Hey, welcome back to My the Ball here on 4 00:00:14.119 --> 00:00:17.160 Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, he's Jay. They have Adam with 5 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:23.440 breaking news. This is I on the Ball Breaking News on Fox Sports fourteen 6 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.839 fifty. All right, so we're gonna start off with again Patrick Beverly. 7 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.920 The Indianapolis Police announced Wednesday they've opened an investigation into Patrick Beverly and the citizen 8 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.079 altercation that happened with Beverly throwing the ball at a fan in the final minute. 9 00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.439 Did they say why and I'll go to your hat again of cop being 10 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.119 a cop reporter, do you think the person who got on the end of 11 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.359 the ball would have to file a complaint or is it just something that people 12 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.000 saw and you saw something happen? What created this that that can happen in 13 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.799 in two ways? They because somebody doesn't have to file complain for them to 14 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:06.560 investigate a crime. So you know, somebody in the police department or even 15 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:07.879 the prosecutors officer say, you know what, we better, we better take 16 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.480 a look at that, and so they take a look at it. They'll 17 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.400 go to talk to everybody, and it may be that they'll go to the 18 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.280 they'll go to the person, you know, and they'll say, you know 19 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.000 what, I I don't want to do this and then and that'll end it. 20 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:25.400 Or that person can report Patrick Beverley to the police and say he assaulted 21 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.200 me. I want you know, I want to consider pressing charges against this 22 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:30.120 guy, and then they can look it. So it can happen one of 23 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.879 two ways. So did it say did it say who who? Who started 24 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:41.159 this? Nay, they're just looking into it. Yeah, I think it 25 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:49.079 would have said if if the spectator was asking, you know, you could 26 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.439 have said the spectator is pressing charges against Patrick Beverley if they did. If 27 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.799 it didn't say that, it's probably one of those things where you know, 28 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.719 the prosecutors officer saying, look, this was video millions of people saw. 29 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:05.400 If we don't do something, people are gonna say, just check into it. 30 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.159 So they're at least going to look into it. And like I said, 31 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:12.240 probably the first thing they'll do is they'll go ask the the person, 32 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.840 look, do you want to press charges on this? And if the person 33 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.599 says, I don't you know, no, I'm gonna assume him and get 34 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:23.639 my money, you know, or whatever they say. You know, they 35 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:29.039 could just say that, okay. Also for their news on Jamal Murray, 36 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.360 he's he was docked one hundred thousand dollars for a fine, but no suspension 37 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.639 for throwing Again. We talked about it yesterday, throwing the feedback on the 38 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.719 court at the referee almost hit a player, I guess, But no suspension, 39 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:49.879 dummy. So that's like Tim Bucks to you and me. Yeah, 40 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.159 yeah, you know, he'll, you know, he'll, he'll, he'll, 41 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.599 he'll push the seat of his back, the back seat of his car 42 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.879 over and he'll get the money, and yeah, he'll be done. That's 43 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.960 your education, right, your education in Tim Bucks to him and me. 44 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:08.039 Yeah. Absolutely. This is interesting. So former shoe Heey Otani's former interpreter 45 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:17.479 was apparently wiring stolen funds to a Real Housewife star of Orange County. What 46 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:24.840 Yeah, the former interpreter of Otani. The guy's name was the Ryan Boyajon, 47 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.960 a current cast member of Bravo's reality TV series The Real Housewives of Orange 48 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.520 County. Again, he was accused of stealing nearly seventeen million to feed what 49 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.199 he described to be a gambling addiction, So that that's very weird. But 50 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.080 saying he was was he the was that guy the bookie or is it? 51 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:53.879 It's not clear? Uh yeah, I'm not so sure why they're close friends, 52 00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.680 business associates for nearly twenty years. Did that guy end up with the 53 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:11.680 money? That's the house wife guy? Uh? He loaned oh money to 54 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.560 him, and I guess, uh, that's how he's playing on that. 55 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:19.000 I'm not not positive, but it's a little weird turn it is. It 56 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:26.639 is the Pittsburgh pirates are calling up the former number one pick. I believe 57 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.120 Paul Schemes h throws over one hundred miles per hour. So he's coming up 58 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:38.639 to the big show. When whatever happened to what's the mike? Oh yeah, 59 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.480 yeah, he's in the triple He hasn't done he hasn't hit well, 60 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.639 I don't think yeah from Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah, I haven't heard. 61 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.279 I don't think he's he's in triple A. NFL. There's some news in 62 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.560 the NFL. This isn't regarding sports, but Travis Kelsey. Kelsey is going 63 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:59.959 to be on the Ryan Murphy horror series show. It's his first major acting 64 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.279 role. Does he get that gig if he's not dating Taylor Swift? He's 65 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:10.959 been on a show before. I'm not so possibly, but yeah, this 66 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.920 is his uh, I guess this is his main acting role. He was 67 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.240 on a reality dating show I believe a few years ago, but this is 68 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:28.120 his first real go at it? And then what else we got? You 69 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:33.680 guys want to the NFL is releasing their schedule May fifteen, fifteen, Well, 70 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.920 you guys, the hockey kid, the hockey kid. What had the 71 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.839 draft last night? The lottery draft lottery. San Jose Sharks landed the number 72 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.040 one pick. Were they the worst team last year? This year? Yeah, 73 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.399 they were the worst team. And there's a you want to speak to 74 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:54.639 the players? The top prospect I don't remember his named, celebrity. He's 75 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.480 seventeen years old. He's like a sure fire number one pick, so the 76 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.079 Sharks will have the rights to draft him if they choose to. That was 77 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:10.839 pretty much it, other than the TSU's coach predicting a split among the Power 78 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:17.519 five schools. I guess now power four schools split? What thinks that there's 79 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:24.560 gonna be just two different conferences? Oh yeah, because the SEC in the 80 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.800 Big Ten are going to get together and trying to run the show, is 81 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.079 what it's what they're doing. Yeah, I mean I can see that happening 82 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.439 at some point. But then then you know they're gonna get together, put 83 00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:36.879 their conference together and say, okay, whin that's the national champion. Well 84 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.759 it says who? Right, right, says who? I mean, you 85 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.600 know, the Big ten SEC they kind of own. Yeah, you know, 86 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.519 we were having a conversation about that, you know, talking about you 87 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.240 know, how are Washington and Oregon going to do? You know in the 88 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.560 Big Ten? How'd you say that? You see? In football, the 89 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:02.439 reality is there's only two good teams in that league before Pacto's schools come in 90 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.600 there, Michigan and Ohio State. I mean, I mean, think about 91 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.560 think about Iowa, right, Think about Iowa. They averaged one like eight 92 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.839 points a game last year and got into the into the conference championship game, 93 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.199 right and they you know, they're terrible, all right, and they were 94 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.839 the and they were in the conference championship game. There's two good In football, 95 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:25.879 there's really only two good teams. Generally. Wisconsin's pretty good. Wisconsin 96 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.279 is is Washington or Wisconsin. Oregon is better than Wisconsin. You can argue 97 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.480 Washington. Well, Washington certainly last year was better than Wisconsin. Just the 98 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.319 point that people saying that those teams are gonna suck in the big in Big 99 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.040 ten football, you know, I mean U c l A Will because they 100 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:47.240 sucked in Pac twelve football, right, but you know, Oregon, Washington 101 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:54.120 and even USC are going to compete now especially all right now are they good 102 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.279 enough to you know, get over the top. But it's gonna be harder 103 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:03.319 for mission again in Ohio State. All of a sudden, have Oregon and 104 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:09.279 Washington and USC in the league because they're not Iowa, they're not Purdue, 105 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.000 they're not Northwestern, they're not Illinois. They're better than all those teams, 106 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:20.319 right, So I think it's you know, there's just this assumption that those 107 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.040 schools are going to go there and they're going to suck. No, I 108 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.800 don't think they are. No, they'll finish how many teams in the league 109 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:30.240 now, eighteen eighteen eighteen, So they'll finished in the top six, Yeah, 110 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.240 top six probably, yeah, both of them usually, No, ch 111 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.519 do I think Washington is going to go in there and and uh and knock 112 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.600 you know, Michigan, Ohio State off off the top, I do not, 113 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.320 but I do think Washington and Oregon are probably the in whatever order you 114 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.399 want to put them in. Maybe Washington, USC and Oregon are the third, 115 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.960 fourth and fifth best teams in that league at the end of the day, 116 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.120 didn't they They did it for the money obviously, right, and the 117 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.360 competition, Yeah, but the money, the money. It was all of 118 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.120 us, the money, And I see that's why everybody landed in the goods. 119 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.279 If it was gonna happen, everyone landed in the right spot. Yeah, 120 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.519 because there was one who's gonna benefit from moving to the the Big twelve 121 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.000 basketball wise and football? What do you what do you think of Stanford and 122 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.600 Cal going to the A C C. That's that's kind of like a yawn 123 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.240 story. I mean, okay, well, I mean that was that was 124 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.000 a desperation move, right. I mean they don't fit. They don't fit 125 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.600 geographically, they don't fit academically. Is where do they fit otherwise? They 126 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.159 don't fit you know their sport? Yeah, you know, you know those 127 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:37.440 two schools there, they major in the Olympic sports, right, Uh, 128 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.559 who are they going to play? Yeah? Unless they went both independent wouldn't. 129 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.080 That's the only way to do it the a CC. Yeah, and 130 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.799 they're not going to recoup as much money as they want. No. I 131 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.320 almost think they should have stayed with Oregon State in Washington State and tried to 132 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.240 build a league with those four teams. Yeah, and then that would how 133 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.159 would that have been? I don't know very I'm just glad it was in 134 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.799 Arizona. Yeah, no, yeah, that could have happened, but you 135 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.120 know, maybe not. Yeah. All right, here's a little breaking thing. 136 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:13.240 Arizona golf women's golf did not make the championship tournament. They lost. 137 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.120 They missed fifth place by two strokes. Well, they are a lot. 138 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.039 Didn't make it in the regional they finished tied for uh and I finished sixth. 139 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.360 So it's alight. When Arkansas perdue Baylor UCLA in Florida State, Arizona 140 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.279 was sixteen over missed it by two strokes. So their season is over. 141 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.440 So let me ask all you guys who follow college basketball, how do you 142 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.399 think Caliparta is gonna do at Rokansas. Yeah, he's already killing it, 143 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.879 killing it on the recruiting wise, yeah yeah, but does that matter with 144 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.559 him? Yeah? I mean he's always gotten great, great players. Can 145 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.399 he coach him? Right? A lot of these guys are coming from Kentucky, 146 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.720 so they do have a year of experience as opposed to generally the high 147 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.440 school. You know, you know, still maybe maybe a big difference will 148 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.120 be just you know, the pressure is kind of off. I mean, 149 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.039 yes, the expectation at Arkansas. You hire a guy like Caliberry, you 150 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.399 expect to win. You know, Arkansas, you know has been really good, 151 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.240 you know, until last year. But you're not gonna have Kentucky fan. 152 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.000 They're eating down your neck all the time. And who knows how much 153 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.639 better you can coach by not having that sure, you know, you know, 154 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.960 you know who. I think he's gonna first Kentucky basketball. They could 155 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.240 do work with something. He's a good coach. He's a good coach one 156 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.720 and he has his players who wanted to play for blah blah blah. He's 157 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.200 a good coach. But a color party. I've always thought, not like 158 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.279 Citizen the show, he's the most overrated college basketball coach. Yeah. Well 159 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.320 he got teen years. Yeah, he got the Kentucky job and was bringing 160 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.679 in you know, eight five star players every year. You know, he 161 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:52.679 had that undefeated season until it wasn't undefeated anymore. Yeah, you know that 162 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.000 that was so much about who who who where he was coaching, not could 163 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.399 he coached? What was your like, you call it he's overrated? I 164 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.120 agree, but like what was what was the expectation? Do you think he 165 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.159 should have come away? Oh he should have had more ships at least more 166 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:15.039 than one go deeper. Just look at his resume with the last tournaments round, 167 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.360 second round, blah blah blah. Yeah, just in the last ten 168 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.600 fifteen years he kind of and I said this with with the with Our Tuesday, 169 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.679 at least that the coach K was kind of kind of overrated in the 170 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.480 last ten years he had the same talent, came away with maybe a title 171 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.919 or two maybe. But it's like criticizing loot and I'm not all these teams 172 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.120 he had. Everyone says, like your mind, right, guess what? 173 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.000 They all have to play each other. I mean, here's the problem. 174 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.679 Everyone is getting better now, so is everybody else. Yeah, so how 175 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.000 can you say, Well, I saw somebody on Twitter yesterday or whatever it 176 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.320 was saying, oh, we got we got the guys, We're going to 177 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.240 be really good. Guess what, guys, So are the pig twelve, 178 00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.559 so is everybody. You have to watch other places to see what they're doing 179 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.480 too. It doesn't matter who you are. You could drive a nice car, 180 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.360 but guess what, the neighbor has a nicer one. Yeah, yeah, 181 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.799 yeah, I agree now I yeah, no, I I again, 182 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:15.519 he he you know, because he landed at Kentucky and the expectations, the 183 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.759 things that came with being coach of Kentucky's you get players, and the honeymoon 184 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:24.200 was over after he was not doing anything with the players, you know, 185 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.600 and that was a long time ago, twenty twelve, I think, But 186 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.240 they did right, right, We played twelve years now, So I mean, 187 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.879 as you said, he got close. Davis has been in the league 188 00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.240 for twelve years. Yeah yeah, it's I mean it goes by fast. 189 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.519 Wow. Yeah. Look Tommy's been here three or years. Yeah yeah, 190 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.960 you know, and now the pressure is kind of getting on him too because 191 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.879 of the expectation expectations. Yes, yes, it is hard to win. 192 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.200 I mean, no question. People don't understand how difficult it is to win, 193 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.440 especially on the road, and then when it comes driving to win in 194 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.480 March, because everybody else is pretty darn good. And if you have Arizona, 195 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.519 how did Arizona win their title. And I'm gonna probably speak too much 196 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.200 for this. No one thought came out of nowhere exactly, and they were 197 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:16.879 the underdog saying we can prove that we can do it. Now, they 198 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:20.360 get now, they get the Arizonas against them, saying that we can be 199 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.960 Yeah, everybody's taking their best shot against already. We've talked about that for 200 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.240 years, about how Arizona comes to town and you're getting somebody's best game. 201 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.480 Every time Arizona did it to Kansas, they did it to to Kentucky, 202 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.080 they did the Providence, all these teams. Oh you can't be let me 203 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:41.320 show you, and they did it. Yeah, right exactly. All right, 204 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.799 let's take our next break.

How are you guys 280 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.480 doing fine? Thank you? Let me ask you. You must pinch yourself 281 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.400 every now and again. You have a great jump, You get to do 282 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.799 something you love now all the time. I mean it's literally I'm having those 283 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.519 pinch myself moments where I'll just be like in the dugout, you know, 284 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:27.759 for a game, and I have to remind myself this is my job, 285 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.759 like that I'm getting paid to do this, you know. So yes, 286 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:36.160 I definitely I would say that I have those pinch myself moments quite a bit 287 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.799 now. So you're you're you're You're up in Palo Alto for the PAC twelve 288 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.839 tournament starts tomorrow. First of all, do you like the tournament? You 289 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:47.880 know? Last year? I think last year was the first year, right, 290 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:49.519 did you guys like it? You? What do you think yet? 291 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:55.200 Yeah? So I've actually been a big proponent of of giving one for quite 292 00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:00.480 a while. I've never I didn't really understand why we didn't have one for 293 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.359 so many years. So when it was announced that it was starting, and 294 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.039 when it was announced that we were going to be the first host, you 295 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.640 know, it was it was really really cool last year and the tournament was 296 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.880 awesome. I mean, you know, I had to be there for every 297 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.759 single game. I did PA for every single game last year, and it 298 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:26.119 was a really really cool experience. And I think a lot of that was 299 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:29.599 just how special Hill and Brand is. You know, we filled up the 300 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.480 stands for every game, even the games that Arizona wasn't playing in, and 301 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.160 it was just an awesome experience. And I'm excited for this one this weekend 302 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.880 here in hollow Out though. So you're you're ranked, I think you're fifth 303 00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:42.519 in the conference. You're ranked in the top twenty five. And you know, 304 00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.480 Luke back in the day, him and Mike Montgomery didn't like to tournament 305 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.720 because it could only hurt you, right, if you already played everybody and 306 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.359 you're really good, you know, what did it mean? What does it 307 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.400 mean for you guys? Because you guys are in right, you'd think yep. 308 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.200 So this is a big opportunity for us to try to get into that 309 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:06.400 top sixteen, get one of those national seeds, and get the opportunity to 310 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:11.039 host a regional, hopefully at Hillenbrand. And winning a few games, you 311 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.960 know, however many we were able to win, would go a long way 312 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.160 to doing that. But it's also it also works that way for a team 313 00:22:18.240 --> 00:22:22.119 like Utah who's coming into this weekend maybe on the bubble, so they have 314 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:29.240 the opportunity to play themselves into the field or cement their status as a you 315 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.519 know, a team that's going to the postseason. Okay, so coming into 316 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.240 the tournament, you know, what's the mood around the program. How do 317 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.640 they feel about how things are you know, how they've been over the last 318 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.400 few weeks, Are they ready? Just kind of a general atmosphere of the 319 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:49.559 pro of the team right now headed into the game tomorrow. We know one 320 00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:55.759 thing about this team is that it's been great vibes, great everything all year 321 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.759 because the team culture is really really spectacular with this team, so it's really 322 00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.480 a joy to be around. And yeah, they're ready to go. As 323 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.880 Jay said, you've been around from one hundred years following this team. So 324 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.200 I hate to do this to you, but maybe, and you don't have 325 00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.640 to answer. This team is pretty good and probably better than we thought it 326 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.519 would be or people thought it would be. And you've seen some fantastic teams. 327 00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.559 Where does this fit in? If you can, if you can say 328 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:27.119 that, you know, it's hard to say where it fits in. It's 329 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:30.880 just so the game has changed so much over the last ten years, and 330 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.079 you know, it's hard to say where this team ranks among the others. 331 00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.680 What I will say is that I think this is the best defensive team that 332 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:45.279 I've ever seen, at least in my time this. The defense is really 333 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.920 really good. Taylor Beale just won Pack twelve Defensive Player of the Year and 334 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.680 we are second in the nation and fielding percentage and so the defense is really 335 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:59.119 really good. And I think that hitting, you know, the lineup one 336 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:03.960 through nine is about as deep. You know, there's been some really really 337 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.920 good teams in my time, but just about as deep as I can remember. 338 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.400 Yeah, So it always comes down to pitching. So what's uh, 339 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.519 you know, what's the uh, the prognosis for pitching going into this tournament? 340 00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:17.920 And you know, when you're playing a bunch of games in a short 341 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.880 period of time like that, you know, what are the expectations and how 342 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:26.759 are they going to do this? So the kind of blessing I guess with 343 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.920 how the schedule worked out and that we actually had a bye week as our 344 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:33.640 last regular season week. You know, there's an odd number of conference teams, 345 00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.599 so everyone's got one bye week in ours is the last week of the 346 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.720 season when pretty much everybody else was playing, so we weren't able to schedule 347 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.480 a non conference opponent. So we actually got a week off heading into the 348 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:51.519 postseason, which at this time of the year, everybody's pitching staffs are you 349 00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:56.440 know, just gassed, and everybody is dealing with fatigue issues at this point, 350 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.000 and you know, hope, we're hoping that maybe that extra week off 351 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.240 to this will save some of the arms a little bit as we get ready 352 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:08.880 for your right I mean, because a brutal stretch of using pitchers and right 353 00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:12.640 over and over again. So yeah, yeah, I really like that you're 354 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:17.200 talking about the defense because I'm a you know, shortstop, second baseman, 355 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.559 kind of up the middle type of stuff. Have. You have a strong 356 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.079 and your center fielder is strong to right, So if you're strong up the 357 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.599 middle, this team must be very good up the middle, defensively and everywhere 358 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.599 else. I mean, this team is as strong up the middle as any 359 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:33.680 I think that could be. There's PAC twelve Defensive Players of the Year on 360 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.039 both sides of the middle and field. Second base Ali Skaggs was it last 361 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:44.839 year. She was the gold Glove winner last year, and then shortstop Taylor 362 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:48.720 Bill this year, and then Reagan Shocky, honestly, I think if it 363 00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.000 weren't for Taylor that Reagan would have been the TACK twelve Defensive Player of the 364 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:57.240 Year this year. That's just how deep this defense is. I've only you 365 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:03.279 had to have to see Taylor Shocky play called times. Is she conjuring memories 366 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:08.480 of Caitlin Lowe and center field at all? It's funny. My my wife 367 00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:11.480 asked me, She said, who who does she remind you of? Who 368 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.880 is she like anybody you've ever seen prior? And the only answer I had 369 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:22.119 was Caitlin. I mean she's that good defensively and really really good at the 370 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:29.839 plate as well. Talk about the the the career of Carli your first basement 371 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.839 hardy scooping. Yes, yeah, you know. Four year starter came in 372 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:41.480 as a freshman on what was a senior led team, a senior dominated team 373 00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:48.640 that COVID year, and has started her entire career at first base and been 374 00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:53.359 just one of my favorite athletes I've ever I've ever worked with. First I 375 00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.960 worked with her as her SID and now obviously back with the program. So 376 00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:03.839 one of my favorite app fleets both on and off the field. She is 377 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:10.839 awesome and it's been fun to watch her hit for four years. Right something 378 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:14.519 else? Right? So the leadership of the team, where do you where? 379 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:15.839 Does it said? Who? Who are they? And who are the 380 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:21.119 ones that I guess we would assume we're going to be looking for them in 381 00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:26.599 the postseason to you know, step up and lead. The cool thing about 382 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.480 this team is it's really kind of the leadership comes from from everywhere. Everybody 383 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.599 feels that like they can lead in some way, shape or form. You 384 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:40.720 know, we have even freshmen who have made their impacts felt in that way. 385 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:44.240 But you know, I think at this point, since it is the 386 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:47.799 postseason, it's winnered home for for all of our seniors. I think it 387 00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:49.759 is from that senior class. You know, this senior class has meant so 388 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.559 much to this program. From you mentioned Carly Scoop and Ali Skaggs and Jazz 389 00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:59.799 and Paris Cheek are three four year seniors. So those three I would say, 390 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.799 all right, so we know she's your boss, but I want you 391 00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.480 to evaluate her. Tell us, you know it's her third year right settling 392 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.759 in in Uh, you know, she's been in the job for a little 393 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:15.240 bit. Now are you seeing you know, do you from where you sit, 394 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.359 do you see her growing as a coach, doing things, changing things, 395 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:23.519 adjusting? What do you see from Caitlin as a coach of this of 396 00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.759 this program. No, I think the big thing that nobody else gets to 397 00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:34.240 see is how she runs practice and how practice looks, and how how much 398 00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:40.079 better we get every single day in practice. And I think that really really 399 00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:44.519 shows on the field. So yes, I think Kaitlyn has done an amazing 400 00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:48.279 job. I mean, people, I think forget she was the first coach 401 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.119 to lead her team to the World Series as a first year head coach in 402 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:56.359 NC double A history, just two years ago. So yes, Caitlyn is 403 00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:00.200 is doing really really good things and will continue to do really really good things. 404 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.359 Well, Danny, when you asked that question, I wanted to kind 405 00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:04.680 of tag on that too, So you know how I know how I know 406 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:10.400 she's doing very well. Nobody's batching about her, No one's Honestly, I 407 00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.160 haven't seen too much about that. Yeah, you know how the world is. 408 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.799 If you run away, you lose the game, got to get a 409 00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:19.119 replaced blah blah. But I haven't heard any of that. Yeah. Yeah, 410 00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.200 Twitter can be a brutal place, especially for coaches. So yeah, 411 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:27.400 oh yeah, I agree. All right. So you know, Steve and 412 00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.880 I were going through the rankings, you know mentioned that UCLA. You know, 413 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.960 they're they're ranked six in the country, and it's like, how good 414 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.559 are they? And I'm like, there's still UCLA and they're still really good. 415 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:40.599 It's just everybody else around the country has gotten so much better. In 416 00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.799 fact, he ran off the teams ahead of them, ahead of UCLA in 417 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:47.440 the in the rankings. I'm like, I didn't even know a couple of 418 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:51.359 them even played softball. So you know, over your time, right, 419 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.400 this has changed like that. It's that there's so many good teams out there 420 00:29:53.799 --> 00:30:00.200 that weren't there fifteen years ago or even ten years ago. Right, Talk 421 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.400 a little bit about that, that whole national aspect of what's happened in softball. 422 00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:08.759 Yeah, it's crazy. I mean it's really it's been the buy in 423 00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:12.920 of specifically the SEC, but even in the Big twelve as well, just 424 00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:18.640 nationally, teams are starting to put money, put resources behind softball and you're 425 00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:22.319 seeing it pay off. I think that goes for all of women's sports right 426 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.359 now. You know, we just saw all the crazy numbers and the creepy 427 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.559 viewership data from the Women's Final flour and I think you're going to see very 428 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.640 similar, you know, kind of increases over the next month with softball. 429 00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.480 You know, I think women's sports has just in a really really good place 430 00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.279 right now, correct me if I'm wrong, Danny. But last year I 431 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.920 think did they lose to UCLA like in a heartbreaker in the tournament? Yes? 432 00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.799 Yeah, does that kind of help them because they had them on the 433 00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.119 brink they lost, and it was in the tournament where it kind of gives 434 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.799 them they know they can compete, especially at this time of year. Yeah, 435 00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.440 I think that that probably has you know, a little bit of carryover 436 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:06.519 last year in the Pactal Tournament. We opened with Arizona State and run rolled 437 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:11.960 them on a walk off grand slam. So yeah, this team has postseason 438 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:18.160 or PAC twelve tournament experience now, and I think, you know, I 439 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:21.759 do think that that will We'll play a role here tomorrow. Okay, we 440 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:23.480 want you to evaluate this. Is Stafford a good place for this? Why 441 00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:27.200 why Stanford? Is it? Is this rotating? Or is do you have 442 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.519 to Bidford? How do you get how do you get to host this thing? 443 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.079 You know, that's a great question. It wasn't supposed to be a 444 00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:41.759 rotating thing. Obviously, we couldn't foresee what happened last summer, and so 445 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:47.000 the Pactell Tournament only ends up going too places. But you know, it's 446 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:51.000 hard to compare anything to hill Brand. Hillen Brand is just such a special 447 00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:56.440 place, not only in the PAC twelve but nationally, so we can try 448 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.200 to you know, I'm sure Stanford's gonna do a great job. You know, 449 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.079 I'm excited to be not the host this year, and I'm excited to 450 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:08.680 watch somebody else do it. But there's no nowhere like Hill and Brandon. 451 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:12.200 If we can, we get it only two minutes. I don't even know 452 00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.640 what's your what's your role with the team, but yeah, what are some 453 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:19.559 of the things that you do? So I'm the director of operations, so 454 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.599 just anything logistically with the team. I'm you know, in charge of specifically 455 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:30.960 travel, food, everything, just kind of helping us get from point A 456 00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:36.599 to point B and keeping the tires turning the right direction with the team, 457 00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.960 do you do you rake and line fields and stuff like that. You know, 458 00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:44.960 I haven't yet, but I have told them that if they need my 459 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.920 services, I am more than happy to I wear a lot of hats, 460 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.240 So whatever they need me to do, I'll do. And you sound like 461 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:53.960 again, you sound like you're just having a blast with this. I am, 462 00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:58.079 yeah, cool, that's great. Well, Danny, thanks for doing 463 00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.359 it, Yeah, Danny, and like where you wait? Where are you 464 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:07.920 guys going to dinner tonight?

You can say I had something to do it. He's 479 00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:05.200 supposed to say. Now I have to take care of you. Yeah, 480 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:07.519 he's gonna have to take care of me, so I can't remember his name 481 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:09.119 right right, all right, let's take our last break.

Yeah, because we've been getting the 539 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:19.320 baseball and the calls about four thousands. So yeah, if you're not the 540 00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.440 baby softballs you know, is always going to be And again, it's a 541 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.159 great facility. You know, it's a great it's a great place to go 542 00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:28.920 watch a game. So now I go, I go to one early in 543 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:31.000 the year, I can't remember, I have not I know some friends that 544 00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:35.000 have, so I know I've watched it. But you know, if they're 545 00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:37.880 on on TV and I'm at home, I watch, you know, because 546 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.159 I want to know what's going on. Yeah, and it's a good price 547 00:38:40.159 --> 00:38:45.119 for a ticket to go see a good Yeah. Now they're they're again. 548 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.239 You know, it's it's it's a well established thing to do in in town, 549 00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.519 you know, to go to games and stuff. So I think they'll 550 00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:55.679 they'll always have that, They'll always have the fan following. I think, 551 00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:59.280 uh, you know, and now you know, the postseason starts. I 552 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.639 think if I think if well, I know, this is probably something that 553 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:06.880 we talked about earlier. If baseball does better, they go into the deep 554 00:39:06.920 --> 00:39:09.719 into it and softball gift to the series. Your grade of seven point seven 555 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:17.119 goes up to because because there are obviously two story programs, and it's been 556 00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:21.880 a good year all relative, it's pretty well, you know, it's kind 557 00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:23.920 of been an under under the radar. You're for both of them, right, 558 00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:29.119 well, for the whole for the whole program, not that it's under 559 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:32.400 the radar, but it's been kind of exceeding, exceeding exceeding, because come 560 00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.320 on football, who would have ever thought that started so dark for so long 561 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:39.639 and you get this great team. And I can say great because you hadn't 562 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:44.760 seen a team like this a long time. On basketball, you see it 563 00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:46.559 for a long for a while, right, and then it kind of level 564 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:51.440 off and women's basketball had its issues or whatever, and then they kind of 565 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.960 finished strong. So it's it's been a pretty good year. Yeah, No, 566 00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:58.360 it has been. It has been. It's been fun. You don't 567 00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:00.840 look at tennis. I mean they created a lot of excite. Sure, 568 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:06.280 you know they you know with what they've done, so you know it's yeah, 569 00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:07.559 you know what I didn't, I didn't think. I wasn't thinking much 570 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.599 of tennis. I'm gonna I'm gonna go eight point one, Steve eight point 571 00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:13.760 one, I think, so I'll go eight Yeah, because I'm gonna go 572 00:40:13.800 --> 00:40:15.719 eight point one in the ground scheme of things. If you both golf programs 573 00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:20.199 didn't, we're really good this year. Both were ranked, so you know, 574 00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:22.840 you got that we haven't heard much from track, tracker, volleyball. 575 00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.800 Yeah, well checker, volleyball, volleyball. Don't think it didn't. Yeah, 576 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:31.280 yeah, but you know, overall the signature of programs have done really 577 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:34.559 well right and again, you know when you get off to a good start 578 00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.679 with football, that sets the tone, and that really does and it has 579 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:39.360 this year to both of you kids, and you can talk with this to 580 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:44.000 Mike Henry, You guys came because of the school, because of the sports, 581 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:47.880 because of what uh I would say the school, but a lot of 582 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.960 it had to do with the sports. And then in your time here, 583 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:59.119 did it satisfy you that you would have liked to see them do a little 584 00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:05.079 bit better in what in that's you know they're known for basketball? Football. 585 00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:10.320 Was pleasantly surprised, just a big jump from last year to this year. 586 00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:14.760 So I think they're on the come up for sure. Yeah, and you 587 00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.559 were from la Henry, you're from the East coast, New York. And 588 00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:24.400 how did that happen? Witness protection program? I don't know. I kind 589 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:29.480 of want to come out here for the weather aspect, but also just good 590 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:32.199 at decent school that I wanted to go out to the West Coast of some 591 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.119 family, but sports play a part of it. Yeah, I definitely wanted 592 00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:38.400 to school that had a decent sports. I always knew we had a football 593 00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:44.840 team. I nam'd actually be good. And that's James philosophy, no hoping 594 00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:52.119 to be good. I have to take that cool. So and you went 595 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:53.800 your games? Yeah, football game. I mean I went to all most 596 00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:57.800 of the games twenty twenty two, and I was like, the team's actually 597 00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.199 pretty good. So going into last year, I thought we could. I 598 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:01.519 didn't think ninety three was on the table, but I thought we could get 599 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:06.639 to a bowl. Games pleasantly surprised me. In basketball basketball, Yeah, 600 00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:09.199 I've been to most games here since I've got here. I hope you didn't 601 00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:14.719 boo. Uh yeah you didn't boo, BRONI did you. I actually didn't 602 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:19.960 get tickets second too late. I like to hear that here's out on the 603 00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:25.239 heat the night before. All right, man, I like you, Henry, 604 00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:29.400 We're gonna find in your Okay, all right, Well that's what because 605 00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.920 it's the front porch of the school. Yeah, but you know, just 606 00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:35.880 as much as the administration does. And I don't know, Steve, you 607 00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:40.280 know, maybe maybe it's because I you know, to me, it's just 608 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:45.239 two sons of nicer place when you have this kind of excitement around here, 609 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:47.840 right, And I know there's a lot of people who don't give one crap 610 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:52.760 about sports, right there really are. But you know, you go to 611 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:54.159 you go to the mall, you go to the grocery store, you go 612 00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:58.519 to the doctor's office, you go to a breakfast, and if people are 613 00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:01.039 talking about sports and things are going well, it's just more pleasant. Did 614 00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:04.519 you around me? Did you have your breakfast this morning? Or yes? 615 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.960 Yes, that was your No, you're you're twelve year twelve young angry men. 616 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:10.559 Oh that was the lunch today? Yeah, okay. So did they 617 00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:15.960 talk about the Arizonable Yes, okay, what was your reaction for that? 618 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.320 Just you know, everybody's happy with I mean, that's gonna be cool. 619 00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:22.360 And that's another thing where good. It just created some buzz, right, 620 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.960 It created some buzz. And so when you know, we're we're a town 621 00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:32.039 where sports doesn't get lost in the shuffle like it can like as U sports 622 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:37.360 get lofts in the shuffle in Phoenix. Sure, and you can tell by 623 00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:42.559 by tendance numbers and stuff like that. Arizona, Arizona athletics does not get 624 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.679 lost in the shuffle. And then it feeds down into because because people like 625 00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:49.599 the U of A sports, they're more excited about, you know, the 626 00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:52.360 high school sports and PEMA and stuff like that, and it allows us to 627 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.800 have have a radio show where we can talk about all those sports and people 628 00:43:54.840 --> 00:44:00.320 listen to us. So two guys come from metro metro places obvious, l 629 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:04.639 A and New York. You're gonna go back to home where it's it's it's 630 00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:08.079 genomeous, right yeah, and the Rams or whatever you have the Lakers. 631 00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:13.079 Now you now you're not gonna have this. What are you gonna have? 632 00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:16.320 And it's not enough. I'm just asking what are you gonna have for college? 633 00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:21.199 I mean, this is like a hometown. You don't have that. 634 00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:24.880 Now you're going to back home too. It's a big ass place, big 635 00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:28.760 gas place. You're but you're you're a pro sports guy though, right because 636 00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:30.559 you're from l A. Right, Henry, I'm assuming you too. You 637 00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:34.920 know that. You guys are you know the Yankees, the Lakers, you 638 00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.079 know the Dodge or whatever in your mind and I kind of call this Maybury. 639 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.280 You have probably have no idea what I'm saying Maybury where it's a small 640 00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:45.559 town. You gave me the finger where it's a small town. What do 641 00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:47.960 you think about Tucson? I won't well as a sports town. Yeah, 642 00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:52.639 I mean they don't have a professional team. We're pretty much a minor league 643 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:58.800 team. So I understand the school revolve like people revolve around the school, 644 00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.159 and that we don't have that you support. Do you find it to be 645 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:05.039 cute? Do you find it to be I think it's nice. I mean 646 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.639 everybody just buys all in because that's all they It's all we have, right 647 00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:10.880 you can you can say it like that, that's all we have. And 648 00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:15.119 so that and you know, and the and the community as a whole does 649 00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:17.400 get behind it. Whereas you go to l A, they're split all over 650 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:21.000 the place. You know, U c l A fans or USC fans. 651 00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:22.840 There's Laker fans, there's Rams fans, right, you know, and and 652 00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:25.679 you know, you might be a football fan and hate all the other sports. 653 00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:30.039 Here you're you have a fan and you root for You've got a team 654 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:32.360 to root for all year around. And that's what makes Tucson or you have 655 00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:37.039 a cozy right, you know, kind of warm and feely, warm and 656 00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:39.920 fuzzy whatever. Yeah, because they're i mean, not living in a pro 657 00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:45.280 sports town. But from where I sit, I feel like somebody who's like 658 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:50.440 a die hard, wear a jersey every day Cardinals fan might not give one 659 00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:55.239 crap about the Suns, might not give one crap about the Diamondbacks or a 660 00:45:55.440 --> 00:46:00.079 s U. They only care about the Cardinals, and so the rest of 661 00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:04.760 the year, what are they doing? Right? Whereas again here, you 662 00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:07.119 know, if you follow football, then you move on to basketball, then 663 00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:13.360 you move on to baseball or softball or whatever, and so you've got really 664 00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:16.159 nine months out of the year where you've got a team to root for and 665 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:22.840 and and that to me, that's why I feel like it's more a part 666 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:27.000 of the overall community where people are talking about this stuff all the time wherever 667 00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:30.679 you go. I feel like not everybody I would agree with that, not 668 00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:32.639 everybody, but a lot of people, you know, uh, and and 669 00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:36.480 and you know, you can go up and you know, you can talk 670 00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:37.800 to somebody in the grocery store. Hey, you see the Wildcats city, 671 00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:40.199 Yeah, that was cool, you know, and you see there's a lot 672 00:46:40.239 --> 00:46:44.159 more of that. Then you know, you might you're gonna go You're gonna 673 00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.119 go to safe you're gonna see somebody in the Lakers jersey, but you're you 674 00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:49.280 know, you're a Rams fan, you don't really want to talk to them. 675 00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.960 So I think there's more people kind of it brings the community more together. 676 00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:54.760 That sounds kind of hokey and corny, but I really do think it 677 00:46:54.800 --> 00:47:00.880 does, because there's this one thing that you of a that get behind, 678 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:04.559 and New York's different than all that other places, probably because it's so many 679 00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:07.920 people there and you don't know who's where. When I went to the Final 680 00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:09.760 Four ninety five and you don't even know it is the Final Four in New 681 00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:13.960 York because there's just other things to do. Yeah, I didn't feel like, 682 00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.599 you know what I'm saying. It's also most teams, there's two teams 683 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:20.880 in the city, so it's like, oh it's split there too, right, 684 00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:23.559 So yeah, two NFL teams, two NBA teams, you major, 685 00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:27.719 So that's it splits it up even more. That's a good point. Yeah, 686 00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.000 So the allegiances are over the place, probably, you know, people 687 00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:35.119 fight more than they now. The New Yorkers that's what they live for. 688 00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:37.880 Yeah, that's what they live for exactly. Yeah, there gonna be a 689 00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.039 lot of New York jokes when you get behind the microphone, just so you 690 00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:43.960 know, be ready for all that, because Steve and I neither one of 691 00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.400 us are from anywhere like that at all, So it'll be fun. There 692 00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:50.840 will be jokes, and you know, he's guy, he's the one that's 693 00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:54.119 gonna be telling them. I don't know I married somebody from New Jersey. 694 00:47:54.199 --> 00:48:00.039 So there's that, and he's bitter about it. Yes, Okay, we've 695 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:04.679 got five minutes. Anybody who last call, last call for calls five people, 696 00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:07.000 This is your last shot at s feet for the week. He's going 697 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:08.920 to be out of here. Yeah, he's having his eighty fourth birthday tomorrow, 698 00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:15.880 so he's going to be gone for the next couple of days. Five 699 00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:20.159 four, one forty. That'll be good to hear from you guys before we 700 00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:22.320 leave today. Thank you Adam for your time with us. It was about 701 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:25.199 two months. Yeah, a lot of fun, A lot of fun. 702 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.400 To put this on the resume get something out of it. Oh absolutely, 703 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:36.039 I enjoyed it very much.

And just a 708 00:48:54.760 --> 00:48:58.840 couple of people, you know, the Neacs of the world exactly, and 709 00:48:58.880 --> 00:49:00.079 the Howard's. Yeah, hey, it's been fun having you know. I, 710 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.639 you know, I really like the fact that we've done this, Steve. 711 00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.199 I think the in terms of, you know, I've gotten something. 712 00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:08.239 They'll go into bigger, greater things. Maybe they'll come and take take good 713 00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:12.599 care of us later on down the road. You know, when she's you 714 00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.360 know, when she's behind the desk at the Kentucky Derby and stuff like that, 715 00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:20.480 you know, we'll she'll throw us a bone here. She'll be back 716 00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:23.199 on next week because of the breakness. Yep, yep. Yeah, she 717 00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:27.679 was great last week. She was fantastic. So we hope to hear from 718 00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:30.400 you guys wherever you guys reread. Yeah, it's been fun, all right, 719 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:35.920 so we'll be well, Okay, softball, I believe it's six thirty, 720 00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:37.800 but let me let me check it Realwardick, it's tomorrow night. Uh, 721 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:44.199 they've got Washington four seed versus five seeds. They're on Friday, Saturday, 722 00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:47.280 no, Yeah, Friday, Saturday Sunday up at Utah. Let me 723 00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:53.800 let me see softball. Yeah, six thirty tomorrow, Washington. You'll be 724 00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:58.480 able to watch that on the pack Off network. It'll be it'll be on 725 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:05.320 Arizona go goes to Utah. They start on Friday at up there, and 726 00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:09.400 it's a big series. I think Arizona's got a two game lead on Utah 727 00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:14.440 in the standings. They can you know, push them out of the out 728 00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:17.320 of the running for the league. But then you know, right coming right 729 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:22.239 up behind them a Stanford. So I mean not Stanford, Oregon State. 730 00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:28.320 Arizona seventeen and seven, Utah is fifteen and nine, Oregon State is fourteen 731 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:31.000 and I so they've got a game missing in there, probably from a rain 732 00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:35.199 out or something like that. NFL they would make I guess it wouldn't make 733 00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.920 it up, but you know that they're all bunched up up there, and 734 00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:44.039 then the local high schools are softball teams will be playing this week tonight. 735 00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:47.239 I think I just saw howr Andy Cdo is playing in Australia Foothills now in 736 00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:52.000 the semi finals of the baseball tournament. CDEO could win it back to back, 737 00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.519 Yeah to back, three back to back to back. Okay, so 738 00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:59.960 that's exciting to see. And then we'll see about the other schools as well. 739 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:01.920 So point I think still in it, yeah, and in other schools. 740 00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:06.039 So yeah, it's playoff time for everybody. So this is cool. 741 00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:10.440 Where high school in La I went out, you know, anybody still playing 742 00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:15.039 big time players? No, probably not, but they're a good baseball Okay. 743 00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:20.079 I thought maybe in football, anybody in the big time schools because only 744 00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:24.760 it's obviously for Yeah, we're close to like Calabasas area, but I haven't 745 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:29.599 been following lately. I don't know. Okay, okay, all right, 746 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:35.360 good, good week. Well three days man. But we started with Chris 747 00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:38.440 Rafts Statter.

I think it's going to 751 00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.199 be good for the good for the Bowl at least in terms of getting you 752 00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:57.519 know, getting the visibility that that they're looking for. So that's a very 753 00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:00.239 cool thing. We had just in spirits for about eight minutes yesterday.
