You know, 6 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.120 Steve, I probably shouldn't have even played that because I don't have much, 7 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.439 but we got some stuff to talk about. We can also take your 8 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.079 calls because we're not going to be able to take calls pretty much the rest 9 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:36.799 of right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, if you want to give 10 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.560 us a call this segment, feel free to do that. Five two zero, 11 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.840 four one six seventy four forty. Because we do have Greg Woods from 12 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:49.320 the Spokesman Review and Spokane, he cars Washington State Football. He'll be joining 13 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.280 us as guests in the next segment. Then in the last segment, we 14 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.079 got our five Friday Fab five Friday picks such as they are, So if 15 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.079 you want to give us a call, now's the time five speak for yourself. 16 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.439 Four one six All right, Well, obviously the big news was the 17 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:10.159 Braves got beat last night. So now three three one hundred win teams in 18 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.640 the regular season went down in flames in the playoffs with one win and nine 19 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.799 losses combined, the Dodgers, the Orioles, and the Braves. The Braves 20 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.959 is historic because they were having a historic offensive season. Everybody was saying they 21 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.439 may have been the best offense ever, ever, ever, ever. And 22 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.920 you know, I didn't think that the Dodgers had any chance in hell of 23 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.560 taking them out. And now the Braves are out here, We got we 24 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:41.159 do have a color higher on the air and I on the ball. How's 25 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.719 it going? I'm not you know what, I don't even want to talk 26 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.239 to you, Brian. You know, you were texting me and you'd even 27 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:49.719 let me get out of the damn stadium, and you're and you're giving me 28 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:55.719 crap about the game the other night, and I and I'm proud of it. 29 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.480 You are proud of it. So what do you got, man? 30 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.159 Well, I'm still I'm pretty worried about the game this weekend. My my 31 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:10.120 biggest problem is the emotional toll last week's game took on the team rightly, 32 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.680 so right, So I don't know, I don't know because I think they 33 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.639 feel pretty good about themselves after that game last year. I you know, 34 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.639 I agree with you. I agree with you. I don't agree with Jay's 35 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.400 assumption, but I agree with you. Okay, Well, hey, weren't 36 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.000 you the one that said I was Somebody called me a moron? Last week? 37 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.919 Was it you about my prediction for no? No, no, I 38 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.479 got called I don't remember that. I don't remember that word. Somebody called 39 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:40.120 me a name? Are you wife? Public? I don't know what to 40 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.120 think of this game, right, I mean, what what do you think? 41 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.680 It's? This is a This is really difficult because I watched that U 42 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.280 c l A. Washington State game last week and they did not impress me 43 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:58.120 at all. What defense did? They just didn't look that good. And 44 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.159 but it's hard, you know, it's really hard to tell. You know. 45 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.400 I hope the U of A players look at it is. We should 46 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.919 have won that game, but we didn't. You know, we have to 47 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.599 get past that. But we know that we have six games ahead of it 48 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.439 that could really change the way this program's moving forward. Next six games. 49 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.800 Yeah, I asked about the Washington State game because they had I think they 50 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.400 had like three or four turnovers, right, and they played UCLA close despite 51 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:29.360 those turnovers. I agree they didn't look impressive, but that was one game 52 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.080 or a snapshot of the season. Had you watched Arizona play Stanford, you 53 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:37.439 would have thought, what, yeah, the same thing exactly. We'll get 54 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.680 by fifty against Washington exact exactly exactly. So you know, one snapshot is 55 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.280 not enough. But beat on the road up there is not going to be 56 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.800 easy. I think the one thing, it's gone from twelve to seven and 57 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.439 a half. It was eight yesterday. That's what we're using. So so, 58 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.919 Brian, would you take the seven and a half? That's a tough 59 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.159 one exactly, that's really difficult. I don't think so exactly. Yeah, 60 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.719 yeah, I mean my biggest problem is going on the road and we still 61 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.759 don't know who the quarterback is going to be, and uh, I hope 62 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.480 it's not DeLaura, only to the fact that whenever he seems to play this 63 00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:19.319 team, he has a difficult time. There's a lot of he's trying to 64 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.199 do. Maybe he's trying to do too much. That's where I think that's 65 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.600 where Jed got is out where he doesn't have to play him and just kind 66 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.800 of Jayden will going to rest to one more week, get you to buy, 67 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.759 and then you two more weeks to get really healthy. Then you then 68 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.720 you can play. But he has but he has a real problem though. 69 00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:45.879 If by chance Arizona wins his game, it's difficult for the fans to say, 70 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.680 let's go back to DeLaura. Yeah. I don't know that guy though. 71 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.240 I don't think he cares about what the fans stake, which of course 72 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:56.319 is probably not wise, but it is what it is. Well, they're 73 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.439 the ones who buy the tickets. Well sometimes yea. Sometimes just because you 74 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.519 buy a ticket doesn't make you a freaking coach. I know that's fun to 75 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.439 play one though the radio. Yes, I hope you're doing it for the 76 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:14.879 couch, like Justin says, all right, Brian, thanks much, man. 77 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.839 I just had to call. I did to give you one day at 78 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.759 least. You know, I appreciate you letting a little buffer zone in there 79 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.399 for a day. I do appreciate that, Brian. That tells me you're 80 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.920 a good friend. Well, the good thing is he stopped worrying Dodger stuff. 81 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.360 Yeah yeah, oh my Dodg you gear got put away yesterday. All 82 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.199 right, man, Thanks about have a great weekend at least he was he 83 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.720 was, He can be more and more like Steve, like what he didn't 84 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:43.000 make well. I think Brian is a Cardinals fan. But his son Adam, 85 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.680 he's got a son Adam as well, is a Braves fan. So 86 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.360 I haven't heard from Adam since Thursday, since night before last. All these 87 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.199 good teams just went to went south. Yeah yeah, yeah, anyways, 88 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.279 all right, okay, what else did I have just finished? I'm just 89 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.920 following this up because we brought up a couple of times. Lexi Thompson almost 90 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.600 made the cut, missed it by us. She was, she had a 91 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.959 great ditch. She shot at sixty nine today to under part sixty nine, 92 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.399 so she she missed it by once. She would have been the first one 93 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.160 since like like forty or fifty years to make a first female to make a 94 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:20.000 cut in a man tournament. That's fantastic anyway. And again, if somebody, 95 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:25.000 it's gonna take somebody like her because she's a big hitter, I mean 96 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.959 a really big hitter on tour and to be able to keep up with the 97 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.879 long, the long courses that the men play, it's gonna take somebody like 98 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:35.560 her, you know, as opposed to you know, some sort of a 99 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.040 finesse player on the on the LPGA tour. But she just missed it by 100 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.920 a stroke. That's too bad. All right, Uh, this isn't really 101 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.959 breaking news. The athletic just put this out today as a stat there's a 102 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:53.000 story about it. If I told you, well, we all know Bill 103 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:58.240 Belichick's record, Yeah, without Tom Brady is not obviously the year as good 104 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:02.600 as Tom Brady told you. He is one hundred. I'm trying to do 105 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:10.199 this math here. He's like one hundred and fifty five games over five hundred 106 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.519 with Brady. Okay, what would you what would you think his record without 107 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:21.560 Tom Brady is from a percentage standpoint without overall throughout his entire career. Yeah, 108 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:29.759 probably, Yeah, that's close. He's eighty and ninety two eighty and 109 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.920 yeah, because he had a long career before all this happened. Yeah, 110 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.160 he had a career and it wasn't very good. It wasn't very good. 111 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.879 Right, That's why in fact her that in he lucked into Tom Brady. 112 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.560 And now that people think he's the greatest coach that ever lived. No, 113 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.600 I think I think there's a reason for that. Yeah, and he's just 114 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.639 his teams are just bad that this team is really bad right now. Yeah, 115 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:51.519 I don't know what they what they saw on in uh in mac Jones 116 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:57.040 when they went he got it. But he's just not the guy. It's 117 00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.279 so it's so strange how there's a lot of not the guy called the Giants 118 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:05.120 don't have one. Yeah, I mean, he's terrible day. He's making 119 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.079 forty million dollars this year. There's a lot of those guys who are just 120 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.639 on the team and they're not any good. You know, what's his name, 121 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.240 y Oklahoma kid, Yoklahoma dude. Oh yeah, yeah, Tampa Bay. 122 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.439 Yeah, the one nobody likes. Mayfield, Yeah, Baker Mayfield. 123 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.480 You know, just a guy. Got some rookies out there, you know, 124 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.160 even even Trevor Lawrence. He's been decent, but he's not been great. 125 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.000 He's not been number one draft pick. Great. Yeah, right, 126 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.440 a generational, generational guy. All right. Going back to baseball, Uh, 127 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.480 the playoffs resume starting Sunday. You've got Texas and Houston and the Alcs 128 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.519 gotta hate Houston and it's an all Texas event obviously. Yeah, I'm gonna 129 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.240 I'm gonna text, well, he knows this, Francisco knows you hate him. 130 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.240 Just let him him the only the only you know, one of the 131 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.639 top two seeds in the in the in the league that made the made the 132 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:07.600 al c s. And then on on Monday, the the other series starts. 133 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.679 You left Texas and Houston earlier in the day, and then at five 134 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.639 o'clock our time, the Diamondbacks are at the Phillies. I'll tell you what 135 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:18.480 it is loud if you signed you any of the I watched a bunch of 136 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.279 it. I watched almost all of it last night. It is loud Philly. 137 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.200 Yeah. Yeah, it's a crazy place. Yeah yeah, yeah, 138 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.200 yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what what's this what's his name? Harper 139 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.440 saying this is just a fantastic environment. Yeah, it's it's a great environment. 140 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.200 So anyways, so I really I don't have any other breaking news, 141 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.480 you know, Okay, I said, seen a couple of things. You 142 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:45.799 talked about. The golfer obviously, Lexi Thompson, Well, sure you're gonna 143 00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.679 play or not. He's ready. He's ready, he said, he's ready 144 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.679 to go. I thought he was out for the playoffs. Uh. In 145 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:56.320 fact, Chris Chris here with ninety two point nine was gonna bet me he 146 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.200 was gonna pitch, and I'm thinking, there's no way I thought he was 147 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.360 out for this whole playoff. Who knows. I guess they need him. 148 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.840 They need him. But if he goes against Verlander in Game one or whatever 149 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.759 it is, it's gonna be tough because Verdlander's already beating him once. Okay, 150 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.039 did you see that? Did you see the end of that? Uh? 151 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.519 Houston w Virginia. I'm trying to look for you. You haven't seen 152 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.200 the club. I haven't seen the clip. No, well, they score 153 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.279 touchdown West VIDI scords go ahead touchdown. Yeah late, you know, with 154 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.720 you know, twenty seconds left or something like that. Yeah, they they 155 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.600 get a celebration penalty, so they have to kick off fifteen yards short from 156 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.080 what they do that gives that gives Houston a chance to they throw like a 157 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.879 ten yard pass to get within striking distance of the end. So and then 158 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.759 they throw a hail Mary and get it and win the game. Yeah, 159 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.120 not only win the game, flip the spread, uh, you know, 160 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.159 flipped all over. I immediately got a text message from from my brother who 161 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.360 was trying to finish like a five leg parlay with that one. And no, 162 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.679 there's been a lot of really big, very unhappy. He was very 163 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:03.639 very unhappy. Takes them personal. Okay, you know it. So it's 164 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.440 a lot of those this year. There's somebody against him. No, that's 165 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.039 my other brother Gen never mind, that's not Rick. But but I I 166 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.440 can't again, like you said, a horrible, horrible beat last night in 167 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.440 that in that game. Interesting games tonight, you got you got. As 168 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.039 we said, Colorado is giving eleven to Stanford, but they're at home. 169 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.799 So that's uh, you know, that's something that should be interesting. You 170 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.519 know, in our group, there's a lot of people, most people taking 171 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.840 Colorado. I saw Colorado was the most bet on the spread and the money 172 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.720 line on one of the betting websites. Colorado did sound like a seven to 173 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.480 eight point game in it it's eleven point spread, eleven points. I don't 174 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:48.720 trust. I don't trust them like they trust them before. Yeah, well 175 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.159 maybe they get an energy with Hunter Buck. Yeah, so I don't know, 176 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.879 you know, yeah, I mean it's a it's god be interesting to 177 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.559 see what happens there and if they keep the module, you know, the 178 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.639 spotlight's kind of come off of them a little bit. Are they fired up 179 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.919 for going to Stanford? Some of these guys. You know, you go 180 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.279 to stan with Stanford coming to town. Stanford's kind of, I don't know, 181 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.879 kind of an unexciting team, right, they don't do it very much, 182 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.639 so anything spectacular very much. So they nearly beat Arizona, so they 183 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.039 you know, they they're good enough. So we'll see what happens with that 184 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.840 eleven point seems like a lot, I don't know. Yeah, okay, 185 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.879 that's there's one more thought. Oh did you see that? Who's that? 186 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:33.559 Uh? Kittle had that T shirt about Dallas. You gotta find the Dallas 187 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.720 that just to be a pro. So they find him. They find him 188 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.120 for doing that. They think he came out on TV. At least they 189 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.720 got a lot of video. But how much you think they find him? 190 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.360 Five thirteen thousand dollars? It's like ten bucks to you. And that's that's 191 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.240 in the change bucket. Yeah right, right right, and it's for just 192 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.600 kinda hate. Could you match that? Could you reach back there? I 193 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.440 got a egoing change and change we'll drop it in the can as we go 194 00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:01.080 by the NFL.

Hey, welcome back to Iron the Ball here for 308 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.960 Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve Rivera, you're Jenkins Alas down on the 309 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.720 phone. We have Greg Woods from the Spokane Review Journal out in Spokane. 310 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.680 How are you doing? Rig Hey and dude good? How are you guys 311 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.200 doing great? Great? Great to hear from you talk about this weekend's big 312 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.160 game. We talked about it down here. It's kind of lost a little 313 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:29.880 luster, at least in our minds. We could be wrong, given that 314 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:33.200 they just came coming off the USC win. They'll have a bye next week, 315 00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.400 you will see one. I'm yeah, you know what I'm talking about. 316 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.799 And now what's the vibe up there? Well, I mean they are 317 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:47.200 coming off their first loss. I guess you see it lay last weekend, 318 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.720 so a little bit you know, of a different vibe. Just trying to 319 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.160 get the pass rust going because that was you know, a big reason why 320 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.119 they lost last week, and trying to get their run game going, which 321 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.039 is never really found the rhythm yet. So yeah, you know, serious 322 00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.799 aren't there, you know, quite as high as they were, you know 323 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.119 what, the first four, but they still still pretty confident that age. 324 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.039 Where where do you put Washington State in the pack? You know, we 325 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:12.400 sort of uh, you know, the sort of this thing. You know, 326 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:18.680 it's Washington, Washington, USC, Oregon, initially Utah, but they've 327 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.759 you know, they've lost the game. U c l A not really up 328 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.160 in that echelon. Where do you put Washington State, you know, in 329 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:29.279 the league is among the rest of those teams. Yeah, I think I 330 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:32.920 think you said the best kind of after those first three kind of in that 331 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.480 fourth a lot. I think I think that's uh pretty safe to say. 332 00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.799 I mean those three are you know, doing those things and and I I 333 00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:45.039 mean for me, it's hard to see uh the twobes eclipsing them or kind 334 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.400 of finding ways to beat them. So I think they're pretty comfortably in that 335 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.000 four spot, which is no, you know, is nothing to see that 336 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.119 because those those first three teams are you doing their thing and they all gossips. 337 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.319 So yeah, I kind of that fourth pot, fourth pot you spite 338 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.119 UCLA loss and Utah is still out there or do you think there's a group 339 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.240 of them in that spot. Well, I mean, like for me, 340 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.400 like the u c l A loss for for WS is a little bit of 341 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:14.640 an outlier because u c l A has this like crazy crazy pass for us 342 00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.640 and that really got to wash your face off with the vine. And I 343 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.680 don't think any of these other teams that you mentioned at the top have a 344 00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:26.160 pass for us like that that could really disru up you know, Cameraward game. 345 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.519 So I think as long as you know they can keep you know camera 346 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.359 Ward upright, and there's not another team like U C. L A that 347 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:34.759 can do that. I think I think they're pretty safe in that spot for 348 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.960 sure. Well that's saying a lot. So yeah, you mentioned the Running 349 00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:41.119 game. You did it. That was part of your story that you did 350 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.480 this week that they've had some issues with the Running game. What what are 351 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.240 the issues do you think? Well, I think part of the issue is 352 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:56.200 just baked into their identity. Like I'm trying to feel a comparison, like 353 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.240 these guys are just so like they have the offensive linements to facilitate their offense, 354 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.440 which has always been an air raid offense, and so there the offensive 355 00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:08.079 line, and they have are their pass block and they do a pretty good 356 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.839 job of that. So part of it is just like you know, the 357 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.160 first numb themselves are not built to be awesome run blockers, which is usually 358 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.400 fine because they have an awesome pass uh you know, passing attack. But 359 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.480 I think part of it is just kind of part of who these guys are, 360 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.799 which again it's not always a bad thing, but that's an issue. 361 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:27.359 I think, like you know, the running backs themselves, the Key Watson 362 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:33.200 Stale Jenkins of I don't know, I just think like Watson hasn't been able 363 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:36.279 to kind of you know, get a step on guys looks at tased low 364 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:38.640 maybe, and then Jake is kind of more of a scatbacks. He hasn't 365 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:42.079 had as many opportunities, but he also isis I don't think he had any 366 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.400 carrious against UCLA, so a lot less opportunities for him. And then yeah, 367 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:49.960 Watson has not top of it. So it's it's kind of, you 368 00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:56.079 know, if you different factors for sure, So you're telling them about Ward. 369 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.799 He was thought up to be one of the top quarterbacks in this group 370 00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.680 there's about five six of them, including Jayden Dolaura. He had been living 371 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.400 up to that expectation outside of last week when he was getting rushed a lot. 372 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:14.480 What is his outlook moving forward? Yeah, I think it all kind 373 00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.119 of depends on whether or not he can stay up right. Because the first 374 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.640 I mean four games of the season, he was he is he and he 375 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.839 looked off. I mean against August State, I think he had, like 376 00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:26.799 you know, before the yards of the year completely like I think his first 377 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.119 nineteen passes of the game, and so for them it's always just about kind 378 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:34.559 of keeping him clean and it's also for him, it's also about kind of 379 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.799 not trying to do too much. It's like you said, he is, 380 00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.039 you know, he's been awesome. He also has this kind of like two 381 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.440 DDI, you know, ability to escape pressure and you know and kind of 382 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:47.599 stay on his speed. But that's also kind of come back to buy him 383 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:51.480 where he's holding onto the ball too long and you know, not making great 384 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.599 decisions like last week. And so I think like for him, as long 385 00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:56.799 as he you know, one has time to throw, he's you know, 386 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.079 I think he's been great. And then as long as he's not overthinking it 387 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.599 and kind of just getting his bought of his guys, he can just be 388 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.039 awesome. You up for the long run for sure? Sound like somebody we 389 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:12.480 know, Jans talking about Jayden you are dog. I thought you were talking 390 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.519 about Jade de Laura there for a second. Let me ask you that because 391 00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:19.480 you know that's one of the storylines down here, you know, Jade and 392 00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.359 De Laura going back to Washington State. Is he going to play? Is 393 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.279 he not going to play? All that kind of stuff? Is there any 394 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.000 attention to that over there? They're good? Does anybody up there care that 395 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.279 Jade Delawa is coming back to Washington State. I mean he was really only 396 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:38.039 there, he only played for a year. Yeah, I think some people 397 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.000 might care. I think the players, the coach here kind of moved on 398 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.440 because they already played him one last year and Tuson and they they picked them 399 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.640 off four times in that one and uh, you know, you know, 400 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.759 won that game. So I think like the coach, the players, it's 401 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:52.920 more of a hey, you know, he kind of moved on, and 402 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.319 whole matchup is just kind of like, uh, it's kind of like last 403 00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.200 year, you know, like they played with consent that has a big come 404 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:02.680 going for Dicker, and then they played this year. It's like, Okay, 405 00:27:02.680 --> 00:27:04.240 it's cool, but it's not really the same played to one. So 406 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.599 I think it's like kind of the same deals here with Jane Dolaura, where 407 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:11.119 it's one, I mean they don't nobody's gonna play and and two they already 408 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.160 played it one, so it doesn't really have the same kind of kind of 409 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:17.960 lost into that match up for sure. And he may not even play, 410 00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.720 yeah, and he might not even play. So what's what's the impression of 411 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:25.559 Arizona up there? You know, they they I mean, they had they 412 00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:29.599 had USC on the ropes last week. They played a really good game against 413 00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.200 Washington the week before, but they were both losses. You know, what's 414 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:34.920 you know, is there still a feeling that these guys aren't that good? 415 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:40.640 There's still what's the feeling about them? What? What are fans expecting to 416 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:45.759 see? I think for w SU, it's definitely I don't know if a 417 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.519 cyber release is the right phrase, but coming off with U C l A, 418 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:51.200 it's definitely a little bit of an easier match. But I think is 419 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:52.559 the way they see it because you know, like you talked about, you 420 00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:56.279 know, with UCLA pass us and their defense, which I mean I turned 421 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.319 into one of the best in the country that you know, they the hard 422 00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.039 time with that. So I think getting an I don't know easy is the 423 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.039 right word, but a worse defense, and you know, and in Arizona 424 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:10.799 is gonna kind of give them a little bit of respite and that in that 425 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.359 way, and I think they look at it as a kind of a chance 426 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:15.359 to you know, get the running game going, which you know, like 427 00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.720 I said, is not trying to rhythm yet. And I think I think 428 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.640 they look at it as a chance to kind of get a warded back on 429 00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.880 track. After throwing these two picks last here. So I mean they're definitely 430 00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.599 overlooking them. But when you back them up because a defense like U. 431 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:30.799 C. L A. I think they look at it as I mean, 432 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.039 anyway, tell you this. You know they you know, they're taking it 433 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:37.480 all seriously for sure, but I think like at least on the outside, 434 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.960 it's more of a hey, you know this this is a like said, 435 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.519 not an easier game maybe, but you know, a chance going to get 436 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.079 offense back on drag? Right? Is any of the stuff that's happened with 437 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:51.559 you know, realignment and stuff like that. Does that having any kind of 438 00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:55.039 an impact on how these guys are going out, you know on the field, 439 00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:59.200 chip on their shoulder, anything like that maybe or was that maybe early 440 00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.079 in the season much anymore? I mean, how's how is that? Has 441 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:08.200 that had any impact on how they're doing on the field. I don't know, 442 00:29:08.319 --> 00:29:12.200 like on like a play by play basis that has any impact because I 443 00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:17.160 think they would play as hard whether or not they were, you know, 444 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:21.359 included in this re alignment or not. Right, But I think that like 445 00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:23.240 against Cycle, when they play you done the Seattle, that'll be a big 446 00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:27.000 one in that way, And obviously when you play the Apple Cups rivalry, 447 00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:32.279 but because they had such a huge hand and you know, Damon Orgon getting 448 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.400 out to the Big Ten, I think those two games, I think they 449 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.359 might have a lot bit more juice forts because at the last second, those 450 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:41.240 two guys, you know, pulled out a deal and headed to the Big 451 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.319 ten. So I think, I like with Arizona, there's not really that 452 00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.400 as much going on, but I think later season it might come up a 453 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.480 little bit more. For sure. What's the weather look like that? It's 454 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.640 beautiful? I mean right now my mouthside talking to you guys and not like 455 00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.799 a coffee shop, and it's like mid sixties right now, I think, 456 00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.240 And yeah, it's good, it's great. So that kind of fits in 457 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:04.960 and that helps Arizona. Yeah, because these guys down here talking about the 458 00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.599 weather, they always go in November and it's freezing. Well, now here's 459 00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:15.279 not another excuse. So here you go. I guess I have to see. 460 00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:21.119 Yeah, so I saw from your from your your feed that you took 461 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.720 over this beat in the summer. How much of the realignment stuff did you 462 00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:27.920 have to do? Was a total chaos for you? How did you? 463 00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.319 How did you how did you make your way through that and how much of 464 00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:36.440 that did you you know, were you in the middle of Yeah, well, 465 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:41.200 definitely a crazy time to start covering a team like that. I definitely 466 00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:47.000 did not to be crazy at least it this way I first took the job. 467 00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:48.039 But yeah, like right away that was a lot of what I was 468 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.440 riding A boy was hey, you know Colorado as the left and you know, 469 00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:53.880 later on like you know, Oregon and washing last, and so it 470 00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:56.880 was like, hey, like where do these guys fit and all of this 471 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.359 and how they feel about it. I remember like the morning of when the 472 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.839 news are watching an organ relieving with acting now, that was right in the 473 00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:08.400 middle of their practice, and so like right as our news came now you 474 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.400 know, they were doing their things, practicing, and of course, I 475 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.880 mean they had no idea, you know, they couldn't have done anything different, 476 00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.319 but it was just kind of surreal to like watch them the practice while 477 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.839 the conference is like, you know, you know apart. So, yeah, 478 00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.839 it's been a lot of writing about that, but I can't complain any 479 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:30.240 know, we get paid to write and you know, talk about sports, 480 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.960 so it's a good well you do have I think it's not correct in saying 481 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.400 this, the president speak is pretty open with so you've been at least getting 482 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.319 some good quotes from good people. See what's sorry. The president of the 483 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.960 university has been outspoken about what's going on, very outspoken and and helps your 484 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.559 job, helps with your job. Yeah, I mean him, Him and 485 00:31:49.599 --> 00:31:56.160 the ad Pat Shung have not their feelings at all. They have been very 486 00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.680 forward and like, hey, you know this is not right. You know, 487 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:02.440 we in Oregon, they are sticking together and uh, you know, 488 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.920 we're gonna, you know, find a way through this. And so yeah, 489 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.519 I mean, I like a few weeks ago, I got ten on 490 00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.319 the phone and the uh you know, and and any of his you know, 491 00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:16.440 in public comments. He has not been side can to speak his mind. 492 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:20.079 So now it's like, hey, you know, we're getting good stuff. 493 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.519 So they're just doing they're thing, trying to figure out what next, 494 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.759 and who knows. We talked about this so briefly yesterday that maybe at the 495 00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:29.440 end of the day, whichever day that is, Oregon and Oregon State and 496 00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:35.519 Washington State could end up where everybody ended up in the Big twelve. They're 497 00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:38.839 they're trying hard to make there to manifest that reality. For sure, there's 498 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:44.559 you know, a million rumors on social media that that's gonna happen. But 499 00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:45.720 I think we got away from this host who can kind of play out to 500 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.559 see how that well go for sure? Okay, all right, Greg, 501 00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.559 well appreciate it. Okay, you got to call the game for us. 502 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:58.640 What do you think? Uh? I think it was. I think as 503 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.359 long as their offense can uh you know, you know, do their thing. 504 00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:06.079 It's county hard. I saw them down. Do I do I give 505 00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:07.519 you a score? Do I have to say? Yeah? Score? How 506 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:13.720 many I think it'll be? I don't know. Let's just throw out a 507 00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:15.559 number. Let's say let's say it was you like, I don't know, 508 00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:20.400 twenty seven seventeen. How about that? Okay, No, that's cool. 509 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:22.839 All right, thank you very much. Thanks again, appreciate it's fun talking 510 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:27.039 to you and hopefully we'll do it again. Yeah, Son, Trey, 511 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.279 thank you, guys, thank you so much. So we have we have 512 00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.359 a minute or two. Jay, so so you that was not a surprise, 513 00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:36.880 him saying that Justin's evaluation was not a surprise because he covers it. 514 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:38.920 Try you know what you know, you don't know what you don't know, 515 00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:43.559 and they don't know much about the other team. I bring up Fau every 516 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:45.720 year, no, every moment now because you didn't know, we didn't know, 517 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:51.000 we didn't see him. Uh So not a shock that each guy who 518 00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:54.400 covers the team picked their own team. Here's the thing, though, it 519 00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:59.559 tells me that what he said tells me that they really do because of its 520 00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:04.440 reputation, Because Arizona's reputation, they have no idea of the defense exactly. 521 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:07.519 And that's the thing that's struck. And I think because I think even though 522 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:12.880 they saw USC and Caleb Williams last week, this this offense at Washington State 523 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:15.840 has is pretty dark good. I just don't think that Arizona knows how pretty 524 00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:20.679 good it is. But you stuffed him. They did, stuffed them with 525 00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:25.320 the rush. Can it happen again with you UA's defense. That's that's the 526 00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:30.840 key in it to me, That's that's the thing. Can Arizona's defense continue 527 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.760 to play well enough to keep a Washington's defense offense off the field. So 528 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.119 all right, we're going to be right back. We got the fab five 529 00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:42.880 Friday pick coming up, so we hope you'll stick around and see the ridiculousness 530 00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:54.280 of all of that.
