WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:07.639 Breaking down all the exes and ohs. It's Steve la Vera and jaygen Salmins. 2 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.839 This is I on the Ball on Fox Sports fourteenth fifty. Hey, 3 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.280 welcome back to win the ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, 4 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:22.320 He's Jay now and at least with some breaking news. This is I 5 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:28.879 on the Ball, breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, 6 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.759 welcome to breaking news on I on the Ball. So starting off, we 7 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.560 have a couple things. So the first I wanted to start it was start 8 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.920 with was last night Ronel Blanco through the first no hitter of the MLB season 9 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.159 for the Astros. Wait, oh, go ahead, go ahead, because 10 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.119 I was gonna say some here. He knows what I when I say. 11 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.240 He threw one hundred and five pitches and struck out seven of the Blue Jays 12 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.880 and this is the seventeenth no hitter in Astros history. So first one of 13 00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.960 the season, I mean the season started, you know, over many days 14 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:11.359 ago, five days ago, already crying. Yeah, he hats everything, 15 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.439 he's well, yeah, I mean I had anything when the ass was do 16 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.400 well. Yeah, we did have Francisco on fun. We had fun with 17 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.400 it, mate, you know, we gave each other some crap. I 18 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.599 told him he needed to get his butt over and work for the Dodgers someday. 19 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.560 And this was only his eighth career start in them. Wow, that's 20 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.840 a big deal. That's a big deal. And it was only because the 21 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.040 two people who would have been before him were injured. He was the third 22 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.599 strike. Were you able to find out if it's the earliest snow hereter thrown. 23 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.280 I didn't see anything about that. I think it's just because something, 24 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.719 but I can't remember. I thought it was just that it was the first 25 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.840 one of this season, which is like, I mean, obviously, yeah, 26 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.280 but I think it might have been the earliest one to ever be thrown 27 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.640 during the regular season ever close to really, Yeah, I mean that would 28 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.400 make sense. Yeah, the season started. Yeah, it's been a week. 29 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.240 Yeah, not even a week. Yeah, so because we don't count 30 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.680 those first two games of daughters, right right, right? Okay, yeah, 31 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.599 but eighth is eighth MLB start? Crazy all right? Then I was 32 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.199 going to talk about L s U and versus Iowa and the twelve point three 33 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.199 million viewers We kind of already talked about it. This was three million more 34 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.759 viewers than last year's game. So the last year's titles, last year's title 35 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.479 game three million. More so, it's been kind of up and coming ever 36 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.919 since. This season really took off. Obviously in Kaitlyn Clark has been a 37 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.199 who catalyst of that. Let's go there now because we talked about it before 38 00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:45.319 the break, Why well, how is this happening, especially because it's these 39 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.479 two teams? No, I well, well, first of all is what 40 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.439 it's what happened last year and you know this was national championship game. That's 41 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.199 the first thing. You know, the intrigue Angel Reese and and and Kaitlyn 42 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:07.800 Clark have continue needed to be uh you know, high profile figures because the 43 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.919 way they played, uh you know during the season, there was you know, 44 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.800 clearly the back and forth that happened in the championship game Kaitlin Kaylen Clark, 45 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.919 you know, saying some stuff Angel is coming back at her. And 46 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.080 so I think that that created a lot of intrigue, but that in created 47 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.039 that created intrigue for the whole season. Kaylyn Clark's a really compelling player. 48 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.120 People have been fascinated by her, but Angel Reese's too, uh maybe not 49 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.599 for the same reason because she doesn't shoot from a mile away. Let me 50 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.840 ask you this and be careful how you answer, because it's a weird question. 51 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.039 So Ben Bolches call him. You knew what he was doing. Had 52 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.360 he not use the words that he used, it kind of would have been 53 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.639 well yeah, because yeah, because yeah, because you know, look, 54 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.039 fans love having good guys and bad guys, and that's what this was, 55 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.199 and that's what he was. That's what he's trying to do. He sees 56 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.319 a lot of a lot of really unfortunate you expressed in a lot of really 57 00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:06.039 unfortunate ways. Because there's good guys. Duke's the bad guys yeah to Arizona. 58 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:13.439 Depends on what you want. The dude who was always tripping guys for 59 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:20.920 Duke, uh, he's in the yeah bad guy, bad guy right unless 60 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.399 you unless right, unless I was the Phoenix guy. I don't like when 61 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.040 people say that he was always tripping people. Well, he did it. 62 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.240 He did it a number of video that though. I know. But you 63 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.240 know, people love to have sure bad guys and it's a drama game and 64 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.279 they love to have good guys, all right. In this I'll just say 65 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.639 in this particular case, you know, the bad guy is an African American 66 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.920 girl, the good guy is in people's minds is is uh? You know 67 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.560 what do you want to say? You know what a Caucasian girl? You 68 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:57.120 know, and people with the way things are in this country right now, 69 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.160 people lose their minds. Of course, I didn't throwing the throwing the situation, 70 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.519 the Kim Molk thing, and you know what to people out there, 71 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.959 Kaylen Clark's the bad guy. He's a trash talker, like, yeah, 72 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:12.279 nobody's business. She's hard. In fact, they don't want her to succeed, 73 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.199 right because because of that. So it's just element. You know at 74 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.079 LSU, who's the bad guy? Kaylyn Clark's the bad guy? Right? 75 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.040 You know in Tucson, Arizona, you know everybody at Duke is a bad 76 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.399 guy, or everybody SU is a bad guy. And then when you see 77 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.040 the game thirteen million or whatever, a great game, fantastic game. They 78 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.800 stayed watching. H you didn't get the craziness. They played basketball and it 79 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:38.160 was a great game. And then Moki didn't dress over the top. She's 80 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.839 dressed normally. I don't know if you noticed it, and you're thinking what 81 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.560 happened? Yeah, so, but I think all that intrigue for whatever reason, 82 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.519 you know, created a back and then a women's basketball season that people 83 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.680 were interested in, curious. They watched this all year long. They did 84 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.600 ls. You averaged four point seven million viewers per game this season. And 85 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.519 what I didn't say Iowa because I'm sure there's more, probably more, bigger 86 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.279 numbers, probably more. So, you know, it's just they were very 87 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.920 you know. And then Juju Watkins, you know, you know, add 88 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.759 and Alsodden. Here's this freshman that plays like a senior and plays like an 89 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:23.399 NBA player, and and you know, it just there's no interest. It 90 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:29.560 had all the elements of good bad coaching rivalry. And then look and then 91 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.160 South Carolina undefeated again and then really damn good. You know what. I 92 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.519 think that helps them because the focus isn't on them, right, and it's 93 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.079 on these other guys. You know, they're gonna you know, if they 94 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.920 wind up playing Iowa in the in the that'll be in the That's what a 95 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.720 game that will be. How much is that gonna be? And who are 96 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.560 people going to be rooting for? That's gonna be the bigger than the thirteen. 97 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.199 I mean, they got to play Connecticut. You know, I was 98 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.040 matched up against Connecticut in the in the semi finals. But they these teams 99 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.399 that are in the in the National, in the in the final four. 100 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:00.839 That's going to just draw a lot of interest. People are going to be 101 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.560 watching those games on Friday and Sunday. Yeah, I'll be watching on Sunday. 102 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.600 I mean, how can you not. Yeah then well Friday will be 103 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.560 in Phoenix, but we'll see, okay, Yeah, all right. So 104 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.959 I wanted to talk about a few Arizona things which I thought was kind of 105 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.959 funny. I remember last week how I brought up that the for the basketball 106 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.199 team heading to the Sweet sixteen, they did like the send off McHale. 107 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.519 They did that again today for the gymnastics team, and that has to be 108 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.600 something with the new ad, like a send off with a bunch of people 109 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:35.279 outside of McHale, you know, with signs, probably say for the gymnastics 110 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.519 team going to NCAA Regionals, And they did it last week. It was 111 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.959 it was bigger for the men's basketball team. But very cool. Yeah. 112 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.319 I thought that was cool. Yeah, that is very cool. And then 113 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.040 today Arizona softball rank the coaches Pull rankings came out today and Arizona Softball is 114 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.240 holding steady at number twenty one despite being twenty I mean, they're doing good. 115 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.680 They're twenty two and eleven, five and seven in the Pac twelve. 116 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.720 They lost two out of three to Stanford, Yeah over the weekend, which 117 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.279 was unfortunate, but yeah, you know they're they're doing okay. You know, 118 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.480 probably one of those teams that if they can get hot and stuff, 119 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.959 they can you know, get into some postseason stuff. We'll see, Yeah, 120 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.040 and then something else I saw. We've never I've never talked about this 121 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.279 on here, and I played beach volleyball, but one of Arizona's pair, 122 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.600 Anti cost and Hope Shannon from Arizona Beach Volleyball are undefeated on the year nine 123 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:35.759 to zero, with wins this past weekend over GCU number sixteen g c U 124 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.080 and number eighteen Stenson. So how is that going to play out in the 125 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.000 Big twelve. I have no idea, Yeah, because you'd think that they 126 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.960 wouldn't have a pee and they wouldn't have many teams. It's like for women's 127 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.039 it's like you know, becoming a bigger Yeah, but in the Big twelve, 128 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.480 where there's no beach or anything. There's no beach here. What I'm 129 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.200 saying, it's in the car, we're within reach of a beach and the 130 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.960 cold, cold still in the middle of the you know, they do like 131 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.840 indoor beach volleyballs. Yeah, they have a stimulated wind. I've heard. 132 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.919 I don't know all the beach I don't know about the Big twelve schools, 133 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.240 but I know like in kind of like the Middle East and stuff like that, 134 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.320 they have beach or not the Midwest. I mean in the Middle East, 135 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.519 in the Midwest and they have Yeah, they have stimulated wind in indoor 136 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.720 beach. All I'm looking at the I'm looking at the Big twelve list of 137 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.039 sports and beach volleyball is not on it. Really, so what happened is 138 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.600 they'll get into a league probably yeah, from the West, you know, 139 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.720 because that that that's what because the Big twelve doesn't have as many sports as 140 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:45.039 the pet isn't the average seventeen. Yeah, they talked to me. So 141 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.320 they don't have all the sports that well, they certainly don't have. They 142 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.960 have a question in that Arizona does well that and what about what about they 143 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.519 don't have triath They don't have the triathlon. They have rowing, but Back 144 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.120 twelve has rowing. Just Arizona doesn't have a rowing team. You know all 145 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.039 the standards baseball, batman's women's basketball, cross country, football, golf, 146 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.159 gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track, volleyball, 147 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:16.639 and wrestling. But then they have rowing, rowing, and equestry. 148 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.240 So well, you have any more stuff, I'm sure you do. I 149 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.440 have a few more things. I know you wanted to talk about. Eric 150 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.000 Musselman, Arkansas head basketball coach. Is there's rumors he may be interviewing for 151 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.399 the USC head coaching position. Yeah, he doesn't like it in Arkansas, 152 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.200 apparently not. He doesn't. He's gotten with two Elite eights and a Sweet 153 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.080 sixteen, and the fans are on his crap because they had a bad year 154 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.399 this year. Fans are on fans are crazy. Yesterday, I don't know 155 00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.559 if you have this, but the Tennessee coach got let go and she's been 156 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.679 to four or five sweet sixteens, but she We talked about this yesterday, 157 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.080 right circling back to the no hitter, was it was the earliest? Now 158 00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:01.799 he really? Wow? Cool? Yeah, I mean that makes sense. 159 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:09.200 Yep, his eighth career start unbelievable. Yeah, okay, anymore, Yeah, 160 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.159 I have one more thing. I know you guys talked about baseball last 161 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.840 week, but Clark Candiotti was named Top Cat of the Week because he pitched 162 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.639 his first career complete game and earned the win against UCLA. We know, 163 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:26.279 they swept Ucla three to zero and a career high twelve strikeouts and the first 164 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.120 twelve strikeout game by an Arizona player since twenty eighteen. Cool. Yeah, 165 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.039 no, I saw him throw and he looks really good. Yeah. He's 166 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:41.120 a big dude. He brings it, he throws hard. He was very 167 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.679 impressive.

Okay, that's it, all right. I have one more 189 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:28.519 thing. Well, I mean I'm following this. So two four seven Sports 190 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:35.559 put out a football recruiting ranking for the Big twelve. Uh. Unfortunately they 191 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:41.080 only rank fourteen teams, leaving out Colorado and Arizona. So I just sent 192 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:45.840 a nice, a snarky reply to that, saying, you guys do know 193 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.559 that there are two more teams in the league and aren't listening did you did 194 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:58.120 you do you like Rodriguez Rodriguez Yankee Yankee Alex Rodricks as you like? Not 195 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.799 particularly, Okay, so I won't even we only start that because it's we 196 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.279 only have a minute. But he, you know, he was gonna buy 197 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.759 the Minnesota that fell through because of egos and people with rich with you know, 198 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.679 rich people with money gon to fight.

Yeah, so you knowing the Timberwolves. 200 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.759 He was trying to another part of a group three billion I think it 201 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.039 was, and that's no longer because the owner. Oh no, it's one 202 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.440 in half. Now that they're doing really well, the value went up twice. 203 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.559 If any kind of like a hot head, he's kind of there's a 204 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.320 lot of things.

Hey, welcome back to EE on the 278 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.279 Ball, you know Fox Sports fourteen. Cookie, I'm Steve, He's Jake, 279 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.519 and at least with us today. Now we have Brett Farrah from the 280 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.240 Arizona Daily. Start Brett, How are you thank How are you thank you? 281 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.440 How was your quick trip to Los Angeles last week? You know, 282 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:11.240 I think mine was a little longer than yours, only because I was able 283 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.839 to loop it in with seeing my parents for the first time in a while. 284 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.400 So I stayed through the weekend and and got a little bit of relaxation 285 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:21.519 out of the deal. I guess that's the one benefit off Arizona losers. 286 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.720 The work stops, but get to get to sort of still hang around. 287 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.640 But but yeah, it was, it was, It was fine. It 288 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.559 was. It was interesting. As you know from covering them for so long, 289 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:32.920 they're always interesting. It's funny though, I thought you could to say 290 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.240 my trip was not longer than yours, because when I traveled six hours with 291 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.880 Brian Peterson, and that alone makes it twenty four hours I get there, 292 00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.200 that makes it a lot longer. I spent the week in Albuquoquie one day. 293 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:52.000 Yeah, it was like that. It's too funny. So Brett like 294 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.359 like like us, you've seen the news. Uh, doctor Robbins will be 295 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.559 leaving at the Arizona sometime you know, in the next uh what fifteen months, 296 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.279 but could be soon if they go find a president and he's he's agreed 297 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:10.160 to step down if a new president gets gets picked. But you know, 298 00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:14.519 those of us who follow sports love you know, U of a sports have 299 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:18.480 always liked the fact that he's very interested, committed to it. Some people 300 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.799 made didn't like some decisions he made coaching, coaching wise, and stuff like 301 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:23.880 that. But in the end, you know, when your university has a 302 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.599 president who's committed to athletics, you know, it's generally good because we've had 303 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.240 ones that were not. Your thoughts on him leaving and what you think, 304 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.839 uh, what kind of role do you think athletics will play in, you 305 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:42.119 know, getting the next president? I think what's interesting, and I mean, 306 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.839 please forgive me and I'll try to correct you. But what surprised me 307 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:52.079 this morning was it actually like twenty six months. It's twenty six and I 308 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:53.720 just can't fathom it's going to be that long that he's in the role. 309 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.680 Once you once you put this out there, my guess is it's it's you 310 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:02.680 know, logic says months sometime by the end of the calendar year, but 311 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:03.880 that's you know, who knows. It could be sooner than that. It 312 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.200 could take a little longer. But to your point, you know, I 313 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.440 was, actually I was I was working on campus. I was working with 314 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.920 the students that the Daily Wildcat back when he was his first day on campus, 315 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.720 and he came by the newsroom. It was part of his car wash 316 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.079 on campus, and you know, we had set up to have you know, 317 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:23.000 archives of the daily Wildcat out and stuff like that, and the first 318 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.599 thing he did was turned to the page from whatever day. It was April 319 00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:32.160 first of ninety seven, the day after winning the national championship. And so 320 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.240 the students start asking him, literally his first day on the job, well, 321 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:37.559 who are some of your favorite Arizona Wildcats players? And he's not just 322 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.559 saying like Mike Bibbie and play with people like that. I mean he's tossing 323 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.799 out Tom Colbert and like, yes, names that are known, but you 324 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.039 kind of have to know these are Arizona people. So from day one you 325 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.519 could tell he was very interested in this. And I don't mean this as 326 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.480 a criticism of him, but to travel as much as he does and to 327 00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:02.039 be at as many sporting of that he's in, there's really got to be 328 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.640 three of him. Like he's cloned himself twice, is what I've realized, 329 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:07.559 because I, you know, I get tired. You guys get you know, 330 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:11.559 it's like eight o'clock at night for a basketball game after a long day 331 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.039 on a Thursday of a long week, and yet he's still sitting their courtside 332 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.519 and he's doing his hard job the next day. So so it's it's a 333 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.960 very unique, I think personality to be in a job like that and still 334 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:27.920 be as directly connected to the sports scene as he's been. And I think 335 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:33.960 to find a replacement that's as connected will be will be very difficult. But 336 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.440 maybe that's part and parcel with him setting it up the way he has, 337 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.720 with with getting the hires in the way he wants. Getting things financially obviously 338 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.119 is a whole nother ball of wax, but getting the stability of how he 339 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.319 wants the coaching situation set up and and and then hand it off to the 340 00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.839 next person. But I would be hard pressed to see if we could, 341 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.920 we will see someone with as much interest in sports as he's had. So 342 00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.359 let me ask both of you, what do you think his legacy will be 343 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:08.319 from an athletics standpoint? And I think it's going to beation. You know, 344 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.240 I think if you look, if you look back prior to Anne Weaver, 345 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:18.160 Hardin's predecessor, her legacy was sort of that that issue with her being 346 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.440 on the board of directors for I think Debri and simultaneously working here and things 347 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.799 like that, and I think everyone kind of their worst war kind of follows 348 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:29.759 them around. But in terms of athletics, I think, you know, 349 00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:36.160 this is thrown around a lot, at least not necessarily in formality, but 350 00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:40.640 he's got a very Jerry Jones like personality and not in a difficult way and 351 00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.880 not in the way that gets criticized. But you know, he has athletic 352 00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:47.200 directors, there are coaches, but yet he still has his handprint on stuff. 353 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.119 So I think athletically that legacy will definitely be there. I mean, 354 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.480 if football stays competitive for the next decade, that's on him. I mean 355 00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.680 he's the one who pushed for a jag Fish higher, so so I mean 356 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.640 he definitely will will maybe you have to see that in the next five to 357 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:04.279 ten years, but but that's definitely a tie to his tenure. Yeah, 358 00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.440 but he's also got a lot of ground to make up over the Kevin Sumlin 359 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.519 higher because that was that was him too, So you know, he dug 360 00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.200 the hole, but he's also helped them dig out of it out of it 361 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:23.119 with that, I think ultimately for just general people, uh you know, 362 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.759 who follow and are interested in you, it'll be the financial situation. I 363 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.839 think the business community will be it'll be a very good legacy because he's done 364 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.680 a lot of stuff business wise, athletics wise, some of both. Right, 365 00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:40.160 you know. The you know, the financial situation in athletics, you 366 00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:44.440 know is on his watch. But yet they did a lot of things. 367 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.920 Yeah, you know. And let me ask you another quick question to both 368 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.119 of you. So you talked about him being everywhere and we saw him everywhere. 369 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.319 Was that a good thing or not? Maybe over the top ish, 370 00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.720 I think you're Jerry Jones' analogies is a very good one, and not in 371 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.319 a bout way. But he's around and and if you're the ad or you're 372 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:06.640 whatever, you're kind of are you looking over your shoulder? Maybe Dave did, 373 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:07.880 Maybe he didn't know. He wrote that story. I wrote that story 374 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.759 on Ikey, and it was they all played well, they all played good 375 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:18.519 together. Right, But but yeah, you know, I think I think 376 00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.599 it's good and bad. I mean, I think it's good in the sense 377 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:23.799 that obviously he cares. I think the bad part is is it creates a 378 00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.880 perception that he cares about that more than other things, which I don't believe 379 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:32.279 is true. But if you're front facing all the time, sitting courtside at 380 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.319 you know, at McHale and and or in the or you know, in 381 00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:40.400 the press box at the stadium, and it's that's what That's what everyone athletics 382 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:44.599 supporters and the rest of the community are going to focus on, and that's 383 00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.640 what they're going to see. And so it's it's one of those things that's 384 00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.759 always going to happen in the college athletics team or college university of this stature. 385 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:53.640 It's going to happen in that game, which is you're going to have 386 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:57.319 the people that think it's great and the people that think it's absolutely terrible. 387 00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:00.400 There's very few in between. Right, There's a lot of the people that 388 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.319 want that kind of attention paid to it, and there's a decent, if 389 00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:08.319 not vocal minority, a decent number of people that are vocal that think that 390 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:14.359 too much attention is paid to sports and athletics. So I think it's hard 391 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:15.960 for me to assess that there was good or bad, But I don't think 392 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.079 we could say he didn't care about the success. And it's the same thing 393 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:23.240 goes for the people that believe that athletics and these are words from Viky and 394 00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:26.759 him that athletics are the sort of front door of the university. If you 395 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.640 believe that, you loved what Robert Robins did. If you don't believe that, 396 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.599 and you believe it's tied to the research grants and the science discoveries and 397 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.119 things like that, that those are really what's bringing in more applicants and a 398 00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:42.599 better quality of students applying for day to day admission, not athletic admission. 399 00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:45.880 Then you wouldn't like that. And so I think it's all what side of 400 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.720 the bed someone wakes up on. But the reality is, anybody connected to 401 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.839 athletics, I don't know if I've heard anybody who hasn't been in terms of 402 00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:57.160 inside McHale, you know, inside the mkale machine, who hasn't seen and 403 00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.720 thought that he was a good press and supportive of what they were doing. 404 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.640 Well yeah, well, well, I mean part of what his legacy with 405 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:08.880 the faculty is exactly that Brett, that he did pay too much attention to 406 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.440 athletics as far as they were concerned, and they didn't. They don't like 407 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.680 that. But that's any any college campus is like that. You know, 408 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:19.440 the faculty, you're out there doing the teaching and the research and the fundraising 409 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.839 and stuff like that. They get pissed when people pay so much, you 410 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:26.440 know, when when the school gets identified by its athletics, they go, 411 00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.279 what the hell am I doing here? And there's a lot of that, 412 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.720 and he'll walk away with a lot of that. I mean, the faculty 413 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.240 group, you know, came out a couple of weeks ago and said that 414 00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.200 they should just flat out layoff twenty percent of the athletic department without any kind 415 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:47.160 of reasoning behind that number, because that's what you run up against. And 416 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:51.400 that's going to be his legacy with the faculty that as you said, he 417 00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:55.799 was front and center so often, you know, at athletic events, which 418 00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:57.359 I mean if I had those seats, I'd be there every game too, 419 00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:03.480 But you know that that's what that's how it'll it'll be. You wonder, 420 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.920 though, then, is the board of regents gonna go for somebody just a 421 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:18.359 little less focused on on athletics. What's the next president? I wonder too, 422 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.200 And I wonder if they, you know, if he's created a scenario 423 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:23.240 behind the scenes some of its public, but behind the scenes too, where 424 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:27.519 they can do that and they know it's not going to necessarily die off the 425 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.279 one thing I you know, I think we all remember about people in this 426 00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.640 position is, and he has said this, He said almost these exact words, 427 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.039 his job number one is to be cheerleader number one for everything of the 428 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:42.079 university and the Block A and the you know, Cardinal and Navy and everything 429 00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:47.599 tied to the university and its brand and its mission and athletics being connected with 430 00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:49.559 that. I would be I would be shocked if they bring in someone who 431 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:55.599 didn't at least support the endeavors of athletics in the in the grandest scheme. 432 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:57.000 You know, it doesn't have to be to the minutia that he did, 433 00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:00.440 but I would be really surprised if it was somebody who wouldn't at least see 434 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:06.319 it for the value it brought in terms of camaraderie and social conversation and stuff 435 00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:07.759 like that. But to have someone, you know, the last thing I 436 00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.720 want to do on your Guys show is make a joke about sports talk radio. 437 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.000 But like the number of times I've heard him talk about, you know, 438 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.680 how much he listens to sports radio, Like it's it's kind of kind 439 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.559 of cool in some respects, but it's also like wow, like that's that's 440 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:25.119 a lot. Like I remember remember when he called into Jim Rome and was 441 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:26.720 trying to convince Jim Rome to send his kid to u of A. You 442 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.920 know what I mean, It's like he is. He is so finger on 443 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.039 the pulse with sports that I think whoever comes in to replace him will will 444 00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:37.839 care about it and we'll have enough people around them to understand the nuances of 445 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.599 it. But probably w won't see anyone in the next two or three ten 446 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.519 years of presidents that had the attention level he did to what was going on 447 00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:48.559 in the kale and at the stadium. Well, you talk about that. 448 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.480 I opened the show today with a question to Jay. So now you have 449 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.799 are you're going to have a new president. You have a new football coach, 450 00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.559 you have a new ad, you have some coaches that are just three 451 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.400 years in to their tenure. You know, what's that dynamic going to be 452 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.920 for the new president? I think I hope the interesting dynamic is going to 453 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.400 be for the coaches, meaning that you know, and this I'm not trying 454 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.799 to throw anything against the wall or anything like that, but but if you 455 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.519 see coaches who are have legacies here, so you to look at like baseball 456 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.039 and softball, for example, with Chip Hale and Caitlyn Low like they deserve 457 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.839 time to figure out their programs and get them going in certain directions. But 458 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:30.000 who knows what a new president is going to look at or what there's very 459 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.400 Riefrancois was going to look at without a past history with them, So it 460 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.279 just it could get interesting, That's all is. We don't know, And 461 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.119 I'm not trying to trying to, you know, be gossipy. I'm just 462 00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.480 saying, like where where in the past I would have thought there's a lot 463 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:47.599 more rope to figure things out. New people coming in expect change, and 464 00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:52.039 they expect you know, answers, and they expect movement, and who knows 465 00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.559 how that's going to end up implicating or affecting what goes on in McHale and 466 00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.200 and with the different programs in that way. To the point to the of 467 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.039 what you said, Steve, I I think it'll be an interering dynamic on 468 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:05.599 that front because the history is not there. They're coming in brand new. 469 00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:08.480 More than likely, I don't see there being a real internal candidate, especially 470 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:13.359 without a current provost and things like that in place, So so it's more 471 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:15.079 than likely going to be someone from outside. I'd be shocked if it isn't. 472 00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.640 And well you talk about and then the ad of course you mentioned does 473 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.279 right, Well, you wonder you wondered did they have this conversation when he 474 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.960 hired her? Did she ask them how long are going to be around? 475 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:28.359 You know she did? You know she would have to have asked that, 476 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.680 right, So, and you wonder what his answer was. Yeah, I 477 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:36.039 would be shocked, knowing what we little we know about her so far and 478 00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.359 kind of her her go get him mentality on stuff. I'd be surprised if 479 00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:43.000 she did. And as that question in the process, I mean don't know 480 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:45.000 was a quick turnaround for her to get hired and everything, but I would 481 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:50.200 be surprised too. Yeah, Well, it's gonna be gonna be interesting times. 482 00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:52.839 I'm like, I'm thinking like you though, Brett, I think he'll 483 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:58.000 they'll start looking for his replacement, Like right now, I think you know, 484 00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.319 Katie Hobbs has made it clear that she's not happy with with with you 485 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:05.799 know, how things went with with this financial situation. Part of it depends 486 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.839 on what the Border Regions thinks. But you know, if the governor has 487 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:12.480 any saying, and I would imagine that they're going to start a search relatively 488 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.200 soon, And you're right, it takes six months or whatever you know, 489 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.559 to get to get somebody. So be interesting to see how long that takes. 490 00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:22.640 Well, it's going to be very interesting. I remember last time when 491 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:28.359 he was found. You know, the two finalists we were him and we're 492 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:31.440 a guy he goes by the nickname of Punch because he's got a name that's 493 00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.960 difficult to pronounce. And I'm not gonna lie in that he was from a 494 00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:37.359 su and the two of them couldn't have been more different, you know, 495 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.160 he was he was a deputy to Michael Crowe and had a very hefty scientific 496 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.279 background, whichppens he Robin sayes we forget sometimes that he's a heart surgeon. 497 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.160 That sometimes we don't because we're told a lot, but but to kind of 498 00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.680 different personalities going through that process. So it's gonna be interesting to see what 499 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:55.000 they focus on, you know, if they want someone to align with the 500 00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:59.480 state elements of how a FU and NAU are built, or if they want 501 00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:04.480 a unique voice down here like they did with Robbins, to have this sort 502 00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:08.360 of flagship Land Grant University have its own personality with it. With a state 503 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:12.639 like this, it's still very strange to only have three public university, not 504 00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.559 the norm across the country. Yeah, well, Brett, I'll assuming maybe 505 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:22.000 can you preview tomorrow's or today's story you're gonna have anything sports related. I'm 506 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.920 sure the news side is already working on theirs, not yet on Robbin's. 507 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:30.840 We're working on that in terms of both Michael lev and Greg Hanson are likely 508 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.639 going to be opining on that a little bit in the coming days, but 509 00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:38.239 news is kind of who's handling it right now. But it is an ongoing 510 00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:43.360 thing because he has had his fingers so much on the pulse of everything happening 511 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:46.440 in that athletic department. It's successes too, I mean the growth, the 512 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:53.159 getting Tommy Lloyd and getting his extension in place, and simultaneously what we said 513 00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:57.760 about about fish and now what they're trying to build with Brennan I think, 514 00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:00.719 and every sport, but really those two obviously being financially so important to the 515 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:05.119 athletic department, it's definitely going to be something that there's a lot to talk 516 00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:09.079 about with it. Thank you, Brett. We appreciate your time. Thank 517 00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:14.079 you guys, appreciate you man than you got good stuff, good stuff. 518 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.800 A lot of very smart analysis. I mean in the also, you know, 519 00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:22.719 athletics aside. This is a huge job for the community, without question, 520 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:24.960 without question. You know that the university sets the tone for a lot 521 00:35:25.000 --> 00:35:28.280 of things. And look at the tone where it's at now. Yeah, 522 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:30.840 and it's yeah, well, and it was going well and then it crapped, 523 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:35.000 you know about the last eighteen months. You know, he said that 524 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.920 in his think the last eighteen months has been difficult. Yes, they have, 525 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.199 and it's affected everybody, and everybody says it to the point that the 526 00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:45.320 governor said, you're doing it well again, not a shock to us, 527 00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:50.239 right. In fact, we thought it might have come earlier, given the 528 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.639 hikey and the other. The ball, the snowball has been coming down for 529 00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:58.119 a while, and then we'll see what it stops. All right, let's 530 00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.320 take our last break.

Beat me to the punch, Rick, I know, I 610 00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.440 know, but you know I did. I do have to say I missed 611 00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:45.719 your money last you sure. I'm sure you did. So what's up, 612 00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:51.000 Rick, Well, just real quick. Uh, by the way, Jay, 613 00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:53.519 you had some great guests on last week. Thank you, thank you, 614 00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:58.960 good job. Uh. First of all, people forget when you go 615 00:41:59.000 --> 00:42:04.079 all the way back to Dempsey, he had his fingers in Arizona athletics. 616 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:10.440 J did not to the degree that said Dempsey did. And then you had 617 00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:17.639 burn Burns, Greg Burns. He was very much had his bringers involved in 618 00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:21.480 what's going on in Arizona athletics? Wait wait, wait, Rick, Rick, 619 00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:27.159 Rick, Rick, they're the ads. There's well not I'm sorry, 620 00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:30.599 I met the president. The president during that time, John Schaeffer did obviously 621 00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:37.599 because he drove He drove Arizona into the twelve. Forgive me. But my 622 00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:44.559 point is this, athletics in any school is also a big lost leader. 623 00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:50.000 To a certain degree for academics. It's used as a marketing tool to bring 624 00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.880 other people to the area. And uh, people lose sight of that. 625 00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:01.639 The fact that the man got himself in such a budget disaster. That was 626 00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:07.480 his downfall. It wasn't his in into athletics and anything else. And I 627 00:43:07.519 --> 00:43:12.440 think your next person, whoever comes in as president. First of all, 628 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:17.039 he's not gone till twenty six unless they really do find somebody. Number one. 629 00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:22.360 Number two is whoever comes in has to be very delicate with what's going 630 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:27.480 on in the athletic department because they're moving into the Big twelve and it's a 631 00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:31.320 totally different dynamic. So it's a big learning curve and having our new ad 632 00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:37.679 understand the Big twelve the way she does is a big advantage. And if 633 00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:39.880 I'm the president coming in, I don't want to get my fingers in that 634 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:45.679 too much too early, because I could really mess up to buy and really 635 00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:51.199 make it uncomfortable for everybody. So with that, gentlemen, you have a 636 00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:52.920 good day, have fun tonight. Steve. All right, thank you, 637 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:55.840 Rick, I'll miss you. I'll miss you. I know you will. 638 00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.880 I know you. I know you love getting me your money is Sue. 639 00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:05.920 Thanks for talking. You said that's so rare. Well, I think he 640 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:07.480 makes a point. And would you agree with him in the terms of lost 641 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:14.880 leader? Uh, yeah, I guess you know, I mean, yeah, 642 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:22.559 yeah, again, what's the school. It's thirty thousand underground. That's 643 00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:27.840 it's like forty thousand total, right, thirty thousand underground and then yeah total, 644 00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:31.320 yeah, because a issues got like seventy five years. It's massive, 645 00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:36.679 much of it, so much more of it is onlineline right right? Is 646 00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.719 it more the merrier because you get more money coming in? Or what? 647 00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:43.239 What is it? Because I don't know. Some people see it one way 648 00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.880 and some people say, like athletics, what brings people to a school like 649 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:52.920 this? Got another calling him, Hi, you're on the air and on 650 00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:58.079 the ball. Hey Jay, Hey, Steve Hian Elise, this is done. 651 00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:04.880 Done man. Why don't you guys just take this whole president thing the 652 00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:10.599 way you've been telling us to take the basketball season? Well, no, 653 00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:22.360 no, no, hey, whatever happens, it'll be fine, you know. 654 00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:30.000 And you know that's ever ever since the Sweet sixteen Laws. That's all 655 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:36.719 I've been reading on Twitter. Hey be happy we got Tommy Lloyd. Oh 656 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:40.400 great, you know this is great. He doesn't lose to in a row. 657 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.440 The problem. The problem is is he loses too many one in a 658 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:50.039 row that he shouldn't be losing. Wow, did you what you eat for 659 00:45:50.119 --> 00:46:02.559 lunch? I've been stewing, Steve very You've been ready for something. These 660 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:07.920 things happened. I mean that's what we got to look at. Yeah, 661 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:13.679 but I think It's an important position, though not just for athletics. This 662 00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.239 is an important vision for this this whole community. Yeah, it'll be fine. 663 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:20.920 Worried about what I am worried about it. At the end of the 664 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:24.320 day, Doun's right, because you're going to find somebody very capable. We're 665 00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:28.440 talking about that, we're talking about university. It had and Weaver Heart as 666 00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:31.159 a president. And she's nothing one to put him in the ditch, I 667 00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:35.280 know, but she she did a lot of other things that had to be 668 00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:39.400 fixed. Sure, of course, so so and I like Bobby so no. 669 00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:45.840 I liked Bobby's presidence. It sure seemed like he really cared about Arizona 670 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:50.880 putting on a good face athletically, and I think he knew the importance of 671 00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:58.719 it. So I'm sad to see that lose. One point I wanted to 672 00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:05.840 make about IOWA on LSU that you guys didn't really touch on is that both 673 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:12.559 of those teams developed from last year to this year and you knew them. 674 00:47:14.079 --> 00:47:17.039 Like the men's game. The men's game, who's the top five guys except 675 00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:22.360 for the list that you read earlier, I have no idea who any of 676 00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:24.679 those guys except for Edie is right, No, I hear you, I 677 00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.800 hear you. And then the women's side, you know who they are, 678 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.599 right, you know who they are. I mean, if you pay attention, 679 00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:36.320 you'll know that the guard for LSU, the blonde girl she was in 680 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:40.199 a little tip for tap with against LSU a year ago because she was with 681 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:46.360 Louisville. That's right, Hayley van Liz and she was good. She's good. 682 00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:52.719 And then at LSU though she's like she's like just another player. It's 683 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:57.719 it's kind of weird thing that they kind of misused her. But I think 684 00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:02.159 that's the difference now with the women's game is you get to you get to 685 00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:06.000 know the players, and you get to know the team, which way, 686 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:12.239 which way, which way is better, which way is better. I like 687 00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:15.679 the way the women's game is going right now because it reminds me of how 688 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:22.920 when like nowadays, there will never ever be another set of gumbies. And 689 00:48:22.079 --> 00:48:27.079 you know who I'm talking about right use those are the guys, the guys 690 00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:30.599 that are going to start next year or the year after that, because they're 691 00:48:30.639 --> 00:48:36.320 playing behind these guys. And nowadays we have no idea who the eight ninth 692 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:37.960 and tenth to the I don't even know how many guys are on the roster 693 00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:43.159 at Arizona. I have no idea because they don't get they don't get to 694 00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:46.760 play, and we don't write about it, and we don't write about them. 695 00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.239 Well you don't write about them, but they don't get to play because 696 00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:54.679 this team and and the and the regime before, they don't win games by 697 00:48:54.679 --> 00:49:01.239 more than twelve points, whereas back in back in Lootsay they were they get 698 00:49:01.320 --> 00:49:06.679 up by twenty five, put in the gumbies and win by thirty five because 699 00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:09.199 those guys are doing the same thing that the starters are doing, and they're 700 00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:15.480 the ones pushing the starters. And nowadays that's what happens in on the women's 701 00:49:15.519 --> 00:49:21.360 game. Yeah, I hear you. Well, you look at you look 702 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.760 at the Arizona women's They won one game and they lost one game in the 703 00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:30.519 tournament, and their their tournament was way more successful than the men's because of 704 00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.079 all the things that they've gone through. And they never took a possession off 705 00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:38.960 as a team, offensively or defensively. They never took any possessions off. 706 00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:45.360 They couldn't afford to, No, they couldn't. Well, thanks for stewing 707 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.199 done, Thanks for calling Hey, don't worry about it. It'll be fine. 708 00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:53.760 You know, it'll be fine. You know, it's okay. I 709 00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:58.760 mean, only loses Tommy never loses to in a row. So expect the 710 00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:06.840 next game to be a win. Thanks be pre season, all right, 711 00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:08.840 thank you, all right, thanks. I think he was trying to I 712 00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:15.000 think he was trying to be sarcast just a little bit. He makes up 713 00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:16.159 a good points, so he does make some good point. Okay. I 714 00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:19.320 just saw this, and I wish i'd seen it early because we could have 715 00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.800 talked about it more. About three minutes left, John Wilner put out a 716 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:30.760 ranking of the top the best Pack twelve teams since Arizona and Acey joined the 717 00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:36.159 league in twenty in to make it the Pack ten teams we want to be, 718 00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.599 so say it again, Top twenty teen, top the top the top 719 00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:44.519 teams of the of the Pack twelve basketball era. So going back to going 720 00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:46.599 back to when Arizona and Ace you joined, Okay, seven G seventy nineteen, 721 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:51.440 this is the top team. Everybody, everybody, top the top teams 722 00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.599 of the Pack, Okay, Pack ten slash packed. Who do you think 723 00:50:54.599 --> 00:51:00.960 he was put number one? Now back to anybody would the title MONTORYA. 724 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:04.840 I don't think so there was one, say the eight team in the top 725 00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:08.800 five. Maybe, I don't know. You see his ninety five team thirty 726 00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:14.320 one and two won a national championship. Edo band and Ty said, those 727 00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:21.679 guys top team, okay, all right, second team seven Arizona eighty eight. 728 00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:24.079 Yeah, so he can the same best teams. You see, he 729 00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:27.840 thinks the eighty eight is better and I don't agree with him. That is 730 00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.880 better than two thousand and one. After that, he's got Arizona ninety eight 731 00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.159 as the third best team. Two thousand and one is better than both of 732 00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:36.880 them. Yeah, U c l A two thousand and eight. That was 733 00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.639 one of those Kevin Love, Darren Collison, Russell Westbrook teams. They went 734 00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:43.280 to the final back back to back to back to back final four. The 735 00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:46.119 third team then number five is Arizona ninety seven. You got to put him 736 00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:50.280 up there because they want to sure right, greatest run in two thousand and 737 00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:53.119 one nowhere it's coming. So the top five is all UCL and Arizona, 738 00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:59.840 right right. Then you get to Oregon State of eighty two. That was 739 00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:02.159 a great team, but then they blew it in the in the tournament, 740 00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:08.000 in the tournament. Oregon of twenty seventeen got to a final four is number 741 00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:12.280 seven. Oh they were not very good. Yeah, but it was thirty 742 00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:16.880 three and six until the organ which was the Oregon thirty three and six A 743 00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:22.199 SU of eighty one Byron Scott fat lever Elton Lister. Another team that blew 744 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:27.519 it in the in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. Nine is eighty 745 00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:31.559 eight Arizona of nineteen eighty nine. Then you go Stanford ninety eight, and 746 00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:37.000 then your team Arizona of two thousand and one is the number eleven. No 747 00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:38.239 to me, to me, and I think a lot of people agree with 748 00:52:38.239 --> 00:52:42.119 me. That's two thousand and one. Arizona in the top ten has most 749 00:52:42.159 --> 00:52:45.880 of them. Yeah, they have a whole bunch one, two, five, 750 00:52:46.239 --> 00:52:51.360 fiveteen, four teams in the ninety five eight team wow. Yeah, 751 00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:52.920 and you know what you have to agree with that thirty one and two they 752 00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:57.960 lost two conference games. You know, beat beat Arkansas, who was the 753 00:52:57.960 --> 00:53:00.199 defending nations. What about Stanford? We have a Stanford team. He's got 754 00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:07.159 Stanford, uh, Stanford of four Josh Childress, Justin Davis, Chris Hernandez 755 00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:12.440 for thirteen team Stanford ninety eight. Yes, number ten. Yeah, because 756 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:16.039 Mark mad Mark Mark Madison team. So there you go.
