout losses in one month. 349 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.240 That was definitely not a pretty side for the first in mp GO. 350 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.720 Wide ranging on some questions here, So what's so what was the the temperature 351 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:11.200 back a few weeks ago when Anderson was finally decided to leave or whatever that 352 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.839 would be. Was it ding dong the witch is dead or what what is 353 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.960 it? Yeah, that definitely was not. There definitely were not a lot 354 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:25.359 of tears shed in Marcopa County once once Ray Anderson was no longer the athletic 355 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:30.960 director of Arizona State. Uh, if anything was frustrating is that it was 356 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:36.039 announced a couple of days after that improbable win on the road against u C. 357 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:40.599 L A. Where I don't think folks thought that the season was finally 358 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.359 going to take a great turn or anything, but you know, folks are 359 00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:48.319 feeling good that and undermanned Arizona State team, you know, goes into the 360 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.079 rose Ball when UCLA was still considered, you know, maybe an above average 361 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.640 team. I know the perception changed pretty soon after that game, but you 362 00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.119 know, here they are swinging gates, you know, having a running back, 363 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:03.000 plate quarterback, kind of tied end playing quarterback and then winning the game. 364 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.359 And then comes the announcement about Ray Anderson. So maybe folks were frustrated 365 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.039 about the timing of it, but I think that the fact that he's no 366 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:17.599 longer the select director was definitely a welcome a welcome message in MP. I 367 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:22.640 mean, I don't think that it would be even slightly harsh saying that the 368 00:25:22.640 --> 00:25:30.519 person that's responsible bringing herm Edwards to MP the hire that have resulted in a 369 00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.319 massive failure on so many levels, that that is not a person that Arizona 370 00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.559 State fans wanted to see him power anymore. They didn't want to see him 371 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.160 making any decisions whatsoever. I mean, I know if I came on this 372 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.680 show or you know, when Kenny Diniam was hired or not. But the 373 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.880 Ken Day Lamb higher was absolutely the boosters wish it was not Ray Anderson campaigning 374 00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:53.519 for him. It wasn't the university university president Michael Crow campaigning for him. 375 00:25:53.799 --> 00:26:00.880 It was absolutely the boosters that were one hundred percent full just dismayed by what 376 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:07.519 Ray Anderson was promising with the hire from Edwards to say to say did not 377 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:10.559 deliver, you know, you know, it's just like saying it gets a 378 00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:14.279 little warm in the state of Arizona in the month of July. So it 379 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:18.480 was just really really frustrating to see the her members Aaron fold the way was 380 00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:25.079 and when when her when her Edwards finally parting ways of Arizona state, folks 381 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:27.599 wanted to see back in September of twenty twenty two, Ry Anderson do the 382 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:32.079 same. So it came much later than fans wanted. But I would say 383 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.319 definitely a welcome sight in tim b when that happened. So is there any 384 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:41.680 sense of what characteristics specifically then that you know ASU does want in its athletic 385 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.799 director. Is it just we know we don't want that, you know what 386 00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:48.839 I'm saying. I mean, what are they looking for? Yeah, well, 387 00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.599 you know, Michael Crowe has done really one out of the box higher 388 00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.759 after another after another, ever since he was in charge of hiring a Plague 389 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.880 directors. He had Lisa love Back. I think it was what two thousand 390 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:06.559 and full five if memory soon as we correct, then you have the Patterson 391 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:10.160 that came from the NBA world in the professional sports world, and then he 392 00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.400 had Ray Anderson, but at one point was a white hand man of Roger 393 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:18.599 Goodell, the NFL commissioner. So I think that folks are maybe hoping for 394 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:23.200 a more traditional hire now, somebody that's really ingrained in the college sports world. 395 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:27.599 And granted it's a college sports world has changed massively just in the last 396 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:33.200 two three years with NIL with a transfer portable, So somebody that's really savvy 397 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:38.079 enough to navigate that landscape, which is definitely a challenging one. I think 398 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.880 that would be the wish for for Arizona State fans. And I think also 399 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.599 the director has to be a fundraiser. I mean the NIL conference at Arizona 400 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:52.880 State are definitely nothing to write home about, and even now into the Big 401 00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.799 Twelve, I think it would still be ranked in the lower world of the 402 00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:03.240 NIL level the Big twelve teams have. So I think that, you know, 403 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:06.559 those are some of the characteristics of this on paper that I was going 404 00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:10.240 to say is looking for I'm just wondering and much like they can, can 405 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.680 you dealing them higher? Is this a higher that the boosters are going to 406 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:17.880 have a much bigger say than probably people think it is, or this gonna 407 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.000 be Michael Kodwell just making the higher again, maybe going out of the box 408 00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:26.279 again because he thinks it's working great even though it hasn't. It's it's really 409 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.480 really hard to predict right now. But again I think a really savvy athtic 410 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:37.200 director that can navigate NIL, navigate transfer portal and be a good fundraiser that 411 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.960 would be on the wish list. Whether it happens or not, we'll see. 412 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.000 So the financial situation down here is will documented. Arizona lost two undred 413 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.599 and forty million wherever they lost it. What I hear this week or maybe 414 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.480 just recently, that issue has its own financial issues. Is that true? 415 00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.119 Well, I mean financial financials is a SACRAMENTIL honestly did not hear that. 416 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.559 But as far as NIL issues, Kenny Dillingham was very transparent, and when 417 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:07.720 he went on the radio post game following the lost Arizona he said, I 418 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.880 need to raise five million dollars in two weeks to have an adequate NIL level 419 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.920 just for the twenty twenty four football season. So I mean, if that's 420 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:19.079 if that's the financial issue that that you're referring to, then yes, that 421 00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:26.680 is something that is definitely Kenny Dillingham's mind front and center from trying to replace 422 00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:33.079 an offensive coordinator, aside from going to exit interviews and seeing which players are 423 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:38.200 staying voluntarily or sorry, which players are leaving voluntarily or involuentari there's a lot 424 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:44.559 of Kenney dealing own's plate right now. But he was very honest saying that 425 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.839 he's going to have to cut down on his off campus recruiting activities just because 426 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:55.000 he's doing the fundraising for NIL here in MP so really greens to see how 427 00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:00.799 that's gonna all pan out. And obviously when you look at the caliber players 428 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:06.039 leaving, staying, and coming in, then you could make an educated agains 429 00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.680 as to if Kennedy Dillingham was successful with his fundraising interest for the NIL, 430 00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:15.160 but that is absolutely a monumental task that he has been and will continue to 431 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.480 be engaged for the next three weeks. Did did the season go? I 432 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.559 know it wasn't a great season, but did he do enough or give people 433 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.160 enough hope that they're going to give him that kind of support or that he 434 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.839 has a shot at getting that kind of support? I mean, are they 435 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:33.240 happy enough with what it looked like this year in spite of the wins and 436 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:38.359 losses? I don't think anybody's really content with what happened. I mean, 437 00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:42.200 the win loss record ultimately is the same as it was in twenty twenty two, 438 00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:45.799 and there's obviously there's much more hope going into twenty three than it was 439 00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:53.039 in twenty twenty two. But Kenny Dillingham said that you don't have the luxury 440 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.480 to just wait until the team wins and only then contributed. NIL. Just 441 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.880 really just feel excited about the program. I mean you really have to, 442 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.839 well you roll your sleeves back, support this to them as much as you 443 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:10.680 can. Uh with NIL probably being the biggest vehicle and in supporting the team, 444 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:14.119 I know a lot of fans put their money where their mouth is, 445 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:17.279 and once Ray Anderson was gone, uh, they said, okay, now 446 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:21.000 that now that Ray Anderson is gone, we are all going to contribute to 447 00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:26.039 N I L. Now did that result in an influx of hundreds of thousands 448 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.200 of dollarsands at N I L? I would say probably not. But uh, 449 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.160 you know, the grassroots movement anywhere, and that's important. It seems 450 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.400 to grow more and more just to keep up with the Joneses, if you 451 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.400 will, when when it when it comes to it comes to the NIL level. 452 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.319 So I think there's maybe some optimism with Ray Anderson being gone. I 453 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.119 don't think anybody should really dismiss that aspect. Uh, But you know, 454 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:55.079 in terms of fans contributing because of content with the other programmers right now, 455 00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:57.359 I don't think it would be that. I think it's really just answering Kenny 456 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:02.359 Dillingham's plea that you cannot wait for the program to win and win consistently and 457 00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:07.039 only then contribute because that because if you're going to take that approach, the 458 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.160 teams that are going to win. We have all three minutes left to hear. 459 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.240 Let's talk about basketball real quick. What's the Uh, this is kind 460 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.640 of where Arizona's doing really well down here. Everyone knows that number tween in 461 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:22.440 the country, and I'm sure people there pay attention and have for a while. 462 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:28.359 What's the basketball temperature up there given early situation. Yeah, it's really 463 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.240 just been a roller coaster season, and I don't think it's really any different 464 00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:37.559 than the early ten year and tenp You just have some peaks followed by some 465 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.440 valleys and lost rooms repeat, and mean, you know, really there's that 466 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:45.079 many peaks really to speak about in this in this very young season. You 467 00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.920 know that'll win against Vanderbilt. You can say, okay, high major program, 468 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:53.720 but nothing that's really going to move the needle. Very very lopsided losses 469 00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:59.880 to Book, Mississipi State and BYU has tempered maybe any excitement that some fans 470 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.680 for NAPS had about this team. It's just really for sitting to see Bobby 471 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.720 Hurley turning arguably his best season in t MP with twenty twenty three wins last 472 00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:14.000 season and lose so many players to the portal. That goes back to the 473 00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:17.799 nil issue that I mentioned with football. It's definitely evident in basketball too, 474 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.119 So I think there's really a lot of weight and see to see how the 475 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.759 rest of the non conference schedule does pan out for Arizona State. I mean, 476 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:30.039 there definitely are some challenging games still on the schedule. I think the 477 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.440 expectations are very tempered about this team being middle of the pack. But when 478 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.920 you see losses that they had for Mississippi State and BYU, you wonder if 479 00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:44.279 even if you can reach that middle of the pack. So it's just really 480 00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.880 a big wait and see right now with Arizona State basketball. I can't see 481 00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:51.880 if the results to date have been that promising, But let's see by the 482 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.119 of December, folks aren't feeling better about this, But that's still a huge 483 00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.160 questions and key injuries that need to deal with too. Okay, no, 484 00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:00.799 great to hear from you. Good to see you the weekend. We'll probably 485 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:09.639 get back with you when Arizona faces them in UH in February. Good insight, 486 00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:14.440 good insight. Yeah, you know, Look, they're kind of where 487 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:16.599 Arizona was a couple of years ago from a football set point, you know, 488 00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:22.599 like except for the fact that well, let's say after even after Arizona 489 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:24.679 hired Jed, people were still not feeling great about you know, the program 490 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:29.840 because they thought who they hell that they just hired. But I think they 491 00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:31.559 feel pretty good about their coach. In regardless of the fact that they, 492 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:35.719 as he said, they got killed in three of their last four games, 493 00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:39.599 they still have to feel better about things than they did before. Well, 494 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:44.039 they have to hope that there's some hope for next year for them. We 495 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:46.800 gotta go break real quick.

There's so much more to n Il chasing Rubby doubbles 499 00:34:59.840 --> 00:35:01.440 with the boosters because you have to have a good program.

Yes, he was on a brief 590 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:57.320 time you and and of course Sammy fills it in and I do too. 591 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.239 I don't know he didn't want to. We're on a seven game heat and 592 00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:04.519 we want to make it eight to night against a tough Raptors team who's got 593 00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:08.239 talent, but they don't know how to use it. Well, what we 594 00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:12.840 were asking Leander about the n season tournament. Have you liked what they're doing 595 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.559 with that or have you paid attention to it? Didn't mean anything. I 596 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:19.400 was confused and didn't like it at first. Now I'm all in, it's 597 00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:22.159 a great idea. They play a little tougher and but you know, like 598 00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:27.519 anything, they do have to watch playing too tough. You want to save 599 00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:32.320 it for the end of the year. But I don't think anyone's gotten injured 600 00:42:32.320 --> 00:42:36.039 so far. It's been success. Yeah. Well, I mean they would 601 00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:37.519 be playing these games anyway, be playing games. It's not like they wouldn't 602 00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:44.440 be playing games, right, and they would be playing them anyway. If 603 00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:47.639 you're in the championship, you'll just be playing one extra game. That's how 604 00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:57.000 it's going to work. And like he said, it's good for the teams 605 00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:00.400 that the guys that aren't making more than a half a million dollars, it's 606 00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:04.320 great for the team for players to get a little extra money on there, 607 00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:07.280 you know, until the end. It's great. Yeah, no, I 608 00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:12.480 agree, I agree. What else is that? Man?

Where are you going to send me to the 654 00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:30.960 gallery? Man, see, I need I need to back on defend my 655 00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:37.480 brophy trophy on man. Pardon me. Okay here, let's Steve. Do 656 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.559 you never make smoke bombs out out of h put a bunch of dirt in 657 00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:46.159 a baggy and lobb it and that was a smoke? No, my fire 658 00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:53.719 making. So I didn't do that. No guy played Little league baseball. 659 00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:58.880 We all did that, did that. But yeah, we went way deep 660 00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:00.840 there. That was really bad. Okay, anybody want to call and get 661 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:04.960 us, you guys, get us out of this. Really a good show 662 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:13.239 today with Tom Leanders and ut All. Right, here we go. You're 663 00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.880 on the air and I on the ball. Hey, you guys, is 664 00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:22.760 a game? What's going on you guys are doing today? We're okay, 665 00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:25.400 we're waiting for your call, Gabe. Yeah, we're barely hanging on right 666 00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:30.559 now. Well, I'm super I'm super signed. Oh you're so sweet. 667 00:47:31.599 --> 00:47:39.599 Anyway, I got two questions to ask you. So do you think Gleac 668 00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:45.000 and Riley is on the hot speat and would go to the NFL? No, 669 00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:50.719 but yes, not yet right if if if it starts out bad next 670 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:53.000 year, I could see him being on it pretty quickly. And I also 671 00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:57.119 think that he found out that you can't control the media where you're at. 672 00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:05.719 Yeah, exactly, He's he's an ass clown and a huge app. I 673 00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.360 don't think he's on it today, but I think he could be on it 674 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:15.119 by mid season next year, if particularly if the defense shows zero improvement. 675 00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:21.079 Yeah and yeah, I totally agree with you, because USB is going to 676 00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:25.559 a to a new conference, a bitten and they're and they're not kings of 677 00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:32.960 the conference right Ohio and Ohio, Say and Michigan are now USC and the 678 00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:42.000 others and the other thing was I think it's an evitable for Jetfish and the 679 00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:51.239 and the assistant coaches to get a good uh pay bonus. But but and 680 00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:55.559 I'm not worry about that. But I'm just kind of puzzled in in fact, 681 00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:02.360 why why would Jetfish go to like to UCLA or Florida. So let's 682 00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:09.159 take those two schools. Ucla is going to the BIT ten. They're gonna 683 00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:15.639 have struggle in that conference, going up going against ohiosety, Washington, USC, 684 00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:22.519 you name it. And I don't think why would you? That doesn't 685 00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:25.760 make any sense. And the same thing with Florida. Yeah, I know 686 00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.440 you have a lot of booster money. I know you have a lot of 687 00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:37.760 money, and fans really care about Florida. But for two seasons, if 688 00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:43.360 you go six and six or seven and five, they're gonna send you to 689 00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:49.159 the guillotine in a way. But but I don't I think Jeff Fish should 690 00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:55.559 stay at Arizona. I really hope because because us Arizona fans, we we 691 00:49:55.559 --> 00:50:00.000 we're not like any SEC fan base or even the BIT ten fan pace. 692 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:05.239 We're just at least could he do so if you go eight and five, 693 00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:09.000 nine to three, or and then one or anything, like that we're gonna 694 00:50:09.360 --> 00:50:15.599 build you a bronze statue. So that's why I kind of think, I 695 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:21.000 mean, I kind of agree. I've been feeling this or thinking this for 696 00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:23.280 the last just couple of weeks as his name has popped up. I think 697 00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:28.360 the bigger threat for Arizona in terms of losing Jetfish should be losing to the 698 00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:35.599 NFL. And I'm totally fine with it. If you go to the NFL, 699 00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:40.760 okay, cool, then have have a secession plan and like friend Brent 700 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:49.000 bt F Carol will take over as the new as a new head coach because 701 00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:55.280 Brent Brendan Carroll has been on Jetfish's death and I'm totally fine with any one 702 00:50:55.400 --> 00:51:05.360 of of him being the next head coach because because it's finally times whereevers on 703 00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:09.639 the be relevant of football, NASA basketball, So I'm really I'm just super 704 00:51:09.679 --> 00:51:15.239 excited. And plus he basically said that we want to be like Utah. 705 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:19.440 So all right, Kate, thanks so much. We gotta we gotta run 706 00:51:19.519 --> 00:51:21.880 right at the end of the show, but appreciate the call as always, 707 00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:25.480 okay saying you guys, take easy, be safe, thank you know. 708 00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:30.920 Again. To Gabe's point, look, I think if Jed Fish is here 709 00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.960 two more years success, that's as much as theirs expect. He may stay 710 00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.920 longer. But I'm saying if he's here five years, yeah, you've gotten 711 00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:40.880 what you've gotten out of him? What? Yeah? Right, I mean 712 00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:45.679 it all depends too on what the next two years, especially next year like 713 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:50.079 holds in terms of how we play. If we go out and we're and 714 00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:52.639 I'm not saying any of this is gonna happen, but if we go out 715 00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.840 and we win the conference next year, people are gonna be after this all 716 00:51:55.880 --> 00:52:00.400 over him. But if we go out and we go we win seven gamesmes 717 00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:04.800 that that that Jed buzz, that Jed buzz is gonna die down and we'll 718 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:07.480 have him for a little bit more. And it's all peaks and valleys with 719 00:52:07.519 --> 00:52:09.800 head coaches and nuts and and I don't think it's a given that he's gonna 720 00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:13.519 leave, but I think you know, look, you look at his track 721 00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:16.760 record, and he's you know, he's I could see him moving around, 722 00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:20.440 so we'll see. Yeah, no reason to worry about it right now, 723 00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:22.480 though, right, Steve, Yeah, why worry about something that may not 724 00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:28.320 happen exactly? All right, Hey, fun show, it's good Christmas vacation. 725 00:52:28.480 --> 00:52:30.480 Go watch it. Okay, all right, and Steve could be in 726 00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:32.400 a grump, be a nicer grump this year. It's all reputation there, 727 00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:36.960 Steve. We got some Ariah carries for you on the way out. Steve 728 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:45.199 likes that. There you go. I don't care about the present, the 729 00:52:45.400 --> 00:53:04.639 Christmas tree, just watch you. Full my make my wist. I want 730 00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:13.840 all prison it
