00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:07.519
Steve Rivera and jakeen Somns they have
their eye on the ball on Tucson sports

2
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:13.560
station Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. They
welcome back to trying about here on Fox

3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.719
Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve,
He's Jake, and Jay has some breaking

4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:28.239
news. That's he who was right, that's good took news on fourteen fifteen.

5
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.800
Okay, Steve, breaking news.
I went to the heart doctor today

6
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:36.880
and they said I have one and
it's not black. And your kids were

7
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.719
saying, really, I never knew. Good to hear that. Good to

8
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.960
hear just regular check up, nothing
nothing going on, just regular checkup.

9
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:49.159
And that's what the kids said,
going on exactly, so you know,

10
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.159
and still couldn't continue to look for
breaking news. Just says to finish our

11
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.039
little league conversation. Just came across
this, uh, this clip of the

12
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.400
of a regional pencil against against Washington
DC. Pennsylvania was getting no hit in

13
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.319
the bottom of the seventh and walk
off homer to win the game and get

14
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.200
to the Little League. It's one
of the games I was watching today before

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.120
the ship, just right before two
o'clock. He was coming on, how

16
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.439
cool is that? I would have
been? They had a guy. They

17
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:22.120
had two players on second and third
bottom of six no hits and one out

18
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:25.200
and they and the other team,
DC survived it. I think it would

19
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.599
have been one of the only times
ever a team wins being no hit,

20
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:34.120
but they eventually won the next inning. Yeah. We talked earlier this week

21
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.000
about Kevin Brown, the announcer for
the Orioles who got kicked off the air.

22
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.640
Yeah, that's ended for for pointing
out that the Orioles hadn't beaten the

23
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:47.640
Mari the Raising about ten years.
And he's back on the mic tonight him.

24
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.519
He had a statement, he said
everything was mischaracterized and people are saying

25
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.200
it sounds like a hostage tape to
me, something that he might have said

26
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.359
with a gun to his head or
a proverbial gun to his head. Nobody,

27
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.480
nobody really had a gun do it. Everybody loves jobs, exactly exactly.

28
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.840
Let's see. Uh, bad sad
news for Arizona Basket women's basketball Montaya.

29
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:17.240
Gosh darned, I had her name
here, Montya do freshman coming in

30
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:25.400
having surgery and is out for the
year. She's a let's see, just

31
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.800
says undergo surgery. Uh. This
said while the program did not elaborate on

32
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:36.080
the type of injury or surgery.
She was spotted outside McHale with a black

33
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.199
brace on her left leg earlier this
week and had covered her entire leg from

34
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.599
ty to ankle. So I don't
know if it's you know, is it

35
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:49.120
achilles, is it a knee or
whatever. But she was supposed to be

36
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.840
a big piece of what they were
doing this year and she is now out,

37
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.159
Okay, highly unfortunately staying on college
on college basketball. Cooper Flag high

38
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.759
school kid. I'm not even sure
where I think. I want to say

39
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:07.280
Minnesota. Yeah, he's the next
great recruit coming out. He has decided

40
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.960
to reclassify and uh, he's going
into the twenty twenty four recruiting class.

41
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.039
He was playing somebody at a camp
of week a week or so go and

42
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.960
showed him up. It was an
m NBA guy and a pretty good NBA

43
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.879
guy, and they were giving the
NBA guy crap because this kid was pretty

44
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.680
fantastic. Yeah, so he's he's
coming out so he can go play uh

45
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.520
college basketball a year early and theoretically
get himself into the into the NBA.

46
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.400
Joe Burrow there's a video of him
running on the field, running some sprints,

47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.039
throwing a football. They say he's
looking pretty good, and so,

48
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.360
you know a lot of people are
saying, oh, this could be you

49
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.639
know, it's an achilles. It's
gonna bother him his entire year. And

50
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:53.159
there's already some some feeling that he's
gonna be just fine, just fine.

51
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.280
Sad news. Sean Dakins, remember
that name guy California, California passed away

52
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.560
recently. So he's like fifty seven, fifty six. He was fifty two

53
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.759
fifty two, Okay, fifty two
years old, played at Cal he was

54
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.319
Uh, he's well, he's in
the Athletic Hall of Fame. Uh,

55
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:17.279
you know, receiver, he's the
it's all time leader and career and single

56
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:23.439
season touchdown catches. Uh, fifty
two years old. Man, didn't he

57
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.680
he died either. I don't think
it's totally no. It doesn't say,

58
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.879
it doesn't say. So that's a
very sad thing. Let's see what else.

59
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.079
AP Top twenty five comes out on
Monday. I'm sure it's gonna look

60
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.240
a lot like the coaches poll.
I'm guessing. I don't know what you

61
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.240
think. Here. Here's an interesting
thing. I don't know if there's more

62
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.160
for a discussion or breaking news.
But Max Olsen from the Athletic UH wrote

63
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:56.319
wrote an article and posted a chart. But it says that during the twenty

64
00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:03.920
twenty two twenty twenty three transfer portal
Psyche, twenty percent of all FBS scholarship

65
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:09.120
players transferred, so that when we're
talking one out of five players, they

66
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.879
didn't have scholarship players and FBS transferred
during the twenty twenty two twenty percent of

67
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:19.680
the twenty three transferred portal of cycle. I wonder how many people got left

68
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:24.560
in the dirt or dust whatever,
right, because you know, you have

69
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.680
thousands of them in there and then
eventually don't find homes. Right. You

70
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.800
know, sometimes the grass more,
sometimes the grass is greener than you realize.

71
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.600
Oh no, the grass isn't greener, or no one wants me.

72
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:41.560
What am I gonna do? Right? But yeah, So apparently discussions are

73
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.759
now off for cal and UH and
Stanford to go to the ACC. They

74
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.519
didn't they didn't have the UH there
weren't going to have the votes for that,

75
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.160
didn't they have? There was just
some more stuff today, right,

76
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.519
some more meetings today? Is that
from last night or today today? Today?

77
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.000
Yeah? I think they were gonna
have some more meetings. So now

78
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.000
it's call and Stown for talking to
the AAC. You know, the Americans

79
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:06.279
play the conference and they're also obviously
in discussions with the Mountain West. I

80
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.680
mean, Mountain West makes all the
sense, right sure, and at those

81
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:13.439
four teams in the Mountain West,
you got sixteen teams, Go get a

82
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.959
TV and it'll it'll bring up the
profile of the mount West West. Certainly

83
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:21.560
couldn't hurt. Yeah, yeah,
you know. Gloria Navarrez is the athlete

84
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:29.000
as the commissioner, widely considered very
sharp person, can run circles around the

85
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.959
most recent Pack twelve commissioners. She's
in charge of it. She listened to

86
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.560
her on I met her. She
was at the PAC twelve when I was

87
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.360
working the China Games. Really sharp, sharp person. She was a college

88
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.519
basketball player and I heard her on
a on an episode of the Womner of

89
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.199
podcast Really smartly. So let me
ask you, because this has been a

90
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.800
criticism too, of all the things
that went wrong, what's his name?

91
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.120
Learry Scott was not a it's not
a college dude, right, came from

92
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.959
the Tennis World, Women's Tennis World. Uh, and we saw what happened.

93
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.240
Was not a college you think there
was an issue too. Well,

94
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:08.920
there's a lot there's a lot of
people saying that you had this guy who

95
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.199
wasn't in the college game, and
you hired him, you fired him,

96
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.040
he basically did a crappy job,
and then you ain't got another guy kind

97
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.560
of like him. But they all
were you thinking? And the presidents did

98
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.439
this? Right? The president?
Well, how did they get their job?

99
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:28.720
Because they're academics. They're running universities, they're not running athletic academic program

100
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.720
So that's a So that's a thing, you know. John John Wilmer has

101
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.839
written an interesting column again talking about
the thirty million dollars deal that they had

102
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:43.120
with the ESPN, The why not. Surprisingly, the Washington State Athletic director

103
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:50.120
of very uh outspoken about what what
happened, talking about the fifty million that

104
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.319
the pact twelve one, and he
said two or three schools were interested in

105
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.759
that number. The discussions were that
we really had to close the gap on

106
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.279
the big ten. The commissioner went
off with those us which were unrealistic for

107
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.959
sure. Yeah, and then there
was a source that said they couldn't save

108
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.959
those guys from themselves. The people
with expertise were telling them there was a

109
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.959
path to a deal in the thirty
millions, but not the fifty. Well,

110
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.800
it's on what's the what's the phrase? The blood is on their hands.

111
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.360
Yeah, we're failing to do this. Yeah, and they killed the

112
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.560
conference. Yeah, they killed a
historic athletic conference. I still think that

113
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.279
eventually, and not going by your
theory, but somehow that they'll eventually circle

114
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.519
back everything. Well maybe I hope
so the NBA Hall of Fame. But

115
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.679
but but then you're gonna say,
I really missed chances. I really,

116
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.720
I really miss I really missed that
competition that we got to do. Guys,

117
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.679
you're never picking everybody happy. NBA
put six people in the NBA Hall

118
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.240
of Fame tomorrow, Uh, starting
with the coach, Greg Popovich. Spurs

119
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.799
coach is still the coach, Becky
Hammond uh playing in the NBA and she's

120
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:07.000
also I believe a coach, Dark
Navitsky Uh, Dwayne Wade, and Tony

121
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.600
Parker. It's a great group.
It's a grit group. In fact,

122
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.960
Micky Hammond is the coach of the
Las Vegas bas and she coached with Papovich.

123
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.399
She's gonna she's gonna be a coach
and she's been she's been an assistant.

124
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:20.240
Yeah though, right for Papovich for
a long time. Yeah, yeah,

125
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.840
no, very good coach. She'll
probably be the first female in the

126
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.759
NBA. He was a head coach
of the head coach. Yeah, so

127
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.240
those six go in tomorrow. You
can watch that on the NBA TV channel.

128
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:37.159
Happy birthday too, who remember you

the Cards. Did you see the catch

138
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:26.600

00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.720
blah. And it says you're gonna
have some regrets for that. Regrets.

151
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.000
Have you seen that with this?
Spells it wrong? I would never do

152
00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:24.360
that. I would never do that. Oh hey, going back to this

153
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:33.840
conversation on the on the a SEC
and the the cal and Stanford Nicole Nicole

154
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.399
Arbach from there from the Athletic reporting
that it was Florida State, Clemson,

155
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:46.559
North Carolina and North Carolina State that
were opposed to taking call and Stanford and

156
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.600
one of those would have to flip
because you need twelve votes. And North

157
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.279
Nord of Dames got a vote in
this, but they support it, so

158
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.039
they recommended it, didn't they Yeah, they yeah, Notre Dame wants Stanford

159
00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:58.919
didn't the league. Yeah, I
said, how can we let it?

160
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:05.120
Unbelievable waving the wind out? Here's
this. There's academic great place, but

161
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.679
athletically is a great place. And
they're just in the wind. They're just

162
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.720
in the wind, both of them. Yeah, Okay, I'm not sure

163
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.720
cares about sports they're but they're a
great academic you know, they're one of

164
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.759
the top academies. Like I said
yesterday, I saw Jesus there a few

165
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.600
times on telegraph. Yeah, he's
wandering around it. He's got he's got

166
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.559
a place right there on the sidewalk. And Michael leb wrote a column that

167
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.240
I agree with, and I talked
about this a little bit, saying that

168
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:37.919
Michael Wiley man being very highly underrated. Uh this year he thinks, you

169
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.000
know, he was left off the
the y'all pac twelve list. He was

170
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.000
an honorable mention. Athlons didn't even
have him as one of the top six

171
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.000
running backs in the league. And
Michael as as do. I think he's

172
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.840
gonna be key, and he's gonna
be really, really damn good. You

173
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.200
know, he came on strong at
the end of last year, and I

174
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.960
think he's the guy, and they
think I think people are gonna be surprised.

175
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.840
I'm good he turns out. Yeah, yeah, if it does stay

176
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.840
healthy, does stay healthy exactly,
it's all he got, Steve. Okay,

177
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.840
I just had the Chase Davis catch. I don't think anything else is

178
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:15.559
going on. Yeah, so again, just reminder Cardinal's preseason after right after

179
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.320
well, I'm sure that a year
for this that the Diamondbacks with their little

180
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.519
no big downfall, now want the
manager of the fans want the manager.

181
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.720
They wanted him, but he was
manager of the year before the All Star

182
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.399
break. Now they need to fire
it. But that's how it goes.

183
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.960
Man, that's a tough job.
It's truss. That's what do you get

184
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.399
paid the big bucks exactly exactly.
Oh here I just saw this. I

185
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.360
didn't know that Stanford. Steve was
my buddy who helps with my bets.

186
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.279
He had done the show with the
Bear. He had done the podcast with

187
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.000
Bear where I got all my gambling. Did the podcast, Oh, he

188
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.799
did podcast The Bear's gone over to
you Fox. So Stanford Steve is actually

189
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:56.679
gonna do betting stuff on game day
because he's the ESPN guy and he does.

190
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.679
He does the Scott fan Pelt,
he and Scott van Palter budds and

191
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.360
he does the Sports Center show with
Scott van Pelt. So I don't know

192
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.240
if I can wait to Saturday morning
so to get my gambling in folk Steve

193
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:09.399
for my pick, man, I
gotta you know, we gotta do our

194
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.960
Friday football Friday football pick, or
maybe you just come up to him.

195
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:20.679
We know that's doesn't work very well. It never has. That's what he

196
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.639
ever had. That's the way with
Jack said yesterday that you agreed with him

197
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.559
when the Washington pick is is,
Well, it was just a confirmation for

198
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.919
both of you. So that's just
how it is. I mean, he

199
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.039
needs confirmation. All right, Jake
Fisher is gonna come on, We'll talk

200
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.200
about the latest stuff going on and
get his op. Jake was not a

201
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.720
little league baseball kid, right,
Oh he might have been. He might

202
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.080
have been because it might have been
about some of that put a little basketball

203
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.240
to a think. I know,
I know he was big on the basketball

204
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.840
side of it. But we'll we'll
find out if he plays a little league.

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:30.839
Steve, He's Jake. Now we
get our Friday guest, Jake Fisher,

270
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:36.640
former UVA football player Jakey. I'm
good. It's great to talk with you

271
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.160
guys like, you know, like
we do every Friday. I'm also I

272
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.599
appreciate you guys having me on again. So let me ask you, Jake.

273
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.119
The team is week one, right, pretty much week one or a

274
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.240
little over a week practicing. Does
it become tedious or you know, you

275
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.680
have three weeks before the first game. What happens after week one when you're

276
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.759
kind of just out there in the
heat, Well, the first couple of

277
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.319
weeks, they're gonna grind you a
little bit. And so obviously the first

278
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.359
fifteen crowd practices are so are gonna
be tough. You know, they might

279
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:03.559
go a little bit further than that. It seems like they have a lot

280
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.440
of guys on the offensive side of
the ball that know what they're doing,

281
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.359
so they might take a little bit
more of a a breather. But you

282
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:12.680
know, after you get those first
two two and a half weeks and then

283
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:17.240
you kind of set your focus to
your first game and you start kind of

284
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.720
going through their stuff. But normally, the first half, I would say,

285
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.920
the first fifteen to twenty practices are
normally the toughest. Is it Is

286
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.200
it because you're doing a lot of
the same stuff over and over again,

287
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.640
your fundamentals and stuff or what,
Well, what makes it such a grind

288
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.759
or just that you're not used to
the constant you know, every day of

289
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.960
it. Well, no, it's
obviously a grind, but you just get

290
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.799
tired of hitting people on your own
team. You want to hit someone with

291
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.640
a different colored jersey. So it
just gets a little you know, it

292
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.079
gets a little tiresome, and you
know, you got some you know,

293
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.359
some bruises, and you know,
might pull a couple of things. Who

294
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.319
knows, you might get banged up
a little bit. And but you know,

295
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.039
if you're going against a different team, a lot of those injuries are

296
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:57.920
a lot of those nagging injuries kind
to go away because you know you're going

297
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:00.960
to get to hit somebody else.
How do you keep up with you know,

298
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:04.279
things like you know, getting sleep
and the treatments and all that kind

299
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.960
of stuff. I mean, because
they're throwing a lot at you. It

300
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.839
sounds like Plus said, there's some
you don't have school, so we can

301
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:14.240
throw as much at you as we
want. Yeah, and this is the

302
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:15.559
other thing. If you want to
get on the field, you can't stay

303
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.960
banged up. So you're gonna be
in there the entire time. They have

304
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:23.400
a regiment for you already worked up. You know, if something hurts,

305
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:26.279
they're gonna basically gets you in there
and make you go in there and get

306
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.200
worked on. So it's not like
it's something that's hard to do. Yeah,

307
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.279
it's it's time consuming, But as
long as you know you're in the

308
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.640
right place and you're doing what you
need to do, you know, and

309
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.119
you're not getting injured, then you're
gonna be able to go out perform and

310
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:45.400
hopefully play okay and get at this
time. Is it usually where the offense

311
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.559
is better than the defense, or
defense better than the offense. It really

312
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.079
just depends. Since we have a
lot of guys coming back that played a

313
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.640
lot last year on the offensive side
of the ball, I can see the

314
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.079
offense being a little bit further along
because you don't have to you know,

315
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.279
you don't have to basically we start
from scratch with defense. I know it's

316
00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:04.000
a year two, but a lot
of those guys didn't play a lot last

317
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.039
year. So with a lot of
the guys coming in that have played ball

318
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.039
elsewhere, they haven't played in the
system. So I can see the offense

319
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.000
getting out so a stronger start than
the defense, and then they should get

320
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.880
a little bit more even towards the
end of camp with us my last couple

321
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:19.160
of years, because we had a
lot of guys come back, but we

322
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:22.880
had new installments, you know,
offense, just because we had a lot

323
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.319
of really good athletes on that side
of the ball, they were further ahead.

324
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.440
And then when we started you know
spring ball, or not spring ball,

325
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.440
but cam going into my senior year
because we had a lot of defensive

326
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:36.519
guys coming back. We started out, you know, basically playing better than

327
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:40.200
the offense, and then we go
back and forth. Obviously it's competitiveility practice.

328
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.440
Sorry sorry, I mean you cough
in your ear on that one.

329
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:48.039
Okay, you you had you had, you know, preseason camps with two

330
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.240
different coaches. Who first of all, which one was harder? And why

331
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.200
was one different from the other.
What were the big differences? Stops was

332
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.759
much harder. The only reason was
because we were in the dorms and it

333
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:06.920
literally was from like five am to
like eight thirty pm, so it was

334
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.400
all day. I mean, you
didn't have a lot of free time,

335
00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:11.319
and it was just I mean after
the first week, you're like, when

336
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.640
the hell can I go home?
When it comes to rich rod you know,

337
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.000
we would get to sleep in our
own beds, and you know,

338
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:21.799
we would go in and when we
go in, it would be around ten

339
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:25.200
or eleven, and then it was
just five six hours of just straight nothing

340
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.400
but football, and then we get
to go home again. So you know,

341
00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:30.319
obviously we run a little bit more
during rich Rods, but I mean

342
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:36.000
just being in the same place,
around the exact same people all hours of

343
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.480
the day and not having any available
free time and being in the dorm.

344
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.640
That sucks. Re fresh for Mary. Did you go to Did you go

345
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.839
to Camp Coach Cheese? Yeah?
Oh no, no, no, not

346
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.720
Coach Cheese. We went down the
fair of this most of the time out

347
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.440
Gayle, I think we did all
five years. Oh really, because they

348
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.880
had the military enthusiast or they did
some military stuff right with the army.

349
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:03.039
Yeah, yeah, they did some
like motivational some yeah. Yeah, yeah.

350
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.240
But you weren't in Douglas at Camp
Chief. Okay, no, we

351
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.799
didn't go to Douglas. All right, let me ask you something. It

352
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:11.160
might be a dumb question, but
uh, and I know you were a

353
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:18.799
good student. How difficult is it
to be a student athlete? That's a.

354
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.799
That's a. It's difficult, especially
in season. You know, when

355
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:23.680
you're out of season, especially when
I was in the Business college, you

356
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.039
would you wouldn't have any classes on
Friday, you know, you might have

357
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:30.880
an early whist and then the rest
of the weekend is nothing. But during

358
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.839
uh, during football season, obviously
you're gonna be doing a lot more.

359
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:38.880
You're gonna have practice obviously, you
know you're still gonna have training cable.

360
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.880
You're still gonna have a whipping,
but you're gonna have a lot more film.

361
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.000
Now you're gonna have individual film.
You know, if you didn't have

362
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.799
a great practice, you're gonna have
a lot more treatment because you're getting banged

363
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.799
up every day. And then you
know you have to do between the fifteen

364
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:56.000
to eighteen credits or whatever it is. So it's not just a mental tool,

365
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:57.480
it's the physical tool. And when
I talk to a lot of my

366
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.880
buddies that have jobs seen while they
were in college, I said, the

367
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.440
only difference is that good job.
You're not getting hit by a three hundred

368
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.359
and fifteen pound guy every single time. It's just a little bit different.

369
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.799
It's it's taxing on the body,
on the mind, and uh but yeah,

370
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:15.319
it's all worth it. Okay,
let me if it's worth it.

371
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:19.119
So you have a little little Jake
junior playing football and he's pretty good.

372
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:25.400
You do you beg him to play
college football? Yeah, but I'm just

373
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:27.079
not gonna have him playing tack will
probably he's saying it's in high school.

374
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:30.680
I want him to get you know, I want him to develop a little

375
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:32.920
bit. I don't want him to
have a few years on his body before

376
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.759
he absolutely means too. All Right, I'm gonna ask you because it's going

377
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:40.839
back to the academic piece of this, because I think and I don't know

378
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.839
if you were there, I don't
think. I think it's before you were

379
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:47.720
there. A guy named Daryl Brooks
who works in the athlete or I don't

380
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.720
know if he still works in that, but yeah, they had a run

381
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.200
of guys that were academically ineligible at
the start of a season, Darel Brooks,

382
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.559
So I think it was apparently a
pretty good student. He was quoted

383
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:03.039
in the papers saying, you almost
have to try to be ineligible because of

384
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.559
how much they watch you, they
tutor you, the resources that you have.

385
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.799
Said, if you're ineligible, it's
because you almost tried to be ineligible.

386
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:15.920
Do you agree with that? Yeah, I do. As long as

387
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:18.599
you put in the effort, you're
never going to be eligible. And just

388
00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:23.480
the fact the resources that they have
there. There was only like two classes.

389
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:26.160
I think I needed, you know, an actual tutor, and it

390
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.960
was after the guy with the Business
college. After I graduated from high school,

391
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:34.000
I didn't take CALC and for one
of my classes I needed to have

392
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:40.359
CALC one and some other higher mass
deal. So I had to take both

393
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:42.799
of those during one summer and that
was absolutely hell because I had to go

394
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.920
back five years and we learned precals
and do all that stuff. Even so,

395
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:48.359
but I mean, you're gonna have
a tutor there. I had a

396
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.079
tutor that would sit with me,
you know, every day, you know,

397
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.640
during a summer Jordan summer school course, and I mean he'd be there

398
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.279
three four hours with me every single
day. So you have all the resources

399
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:06.319
that you need. Okay, super
super So okay. So we're three weeks

400
00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:11.599
away from from the season. Uh, your opinion still seven eight games?

401
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.400
Uh, you know you're hearing anything
different. We're starting to get preseason previews,

402
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:22.160
those kinds of things. Still standing
Pad on your call. Yeah,

403
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.000
I'm still thinking that we're gonna win
seven and then we get to a bowl

404
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.759
game. We're gonna have We're gonna
get over our bowl hangover. I guess

405
00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:32.680
it's the best way to put it. Still hearing nothing but great things about

406
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:36.400
the receivers. Obviously, one of
the top tip ends of the pack is

407
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:40.559
coming back, you know, returning
quarterbacks second year in the system, which

408
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:44.440
is awesome. You have what looks
like two or three future to you know,

409
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.240
day one or day two offensive linemen, and then as long as the

410
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.119
defensive A lot of these new spaces, you know, can cause more turnovers

411
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.440
and maybe you know, provide a
little bit more resistance. I don't see

412
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:59.279
a reason why we can't take five
wins to seven or eight. So I'm

413
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.720
sticking in my position. As long
as there's no major injuries, I think

414
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.839
we're gonna be good. And I
think a team max is gonna leave the

415
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:10.400
pack in touchdown cashes, and I
think Coln might leave the pack in reception

416
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:12.359
and maybe even be up there in
yards. We have about six minutes,

417
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.839
so let's go through the schedule and
because we have a couple of games that

418
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:21.119
we wanted to talk about because that
they need to win to get to seven

419
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:22.720
or six. Yeah, uh,
and we'll go. Let's go real quick

420
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:30.000
through the individual games. Win.
Okay, Mississippi State, you know,

421
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:37.240
but at Mississippi State. And this
is the thing, like this past year

422
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.519
when we weren't ready for a big, physical team like that, I think

423
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:44.319
we come back. JETI says,
let's go get them back, and then

424
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:47.000
we go, you know, to
Mississippi State and win. I don't think

425
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:49.160
it's gonna be a blowout. I
just think we're gonna win and that to

426
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.440
get to seven or eight. That's
probably one of the games that if they

427
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:55.440
win this game, if they win
that game, they're gonna get to six

428
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.319
p seven for sure. Seven.
Okay, so then you tap you win,

429
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.480
right, every agree? So you're
three and you're three, and then

430
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:07.000
you go you open the league leagues, uh and go to Stanford. Go

431
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:12.079
to Stanford at the wour all right, Washington here, Washington, that's gonna

432
00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:15.720
be tough. I think we keep
it closer than people expect. I don't

433
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:22.119
expect we win that game to usc
that one. I'm just because I'm gonna

434
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.640
go you know, I'm gonna go
head overheard on this one. I don't

435
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.279
think we're winning that one either.
Okay, all right, then stay on

436
00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:33.400
the road going to Washington State.
When see that's that's the game. That's

437
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:37.279
there's two games that we think that's
a key one. And then these three

438
00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:45.559
games actually Washington State, then Oregon
State comes here and they they've proven over

439
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.279
the last couple of years that they
got their stuff together. I just don't

440
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.200
trust their new quarterback. Yeah,
I know he was supposed to be all

441
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:55.759
world, but you know, he
didn't really live up to the you know,

442
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.920
the hype. But their offensive line
is gonna be freaking awesome again under

443
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.799
the hall check. And uh they
might have the best running back in the

444
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.079
league too. Yeah, let's let's
skip that when I come back. Okay,

445
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:10.519
Okay, we're four and two,
we're four two, Okay, four

446
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:12.119
two, okay, four two,
but on a on a on a two

447
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.160
game losing streak, all right,
Uh no, then you know you put

448
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.039
Washington so five and two, okay, five and two, five and two,

449
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:23.119
Uh, UCLA here, they're gonna
have a freshman quarterback. They're gonna

450
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:27.359
want revenge, but I think we'll
beat them. Okay, six and two

451
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:37.599
at Colorado when seven and two two
got your seven? Utah here loss seven

452
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.880
to three at a s U,
Okay, that's a w. And we're

453
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:45.640
gonna lose the Oregon State so we
might get your state. You're saying,

454
00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:52.240
you're going yeah. So, originally
I was thinking the three games Mississippi State,

455
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.519
Washington State, and Oregon State.
I was thinking that we had to

456
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:57.720
win one of those, and that's
looking like as long as we keep that

457
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.799
constant, it looks like if we
win just one of those three, we're

458
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.599
gonna be at seven and they go
to a bowl game. All right,

459
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:10.160
Yeah, well, I have never
accused you of not being a fan friendly

460
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:15.799
or a program. I just like
to take people at their best, you

461
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.400
know. Yeah, But you know
what, here's the thing, Jake,

462
00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:22.920
and this is this is what I
love about it is that we're not sitting

463
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:27.720
here going loss loss, loss,
loss, Okay, Colorado win loss,

464
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:30.680
loss, loss. You know.
I mean, I like the fact that

465
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.759
you had to think about USC,
right, you had to think a little

466
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:38.240
bit about Washington. Now you didn't
think much about Utah. And I kind

467
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.440
of agree with that. But you
know that you can't even think that they

468
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.480
might even might have a chance to
win those games. My thing is,

469
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.000
if we get a couple of those
guys back, you know, for their

470
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.279
third fourth season, and they're in
you know there, well, I'm we're

471
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.720
in year four with jet fishing these
guys, then I might say, hey,

472
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.440
we can keep it close or competitive
with like a Utah is they have

473
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:05.440
like everyone basically does their job on
every single play, almost down to a

474
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.440
tea. They might not have the
same athletes and stuff as an FC or

475
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.319
an Oregan, but at the same
time, It's like, you know,

476
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:14.279
they have a shot against anybody they
play, it doesn't matter who it is.

477
00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.480
So when it comes to see you
know, sometimes they show up and

478
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.200
they're just so lazy that they can
get beat with the revenge factor there.

479
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.599
You know, sometimes I'm like,
ah, I want to give it to

480
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:29.200
them. The same thing with Washington. The only thing I'm happy about is

481
00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:31.319
we got Washington at home. I
think that if they come out firing on

482
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:36.960
all cylinders, you know, they
have a chance. But sc especially with

483
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.079
that monster, they have that quote
pack there, and just because they always

484
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:43.079
have, you know, the best
athletes in the conference, they stuff to

485
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.519
pick on that one. I totally
agree with you. You see against as

486
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:52.720
they always played down they always they
have. So I don't know. Eight

487
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.319
wins, Jake, seven wins,
okay, and I'll leave you alone.

488
00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:00.680
I'm writing the Jake train, Jake
just taking You're going to get more.

489
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.119
We need to get more of your
listeners on that track, because as long

490
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:07.759
as that defense provides some resistance against
some turnovers, with the guys that we

491
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:12.640
have coming back, you know,
I mean we have three or four awesome

492
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:15.920
red zone threats, you know,
So I don't think we're going to be

493
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:20.240
leaving the red zone without scoring touchdowns, and I'm insanely high schools. I'm

494
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.519
kind of happy about that. So
when you're watching games, and I know

495
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:24.200
you're an intense dude, do you
watch Black last year? How did you

496
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:29.319
watch Arizona's defense? Were you frustrated
a lot or throwing stuff at the tv?

497
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.359
How was your demeanor? Oh,
I can't watch the game with other

498
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:37.359
people. I just can't do that. I'm the one that will throw a

499
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.119
remote on the one that'll basically go
on a five minute ran about how crappy

500
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.160
the pack twelve rests were every single
damn game, you know, even if

501
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:46.480
it was even if it wasn't our
fault, but you know, they're getting

502
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:50.039
held on the other side of the
screen. It's like, you guys call

503
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:53.519
this crap whenever we do it.
So, you know, if I show

504
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.920
a little you know, poise,
yeah, I just I can't do that.

505
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.279
My wife doesn't go in the room
when the games on. She kind

506
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.960
of rolls her eyes to get stuff
off the couch and walked out of the

507
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.039
house. Uh. You know,
whenever we have people over and I say,

508
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:08.320
hey, the game's on, They're
like, yeah, we're gonna go

509
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:14.400
do something else. And thankfully because
it was Pac twelve. You know,

510
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.559
if we go out to eat and
go out to a barn or go over

511
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:19.280
to somebody else's house and he doesn't
have to pass fill network, I don't

512
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.280
have to worry about it, you
know what I mean? So yeah,

513
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.559
I stop to watching with people.
Okay, well maybe this year you might

514
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:28.159
be a little bit more calm,
but we'll see. Let's say, at

515
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.079
least call him for more games.
There you go, Okay, that's probably

516
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:35.800
right. Hey, Jake, thanks
so much, man, Thank you guys

517
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:38.679
people Jake, for sure, we
forget Jake. You still there. They

518
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.880
know where to find him. He's
all over the place. You can go.

519
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.599
You can get Jake's information off of
our web, off of our our

520
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:49.079
Facebook feed. You get the link
to his website, to his Facebook page.

521
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.480
But he's never without an opinion,
and we love I love him for

522
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.280
that, you know when he was
doing our show with the sports guys.

523
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:59.199
But but he's a little too overzealous
for me. You know. Look,

524
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:02.360
he's he's he's a he's an optimistic
Arizona fan. I can know a bunch

525
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:07.360
of other guys who would saying eight
four as well. I'm still I'm still

526
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.159
in the sixth six. And if
they hit one of those, like you

527
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:13.320
said, they hit Mississippi State one
of those. Now you're talking a little

528
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:16.239
check you check on you checked recently
about the over under. Right, let's

529
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:19.760
come back and still five? Still
five? I think, I think,

530
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.719
I think that's skeezy money too.
I just do. Yeah, it's it's

531
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:24.440
a drop from five and a half. But I got it at well,

532
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:28.320
I got it at five, but
it was five and a half. But

533
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.679
it's five. It's been five for
a while. Okay, somebody somewhere had

534
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:32.920
at four and a half for a
while. I don't know where one at

00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.719
This is I on the Ball with
Steve Rivera and Jacob Salas on Fox

597
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:14.199
Sports fourteen FI Games. Hey,
welcome back to on the Ball here on

598
00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:16.360
Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve
Rivera, You're Jake gonna call I'm gonna

599
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:23.000
call hw You're on the and I
on the Ball. Yeah, Trob wanted

600
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:27.199
to call in and say that I
agree with Jake. I think we're gonna

601
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:30.599
win seven or eight games this year. And uh, I think with I

602
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:34.760
worked more in my head a lot
of times with the OVA, but I

603
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:37.559
can see seven or eight wins this
year, which are the key games that

604
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:43.599
you gotta win. It can't blow
any of the early games, that's for

605
00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:46.480
sure, they can't. I think
they can beat I think we can beat

606
00:40:46.519 --> 00:40:50.480
Oregon State. I know they always
have our number, but I think we

607
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:53.960
can win that game. And uh, we can't blow games like at Colorado

608
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.760
or anything like that, or Stanford. I don't know. It just they

609
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.800
just gotta be up for every single
game and not have a letdown. And

610
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:08.039
I just think they're all important.
And Washington State, like you guys said,

611
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:12.360
that's a tough one to pick because
the Cougar usually have been pretty good

612
00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:16.960
lately and hand it's up there.
Yeah. And then just a comment on

613
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:22.480
Lavello, that guy they were winning
in spite of Tory Lavello in the first

614
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.320
half of the season. That guy
looks like he's a sleep during every single

615
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:30.079
game. He and then he made
a comment about three or four weeks ago

616
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:35.000
that he doesn't have a closer because
he doesn't use a closer. He just

617
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:38.400
goes with whatever whoever is right for
the situation. Or you look at all

618
00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:43.000
the winning teams in baseball, they
usually have a pretty good closure to lockdown

619
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.360
the game because I don't know how
many games they've brought in grubs like McGuff

620
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:52.159
and even what's his name with the
guy that they sent back to Milwaukee Shape

621
00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:57.400
and those guys and then Hayes and
can't they can't get a pitching staff to

622
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.599
save their lives in there, and
I think Hayton hand Lavello will have to

623
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:04.679
go to turn that program around.
Well, they certainly aren't happy up there

624
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:08.320
with the way they got gone and
how they're just getting rolled now they're they're

625
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:13.079
fading fast. Well you saw you
were there, You were there. There

626
00:42:13.239 --> 00:42:16.079
was it any attendance? Yeah,
yeah, Well that's the other thing.

627
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:19.719
You know. The Dodgers are in
town right, usually draws a big crowd,

628
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:23.679
and there was maybe twenty five they're
at the most, and about twenty

629
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:28.039
thousand of them had Dodger heads on. They did. I was one of

630
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:31.760
them. Yeah, I think to
start fire, Eason has to go because

631
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:36.079
that guy hasn't done anything since he's
been a general manager. They haven't gotten

632
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:39.760
any better in the bullpen. I
don't know. They had maybe two pitchers

633
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:44.960
that can pitch. Gallen and and
uh but he sucked lately too, and

634
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:50.000
uh barall Kelly's hurt again, I
guess. But I appreciate your guys show,

635
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.079
and hopefully we can win May nine
games this year. All right,

636
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.400
man, I love you, I
love you. Thanks thanks for calling.

637
00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:59.480
We do appreciate it. Thank you. Take the guys have a good weekend.

638
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:02.079
Appreciate it. I think it is
hard to a lot stronger than his

639
00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:06.559
head. But you know what is
Steve. I love the optimism. I

640
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:09.280
love I love the fact that people
are talking like that. It hasn't this

641
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:13.199
good since someone first year. And
then we know how that to be.

642
00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:15.800
I mean, how many games do
we go to? We just covered our

643
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:17.880
eyes. We went into the statem
and you know, even even you know

644
00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:22.079
a Jed fishes first year, Oh
we thought they were more competitive. They

645
00:43:22.119 --> 00:43:24.719
were still losing, but you know
in some games there were some games were

646
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:29.039
bad. They lost bad. So
no, I like it. I like

647
00:43:29.119 --> 00:43:31.320
it a lot. No, that's
the one thing that they're buying into the

648
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:36.400
system, buying into for Jed.
Uh good good for that, good,

649
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:42.400
good for good for everyone. Yeah. So I know, man, the

650
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:45.400
Mississippi State game will tell us a
lot. You know, they can keep

651
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:47.280
that close even you know, you
have a chance to win in the fourth

652
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:52.159
quarter or something like that. Who
we placed leech? Was it? Somebody

653
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.079
was defensive coordinator? Okay, yeah, it was this defensive coordinator. So

654
00:43:57.159 --> 00:43:59.800
there's a question, you know,
because they've changed up their offense. You

655
00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:02.320
know, they got that that quarterback
that killed Arizona last year. He's back,

656
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:06.559
but he's got a different had some
good receivers too. I don't know

657
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:08.039
if they were good. They were, you know, they were good.

658
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:14.360
Arizona was outmatched in that game.
They were just more physical. The guy

659
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:16.800
the quarterback was really poised. If
you remember, I think they played North

660
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:20.639
Dakota State last year, right,
Yes, that was a game that they

661
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:24.039
that was a difficult game and that
kind of not saved their season, but

662
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:27.760
to me kind of did. It
was a game that win and it gave

663
00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.079
him the belief. Right and even
though you know they talked about North Dakota

664
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.440
State, you know, well,
they're better than a lot a lot of

665
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:36.440
Power five teams. So that was
a hard game for them to win and

666
00:44:36.480 --> 00:44:38.480
the fact that they did win that
because that was a very key game that

667
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:43.000
they needed that game. And how
much how much do fans feel better about

668
00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:46.239
five and seven than four and eight
without questions? Five and seven you just

669
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:49.559
missed a bowl game, you know, if you're played better against it,

670
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.960
and you said that. They've said
this on this show at number of times.

671
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.360
A couple of plays here and there, play here, play there,

672
00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:58.400
whereas if you're four and eight,
you weren't close. Yeah. Right,

673
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:00.480
it's a big difference. It's a
huge Yeah. Yeah, you're different.

674
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:04.639
Yeah, because because that's what we're
reaching for when we're at Arizona right now.

675
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:06.599
Yeah, if you guys going to
call in, we got about seven

676
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.159
minutes, eight minutes, give us
a quick call before we end the week

677
00:45:08.360 --> 00:45:12.840
with the shows. As we get
closer to you, a football love of

678
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.320
the fact that we're talking about football. High school football comes up too.

679
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:17.719
We'll have some coaches with that.
We'll start getting some coaches in and then

680
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:22.400
you have some some the minor sports. I has a new coach, right

681
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:27.559
right, I think so, because
Malcolm Nelson filled in last year the Sugar

682
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.639
Skulls assistant and then they hired a
new coach. I heard him on one

683
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:34.199
of the stations. He sounded really
you know, positive. Really, he's

684
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:36.960
already been on sounding really good.
So again we'll get you know, we'll

685
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:40.679
start leaning towards that as well.
But you know, it's it's it's football

686
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:45.039
time, man, you can you
can feel it. Three weeks until Arizona's

687
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:50.599
on the field, two weeks until
there's some college football this week zero zero.

688
00:45:50.639 --> 00:45:53.960
In fact, new school State plays. Don Brown goes to cruises to

689
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:58.519
play them. Oh man, are
you gonna no, god, no,

690
00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:00.480
what about Steve? What kind of
a I are you that a good one?

691
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:04.719
That a good one. I'm not
triving four hours to see that game.

692
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:07.599
We should get done on before.
Oh yeah, that'd be funny.

693
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:10.559
Before that be good, be good. We gotta get let's try let's let's

694
00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:15.599
try that. Uh, and we'll
try to get well. YouTube plays when

00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:20.079
they play here, YouTube plays are
right, we'll go Dana we had before.

696
00:46:20.079 --> 00:46:22.360
We'll get him again. He's been
on the show. Yeah, they

697
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:23.840
meant they were. They were pretty
good last year. I recall, right,

698
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:29.000
better than for you tap. They
were very good. Yeah, good

699
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:32.519
comparatively. So let's say I'm trying
to look at the week zero schedule on

700
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:37.960
Saturday the twenty six, you've got
Navy and Order Dame or the game that's

pretty damn good. So yeah,
you know, let's see what happens over

730
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:37.280
there. But that should be fun. It should be a lot of fun.

731
00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:44.199
But you know, again, I
just got it's funny because I was

732
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:49.559
listening to Wilmer's podcast and just talk
about all the stuff that they missed or

733
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:53.280
that that that the whole realignment they
interfered with their families. Yeah, stuff

734
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:57.000
like that, you know, always
having to be have your phone at the

735
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.800
ready, taking your computer with you
everywhere you went. It was not about

736
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:02.800
he went to a beach somewhere and
he had he had his back back with

737
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:07.039
him. There's in case something.
Bro Oh, dude, I don't I

738
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:09.559
don't miss those days at all,
those days and I don't miss you know,

739
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:14.159
well, my wife, uh my
ex wife. Now, didn't we

740
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:15.840

going on? You know what's going He

741
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:20.159
couldn't eat dinner without people knowing.
And it's part of the job. It's

742
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:22.159
part of the job. Your accept
it was part of the time. And

743
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:24.000
then they did too, but you
know it's it's you can never get away

744
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.000
from it. And some people have
a stomach to do it forever, right

745
00:49:29.280 --> 00:49:31.199
right, Some people like me say
enough, I don't know, of course,

746
00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:34.800
and you've probably made the right move, but you had your own issues

747
00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:40.199
are probably late night calls, uh
pr stuff people, you know, power

748
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:44.679
outages. Sure, so you're working, you know, Barrios is working for

749
00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:49.360
them, all right. He was
a formula. So you know, it's

750
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:52.760
you give up one for the other
for anything. Yeah, right, Yeah.

751
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.360
I was out there, you know, in the storms, wearing a

752
00:49:54.400 --> 00:50:00.119
hard hat, you know, stepping
over power lines. You know, not

753
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:02.280
really so much of that, just
kind of staying over by the truck because

754
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:06.119
I just stayed out of the way. But you know, yeah, I

755
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:07.199
mean that was part of that job. Sure, but I will say I

756
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:12.960
paid a whole lot more to do
that than dinners were a little bit better.

757
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:15.440
Yeah, business trips were good.
Yeah, uh, you know,

758
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:19.000
go to New York once in a
while and stuff like that. But I

759
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:21.599
had a lot of fun. Okay, So no two about two minutes.
