WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.480 Steve Bravera and jaygen Salz. They have their eye on the ball on Tucson 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:12.279 Sports dag yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty streaming live. I mean I hod Radio 3 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:17.039 lap Hey, welcome back to the ball here Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm 4 00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.359 Steve, He's Jake gut Sammy with breaking news, Eye on the ball, 5 00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.440 breakie news. All right, so we're gonna touch on it just again. 6 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:30.839 The Diamondbacks go to their first World Series in over twenty years. Game one 7 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.439 in the two thousand and one World Series will be the exact same date as 8 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:40.240 this year's World Series October twenty seventh, So every single game will line up 9 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.039 with exact same date when the Diamondbacks won the World Series and two thousand one. 10 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.520 So what are those of you looking for some juju? I don't know, 11 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.759 man, I don't know. So I was one and a half when 12 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.479 we won the World Series. I have a nephew. He just turned one 13 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.439 and a half. And so maybe every twenty maybe every twenty two years, 14 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.240 the Diamondbacks are just primed. Maybe every twenty you never know. But nonetheless, 15 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:06.959 Corbyn Carroll was a three for three with three singles Sackfly that ended up 16 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.760 winning them the game and the arison a bullpen, which if you did watch 17 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:18.159 the diamondbackser if you did hear stories going into about the last two months of 18 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.200 the regular season, they were terrible, one of the worst bullpens in the 19 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.719 MLB. And I don't know what turned around. We talked. We heard 20 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.359 Bob talk about Ryan Thompson. There's a rookie in there, Andrew Saalfrank who 21 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.640 hasn't been great in the postseason, but great in the regular season. And 22 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:42.159 Kevin Ginkel, you have a grat has been really last night got five outs. 23 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.920 Normally he's a three. He's in the eighth inning, set up guy 24 00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.480 for Sea Walden. We asked him to do a lot last night. Getting 25 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.239 Trey Turner and then Bryce Harp ro out back to back was was pivotal. 26 00:01:53.400 --> 00:02:00.159 And I love all the in this conversation we this we well, he I 27 00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:07.840 guess you're allowed, right, I'm allowed for like for like six more months. 28 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.840 I heard jan we we we. I don't say we about the Dodgers. 29 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.039 They never say we. I got rid of that forty years ago. 30 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.560 Oh yeah, I occasionally say we on Arizona, but not but not on 31 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.199 the Dodgers, and not on like any other teams like that. It's tough. 32 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.199 I'm just, I'm just, you know, it's okay, comes out 33 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.319 when past Dodgers and you don't kill the Diamondbacks. Don't cover that. You 34 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.080 could be yeah, because who else is we? Some other kids are saying 35 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.919 we Yeah, they say we buy Arizona, Arizona. Yeah, yeah, 36 00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:40.319 I go to school here, Jo your moment, dude, while I have 37 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.400 twenty three, two, twenty four and two weeks they come back. Don't 38 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.800 let the grumpy men. Don't let the grumpy all fart tell you what to 39 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.199 Oh, it's tough. This is the second. I mean, I was 40 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.639 eight years old when the Cardinals went to the Yeah, well I was you're 41 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.039 you're you're from Phoenix, you're you're a fan of the of the air of 42 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.159 the sports up there, and you know, getting the championships has not been 43 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:15.800 freaking far far from honest. Yeah, my brother is twenty one okay here 44 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:17.560 too. Yeah he's down here as a junior, but gonna do he's an 45 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:21.599 accounting major. I was gonna say, he's not gonna be a broke journalist 46 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.479 like you. No, no, no, So my sister is a is 47 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:27.680 a teacher. And then I'm gonna be the broke journalist, and then my 48 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.159 brother is gonna make the rich account for both of them. He's gonna be 49 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.080 in some like national accounting for yeah, the money. And so when I 50 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.080 need something, I'll just text Q exactly. But so diamond back to Marte 51 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:44.639 n LCS m v P, and he has now the longest postseason hitting streak. 52 00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:46.800 I saw that sixteen games. So that's good for him. And he's 53 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.879 been through it with the with this squad, and it's good to see him 54 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.280 go to uh go to a World Series. But the NBA is back. 55 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.400 I just want you to know too, Okay, Christian Walker and can tell 56 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.919 Marte where my fantasy team is. They go? So I did not and 57 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:06.439 Zach Gallon, okay, let's go. That's a shock. That's unbelieva. 58 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.599 They were all all three of those guys were on my fantasy. No one 59 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.159 that rained this week or whatever. I know, it's nice. My team 60 00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.759 did suck though. Hey, that's okay, that's not a shot. That's 61 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.319 fine, that's fine, okay, But the NBA's back. I don't know 62 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:26.680 if you guys got a chance to watch last night since the Diamondbacks and there 63 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.000 were other sports going on. But the Nuggets beat the Lakers one nineteen, 64 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.639 one oh seven, and Nicole Jokic had another triple double, and it looks 65 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.959 like it doesn't matter. I mean, Jamal Murray's fantastic, but they have 66 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.759 a bunch of rookies and new bench guys. It doesn't matter who you put 67 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.360 around them. They're just gonna be better. So I only saw a tweet 68 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.040 to this effect, but apparently Charles Barkley went up on the post game redded 69 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.000 Anthony Davis like a horrible So what happened was he had seventeen points at halftime, 70 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:55.560 looked good, and he Anthony Davis was was talking a lot of yes 71 00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.279 over the offseason about how it was personal or something whatever with the nugg Gets 72 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.160 team in the parade, and so he had maybe felt there was some motivation 73 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.480 coming into the season in this game, had seventeen points in the first half, 74 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.360 didn't score point in the second half. Oh yo, yall can't do 75 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.759 that. I can't do that. You can't I saw this thing. You 76 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.800 can't do that if you're Anthony Davis saw this thing. Is like Anthony Davis 77 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:23.839 was officially motivated for one half of that, So I know and then Charles 78 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.800 Brokley talked about the the road management stuff is you're making fifty to sixty million 79 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.759 dollars a year play the game. You can't play hard whole a whole game. 80 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.639 What's the big deal? You know? Back in the day when they 81 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.199 played it was it was rough tumble basketball and they didn't load management. That 82 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.800 came what three or four five years? Yeah, yeah, well more than 83 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.639 that, but yeah, it's only been around for a while. Sleep better, 84 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.160 Hey, but there is new rules in place, and I do. 85 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.480 I was listening to Zachlow. He has a real good podcast, and it 86 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:58.399 did sound like these guys are gonna be up for more games and I don't. 87 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.319 And again you have to see it to believe it. But so what 88 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.000 they're gonna take time off during games? Now? No, No, we're 89 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.560 saying the the quick the quick rule. The quick briefness of this is that 90 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:14.560 if you're if you're classified as a superstar, aka you've made an All NBA 91 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.079 team for second or third or you've been an All Star in the last two 92 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:23.319 or three years, I believe you're classified as a star. And so if 93 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:29.240 you have a star on your team, that player cannot miss for like load 94 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.399 management reasons more than two games in a row. So if a back on 95 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.120 a back to back, they either have to like miss the first one or 96 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:43.439 it's it's it's all just these little nuances that personally, if it does contribute 97 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.240 to them playing more basketball, I'm all for. But we will really see 98 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.720 that. Yeah. So so they were talking about that this morning. So 99 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.639 game day one was yesterday right now, we didn't even talk about that because 100 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.040 we don't have any rosters from We don't have any x n A U of 101 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.399 A guys. We need to talk about that. Who's on the roster? 102 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.800 Yeah, but uh, but why worry about it? It's November, right, 103 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.720 you have to worry about it in April May when all this comes for 104 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:10.319 wishing if they make the playoffs. But but if Jay, if you're spending 105 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.879 you take your son and your grandson to a game, spend two hundred bucks 106 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:15.680 on tickets and they don't show up to play usually, what the hell did 107 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.439 I come for? This? Absolutely? You know a few years ago and 108 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.959 this was this wasn't the like when the Warriors were winning the all those championships. 109 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.079 You know, I got I got my my daughter Rachel, who was 110 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:32.040 a huge steph Curry fan technically got her repair of tickets to the Sun's Warriors 111 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.879 game up here, and my son was supposed to was the one who was 112 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.079 going to take her, and because I knew he wanted to go way more 113 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.120 than I did. And then I just crossed my fingers that all those guys 114 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.319 were going to play in that game, and unfortunately they did. But you 115 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:51.000 didn't know, you know, and I thought the likelihood that that that those 116 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:56.600 guys would take a day off in a in a in a division game was 117 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:01.160 slim, but you still had to think about, yeah, no doubt. 118 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.279 And it's it's really interesting because people break it down and they go like, 119 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.199 oh, can they miss But there's now in season tournament, which granted I 120 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.600 don't know what I like, I don't know if guys are gonna get up 121 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:20.319 for this, but it does it does possibly emphasize because they're regular season games 122 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.560 and so it does maybe emphasize like that you you should be playing in these 123 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.879 games, right But anyway, the the Lakers got beat again, Nuggets look 124 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.360 like a phenomenal team, and the Suns beat the Warriors in San Francisco. 125 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.120 Green didn't play. Draymond Green didn't play Neither did Bradley Beal for the Suns, 126 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.240 So they beat him one eight, one oh four. In a Devin 127 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.240 Booker, I would say master class. He had thirty two, six and 128 00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:52.360 eight and was ultra efficient. He's he's unbelievable, and as someone that's watched 129 00:08:52.399 --> 00:09:00.240 him since his Kentucky and his Kentucky days, and for him to just appreciate 130 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:05.440 the growth that the NBA has given him is amazing because the team was terrible 131 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.840 when he was drafted by the Sons. Terrible ownership, terrible head coach. 132 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.919 And he similarly to like to tell Marte and the Diamondbacks, he roughed it 133 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.879 for a long time. Yeah, and he had this quote, I want 134 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.600 to say, three years ago is where why would I leave? I want 135 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:24.639 the super team to come to me quote unquote, and Kem Durant Bradley Beal, 136 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.639 the team looks really good. Durant looks like a thirty five year old 137 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.240 a little bit more, which is a little scary. Bradley Beal was out 138 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.399 due to back stiffness, so he's look at he's already missed a game. 139 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:41.799 Yeah, we'll see if the Sons can be durable enough to be a title 140 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.039 contender. But you haven't come. You haven't you've been here, what about 141 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.480 three weeks? Four weeks? Maybe? So you you were here, your 142 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.120 sons you're so huge, so without Yeah, well we talked about it. 143 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:56.440 You were here. Yeah, we talked about it. Yeah. So I 144 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.480 those that know me, I was not a big eight and fan in terms 145 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.480 of his production and his attitude, his mentality when it came to winning basketball. 146 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:11.000 I didn't think that he was the best person to be in a locker 147 00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.679 room, to be on a team if you're trying to win an NBA championship. 148 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.120 I think in Portland he's going to be successful. I think he's going 149 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.919 to have good numbers because he's just ultra talented. But he just didn't have 150 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.960 what this team needed him to produce. And we talked a little bit about 151 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.600 it when Jay wasn't here. But yeah, so so okay, I wasn't. 152 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.120 I couldn't remember how man old dudes. But now all that year of 153 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.799 the twenty seventeen, eighteen whatever it was with Trier in him and Elkins, 154 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.840 doesn't it all make sense? Yeah, it totally makes sense. You are 155 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.360 who you are and not just one dude, right right? Those A few 156 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.320 dudes, Yeah, a bunch of dudes, and who of those guys is 157 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.480 running around in the NBA right now? Besides and who and who? It's 158 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.600 really because he's such a physical specimen that people feel like there's got to be 159 00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.399 something there sure, and there is, Like, as someone that has watched 160 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.120 him for four straight years now, there is something about his skill and about 161 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.919 his talent that so many people aren't blessed with or can't we'll never have in 162 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.480 their lifeople in the world exactly. And so I think he's still he's what 163 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.200 is he twenty three years old? He's still a kid. And I really 164 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.120 hope, I honestly, I hope the best for him in Portland and yeah, 165 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.559 just because you want to see guys that graduated here successful and it just 166 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.360 didn't work out in Phoenix, and I think they're better off. And so 167 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:41.080 tonight actually they're eight and is in uh In. We'll suit up for the 168 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.559 Blazers. They'll play obviously no Dame, so we'll we'll see how he looks. 169 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.120 There's a couple other uf A guys out there. TJ McConnell still running 170 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:58.320 around cousin Ka Pacers, Did ye did did last year's guy? God? 171 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.080 Last year? This guy. Yeah, that's just did he make the I 172 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.799 think he's on a roster for the Sixers. Yeah, he's either on their 173 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.720 G League team. I mean he's a two weak guy. Yeah, he's 174 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.440 a two week I think I think he's on the G I think he got 175 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.639 sent down to the GA development And I wouldn't be I wouldn't be surprised, 176 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.159 especially if Philly does blow up quote unquote, like if Harden, Harden will 177 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.440 be gone and Embid could get unhappy and then all of a sudden, they're 178 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.919 now a development team and he could find his way inness some minutes. And 179 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.440 I really hope Dale Terry plays a little bit more this year. But they 180 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.840 have a loaded or a lot of bodies in their back court, so we'll 181 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.919 see. Speaking of Harden, Aaron Torre's reporting that the Clippers, who were 182 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.519 in the market for possibly trading for James Hardener, just said, we're done. 183 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.279 Forget it, We're not doing so and I saw these things. If 184 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.000 he doesn't report to the Sixers within thirty days, he becomes a free agent. 185 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.840 So there's something they can stop paying and they can they can be off. 186 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.919 And so maybe that's what Harden. Honestly, maybe that's what. It's 187 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.080 better for both parties, but the Sixers would then get nothing in return. 188 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.879 Yeah, but you know, beware whoever goes and gets like that. It's 189 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.679 tough. It is really tough. But so the rest of the NBA is 190 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.480 in action tonight. Way. Aaron Torres says, I didn't understand why everyone 191 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.080 assumed they'd be a market for a thirty four year old, out of shape, 192 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.879 malcontent who quits on his team and chokes in the playoffs. You wouldn't 193 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.159 want him on your team. Exactly who he is, and that says everything 194 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:39.080 about who James Harden is. It's what's It's sad because that James Harden has 195 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.480 really come to fruition in the last five years when he was between twenty five 196 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.840 and thirty. He's a killer. Yeah, he's a killer. He's awesome. 197 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.440 One of the best scores I've ever watched. Yeah, and it's it's 198 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:56.639 tough, but we got a minute thirteen. Yeah, we're run through it. 199 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.960 But we can talk about the Michigan stuff more after the break, baby, 200 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.960 maybe, But really, the only good football game aside from U of 201 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.320 A Oregon State, in our minds would be organ Utah and the rest of 202 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.960 the slate is really bad. And lastly, forty nine Yers quarterback Rock Party. 203 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.320 They just lost obviously in Monday Night to Kirk Cousins and the Vikings. 204 00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:22.320 He's in concussion protocol, right, and maybe Sam Darnold will see some action. 205 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.879 I don't really think there's that big of a drop off between the two, 206 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:31.600 but yeah, there is show. I'm on Wikipedia, the Trustful Bible 207 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.480 of Everything. It said that he was waived by the seventy six ers on 208 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:41.639 October twenty five. Oh that today interesting, just sraight today. So he's 209 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.679 waved today, waved today like maybe just now. Yeah, So we'll talk 210 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.600 about that because we hear this all the time, the guys jumping ship and 211 00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:52.879 blah blah blah. He wouldn't he is who he is. He would have 212 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:54.840 stayed here, he wouldn't have got any better, but he would have been 213 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.080 the same guy, right right. He is what he is, He is, 214 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.440 who is exactly who he's been. Good basketball, good basketball, good 215 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.200 clogs, basketball player, good guys. And he'll make a living, yeah 216 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.600 you know, but but he is what he is. In he'll have to 217 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.679 shoot. You start shooting three pointers more. We got to go all right, 218 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.159 let's get out of here. We're gonna come back. We've got a 219 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.200 Adrian denny coming up.

Hi doing Adrian, the 310 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.039 guys, thanks for having me already started the season. You guys are looking 311 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.319 pretty good. What the heck like it? Three and one on the year 312 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.039 one yesterday two to one in front of over four thousand school kids from uh 313 00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:17.359 from Penakeema County schools and and beyond here in southern Arizona. It was. 314 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:21.359 It was a fun Tuesday morning and we all took the rest of the afternoon 315 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:23.920 off and uh gond be back at it Friday and Saturday against Bakersfield here in 316 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.359 Tucson. Did you go get some fishing in or what did you do? 317 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.920 Maybe? Uh, you know, take a hike? Uh what do you 318 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.359 do? Something like that? Much left? I left right as you guys 319 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.960 were going off the air, and uh, we went straight into two happy 320 00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.680 hours. So I actually didn't get home until my uh my usual time of 321 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.920 after six o'clock. But anyway, it was good and it was good in 322 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.480 spirit, and I had three taco after which they usually wouldn't be able to 323 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.599 do after after an evening game maybe long close. So uh yeah it worked 324 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.799 out. Uh kind of a leisurely afternoon and uh a good dinner after our 325 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.039 show, so go three on one. Yeah. How important is a start 326 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:03.680 like that for you know, because it's a long season and you know you 327 00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:07.960 start bad, you're going, well, we'll get over, but it's still 328 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.160 still important to get a good feel for it, set up, maybe set 329 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.640 a tone, don't you think.

And the difference is as you move move down the stretch 334 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.279 of the season, you have the depth that you had in October, and 335 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:40.000 I think this year we do and we've Last year we had a little more 336 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.880 than the year before, and then the year before that, we had a 337 00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:47.680 really good lineup to start the season and it lasted lasted two days before the 338 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:51.279 call ups started coming like crazy, and that we were just pieced together the 339 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:52.480 rest of the way. But this year, I think, I think we've 340 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:59.279 got a deep group. We've got six seven guys that aren't in the lineup 341 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.480 right now that would be really in any other year. Interesting. Interesting, 342 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.920 It's always good to have talent. Yeah, So yeah, and this this, 343 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:12.640 this, this team is it's it's got a lot of got a lot 344 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:17.279 of different components to it. There's seven guys that we've seen that have been 345 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:22.079 real, real nemesis for us around the American Hockey League in the Pacific Division 346 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.519 that the Coyotes went out and signed as depth players to two way contracts that 347 00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.079 have been a sign of a to the Roadrunners. So that's that's a big 348 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.160 piece of it too. Adding to the prospects that have been here three four 349 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.279 years, the guy's starting out for the first time, and and then just 350 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:40.759 the core group. Is it too early to tell, you know, what 351 00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:44.799 what the team is sort of what its character is or what it you know 352 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.799 the way it's going to play, the way it's gonna win. Uh, 353 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.400 I mean, I know it's four games and or is it still you feel 354 00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:55.799 developing its personality? Well, if you look at the three wins, Jay, 355 00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.720 the Roadrunners have won a three to two game and a pair of two 356 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.200 games, so three wins by a single goal, all in regulation where at 357 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.240 the end they've had to fend off and extended time with with no goalie on 358 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.880 the other end and the other team playing six on five, So they've they've 359 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:18.039 been winning the close ones. They've gotten great goaltending for Matt Malalta knew this 360 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:21.640 year. He's with the Ontario Rain in California and the La Kings organization the 361 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:25.839 last four years and he's been the guy in between the pipes for all four 362 00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.960 games. And he's I said, he's won a three HL goalies to start 363 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.920 four games this year and he's got the best numbers, so he's been good. 364 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.519 He's made those stays. Yesterday against San Jose or I'm sorry, against 365 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:40.720 San Diego, the Roadbunners got more shots than they've had in the first four 366 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.720 games and allowed the fewest shots and made allowed in the first four games. 367 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:47.759 The most shots for fewest shots against, and it was it was good to 368 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.119 be able to get one there for Matt without mc in thirty five, thirty 369 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.640 six, thirty seven shots. You've been here maybe a handful of years now, 370 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.039 I think, correct me if I'm wrong, But could you talk about 371 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.680 the popularity of it down here now? Is it kind of improving? Yeah, 372 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:08.160 this is my sixth year, this is our eighth year, and yeah, 373 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:14.440 it's it's fun like two sons a big city, and you know, 374 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.640 you can you can kind of blend in and not not really be noticed in 375 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.559 a lot of these big cities. And and I feel like anytime I go 376 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:25.880 out, like my daily routine, like going to circle k in the morning 377 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.319 and up in Sabino Canyon on my run and out in the neighborhood, everybody 378 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:34.200 knows, right, everybody knows about the Roadrunners and who they are. And 379 00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:38.480 and you got a lot of folks that are that are from hockey markets to 380 00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:45.000 come here and as snowbirds or retire full time or come to college here or 381 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.079 just end up here for for you know, professional reasons, to raise the 382 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:53.359 family, and and it's it's a good good base to add to our base. 383 00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.440 And I know, our players feel, uh feel like, you know, 384 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:02.480 everywhere they go, restaurants, on golf courses, just just hiking out 385 00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:07.839 as well, that they always seem to end up in a conversation that gets 386 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.119 struck up about the Roadrunners. So it's it's good. It's fun. Right 387 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.480 in cities and millions and millions of people, you can you can blend in. 388 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:15.960 Everybody kind of does their own thing. But here we kind of feel 389 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.240 like everywhere we go, everybody everybody knows about the Roadrunners. That's very cool. 390 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:22.839 Is there is there a way, you know, you know, at 391 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.240 this level of hockey, you know, these guys are all you know, 392 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.079 they've got one a goal in mind, you to get up into the NHL. 393 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.920 So the teams maybe change around and stuff like that year to year. 394 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:34.720 But is there any way of telling, you know, wh where's the cream 395 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.640 of the crop in this league? Uh? You know, are the are 396 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.319 the road Runners? One of them? Is a tour to tell? Is 397 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:45.160 it so unpredictable because guys come and go? I mean, how does that? 398 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.160 How does that work? You know, we were talking about it yesterday. 399 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.279 I'm Happy Hour with Hunter Drew, one of one of our players who 400 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.400 played for San Diego the last four years, and he scored our first goal 401 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.839 yesterday. It is in his first game playing with us against his former team, 402 00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.000 and we're talking like gosh, like, you look at these teams in 403 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.839 the specific division and everybody's good. And then we're like, well, that's 404 00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:12.640 because everybody wants to play in these cities, right, like Tucson, Southern 405 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:18.559 California, Las Vegas. Like people want to live in the cities where where 406 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.160 our teams in the division are and by country. Like there's some to that, 407 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.440 right, He's like, oh, no question, everybody wants to play 408 00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:30.759 in this division. So the free agents, the depth players that that get 409 00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:34.559 added here or are are here because this is where they want to play. 410 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:38.720 And and that's it's an advantage for for our teams to get good players, 411 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:45.000 but everybody else in the divisions signing signing good players too. Yeah, that's 412 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.039 right. That probably makes it pretty hard. I was We talked to the 413 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.720 president of the Coyotes a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, we had a 414 00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.039 lot of fun with him. He was great with us. Yeah, that 415 00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.920 was fun. I enjoyed that. Great to hear that he sounds like fun 416 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:06.160 And I'm thinking they're hoping for your success, because your success is their success. 417 00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:10.440 Yeah. Absolutely, And and you know, with with the new television 418 00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.960 deal with with Script Sports and all the games over the air on here in 419 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:19.599 Tucson on on channel nine point two, which what is it last tv l 420 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.480 A s FS is where I've been watching the Coyotes over the air, Like 421 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:30.279 that's that's really really cool for for everybody in Arizona to be able to see 422 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.519 them over the air without having to worry about a you know, a satellite 423 00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:38.680 provider dispute or just not having the channel or having to pay an extra twenty 424 00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:42.279 a month to get it. So that's that's a big thing. And I've 425 00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.839 I've heard from a lot of people here that you know, watching the Coyotes 426 00:29:47.519 --> 00:29:52.160 every night and that's that's, Uh, that's pretty awesome. So when the 427 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.880 when is there is there a period of time that you start seeing the traffic 428 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.519 going between the Coyotes and Roadrunners? Is it? You know, is now? 429 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:02.799 Is it a month into the season? When do you start to see 430 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.000 some of that and then's start having an impact on the on the road Runners 431 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:11.039 Coyotes had a couple of guys go down, nothing nothing major. On Saturday, 432 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.279 two guys left the game on Saturday up there at Mula Areena and their 433 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:19.440 home opener Mike Carconi and Jason Zucker And and that led to Jan Yannik and 434 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:25.519 Zack Sanford being called up from the Roadrunners and and they were up with with 435 00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:27.599 the Coyotes. They didn't play last night in Los Angeles, but they were 436 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:32.799 with the team and fortunately, fortunately good news on the injury front. Mike 437 00:30:32.839 --> 00:30:36.359 Carconi was in the lineup last night for the Coyotes, picking up an assists, 438 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:38.839 the former Roadrunner obviously and leading scorer in the AHL last year. And 439 00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:44.720 both Zach and Jan were assigned back to the Roadrunners today. So it just 440 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:47.039 just kind of depends. You know, you had two guys leave, and 441 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:52.200 you know, convenient to have them drive up their Sunday morning and practice and 442 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.160 be ready for the game yesterday if needed. And now now good news on 443 00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.559 on the injury front with the players who had left the game, and then 444 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:03.680 Zach and the honor back with us. All right, so could you give 445 00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.000 us your schedule? You got a couple of games coming up this weekend, 446 00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:07.039 right, That's one of the reasons we called you. I wanted to get 447 00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:10.960 you on the show.

And then we had to wait to fly out the Bayer of 598 00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:59.639 the next week, right, Yeah, I remember trying to get to the 599 00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:02.800 game.

They lost four games to two and four games to 606 00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:42.119 one, and then they went from nineteen thirty seven to ninety eighty four. 607 00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:45.920 Who before another U of a guy was and that was Lefferts, who was 608 00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:50.920 in who got in the World Series with the Padres So it's Lieber Lefferts. 609 00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:53.639 Joe McGrain played and one with the Cardinals. Ron Hassey played in three. 610 00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:57.679 Lefferts played in another one, so he forgot to play in two. I 611 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.039 would really like to talk to some of those guys. Yeah, Ericson, 612 00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:02.880 Oh, you know, it was funny good. We had that brief conversation 613 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:06.719 with the Pat Darcy, you know, about his time in the World Series 614 00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:08.039 and stuff. He remember, I mean, that's the thing, right, 615 00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:10.920 we were all little kids, we were all little kids saying, you know, 616 00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:14.639 they were in the World Series artom of the ninth and you know you 617 00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:16.159 hit a home run over the you know, over the fence and you bust 618 00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:20.039 a window or something like that. So that's very cool. Now, we 619 00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.039 also need to mention that another guy who's been on the show and who were 620 00:43:23.039 --> 00:43:25.480 trying to get on again, but he's gone through going through some hell things 621 00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:31.079 is Terry Francona won two Arizona player, but who won two World Series as 622 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:36.199 a manager with the with the Red Sox and actually got into another and a 623 00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:39.199 game seven of another with the Indians a few years ago that year that the 624 00:43:39.199 --> 00:43:43.599 Cubs won. And so yeah, Sarazna's got some history back there. Maybe 625 00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.519 you know, schools like USC even a su with you know, Barry Bonds 626 00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:51.159 and Reggie Jackson. They've got some other other guys, but uh, you 627 00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:52.840 know, not a bad history of Arizona guys playing in the World Series. 628 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:58.800 Very cool. There is a baseball mecca, or at least no, yeah, 629 00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:00.119 it is. It is known for then been for a really long time. 630 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:02.639 I mean at least since I was a little kid going to Ari Zone 631 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:07.599 baseball games, you know, I mean all the way back to when they 632 00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.199 their field was that what the old Sants that used to be, but it 633 00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:14.159 was bleachers, it wasn't a grand stand. And then when they had big 634 00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:17.199 games like ASU, they'd go play at High Corbett Field. Yeah, and 635 00:44:17.239 --> 00:44:21.360 then there would be so many people at the games at High Corbett there weren't 636 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.159 enough seats and people would sit on the on the warning track, around around 637 00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:29.480 the around the fence, and if a ball got hit into them, it 638 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.159 was a ground row double. So let me ask you, so back in 639 00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:34.639 then I got here in eighty seven, when they were really good in the 640 00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:39.440 eighties or their kindle really good, would you say that they were but a 641 00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:44.239 savvy group the fans. I'm talking about the fans. Savvy group kind of 642 00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:47.920 like because the basketball did the basketball, I'm seeing those fans were a way 643 00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:52.000 ahead of the basketball fans. Yeah, in terms of popularity. Yeah, 644 00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:54.559 because it did they sell out a lot? Did they fill up the well, 645 00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:58.519 yeah, that fill up. You know. They had some huge games, 646 00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:00.000 you know, that's why they built it. That's they built the grand 647 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:05.519 stand that the old Sanset field that you remember, because I mean they would 648 00:45:05.559 --> 00:45:08.079 have some huge games there. And so yeah, and and the Arizona a 649 00:45:08.199 --> 00:45:15.360 SU rivalry was a hundred times more intense than it is now because they were 650 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:19.239 really good. Arizona was really good. They were both winning College World Series. 651 00:45:20.000 --> 00:45:22.519 USC was winning a bunch of them at that time. To Stanford was 652 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:25.679 due. So the I mean the you know back what people remember the old 653 00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:29.400 six pack, you know, the six teams in the in the league, 654 00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:31.719 the Southern California schools, the Bayris schools, in the Arizona schools. Let's 655 00:45:31.719 --> 00:45:35.800 take this call. Hi, you're on the air and I on the ball. 656 00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:38.880 Hey, you guys, this is Gabriel. How are you guys doing 657 00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:43.480 well? Good? Gabriel, how are you? I'm doing pretty good? 658 00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:50.519 Hey? Can we talk about Kevin? Someone issues? Just don't coach yet. 659 00:45:52.639 --> 00:46:00.400 I won't so you know how, you know how Arizona fans like to 660 00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:06.840 feel like feel about Kevin? Someone listened. I think he's worth I think 661 00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:13.079 he was worse to the Arizona program compared to John mcca. Here's why, 662 00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:19.960 and here's the only reason why. Seventy to seven and clearly he didn't careish 663 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:25.039 he didn't care about this job. And basically, I mean, I'm I 664 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:30.119 mean, I'm not surprised he I mean, I'm not surprised he he had 665 00:46:30.440 --> 00:46:34.679 off the fields, Ye, he was, like he spent more. I 666 00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:38.280 mean, he's he spent most of his time at the bar and not and 667 00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:45.760 not coaching on it and not coaching at Arizona, unlike I mean, Jeff 668 00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:52.320 Fish is spending all of his time at Arizona. I'm not blowing all of 669 00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:57.639 his money at the bar. So that's my honest Thingion be nice. I 670 00:46:57.679 --> 00:47:00.519 know you aren't, weren't already, but I hear you, Gabe. You 671 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:05.440 know he was he was bad for Arizona. You know, he he really 672 00:47:05.480 --> 00:47:07.440 put us in a hole for a really long time. And I and I'm 673 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:12.159 I'm still angry at him. Obviously you're you're still angry at him. Well, 674 00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:14.840 I think you're. I think your nickname of him the last time you 675 00:47:14.920 --> 00:47:21.960 call it was pretty funny. Vin. So yeah, I mean, I 676 00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:24.480 you know, I think the main reaction you're hearing about what happened to him 677 00:47:24.800 --> 00:47:30.199 over the weekend is that people aren't surprised. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 678 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:36.719 yeah, I'm not so, Gabe, just we had and also did you 679 00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:42.000 and did you guys all of the Tucson media guys kind of note that something, 680 00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:47.119 something is not right with him by justin kind of hinted we heard things. 681 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:51.760 We all heard things, you know, I mean there wasn't any any 682 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.840 proof. We all heard things, but it wasn't anything you could report because 683 00:47:54.840 --> 00:48:00.559 you didn't have, you know, verification of stuff. But we all heard 684 00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:07.440 stuff, so we're not surprised. And also one more thing, I think 685 00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:14.280 I told you guys that my bull pradition is for Lencoln Riley too for next 686 00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:20.239 year to not to not coach at USC. So that's my bull predition I 687 00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:25.840 think is going to be the next raging narcissist at USC. So. So, 688 00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:29.840 Gabe, what do you go to school? You may, right, 689 00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:35.239 Yeah, what do you study? I'm curious? Uh? Biology? I 690 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.079 wanted to be a conservationist for reptiles, Okay, I thought I was going 691 00:48:38.159 --> 00:48:46.400 to major in sarcast That's okay, not apart. We love you, Gabe, 692 00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:51.599 thank you for calling. Appreciate it. Thank you guys. He's past 693 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:55.400 the semester with smart Man. He got halfway there, didn't he got halfway 694 00:48:55.440 --> 00:49:00.480 there? I saw you're for the button he was, he was half there. 695 00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:07.440 We're I mean, you know, you just never know me, just 696 00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:09.599 like okay, I got I gotta get I gotta get I gotta get this 697 00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:14.000 someone stuff off my chest. So I'm gonna call those guys right now. 698 00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:17.519 That's so funny. I love him. I love that guy. You know 699 00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:21.559 this makes us laugh, man, Yeah, that makes us laugh. We're 700 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:23.599 like, oh, come on, well we're on edge. Yes, we're 701 00:49:23.599 --> 00:49:27.440 definitely on edge. But that was that was good. But anyway, so 702 00:49:27.639 --> 00:49:29.760 yeah, you know, but anyway, going back to the Arizona stuff, 703 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:31.519 you know, it was a big deal. You know, Arizon Baseball was 704 00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:35.320 a big deal. And then you know, Drake Kendall won that that first 705 00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:37.400 you know, national championship in seventy six. It went, I mean it 706 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:42.519 went off the charts. After that they won they won uh uh, you 707 00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:46.599 know three championships in well eleven seasons, you know, yea seventy six, 708 00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:51.360 eighty eight. I don't think he this might be stupid, probably saying this 709 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:53.239 because I don't know enough that he doesn't get enough credit for what he did. 710 00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:58.039 Oh he gets plenty of credit. Where where I just among people who 711 00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:00.760 you know, people who know what Arizona baseball, they give all the credit 712 00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:05.119 because you know, we talk about he did this. But you know what 713 00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:08.679 I'm saying, Jerry, Jerry is Jerry is widely regarded, at least from 714 00:50:08.679 --> 00:50:14.280 where I said, Jerry's widely regarded, not quite to the Loudolson level because 715 00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:20.559 of the sport. No, no, but because basketball is a bigger deal. 716 00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:22.880 That's because of the sport. It's you're right, because of the sport, 717 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:28.000 it's a bigger deal. But in terms of you know what loodoles the 718 00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.679 impact Ludolfson had on basketball compared to the impact that people feel Jerry Kendall had 719 00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:36.760 on baseball and put base you know, put baseball on the map. Yeah, 720 00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:38.719 he gets he gets a similar credit. Well to me, it's like 721 00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:44.440 Kendrew who wouldn't love Kendra? Right? Eight championships and no matter who comes 722 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.360 along after right, right, and and Jerry had three come on. If 723 00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:50.320 Loot would have had three, oh, come on, that statue would have 724 00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:52.719 been out of gold. Yeah yeah, or there would have been like three 725 00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.239 of them rather there have been one in the front, one in the back, 726 00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:58.679 and one on the side, right right right. You know what I'm 727 00:50:58.679 --> 00:51:00.960 saying, it's no, he can he Kendle gets that's not easy because he's 728 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:06.719 not Kendall does get that that level of credit close to that level of credit 729 00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:09.079 because but the thing is with with with baseball, you had guys like Andy 730 00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:13.920 Lopez come along, you know, wins another national champion, Jay you know 731 00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:15.719 Jay Johnson. You know, I'm you know, nearly one one in a 732 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.199 very short period of time here, you know, so no, I think, 733 00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:22.360 uh, and then chip Hale, like you know, look, if 734 00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:27.840 not for Jerry Kendall, there's no chip Hale coaching and right so there you 735 00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.000 know, it's the legs, you know, chip Hale is that legacy that 736 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:34.199 Jerry Kendall left sort of like you know, a legacy that loot left for 737 00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:37.360 some of the guys here. So I think that's the way people see it 738 00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:39.519 that way. I really And you said, I don't hang around the baseball 739 00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:43.159 crowd, so I wouldn't know. But you know he did a lot. 740 00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:45.119 He did a lot, Yeah, he really did. You go needs a 741 00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:49.039 statue head to High Corbet or something, you know, but you know they 742 00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:51.679 but then there's Frank Sanset, who you know did a lot as well. 743 00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:53.760 You know they have a field for him, Yeah, he had a Field's 744 00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:59.119 gone. Well it's I can't help you. I think it's Sanset field a 745 00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.760 high Corbet something or something out of them that I know. There's a plaque 746 00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:07.079 for him. It's there's a plaque for him. You have a plaque, 747 00:52:08.119 --> 00:52:10.960 I know. But I put that up myself. Nobody. All right, 748 00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:14.559 we got to get out of here. I had it, I had it 749 00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:16.199 made myself. All right. We got to hit the road. Uh, 750 00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:19.880 I'll be I'll be at the women's basketball game tonight, so I'll report on 751 00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:22.400 that a little bit tomorrow.
