Yep, we're working the board though. Yeah, 15 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:00.920 it could be anything. So what do we got today? Just because we 16 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.879 didn't really say yeah, you know, um, just there was so much 17 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.760 going on that we had to talk about yesterday. We skipped a few things, 18 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.159 but one of those is that the Sugar Skulls won last Thursday, last 19 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.920 Saturday. I'm from behind when they were down big in the at halftime, 20 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:23.599 scored with about thirty seconds left and then well and then uh Vegas had a 21 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.200 chance to kick a field goal to win it and missed it, and so 22 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.000 the Sugar Skulls to win. So they're back in. They're back in the 23 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.560 playoff discussion. Another big game this week. They got Duke City coming in 24 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.719 where they lost to at home a few weeks ago. So, um, 25 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.239 we'll see what happens. So we're gonna have hurt us hurt his chin, 26 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:45.120 the head coach of the Sugar Skulls coming on at four o'clock during our normal 27 00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.200 breaking news segment. But we wanted to get him and talk to him talk 28 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.599 a little bit about last week because again that was a huge win. Rashi 29 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.519 Hodge, You Obey defensive back made a made a very important interception. Cool 30 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.359 the the Nighthawks were going in for a game clinching score and you picked off 31 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.760 a pass in the end zone gave his Sugar Skulls a chance to go down 32 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.759 and get elite go ahead score. So um, Hurdis will come in and 33 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.560 talk about last weekend, the upcoming game on Saturday, the two Songs, 34 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.000 and then FC two Songs. We're talking to both, you know, the 35 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.240 two the two uh Pro franchises that are that are going right now here in 36 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.719 town. And uh Art Biagi, the first year coach FC two Songs, 37 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.719 come up and talk to us. It's interesting to have a chat with him 38 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.680 for one. Yeah, a lot of things going on over there doing well. 39 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.800 Okay, how about them Nuggets? How about them Nuggets? Man that 40 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.560 they didn't mess around. They just went out there and beat the hell out 41 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.080 of it. I think they just they just realized that didn't play well in 42 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.560 Game two and then they wanted to show. Yeah, so we'll see. 43 00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.960 I think the pivotal game is this Friday. I think it's over five and 44 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.039 five, could be six. I don't know. I think the Nuggets win 45 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.360 tomorrow. I think the Nuggets win tomorrow and then oh then if if they 46 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:57.800 win tomorrow, yeah, then so look the we talked about yesterday, the 47 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.879 heat. They've had a nice run and then it's an incredible run. Barely 48 00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.199 got into the into the you know, into the playoffs, and now they're 49 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:08.199 in the finals Um, you know, I'm sure they want to win it. 50 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.000 They're gonna feel bad if they don't. But on the other hand, 51 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.240 you know, who would have thought that we're gonna get as far as they 52 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:15.840 did. So if you're listen to this in Miami, don't turn us off. 53 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.120 Okay, Well you know no, I mean no, you know you 54 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.759 get that close, right, you want to win it? Oh? Yeah, 55 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.840 of course, you know, even if even if you were not supposed 56 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.759 to be there, you still feel like once you're there, you should win 57 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.840 the dang thing, right and uh, and because you feel like if you 58 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.319 got, if you got, you're good enough to get there, you're good 59 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.919 enough to think right, right. It reminds me of a little of this 60 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.000 back in ninety seven when Arizona uh beat the odds and blah blah blah, 61 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.840 beat beat Kansas and then beat Providence and then beat beat North Carolina taking the 62 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.800 Semis right, uh, and Loote tells everybody, well, I guess we're 63 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.159 gonna play on Monday. Yeah, what else do we have to do? 64 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:57.199 Right as right? And that's what they did and they did, you know, 65 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.840 and then you know, and then so many other teams you know, 66 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.800 you you know, I mean, you don't even get there, so you 67 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.960 know, good for the heat. Um, you know, maybe maybe something 68 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.199 to build on. Did you beat them because you were talking about it? 69 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.000 I didn't, you know, it just it just comes down to it. 70 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.920 I'm a big chicken. Um when I don't feel like I know enough to, 71 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.120 you know, to feel good about it, right, I mean, 72 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.360 you know, as bad as I am at some of the other stuff, 73 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.000 at least I feel like I know what the hell I'm doing. I didn't. 74 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.959 I don't. I I don't know, you know. And I'm sitting 75 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.720 here saying I think it's gonna be done in five, you know, meaning 76 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.399 that the Nuggets should win the next two. But you know, I'm not 77 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.439 willing. I don't think. Don't touch it, don't talk about it. 78 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.160 Okay, So how much how much of your winnings will you give me if 79 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.800 I don't touch it? No, you're not, you're not. But I'm 80 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:46.279 gonna go beat on the Nuggets the rest of the rest of the series. 81 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.000 You can't hold me host I can if I want, so. You can 82 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:58.240 bleed twice blee twice of you trouble so um, yeah, you know, 83 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.399 they just look so good, you know, Yeah, yeah, you know 84 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.959 again, and that's kind of a team they are though you know, they 85 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.920 don't they they're not flashy, they're not splashy. They're not you know, 86 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.759 they don't have the splash brothers. They don't have Lebron, they don't you 87 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.240 don't have the big dude, that big That dude just plays right. He 88 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.959 just makes He just makes shots, He scores, he gets rebounds and assists. 89 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.959 The reason why though I didn't, I didn't bet him because that I 90 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.480 bet him because of Murray. Uh, the last couple of years he had 91 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.000 been hurt. No one really thought about that or talked about that. And 92 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.560 I said, well, they're the best team in the in the league for 93 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.480 a reason. I want a lot of those games won the West for a 94 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.040 reason. And he's healthy if he doesn't get hurt. And I hate the 95 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.000 game. But he's been fantastic too, you know, and everybody else has 96 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.000 kind of fall into place. Yeah and yeah, and so you know, 97 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:51.199 it's just again, there's nothing exciting about the Nuggets, right, Nothing that 98 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.160 makes you not even Aaron Gordon, who are exciting, right, nothing that 99 00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:00.079 makes you jump off the couch, right. But they're just dang good and 100 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:01.519 you can't deny that, and they're gonna be good for a walk. They're 101 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.959 gonna be good for a walk. You've got guys that are gonna be around 102 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.360 from Yeah, sometimes boring is good. It can be. Boarding is good 103 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.680 because you win. But you know, and then so often, you know, 104 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.399 and in so many cases, people get you know, they get bored 105 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.000 with success. You know, you wonder, how, let's say they have 106 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.199 a couple of good years like that, does the team break up? Well, 107 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.879 that's what we talked about with the with the Golden State Warriors. Right, 108 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.199 they win all these things and you say, well, the dynasty, 109 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.519 dynasty, and then things happen, they fight and they punch and blah blah 110 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:31.600 blah, and you're thinking, as well, this is the end of the 111 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.319 dynasty. Yeah, so we'll see. In fact, we're trying to get 112 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:39.199 ahold of Curve too, so maybe next week or so. So, you 113 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:45.480 know, it's it's just it's just it's not sexy to watch. But you 114 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.480 know, if you have an appreciation for really good team team basketball, right, 115 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.959 they're a star star two, they're fun to watch. Yeah. Yeah, 116 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.279 okay, oh, today we want some calls. If you want to 117 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.879 call, please do. The first hour is gonna be pretty much call call 118 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.879 available. No interview in the first hour. We have two in the second 119 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.439 hour with the guys you just mentioned, So if you guys want to give 120 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.040 us a call. Howard sent me a note jay he's on a three month 121 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:17.879 sabbatical from us, not listening to us. He's a self imposed he's still 122 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.759 listening. I think. I don't know. He could be. He might 123 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.199 be. I'm not sure he's not calling us. First few minutes. Yeah, 124 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.439 the fact that I might be a good thing for us. Well, 125 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.800 and again there's so you know, there's still a lot of buzz going on 126 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:34.360 about about the realignment stuff and yeah, yeah, the TV deal stuff. 127 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:39.319 I'll just ask you something about that. Okay, So I gotta text this 128 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.279 morning from somebody just kind of my my thoughts on it. And I'm not 129 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.800 bursting it well enough, but I'm thinking, don't you think or would you 130 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:47.800 believe this that? Okay, you hear all the rumors, you've heard him 131 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:51.279 for months now, right, wheel Nurse talked, Kenzano's talked. Do we 132 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.079 have a local guys who've talked throw this stuff out there? And I don't 133 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.160 really pay attention because just tell me where to go and I'll go um, 134 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.199 but that that, like doctor Robbins said, he didn't even know about these 135 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.959 stunt things. Do you think with Lyle without lying to the media, that 136 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.319 there's people out there that have to kind of shut down the leaks because the 137 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.360 leaks might be true, but you can't have the leaks come out. Right. 138 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.360 We've been in this business long enough to know that's a possibility, of 139 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.680 course. It is like like I've been thinking about Robin's comments and I kind 140 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.360 of went through him again and he it's kind of like he was saying, 141 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.839 we don't have a deal on paper, and they don't and they don't write 142 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.360 nobody says so he's saying, I, you know, I don't know if 143 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.600 you know, we don't have a done deal. Well he's probably he's right, 144 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.480 But nobody's saying the deal is done. Everybody's saying there's an agreement and 145 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.240 principle, all the all the issues are resolved. Now it's just navigating the 146 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.000 TV deal done because they're still reporting that. A Stuart Mandel, you know, 147 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.919 had an article this morning saying it's done, you know, not the 148 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.759 TV deal, but the grant of rights that allows them to get the TV 149 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.000 deal done and so you know, so that's kind of the next piece. 150 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.360 If something does happen, how soon do you think it will happen? Oh 151 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.559 you mean no, it's gotta it's gonna happen for twenty four because this is 152 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.679 it, this would be it. It's got to get done now, because 153 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.240 it's for next year. No, I'm talking about I'm talking about the Arizona 154 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.919 leaving and everything's moving. Won that won't be until some of these uh, 155 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.480 some of these deals expire again, like the so you you could be Big 156 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.879 twelve deal and the Big ten deal they're like for five years, So this 157 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.799 won't happen forever for a long time. The Arizona won't leave. It then 158 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.120 in Colorado or whomever. If Arizona, if Arizona gets stays in the PAC 159 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.799 twelve under a new deal here, okay, okay, they're not gonna leave 160 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.639 at least for the duration whatever. No, no, no, no, 161 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:48.720 okay, let's assume for second they're gonna leave, that they were gonna leave. 162 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.279 It would happen. It would be next It wouldn't be tomorrow, it 163 00:09:52.320 --> 00:10:01.559 would be for next year the season, because yeah, July one or June 164 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:09.000 thirty, Okay, that's what I'm saying, so those schools are onlander contracts, 165 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.600 one last year in this league and then moving on if they were to 166 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.320 move if they were to move on, Yeah, okay, that's that's pretty 167 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:16.960 quick. I mean USC had two years, right, but they said, 168 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.639 let's get the heck out of jobs. Yeah, the same with Oklahoma Texas's 169 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.840 and that and the reason USC and UCLA are still in the league because the 170 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.799 current contract required them to stay in the league. Uh, you know, 171 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.919 we are paying a huge penalty and nobody nobody wanted on the scale of one 172 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.639 to ten, and we just keep an eye on the phones, um one 173 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.639 to ten. And I know you want you know, how how I care? 174 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.240 I kind of don't because just tell me to go to the game and 175 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.480 tell me who's gonna play. I'll be there. You've been anxious because you 176 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.399 just want to know. Right, But that said, how critical is the 177 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.960 news outside of you wanted to know? Did you care? Did you care? 178 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.320 Because I asked, well, I know this is a dumb question, 179 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.759 a weird question, but that's when how big is a story? Is this 180 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.360 to you? And he's been on top of it doing whatever, and he 181 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.399 says it's the biggest story because of the magnitude of the story. Right, 182 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.879 But at the end of the day, I don't agree with you. No, 183 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.000 no, no, no, Yes, I think it's question. I 184 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.240 think it's a huge deal because I think it's a huge deal, particularly you 185 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.960 know, because of what Arizona one, because you know, we've been in 186 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:37.200 this league for nearly fifty years. Right. Um. To me, I'm 187 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.279 a traditionalist. I'm a purist. I love the tradition of of of college 188 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.759 athletics, and I love the fact I love where Arizona has been all this 189 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.320 time, as hard as it's been. You know, we had the conversation 190 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.840 who had you know, who's had a better a better run in the in 191 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.000 the PAC twelve? From PAC ten, PAC twelve, Arizona as here. 192 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.720 I've enjoyed. It's it's really I mean, this is gonna sound kind of 193 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.159 stew but it maybe a little uh um, maybe I'm a loser about this, 194 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.879 but it's added a lot to my life to be following Arizona athletics in 195 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.279 the pack. That's maybe the question I was kind of asking you the impact 196 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.360 it will have on your life. Once it said okay, what what what 197 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:24.519 next? For you? I could see I could see myself losing some not 198 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:30.159 not interest, but not being as fanatic if they go to the Big twelve 199 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.559 because I don't care about those two. And that's kind of my point. 200 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.240 You lose a girlfriend and you find a new girlfriend, but she's not as 201 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.960 dynamic as a past girlfriend. I just don't feel like I'm gonna be all 202 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.440 that excited about That's my point. Turning on the TV. That's kind of 203 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.759 my point. But but it's important to me because it's gonna piss me off 204 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.600 if I'm not. If I'm turning on the TV to watch him play Texas 205 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.240 Tech instead of Oregon and US, well that's the option. You're gonna either 206 00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:00.440 watch to play Washington Stay or Texas Teck. So why why be worked up 207 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.720 about it? That's kind of the fans stuff. I still want to play 208 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.519 Oregon. I still want to play Washingtons. I want to play San Diego 209 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.720 State. So you want, given the choice, given the dream or whatever, 210 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.320 you would stay and be fine with it. And if they go, 211 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.000 it's gonna be If they go, they go, it's it'll be cool for 212 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.080 basketball, but it's not gonna be cool for a football And that's what what 213 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.639 kind of impact it's gonna be football. It's gonna kind of be Yeah, 214 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.360 I mean it's gonna you know. I mean, look, we've played those 215 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:35.519 teams. You know, we've played UH Texas Tech and TCU. Do you're 216 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.440 gonna have a better chance I'm winning that league than they do in the Pac 217 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.480 twelve. No, in football, I know they do not. And that's 218 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.960 another reason I want them to stay in the Pac twelve. The road and 219 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.120 this is why I can't. This is one of the things that, uh 220 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.120 why I think USC in UCLA made a mistake. The road to a playoff 221 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.919 in football is a hundred times easier in the Pac twelve than it is in 222 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.759 the Big ten or the Big But while you're at it, while you're training 223 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.799 it, you're gonna get paid to try to do it. Yeah, you're 224 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.399 gonna get paid. Look, I don't if they go because the deal in 225 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.399 the Pac twelve isn't good enough. I don't blame them. I just would 226 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.519 rather than not. What do you mean if they go, they're going, 227 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.159 if they go to the Big twelve Arizona, Oh no, no, no, 228 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.480 I'm sorry. The two that we just talked about. Yeah, the 229 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:20.320 transition, you it. If Arizona were to go to the Big twelve. 230 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.000 I you know, I wouldn't like it. Yeah, I'd rather say you're 231 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.639 you're you're stuck in a hard place because they could very well leave. Oh 232 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.200 I know they can't, and I and I, you know what, and 233 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.360 I'll accept it. I probably won't like it as much. I'm not gonna 234 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.960 like going to you know, love Buck instead of Eugene, right or you 235 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.679 know, or you know, wake On instead of Seattle. I'm not gonna 236 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.200 like that. I'm probably not gonna go to those places anyways. Yeah, 237 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.879 okay, we gotta go. All right, let's no, we don't know, 238 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.840 we don't have to go, but but we will. We choose to 239 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.320 go, so yeah, let's go and get out of here. Wouldn't come 240 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:07.200 back, and I don't know why, but we'll be back.

You wanted to stay in the Pack twelve, you used to the 302 00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.960 Pack twelve. I don't disagree that basketball should be a lot of fun, 303 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:49.039 right That would be a basketball should be a lot of fun, you know, 304 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.920 and and uh in Texas Tech Tech. Yeah, in Houston and all 305 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.680 those teams over here for home games. That should be a lot of fun. 306 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.960 Okay, here is Baylor. Yeah, hi on the air and I 307 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.440 on the ball. Yeah, it must have been something I said. No, 308 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.359 we will work, you say, now, we don't have the kid 309 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.200 in here working the buttons. It's me and so anything can happen.

I missed you tuesday. Hey. 312 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.519 Hey, by the way, I sent you a text. I didn't get 313 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:27.240 it last week about an ad Oh no, I didn't get it. I 314 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.920 didn't get it, resended, I didn't get it. No, you didn't 315 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:33.160 know. You didn't read it. That's right. No, no, no, 316 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.880 you know I love you. Your your checks cash, Yes, I 317 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.759 know they do. It didn't take it. Didn't take you along either, 318 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:48.960 Right? What do you got, guy? What do you got? What? 319 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:55.160 What are you gonna give me a cab? Are you back on the 320 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.599 air? Yeah, you're on the air. Oh I thought I thought you 321 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.319 guys were off the air. No, no, I no, I answer 322 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:07.720 that you're on the air. And I really think that going to the Big 323 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.480 twelve would be great for Arizona football, and I'll tell you why. The 324 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:18.400 exposure will be a whole lot bigger um and it'll take him a year or 325 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.240 two to get acclimated, but it will improve the quality of football, and 326 00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:29.920 it'll draw a lot more fans to Arizona football than currently with the PAC twelve. 327 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:40.680 Number one, because baseball and softball will also benefit, because again, 328 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:48.359 you're talking about an mindset of the Big twelve in sports that I don't get 329 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.640 comfortable with. With the PAC twelve. I've always thought as the PAC twelve 330 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.799 is more of a softer environment. I think the Big twelve, you know, 331 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:03.279 the Big ten, as he acc those are sports environments and I think 332 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.240 it would be a great coup for Arizona to go there. So why the 333 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.920 fans bis you think that? Why do you think more fans will come for? 334 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.440 That? Will be part of that, because it's it's just a mentality 335 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.319 of I've been in Texas, I've been to the Cotton Bowl several times, 336 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.519 I've been to Tech, I've been to Lubbock watching the football game. That 337 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:29.319 environment transitions, they travel, They travel far better than the Pact twelve will 338 00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:37.359 travel and that will bring an enthusiasm and I guess a competition to the Arizona 339 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.680 fans that we really haven't had. I mean nothing against USC, UCLA and 340 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.920 all the other teams, but the Big twelve is a different world. And 341 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.720 I think it would be a big coup for Arizona and Arizona State to go 342 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:56.400 over there and be part of this environment because it will elevate the exposure, 343 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.000 it'll bring more talent, it'll bring big the fund raging and there to bring 344 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.240 a mindset in the mentality that we don't get out of the Pac twelve. 345 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.240 I will give you that because you're right. You know the Pac twelve. 346 00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:14.559 You know their fan bases, aren't you know? Uh, they're not rabid. 347 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.960 They don't bleed with their teams. The way even the Big twelve does 348 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.640 is certainly not the way the ACC and the Big Fan. But I'll give 349 00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.759 you this two just because Tucson is one of those. They didn't grow up 350 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.119 here. They're from somewhere else, right, And a lot of them are 351 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.839 from the Big twelve, Big ten countries where you know, I will brought 352 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.279 a lot of fans, and teams like that would bring a lot of fans. 353 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.680 Yeah, And So I agree with all of that because it will change 354 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.880 sort of change the dynamic of you know, football games. Their fans will 355 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:47.119 travel. You know, Texas Tech fans will come here. If Baylor, 356 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:48.920 if they're good, they'll come here. You know we've seen, uh, 357 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.079 you know some of those other schools. You know. It's so yes, 358 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.119 I agree with all that because you know, UCLA fans come to Tucson and 359 00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.480 there's like eighty of them and they're nice. You know. Well, let 360 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.839 me you Rick, you said, Rick, you said that the transition may 361 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.720 take a couple of years. Arizona will have to get tougher. Duffer Jeffer, 362 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:14.440 Ye, how long do you think they will get tougher? Because they're 363 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:19.079 gonna be Tech, They're gonna be playing even in baseball and softball. The 364 00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.880 mentality is a whole lot different in the South than when you look in the 365 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.559 Big twelve. I've been to Oklahoma. I mean, good heavens, those 366 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:33.079 people they eat, drinks, smoke, they do everything for Oklahoma sports. 367 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:40.119 Texas, all of them, Texas Tech. I mean, you look at 368 00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.799 Texas Tech, you look at Texas A and M. You look at Baylor, 369 00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:48.519 you look at Tech. Texas. I'm telling you Texas footballers. Those 370 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:53.960 ugly orange uniforms. Fans all wear them. Yeah, no, I hear 371 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.960 you, and I'm not you'll for instance, I know, I know I 372 00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.200 was not in the Big twelve, they're in the Big ten. But I 373 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:02.960 just remember that I will get we had here in the studtures. I mean, 374 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.839 they were everywhere well, and they weren't the nuts. Look at the 375 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.599 Dakota State that there is. It's just people in those areas. Now Arizona 376 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:17.920 will have to it's fan base will have to get more more rabbits to get 377 00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.240 up their too. Yeah, we'll have to up their game. And so 378 00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:23.240 yes, I completely agree with you on that. I just still think that 379 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:30.000 from a football standpoint, if if Arizona wants to, Arizona will be able 380 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.240 to compete better. I guess is what I'm saying. In the Pac twelve 381 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.319 or in the Pac ten or whatever it is, there'll there'll be a bigger 382 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.880 dog, at least initially. I don't know for how long or if they 383 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.000 if it'll stay that way, or what will end up happening, you know, 384 00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.359 a few years down the road. But you know, if, for 385 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.039 instance, if trying to get to the playoff is the goal, now in 386 00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.880 football, they've got a better shot at in the staying in the Pac twelve 387 00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:56.759 than going to the big twelve. That's how I feel. Yeah, and 388 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.880 I and I and I don't think that's the case either because frankly, they 389 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.480 haven't been successful in the pack twelve, back ten or whatever it is. 390 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:11.319 Right, and the reality is they since Dick told me was here, so 391 00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:15.759 and and we just if you want to learn how to fight, you don't 392 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.240 you go to fight the big boys. You don't fight with the little guy. 393 00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:25.160 Well, you're a little guy. So no, I'm talking about that. 394 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:26.720 No, I'm saying you'll have to learn how to be a big boy. 395 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:29.799 You will have because you're not. You're not a big boy. It 396 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.119 will change it. It maybe change it for the better. Maybe it does 397 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:36.720 become more fun. I'm still not looking forward going to love it. You 398 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:42.839 remember when Oklahoma was here and what nineteen it was. Yeah, it's like 399 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:48.920 nineteen eighty nine or nine when Oklahoma was here. Yeah, I mean the 400 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.079 fan base crawled out from the woodwork just to get seats to that game, 401 00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:57.799 right, and it was a great game. We won six to three. 402 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:03.000 Ye I sat next to Barry Switzer. As a matter of fact, they 403 00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.480 gave me seats in the red zone and it turned out to be the Oklahoma 404 00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:11.799 base and there I am next and I'm literally sitting next to Barry Switzer and 405 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.359 what a gentleman, and the fans with first class. But I'm telling you, 406 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.359 the fans show up and A would be great for Arizona sports. I 407 00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:25.799 always knew you were name dropper. Rick, Hey, thanks for going. 408 00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:27.960 Thank you Send me that text, Send me that text. I didn't get 409 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.960 have a good days. Send me that text again, Rick said, I 410 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:38.960 mean said some smart things there. I do agree that you know Pac twelve 411 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.559 football versus Big twelve football in terms of you know, the way the fan 412 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.960 bases are and the important to the fans. Yes, it's a it's at 413 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.119 another level. Even in the big flow. If you're gonna rate the five 414 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.359 Power or five conferences on their fans, Pac twel is at the bottom. 415 00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:59.839 You know, even if USC fan doesn't travel well, it's not that they're 416 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:04.960 in different there there's two fan base, two football fan bases that travel well. 417 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:10.240 Washington and Oregon. That's it. Everybody you know Stanford, you know, 418 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.839 you can't find anybody from Stanford here and call the same way the band 419 00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:18.240 show up and about forty other people. Yeah, no, it's it's uh, 420 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.640 it's not good. It's just a different mindset here. Even the quality 421 00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.079 of players. It's more soft than anybody that's go East. And they're they're 422 00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.319 gonna have to recruit those type of guys that are gonna be wanting to come 423 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.400 here to play in that league. Well, you know, I mean the 424 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.559 big question becomes because you're playing again, we're this is just an assumption. 425 00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.720 Anybody who's just turning on the radio and we're talking about Arizona being in the 426 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.559 Big Twelve, they're not. We're just talking about what if let's take this 427 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:51.640 call about ourselves. Yeah, we missed the call. Sorry, I get 428 00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:52.799 us a call back. Well we'll pick it up. I got our eye 429 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:59.279 on the on the light now. Um, you know, let's assuming Arizona 430 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.839 does go to the Big twelve. Is it going to help him recruit Texas 431 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.599 and Oklahoma and those places yesterday? I don't know, they too will helped 432 00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:11.440 up their game with those types about this, you know, and maybe they'll 433 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:15.839 get those because they're in the league. Here, go get all right higher 434 00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.440 on the Aaron on the ball. Oh great, hey, yeah, First 435 00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:26.640 off, your show is great. I love having a local talk radio show 436 00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:40.599 about sports and that I um so okay, But we want to talk about 437 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:45.440 the fact that that Aaron Judge got hurt running through a fence at Dodger Stadium 438 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.279 and is that a coincidence or not? Is that what we're going You know, 439 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.880 first off, I love that he did that. Man, he's just 440 00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:59.599 an all out player, Yes he is. So what about what about the 441 00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.640 Yankee? Well, really, I was just calling to tell you guys that 442 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.960 I love your show.

I gotta tell you, George, I am lost on Texas hold 448 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.799 him. I am lost. I have no idea.

You know, I had, I 466 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:57.759 had, I had that happened to me in high school once, uh you 467 00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.960 know, just uh Texas. It was just seven cards and I had I 468 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:08.279 had a full house and it was like kings and something kind and beat me 469 00:32:08.319 --> 00:32:10.680 on it and I'm throwing I threw up. I basically threw like all my 470 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:15.160 next week's lunch money and the week after that lunch money, and I lost 471 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:19.279 Dad, Dad, I need some more. I was. I was so 472 00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:21.720 I remember, I remember like it was yesterday. I was so upset. 473 00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.400 I left the party. Haven't played since slid. Yeah, I'm you know, 474 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:29.720 I've never been a serious I you know, I mean, we played 475 00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:31.720 poker in high school, you know that kind of you know, Nichols dimes 476 00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:37.880 quarters kind of thing. But um, I've only twice played poker in the 477 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.319 casino and had a bad experience both times. One time about an eighty five 478 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:46.599 year old lady just smoked, and then the other time, um, I 479 00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:50.680 had I had, I was going. It was me and another guy and 480 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.759 I had three of a kind, and you know, we turned them. 481 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.960 I turned over my three of a kind and he goes, I have two 482 00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:01.720 pair and these is two pairs of ten. Yeah, two pairs. When 483 00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:05.519 he said two pair, I'm I'm already starting to reach for the money. 484 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:07.839 Then he said two pairs of tens and he flips them over. The dealer 485 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.960 looked at me like, those were the goods you want to kick through. 486 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:15.079 The dealer looked at me like I don't make me call security, okay, 487 00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.079 because I will call security. You know. I just picked up my stuff 488 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.599 and left up. It was the only two times that I played in a 489 00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:25.400 casine call in a show. Hi, you're on the R and I on 490 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:30.359 the ball. How's it going today? What's up, Brian? What's going 491 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:36.759 on? Well? Uh, there's soul back twelve thing. Um, you 492 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:38.440 know, I don't know what's going to happen. What do you what do 493 00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:42.079 you let me? What do you want to happen? What do you want 494 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.880 to have? I have another question, Big twelve? You want to go 495 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.400 to the Big twelve? Why? Yes? I do? Why? Okay, 496 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.319 I'm not too excited about the quality a product we're going to have in 497 00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:59.240 the back and twelve whoever hell it is? Yeah, Um, I mean 498 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:06.839 it's it's not so much okay that the team's travel sort of well. In 499 00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.719 the fact, twelve not great, Arizona does travel pretty well. Um. 500 00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:17.159 I also think that this whole thing, the contract people don't realize when we 501 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.440 get to the streaming service, everything is going to change. You just can't 502 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:29.320 pop on the tv. There are but that's gonna happen. But that's going 503 00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:34.239 to happened anyway. And pretty soon ESPN is going to be a streaming service. 504 00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:37.599 But that's going to happen whether no matter what happens with the coming with 505 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.440 the TV deals that are happening right now, the next round of TV deals, 506 00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.199 there's gonna be so much streaming because that's where that's where television in general 507 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.599 is going. ESPN is doing it right, that's where television in general's going. 508 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.239 That's not going to be affected by We're just gonna have to get used 509 00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:54.880 to it. That's how we're gonna watch television. Yeah, you know, 510 00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:00.760 but I just can't see the quality of team that we're gonna bring and to 511 00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:06.960 the conference to make up for losing UCLA and US brands. Right, you're 512 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.320 right, you know. And I mean you could take San Diego State great, 513 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.280 I mean, uh, that's special. Then we're taking that basically for 514 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:20.679 the southern California market and that's it. I don't know if their sports are 515 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:23.920 that great. So if you look at who else, who else are gonna 516 00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:30.320 take and takes MU, you know, GCU, whatever, you know, 517 00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:34.800 let me ask you another thank you. I think you're better off going to 518 00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:37.880 the Big twelve where they Okay, we would not be hurt The basketball would 519 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:40.760 be very good in the Big twelve, no doubt about that. If you 520 00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.639 take us a while to catch up in football, you know, taking us 521 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:47.639 a while to catch up in the Back twelve too. Let me ask you 522 00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:52.400 one question, so too, the softball would be good. They have good 523 00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:57.960 softball in the fact, I mean the Big twelve. Um, you know, 524 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:00.599 I just think the other sports would be good too, big name schools 525 00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:05.039 and they you know, it'd be nice to have Baylor come out of here 526 00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:08.239 and play football, or Texas Tech or I mean, of course you won't 527 00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:15.880 have Texas and Oklahoma is they're leaving. But I think you better grab yourself 528 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:21.639 to a conference soon because as soon as that a SEC decide to expand again, 529 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.360 everything is going to change again. The Big Gun is going to change. 530 00:36:24.599 --> 00:36:29.000 They're gonna go after Washington and Oregon. They have no choice. Yeah, 531 00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:30.519 yeah, Bryan, let me ask you one quick question before we go. 532 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.480 Make it short though. Okay, So let's the super a second, 533 00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:39.039 and this assumption Arizona goes issue stays upon further review. After the forty some 534 00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:43.440 years, for the years together in the Pac twelve, who had it better 535 00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:53.719 athletically overall? Yeah, across the board, Arizona. Why, I think 536 00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:59.079 if you look at as smart, they had some good years in football in 537 00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:02.480 the nineties. He has not been any kind of abortion football for the last 538 00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:09.000 fifteen twenty years. Either has their basketball teams here hasn't. Their baseball team 539 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:13.519 hasn't been matched. The girls softball team on the national a couple of national 540 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:19.880 championships. Yeah, but otherwise there's their sports aren't any They're not any better 541 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:23.320 than ours. I mean, our football program hasn't been very good that our 542 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:29.159 basketball program has, our baseball program has. Our softball program besides the last 543 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:34.199 few years has been very good. It's a close call. I think it's 544 00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.239 a close It's a relatively close call. But I still I agree with Brian. 545 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:39.840 I think it's I think Arizona has had a better go. Yeah, 546 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:45.599 okay, all right, Brian say wants to stay to be the big dog 547 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.679 and a mediocre gog And that's what That's exactly what we talked about. Absolutely. 548 00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:51.679 Okay, thanks for Brian. We got to go to break. Thanks 549 00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:55.639 so much, man. Okay, all right, we do have to go 550 00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.480 to break. So you know what, and look, most of the people 551 00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:00.800 down into Sony are gonna say that, yeah, you go up to temp. 552 00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.639 They're gonna say they might went to two rose balls and you haven't been 553 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:07.400 to one, and they might have valid points that we don't see. Yeah, 554 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:13.320 yeah, they Like I said, I again, I think that outside 555 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.519 of football and basketball, it's kind of even. Yeah, right, so 556 00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:21.320 I think again, basketball has been way better in Tucson. In football, 557 00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.079 Ace who has been a little better than Arizona. So I know, all 558 00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:27.159 right, let's take a break and we'll come right back. If you're an 559 00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:30.639 Arizona man's basketball fan, you know it's been successful for nearly forty years. 560 00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:32.840 Now take a look back at the Ludolson era.

We're gonna spend some of the last 607 00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:52.639 ten minutes here talking about bricking news. We have a little bit, right, 608 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:55.760 Yeah, we have our callers starting a four and then four fifteen issues. 609 00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:59.199 Right, well, okay, so right, Artist channel comin at the 610 00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:00.920 top of the hour, head coach of the Sugar Sculls at four o'clock, 611 00:42:01.280 --> 00:42:05.760 and then Mark Biaggi, head coach of FC Tucson, coming on. Well, 612 00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:07.719 probably we're like four to plenty, so we'll talk to both of those 613 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:14.119 guys. So m but interesting stuff. Today, the Big Ten announced its 614 00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:19.880 football schedule for next year when USC and UCLA are in the league, not 615 00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:24.000 in terms of dates, but who's playing who and where in the first year 616 00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.719 under the league. So obviously those of us who are wishing the worst for 617 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:34.960 Ucla USC and hoping that their schedule sucks, here's here's what it looks like. 618 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:37.639 And look again, this is just way it's gonna be, you know, 619 00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:38.760 forever and never. Right, they're gonna these are the road trips that 620 00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:42.960 they're gonna have to play. But USC and his first year in the league, 621 00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:45.599 will have five road games, with one of those being UCLA, so 622 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:52.840 it's across town. The four the other four road games for USC are Maryland, 623 00:42:53.159 --> 00:43:00.480 Far Northwestern, Far, Penn State, Far Further, and Purdue, 624 00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:05.559 So they got Maryland, Northwestern, Penn State, Purdue, and UCLA. 625 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.440 Their home games are Illinois, Iowa, Michigan which will be a big deal, 626 00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.519 right and Wisconsin. But you know that's the you know, that's their 627 00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:17.880 uh, that's road. But then the teams that they'll play again the following 628 00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:22.320 year, so they're called two play opponents, so you're playing back to back 629 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:24.880 and everybody else gets rotated. So they've got to play Penn State, UCLA 630 00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:30.079 and Wisconsin in back to back years. They'll always play Ucla. Everybody's got 631 00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:37.440 your protected um A protected rival. UCLA only has four home games, but 632 00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:43.000 I'm only four road games. But they're at Indiana, at Iowa, Michigan, 633 00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:46.239 and Rutgers, so they got to go all the way to New Jersey. 634 00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:51.039 I guarantee you or I should say this is probably safe to say that 635 00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:54.519 UILA is gonna struggle. Well you look at their home schedule. Okay, 636 00:43:54.559 --> 00:44:00.519 they've got Minnesota, who's been good, but they've got on top, playing 637 00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:05.679 Michigan on the road. They've got Ohio State at home, and they USC. 638 00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:07.440 But I'm saying they'll struggle a lot for a long time. Yeah, 639 00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:12.159 Yeah, they're gonna be. They're gonna be Missouri in the like Missouri in 640 00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.239 the SEC. You know, they may get up and play and win eight 641 00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:19.000 games here and there, but they're you know, they're, they're they're they 642 00:44:19.079 --> 00:44:22.400 haven't been good in the Pack twelve. You know, they haven't been as 643 00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:24.760 good as it should be, right right, you know, I mean Arizona 644 00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:30.719 be them last year. It's all you need to say. But yeah, 645 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:32.880 and I just did. But you know, again, you look at the 646 00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:36.159 but you look at the schedule. I mean, okay, you know that's 647 00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:38.239 what you were. That's what we're gonna have to do. So now they've 648 00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:42.079 got to play Rutgers back to back. They got to play Nebraska back to 649 00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:45.360 back. If Nebraska gets good, you know, your CLA is way down 650 00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:49.440 the list, you know, and they will be the Arizona of the pack. 651 00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:52.480 You know what, that's a crap thing to say. True, that's 652 00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.719 a real crap thing to say. It's true. I don't care if it's 653 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:59.639 true. It's still a crap thing to say. To bring in a perspective, 654 00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:02.280 folks. You know, you on me. Just come around you you 655 00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:07.800 know where there's a different looking these three foot again. It's right now we're 656 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.159 starting to find out. Okay, these are the travel plans. But really 657 00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:15.280 again, when you think to me, the travel for football and even basketball, 658 00:45:15.880 --> 00:45:20.199 not a big deal. They're gonna travel, they're gonna charter all that 659 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:24.000 stuff. It's when the volleyball team has to get on a commercial flight and 660 00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:30.039 you know, having a three hour layover coming and going and all that stuff. 661 00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:34.079 That's the stuff that's gonna be concerned for the students. Concerned for the 662 00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:43.679 students. But I really am you know, look, dude, I you 663 00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:45.880 know we used to have getting on a bus and go to OHO every year. 664 00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:52.360 That's now that's crucial. Where are you going? We went to Valley 665 00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:55.880 Union down there in uh in Alfrida. These are not the top those times. 666 00:45:55.920 --> 00:46:01.800 Man had to go to Safford uh Pima then not Pima College. I'm 667 00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:06.519 talking Pima over there by the Copper mind, which there isn't a fast way 668 00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:08.880 to get there from here. You got to go into big circle, um, 669 00:46:09.079 --> 00:46:12.880 and you walked to school and your bare feeble and you know, I 670 00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.239 mean we would get our we would get our kids home at eleven o'clock at 671 00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:20.800 ninth and they'd have to go to school the next morning. And tough times. 672 00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:22.599 Yeah, that was just like recent too. Yeah that was not that 673 00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:27.079 long ago. Actually was It's been a while, you know, but both 674 00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.360 my kids are going on being out of school ten years. So anyways, 675 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:35.159 it's just you know, okay, the part that doesn't make sense, it's 676 00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:37.400 not the football and basketball park, it's the rest. It's the rest of 677 00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.440 it. It doesn't make it. Well, the other guys are bringing in 678 00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:44.679 the money, so they'll have to deal with it, right. Um Jack 679 00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:50.440 Swarbeck, the athlect director at at Notre Dame, he's stepping down. They 680 00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:53.760 initially said retired. Then everybody's correct himself. He does not, he's stepping 681 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:58.280 down. Just kind of like what uh you know the USC guy did. 682 00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:00.800 Yeah, I don't know if there's something wrong yeah, Um, you know, 683 00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:05.039 well this wasn't one of those ones where they say, gonna spend more 684 00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:07.440 time with his family. Yeah, so he's so he's gone, So that's 685 00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:10.760 changing. Um, you know, I don't know, man, it's uh, 686 00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:15.559 you know, that's at a time when again Notre Dame is in the 687 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.079 middle of TV negotiations and all kinds of stuff like that. So it's it's 688 00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:21.760 gonna be. It's just so much happening, you know. I was again 689 00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:25.280 listening to there's a lot of discussion of these everybody. For some reason, 690 00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:29.519 everybody's on the Capitol Hill right now. All the you know, athletic directors, 691 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.960 head football coaches and U have a sas in a summit there. Uh 692 00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:38.480 yesterday, what's the purpose? The purpose? I'm not really sure. We 693 00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.880 need to ask Robbie Robinson. But why did you guys do that? Especially 694 00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.280 whatever? I think they wanted one. They wanted to try and get in 695 00:47:45.360 --> 00:47:50.159 front and kind to get their name out there. Somebody who's kind of yeah, 696 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.320 a school of influence, let's say, um in the in this whole 697 00:47:54.679 --> 00:48:00.719 you know, N I l realignment, uh, landscape, but um, 698 00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:04.119 you know, and I look, Robbie Robinson loves this stuff, right, 699 00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:07.440 guy was he was a college junior college. He loves dabbling in the sports. 700 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.320 Sure, and so well, someone would say that he might be the 701 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:16.159 ad God. I hope Dave's not listening to that. No, it's not 702 00:48:16.280 --> 00:48:20.800 like he hadn't heard that. No, but still not from us. No. 703 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.079 But you know what I'm saying, I do. I do Robins luck, 704 00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:27.559 he's the hands he's a hands on president when it comes to athletics. 705 00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:30.519 We all, we all do know that. Do you see he's there too, 706 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:32.960 He's probably there. Yeah. I think they're right. I think they're 707 00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:36.320 all there. Yeah. Um, and you know they took some athletes with 708 00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:40.039 them and they're just having some conversations what they're doing. An interesting thing that 709 00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:44.639 I heard on the discussion was is all of this a waste of time? 710 00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:49.159 Well, that's and that's kind of where something after getting exactly I think we'll 711 00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:51.920 ask him if we get him next week. One of the other breaking news 712 00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:53.760 that we had was that we didn't talk about your day. I don't think 713 00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:58.880 it happened this day. Guyst wins his h his national title in the shot 714 00:48:58.960 --> 00:49:01.519 put. Oh, guys, happened last night. That was cool. My 715 00:49:01.719 --> 00:49:06.159 daughter Rachel, who was UM for a couple of years, she was the 716 00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.320 sid for track and fields. She still follows, she's followed on her phone. 717 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:12.800 Yeah, and we're sitting, we're having dinner. She goes, she 718 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:16.280 jumps up. He won it, won it? He on his last throw 719 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:22.880 and he beat the guy at a s U who transferred from Arizona. I 720 00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:27.199 think that's the name transferred from Arizona to a SU. That's the guy who 721 00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:30.760 been a second. He beat him by I think like three quarters of an 722 00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:32.639 inch or something like that. Well, and so good for Jordan. Guys, 723 00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:35.440 you gotta get him back on the show. Have you been watching the 724 00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:40.960 college oral series? Super No fantastic play. Obviously Oklahoma is just so so 725 00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.119 good, so pure, holy crowd. I did watch a bunch of the 726 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:49.519 game, that Stanford game. Yeah, that was the extra inning game. 727 00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.960 That was a great game they had. They should have won that. They 728 00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:54.679 have had to beat him again, which would have been unlike but but it 729 00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:59.599 would have stopped a lot of the streaks and all that stuff. I mean, 730 00:49:59.840 --> 00:50:01.920 I I feel like it's a fore gun conclusion. Yeah, there's there. 731 00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:07.079 They play again with thirty thirty today, so now I have not been 732 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:12.039 watching it. Uh, but interesting. What's gonna happen in baseball though? 733 00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:15.159 You know, I want to tell you that it starts today. Uh. 734 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.719 I think the Super There may have been a Super Regional or two that started 735 00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.360 today, but I think most of them start tomorrow. In fact, we'll 736 00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:25.360 have Andy Lopepe tomorrow to talk about this stuff, you know, being in 737 00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:29.239 the playoffs, uh and all that stuff. And I don't know if you 738 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:32.119 know this another lesson minute breaking news, Uh, the Belmont and I may 739 00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:35.639 not be running. Why I saw that. Well, there were a couple 740 00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:37.559 of baseball game and Major League Baseball game not even in the same place right, 741 00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:42.960 One in New York, one in Chicago that got postponed because of the 742 00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:46.920 heavy, heavy smoke coming from Canada wildfires. Yeah, and they uh, 743 00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:52.679 they canceled racing at uh at Belmont today. The Belmont Stakes is on Saturday, 744 00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:57.960 so it's clear enough. Let's see what happens. No, they have 745 00:50:58.039 --> 00:51:00.800 to they have to test them to Yeah, do them because you know the 746 00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:05.679 smoking. If they yeah, I mean if they if they race these horses 747 00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:07.760 and then they start dropping because of the smoke, man, that'll be that'd 748 00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:13.679 be disaster for the horses, for for for everybody. Yeah, I saw 749 00:51:13.800 --> 00:51:15.440 that. Okay, cool, there's pretty other stuff that we missed, but 750 00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:19.639 we got to get out of here. Yeah, we definitely do. It's 751 00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:22.599 uh, we're gonna be back when we get hurt his chin right here at 752 00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:24.800 the top of the hours. To stick around, we'll talk some sugar skills 753 00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:29.639 football with him, and then we'll uh, we'll have Mark Biaggi to talk 754 00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:32.320 FC two soon right after that. So if you stick around for a little 755 00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:36.199 bit, you'll hear some stuff about our pro teams here and two sons. 756 00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:51.920 So hang around the com
