WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:06.400 Steve Rivera and Jagan Saliz. They have their eye on the ball on Tucson 2 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:12.240 Sports Big Yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty streaming live. I mean, iHeart radio. 3 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:16.640 Wham, Welcome back to ball Here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm 4 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.800 your host, Jagan Zalaz. My buddy Steve is on the road today. 5 00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:23.800 So I've got a great guest host here in George Martis from Showtime Cards, 6 00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.519 and we got Ryan here getting ready to go with breaking news Fox Sports fourteen 7 00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:33.240 fifty. Hit it again, Ryan, Hit it again, This says I 8 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:38.039 on the ball, Breaking News on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, 9 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.000 Ryan, go all right, So the first thing we'll start with in the 10 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:48.200 NBA Timberwolves, Rudy Gobert, let's find seventy five for money sign gesture towards 11 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:53.679 the referees on Sunday. Well, I mean that's I guess that's about right, 12 00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.880 because if you throw stuff at the ref like Jamal Murray did the other 13 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.479 night, you find one hundred thousand dollars. So so that's just making a 14 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.680 gesture seventy five thousand dollars. I guess that's about right. And I'm sure 15 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.159 you know not all that painful for him. Do you think no pocket change? 16 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.640 Exactly, it's it's in the ash tray about But all right, so 17 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.799 was it. I didn't see it, so I don't know, you know, 18 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.480 how it happened or what happened. But obviously he was unhappy about the 19 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.519 officiating last last night. Yeah. So he was going up for a rebound 20 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.239 and he kind of shoved one of the players in the back, so it 21 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.439 was it was a foul, but he was walking away and he just kind 22 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.920 of put his head down and just kind of did a money justter sign towards 23 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.640 the rest. You know. I guess, oh that they got a little 24 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.519 I guess that deserves the fine. I don't think you can do that. 25 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.599 I'm pretty sure it was. It wasn't like out there like he just kind 26 00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:00.599 of did it. Oh I see. But anyway, all right, so 27 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.240 the next Ricky news is Doug got Leave is hired as the new men's basketball 28 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.120 coach at Green Bay. Yeah. I saw that. I mean, just 29 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:14.800 out of nowhere, right, guys had the radio show before ours on the 30 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:16.319 fuck right, you know, and he's been a you know a long time, 31 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.919 he's been a play by play guy. I know he's done you know, 32 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.840 I remember he did some Arizona games. Uh, probably for Fox, 33 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:28.800 since that's what that Fox is where his radio show is. Sure, so 34 00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.400 he was here in town a few times. A basketball player at Oklahoma Stake 35 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.159 got off a little trouble, little credit card issue when he was in college, 36 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:38.000 but you know, he's kind of fought that off, and so now 37 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.520 he's going to be a college basketball coach. What do you know? And 38 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:45.360 sometimes it happens when coaches, I think the Indiana football coach did that. 39 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.520 Does that shock you when when they go from like broadcaster or analysts into like 40 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.000 a head coach position. Yeah, I mean who knows. I mean like 41 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.360 they're talking about JJ Reddick being the coach of the Lakers. Guys never coached 42 00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.719 in his life, right, and now he's gonna be the coach of the 43 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.599 Lake he podcast? Yeah, I mean, yes, yes, he was 44 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.319 a good basketball player, you know, arguly during his time, one of 45 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.840 the best basketball players around it at that particular time. But he's been a 46 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.719 TV guy in a radio or whatever. And now you say, well, 47 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.039 he can be an NBA coach and I don't. I don't get that sometimes, 48 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.199 you know, but you know, I mean Jed Fish, right, 49 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.159 all of a sudden, he comes out of nowhere and he's a you know, 50 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.719 didn't play at all and becomes a coach and then works his way up 51 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.360 and he's you know, he's now coaching at Washington, one of the top 52 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.319 programs in the country. So it just depends. And I'm not saying that 53 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:38.960 you have to be you have to grow up in the business to do it. 54 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.800 God, he played in college. I mean Green Bay is a mid 55 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.960 major at best, a logo major, right, So I mean, yeah, 56 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.159 I guess you know, if he's got basketball knowledge, he convinced somebody 57 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.680 that he does, and so yeah, I guess h we'll see, Yeah, 58 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.319 we'll find out what happens in the interview that. I just hope he's 59 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:03.719 good with the media, rights, good with the media. He treats him 60 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.680 well, answers questions, you know, is open to stuff, because sometimes 61 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.280 you get to that side of it, you go, Okay, now I 62 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.319 know why that coach didn't talk to us much, and I'm not talking to 63 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.800 you guys. I hate that. I hate that, all right. Interesting, 64 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:26.560 Let's switch over to University of Arizona the men's golf. Sam Summerhouser, 65 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.160 he led the Wildcats in the second round of the regionals. Well, I 66 00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.439 think that was yesterday, the second round today. What place are they in? 67 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:41.480 Because they were in second place going into today. I thought I saw 68 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:50.439 maybe they were third place. What's today Tuesday? Okay, because I I 69 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:56.600 well, sorry, that was that was just oh, Summerhouses in fifth place. 70 00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.800 Okay, let's see. I'm trying. I'm trying to get it up 71 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:04.040 right now. I believe, Well, you have one. You have to 72 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.959 be in the top five in order to in order to be UH to make 73 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:13.319 the nationals. We saw that the women finished sixth last year. Last week, 74 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.480 so they did not they did not get into the UH, into the 75 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.360 region, into the national tournament. Uh. The men, Uh, they 76 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.120 were they were the two seed in the in the UH tournament. So here 77 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.920 we go. They are in third place. Now, Uh, there's six 78 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.040 strokes out of second place. Purdue passed them up. Uh they're nine under 79 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:38.040 par. The sixth place team is two over. So there are eleven strokes 80 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.680 within the qualify. You know, where they want to qualify to get into 81 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:45.560 the tournament's Vanderbilt, Perdue, Arizona, New Mexico, then Florida. So 82 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.360 you know, they just hold the ground Tomorrow they get into the national tournament, 83 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:54.399 and that's what they're trying to do. All right. The last thing 84 00:05:54.480 --> 00:06:02.560 here recording John g Gruden case up. There a lot of court orders John 85 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.000 Gruden case to go to NFL arbitration, oh regarding it was it was a 86 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.560 defamation case. Yeah, I think he was terminated back in one. That 87 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.680 sounds right, Yeah, yeah, I mean, I I can see how 88 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.040 he's upset that that stuff got up. But it's in writing, isn't it, 89 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:30.439 and stuff like that. You're talking ten fifteen years later, you know, 90 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:36.600 it's just they're digging up so much. You know, it's You're right, 91 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.279 it isn't writing, and it's a shame and I think, but it 92 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.240 is a long time ago, so it's it's up to the judge, you 93 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:46.759 know. Well, And and again I'm sure he wants to get back in 94 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.319 the end of the end, absolutely, you know, but you said what 95 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.360 you said, right, yep. And I don't know that he necessarily got 96 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.560 defamed. Word got out about things that he said. That's not being that's 97 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.759 not defamatory. That's what you see in writing, right. Yeah. A 98 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.199 lot of times that doesn't change, you know what the type of person you 99 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.879 are, so well, as in a scene in the movie Social Networks. 100 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.600 What's on the internet. It's in ink and it's not technically an ink, 101 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:25.639 but it's out there and you can erase it, and uh and me, 102 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.720 you know, so many, so many things. You know, you say 103 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.120 something you think was innocent when you said it, and all of a sudden 104 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.480 you lose your job over it, and yeah, what are you gonna do? 105 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:45.720 All right? College football? They they announced the football opener ABC. 106 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.959 It's going to be Notre Dame and Texas A and m oh, okay, 107 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.120 do we know is it is? There? Is there an Ireland game again? 108 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.040 This year's Notre Dame? Is that game in Ireland by any chance? 109 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.360 Because I know they played who they play a north Western there or somebody there 110 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.519 last year? Right, they opened it up in Ireland. I don't know 111 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:13.160 if they're doing nothing there anything about it being over in Ireland again? Yeah, 112 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.120 that would be cool. Yeah, Yeah, it's fun. It's fun. 113 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.360 And this thing's still coming along. There's still stuff coming out. But 114 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.399 it looks like the University of California Border Regents is deciding how much money cal 115 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.839 is going to get from UCLA for going to the Big Ten. And it 116 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.480 looks like it's gonna be ten million dollars a year for they're trying to decide 117 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:39.679 how many years. But I saw calculation the other day that in the end, 118 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:46.200 after UCLA has to pay cal and then you throw in travel expenses above 119 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.519 and beyond what they were paying while being in the PAC twelve, in the 120 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.159 end they're gonna be there with a new TV deal in the Big ten. 121 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.840 They're going to get forty three million dollars, which is really only about ten 122 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.720 million if they stayed in the bid state in LA because they are saying that 123 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.919 if u c l A had stayed in the PAC twelve and the PAC twelve 124 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.440 had survived, they probably would have gotten a thirty three to thirty five million 125 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:13.799 dollars a year contract. So is the eight million dollars worth everything the breakup? 126 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.960 That's what started the breakup? Is that really going to be worth your 127 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.000 while to have done what you're doing? It doesn't sugn you know you USC 128 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.279 is gonna get all kinds of money because they don't have to share it with 129 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.000 anybody. But yeah, CAL is gonna have U c l A Is gonna 130 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:35.120 have to give up. They're calling that calimony. I love that. I 131 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.240 thought that, I said, as he doesn't have to give up us, 132 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.159 he doesn't have to give up any because they're private. The private school again, 133 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.519 right, you know CALS U c l A is part of the UC 134 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.960 system, which you know Cal is and so the regions are saying CAL is 135 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.879 losing this much money by U c l A leaving, So UL has to 136 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.120 make that up to CAL, which is what you get. That's the way 137 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.960 it goes. Man. Sometimes you bear, all right, what else? 138 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.840 So going back to the island, it's going to be Florida State and Georgia 139 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.519 Tech. They're going to be kicking off week zero. Oh okay, oh 140 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.399 in Ireland. All right, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. 141 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.000 But okay, you know Notre Dame in Ireland said right right, But 142 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.639 Florida State and Georgia Tech, you said, all right. You know what's 143 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:28.120 fascinating to me about that. And even when you see the the the NFL 144 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.720 games that are played in Europe is how many of the fans there get the 145 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.840 gear where the gear they it looks like an NFL stadium. And you know 146 00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.200 the Notre Dame game last year, they all had Notre Dame gear on, 147 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.120 right, and like they mind it because they know who Notre Dame is, 148 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.960 or they buying it just because that's a team that's playing. I would say 149 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.720 a little of both, you know. Yeah, some of them are true 150 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.879 fans, some of them become fans. Some of them witness like what an 151 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.919 NFL experience or a big experience, are like, this is cool, you 152 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:01.759 want to be a fan? You know, this is the first game I 153 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.840 got to watch. The team was, you know, Notre Dame. So 154 00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.960 now I'm on Irish. Yeah, yeah, And I mean they draw huge 155 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:16.159 crowds because those stadiums are huge right there, thousand, Wembley and and all 156 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.360 of those, they're massive stadiums. But yeah, I mean Mexico, Mexico 157 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:28.279 City. Yeah, it's but I remember watching the watching that Notre Dame game. 158 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.559 The pregame on it, and they're showing the fans out in the streets 159 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.000 and they're all in the gear and the scarves and the beanies and the pennants 160 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.919 and the jerseys, and I'm like, it looked like that that game was 161 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.759 a Notre Dame, right, it was pretty funny. It's pretty funny to 162 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.159 me. Interesting. I mean they're starting to yeah, well yeah, I 163 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.919 mean they they're you know, they there was a South Korea series, you 164 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.720 know, the Dodgers and the Padres. Uh, somebody just went down and 165 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.559 played in Mexico, right, I don't remember who I think. I think 166 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.879 no, because the Padres played the Dodgers in Korea in South Korea, so 167 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.240 I remember what it was. But yeah, I would think they were taking 168 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.720 somebody like Miami down there, or somebody like that right from Houston, or 169 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.559 somebody from one of the southern you know, border cities with a lot of 170 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:24.759 Hispanics. My thought right now, it's it's still major League Baseball to them. 171 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.000 Yeah, all right, that's it. Okay, So all right, 172 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.399 we're gonna have you here in a couple of minutes. Kenzie follower Kensie follower, 173 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.759 Quinn. She said she's married a former Arizona football player, and uh, 174 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.080 she'll she'll be joined us. She's an ESPN announcer. She's at Stanford 175 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.320 Regional, which is she's she's got got to shut it down. Uh, 176 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.240 but now I can't remember who else is over there there Friday there, Friday 177 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.759 through Sunday Regional. Arizona's in a Friday through Sunday Regional and Fadeville, Arkansas 178 00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:01.279 they've got Villa Nova on on on Friday. But we'll get some hert thoughts, 179 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:03.799 not just on on the national tournament, but as well. You know 180 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.559 the PAC twelve teams who are in it? I think there's seven. I 181 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:16.159 want to say, Uh, Stanford, Ucla, USC, I think USC, 182 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.600 Arizona, who else? I don't know. I can't go through it 183 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.240 all, but interesting that the number one seed in the tournament is Texas and 184 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.679 not Oklahoma. Oklahoma kind of faded a little bit this year. They looked 185 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.320 unbeatable the last couple of years they've won the last couple of national championships. 186 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.759 Oregon is in it. Oregon is in the is in the Oklahoma Regional. 187 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:46.159 Who else? Uh? Looking through this, I see UCLA is the sixth 188 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.039 seed in the tournament. PAC twelf Championship. I don't know. Washington is 189 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.399 in They're in the Columbia Missouri regional. As I mentioned, Stanford hosting, 190 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.759 which is where Kenzie Foller will be. Cal is at the Baton Rouge Regional. 191 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.639 They're not They're not seated. And then I think that's all of them 192 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.080 in Arizona. So there you go. That's so that's where and who the 193 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.840 PAC twelve has got in its last year as a league, which is still 194 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.039 makes me sad. All right, Kenzie Foller coming up, we'll pick her 195 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.759 brain about the national tournament bout Arizona, some of her thoughts on that. 196 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.759 And she's a local, so she's from Cdo her her alma mater just got 197 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.879 beat in the state championship by Cell Point again and so I know maybe if 198 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.159 we get a chance, we'll ask her about that. So stick around, 199 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.879 Kenzie follow coming right up.

So, Kenzie, welcome 280 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:26.759 to the show, Thanks for being here, Thanks for having me. Let's 281 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.880 talk a little postseason. Yeah, it's that time of the year again. 282 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.400 Right, how far how fired up do you get for this? You know, 283 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.759 having played in it, been in a college World Series, Just how 284 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.599 did your juices get flowing about this tournament every year? Yeah? And the 285 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:48.000 way it starts, you know, Regionals it's my favorite week outside of maybe 286 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.119 the World Series, because you have sixty four teams. Everyone has the same 287 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.640 you know, hopes and dreams. It's a new season, clean slate for 288 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.680 everyone, and there's usually some pandemonia that goes on because there's just so many 289 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:06.519 games that are happening. You can't watch anything else, and you'll have upsets 290 00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.960 of the higher seeds and you know, whether top seed comes through and they 291 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.519 have to play the extra game. All the dramatics you don't really always get 292 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:18.799 these kinds of dramatics. And maybe the World Series, but just I don't 293 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:23.680 know. It's all the mid majors coming together against the Power five conferences. 294 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:29.079 You know, teams like Arizona having to hit the road, Arkansas not really 295 00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.440 wanting to play a team like that, Right, I don't know. Regionals 296 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.279 has a little something extra to it. They usually do. They usually do 297 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:37.519 as mentioned, you're going to be at the Stanford Regional. Arizona is in 298 00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.759 Arkansas, and you just you just mentioned that, you know, Arizona and 299 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.200 not not you know, not seeded. They didn't get one of the sixteen 300 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.039 seeds, but they're a number two seed. You know, they've got as 301 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.759 good a shot as anybody, you know going on the road and winning something 302 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.039 like this. How strong was the Pac twelve and that How good of a 303 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.720 shot do you think Arizona has at this regional. I think it's a great 304 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:03.799 draw for Arizona. When I saw their name come up on the board, 305 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.839 I was pleasantly like excited that My first gut reaction was like, yeah, 306 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.839 okay, they can do this. This is a team that they've already played 307 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:17.960 twice, have already beat once. And this is a regional that just a 308 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.240 couple of years ago, this freshman class won on the road to go to 309 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.160 the Women's College World Series in this same ballpark. Karlie Scoop and Ali Scaggs, 310 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.079 you know, players on the team that went set twenty twenty one his 311 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:36.039 Calde World Series out of the Supers on the road. So I like their 312 00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:41.480 draw. I think even advancing out of the regional in Arkansas. You know, 313 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.559 you pair up with what could be an Oklahoma State team. I don't 314 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.200 know. I think it's a really good path for Arizona and they're playing well 315 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:51.920 right now. So what tell us a little bit about your what your impressions 316 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.519 of this team, what it's done this year, strengths, maybe some weaknesses 317 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.880 of what do they have to do to get out of this region. Yeah, 318 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.160 going into the season, you know, with all of the pitching injuries 319 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.240 that they've had, you know, missing a couple of really big arms, 320 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.559 people kind of forget about that a little bit. So the weakness going into 321 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.240 the season definitely was in the circle just because you have, you know, 322 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.160 injury, there's three of your best pictures. It's gonna weaken what you can, 323 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.440 you know, do on the field. But I've been pleasantly surprised with 324 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.119 what they've been able to do. And if anybody's tuned into their games, 325 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.960 they use their their three arms, so they consistently use sometimes you'll see a 326 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:37.519 fourth and Ali Blanchard, but they'll use Aissa Silva, who's their main picture 327 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.799 there Ace if you will, Miranda Stoddard and Brooke mannon a freshman, and 328 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.119 they'll use them every single game. Like a pitching staff, you'll have your 329 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.680 starter, you'll have your middle reliever, and you'll have your closer, and 330 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.039 they mix it up. So it's very hard to scout and predict on who's 331 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.240 gonna get the start, who's going to come in for middle relief, and 332 00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:59.599 who's going to close. But they've done a really good job at managing that, 333 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.279 and they've hit the ball really well as of late. You always want 334 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.920 to make sure that you're peaking at the right time. You don't want to 335 00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.039 be peaking in February or March, you want to be peaking in May. 336 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.240 And they're solid defensively. They're the second best defensive team in the nation if 337 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.880 you go by fielding percentage, and you know, you return the gold Glove 338 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.200 of Ali Skaggs, the second base, the shortstop Taylor bial just won Pack 339 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.519 twelve Defensive Player of the Year. So for a team that doesn't have that 340 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:32.039 All American you know, strike out twelve. You know, hitters a game 341 00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.880 type of pitcher in the circle. They are very comfortable with pitching to contact, 342 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.599 letting their defense do the work and scrapping a couple of runs across on 343 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.559 the board. When when you have a pitching staff like that that you know, 344 00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:48.160 just game to game and you're you're pitching towards situations. That's kind of 345 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:51.839 the best you can do, right if you don't have a so called ace, 346 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.640 and and the pitching coach that they brought in, Christian Conrad, it 347 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.240 seems like he's kind of having to manage it every single game. Yeah, 348 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.839 and there's so much scouting that you can do now, even that wasn't around 349 00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.279 when I played. There's so much data that I use for my broadcast, 350 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:11.920 so I can't even imagine what they're breaking down inside the clubhouse and what's just 351 00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:18.920 available to anyone to just go on and break down every single hitter and the 352 00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.920 stats and the spring charts and all the things. So if you don't have 353 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.000 a strikeout pitcher, and you utilize the data and really study the spring charge 354 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.559 and what the hitters are putting out on the field, you can shift your 355 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.359 defense. And they'll do that a lot. If you watch Arizona, they'll 356 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:38.200 even bring in Reagan Shockey from center field to have five infielder's just skipping over 357 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.599 to the left side of the infield, pitching into the defense, not going 358 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.839 for the strikeout, literally saying We're going to let you hit the ball, 359 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.079 but our defense is going to get the outs. And they've been very successful 360 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.279 at that this season. Yeah. Now I've seen that where they they'll one 361 00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.400 position in the outfield, there won't be anybody out there. The other night 362 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.079 they had nobody in right field. For better that. You know, there 363 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.079 will be a couple of times where you know, you look at the statistics, 364 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.279 it might burn you, but you wanted to play the odds right. 365 00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:08.680 And if you're going to say ninety five percent of the time we're going to 366 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:14.720 be successful with this, you take those ods absolutely. Analytics go into everything. 367 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.680 Kenzy, I'm going to like go away a little bit from softball, 368 00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:22.519 but keep it in women's sports. Right now, it's tremendous with obviously with 369 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:27.960 Caitlin Clark. Is there anyone that you see nationally that could elevate softball? 370 00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.279 Not to that level obviously, but even take it up a little I do. 371 00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.799 And I'm going to be calling her recental this weekend. So I'm very 372 00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:42.519 excited about my assignment. You know, it's interesting. We had our ESPN 373 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:47.720 production call this morning and the first thing that you know, ESPN was talking 374 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:52.240 about is the numbers that just came in for the regular season of all of 375 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:57.079 the ESPN networks, and the ratings were up thirteen percent from a season ago, 376 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.000 and they were the highest number since twenty fifteen, which is this a 377 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.680 year away from when I last was on a ballfield. So kind of puts 378 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:10.119 in perspective where we're at. And I think it's just a culmination of women's 379 00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:15.359 sports. And people are excited WNBA opening night tonight, and it's flooding my 380 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:18.839 social teas right right. It's a very cool moment to be a part of. 381 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:25.359 And you want to talk about a star, I think Nijah Kennedy could 382 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:29.400 be that future star. Kind of been hidden a little bit over on the 383 00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:33.559 West Coast in the PAC twelve, but she's just a sophomore. And if 384 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.640 anybody tuned into the postseason run that Stanford had last year, they were a 385 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:42.720 couple of pitches away from beating Oklahoma and the Women's College World Series with her 386 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:48.680 in the circle. She's an electric pitcher. She's a righty. She throws 387 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:53.240 seventy two seventy three miles an hour with a rise change. Combo. I 388 00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.559 called her in the PAC twelve tournament, and I'm putting up quotations in the 389 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.039 air right now. She had an off night with ten straight outs and six 390 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.359 walks, and that was I'm gonna be honest, probably the worst I've seen 391 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.440 her pitch. But she doesn't she doesn't give you outings like that. She's 392 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.799 gonna get fifteen strikeouts and you're gonna have to find a way to score against 393 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.720 her. But she's probably who I circle in terms of who could be the 394 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.039 future faith for our sport. Yeah. And when you you know, you 395 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.480 get into these uh, you know, the these tournaments and you start getting 396 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:26.640 the attention, and you know, obviously the key is to get to the 397 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.720 College World Series because that's where you really get the spotlight on you. But 398 00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:32.279 that, you know, that's when you find out, you know, what 399 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:36.119 kind of I don't know, staying power a player like that, you know 400 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:41.720 might have going forward. You've got this, You've got this regionally up up 401 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.440 at Stanford. Tell us a little bit about the teams that are there. 402 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:52.400 Yeah, we have a couple of conference champs and Saint Mary's, cal State 403 00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.200 Fullerton, and then an at large bid out of the SEC in Mississippi State. 404 00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.440 Karen Mowett, a name that people know very well. Coach for Mississippi 405 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:06.759 State. So excited to be reunited with her and chat it up a little 406 00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.039 bit with her on Thursday when I get to head down to practice and scout 407 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.559 the teams a little bit, and then of course the top eight seed and 408 00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:18.359 Stanford as the host. So Misssippi State a very good team out of the 409 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.279 SEC, having themselves a career year, finishing above five hundred in the conference 410 00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:26.200 for the first time in over a decade, and their pitching numbers are really 411 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.160 good with coach Moet coming in, So yeah, I think it'll be a 412 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:34.440 really fun regional. We're going to have the primetime games. Being on the 413 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:41.079 West Coast, we'll have I think at ESPN two Friday night at seven ish, 414 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.799 our time game on Friday. So yeah, it'll be a good start. 415 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.319 Okay, well, you brought up Mississippi State, which takes me to 416 00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:52.279 the bone that I said I had to pick when you were off air. 417 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:57.920 How is it possible that you can finish in last place in your league and 418 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.920 still get in the post season. Every SEC team got into the tournament. 419 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.359 And I don't care what the RPI is, what the analytics are, all 420 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:12.200 the whatever the computer says, You've got to finish better than the last place 421 00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.960 in your league to be able to play in the postseason. I'm really upset 422 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.759 by this that every SEC team I hear. Yeah, it's valid, that's 423 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:23.279 a valid criticism. You're not the only person I've heard share that frustration. 424 00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:27.519 But you know, there's all the numbers and the selection committee and all the 425 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:33.079 stuff that you're talking about. The one thing that helped that was that we 426 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:38.160 have all of the automatic qualifiers and the conference tournaments championships, and there weren't 427 00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:44.759 any quote unquote stolen bids, if you will. So like the favorite going 428 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.839 into the tournament this year, almost I think maybe one, but almost every 429 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.400 favorite won their tournament. So you usually you'll see this in like mid majors 430 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:59.480 or maybe even the Big ten or Big twelve or ACC where you have a 431 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:04.400 team that makes a run like NC State last of Men's March Madness right where 432 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:07.519 they don't expect to win the tournament or even be in the tournament, but 433 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:11.920 then you win your conference tournament. Well, that didn't happen in our sport. 434 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.240 All the favorites won and so there weren't any you know, bubble teams 435 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.359 that you know, got left off. They all got in. So yeah, 436 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.920 it's a valid criticism. No, I hear you. I mean, 437 00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.680 I'm just saying. I mean, there should be a rule if you're in 438 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.319 the bottom three of your league, whatever league it is, you can't get 439 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.359 in and somebody else should get in. I don't care who it is, 440 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:38.079 you know, whether it's from a smaller conference, you know, whatever it 441 00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.559 is. But I'm sorry, you just can't. And it had a decent 442 00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:51.200 record though, I mean old, I don't care they finished last. I'm 443 00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.839 upset by this, Kenzie, I'm upset. I'm here for it. Bring 444 00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.359 the passion, you know, that's how things could change. You got to 445 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:02.200 put your your grievances out there. I'm like, holy cow, all right, 446 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:06.279 Okay, I got it out. I got it out. It's it's 447 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:07.880 a second day in a row that I that I've that I vented like this. 448 00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:12.240 But you know all this, as you said, you know we're heading 449 00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:16.400 towards the College World Series. You've got super Regionals next week. It's fun. 450 00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:21.559 This tournament has It's just become such a thing now, and not just 451 00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.279 because we're here in Tucson and Arizona was in it is in it every year. 452 00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:29.160 It's become a thing. All over the country and and you know, 453 00:32:29.200 --> 00:32:32.559 girls are playing softball all over the place. It's great. You know, 454 00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:37.720 it's it's a great spectator sport. It's fast, the games don't last four 455 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:42.279 hours. It's a lot of fun, and it seems to get bigger and 456 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.240 better every year. Do you agree with that? I do? And you 457 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.359 know, I'll make a plug for our coverage this weekend. If you don't 458 00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.240 really know where to start, first to turn on ESPN, because there's probably 459 00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:58.400 be some sort of softball on one of the networks. But if you don't 460 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.559 know where to start and you want to kind of take it all in a 461 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.559 little bit, there's a really cool platform that they have on ESPN Plus called 462 00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:08.240 seven Innings Live, and it's the whip around. So when you have sixty 463 00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:12.880 four teams and you have one hundred and twelve games that are going on in 464 00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:15.359 front of us in three days, you got to figure out how you can 465 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:19.160 see all the good highlights. Well, that's a really good place to start. 466 00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:23.000 They have coverage from sun up to sundown, and they'll jump into when 467 00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:27.480 a team has bases loaded or a team's about to walk it off, like 468 00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.200 the big moments. It's kind of our red zone, right, So it's 469 00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:31.240 kind of like that half a red zone. You know, I'll put a 470 00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.559 plug for that if you want to get into it. I think that's a 471 00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:37.319 really good place to start. Yeah, I didn't know. Well, you 472 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.119 know, these days, especially as Arizona heads to the pack Big twelve, 473 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:46.000 you're going to need to get ESPN plus a subscription to that because that's where 474 00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:49.759 stuff is going to be. All the games that you see on PAC twelve 475 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.839 network, softball games, baseball, some of the other sports. That's where 476 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.839 you can find them. And they have a big part of the I'm looking 477 00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.880 through the schedule here, a big part of the the the tournament, all 478 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:04.680 the regionals on there. So yeah, that's where you got to go, 479 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:08.519 Kenzie. Uh, Safe Travels will look for you at the Stanford Regional. 480 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:13.960 Appreciate the time today, And oh, I guess I should mention this. 481 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:19.400 And you paid attention to your CDO softball team made it to the state championship 482 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:23.440 but did quite get there. Well you know, I mean, look, 483 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.960 I give you give your school some profits because they did get there. Right. 484 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.239 Yeah, anytime you can make your high school safe championship, that's such 485 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:35.559 a big deal, right, So yeah, they had such a good season, 486 00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:38.800 fall short in the last game, but yeah, they're continuing to be 487 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:43.920 strong. Like talk about softball and Tucson. It was strong when I played, 488 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:45.679 and it's so strong now. Well, you were a big part of 489 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:49.559 softball. Yeah, you're You're a big part of making it what it is. 490 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.440 So Kensie, thanks, thanks a whole bunch.

Kensey Fowler, one of the great pitchers at Arizona. 547 00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:07.800 Oh, she was a great personality. Yeah, yeah, she does. 548 00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:10.960 And she does a nice job with the with the broadcast. So she'll 549 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:15.559 be at the Stanford Regional.

Most likely if they win, they'll take on 551 00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:25.119 Arkansas the host on Saturday. So we'll see how all that goes. But 552 00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.280 all that stuff's getting going. Arizona in its last PAC twelve series here this 553 00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.800 weekend. You know, I start, I mean I remember going to the 554 00:39:35.840 --> 00:39:37.880 games when they were in the whack, right, I mean I was in 555 00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.920 you know, elementary school, teenager. Then they got to the Big twelve. 556 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:45.199 Now so in U C. L a USC they're all coming to town. 557 00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:46.880 They had the six pack, the pack, well, the PAC twelfth 558 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:51.519 Southern Division was what it really was called, but we used to call it 559 00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:53.920 the six pack because there were six teams in the pack and they were the 560 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:58.719 Bay Area schools. The LA schools, the Arizona schools such a great time. 561 00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:02.719 Those games were were incredible. The atmosphere at Sanset Field on campus. 562 00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.920 For those of you who are newcomers to us, the Sanset Field was where 563 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:12.159 the foot indoor football practice facility is. That's what the baseball field was. 564 00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:15.639 Did you know that, right, That's where we would go, you know, 565 00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:19.480 and it was right on campus, so you know, you could get 566 00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.719 out of class go catch a game. Uh, you know, it kind 567 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:29.280 of got outdated concessions and all that kind of stuff, and you couldn't serve 568 00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:32.920 beer there and all that type of stuff. Greg Burn and his administration got 569 00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.480 the greatest, one of the best moves they've ever made in any sport was 570 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:38.840 to move baseball out to High Corbett Field. I know a lot of people 571 00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:42.599 thought, well, it's off campus, you're going to lose the ambyance. 572 00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:45.719 Well, this has the ambyonce. It's even though it's a pro stadium, 573 00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:50.679 it's a college field to it because it's Arizona and people go out there for 574 00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:58.000 that, right right. So yeah, and so it did work. They've 575 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:02.880 been leading in attendance. You know, I be surprised with how Arizona has 576 00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:07.280 been publicized. In this series, we've had Chip Hale on, we have 577 00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.679 Brian Jefferies today. I would hope that at least five thousand at these games 578 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:15.840 this weekend. Which what did he say we needed fifty said they needed twelve 579 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:20.159 twelve for the three game series to lead the league in attendance. Again that 580 00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.199 first day in the game Saturday, Thursday through Saturday, six o'clock. It's 581 00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:25.960 a great time. You know. I don't know if I've gone to any 582 00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.199 games this year you've gone, but you sold me. Ony. It's a 583 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:31.760 blast, it's a it's a lot of fun. You go, right, 584 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:36.159 you said, Ryan, I went to went to a couple of games at 585 00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.719 the beginning of the season. They were struggling a little bit. Yeah. 586 00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:45.559 I kept up with them like a big winning streak. Yeah, sure, 587 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.480 you know, but it's you know, you go to these games and it's 588 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:53.920 you know, the thing that I remember about going to Sansettfield is it could 589 00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:57.400 be a three and a half or four hour game. You're sitting in these 590 00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:00.320 hard bleachers. There's no shade, you know, you think about it. 591 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:02.920 Back then it was uncomfortable, and now we went and we did it. 592 00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:07.039 We stood it because the team was good, and you followed the team. 593 00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:12.920 But the comfort of High Corbett Field. So the old senset was on fifth 594 00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:20.679 east of the it was across the street from McHale. Okay, So across 595 00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.960 the street south of McHale. You know you've got the you've got the the 596 00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:30.760 academic center there, you've got the the practice football facility, the indoor, 597 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:35.360 and then the grass field next to it. That it was on that corner 598 00:42:35.519 --> 00:42:43.280 facing south east okay. Okay, So it faced uh beyond right, beyond 599 00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.400 left, beyond the left field fence. Looking out of the left field, 600 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:49.719 you were looking out on Campbell Okay. On the right, in the right 601 00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.559 field fence, you were looking out on sixth Street, Okay. So it 602 00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:57.760 faced south and east. So center field was the intersection. I think that's 603 00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:04.239 either Martin or Warren in sixth Street. That that was center field. And 604 00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:06.840 and that's you know, and it was there for one hundred years. I 605 00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.280 mean, when I started going to those games, it was bleachers. It 606 00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:14.000 was just bleachered like high school bleachers. And that's when you know, if 607 00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:16.840 they knew the ASU series every year that played at High Corbett Field, and 608 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:20.920 it was a big deal, you know, eight nine thousand people would go 609 00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:23.280 to that game. They had people sitting out in the warning track, you 610 00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:27.760 know, and if the ball went into the into the into the crowd sitting 611 00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.960 around the warning track, it was the ground will double. So a guy 612 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.679 had to cut it off, you know, to keep it from being that 613 00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:37.280 they sit along in the grass. And he did the same thing at Sanset. 614 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:39.360 So a lot of great a lot of great times with that. And 615 00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:43.719 then again, you know, they got the bright idea to to move this 616 00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:47.519 and the stadium stayed up for a while because they made the grass. They 617 00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:53.719 made the field just an all grass field and uh and you know that was 618 00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:58.440 where football practice. And then they knocked down the stadium and built the indoor 619 00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:02.199 practice facility. They as well as that academic center, the Jenny Clements Academic 620 00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:06.599 Center across the street from macad that's what it was. Yeah, it's a 621 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:09.320 great space now. And and again allowed them to build that indoor facility, 622 00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:14.400 which is you know, you know for recruiting and all those things that it's 623 00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:16.119 a you know, it's a great thing. It's a great thing for them 624 00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:20.360 to have some of the u of a guys, let's talk about let's go 625 00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:23.039 back and back in time. Who you know, we're talking about cards and 626 00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:25.400 things like that. A guy like Trevor Hoffman, he's in the Hall of 627 00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:30.719 Fame. He was a leader. Yeah, I know. I think Mariano 628 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:37.920 Marin all time saves, but Hoffman's in the Hall of Fame. Those guys 629 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:42.639 have some value. They have card, but you got to have almost a 630 00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:45.239 sentimental attemental like we talked about it, regional value here, you know. 631 00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:52.320 Yeah, Okay, an athlete that has the most valuable piece of memorability, 632 00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.800 whether it's a card or a jersey or any sport. For Arizona, Arizona 633 00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:02.440 a lot. Okay, Yeah, green Kowski's still up there. That's a 634 00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:07.039 good question that that is a good Steve Kerr. Steve Kerr not a lot, 635 00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:09.039 not as much as you would think, yeah, because I mean he's 636 00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:12.760 a good player, not a great player, not a great But as in 637 00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.840 coaches, even more of the most recent like Ben Mathern has way more value 638 00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:20.679 than Steve Kerr, Sean Elliott or any of the older players. Is that 639 00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:23.840 because he's just more recent and people they're more recent. Absolutely, you know, 640 00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:27.880 once they're done, people forget, you know, once you retire, 641 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:30.800 Even Derek Jeter, you know when he tired a couple of years later. 642 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:35.480 People are not buying it stuff, So it's just yeah, yeah, interesting 643 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:38.440 because you're out of sight, out of mind. Yeah yeah, it's okay. 644 00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:43.880 So right now, you know, they really haven't had a basketball player 645 00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:46.360 that's jumped out outside of mathrom Right, it's been a while since they've had 646 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:51.880 somebody that's really kind of made an impact. Yeah, man was the most 647 00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:55.000 recent. He was a number six overall draft. So and this year we 648 00:45:55.159 --> 00:46:00.440 might not have any Yeah no, no football players have him along really since 649 00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:06.039 no, I mean since Gronk and our quarterback folds. Yeah, I mean 650 00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:07.679 he'd beat Tom Brady in the Super Bowl. Yeah, so that that was 651 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:10.599 pretty big, and he were asking on his stuff. We sold a lot 652 00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:15.320 of his you know, but that was tremendous. Okay, And and he's 653 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:21.360 still a backup somewhere. Yeah. Well maybe maybe I don't know he's gonna 654 00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:22.639 I don't think he got he's gonna get in the camp this year. I 655 00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:27.679 don't think so. Yeah, But okay, and interesting, So maybe Gronk 656 00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:30.920 is the sort of the most pop I think so. Still it's still and 657 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:35.440 one thing he always talks about Arizona. No matter what he always puts a 658 00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:37.599 Zona people. You know, he was just on the on the Tom Brady 659 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.880 Rose and they're you know, they're clowning on him. In terms of college 660 00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:45.920 athletes, though, how much of a market is there for for college athletes? 661 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.599 Guys were still in college, right, say Caleb Williams, Uh, 662 00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:52.719 you know some of these guys were top draft picks. Now it's huge. 663 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.159 It wasn't. Oh yeah, now they have cards, Now it's huge. 664 00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:59.920 With the NOL agreements, it's it is big time. It is you know, 665 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:05.800 a bigger than others or or is it just depend on the guy footballs 666 00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:09.519 the biggest Yeah, yeah, yep, well kind of I mean that even 667 00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:15.639 over overcomes basketball. Yeah, Caleb Williams card, you know something like that. 668 00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:21.400 Who else is in that neighborhood in terms of value coming out of college 669 00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:25.639 right now? Well, we had six six quarterbacks drapped in the in top 670 00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:29.159 ten, I really, you know, or the first round, first one. 671 00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:30.719 Well, six quarterbacks in the first twelve picks, in the first of 672 00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:34.519 twelve picks, which is the most average. So all of them, all 673 00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:37.719 their cards are you know, doing tremendous right now, every single one, 674 00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:42.280 and so what I can't believe it? Or not Caitlin Clark still out sells 675 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.679 them. Really yes, interesting, maybe not Caleb Williams as far as like 676 00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:50.960 autographic cards, but more than the other ones. But those guys, so 677 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.920 you know, they're at a certain value right now. Now we've got to 678 00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:57.320 see how they play. Yes, right, of course, let's say bon 679 00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:00.159 Nicks falls flat on his face and stuff. If you buy one of his 680 00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:01.440 cards, well, good lucky, yeah, put it in, put it 681 00:48:01.519 --> 00:48:06.599 in the box and right, oh yeah, yeah, okay, said guy 682 00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:09.199 like Joe Burrow, right, came out when the Heisman Trophy, he's been 683 00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:13.400 to a super Bowl. What's a guy like, what's a guy like that 684 00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:15.480 to bring? He was? He was huge. I mean he had a 685 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:23.519 huge National championship LSU over Clemson over Lawrence, uh Trevor Lawrence Lawrence. Yep, 686 00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:27.159 that was big. And then he performed well in the pros. So 687 00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:29.760 that's as big as it gets. He kind of stays steady. Oh yeah, 688 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:31.679 he's one of those cards so high, they so well, they so 689 00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:36.400 hot. Yeah when you say hi, depending on what does it depends on 690 00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.599 the card? The brand card? Yeah? Absolutely, you know you can 691 00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:42.880 have a card that we might think it's five hundred dollars as high, but 692 00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:46.199 in card terms, it could be a fifteen thousand dollars card. Whoa yeah 693 00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:51.400 uh a wem Beat card, Wemby yam my card that just came out. 694 00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:54.719 It's called the Kaboom. It's an insert. It's a regular standard insert card, 695 00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:59.320 one per case. But if you get wembyt you know, recently sold 696 00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:01.639 for twenty three thousand. To me, that baffles me. That card should 697 00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:06.239 be maybe five thousand, four thousand, but it went for twenty three somebody 698 00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:10.199 paid twenty three thousand four And that just happened this week. Wow, even 699 00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:14.239 with that bad commercial that he made. And it's not numbers, so it's 700 00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:19.440 not I don't know how rare it is. Yeah yeah, wow, okay, 701 00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:23.920 wow when Bayama, Yeah, bringing the Bucks, bringing the Bucks man, 702 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.239 Oh man, that's crazy. Yeah yeah. And there's there's Connor Dart 703 00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.119 the hockey player. He's doing tremendous or he did tremendous. You know. 704 00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:38.320 He was the number one overall pick for the for Chicago Blackhawks and we just 705 00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:44.400 sold a ton of his stuff and it it actually carried the hockey market more 706 00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:46.960 than it has in decades, does it? Going? Spurts is going run 707 00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:50.679 yeah. Yeah, people buy hockey for a while, then they go buy 708 00:49:50.679 --> 00:49:53.400 baseball for a while. Is it because usually itsant season? Yes, Okay, 709 00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:58.480 that makes sense. It makes sense. All right, all right, 710 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:02.920 let's take this call higher on the air and nine on the ball. Hey, 711 00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:07.760 I had a question about the Drew Jones card that just got released. 712 00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:12.840 Came out like last year and they were everyone was freaking out about it. 713 00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:15.920 It's gonna be the number one card worth like a million dollars and now he's 714 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:19.400 looking like you're going to get out of low way. Yeah, and that's 715 00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.199 what happens too, you know, like one year it could be tremendous and 716 00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:27.360 right now it's still in cruise. He was the the number one or number 717 00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:30.719 two overall pick and everyone's going crazy on his cards and he's really not doing 718 00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:34.800 that good in the in the minors. But the same thing with Drew Jones 719 00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:37.400 from Arizona. He was the number two overall draft last year. People were 720 00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:42.320 playing crazy money on his cards and now they're I mean people got hurt on 721 00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:45.280 those. Wow, I just put it that way.

They just set bounties on these. 727 00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:09.760 The Dylan cruise bounty was recently set at two hundred thousand. Someone pulled 728 00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:16.559 it and he didn't take it. Wow. Interesting, All right, thank 729 00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:23.639 you for the call.
