Hey, good afternoon, everybody. Welcome

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.519
to I on the Ball here on
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Seve Riverta,

5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.199
He's Jay goon Zawas got our guy
sit in working the boards today on

6
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.960
a Friday, Big show today,
A nice show today. Linebacker you linebacker

7
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.039
you man. You know two of
the really good ones over the particularly in

8
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.759
the two thousands. Scooby right,
Yeah, we've been trying to get for

9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.960
a while, just this just hasn't
worked out. But he's here as an

10
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.759
honorary captain tomorrow. All the there's
like more than two hundred alumni who are

11
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:51.359
here for homecoming. And with Brandon
Sanders help who's been always a great help

12
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.679
to the show, has been on
the show a few times. He got

13
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.000
he lined up Scooby right. First, we're gonna get Scooby at three fifteen,

14
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.759
and it'll be at three fifteen,
so be sure to to with that.

15
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.079
Yeah, yeah, good to talk
to him, and of course we

16
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.239
have I guess Jake was right before
him. Right, Well, they played

17
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:07.719
side by side for a couple of
years, so a couple of years,

18
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.439
yeah, but particularly the twenty thirteen
year that you know they were both they

19
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.400
were both starting, it was,
and so they played side by side in

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.599
that twenty thirteen season that was Jake's
last season. Tell Jake that he's following

21
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:25.840
Scooby, well, who followed who? You know? Did be interesting to

22
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:29.000
find out what that relationship with him
about that? Yeah, that'll be good.

23
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.359
But yeah, so Jake Fisher at
about four twenty, so we'll have

24
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.760
these two linebackers from the from the
rich Rod era. But Jake also played

25
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.840
for Mike Stewdents. Yeah. So
we got about twenty eight hours before the

26
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.920
big game on Saturday night, not
sold out, but could get there.

27
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.560
I mean, Tucson is a you
know, what are you doing? I

28
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.200
don't know, what do you want
to do? Let's go a game?

29
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.280
Okay, let's go. Yeah,
you know you can you can tell on

30
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.480
this one. Jed's not happy.
He's like, you know, how is

31
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.239
it possible that we can't sell this
game? Did anybody not tell him it's

32
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:00.599
Tucson? I I don't go up
and talk to him after the press conference,

33
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.079
but I do want to go up
to him say, Ed, this

34
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.760
is too soon, this is Tucson. Yeah, welcome. Well, you

35
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:07.560
just got to win a little bit
more of the exacta win a little bit

36
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:09.960
more and then people will well,
you know you got you gotta have.

37
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.800
There was a lot of unknown going
into this season. People thought they would

38
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.599
be better, but still not you
know, uh, you know, a

39
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.039
contender for the championship or whatever.
So they're still kind of waiting. I

40
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:24.479
think, you know, if they
finish the season out and you know,

41
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.840
in a good way, win a
couple more games down the road, beat

42
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:32.680
as uh, let's say they're eight
and four with a Bowl game, people

43
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.599
will be fired up because you know
everybody's coming back, and they'll they'll be

44
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:38.919
fired up for next year. There'll
be some buzz I guarantee you this,

45
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.199
Jay if they do. And I
don't, I don't want to be premature

46
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.879
with this or speculate whatever, but
I will. Uh. If they win

47
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.879
and they get to the Sun Bowl, a few people will go right spend

48
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.039
the day. Yeah, if they
go to Vegas, a lot of people

49
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.199
will a lot of people will go
a lot of people will go because well

50
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.240
it's and you know, and and
and John Wilner, who yesterday told us

51
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.039
he's got them got Arizona Day and
the holiday bol people go to that.

52
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.599
Yeah, people will go to that. That's a solid Bowl game is game?

53
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.719
Yeah he would if he goes there. Jed's coach of the year.

54
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.240
I said, we said this a
little yesterday. You did. Yeah that

55
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.199
if he wins even more, I
mean, come on, I mean the

56
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.960
Oregon Oregon coach has done a great
job. But that's kind of expected.

57
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.360
I'm not skeptical of the guys who
vote for that stuff because they always vote

58
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.759
for the winner, you know,
the winner the record, unless unless unless

59
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.479
it's loot because then they say,
well you should have won. So I'm

60
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.919
not voting for you for coach of
the year, right, remember all that?

61
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.199
Yeah, how many times you should
have won that? Sure? Sure?

62
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:32.960
Okay, no, so good.
We'll talk about that most of the

63
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.520
day. Anybody wants to call,
they can to four one, six,

64
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.000
seventy four forty. Sid's the one
to blame if he misses a call,

65
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.319
exactly so. But should be a
good game tomorrow, should be a lot

66
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.719
of fun. I don't have a
feel for this one, Steve, I

67
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:53.639
know if you neither do I neither
do I I don't know, because if

68
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.639
I would, I would go Arizona, But I don't believe that, So

69
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.840
I don't know. Yeah, again
that that that the Arizona piece of my

70
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.719
heart says. You know, this
is a game that Arizona does win because

71
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.840
you've raised all these expectations. You've
beaten, you know, two ranked teams

72
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.280
in a row. You beat a
really good Oregon State team last week.

73
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:15.919
U c LA comes in here.
They don't have a great offense, but

74
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.000
so I feel like you should be
able to handle that. But somehow you

75
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.519
cl'll do something to you know,
to come in and win this game.

76
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.800
It's just my my negative vibes kind
of taking over for me right now.

77
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.439
So we'll see what happens. But
I do expect to win there, to

78
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:30.879
see a really good game. I
think it's gonna be defensive game last week,

79
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.199
very similar. I think, very
similar. No I totally agree with

80
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:39.920
you too, And we'll see that
the Noel will be the quarterback. You

81
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.600
know, it went it went kind
of crazy on Twitter with what he said.

82
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.360
I mean, he didn't say much, but he said a lot.

83
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:46.839
Yeah, with that, Well,
we'll let him know what seven thirty five.

84
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.160
Well, I kind of said that
this is a this is he's saying

85
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.920
that this is up in the air
whether it is or not. What air

86
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.240
is that just saying that, you
know, Yeah, but but you heard

87
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.720
you heard our buddy Tracy McDowell Yesterdy
who covers you La said they're preparing for

88
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:05.319
both. Yah, that's all the
tread wants. Yeah, true, true,

89
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.600
And come on, I've said this, they're kind of the same guys.

90
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:11.879
You kind of went a little bit
more, and I agree with you,

91
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.360
but it doesn't take away they're kind
of the same people, but not

92
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.839
they just got to play for the
run more. Well, they well say,

93
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:19.839
and that's the thing. You know, if if, if, if

94
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:24.279
no Fafita is in there, you're
not going to put a spy on him

95
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:28.480
to keep him from running because he
doesn't run that much and and and he's

96
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.319
not that fast. Whereas you know, you gottadjust if Jaden's in there,

97
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.839
because you know that you know if
there's an opening, he'll go, And

98
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:40.560
so that that piece of it makes
them work a little more than if it

99
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.319
was if they knew that Jayden,
I mean that no Fafida is going to

100
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.160
be the guy, you know,
all the way through the game. So

101
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.120
it just you know, I don't
know if you call it gamesmanship, you

102
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.079
know, you call a bunch of
things. But it's kind of like,

103
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.959
you know what, we're going to
keep him, keep them out on their

104
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.879
toes or you know, off balance
as much as we can. Okay,

105
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.240
I was talking about this with somebody
else. We were saying, how if

106
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.879
Arizona keeps winning with Noah, is
there going to be a point where he

107
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.399
kind of like it has to come
out Like we're going in to say,

108
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:13.279
we're going into ASKU and Noah has
started every game up to I mean,

109
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.959
we just make He's just not going
to declare it, right, right,

110
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.839
He's just not going to declare it. He's just gonna say, you know,

111
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.240
week to week, oh right,
right, so you won't have to

112
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:24.240
Yeah, yeah, he doesn't want
to. He doesn't have to. He

113
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.720
doesn't need to. Right, we're
the only ones who wanted yeah, right,

114
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.600
right, and well and the opposed
Well after the last game. After

115
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.279
last game, they asked him what
was your decision and picking Noah? And

116
00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.759
there was a second question. He
didn't answer the first question. He just

117
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.720
kind of you know, went into
the second maybe maybe they'll forget about the

118
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.399
first question. He didn't explain why
you did it, but he did it

119
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.319
and they did well. Yeah,
yeah, big shocker. But uh,

120
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.839
you know, so I'm we're the
only ones who want to know, so

121
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.759
I don't I don't expect him to
do anything as far as that goes.

122
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.360
There. There was a strange moment
though. I was near the sideline going

123
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.360
into Arizona's last drive where the school
went down score touchdown. Before that drive,

124
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.000
Jaden ran down, grabbed his helmet, put it on, gives one

125
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.399
a high five. So I was
thinking, you know, this is gonna

126
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:12.959
be a two quarterback like system here, right, But I guess I don't

127
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.360
know. I didn't notice that.
I didn't hear about that. Yeah,

128
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.439
so when was this? This was
last in the fourth quarter when they were

129
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:21.480
going into that last drive. I
saw Jaden on the sideline run, grab

130
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.319
his helmet, put it on,
give someone a high five, and run

131
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.720
back to near Jed. So we
were thinking maybe there's a play where there

132
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.000
might have been a play that they
were right, right, So I don't

133
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.480
know, I wasn't sure, but
it ended up not needing it. Yeah,

134
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.120
sure, why would you do that
because there's a possibility of getting hurt

135
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.120
again or whatever. Because you have
the running backs to pull this off.

136
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.360
Yeah, I mean your question to
him, you're just trying to run some

137
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.160
trick thing and you know he's not
going to do anything that's going to put

138
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.480
him in a situation where you could
get it right. That's why you have

139
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.920
the running backs to do what they
do. Just give it to Jonah,

140
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.120
baby, that was the key.
I think that last drive, the overall

141
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.160
play calling, milking the clock,
scoring, I think that that was huge.

142
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.000
So we'll see how Jonah Coleman has
emerged this year. So he's been

143
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.519
really good. You see that stat
that he's got the highest what highest rating

144
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.079
in the yeah, in the uh
that overall rating that they do, he's

145
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.240
the top rated running back in the
country. Those broken tackles definitely do something.

146
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.680
Efficiency Man in efficiency, Yeah,
I mean, he is so hard

147
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.800
to tackle. I've I've seen pieces
of the of the Oregon State game a

148
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.439
couple of times since then on that
PAC twelve, you know, in sixty

149
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.959
and you know, particularly that last
drive where he was just crushing people.

150
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:31.919
He and DJ Williams were just killing
Well that's That's what sold me. And

151
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:35.840
this was my last game. It
was the Washington State game when they were

152
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.840
tighter or whatever. It was early
on and they just gave him the ball.

153
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.159
Yeah, and he ran and he
couldn't stop him, and then he

154
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.080
ran. I'm thinking, this has
got like an ob human bulling ball.

155
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.399
He just can't stop him because he's
running like kadeemed and downhill yea and hard.

156
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.080
You got to figure that's going to
be a huge key this week because

157
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.639
you know, everything you hear about
about UCLA is their edge rushers and they

158
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.559
make it hard for you to throw
the ball. Well, then guess what

159
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.080
if if it's going to be hard
to throw the ball, they're going to

160
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.919
want to run it with a bunch
of different dudes. With a bunch of

161
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.679
different dudes. Yeah, and they
got four guys who can do it.

162
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.600
They can put Michael Wiley out there
and you don't know if she's gonna run

163
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.320
or they're gonna throw them a little
dink pass or whatever. So we have

164
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.320
a couple of minutes. So I'm
gonna put a gun to your head.

165
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.919
There's no bullets though, Okay,
what are you gonna do? What would

166
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.799
you do? Pick the pick them. Oh, if I had to pick

167
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.519
them, I pick them. I
picked Arizona. But that's part, a

168
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.320
big part of that is my heart, not my head. We know where

169
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:28.559
you go where you go with my
head says that again, this is a

170
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.159
very hard game for Arizona. And
you know what, even even the years

171
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:39.360
of Arizona's been really like okay,
ninety three and ninety eight, two best

172
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.879
teams. Yeah, both of those
teams lost to UCLA. Well there's your

173
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:46.080
trend. There's your two trend.
Right, it's just ucl You know,

174
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.879
we talked about USC and and yeah, yeah, and and and Arizona has

175
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.639
had a good, good record against
u c l A here, but somebody,

176
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.120
you see LA, you think of
them less than you see a USC.

177
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.320
Yeah. I feel like they have
a harder time beating beating you know,

178
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.240
U c l A. Because you
feel like there's times that you should

179
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.159
beat them and you don't. Yeah, right, Well, what what do

180
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.840
you got? If I were to
have to pick the winner, I would

181
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.039
say Arizona. I feel I don't
know, I feel more confident in this

182
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.240
game than the Organ State game.
But the only thing is that we're coming

183
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.240
off the win. Yeah, right, No, you think like I do,

184
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.919
which which is good, don't It's
scary that they're coming off the win

185
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.879
if this was any other part of
the year. But they were coming off

186
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.000
and win over over Washington State,
the win where they look really damn good

187
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.480
and could have easily right, but
that was but that was because they were

188
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.240
impressive and stuff like that. I'm
gonna go with your trend now that you

189
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.600
and I didn't know this trend,
with your history. I'm gonna go Ucla

190
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.360
because of that. How Ucla finds
a way to give them fits even when

191
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.039
they're at there, even when they're
right right. And I don't really feel

192
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.039
great about that pick. I'm not
picking it with us. But a lot

193
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.879
of times you know that Arizona's beating
Ucla, they come out of I don't

194
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.840
know where to do right from that
fifty two to seven game you know under

195
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.320
Mike Steeps where Ucla came in undefeated. Well, I'll give you the an

196
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.080
eighty nine game when you were both
covering the team and the eyebone right forty

197
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.919
two again, a forty two to
seven game. There was the game.

198
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:18.960
It was it was uh the year
that Steeps got fired and and Tim Kish

199
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.159
was the well was the head coach
his first game and they beat That was

200
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.039
the game that the that the streaker
came on the field and took the ball

201
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.200
and then the brawl started. And
there's one beat that those those wins came

202
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.639
out of nowhere. But you know
when when Arizona's got their full attention,

203
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.799
that's where U. C. L
A Is. Hey, we're gonna go.

Arizona teams have not been able to

298
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.400
beat UCLA when other teams have been. What what don't you think of UCLA?

299
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.599
What do you think of I don't
know. I think when I think

300
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:26.400
of the Ucla Arizona matchups, I
feel like for Arizona to win those games.

301
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.759
I feel like that will just lift
us that much more. And those

302
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.839
are important games for us to elevate
Arizona football to the place that we want

303
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:36.759
to be. So if we want
to be a big time program, you

304
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.079
got to play big and big time
games. Well, he talked about that,

305
00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:44.519
they're they're not They're not USC,
right, everyone has this about USC,

306
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.680
But they're on near that level of
USC. So if you guys win

307
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.839
one of those, you guys kind
of start seeing the ladder go up or

308
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.799
you move up the ladder. Yeah, that's the most part. But USC

309
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.119
they're not playing too well idea right
now, they're kind of they're kind of

310
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:04.960
playing up uphill battle. You see
what I was playing good? So I

311
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:10.599
feel like for Arizona football, just
that southern California territory and just getting the

312
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.440
reputation of winning in those areas.
It's very very big to the program.

313
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.519
So you know, you're back here
obviously, and you've come back quite a

314
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.200
bit and been a part of some
of these things. But you know,

315
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.000
think back to your you know,
to your time at Arizona. What you

316
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:26.880
know, what when you think about
Arizona and your your time here, what

317
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.839
do you think about you know,
do you think about the guys. You

318
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.759
think about the games, you think
about you know, you had a couple

319
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.279
of Bowl games. You think about
the twenty fourteen season, that was a

320
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.559
great season. What comes to what
first comes to your mind when you think

321
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:44.279
of your time at Arizona. For
me personally, Arizona was very near,

322
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.640
dear to my heart, very important
to me. It was the only school

323
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.799
that give me an opportunity. So
I took that opposity in our am with

324
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:53.480
it. And probably just the dog
days of the summer, to be honest,

325
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.559
is just grinding with the teammates,
just seeing all those old faces and

326
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.559
you don't see your teammates for a
few years, but you see each other

327
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.319
still the same. And I feel
like that's that's true cammaderie as a team,

328
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.240
and that's what you try to build. You obviously are a guy who

329
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.400
bet on himself and did very well
with it. At what point when you

330
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.880
got here? At what point did
you get here? When you got here,

331
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.400
did you say, Okay, I
can do this, and I can

332
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.400
do it very well. Probably not
to sound cocky or anything, but probably

333
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.839
before we even stepped onto the field, there's in the weight room and in

334
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.960
the summer, during the strength and
conditioning workouts because and I feel like there

335
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.400
was a handful of us that we're
in that freshman classes and Maji Grants and

336
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:36.359
Nate to Left. Yeah, that
were that we're really trying to make impact

337
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:38.480
early on. So we all push
each other very hard early on. Even

338
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.200
those names, remember, because those
guys played, I mean you guys played

339
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.519
right away. Yeah, I know
we were Me, Nate, Samaji,

340
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:52.160
Devin Holiday. I think we were
like before, four freshmen who started right.

341
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.680
Okay, So this week, I'm
gonna bring you back to probably one

342
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.240
of the great ones that we saw
it as on the stadium. This is

343
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.200
a white out. You were part
of the white out in twenty fourteen.

344
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.240
The Hail Mary uh hail Mary passed. That game was just an awful game

345
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:11.680
up until up until that fourth quarter
in the Cal game. Walk us through

346
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.960
a little bit of that game,
I mean the ups and downs of that

347
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.519
game and how stunned you were when
when you know, when what happened happened.

348
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.759
Yeah, I just remember coach ks
our defensive coordinator, linebacker coach he

349
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.599
was as mad that we were just
getting beatles the top all night. So,

350
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.119
uh yeah, it was that was
a great That was a crazy game.

351
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.599
I remember, I didn't I didn't
even look. I don't even remember

352
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:36.680
watching the game. I remember watching
the last the last couple of minutes of

353
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:38.799
the place, and I was I
was so nervous and so in tuned of

354
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:44.079
I was trying to get through it. Yeah, right, No, that

355
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:45.720
was the Hill, Mary, The
Hill, Mary Hill Mary. So do

356
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.359
you you had like a thousand plays
that you can probably reminisce and say that

357
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:55.359
was a great one. Were you
your two favorite ones? My two favorite

358
00:21:55.400 --> 00:22:04.519
players probably m M damn close.
Uh, I'd probably say my Mariota strip.

359
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:15.119
That's probably wasn't it. Yeah,
that was? And then probably I'll

360
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.599
go with my freshman year the Marriotta
interception. I probably should have got a

361
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.720
touchdown on that play, But that
was that was cool. But the one

362
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:25.920
where the you tossed the ball back
where the ball got tossed back in,

363
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.920
Yeah, yeah, that one that
was here. Yeah, No, it

364
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:33.880
was something he caught You caught the
ball right yeah, Jack Richard and threw

365
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.279
it back into me. Dude.
That started the whole thing, that started

366
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.400
the chain and reaction to win that
game. Let's go back. Let's go

367
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.640
back to that with Scooby because I
remember, you know, sitting in the

368
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.240
seats for that game and thinking,
even when you guys were up pretty big,

369
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.640
you know, we thought, you
know, we thought so much of

370
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.839
Oregon that we thought all you guys
had done was pissed them off and that

371
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.319
at some point they were gonna come
back at you and you you guys just

372
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.839
never did let them do that.
You know, how did you How do

373
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.240
you feel you guys put that stranglehold
on those guys? I would say it

374
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:06.440
is because Arizona or excuse me,
Oregon was still high tempo at that time,

375
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.000
and a lot of teams didn't know
how to react and didn't know how

376
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.000
to handle that situation. But Coach
Rod, if you guys did a great

377
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:17.480
job of us of being comfortable being
uncomfortable, so we were able to stay

378
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.680
boys and keep up with those tempos
and hang in there and really just stay

379
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:23.880
composed. And I feel like that
that's what really helped us in those games

380
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.400
with Oregon, because that was kind
of our that's why they try to beat

381
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.640
people, and we were able to
hang up with him. So, so

382
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.799
you bring his name up, and
we've had him on the show a few

383
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:36.319
times. We love Coach Rich Rod
because he's you know, he's coach rich

384
00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:41.000
Rod. Did he leave you guys
alone on the defensive end or did he

385
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.200
get on you guys too? Yeah? He got honest a lot. I

386
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.279
mean there was more so when the
offense one wasn't doing good in practice and

387
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.559
the defense was, he would always
make a point so get mad at the

388
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.799
defense and the offense I know they
weren't doing good. There was kind of

389
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.440
a double sword as a defensive player. He kind of laugh and you'd be

390
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.079
like, how coach get pissed,
but at the same time granting the running

391
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.039
So right, no, I know
it's in fact, did you see the

392
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.359
Mississippi State game with Delora? I
actually I'm not gonna said, but you

393
00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.079
know what happened right with all the
interceptions and stuff, and we actually got

394
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.480
what would rich Rod do to Delora? Holy molly? Oh yeah, I

395
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.440
mean he would Yeah, I don't
even know. Yeah, you're right,

396
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.039
no kidding, but yeah, so
you know again, you know, those

397
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.799
those couple of years were just really
stood out. You guys went to another

398
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.039
Bowl game in twenty fifteen, but
you know, you guys were there in

399
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.240
a stretch. I mean you you
guys, I think, well, you

400
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:38.559
went to a bowl game every year, right that you were here? Yeah,

401
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:41.839
no, the the year before me. In the years I was there,

402
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.759
those were the only years in Arizona
history they went back to back to

403
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:49.440
back to back bowl games in the
school's history. And natively, I take

404
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.880
great pidon. I don't know,
I don't know if that's something whatever or

405
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.240
whatever, but well, from a
culture standpoint, that I was able to

406
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:57.960
be part of that and the most
winning part of Arizona history is pretty cool.

407
00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.960
On a weekend this Do you poke
the guys with that and say,

408
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.119
hey, dude, I know I
went to a bowl game every year?

409
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.279
How about you guys? Yeah?
I mean, I think it just coming

410
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:10.680
back to having a standard and having
the goals you want to meet, and

411
00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.400
having the things you want to do, and just trying to strive for the

412
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:17.720
goals day in and day out,
right, right. I always thought that,

413
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.880
Uh, after that twenty fourteen rich
Rod had something there, He had

414
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.680
something there. He could have built
off that. But it didn't happen.

415
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.799
What do you think happened? We
had a lot of injuries. I got

416
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:33.240
injured, and uh yeah, right, there's not just not just I got

417
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.079
injured, but there if we had
a lot of injuries and stuff and an

418
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:37.960
offense and they just didn't pan out
the way it's supposed to it. But

419
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:42.960
it Uh yeah, well tell you. Let's talk a little bit about your

420
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:45.960
pro career. You still playing football. You've You've had you know, been

421
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:48.599
around, won some championships and stuff
like that. You know, how's that

422
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.279
been for you? I mean,
you still having a lot of fun doing

423
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:55.599
that and uh, you know,
I mean, is it has it been

424
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.880
fulfilling for you to be able to
do all that? Yeah? I mean

425
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.240
I wish I had one more time
in NFL and I was able to play

426
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.000
at the highest level. But uh, in his day, I'm a football

427
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.240
player and I love playing the game. I love competing and yeah, that's

428
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.880
just what I love to do.
So I'm gonna keep playing, keep doing

429
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.160
it for as long as I can. That's what makes you. I think,

430
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:15.440
that's what makes you who you are. Did you you looked into the

431
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.720
UFC? What what are you doing? Mm me? Yeah, he was.

done playing football, whenever I officially
decide hanging up, I'm gonna be in

who led them, competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters

532
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.400
plays that he talked about, it's
two favorite plays, right that pick that

533
00:32:57.519 --> 00:33:00.359
started the organ and then the strip. You know, the next year,

534
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.720
you know, Mark arguably to the
biggest players in Arizona football history. Really

535
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:09.200
yeah, really, certainly the certainly
the one against Oregon up there right where

536
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:14.200
he stripped Mariota of the of the
ball and that really won that game.

537
00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:16.279
And that pretty much you know,
you can say put Arizona in the Pac

538
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:20.640
twelve champions in the first meeting,
the second meeting, second the game up

539
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:23.640
there. It was a Thursday night
game up there in October one. Mariota

540
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:29.960
won the Heisman that year they beat
Oregon up there. Yeah, and so

541
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.119
that one and then you know again
that that twenty thirteen game, you know,

542
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:36.119
or I think Oregon was in here
number two team that year as well.

543
00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:38.559
It was a gloomy, gloomy I
mean they were like there were like

544
00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:43.240
twenty thousand people when the game started, Yeah, and there were forty by

545
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.240
the time it ended. They had
to celebrate because the weather came out and

546
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.880
the sun came out and people started
coming back. Right, we have a

547
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:55.880
collar. You're on the r and
I on the ball. Hey, guys

548
00:33:57.319 --> 00:34:00.000
on back. What's up? Man? Where are you roll up your windows

549
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.039
or something? You at the airport? Right? I'm sorry, I'm actually

550
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.000
on my way to Los Angeles.
You're going the wrong way. UCLA is

551
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:12.440
coming here. What are you doing? Yeah? Well, I told you

552
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.239
my little cousin plays for you and
LV and it's her first game and I've

553
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:21.920
never missed their playing Loyola Mary Mott, so I'm gonna surprise her and be

554
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:27.119
at her game. She's listening right
now, so there's no surprise. Hey,

555
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.159
I just wanted to tell you,
guys and Steve, I know you

556
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:36.280
hate recruiting, but last Sunday I
got a chance to go left Safita Noah's

557
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:42.760
dad. He runs a traveling football
team called the Orange County or Juice County

558
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:49.880
Buck guys. And if you and
the guys would have seen this, the

559
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:55.480
itess was amazing. The line on
these guys were six three, two fifty

560
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:02.840
across the board for eighth graders.
Eighth graders that they played a team from

561
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.079
Las Vegas, and Vegas had a
kid Jay that if you lined him up,

562
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:13.599
he would run a four four three
forty. Wow. What do they

563
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.039
do? Where do they invent these
kids? These kids from. Was there

564
00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:22.880
like a lab somewhere or what it
ha to be? The ichs was amazing.

565
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:28.280
Both quarterbacks were just phenomenal. They
could throw the ball. It wasn't

566
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:32.679
your typical Pop Warner Junior All American
where they lost a duck. These guys

567
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:38.320
were throwing shoebes darts forty yards downfield. So are you coming back tonight tomorrow?

568
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:45.320
No, the game is actually on
Monday. I'm I'm gonna miss the

569
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:47.679
football game, but I get to
watch it with all my uk la.

570
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:51.480
Man. I was just gonna say, you mean almost gonna be saved from

571
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:54.440
tomorrow night's game from all the comments
on my on my social post. No

572
00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:00.079
fact that there'll probably be more Steve
because I'm not gonna be there at the

573
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:05.599
age Jay. All I get throughout
the game is Vick telling me this and

574
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:09.440
Mick telling me this, big dude
a break. Well, I don't see

575
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:15.000
that because where I said, we
got no internet and no no cell service.

576
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:17.280
You're hooked up up there, but
I don't get to see you.

577
00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:22.000
I wanted to tell you about the
buck Eyes, and then I wanted to

578
00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.880
tell you that they better be good
to know, uh, because last has

579
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:30.320
a pipeline of those kids from modern
day and Bosco coming to Arizona. He

580
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:31.599
told me, well, you figure, you know, with with you know

581
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:37.159
no and Team AC and those guys
keep doing well here. That's a pipeline

582
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.519
that I'm sure Jed Fish would love
to keep open. Oh my god.

583
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:44.280
Yes, and then, uh,
real quick, I'll get off. My

584
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:49.599
pick is seventeen cats. Okay,
that's what I think. That's a popular

585
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:52.920
pick. Smart something. It's gonna
be. The score is gonna be something

586
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.559
like that, just you know who
wins the game. I agree with you,

587
00:36:55.679 --> 00:36:58.760
Vic, I think it's gonna be
a low scoring game. So are

588
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:02.159
you happier these days and back in
the day like a month ago? No,

589
00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:06.239
man, I mean I am on
pins and needles all week waiting for

590
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:10.440
Saturday. We'll be safe on the
trip going and coming back. Okay,

591
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:15.639
thank you guys. You guys take
care all right. Man. Vi Vic

592
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:17.519
knows football because he knows the people
involved. Well, you know when when

593
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.119
you say he's he's buddies with those
you know, with the Fa Fa family,

594
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:27.400
he's you know again, that's the
kind of thing that that a program

595
00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:30.480
needs to have, right, the
pipeline. Pipeline like that. You know,

596
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:32.239
that's always been the thing of you
know, some of these the Phoenix

597
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:36.760
schools when they were feeding into a
su not so much anymore. But you

598
00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:39.719
get hooked up with one of those
schools that's constantly you know, producing D

599
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:44.079
one players. You keep that going
right, you keep them coming sure and

600
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:46.679
keeping them happy. Right, we
have a collar high. You're on the

601
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:57.360
air and on the ball. Is
this Jim? Jim? How you doing,

602
00:37:57.440 --> 00:38:02.960
Jim? What's up? I'm doing
well. I just I sent Steve

603
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:13.519
a text and I said, twenty
four seventeen Arizona wins. It is twenty

604
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:17.320
minutes plus. So remember you're the
one, You're the ones that said you

605
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.719
think the Lord gives them a better
chance? Yeah, and why do you

606
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:27.679
think. Here's why. There's a
couple couple of scenarios that could play out,

607
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:32.559
but there were more, and in
none of those scenarios do I believe

608
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:40.639
for Peter is as fleet of foot
and the same type of playmaker that DELRII

609
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:46.119
is right, and that doesn't make
that doesn't make him a lesser quarterback and

610
00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:52.239
just style of play right, And
what I'm getting at is this defense.

611
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:57.760
I watched them make children out of
Colorado. I mean, they beat them

612
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:06.519
up, and so I think the
Laura presents a whole new set of variables

613
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:13.000
that they have to contend with,
one of which is running their ass off.

614
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:16.039
So Jim, I think you're in
the win. So I think I

615
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:22.400
think I gave him for fee in
the first quarter. And you know,

616
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:27.239
if if we're not productive, I
make a move right, then you're in

617
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.000
the one. You're in the one
percenter. There's nobody thinking like you.

618
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:34.320
But you know, although Steve let
me, I'll play love Devil's Advocate there

619
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.119
with with you, because maybe that's
what Jed is doing, no, you

620
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.079
know, kind of keeping it open
that you know, you may see Jane

621
00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:45.679
de Lord just as a change of
pace, not necessarily just because Fafitte is

622
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:47.639
not doing well, because he may
need that. You know, he may

623
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:51.159
need, as Jim says, a
guy who can run around a little bit

624
00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:52.880
with the rush that they're gonna put
on you guys, are over there.

625
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:59.920
You guys are man, did you
guys go drinking before the show together?

626
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:07.239
You guys are overthinking this. Hey, that's the fact that that Jade Delora

627
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:14.800
presents a playmaking ability that's different than
for Feta is one hundred percent certainty,

628
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:17.599
well, without question, and you
have to live. So when you have

629
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:22.599
one hundred percent certainty, Steve,
if I've got a guy on the bench,

630
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.360
I can come in. I'm one
hundred percent sure he's got a base

631
00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:29.119
hit, and I gotta put him
in. You're not guaranteed one of the

632
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.719
base hits, and you're you're also
not guaranteed of an error or two.

633
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.800
No, no, no, that's
not what I'm saying. They're going too

634
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:44.840
far. I'm saying, there's one
hundred percent certainty. Does that the Lorna

635
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:49.000
presents a new set of variables through
the deep end. It doesn't mean that

636
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:54.000
it's gonna be good. That's my
point. I think I can't make that

637
00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:57.800
point. Then you see it happen. Well, I think it does the

638
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:02.159
job one way. I was about
to say, I might even give the

639
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.920
ball to feed again in the third
quarter. Yeah, that's that's things and

640
00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:14.440
things play out, you know,
get stagnant or we get stopped. Here

641
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:19.760
comes Gloria again. Yeah, that's
all I have. Alright, Man,

642
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:22.679
Thanks about Jim. I want to
go. I want to go to the

643
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.800
youngest guy in the room. And
what do you think about that? Son?

644
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.719
I? I just don't. I
just don't see it. I just

645
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:32.880
aren't. We aren't, Jay,
don't. We We live our life to

646
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:37.840
be stable. Look for some stability
that's not stability, but that's not but

647
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:44.199
also it might not be so unstable
that it can help you in a game.

648
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:45.519
I'm not saying that I think that's
gonna happen. I know what.

649
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:51.199
I'm just saying that Jed's gonna leave
things open to maybe if that, if

650
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.880
that's what's needed, He's gonna do
whatever they can win in the end.

651
00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:59.679
If he thinks he can win the
game with no fafiita and playing the whole

652
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:00.960
game, he'll do that. I
just got to text you about laughing at

653
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:05.719
your response because I kind of agree
with you. How much do I have

654
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:09.039
to drink to come and call on
the show on some color because someone just

655
00:42:09.159 --> 00:42:14.119
texted me, Man, No,
I get a gym. I get it.

656
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:16.599
You're trying to throw the curveball in
this fastball world, right, and

657
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:20.079
I get that in Jim. Jim's
the baseball guy. Yah. Yeah,

658
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.760
so he's trying to throw the curveball. They're not expecting this. He does

659
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:25.880
offer a little audity or whatever.
Totally get it right. But I just

660
00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:30.840
don't think it's stable enough for because
you allow a team that really supports fuffedo.

661
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:34.440
Right, Yes they're and they're playing
hard for him. Well why would

662
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.360
you throw do that? Why would
you do that? Yeah, And it

663
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.480
may be the only way he would
do it is if it's not going right,

664
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:43.519
and I don't the rush is too
much, if he is not handling

665
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:45.559
it, he can't get out of
the way whatever. And you think,

666
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:49.199
okay, we got to get a
guy in there who can move around.

667
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.400
It'll give us a little flexibility,
make a make a couple of plays,

668
00:42:52.440 --> 00:42:57.280
and that you would think that he's
it's it's okay, it's a thing in

669
00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.280
his pocket. You cook, You
cook, I don't cook. So you

670
00:43:00.400 --> 00:43:02.639
cook, and you put sometimes too
much ingredients and you say, what the

671
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.840
hell I did? Just put too
much? Demn fault exactly. And and

672
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:08.079
he might be a little bit too
much salt, right. I need the

673
00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:12.760
chef to come in and fix it
right right right? So no, I

674
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.440
agree, I don't expect that.
I really don't. I don't, but

675
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:21.199
uh, it would talk the hell
out of me. Ja de Laura got

676
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:24.320
a call coming in. You wouldn't. Hi, you're on the air and

677
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:28.960
I on the ball, Hey,
Jay, Steve Richard here here, Richard

678
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:34.760
would make a quick comment about the
quarterback question. Both of them are very

679
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.559
talented. Fafe, of course,
is playing marveslely. Uh. I think

680
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:43.639
the issue is which which quarterback does
the team respond better to? You know?

681
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.639
Uh, it makes him. It
makes a difference who the jockey is

682
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.519
when he's sitting on top of a
horse that's Kentucky Derby. So I think

683
00:43:50.599 --> 00:43:53.360
that's the issue here. I think
the team is is lighter and faster and

684
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:58.480
quicker with no Fafita a quarterback.
I agree, I agree. I think

685
00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:00.920
there's there's a hidden thing. And
you know this, Jay, I,

686
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.559
well hope you do. If you
have the guy who's playing really well,

687
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:07.280
they're going to support the hell out
of you. And it's and I said

688
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.920
this and against Sanford, didn't you
think you didn't agree with me? You

689
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:14.800
went to watch the game again that
they played harder and that is something there

690
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:17.199
there's a little more zip when when
came in right, and you kind of

691
00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:21.400
said, oh, but that's that's
how I think. Well, it certainly

692
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:22.840
has looked like that these last few
games, you know, you know,

693
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:27.320
I mean, you know, just
guys make him play right right, and

694
00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:30.599
and maybe it is and maybe it's
that whole Maybe it's that whole culture that

695
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:35.559
that that you know, Fafieda and
and and t mac and and Manu and

696
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.119
those guys have brought where they're like, okay, we're the survey guys,

697
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:43.079
you know, not only come from
one place. We're all pretty good.

698
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:45.119
Come with us, all right,
we're all pretty good. You know,

699
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:47.000
we want to we want to carry
this thing. And and it could be

700
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:51.400
something as simple as that, Well, he's a you know, he's a

701
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.159
great warrior. Both of them are
is a great warrior. And I'll tell

702
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:57.920
you what. She gets hot out
of the field. It's like he's a

703
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:01.360
flamethrower. I'm telling you, it's
just special. And so whatever, we'll

704
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:05.400
see what happens. One way to
go a big, big game of more

705
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:07.760
night. I think Arizon to win
this game tomorrow night. I think they've

706
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:13.400
got the physicality to do it.
So I think yeah, I agree with

707
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:15.320
you. And by the way,
Richard, I'm really pissed at your Oklahoma

708
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:21.000
sooner. I'm not just. I'm
not just. So you know, I

709
00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:23.360
told you guys the weather would be
a factor when you go to the Big

710
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:27.880
twelve. I don't know if you
saw what happened, but Oklahoma was driving

711
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.320
the battle of the second quarter.
Were started to dominate, and all of

712
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.760
a sudden, Kansas called a rain
delay or lightning. There was no lightning

713
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:43.280
anywhere. What a sham the Bible
bell, that's what's going to happen,

714
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:45.360
you guys. And uh, you
know, we got to the locker room

715
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.159
for an hour, then we come
back and go back to the locker room

716
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:53.480
again for halftime. Tornado. What
tornado? What a scam? Uh?

717
00:45:54.599 --> 00:46:00.280
So that loss gets an astreak on
it. Okay, Well here, when

718
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:04.039
we don't have the PAC twelve channel, I understand the Big twelve, it's

719
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:07.400
going to call to uh piggyback on
the Christian Broadcast Network. You get the

720
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:14.599
TV uh they put up They put
up a transmitter tower on the at Oral

721
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:17.400
Robertson University. It's on the prayer
tower, the prayer hand. We can

722
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:21.280
be on the b YU network.
If you ever saw that on your cable,

723
00:46:21.320 --> 00:46:24.719
there's a b YU network. Well
yeah, we'll be getting the farm

724
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:29.760
report, to the report and the
football games. All right, Richard,

725
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:31.920
I'm not touching. I'm not touching
the Sooners anymore. I'm they're they're dead

726
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:36.039
to me. We're coming back,
okay, all right, man, we'll

727
00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:43.800
see you. You're just it's not
this. You know when you break up

728
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:45.320
with a girlfriend and you say,
it's not about you, it's about me.

729
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:51.119
That's you. It's nothing about you. It's about me. This is

730
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:59.360
not about a home man that's so
terrible. Last week it was great for

731
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:01.880
me and he's Oklahoma fell way behind, remember, like, yeah, you

732
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:05.760
know in the first quarter, I
told you that I did that to you,

733
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:07.639
that they were dead to me.
Then they come back, they got

734
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:12.000
the lead, the kicking ass and
then rain delay and it's like, uh,

735
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.800
yes, how long have you been
with us? Uh? Since the

736
00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:21.199
end of last semester? Okay,
has this changed that all since you've been

737
00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:23.639
with us? It's consistent though,
right, Yeah. The amount of callers

738
00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:30.199
that are his bad picks, Oh
I don't. I don't think I was

739
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:35.000
here during football season, But consistent
enough. Yeah, it's Yeah, yeah,

740
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:37.920
it's it's been rough. Jay.
I'm sorry. This is all I

741
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:42.519
know. I wasn't here whenever you
want to, I don't care. So

742
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:45.440
this is this is all I know
is Jays went, Well, you owe

743
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:52.360
me for the wings and we'll talk
about that one where I let's take this.

744
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:58.800
You're on the air and I on
the ball. Hey hey, Bill,

745
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:01.159
what's up? I finished my glass
so I thought I could call in.

746
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:09.960
Now what are you drinking? Uh? It's clear and odorless. Okay,

747
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:15.440
so you qualify for being a caller. Yes. So I'm not an

748
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:17.760
offensive coordinator or a defensive coordinator,
but I play one in row sect in

749
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:23.280
section thirty two every week. I
think that the defense to UCLA is really

750
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:27.000
good, and I think their lines
really good. But I think our brain

751
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:30.880
trust is gonna come up with a
way to throw those quick outs to calling

752
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:34.760
and t Mac and they're gonna do
jet sweeps and they're gonna get speedy Luke

753
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.199
on the end, and they're gonna
open it up and spread it out and

754
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:38.599
be able to run up the middle
at some point in time. But I

755
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:43.400
think that they're not planning on Theefeeta
running. I think they're planning on them

756
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:46.039
distributing the ball right really quickly and
accurately. They're trying to run the ball.

757
00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:49.800
They're gonna try and run the ball. They're gonna you know, if

758
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:52.920
if again, as I said,
if the edge rushers are the problem,

759
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.280
then run it in between them.
Don't try and go around there trying to

760
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:59.440
run it in between them. I
think that, you know, I think

761
00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:01.440
the brain trust of the offense is
good enough to figure that out. And

762
00:49:01.519 --> 00:49:04.679
I think they're gonna They're gonna be
able to do it, just like they

763
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:07.760
have the last two weekends in a
rown. So do you think they're gonna

764
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.519
win? I want them to,
you know, I'm like Jay, It's

765
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:14.480
hard to me. I'm so biased. It's arged me to to say.

766
00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:16.760
I never feel confident. You know, I don't even feel confident when they

767
00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:22.000
scrimmage again against each other. I
affect a major injury or something. So,

768
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:24.360
I mean, I've been an Arizona
fan since I could walk, so

769
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:29.199
I've been disappointed many times. But
I want them to win, and they've

770
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.559
been you know, last week was
such a great game to watch because they

771
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:36.079
they played power classic football when they
had to. They got a defensive stop,

772
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:37.880
they got a punt they got a
good return and then they ran it

773
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:42.519
down their neck. It was fun
to watch, Yeah, it was,

774
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.599
It was and it was so fun
to watch. I've watched it like that

775
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:49.280
part of the game like three times
this week, well because it's just it

776
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:53.000
was so satisfying to see them.
They were losing and then they just made

777
00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:57.639
plays to win the game and then
didn't let Oregon State make plays to win

778
00:49:57.719 --> 00:49:59.840
the game. You know. I
know they had that drive at the end,

779
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:01.599
but how funny is it to watch
j Coleman run over people? And

780
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:08.320
that was that was so condemed Ferry, It was so connect Okay, so

781
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:10.679
thanks, I'm gonna pour another glass
and listen to the rest of the show.

782
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:13.480
All right, Bell, thanks about
you, man, I appreciate you

783
00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:16.039
being I know one guy who's not
pooring glass and I'll qualify this Jim Jim

784
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:20.440
does not drink. He's calling in
and I'm having fun. Yeah yeah,

785
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:23.360
so I mean you know that.
Yeah, But but Jim Jim's philosophy I

786
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:27.960
don't agree with. I don't maybe, but I don't know. I don't

787
00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:30.960
think so well again, I know
it was just little league that we coached,

788
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:35.440
but Jim, Jim's a very cerebral
guy on stuff like that. I

789
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:37.960
mean, you know, we were
always thinking our way through things with twelve

790
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:44.280
year olds. Did you overthink things
that time? No, not as far

791
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:51.079
as I'm concerned. I'll get not
as far as I'm concerned, because hey,

792
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:52.599
we want a championship, man,
we want a championship. How many

793
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:57.199
did you lose? No? No, we want We just coached together one

794
00:50:57.239 --> 00:51:00.960
year we won the league unexpectedly,
pissed off the rest of the league because

795
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:07.559
they thought we were hoodlums. Okay, let's let's take our break. He's

796
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:09.599
a bit of a hoodline. She
will be back with the breaking news from said
