Steve Rivera and Jake and Salles they have their eye on the ball on two
Sons Sports stag yea Fox Sports fourteen fifty streaming live. I mean I heard
radio whim hey, welcome back jin the ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty
on Steve, he's Jake and hopefully we have some breaking news. Let's breaking,
stop breaking on the balls on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. A little quick
trigger finger there on the on the thing. All right, we have a
few things, um, something that we mismntioning like three times last week because
it happened earlier, earlier in the week. But the two athletes in Arizona
who we've said are the face of THEIRS on athletics, a face of the
program, uh and therefore deserved, you know, some more nil than whatever
they're getting. Jordan Geist and Delane Schnelle were named via Tom Hanson Medal winners
for Arizona. They name a male and a female athlete. According to the
PACTUB website, Conference Medal is awarded annually to each member institutions outstanding senior male
and female student athlete based on the exhibition of the greatest combination of performance and
achievement to scholarship, athletics and Leadership. They've been giving that award out since
nineteen sixty sixty one academic year. In two thousand nine they named it after
Tom Hanson, the former Commission, former Commission. Anyways, Jordan, guys,
the ladies dousal, congratulations to them. We should have mentioned it a
lot sooner than this, but we did get around to it. So and
again, Steve, I mean, you know, though, you know when
you talk about, you know, the face of the program, right,
well, it's it's clearly that the face of the program, and no one
would recognize their faces. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So anyways, uh
oh yeah, when you're asking about the Elijah Russians thing, I had a
tweet right here that said it to doing his commitment announcement at two o'clock.
It's gonna be in the Stevens Strength and Conditioning Center at South Point High School.
I don't know if the're trying to draw a crowd when he did put
that on social media, so, um, you know, go over there
with signs and throw money at him or what do you do? A collection
the church? Dean Sanders in the news a little bit um in the Athlon's
College Football preview. Uh, they always do this, right, They get
anonymous anonymously, they get to make comments and stuff like that to talk about
guys. And a PAC twelve coach, I don't know if it's a head
coach and assistant, but just said a PAC twelve coach called called Sanders hiring
a lose lose situation for Colorado said quote, Either he's gonna be really good,
really fast and leave for another gig, which looking at that roster doesn't
seem possible. The alternative is that they're going to be bad and they'll end
up firing him in a big or guess I think I think, um,
those two okay are viable? Right if if they Jay Jay there's a guy
that there's coaching right here. Ye, couldn't you put that label on him
too? Sure? If Jed does really well the next couple three years,
what's gonna happen? Got realistically? Yeah, he could be okay and if
he doesn't, you can get fired. Isn't that label for any coach in
the country? Pretty much, but not every coach is deon Sanders because no
one encouraged anybody but Dan. But you can say to any coach. Yes,
Sanders went on social media to say, this is the dumbest thing I've
almost ever seen. And the only reason I said almost is because I'm giving
you all time to top this stupidity. It's it's it's true. Honestly,
it's true. You know what, He's not gonna take criticism, No,
no, no, I'm Den Sanders. I'm one of the best that's ever
been. So if you guys are gonna come at me, I'm coming back.
Ato. He's not gonna ignore this. And if he wins, but
if he wins, Okay, Dn knows what he's doing, right, Yeah,
Colorado's not his end dollar he No, he does right and if anybody
thinks that, then they're crazy. Colorado has to know that, don't they.
Of course, I mean they're They're gonna be the most watched college football
program in the country this year. Yeah, and so with apologies to Alabama,
because everyone's gonna want to know what he says, what he does,
if he wins, and how he reacts to losing. Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, they're gonna find all that out because it's all gonna happen. It's
all gonna happen. It's all gonna happen. I still don't agree with him
being ranked ahead of a bunch of coaches when you haven't done any yet.
Um um speaking of Colorado, that that little take game was on the sixty
foot but they couldn't stop him. Yeah. Yeah, I sat there and
watching today. I think it was yesterday, might have been, might have
been, or might have been on Monday when I was trying to figure out
I'm like, I'm like, you have a Comcast and I go through all
the little guide thing. I don't even stop for that anymore because all old
stuff, right, it's all packed up, it's all. If I want
to watch Arizona play somebody, I'm I've already seen that game a couple of
times. When I would I it's just old. They need to get this
thing done. See. But I'm I like watching that stuff, Steve.
I have I used to I used to record. I know you have make
DVDs out of old games. I don't watch them anymore than but I have
a library of DVDs of football games dating back to nineteen eighties. Do you
want date lines for the fourth or fifth time hoping the guy's gonna get it
quits? No? No, that's no, that's not that's not no,
that's not true. I watched them because I see them and I go,
I don't remember what happened. Yeah, that makes more sense. I don't
remember what happened here, and I need to. I need to see this
again because I forgot. That's that's what happens, all right. Um,
you want to talk about all kinds of bad luck in in in a in
an afternoon for the California Angels, Shoheyo Tani, Mike Trout, and Anthony
Rendow all got blister on his pitching hand. Mike Trout broke his hand just
swinging the bat filled off a pitch. It didn't hit him. He just
swung the bat and broke his hand. Yeah, very odd. It's gonna
be out for many weeks. And then Anthony Rendo in their third basement they
paid a fortune for after after the Washington Nationals won the World Series. He's
out. Well that I saw that all this weekend. And then the my
bet with you, I hope you don't make me pay for a dinner.
That's gonna be outrageous. Because the Dodgers and they have people on that roster,
they're terrible and they're killing me because I have something that's not fair,
that screwed. That's called insider trading. Well, speaking of that, one
of one of my one of my Dodgers from my fantasy team was announced yesterday
of Dustin May, the kid guy that looks like carrot top red bushy hair
um, had Tommy John surgery two years ago, didn't pitch all the last
year, came back to pitch this year through a couple of times, having
surgery again, out until at least mid season of nixt They should call the
Jiggnzellas don't touch me rule. The Padres are in fourth place. They are
six games out of first behind the Diamondback the only six. I thought they
were ten. I was, I was reading the wild card, Sandy,
they're ten games out of first and they're seven and a half. And then
went after the guy that was crazy good last year, Right, who's the
right he's on my team? Oh that's insider you do you purposely screwed me.
I wasn't thinking of that when when I picked him. But there they
are, they're they're they're bad and they shouldn't be bad. And I'm sure
Ryan Finley our friends. It also goes to show Jay that talent doesn't mean
much. It just does means a lot, but it doesn't mean everything.
Well well maybe that's a better phrase. Yeah, it does. Didn't mean
everything. You can have so much channel. Everyone talks about basketball this year,
Tummy Lord hugy's gonna be. How good they're gonna be? Well,
but I think they're gonna be good like every other year. How good I
do not know, but they liked. I like the people on the roster.
The Dodgers pitching staff though, is I'm messing out. They just got
Juliary rest back. And then Clayton Kershaw I just wanted to do with the
social Who knows when he'll be back. Um here's the one because we reported
this when it happened. Um, kind of an obscure thing. Jalen Kittner,
who is the kid, was the son of John Kitten, a long
time NFL player, got arrested several months ago and kicked off the U the
UH Florida football team because he was caught with some child porn, both on
his phone and something that he had sent out on social media. Somehow he
got out of it. He got five Falley pornography charges. UM that were
up again two counts of distribution of child flotation material and three counts of possession
of child pornography. Those charges were dismissed and they were replaced with UM two
counts of disorderly conduct, which are both second degree misdemeanors and impleaded guilty.
He's also he's on six months probation, but he was not fined and he
was not required to register as a sex offender. I don't know what happened
in there. Well, that sounds like something like, what the hell you
know? Does everybody get that break? And if they do, should they
get that break? I Clary says. Here said police said Kidding to share
two images of young girls being sexually abused via social media platform. Officers later
search his phone and found three more images of two nude young girls in a
shower, photos that had been saved to Kidding his phone a year earlier.
Wait a minute, how does that come down to disorderly conduct. I'm at
a lost. I'm at a lost. See how you've been watching the g
nique the summer leaue? I should say a little bit. I saw Victor
Webb on Yama doing some things and I saw he Uh, he looks a
little different, a little more weight on and around. Right. So when
Webbin Yaba plays Friday, um his first game, I mean I thought,
I just saw a clip of him making a move underneath the basket that I
thought, now, he's gonna be able to make that move on anybody,
not just on a G league or a summer league player. That that's the
kind of thing that I I you kind of get it, now what uh
why you know what he's uh, what he's got that you're your guy,
Heimie hawksd and did you and our guy? I'll say our guy. I'll
say it with reluctance because it's not an R for me at least. Uh
did not play his first game? Wow? Did not play? Say he
was at the end of the bench. Actually, man, that's not good.
That's not good at all. No, No, yeah, okay,
I don't want to say, I don't know, I don't Well, it's
too way too early in the summer. But but how good you have to
be right to play in the in the NBA. Very very very good?
Yeah, really good? All right? Um? Janice attend Coompo had had
a knee Well, they call it an off season procedure on his left knee.
I don't know if that means Yeah, I guess it means he had
surgery or what obviously something done that they I don't know if it's just to
clean some things up, But I don't know if that's going to affect the
milwatch Bucks odds of doing anything in the NBA next season. Did you did
you when we watched the games maybe five years ago, I think that ball
ball would have a long career in the NBA. No, did you think
you have a five year career in the NBA? Probably not. Yeah,
And he's just just got cut. It's not to say he won't continue on,
but he just got cut. He's been hanging around the league. Yeah.
Right, and let me you want to feel old. I want to
make you feel Michelle Weeds. Then retire you see that? Yeah? Michelle
we who she was just the last get onto the scene. Yeah, she
was just a little kid yesterday and the next Michelle we has just just started.
Actually she's gonna better who she uh Rose Jang, the girl from Yeah,
they're playing it's the US Women's Open and they're playing it at Pebble Beach.
I'm gonna watch that and didn Brett said that the Anicas Horstum's gonna be
multi winner. All right, Steve, I'm gonna ask you if you've been
driving around these intersections Valencia and Nogalis Highway, Golf Links and Craigcroft, Broadway
and Wilmot, Irvington and Campbell and twenty second in Wilmot. No, those
are the five intersections with the most collisions so far this year. Well,
I thought you gonna you know what. I thought you were gonna say,
shootings, because because shootings have been very prominent double last last couple of weeks,
I think east A lot of east side stuff I essential in South.
Yeah, but those five intersections, uh you know, uh, Broadway and
Wilmot, twenty second, Wilmot intersections that I'm around quite a bit when I
worked at the Sugar Skulls called Golflings and Craigcroft was one that I went through
twice a day, every weekday. But yeah, those are what's the reason,
what's the reason. They don't know? They're trying to figure it out.
People run red lights. People were horrible red light right running city,
running city. We're awful at it. But they said of the of the
twenty eight hundred and forty six collisions so far. Seventy percent are right intersections.
That makes sense, it's raw bad one good. There was a car
lame on its side over at UH COLBN Grant right there by the McDonald's.
Oh oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's happened last weekend. Right,
Yeah, been a bunch of those. So all right, those that's my
breaking Okay, no, cool, we're gonna go to break here. Yeah,
we're gonna. Yeah, let's I'm gonna take her back. We get
miss let's go Michelle. Let's go on. We'll talk about her. Her
finish at the UH at the Hot Dog Aiding contest. She's gonna keep doing
that because man, that's got to be hard. How do you train for
that? Right? Yeah? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know
how you trained for that. But we're gonna we're gonna find out from her.
We've had run before, but I forgot the last time we talked what
we talked about last time, so we'll we'll probably rehash some of that stuff,
but interested to get her perspective on what happened if it almost got canceled.
U yeah, if you saw that, all right, we'll be reacting
back with Michelle, Let's go. For more than twenty years, the Window

I on the Ball with Steve Bravera and Jay Gets on Fox Sports sporteen fifteen.
Hey, welcome back, to im about here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty,
I'm Steve RIVERA Jakins also now thefo we have Michelle LESCo for this third
place yesterday and the women's hot dog in the contest. Michelle, how are
you doing? How you doing it? How are you feeling? I'm doing
great today, besides the fact that I can't talk. I was cheering for
the men after my competition, and I was down there streaming for Adrian Morgan
to try to push some higher numbers than it look like you was going to
get through, And uh, yeah, I'm dealing with the repercussion today.
So we had you on last year after you participated last year very how can
we say very proud of you for the same complishment. But I said to
Jay, I don't know if I ask you this question, why in the
world you do this? You know, it's it's kind of a weird miss
community, I guess, but it's a lot of us are just like family.
So you'd go after a contest, you meet some of the weirdest people.
You'll let me because they're the nicest people in the world, and you
go afterwards and have a drink with them, and like it gets to know
them, and I think anyone who met a Crazy Legs, Taunty or the
bad Lands Booker would be back in a heartbeat because they're just some of the
most interesting and kind people on the planet. But also Glory obviously. Yeah,
you set up there and need a bunch of hot dogs on the end,
but why why are you not doing it? It's the real question,
because I couldn't have his two point four hot dogs in an hour. Oh
you got a train harder apparently, well, Michelle, because you know,
when you see this, this competition, it's it's fun and everybody's having a
great time, but it's it's serious for you guys who are in it,
right, I mean, you have to have some sort of training. You
have to be serious about this or you wouldn't be able to compete at this
level. Right, Yeah, And that's the hard part is uh finding the
time to train and sending the motivation to train, because really it consists up
for the topbo contest, cooking up a ton of hot dogs in your house
where there's not a huge Travis surface so well, where there's no one sharing
you on, where there's not that like, uh, you know, urgency
of pushing through with it. And if you don't have that, those like
motivators like you see get a bunch of hot dogs for tense to eight minutes
kind of like ridiculous and your brains held you. So and so pushing through
a training is not like easy word for me. I feel like I trained
hard this year, but I did not start soon enough. I should have
been training hard for months before I started. So we've never really met you,
but you're this whispy little girl. I don't know, I don't know
how old you are, but you're a small, thin woman. Was there
a point in your lifetime ten years ago, five years years ago, whatever?
He says, You know what, I'm gonna eat a lot of food
and I'm gonna be good at this. Did you how did this happen?
No? I'm just a competitive jerk. Is when it comes down to.
So. I have these guy friends who were watching TV and they saw the
Man Versus Lue Show and there's a burger challenging tuson where I lived, and
they saw it and they're like, we want to try this, and so
they're telling me about it, and I'm like, okay, I am absolutely
to be there. I want to watch you eat this burger. And so,
uh, we finally get down there this month later, months of them
talking about it, and they still chicken down and they're like, well,
no, really go home with them and eat a stupid burger, dude,
that is why we're here. And uh, they're like, you eat,
and I was like, fine, I'm gonna eating. You feel bad about
yourself because you feel stupid. So it's because I'm just a total competitive church
that I fell into it because I didn't know what I was doing and it
sucked, but I wasn't about to let it beat me. And look,
who's the idiot? So so what was that? What was the burger?
What was the challenge? The three pound burger is three hund cheeseburgers is twelve
quarter pound patties. But it's like the cheese hummers thing. And then listened
tomato or unions and whatever, and I think you had to finish it,
and I want to say that gave you like thirty or forty minutes, and
so I finished it out of sight. Um, but after that they called
me anytime there is anything, and so touch to a year later and h
his friends of mine lived in Phoenix, and they found out that there was
a Mazings qualifier in ten p and uh just by you know, serer luck.
Uh that would happened to be the first year that they had the women's
division. So twenty eleven, first year of the women's division. And so
if you go to the qualifier, the first man or first woman to get
the free tricks in New York, you get to compete at Colney Island,
you get the you know, potentially win U. And so I came out
I wanted, I was surious how I would do. I got the second
overall to a guy who'd been doing it for about the years already, a
Saint Mark, and U beat all the other guys in the contest, which
made me feel good about, you know, getting a trip in some time.
So yeah, just sell Indie. It's weird. Wow, Wow?
So how nuts is the event? You know, you see highlights over where
you're watching on TV and it just looks like a complete madhouse. You said
you lost your voice, you know, cheering in the in the men's competition,
But what I mean, how how epic is all of that that goes
on? And then when you're competing, how much noise is there? You
know, is it should be a bucket list item for like everyone on the
planet to go see this contest, because it is a madhouse. You get
out of the subway on the corner of Surfance Still Well, you walk across
the street and there's already a crowd of like tens of thousands of people just
on that corner and it stretches down as far as you can see in either
direction. Uh in the splash Zonus fact, right there in the front u
with like the coolest usually like the most loyal fans that you see every year
of dressed and hot dogs wearing the hot dogs has like and it's just a
fun time. And I think part of it is the fact that like it's
a real competition, like you're going to see people like actually fights for it.
But also it's kind of like a big tongue in cheek show where it's
like so ridiculous but wonderful and exciting, and it's ten minutes and it's not
like baseball. We're gonna sit there and nothing's gonna happen for an hour and
a half and then something exciting didn't happen. Like it's ten minutes of full
blown excitement, and beforehand there's like a fanfare of like different acts that perform,
and they're always super here that it's really the best time, Like everyone
should make it a point to most because there's nothing like the energy of that
crowd. So you did a second last year, you finished third this year,
but in twenty twenty one, you wanted did the other women participator?
How did you win it? So that yere um one of them. So
at some point I surpassed Sonya Thomas, who was the original number one rand
female in the world when I first started. So at some point I started
beating her um, but that was after Mickey Shudo had already come onto the
field and kind of taken over. So like I had beat Tonya Thomas um
once, I was the first female to do it, but then Mickey came
in shortly thereafter. And she's great. She's one of my closest friends.
We actually went roommates for a year and a half. Like, I love
her dearly, but she's she's legit better than me. At hot dogs,
I can get her sometimes and some of the other foods at hot dogs,
she's better. Uh, And so I kind of, you know, luked
out a little bit in that uh, she got pregnant um with her fiancee,
Mick Warry, and it happened to be during hot Dogs season, so
you about for that day. But honestly, like it's winnable. It's not
like she's like she's she is hard to be, but she's not unbeautiful.
It's just a matter of you know, I have a I have a pretty
accessful day job as a teacher. Uh, and it's hard to find time
to start training during the school year, and so I leg it just don't
work hard enough to take it more. And I every year, right oh
you know, the fourth of July. I'm like next year, next year,
I'm gonna start training. I'm gonna work hard again. So that's where
my mind set is right now. It just gonna make it happen throughout this
year. You've been training and not let myself fall up, fall back,
because it's doable. Like my numbers can go up. My number was not
where it should have been yesterday. Well, well that's why I was going
to ask you, because you know, let's let's say a track athlete or
a swimmer or whatever. They know about where they're gonna run or jump or
swim or whatever. But you've you've your your number can fluctuate, is what
you're saying. Absolutely if you get out of practice, Like there's a lot
of techniques and skill involved and strategy involved in eating hot dog staff and if
you're if you're not practice, then you can't eat fast enough to even fill
yourself up. Like yesterday I walked back stage people the guys asked how to
go, and I did a couple jumping jack and I'm like, not full
and they're like, oh, that trucked someone. Yep. Just means they
didn't set my techniques down enough to say both fast enough to throw it up.
And that's on me. Um, Like I said, I started training
late. I trained hard, but I started late, So so I'm not
miss the mistake next year. So what grade do you teach eighth grade math?
Why don't you get like forty kids forty kids eats, give them like
one hot dog each and see if you can beat them in ten minutes.
I mean it might be possible. Do they know, like liability issue that
that's true? Do your students know that you do this have to r and
what do they what do they think? What do they think? Them?
Every year and it always tracks me up because uh, kids and notorious are
not always listening. So I tell them about it. And then midway through
the year there's always that kid who's like, wait, are you kind of
famous? Yeah, I'll do that. So what are the secrets? Because
there's always secrets? Two games, h two games and this is kind of
a game but a contest. You have the big, heavy dudes, which
I didn't see any yesterday who didn't participate. But then you have these little
girls like you who kind of where did where did those tut dogs go?
You know, the big dudes that you're used to seeing. It's because back
in the day, uh, they weren't qualifiers. They literally would just pull
people out from the crowd that they that look like they could be a bunch
of hot So they always kicked out the big guys because they assume that's what
we're going to work. But U and some of those ones made it happen
and they're still great and they're still like in the game today. But some
of them, you pull them up on the crowd that eating eight nine hot
dogs is more than I guess normal person would. But uh, when when
Kobashi came out and changed the game and showed that you know, you guys,
your top number was twenty five in twelve minutes, and he came out
in eight fifty in twelve men has showed that there was actually, you know,
skill involved in pushing yourself harder than just like the normal person would.
So now you see a lot of the you know, people who are athletes
from other sports in their youth, giving you nog who plays like college basketball,
We got power lifters. You know, it's people who used to pushing
themselves hard through the pain and like knocking the end. So that's where you
see a lot of the new ones. Is for one, you can work
off the hot dogs with your exercise. There's always still after being active.
But two, you know how to push through the pain. So how do
you feel physically when this is over with? Right at the end of the
competition, you said you were walking away from the competition, you jumping just
because you said that you didn't feel full. I mean, how do you
feel when does when do all those twenty four hot dogs? Kind of let's
just say go away. So so this morning, right after I checked out
of my hotel room, thank god, I still have to keep little all
of your bathroom when a lot of them came through. So is this a
one I know this is a one time a year thing. So are there
like oyster eating contests you go to or or there used to be a lot
of contests throughout the years. There's slowly coming back. But the COVID you're
kind of knock the wind that is sails a lot of them. Um.
But I've won an oyster eating contest in UH in New Orleans before with thirty
three dozen oysters in eight minutes. I want to for thirtain contests and hope
those in Ireland before two three oysters in three minutes. Uh, I seem
to play seven. Um. I've won livingy contests in Chicago, Like,
there's all kinds of contests throughout the year. Um, I've done Pumpkin Time
Boys and very pie wings with name it. But let me go back to
this whole thing, because I know when I eat too much, I get
sick to my stomach. I feel terrible, you know, I just feel
awful. You know I can even get sick. I mean, how do
you feel like as far as that goes? I mean, is your body
used to totally depends when the food if it's a spicy food, you pretty
much feel bad right away. Um, and it lives it a little bit
longer if it's a heavy food. If it's a heavy food like pumpkin pie,
that one takes a real long time to feel better about because it does
not really room where it starts to settle, because you're you're already you know
much, it's already started as much as going to when you're with the contest,
but with hot dogs. With hot dogs because they kind of are a
weird shape. It's kind of like it plays a little Texas in the shotmas
during the contest, and when it starts to shift and settle, you feel
a lot better with intense, so it shis lower, you don't feel as
bad. You kind of move on with your day. Um. So totally
depends of the duds. So No, you know, you need to practice
more, Jay, you need to practice and get your stomach muscles gonna go.
Yeah, I just wear my stretchy pants. I just wears well.
Michelle, thanks a bunch. We know you're having a good time in New
York. Enjoy yourself, stace the background. No, fine, you're fine,
thank you, and have a glass of water. I know I cannot
I've got so much water to day. I think I directed the hour.
Yeah, okay, thanks say travel, thanks so much, thank you,
guys. Dude, I I ate so I went to the thing yesterday.
I had a couple of ribs. I had a hamburger, a couple of
corner of the cops, and I don't eat this much, but it was
so good. I felt bad. I feel bad. I felt bad,
like you know when you eat too much, and I felt like all stuff.
You know, I can when I had like that MC tacos at home.
I'll eat four and that's not bad. Right now. There was a
time for not that long. Agore six was my standard. Cut it to
four. But I'll eat six, and I'll eat six, and I'll i'll
be really full, and I'll know that if I eat one more thing I
had to bite him one more thing, I'm gonna yack. Okay, So
I don't. And I stopped doing. I stopped eating to the point of
that. That's why I'm asking. I know that when I eat too much,
I can get sick to my stuffach to the point of actually getting sick,
you know. But that's I'm like, how do you how do you
put all that away right, and she she's a number two pencil. She's
not in her in her bio. There's a bio one the uh the national
something um uh competitive eating website. So she was one hundred twelve pounds.
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna I'm much just twenty four hot dogs away right.
That's a percentage of her way, That's a significant percentage of It could
be about the most of anything you've ever eaten at a city. At once.
I couldn't tell you. Maybe when I was younger, I was standing
too, I couldn't tell you. Oysters. Maybe oysters, But that was
I've marked this one because it happened when I was in high school. We
went to the Pizza Hut on Tuesday. Tuesday, Smorgant Sport all you can
eat, you pay five bucks slices of pizza and seventeen slices of pizza,
and with me and two other two of the guys, we had a contest
and we had to call it quits at seventeen because nobody was gonna give up,
right, But I remember how I felt after that, and that's I'm
thinking, how can they how can they do this? It's crazy? It's
crazy, I know. So they did. It must be lucrative enough to
do it right, right, there has to be something like that. But
you know, as she said, she just got a competitive freak and so
she does it. And I'm like, okay, all right, hey,

It's Steve Vera and Jacan Salvings assist on the ball on Fox Sports fourteen Fire.
Welcome back to Winning the bout Here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm
Steve, He's Jay we have about thirteen minutes left for the first uh first
to show bath. Actually I want to call us please do In fact,
I think that Bill wants to talk about something they them might be something.
Hi, you're on the air on the ball. Hey guys, this is
Billy. What's up. How you doing? We're good good. I got
a quick question for you and then I'll take your answer off the air.
Okay, Um, what do you know anything about the Sandy estate predicament?
They got themselves in or we help ye back twelve to help them get themselves
in. I'd like to get your opinion on that. And I got some
family members that are STSU alumnus and I like to rub their nose in it.
Are you up to Jay? Are you Jake? You know what?
He goes He goes on. He goes on my Facebook page and gives me
crap about the Dodgers and I'm just talking in the context of my family.
He said to me earlier when he about the team San Diego that you you
snickerd me into losing that bet because you drafted off. He attacked my family.
He attacked my family on Facebook today. Okay. He said there was
too much doddre gear in the picture there was that was that was a wasting
that was helpful in my timing backs in first place. It doesn't happen off,
let me enjoy it. Okay, Okay, we'll talk about that right
now. I'll let you go. Thank you, all right, all right?
So, uh, actually I wanted to uh, I wanted to reach
out to Mark Ziegler, the reporter at the San Diego or the columnists in
San Diego Union Tribune the this thing I'm messier. So basically San Diego think
San State thinks it's still in the Mountain West, and and the Mountain West
is still saying that letter you send us a few weeks ago said you're out.
So you are currently out. Now we're gonna have a meeting of the
board of directors on July seventeenth, I think it is, and we're gonna
talk about you. But for now, you're not in the Mountain West conference
and you owe us seventeen million dollars. Okay, so that's for right now.
But that's for right now. When would they have come in next year?
Right? Well, they in order to be in the PAC twelve for
the twenty twenty four twenty five school year. They had to they had to
say they were out by June thirty to only pay the seventeen million dollars and
not have to pay twenty four million doll Okay, okay, And they did
and they didn't know. Well, they sent a letter saying we intend to
leave, and they but they didn't say we're leaving. They said, we
intend to leave. Can we work out a deal on the on the exit
fee? In San Diego State said we believe that letter is your withdrawal from
the league, and they're standing by they're standing by that saying you're out,
but we're gonna talk about you and maybe let you back. But at the
end of the day, ja, don't you think that they're gonna be part
of the Pack twelve? No matter what I think they are, the question
is when and how much is it going to cost? Right, Well,
they were premature in trying to it was trying to get out right, it
was it was probably it was probably whoever advised them to do that. It's
not a very smart move. Look, we get it. You don't want
to pay thirty four million dollars. You don't want to pay double if you
want to get out this year, so you can be in the pack then
Pack twelve next year. They just shouldn't have said anything, and they did,
and now they're saying that. You know, Mount West is saying,
our legal interpretation of this is that you're out, you're requested to be out.
You owe seventeen million dollars. And in San Diego State has six point
six million dollars skin in TV money coming to them, okay, and they're
saying, you're not getting that because that's going to count against your seventeen million
dollars. So we're not. Everybody else is getting their money, but San
Diego State is not as of now. But that the mess that they've created
created that. But I think at the end of the day, it's gonna
be fine. Right, But they're they're but they're they're standing out there like
they're standing on the corner waiting for somebody to stop buy and pick them up.
They don't have their thumb out. They're waiting for the Pac twelve bus
to show up and say, okay, you can get on. But you
know it's something, you know, something has to happen, and it hasn't
happened. And if it does happen at this point, they're if they want
to If if Santego State wants to be in the PAC twelve in twenty twenty
four, it's gonna cost thirty four million dollars, and they don't have thirty
four million dollars. They're not sure. They're not the reason they're not Texas
A and M, or they're not Oklahoma trying to get into the PAC twelves
to go get more money, to get more money. On top of that,
Steve, you know, the common thinking is that they're not gonna get
a full share of TV money right away, that they're gonna get a percent.
Who did they get now? I think it's something like five or six
million dollar every west end. Okay, I think the six point six that
we okay, that that that they're supposed to be getting. Yeah, we
gotta call all right, Hi, you run there on nball. How you
guys, This is Gabriel calling from California. How you how you guys about
doing? We're doing funny? Thank you? What part of California coming from?
Okay, Fresnel, California. Okay, I'm a couple, so I'm
a so you don't see a whole lot of Arizona wildcast Fane. But there's
kind of like around three or four. So there's mostly Fresno is not a
state fans and Oregon and UFC films on some UCLA fans. Okay, okay,
So what are you calling about? All right? Yeah, I know
college football realignment news as of now. Um, I'm putting intention to I
think I asked you guys this question a couple of months ago or two months
ago. So and this is a question to you Jay. So if Jetfish
decide to leave or get or gets a better job, either at Florida or
somewhere else, who do you think or for Jay, which who do you
want? Who do you want to take Arizona to the next level? Like
like Utah, Like I think Ryan Grub at Washington or Breman Carroll or um
one of the Stup brothers that is at Kentucky. Gabriel, Gabriel, you
like the San Diego State letter? How is this gonna happen? This is
not gonna happen for a long time. Well, first of all, get
to answer. Do you want an answer? So I'll give you an I'll
give you my answer to that, Gabriel is I don't know who we know
that we know who that would be yet, right, I think first of
all, I think Jett Fish is at at a minimum, at a minimum
three years away from from getting the program to a point where somebody would come.
That's the first thing. In that three years. Does one of his
assistants kind of become a guy who you say, Okay, that's that's the
guy, Or is that somebody out there who in the next three years is
going to build himself a profile somewhere to then be considered for the job.
So it's I think it's so far down the road. We really don't have
anybody right now that that I would point to and say that's the next Arizona
football coach. Should we need one or should Arizona need one in three years?
So in Gabriel two to this point, I don't know if you're gonna
agree with me or Jay will two. A place like Kentucky is almost a
lateral move. Yeah, Is that so you're gonna have to find somebody from
a lower division We've done the stoops. Yeah, lower division where they're up
and coming young dudes like j who has this chance and vision to keep them
there? Right? You don't you know who it'll be you know who it'll
be. Marks? Well, did the Kentucky coach you still work for Arizona?
Right? Mike Stoops was the head coach here and his brother Mark was
the defensive coordinator. Mark got the head coaching job at Kentucky. Mike ended
up getting fired at Arizona, went back to Oklahoma and then got fired there
and is now at Kentucky for his brothers. So those guys have been here,
so they're not coming. Let me ask you who's the fresnol Staate coach
right now? Chadford? It is Tedford? Okay, Well he's not coming
there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally he's not he's not
going to Arizona. Plus he's not affiliated with Yeah. Yeah, No,
I don't think we know. I just don't think we know yet. But
I still think we're quite a ways away from that, at least, like
you said, I mean, he's okay. If Jed goes off and goes
you know, eleven and one and plays in a major bowl game, you
know somebody might come calling. But do you think that you might want to
stay here at Arizona? Say, well, it's gonna be harder to win
that. Michigan it's gonna be harder to win that Florida. It's gonna be
harder to win that Uel like, so why just stay at Jay? So
your thought is a good, realistic one. But the one thing that I've
noticed about college coaches, they have egos, not little egos. They have
big egos, and they take those egos because they think they can make it
into great programs. Am I Rock. I'm not speaking out a turn here.
Rich Rod went to Michigan for that same purpose. Uh, he was
gonna go somewhere else because that same purpose. They think they can run the
programs to their expectation. It's not that easy. You're right, Gabriel,
but there's there's only a handful of people. And part of it, too,
Gabriel, would be if if Jetfish wants to let's say he wants to
win a national championship, Okay, and now let's say that's one of his
goals as a coach. If he feels he can do it here, he
might stay sure, but the people believe him. Right, But if he
doesn't feel like he can get that done here, he can take what he's
doing here and take it to a higher level program and do it there.
Then he might leave. And Gabriel, you're a very smart guy. You
call us all the time. You're very well important. You can, I
can. I also say this in regards to college football re alignment into in
regards to Arizona's your church. So I kind of think that if it is
then Arizona's best interest to go to the Bitch Wall, because Arizona, because
the Bitch Hall already has a TV deal. And if Arizona goes to the
to the Bitch Wall, that's gonna give like a round thirty eight million or
forty millions into the Arizona's football program, and that will help jet Fish possibly
stay and get more recruits for Arizon to get better and possibly in the in
two years or three, makeut try to go to the college football realignment.
So I just kind of want Arizona to be to be the best and to
be the best in the future right here, And you're not alone. Yeah,
I think there's a lot of people who think like you, Hey,
Gabriel, we gotta go. We got We're up to the end of the
show. So hey, thanks again for coling Man. We appreciate it.
Thank you, guys, you rock, Thank you, Thank you so,
so a couple of questions. Jay, Uh, the Big twelve already got
their TV deal. Great, if thirty one, okay, if somebody goes
Arizona goes in, doesn't that get deluded? It isn't just a bad depends
on how the contract is read. Okay. So I would as another if
they act, if they add more inventory, they add more dollars to it.
Okay, Okay, It's not like if you have ten kids, you
have one hundred bucks you you spend. There's there's has to be provisions in
a in a TV deal like that, and there will be one in the
Pac twelve deal like that. If you add a team, it's got to
bring x x amount of revenue. Well okay, okay, Uh, the
question is a good question, but it's not it's way premature. Then we're
way early on the on the coaching thing, and I'm I'm still in disagreement.
I know, I know Gabriel feels strongly about the fact my airs are
going to the Big twelve. I still think there's a better place for them.
Is going to be like this questions like me trying to figure out my
next ex wife. I just don't know, you know, And I don't
know that you should be allowed to have it. I'm okay with that too.
All right, we thank everybody for being here today. We'll be back
tomorrow more stuff and h we'll By that time we should have Elijah Russian's decision
on whether Arizona gets a five star recoup or if he's going to Oregon.
So we'll be reported on that quarter back here tomorrow, so be sure to
be here. A space
