Seventy 11 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:55.359 million dollars in one season. Steve, unbelievable. Well, they're selling the 12 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.719 team too, right, Yeah? I had that. Yeah, this, 13 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.719 you know, these contracts were coming across on social media and stuff, and 14 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.719 I'm just going, what the hell have we become? Ticket prices going up? 15 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:08.519 Yeah? Yeah, I mean yeah, i mean, I'm you know, 16 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:11.640 and look, I mean they're they're spending it because they have it, 17 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.840 I guess, right, But I'm just crazy. I'm just like, seventy 18 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.040 million dollars a year if the if the owners are paying this, how much 19 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.000 are the owners making Say that's the thing. They've all got these teams and 20 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.120 they really don't care. They're toys for these guys. Now, you know, 21 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.799 none of these owners are trying to make money off their teams. They 22 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.159 just want to have great teams and win championships and go to the locker room 23 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.840 and sniff some jocks. I don't know the money, you know, but 24 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.400 well they're they don't want to lose money, Okay, but they're they're not 25 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.840 these aren't. This isn't where their businesses are, sure, yeah, right 26 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:49.879 somewhere else. They're making their money elsewhere. And then they get to play 27 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.079 with these things and drive them around like you know, like fancy cars, 28 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.120 and sit in the front row or sit in there right in the box. 29 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.799 I know if I were an owner, and this is just me stupid, 30 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.840 and I would I wouldn't pay seventy million dollars to someone to play basketball, 31 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.039 would you. I would have a hard time being an owner if that's what 32 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.280 I had to do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, if I if that's 33 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.080 what I that's what it takes to be an owner, then I would probably 34 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:21.639 rather not own that team. That's just yeah, that's just me. Speaking 35 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.240 of owners, The Celtics ownership group led by Wick Grossbeck, is planning to 36 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:32.039 make the franchise available for sale. Amazing. Maybe maybe Rodriguez by it. 37 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:36.800 I'm joking, of course, but because you couldn't buy the Minnesota team, 38 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.159 right, they took it away from him, him and the other day they 39 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.280 were supposed to buy it, and then they took it away and now he 40 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.639 has no team to buy. It was announced today that Arizona Baseball will be 41 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.919 heading to Houston next year to take on Texas A and M. Did you 42 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.960 see that Tennessee huge? Say huge? Who's in it again? Read it? 43 00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.120 Tennessee the defending champ in Texas A and M the defending run. And 44 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.680 then they had there's another Mississippi sim state. It's like wow, yeah, 45 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.159 And then you have did we have this last week or this came over the 46 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.599 weekend? You have softball softball information they're going to Italy or they just went 47 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.360 to Italy? Are they're going to Italy? Now? Like? Right? 48 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.400 Now right now. Remember we trying to reach it. They're right now, 49 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.240 right now, Yeah, George Lopis, I think so that they went to 50 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.800 Italy, they playing a big I didn't say that if care was involved in 51 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.879 this because he's been helping the team US Italy, and I think that's what 52 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.000 it is. But what a great experience. And in fact they're taking the 53 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:37.439 seniors that were just seniors with that with them. That's a cool thing. 54 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.759 Yeah, And it's not paid for the school. It's paid through donors to 55 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.560 Yeah, because now you every time they do something, you have to want 56 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.719 to where's where's the money coming from? People are unemployed. Now you have 57 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:53.319 to where they're paid pro interesting, Okay. Caitlin Clark was one rebound shy 58 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.039 a triple double as the Fever beat the Mercury yesterday. I watched that. 59 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.919 I watched it. I watched it only because I'm curiously got about and she 60 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.680 didn't have a great game. It was. They kept talking about it. 61 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.120 They could try to get her to get a rebound, but she didn't have 62 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.639 a great game and she was even not even the best player on her team 63 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.840 that yesterday. But it was a good game. It was. It was 64 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.360 seventeen thousand people, and you can hear it once again, you could hear 65 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.920 the other the crowd actually cheering for the fever. She didn't have a good 66 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:25.519 game, and she had seventeen points I think nine revounue. They were taking 67 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.319 her out at the end for defensive right, right, right, No, 68 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.560 it's a good game. The Taroshi had a good game, so did what's 69 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:38.160 your name? Because they respect each other now and she had some great quotes 70 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:44.319 after the game. Seventeen thousand people once again, and right, and she 71 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.240 was the visiting team. Guess what's gonna happen? Jay, And they kind 72 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.360 of started talking about this yesterday. I'm sure they've done it before. At 73 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:55.600 the end of the year, they're gonna say Kumbaya, thank you, right, 74 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.079 you know, they may not have said it two weeks ago, but 75 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.199 at the end of the year, they're going to say thank you for what 76 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.480 you've done for us. Right. Well, if they don't, they should, 77 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.800 yeah, right, they should say that to all the TV coverage, 78 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.040 all the sold out stadiums. Yeah. And it's it's helped with other stadiums 79 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:17.879 too. It has. Last thing I got John Gruden lost a bid for 80 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:25.360 reconsideration and an NFL lawsuit he filed against the NFL. He resigned as coach 81 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.800 a couple of years ago. Right, I'm sure he wants to get back 82 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:30.639 into coaching. I would think, you know, that's that was the whole 83 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.279 purpose of that, is to try and get back into coaching. Yeah, 84 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.519 no, I would think that he wants to. But dude, you said 85 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.040 what you said. I mean, you're pissed that it got out. I 86 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:44.759 get it. You're mad that somebody you know, threw you under the bus 87 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.879 like that. But you said what you said, so you can't erase that 88 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.199 part of it. So you know, good luck, good luck with that, 89 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:56.040 Good luck with that, you know, Yeah, I mean you know 90 00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.639 you you make the bed man, You make the bed laying it. You 91 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.240 had all the NFL in the NFL, NBA trans signings and all that. 92 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.120 Philadelphia looks like it could be the team to beat. Well then yeah, 93 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.600 they they elevated to like the second team with the second odds to win the 94 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.199 champions. Who would be first to Boston? Boston, Well, Philly. 95 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.959 If MB doesn't get hurt, they have a chance. Paul George Clippers are 96 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.120 gonna get hit. Obviously, I'm looking at I'm looking up to see if 97 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:30.759 they have win uh Conference champions yep Celtics plus two ninety five seventy six ers 98 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:36.519 plus eight hundred in Oklahoma City eight fifty, then Vernuka's eight fifty, Nicks 99 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.000 nine to fifty, Timberwolves a thousand, Mavericks a thousand. So there you 100 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.480 go. Yeah, they they've jumped up pretty fast with that. I mean, 101 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.279 look, somebody put a you know, pictures of the five guys who 102 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.519 are the projected stars. He thought, that's a pretty damn good team. 103 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.000 You know, it's a matter of pot obviously, the matter of what's behind 104 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.319 it, but it looks like a pretty good team. That's all I go. 105 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.160 All right, you know what it is besides Morning Pac twelve day, 106 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:09.600 it's Bob Oh, that's right. Just for a lot of a lot of 107 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:14.319 memes and videos, you know that I saw one of somebody driving up and 108 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.959 would look like a like a nice looking jag. He gets out of the 109 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.000 car and it's not Bobby Bonia, but it's a guy dressed to you know, 110 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.199 the nines, and he's kind of strutting walking into a building and say 111 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.120 that's Bobby Bona getting getting the city field today to the one Basketball Park, 112 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.439 one point two million until still until twenty thirty five, until twenty thirty five. 113 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:38.399 Crazy, See, we should have been better at baseball. Yeah, 114 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:42.680 we'd be making fifty bucks fifty bus. That was a funny thing that my 115 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.240 son said. He got up to my grandson, who's, you know, 116 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.480 a year and a half old, and he says some words, but he's 117 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.759 really basically not talking. And he just walked up to you're going to be 118 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.639 a basketball player. I forget about baseball, forget about soccer. You're going 119 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.600 to be a basketball player. And I'm like, he's a Gonzales. He's 120 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.079 a Gonzal. Yeah, he's gonna have to be a heck of a guard. 121 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.839 Well, first of all, he's gonna have to get really tall. 122 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.319 He can good.

No, 225 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.080 what you're about coaching are Eugene. You've done this, You've been to coach 226 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.240 here like thirty some years. How many times have you been out there? 227 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:13.000 Oh my god, I've been. I've been to Eugene every single year since 228 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.919 nineteen seventy six. Oh my gosh. How old were you when you were 229 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.399 seventy six? You were like twelve that. I was a senior in high 230 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:28.799 school, so I was actually seventeen years old my first trip to Eugene. 231 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.720 I think you may have tweeted something or somebody did. How much how much 232 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.960 change there's been since that time? Oh? I mean it's I mean, 233 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:45.440 it's it's really I mean the transformation between then and now. Mean, just 234 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:50.080 you know what Eugene itself, you know, the old historic Hayward Kill something 235 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:56.000 just you know, the behold and the new facility is I mean it's grand 236 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:02.080 and everything, but it doesn't have the same favor. You know. Yeah, 237 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.440 we're you know, we're getting you know, getting great championships the area 238 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.440 and you know in the performance levels are are tremendous, you know, but 239 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:14.840 that that that real feeling of you know, being in that stadium when the 240 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.799 fans are really right there on top of you. It's it's it's an entirely 241 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.600 different field. Interesting. Interesting, So you you spent the weekend over there 242 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.480 watching some of your athletes and former athletes, just well what was the feel? 243 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.559 I know there was some disappointment, but they still performed really well. 244 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:36.360 I mean what's your takeaway from how how your your athletes did. Yeah, 245 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.000 you know and with without you know, you know, shadows out not trying 246 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.039 to you know, uh, you know, pamper anyone in the athlete. 247 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.080 I mean it's it's the hardest team you know, in the world to try 248 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.320 to make. And you know, Jordans you know, being you know fourth 249 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.519 you know in the shot and fifth you know in the you know, in 250 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:00.200 the hammer, I mean you're so close, but you know, it's it 251 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.799 doesn't know, it doesn't satisfy it because you didn't make the team. And 252 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.559 you know, just get into the finals of any of these events. Talibans, 253 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.519 you know, makes the final and she she hit three hurdles and that 254 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.279 and that's that can't happen in the race of that level. But even even 255 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.559 if she was clean, uh, you know, I seld that she would 256 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.559 have ran a really nice pr and probably would have run twelve twelve five in 257 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.039 that area, but she would it still wouldn't have been good enough to make 258 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:37.000 the team leaders. There's three young ladies that ran you know, under twelve 259 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.119 four that aren't going to be on the team and that and and those times 260 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:48.279 will make any global finals. Right. Well, well, does she have 261 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.799 a chance to come back in the four years? Oh? Absolutely, matter 262 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.640 of fact, she is literally in flight as we speak over to Europe. 263 00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:03.240 She has one and race uh in three days there in France, and then 264 00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:08.960 she will head to Ireland for two competitions and then she's in Switzerland you know 265 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.279 for uh, you know, for a competition. So don't cry for her. 266 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:15.960 She's doing well, oh yeah, I mean, I mean, you 267 00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.039 love to be on the team. But okay, I'll just get on this 268 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.039 flight and I had to Europe and have some competitions. And what about Jordan, 269 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.480 what's his future? Yep, I mean you know, he definitely, 270 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:32.920 I mean he goes, you think as well as he's been going and from 271 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:36.960 his freshman year hex senior year in high school on. People think that he's 272 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.839 really an old person. He's just an full soul, I mean, and 273 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.720 so I mean he has you know, he definitely has a minimum of four 274 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.960 years left in what he wants to do depend upon you know, his ability 275 00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:53.279 to be able to you know, get sponsorship and continue to get and continue 276 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.440 to train at the level that he's training at. Well, when do you 277 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.240 know that one of your athletes, you know, when you're here at the 278 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.519 u A, when do you see or know or get a field at Okay, 279 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.720 this is a person who's got Olympic potential. How do you tell from 280 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.039 on that? Well? And so much, I mean it's looks that I 281 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:18.279 mean, it's it's it's really early on because you know, I'm getting away 282 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.640 from those athletes. You know, you know, I have a young lady 283 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:27.200 who is just a sophomore this year Antonia. You know Sanchez Nunez who just 284 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:33.720 won the Mexican Championships in the four hundred hurdles and uh and she ran uh 285 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.160 the fifty six oh two, which is not going to get her, you 286 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.160 know, get her to the games. But at that age, and you 287 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.480 see, when you're that competitive and you and you win championships, and that's 288 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:52.079 the big thing. You have to win championships. I don't care if it's 289 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:57.000 the Junior Olympic National Championships or you know, the Texas High School state championship. 290 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:00.720 You have when you have of those, you know, any of those 291 00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:07.039 athletes are going to have the capacity in terms of their talent to be successful. 292 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.480 But you have to you have to start learning how to win. And 293 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.400 that's where we you know, you lose a lot of these athletes that have 294 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.079 talent, but they don't understand how to win. And that's you know, 295 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.799 and when you see that, that's when you really have to you have to 296 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.759 grasp you have to grab onto that and really, you know, do a 297 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:32.720 good job of really you know, mentoring that and nurturing that aspect of you 298 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.559 know, of winning because you you know, because you you're You're talented. 299 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.960 The talent is there, it's just now a matter of can you, you 300 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:47.079 know, understand how how to win coaching?

Most 335 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:18.480 likely happened because he did he did play high enough in the open four that 336 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:25.119 the US team will will spare their you know, the top athlete that they 337 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.480 want to run in the finals. So he will most likely he will run 338 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:32.119 a leg you know, in the in the pleminary, in the priminary round. 339 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:33.680 But he wist he will, well, I can carry out. He 340 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.000 will definitely not run in the finals. Okay, all right, Yeah, 341 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.079 but here's the Kid's the kidd he's sixty. Well, first of all, 342 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.119 this is not a recruiting question. Is he going to go to college somewhere? 343 00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:47.200 Is he being recruited? Well, well, again, if you think 344 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.400 about how young he is, yeah, I mean he has you know, 345 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.680 two more years of high school, right, you know, and he's definitely 346 00:23:53.920 --> 00:24:00.640 being recruited. The the reality of it, honestly, you know, I 347 00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:03.480 don't see that happening. I don't I don't see him participating, you know, 348 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.799 in a collegiate system because quite frankly, I don't think a collegiate system 349 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:12.759 is the best system for him because he's going to be expected to run you 350 00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:18.160 know, indoors, indoor conference, outdoor outdoor conference, and then it's it's 351 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.279 too much running on the bonding, right, So I mean we're looking at 352 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.200 a kid who can be in what four Olympics kind of ye yeah, absolutely, 353 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:36.720 well your younger male version of Dera Thoris exactly. Man. You know, 354 00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.839 it's just it's incredible to think about because I think, what was I 355 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.160 doing when I was sixteen years old? Run from people? Well, I 356 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:48.000 I was cruising speedway, you know, and it's but that's amazing. So 357 00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.440 what you know when you when you finished, like, okay, your season's 358 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.759 over all, you know, all this is over. I know you're going 359 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.000 to the Olympics. But what does Fred Harvey do? Now? What's uh 360 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.039 what you know, what's on your on your plate going forward? Well, 361 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.119 I have a ton of things. The one my wife and I we run, 362 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:08.440 you know, the largest youth program in the country and are in the 363 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:14.319 city Tucson lead athletic club. So as soon as I touched down, you 364 00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:17.720 know here in Tucson, this evening we have track. We have a club 365 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:22.359 track practice this sevening at start at six six pm. We're taking forty three 366 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:29.319 kids from Tucson E League out to Colorado next week. Uh yeah, next 367 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:34.160 week for the you know, for the Jail Region ten championships, and then 368 00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:41.480 we have the national championship so out in College Station after that. So we're 369 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.400 you know, so my life is, we're you know, we have back 370 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:48.839 to coach our youth. We're still we are actively actively recruiting, you know. 371 00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:55.000 And then the one caveat to my new life here is that now I 372 00:25:55.079 --> 00:26:00.720 have to hire a new horizontal jumps coach because my coach, Bobby Carter, 373 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:06.400 was fortunate enough to get a head coaching job you know out in Texas at 374 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:14.319 tall uh Tallers and University out just outside of Dallas, and so now I 375 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.839 have to find a new a new jump horizontal jumps coach. And but I've 376 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.039 been working on that since uh uh you know, uh, the entire week 377 00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:26.880 here at the at the Olympic Trials. So that you know that that's a 378 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.000 real positive thing because it's a it's a very very you know, coveted job, 379 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.119 you know that, you know, that horizontal jumps job that we have. 380 00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:38.759 So I'm hoping to narrow that down to a part uh you know, 381 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.839 you know, a pool of five or six, you know by the time 382 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.559 I touched down in Tucson and we can start doing work. So are you 383 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.039 looking forward to the Big twelve? I am. I mean it's it's gonna 384 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.720 be really fun for us. And since that, you know, we get 385 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.000 you know, some new new blood that we get to run against and jump 386 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.200 against, throw against, and in the conference. But you know, but 387 00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.200 how we get how we get to our our NCAA Championships, that doesn't change 388 00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.079 at all. I mean, regardless of a conference, you know, we 389 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.519 still have to you know, qualify athletes to be in the top the top 390 00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:19.599 twelve story, I'm sorry, top forty eight to get to the first round 391 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.480 of the NCAA Championships. And that really doesn't matter what conference you're in. 392 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.119 And yeah, then from there it's it's it's, you know, the procedure 393 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.000 is still the same. It's you know, you you know you uh you 394 00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.880 know, to get too onto you you know, to the to the finals. 395 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.119 You're going to have you know, you go from down from forty eight 396 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:42.799 down to twenty four. And uh so that's that doesn't really much matter what 397 00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:47.079 conference you're in. So coach, when we got about two and the stuff. 398 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.079 I wanted to talk to you. We talked to mister Geist, We 399 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:53.599 talked to Delanny Schnell Schnell about n I l uh. They both said, 400 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.519 you know, it's not about us, it's is this more about basketball and 401 00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.839 football? But you must be affected to because you need good athletes coming here. 402 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:06.400 But you know, we and and and it and it does affect us, 403 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.440 you know, and and that question of the I think the difference between 404 00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:17.279 you know, a football athlete a basketball athlete, not saying that coaching is 405 00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:23.359 not imperative in those sports, but in our sport it is far more imperative 406 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:29.240 because when you talk about the individuality of what we do, you you may 407 00:28:29.279 --> 00:28:33.119 have, you know, someone who you know can offer you this big nl 408 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:38.480 I Gill as a four hundred hurtler you know at an institution. But is 409 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.960 it just about the money that you're going to get or do you want to 410 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.839 try to make Olympic teams and then those coaches have to be able to coach 411 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:51.960 those kids one on one? You can you know, think about basketball n 412 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.279 I ls it's it's a it's a it's a different thing. You're you're in 413 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.160 a program, You're gonna get a lot of exposure. It the coaching does 414 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.319 matter, but the one on one coacheam that it takes in our sport and 415 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.920 I know, you know, rather it's swimming, diving, you know, 416 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:14.160 track and build. It's it's a different animals, So you don't we don't 417 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.279 have the same types of issues that you know, you don't see kids jumping 418 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.000 from you know, uh, three different schools because they're going to get a 419 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.039 better nil bill, you know, but it is, it is definitely creeping 420 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.599 its way into our life and we're going to have to be able to do 421 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.759 some things you know better. You know that to be able to you know 422 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.160 more and more, so, subsidize a lot of these athletes on our in 423 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.519 our programs that we you know that don't have full rides. So with with 424 00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:47.079 football, basketball, you're a head counts for so you're on a full ride 425 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:49.680 or you're a walk on. There's nothing in between. So you know, 426 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.319 in our in our sports, I mean, I can have an athlete that's 427 00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:57.880 on twenty three percent and having to figure out, Okay, how do we 428 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:02.799 subsidize their rest so that they can you know, they can compete and they 429 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:07.039 can train at you know, the level that they're capable life. Well, 430 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:08.519 coach, I know you've got to get on a plane back to Tucson, 431 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:12.799 so be safe and well, thank you for talking to us. No, 432 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:15.880 hey, I definitely appreciate it, and I'm glad I was able to you 433 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.400 know, fit that in. Yeah, thank you appreciate it. We'll talk 434 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:23.880 about the Steelers later. I hope you heard that. Okay, Well, 435 00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.200 we can stay on if you want, and we've got about five minutes we 436 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:32.519 can't. You know, he makes a good point because you know those sports 437 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:37.880 do the individual coaching as it pertains to your future is you know, is 438 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.440 a big deal. You know, a track coach, a golf coach. 439 00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:45.240 Well, right, let me tell you this sixteen year old, fifteen year 440 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.279 old sensation. Right, how much is he gonna go? He's gonna make 441 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.960 well that he's probably you shouldn't even go to college, right, he should 442 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.160 just go straight into professional and they get they can make some money. Yeah, 443 00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:56.400 a lot of a lot of that stuff is overseas and stuff. But 444 00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:00.119 he's got a future in that. And then at the same time he and 445 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.079 still be in the Olympics. Yeah, all he wants. So I covered 446 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.240 the Olympics twice in Australia and Greece. Let me ask you because I know 447 00:31:07.279 --> 00:31:10.039 my answer. That's why I want to say it. What's been the most 448 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:15.960 impressive thing you remember seeing out there in an event? In an event? 449 00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:22.039 Yeah, my god, Steve, It's hard to know, and I already 450 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.319 forgot to guy his name, but you know, to me, I was 451 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:29.200 always a sprints guy and I loved watching that, you know, watching a 452 00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:32.599 guy like Usain Bolt or go back and see you know, think of a 453 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:34.960 of a Carl Lewis and you know, go back even you know, all 454 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.279 the all the way back into the seventies when I, you know, really 455 00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:42.200 paid a lot of attention to this. To me, it was always seen 456 00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:49.279 how those times keep getting lower? Right? How? Yeah? Humanly possible? 457 00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:55.559 Right? Yeah? How you know the people running those races can are 458 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.640 constantly getting faster and faster. I'm like, okay, when are we going 459 00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:01.119 to go? You know, when is somebody gonna break? You know, 460 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:06.799 uh, nine seconds in the hundred meters? Right, I know we're still 461 00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:07.920 high. But you know what I'm saying, I mean, where is there 462 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:12.440 is there a place that is not humanly possible? Well, I think we've 463 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.960 seen it. I originally asked his when husaying Bolt did what he did. 464 00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:21.119 You're thinking, how is this guy doing this? And then I remember just 465 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:23.279 just twenty sixteen. I don't know if you remember this, the four hundred 466 00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:28.519 meter guy Wayne. Then I didn't even remember his name, Nightkirk, the 467 00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.200 Night Kirk. He was in the final eighth I think it was eight slot 468 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.960 and you're thinking this guy, okay, whatever, and then he blows everybody 469 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:38.200 away, just this normal dude. And I'm thinking, how is this possible? 470 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:43.119 From that lane? And you're thinking, holy well, they go back 471 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:46.680 to Bob Eaman in sixty eight, right with that long jump that you don't 472 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.440 think pos still the record, right, you don't think possible, that's still 473 00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.799 the record. And that record was set through the math, you know, 474 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:58.039 fifty six years ago, and you know, how did he do that? 475 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.480 You know, when you feel like it's a sum sort of a superhuman effort, 476 00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:07.519 you know, to do something, it's nuts. And I just that's 477 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:12.000 what to me, that's what track is. That that's what the uh the 478 00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.200 not the interest, but that that's what to me fascinates me about track is 479 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:21.079 that you know how far a human being can go to, you know, 480 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:23.519 to do something. I know, every time a record gets broken it's broken 481 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:27.799 by you know, one one hundredth of a second or something like that. 482 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:35.960 But those records keep coming out swimming, especially right you know, these swimmers 483 00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.640 are faster than ever, yet the records keep getting broken. And there's somebody 484 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:45.039 faster out there, and there's probably a twelve year old right now who's going 485 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.440 to break these records in you know, six or eight or ten years, 486 00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:52.359 you know, and you go, how how can that keep happening? How 487 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:57.200 can the human possible human evolution be for these people to bring I know we're 488 00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:00.599 getting deep into the weeds on this, but to me that it it's it's 489 00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:02.160 sort of like the impossible, right, I mean when they you know, 490 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:06.640 when the when the foremen of Mile first got broken and now how you know 491 00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:08.760 how low is that now? Right? Right? Right? Okay, So 492 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.239 let's say that's what fascinates me. Let's take the break, come back, 493 00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:15.880 and we'll get you maybe get some calls. Yeah, I would love to 494 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:17.039 hear from you.

All right, that's an idea. But anyways, 569 00:39:51.239 --> 00:39:53.239 going back through these helmets is pretty cool. You know, the the 570 00:39:53.239 --> 00:39:58.880 the Tony Mason helmet, and then he got fired, so Larry Smith came 571 00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.719 in and sort of a version of that helmet for Larry Smith's first year. 572 00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:06.800 Then they went to that block A that was for a lot of a lot 573 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:09.280 of Larry Smith's here or actually in the DA Tony's years then they went to 574 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:14.440 what we call the academic A. That's the logo. Now, I remember 575 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.760 being upset. I was just gonna ask you change that logo. I was 576 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:20.480 just gonna ask you, so you know how much uniforms? Just give me 577 00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.760 an uniform place? Are you one of those guys?

Oh, let's take this talk. 580 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:34.519 I know who this is. Hi are on the air and I on the 581 00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:38.199 ball. What's going on with State? Hey there, Peter, how are 582 00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:42.880 you? Pete Williams? I went to are you? Let me ask you 583 00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:47.159 a question? Jay's over here. Jay's over here crying and got some listeners 584 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:53.519 crying. The Pac twelve is over. Are you crying? I'm not crying, 585 00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:58.960 but but I am. I'm really sad. It's you know, I 586 00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:01.639 grew up on this again. I did start watching like in the second or 587 00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:06.760 third grade. That's where my I know, hate is a strong word, 588 00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:10.159 but my hatred for UCLA grew back in like seventy seventy one because I was 589 00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:15.880 a big sc fans still am and Ucla and Bill Watt and those guys just 590 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:20.079 just tormented my trojanes and tormented me. But I told you guys before, 591 00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:23.159 when I was a kid, I could name every starter on every basketball team 592 00:41:23.159 --> 00:41:28.119 in the conference back then. But so it hurts. But no, I'm 593 00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:31.400 not crying. Man, Well I'm not crying either. He's making that crap 594 00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:35.920 up. I'm like you, I'm sad that it's over. I'm bummed that 595 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:37.880 it's over. And you know what, Okay, let's go on to the 596 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.480 next one. It's a new adventure. But yeah, I can't help it 597 00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:45.159 be bummed by what's happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. 598 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:52.880 One of my best friends he played at TCU from eighty five to eighty seven. 599 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:57.559 They won two south West Conference championships. And actually TCU was the first 600 00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:00.320 school I actually visited on the recruiting train and actually the first time actually took 601 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:05.519 a plane fight. So that was a great conference back then, if you 602 00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:07.239 think about it, the Southwest Conference, right, and I think that thing 603 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:12.800 actually dissolved, and never in my wildest dreams that I ever think that the 604 00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:16.000 PAC ten Tact twelve wouldever it be in that same situation. Yeah, I 605 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:21.320 think of anybody, Pete, you're going to be affected because Arizona went to 606 00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:25.119 l A a number of times and you were always there. Yeah, yeah, 607 00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:29.639 well, I guess it's got to mean the other road trips. TCU 608 00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:32.199 is definitely gonna be one, for sure. I think I'll do that one 609 00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.920 pretty much every year that they go to Fort Worth, so many other ones 610 00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.000 can't. Maybe not so much. But yeah, it's disappointing, it really 611 00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:45.840 is. I am you know again we're looking at I'm looking at this this 612 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:49.639 thing that Javio Morales put up with all the helmets over the years for a 613 00:42:49.800 --> 00:42:52.400 Zona football, and it made me think back to you know, all those 614 00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:54.159 times right you were you were the basketball guy. I you know, I 615 00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:58.880 grew up I loving basketball, you know, Fred Snowden and all those things. 616 00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:00.639 But football, to me, it was the sport that I followed, 617 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:05.719 you know, that I bleed for, And just go back all that time 618 00:43:05.760 --> 00:43:08.079 and see, dang, there were those were some times and they were for 619 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:14.320 you too. Even as a kid. I didn't know a lot about Arizona 620 00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:17.199 football really even up into high school. But I didn't know about t Bail 621 00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:21.880 and I was just annoying for whatever reason. But then when I got to 622 00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.880 U of A, and I think my junior year. They were I think 623 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:29.519 they were preseason number three. You know, when you had Ricky Honley, 624 00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.719 you know, Tom Tounny Cliff, Jay Dobbins. It was just Vance Johnson, 625 00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.639 Randy Robins, Allen Dirton. I could just go on and on, 626 00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:39.360 Steve bo Way, I mean, Charlie Dickey. I mean, it was 627 00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:44.119 just they were. I mean they were a great team. They really were. 628 00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:46.719 Larry Smith running the show. So I walked into an awesome situation where 629 00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:50.199 I got to see really good football, you know, my two years of 630 00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:52.760 the U of A. And it's just as I said before, it's just 631 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:55.519 so disappointing. Man. Yeah, okay, Well, and then again, 632 00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:59.559 when you're coming from a perspective somebody who actually played in it, you know, 633 00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:01.199 the close as I got was the time I rushed the court, you 634 00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:07.320 know, yeah, you know, you got crazy thinking it's like, uh 635 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:13.480 my little pack hand Hall of Honor thing or whatever. It just don't seem 636 00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:16.039 to mean anything now because it's over, you know what I mean, It's 637 00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:20.679 nothing they could take away from me. But the significance of it is kind 638 00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:22.119 of it's just kind of turn us down to the conference is gone, you 639 00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:25.760 know. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, We'll always honor you. 640 00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:30.880 Pete. Don't no kidding, Pete. Yeah, okay, thank you man 641 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:34.320 for calling in. All right, I don't know it's gonna be on the 642 00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:37.880 air, but you guys, I shouldn't be surprised anyway. You gotta take 643 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:42.639 care and see but look forward to seeing you guys towards what the third week 644 00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.599 of August when we do that camp thing again. Okay, thank you, 645 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:50.320 thanks about me. Appreciate it, and thanks for not not throwing out, 646 00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:52.880 you know, not realizing you're on the air and thrown out on that pum. 647 00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.800 So it was nice and Pete, good shop. Yeah, you know 648 00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:59.760 that's really something right, all those you know, whatever awards you got and 649 00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:02.920 all stuff for even taking the conference that doesn't exist. I mean there's still 650 00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.599 mean as much. I mean they do, but you sit there and think 651 00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.920 all these things and now that conference is gone. Yeah, and you know, 652 00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:13.239 no more of those, you know, but you know, I guess 653 00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:15.079 you know, we made a big deal out of Arizona, you know, 654 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:20.679 baseball winning the last back ten Pac twelve you know championship, the baseball team 655 00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.719 winning the last Pack twelve championships and yeah and there you know, as they 656 00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:27.920 say, forever champions. But oh man, yeah, it's you know, 657 00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:30.679 it's uh, it's the time. It's a weird. In fact, we 658 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.800 had gone through some people right talking about the great times that they had had. 659 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.880 I try to reach a Meal Balk two to see if you can call, 660 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:38.079 because he's he's effected. He played in it and now he was announcing 661 00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:40.440 in it for a long time. I don't know. I'm not sure what 662 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:46.000 his future is now with the Big twelve. Take another call. Hi, 663 00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:50.119 you're on the air and I on the ball. Hey guys, this is 664 00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:53.639 Lobo Phil. What's up, Lobo Phil? How are you guys doing? 665 00:45:53.800 --> 00:46:01.079 You're taking thirty points in your Lobos I'll take that thirty and a half. 666 00:46:01.199 --> 00:46:06.280 Actually, I want to comment. I want to comment on your discussion about 667 00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.719 if Arizona goes eight and four this year, would it be a disappointment, 668 00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:14.719 would it be a success? Would people feel good about it? In my 669 00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:16.719 opinion, I think most U of A fans would feel that it was a 670 00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:22.440 disappointment because because and the reason I say that. The reason I say that 671 00:46:22.559 --> 00:46:27.440 is because you know, I believe and a lot of people that I talked 672 00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:31.599 to believe the Pac twelve football Last year is better than the Big twelve football 673 00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:36.760 this year, and a lot of people also feel that that U of A 674 00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:40.880 football should be as good or better than they were last year. So if 675 00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:44.960 they're if they're if they're not in the playoffs and they're eight and four, 676 00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:51.039 I think most people believe it's the failure. That's kind of that's I don't 677 00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:52.599 know if they think it a failure, but I think there'd be a lot 678 00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:55.800 of there'd be some disappointment in there. Are you also factoring the fact that 679 00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:01.480 UA fans are kind of uppity or think more of the normal, Well, 680 00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:05.719 no, I don't think I don't think I would be. I don't think 681 00:47:05.760 --> 00:47:08.840 that's specific to you of a fans. I think that's specific just to all 682 00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.760 sports fans in general, because that's I've seen that. You know, multiple 683 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:17.119 places that have lived in this country have the sports fans are the same everywhere. 684 00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:21.960 It's not a fan well anything, but they are that way. Though. 685 00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:23.840 Yeah, any fan is going to think that they should be better the 686 00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:28.880 next year when they've got white, Arizona's got coming back. I agree with 687 00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:31.960 that. I think people are hoping for more. Yeah, people are hoping 688 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:37.360 and I think that they let's say they do go in for I think individuals 689 00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:43.000 fans are going to feel that that's partly the coaches to have is party to 690 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.360 blame for that. Yeah, of course I agree with it too. It's 691 00:47:45.400 --> 00:47:50.679 funny though, if they go eating for you can kiss the playoffs could buy. 692 00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:53.960 Yeah. No, they're not in the playoff going for there, not 693 00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:59.480 in the playoffs, and I think the you have a fans that I talked 694 00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:02.679 to think that they're a playoff team this year, especially if they extended the 695 00:48:02.760 --> 00:48:07.440 number of teams. And if they don't get there, okay, yeah, 696 00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:08.960 I wouldn't say it's a failure. I think you're right, J. But 697 00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:12.960 it is will be a disappointment. There will be some disappointment, Yes, 698 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.079 there were. There will definitely be some disappointment because look, let's remember the 699 00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:20.079 team that went ten and two and beat Miami in the festival, right, 700 00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.440 very high expectations. From the next year, they actually went eight and four, 701 00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:27.679 but they went ain't three in the regular season, lost a bowl game, 702 00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:31.480 and that is to me, that season is seen as a disappointment because 703 00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:36.920 you were expecting so much more and they lost a couple of games that you 704 00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.559 thought they shouldn't have lost, and so you know, I think that's an 705 00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:44.960 example of that. I'll go one further, ja, I think that season 706 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:49.440 is seen by many people as a failure. Yeah, it absolutely was, 707 00:48:49.559 --> 00:48:53.880 especially when they lost that bowl game to crappy Utah, right right, and 708 00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:58.760 especially after the ten and two season and what they did to Miami in the 709 00:48:59.159 --> 00:49:01.960 full. I think there's a lot of people here in this town thought that 710 00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:06.360 that season was a failure for you of a football Yeah. I agree. 711 00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:08.039 And I think if if they had a similar let's say they go eight in 712 00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.880 four regular season and then lose a bowl game and they're eight and five, 713 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.360 that's definitely will be seen as a disappointment. Oh yeah, big times. 714 00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:20.440 Yeah, all right, thank you. Rich all right, just want to 715 00:49:20.440 --> 00:49:23.039 call you guys and and give you my opinion. Take the thirty points, 716 00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:28.679 thirty and a half. Actually go Lobo and a half, thirty and a 717 00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.199 half. You never know, haven't you coach you haven't you coached bronco menton, 718 00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:37.039 uh, Bron, you might surprise you. Yeah, You're go into 719 00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:40.760 four corners offense and keep the points. Bread Richard, typical Lobo, typical 720 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.400 Lobo. We have a chance. Hey, thanks, abut I appreciate it. 721 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:51.760 Thank you. I do sound a little negative. You do you do? 722 00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:54.239 You do? That's realistic. I wouldn't touch that thirty points. Maybe 723 00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:58.519 I would. There was a lot for a first game. Arizona's going to 724 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:00.880 be good, though. That's a lot for a first this game. But 725 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:04.440 again, you know they're also gonna want to come out, you know, 726 00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.239 flaying in it and having something creating some excitement that. I mean, they're 727 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.119 not going to show a lot of what they do, but you'd like to 728 00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:13.840 think that they didn't really want to come out and put on a show in 729 00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:16.480 that first home game. Uh, Henry, you said more than eight, 730 00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:21.559 right? You said eight and nine? Did you say? Yeah? I 731 00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:24.400 think i'd say nine right now? You know, I'm kind of leaning there. 732 00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:29.159 I'm going there now, I'm there. Yeah, Victim Vic didn't sell 733 00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:30.079 me, but he kind of, you know, kind of like pushed me. 734 00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:32.960 Yeah. Yeah, you know what, I think they can be. 735 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:37.639 TCU wasn't that good last year, and every year is different. But yeah, 736 00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:40.559 but the don't think the only thing that makes me hesitate on TCU is 737 00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:44.159 that two years ago there in the National Championship. Okay, so what's going 738 00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:45.440 what's going on over there? No? No, in fact, that's a 739 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:49.159 good, good point. So if they go eating for you kind of oh, 740 00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:52.400 not a bad, not a not a disappointment. Ninety three, but 741 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:55.239 they would have to win their bowl game, right, ninety three is a 742 00:50:55.239 --> 00:51:05.280 good season. No Arizona fan, No Arizona fan should be poop in a 743 00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:08.280 nine win season. Ever. Ever, Yeah no, because because of who 744 00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:13.199 they are, because of who Arizona is, and Arizona has been historically put 745 00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.960 into content. You you go back to back seasons with ten wins and nine 746 00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:20.280 wins, and if you're pissed off about something, then get the hell out 747 00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:22.599 of here. Not even I would be grumpy about that. Yeah, exactly 748 00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:28.119 exactly, you know, going into a new league with a new coach and 749 00:51:28.480 --> 00:51:30.960 all of that. If they go, if they go nine and three, 750 00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:34.239 I'd say they win another bowl game and go ten and three. You win 751 00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:37.159 twenty games in two seasons. And if that's some if somewhere in there you're 752 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:39.960 disappointed with that, then you got it. You got issue. You go 753 00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:43.960 check your own life because you got issue. I thought I heard somebody tell 754 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:47.320 me that that there's a line out there somewhere of Jeff Kings. Otherwise whatever 755 00:51:47.639 --> 00:51:53.440 that Washington there is what's the it's yeah, it's it's it's a matchup. 756 00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:58.079 I can look it up real quick. It's a matchup of Washington against Arizona 757 00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:00.599 and wins. And I think it's air Zon a minus one and a half 758 00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:04.760 or that they would have more than Washington. Well, isn't that like a 759 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.039 given? Don't you think Washington's lost like their whole ross? Yeah? So 760 00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:12.519 what would make that a bet? That wouldn't be easy to win? Unless 761 00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:15.760 the spread is like, yeah, okay, it's Oh, here's what it 762 00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:21.159 is. It's it's it's Arizona's minus two forty five. Okay, to have 763 00:52:21.199 --> 00:52:22.960 more wins than Washing. That's that's a that's not a bad bet. I 764 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:25.800 would yeah, but it's two forty five forty five. You have to put 765 00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:30.239 two hundred and forty twenty four dollars to win ten dollars, right, Uh, 766 00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:35.079 that could be easy ten dollars. They're not. Washington is not gonna 767 00:52:35.079 --> 00:52:39.280 win eight games. No, Washington's gonna maybe win six. There you go, 768 00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:44.159 you want ten dollars, you have to put twenty four up. Steve, 769 00:52:44.199 --> 00:52:45.760 I already made a bet to no. No, no, no, 770 00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:47.880 no, But I'm just s I hear you I'm just saying, yeah, 771 00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:52.480 it's one of your money line things. You get twenty four of these bet 772 00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:57.760 or go, bet go bet forty nine bucks to win twenty twenty. It's 773 00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:00.360 it's it's to me, it's isn't that a winning game? Win win win? 774 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:06.800 Yeah? You think schedule, yeah, Washington's yes. How are they 775 00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:09.039 gonna win six games? I don't know. Yeah, I want to. 776 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:12.960 Okay, we gottah, we gotta go.
