Hey, everyone, it was 7 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.079 a bunch of winners this weekend, you know, A bunch of winners, 8 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.320 A whole bunch of them, you know. I I'm not sure which is 9 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.960 harder, the hangover after a loss or the hangover after a win, because 10 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.399 I did not feel very good all day yesterday. Although it felt good, 11 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.000 did not feel good because I knew it was because it was such a It 12 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.320 was a long day. It was exciting they won the game. I didn't 13 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.640 get to bed. I didn't get to sleep till three o'clock in the morning 14 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.200 on Sunday. Wait a second, you need to feel the same with what 15 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.759 the hell you're talking of Arizona Wildcat. Oh, so you celebrated their victory 16 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.680 or you celebrate a pre victory. Well, I did some pre celebration that 17 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.680 you need to be not witnessed to. The have nothing to do with anything 18 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:18.400 other than there was stuff at the tailgate party, and it was there and 19 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:21.480 I partook, So that's all it takes. It had nothing to do with 20 00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.159 that's anything other than you know, we were having fun at our tailgate party 21 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.640 and I went a little deeper than I normally do. Well, you and 22 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.239 everybody else, the Arizona pulled this baby off. It was a good game, 23 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.280 I wrote, and I think it was confirmed by Jed and and other 24 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.560 people to me, that was the most complete game they've had all year. 25 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.840 Yeah, and name it, name it. They played well in it, 26 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.120 right well. And he talked about that because he talked about you know, 27 00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.439 yeah, the offense played great, the defense played great. Right at the 28 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.200 top of his press conference, they talked about special special teams and how many 29 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.879 times does that happen? Right, and and you know it was a big 30 00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:59.280 deal. You know, those last two drives that won the game were set 31 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:05.680 up by by K punt returns by by uh Jacob Cowing. They had a 32 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.000 fifty one yard field goal. Uh. They had a couple of punts that 33 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.599 pinned a pinned Oregon State down, including a quick kick by by Fifita. 34 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.719 So those are all very important plays in the game yesterday on Saturday. And 35 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.080 you know at what point Steve did, because I look, I'm you know, 36 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:28.639 being the fan. It's never over till it's over. At what point 37 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.120 did you think, did you really think Arizona's gonna win the game or did 38 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.840 you ever think that until it? I no, no, no, I 39 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.879 did, I did, And it was exactly. Uh, it was. 40 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.840 That's a good question because the last three weeks have been just strange to me. 41 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.599 That's my question to him earlier. But to your question, Uh, 42 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.599 it was right in that moment of the final two minutes or whatever it was, 43 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.960 when they were pounding them, pounding them, and they were patting him 44 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.240 things. They're not losing this game, yeah, because they were pounding them, 45 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.759 but they were pounding them and they hadn't pounded them the whole game like 46 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.360 that. Yeah, it's not the I ever thought. Well, first of 47 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.639 all, they had to pull it, pull it out right, and that 48 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.800 was a great play. But to your question, and to your point, 49 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.800 it was during your question of the last few minutes when they were pounding him 50 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:13.759 in Orgust. They couldn't do any Yeah, but you know what, you 51 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.599 know what, and to my questions and we'll get to those, right, 52 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.159 do you have your question? And my question to that point. One of 53 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.240 my questions was confidence, and we'll play that. But and I can't remember 54 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.680 if it was USC. I don't think it was US. It was it 55 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.080 was Washington State. And you may be you may sound make this weird, 56 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.879 because to me, the m v P right now is not a guy named 57 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.560 Noah, although he's been fantastic. It is Jonah because they can't stop him. 58 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.520 They give him the ball and he's just a bullyball going downhill. He 59 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.120 crushed some people. Yeah, go to DJ William, but Jonah's been doing 60 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.400 it more consistently. And t Ma's been great. All these guys would be 61 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.960 great, but Jonah, you give him the ball, you're gonna get yards 62 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.520 and you're not gonna You're gonna get yards and you're not gonna be disappointed. 63 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:00.680 Whatever you do. You're gonna convert third and one and fourth and ones and 64 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.360 stuff like that. I don't know if that's a wide, wide ranging or 65 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.199 reaching guy from my MVP, but he's been so good. He has been 66 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.199 just that guy that just goes about out there and does the business. Sometimes 67 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.759 it's with flash. You know that he had that seventy yard pass play against 68 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.680 Washington State. He had a couple of nice runs on Saturday night against Oregon 69 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.639 State. But he does he does things that it's been a Haston Arizona's had 70 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.160 that running right, you give the ball to get those yards hard? He 71 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.560 runs hard runs like that. He just runs over guys, right, which 72 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.639 is great. Just we'll go to those clips in a second. But congrats 73 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:38.759 to the Cats. Obviously a lot of people thought they might win, they 74 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.759 could win, and they did it. They did. But but you know 75 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.600 the Dytamins. Let's stop, let's stop right now. Who said who said 76 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:47.480 at the end of the talk at the end of our show Friday, I 77 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.240 remember Cats by a field goal. I don't remember who said that you did, 78 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.920 but that's what you one for ten the week the weekend. No, 79 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.560 no, we'll get we'll give you that. We'll give you there, all 80 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.360 right. I just want that. We won't we won't talk about the other 81 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.079 stuff. So so the diamond Back Diamondbacks man Hue one, Arizona one, 82 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:09.120 I mean, come on, break out the state it's done very well all 83 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.879 the Diamondbacks. So we're gonna have Jack mcgruderron again. He's been he covers 84 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.199 the Diamondbacks for Forbes, the Sports Money, their sports page online. Uh. 85 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.160 Funny story, he's not covering the game tonight because he didn't get a 86 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.800 credential. Uh, and so he's covering hockey tonight. But he'll he's been 87 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.680 even covering all the Diamondback stuff, so he'll he has playing and we had 88 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.000 him before the Sea before there the series started, so we'll get get his, 89 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.720 uh kind of his update on what he's seen, and then he'll be 90 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.279 on the first in the first hour with the Lamont Love It to talk more 91 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.959 about the Rogan state. Right right, we'll talk What time is it? 92 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.199 He got two incent up the time, so it's fine. We got about 93 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.439 ten minutes, so let's get to that. Uh. I thought day's press 94 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:55.480 conference was pretty good. Jeed has obviously done very well and and he was 95 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.839 obviously jet fish today well. And he was and and again, you know, 96 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.160 to make the point his for comments, which which this is this is 97 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.000 vintage Jed. You wanted to make sure people knew what the special teams were 98 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.639 doing. Oh. I thought you say Halloween, and well, no, 99 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.519 we did talk. I cut that out, though his favorite Halloween candy is 100 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.120 followed by Peanut Eminem's in case you need to know that, but you're you 101 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.199 know. In his introduction, you talked a bit about special teams and what 102 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.240 a big deal that was to the game on Saturday night, and so this 103 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:28.279 is what he said. A lot of good stuff to look at. I'd 104 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.519 say the one thing that we didn't necessarily hit on enough after the game was 105 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.480 what a great job our special teams did in that game. If you look 106 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:43.000 at the two punt returns, those were critical to the success of the team. 107 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.839 Do you look at the two punts we only punted the ball a couple 108 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:50.959 of times, the one that changed field position both times, that long, 109 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:55.959 long punt by Kyle and then the punt that backed them up by Noah. 110 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.040 Both those were huge plays. The outside kid that we were able to knock 111 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.879 out of bounds by Jacob was a big time play in a very tight, 112 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:09.040 tight game. And then a fifty one yard field goal by Tyler Lout. 113 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.240 So when you look at we talked so much about offensive defense, I think 114 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.040 it's really important just to talk in that past game I talked to the team 115 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.759 about that yesterday. What a great job our special teams did. Additionally, 116 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.519 we got the big offensively and defensively, we did a nice job moving the 117 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.920 ball and did a nice job stopping him when we needed to, and that 118 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.879 was a critical part of it. It was a three and out in the 119 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:39.120 most critical time of the game. It was a five and a half minute 120 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.439 drive in the most critical part of the game. So on, all excited 121 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.519 about to win against Oregon State and now it's time to move on and get 122 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.199 ready for our next opponent. They played well, I mean all around. 123 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:56.480 Yeah, and Fafida obviously doing very well. Again, nothing flashy, just 124 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.439 getting the job done. Don't you want that in your court of that's you 125 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.480 know, that's all you're looking for, and that's that's have been great, 126 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.279 fantastic, has been great, and he's been steady. He doesn't rattle. 127 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.040 He threw a pick and it was just a bad throw into you. He 128 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.720 was throwing it to you know, his favorite guy and and uh and and 129 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:16.600 somebody was there. Yeah, right, but you know, I know you 130 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.199 won't like this. I don't know you won't like this. But he's five 131 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:30.240 foot whatever. Yeah to me, he's a guy you think somebody else like 132 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.159 I don't know, but there has to be somebody else who's short out there. 133 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.440 He's a lot like Jiggins all though, no so, but he's a 134 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.399 guy that Yeah, you think, how does this guy pull this off? 135 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:45.840 And then he does it. I'm sure Kyler Murdy was that guy because he 136 00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.279 won. He was good. But you think undersized guy does these special things, 137 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:52.840 but nothing really special. He just gets the job done. And Alt 138 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.320 was just like, dude, he is, how is he probably whatever? 139 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.399 How does he do this? And he does it? Yeah, you know 140 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.399 exactly what I say. Absolutely cheap. Okay, okay, I'm just talking 141 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.720 you physically analytical. I get it. I get it. I know what 142 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.120 you're trying to say, and I'll think of somebody else before the end of 143 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.679 the show. I'm gonna go into google the short guys who were good. 144 00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.240 But all right, I did ask Jed about that last drive and when did 145 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.720 he see that they could just run the ball down their throats the way they 146 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.480 did, and because that's exactly what the exactly what they did and it did 147 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.360 seal the deal. Here's what he said. Yeah, well, you know, 148 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.399 the first half we had twenty seven plays. I think it was we 149 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.320 had eighteen passes and nine rounds and got ourselves up. You know, they 150 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.399 played us a little differently than we expected him to the first st half defensively, 151 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:46.000 so we had to adjust to that. It was a the way they 152 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.399 they played their bigs against our twelve person on group, so we had to 153 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.720 change some of our runs at halftime. We had to make some adjustments at 154 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.159 halftime, and then on the third quarter we wound up having just a couple 155 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.960 of drives. But we felt like the adjustments we were going to make we're 156 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.360 going to you know, come in handy at the right time. And then 157 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.320 I felt as if we got to a point that our runners we were able 158 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.080 to substitute four different runners constantly, and when you can, when you can 159 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.759 give Speedy a couple of carries and give Mic some carries, you got to 160 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.639 defend Mic out of the backfield and you give DJ and Jonah, I think 161 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.039 the defensive line can get worn down a little bit. And that's kind of 162 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.200 what we felt. And we felt as if as we kept being patient when 163 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.720 the opportunity to present itself, that it was going to come, and it 164 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.399 did. Okay, we want to get this last last one in it's like 165 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.200 a three and a half minute monologue on Steve's question about when did you see 166 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.639 the culture change? And then when did you see the confidence in this team? 167 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.919 And then there was another piece on the end that Damon Damien Elema ask 168 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.519 about culture change as well. So let's let's take this slip. It's a 169 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.320 long clip, and then we'll go right to the break after that. Yeah, 170 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.080 well, when it comes to culture change, I mean it starts when 171 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.679 you walk in the door and you decide what you want the culture to be 172 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:13.080 like. And then it's a matter of how many players can buy into your 173 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.159 culture right away to leave into your culture. And then you know, you've 174 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.159 got some attrition that occurs, and sometimes you have a dish advice attraction. 175 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.240 Other times you have you have big losses and you have to be able to 176 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.559 overcome those losses. In terms of players, what we needed to do is 177 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.159 we need to get younger players older. When you get younger players older than 178 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.679 they could start getting the younger players behind them to understand the culture better. 179 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.279 We needed people to be a part of You know, this is two or 180 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.039 three springs prior to the season versus just one three training camps rather than just 181 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.480 one. All of those things going into it, then you get as are 182 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:56.600 our players continue to improve improve on their fundamentals. A lot of our culture 183 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.200 has to do with being fundamentally sound, trusting the process, embracing the grind. 184 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.000 That's a lot of what our culture is. Loving your teammates, and 185 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.919 for that to be the case, that takes time. That doesn't just happen 186 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:15.200 overnight. You have to the grind is a long period of time loving your 187 00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.799 teammates. You just don't love everybody right away. So we've invested a lot 188 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.639 into that. I think that as we continue to grow, it also comes 189 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.879 down to how good can we be schematically? Can we continue to improve there? 190 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.120 I think we've made a great focus in in terms of what we do 191 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.440 on offense. We're a good offensive football team and we're a good defensive football 192 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.039 team, and that's part of our culture being good, just not just in 193 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.279 one phase. So I would say that's really started to happen this year where 194 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.440 we believe that we're a full team rather than just stats team, you know, 195 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.399 where you're just trying to be good in statistics or good in a certain 196 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.159 area. You've got to be a good team. To be able to overall 197 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.000 win and then I would just as we continue to grow, I think we'll 198 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.080 get better and better and better and more. Players will then tell the younger 199 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.240 players, this is how we do things, this is how we act, 200 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.679 this is how we talk, this is how we practice. And we we 201 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:15.200 got to continue that consistent message. Confidence. You get confidence by numerous things. 202 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.759 You get confidence by being successful doing things. You know, there was 203 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.399 a you know, early on, early on, we had to you know, 204 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.799 believe without necessarily have great confidence, right, we had to actually work. 205 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.679 We had to have confidence without evidence. Is what we told our team 206 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:37.519 a year ago. Now, I believe that they see the evidence. They 207 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.399 see that we've won two out of the last three last year, we've won, 208 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.159 you know, five out of eight this year, so we're sitting here 209 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.519 at seven and four in the last eleven games. And when you start seeing 210 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.679 those fruits of your labor, that's how they get confidence. You know, 211 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:58.279 it's not easy, but it's one in which that we worked. We believed 212 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.600 one hundred percent and what this program was going to become. We believed in 213 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.919 the Tucson community. We believed in the University of Arizona. As a coaching 214 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.039 staff, and we believed and we saw a vision of what we wanted it 215 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.080 to look like. And we spent all of our time selling our vision. 216 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.120 And when you sell your vision and you talk through what you wanted to look 217 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:22.919 like and what you believe it looking like, you know, we're just getting 218 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.039 started. And I know it sounds that it feels like we've been around for 219 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.120 a while, but not really. We're not even you know, we're barely 220 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.279 into two and a half years. And I think that if we can continue 221 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.200 to improve and get better, it's not going to be as hard to sell. 222 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.039 Yeah, good, good answers. I guess a lot, but yeah, 223 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.000 yeah, yeah, no, I don't know. We'll talk more about 224 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.559 this. One goes back to the ideas though Steve that you know, he's 225 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:54.240 thought about this for a long time before he got there, and he was 226 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.879 going to put this in place wherever he ended up, right, whether he 227 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.120 was at Florida or Kansa or you Tap or wherever he got his first job, 228 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.080 he had this was all mapped out.

This is I on the Ball 309 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:51.079 with Steve Bravera and Jacob Salez on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. Hey, welcome 310 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:52.759 back to Wire on the Ball Hero Fox Sports fourteen. Cookie, I'm Stuve 311 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:59.640 Rivera. You're Jacob Saws, Bonophoneia, Jack McGruder from s Forbes Sports Money 312 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.680 doing check good. See how you doing. We're doing fine. Great to 313 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:08.599 have you to preview game three of tonight's game. It'll be a lot of 314 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.400 fun. Let me ask you. And after that first game, you know, 315 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.880 because we saw, i mean, they kind of compared it to you 316 00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:19.079 know, the Kurk Gibson walk off against against the A's and we all saw 317 00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:23.319 what happened that the A's just went into the toilet and and the Dodgers won 318 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.480 that series with a far, far less superior team than the A's had that 319 00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.079 time. Did you think at all about that when the Diamondbacks the way they 320 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.880 lost that game in Game one, it's sort of it vaguely crossed my mind. 321 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.319 But then you look back to the Milwaukee series when they i mean, 322 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.000 they didn't lose any games, but they're down three to nothing in the fourth 323 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.000 inning and Corbyn Carroll hits a big home run. They were down. The 324 00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:52.319 thing, you know, they were down the first two games of the Phillies. 325 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.440 And the thing I've been impressed with watching them in the playoffs is they 326 00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.160 don't seem to at all be affected by them. And this is a bunch 327 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.640 of young guys who would have every reason to think, oh gosh, I'm 328 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.920 in the World Series, maybe I should be nervous. It seems like just 329 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:12.119 the opposite. They seem like they're calm and controlled and understand what they need 330 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.200 to do, and then they get it done. They've they've done this all 331 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.880 year. I mean, they surprised you to begin the year right doing what 332 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.200 they've done. Then they went into the tank and you death you're surprised because 333 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:23.720 they were doing so well, and then they re found themself. Who find 334 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.400 themselves and you think, how did this happen? They're just a team that 335 00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:33.160 defies themselves to me, and yeah, and to me, they they're not 336 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.680 one of these big home runblicit publicity, you know those everybody loves the home 337 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.119 run ball, right, but they do the smart things they and they were 338 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.880 definitely benefited by the real teams this year with their because they have an incredible 339 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:52.279 amount of speed and the stolen bases have really helped their game and their approach 340 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.079 at the plate. I mean, you watch Martelle Batt, you watch Corbyn 341 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:59.000 Carroll Batt, you watch Moreno Bat. They use the whole field. They 342 00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:03.359 don't try to do too much at the plate. If they need a single, 343 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.799 they just try to hit a single. Gouriel is the same way. 344 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.440 They just know what they need to do and they have a very good knack 345 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.960 of getting a dunce. Is there an obvious I don't know if you say 346 00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:22.720 leader or MVP or somebody that is the guy that they lean on on this 347 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.799 team. Is there an obvious one there? Kind of isn't. I mean, 348 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.720 Larry Christian Walker has been around a long time. He's a steady guy. 349 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.920 He's a veteran guy. Evan Longoria helped. I think when they brought 350 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.440 him over. He's a veteran guy. Tommy Sam has helped in that regard. 351 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.640 But throughout the year, I don't know that they had really a guy 352 00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.880 that they could rally around more than an ethic that they rallied around. Tory 353 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:55.400 has got that thing instilled where play hard, do the right thing and it 354 00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.359 pays off. And then you know in June and July when it was paying 355 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.799 off and they started to believe it. And I think, I certainly think, 356 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.079 and you guys know, sports is momentum. Every year. Things change 357 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.039 every year. You know, maybe this won't happen next year, but this 358 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:14.200 year they gained momentum. They figured they saw how to win, and they 359 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.400 just kept winning. Oh, we've done with him today, Steve. Steve's 360 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:23.680 going to hang up on you because they used the M word momentum. So 361 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:27.599 let me ask you. That's okay, Jack, I'll forgive you. So 362 00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:30.359 twenty some years ago, we were a lot with thinner, We were having 363 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:36.039 fun being dinner. Jack, does this remind you of those days of twenty 364 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:41.359 twenty one, two thousand and one. Yeah, the pomp and circumstance certainly 365 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.480 is the same, but that sure was a far different team. You know, 366 00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.279 they went out and bought Randy Johnson two years before, they bought Shilling 367 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.039 the year before. They had a host of stars Matt Williams, Luis Gonzales 368 00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.079 that you know, national names that everybody knew. So in one way, 369 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.440 in one way, it does it. In another way, it seems like 370 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:03.279 a different sort of team for sure. You know, they're not going to 371 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.359 beat with the home runs, although they've done that, but they'll uh and 372 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.880 they're not gonna Merril Kelly and Zach Galla are good starters. They've got Randy 373 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:17.279 Johnson and Kirk Shilling. But it's just so so not really, I guess 374 00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:21.279 it is the answer. Yeah, but there again, you know, to 375 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:25.119 me, it's a team that's just gotten hot and it's playing goat has played 376 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:27.960 all year long right now, but sort of the Rangers. So you know, 377 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.559 what did you see in the first two games? You know, I 378 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.039 mean, you know it's the best three out of five now, Yeah, 379 00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.559 any sign of anything in the first two games that can tell you of what 380 00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.440 might happen down you know, down the road. Yeah, it's it's a 381 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:47.759 pretty Ballad series. It looks like, right, Texas can really hit. 382 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:49.880 I mean, you've always got to be scared of their hittings. Corey Seeger 383 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.880 is a terrific player. I mean, he's a tremendous player out at least 384 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:57.200 Garcia has been the player of the player of the postseason right so far with 385 00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:02.359 what he did against Houston, at all the stuff he's done. But good 386 00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.279 pitching will always win. You know. It's today is the matchup Max Scherzer 387 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.640 against Brandon Bock. Now you look at those names and you think, well, 388 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.599 you know, Texas has to win this game. Texas won't win this 389 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.359 game. Arizona's gonna win tonight. Foughts pitching, flots pitching very well. 390 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:22.599 And this is not the Max Scherzer that the Diamondbacks had or the Tigers had 391 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:29.400 or the National Dad. He's coming back off an arm injury and he's had 392 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.839 He's given up five or six runs in six and two thirds in there's in 393 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.759 the postseason so far. So I think, you know, you take it 394 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.240 one game at a time, and I like the Diamondbacks chances. I'll tell 395 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.400 you that, Yeah, well, there's nothing that's they We've seen nothing that 396 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:44.039 says they can't win it. You know again, it's going to be, 397 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.039 you know, a game to game, right, because I agree with you. 398 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.640 This isn't this isn't your dad's Max sures. This is I mean, 399 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:53.039 he was what fot was born when Susy was already playing and playing baseball, 400 00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.359 you know, and it was a prose or close to it. You know. 401 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.359 Five, he pitched a great game against Dodgers that in the game that 402 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.599 I saw, you know, game three of the Division Series. You know, 403 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.519 he got those four homers and then he just shut the Dodgers down and 404 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.160 made him I mean he he not only beat him, he made them look 405 00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.240 bad. And that's that's what I saw from him. He throws a lot 406 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.319 of strikes. I mean he's he's pitched fourteen innings the last three games, 407 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.799 giving up two runs, and he's only walked to So I don't know what 408 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:25.039 his ball does exactly. He's got that sweeper and he's got a fastball that 409 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.240 he rides in on you. It must be hard to pick up because like 410 00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:30.720 you said, you had, the Dodgers are not the only team that struggled 411 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.839 against him. Shuley's had a lot of trouble putting the ball and playing against 412 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:40.440 him, so anything can happen. Should we all be running around trying to 413 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:45.279 get the Corbyn Carroll rookie rookie card. He's gonna be the He's gonna be 414 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.920 the rookie, you know that. And he's such a solid guy. He's 415 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:53.880 such a solid, hard working guy. It's hard not to admire what he's 416 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:57.480 doing because he doesn't let it go to his head and he doesn't play to 417 00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:02.279 the crowd or to anybody. He's like a lot of stars, like Paul 418 00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.559 Goldsmid. He he kind of can take the media or leave it right. 419 00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:08.720 I mean he'll he'll deal with us, but he it's it's not a primary 420 00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:17.000 focus. And he doesn't really embrace that whole culture of you know, stardom 421 00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.599 and hero is and all that stuff. He's just a hard nosed guy that 422 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.640 plays baseball and you kind of like that. Someone might want to check his 423 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:27.960 driver's license because he might not beat twenty whatever it is. That's old school 424 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:32.079 stuff. That's what's great. I mean, that's but he makes himutty who 425 00:28:32.119 --> 00:28:37.200 he is. His his hero growing up was Chiro Suzuki, and he got 426 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.759 a picture of Hitch and Row back when he was in high school or whatever, 427 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.279 and that's his role model and he kind of plays the same way, 428 00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:49.079 just quiet, deadly nice. Jack mcgridor from Forbes The Sports Money. You 429 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:55.359 can catch see his stuff online on the on the Forbes website. Again, 430 00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.240 I think we talked about this and and you you've written about this, but 431 00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.799 this is been. This isn't just this didn't just start this year. They've 432 00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:06.599 been They've been building towards this for a little while, and it seems to 433 00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:08.279 be here for They may be here for a while, don't you think? 434 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.160 It sure looks like it. And like we were talking about, you know, 435 00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:17.079 you can never project one year to the next, but they sure are 436 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:23.720 built. They're built on youth with Corbyn, Alec Thomas fot Kapel Marte is 437 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.960 only thirty years old. He's not an old man. And they are built 438 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.960 with team friendly contracts throughout the throughout the group, every one of their starters 439 00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:40.359 except Longoria is under contract next year. I take that back, Lord scar 440 00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:44.319 lordis Curiel Junior is not and Tommy fam is not either. I guess those 441 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.640 are kind of two players for one starting position, but they've got the group 442 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:55.519 coming back. Paul Seawall is still under arbitration eligibility. Zach Gillan, Gallon 443 00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:59.240 and Merrill Kelly have at least one more year, So gosh, you can 444 00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.799 you can see the going on for a while. Yeah, I said, 445 00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:07.599 Then they have the apparently the manager of the ages for them, because he 446 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:11.480 manages them very well, perfectly in fact, you know, get some in 447 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.559 and out of jams that he believes in them, things like that. Yeah, 448 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.200 and it is a little bit of a different style, right. Yes, 449 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.440 he takes Kelly out of games early. He takes fot out of games 450 00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.000 early, something that starting pitchers really aren't used to. But they've got a 451 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.839 they've got a program, they've got a situation. They go, they got 452 00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.720 their relievers lined up for this. These three guys in the order, those 453 00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.200 three guys in the order, those three guys in the order, And it's 454 00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.519 worked so far. Tampa Bay kind of does that, right, Yeah, 455 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.400 they don't. They limit their starters, or they have in the past, 456 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:51.160 limited their starters and try to get their relievers in high leverage, positive situations. 457 00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:53.839 And you're right, it's worked so far. Merrill was pretty bad the 458 00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.599 other night when they took him out after five innings. So Jack, I'm 459 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:03.599 not one to follow what Jack mcgoda or Jade Gonzols predicts. I've seen the 460 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.799 results. I've seen the results. But apparently you're you're picking. You're picking 461 00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.200 the Diamondbacks to night, which of course would gives them a great advantage being 462 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.079 with the next three at home, the next two at home. What do 463 00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.720 you think overall? I don't see any reason not to back the Diamondbacks. 464 00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.160 I mean, I know it's uh, it sounds a little homeless, I 465 00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.720 know, but just the way they've been playing, they're not too they're not 466 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.640 too overwhelmed by the moment. They're doing all the little things. You know, 467 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.880 they could continue to run wild. On the basis as they have the 468 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.839 last three games or two against the Phillies and once against Texas, I see 469 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.519 no reason that they can't keep it up, even though Texas is terrific. 470 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.799 Texas has a great team. It could it could be a classic series. 471 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.920 I'd love for it to go down to seven and we'll see what happens. 472 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:52.440 Are the Diamondbacks, you know, you're talking about the youth and the way 473 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.160 this you feel is this like a year early? I mean, they got 474 00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.559 hot, you know, at the end of this season, maybe they're a 475 00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.119 year early early that maybe this might have been something that you would have expected 476 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:06.799 next year after a bunch of these guys like Corbyn, Carroll and those guys 477 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:09.960 had another year under their belt. Yeah, I think you can. I 478 00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:15.599 think you can say that nobody knew exactly how good Corbyn was going to be. 479 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:17.480 Well, the Diamondbacks thought they did, and he's lived up to exactly 480 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:22.759 what he's done. And nobody knew exactly how you know, Marte kind of 481 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:24.720 bounced back this year. He struggled with injuries the last couple of years. 482 00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:29.880 Nobody knew how Mareno would play. I mean, he's been a fine he's 483 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:35.079 been He's been a star behind the plate and at the bat. So ahead 484 00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:38.359 of the game maybe, but the talent sure is there. The talent is 485 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:43.400 where it should be, right, They've got the talent to be at this 486 00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.960 point in the season. It's crazy that they didn't qualify for the playoffs until 487 00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:52.359 Game one sixty one, right, but they sure don't look like that now. 488 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.759 Yeah, no question to your point with the momentum, real real quick, 489 00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:59.759 because you brought it up while we were off air, your thoughts on 490 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:04.839 the Cats and Saturday night, Man, they look good. They look well 491 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:07.240 coached, and they look solid. And I love that that new quarterback. 492 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:15.519 I think he's really uh solidified that spot and seems like he doesn't do much 493 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:20.079 wrong. You know, he he doesn't do bad things, and that that's 494 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.839 the key, and you know, eliminating mistakes as the kid at winning anything 495 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:27.279 right, no question, no question. We'll see what happens.

You 559 00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:08.360 know that we have some more time to talk to. Good fun, had 560 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:15.519 good fun with always. I don't know enough to bet on any either way, 561 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:22.800 but more power to the Diamondbacks. Well baseball is really uh you could 562 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:27.440 You can analyze all you want, lineups and pictures, None of that matters. 563 00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.440 It's like you're guessing who's gonna who's gonna play better tonight when it comes 564 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.480 to base When it comes to baseball, you're guess. You're guessing. What 565 00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:43.199 are you doing in football? Guessing? Guessing badly, guessing badly. It 566 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:45.440 got off to decent, well, not a great start, because I had 567 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:50.400 Oklahoma, which over the weekend had Oklahoma who lost to Kansas for the first 568 00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.800 time since before you and I were born. I busted that streak by taking 569 00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:59.320 Oklahoma. If you don't, I know you embraced this because you're you're a 570 00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:01.239 killer. We'll get to that. I had the Chiefs, which we'll talk 571 00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:06.760 about their. So let's take this call. How you're on the air and 572 00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:10.320 eye the ball. Fellow, it's Jim, Hey, Jim, what's up? 573 00:39:13.159 --> 00:39:17.639 Well? I wanted to Magruder on a couple of points. Okay, 574 00:39:17.679 --> 00:39:21.480 you're breaking up a little bit, so hold the phone close to where we 575 00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:30.239 can hear you. Okay, well that's better. Anyway, Macgruder talked about 576 00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:37.079 how cool and calm and collected the guys are on the team and how they 577 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:43.800 play the game and how they don't try to do too much. They hit 578 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:51.599 the ball where it's pitched. And the message is the reason the fundamentals are 579 00:39:51.760 --> 00:40:00.199 fundamental is that if you will overcome those you can play winning baseball. And 580 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:05.400 I think the one person on that team that makes the difference for them is 581 00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:10.320 the coach to the manager, right, I think he stold them on letting 582 00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:16.960 the fundamentals work for them. And you know, all you have to do 583 00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:21.599 these days is win about fifty five sixty percent of your games and you're in, 584 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:24.079 right, And we did that and then get hot at the end, 585 00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:30.000 and then a hot streaker too and here in the World Series. Yeah, 586 00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.400 yeah, because that's what I talked this one up to. I tuk up 587 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.639 this World Series, not to the fact that, yeah, I mean they 588 00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:38.079 snuck in, but they got hot at the exact right time that And it's 589 00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:42.920 particularly other teams that did you know what, you kind of lost it ran 590 00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:45.800 out of gas or whatever you want to say. Well, that happened to 591 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:50.400 somebody every year, just almost every year, somebody gets hot, and that's 592 00:40:50.440 --> 00:40:53.199 it. Yep, No, I agree, I agree. I think the 593 00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:59.360 Labello, though, deserves a lot of credit. One other thing to be 594 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:06.239 in on the Corey Seeger is a great player, and you know Adolas Garcia 595 00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:09.559 got all the credit for winning that game the other nine, but without without 596 00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:15.119 Seager's ninth y home run, they wouldn't have been in that position. Correct, 597 00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:20.119 all right, Jim text about that. Thanks. You know, I 598 00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.800 really wish Cory Seger Dodgers, but he went when he went yard in that 599 00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:29.639 game on on on Friday night. Immediately my phone buzz It was a text 600 00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.480 from from my son Adam says, I miss him. Dude, smooth man, 601 00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:37.360 dude, smooth you have another color Hi and the air and eye on 602 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.920 the ball. This is Freddy like this. All right, Frank, how 603 00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:45.199 you doing? I mean, when you're ready? You're ready. Yeah, 604 00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:51.280 you're on the air, So go ahead. I yeah, I wanted to 605 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:54.320 come in on a couple of things. Number one, Uh, you know, 606 00:41:54.440 --> 00:41:59.519 Michael Love does a great job of covering the Wellcats football in a Star 607 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:05.119 on Mondays. You know, he runs the report card. But I got 608 00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:10.639 to take issue with them giving a bee to the quarterback to Fita. He 609 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:19.519 says that Thefita only completed one of three passes over twenty yards. To me, 610 00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:25.840 he's over rating that statistic. If you give our receivers eight yard, 611 00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:30.840 ten yard, twelve yard pass, they run like hack. So they're making 612 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:40.320 that plus twenty plus twenty yard games. So I mean, Fefeita is a 613 00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:46.280 triple threat. He completed more than seventy five percent of his passes. He 614 00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:52.239 ran for a critical first down close to a touchdown, and then he punted 615 00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:59.280 it surprised everybody. He punted over forty yards to get the Wildcats out of 616 00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:04.960 trouble. Uh one fourth down, So I definitely think he rather than name. 617 00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.280 Yeah, I disagree with the B. I mean he's a minus at 618 00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:12.440 the worst because one because they won the game. Du yeah, he had 619 00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.239 he threw he threw that pick. But he made a lot of plays for 620 00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.360 them. You know, I would just watch they're showing his highlight from uh 621 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:22.280 because he won he won pack Plaut freshman the week. He you know, 622 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:25.159 they were at the four yard or the six yard line and the first play 623 00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:29.320 out of the box, he hits a long past that gets into midfield. 624 00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:34.480 Those kinds of plays are that's how you win games. Yeah. And one 625 00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:38.760 other thing, Steve, I'm going to take a gentle issue with you saying 626 00:43:38.800 --> 00:43:44.079 that Jonah Coleman should be the MVP at this point. Oh. I agree 627 00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.559 that Jonah is fantastic. I love him. I'm glad he's coming back. 628 00:43:47.360 --> 00:43:52.599 Uh. But I think the feeda is really opens up the running lanes. 629 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:57.239 I think without the THETA, you know, uh, they would not have 630 00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:00.239 the wins that they do. So that's my take. Frank, I figured 631 00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:05.480 you might be salty today. It's okay, it's okay, but let me 632 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.920 be Frank with Frank. So Fafina didn't play the first few games, so 633 00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:13.760 he's gotten more more uh sample size for me. But I don't I don't 634 00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:16.360 mind your pick. I don't mind your pick. Well, I know that 635 00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:22.320 you guys are abdicious and you know everything, so I'm not saying you're wrong. 636 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:29.360 I'm right. This is my Frank. You need to buy my I 637 00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:34.199 love I love how the Walckats are playing with diamondbacks. So like the show 638 00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.119 of the show. So thank you, Frank appreciated Frank, thanks for college 639 00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:40.639 checks in the mail. Frank exactly, Yeah, no, I I like 640 00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:45.480 I say I create controversial. Well, you know, Coleman is sort of 641 00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:49.639 a maybe an underappreciated piece of what they're doing right, because yeah, I 642 00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:53.239 mean he's giving him this. Has he fumbled? Probably not think? I 643 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:57.679 mean, come on, and then I mentioned everybody else because everyone else has 644 00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.840 been fantastic. Do I'm just trying to find out a gym. In my 645 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.199 view, if if he hey, come on, they wouldn't be where they're 646 00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:07.239 at without Although although who knows what Jaden would have done, I don't think 647 00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.239 he would have done the same thing. But you could go to a number 648 00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:15.039 on defense. Come on, who pick a gun defense? There's ten of 649 00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:17.320 them, right, you know, I mean it's this, This is happening 650 00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:22.280 because everyone's playing so well. Well. Speaking of nor he did as mentioned, 651 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.480 he did win backed well Freshman of the Week for the third time. 652 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.079 He's won at the last three times. Compare him to anything else won at 653 00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:34.920 the last three times he's played. I'm not I know exactly what you're talking 654 00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:37.519 about. This is freshman a week, it's posted a player of the week. 655 00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.599 But obviously, you know, Jed was asked just you know, tell 656 00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:43.960 us again what you think we got to call? Hold that all right, 657 00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:46.599 let's get this call. Hi, you're on the air and I on the 658 00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:54.079 ball. How's it going Today's man?

Yeah, you know it's it's it's you know, 662 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:12.000 it's he was like the oldest guy there and he was kind of you 663 00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:14.480 know, it's kind of embarrassing, but you know he got to the game, 664 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:15.599 all right. See what I lived with. See what I live with? 665 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:20.639 Go ahead, go ahead, what do you got? Well, I 666 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:22.280 was just kind of you know, everybody's talking about you know, the m 667 00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:27.760 v P and stuff, and you know it's really easy to name the FETA 668 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:30.119 and whatever all the players. But you know, I got to think it's 669 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:36.599 jet Fish. What he's done with that team yea, and convinced those players 670 00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:42.280 into his system is just incredible in the three year period. Yeah, two 671 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.920 and a half. That's why I asked that question, Jake, because two 672 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:51.000 and a half years he had he had poop to start with worst against and 673 00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:53.360 that was not his fault. He had like hoop on fire, right, 674 00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.880 it was. It was embarrassing, Yeah, you know, and and that 675 00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:01.119 we can now we can go to the games and you know, I mean 676 00:47:01.119 --> 00:47:05.800 that was that was an unbelievable game, and uh, you know to watch 677 00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.800 you know, to watch them and and really you know, basically you know, 678 00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:13.800 hang on at the end because I mean they gave up that last touchdown 679 00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:16.920 and about what five plays four plays, but Brenton, I was just shocked 680 00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:20.239 the guy got behind them and you know, in the end zone. But 681 00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:23.639 that was a great pass though. Overall though, overall, wasn't Saturday night 682 00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:30.199 just fun. I mean just the tailgate on it was just fun. Yeah. 683 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:34.000 And if you're not going out there, you're missing because it it was 684 00:47:34.079 --> 00:47:37.480 our best tailgate of the of the year and night just because we were all 685 00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:39.280 in a good mood. Remember we were well what I remember of it. 686 00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:44.280 Yeah, we were having fun. And it wasn't just because I drank a 687 00:47:44.360 --> 00:47:46.119 lot. I mean, it was a fun tailgate. And and everybody's in. 688 00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:51.000 When you're winning games and you and you're going to a game thinking you 689 00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:52.599 can win a game, you're gonna have fun. And then the game was 690 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:55.960 fun because it was a great game. Even even if you know aar Zona 691 00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:59.840 loses. You're going into the fourth quarter and Arizona was losing, I'm thinking, 692 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.639 this is still a great game, whatever happens here. And and then 693 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:06.679 they won the game, which made it even more fun. And you know, 694 00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:09.559 I think people better wake up and be out there Saturday night. Yeah. 695 00:48:09.760 --> 00:48:13.440 Yeah, that's the one thing. It was still only forty crowd, 696 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.679 man crowd everyginner it was, you know, because and people were leaving too. 697 00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:20.760 I was shocked. No, come on, you've been here long enough 698 00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:23.159 to know they're definitely gonna leave. Yeah, yeah, you know, there 699 00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:27.039 was a lot there. I know the students war on the field, but 700 00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.239 there was a lot of students that have left before that fourth quarter. Right, 701 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:36.320 Well we got to two left homecoming coming up, so hopefully they they 702 00:48:36.360 --> 00:48:37.119 filled it up. All right, Brian, thanks so much. Man. 703 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:43.599 Next week, So what was the last time you were told? Steve? 704 00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:49.639 Well, well, you know what the what what the difference was? My 705 00:48:49.760 --> 00:48:54.360 wife wasn't there? Oh yeah, she was on the trip. Okay, 706 00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:59.760 yeah, I saw those picture. Yeah did she knows? She must have. 707 00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:05.400 We've found you. You heard somebody center a picture. It wasn't that 708 00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:07.960 bad. It was just different. Okay, it was just shifferent. I 709 00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.760 just don't honestly, I'll have a beer or two at a tailgate party and 710 00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:15.199 that's it, and that it was just different. Okay, do you have 711 00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:16.360 time for this one? Yeah? I was gonna say, let let's let's 712 00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:20.039 play this clip on North Fafida because he has such a big part of the 713 00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:23.480 conversation and and to what's been happening again? Pack twelve. Freshman of the 714 00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:28.400 Week for the third week and third week in a row for Arizona. They 715 00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.280 had an off week, so three of the last four in the Pac twelve. 716 00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:32.679 But the only one they didn't win or he didn't win, was when 717 00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:37.159 they were off. Here's what Jed had to say about Fafida and Saturday Night. 718 00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:39.000 Yeah, the last three starts that he's had, he's won it, 719 00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:45.719 which is a pretty cool stat in itself that he's continued to go out there 720 00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:50.599 and impress. You look at his numbers. I was just looking at him. 721 00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:54.079 You know, he's played nineteen quarters of football, He's seventy six percent 722 00:49:54.920 --> 00:50:00.719 as a passer, he's starting eleven touchdowns, three interceptions, and you know 723 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.679 those are those are really good numbers, and I think he's being rewarded for 724 00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.000 that. You know, you look at as I've said, you look at 725 00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:12.000 the two quarterbacks combined, they're sitting there at twenty touchdown passes, seventy three 726 00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:17.039 percent completion, eight interceptions, and you know over one hundred and you know, 727 00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:21.199 Jaden's run for one hundred and sixty three yards and so two hundred and 728 00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.880 twenty five yards rushing. So I think both of them have done great this 729 00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:28.840 season. Noah certainly has gotten accolades the last three weeks, and that's fantastic 730 00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.480 for Noah rightfully, so he deserves it. He's completed over seventy percent of 731 00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:37.239 his passes in each game, and I expect him to continue to get better. 732 00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:40.360 So, you know, Jay, the one question that will not come 733 00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:45.360 up anymore, what about your starty who's starting at quarterbacks? That's over with. 734 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:49.559 He didn't answer the question on Saturday night. He went with him. 735 00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.639 He kind of just didn't even gloss over. He just didn't answer it. 736 00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:58.599 Not purposely. Maybe he forgot, but there's only evidence shows that he doesn't 737 00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:00.039 have to. He doesn't have to anymore. I mean, it's not there's 738 00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:04.239 no question about it anymore, you know. And at the end of the 739 00:51:04.360 --> 00:51:07.440 at the end of the season, the question will become, Okay, now, 740 00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:12.320 now what day la next for laws because clearly you know no Ifafia not 741 00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:15.920 only is the quarterback now, but quarterback for the let's talk about something on 742 00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:21.119 the other side or later. Is the the sacks? He kind of put 743 00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:24.000 that on Noah, which I guess is maybe the problem. But the dudes 744 00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:29.599 have to do so well. There were a couple where he had no chance, 745 00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:32.199 Yeah, exactly. So it's not always on the quarterback, not always 746 00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:35.679 on him, but there were a couple, you know, So yeah, 747 00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:37.960 he's he's gotta you know. He says he's got to do better. Four 748 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:39.960 sacks they had Saturday night with too Bad. All right, we're gonna take 749 00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:43.239 our break. We're gonna be back. Breaking news coming up.
