It's de Rivera and Jagans Dolln. 2 00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:13.160 This is High on the Ball on Fox four fourteen fifty Hey, welcome back 3 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.399 to one of about here on Fox Sports fourteen. I'm Steve Rivera here, 4 00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.559 Jagon's Austen. I hope you hust break news. Oh yeah, I guess 5 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:24.839 I canna hug that up right, because they do. High on the Fall 6 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.719 Breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty eight. All right, Um, so 7 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.039 much stuff going on, so good news, good college football near is a 8 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.079 bad bad college football news. Um. The twenty of the biggest thing is 9 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:48.560 that eight former Northwestern football players have hired a lawyer, a well regarded civil 10 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.960 rights attorney by the name of Ben Crump and his law firm to represent them 11 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.119 regarding the hazing case up at Northwestern. So the others eat right, and 12 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.920 that's the point. Very interesting thing was that this letter came out that said 13 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.280 the entire Northwestern football team was signing onto that letter, and only one or 14 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.519 two came out, and that they said one or two are quoted in the 15 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:18.879 you know, anonymously in the Northwestern School student newspaper. But now there's eight 16 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.120 former players have retained this attorney of Ben Crump. So now there's eight. 17 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.000 Whereas as you said, as I said, you know, there's a this 18 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.200 letter came out that was allegedly and I used that term when it came out, 19 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:38.159 allegedly the entire universe Northwestern football team was backing of Pat Fitzgerald and saying 20 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.920 that none of this, that it's all overblown and none of this happened. 21 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.840 Y gotta now you got eight and they expect there to be more. Well, 22 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.280 there was something, I mean, you read the story. I'm sure 23 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.640 this wory about it up, but there was something in the story I think 24 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.680 from the attorney saying that this is going to kind of expose all of college, 25 00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:02.040 all the coach from college athletic correct this uh a statement that was an 26 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:07.360 issue by the by the law firm said from forced participation in humiliating act very 27 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:14.159 important here, racial bias, to punishments that afflicted severe physical discomfort, sexual 28 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.879 abuse, and psychological trauma. The lawyers have uncovered a vast array of incidents 29 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:23.159 of abuse in the Northwestern football program. Um then went on to say, 30 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:30.639 uh, where is it. Our research suggests that this kind of abuse so 31 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.879 student athletes may be far more common on college campuses than we know, because 32 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.960 there's tremendous pressure to keep quiet. It's time for reckoning to protect young athletes. 33 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.599 And they say that they're they're not holding this, uh, this case 34 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:49.159 to Northwestern only, right, Well, guess what, Jay, You're the 35 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.639 perfect time to ask the people at SEC, the people of the Pact twelve, 36 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.599 the people who are commiting at certain areas, right say, is this 37 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.280 an issue you don't want to go an? Say no, none in my 38 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.240 place, none of my MANI place the quote from the same and more players 39 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.400 are expected to join the legal action in the coming days. The legal action 40 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:14.479 is expected to expand beyond Northwestern's football program, and we'll expose extreme and abuse 41 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.800 of hazing in other college athletic programs as well well. It happened at my 42 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.479 almamater just the run of last year at the Mexico State. It came out 43 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.840 because two guys didn't want to put up with it anymore. And not surprising, 44 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:31.000 right, as you shouldn't you shouldn't have to, but it's not surprising 45 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.960 to me. You've seen it in a high school level, You've seen it 46 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.800 the youngers. There's always a there's always a dominance like they have to be, 47 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.039 and it's not. It's not just by accident. It's a learned How 48 00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.400 can I say this, It's a learned thing because the previous class, the 49 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.280 previous class. It's a continued type of life. And it's kind of like 50 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.240 maybe you hated it when they were doing it at you, but now it's 51 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.840 my turn to do It's very very much so it's a cycle that doesn't stop 52 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.680 like a lot of other things. Cycle's got to be broken right somewhere along 53 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.479 the right and maybe this might be it. But uh, but again, 54 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.840 the biggest thing to me on this team, as I said, was just 55 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.280 this crap letter that came out from the team saying and they put the in 56 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.079 caps entire Northwestern football team, and I knew that wasn't true. True. 57 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.079 I knew that wasn't true. Of course, right, No, of course 58 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.000 that's what pushes me off, because you know who who's the guys that did 59 00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.920 this are the guys who wrote that letter and put it out and adding to 60 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.759 the whole thing that if we think it's okay and you know, we're gonna 61 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:41.040 keep doing it, sure thing true And so I hope all the here and 62 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.279 here's the other thing, no other coaches and own, no other players have 63 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:49.600 been disciplined so far. Why why haven't the players who allegedly did this stuff 64 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.439 disciplined? Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't. I 65 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.759 couldn't tell you why I think that. But I don't think that's gonna happen 66 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.040 because I just don't think it's gonna happen. Oh, I don't certainly should 67 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.879 the question. They should, but there's not that part of it won't come 68 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.759 out. I think just the fact that they enlightened everybody that is happening that 69 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.240 they won't go as they they said. They kept the head out the stink, 70 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.040 right, got rid of the coach. Right. But I'm an agreement 71 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.920 with you. If he knew, if he didn't know, some of the 72 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.240 assistants that we have, and they were sticking around, right exactly all right, 73 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:27.199 a lot a lot more more of the whole law enforcement type in college 74 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.720 football. Jeremy Pruett. You know, it was the head coach of the 75 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.519 Tennessee They got, they got, they got banged the last last week. 76 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.720 Jeremy Pruer, a sixth year a show cause, Um, say, what's 77 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.399 the big deal? I did this? At Alabama as an assistant coach, 78 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.519 and he talked about instances at Alabama where he was handing out cash and uh, 79 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.160 and he just didn't think it was a thing that was all that bad. 80 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:55.800 And he did talk about in in his when he talked about talked to 81 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.560 investigators from the NC double A. Yeah, I did it. I gave 82 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.759 up you know, I gave him mom three hundred dollars. It was during 83 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.879 COVID. She had no money. The fund that was helping you know, 84 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.920 students, you know who didn't have any money was out. I gave her 85 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.839 three hundred back. And those are the ones that you go, that's okay. 86 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.800 Didn't she give it to him because she would depressed because of George Floyd. 87 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:17.279 Well I heard that, Yeah, well you know he said that. 88 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.160 He said that in the context of all the things going on at that time. 89 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.920 I'm including George Floyd and Dy. You know, this is a family 90 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.319 and that's went through a lot of stuff. And he gave him the money. 91 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.519 But then the same mom later on down the road said, well, 92 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.639 he gave us three thousand dollars at another time, and he's denying that he 93 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:41.040 did that, or maybe two thousand dollars but you know, they've gone through 94 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.680 and found records of massive, like five figure withdrawals of cash from his bank 95 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.920 accounts that they're saying he was using that money. He was just keeping a 96 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:56.959 you know, fun fund and that he's basically kept in his car to hand 97 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.839 out as needed. So, um, it'd be to see if there's any 98 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.120 enforcement or if well, it's probably not because there's a statute of limitation to 99 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.680 all of this. I don't know if it's five the five years, I 100 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:11.360 don't know, something like that. So playing the Jeremy pru it's still still 101 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.360 making news by some of the things that he was doing over at UM, 102 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.519 over at Alabama and Tennessee and stuff. So all right, a couple of 103 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.639 the things. I'm a Zula's to balance. Actually signed his contract with with 104 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.079 Philadelphia if you didn't play a whole lot at least not as long as you 105 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.879 think. He got a two way contract. Yeah, yeah, he's going 106 00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.759 to be a league and he'll he'll you know, potentially be called up to 107 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.839 the NBA. That's a few times. Did you see did you see his 108 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:42.519 video that you will be produced? Not just kind of he was Zulus has 109 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.279 been to Zolas doesn't say a whole lot just kind of choppy, which, 110 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.399 of course I would be decid do that now on the show. But you 111 00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.240 know, always does, always said is I just want to play. Yeah, 112 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:56.600 it's whether with the main main team or with the second team. Um, 113 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.319 I just want to play. That's what I love to do. Yeah, 114 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.639 yeah, all right. Speaking of contracts, and I think I think 115 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.240 you and I need to take a little credit for this one. Clancy Shield's 116 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.240 got a five year extension as a head tennis coach at Arizona. I think 117 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.360 our discussion last week that we think maybe he was the best coach at Arizona 118 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.639 this last year was maybe maybe the final thing that fashion the thing. He's 119 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.040 certainly going to say that to him next time he's on the show, that 120 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.240 he can thank us for making that statement, and they probably got him his 121 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.680 five year deal. Yeah, Jay, I think we want a lot of 122 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:33.679 matches this year. But thanks anyway, thanks for I appreciate what you guys 123 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.399 said, but thank you. But uh, he's he's gotten a five year 124 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.679 extension to his contract, so good for him. You know, he deserves 125 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.639 that. He's done, he's done some great work. So he's he's supposedly 126 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.799 signed through twenty twenty eight at Arizona, right, which is great because he 127 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.960 is one of the hidden gems at Arizona. He really is. He really 128 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.679 is. Um okay uh on. On another another issue, Dave Lawn the 129 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.639 coach got I fired from Arizona, but you got fired at Arizona. He's 130 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.840 he's got a new job at TCU. To see you wow, well, 131 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.639 and that's a good program. Yeah, in the same capacity here, it's 132 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.879 as as its third assistant or whatever that means. Okay, he's an assistant 133 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.480 coach. I see you was really impressive this last year place they knocked Arizona 134 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.080 yet, right, so they played really well in the tournament. Yeah, 135 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.399 so so he's uh so there you go, did you go? Dave lan 136 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.840 Lands at TCU. Good for him, Bill, because again, whether they 137 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.279 did a good job or a bad job, except for Kevin Sumlin, I'm 138 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:39.919 always hoping to get another job somewhere, right right, Steve. I wanted 139 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:45.000 to make a joke about get over already, but you know you're right all 140 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.480 right? Um NFL running backs man having a tough time getting any contracts. 141 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:54.399 Have you seen this stuff? No, Saquon Barkley, Tony Pollard, who 142 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.200 is taking the place of Ezekiel Elliott is gone somewhere. Nobody's even talking about 143 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.519 him. But he's replaces Ezekiel Elliott for the Cowboys. And then um, 144 00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.480 the last one, um um um um, Gosh Starner, who's the last 145 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.080 one. I had it right here? Um oh, Josh Jacobs at the 146 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.240 Raiders. None of them could get contracts done. So they're all signing a 147 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.960 franchise, the franchise tag um to play this year. We're about ten million 148 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.279 bucks. It's one of them. It's it's weird or not weird? Um 149 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:30.159 that the running back position and this the pros is just it is, you 150 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.039 know, so you know, I think I immediately think of b Jehan Robinson, 151 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.799 who I think he said gets thirty million dollars guaranteed, right well, 152 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.159 no, no, no, this is another contract thirteen overall who can get 153 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.879 paid so endorsements by whatever it is. He's gotta, you know, he's 154 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.639 got to make sure that he takes care of it because it might not last 155 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.600 long. But Derrick Henry Um, the running back at Tennessee who's widely considered 156 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.879 the best running back in the NFL right now, tweeted out, at this 157 00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.320 point, just take the RB position out of the game. Then the ones 158 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.399 that want to be great and work as hard as they can to give their 159 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.399 all to the organization, it just seems like it don't even matter. I'm 160 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.159 with every running back that's fighting to get what they deserve. Ladies, don't 161 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:13.080 let your baby's growth to be running by running backs. Exactly exactly I mean. 162 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.799 But you know, it's been that that position has been devalued a lot 163 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:22.000 over the last several years. All right over to SEC media days, Greg 164 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:28.559 Sanky was on at the podium the of the um talking about NIL. You've 165 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.840 actually said Congress needs to get off its button do something, he said, 166 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.559 not because not because we can't do it. It's just that all these states 167 00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.360 have created they're all their own laws, he said. And not only did 168 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.080 the states create their own laws, they're not enforcing those laws. So there's 169 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.360 no enforcement of any NIL rules anywhere. His quote was, we have no 170 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.679 oversight, we have no state enforcement. We have states that don't enforce their 171 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.240 own laws, that say the NC double A can't enforce in that state, 172 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.919 so it's become nonsensical. Yeah, so he makes you say the only thing 173 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.679 consistent get the bomb because of all they consistent the only places can get done 174 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.320 is in congress. He goes, I know they've got a lot of the 175 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.440 stuff to do. They shouldn't have to be doing this, but we need 176 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.320 them. But we had um the tooth catcher, uh the softball, that's 177 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.879 right, um a while back, maybe a month ago, and she was 178 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:26.639 fantah. Oh yeah, I see her face and I just can't uh, 179 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.279 which was very she was brought on and how she described the situation. It's 180 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.840 they're they're doing things that this was not the intention, not never intended to 181 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:39.440 do, right, And now you've the genie's out of the bottle. If 182 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.639 there's no way this model is going to be uh closed with the back in 183 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.519 the ball, you can't Yeah, you can't put the twoth face back in 184 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.600 the back in the And then I don't know how. I don't know how 185 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.919 they're gonna fix it. But I have no idea the kids to come here. 186 00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:00.639 They're getting any dogs. Yeah, she was fantastic in an explanation, 187 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.120 and I'm thinking this is exactly it. Giving Jagin's always a truck or a 188 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.200 car or a next some money just to get here. Well, aout having 189 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:13.039 to ever do anything is not the reason why you created this, right, 190 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.360 Yeah, you created to give them an opportunity to make money off their names 191 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.440 like when they're here instead of just giving them money for you know. And 192 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.200 and there, you know, he talked about how you know that he knows 193 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.480 that that one of the schools they had a quarterback. He was there and 194 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.120 somebody called him up and said, we can get you more over here, 195 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.600 so I'll come over here, and jumped into the transfer port and he goes, 196 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.480 I know that happened, and it's and we know what's happening all the 197 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:39.120 time and that and that's not how this was supposed to work. So, 198 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.559 uh, you know, really interesting stuff. And then the transfer portal stuff 199 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.840 he talked about. You know, you could tell he he really wanted the 200 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.240 SEC to go to nine conference football games. He said, they just don't 201 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.799 have the vote. They just got, you know, they got you know, 202 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.320 there could be eight teams. I want to stay at eight games and 203 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.600 there's nothing he can do. Could be a loss in there that they didn't 204 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.720 want us I don't want to deal with. And he said, he said, 205 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.039 look, this was eight conference game. Eight SEC games is a hard 206 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.679 schedule, no matter why, right, So that's why they don't want to 207 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.200 add a nice because that just adds another hard game to your schedules. But 208 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.080 everybody else is doing nine games. He wants the ninth game, but then 209 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.840 he just can't able to do that. So it's it's been a tough golfer 210 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:26.000 him on that. Um the real real quick, DeAndre Hopkins uh got signed 211 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.080 getting signed or got signed by Baltimore. No, by the Tennessee time, 212 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.879 Tennessee, that's what he There was an expectation that he was going to go 213 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.919 to the Patriots, and the Patriots whatever, whatever they needed to do, 214 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.159 they didn't do. So DeAndre Hopkins received you real quick. Did you see 215 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.000 a golf with Steph Curry. Yes, he's fantastic. He can do anything. 216 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.240 I was just gonna say that guy hole at one. It's an eagle 217 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.320 to win the tournament.

I've been doing 296 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.839 this for this is the thirty year I'm doing this. I basically I get 297 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:41.640 my sun down anything and I go to work.

And I mean, that's that's the routine I've had 300 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.720 for like the last two years. And it's just it's all I know now, 301 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.880 and I love doing it, and I love college sports and what I 302 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.160 do on Twitter and Instagram. It gets people talking about it, and otherwise 303 00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.119 how I wouldn't be talking about it talking about other stuff. So um, 304 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:11.519 I love what I do and just you know, I can't wait for this 305 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.960 season we get started. Let's go with you, go ahead and go ja 306 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.759 with the funnel ones. Okay, well you did put one out of Lohau 307 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.839 back. They've really got I'm gonna tell you got some Tucson people fired up 308 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:27.960 about this. Whether you put out the best weather the College Times with the 309 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:33.359 best weather, yeah, and you said you when people got spent sideways on 310 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.599 this one, was that you put Tempe ahead of ahead of Tucson. We 311 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.519 like to think of our weather downe here. While it's hot, it's hot 312 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.279 as well, it's not as hot as it is up in the Phoenix area. 313 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.160 So how did you come to that conclusion? And who did you talk 314 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:52.559 to about that? When I think of Tempe I just think that, Well, 315 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.759 Tucson is further south, so you got it does get hotter there. 316 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:02.759 So that's really kind of how I came to putting tempy ahead of too Sonny. 317 00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:07.200 Okay, well they just hunter what the truth is. But to that 318 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.319 is it the officis because for some reason the Phoenix areas what they call is 319 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:17.559 a what they call it a heat Uh, it's all concrete up there, 320 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:22.319 so concrete jump that I know, like the airport Phoenix, Like I've been 321 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.200 there before, when like flights get delayed to the run way. Yeah, 322 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:32.559 it's too hot. Yeah, it's times to ten degrees hotter up there all 323 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:37.400 the time. So that's that's what people got worked up about. Now they'll 324 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.000 do all the lake and all that kind of that they made over there. 325 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:42.559 They stole some of our waters to build their lake. But uh, but 326 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.319 weatherwise, I don't know. I think I think people that a little proud, 327 00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:48.599 a little proud of their weather. So we're gonna we're gonna call you 328 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.319 on that. What you can change it next year? And everybody had I 329 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.720 definitely need to go back, Like University of Hawaii like quote tweeted that and 330 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.759 they're like, hey, big game, Boomer we appreciate the law. Uh 331 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.240 you know in other discussions, but you might want to redo this month. 332 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.000 Yeah, I forgot about Hawaii.

It's all it's fun discussion. Those kind of lists aren't. Yeah, 350 00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.319 and then there and there there are a lot of fun So today you 351 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:17.759 did best offensive best offensive line, and you had Arizona in your top fifty, 352 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.000 which that's you know. I'll now now everybody loves you. Hear. 353 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.599 Um, tell us what you know about person offensive line and why you put 354 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.240 them in your top fifty. Yeah, I mean they've got I think three 355 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:32.799 start going back. I really like um a Rego left tackle, Jordan Morgan. 356 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.480 I he's a really good guy. Um Josh Baker at center. It's 357 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.279 another person that I'm really strong about. He's the anchor of that line. 358 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:47.799 Um. I mean as one offense is going to be really good this year. 359 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.480 Um, they're not different, get the national respect. But people like 360 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:57.599 me that you know, beet flee and breeze college football. Know that this 361 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.519 offense is going to put numbers uh this year. And I think, you 362 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.200 know, Michael Wiley is a good running back. I mean I had left 363 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.440 him on my top fifty. I felt bad about that, but still it's 364 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.559 the running back to you or they got with with Wiley and Jonah Coleman. 365 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.559 I think they're gonna have a lot of that offensive line is going to create 366 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:22.200 a lot of holes and do a great job at protecting the laura in the 367 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.079 backfield. You also have the there was a little special teams uh in the 368 00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:30.480 top forty. I think it was not too longer ago. Uh talk about 369 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:36.839 that one. Kyle Austendorf, he's my guy man that he is a great, 370 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.480 great funner. I really like him. I think, uh J Jacob 371 00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:47.319 Towing is the you know, he's the guy that's getting a kick returns to 372 00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.599 bump returns. He's a playmaker. Anytime Jacob Cowing touches the football, he 373 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.640 can score a touchdown. Um. So I like the special teams for Arizona. 374 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.559 So you know in going to while this stuff, I mean, you 375 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.200 know, are we talking you know, Georgia and Alabama in Ohaio State and 376 00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:08.079 Michigan and everybody else after that again this year, I mean, what are 377 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.680 your what are your thoughts going into all of this this year? Well, 378 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.680 George, I mean Georgia has got to I mean they've gotten they've got the 379 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.039 roster. I mean, they should be able to get to the national championship 380 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:25.279 this year. I don't see how that doesn't happen. Now. I'm very 381 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:30.599 high on Michigan. I think this is a year for them to really put 382 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:34.039 it together and get to the national Championship, win a playoff game. But 383 00:27:34.119 --> 00:27:38.680 yeah, it's the usual thoughtspects. It's Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State. 384 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.599 You know who's gonna be that TCU that's gonna come out of nowhere and make 385 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.640 it to the national Championship. I think there's a few schools. I'm high 386 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:56.039 on. Oregon State, Wow, I like, you know, Hit is 387 00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:59.880 a sneaky good team in the ACC. You just you never know. I 388 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:07.680 think the transfer portal has really created more charity in college football, so you 389 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.640 know, we'll see. Um. If you had to ask day, I'd 390 00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:17.720 say my college football playoff is Georgia, Michigan, Florida State and LSU would 391 00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:27.319 be all right now and it's coach Sabans. He's on the Yeah Alabama. 392 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:33.319 Hey, I was at Alabama spring game and man, that quarterback situation the 393 00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.759 reason they got a transfer right after that spring game because I mean, it 394 00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:44.359 was an ugly show at the quarterback edition. Yeah, it was not pretty 395 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.319 at all. Um, So not surprised at all. They went out and 396 00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.480 got a guy in the portal. Yeah. Interesting because I think I think 397 00:28:51.720 --> 00:28:55.200 Paul Feinbaum's in trouble with him as well, because he was on his show 398 00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:59.079 today saying that that that Alabama's got to win a national championship this year, 399 00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:03.400 could have Nick Saban's like legacy, and I'm like, what are you talking 400 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.759 about. I don't know about one of twelve national champions Just what are you 401 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.279 talking about? Yeah, he's still He's still the goat, regardless of what 402 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.559 happened this season, stopped to stay on top. So you mentioned Oregon stake 403 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:21.720 some of your thoughts on the PAC twelve patwelve media days coming up on Friday. 404 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:23.920 Uh, we're you know, USC and us LA in the league for 405 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:30.599 the last time. A lot of people talking about USC being a playoff contender. 406 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.640 What are your thoughts going in with? You know this is the most 407 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:41.000 excited I've been about pack fall football then gosh, maybe the USC days with 408 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.519 Liner and Reggie Bush. I mean, you've got a quarterback play and this 409 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:51.440 conference is going to be phenomenal. I mean you've got Caleb Williams, Michael 410 00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:56.039 Ennis, Junior Bone Nicks, Jaden Delora, Shanor Sanders will see how he 411 00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.920 does it Colorado, Dante Moore at UCLA. I mean, these are all 412 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.599 all these offenses are going to be off the chart. Um. I think 413 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:08.920 or they're a sneaking good team because they've got a really good defense and very 414 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:14.680 physical football team. I forgot to mention Utah as well. I mean there's 415 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.400 five or six teams that they could win this conference. And that's the problem 416 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.480 though, you know, they haven't been to the fact the college football playoffs 417 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.079 since Washington was there in what two thousand and sixteen, And I think it's 418 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.839 the conference is just going to cannibal as itself because there's there's so much talent 419 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:36.279 and there's no clear dominant you know front runner. Um that that's gonna just 420 00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:38.519 know go undefeated. No, we all agree with you. We talked about 421 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:41.279 that. In fact, all the good quarterbacks in the league there was another 422 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.400 one a couple of days ago, four days ago, effect the most loyal 423 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.039 college found base in every state. You did, in fact, to pick 424 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:53.839 the Arizona talk about that. I better, Yeah, you put it Arizona. 425 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.759 The fans are, I mean, basketball wise, they're one of the 426 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.880 best in the country. Football, they're starting football fans, They're they're coming 427 00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:08.119 out of the woodworks. I'm starting to see a lot more Arizona chatter on 428 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:15.200 social media, and I just I think when it comes to loyalty, it's 429 00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:22.400 just they're the fan base has the support of Jed Fish, and I just 430 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.240 I think that they're they're more loyal than Arizona States when it comes down to 431 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:29.680 it. I mean, I don't see a lot of people are there is 432 00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:36.559 in the state baseball or softball or basketball games UM the at Arizona UM. 433 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.839 So that's just my take on that down there. I think you're probably right. 434 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.039 And the thing the thing up up in up in up at a SCU 435 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.799 is that you know, with with all the post sports that they've got, 436 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.240 you know, their fan base is really divided, you know, with the 437 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.279 Cardinals, the Suns, you know, it's a lot of I mean, 438 00:31:55.519 --> 00:32:00.400 the Phoenix areas a lot of people that are not from Arizona. I don't 439 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:04.119 have any affiliation with the school. I think in Tuson you get more of 440 00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:08.960 that kind of you know, overwhelming support from the city where I don't think 441 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:14.119 you get that intempered. Yeah, no, I You're you're You're one hundred 442 00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:15.519 percent accurate on that. You know, you go to you go to an 443 00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.519 airs on the Cardinals game, and you know, half the team, half 444 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.680 the fans or Cardinal fans, and the other half are the other team, 445 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.039 and so it's, uh, you know, that's a that's a that's a 446 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.720 usual thing, and that's all. Going to go go to a Dodgers Diamondbacks 447 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:31.079 game up in Phoenix, you know, may being a Dodger fan, but 448 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:36.079 you know they amazed a lot of you gotta be a d Back fan. 449 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:39.000 You know. I grew up and we had the Dodgers on the radio here 450 00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.880 growing up. I've been the Dodgers fan all my life and okay, I 451 00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:45.880 couldn't change it. You know. I sort of got involved with the d 452 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:50.480 Backs through some work we were we we named the spring training facility down here 453 00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:52.400 the company that I worked for. So I was kind of a Diamondbacks fan 454 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.440 for a while, but never really stopping a Dodger fan. And it just 455 00:32:55.599 --> 00:33:00.240 again from growing up here in town. They were they were two sons team 456 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.039 because we had among the radio there, so that didn't go away. I 457 00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:07.680 get it. That's I mean, you know, that's just there was just 458 00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.640 no change in man. So what do you just maybe last week you only 459 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:14.440 have like ninety seconds. Uh what's your next list? And then how do 460 00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:17.359 you come up with this craziness? Uh? Well, defensive lines Uh, 461 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.160 Topicy Defensive Lines is coming out tomorrow. Um, I mean book, it's 462 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:28.400 just me. I ranked all the players by position group. Uh that like 463 00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:30.920 a month ago. I just kind of look look at those lists and then 464 00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:36.240 um real, I mean I'm right now, I'm just watching a ton of 465 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:39.839 games from last year and uh there's no really no sports on TV. And 466 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:45.480 that that's how I formed my opinion. And you know upside, I mean, 467 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.839 it's just it's my opinion and I put it out there and you know 468 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.240 a lot of people let to argue about it. So Jones, Jones, 469 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:54.119 do you are you married? Do you have kids? Yeah? I am 470 00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:59.039 married. Um, she must probably love you.

Should have told Boomer that, yeah, 540 00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:05.760 well, and what are you gonna do? Um. So, we 541 00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.480 were talking about where we thought Arizona would finish in terms of the media poll. 542 00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:14.760 I'm looking at the future of God the wind Pollo. So you've got 543 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:21.719 Stanford and Colorado both decidedly below Arizona at Stanford at two and a half wins, 544 00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:25.440 Colorado three and a half wins. You got Arizona ascu a caw All 545 00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:30.239 at five winds or four and a half depending on four. Arizona. Somebody's 546 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:35.159 got the Arizona at four and a half. Who um, look, FanDuel 547 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.119 jump all over that. Fanduels got him at four and a half. Yeah, 548 00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:45.679 wow, wow, you get that right, you go MGM drafting everybody 549 00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:51.280 else hasn't five? Five? Yeah the Tels you need sick, Yeah, 550 00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:53.239 you need six. Yeah, that makes sense. I think that's more even 551 00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:58.280 five. It's I think it's a decent path, you know. I think 552 00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.639 it's more more realistic to go over five. The nunder five right by five 553 00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:06.000 is harder because now time, I don't I'm only winning four games right right 554 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:07.039 right, If it's a five and a half, you say, okay, 555 00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:09.280 five and seven, I can see them doing that. Yeah, but I 556 00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:14.880 don't think they're going four and eight right right. Yeah, if you're gonna 557 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:16.559 I haven't been any of that. You had it. They gave you. 558 00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:20.559 They gave you free money two and a half last year. They gave you 559 00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:22.760 when they bee at San Diego State. It was like, all right, 560 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:27.599 I've already hit this because they were gonna have Uh. The only thing the 561 00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:29.760 only thing you didn't do is put more money on it, because you know, 562 00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:34.159 you just didn't. But I'm sure it's you think, you know, 563 00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.239 because it was a lot more money on it than my wife finding me to 564 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.960 have one. But I got all excited. I thought I was gonna win 565 00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:43.880 this pen. She goes, what the hell are you doing beating that kind 566 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:50.199 of money on? How did you see them play? I know, I 567 00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.119 know, I know he'll take your calls. On Tuesday four one, six 568 00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:54.559 seventy four four, we've been talking about a lot of stuff. Big Game 569 00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:59.000 Boomer was on talking about you know, how he does goes about his business. 570 00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:00.840 I can't imagine almost time he spends you know, for a whole year, 571 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:04.840 years or stuff like that with thal with a four year old kid, 572 00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:07.360 a little as he said, he called him a little game Boomer, which 573 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:08.559 I thought was pretty funny. Yeah, I mean, and the list, 574 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.960 you know, sec sec all these justs are different, right, Um, 575 00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:15.880 packed up, Mediaday coming up. Justin Spears was on in the first hour. 576 00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:19.760 We'll be on there. Well we'll find out, you know, are 577 00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:22.880 we gonna get anything out of Jane de Laura and or jet this? Yeah? 578 00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:24.320 I should have passed them most situations. I should ask him where he 579 00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:28.519 thought there was gonna was in the land? Um, in the in the 580 00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:31.320 league. I'll find out, right, he always you know, he'll be 581 00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:35.400 the one post, so we'll hell, I'm sure he'll post his pick. 582 00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:39.800 Um. I bet, I bet, I bet Justin puts them put the 583 00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:49.239 set, yeah right, probably ahead of Stanford, Cal Colorado a SEU, 584 00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:54.000 I mate puts them ahead of those four teams. Say that would be that 585 00:41:54.039 --> 00:42:01.320 would be no you said no, no, Um you know the last time. 586 00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:07.000 Yeah, um, well maybe maybe eight. I don't know. Yeah, 587 00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:08.719 I'm not too sure. It's hard to say. When he talks about 588 00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:13.599 Oregon State, it was hard to even hear that because they've been so obscure 589 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:15.960 over the years. But they didn't have a good, pretty good year last 590 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:22.320 year. I you know, because again because I'm because I'm that guy, 591 00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:24.760 right, I just remember, I just think of what Arizona does is what 592 00:42:24.840 --> 00:42:28.760 other teams are gonna do. I feel like there's so many people talking about 593 00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:31.719 Oregon State this year, it's gonna get to them and it might not be 594 00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:36.960 as good as everybody thinks. Well, and apply that same theory to Arizona, 595 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.039 right, But see, I think there's still people's say that Arizona is 596 00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:45.119 gonna but see the world total is five right for Arizona. Okay, so 597 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:46.920 people are thinking Arizona is not going to a bowl game this year, or 598 00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:52.800 at least that's what that's what the uh so they got fans who thinks Oregon 599 00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:55.159 State or stay in half? Oh? Really Yeah, I would take the 600 00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:00.039 under on that bow. Yeah, I don't well get to see their schedule. 601 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.920 Suit's life. Yeah, but uh you know so no, I guess 602 00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:07.719 Yeah, if they were in Arizona was ahead of four teams, they would 603 00:43:07.719 --> 00:43:12.119 still be eight. So I don't think you put them ahead of Washington State. 604 00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:15.079 You certainly don't put them ahead of Oregon State or you see how Yeah, 605 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:17.480 I bet you, I bet you, justin most guys pick them at 606 00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:22.960 I bet that's where the realistically, I think that's whereas well. Eight and 607 00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:25.039 if you win seven games, that's a pretty good that's a pretty good conference. 608 00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:28.480 That's a pretty tough conference. While you look at the teams. If 609 00:43:28.519 --> 00:43:30.840 you look at you know, this year, Utah two time defending champion. 610 00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:35.559 Yeah, who did they open with the n of you? Right, Arizona? 611 00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:40.079 Right? Yeah? In Mississippi States. That second game, that second 612 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:44.800 game on the road up, that's gonna tell you a ton. I mean, 613 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:47.800 if they go off and do something stupid like beat Mississippi State. This 614 00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.239 place is just gonna go. You already have it as a loss. I 615 00:43:51.400 --> 00:43:54.119 do, and they'll still no, no, no, no. Yeah. 616 00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:58.840 I think I think they go two and one and they're they're in their who's 617 00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:00.159 up to cheat? Okay, yeah, you step here? Yeah, So 618 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:02.599 I think they go to on one. All right. Then now you got 619 00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:07.039 to go get four games to Beliegue, you know, if you get the 620 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:12.719 ones you're supposed to right as u and in Colorado. Okay, all right, 621 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.360 you get those two and Stanford that's three. Now you just got to 622 00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:21.719 win one true kind of true. Put bring it up. Let's see Okay 623 00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:23.480 the schedule, all right, um, all right, as we said, 624 00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:29.519 opened at home at home against NAU then go to Mississippi State. Okay, 625 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:31.559 that's the one. I just see them being one one and one. At 626 00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:36.880 that point you've come home and you've got up, you've got utap two one, 627 00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:39.440 and they're they're two and one. Then I you know, I'm still 628 00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:46.519 calling it up here. So, um, I think they go to they 629 00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:52.119 go to Stanford and they've got to get that another one three to one. 630 00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:59.800 So so they're three one one. Washington at home three and two at USC 631 00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:06.719 three and three three. Then you got these two games at Washington State in 632 00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:10.239 dependent on weather and all kinds of other things. Oregon State here, who 633 00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.159 so let's okay, let me just say they lose both three and five. 634 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:16.840 Okay, just just for personal and then we'll go the other way with it. 635 00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:22.599 Okay, Ucla here, Uh, they always find a way to somehow 636 00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.760 play. Well. Let's let's assume for a second they win the one four 637 00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:30.239 or five, four and five, go to Colorado five and five, five 638 00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:36.000 and five, Utah here five to six, and then ah, that's a 639 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:37.800 shot game down to that, right, Yeah, yeah, both games, 640 00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:44.119 especially the it's a three game, four games stretch where it's um at Washington 641 00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:47.320 State. You got Washington USC back to back. Okay, no, right 642 00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:52.000 after that, and then Washington State Orgon State those two games in there right 643 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:54.000 there, and then one of those games they'll get to six and you'll get 644 00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:58.960 you'll get to six then maybe second right right right one of those two. 645 00:45:59.079 --> 00:46:01.519 Because I think they don't. You almost wish that if your heirs off, 646 00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:05.800 almost wished they were flipped because if you're like, Washington State is a more 647 00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:08.280 winnable game, if that's on the road. Yeah, right, if a 648 00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:13.920 Washington State game is here, I'm calling that a win. Well, yeah, 649 00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.599 but you did that last year too, I know, and that was 650 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:20.559 that was a disaster like raft. That was a disaster game. And I 651 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.880 think that could happen again. But again Oregon Stakes but down here and that 652 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.679 could be a game they'd say you shouldn't win, but then you do. 653 00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.400 Yeah, everyone's always good for one of those fronts because they're also good for 654 00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:36.280 the other way. We're also good for that. And things are going well 655 00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:38.039 for those guys. Their coach is doing a good job. You know, 656 00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:42.280 if they're playing for a bowl game. Who knows if if if I were 657 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.719 to bet it now, well, i'd say plus five and a half, 658 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:47.599 I mean i'd go over, you'd go over on the I'd go yeah, 659 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:51.519 because the issue game is going to be a pivotal game. That could be 660 00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:53.519 the winner. And I agree with Jake, maybe for the first time that 661 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:57.159 they can and they could get to a bowl game and who knows they played 662 00:46:57.159 --> 00:46:59.679 who who they played in them whatever, No, you're you're six and six. 663 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:01.760 You you know you might have a game against a group of five games. 664 00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.800 You go beat those guys. And now you got seven, so it's 665 00:47:07.840 --> 00:47:12.280 too it's doable. It's hard, especially when you realize how good, um, 666 00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.480 you know, how good Utah is gonna be, how good USC is 667 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:22.159 gonna be, how good Washington, Utah, USC, Washington and Oregon are 668 00:47:22.239 --> 00:47:24.400 four longs. Yeah, so unless they're way something stupid and win one above. 669 00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:29.320 Well, I say this to you, Oregon State, they're not Oregon 670 00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:32.000 State in Arizona are not equal. Bro' don't know what I'm saying is both 671 00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:36.159 those four games are to me, the games that I see is unwinnable games. 672 00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:38.800 R you market today, you mark those down as lost? Yes, 673 00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:45.880 right now? You lean loss or Oregon State, right, you lean loss 674 00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:50.199 or Washington State because it's at Washington State and what are you then? And 675 00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:52.920 Ucla just because they're UCLA and is a bunch of wheenie. I think you 676 00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:58.239 can beat them here? Okay, okay, but but realistic good it's it's 677 00:47:58.320 --> 00:48:02.039 probably sixty forty yeah, sixty yeah. I put Ucla in the same spot 678 00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:06.880 as I would put Oregon State right a game that you probably should lose, 679 00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.840 but maybe you can win. And plus those two games are I'd like to 680 00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:14.400 think that they can win one of those two games at home and then if 681 00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:17.639 you go be Washington stayed up there. Now you're talking possibly getting too seven. 682 00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:22.320 Yeah, yeah, I think it's easier said than done against Washington State 683 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:27.920 given the circumstances. Always raft up there, rainy, it's cold, you 684 00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:30.519 know, if Arizona throws the ball around a lot, it's you know, 685 00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:31.960 it might be a tough place to win. But they've also gone up to 686 00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:35.800 Washington State and win some games that you didn't think that they were gonna win. 687 00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:39.960 Uh, you know, by November eleven when they faced Colorado, it's 688 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:44.920 Colorado kind of go where's that? As it's that Colorado who's gonna be cold? 689 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:47.760 If not is gonna be cold? By that time, you'll know who 690 00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:52.039 they're if they're doing a good job coaching. Is that when they start to 691 00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:53.760 get better right in Arizona, come and say, hey we can beat the 692 00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:58.920 Arizona because they're gonna feel that way now they're gonna have now they got Utah 693 00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:04.400 here right. So again, you know those are chances for upsets. You 694 00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:08.719 see what happens. But um, I don't know, as you again, 695 00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.960 you never know, you never you never put that in the win column. 696 00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:15.000 But I don't you win on that one. Yeah, yeah, they're gonna 697 00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:17.079 have some growing things. I think they're gonna go through what ares and I 698 00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:21.039 did not so much the first year. Right there, Jed Mary's is gonna 699 00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:22.360 got on a hundred times better quarterbacks than they're gonna happen. Yeah, No, 700 00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:25.440 they're they're He's gonna have a lot of rebuilding to Yah. Yeah, 701 00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:31.199 he's got a waste up. But I still think they'll they'll be You never 702 00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:34.400 know, You've seen it a thousand times. I've seen it a half a 703 00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.800 dozen times where you don't know the winner, the predictive winner never ones that 704 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:42.480 game, you know, go to Mississippi State when when that game come back 705 00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:44.639 to three? Yeah, who don't speak three and all? And now kind 706 00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:46.400 of like okay, let's go. Yeah you know, but if they don't 707 00:49:46.440 --> 00:49:50.760 play well in that game, you're gonna think, oh no, right, 708 00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:53.599 Yeah, But I think this is different, even me, mister negative, 709 00:49:53.880 --> 00:50:00.679 I think Jed has something. I really do because because the talents much improved. 710 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:02.960 Right. But I've always said to just a country, that's myself here, 711 00:50:04.239 --> 00:50:07.239 um that everyone's getting better too, right. But but I know what 712 00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:10.280 I know, I know what I see. Yeah, and Ed's Jed's doing 713 00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:15.599 a very good job unlike other coaches, at least seeing the last few years. 714 00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:19.199 He cares and he's got people, and you know it's a players just 715 00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.480 look difference as they never looked at Arizon. No. No, yeah, 716 00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:27.880 I mean, I tell us Farry about I went to the the ninety eight 717 00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:31.800 the first BCS game was it was it the Festball Tennessee in Florida state h 718 00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:37.239 And I had pretty good I was on Festball committees. I had pretty decent 719 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.920 seat, and I was staying behind the Tennessee bet so you can see. 720 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:44.840 And I looked looking at their players. Yeah, one specific player he was 721 00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:46.360 like, he was a linebackers. And I looked at this guy and I 722 00:50:46.440 --> 00:50:50.119 said, first of all, that guy can't be twenty one years if any 723 00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:52.599 one twenty two years old. Secondly, Arizona has never had a guy no 724 00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.800 knowing like that ever ever after know, well, let me tell you San 725 00:50:55.840 --> 00:50:59.800 Diego, or went to San Diego and they played the Nebraska. Yeah, 726 00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:06.039 donhimasue DONI however's history Dominican sus Domican sue. He destroyed Arizona by himself right 727 00:51:06.360 --> 00:51:08.400 by, and you didn't see guys like him. Yeah, I'm not appealed 728 00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:14.840 on theriz little slide, and then and then the kid justin flow he locked 729 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:19.599 into that press right else said, I'm like the Arizona has never had one 730 00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:22.559 of those. No, very impressive even just how he fundled himself. Yeah, 731 00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:27.760 and then how he answered the questions to me where I can't remember reminiscent 732 00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:30.800 of somebody, but obviously he came in. I could only dream to look 733 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:36.199 like that. I can't even you could never put my head on top of 734 00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:39.280 that body. And they haven't look right ever. So so I saw that 735 00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:44.880 kind I thought, there's there's there's something going on here that's different from whatever 736 00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:51.039 has gone on in no question, which is very encouraging for jed Um and 737 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.679 the program. You know, how else do you explain there? Yeah, 738 00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:59.519 because it's hey, even me, mister Mikey doesn't like you. It's not 739 00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:02.119 only the they're getting the players, but then what they're dooining with them when 740 00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:06.639 they get you. Yeah. Right, there's an attitude, there's a few 741 00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:09.119 working hard, the hard work that they're putting in here, you know, 742 00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:13.159 all of those things. I mean, it just seems like it's all adding 743 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:17.000 up to something that you think might be pretty good once Heason gets so we'll 744 00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:20.239 see what he looks like. Hey, once it does get coming, a 745 00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:22.239 good shows mine. It's the two goodest that we lost exactly for. Yeah, 746 00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:24.480 we're gonna try and get those two minutes back at the top and at 747 00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:28.519 the top of the show. Justice appreciate it. Thank you as always, 748 00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:30.400 and we love having Big Game doing around. We'll get him out again during 749 00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:34.039 the season.
