Um? You know, we'll see some 11 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.560 national news. The US women's soccer national team. UM didn't win their A 12 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.320 group at the World Cup for the first time in twelve years. They finished 13 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.920 second to the Netherlands. People are really pissed about this. It's just a 14 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.000 bizarre thing. They want they're going after three peet right, they're trying to 15 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.400 They're pretty dominant, and all of a sudden they're not. Yeah, and 16 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:08.280 and and the thing is that some of the former players who you know, 17 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.599 aren't playing for the first time and they're ripping up. Carly Lloyd went on 18 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.400 and just shredded the team about how they looked, how they played, that 19 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.239 they become entitled and and and complacent and yeah, yeah, I mean they 20 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:26.599 were the team was getting shredded. Yeah, that's on on social media. 21 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.200 Say they played the weekend, right, they played on the weekend. When 22 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.599 do they play the next Yeah? August six? August six, So twas 23 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.959 about the weekend. Yeah, maybe we get one of our local experts to 24 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.400 talk about, like Kelly, to talk about what they hang on with, 25 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.359 what the heck's going on with them, because you have all these stars and 26 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.159 maybe the chemistry is just kind of because they can't score. They haven't scored, 27 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.239 right, zero zero tie yesterday? Yeah, and they should have lost. 28 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:57.400 Um they had Yeah, yeah, so I make it. Yeah, 29 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.760 dang, h Are you sure you didn't put them any money on him? 30 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.799 I did not. I did not touch it. I did not touch it. 31 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:07.560 Steve, you cannot blame this on me. I know you want to, 32 00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:12.319 but you can't. Well that's my first place, are little kid? 33 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.599 Uh? Some baseball news, the Houston Astros finalized the deal to acquire the 34 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:22.960 a's justin of Verlander the New York Ments. Um, the Ments will receiving 35 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:30.000 autfielder Drew Gilbert and autfielder Ryan Clifford. You know, Um, the last 36 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.759 I had heard was that Verlander might be going to the Dodgers. It would 37 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.400 have been nice, but the Astrots got him. So I'm just glad the 38 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.120 Braves didn't get him. At least the ast was there. In the American 39 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.759 League. Someone from Detroit poop poo the trade to the Dodgers. Yeah, 40 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.759 yeah, yeah, a guy that he had a he had ten teams on 41 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.159 his no trade contract and the Dodge were one of them. He said, 42 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.479 I don't want to go. Fine, stay with the Detroit Tigers. They 43 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.759 suck and they're gonna suck for a long time. You know, go ahead, 44 00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:04.919 you just stay there. He's not bitter. Yeah, yeah. Philadelphia 45 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.960 Phillies aren't agreement on a trade to acquire right and starter Michael Lorenzen and then 46 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.000 Detroit Tigers. So it's a different different guy, different guys. Well, 47 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.280 it's I think, you know, I don't pay attention to baseball, and 48 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.240 you know that except for now, because the Reds are doing really well and 49 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.759 they did well against your Doctors, And there's so many teams in the playoff 50 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.719 hunt and we're in August, so there's a lot of things that could happen 51 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.039 in the next month and a half. Yeah, no, there are, 52 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:37.879 but um, you know, the Doctors need pitching. I don't feel like 53 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:43.319 they're world serious team. No, I don't. We still have that bet 54 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.719 losing bet. We said, we said, in order to win it, 55 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.439 you got to make the playoffs. No we did. I thought we just 56 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.879 for whoever went further. No, I thought we said, you can't win 57 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:57.240 it if you don't make you don't make the playoffs. So both teams. 58 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.400 Don't the Doctors gonna make the playoffs. That just means I'm gonna lose anyone. 59 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.960 You're gonna lose anyone. But the point being that, But my point 60 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.360 is that I don't think. I don't see the Dodgers going very far in 61 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.800 the play Well okay, no, well the same bit. It's kind of 62 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.879 you know, half it doesn't want to have the hand because everyone's picking the 63 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.839 Padres because they're playing pretty well. Now finally, finally, finally they're so 64 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:21.160 far they're they're back like five six kins. But what's what's that going with 65 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.680 us? Uh, that they're one of the better teams. Now, I'm 66 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.360 okay with it. I know I'm not have to pay that bet, but 67 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.319 we'll see. I mean, the Dodgers again are gonna need their heating to 68 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.279 carry him. But and like I said, I think they're they're you know, 69 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.079 they're gonna they might They're probably gonna even win the division. Although the 70 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:41.040 Giants are playing really well right now. But nonetheless, I just don't see 71 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:46.720 them going very far. I really don't. The Texan Rangers are acquiring Austin 72 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:55.680 Edges from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Uh. The Arizona Diamondbacks are acquiring outfielder Tommy 73 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:00.839 Vam from New York from the New York Mets New York Metros fire the sort 74 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.680 of the Diamondbacks they're just they're just following fast. Well, well, the 75 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.319 Dimebacks are. They are only three and a half hours, so they're they're 76 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.040 still in it. That's because that's because they had a lead another phone and 77 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.120 as of now, um they're they're in the wild card so they're still in 78 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.720 it. But um, what are the last ten? They're horrible and last 79 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.360 since the brand and seven since the break they're just miserable to three and the 80 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.519 seven and the last time. But the Dodgers are four and six. I 81 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.920 mean, well, everybody in the National League West is awful. The Dodgers 82 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.879 are the Dodgers. They they're two and four in their homestand right now, 83 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:36.199 unfortunately they got the a's coming in today. So the New York Yankees are 84 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:43.160 acquiring right hand or reliever Kennyan Militant from the Chicago White Sox. Again, 85 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.120 you know, you can tell who's selling, who's buying, who's in the 86 00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.439 playoffs, he's not. I mean, the the Yankees are in the last 87 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:53.240 place, so they're they're terrible. They're ten games out and they're three and 88 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.160 a half games out of the wild cards. So I don't see why they're 89 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.600 even doing anything. And they got it in Judge backs, so maybe they 90 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.920 think Aaron Judge can get them back into this. They're they're shooting for a 91 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.720 wild card spot. Yeah. Um. The San Diego Padres are acquiring right 92 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:14.800 hand or relievers Scott Barlow from the Kansas City Royals. Okay, okay, 93 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.519 I don't know. I mean, this is all you, Jay, even 94 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.839 this is not even me man. I mean some of them and that matters 95 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.639 to me because you know, the Podres are in the Dodgers Dodgers Division, 96 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.240 but right I'm not even thinking about the Padresteave just say, okay, I'm 97 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.040 not either until they're playing well, they're playing better or so. Um. 98 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.720 There was a report that Apple TV Pack twelve coverage was going to feature former 99 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.160 which is stayed head coach Ted Lasso as a leader analyst. I saw that. 100 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:53.759 I don't know if that look right now. Man, everything everything going 101 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:58.000 on with all this is just like you never know what, But that that 102 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:01.560 sounds kind of funny. Okay. Yeah, And I'm still not seeing the 103 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.079 border regions meaning supposedly has ended. I'm just we're not seeing anything coming out 104 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:12.079 of that. Again. They went into executive session, um without any comment 105 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.680 about what they were there to meet about. And uh, they don't have 106 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.040 to say anything if they don't make any kind of decisions or vote on anything. 107 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.560 So I don't know, unless somebody leaked something, we're not gonna I 108 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.879 don't know what we're gonna hear from from that. Okay, Um, that's 109 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.680 all I have for today. Then for breaking news, all right, Um, 110 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.680 you know, just all the training camps are going, Um, there 111 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.639 was something I didn't I didn't see the actual speech, but I guess. 112 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.920 I guess Aaron Rodgers made some sort of a speech to the to the to 113 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.160 the Jets that made them all warm and fuzzy and stuff. Oh you came 114 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.720 out yesterday. Yeah, I'll talk about keep your keep my coach's mouth out, 115 00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.160 name out of your mouth or whatever. It was, Payne something that's 116 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.279 still you know, Uh, they're gonna be funny. He hated it. 117 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.399 This is this is funny and you'll laugh with this because us It was very 118 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.720 apparent that he hated being in Denver, or in not Denver but Green Bay 119 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.040 for a while now, you know. And it was almost to spite them. 120 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.079 But I still say he had twelve yards to run and he didn't do 121 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.720 his. Hell, I ain't taking you back to the super Bowl. I 122 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.439 ain't taking you back to the super Bowl. I might have a chance to 123 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.160 score, I ain't gonna score because it was just so miserable the last two 124 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.920 or three years being there that it was almost like, get me the hell 125 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.360 out of here, and I'm gonna I'm the guy in charge. Yeah, 126 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.040 I'm like the decisions. I was a whole new person. They were talking 127 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.759 about that earlier. This is is he is this the real him or not 128 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.000 the really I mean, I think he's just happy, you know, no 129 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.919 more coaching drama, him, more player drama, just like you know, 130 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.000 until there's until there's drawn way, until there is I guess you know, 131 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.919 right now it's like honeymoon phase. Right now, everything's going well, so 132 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.639 you know, yeah, yeah, So here's a little thing. UM, 133 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.639 the three air Zona players who got drafted baseball players, Chase Davis, Keik 134 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.360 Ormero, and Chris Braza, um Arlin single A. They're not in rookie 135 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.639 league, so they're already you know, moving up, UM, making their 136 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.519 way. I just think Chase David, I'm not gonna say he's a can't 137 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.200 miss guy, but I'm gonna say he's he's got a pretty dan good future. 138 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.759 Uh. The other two guys, you know, it depends on where 139 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.440 they are and all that kind of stuff. But Chase Davis just looks like 140 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.039 a major league ball player. He really does. Of course, he really 141 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.120 really does. So, UM, I guess Kiko Romeros with the Yankees, 142 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.360 Davis is with the Cardinals, and I don't know who Barazzo went to. 143 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.240 Um, what are organizations those guys are rating, but you know, good 144 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.240 good luck on those guys. Um. Another one, Ohio States quarterback, 145 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.759 a guy named Hunter Deckers says, has been accused of placing multiple bets on 146 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:45.000 Iowa State sports, including a football game. This is who Iowa State, 147 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.480 and he was betting on other Iowa State sports, including Iowa State football. 148 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:56.879 I don't know who's accusing him, if it's something that's come out, you 149 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.639 know, if there's an investigation taking place within the university. But again, 150 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.279 you know, we're gonna keep finding these things out until these guys realize it's 151 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.480 not worth the risk because there are taking a lot of risk by doing that. 152 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.519 You just don't, you know, just don't read the rules. Follow 153 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.960 the rules. That's it. Yeah, read the rules. Will follow the 154 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.320 rules pretty soon. Well you gotta do. It's very simple. Yeah. 155 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.720 And if you don't like the rules, well that's just too bad. Those 156 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.039 are the rules. Those are the rules. All right. We got about 157 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:28.639 four minutes left. I want to play this one clip because Dwayne Akeena, 158 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.559 who got hired here as a and so they call it a special assistant, 159 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.600 meaning he's not an on field coach, is in fact gonna be on the 160 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:48.360 field, right now while Ricky Hundley is um is recovering or rehabbing a knee 161 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.279 replacement. And so here's what the Jet Fish said about about Akeina's assignment this 162 00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:03.840 fall. Coach Akeena is gonna take on a on field role for us this 163 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.919 football season. We did a temporary replacement with coach Akeena Coach Huntley when it 164 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:13.159 comes down to the specific role with the team, So Coach Huntley will take 165 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:20.200 on more of a senior defensive assistant role during the fall where he's continuing to 166 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.039 rehab his knee, and Coach Akeena is going to take on the role of 167 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.639 the on field coach with our team and with our players. In turn, 168 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:35.399 though that's just a temporary replacement, so Coach Huntley will still be recruiting for 169 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:41.440 our program. Coach Hunley will still be one of the ten Countable coaches when 170 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:48.840 it comes to certain off field responsibilities, but when it comes to our players 171 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.840 and on field, coach Akeena will be taking on that role as Coach Hunley 172 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.879 continues to rehab. And I think it's a really interesting thing because Dwayne aquinas 173 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.600 you know Steve as an on field coach. I mean that guy brings an 174 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.240 energy, Yeah, um, we we're having fun with that, talking to 175 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.799 him about how his wife commented that every picture of him that you see on 176 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.360 social media, he's like yelling and or very animated, perfect word, he's 177 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.879 very animated and in all the pictures and stuff, and there's like no just 178 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.679 as a studio shot. Yeah, but you know it's a it's a it's 179 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.039 a positive and he's ye like yelling, he's getting you to play harder, 180 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.320 encouragement. I just remember this guy and it's gonna be part of my story 181 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.440 when I write it sometime this week. Just how good of a coach he 182 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.000 has. Come on, he'd coach up Hammer, Schmidt, all these dudes 183 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.279 he has. Yeah, just just good players, good players who became even 184 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:45.399 better players, right right, absolutely, And that was that's and that was 185 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.240 what was great about about a Qina. We're gonna we we we talked to 186 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.240 him for quite a while during this thing today. We're gonna play all that 187 00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.879 tomorrow because he got into story time sometimes with Dick Tomy some talking about you 188 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.519 know, his time in Texas where they you know, one a National Championship 189 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.720 and Rose Bowl and he had two DARP Award winners and just uh, he 190 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.639 went He went into some some really great stories about his time here, why 191 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.440 he's here, why he's back. Uh and uh, well we'll do some 192 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.320 of that because we didn't feel like we could squeeze it in today. So 193 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.600 so, um, I don't know if you asked this, asked him this 194 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.240 taking us a whole old hughes. You might know he's like sixty seven. 195 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.120 He's sixty seven. Yeah, yeah, still a lot of energy. Well 196 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.080 we were laughing because I because we're standing there talking with him and him and 197 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.039 uh and Brian Jefferson. I said, I said, I said, Dwayne, 198 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.600 I say, you and I look we look gold. He said, 199 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.919 this guy right here pointed Bran Jeffs said, he doesn't. He looks like 200 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.000 he did last time you were here. No, I talked about all of 201 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.039 that. What we laughed about that.

This is I Am a book on Fox 266 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.359 Sports fourteen, the Welcome back to on the Ball. Here in Fox Sports 267 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.000 fourteen fifty, I'm Steve Rivera with Jackinsaws. We're trying to reach Brian. 268 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:42.359 He wanted to take a nap, so I think he's taken a nap. 269 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.960 Yeah, Brian Peterson from Easy Desertswarm dot Com. It's supposed to join us. 270 00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.640 But since we're let me see if I get ahold of trying to rouse 271 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.440 him, we'll we'll keep the discussion going. Um uh, you know, 272 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.240 Arizona fortunately has the quarterback. I guess that gives you makes you believe that 273 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.880 a lot of things is going to revolve around him and he's got to he's 274 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.240 got to be he's got to play well for Arizona would be good. So, 275 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:14.400 um, we talked to Jimmy Doherty, the quarterback coach, and just 276 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.359 to his thoughts on Jaden de Laura and um, you know, sort of 277 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.759 the expectations of him and also having the responsibility of kind of you know, 278 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.960 being the face of the team and leading the team. So, uh, 279 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:34.960 here's here's what uh what care what um uh uh Jimmy Doherty had to say 280 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:41.440 about Jaden de Laura. Um. I think no, it's in a great 281 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.839 spot, you know right now. I mean Braden just got here in the 282 00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:49.200 spring, you know, so he's still kind of gat he this is Jaden 283 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.480 development, you know, on the field and off the field. Um. 284 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.799 I think he's continuing on that process as a lot of us are. But 285 00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.839 it's a daily thing, you know. It's a daily thing where he's continuing 286 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:06.200 to mature and grow up and do all the things that we want him to 287 00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.799 do in this program. And uh it's been probably them so far with that. 288 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.759 But like I said, it's a it's daily process. When you're the 289 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:18.799 quarter starting quarterback of you know Power five team like Arison School like Arizona, 290 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.000 do you talk to that player about just sort of the responsibilities that you carry 291 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.880 on and off the fields. Yeah, of course. I mean a lot 292 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.279 of times it's the head coach and the quarterback, you know, are the 293 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:36.400 two faces of the program. Um so to speak, so uh and with 294 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:38.039 you know, we always talk about the power that comes with it is also 295 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:42.279 the responsibility that comes with that position. Um, you know, so it's 296 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.039 something every day that you have to accept. Uh, you know, I 297 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:48.400 kind of say, hey, it's what you signed up for, right as 298 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.920 a quarterback. It's you know, the good and the bad. You got 299 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.359 to take it all, you know. And you know, for Jaden, 300 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.000 like I said, and in all the quarterbacks, you know the understanding that 301 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.079 that's what you've taken up by being a quarterback. At the University of Arizona, 302 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:03.960 we expect a lot out of those guys. We ask a lot out 303 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:10.039 of them from a preparation standpoint, from a day to day just how they're 304 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:14.519 going about their work, how they're going about their school work, they're going 305 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:21.279 about their life us something that we talk about pretty much every day with them. 306 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:30.960 Mike, he's a clip over. The clip is over. Okay, 307 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.640 why were the three students here? The three students here? I'm like, 308 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:37.440 you need to turn off my mind. It was yeah, my bad, 309 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:40.960 Jason. I shouldn't have doubted the une what you were doing. All right, 310 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:42.960 we got we got Brian Peterson on the line. Uh, Colin. 311 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.200 Brian was at me to day to day, so I wanted to get him 312 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:48.599 as a guest to just get some of his impression. So so, Brian, 313 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.319 real quick, we went through this at the beginning of our show, 314 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.720 what our our impressions were. What was your main impression today? Um? 315 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:03.200 I think more than anything, just that it feels just like a regular program 316 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.039 again and not one where there was so much uncertainty and instability for so long, 317 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.440 and that it like previously felt like what are we doing here? And 318 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.119 even the first two years under Jed Fish it's like, well, you know, 319 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.079 is this really going to work? Like how is this work going? 320 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.960 And now it's just it feels normal again. I guess if that makes any 321 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:27.920 sense. So what was the last time it felt normal? I don't know, 322 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:33.799 maybe twenty seventeen. Yeah, d ch Rod's yeah, okay, So 323 00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.839 what were you most looking forward to today and did you accomplish it because you 324 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:42.200 know, we had a lot of access. Uh. Yeah, it's just 325 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:48.279 to kind of pick the brains of the coaches and players on more, to 326 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:53.039 pick out some some features to run during camp. Even though it's a weird 327 00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:59.960 situation because we're going to talk to all these coaches again during camp after practice 328 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.759 a certain practices and some of these same players, it's not all of them 329 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:08.119 are going to be available again, So you can't really ask too much about 330 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.319 like how are you going to play or what role you're gonna because they haven't 331 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.440 been out there on the field yet. So this was more to kind of 332 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:19.039 get an idea to what to know about them and how they're feelings looking forward 333 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:23.039 to stuff and maybe why they came there and all that and getting some anecdotal 334 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:29.880 information. But it's really more like a let's everybody just kind of say hello 335 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.680 again and the first day back at camp kind of thing. So since since 336 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:38.480 spring practice ended, you know, we obviously don't know what they've been doing 337 00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.839 all summer. I mean, we know they've been working out all that stuff, 338 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.000 but we don't see them, you know, all summer long. But 339 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.000 um, thinking about where they were at the end of spring practice, or 340 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:56.680 do you feel like there's any difference in expectations or difference in what you know, 341 00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.359 things that they got to work on, issues that they're going to have 342 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.640 whatever going into the fall. I mean, they've they've added some players since 343 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:07.599 then from the portal, a couple more defensive linemen, some players in the 344 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.680 secondary, which were necessary because you can never have too many of those, 345 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.279 and it's nice to be in a situation for them where you don't just look 346 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:19.319 at the roster and go, okay, these are going to be the guys 347 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:26.480 that are probably starting, and well after that there's actually uncertainty because there's options. 348 00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:30.400 It's not okay, well there's there's three linebackers on the roster, so 349 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.480 those will be the guys that are going to play. You actually will have 350 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:38.079 some position battles where you can have some decent backups and rotation and all that. 351 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:42.200 So it's nice to see on that. It's also promising to see that 352 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:45.680 Jordan Morgan is as far along as he is, so that you know, 353 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.839 it looks very realistic that he would start the opener against an Au in a 354 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:53.039 month, So it's nice to see that. But beyond that, I mean, 355 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:57.200 the summer for them was more about just staying in good shape, getting 356 00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:02.799 stronger. You can't really work on anything tactical. They'll they'll start installing that 357 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:07.359 year and uh, you know, tweak their their system based on the personnel 358 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.839 that they have and then who fits in it best. So who do you 359 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.640 think is going to be the breakout guy? They might have two or you 360 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:21.440 can listen too if you'd like, not named Jaden Delora well, he wouldn't 361 00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.559 be a breakout because he already was pitching out last I don't. On the 362 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.599 offensive side, I think, I mean, it's just kind of going to 363 00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:33.440 be the same as last year since you have so many good weaponds. Tanner 364 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.039 McLaughlin was a breakout guy last year, and I expect him to have another 365 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.240 good year. Mike Wiley just has shown how reliable and dependent dependable he is. 366 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:47.559 The other receivers that are back, Cowing and McMillan are super strong. 367 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.559 M if montan Alimonious Craig, the transfer from Colorado that came in after spring 368 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.359 practice. If he emerges as a really reliable third receiver, that would be 369 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:03.640 a great development. So would if the freshman offensive lineman that they slipped from 370 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.920 Alabama in February, Raymond Polido, if he ends up starting on the offensive 371 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.960 line, or at least playing a heavy rotation, that would be a really 372 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:17.000 good indication of not only how well they've done at recruiting, but they're able 373 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.799 to get these guys ready in only a few months because he was not part 374 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.599 of spring football. On the defensive side, there's just so many newcomers, 375 00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:33.640 and particularly ones who've been at other programs. If there's somebody that can really 376 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.079 stand out on the offense that excuse me, the defensive line and become a 377 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:42.880 real force, whether that be Taylor Upshaw from Michigan or Bill Norton from Georgia 378 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.079 or Manoah from Ucla, any of those guys that'd be great. Justin Flow 379 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.359 the linebacker at Oregon, if he could actually be the guy that he was 380 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.799 supposed to be coming out of high school, that would be incredible for them 381 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.599 to have. You know, maybe that next Scooby Rights h Colin schooler, 382 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.960 uh, you know, kind of all over the place linebacker would be great 383 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.880 too. I have this I don't I don't want I got it today, 384 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.799 but I just had this feeling that Michael Wiley it sort of holds the key 385 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.680 to all of it because while Jade Delora you may throw the ball all over 386 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.359 the field and for all these yards, you know, Michael, while I 387 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.960 think is gonna be a key. And then with the backups that they have 388 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.240 there, Jonah Coleman h the transfer the kid they transferred in from last year. 389 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.079 Um, I can't remember his name, but Williams. Yeah, I 390 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.799 just feel like Wiley is by coming back when the next three year. He's 391 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:37.960 a he's a year older. Talking to Scotty Graham today he talked about it 392 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.319 and he's a graduate student. He's just thinking about thinking about football. A 393 00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.039 lot of things out of the way. I feel like he could be somebody 394 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.720 that could kind of really difference, to make a huge difference for this team 395 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:55.200 if they can run there. Yeah, he said that he's getting his masters 396 00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:00.519 in football this year. Is how because he's graduated from Eller and be taking 397 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.519 some graduate classes. But in this final year, it's it's about just he 398 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.559 actually can focus. That he doesn't have so much on his plate b side 399 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.799 football that he can't think about it when he's away from the field. He 400 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.480 can actually, you know, study it and work on it beyond practice and 401 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.480 all that. And to think that he's done all this while feeling like he's 402 00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:23.279 had a lot on his plate and now he can be even more focused is 403 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:27.640 very exciting to see. And what makes him stand out is just such a 404 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.480 great ability not only to get the yards after contact when he's running the ball, 405 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.400 but being such a good pass catcher out of the backfield. He had 406 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.759 thirty something catches last year, which no arisona running back had had in at 407 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.359 least fifteen years. Yeah, the coach talked about that very heavily, so 408 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:48.440 Brian, I'm sure what your impression was a fish three years ago when he 409 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.880 was hired, But has your impression of him changed at all? What do 410 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:57.039 you what's your impression of him now? I mean, there was definitely a 411 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.559 lot of uncertainty, a lot of who is this guy kind of when when 412 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:06.400 it first came on. I'd like to joke that I think I pre wrote 413 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:10.079 about nine or ten different stories for people that they would hire, and he 414 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:15.880 was not one of them, which was frustrating from a journalistic standpoint. But 415 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:21.680 every step of the way while he's he's always talked a good game, but 416 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:26.480 so far he has backed it up about as good as you can for someone 417 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:29.680 who's never been a head coach, who's taken over a program. It was 418 00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:33.519 in the middle of a twenty game losing streak, and who has has all 419 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.880 these lofty goals and so far they're I mean to be where they are in 420 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.240 the third season. Yes, they haven't won a Bowl game or anything, 421 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:47.519 but they're getting five star kids to commit there, they're getting notable transfers to 422 00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:52.039 show up, They're getting players to choose to stay for another year rather than 423 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.920 go into the NFL draft. And even if that, you know, someone 424 00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:59.519 like Wiley or someone like Cowing, they might not have gotten drafted or drafted 425 00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:02.440 high, but they would have probably had a chance to play the fact that 426 00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:06.279 they want to come back and do that again, all that point to to 427 00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.960 what you've done there, that they actually want to be part of this and 428 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:12.880 not just use it as a means to an end. Yeah, that's all 429 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.000 good points. So let me ask you a question. I don't think I've 430 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.960 ever asked you, but I've asked the kids this. And sorry, Brian, 431 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.200 you're not a kid anymore. You're You're you a grad. You cover 432 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:26.240 this team and you've done it for a while now. Has the luster of 433 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.960 being a grad or worn off or I'm sure you kind of hope that they 434 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.440 do well or what? What? What is it when you cover this team? 435 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:37.440 I don't know. I've I've lived in this town for almost thirty years 436 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.039 now, and and you know, the U of A is just kind of 437 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:47.680 it's part of the fabric of the community and generally everybody wants to see that 438 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.440 program do well. When when it comes to covering the team, I mean 439 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.079 that team doing well is better than a team doing poorly. But more than 440 00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.559 anything, you just want something that's interesting sometimes is fun. I mean we 441 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.960 know that from the Sean Miller years that you know, that kept it interesting 442 00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:10.599 at the very least. And it's been interesting. I mean, there was 443 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.799 chaos and interestingness during the Kevin Sumlin era, but for the most part it 444 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.119 was like, well, let's see, you know what color the tire fire 445 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:23.920 is going to turn this time. But I mean, as far as being 446 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.720 an alum and any of that, it's you know, it's cool to tell 447 00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:32.119 people, uh, you know, family and friends when I'm out hanging out 448 00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:33.839 away from doing this. Oh yeah, I went there and then. But 449 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:38.400 beyond that, I mean, it really wouldn't matter who I'm covering. Yeah, 450 00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.559 overall, I think that. I mean, there was sort of a 451 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:48.440 buzz today, didn't you think. Yeah? Yeah, it also it didn't 452 00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:53.200 hurt that any You have all this the uncertainty of conference realignment and everything going 453 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:59.480 on as well, and the fact that Arizona is a team that is frankly 454 00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:06.039 wanted by two different conferences is a fun place to be in rather than being 455 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.880 like, for instance, Oregon State putting out a statement last week that they're 456 00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:13.039 committed to the Pac twelve, when I don't think anybody really cared whether or 457 00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:15.240 not they were committed to Pac twelve. That's not the case with Arizona. 458 00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:22.200 It's a it's a brand and it's a name and a athletic department that multiple 459 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:28.960 leagues deal would would fit well with them, and that that kind of football 460 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:30.640 is a part of that, you know. I mean, as much as 461 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.920 people are pointing out, you know, Colorado going to the Big twelve has 462 00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.759 changed a lot of stuff. Their football program has a lot of buzz right 463 00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.400 now because of Beon Sanders, but they still haven't done anything about it. 464 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.400 So it is weird that that the Big twelve is picking up this program that 465 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:51.759 isn't really that good in anything right now. So what are we making a 466 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.519 road trip to fall Gallen? Oh gosh, well that could be this next 467 00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.240 year. But I mean we also may have the road trip to Orlando for 468 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:06.359 you know, a random Tuesday night basketball game against UFC Central Florida. Yeah, 469 00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:08.079 no, that ain't happening. Chace will be on that one. Hey 470 00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:13.160 Brian, thanks, No, I ain't doing that either. Happiest place my 471 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.079 butt, Okay, yeah, take thank you. Brian for coming out. 472 00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:22.319 Go back to taking that. Taking that right, man, is the happiest 473 00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.759 place. I love Disneyland, have you what was the last one? I 474 00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:30.640 was your ticket prices? Now they gotta save the ESPN the Disneyland for my 475 00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.960 sixtieth birthday, your sixtieth. Yeah, how was that a great time? 476 00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.960 Oh? Good for you? The roller coaster and everything. You haven't walked 477 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.960 so much since. Probably, you know, I get the old psiatic against 478 00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.799 the screaming. Let's take a break, all right, let's take our last 479 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.200 break. When to come back? More stuff from arizon A Football Media Day. 480 00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.240 If you're an Arizona Man's basketball fan, you know it's been successful for 481 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.799 nearly forty years. Now take a look back at the Ludolson era. In 482 00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:58.319 my new book, Lessons from Loot, it was a labor of love to 483 00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.279 the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches and friends to give insight to 484 00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.680 the coach and the men who led them, competed against them, and inspired 485 00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:08.639 them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach. 486 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.719 Lessons from newt is an insight to how he built the program into a national 487 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:19.440 powerhouse.

Streaming live I Mean I Heart Radio AM This 530 00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:35.679 is I on the Ball with Steve Ribera and Jay Gonzalez on Fox Sports fourteen 531 00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.239 fifteen. Hey, welcome back to Why the Bar here Fox Sports fourteen fifty. 532 00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:44.639 I'm Steve, He's Ja Ja Jason, and we've got our guys Jason 533 00:37:44.679 --> 00:37:46.760 here with us fourteen minutes to call us. If you'd like to call us, 534 00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:49.800 just chime in. We're still going to do some clip right. We 535 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:51.760 got a few more clips we want to play today. It looks like we're 536 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:55.360 gonna have some stuff left over to tomorrow. But we were talking about the 537 00:37:57.159 --> 00:38:00.679 quarterbacks and well talk about Jane Delora. But now we want to play a 538 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:06.400 clip where Jimmy Dorty, the quarterback coach, talks about the other quarterbacks and 539 00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.800 the expectations for those guys. And you know, I brought up the idea 540 00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:14.039 of, you know, how do you manage expectations when you know you're in 541 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:17.800 a time where a quarterback comes to school and doesn't start, he can leave. 542 00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.760 So there's a little bit of both of that in this response from Jimmy 543 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:27.599 Dorty. Um, I think Noah's in a great spot, you know right 544 00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:29.559 now. I mean Braden just got here in the spring, you know, 545 00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.159 so he's still kind of getting used to everything, but it'll be exciting to 546 00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:36.079 see him this fall camp, see the strides he's made over the summer. 547 00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.199 But Noah's in a great spot. You know, Noah's um done a great 548 00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:43.239 job up to this point in his career of putting himself in a great position. 549 00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:47.559 Very smart, very intelligent football player that has really good command of the 550 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:51.360 offense. So excited to see what he can do this camp. But I 551 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:53.840 think he has a leg up right now in that spot. How do you 552 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.400 manage expectations for quarterbacks like that? I mean, especially in the time where 553 00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.360 guys can come and go as a please. You've got three good, really 554 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.960 good guys in camp, you got another one on the way. How do 555 00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:07.199 you manage what their expectations should be when they get here, but when they're 556 00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:10.599 working out with you? Kind Yeah, I mean that's a good question. 557 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:15.519 I think you always got to focus on, you know, handling what you 558 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.639 can control. You know, do do what you can handle your own self, 559 00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:24.079 you know, go about your process and don't worry about looking at other 560 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:28.239 guys or trying to size yourself up against the other quarterbacks or whatnot. Just 561 00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:30.920 focus on going out there and playing really good football, you know, executing 562 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:35.360 the one play at the time. Mentality going out there and doing that and 563 00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:37.159 if you do that, you're gonna play good and good things are gonna happen. 564 00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:43.480 Okay, I'm gonna probably use some of that my story on Dolora down 565 00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.559 the Road. I mean, one thing that wasn't brought up was the was 566 00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:52.079 this situation legal situation kind of to ask not to ask, right? And 567 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:55.199 I just people didn't, I know I didn't. We kind of went there 568 00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:59.079 in a little way. Well you have that clip. You probably this a 569 00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.199 clip you're gonna hear where we talked about. And I asked him, you're 570 00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:06.599 probably were looking really forward to the to the season because you know it kind 571 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:09.519 of maybe gets your mind off. Yes, exactly, that's what I Yeah, 572 00:40:09.519 --> 00:40:13.519 you asked the question. I think I played the question. Here's what 573 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:15.880 Da Doloran is saying. How much are you looking forward to the season just 574 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:21.280 to kind of move forward and move forward? Oh? I'm excited, man, 575 00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:23.760 especially going in with this group of teams, this group of guys on 576 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:29.440 this team. Um, I just feel like this is the closest team I've 577 00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.000 ever been a part of. And that's no like shot to any other team 578 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:34.920 I've been a part of, but I feel like everybody has the same goal 579 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:40.360 in mind. Everybody has the same aspirations and everybody has the same um um 580 00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.920 dedication to work, and so I'm sure their support for you was been comforting 581 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.440 too. Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, No, they've been good. 582 00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:50.719 Um. You know, I had a meeting with the leadership guys, 583 00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:54.320 kind of talk to them about everything, um, and you know, they 584 00:40:54.440 --> 00:40:59.039 kind of just related message to everybody else a lot for ourselves. Coach had 585 00:40:59.039 --> 00:41:04.559 already talked about just your responsibility on the field, but you know off the 586 00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:07.239 field as a leader on this team and all that kind of stuff. And 587 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:09.320 there's other guys who do that as well. You know, you're the quarterback 588 00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:14.880 and you have to have that expectation. How do you deal with that or 589 00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:20.559 how does that sit with you? Um? No, it's it's a task 590 00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:23.039 I like. So to avoid everybody from going out, I had to come 591 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.079 over to my house, um and we just hang out my house. I 592 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.159 got a PlayStation at an x ball because so we can have two systems run 593 00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:34.119 at the same time, or we'll just sit down listen to music, talk 594 00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:37.400 football. But I try to not really talk football off the field because we 595 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.519 just do that so much, and we just talk about everybody's personal life and 596 00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:45.880 everything. So do you take are you Are you doing that because you pick 597 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.719 that up from somebody else or is that just what feels right from you? 598 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.639 I would say it just feels right, you know, just to know that 599 00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:55.360 he's late at night and these guys are at my house rather than somewhere outside, 600 00:41:55.760 --> 00:42:02.440 you know what I mean. So, um, do you after having 601 00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:07.239 talked to him now because it's a person, does any different how you feel 602 00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:13.360 about him? Um? Well, I don't like what happened, right, 603 00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.679 I feel like you and I feel like but you know, I'm not. 604 00:42:16.880 --> 00:42:21.320 I'm not to the point of James who called in and said I'm not gonna 605 00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:23.320 follow this team because of that, and I understand. Um, you know, 606 00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:30.880 look, he's been given a second chance, and so we can sit 607 00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:32.800 here and be pissed about it and fight about it and be upset about it 608 00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:37.039 or whatever. But he's been given a second chance. And so the question 609 00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:39.440 is, now, what do you do with that second chance? Right? 610 00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:43.960 If he screws up again, well then you know then not now we know 611 00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:45.519 who he is. If he doesn't screw up again, then you feel like, 612 00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:50.239 okay, the second chance he was worthy of that, And so, 613 00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:53.079 um do I look at him differently. Yeah, I'm gonna say I do. 614 00:42:54.079 --> 00:43:00.519 Um, you know, just just in in a way that he's uh, 615 00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.079 he's he's done. He's done some stuff that you're not happy about. 616 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:09.679 Right, He's done some stuff that that you feel like, you know, 617 00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:14.199 regardless of whether he pled guilty to a crime or didn't plead guilty to a 618 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:17.760 crime or whatever, something happened, it was bad, there was a court 619 00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:24.119 case, it got settled, so there's something there, and you know you'd 620 00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:30.079 rather that not be a part of his of his situation. Yeah, here 621 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.280 of his character. Hi, you're on the R and I on the ball. 622 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:37.800 How's it going today? What's up Ryan? Well, I'll hopefully were 623 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.760 in the Big twelve by the end of the week, but I don't know 624 00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:45.440 if it'll happened that fast. But I want I wanted to comment on that 625 00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:51.079 Dolora thing. Yes, okay, Um, what do we don't know exactly 626 00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:55.840 what happened. Okay, but it went through the legal process, and you 627 00:43:55.960 --> 00:44:00.239 know, I'm I'm not real crazy about, you know, any thing that 628 00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.039 would happen in that manner. I think it's terrible. But also in the 629 00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:10.199 same sense, if someone did something and it's been adjudicated. You need to 630 00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:16.000 go on with your life, and everybody deserves that chance. I And that's 631 00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:20.519 the thing. Now, I agree with that, So I'm not I'm not 632 00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:23.119 opposed to him being here. I don't know, Steve if if if you 633 00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:29.639 are um you know, but I do look at him differently, you know, 634 00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:32.599 Yeah, do you wish this hadn't happen? I wish this happen. 635 00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:37.119 You hadn't happened for everybody too? Is you know, we can't say, 636 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.119 you know, this guy doesn't deserve a chance to continue with his life after 637 00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:45.440 what what We don't know exactly what happened happened. You know, the thing 638 00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:51.119 was settled, u u joie, and the court agreed to the settlement, 639 00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:54.639 and you move on with life. It's like if anybody goes to jail, 640 00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:58.920 because they went to jail, doesn't mean they can't do anything else in the 641 00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.119 rest of their life, right, So, Brun, how big of a 642 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:06.440 fan are you football? You way? Football? Football? Not that much? 643 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:09.559 So it doesn't impact you whether you're gonna watch the game, pull for 644 00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:15.079 the UVA or anything like that. Not at all, Okay, not at 645 00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:19.119 all. Okay. I would still be a fan equally as I am today 646 00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:22.199 as I prior to what I heard, what happened, or what we think 647 00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:29.119 happened. Yeah, I'm more of a I'm more of a basketball and baseball 648 00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.840 person. All right, Okay, well thank you Bran, Hey, Bryan, 649 00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:36.800 thanks so much, Man, Thanks thanks for listening. Cool.

Yeah, and so let's let's play the clip on on Cowing 653 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:54.519 twenty six. We got these numbers just for those not there. I think 654 00:45:54.760 --> 00:45:58.400 just how I felt when I first made the decision. I want to come 655 00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:00.840 back to make an impact with him like com in. Also, you know, 656 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:05.320 spend and cherished my last year of college football with the guys that um, 657 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:07.960 you know I was here with last year and try and really turn this 658 00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:10.000 program around. That's really one of my number one focus. It was just 659 00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:14.280 you know, kind of filled out my time here, not leave any time 660 00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:16.480 wasted on the table, and actually kind of just enjoy each and every moment 661 00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:21.119 that I have until you know the clock win's out. Can ask you what 662 00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:24.519 what did you think when Dorian left? Um? Honestly, I mean I'm 663 00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:27.440 not. I don't think too much about that. I mean, he did 664 00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:29.239 what's best for him. I mean, at the end of the day, 665 00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:31.800 that's his that's his opinion, that's his mindset. That's cool. I mean 666 00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:35.320 we still got a old team that we got to focus on, and that's 667 00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:37.840 what my focus is, trying to get the team better each and every day 668 00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:40.320 and you know, try and get to that Pactol championship that everyone else on 669 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:45.880 this team. As far as it goes to asked coach Cummings about your your 670 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.039 role as a veteran on this team and like that. I mean you've been 671 00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:53.280 around longer than you know all the other guys. Do you accept that role 672 00:46:53.360 --> 00:46:55.360 and what do you try to do with that? In terms? Yeah, 673 00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:59.159 I mean for me, I don't think I had to play a certain role. 674 00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:02.679 I think it's just if you can carry these certain characteristics as being a 675 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:07.119 good teammate, um, not lying to your teammates, and always just be 676 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:10.000 responsible and accountable. Man. I think that that goes along for like a 677 00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:14.360 long ways instead of just being, you know, just playing a certain role. 678 00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:17.239 I think if you carry those certain characteristics along with your life, I 679 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:22.519 think they even goes very far. In life. So let me guess here 680 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.599 and in somebody that's light. Um, I would assume that he's your probably 681 00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:31.079 your favorite player this year. No really, I'm gonna go Michael Wiley. 682 00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:37.039 No no, no, no, that's swimming, Michael Jacob Yeah yeah, 683 00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:42.480 no, no, yeah, I'm I there's this piece of me that just 684 00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.039 think Michael Wiley is gonna go on. Yeah, that's what I meant to 685 00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:47.280 see you. I think I think he's gonna go on because one, you 686 00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:52.000 know, most of the players, you know, he would have used up 687 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:57.199 his eligibility and left. So he's here another year older. He's probably pretty 688 00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:02.000 he's not. He didn't come here to just slack and um, you know, 689 00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:06.599 just playing another year college football and just kind of give it a half 690 00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:09.000 assed effort. I think he's here to make a statement. He wants to 691 00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:13.079 be an NFL running back. As you said, he said he's majoring in 692 00:48:13.159 --> 00:48:19.320 football. He's here too to to you know, to get prepared for their 693 00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:24.159 an opportunity for a next step. I think physically he's he's got the capability 694 00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:27.840 to do that from a from a physical stampoint. Actually, let's play this 695 00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:36.159 clip from from uh uh Scotty Graham number nineteen. James talking about Michael Wiley 696 00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:43.760 here everything from leadership, um, looking forward to growing and push him hard 697 00:48:43.840 --> 00:48:46.039 this year. I hard an never pushed before. He knows that, Um, 698 00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:49.719 he's gonna be really good and when a problem. Mike is a human 699 00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:52.800 v he's really development to a leader, um, not just a vocal leader. 700 00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:54.199 Was sentenced. He's by an example, you know, in a weight 701 00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:59.280 room and obviously academically graduated already, which is something that's really cool. You 702 00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:00.679 know, he's in grad school. So for him, he's putting himself in 703 00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:04.760 a great position and have a great scene year to continue leading the team. 704 00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.079 And he's gonna leave legacy that you probably one of the better players that have 705 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.400 played it. And he got Trug obviously and a couple other guys that are, 706 00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:15.880 but Mike's never really gotten that statistics that we share time and and he's 707 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.840 wanted to one of selfless people that I know. I got a good room 708 00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:22.039 man. I'm excited about my room. So we can have a guy like 709 00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:23.719 that. But then you've also got some other guys who can who can do 710 00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:27.960 really well. How do you manage expectations for those guys? How do you 711 00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.239 you know? How how did they understand what you're trying to do? What 712 00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:36.639 stars day one running back strong together when everybody is running play to do something 713 00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:39.400 that's gonna help us. Um you know, Speedy Hit was developing a role 714 00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:43.360 last year and then he got banged up. You know, Jonah played when 715 00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:45.840 Mike was banged up. DJ played, So they all know they're gonna get 716 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:46.960 an opportunity. And the last thing you do us, you know, not 717 00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:51.360 be prepared. And that's the whole thing for me is make sure you're prepared 718 00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:54.400 because you never know when and how your opportunities are gonna come. One of 719 00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:59.360 the questions I was asked for coach for Carol is that it seems like Michael's 720 00:49:59.480 --> 00:50:00.800 kind of been to the radar a little bit. You know, mean, 721 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.920 he had he had this huge game again, say it's Hugh last you know, 722 00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:07.559 at the end of last year. But he's still kind of you know, 723 00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:12.039 he's not getting maybe some of the preseason attention that probably he deserves. 724 00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:15.280 How do you why do you think that isn't how do you deal with that 725 00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:17.960 or feel feel about it or I don't care about I don't deal with it. 726 00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:21.440 Mike, while he was fine, he's a hell of a football player, 727 00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:30.840 I know. All right. So so I don't know how you feel 728 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:35.599 about Scotty Graham, but he's impressive as all. He really is. I 729 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:38.880 mean, he's got an NFL background, Yeah, well state guy. You 730 00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:43.880 know, I follow him on social media. He's always got motivational stuff to 731 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:47.960 say. Um, and I could see that. I could see that Scotty 732 00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:52.440 Graham might have been a reason why Michael Wild he decided to come back because 733 00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:54.559 he felt like he's going to get coached by a guy who's playing in the 734 00:50:54.679 --> 00:51:00.199 NFL, um who knows the ropes and is going to help him get there. 735 00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:04.079 And because of that, I think Michael Wiley is gonna be really really 736 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.639 damn good this year. And you know, he's got guys to back him 737 00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:08.679 up. He doesn't have to be in there. And every play he goes 738 00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:10.559 on to say, later in this thing and we got to get out of 739 00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:14.559 here that, you know. I asked him why what makes him an NFL 740 00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:16.159 running backs? Asked him, is he an evil rummack? He said, 741 00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:19.760 yeah, he is, he said, because he can do everything right. 742 00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:22.679 He can block, he can catch, he can run, you know, 743 00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:24.840 he can run routes. You can put him as a wide receiver. Um, 744 00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:30.760 he'll do everything. There'sn't there isn't any thing that he's got any situation 745 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:32.559 where he's got to be the guy that comes off the field because he can. 746 00:51:32.719 --> 00:51:36.480 He's good for every situation. Right. And that's when I asked, 747 00:51:36.679 --> 00:51:38.400 because I kind of sense that's what we gotta go that he was probably your 748 00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:43.400 favorite player this year. My favorite player was not there today. Uh, 749 00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:47.679 team, which I think obviously those two are gonna have fantastic years if they 750 00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:52.280 don't get right and to hear to hear, uh Brendon Carroll say, the 751 00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:53.760 team. Mack has changed his body. And I thought he had a pretty 752 00:51:53.760 --> 00:51:58.800 good body already because he was long and and and fast. We'll see how 753 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.840 that goes. Hey, we'll do some more this tomorrow. We've got a 754 00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:06.119 lot of clips left for tomorrow, including storytimeing from Duayne Aquina. We'll do 755 00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:08.119 all that. Nothing coming out of the Border Regions meetings, we've got nothing 756 00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:10.679 for you on that, but baby, by tomorrow we'll have something. So 757 00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:14.199 we're out here and we'll be back tomorrow
