crevous, crevious, all the all those

13
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.520

14
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.760
of course you have you have the
haters out there right. Well, now

15
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.760
he's got four tall guys. He
needs some twos and some threes, or

16
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.480
he needs some he needs some you
know, other guys. He's gotten now

17
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.159
three seven footers and Umar Balow so, um, you know, how is

18
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:19.719
he gonna Why did he have so
many big guys? No? One never

19
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.840
was happy. They got pretty good
guards. Yeah, and you know what,

20
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.200
you can't teach how right right?
And if they don't all play,

21
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.439
guess what they'll red shirt right,
they'll or you know, they'll fit in

22
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:37.159
right. Man. People complain just
to complain. But I was watching something

23
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.599
on Facebook because I do for philosophy
reasons. Uh, it's easy to complain,

24
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.599
right, very hard to praise.
And that's what they do. Good,

25
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.959
that's what they do, that's what
they do. So um, but

26
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.920
he's uh, you know he's coming
in. I think he's for this year,

27
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:57.000
so he'll be here in the fall. Ye um uh so you know,

28
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.599
go ahead and go ahead and okay, so that's the news. That's

29
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.959
great news. And he looks like
I've seen some clips that he can play.

30
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.400
I think VSA is gonna be much
better. And I think I've told

31
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:13.759
you that Philippe, it's gonna be
fantastic. Yeah, Pillip Burrow you yeah,

32
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.159
yeah, guy guy. I think
he's gonna be very percentile. And

33
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.800
then Pella Larson announced He's coming back, which I think we all knew he

34
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.639
was going to. But he's done
dabbling with the A with the NBA.

35
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.479
Found out barent find out what he
wanted to find out, right, And

36
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.159
I'm you know, we said all
along, not that we know Pella or

37
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.280
have any inside knowledge, but it
was kind of like, go find out

38
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.719
the process. But now he knows
the process, he knows what he needs

39
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.400
to do. It's probably been told
some things that he's got to work on.

40
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.199
Sure, look baskets, Yeah,
like make some baskets and and uh

41
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.840
and uh that kind of stuff.
Don't be missing key for he throws it

42
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.240
key times when you're when you're like
a ninety percent shooter. That episode.

43
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.240
So Pelle Larson is coming back.
Um, the San Diego State transfer Keyshaw

44
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.759
Johnson is supposed to announce his decision
on Saturday. Um, he's the guy

45
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:05.080
who was key to San Diego State's
run to the championship game. He's got

46
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.919
Kentucky, Arizona, Texas, Tech, USC and Oklahoma as his as his

47
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.080
five choices. He was he was, you know, very complimentary of Kentucky,

48
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.000
which is his most recent visit.
And I don't know a lot of

49
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.479
times the last visit is the one
that gets you. But you never know.

50
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.919
He's um, but he is,
UH gonna supposedly decide this weekend if

51
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.800
he's coming to Arizona. So we'll
see if he decides to stay, you

52
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.879
know, stay close to home.
Um. There's some things going on at

53
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.360
USC with Bronnie James and now UH
Rodman's kid. You know, they got

54
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.120
they got one of the top recruits
in the country coming in there, and

55
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.400
he goes to USC, USC might
become a problem for for all the Pac

56
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.120
twelve, not just Arizona. So
anyways, UM. On the other side

57
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.319
of that, Uh, Sam Thomas
has been cut from the Phoenix rectord Um.

58
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:57.879
She was not on the on the
roster UH as of today. Uh,

59
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.800
they're down. They got to get
down to the twelve player by Friday,

60
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.159
where the season starts on Friday,
and she apparently has been uh has

61
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.680
been off. It was a long
shot to make she did last year,

62
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:12.319
but she was also you know,
on the All Rookie team. That plus

63
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.960
you know, I can't I don't
we've had her on the show. What

64
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.000
a delightful woman. I don't feel
sorry for her. You know why.

65
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:21.519
She's very good at what she does. She's a people person. People love

66
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:26.680
her. She was all low in
her communications or whatever she did two years

67
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.800
ago. So I think she's gonna
be fine. It's gonna be a success

68
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.000
the rest, after life stuff,
after basketball stuff, she'll be fine.

69
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.279
Good for a she got you know, if you got a cup of coffee

70
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.720
in there. Yeah, w NBA
good? Yeah, you know, I

71
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.120
mean you can't, you can't,
you can't knock that. I mean good,

72
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.600
you know, good on her.
Um, Okay, let's see where

73
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:49.000
do I want to go next.
Um, we're trying to get um John

74
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.560
Wilmer on the show in the next
couple of days. She's kind of give

75
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.199
us an update of all the expansion
stuff, TV deals and stuff like that.

76
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.879
But there was a big meeting of
the ACCU the powers. Yeah,

77
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.720
the a SEC held a meeting.
A couple of things that come out of

78
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:09.000
that because there was a lot of
discussion over the last few days that there

79
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.279
were seven schools in the a SEC
who said, we got to fix the

80
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.199
revenue sharing thing. We need more
money or we're gonna lead, and you

81
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.480
got people denying that they were going
to lead, YadA, YadA, YadA.

82
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:27.199
But in the end they come out
of these meetings and the Florida State.

83
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:30.000
Uh, I don't know if he's
a d or The president said he's

84
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.519
confident the ACC is going to go
to a revenue model that they're going to

85
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.600
be happy with. Um, he
said, we're thrilled to be in this

86
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.199
league and we want to stay here. There's a lot of people saying you're

87
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.439
a big fat liar, but um, you know that they still might want

88
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.360
to stay, but it looks like
there's gonna they're they're altering the revenue playing

89
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:51.279
because you know, Clemson and Florida
State and Miami think they should be getting

90
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.639
more money than you know, uh, you know some of the bottom feeders

91
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.079
in the league because they're the ones
bringing in all the money. So and

92
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.560
then what's good with that lose those
bottom feeders will stay bottom feeders. And

93
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.120
these guys, but what they're trying
to do is they're in this horrible TV

94
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:10.240
deal that's got another like twelve years
to go and they're falling behind. There's

95
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:15.279
nothing they can do about it because
of the contract they signed. So interesting

96
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.480
stuff going on over in the ACC. There was also a Pack twelve meeting

97
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.879
today in Seattle. I haven't heard
anything coming out of that, John Kenzown,

98
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.560
I'll put a road a column behind
his paywall that I haven't been able

99
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.879
to get in there and look at. But interesting to see what's you know,

100
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.000
what's come out of that. We're
gonna have Dave Hickey on on Thursday

101
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.199
to talk about his father to the
award, but we're also gonna a pepper

102
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.800
him with a few things to see
what he can tell us about what's going

103
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.519
on and all that. And it's
mentioned we're trying to get John Wilner in

104
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.680
here. He's a busy guy trying
to stay on top of all of this,

105
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.319
and we're just trying to suck that
information out of him as fast as

106
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:55.439
we can. Um okay, Arizona
has won the Territorial Cup for the fourth

107
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.360
time in the last six years.
I want to ask the key about that

108
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.519
because it's bits. It's a big
deal to fans. I guess is it

109
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.040
a big deal? I think it's
a big deal to the athlete. I

110
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:10.120
mean there's a big deal to me. Nice. Nice. It was like,

111
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.240
you know, way back when Arizona
was in the you know gate in

112
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.319
the Director's Cup to the Series Cup
and all that stuff, you know,

113
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.399
and that was a big deal.
And people say, well, we're doing

114
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.000
good in the Serius Cup, and
I said, but we haven't been to

115
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.199
a damn Rose Bowl. All right, come on, I'll give up.

116
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:29.879
I'll give up all the series Cups
for damn Rose Bowl. I don't care

117
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.120
for good in in you know,
in all the sports until we get to

118
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.160
the damn Rose Bowl. Hey,
eighty four years, you know, step,

119
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.040
we're never going to get to one. You know how things have to

120
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.839
line up, not because the rose
Ball is going to be a quarterfinal,

121
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.600
uh ter final playoff game at worst
every year. Can you open the door

122
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.800
for me. I'm really upset by
this now. Not only did they have

123
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.639
to get into the playoff, they've
got to get to the quarterfinals, and

124
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.920
they got to line up to be
able to play that. Were just depressing

125
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.959
yourself by talking, You're just depressing
yourself. Anyways. It was kind of

126
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:09.319
funny though, the graphic, um, the graphic that they put that you

127
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.000
have a put out about the Territorial
Cup, you know as Jay Leville who

128
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.360
play the ASU, instead of saying
Kate Reese who sort of was the face

129
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.399
of the team, right, or
even SHANEA. Pellington and of all the

130
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.279
people they put on they put on
Jay Leville, so they're kind of poke

131
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.800
them about helping him win the Territorial
Cup. I thought that's kind of funny.

132
00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:35.399
All right, Um, you b
your draft lotteries tonight. So everybody's

133
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:41.000
after this web Bon Yama kid.
You know, I don't see it.

134
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.639
Of course you don't because you didn't
see the other guy who got hurt.

135
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.360
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
The kid, you know, a kid

136
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.039
from Gonzaga. I mean the minute
the man he had to start playing hard,

137
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.080
his body blew up. And this
kid looks the same to me as

138
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.679
far as that. Whoa, this
is another one of those life and what

139
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.600
it was? It was you Rowski
or somebody's said that he could be the

140
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:09.440
best prospect for any sport ever.
Did he not have show? Hey?

141
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.600
Somebody said, uh, Lebron show
right, you know, but the best

142
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.559
prospect you know, coming out of
like high school or whatever, of any

143
00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.799
sport ever. And I'm like,
what do you think, NJ? Come

144
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:30.360
on? Yeah, you know,
and and and hung that thing on him,

145
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.279
and I'm like okay, but anyways, um, his body will have

146
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.480
to change obviously. Yeah. So
there's there's fourteen teams in the in the

147
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.639
lottery. Um, who is it
that has the best shot at Houston and

148
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:46.799
Detroit? I think, Uh,
Houston, I think fourteen percent chance.

149
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.399
Uh yeah, you try, No, you try the Rockets and the spur

150
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.799
Spurs are in there too. Okay, so so let's see who gets who

151
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.000
gets that guy? All right,
little controversy going on where they're in judge.

152
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.879
He was peeking into the he was
peeking to the side. Did they

153
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:07.960
hit this monster home? Did they
say? Because there's another theory. I

154
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.080
saw something in the he said.
He said he was looking into the dugout

155
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.200
because these guys were chirping, and
he was like, I wanted them to

156
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.200
shut the hell out. So that's
what he said. Okay, so what

157
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.279
do you think? What do you
think Batters don't generally take their eye off

158
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.759
the picture generally, no, right, But people are saying he was looking

159
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.519
at a coach who they think might
have been giving him a signal because the

160
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:37.039
coach was standing in a weird spot. But that's what coaches do, right.

161
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.679
Coaches try to steal signals just like
guys on base right. Sure,

162
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.559
and if they can, if they
can transmit that to there's nothing wrong.

163
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.240
That's part of the game. You
can't be hitting garbage cans. You can't

164
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:54.639
be having There was a there was
a junior. They got caught. They

165
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:00.320
had some sort of a speaker in
their helmets. You know that they're feeding

166
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.720
pitchers for these guys. If he's
looking at a coach who might have the

167
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.120
signal, then there's nothing wrong with
that. Yeah, and that's not cheating.

168
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.799
It would be cheating if there's somebody
in the dugout, you know,

169
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.039
like you said, you know,
tipping them off because they've got a camera,

170
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.000
then the outfitters, I'm like it. But if a coach can see

171
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.279
the catcher giving a signal, there's
nothing that's part of the game that means

172
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.600
they didn't hide. This the catcher's
fault, right, not hiding. We

173
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.000
could pick those off easy. When
we played Babe Ruth and it's a massive

174
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.200
home run, Sure, that's just
repetition. Yeah, I know I saw

175
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.440
that. It was kind of weird, but he still had to hit the

176
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.519
home run. Still, you know, still his ability sets to come through.

177
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.039
No, no, no, did
you also have the seventy six ers

178
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:46.919
stuff with? Oh that's right,
Doc Rivers fired. Now four coaches whose

179
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.039
team's got the Court of finals in
the playoffs. Success all been fired success

180
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.360
you know the Sons. No,
well the Bucks didn't get but the Bucks

181
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.919
were the number one seed, the
Suns, the Bucks, the the seventy

182
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:05.240
six and and and in Toronto.
They're all gonna find jobs. It's all

183
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.559
incest to us, you know that. Yeah, it's still gonna find you

184
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.200
know, Monty, you'll be a
coach of Milwaukee or whatever. And it's

185
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.200
all gonna be a Merritica around.
Yeah, because because they all spend the

186
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.840
same time doing something somewhere else,
they're just gonna move the pieces over you

187
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.159
know. You know ty lew As
somebody who's you know over at the Clippers

188
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.519
mentioned about coming there, coming to
the Suns. And he's over there,

189
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.000
he's got you know, he's got
a couple of good players over there.

190
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.840
Why why would he give that up? Plus he's you know, I don't

191
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.320
know. Again, it's weird.
It's it's, as you said, very

192
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.559
incestuous. These guys are just you
know, moving the pieces around all over

193
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.360
the place. Um uh, just
an interesting piece of transfer portal news.

194
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:52.240
Uh Nordre Dame running back logan digs. When the Jazz reportal was there was

195
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.799
Notre Dame's leading Russia hundred and sixty
five carries last year going to LSU.

196
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.919
It's like he was starting, he
was playing, he was getting the ball

197
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.000
at Notre Dame. Not good enough. I'm going. I believe even the

198
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.440
best go somewhere else. Yes,
it's just you know, I don't like

199
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.759
it, Steve No So Sean talked
about that on that Zoom call. He

200
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:18.240
was, he was, I don't
want to feel like a curmudgeon, but

201
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.720
I'm I am one and this is
horrible. There's no loyalty, like to

202
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.240
go to my point of being a
fan. Um, it's hard to like

203
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.399
somebody when I love you, I
love you. Oh well, I don't

204
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.240
love you anymore, but I only
love you until the paycheck got up to

205
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.000
here, right? Absolutely? So
all right man, you got the Nuggets,

the Lakers tonight, not touching the

points, touching money line one and
uh and Denver winning it at all,

208
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.200
winning this series and the next.
Don't touch it. So you go with

209
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.120
the points. I don't only care
about the points, but if I take

210
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.679
but what if I take them?
Oh I hate you then more? What

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:22.359
One shot? But at Nationals just
the once. But I just won my

265
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.400
fourth Pack twelve title this past weekend
of one, okay, and probably another

266
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.839
one. We've had you on the
show before, Pittsburgh kids, who's done

267
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.200
very well in the desert. What's
going on with you? Not much?

268
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.799
Just finished up my academic career out
here, just to have my last final

269
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:42.759
last weekend, so um, thankfully
just being able to work on my training

270
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.880
now to get through the rest of
the season. So so it's been a

271
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.559
long run here at Arizona. A
lot of a lot of championships, a

272
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.359
lot of titles, a lot of
great stuff, a lot of records.

273
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:57.119
Um, you know, Jordan,
when you when I see somebody like you,

274
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.599
I go like, what drive them? Right? At some point in

275
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:06.559
you're I don't know when, in
high school, before that, at very

276
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:11.000
or whatever, something has been driving
you to do what you're doing. And

277
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.759
for doing this for so long,
is there any way to pinpoint what that

278
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:21.680
has been or what that is for
you? I mean, it just kind

279
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.880
of started off just trying to throw
it as far as I could, and

280
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:29.160
then eventually you learn about national championships, then the goals to try to win

281
00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:33.240
those. Then you learn about USA
teams and you're trying to make those.

282
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.200
Now at college, I finally won
my first national championships. Now there's professional

283
00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:41.880
level USA teams to try to make, so that's the next goal, and

284
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:45.359
then Olympics after that, and everything
just kind of piles on and it's always

285
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.319
there's always something to be motivated about
this sport. So you must love to

286
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:56.680
compete, just compete and not lose
exactly. Yeah, That's that's another good

287
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.799
thing about track and field is everything
that you put into it, you're going

288
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.880
to get back out of it.
So the harder you work on the front

289
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.279
end, the more results are you
to get on the back end. Why

290
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.160
track, Why you're thinking back to
because you're obviously a great athlete. How

291
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:15.039
did track become the thing for you? I mean I played football up until

292
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.000
my sophomore year high school. I
was a pretty good linebacker, got recruited

293
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.599
by a couple of U D one
school says the sophomore in high school,

294
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.559
but ultimately I just didn't love it
anymore. Track and fields kind of the

295
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:30.079
sport that I was more drawn to, and I was getting a little bit

296
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.680
better at it a little bit faster. So I ended up quitting football after

297
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:40.799
my sophomore year and haven't looked back
since. Did you get better through technique

298
00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.599
or strength or both? I mean, as of recent it's definitely been more

299
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.920
technical. I've always been a pretty
strong kid ever since high school, so

300
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.400
the strength levels have kind of always
been there, So technique over the past

301
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:59.279
the year or two have definitely been
the next steps and will continue to be

302
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.680
the next steps for me. Moving
forward? How has that evolved? When

303
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.759
you talk about technique, it is
what you do now, excuse me,

304
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.039
what you do now and the way
you throw a lot different from when you

305
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:17.000
started. You know, if people
athletes learned how to do things a different

306
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.799
way, okay, guess a better
way, how has that evolved over time

307
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:25.200
for you? I mean, so
there's a couple of different techniques that you're

308
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:26.559
able to do. So the one
I do now is called the spin.

309
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.880
I've been doing that since eighth grade, and I've just been kind of building

310
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:36.960
on a solid foundation since then to
where I'm at now. So someone if

311
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.599
you just pulled them off the street
and showed them a video of me now

312
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.920
compared to five years ago, they
probably wouldn't notice a lot of the differences.

313
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:47.400
But someone who kind of has the
eye for it notices the changes that

314
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.279
we've made over the past few years. So, when you're talking about getting

315
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.319
to the level that you're at,
I mean little, I mean tiny adjustments

316
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.519
have to make a difference, right, because all you're you're really just trying

317
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.519
to get you know, inches or
centimeters or whatever you know, to add

318
00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.119
to to how you throw it.
So are there a little baby adjustments that

319
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.440
you make to get you things like
that. I'm just talking. I'm talking

320
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.599
from somebody who has no knowledge of
what it takes to be a good shot

321
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.839
putterer or a hammer thrower or whatever. Yeah, exactly. I mean every

322
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:25.680
sport you hear about that one percent. And that can come from any variety

323
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.200
of things. That could come from
nutrition, that could come from sleep,

324
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.200
that can come from lifting, that
could come from technique. Any little thing

325
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:38.079
on any given day could mean the
difference between throwing just below what the Olympic

326
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.400
standard is or making that Olympic team
any given day. So I guess,

327
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:48.200
as this eight year old or a
young kid that you're talking about Olympic hopeful,

328
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.960
were you always thinking about that at
some point or not even not even

329
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.119
your mind. I mean, it
was just kind of not really in my

330
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.400
mind until I started getting towards like
my junior senior year high school, whenever

331
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.880
I realized, hey, I'm top
two three in the country at my age

332
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:11.400
level. And then just this previous
indoor season at the Indoor USA Championships,

333
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.799
I finished second, and that's kind
of whenever the realism kind of really hit.

334
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.000
And so I mean, just trying
to carry that into outdoors this season

335
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.359
into next year and just keep trying
to improve on what I can control and

336
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:26.000
if that's good enough on the days
and so be it. I'm trying to

337
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.720
recall your story from from our previous
conversations. Isn't your mom a coach or

338
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.680
your dad's a coach and he to
kind of coach you early? Yeah,

339
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:37.920
So when I was a really young
kid, my dad coached me. They

340
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:42.039
both were d two All Americans at
Slipper Rock University back in Pennsylvania. So

341
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:45.440
my dad kind of coached me until
I got to high school. When I

342
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:49.160
was in high school, my mom
was my school coach and then also kind

343
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.519
of had a club coach that I
was working with at the time, and

344
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.720
they both now are volunteer assistant coaches
at Slipper Rock University at the college level.

345
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.559
Again, all right, so how
do you end up from out there

346
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:06.799
to Tucson, Arizona. I mean, it was just all part of the

347
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:10.799
recruiting processes. I took five visits, and this is the school that I

348
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:15.279
felt like I lined most with kind
of the image that they were going for.

349
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.440
I mean, I liked the team, I liked the culture. Being

350
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.119
in business school, they have a
great business school out here in Tucsons,

351
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:26.960
So just kind of the best fit
for me overall is why I ended up

352
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:30.759
coming out to two phones. So
once you put the shot put away and

353
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.000
your your career as a track guy
is over, well, what are you

354
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.480
hoping to do in the real world? I mean, the goal is to

355
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:41.240
give back to the sport as much
as I can, whether that be through

356
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.640
coaching or I'm also actually a certified
strength coach, so that's another avenue that

357
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:49.759
I could possibly get into. But
just loving the sport and wanting to kind

358
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.359
of be around that as long as
I can, kind of either being a

359
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:57.880
coach or strength coach or whatever that
might end up being. So, hey,

360
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.160
Jed, Hey, Jed, I
got another year of eligibility put me

361
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:10.400
in. I'm okay, thanks.
Well, nobody hits you in the shot

362
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:15.920
fun, right, you know you're
not getting pounded. So so what's walk

363
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.359
us through kind of your your map
going forward from where you are today?

364
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.559
You know nationals are coming up,
you know, Olympics, all those kinds

365
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.720
of things. What's you know,
what does your plan look like going forward?

366
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.960
For however many years you think you'll
be doing this? I mean,

367
00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.599
so the roadmap now is I mean
get through the college season, which will

368
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.960
be NCAA Championships in the second week
of June or whatever that is, and

369
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:45.079
then from there part of a professional
level that's going to be talking to agents,

370
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.119
trying to find sponsors um. For
track and field, especially in the

371
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.440
throwing, there's not a lot of
money to be had from sponsorships UM,

372
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.599
So a lot of that's going to
kind of depend on my agent, what

373
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.119
they're able to work with and if
I have any people that are going to

374
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:04.440
back me financially to try to get
to the level I'm trying to and then

375
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.960
just trying to win money at meets
USA Championships, going over to Europe competing

376
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.400
there, and then basically just doing
that all the way until we get to

377
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:21.319
the Olympic Trials next year. This
is probably a question you may not want

378
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.519
to answer. How's the NL helped
you out? Because you come on,

379
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:27.400
you're one of the more decorated track
guys there at UA, and one are

380
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.880
the better athletes too. I mean
that rules pretty much entirely for basketball football

381
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:41.319
players. Track and fields not a
very attractive sport for sponsors that might be

382
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.720
trying to look for athletes I did
have one which was a strength company up

383
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.880
in Portland, Kabuki Strength. I
was working with them. I had a

384
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.440
year long contract and they gave me
some equipment that really helped me advance my

385
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:57.799
performance forwards. So that's definitely a
relationship that I want to try to keep

386
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:03.000
after graduation and then try to keep
building those types of relationships. See that's

387
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:06.960
another thing, Like he says,
it's not a sport like basketball, football.

388
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.720
I don't the inequity sounds weird to
how's it going to work? So

389
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.480
so Jordan so does Olympics kind of
wrap things up for you and we're not

390
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.160
trying to end your career here or
anything like that, but just kind of

391
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.559
asking how long do you think you
can do this and you know, maybe

392
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.519
make a living at it. Whats
this is what you're doing. So this

393
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.200
is a sport. It's pretty interesting. It's different from football maybe outside of

394
00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:34.720
kickers and quarterbacks, where you could
do this into your thirties. A lot

395
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.319
of it's very technical, which you're
able to maintain over time, and then

396
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:42.920
strength based again you're able to maintain
strength levels over time. So it's a

397
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:47.039
sport that I'm able to do into
my thirties, But ultimately it's going to

398
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:48.519
be as long as I'm having fun
with it, as long as them staying

399
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:53.319
competitive with it. Hopefully trying to
make the twenty twenty eight Olympics would be

400
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.119
the dream, just because those they're
back in the US, So try to

401
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.319
work through that Olympics cycle at least
and then just kind of take it from

402
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.480
there. Yeah, and to stay
in the area or the West Coast rather

403
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:10.119
than going back east. That's going
to depend on a couple of things.

404
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:12.400
I'm going to stay out in Arizona
this next year, and then my fiance

405
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.359
is applying for PA school, so
she's going to be a position to assistant

406
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.839
and that's kind of going to dictate
where we end up going after that.

407
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:25.240
That's going to be either Arizona,
Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin where she's from.

408
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.279
And we kind of have a rough
plan for any one of those places,

409
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:32.119
kind of for me to train and
try to get a job maybe in a

410
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:37.200
strength role somewhere, but it's just
going to kind of depend on where the

411
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.559
chips lie after a PA school for
her. So it's an individual sport,

412
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.559
but you know you're on a team. So tell us a little bit about

413
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.960
you know how you think Arizona can
will fare you're coming up in the Outdoor

414
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.599
Outdoor Championships. I mean, do
you guys, what do you hope for?

415
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:59.039
What do you think is like maybe
a top mark for you guys coming

416
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.319
up? I mean the hope for
us, it's all about numbers. So

417
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:07.240
there's no reason we can't be a
top ten team in the nation at nationals.

418
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.880
Um The biggest one of the bigger
pride points that I take from this

419
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.680
past pack twelve championships that we just
had is the biggest track team in the

420
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.240
country's Oregon, and they're the most
notorious and the most historic, and we

421
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:23.680
just beat them at the Pactful Championships. We ended up finishing fifth, but

422
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:26.839
being able to beat such a historic
team like that, for at least the

423
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.279
men's side, was pretty cool.
So just being able to try to carry

424
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:36.119
that momentum, get as many people
qualified for Nationals as we can next week

425
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.200
at the regional qualifiers, and then
just score as many points as we can

426
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.359
in Austin, Texas for the NTA
Finals. What are what are your rivalries

427
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.680
or what are the rivalries in track? You know? What you know?

428
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.279
Are they individual unit? You see
somebody you know on another team and you

429
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.559
want to beat that guy, or
you know, are there team things like

430
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.599
that? You know, we were
just talking about the Territorial Cup. You

431
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:02.759
know how m does that matter to
you guys? But where are the rivalries

432
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:07.599
in the sport? It kind of, I guess depends that the meat you're

433
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:10.640
at. So for me, the
rest of the season, it's me against

434
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:15.480
every other shot putter and NA,
every other hammer thrower and NTA. That's

435
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.640
kind of how hans stacking myself up
against all these other people. But it's

436
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.200
the Pack twelve championships. Whenever Territorial
Cup points online, it came down to

437
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.519
track and field random women both had
to beat AFU to win it, and

438
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.920
we did it. So that's kind
of another thing. If we if we

439
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:34.720
weren't winning, at least beat the
sun Devils. That's kind of the real

440
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:40.000
goal there. But outside of that, we are actually a lot of people

441
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:44.359
from Tucson, a lot of people
from AFU. We are pretty pretty friendly

442
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:47.960
and we support each other and some
of these bigger meats, so just kind

443
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.039
of having that support going into NCA
two is pretty helpful. So when you're

444
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:56.119
sitting back in your lazy boy and
you have your grandson with you in your

445
00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.079
lap and you're telling them, you
know, all back in the day I

446
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:06.240
had this, guig, how will
you assessed your career here? That's a

447
00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:11.680
good question. I mean, it's
such a historic program, especially Throws program,

448
00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:18.200
going back to Meg Ritchie in the
eighties winning all these national championships.

449
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.519
Just kind of being a part of
such an historic THROS program and kind of

450
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:29.000
being able to contribute my piece with
eight All Americans six pack twelve titles national

451
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.799
championship and hopefully whatever lies ahead at
this upcoming national championship as well, just

452
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:38.119
being able to contribute to that history
is pretty special. What advice would you

453
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.920
give to a kid who's maybe in
high school right now and you know,

454
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:47.359
looking to do what you've been doing, But what's the first thing you would

455
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.359
tell them about how they approached this? I mean, I think the biggest

456
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:57.279
thing that's helped me is just understanding
what you're doing. It's easy to be

457
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:01.119
sitting here in your coach being in
your ear telling you what to do and

458
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:04.920
then saying, yes, they're just
being a robot and going out and trying

459
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:07.960
to do it. But unless you
understand the why behind it, it's going

460
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:13.519
to be pretty difficult to be able
to continue to build on that, especially

461
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.799
if you end up leaving that coach
and your if you have another coach come

462
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:21.200
in. It's it's just been such
a benefit to me just to be able

463
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:25.920
to truly understand what I'm doing and
why I'm doing it. Well, mister

464
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.519
Geist, thank you for joining us. Good luck the rest of the way.

465

why the nil is kind of not

468
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.960
fair. Yeah right, I mean
he's one of the all type greats,

469
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.880
right, name of football players who
has done as much for exactly the image

470
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:54.640
of Airs on athletics is Jordan's exactly. I don't know, n I l

471
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.319
is nil And more power to you
if you get money. But it's still

472
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:01.559
kind of weird to me. Here's
this dude. That's the dude, right,

473
00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:06.319
look at Sam Thomas. Yeah right, I mean, who's who's been

474
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:09.400
a face right, you know at
Arizona. Even after she's left, right,

475
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:13.480
but you know she's still a face
at Arizona. People still recognize that.

476

485
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:58.799
the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

486
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:00.799
to the coach and the man who
lived them, competed against them, and

487
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.319
inspired them. Twenty five chapters for
his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

right, we do have a caller, so let's uh, let's take this.

541
00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.360
Hi, Gabriel, you're on there
and I in the ball. How

542
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.559
are you guys? We're good.
Um, how are you guys doing?

543
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:15.480
We're good. We're ready for your
great reactions to what's going on. I

544
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:21.800
got it. Um. So I'm
very so two things. I'm very happy

545
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:30.960
that heel Larson and um and um
Man from Europe committing to the Arizona Wildcast.

546
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:37.559
So I'm happy with that. So
in regards to Polish football realignment for

547
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:44.320
the past twelve so I kind of
want to make a perdition in the next

548
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:52.239
three months, I think Arizona and
Colorado would be in the big Folve.

549
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:54.920
Wow, okay, three months,
So that's gonna get us to August.

550
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:02.679
Yes, Okay, we're gonna remember
that. We're gonna remember that. Yeah,

551
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.920
all right, what gives you that
idea? So? So I listened.

552
00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:16.440
So John, Chris Islet and he
covers um the Big Twelve and uh,

553
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:24.239
and so he did a story about
how the Big Ten vetted and clear

554
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:32.639
it um organ in Washington. So
whenever when whenever Oregon in Washington, or

555
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:39.840
whenever Big ten finally makes their decision
to grab Ork in Washington, that's that's

556
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:49.920
one of the factors. I still
think as time goes by, tools I'm

557
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:57.360
not gonna trust um grs criminal coughs
and just will decide to jump to shock

558
00:39:57.480 --> 00:40:02.760
and Arizona in Colorado would go to
the Big Twelve in about three months if

559
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:07.360
not seen happens. But let me
just say this, I don't know if

560
00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:12.000
that's going to be for certain,
But like I said to you guys,

561
00:40:12.079 --> 00:40:17.639
a lot of as as as long
as this go keeps going on, THO

562
00:40:17.800 --> 00:40:23.960
is all gonna be rest restless and
Mike decide to to go to better,

563
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:30.039
better positions. All right, Gabriel, Well, you know, rings to

564
00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.440
be seen. We'll see what happens. I you know, it's so up

565
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:36.400
in the air. There's the I
mean, we can guess all we want,

566
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:38.079
but we're not going to know anything
for ah a little while. Still,

567
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:39.920
so all right, Gabriel, Well, thank you for your opinion.

568
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:44.880
Appreciate it. Thank you guys,
you rock. Thank you Will Gabriel,

569
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:49.480
you better not to going faithful to
us the other programs at the same time,

570
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:54.719
I'm gonna hold you to us.
I don't know, Steve, you

571
00:40:54.800 --> 00:41:01.079
know, um the silences is it's
and it's been forever. I mean,

572
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:05.199
come on, Jay, we had
a bad last year about something I can

573
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:07.840
remember, and then August for augusts
right, you said, well, then

574
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.840
that came and then there was another
deadline and that came coming up on another

575
00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:15.440
August. Ben See, it's you
can't rush this. Well you had you

576
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:19.480
really had no idea how this is
going to develop. The way has developed

577
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:22.840
is that you know, everybody went
out and did their deal and the paco

578
00:41:23.199 --> 00:41:25.639
let me ask you, and maybe
we asked to, said Dave, And

579
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:29.199
I know he won't asker. But
but if now you're in the room,

580
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:32.679
right, you're here and listen to
these gibberish pretty much, probably how frustrated

581
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.719
are you because no one's agreeing or
no one says this, and there's denials

582
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:39.400
and all this. You say,
come on, guys, it's like politics.

583
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:42.800
Come on, guys, well they
get this going. Well, I

584
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:49.920
sort of understand why we don't know
more. That's because it's such a totally

585
00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:54.159
right, totally why we don't but
certain, but why is it taking so

586
00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:59.079
damn long? So the thing that
long and suring things leak, but you

587
00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:01.800
don't know if they're true right right? And you know, I was again

588
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:06.519
listening the guys that seemed to be
that I that I listened to, and

589
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:10.000
it seemed to know a lot.
Ross Dellinger Um for Sports Illustrated, Pat

590

guys and Ross more than more than more

00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:30.840
He goes. So he's there and
he's seen and he's talking to people

595
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:37.000
and even he says, we don't
know, and that's it, and that's

596
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.280
a frustrating part. We we we
hear things, but all the different things

597
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.000
that we hear, we really don't
know what's going on and what the hold

598
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:49.360
up is for the PAC twelve,
what the Big twelve is doing. You

599
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:53.000
know, you get you get Bret
your mark at at Big twelve was lobbying

600
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:57.519
grenades about saying what we want San
Diego stay, we want Colorado, we

601
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:01.519
want Arizona. You know, he
said, in the end, nobody really

602
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:06.519
knows. Don't you think whatever the
end is, because end could be tomorrow

603
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:08.440
and then two weeks it all changes. But don't you think in the end,

604
00:43:09.039 --> 00:43:15.079
in my end, and it's gonna
be four super conferences in d down

605
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:17.280
the road. In the end,
right, it will be twenty major whatever

606
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.639
you call them. Yes, right, it'll be Major East West cut whatever

607
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:23.960
it was, and it'll be a
free for all, right, four big,

608
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.880
big deals. The one thing that
that I don't know if it was

609
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.760
Ross Dallinger he said this, and
you know in one of his stories,

610
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:36.079
or I think it was he he
you know, there was a somebody from

611
00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:38.599
the Big ten, I think,
and an ad or a president from the

612
00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:44.119
Big ten that said, they don't
you know, one of the reasons they're

613
00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:47.039
not going after Oregon in Washington.
One is the money, right said they

614
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:51.159
would need a two hundred million,
two hundred million more dollars in TV money

615
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:53.239
for those two programs to be able
to go there. It's not there.

616
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:57.559
But the second thing he said,
we don't want to be seen as the

617
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.840
ones that blow up the PAC twelve, that you that down the road.

618
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:06.559
Historically, if the PAC twelve implodes
or blows up, that let it be

619
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:08.599
on the PAC twelve or not on
us. Right, are going and taking

620
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:12.280
order because they know if they take
Oregon and Washington, that's it for the

621
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:15.280
past. Yeah, we don't want
to be the ones to get blamed for

622
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.599
that. And I thought that was
an interesting point of view. But again,

623
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.119
more than anything, as always,
it's all about the money. Sure,

624
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:27.159
everything we talked about is about the
money. It's kind of crazy.

625
00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.320
And and the PAC twelve, a
big twelve commissioner can say all he wants,

626
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:32.840
but whether or not they want Colorado
and Arizona and San Diego State,

627
00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:37.400
there doesn't seem to be a lot
of money to go around. ESPN is

628
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:40.199
lame employees off. There's not money, you know, getting thrown around.

629
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:45.280
There's all these other contracts that ESPN
for instance, is going after with with

630
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:52.119
you know, the the uh UFC
and all that kind of stuff. There's

631
00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:55.760
a whole bunch and there's not money
being thrown around anymore. There's not a

632
00:44:55.840 --> 00:45:00.519
lot of money left to go around, So you know, for people afraid

633
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.639
that Oregon and Washington are going worse. Where is the big where's two hundred

634
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:09.239
million dollars going to come from to
put those guys into the Big the Big

635
00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:13.840
Ten? And then the other issue
is, you know, these guys were

636
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:16.679
going through a college football schedule.
He said, there's only so many slots,

637
00:45:17.320 --> 00:45:22.079
right, There's only so many games
in your conference week to week,

638
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:25.960
there are great games, said,
so the Big Ten has three prime TV

639
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:30.079
slots, right, the noon slot, the one thirty slot, and then

640
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:36.159
primetime slot slot. And they said
there are some weeks where there aren't three

641
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:40.639
games worthy of all those slots.
Yeah, there aren't. Are you gonna

642
00:45:40.639 --> 00:45:45.559
all of a sudden put Illinois Minnesota? You know, it's gonna be Ohio

643
00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:50.079
State, Michigan and Penn State and
whoever they're playing. And those guys can

644
00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:53.719
only play each other, so you
know so many times, So it's such

645
00:45:53.760 --> 00:46:00.440
a numbers game. So I don't
know, it's just it's crazy crazy,

646
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:04.199
Um okay, low breaking news here, UH if you're planning on going out

647
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:07.760
to the UH Softball Championship game has
been played out at UH at Hill and

648
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:14.360
Brand. It's been apparently been raining
hard over there. The field is a

649
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.320
mess. Uh, and there's some
doubt as to whether or not the games

650
00:46:16.360 --> 00:46:22.679
are gonna get played tonight. Sabino

651

00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.960
playing Empire, supposed to be playing
Empire at five thirty, and then at

653
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:37.880
eight it's supposed to be Sabino and
not Sabino, sal Point and um,

654
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:42.559
I have it right here, sal
Point and Greenway. The one and two

655
00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:45.840
seeds is supposed to be played at
eight o'clock. Both of those games tonight.

656
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:50.199
Javier Morales, Johnny on the spot
over there, has been tweeting out

657
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:52.960
that the field is pretty Muney Muddy
said, it rained pretty hard over there.

658
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:55.559
Um, don't know if they're gonna
be able to get those games in.

659
00:46:57.480 --> 00:47:00.480
Okay, Yeah, that's so.
And you mentioned some point they've want

660
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:04.440
a bunch of titles, especially with
a new coach. They just said,

661
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:07.199
give the give the keys to somebody
new and she'll find a way to win

662
00:47:07.239 --> 00:47:12.519
it. I've just tweeted. Uh. He was told the AA Associate Executive

663
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.760
Doctor Joe Paddock is on his way
to Hill and Brand to check out the

664
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:17.960
conditions of the infield, So the
meeting will be held with them pirates to

665
00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.840
being the ads. Determination will be
made. A three A and four A

666
00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:25.599
championship games will be played tonight.
Coaches told not to have the team's worm

667
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:30.199
out. So there you go.
You're plan on getting out there for that

668
00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:34.079
stuff. That's what's going on out
there. You know, we're sitting here

669
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:37.800
in the dark. We don't know
if it's raining. So anyways, um,

670
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:42.800
Colorado continue to get guys. Man, they got it. They gotta

671
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:47.000
they got a running back now,
they gotta I think a receiver that they

672
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:51.159
stole from I think USC. No. I mean, do you think they're

673
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:54.280
gonna be uh we talked about this. I think the Vegas line has them

674
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:59.480
ahead of Arizona, right but barely, just like fifth or six seventies whatever

675
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:02.119
was. Do you think they're gonna
have more talent there now than Arizona?

676
00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:07.880
More talent. I'm not talking about
overall stuff because he's he's We did out

677
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:12.159
obviously people and brought in some people. I don't know, you know,

678
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.079
I mean, how good are these
guys again? And he brought a bunch

679
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:17.760
of you know, I brought a
bunch of f FCS guys with him.

680
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:21.079
How good are those guys? I
mean, there are a reason that they're

681
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.920
playing FCS at you know, an
FCF school instead of a you know,

682
00:48:24.599 --> 00:48:29.960
uh an FBS school. So I
don't know, Um, do they have

683
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:31.400
they upgraded? Certainly they have to
have, you know, they got a

684
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:37.079
bunch of top recruits, you know, but how much have they upgraded?

685
00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:39.760
And how much? How how are
they gonna be able to put all those

686
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:43.760
guys together in a short period of
time to get his seasons? Yeah?

687
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:45.480
No, no, I get our
playing well, but if better, it

688
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:49.320
is better. It's gonna kind of
be like Jets progression. Right. You

689
00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.199
you have what you have which was
not in anything. Second year or third

690
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.400
year, you get better talent and
you win more games and maybe in a

691
00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:59.639
kind of a weird way. You
know, if you're an Arizona fan or

692
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.360
any see You fan or from whoever, you just like the fact that people

693
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:07.079
are talking about the PAC twelve because
they're talking about Colorado one of the big

694
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:12.159
games the first weekend of the college
football season. It's Colorado TCU. That

695
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:16.440
was a nothing game you know last
year, right going into this year when

696
00:49:16.599 --> 00:49:20.760
your new Colorado TCU, we're gonna
play first game of the Year. You

697
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:23.760
thought that's a crap game, But
all of a sudden, Colorado's got all

698
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:28.000
this, all this attention, and
so people are gonna be excited to see

699
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:30.719
that game. They'll be interesting to
say. And if they get beat,

700
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:34.199
they get blasted forty one to seven, then you know, we'll see what

701
00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:38.280
happens after that. I don't know. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see.

702
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:42.840
August comes pretty quickly here it does, and then September and then we'll

703
00:49:42.840 --> 00:49:45.559
see what happens injuries and blah blah
blah. Yeah, yeah, no,

704
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:50.920
I you know, but this this
kid, Alton McCaskill from Houston, is

705
00:49:51.000 --> 00:49:57.039
not committed to Colorado. So well
they'll be better Colora like Arizona was better.

706
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:01.960
Yeah, so we'll see. Yeah. He was the UH American Athletic

707
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:07.119
Conference Rookie of the Year last year. So you know, I have a

708
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:10.599
I have a thought that you know, Okay, so he Dion gets there,

709
00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:15.840
uh gets changes with kids, you
know, fifty four whatever many left

710
00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:21.400
that even the new crop that comes
in, we'll see a lot leave after

711
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:24.079
this year. Yeah, after her
first coaches, you know, see gets

712
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:28.599
the system down or not get it
down, and it'll be a revolving door.

713
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:31.280
It'll and it will always be like
exactly. I mean, this doesn't

714
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:35.519
happen by accident because if you,
like, if you want to be coached,

715
00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:37.840
and I think kids still do,
you'd probably say, okay, I

716
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:42.920
can deal with it or not.
Then you get there you find out maybe

717
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:45.360
you can't. Right. I don't
know if I could, because it's hard.

718
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:47.960
I don't know if I could.
Um, it depends on how level

719
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:51.440
I would be. Quite kind of
good I would be. But uh,

720
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:55.239
it seems I love I love the
videos I see because they're inspirational and they're

721
00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:58.920
kind of yeah, I get it, that's kind of cool. But every

722
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:01.320
day, yeah, every day it's
kind Sometimes it kind of falls up.

723
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:07.880
It's asking you bring me flowers.
I don't need flowers, kind of I'm

724
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:12.639
kind of allergic to them. Now, give me a kiss on the cheek,

725
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:17.760
right, creeck me a dinner.
He sounds like a guy who's had

726
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:25.639
some trouble. I won't even say, oh my god, oh my god.

727
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:30.519
All right, Steve, you're feeling
you're still feeling the Nuggets to night.

728
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:32.880
I love the Nuggets. Don't do
it to me, man, don't

729
00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:37.360
crush my dreams. Well, what
am I supposed to do nothing? Nothing?

730
00:51:37.480 --> 00:51:39.039
You sit and watch which sit there
and look pretty, sit there and

731
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:43.920
look pretty. Don't do it well? First of all, say it looking

732
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:45.719
pretty. It is a hard thing
for me to do well. No one

733
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:47.519
will be in the room to notice, will be I thought she was on

734
00:51:47.679 --> 00:51:52.440
earth out of town. Oh,
she could be in another room, or

735
00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:55.199
she gonna watching watching a succession.
Man, we're trying to catch up on

the show of that. I had to

737
00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:04.199
be talked into it. Somebody,
actually, a friend, I like it.

738
00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:07.679
I'm having a great time with a

00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:29.599
It's good. It's been fun to
watch. And he's not really Jetfish,

743
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:31.679
he's he's just kind of a goofy
guy. Yeah, but I it's been

744
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:37.480
fun. Where it's the third season? Now where on the third four episodes

745
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.239
in? Oh? I thought had
more seasons four episodes into it. Um,

746
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:44.719
I think we're a couple behind.
Still but it's been fun. It's

747
00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:49.000
been a fun watch. I'm not
a binge watcher, I'm not a series

748
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:52.519
watcher. I'm watching this. I'm
watching The White House Plumbers. And that's

749
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:54.559
it. You know. My daughter's
been trying to give me the succession.

750
00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:58.960
I tried to watch a couple of
others haven't been able to stay with.

751
00:52:59.679 --> 00:53:04.199
Yeah, I'm I'm hooked on The
White House Plumbers right now. But are

752
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.519
goofy dudes. You can see how
they bumbled and stumbled their away too.

753
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:12.199
Messes. Man, it's just scary
to know that those guys we're running the

754
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.559
show right, right, and how
important, how politics hasn't really changed,

755
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:16.679
right, It's still the same.
It's still the same. It's still the

756
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:20.719
same. All right. Thanks for
being here today. We hope you had

757
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.480
a good time with Jordan Geist and
Jason heis. Good show tomorrow, Good

758
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:29.000

it's an FC Tucson and some Phoenix Final

759
00:53:29.039 --> 00:53:30.400
Force and be sure to come back
to small
