Everybody you want to call in, please do. 9 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.679 That's a lot of fun for us to hear from you, guys. Five 10 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:42.560 two o four four one six seventy four forty kind of have you checked the 11 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.159 roster? Did you? Did you purpose check the roster when you asked for 12 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.240 the roster? No? No, I was just checking because I was just 13 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.799 checking something for one of our breaking news. Oh okay, because yesterday we 14 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:57.240 kind of fell into something, right, we were talking about deep because yeah, 15 00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.640 I said, you know, hey, let's talk about I said the 16 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.840 kid I couldn't remember the Johnson guy, Yeah, Johnson. And then somebody 17 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.799 said Harris. Yeah, so the Harris kid, right, former the son 18 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.280 of the former, and Harris and his brother had just come played here, 19 00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:11.719 right, And I said that, well, what's up with him? How 20 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.200 come he he hasn't been playing? Well, he's the third string guy. 21 00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.040 Right then we come to find out you checked to see I was looking for 22 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.400 respects and stuff, and he's not on the rocks and not on the roster. 23 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.599 And then he's not on the roster. So we talked a couple of 24 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.480 text a couple of people. People checked out, and uh lo and behold 25 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.120 the go as. You can't pushed to something that he's not on the roster, 26 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.560 and nobody was talking about it, you know. And and actually you 27 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.000 know when I went when I went looking for him on the roster, I 28 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.920 just looked at the roster and he wasn't there. So then I googled his 29 00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.640 name, and you know, his page that's supposed to be comes up, 30 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.319 and you get that page you're looking for no longer example. Yeah, so 31 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.439 he has gone, right, I couldn't remember. And you know how this 32 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.400 is, I don't know. You don't like recruiting, right, you don't 33 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.599 like recruiting, never have neither of I and it's because of this and no, 34 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.079 this Harris is just an example, because they get all these guys, 35 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.120 great guys, great kids, three star, four stars, you know, 36 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.840 in a zone and everybody has hope and not just just just an example. 37 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.560 They come here and everyone's excited because he's son and he had he had and 38 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.000 then he doesn't pan out right or just doesn't work right. So all that 39 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.840 excitement means nothing. It means nothing. And then there's also the you know, 40 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.439 the pressure on the kid, right. I'm sure he transferred here from 41 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:28.680 Colorado. I'm sure he came here not thinking that he was going to get, 42 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.400 you know, extra consideration because he was Sean Harris's kid. But just 43 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.360 that you know, he's playing where his dad played, his dad has you 44 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.240 know, has a legacy here, and his brother played and his brother his 45 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.840 brother was here too. Does that put pressure on the kid? You know? 46 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:45.159 Does he maybe not perform the way he would if he was at some 47 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.560 school where nobody really knew where he was and he could just play, you 48 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.719 know, And so it's unfortunate, but you know, it sounds like he's 49 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.680 gone. So it's like, I mean, look, he's a physical specimen. 50 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.599 He's he's an athlete. He can play football somewhere. The question is 51 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.719 where would that be. Yeah, so, and it kind of goes to 52 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.319 show you the quality of player Arizona's chasing now, right, Arizona was real 53 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.919 happy to get him when they got it. Sure, and now he doesn't 54 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.759 really fit there really isn't a place for it, or you can't beat out 55 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.719 the guys he just bought in, Right, So it's just well, good 56 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:21.560 luck to good luck to him. We haven't nothing official obviously, but he's 57 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.159 not on the website or he's not probably probably won't hear anything till we have. 58 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.520 Our next press conference will be Monday. They gave us our schedule. 59 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.599 Man, that's gonna be tight for us. By the way, Monday press 60 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:37.520 conferences for Jetfish are one thirty The only last about half twenty minutes through him. 61 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.479 Yeah, but by the time we get to the studio cut clips, 62 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.800 we're gonna be rushing to get get the news conference stuff on our show. 63 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.280 But what we'll do it, we'll get it done, right. Okay. 64 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.479 So there's that and so much more. There's one it's we're kind of dark 65 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.360 from them this week, right, Well, availability and availability this week we 66 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.840 won't get again jet to Monday. The schedule, we'll get the coordinators on 67 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:06.000 Tuesdays. They will get jed one more time on Thursday. Yeah, okay, 68 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.479 so we'll see what happens. Yeah, okay, what else is going 69 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.199 on? Anything else going on? Volleyball starts in earnest and the soccer has 70 00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.000 already started a little stuff. I was I was gonna hold this for breaking 71 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.319 news, but since we're here, apparently cal Stanford are back on the table 72 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:28.680 for the ACCY. They've opened the discussions again. Also, throwing in SMU 73 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.000 might be a possibility, So there might be fifteen. They might get to, 74 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.160 uh, eighteen teams because they've got fifteen right now, well fifteen County 75 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.560 Notre Dame. You know, Notre Dame is not quote unquote in the league 76 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.399 to win a championship. But they have like an agreement. They play games 77 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.360 in the league. They have a vote on whether or not a team can 78 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.360 join the league. The last time they held a strap hole on this, 79 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.920 uh, they needed they need twelve out of fifteen to to approve a new 80 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.319 you know expansion. They got eleven votes and the votes they didn't get were 81 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:05.800 Clemson, North Carolina and North Carolina State, and I can't remember who the 82 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:10.959 other one is. Yeah, but there were four. So they sounds like 83 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.279 you're just reading between the lines that they may have flipped one or on the 84 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.879 verge of flipping one to get these guys guys in the league. Then if 85 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.839 that happens, then the PAC twelve is really dead because the only thing left 86 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.759 would be Oregon State Washington State, because as of now, were the latest 87 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:31.319 we heard on them was that the cal Stanford organ State, Washington Stay. 88 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.519 We're gonna trying to figure out a way to rebuild the league. You don't 89 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.519 bring some more teams, it's gonna be tough. But if if those guys, 90 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.160 you know, high tail it for the ACC, that's it. The 91 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.439 PAC twelve is dead. Sell your heb you got a lot of PAC tw 92 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.439 ten and twelve stuff coming your way. Yeah, some interesting comments today. 93 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.399 You know, I watched stan Patrick every day. They're in they're in uh, 94 00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.959 they're in Dublin this week because they're gonna they're there for the Dame Navy 95 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.439 Games. So they're doing their show from Dublin, which is kind of weird. 96 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.319 It's four in the afternoon over there when it's over here. But anyways, 97 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.879 they because it's no over dame stuff. They had Jack Swarbrick, the 98 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.279 athletic director at no order dame. So, okay, you see that part. 99 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.680 He got into the conversation. They said, you know, what do 100 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.680 you you know? They ask, what do you think of what's happened? 101 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.959 Uh, you know college athletics and Swarbrick didn't he make He didn't men Sworties. 102 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.759 He called it a complete disaster. Yeah, and then he said everybody's 103 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.319 to blame. He said, you know what, you want to blame anyone 104 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.360 of a number of people. You want to blame the schools, You want 105 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.519 to blame the networks, you want to blame conference commissioners, or you want 106 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.360 to blame whatever. He said, We are all to blame. He said, 107 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:45.680 me included. So let me ask you what what's the bad part of 108 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.240 it? Okay, So Twiline for what the expansion for the payments for it? 109 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.360 Is it right here? He said? This is what I say. 110 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.480 He said, everybody in the industry has to take responsibility here. I'm not 111 00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.160 excluding myself from that. The decision making lost its way in terms of the 112 00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.160 focus on the student athlete and what's primarily best for them. But we are 113 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.079 where we are and we have to try and make cocually said, they lost 114 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.480 sight of the fact that this is college athletics and it should be about the 115 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.759 athlete. Okay, but if you ask the student athletes, now give me 116 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:19.800 Caleb Williams or or those guys, do you think they'd say the same thing, 117 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.399 given that they're getting a lot of money. Well, both the football 118 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.639 players and basketball players are okay with it because the travel and all and the 119 00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.120 money that you know, the travel is not a big deal to them because 120 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.439 they charter. The money is great for them. They're happy with it. 121 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.040 But what about Jordan guys, Yeah, so you're talking. You know, 122 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.480 we talked when we talked to so they you know, the football teams and 123 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.480 the basketball teams make up a small percentage of the overall number of athletes. 124 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.480 So it's this little group of people that are going to be okay. You've 125 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:54.000 got this big group of athletes and programs that are not going to be okay 126 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.560 with this. And he's basically saying, we lost our way. Yeah, 127 00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.879 heyah, the person who's going to try to call in, please call in, 128 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.120 because we're just talking. We're not paying attention to the phone. Just 129 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.800 give us a call and keep an eyeway. Have f minutes. No, 130 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.680 okay, so let's assume that's maybe twenty percent of the total population of the 131 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.439 student athletes. They didn't know this when this first started, and before they're 132 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.319 ever thinking about payment. I'm thinking it's never gonna work for one reason, 133 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.800 and this is probably wrong. If you're gonna pay the guys, you have 134 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.639 to everybody. You have to pay everybody. Where are they going to get 135 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.759 the money from? Well, exactly exactly? And I guess they found the 136 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.279 solution, but it's not great. It's not a good solution. Yeah, 137 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.679 we have a caller. Y're on the air and I on the ball. 138 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.519 Hey, Jay, I see it for Richard. How you doing fine? 139 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:41.159 Thanks for calling Richards. Hey, something's got to be done about this running 140 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.600 back thing. Oh, the running backs in America are getting ripped off. 141 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.080 You know, just one running back in the backfield is a rip off. 142 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.440 I mean, Jon, I think it's the first first round running back to 143 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.639 go on quite a while. So I really think we need to require teams 144 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.679 that have two running back acts in the backfield at all time. You know, 145 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.279 you can still put them out there as a receiver, as a flanker. 146 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.200 But you need two running backs in the backfield at the same time. 147 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.120 If you score a touchdown running for twenty yards out, you get an extra 148 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:20.519 point. If your office score runs up, if you get two hundred and 149 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.519 fifty or sixty yards rushing, you get an extra two points. You know, 150 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.440 if you're running the wishbone offense, you score a touchdown, you get 151 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.559 eight points for something like that. I mean, this is ridiculous. The 152 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.399 best football players are sitting on the bench in many cases. Richard, you 153 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:45.480 are another commissioner of the XFL. I want to be like the commissioner of 154 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.120 the four point shot at the NBA. Richard, just just think of all 155 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.519 the all the stuff that all the all the hoops and the and the and 156 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.000 the opposition to taking away the shift in baseball, it's kind of simple. 157 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.480 It's like to to mandate how you play the game. That's gonna be a 158 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.679 little tough. But I hear you, I understand. I understand the problem. 159 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.720 I'm saying that you've got to have two running backs in the backfield. 160 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.159 I'm not telling you you can't pass the football if you can pass it to 161 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.240 a running back. But let's face it, football was made to be a 162 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.559 power game of running. And those were the most powerful running teams are running 163 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.720 games. They won the games. Near we invented the forward pass, and 164 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:30.720 then it got out of control and now it's the great equalizer. And you 165 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.120 know it's ridiculous. But the running backs are being ripped off. That's all 166 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.879 I'm saying. I mean, yeah, I hear you, I hear they're. 167 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.000 Yeah, they're they're they're undervalue, all right, Richard. Sounds like 168 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.720 a call from I know that will happen, but it sounds like a call 169 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:54.360 from a guy from Oklahoma exactly that whist going against David Adams running the hand, 170 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.679 David Adams looking for exactly he could have been a great Wishball running back. 171 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:07.720 I'm on with Freddy Shams here. You know, it's I mean that 172 00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.679 that is an issue, but it's a matter of how do you how do 173 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.399 you fix that? Right? You know that, how do you fix that? 174 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:18.960 Again? I mean, really I liked it when he said that. 175 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:24.440 My first thought was the shift in baseball. You know, baseball found a 176 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.240 strategy that that worked for them. They were using it and then people said 177 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.559 it's wrecking the game, so they took it away. The summer kind of 178 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.600 thing. The shift I thought, I do think it was because it's it's 179 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.679 all your analytics. This guy hits it night percent of the time to the 180 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.039 left side. Right. It became so hard to get a base hit that 181 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.159 people just started hitting sweet. It was either home run or strike out. 182 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.519 I do think it was wrecking the game. Look, and the fix was 183 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.080 not a horrible fix. They're still lining up a dean fielder right up the 184 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.399 gut. You know, when you're watching a baseball game and you're you know, 185 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.200 you've got the shot from behind the picture and the ball goes up the 186 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.559 middle where it was not it was a hit. Every time there's a there's 187 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.799 almost always a guy that it's not a hit anymore. That's scouting. I 188 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.159 mean, that's scouting, you know, And that's okay if if you want, 189 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.480 if you want to do that, fine, But the way they were 190 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.879 doing it where they were head, you know, just two guys on the 191 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.000 left side, everybody else to the right that I think that was wrecking the 192 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.159 game. Yeah, no, I I hear you, like you know. 193 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.799 As far as the running back, I mean, well, I thought he 194 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.879 was gonna say because they're not being valued, well, but they're not and 195 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.879 that's that's it, and and that in a way, that's his point is 196 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:35.279 that because you don't have running backs are no longer important. So a guy 197 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.320 like b Jean Robinson or Bijean Robinson, you know he's gonna play what three 198 00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.519 three four years? Look at his career right very quickly. You know he 199 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.840 might not get to a second contract. I hate to say that, but 200 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.519 he you know, he's got a three year contract. That's a rookie contract. 201 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:52.559 At the end of those three years, if they beat the hell out 202 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.240 of him, okay, we'll go get another guy. So well, look 203 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.960 what the NBA has turned into. Used to be back to the basket big 204 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.480 man and you move the ball around and you score. Now it's it's not 205 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.879 doesn't resemble anything you get. You get a guy with the ability of DeAndre 206 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.320 Ayton and he's just kind of a third or fourth guy on the team. 207 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.919 He's worthless and us he can't throw, you know, shoot the three. 208 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.440 All the sports are like this, and it's it gets back to analytics and 209 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:24.039 every sport. You know that there's so much there's so much information in every 210 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.639 sport. People are figuring out way the best ways to do things. I 211 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.799 blame Steve Kerr. He's win the change the game. I love the way 212 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.320 they play. It's it's I love the way they play. It's basketball. 213 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.000 Arizona is a is a mini Golden State. They move the ball, must 214 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.279 run around, get the ball where it's supposed to be, get a rebound, 215 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.639 and go to the other side to throw up a shot. Would you 216 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.879 prefer that over Sean's office? No, no, no, no, you 217 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.960 wouldn't. Well you'd prefer yes, Yeah, I'm totally preferred over Shant. 218 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.639 Would more enjoyable to watch. It's way fun to watch it. I had 219 00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.600 fun watching their game in Israel because the way they were running up and down 220 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.759 the floor. Because against a terrible team, but when you saw the way 221 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.039 they were playing, and that was entertaining to watch them do what they do. 222 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.320 That's fun about Its changed nothing. They're saying, the same team they're 223 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.960 doing and you know, they bring in you guys, they plug them in 224 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.480 and they're doing the same thing all over again. And I guess I'm having 225 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:20.840 a problem with that. But I think it's a little I hear I hear 226 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.799 chard Richard is saying about the running back. But you know, I sure 227 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:30.399 had fun watching rich Rod throw sling the ball all over the field for four 228 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.840 for five seasons. You know, get the ball, roll it down, 229 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:35.879 score in thirty seconds to come back and play some defense. I had fun 230 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.240 watching that and so but I get it. You know when you see guys, 231 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.039 a guy like Ezekiel Elliott who was all everything for however many years, 232 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.159 and all of a sudden he can't find a place to play. He did 233 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.360 get signed, but how much is he really going to play? So no, 234 00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.639 I I hear it. It's a I don't know that you can mandate 235 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.919 any change in that thought. All right, let's take a break. We're 236 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.840 gonna come back.

This is I on the 314 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:56.279 Ball with Steve Rivera and Jacob Salaz on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. Hey, 315 00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:59.880 welcome back to One on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty on stew 316 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.119 very he's chickens also, And now I would if we have Brian Howell from 317 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.200 the Boulder Dandy camera. Brian, how are you doing? I'm good. 318 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.759 How are you guys going? We're fine. I wanted to we wanted to 319 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.160 check into you see if you're still alive one and now things are going. 320 00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.240 But I had a specific question. I saw a press conference maybe ten days 321 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:21.079 ago, and Dion looks are think in your direction and talk to you when 322 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.920 you have a conversation and says you did something and he didn't like or something. 323 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.119 No, it was well, it was the day before that press stopperence 324 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:37.160 a former call out a quarterback who was now at Miami's Ohio and tweeted out 325 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.680 that he got his waiver denied to be able to play this year to the 326 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:45.160 second time transfer, and so I kind of quote tweeted that instead that you 327 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.160 know, if they're going to allow coaches to new coaches to get rid of 328 00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:53.200 players, they had to allow those players to play immediately. And a whole 329 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.279 bunch of people thought that I was thinking a shot at coach Prime. I 330 00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.400 came back and said, this is nothing about coach Prime or even the guy. 331 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.079 I'm just making a statement about the answer of LA And so Coach Bryan 332 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.759 looked at me and when I went to ask the question and said, you've 333 00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:11.799 been involved in some controversy. How do you like it? You how I 334 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.799 feel every day? So you know that's really what was And yeah, okay, 335 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:21.920 well so you know, I fair you said you still really haven't had 336 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.599 a ton of contact with him just because you just don't put well, what 337 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.920 are your you know now that he's you know, he's been in camp. 338 00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:32.480 You guys they're getting ready for the start of the season. What's the atmosphere 339 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.000 been like with him, you know, running the show over there? Is 340 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:37.799 it? Is it as much of a circus as it was when you first 341 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.480 got there? How are things? No, I think it's pretty much settled 342 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.519 into like football and preseason camp mode. I mean, uh, it's different 343 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.759 in this. You know, you've got people showing up to don't know, 344 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.640 the show up. Torrette Lewins was here last week, Michael Irvan was here 345 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.599 today. Uh, you know you have guys like that have to show up 346 00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.559 and visit. But it's really been pretty much like a lot. Like most 347 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.640 camps, it's just there's more media covering the team now, so I think 348 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:07.920 they're really in football Mohden and just kind of getting ready for the season, 349 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:12.400 so more media. But is he accessible? Does he have Does he talk 350 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:18.400 to you guys? No, not really he has. Let's say, I 351 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.440 think today we didn't have access today, but I think today was practice seventeen. 352 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.960 He's talked twice in false camp. The last one was that press time 353 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:32.920 as your reference, which was twelve days ago. So I think we're gonna 354 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:37.000 talk to him one more time before the TCU games. So all in all, 355 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.240 we'll get him about three times. It's about the month of August, 356 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.480 which you know, typically we'll get the head coach three four times a week. 357 00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.960 So it's definitely a little bit different. So let me ask you, 358 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:51.200 what is your papers expectations of you coming the team given you have little access. 359 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.880 Well, we don't have asked him, but we they do give us 360 00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.440 an assistant coach every day and then at least one player most days betimes we 361 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:03.200 get two players, so we have content is just not coming from him, 362 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.279 and you know, and honestly a lot of a lot of cases it comes 363 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.440 on the better to talk of the because because they're more dialed into their specific 364 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:17.160 position groups than maybe he is as a headman overseeing the whole thing. Okay, 365 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.039 well I was going to ask you that. I mean, you know, 366 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.240 is it better because sometimes you do get more and better information from the 367 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:26.559 other guys. But is Deon is he looking like a head football coach or 368 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.319 is he still a little bit more on the celebrity side of it, you 369 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.720 know what I'm saying. I mean, does he feel that you know, 370 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.559 you've worked with other football coaches and their and their football coaches. They look 371 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.599 like football coaches, they act like football coaches. Where's where is don that 372 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:47.759 on that whole level? Yeah, he's definitely that's football time. He's definitely 373 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:51.559 a football coach. And the one thing with this team is that, you 374 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:53.200 know, we don't get to watch practice, so we haven't been around him. 375 00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.960 But because of all the social media stuff they have going on, we 376 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.400 watch a lot of practice every day on YouTube, and you know, there's 377 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.400 a lot of video of him, and so he is coaching. I mean, 378 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.240 he gets out there and he's getting on the guys. The other day, 379 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.359 he middle of practice didn't like what he was doing or what they were 380 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.359 doing, and he just stopped it right in the middle and he made the 381 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.359 entire team run seven one yard dashes, you know, and then get back 382 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.359 to practice. So you know, he's definitely the disciplinary and he's running the 383 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.400 show and you'll see him, you know, coaching the dbs, coaching the 384 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.039 receivers, things like that. So he's definitely in football mode one side of 385 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.960 the football. He did something a few maybe a week or show ago, 386 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:36.759 and you were well aware of this where there was a fight or scuffle in 387 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:41.960 the end zone with a couple of the defensive offense and he encouraged for people 388 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.200 to fight. I have never ever seen that anywhere. And we were talking 389 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.000 about a coach show we covered here, is they prevent that because it kind 390 00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.039 of gives you that thought of you're gonna get penalties if that happens in the 391 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.519 real, real life, real game. What did you make of it? 392 00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.480 Yeah, I think it was more so I know he I think he specifically 393 00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:04.599 said if one person fights, we all fight. And I think what he 394 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.480 truly meant, and talking to people that know him and close to him, 395 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:15.039 is it's really don't walk away from your teammates when they're when there's a scuffle, 396 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.599 you get in there and back them up, and it's more not necessarily 397 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.839 fighting, but back each other up via team and don't walk away from your 398 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.880 teammates. It's may be in a fight. So it's more of more of 399 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.200 that type of thing. I don't think he wants a brawl or anything like 400 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.400 that. I think it's more of just, you know, back your guys 401 00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:34.799 up. So overall, how do you think it's going with them? Do 402 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.759 you have any sense of it? He said, you don't get to see 403 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.960 much of practice. Have you had any scrimmages to watch? What does it 404 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.039 look like? Uh, you know in terms of on the field. Yeah, 405 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.440 we literally they have not given us one minute of practice to watch, 406 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:53.119 so we haven't seen any of it other than on the YouTube videos, which 407 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:56.680 you know, they look good on YouTube because they're going to edit out and 408 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:03.000 make it look good. But I will say Shore Standards is a legit quarterback 409 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.920 and he's gonna make a big difference for this team. They have those jet 410 00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:12.119 playmakers on offense with Dylan Edwards, Travis Hunter, Xavier we Were, Jimmy 411 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.400 Hollen, guys like that. They have legit playmakers. They're going to be 412 00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:19.720 better offensively and defensively. I think that they've got some playmakers as well. 413 00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:23.240 The biggest concern for me is depth. They don't have a ton of it, 414 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:27.279 but they're starting units. I think you're pretty solid. I talked about 415 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:32.400 this all the time and there was only fans here are liking what they see. 416 00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:34.519 Two years ago they went one in the eleven whatever it was. They 417 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.319 want five games this year. Last year five and seven. I see Colorado. 418 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.640 I'm not sure if they went't five, but they're gonna make a great 419 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:47.880 progression given the situation because the talent. Can you really talk about the talent 420 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.440 increase that they've had. Yeah, it's significant, and it's you know, 421 00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:55.359 you go to the guys I just mentioned. I mean, and it starts 422 00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:59.599 with quarterback. I mean, Colorado's quarterbacking has been a trocious last two seasons, 423 00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.680 and they have not had a quarterback drafted in the NFL since Coy Detmer 424 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.400 in nineteen ninety eight. So it's been a very long time since, sayid 425 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:12.279 NFL caliber quarterback steer standards is that and so, uh, number one, 426 00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.319 you've got a quarterback, you can play it. You can compete at this 427 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:21.680 level in college football. So I think that's significantly better. And his weapons 428 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:23.720 are very good. I mean I will see what they're like on the offensive 429 00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.000 lines, but they're very deep of running back, they're very deeper receiver. 430 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.079 So he's got plenty of weapons. They're gonna I think, just a lot 431 00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:34.000 of fun to watch Offensively. It's still still a lot of excitement around the 432 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.359 fans. Uh, you know, do they sell a ton of season tickets? 433 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.359 And because we saw what happened with the spring game, so you know, 434 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.880 how's how's the fan base looking at all this right now? Yeah, 435 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.160 they're just amp duff and ready to go. I mean, they sold out 436 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.720 their entire lotment of season tickets in April. The last time they had done 437 00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.680 it I think it was twenty some years ago, and they did it in 438 00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:00.079 August, so they did it quicker than they've ever done the first time in 439 00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.000 a couple of decades. They've already sold out a couple of games. I 440 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.319 imagine the entire season is going to be sold out and that's never happened around 441 00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.640 here. So this fan base is super excited and ready to go. You 442 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.599 know, you mentioned working with working with the staff. You know who, 443 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.759 who's the guy on the staff who are the key guys on the staff that 444 00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:19.720 you think are gonna, you know, help him be a good head coach. 445 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.680 But also, you know, coach the guys you know on the field, 446 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.720 you know his coordinators. I'm assuming, but who are these guys? 447 00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.960 Yeah, I mean Sean Lewis, the offensive coordinator, has been the head 448 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.599 coach at Kent State the last five years and he left that job to come 449 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:40.640 here. You know, he's obviously been head He's got that experience there. 450 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:44.599 He's been a big time coordinator at some places, and uh, you know, 451 00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.240 he did a really good job at Kent State, which has been a 452 00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:52.440 basketball program forever. He's a significant upgrade for them. And some guy that 453 00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:56.559 I think it's really gonna help coach crime as far as the offense, would 454 00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:00.279 also know how to be a head coach. Charl Only, the defensive coordinator, 455 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.480 has been in Alabama. He's one of national titles at Alabama and Florida 456 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:10.240 State as a defensive coordinator. So he's got tons of experience. So those 457 00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:12.440 two guys right there lead the way. But they've got i think four of 458 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:18.039 the five assistance and on the offensive been head coaches in college in the past. 459 00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.039 And you've got some experience on the defensive side as well. So I 460 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.920 think it's an interesting mix of coaches and I think if they're helping him out 461 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.680 quite a bit, what would a successful season be like or what would it 462 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.160 be in your mind or maybe their mind? Well, I think you don't 463 00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:37.880 know who you ask. I think you know nationally and the way that they've 464 00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.960 kind of he's been brash about things. People would say that if they're not 465 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.319 in a bowl game, enough to failure. But for me watching this program 466 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:49.400 all these years, if they're four and eight and they're competitive in those in 467 00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:52.319 most of those other eight, that's a really good season for this team. 468 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.759 If fame of fighting, I think six and six and getting to a bole 469 00:30:56.799 --> 00:31:00.000 game would be a tremendous season for this program. So I'm really it's just 470 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.880 show that you're a much better team than you were last year. And I 471 00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.319 think a lot of it sets up for next year. So I think it's 472 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.359 kind of laying the foundation for twenty and twenty four. Well, the over 473 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.599 under on wins for Colorado's three and a half, it's what I've seen, 474 00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:17.279 So you think they'll get the over on that over four because I look, 475 00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:19.519 I got twenty dollars burning a hill in my pocket right now? On what 476 00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:23.880 do you say as right now? I'm not a betting man, but I'll 477 00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:29.240 say this, if Schedur standards is healthy, I don't see a Schedur Standards 478 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:34.920 lead team winning less than four games don't good. He's too competitive. When 479 00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:38.799 you've got a quarterback that's that talented, I don't think you went less than 480 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:42.839 four games. So I penciled them in for four if he's healthy the entire 481 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:47.319 season, and maybe they steal a couple others and get in that whole game. 482 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:49.960 Tell us about him, what you say he's a really talented quarterback, 483 00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:52.559 NFL type quarterback. What does he do and who does he remind you of? 484 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.640 Well, I don't know if he even thinks you. If anybody say, 485 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.400 he's just he's got a really good i Q. He's know who's where 486 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.480 to put the ball, and he puts it there. I mean, here's 487 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:07.480 all these receivers are telling us. Is his ball placement amazing and he's completing 488 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.640 about I know it's fall camp, you can't get hit, so he's completing 489 00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:15.039 a super high clip. I mean, I'm like eighty percent of his passive 490 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:19.559 practice. He rarely gets picked off, but we'll see what it's like when 491 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:23.279 you get into games. But uh, he's just a very accurate pastor and 492 00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.279 he's Bobo as well. He can run the ball, so he's not gonna 493 00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.480 be a guy that runs for five hundred yards or a thousand yards, but 494 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:32.920 he can get out of situations. May he plays happening with this feed. 495 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:36.680 You know, this is a guy that obviously his father's in the Hall of 496 00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.359 Fame. He's worked with Tom, but he's worked with Hall of famers his 497 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:44.960 whole life growing up. So he's got that mentality of it's just all business 498 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.680 and I'm gonna work hard. So I was gonna ask you, oh man, 499 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.920 I missed it. I missed it. So do you you covered the 500 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:58.279 team for a while. Now do you remember Jason Harris? Yeah? So 501 00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:00.240 he still end the down in Arizona. How good was he? How good 502 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.400 was he up there? Did he just want to leave or what was this 503 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.920 situation? Yeah, he didn't, he didn't play when he was serious here 504 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.680 the one year, but he was highly regarded and there was a lot of 505 00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:15.440 excitement about get But I think that I can't remember his situation. I think 506 00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.519 he was here twenty nineteen and left after the coaching James. He was recruited 507 00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:22.640 by Milk Tucker, I believe, and then Milk Tucker leaves, and so 508 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.759 I think Jason was more wanting. He wasn't here was recruited him and his 509 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:30.640 brother was down at Arizona, and so I think he wanted to go more 510 00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.799 closer to home. But he was a talented kid. He was one of 511 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.720 the guys I was most excited about Mavericky class. Right. Well, now 512 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.119 he's he came here and now he's gone, He's left the team. That's 513 00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:44.599 why ask So let me ask you real quick, a personal question. I 514 00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:45.880 know I had something else to ask you, but okay, So you've been 515 00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:49.599 covering this team for a long time. I'm sure the community knows who you 516 00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.880 are. You cover the team. You kind of not so much celebrity, 517 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.160 but people know who you are. How has it been now for you? 518 00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:01.680 Yeah, it's been It's been different. I mean I get I get randomly 519 00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:06.440 asked in places how coach Prime doing? And I like to look around who 520 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.840 asked me that I don't recognize somebody and they used themselves to me. So 521 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:14.840 it happens all the time, and it's been unique in that regard, certainly, 522 00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:19.960 more comments on social media, more followers on social media, and YouTube 523 00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.960 channels blown up, all that stuff. So it's definitely more exposure and I 524 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:28.199 get recognized a little more if people know that I'm covering coach Prime. So 525 00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:32.760 that's been strike. When the Iron's House ask for a race, I do 526 00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:37.400 have a quick question the thing. Will they miss Montana because I know the 527 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:44.159 people don't here love Montana? Yes and no, I think you guys got 528 00:34:44.159 --> 00:34:46.679 a great one. I mean Montana's are very good receiver. His numbers. 529 00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:51.039 Don't look at his numbers and Jeff mof of that because the quarterbacking was so 530 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.679 terrible. If they had a quality quarterback, he would have had much better 531 00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:58.760 enough. So yeah, he's a very good receiver. I will say no, 532 00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.400 they won't miss him just Becau because I think they are loaded a receiver 533 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:05.880 and that he might have been, you know, a top three or fourth 534 00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:08.719 type of receiver for them. But I don't think there's anything there's anybody here 535 00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.480 that you know, I don't think he does anything that others here, you 536 00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:16.440 know, you know what I mean. I think they're just finite receiver. 537 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:20.880 But Arizona's got a very good one. Okay, good, just good. 538 00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:24.039 You know, hey, Brian, good luck with this. We'll touch base. 539 00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:29.960 We'll check in a TCU first game. Right wait wait wait TCU first 540 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.840 game? What what? What are your thoughts on that? I think TCU 541 00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:37.320 win that game. But I think that, uh, it's hard to project 542 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.559 what this car team is going to be, like, I mean, we 543 00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:42.760 just haven't seen them, and I think that's the most intriguing thing is that, 544 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:44.800 you know, well, I want to see if they're looking on the 545 00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.360 field, and I think they're very capable of going out there and maybe surprising 546 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.119 people. But going into it, I would project TCU wins that game. 547 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:54.920 Brian, Thanks much. I appreciate it for you on the show. That 548 00:35:55.039 --> 00:36:00.880 was good. Thank you, Brian. How very I don't envy him, 549 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.079 but do you know he's having fun. Yeah, here's the deal. If 550 00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:10.800 Dean's not a big jerk, then it's fun. Right, Then it's fun 551 00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.239 because you got all this attention on the program. People are reading your stuff 552 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:20.480 nationally, right, there's excitement around the program. You know, as you 553 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:23.119 said, you don't have to win eight games for people to continue to be 554 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.280 excited about the program. If they win Ford, they're gonna be pretty happy 555 00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:29.800 and what the hell? You don't talk to him very often anything, so 556 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:34.320 you know in that sense he's probably having a great time with it as when 557 00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.159 you and I. It's said, if you're dealing if you're dealing with the 558 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:39.199 coaches, let's say he's Bobby Night, it's just a big jerk to you 559 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:42.280 all the time. Well then you don't want to deal with a guy like 560 00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:45.719 that. So I covered as you know, Kevin O'Neill, he was here 561 00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:49.519 in the interim basis for Luke and people. Would you have these perceptions? 562 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.719 I loved, I love Kevin O'Neill. He was quotable, He said some 563 00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.599 crazy stuff. He went out the way he came in. It wasn't mean 564 00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:01.920 to he was Middleton Bruce, but he was he was Bruce. But but 565 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.880 but Kevin, Kevin's that dude. You know a lot, a lot of 566 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.400 fun. But you never knew what Kevin You're gonna care. So you know 567 00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:14.960 what I'm saying, it's some days we're different, some days we're not all 568 00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:16.519 right? All right? That was fun, good, good talking to Brian. 569 00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:21.000 How would you appreciate him joining us as always? And we'll talk some 570 00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.480 more Colorado stuff down the road. Once we see so all right, come 571 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:27.039 on back. We're gonna take your phone calls.

This 629 00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:52.480 is I on the ball on Fox Sports four Team Different Thanks, good afternoon, 630 00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:57.719 welcome back. I'm Steve, you're JAPS fourteen fifty. I can call 631 00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.880 us. We have eleven minutes. Yep. We witting a little over with 632 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:04.159 Brian and it was good following up. But Brian was really good. Always 633 00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:06.880 a great guest. We love having him on. We talked to him anytime 634 00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:09.559 Arizona's gonna play Colorado and something, basketball, football, whatever. He's always 635 00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:13.199 been great to get on the show and give us a lot of insight, 636 00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:15.320 you know. And and this whole thing with with Deon Sanders is the is 637 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:20.079 the head coach at Colorado. You know that it's creating a lot of work 638 00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.719 for him, but uh, you know, you'd rather have work than not 639 00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:24.880 have work, right, No, exactly. I mean he's busy. I've 640 00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:29.159 seen stuff on n A send comes over the work and so he's real busy. 641 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:31.000 He's real busy, but not with the coach. Yeah, well he's 642 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:35.840 just covering the team and that's and covering the team apparently does not involve having 643 00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:37.360 a lot of contact with Dean Sanders. So and then he talks about I 644 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:44.159 was gonna asking this because he talks about the Sanders Junior doing really well passing 645 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.920 the interception. How does he know if he doesn't go to practice, said 646 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:52.320 or and whatever he sees on YouTube. But you're only gonna, as he 647 00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.239 said, You're only going to see the goodtuff. It was the last time 648 00:42:53.280 --> 00:43:00.280 you saw a highlight reel that had bad highlights? I know, I know, 649 00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:02.960 I know, I know. Yeah, do that look when I when 650 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:06.679 I take pictures to Bet, I'd never give my bad side, which of 651 00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:09.239 course means I never have pictures way exactly exactly, at least at least not 652 00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:13.320 until you shave. But you know, yeah, you're right, and so 653 00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.679 I think there are a lot of unknowns there. You know, we'll start 654 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:17.440 to find out when they go when they go play TCU. I mean, 655 00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:22.719 if TCU throttles them and Sanders looks like he's lost, then you know, 656 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.440 you kind of get a sense that, you know, and when I say 657 00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:28.280 Sanders, I'm talking about both Sanders really, you know, So let me 658 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:30.679 ask you. There's a reason why I asked him how we thought they would 659 00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:34.239 do, because we talked about this. They play Arizona, right, and 660 00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:37.679 somebody friends reference somebody early on Twitter that they had a thought they had a 661 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:43.039 chance to beat Arizona. Okay, okay, that's fine. Do you feel 662 00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:46.039 more highly about Colorado? Now give him their talent? Not in terms of 663 00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:49.920 whether I think they're gonna beat Arizona, no, but but games and w 664 00:43:50.400 --> 00:43:53.480 do? I mean I kind of do because one of my big questions was 665 00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:58.480 it wasn't he I think he kind of answered this is is Dean Sanders going 666 00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.000 to be a celebrity or is he going to be a head football coach? 667 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:05.400 I think Colorado I think we can do both. I know, but you 668 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:07.760 have to there has to be you have to zero in on being a coach. 669 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.519 You know. You can love all the stuff, you know, bringing 670 00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:14.840 you know, guys into your practices and stuff like he said, you know, 671 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:20.039 mikel Irvin and and and Terrell Owens and those kinds of things, but 672 00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:22.599 at some point you got to do the work and you got a coach. 673 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.440 I think he's doing that. I think he's being short changed. It sounds 674 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:29.239 like he might be, That's what I'm saying. So in that regard, 675 00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.960 I feel like that question kind of got answered for me that Deon Sanders actually 676 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:35.639 is being a head coach. He didn't take the job just so that he 677 00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:38.280 could be visible and people know who he is and all that kind of stuff. 678 00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:44.039 Part of the we've covered coaches here. Yeah, someone was one. 679 00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:47.280 The guys didn't play hard for him. It very obvious. I don't know 680 00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:51.320 if we ever wrote that or talked about it. We talked about it and 681 00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.039 we said it all the time. So so let me let me say this. 682 00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:58.480 I guarantee you Jay that his team, the players are going to play 683 00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:01.599 hard for him for even just one reason, because he's gonna demand he'll kick 684 00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:05.880 your ass if it does he do exactly. So you have guys who play 685 00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:09.119 out of fear or play for you because they love the heck out of they 686 00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:12.840 respect you and want to play hard exactly. And we've seen it. We've 687 00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:14.559 seen it here. There are a lot of number of times. I think 688 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:15.639 they're gonna play hard for him. I think they're gonna be better than what 689 00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:19.360 people think. What that means, I don't know. Yeah, I mean 690 00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.880 being better could still mean two in ten too, and ten that's why he 691 00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:24.159 said a successful season. What if what if they are in games, would 692 00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:28.039 they lose? I don't know, I don't know, but I think you 693 00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:29.880 they're gonna win more. What's the three and a half, three and a 694 00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:31.320 half, dude, I go over, you're taking over. I have to 695 00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:36.119 see their schedule, but I think that's a Two of the three non conference 696 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:40.079 games are are Artco in Nebraska and then Colorado States the other one. So 697 00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:45.079 one, maybe three, that could be, that could be. I have 698 00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:51.639 to the Colorado Colorado Colordo State game is is even though Colorado's out of the 699 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.440 state in the Mount West, that's a huge rivalry and Coloro State gears up 700 00:45:55.440 --> 00:45:59.559 for that game every year. Yeah, so you know when you think of 701 00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:01.480 that, now, try and pick you know, try and pick four wins 702 00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:05.760 out of the pick three. Well, let's say they go two and one, 703 00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.639 one and two in their in their non conversation and pick three conference wins. 704 00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:14.079 You know who they're gonna be. Let me see here, TCU right 705 00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:22.519 two weeks Nebraska Colorada State ducks no US Nope, Arizona State maybe possibly that's 706 00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:28.159 two. Where's that at at an issue? Okay, Stanford at Colorado YEA 707 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:36.320 three three UCLA nope, Oregon State nope, Arizona Nope, nope, Washing 708 00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:43.159 hesitated, Washington, Washington State at Washington State, Utah nope. Man, 709 00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:49.440 man, that's why the numbers three and a half that the odds makers saw 710 00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:52.639 what you just saw, what we just saw. Man, Well that the 711 00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.400 numbers three and a half. They've got to win a game that you don't 712 00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:59.440 to win. So Arizon what five, five and a half, five and 713 00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:01.280 a half, five and five, which is which is a tougher bet. 714 00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.320 I think they're very much the same because Arizona is a five or six win 715 00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:10.559 team. Right. Yeah. If you look at if you walk through the 716 00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:14.880 schedule and you can pick five games, they need two games. They need 717 00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:20.679 two games in there, right, Yeah, that's gonna be tough. Yeah. 718 00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:22.800 I don't know. I think just for the challenge, I would go 719 00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.000 over three, three and a half whatever. Yeah, I wouldn't know what 720 00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:29.199 game it would be though, Well yeah what game? What game are they 721 00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:32.440 gonna win? That you is just as better. Yeah, they're coming off 722 00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:37.119 some crap d you coach all that stuff exactly. Wow. Okay, that's 723 00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:39.239 why the numbers three and a half. If somebody went through that and came 724 00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:42.559 up with the same three games, we didn't said, okay, now they 725 00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.159 got to win one more. Right. It's like they're like, are you 726 00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:47.719 gonna watch them? You're gonna watch them? Well, what depends on where 727 00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:51.519 I'm at. I'll watch the TC Colorado game because I want to see eleven 728 00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:53.599 o'clock Saturday. You probably want to be the tig tailgate by that time. 729 00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:59.239 But let me see this in the games at seven. Oh yeah, yeah, 730 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:01.760 you'll watch it. So they're kind of like a car crash and you're 731 00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:05.559 saying you can't take your eyes exactly. He says, where are they gonna 732 00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:07.679 follow? Where they gonna hit it here? Granted Albernon or yeah, and 733 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:12.800 you know, and there's some people who are rooting against I'm sure some people 734 00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.280 who are rooting for him. Some people who just love Dion so they're gonna 735 00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:19.679 be rooting for him and don't know crap about Colorado or just watching him to 736 00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.480 see what kind of reaction. And then maybe you have an old forty nine 737 00:48:22.519 --> 00:48:23.920 Ers fan who hated him when he was with the Cowboys, and they're gonna 738 00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:29.519 hate. They're gonna hate on it, right, Yeah, it's interesting. 739 00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:32.920 I don't know. Look, in the end, he's doing what Colorado. 740 00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:39.079 They're selling the hell out him, you know, so Brian said they sold 741 00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:44.519 all their season tickets. Arizona would like to have that problem. Yeah, 742 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.280 if he would have been here hypothetically, obviously there was one would have been 743 00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.880 more into it. I think the same thing would have happened. The hype 744 00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:57.400 put a bit crazy. But I'll tell you what I wouldn't. I wouldn't 745 00:48:57.400 --> 00:48:59.239 want him. No, I know, I don't. I don't. I 746 00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:00.360 wouldn't want him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, you got your 747 00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:04.199 guy. You get your guy. And it's not against it's not his problem. 748 00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:07.039 But imagine, imagine if imagine if Dan had come available. I get 749 00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:09.719 it. At the time in Arizona hires Deon Sanders. What do you think 750 00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:14.519 as an Arizona as a guy who's been covering Arizona? Are you thinking this 751 00:49:14.559 --> 00:49:16.639 is this is a freaking circus and how's this gonna work? No? What 752 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:21.119 are you thinking? Man, here's a guy who's who knows how too, 753 00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:22.559 knows how to win and all that kind of I'll give you this, who's 754 00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:27.599 the given the covered basketball for so long? Who's the equivalent on the basketball 755 00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:35.039 side. It's not calor Pari. It's not Calipari. Who's is Patino? 756 00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:39.039 Yeah? I guess there's no real There isn't one. There's no there's not 757 00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:43.239 anything like that where the guy needs to be proved. You know proved himself 758 00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:46.599 yet has this personality. Let's take this collar. Hi, you're on the 759 00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:51.559 air and I on the ball. Yeah, good afternoon, gentlemen. What's 760 00:49:51.559 --> 00:49:53.800 going on? How are you, Steve? How are you doing good? 761 00:49:53.880 --> 00:50:00.800 Rick? I was just catching you on the in between appointment here real quick. 762 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:07.760 I really think that Dion Sanders is going to have his kids playing above 763 00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:13.719 their talent level. Agree and I and I think that teams are going to 764 00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:21.519 underestimate that intensity, and I think their defense is going to probably give them 765 00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:30.280 more opportunities to win than people expect. Just his mentality and his success and 766 00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:35.800 his understanding of what it takes to win. I think he's embedding that in 767 00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:39.599 a bunch of kids that probably are like, Okay, let's go do it 768 00:50:39.719 --> 00:50:46.239 and start to believe in themselves. So I think I think they can beat 769 00:50:46.320 --> 00:50:52.679 a issue really handley, and I think they could beat Oregon State, and 770 00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:58.519 I wouldn't be surprised if they upset either UCLA or USC. And you didn't 771 00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.280 mention the Arizona, Yeah, don't. I don't want to go there. 772 00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:07.320 No, I don't think. No, I don't think Arizona is going to 773 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:14.400 allow that to happen. But I think uh, I think our coach probably 774 00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:21.000 has a much more understanding in the intensity because he was in the NFL with 775 00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:24.760 Dean Sanders, and so he understands what that takes. My thought on that, 776 00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:29.039 Rick is that you know, Dean Sanders, Hall of Fame NFL player, 777 00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:32.519 you know, incredible college football player, knows how to win, knows 778 00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.639 what it takes to win at the highest level. The question is can he 779 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:39.599 coach that? And that's what we don't know, and that's what we'll probably 780 00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:43.079 find out. And if he can coach that, then yeah, he's going 781 00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:45.719 to be successful. Well, look at the team that Dick Tomy had, 782 00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:51.199 what you know before the Desert Swarm was the Desert swarm. I mean, 783 00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:58.599 he took a bunch of you know, not so highly recruited players and he 784 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.559 figured out a way to get our heads to make them winners. Right, 785 00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:04.400 Hey, ritentional the call. We gotta go. We gotta talk this weekend, 786 00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:06.039 We gotta get that. We're here at the top of the ore here, 787 00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:07.559 Rick, thanks for the call. Appreciate it, man. Yeah, 788 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:13.119 yeah, I don't need Rick to convince me to go over three. But 789 00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:15.880 I think they're going. Man, I think that's a I think it's not 790 00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:20.199 a great bat, but it's a it's a kind of a challenge. You're 791 00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:23.719 going you're taking the over, three three twins, three names, to win 792 00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:29.639 four games. They'll find something in there. Nebraska, Colorado State, and 793 00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:31.719 then who else after that, we'll see they have the good lucky he s 794 00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:36.760 you, hey, she's not gonna be that good. It's hard. It's 795 00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:39.440 hard to know, you know. I mean, they've got this as a 796 00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:43.519 good quarterback. It looks like that kid from Florida. Who there, Miami 797 00:52:43.639 --> 00:52:46.840 is gonna pay or Florida's gonna pay thirteen million dollars. Well, you just 798 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:50.800 go and get out of here, all right. We'll be right back breaking 799 00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:51.880 news here at the top of the hour.
