I you know, we surely got to 9 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:43.679 be out there. I think I think for my service to the PAC twelve 10 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:52.399 over all these years, I deserve some Big twelve gear, just because what 11 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:54.759 do you mean, just all those years that I worked with the Pac twelve 12 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:59.479 tournament. I feel like, since it's moving on, that the Big twelve 13 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.439 should send me a golf shop. That doesn't work that way. I know 14 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.040 it doesn't work that way. It doesn't think it should, but it doesn't. 15 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.439 The Big You can get as much Pack twelve stuff as you want, 16 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.159 right, well, you have got.

It's gonna say, hey, mister Gonzalz, that 19 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:21.480 was your past. Your past is your past. You'd have to get over 20 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:30.120 it. Did you see that video that the uh what some random website that 21 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.319 that does SEC you know football like like you know, like some of the 22 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.920 ones they put out of the video, it's like a four minute video what 23 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.200 you know, and welcome the you know, welcoming Oklahoma and Texas to the 24 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.040 Big twelve. It's like a cafeteria scene, so all the all the all 25 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.840 the SEC teams are in are in the cafeteria sitting together. Yeah, and 26 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:55.200 then like the at the very beginning of it, the an Oklahoma guy sits 27 00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.640 next, he's gonna sit between sitting next to an Alabama guy, and the 28 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.840 Alabama guy pushes them away, you know, and then it's it's a pretty 29 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.719 it's a pretty funny. You'll find it on social media. You'll have to 30 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.760 you'll have to watch it. It's a it's like a four minute video. 31 00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.719 It's pretty cool. Well, it's it's the King and Clark. It's the 32 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.479 King and Clark. Truman yeah, you and new Kid. You ain't gonna 33 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.520 be part of them. That's how it starts out. And yeah, it 34 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.080 starts out with you know, some of them being pissed off that they're there, 35 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.680 and then it's all kumbaya at the end. It's pretty funny. It 36 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.400 didn't mean to be a spoiler, but he knew it would end that way. 37 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.280 And then the U of A put out a video. Uh today, 38 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:31.879 I didn't say I saw it, but I didn't see it. Here's tere's 39 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.520 in my eyes, dude, here's my about the past. Yeah, but 40 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.240 it's all about football. But it goes back to you know, uh, 41 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.719 you know, getting into the Pac ten and and it just highlights from all 42 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.719 the way back and you know, maybe maybe go back and think about, 43 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.080 you know, even the early days of you know, when Arizona was in 44 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.879 the Pack ten. How long ago it's been and how much has happened and 45 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:58.439 how it's all over. Brian Jefferies Uh narrates a little bit. There's a 46 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.360 a Dick Tomy piece at the very big ginning of it, you know, 47 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.560 again for for for a fan like me, you know who he's been a 48 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.759 part of this all this time. You know, it a little a little 49 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.280 choking nap going on. It's pretty cool. We go look for it on 50 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.759 the I think it's on the football on the football Twitter. Okay, I'm 51 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.840 a love Twitter. And that that also is like a four minute video so 52 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.039 you'll have to watch it during the break or something. Okay, it was 53 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.280 very cool, cool, cool stuff today. But yeah, today's to day, 54 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.520 big change, big change. We'll see what happens, because it happens. 55 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:35.479 Were you surprised because the in nine days the Pac twelve was gonna have 56 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.199 the Big Big twelve was gonna have media day, and it's gonna be in 57 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.919 Vegas? Right? Are you surprised that it's in Vegas and it's in Vegas? 58 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.599 I absolutely, I'm surprised that it wouldn't be in Kansas City. So 59 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:49.199 why why are you surprised because I want to go to Vegas? Because because 60 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:51.840 they all all the media members want to go to Vegas. Yeah, sure, 61 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.120 no, no, But it's it's surprising because everyone when they went to 62 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.280 the Big twelve're thinking, oh, maybe we're gonna have the tournament, the 63 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.240 bestball tournament right in Vegas. That's not gonna happen. I don't think so, 64 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:04.000 right, not not initially, you know they I think then they signed 65 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:08.280 to be in the in Kansas City to like twenty thirty or something like that, 66 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.520 too year, something like that. Yeah, but I could see them 67 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.639 eventually kind of. That's why I'm surprised about this. Look. I could 68 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.439 see where they where They would say, you know what, Vegas would be 69 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.079 great, But we're not going to give them that yet, right, We're 70 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.160 not gonna you know, their new kids on the block. Sure, we're 71 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.480 not. We're not giving them, you know, the the good candy. 72 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:30.560 They got to take the bad for a while, right, No, No, 73 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.879 I made all the sense in the one they said not yet. You 74 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.639 know PAC twelve if they, if it was reversed, PAC twelve wouldn't say 75 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.480 we're going to Kansas City, right, you know exactly? Yeah, or 76 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.519 doubts it would be that that meme of the new kids coming to town. 77 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.399 Well, sorry, you have to take the seat in the back. Yeah, 78 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.600 get to you know, earn your chops, right exactly exactly. So 79 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.639 we'll see. It should be a lot of fun as moving forward, because 80 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:56.959 we have a month before let's not a month right for football. It starts, 81 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.120 wasn't It started late August the last last Saturday in August on his camp 82 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.279 start. Yeah, yeah, late July probably, yeah, okay, and 83 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.959 then it then it goes you know, hot, hot, hot, until 84 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:13.000 it's not in September, early early late August is the first game. Yeah, 85 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.360 so we'll see what happened. But yeah, this is where it all 86 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.199 flips over the you know, the page is turned. Arizona's in the Big 87 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:26.279 twelve. Now Oklahoma and and and uh Texas are in the SEC. Callan 88 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.720 Stafford in the ACC, and those other schools are in the in the Big 89 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.160 ten. It's it's all different today. Yeah, yeah, so much has 90 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.800 changed, I mean the whole I'm sure your life has changed a number of 91 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.319 times. Given you used to be a sports writer and then you went to 92 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.199 the PR area and then you continue to do other things, and here you 93 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.519 are doing other things. I got here in eighty seven, you know, 94 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.839 this young sports writer. Think can I be here for three years and then 95 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.360 leave? Right? And then I fell in love with the place, so 96 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.800 I stayed. And it was the early and still ten years into the PAC 97 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.759 ten packed ten right print ten and uh, so much has changed. I 98 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:09.600 mean people are getting paid now more than they deserve. Probably yeah, yeah, 99 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.079 no, you know again going back, I mean, you know I 100 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.480 was, Uh, I was just out of high school when when they you 101 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.079 know, the first year in the seventy eight and seventy eight, Uh, 102 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:25.639 I actually have a sophomore in uh uh yeah, it's a sophomore in high 103 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.879 school college when you know the first year the back then and you know that 104 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.839 very first year, you know, we went we took a road trip and 105 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.120 went to see Arizona play UCLA football, you know, and that was just 106 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.720 the coolest thing. Right We're playing u C. L A. And not 107 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.199 only we're not just playing them, you know from out of the wat we're 108 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.959 you know, we're in their league. And it was just coole as hell. 109 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.600 So I don't I don't think Maybe I don't know, Henry, because 110 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.120 you're young and you're having experienced this, because I think we're old. That's 111 00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:54.639 not gonna happen in basket. It's not gonna happen in football for us. 112 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.839 Oh they're playing, Yeah, they're playing you know who are they gonna play? 113 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.240 Yeah? That gives you the jew since is now but in basketball it 114 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.000 is, yeah, in in football and back in any sport. Are you 115 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.040 how are you looking at this change? Because when we're young. We're kind 116 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.399 of like, okay, cool, cool cool? Is it gonna be okay, 117 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:15.199 cool cool for you. I'm definitely gonna miss the certain Pac twelve matchups 118 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.000 like U C, l A and that, But like in basket, I 119 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.399 think I'm more excited for the basketball matchups than the football. Just like Kansas, 120 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.279 Baylor, Iowa State, all these teams are really good at basketball and 121 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.079 football. I mean they're all right. So yeah, so they're gonna cheat 122 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.319 you out of a Kansas meeting? Are you? Is this your final year? 123 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.279 Yeah? Okay, so you missed that. But you know what, 124 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:40.920 we didn't talk about this Jay when we had uh share share Oh yeah, 125 00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.600 can you speak? Yeah, and you would ask him, I don't think 126 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.040 we've talked about this, and we asked him, okay here, we're a 127 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.240 bit surprised that this is not happening, and he says, not over here, 128 00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.399 no big deal to us. Yeah, we had we play a lot 129 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.759 of good games. Arizona's just another one, right see. And that's what 130 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.839 we before we had him on, we predicted that that was probably gonna be 131 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.120 the reactions, Like, guys, we have games like this all the time. 132 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.759 It's you know, it's no big deal to us. And I tried 133 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.680 to explain to him and said, this is a big deal to us because 134 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.839 we don't have big games like this all the time. You know, we 135 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.079 we treasured get bringing in U Kansas or over the past years of Michigan or 136 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.759 you know, Alabama or or Duke but whoever. Doesn't that tell you the 137 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.759 difference between the two programs between the two conferences for sure? You know. 138 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.000 Now again you know Kansas had to deal with Oklahoma and Texas all those times. 139 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.000 But they they, like you know, like Arizona, get their asses 140 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.440 kicked by them all the time. So you know, maybe they're happy they're 141 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.799 gone, right, So I don't know, it's yeah, it's different because 142 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.480 again to me, you know, at that time going into the Pac ten, 143 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.200 I you know, I know Washington was pretty good, but but they 144 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.039 weren't what they had became, you know in the late eighties and early nineties. 145 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.360 So the whole thing was about getting to play USC and Ucla in football 146 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:03.639 and gating to play Ucla and basketball. That was that that was the where 147 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:09.120 the excitement was about going into the Pac ten. Yeah, I'm sure that 148 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.639 you uh would agree with me that that once they saw that Oklahoma and Texas 149 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.799 were leaving. There was a side of relief and like like there was one 150 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.600 that was going into them thinking we have a better chance of winning there that 151 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.159 they have said the same thing, we have a better chance of winning it 152 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.080 now right right and there I guarantee you. I mean, well, you 153 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.360 know, they think, you know, having those four schools that you know, 154 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.600 helps the league and stuff like that. They're not afraid of any of 155 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.720 any of the four schools in any of the sports, right even Arizona coming 156 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.679 in basketball? Yeah? Maybe, Uh, who's who's not very good in 157 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:46.159 basketball in the Big twelve? Oh god, I don't know West Virginia right 158 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.440 now. No, they're pretty good West Virginia now, they're all decent, 159 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.200 right yeah, So again, none of them are going to be afraid of 160 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.919 her. They're saying, bring it, come on over, you know, 161 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.720 and and and the same thing. In football, None of that. None 162 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.600 of the schools they're saying own out here comes Arizona, ACU, Colorado, 163 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.080 and Utah. None of them are saying that. No. I think that 164 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.240 Utah right now as they see it coming in that they're thinking Utah might be 165 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.320 tough. Utah is gonna be tough. But we can you know, we 166 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.919 can take it. They're they're the Pac twelve. We can take no, 167 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.360 and for that reason through the soft Pac twelve. But they're not the soft 168 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.200 pack twelve. Utah. Utah is the mean kid on the block and has 169 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.440 been for a while. Even Washington stopped being the you know what we saw 170 00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.600 in the early nineties with guys like Steve im and then some of those players. 171 00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.159 Even Washington, you know, yes, they got to the National Championship 172 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:39.399 game, but not because they were some monster defensive team that beat the living 173 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.679 crap out of you week in and week out. They were just good. 174 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.039 Yeah. Right, uh And and so you know, there's not anybody that 175 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.840 they're that that any of the Big twelve schools are gonna fear coming into the 176 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:54.799 league. It's more schools and it's gonna make the conference probably more interesting. 177 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.480 But I just don't think that they the Big twelve is shaking in its boots 178 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.639 over anybody that's coming over. No, it's gonna and it's gonna be a 179 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.600 nice balance, right except for you don't get to see Kansas twice in basketball. 180 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.080 Yeah eventually. Well, and the thing is that people gotta remember, 181 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.360 Okay, we're in their league. Now we're gonna see them at least once 182 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.200 every year, sometimes twice. So okay, it does it suck that we 183 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:22.039 don't get them twice in the first season, you know, but there's still 184 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.480 some good games coming to town. So oh yeah, you know, I 185 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:30.440 mean, I mean, it's gonna be fun going into the arena every every 186 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.960 conference game. It is. I mean, there isn't a team that you 187 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.000 go, we can kick your ass, right right, you know, every 188 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.039 game is going to be like, okay, you know we got to be 189 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.519 you know, you know, you take a game off, you're gonna lose. 190 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:48.279 And there were times in the in the Big twelve, in the Pac 191 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.720 twelve that you could take a game off and still beat somebody by twenty right, 192 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.960 right, So we'll see. I mean, you probably have a major 193 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.240 bet for eight eight or better, right. I haven't decided if I'm going 194 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.759 to Steve. Uh, it's gonna be tough. I think here, here's 195 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:05.200 here's why. Here's why. Because of the half, there's no hook on 196 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.039 it. I think if it was it was eight and a half, I 197 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.399 might take the under, and if it was seven and a half, I 198 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.399 definitely take the it's sitting on eight. You know, you gotta get nine 199 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.240 to win. I don't know that I want to do that. It includes 200 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.480 the bowl game, right, no regular season, regular season wins. Yeah, 201 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.639 it won't be a bet. It shouldn't be a bet. Yeah, 202 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:28.960 because it was at seven and a half. I want yeah, and I'm 203 00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.320 and I'm I saw it at seven and a half one day during the show, 204 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.159 and I'm mad at myself for not taking it. I should have taken 205 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:39.799 it right then and there, but I didn't. But so I'm gonna it's 206 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.480 just not a just not a good number. I don't I don't feel good 207 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.639 enough. Yeah, well, mostly because to win to win the Kansas State 208 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:46.919 will be the game that we have to watch to see if we can get 209 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.360 there, right the one there, they're underdogs by seven and a half point. 210 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.879 I'm putting that. I'm putting that as a loss. Okay, if 211 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.919 we were to go through the schedule right now, I'm marking that game as 212 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.480 a loss because it's only the third game, you know, with the new 213 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:09.080 it's on the road, with the new coaching staff. You know, if 214 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.399 they win, great, you know, then expectations go through the roof. 215 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.039 If they lose, well, okay, they lost, but I'm not I'm 216 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.679 not marking that. I'm marking that down today as probably a loss one because 217 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.399 I don't want to get to that game and if they lose, be really 218 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.000 pissed off about it. Now, if they lose it like they lost in 219 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:35.279 Mississippi State last year with fafe To throwing four interceptions and in his first four 220 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.320 passes or something like that, then I'm gonna be Then I'm gonna be pissed. 221 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:41.000 But you know, if they go in play a good game and get 222 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.879 beat I want what's to be upset about there. They're a good team and 223 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.639 you're at their place. Okay, So this first segment is almost over, 224 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.879 just real quick.

He you 335 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.319 know he had all this talent and you know he didn't get there with it? 336 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.599 Right, But eight and four in the new league? Way, hold 337 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.400 on, I'm not a good looking dude. But if I go eight and 338 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.440 four in life, I'll take it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 339 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.440 Don't you have to realize who you are in Arizona football? Yes, 340 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.680 there was three years ago you would you have signed up for this? And 341 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.319 there's perspective with that too, And there you go, right, three four 342 00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.559 years ago you're thinking of god, I just want to win some games. 343 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.519 Are they going to be good again? Right? You know? So Knya, 344 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.960 here you are. Do you want to be better? Yes? Is 345 00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:02.000 it possible? Yes? But there is the questions, yeah, yeah, 346 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:04.400 there are there are some questions. And lo, what about your group, 347 00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.480 your group that you hang with. You know, I'm not your tester, 348 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:15.039 but I think at fours, yeah, pretty good. I think today they 349 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:19.079 go, okay, that'd be okay, right. I think they're hoping for 350 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:23.880 nine. You know, I think they're thinking Arizona should get nothing. Let's 351 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.359 go through this real quick. Let's go through that schedule just because we have 352 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.480 time and we're none all right, let me talk okay, let me let 353 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:30.640 me call up the schedule real fast, just to be realized. You know, 354 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.960 way Vegas doesn't lose for a reason, right, And they're saying eight 355 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.079 if it's saying four Okay, right, they're saying eight, it's a it's 356 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:44.039 a draw, and if it goes nine, you know they you know, 357 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.720 I think more people will take the under than the over, sure, right, 358 00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:52.160 because it's Arizona. Okay, all right, So okay, So here 359 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:57.559 we go New Mexico opener, win NAU win two. Okay, so that 360 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:02.440 no bye week and they play Kansas State on Friday night. Okay, so 361 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:07.599 let's too one. Okay, I'm gonna go lost there at Utah and two 362 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.799 two and two, I agree with you, Okay. Then Texas Tech comes 363 00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:15.240 to town, so three and two? Okay, Jay, this is and 364 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.799 this is the problem with with Tucson sports fans. I'm sure there's some geeks 365 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.000 stuff out there, like to Henry's the world who know more about? No? 366 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.000 No, who know about stuff that we don't know about that because we're 367 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:26.880 basically this is it sexist tech? Right, honestly, what do we? 368 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:30.000 I think they should beat Texas Tech? Okay? So three, three and 369 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.160 two died? Yeah, you know what I'm saying, right, it's like 370 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:34.480 the Florida International. What the hell did we know? And all of a 371 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:37.400 sudden in the final four, right, Okay, Then they go to b 372 00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:42.720 Yu. Okay, I don't even know how b YU did last They're not 373 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.640 supposed to be good. There's I think they had them at four wins this 374 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:48.960 year, So let's go four and two. They have them predicted at four 375 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.400 and eight. Okay, but that was a second. I just want to 376 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:57.839 see for myself what they did last year. Okay, last year they were 377 00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.240 five and seven last year. Oh okay, I'll mark that as a win. 378 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.440 So for four and two, they're four and two Colorado here. For 379 00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:08.480 I'm going to win? Is that six and two, five and two, 380 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:12.200 five and two, five and West Virginia here, six and two, six 381 00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:17.839 and two at Central Florida. I don't know. I don't know. Let 382 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:19.559 me see me six and two, six and two right now, right, 383 00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:26.799 yeah, let's see again a team that I know nothing about. I don't 384 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.240 know how they how they did last year. I'm looking that up as we 385 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.759 speak, and I have them at I mean, they think they were six 386 00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.880 and seven last year. So six and six lost a Bowl game to he 387 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.640 to Georgia Tech. Okay, so we were five and two now, so 388 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.799 yeah, five and two, okay, So that's another one of those iffy 389 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.000 games. Five and two. I think we're six and two. Let's see, 390 00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:56.319 oh, four two, three, four five, or they're six and 391 00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.480 two before this game, before this game six and two, Henry, I 392 00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.720 just you talked about it last week, the time zone. I think that'll 393 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.759 be a big okay, good, good, good point. So let's have 394 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.640 them a lost just because Okay, six and three and three, so that's 395 00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:15.039 nine games and we got three more Houston here, let's go within seven and 396 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:22.559 seven and seven and three at TCU seven and three, then they have issue 397 00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.680 and then a SU so they're seven and three. They split those two their 398 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:32.319 eight four. That's why it's eight. Yeah. Yeah, So so they 399 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:37.240 get if they get TCU or they get Central Florida, Okay or Kansas State, 400 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.799 one of those three, then they're then they're nine win team. But 401 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.319 then but remind you, let me remind you, always loses when that's gonna 402 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.640 bring you back down to something. He wins is perfect. But they did 403 00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:53.599 not lose one. They weren't supposed to be last year. There are three 404 00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:57.799 losses were all losses that you know. They lost to UH, they lost 405 00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:07.799 to Washington, they lost to USC and they lost to Mississippi State. In 406 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:10.920 the end, Mississippi State was the game they should have won, but it 407 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:12.319 was on the road. You know, you're not gonna mark that down as 408 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:18.160 a win. So they the ten games they won, they either were supposed 409 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.759 to win or weren't supposed to win and won them anyways. And you know, 410 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:29.359 Washington State, Oregon State, UH and uh and uh Utah come to 411 00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.559 mind, although Utah came in without their quarterback and stuff, so right, 412 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.559 and that was their given because you you didn't believe it either until yeah, 413 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.400 it was until that. Yeah, it took. It took to that game 414 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:42.359 for me to believe that Arizona was actually pretty good, which was late late 415 00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:47.640 in the year. Again that the Arizona fan in me saying, we can't 416 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.359 possibly be this good, right but the but they were ten and three beat 417 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:59.319 Oklahoma, So I don't. I don't unless unless they moved that line to 418 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:00.880 soe and a half. I wun't looking at this now because you have to 419 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.640 struggle to get even you have to truggle just to get to the eight. 420 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:08.079 See that's what that That's what I'm saying because I feel like, yeah, 421 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:12.920 but if you get to the eight, you don't lose, Okay, Okay, 422 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:15.039 I don't lose. Sitting on this chair. I know. But but 423 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:18.119 what I'm saying is that if it was yeah, for seven and a half, 424 00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:22.279 you got to you win, But if it at eight, I'm not 425 00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.000 taking it at eight. I'm not taking eight and a half, right right, 426 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.400 I'm not betting. I'm not betting the under or the over eight two 427 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:36.000 to one, two to one. Uh yeah, do that to you if 428 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.839 yeah, if I got plus two hundred on that, I do that. 429 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.400 Let me look at that too, because I let's see, on the eight 430 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:47.759 wins, they're plus one oh five, so leave a little bit over even 431 00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:51.720 money, yea even money, but under eight their minus one twenty five, 432 00:27:51.799 --> 00:28:00.599 so they're leaning. The reaction is actually leaning higher. Right, Yeah, 433 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.759 I wouldn't touch it. It's not touchable, not if you want to just 434 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.839 try to. You're betting that just to bet it, just to get your 435 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.039 juice, as you say, and then break even or do you lose a 436 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:12.960 big well, then you're spending ten dollars to one hundred to think, are 437 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:18.720 you? I don't know, I don't know. I don't die much because 438 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:22.960 I'm I'm only knowing pushes. You don't want to get your parlay right and 439 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.279 you get your money back because it's a parlay, So I don't I don't 440 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.319 know. Let's take this call. High are on the air and eye on 441 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:36.480 the ball. Hey guys, Vic the Vic.

I think they've 444 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:47.519 got to be having that factor in and we don't know how how healthy the 445 00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:49.920 wide receiver is going to be. He's all right. I saw him at 446 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.880 a picture in the weight room and he's walking. He don't have that boot 447 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:57.319 on no more. So how do you know he's walking without that? But 448 00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:02.000 did you do you have a picture? None of you? Yeah there was 449 00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:06.200 there was a picture, But I mean I I yeah, Okay, he's 450 00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:10.240 gonna be fine. Okay, So are you going over eight?

So Vic, are you're gonna spit up? 453 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:21.640 No, not that you do this, because I don't know if you 454 00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:26.000 do or not. You would put the hundred on over eight, over nine 455 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.640 and or even ten. They're there right now. Mark it down double or 456 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.799 nothing.

I feel so 480 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:26.200 strong about that kid. He's like Sean atleott Or. I'm telling you he's 481 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.839 got that yet, and maybe we haven't had it for a long time. 482 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:36.119 Okay, I'm writing the VIC train. Okay, so let me ask you, 483 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.440 well, we have a couple of minutes. Uh you you've paid attention 484 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:44.240 to Orizonal Football forever. In the Grant scheme of UA quarterbacks, I know 485 00:31:44.359 --> 00:31:48.480 he's got to simple size of ten twelve games. Yeah, whatever, where 486 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:53.480 does he land? Where does he land? Oh my gosh, him and 487 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:59.440 team are going to go in there on the history as today today. I'm 488 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.839 team to me, he's gonna be the best player ever. Yes, but 489 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.279 with the quarterback Noah in terms of the past, the past quarterbacks, what 490 00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:09.000 does he rank? Shoots got to be top five? Who else is up 491 00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:15.319 there? Well, you got to you got Nick Foles, Yeah, and 492 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:19.000 then you kind and then well then you got a bunch of guys that could 493 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:22.640 have been great. But along the way, you know, chingered it up. 494 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:27.559 You know, remember on Solomon after Stretchman year, we thought, we 495 00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.119 thought that guy, right, we thought that guy is going to be here 496 00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.799 and he's gonna be the greatest quarterback ever. And then he would you know, 497 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:37.000 he got injured and got his head kicked in and you know, and 498 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.960 then he was gone. Khalil Tate was a flash, like you know, 499 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.319 I mean, just a complete flash for four games, four or five games. 500 00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:50.799 I'm reminded that that year after all, you know, the Colorado and 501 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:55.960 Washington State and that stretch of four games they lost fash that year. I 502 00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:00.599 remember, yeah, right, So he's he's been he's gonna be up there, 503 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:05.599 top three, top four. I haven't been long enough yet. He's 504 00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:12.720 gonna really put it together. He could he could become, could become he's 505 00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:16.839 on he's on a path to become. And again eight games, nine games, 506 00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:21.880 the best quarterback Arizona's ever had. But you have to temper that with 507 00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.480 the fact that the best quarterback Arizona has ever had never won a championship, 508 00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:34.960 right. So yeah, so you know you have to temper the thinking on 509 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.359 that. So you know, there's and as in there's just not a lot 510 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:43.079 of competition there. So if he if he goes off and they have another 511 00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.960 ten or eleven wins season, twelve wins with a bowl game or whatever, 512 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:49.839 you know, now you get to talking and then he's got one more year 513 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:54.599 after that, and then you see where he winds up today. That is 514 00:33:54.640 --> 00:34:00.039 the top five quarterback certainly had one of the top five seasons in Arizona history. 515 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.519 And that was nine games. That was three games in right, four 516 00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:07.320 games in right. So, uh, you know I think that, well 517 00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:10.159 we're rains to be seen, Vic, but I like, you know, 518 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:20.320 I like your thinking on that and just his and his off the field, 519 00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:22.440 Yeah all that, No, that's part of it. I mean obviously, 520 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:29.320 because he's off the field helps who is on the field. Yeah. Yeah, 521 00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:30.639 we got to go, Thank you, Vic.

We used to with the kids, and then the kids 563 00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:28.280 are gone, so no, not so much anymore. We go up to 564 00:37:28.280 --> 00:37:30.400 Mount Lemon. Oh, yeah, nice and cool, very well, and 565 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:32.000 not just that. There's a there's a little parade up there that's pretty cool. 566 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:37.360 So there's people up there, dogs and it's just it's it's like a 567 00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:40.840 fifteen minute parade. It's like their fire trucks and there's a few, uh 568 00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:45.960 people who march and stuffy just wave. Got the parade wave. You know, 569 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:51.079 there's usually a a what do you call it, a bagpipe, you 570 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:54.519 know, whatever they're called, you know, the bagpipes, and a couple 571 00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:58.880 of bands maybe, and you know, people just waving and throwing candy at 572 00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:00.480 you. And yeah, it's a lot of fun, all right. So 573 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:06.000 I just just to let people know there are places that you can still get 574 00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:14.400 Arizona over seven and a half wins bat MGM fan dual Bally's a few of 575 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:19.320 those. So, uh, if you're if you're if you're inclined to wager 576 00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:23.599 on the win total for Arizona, you can do better than eight, which 577 00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:27.639 I wish I chopped around a little bit before I did that, but okay, 578 00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:30.559 I didn't. So I got the eight. On draft games, Yeah, 579 00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.159 that's gonna be a tough game to win. But but you took the 580 00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.559 advice of Vic. Vic's never been wrong. I know, I'm Vic, 581 00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.920 I love you, man, I'm on it, but I'm talking like that. 582 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.920 I'm pointing you out to my wife. If I don't, if I 583 00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.159 don't hit that, you realize he owes me to stay dinner. So he's 584 00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:52.880 been wrong with Okay, all right, okay, so yeah, so you 585 00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:54.000 know again, if you've you've got some thoughts on this, would love, 586 00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:59.639 would love to hear those again. The four losses we picked again were Kansas 587 00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:06.159 State, Central, Florida, Utah TCU. Yeah, all winnable games. 588 00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:09.559 I think the TCU could go either way. All winnable games. And who 589 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.960 knows about Kansas State. Yeah, yeah, I agree with you. There's 590 00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:16.719 it's yeah, very doable. Could be ten, ten and two, yeah, 591 00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:21.920 it's ten and two. Wow. Yeah wow, first year, first 592 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.400 year, you know, right, you know, we'll see and you know 593 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.840 what, you know, we're gonna they're gonna start camp. We might go 594 00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:30.519 with somebody to practice and stuff, but we're not gonna know, squaw. 595 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:35.400 No, you don't know until they get to Kansas State. Right, We're 596 00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:37.719 not gonna know anything about this team until it gets unless they do something stupid 597 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:42.079 like you know, almost get beat or get beat by you know, like 598 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:45.960 saying New New Mexico comes and plays them tough, but they're like I think 599 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:50.000 I saw thirty and a half point lying on that game. Yeah, wow, 600 00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:52.480 back, I can see what it is right now. But you know, 601 00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:57.519 you know, if they if they if New Mexico comes in here, 602 00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:00.199 it's a game in the fourth quarter, and then you're gonna go, WHOA, 603 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:01.800 what's what's going on? You might chalk it up to again, a 604 00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:08.639 first game under under uh, what's his name, Brent Brannan, We might 605 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:12.360 chalk it up to that. So, uh, you know, I don't 606 00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.920 know, we'll see, but I think, yeah, there's still thirty and 607 00:40:14.960 --> 00:40:20.639 a half on DraftKings minus one ten four from New Mexico. Yeah, that's 608 00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:23.519 a lot of points, some fun games in that first week l s u 609 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:32.119 usc USC but that's a that's in Vegas. Oh when you imagine all this 610 00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:39.360 baton rouge people going to somebody's gonna die. You gonna call let's take this 611 00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:44.559 call. Hi, you're on the Aaron eye on the ball. How's it 612 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.239 going today? What's up, Brian? Well, just you know, I 613 00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:51.159 think eight's about as good as a guess as you're gonna get right now. 614 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:52.679 Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you know. I mean 615 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:58.320 it's it's I mean, the Central Florida one I'm not too sure about. 616 00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:00.519 I would be worried. I be worried about Houston. Guy, have no 617 00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:05.000 idea what they're gonna be like, you know, because we never had a 618 00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:08.440 chance to see any of these teams, right right, you know, we 619 00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:12.679 really know anything about them. And a big piece of this is that there's 620 00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:15.159 gotta be a lot of people at the home games, right, they gotta 621 00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:16.639 you know, they got to create some atmosphere. They got to make it 622 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:21.760 hard to win because I think we have them winning all the home games, 623 00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:25.840 Steve right, right, So we haven't winning all the home games. So 624 00:41:25.960 --> 00:41:28.559 you go on the road, you got it. You're gonna have to win 625 00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:30.639 a couple on the road. Well, let's see, you know, let's 626 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:35.960 see what happens. But uh, you know, well I think one problem 627 00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:37.760 to people looking at okay, we can get in, that we can get 628 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.320 in that top twelve, Well, people are gonna have to realize too that 629 00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:45.840 the SEC picked up two pre quality teams. Yeah that you know, don't 630 00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:51.159 be surprised that the SEC and the Big ten get eight of those twelve spots. 631 00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.000 Well I won't be surprised at all. In fact, I think that's 632 00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:59.000 the expectation that that that they'll get eight. You know, the Big twelve 633 00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:02.800 will get two, the A C C will get to Well, then who's 634 00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:07.920 the big team yeah, and the a CC will get to oh no, 635 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:13.480 five has to go win seven. They're gonna get seven. They're gonna get 636 00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:16.840 seven, right, they're gonna get seven of them, all right, and 637 00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:21.159 you're gonna have to look at Notre Dame one of those teams if they're good, 638 00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:23.800 that they're gonna get one of those twelve spots, right right. No, 639 00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:28.159 I hear you, I hear you. And part of it will depend 640 00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:30.280 on how good, you know, the rest of the league is, and 641 00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:34.440 if the if the champion and the second place team, you know, the 642 00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:37.480 second place team is the second place team is nine and three, and then 643 00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:42.519 you know they go in and lose the you know, lose the conference championship 644 00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.199 and their nine and four, you're not getting in. You know, the 645 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.079 second place team has to have you know, ten wins, eleven wins or 646 00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:52.920 whatever, or the loser of the conference championship game has to have ten or 647 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:57.320 eleven wins to have a realistic shot of getting in the playoffs, right, 648 00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:00.400 you know, I think they can get there, but it's you know, 649 00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:04.920 it's just so many unknowns. We don't know anything about these teams. Yeah, 650 00:43:05.159 --> 00:43:07.800 No, and that's it, And I think that's I kind of think 651 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:09.159 that's what's gonna be fun about it. It's like, Okay, we think 652 00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:14.159 we can win this game, but let's see what happens. But I'm still 653 00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:15.960 going to miss the pack. Yeah, of course we are. Of course 654 00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.599 we are. Yeah, it was it was always fun. Today. Yeah, 655 00:43:19.639 --> 00:43:22.400 bad day today it is. It's a it's a tough day, but 656 00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.920 it's a tough day.

Okay, God, I gotta change my 680 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:09.159 image, but it's gonna take forever. Someone needs to be realistic in this 681 00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:15.719 room. Someone needs to tell the kids, no, cool dad doesn't go 682 00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.199 to mom.

But you know, I was sitting I was sitting there checking things 686 00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.320 out, and then I saw the video and I'm like, uh, this 687 00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.760 is really it. This is the day, the day another realistic hope. 688 00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:45.760 Higher on the air and nine on the ball. Hey, how you guys 689 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:53.280 doing. Hey, Steve's and myself are no more downers than than Jay's a 690 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:58.880 throwing the water on betting of death when it comes to betting upper. Yeah, 691 00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:00.679 he's the upper. We're not the We're just more realistic coward. Right. 692 00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:06.000 Yeah. It's like, I'm not one to ask about the football team. 693 00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:07.320 I can't care less, but I want to steer it towards baseball. 694 00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:12.480 And most of the questions are for j because he's mister Baseball. Okay, 695 00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:20.239 okay, no, it's it's all good. You know, my team has 696 00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:23.840 the Japanese pitcher that's actually good and not paying a lot for him. But 697 00:46:23.880 --> 00:46:29.920 they're but they're so brutal my team and anyway, but I want to know, 698 00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:34.039 the whole Major leagues are not batting good, you know what I mean, 699 00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:39.360 They're low the average, the batting average, it's terrible. Joy or 700 00:46:39.519 --> 00:46:45.639 Aaron Judge, Well, well again, it's it's become you know, somebody 701 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:49.119 made a comment or I saw I saw a tweet and it was by George 702 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.559 Brett, and somebody sent it to me who said that, you know, 703 00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:54.559 when you know, when I was hitting, and when I teach people to 704 00:46:54.679 --> 00:47:00.199 hit, I teach them to swing level across home late because your bat is 705 00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:04.559 in the zone longer and you have a better chance of hitting the ball. 706 00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:07.480 And then somebody coming to me and says, well, that's how you hit 707 00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:09.679 singles, and I'm like, okay. They said, well that's not that's 708 00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:14.639 not how they're playing anymore. And and then and that's true because when you 709 00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:16.039 were when you play ball, when you were a kid, how many times 710 00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:22.119 did your coach tell you don't uppercut? Don't uppercut? Right, And that's 711 00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:25.119 how everybody swings it today, right, That's how everbody swings for launch angle 712 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.719 and all that stuff. That's how they swing, and that's why they're striking 713 00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:30.119 out. And that's why they're not, you know, the batting averages are 714 00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:34.280 lower and stuff like that, because they're not out there trying to hit singles. 715 00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.599 Were grounding out right, they're not. They're not going through or you'd 716 00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:40.519 hit down on the ball and a little bit down on the ball, you're 717 00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:44.480 not gonna pop it up. You might ground out. Yeah, but you 718 00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:46.760 know, George Burrow was one of the greatest hitters ever. He said something 719 00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:51.199 like I've got thirty four thirty four hundred hits to tell you. I'm right. 720 00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:53.960 Yeah, same thing. Yeah, I don't know. Everybody's trying to 721 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:57.239 change this game. It used to be a pretty good game. It was 722 00:47:57.280 --> 00:48:00.480 fun. It's fun. But again, you know, these guys like Henry 723 00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:02.880 over here just no matter who your team is. Yeah, these guys like 724 00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:06.280 Henry over here just loved the long ball. And that's all you get. 725 00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:09.199 Man, you got it. You gotta string some hits together. That's just 726 00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:13.719 how you have to do it. And stolen bases. Yeah, that's the 727 00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:16.039 whole regular game. Yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree. Thanks 728 00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:19.880 sold for the call. Okay, we'll talk to you guys later. So, 729 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:22.000 so everyone time, This is a conversation I heard this weekend. I 730 00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.159 think, you know, everyone's kind of I don't know everyone. A lot 731 00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:27.599 of people are applotting that it's a quick game now, right right, you 732 00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:30.800 pay fifty dollars to the game. I'm not too sure that quick game is 733 00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:34.760 cool because you want to you're spending fifty bucks. You kind of enjoy the 734 00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.320 game too. At sixty five years old, I like the faster game. 735 00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:40.440 When I was twenty five and going to a Dodger game and it ended in 736 00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:44.960 two hours, I'd be upset. Yeah, right, So if you know, 737 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.400 if you're you know, look, I'm gonna miss if it goes if 738 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:51.519 it goes three hours, I'm gonna miss more of the game because I'm gonna 739 00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:54.400 go to the bathroom more. Okay, sixty five, right, sixty five? 740 00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:57.880 Right, Well, I keep saying I'm sixty five, not sixty five. 741 00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:00.840 I'm sixty four. But you know, I like the quicker game. 742 00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:01.840 I like the two and a half hour game. Now, I like the 743 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.440 two and a half hour game when I'm at home because it doesn't take up 744 00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:07.559 the whole night. Those three plus hour games, man, those are hard. 745 00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:10.639 Those were hard to sit through. I'd come and go from a game 746 00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:14.440 that was on TV, you know, a bunch because you know, you 747 00:49:14.519 --> 00:49:15.559 just can't sit there and watch it. I mean, we put on that, 748 00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:19.880 we put on that that that game on Sunday, and when eleven Indians 749 00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:23.039 it still wasn't three hours. So you we're talking about Yeah, football three 750 00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:28.360 hours, three change great for me. I'm sure the restroom is busy. 751 00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:31.840 The restroom is busy, you know. And you know, I like the 752 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.320 I like the shorter game and just just the not so much sitting around, 753 00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:39.039 you know, watching the guy pull his gloves on and off, you know, 754 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:44.880 between every pitch. Remember it was no mar Garcia par I remember that 755 00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:46.239 guy, yeah, you know, and then it was just then there was 756 00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:50.880 the guy they used to call the human rain delay, Mike Hargrove, Remember 757 00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:52.679 him with the Indians. They used to call him the human rain delay. 758 00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:57.199 Uh, you know that that was not fun to watch. So no, 759 00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:00.800 I like, I like where we are with all of that, with all 760 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.800 of that stuff, and I don't like in the end in an NBA game 761 00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:08.079 it takes a half an hour to play the last three minutes of a game. 762 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:12.159 Well it's still two hours. It's a little overchanged ten two hours and 763 00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:14.480 ten minutes, he think, so, yes, yeah, most of the 764 00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:16.480 time really to fifteen ye because of the TV. Yeah, you have to 765 00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:20.239 be it's like this weekend. Are you don't talking about Kayt and Clark this 766 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:22.679 week? You think, okay, I'll leave it alone. Oh we're talking 767 00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.079 about because we gotta get it. Well, we're gonna do a shortened version 768 00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:29.599 actually of a breaking news. We've got to get out of here. We've 769 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:31.400 got to get Fred Harvey right at four fifteen. Yeah, all right, 770 00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:35.559 But anyways, I you know, I'm okay with it, but I could 771 00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:38.840 see somebody like you know, who can sit there comfortably for three hours, 772 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:42.679 say that sucked that this game went two hours and fifteen minutes. Yeah, 773 00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:45.360 especially I used to think that. Yeah, well, I mean, really, 774 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:46.519 I to spend good money and you want to spend some time with I 775 00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:51.039 mean, I went to I went to LA and one of the highlights is 776 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:52.519 going to a Dodger game. And I go to this game and it was 777 00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:58.320 the Dodgers and the Cardinals and it went one fifty five. It was you 778 00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:00.559 know, it was like a three to one game when one fifty five, 779 00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:05.039 and I was pissed. How old were you in my twenties that sense? 780 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.119 Yeah, yeah, I was upset with that. Then you have to do 781 00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:12.280 two hours trying to get out of the state. Well well yeah, I 782 00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:14.159 mean that was all a part of it, right, You know, when 783 00:51:14.159 --> 00:51:15.320 you go Dodger Stadium, you just know that's a part of it. We 784 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:20.280 should just put a nice chest of refreshments in the trunk of the car and 785 00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:22.719 hang out in the parking lot till a clear not to go, and then 786 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:25.920 you drove home. What kind of refreshments were there? Just so? Does 787 00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:31.760 it? Maybe a beer too? Okay? We were responsible, we were 788 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:37.199 responsible adults not okay, the driver was response okay, but it makes it's 789 00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:39.360 always you don't have to tell me. You can say, yeah, I 790 00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:43.440 agree with guys. Let's do it. I mean we did. Would would 791 00:51:43.480 --> 00:51:46.559 would take a nice chest of beer, would as uh. We'd always park 792 00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:52.480 over against the rail, against the railing that overlooks the city great view, 793 00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:55.960 would back it in and would just sit there on on the on the guardrail 794 00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:00.599 and and you know, listen to the post game show and have fun. 795 00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:04.280 Well, everybody cleared out, and then about probably an hour later, we'd 796 00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:07.159 jump in the car and leave. Okay with that note, we'll take our 797 00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:10.719 break, go to Henry on the other side for a few minutes, and 798 00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:14.360 then get a hold of Fred Harvey. All right, sounds great.
