6
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.039
so we do have some breaking news
this Thursday related to Tucson, specifically

7
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.200
guys. Eric Rodgers, the South
Point football head coach who's led the team

8
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.320
to the playoffs the last four years, has left his position as the head

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.759
football coach. He cleaned out his
office Tuesday. Our friend Javier Morales said,

10
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.799
right right, No, you come
up. You you kind of rouse

11
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.039
your eyebrows when it happened when you
saw well, you know, it seems

12
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.240
sudden, right, you know,
and it's just how the story's written.

13
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:57.359
Yes, it seems odd. I
mean, is there something going on?

14
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.960
Is that you know? No,
I don't know who had an eight clean

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.640
that this was about to happen.
He's been successful, right, He's got

16
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.879
him to the playoffs. You can't
he's been to a state championship in a

17
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.400
state semi final game. I don't
know if certainly the state semi final game.

18
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.640
Uh, they got to the semis
in six A this year. One

19
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.480
of the more successful teams in the
city against good team right at at what

20
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.040
in the in you know, at
the top of the food chain for for

21
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.159
a high school football in Arizona.
I mean it's kind of stunning, right,

22
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.079
No, No, it is with
quality, quality players. Obviously he

23
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:36.159
took over for tennis benet. Yeah, and nothing's really dropped off. Yeah.

24
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.439
And then the way I guess,
I guess it catches my when Javier

25
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.319
says he cleaned out his office,
it's like it implies it. Well,

26
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.480
that and then he didn't respond to
and right, well, and there was

27
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:48.959
a statement issued. Let me see
if I okay, if I have that,

28
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.959
I didn't see the Yeah, South
Point issued a statement. South Point

29
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.319
Catholic High School is grateful to coach
Eric Rodgers, was for success, for

30
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.319
successful seasons and the Lancer's head varsity
football coach. He's impressive record at Southpoint

31
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.000
includes two six A state quarterfinalists,
five A state runner up in five A

32
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:12.159
state quarterfinal rankings. South Point appreciates
coach Rodgers' leadership and commitment to the Lancers.

33
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.080
We wish him the best, the
very best in his future endeavors.

34
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.159
Now, maybe he's getting the college
job or something. Who knows what it

35
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.599
is, but it's kind of sudden, I would And maybe if he's not

36
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.560
responding it, maybe he is getting
a job but he can't say anything.

37
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.879
Maybe, yeah, a lot.
We can sit here expecting it all day.

38
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.039
It just seems rather sudden. But
this is the hiring period four coaches

39
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:35.240
and stuff like that, So maybe
there's something there and we'll hear from him

40
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.919
later. I don't know, but
very sudden. And the guy who's been

41
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.960
very successful. Yeah, like you
guys said, he did reach that five

42
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.479
A state championship game in twenty twenty
one. Yeah the year. Yeah,

43
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.120
but yeah, that is shocking news
coming out of solid Point. We have

44
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.879
someras more Arizona football news, the
University of Arizona football news this time.

45
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:59.639
And Noah Flafida has been names the
Athletics twenty twenty three Freshman All America Team.

46
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.159
Yeah again, a guy who didn't
play for the first four games.

47
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.719
But you know he's gonna be in
the conversation for a lot of things,

48
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:12.800
both of him and especially when you
think of the quarterbacks who are all leaving,

49
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.199
well they're going to the Big twelve
anyways. But you know, but

50
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.960
you know, Panics is gone,
Nicks is gone. Uh, J Daniels,

51
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.159
Jayden Daniels. He's a senior,
a bunch of you know, a

52
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.879
bunch of the top quarter Then there's
other quarterbacks moving around. Caleb Williams,

53
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.800
you know, gone, Uh,
there's gonna be some room. The thing

54
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:37.159
about it with with Fafido and then
you can argue with me or tell me

55
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.439
the full of it is he's not
spectacular because what does he do well?

56
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:44.680
He's just good. He just win
And guess what you need from a quarterback

57
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.120
being just good and wins? What
a Troy Man. He wasn't a fantastic

58
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.360
arm He was just a smart dude
who got the ball to the right people.

59
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:57.000
Even in the NFL, nobody saw
him as like a spectacular quarterback.

60
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.800
But they won some super Bowls.
They were really good. He was really

61
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:01.800
good. Guys in the Hall of
Fame. Yeah, I compared him to

62
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.240
Rock pretty earlier this season. I
think that's continuing to look good for myself.

63
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.000
Was Rock pretty So what do you
need from a quarterback? But that

64
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.319
and if you look up rock pretty
highlights. Unless you're like a football nerd,

65
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.480
you're probably not blown away, sure
by anything. He was the last

66
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:19.439
dude take it was. Yeah,
that's the whole thing. Mister irrelevant going

67
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.360
to be well, he's not that
anymore. Yeah, exactly, he's pretty

68
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:28.399
relevant. Wendel Moe, a guard, also made that All Freshman team lists

69
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:33.959
for the Wildcats as well, and
then t mac was was named a finalist

70
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.639
for the twenty twenty three Polynesian College
Football Player of the Year award. Right

71
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.199
right, there's a Jed Was is
a finalist for something too. There was

72
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.519
the Coach Coach of the Year another
war. Yeah, this was named the

73
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.040
semi finalist for the George Munger Coach
of the Year Award by the f w

74
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:55.839
A A right, right, come
on. Over the last few years since

75
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:02.759
maybe Richard Richard Richard rich Rod are
thinking not too many spectacular moments or from

76
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.079
people we're mentioned in his later years
throughout some of the years. The last

77
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:13.000
two years. Now you're getting all
these getting and that's one of things that

78
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.639
Jed also talked about today is that
you know, he said, we're gonna

79
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.279
have a bunch of guys in the
NFL. And that's in the end,

80
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.839
that's kind of what players are looking
for. I mean money now too,

81
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.800
but you know, they they want
they want to know that they're going to

82
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.839
have an opportunity if they go somewhere
that you know somebody's going to prepare them

83
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:32.560
for the NFL. And that's what
I think has been one of the big

84
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.399
attractions with Fish and his staff.
A bunch of NFL guys, some college

85
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.519
guys, right, longtime college guys, but a bunch of NFL guys and

86
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.360
and and Jed creates that expectation for
them. He says, Look, we've

87
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.319
been to the NFL, We've all
been around. We know how to get

88
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.560
you there, and if you're good
enough to get there, you can get

89
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:53.399
there with us helping you out.
Yeah, and going hand in hand with

90
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.319
what you said about how fit kind
of matters. And we've talked a lot

91
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.319
this season about how recruiting as the
Nile change as you need to find guys

92
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.920
who want to fit with your team. Jason Sheer, I don't know if

93
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.040
he was the first to report this, this is where I'm getting from him

94
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.319
today that one of our safety's cruise
rushing who's the brother of Eliza Rushing is

95
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.879
also entering the transfer total. Who
yeah, because you want to find where

96
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.680
you ever you want to fit in, right, get in where you fit

97
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:24.040
in. And then some fun news. The Pride of Arizona our marching band,

98
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.759
has received the Subtler Trophy, which
is presented by the John Phillips SUSSA

99
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.000
Foundation. It's viewed as the Heisman
Trophy of the collegiate band world. So

100
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.160
the Wildcats good on the field and
good on the field at halftime too,

101
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.920
So it's it's a fun little award
uh being given out to the Pride of

102
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.879
Arizona. Yeah, fully they could
get a band entrance before the game.

103
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:55.480
Seriously, and what the hell you
on time? Band camp. Jay's favorite

104
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.360
quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, has returned
to practice after his his ankle injury the

105
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.000
other night, And I saw that
he had stated that he felt lucky that

106
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.480
the injury was not worse and that
he's feeling okay and able to get back

107
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.360
to practice. J do you have
any thoughts on the severity of that injury

108
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:19.040
this weekend? All indications point to
maybe that's what I mean, That's what

109
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.439
I would say, because he was
maybe he was pretty noncommittal. He was

110
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.959
noncommittal about it. Uh, he's
trained his left knee a couple of weeks

111
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:29.879
ago, and they were kind of
saying the same thing like, well,

112
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.199
he might play, he might not
play. He feels good, he'll play.

113
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.279
I had to go out and pick
up Gardner Minshew to be my quarterback.

114
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:41.199
But he's doing really well a football
player. Well, that's why I

115
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.480
picked him up. He was the
fact that he's available means nobody thinks much

116
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.480
of it. But he's winning and
he's he's he's a brock party of whatever.

117
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.600
Shane Stychen. Actually he is getting
a lot of love for that's their

118
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:56.120
head coach. He's he's getting a
lot of love for possibly Coach of the

119
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:00.519
Year votes as well, like the
Colts because of what you can kill many

120
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:07.360
moan jacket I did. I had
no idea was talking. Is that to

121
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.040
do that? The corner here a
pretty yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

122
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.399
What's time between Princeton and Oracle and
Indy So yeah, but yeah, charl

123
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.319
Lawrence might may be returning to the
field this weekend. And then more news

124
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.519
out of Jacksonville. I know this
seems random, but there's an ex Jacksonville

125
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:31.639
Jaguars employee who allegedly sold over twenty
two million dollars from the virtual credit card

126
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.519
system that the Jaguars have. He
was using that money to buy cars,

127
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.559
bet on sports, and daily fantasy, and his lawyers come out and said

128
00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.000
that he has a serious gambling addiction. And that is what I want to

129
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.639
I want to know though, how
he was able to steal that much but

130
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.480
without anybody knowing that that that that
that was missing. I mean, you

131
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.080
know, you've got your own business, Steve. I got my own business,

132
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.960
yeah, and I know where every
he is, right, I mean,

133
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.799
how did I try to? But
how can you not know that twenty

134
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.320
two million dollars is missing from your
organization? Prask Arizona for the two hundred

135
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.919
and forty million, well, it
was a miscalculation that nobody took the money.

136
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.440
It was just they didn't do their
books right. This guy took money

137
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.240
from their you know, from their
coffers and and and did that. That's

138
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:26.360
great. Allegedly, that's crazy,
Yeah said that. It said that it

139
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.759
started as like a little small,
you know, throw a litt one hundred

140
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.720
dollars on a gamble here, you
know, a little there, and then

141
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.080
it kind of spirals out of control, and it says the losses were most

142
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.159
significant in the final months leading up
to the NFL's investigation. I'm getting that

143
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.399
from the Athletic uh So that the
NFL has been investigating this for months now

144
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.000
and we're just now getting to it. Speaking of big money in football,

145
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.159
Marvin Harrison Junior, I don't know
if you guys saw this is reportedly undecided

146
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.440
about returning to Ohio State or going
to the NFL Draft because he's allegedly receiving

147
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.679
offers for NIL deals that could possibly
rival his rookie contract in the league.

148
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.919
Crazy. What do you guys think
about that? Because I saw some discussion

149
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.480
talking about why would he not try
to get these endorsement deals in the NFL.

150
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.240
I want to know. I like
Doug Faff and Glenn Parker Field,

151
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.840
but we talked about right, you
know he was born to Yeah. Yeah.

152
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.960
And then last bit of news I'll
toss in here to you, J.

153
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.080
I know you're a big golf guy. John Rahm is leaving the PGA

154
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:26.279
Tour for Live golf and he thoughts
about that. I have three letters as

155
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.240
U. That's where he went to
school, and that's where that's where he

156
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.039
developed his character. No, you
know, in reality though, if they're

157
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.360
going to give him there's a lot
of things that would do for three hundred

158
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.159
four hundred million dollars, probably pretty
much most of anything except maybe kill a

159
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:52.639
guy. You know. Uh,
I see what it's. It's it's generational

160
00:10:52.120 --> 00:11:00.519
money for him and his family.
And I've never I've never really you know,

161
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.440
in terms of going for the money
and taking it. I've never really

162
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.000
criticized them for that. But I
always criticize those guys for was for not

163
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.559
saying it was about the money.
Yeah, right, for saying, I'm

164
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.279
going to try and make the game
of golf better. You want to be

165
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.080
right, bull bull crap, you
took you took it for the money,

166
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.159
and just say you took it for
the money. There were a couple of

167
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.200
golfers who did they said, you
know, I'm taking this money, you

168
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.919
know. But it's the guys who
say it's for something else. Those are

169
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.120
the guys that that I get,
you know, like Michelson, you know,

170
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.679
Phil Miokson who started the whole thing, say no, I you know,

171
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.039
I'm trying to make the game of
golf better. Shut up. You

172
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.919
had ae hundred million dollar gambling problem. And that's why you took it,

173
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.720
because you had to fix that,
and this was the opportunity to make everything

174
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.960
right. That's why you took it. Don't feed me the crap that you

175
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.440
know you were trying to do.
You know you had some benevolent action.

176
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.559
Yeah, exactly. You know you
needed the money, you took the money.

177
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.159
Just say it. Yeah. And
I did neglect to mention that the

178
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.440
Arizona Diamondbacks made a deal yesterday.
I don't know if you guys talked about

179
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.320
this. The Arizon Diamondbacks are in
agreement on a four year contract for twenty

180
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.559
million dollars a year with Eduardo Rodriguez
to bolster their starting rotation. I like

181
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.000
the so deal. I was gonna
bring that up next. Why because Won

182
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.840
SODA's on my fantasy baseball team.
I get to keep him for next year.

183
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.440
There you go, which finally means
he'll blow his knee out of April.

184
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.519
Go ahead. Was that one you're
gonna talk about? Yeah? I

185
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.240
was just gonna say that the Yankees
received out the other Wan Soto and Trent

186
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.840
Grisham for a slew of guys.
Did you see a report I have something

187
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.399
to a couple of quick things did
you see a report yesterday? I can't

188
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.639
remember where I was gonna send it
to you guess when you said, just

189
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.200
the one that you sent us on
the text about Verdugo Jason Bardugo. Yeah,

190
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.200
he's gone to the Yankee. Yeah, but how much of a pain

191
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.639
he is? Like, like,
oh that they got rid of he was

192
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.919
Boston. They were happy to get
rid of him because of pain. Oh

193
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:52.399
yeah. I was surprised about that
too, that he shows up late for

194
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.080
meetings, kind of lives on his
own mind and whatever. Wow. And

195
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.440
I thought that he would be traded
from use that to go to say Diego

196
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.600
because they have now they have a
bevy of the battlefielders, especially like him,

197
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.879
lefties. So I found that to
be strange. And I go ahead,

198
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.519
and if you have any more,
Yeah, there's one. There is

199
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.960
one last thing. While Steve looks
that up. Yeah, there was some

200
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.360
college basketball history made yesterday. Caitlin
Clark became the first player in D one

201
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.720
history, men's or women's and women's
to score a three thousand points, seven

202
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.120
hundred and fifty rebounds, and seven
hundred and fifty assists. She's fantastic.

203
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.960
She's fantastic. The Steph Curry of
women's basketball pretty much. Yeah. I

204
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.440
think she's one of those players where
you're tune in on TV and that's the

205
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.480
way she carries herself. You're like, oh, that's a star. I

206
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.200
don't know, I don't know what's
going on, but that's a story.

207
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:39.919
If you remember the Final four last
year when she was they were playing a

208
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.679
yellow shoe, it was like the
most watched women's basketball game ever because of

209
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.720
the what was going on too.
But she's fantastic. Okay. So I

210
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.039
saw this this morning or last night
I can't remember, on on ESPN dot

211
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.360
com, and this was a headline
on a college basketball story. With five

212
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:00.440
national championships in twenty five years,
is Yukon a blue blood? I saw

213
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.480
that as well, So Jay,
Yes, right, right right, they're

214
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.639
asking this question with five national titles
in twenty five years. Of course,

215
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:15.000
Arizona hasn't been to the Final four
in twenty three years and a final four

216
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:20.320
in ninety championship in ninety seven.
So just just to remind you, I

217
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.799
didn't say Yukon wasn't it was.
I'm comparing comparing apples to apples. I'm

218
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:31.759
just saying I still think Arizona is
he's delusional, he said, he's delusional.

219
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.279
So you did you see if there's
a big argument online whether or not

220
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.879
they were blue blood. No,
I don't think it was a question.

221
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.759
But come on five and twenty five. Of course they have to be men.

222
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.639
They're women's right. They're just not
an old school blue bread, right,

223
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.720
They're not an old blue blood like
a cancer, not navy blue blood.

224
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.799
Right. All right, let's take
a break. Glenn Parker coming up.

00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.480
former U of a football great Glynn
Parker. How are you doing, Glynn?

300
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.359
I'm fantastic. I'm thanks for having
me on. Great, great to

301
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.440
have you on. We want to
reminisce about the great these times that you

302
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.720
were here at you especially the Oklahoma
game. Does it seem so long ago?

303
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.160
You know, yes, it does. It does seem so long ago.

304
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.920
It's great. You know, you
see a highlight now and then you

305
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.000
relive it a little bit, you
know. And you know what people don't

306
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:41.039
remember is we went there the year
before. We went two of Fumban the

307
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.240
year before, and they were ranked
one and played them to a standstill.

308
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.039
And you know it was no surprise
to us that we beat him the next

309
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.440
year at our place. Well that's
a you know, we were talking to

310
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.640
Doug Faff last segment. He kind
of said the same thing because to me,

311
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:57.720
you know, as a fan,
you thought of Oklahoma, the mystique,

312
00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:02.079
the national championships, Barry Switzer and
all that, and you know,

313
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:04.319
now here's Arizona playing those guys.
You know, go back to the year

314
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.119
before. You know, when you
guys went up there. You know what's

315
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.799
going through your mind as you're walking
into the stadium where all this, you

316
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.319
know, college football history had happened. You know, I had been a

317
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.400
fan of college football, so of
course I you know, I was into

318
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.599
it. But on game day and
pregame, little mind is so locked in.

319
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.799
I didn't have time to think about
much other than one of our one

320
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:33.839
of our players who will come in
and out of the game, decided to

321
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.079
come in and tell our fans to
make some noise. And we were down

322
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.720
at the end of the horseshoe.
It wasn't it was open, and uh,

323
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:45.240
their stadium let loose, and we
couldn't hear ourselves think. After that.

324
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:47.000
I was like, thanks God,
dude, what are you thinking.

325
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:51.200
Don't don't poke the bear? What
the bear lie right right? What do

326
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.759
you remember most outside of the field
goal that Doug hit from that big game

327
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.240
in one year, you know,
it was just a game where we would

328
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.880
pound the ball on the ball,
pound the ball. Our defense was spot

329
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.359
on. Our defense people forget,
you know, when it comes to numbers,

330
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.799
the Desert Storm was a better defense. When it comes to players,

331
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.759
not even close to those years.
You know they that was Larry McDuff was

332
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:22.519
just fighting his footing as a coach
and instilling everything. But when we look

333
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.440
at that defense that we played in
eighty nine that we had you're talking about,

334
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:32.519
you know, had guys on the
d line what you know they played

335
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:36.960
in the NFL. You had dbs
like d Lou he had Chris and Kevin

336
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.319
Singleton. You had hammer Split.
I mean it was it was loaded and

337
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.480
they were so good. Now,
Donnie Salem, I did ever think that

338
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.440
that they shut down that offense?
It was they got three points. Let's

339
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.920
face it, nobody did that to
Oklahoma. So we just had to keep

340
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.920
pounding, not make the mistakes,
punk the ball away, let our defense

341
00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.200
play play the field position battle,
and that's how we knew we'd win.

342
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.160
But you know, people forget we
did have a long pass or a touchdown

343
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:11.960
called back on our left backle who
shall remain nameless. He's a friend and

344
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.480
uh and a former NFL player as
well, but he was young. It

345
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.480
was that was like one of the
first, you know, years, and

346
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:22.200
I don't even know if you had
started that year until that game. I

347
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.960
was sure, but uh, but
that's what I remember. It was just

348
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.039
a slog. We knew it was
gonna be, you know. I it's

349
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.160
funny because I was, Uh.
We had Doug faff on a while back,

350
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.440
and so I dug up the I
have the newspaper clipping from that game.

351
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:38.359
So I sent it to him and
then it was still in my computer

352
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:41.640
and I was looking at it.
We were making fun of the fact that

353
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.920
Doug kicks the game kicks the game
winner. But you were in my lead,

354
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.759
not him, and you and you
you know, and it's because the

355
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:51.880
quote you gave me. You talked
about how it was like a hard rock

356
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:53.279
minor, you know, and that
you just felt at some point it was

357
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.200
going to break, and it eventually
did for you guys, when you went

358
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.200
down and got that field goal.
But you know, do you, I

359
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.400
mean, do you have any any
kind of vivid memories of that last drive,

360
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.839
knowing we're driving down late in the
game to try and win this game,

361
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.359
and what was going through your mind
and what was going on in the

362
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.680
huddle. You know, in the
huddle we were very we're downed in listening

363
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:17.680
to the QB getting our plays,
but we were as a group, we

364
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:18.559
were like, let's go. This
is it. This has got to be

365
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:23.559
the one. And our running backs
got extra yardage every time they were asked

366
00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.119
to, you know, uh,
other than being stopped just dead, they

367
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:32.319
managed to always fall forward, get
us a little more. Quarterback made great

368
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:33.920
decisions with the ball, and there's
a line. We know we did what

369
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.680
we had to do. And I
remember think, okay, this is a

370
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.279
pretty long kick, but we I
think we got a chance at this.

371
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.880
And we huddle up and I looked
right at Doug pav I said, Doug,

372
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.200
you make this. And every girl
on campus is to spend the time

373
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:56.319
with you tonight. The heartache,
the motivation, no one's ever said ever.

374
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.640
It didn't hurt that he's a blood
here, good looking, your time

375
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:10.440
in Tucson. Obviously you came from
the JC, had this great career after

376
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.000
not really haven't played much of football, right, can you think that this

377
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.359
game? What are the games kind
of really stand out? Well? You

378
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:19.920
know for me coming in, like, you know, my first year,

379
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.200
I would say the Oregon State game. That was the first time I ever

380
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.599
played on turf and it was our
first game of the year. So I,

381
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.319
you know, I had to see
if I could you know, even

382
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:33.039
though I'd come from a JAC and
I was starting, could I actually play

383
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:34.680
at this level? And I had
a good game. I'd played at Oklahoma

384
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:41.640
game in Oklahoma, the U c
l A game are Are eighty nine where

385
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.720
they came in and it was hotter
than blazes on the field. It was

386
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.799
an ABC mid day kick and I
think it was it was well over one

387
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.119
hundred degrees on that on that grass
field and U c l A. Melton

388
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:59.920
we had come off a bye and
we put in the eyebone in that or

389
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.400
at least parts of the eyebone for
that week and we ended up beating them

390
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.839
like forty five days six or something
crazy, and they were a very good

391
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.440
UCLA team. And we took it
to him that that was the that's the

392
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:17.920
yeah, that's the way. Yeah, David Aldredge uh and and that and

393
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:19.359
just and it just started from the
get go. He had a long run

394
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.000
like on the first drive, that's
what we were not allowed to talk about.

395
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.359
But he had a touchdown run on
an option to the left side on

396
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:33.319
our sideline that was probably a forty
yard or for a touchdown. Yeah,

397
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.240
well we we were Jay and I
covered the team back then. I don't

398
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:38.960
know if we were not allowed to
write about what was going on in practice

399
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:42.920
or whatever. But you surprised Ucilly
with the format, with the with the

400
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:47.960
offensive situation. Uh what were you
guys thinking when you guys changed it up

401
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.839
on them that week? Well,
you know, it didn't change a lot

402
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:56.240
for many people. It really was
more formational and and the way we you

403
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.240
know, we ran a lot of
the same offense. We threw the ball

404
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.359
a little better out of it.
But what we did with it is we

405
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.240
got bigger splits instead of anything like
a two foots but we went to like

406
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.039
a one yard or even bigger split. We really split them out, making

407
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:17.279
their guys have to really run with
us, and then we would the eyebone.

408
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:21.680
You you allow that middle guy or
even the back guy to motion and

409
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:25.319
you get him. So you can
line up strong one way and motion strong

410
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:29.599
the other, just by your your
running backs. And it greats havoc for

411
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.559
a defense. And uh, at
least for them, so they had not

412
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.079
maybe not think we're going to do
it right and uh, but for us

413
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.200
up front, a lot didn't not
a lot change for us. It was

414
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.759
pretty much the same rules we always
had. Well, you know, you

415
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.000
talked about that guy who shall remain
nameless, and you know, I think

416
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.079
there's been a lot of comparisons,
you know, this year to that,

417
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.960
you know, that offensive line with
what this offensive line has been doing this

418
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:57.039
year. You look over the years, you haven't been able to talk about

419
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:02.519
Arizona's offensive or defensive line with the
exception of a couple of years. Do

420
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.079
you see that in the in the
offensive line that they've got this year.

421
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.240
Yes. I watched Morgan in high
school and I coached against him, and

422
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.519
I told him afterwards, I said, you just keep going and you're gonna

423
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.359
you know you've got it, you
really do. And I've watched him all

424
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.799
year. I mean, he would
have been a first rounder last year.

425
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:26.599
He's gonna be a first rounder this
year. I would say this though,

426
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.839
the only shortcoming he has, and
I think if he had this, he

427
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:34.839
would be a top ten pick.
If he needs to learn how to go

428
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:41.119
out and be mean. Yeah,
And it's a problem for all offense.

429
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.680
It's not just him, it's every
offensive and defensive lineman just about in football

430
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:48.640
these days, because in the last
twenty five or thirty years, boys are

431
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.400
told don't be a bully, don't
hit anybody, don't be toxic, don't

432
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:57.160
do this well that you know.
It's hard to train that out of someone.

433
00:28:57.759 --> 00:29:02.359
So he's techniquely wise, he's ten
times better than I ever was.

434
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.799
He's got the long arms, great
seat, he's he's a thinner and twenty

435
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:11.319
partner looks at you's two hundred sixty
pounds and the kid is just phenomenal.

436
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.599
I'd just like to see a little
dog in him, man. I'd like

437
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.839
to see it get out there and
when he's not a guy, you know,

438
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.759
on the on his heels, put
him on his butt. That's what

439
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.039
I'd like. But that's me.
I can ripe a little bit. You're

440
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.519
gonna be a top pick and he's
gonna have a long crib. Knowing you

441
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:30.960
as long as they've known you.
You're not a dog, You're a nice

442
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:38.119
You're a wine cuer. Hey when
you when you cross that stripe, the

443
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:45.880
cabernet red, sir, I can't
remember what you're doing at You have a

444
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.880
like development? Is that right?
I'm not, I'm not. I do

445
00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:56.000
outreach and engagement, Okay. Foundation
do a lot with our alumnis all over

446
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.759
the all over the country, particularly
the West coast. But now you know,

447
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.000
with go to the Big twelve,
I'm going to search out see who

448
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.599
we have in Louisville and Morgantown and
some of these other places. That's where

449
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.519
I wanted to go with it because
I'm sure that the success of the program,

450
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.480
the football program and the basketball program, now, uh you know as

451
00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:19.000
such that it is must be helping
you a little. Well. I think

452
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.759
you know, when you have successful
for sports teams, you always have better

453
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.119
engagement from your alums. Now and
there, and and let's not forget there,

454
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:33.200
actually is a thing called the Flutey
effect and study. Remember Doug flute

455
00:30:33.519 --> 00:30:37.519
touchdown, passed well and won the
Heisman World That next year, Florida State

456
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.759
saw an absolute search in application.
Now, remember, applications costs money.

457
00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:47.359
So when we knew, and then
of course alums love coming back. They

458
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:51.000
become more engaged. They want to
be around the programs, and it doesn't

459
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:55.759
matter what they majored in. But
one thing every student has has in common

460
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.880
on that campus when they're there is
they watch the basketball team. They watched

461
00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:04.759
the football team. They they that's
where they That's the one common ground the

462
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:10.920
engineering major has the sociology major with
the athlete. You know, they watch

463
00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:14.839
the sports. And so when sports
are better, when your teams are better,

464
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.079
particularly your your big two, it's
going to help the engagement from the

465
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:23.640
alumni and also the applications from people
who want to go there because they see

466
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:26.559
the atmosphere and say that looks great, I want to go there. And

467
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.160
as you said, you know,
there's probably not a better time than you

468
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.400
know what, Arizona's guy right now
the number one team in the country and

469
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.839
then a ranked a ranked football team. But when you when you when you

470
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:38.960
kind of see that, I mean
you got to kind of just lick your

471
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:41.720
chops and say, you know,
I got some stuff to work with here.

472
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:47.920
Well, I think it's always it's
always good to have it, you

473
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.759
know, But in my world,
I like I love to engage with our

474
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:56.640
alumni. Right. I learned so
much about campus from them, you know,

475
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.480
because you know, it's one thing
when you're at school, you know

476
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:01.960
your job. Like you you're okay, you're a journalism major, right,

477
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:06.960
you know the school of journalism,
you know your area. You really don't

478
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.359
know a lot about what goes on
around campus otherwise, and this job has

479
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:16.839
given me the opportunity to really see
the I mean, wow, some of

480
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:20.680
the things going on. You're like, holy cow, we do that.

481
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:23.160
That's pretty cool, you know.
And then you go go and watch them,

482
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:27.799
you know, uh, make put
a new lens for a telescope out

483
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:30.039
there and pour that glass and all
that, and that's amazing. And then

484
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:36.759
you see the art museums and the
photography museums and blown away by the scope,

485
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.720
not you know, not only the
depth, but also that that breadth

486
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:45.920
of of what goes on on a
campus and the impacting only has Yeah,

487
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:49.079
yeah, no, no, it's
great. Okay, I think that might

488
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:51.440
do it. Anything else about the
Oklahoma game, now, what do you

489
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.799
think? What do you think about
this this Bowl game coming up? Go

490
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:59.480
Cats, baby, They're gonna struggle. I think they're gonna struggle with I

491
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.599
don't not cats. I think we're
gonna be fine there. Their quarterbacks entered

492
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:07.400
the portal, I think, I
think our running backs. I love Coltman

493
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:09.880
and I love Wiley. And by
the way, Wiley is a perfect example

494
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:15.799
of why you do not get into
portal. He has worked his tail off

495
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.480
and played a little bit every year
and more and more, and the guy

496
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.440
has just a stud I love him. And you know, the grass isn't

497
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:25.160
always greener. I don't you know
the portal isn't always the best thing in

498
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:31.839
the little like these kids think it
is. And I think that we if

499
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:37.319
we can befuddle their quarterback a little
bit and get a little pressure on them,

500
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:39.000
I think we got a great chance
in this game. I don't know

501
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:43.720
that they can handle our wide receivers
and our running game together. I'm not

502
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:45.960
sure they can do that. They're
used to seeing great passing game game,

503
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:50.680
but they're not great. They're not
used to singing offensive lines like they're gonna

504
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.880
see and a tight end like they're
gonna see. They don't see tight ends

505
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.799
in the Big twelve. Yeah,
let me ask you. We have about

506
00:33:55.799 --> 00:34:00.079
a minute left. I think you
go to see the practices every now and

507
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.640
again, or you're you're engaged a
little with it, with the program.

508
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:06.400
The job that Jed Fish has done, and I'm not talking even more on

509
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.320
the football field, but away from
it with guys like you, the NFL

510
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:13.480
guys that he brings in to speak
about the futures and things like that.

511
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:16.159
To me, that's very impressive.
Yeah, it is. And you know,

512
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.719
I'll go back to the very first
meeting he had with us Viaz he

513
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.519
said, we're you know, the
question of ask are you gonna bring us

514
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.480
back? What are you gonna do? And remember back in the day,

515
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:30.840
in the greatness of the Tomy era, it was you gotta win Tuson,

516
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:32.679
you gotta win Arizona, and you've
got to go to southern California. And

517
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:36.559
since Tony left, it's been,
oh, we're gonna go to Texas.

518
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:38.880
Texas. Texas well. Texas is
the most over recruited state in the nation,

519
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:44.440
and Fish has changed his focus to
California. He's bought talent in and

520
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:49.199
he's been great with the alumni bringing
us in. He has done an amazing

521
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:54.440
job with donors and UH and some
of our ore all the stuff that's the

522
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:59.840
main part of being a head coach
other than football, he's been great at

523
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.480
and he's brought it back. And
I you know, my main thing is

524
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.599
I just hope weaking keek it.
Yeah, Okay, thanks Glenn as usual.

525
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.840
Appreciate it. Glenn, my pleasures. Thank you so much. Guys,

526
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.320
have a great day you too.
Thank you. Great stuff as usual

527
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:19.360
from Glenn Parker. Again. Another
guy came from somewhere else and stayed and

528
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.360
you know, was in Buffalo all
those years, you know, with the

529
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:25.360
Giants, with the chief, and
now he's here, and he of all

530
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:29.079
the places he could have gone to, he came back here. I think

531
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:30.960
it says a lot about what we
got going on here. All right,

532
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:34.920
thank you, Glenn. We will
be back. We'll take your calls.

years. Now. Take a look back

535
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.400
at the Ludelsen era in my new
book, Lessons from Loot. It was

536
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.360
a labor of love to the eyes
of twenty five former players, coaches,

537
00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:59.760
and friends to give insight to the
coach and the man who led them,

538
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:02.519
competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty five

539
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.800
years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons
from Newton is an insight to how he

540
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:12.960
built the program into a national powerhouse. What one email me at Steve dot

00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:32.320
Glenn actually works. My wife went
out to lunch. We came back in

your friend. He actually works on
the floor underneath her. Glenn does,

Oh, okay, all right,

00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.400
works in the foundation. She was
there, been in her current job for

605
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:51.880
two years. She's worked for the
u of A for like fifteen years now.

606
00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:55.000
And she used to work, you
know, in the foothills in the

607
00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:59.039
you know, bookkeeping type stuff for
there. They had a foundation in the

608
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:01.920
high school foundation and Glenn I met
him up there because his kids were in

609
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:07.000
the foothills and we used to live
in the foothills. He's, yeah,

610
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:09.519
he's a he's a great guy.
And actually called up when he was hosting

611
00:41:09.519 --> 00:41:16.559
with Dean Greenberg, remember that show, And I called him and my brother

612
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:22.159
was listening, because yeah, Glenn
liked you because I was talking about provincial

613
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.280
people at Dean Greenberger and Jay our
friend Jay there, you know what I

614
00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:31.639
mean, because that really can't see
test the border. That's ever been one

615
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:36.639
of them. Well, yeah,
Jay, you've been all around, but

616
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:42.840
not none of us has been all
around compared to Steve. No, no,

617
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.760
you're not. You're the opposite,
because you've been into eighty arenas around

618
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:53.199
the country. Hey, New Mexico
was called out for the two of the

619
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:57.880
most sinful cities in the country.
Did you hear that? I saw that

620
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:02.000
on Liternet? Just how long did
you when? Yesterday? Yeah? Basically

621
00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:07.519
the last days, we've been called
out for the two most simple cities in

622
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:12.199
the country in New Mexico. I
don't know what city is that. I

623
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:16.800
didn't read the article. No,
I don't. I don't know. I

624
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:22.400
don't know, but I guess basically, one thing I want to get off

625
00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:27.119
my chest is that I'm going to
be never drinking when I call the show.

626
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:31.480
That will keep me not drinking and
losing weight and exactly. Yeah,

627
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.199
right, And I'm not gonna you're
not gonna have to You're not gonna have

628
00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:38.159
to hold your the kill button so
close because I'm going to have a full

629
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:45.280
year. That means till June or
may or whatever. All right, Yeah,

630
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:49.280
okay, So I'm hoping you can
get some seats from somewhere in the

631
00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.719
Foundation or some of the donors that
don't use the tickets or whatever tomorrow.

632
00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:59.800
So that's how I get them,
right. Thanks, Well, see you've

633
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:07.440
got we'll see guys sometimes don't know
what to make a hard but he's he's

634
00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:09.800
a great guy and he calls and
that's fine, and he comes far.

635
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:14.320
He comes by remotes all the time. Yeah, the ones that we have

636
00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:16.559
just to hang out, they changed. They changed. Did you see this.

637
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:20.599
I was there last week? High
five is no longer High five.

638
00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:22.840
They changed it. Oh no,
they changed it. It's called Sinco.

639
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:27.159
Now this is funny. This is
first right. Uh, I can't remember

640
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:30.039
any Barbara was it Barbara? She
was the host. She had us for

641
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.000
a couple of months. So I
went and hey, I went with somebody

642
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:37.519
said that Sinko maybe have some good
Mexican uh food. Now, well,

643
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:39.239
no, it's the same same thing. They just changed the name. And

644
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:45.400
I don't think I'm breaking any news. It's the bar Rescue came in.

645
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:51.159
Oh it changed it. Wow.
Interesting, Right, we'll have to check

646
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:54.320
that out. And we got another
collar. You're on the air, the

647
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:59.760
ball man. I got the old
guys coming in Nico. How you doing.

648
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:01.679
Yeah, First of all, Steve
how much you pay that guy?

649
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:06.360
I didn't I did, I did
not do I know what people think.

650
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:07.679
I did not do that. In
fact, I just put a thing on

651
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:12.559
Facebook about it, and I think
are we Facebook friends? I did.

652
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:15.000
I swear. I did not say
you do a thing. Hey, man,

653
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:21.039
you give me fifty bucks, I'll
talk about it. No, you

654
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:24.119
might cuss about it. Hey,
it's probably a good book. I don't

655
00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:27.960
know. Yeah, it's a good
book. Of course it is. Go

656
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:31.039
ahead, what you call harass me? Oh no, I also wanted to

657
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:36.880
say this. I like Howard More
When you drink. I hope he doesn't

658
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.119
break that brown. Well, you
guys, You guys together would be pretty

659
00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:45.119
fun together. They'll probably a good
time before before you beat the crap out

660
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:50.760
of each other. Hey, I'm
not a fighter, man, that's right,

661
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:54.400
you're not. You're a lover,
aren't you. Yes, I loaded

662
00:44:54.519 --> 00:45:01.320
up in the desert. Hey,
you gotta take it, man, need

663
00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:07.639
Steve. Yes, I know,
fifty bucks, I got you. That's

664
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:10.320
funny, it's funny. I didn't. Is it Brian who called Brian?

665
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:13.559
Is it Brian who called? Yeah? It was Brian. And I don't

666
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:15.639
even know Brian. I've never met
Brian. Is Brian who loved your book

667
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:20.519
and told everybody to go buy it. But it's a good buck and like

668
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:22.320
I said, you know, well, you know, only one only one

669
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:28.239
complaint, one bad review, which
was how come I didn't have more chapters?

670
00:45:28.320 --> 00:45:32.039
Yeah, because he was twenty five
chops for twenty five years, he

671
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:36.280
coach, I couldn't in the publishers. He wanted twenty five. It gives

672
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:39.119
it some some sense of order,
right, But no, I thought that,

673
00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:42.679
you know, that was good.
You know, you know, I

674
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:46.880
actually have your book in my office. It's it set it on the table

675
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:52.480
where my my office television is.
And it's funny because my grandson, who

676
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.039
is now he crawls and now he
stands up. He's eating the pages.

677
00:45:55.320 --> 00:46:00.559
Well no, he but every time
he comes over he pulls the book off

678
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.559
the table. He just kind of
grabs it and flips it and the and

679
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.679
the cover comes off of it and
the whole bit. He doesn't he can't

680
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:10.840
read it. He doesn't read it. But for some I don't know,

681
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:15.559
if Luke he gets there and the
photo of Luke catches his attention, but

682
00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:17.800
he just got to think where every
I know, when he's been over the

683
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:22.480
house because the book is on the
floor in front of the TV. Makes

684
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.159
sense. So I googled the most
sinful places in the country. Uh,

685
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:29.760
what's number one? I think it's
obvious Vegas, Vegas number one, number

686
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.880
two New York. No, I'm
gonna go to l A. Houston.

687
00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:37.519
Use it's like it's like one.
Well, it's like one of the club

688
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.639
I would have gone, or I
would have gone Miami, like South each

689
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:50.280
and all that night in Miami's nice. Guess where Phoenix is. That's gonna

690
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:58.639
be pretty high four. Phoenix's ranked
sixth for lust. That's kind of how

691
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.199
they're based on this thing I heard
like MARKILLPA County was like the number one

692
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:06.159
place where divorced. Wow, because
there's so many new people there. There's

693
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:08.039
so many. It's so big.
Now, I mean, come on,

694
00:47:08.079 --> 00:47:12.920
almost last time you try to go
drive through Phoenix me all the time?

695
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:16.519
Oh do you Yeah, you'll be
there, So it's just a concrete jungle,

696
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:20.559
it is. No. Phoenix is
definitely one of those cities where all

697
00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:23.519
the roads are seemingly huge in like
four lanes and like all the left turns

698
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:28.280
and they don't flow unless you're there
at midnight. No, not at all.

699
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:30.239
Yeah, that was. That's a
fun little list. I'd be surprised

700
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:34.360
that I try to get I only
hit the top ten among them, but

701
00:47:34.400 --> 00:47:36.840
it doesn't go after that because I
want to see which ones are from New

702
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:38.639
Mexicano. I want to know what
the least sinful city is. What's the

703
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:44.000
most wholesome city you can live in
in America? You think this is from

704
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:51.159
the Desert News and they go to
one seventy nine Madison, Wisconsin. No,

705
00:47:51.159 --> 00:47:53.760
no, no, no, Pearl
City, Hawaii. Wow, that

706
00:47:53.880 --> 00:47:59.880
makes sense, you know on the
island Bridgeport, Connecticut. When eighty yes,

707
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.079
Loretto, Texas on three. You
have to try to get the whole

708
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:07.599
list. I'm curious what I'm missing
in New Mexico. I don't know.

709
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.639
But you know, if you go
back, it's it's gonna just like the

710
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:15.840
number is gonna keep going up,
right, Yeah, you know, just

711
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:20.920
it's just what I mean, would
be Albuquerque, Santa Fe. What you

712
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:25.639
know, what's up there? You
have to be Albuquerque, John John Jon

713
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:31.360
Yes, well yeah, well I'm
sure two sons in there somewhere. It's

714
00:48:31.400 --> 00:48:37.000
gonna hear it's it's I mean,
it's not going to be like Demian or

715
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:45.239
something like that. No hat where
the Chileans exactly exactly, So all right,

716
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.519
we got about four minutes left.
There is a women's basketball game tonight.

717
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:54.679
You see San Diego Arizona is what
well they got? They just lost

718
00:48:54.679 --> 00:49:00.039
recently and lost badly to U n
l V. They haven't been home and

719
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:05.280
forever who the women's basketball. Yeah, it's been like a really long time

720
00:49:06.039 --> 00:49:08.800
that since they've been since they've been
back here. But then they've got Texas

721
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:15.480
next week, which should be uh
should we just call her a challenge Arizona

722
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:21.159
an obstacle? Yeah, Arizona six
and two. You see San Diego coming

723
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:27.639
in and then they've got not to
be confused with the University of San Diego

724
00:49:28.119 --> 00:49:30.800
and then Texas next week, and
then they opened their conference play December seventeenth

725
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:36.559
at ASU. Gonzaga comes in here
December twentieth. But I'm shouldn't see what

726
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.320
they got the I know you guys
saw they picked up a javelin thrower to

727
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:45.679
be on the team. And Tommy
talked about that because Bruce as because the

728
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:51.159
girl, I don't know her name, she's comes from the same place that

729
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:52.880
Tommy Lloyd has come from. So
yeah, so do you have a connection

730
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:57.320
to her. Says, well,
I guess he knows her parents but doesn't

731
00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:00.679
really know her. Yeah. Interesting, they come from Kelsoe, Washington,

732
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:07.079
So he says, she'll do fine. She's from kelso It's a small world

733
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:10.199
anymore Bruce today, Yeah, a
little bit, because you know how Bruce

734
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:15.719
asks those questions is can you get
to compare the Wisconsin how they play and

735
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.119
how you play? There you go
Bruce trying to convict Nike those compare and

736
00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:23.480
contrast stories. And that's how it
started. That's how I started. It

737
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:29.079
wasn't that bad today though I asked
him. I asked him, But I

738
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:30.880
don't know if it's a good question
or whatever. But if he goes into

739
00:50:31.119 --> 00:50:36.000
games, like watching games when he's
not doesn't have his coaching hat on,

740
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.440
goes in to watch games and just
watches him as a fan, He says,

741
00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:42.920
well, no, because you always
have your coaching hat on. But

742
00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:45.960
it's basketball games are always on.
He says. My wife tells me we

743
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:47.760
just watched basketball games all the time
at nighttime. So you know, they

744
00:50:47.880 --> 00:50:51.800
either cooking dinner or whatever, there's
a game on, there's doing late night,

745
00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:54.679
there's a game on, And he
says, I coaching is about stealing,

746
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:59.400
stealing ideas, and that's what he
does. And a lot of good

747
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:01.639
coaches do different things, and he
tries to interesting and do that. So

748
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:04.679
it's in there. I'm gonna probably
do a story. Well you know,

749
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:09.159
well, well i'll download the press
conference audio we go to tomorrow, play

750
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:12.840
some clips to the day before the
game. It'll give us you know,

751
00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:15.719
yeah, because we're gonna want to
talk about the Wisconsin game coming up.

752
