This is I on the Ball with Steve

2
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.320
Ravera and Jay Gonzalez on Fox Sports
fourteen to fifteen. Hey, welcome back

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.440
to Whying the ball here on Fox
Sports fourteen fifteen. Come Steve, He's

4
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.320
Jay, and now we have Sammy. We break the news on the ball,

5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:25.440
breaking news, all right, So
if we haven't seen it, Noah

6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:29.320
Afida for the fifth time this season, Freshman of the Week in the Pac

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.960
twelve. Really no surprise there.
He'll probably going to win Freshman of the

8
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.240
Year. Everyone would assume. I
feel like at this point, right if

9
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.640
he doesn't, there's something wrong.
Somebody stuff in the ballot box with somebody

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.679
else. No, I agree.
And t Mac was Offensive Player of the

11
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.359
Week in the Pac twelve. Really
no surprise in either of those two.

12
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:51.640
In the performance they put on against
ASU, especially in the first half,

13
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:56.039
I think it was a real kind
of They set the tone for what the

14
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.119
plan was in the game, and
they executed it well. I mean,

15
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.680
the numbers, you know, are
certainly worthy. But I'm a little I

16
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:11.120
am a little surprised in that there
were two games with college football playoff implications

17
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.400
over the weekend you had Washington,
Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State.

18
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.200
You know, both Oregon and Washington
won. I'm a little surprised. I

19
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.000
mean, it tells you how good
the performance was by Arizona's guys that somebody

20
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.959
from those games didn't get those arts. I mean, it could have been

21
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.439
bon Nicks. I mean, it
looks as though hammerd Jayden Daniels will probably

22
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.760
win the Heisman, and again he
put up Heisman like numbers. But I

23
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.640
don't know. I don't know if
you guys watched that Washington Washington State game

24
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.640
either, but it was brutal and
some of those play calls in the last

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.840
two minutes of the game. I
don't know if you guys were actually like

26
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.680
seeing that. It was very you
guys remember earlier in the season when Miami

27
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.000
fumbled and lost to Georgia Tech.
It had a lot of that written on

28
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.760
it. It was literally first and
first and ten in field goal range,

29
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.159
clocks moving and they're throwing in complete
passes. Washington was I don't I don't

30
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.319
know if that was a stunt to
maybe get Panics in the end zone or

31
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.080
something like that. I don't know
what it was, but I was watching

32
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.280
the television like this, this can't
be this can't be right, but that

33
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.840
it was an ugly game. Sadly
Oregon won. So you's not in the

34
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.919
Pac Tweld Championship, but it is
championship weekend and we got some good games.

35
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.960
I don't know if you guys,
well, I haven't been I haven't

36
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.520
been right on a lot, but
I was right on Oregon. I thought

37
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.319
all along that they were going to
beat the crap out of Oregon State,

38
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.400
and they did. Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, you and everybody else.

39
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.439
I think though that there was a
lot of state where and you corrals

40
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.280
all over the place. I think
if you watch the game day they were

41
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.520
they were picking Oregon State. They've
been wrong all year a month or so,

42
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.479
yeah, have been. It was
a simple thing, a choice of

43
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:54.800
quarterbacks, and let's take this call. So so the one thing is I

44
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.719
still have a chance of making a
bet with you even if Oregon wins this

45
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.520
week, because you had Washington,
I have us C. But the winner

46
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.759
the bet was right. The bet
was that you have to win the pact

47
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.000
to win the bet, right and
all along, and I think you agree

48
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.360
with me. In maybe two three
weeks ago, I thought Oregon, I

49
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.319
still think Oregon is the best team
in there when when they got beat by

50
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:21.719
Washington. And I think Sammy will
understand this given the horse guy that when

51
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.080
Washington beat them on our last the
field goal blah blah blah, and at

52
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:30.800
home, this horse Oregon had a
bad route. Bad route at that game

53
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.560
was an Oregon. It's a route, Yeah, exactly, you know what

54
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.680
I'm saying. Yeah, I think
that's it's funny you bring the horses into

55
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.120
I think Oregon might be one of
the best teams in the country. Yeah,

56
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:44.840
and it did. It took a
bad line to finish line Oregon.

57
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:49.400
This game is going to be in
Vegas, neutral field. Granted, both

58
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.159
those teams they're fans, it's a
long way to go. We'll see how

59
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.759
well they travel and whatnot. But
I think Oregon Bo Nicks and Dan Lanning

60
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.439
and that team is is one of
the best teams in the country. Don't

61
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.120
you come off this way with Dad
Landing. I'm sorry if I have some

62
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:06.039
of the scratching. He's a he's
a guy who wants to put it on

63
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:13.919
you do he does. But you
know, I think just because of I

64
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.279
think Washington is going to feel disrespected, sure, which may put a little

65
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.680
juice into their pants a little bit. Maybe I should have said it like

66
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.120
that, but you know what you
did. But yeah, but I did.

67
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.480
You know what I mean? But
you know that Washington may go into

68
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.000
this game say wait a minute,
what're the ones that are understraated. We're

69
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.800
the ones that already beat those guys
and were nine point under. God show,

70
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.920
but you're taking those points. I
think I am nine. Really,

71
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.240
I think I would give I think
it'll get up to nine and a half.

72
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.040
Ten, and once you're in that
double digit range and a conference championship,

73
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:46.839
I'll give you. Look, I've
been on Washington all year long.

74
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.240
Yeah, well you get off of
I mean the beginning of the year,

75
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.120
I thought they were better than us. I'll give you. You'll give me

76
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.519
the nine. Yeah, for twenty
twenty. I'll give you the twenty and

77
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.000
you keep it. If I lose, you just give it back. I'll

78
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:01.720
you know what I'm saying. I
don't want to have the fun't have to

79
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:06.680
track me down for the twenty.
He wants Oregon, Okay, I'll take

80
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.560
the night. Okay for twenty Okay, I think that line is gonna move

81
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.480
some more. Yeah, that's why
I'm gonna get it at night. I

82
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.519
wanted at night. That's fine,
Well, the night, yeah, because

83
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.480
because I think you can get in
your team at night. And I actually

84
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.959
think, I actually think Washington can
win this game. I mean they're undefeated

85
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.879
and Michael Pennis is still Michael Pennix. You know, I get it all

86
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.560
the you know, Michael Penis in
the in the odds has dropped to number

87
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:39.720
three in the in the U ra
J Mix to Daniels Daniels, I'm like,

88
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:44.879
who, how I had this argument
with my kid? All right?

89
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.879
He said, well, Jane Daniels
has the best stats. They said who

90
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.319
had the best season? Right,
so he's he's had four or five great

91
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.879
games. Who he's pound up a
bunch of stats. Michael Penix's team is

92
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:00.240
undefeated. Bo Nix's team has got
one loss to the undefeated team. Why

93
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.160
do you put Jake Daniels ahead of
either of those guys? I'm hoping that

94
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.639
the people who vote for this are
smart enough to realize that it pisses me

95
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.480
off. Steve. Why is Jade
Daniels passed up Michael Pennix when his team

96
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.519
is still undefeated? It's it's but
it's not a team award. It is

97
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.399
a team award. It's it's it's
the Heisman, it's It's not just about

98
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:26.279
the numbers, though, no,
I understand that right about. It's about

99
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.639
what you got your team to do
and the thing better. His numbers are

100
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.600
phenomenal. If if they were better, his team would be better. They

101
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.720
have the worst, one of the
worst defenses in the country. He's not

102
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.560
a defensive player, I think,
I think, but he hasn't been good

103
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:48.959
enough to overcome other shortcums. No, I mean, realistically, I would

104
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:54.240
vote for bon Nicks. I think
b Nick because his numbers are better than

105
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.399
Pennix, and not by as much
as you think. Look, but they're

106
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.600
they're I think especial. Actually,
if they win this weekend, If Oregon

107
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.240
wins this weekend, they're gonna be
in the College Football Playoff. They're gonna

108
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.959
be one of the four best teams
in the country. Okay, if Washington

109
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.240
wins this weekend, I don't think. I still think Jane Daniels because Jane

110
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.519
Daniels' team. If you swap I'll
do this. If you swap Jane Daniels

111
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.639
and the kid from BAMA Milroe.
BAM was one of the best teams in

112
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.639
the country and it's not even close. They're undefeated and they're probably gonna be

113
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:27.040
favorites at Georgia. But the game, but the thing isst three games.

114
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.439
I'm confused. So you right now
you would vote for whom to I would.

115
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.800
I would vote for Bonnicks. Okay, so Jane Daniels is the second.

116
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.800
I think Jane Daniels. I honestly, I think it's a coin flip

117
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.040
between the two. I could see
both arguments. Here's the problem that a

118
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.879
lot of the votes are gonna come
from that side of the country. And

119
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.279
see, I wouldn't I wouldn't.
I wouldn't complain if Jane Daniels won the

120
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.639
Heisman. He has the best overall
stats by a long shot. And if

121
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.879
you're comparing those three quarterbacks, he
leads. He leads them in passing yards,

122
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.800
overall touchdowns, rushing yards, and
rushing touchdowns. And they LISU is

123
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.639
still not a terrible team. They're
in the top. Who would you want

124
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.439
to take Oregon over l s U? Oregon for sure, Okay, it's

125
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.879
because the Organs a better team.
Washington, I think it's closer. I

126
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.600
think I think both uls. You
wouldn't be able to stop Washington at all.

127
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.279
I think Washington would win, but
it would be really, really close,

128
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.000
and I don't think it would be
at any fault of Jayden and Daniels.

129
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.959
And I'm and I'm sitting here saying
I'm not the biggest Jayden Daniels fan.

130
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.759
I didn't think he was great at
a s U and when he went

131
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.360
to l s U, I was
like, what is what is this Jayden

132
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.399
and Daniels hype? But I can't
personally and just the way I view the

133
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.159
game, I can't not look at
the numbers he's put up this year.

134
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.600
Let's take this call. Hi,
you're on the air and eye on the

135
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.919
ball. Hello, he might have
hung up, might have hung up.

136
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.519
Set the kid here straight, please, Yeah, you're right because you would

137
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.039
vote for Nick's first. Sure you
would. I get your points with the

138
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.879
with the stats and all this stuff, but it's kind of like I look,

139
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.480
It's kind of how I look at
the NBA MVP. It's like Jokis

140
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:09.200
last year was had a better team
in the Nuggets. Hi, you're on

141
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.679
the R and I on the ball. Hey, guys, hey just saw

142
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:18.799
from two four to seven Sports that
Chip Kelly is staying at UCLA. Yeah,

143
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.879
we thought that that this afternoon when
we were at the press conference,

144
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.600
we thought that that was gonna happen. Yeah. Yeah, because for the

145
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.519
reasons that Jay said that there's no
money to no money, I mean,

146
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.159
okay, thank you. Yeah,
well yeah, I'm sorry, anybody wanted

147
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.279
to say something I think. I
sorry. I look at the Heisman very

148
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.200
much as I look at the NBA
MVP. More often than not, the

149
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:45.399
NBA MVP goes to the best player
with maybe the best year statistically, not

150
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.679
always on the best team, but
you look at it. Last year,

151
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.759
Jokicic and the Nuggets they won the
NBA Championship, was the best player on

152
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.159
that team, and they gave the
award tod All Embid. Granted there's been

153
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.679
some years maybe embiids for the one
when he didn't last year and beat statistically

154
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.279
him and Jokic were pretty fifty to
fifty. They gave it to mb and

155
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:11.399
I zero problem with that. But
it's it's kind of like when Lebron has

156
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.519
how I think it has five m
vps. In his prime, Lebron could

157
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.120
have won m VP every single year
because his teams were great and Lebron was

158
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.200
clearly the best player in the NBA. But that's just not how it works.

159
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.600
And with the Heisman, it's kind
of like it's kind of the same

160
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.559
in my opinion. Yeah, okay, you'll be making the argument, but

161
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.679
you're still voting for Dix. If
here's the thing. If if Knicks goes

162
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.679
out and if they don't beat they
don't beat Washington, and Jane Daniels has

163
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.120
those numbers still, then I think
I think that, Yeah, that's what

164
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.080
I don't get. How if if
there's still a lot of football to be

165
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.799
played, Michael Pennix beats bow Knicks
again and you think bo Nicks is the

166
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:54.000
best guy right now and he beats
him for a second time, how you

167
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.519
let Daniels slip in there. I
just don't get it. I just think

168
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.639
the second half of Michael Pennis this
season has not been statistic. We're watching

169
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.279
it, okay, so we got
recency biases what we've got, Okay too.

170
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.559
He was great in the first half. This is not not so good

171
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:16.000
in the second. Jayde has been
great, not Jay and Daniels. He

172
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:22.200
was awfulistically in the season. These
statistics in the last six games, I

173
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:28.120
still think, right, that's fine. Never going to agree on. I'm

174
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.159
I'm still believing you're gonna you would
you would vote for Nicks as I would.

175
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.600
I think you would vote for nixt
right, not necessarily, who would

176
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.480
you vote for I'm waiting for I'm
waiting to see what happened to Friday today

177
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:46.279
today. Yeah, I'm probably voting
for by Washington over over Pennis over and

178
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.480
then Daniels his third. Daniels is
like eighth from Okay, so see,

179
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.000
there you go. And and and
I want to make because I got accused.

180
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.720
I got to accused of this.
It's not because he was an a

181
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.519
guy, right. You know.
Look, I'm a Heisman voter. I

182
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.679
can't I can't tell you what my
vote is before I put it in.

183
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.639
But what I'm telling you is is
that and and different. It's just like

184
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.840
the Hall of Fame Baseball Hall of
Fame voters can vote for a bunch of

185
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:16.480
different things. To me, what
your team does matter, Okay, if

186
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.759
what your team does matters, I
agree, And then I'll just say that

187
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.840
that's fine. But it is conference
championship weekend this week. So yeah,

188
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.840
Washington, Oregon, Texas, and
Oklahoma State I believe it is. And

189
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:37.480
then you have Georgia Okay, Hi, you're on the R and I on

190
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.320
the ball. Hey, gentlemen,
would talk some college football with you to

191
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.080
here. I just noticed, is
this the first year to pack twelve North

192
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.799
and South is basically merged into one. No, they went for twelve.

193
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:50.759
They did that last year too.
Last year. Last year was the first

194
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.720
tiar have won the South. This
year we have one too many losses in

195
00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:00.440
the conference. No, Arizona would
have won the South this year. Pointed

196
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.600
that He's pointed, He's pointed out
last week, and he pointed out again

197
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.320
today that they that they essentially if
the divisions were the same, Arizona would

198
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.080
be in the Pack twelve championship.
Well a PAC twelve dodge the bullet because

199
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.519
one of one of now Lisa is
going to go to the I would imagine

200
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.000
the final four Oregon for sure,
like you said, maybe Washington. Well,

201
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.919
certainly the winner of the game on
Friday goes you know, Okay,

202
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.840
Yeah, I agree? All right, Thanks all I wanted to ask you

203
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.600
guys. I appreciate it. Gentleen, Okay, thanks for thanks for listening.

204
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.720
You'd hope the winner this weekend goes
Yeah, if it's Washington, Now

205
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.879
one of them is going yeah,
to one of them, and that one

206
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.720
things that they do well again getting
through the overall thing, it's more than

207
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.759
just what you did, the overall
strength of the PAC twelve. The PACTBULF

208
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.639
champion has to be in the in
the playoffs, regardless of whether it's Oregon

209
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.799
with one loss or Washington with no
losses. Well, okay, yeah,

210
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.720
if Washington wins there, If Oregon
loses and Florida State wins out, for

211
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.840
State's going to get in. They're
undefeated three teams. And then if Texas

212
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.559
wins. You look at the better
win. It'll be between Texas and Alabama

213
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.679
in Texas and because George is in, George's in. Yeah, George is

214
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.519
in. It'll be Georgia and Michigan
Florida State if they went out and then

215
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:16.240
either or Texas because Texas is going
to win their conference too. Okay,

216
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.720
say that again. So Georgia,
Georgia beats Alabama, George is in,

217
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.879
Georgie's in, Michigan beats Iowa,
Michigan's in. Florida State wins out there,

218
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.720
they're in, and then for that
fourth spot, Texas plays Oklahoma State

219
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.360
for their conference champions. The winner
of the Pack twelve two championship. I

220
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:37.360
don't think because because and we've been
arguing this about because Oregon's loss would be

221
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.960
wash isn't better than Texas? And
Texas lost, Texas lost to Kansas.

222
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.840
No, Texas lost to Oklahoma.
Okay, well what either? Well either

223
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.840
you're right it was Oklahoma lost again, but Texas lost, and and the

224
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:58.480
PAC twelve is a tougher conference,
way tougher. Winning the Pac twelve is

225
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.240
way more impressive than winning the Big
One. Would you guys have any issue

226
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.080
in them leaving out and undefeated Florida
State team that doesn't have any I would.

227
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.480
I would have an a. That's
a tough one too. I would

228
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.000
because if they're still undefeated, they
deserve to be in. I think it's

229
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:15.159
tough. We can talk about it
later. We got some more stuff.

230
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.200

we weren't going to get through it all.

well, but probably not as as you.

311
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.000
You must be excited. We had
a We definitely had a good day

312
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:15.720
back at school. The guys were
excited that we did a little parade.

313
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:21.119
So guys are really enjoyed celebrating and
take it in. Everything got happened on

314
00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:25.200
Saturday. Well, well, first
let's talk about Friday night. Friday night

315
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.359
and just you know, the game, a lot of points on the board,

316
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.920
but you guys seemingly were kind of
in control most of the game.

317
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:36.599
But just tell us how you know, how things felt at the start of

318
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.359
the game and then just how everything
developed and you know where your mind was

319
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:45.319
throughout the game. You know,
our guys came out and we challenged them

320
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:51.319
just to play their brand of football, be physical and you want to take

321
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:56.359
to go take a state championship.
And we played a very very difficult schedule.

322
00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:00.799
That state championship was the twelfth playoff
team that we played in a row.

323
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:06.359
So our guys were very battle tested. We played the three A South,

324
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:11.200
where every single team made the playoffs, so our guys were used to

325
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.039
some very good competition. I think
we've seen every type of offense, every

326
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.759
type of defense, and by the
time the playoffs rolled around, our guys

327
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.519
were just rolling. I mean,
we had the last game of the season

328
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:29.200
where we faced off against number one
Mohave, who was undefeated, and our

329
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.400
guys came together and pulled that one
out. And we just took that momentum

330
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:36.680
into the playoffs and decided we want
to go. I want to go get

331
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.440
one and leave everything else at the
table, and blessed to come out with

332
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:44.279
more points than they did. But
our guys were fired up, and after

333
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.759
kickoff that first drive that we had, we picked them off and there wasn't

334
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.119
really any doubt, which is how
our guys came out. When did you

335
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:56.119
guys realize Are you specifically realized you
had something special here? You know we

336
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:03.039
weren't talking about it preseason. Tell
you the truth that we had an opportunity

337
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:07.319
to go do something special. We
believed in our guys. We had a

338
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.440
three year starting quarterback and Cameron Hackworth
coming back. We had two thousand yard

339
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.160
receivers or right there next to it
in the Barry HiPE Brothers, Savanna and

340
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:19.839
Chamar. We had a defense that
was had a lot of experience with a

341
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.960
bunch of seniors hint coming back led
by our two middle backers to Shawn Ingram

342
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:30.480
and Jack's Gaggs experienced secondary that's seen
plenty of route combos going their way.

343
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.880
So we had the potential and we
talked about that potential from the time we

344
00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:42.880
got back in January. The previous
year we lost a bit of a heartbreaker

345
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:48.200
to the eventual state championship in East
Mark, who ended up going up to

346
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.640
four A and competing. I think
they made it to either the semis or

347
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:55.480
quarterfinals in four A this year.
But we knew when the way we competed

348
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:59.480
last year, we had an opportunity
and we believed in it so much.

349
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.359
I mean we talking. We had
t shirts made just with the number twenty

350
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.680
fifteen on it because that's the last
year that Tucson, any any high school

351
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:11.359
in Tuson I want to state championship, and we wanted them to understand they

352
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:15.720
had the possibility to go change that
narrative, and fourteen weeks into this season.

353
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.079
They did it by I win and
one in twenty twenty three, so

354
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.440
we do it was always a possibility, but we took some lumps, We

355
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.759
had a couple losses. Nothing was
perfect, and they worked their tails off

356
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.279
to go get one. So when
you did one of the hard what is

357
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:32.759
it always considered one of the hard
things? So you had to beat a

358
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.480
really good team two times and actually
in a short period of time, you

359
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.920
beat Mojave at the end of as
you mentioned, at the end of the

360
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.400
regular season, then you have to
beat him again in the semi finals.

361
00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.039
But what was your approach to that? And you know, how did you

362
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:49.359
do that? You know, we
h We actually had lost on a walk

363
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.920
off field goal the week before,
traveling all the way to Marenci in a

364
00:24:53.920 --> 00:25:00.279
three A South game that they got
the region championship with it, So we

365
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.160
were look at our wounds. We
had the opportunity at the end of the

366
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:07.319
season, facing the number one team. We could either bow out and start

367
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:11.440
feeling sorry for ourselves, or we
could come together and be a football team

368
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.559
that we always knew we could be
and go challenge the number one team and

369
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.640
see where we were going into the
playoffs. So our guys came out firing

370
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:25.440
that week ten against number one Mohabi, and really that win was huge for

371
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.599
us because it got us into the
top four seeds to go in to the

372
00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:32.319
playoffs, and we got a couple
home games out of it and didn't have

373
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.440
to face Mojave again until the semi
finals. And in the semi finals we

374
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.519
got the neutral site, didn't have
to go up to Mohave, which is,

375
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.400
you know, a nice about seven
hour drive before a playoff game,

376
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:47.880
which doesn't sound very good, but
it just set us up schedule wise to

377
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.359
have a shot. And the big
one was that playoff game where you have

378
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.880
to convince your guys that this is
going to be a playoff game winner,

379
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.559
go home. Nothing matters that you
beat them already. They're gonna come out

380
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.920
trying to earn their season and keep
theirs going just as much as we are.

381
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:10.119
So we have to keep the same
mentality and up the ante a little

382
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.480
bit just to make sure we continue
to go on to the state championship.

383
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:19.799
And our guys played their butt up. That was an extremely tough thought athletes

384
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.000
on both sides of the field.
There was some hitting all around. My

385
00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.519
hobby's got a stud middle back and
that's going to Army next year. And

386
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:30.359
our guys just rose to the challenge, and you know, it was a

387
00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:36.440
beautiful, beautiful win, lots of
excitement in our sides, but beating Mohabby

388
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.039
twice was a huge testament for what
our he was capable of because that was

389
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:41.920
a really, really good football team. I'm assuming that the season, the

390
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.599
regular season and the practices were pretty
good. You know, I'm sure there

391
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.960
were days when they were not good
and they were tough. But because you

392
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.119
have their attention, you had their
attention from the twenty fifteen beginning of the

393
00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:57.720
year, their motivation, they had
a goal. How was it Because I'm

394
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:02.559
sure there was a lot of hard
work, absolutely, and I mean we

395
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.279
saw the direct relationship to how well
we practice first, you know, how

396
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.960
well we perform on Fridays and Saturday
nights. Because we had three losses during

397
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:17.000
this season, and we talked about
it immediately postgame with those losses, some

398
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:21.680
of those places where we could get
better just practicing on the football field,

399
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:26.079
how we're getting the classes in the
hallways during the week, all the little

400
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.200
things that are gonna add up really
quick, and the things that go beyond

401
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.640
just playing on a Friday at seven
o'clock. So we saw those direct relationships

402
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.880
very very quickly. And after that
MORENCI game, going into number one More

403
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.920
Hobby that week ten of the regular
season, we had some near perfect practices

404
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:49.000
for five weeks straight and that led
us to a state championship. That build

405
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:53.480
up, that preparation, guys were
dialed in in the film room, getting

406
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.119
in their classwork, getting all that
stuff taken care of, making sure everybody's

407
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:03.720
ready, and it was just firing
on all cylinders. And I mean these

408
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.759
guys came out and you know,
ran away with some stuff and made some

409
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.599
great plays and the highlight wheels all
of the place, and that was all

410
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.519
the preparation that they had. So
hats off to our guys for dialing in

411
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.839
and deciding they as a twenty twenty
three football team wanted to go win a

412
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.119
state championship, and they did it. We're talking to Ryan mcbrie, head

413
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:27.079
coach of the Sabino High School three
A state football champions Ryan, you know,

414
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:30.519
the state the playoffs, it's long
grind. It's four games that you

415
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.920
got to win, you know,
one after the other. You know,

416
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.279
obviously every one of them against a
really good team. How how hard is

417
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.880
the grind of that? You know, you played a long season, now

418
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.279
you're going to the playoffs. He's
took out four weeks that you got to

419
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:47.240
do it. Everybody's got to do
it, So it's not nobody's an advantage

420
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:51.319
over anybody else, but you have
how hard is it to keep zeroed in

421
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.880
on what you got to do in
front of you in a to have a

422
00:28:53.880 --> 00:29:00.359
four game run like that. I
mean, we deal with the fifteen sixteen

423
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.839
seventeen year olds. We had two
varsity guys that started every game for us

424
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:08.160
as freshmen. We have fourteen year
olds that are contributing mightily, and Victor

425
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:12.680
al Kuntar and Romeo berryjo on the
back end as a corner. When we

426
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:17.319
got young guys that are figuring out
life, they got all the high school

427
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:21.400
distractions. So yeah, it's a
long grind to keep them focused in every

428
00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.720
little moment. But I mean our
regular season really got us Prepps. Like

429
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.359
I said, I don't know if
there was a tougher schedule seeing different teams

430
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:34.279
traveling on the road, but playing
twelve playoff teams in a row really got

431
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.759
us to where we need to be. And that road started really with.

432
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:41.079
I mean, we went up to
Mike Mountain, who is playing in the

433
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:44.759
final four and four A, and
that taught us a lot of humbling lessons

434
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:47.599
that we need to get better.
And we saw and weren't, you know,

435
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.960
the perfect team that everybody might have
been talking about three seasons. So

436
00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.519
our guys realized what it took to
win. And all the credit to those

437
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:03.079
guys. They dialed in and did
what took to make themselves better. And

438
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:08.039
they we had twenty four seniors that
they wanted to meet on each other and

439
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:14.400
go get after one. So it
is a it is a grind and Markovie

440
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.400
set ourselves up well by having a
good regular season to play those two home

441
00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.039
games because that was definitely a huge
advantage going into it. And then you

442
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:25.359
get to the semi finals and the
finals playing on neutral sites where everybody's got

443
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:30.240
to travel. But I mean it's
a it's a long road. Waking up

444
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:34.240
Sunday morning, I mean, it
was an exhaustion. But all the credit

445
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:40.559
to our kids, and I mean
half off to my coaching staff because they

446
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:45.200
are some amazing human beings that are
giving up a lot of their time just

447
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.400
to be with these guys from the
beginning in January, where we're doing lifting

448
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:52.720
and getting out in the field and
nobody's watching to go into summertime in one

449
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:59.039
hundred and ten degree heat in these
seven on seven competitions, the big linem

450
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:03.440
and competitions, and we're going fourteen
weeks in the regular season. So I

451
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:06.720
got to give a big shout out
to my coaching staff who's I wouldn't trade

452
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:10.240
them for the world. We got
my offensive coordinator, sly Lewis is a

453
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:14.079
year twenty, our defensive coordinator,
first guy coming over who's the head coach

454
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.720
last year, and Mike Wells,
our dv coach Jason Welsh, our line

455
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.920
coach Baja Perez, our d line
coach John Joels, our quarterback coach Colin

456
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:30.079
nick Breer ore one of our assistants, Dylan opfelt in, our running backs

457
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.559
coach Burnt Cook. Because those guys
have been with me for the past seven

458
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.559
years once I took this job,
and we've just been grinding and trying to

459
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.279
build this thing, and I couldn't
abass to do it with a better group

460
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:45.000
of guys. So does this establish
something you guys saw what it takes to

461
00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.000
become a champion. Do you have
enough returning now that gives you hope for

462
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:52.519
maybe next year. I can not
even give you a chance to breathe right

463
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:55.480
to tell you enjoy this. But
you know, once you get the taste

464
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:59.079
of this and the success and all
that stuff, how does it look down

465
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.960
the road? How do you do
this again? You know, we've got

466
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:06.799
a lot of work. This has
been I mean, we haven't won a

467
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.480
state championship. It's the first one
for Sabino High School since nineteen ninety eight,

468
00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:15.880
the first one in all of Tucsons
since twenty fifteen. So we're excited.

469
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.839
We got this one done with a
ton of exceptional human beings and a

470
00:32:19.880 --> 00:32:24.240
ton of exceptional athletes. But we're
not gonna just rest on winning this one.

471
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:27.880
We've got to work cut out for
us. But I'll tell you what,

472
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:30.839
We're gonna enjoy this for a little
bit. But we got some juniors

473
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:36.559
and a very talented sophomore and freshman
class that I know they're chomping at the

474
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:38.079
bits to go put the pads on
and get back to the weight room and

475
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:43.400
start building once again. But right
now, this is all about the class

476
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:49.000
of twenty twenty four and the twenty
twenty three is a magical season because they're

477
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.759
gonna remember this moment, hold that
gold ball together, being on that field

478
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:55.480
for the rest of their lives.
It's a very very special season. Yeah,

479
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.759
yeah, no question. Okay,
Well, coach, congrats again,

480
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:02.839
enjoy this, enjoy it for a
long time. Yeah, and coach,

481
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.039
I'm I'm gonna I'm an old Tomorrow
high school guys, Steven, I'm gonna

482
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:12.599
say congratulations to you, so nice
job for bringing one to Tucson. Absolutely,

483
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.440
Jay, Steve, thank you very
much. And uh, hopefully all

484
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:19.559
Tuson's going to root on CDO next
week as they battle one so we can

485
00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:22.359
get two state championships back to Tucson
in two weeks. Well, coach,

486
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.519
real quick before you go, I'm
curious, did you get any texts or

487
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:29.200
calls from the local coaches saying,
hey, you know, we broke through.

488
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:35.359
I mean, the support has been
amazing. I think I got a

489
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:40.319
text or call or message on social
media from pretty much every high school coach

490
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:46.000
in so they're incredibly supportive, and
it's amazing. I mean, we spend

491
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:52.279
so much time rinding our guys.
It's fun to sit back and talk to

492
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.640
some of these guys minus that one
week that you get to play them and

493
00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:00.400
compete against them. But we know
what it's going through for for our own

494
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:05.079
team, and we know everybody's doing
it. So it takes some special guys

495
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.159
to take on the responsibility to coach
high school football. It's a lot of

496
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:13.639
grinding, a lot of long hours. So I really appreciated every single text

497
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:17.400
that that guy's got. But it's
a special brotherhood of amongst coaches, and

498
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:21.519
we've got some really good people running
football teams around this town. Well,

499
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.599
coach McBrier, well you've got to
congratulations from Jay. That's that's that's a

500
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:30.000
victory in itself, So thanks you
much. I know that that hurts for

501
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.440
Cougar to say it, but I
really appreciate it. Thanks very much,

502
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:38.159
all right, coach you well,
thank you. That does hurt. It's

503
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:44.800
stings, man, It's stings those
rivalries, rivalries, right, you know,

504
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:46.880
sixty years later, man, fifty
years later, it's not enough to

505
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:50.800
have a victory over the weekend.
I know, you know what. It's

506
00:34:50.800 --> 00:34:53.119
instep feeling good about stuff, Stevid
exactly. All right, we'll be right

507

forty years. Now take a look back

511
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:27.559
at the Ludolsen era in my new
book, Lessons from Lut. It was

512
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:30.519
a labor of love through the eyes
of twenty five former players, coaches,

513
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:32.960
and friends to give insight to the
coach and the man who led them,

514
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:37.679
competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty five

515
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.960
years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons
from Lut is an insight to how he

516
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.679
built the program into a national powerhouse. Want one, Email me at Steve

564
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:21.280
ja man, we don't do like
we got fourteen minutes to go. Don't

565
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:22.960
be like those runners are on the
plane and drop the ball before they get

566
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:27.039
into the end. Yeah happened like
two weeks ago. No, it did.

567
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.159
That was a bad one too.
I mean it was. I feel

568
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.599
like it wasn't even close the washing
the game Washington. Do you want to

569
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:37.599
do maybe another clip or two of
a Jed and then go to basketball.

570
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:43.239
We got fourteen minutes, yeah,
real quick, because uh, let's let's

571
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:46.960
let's talk about the you know,
the what Jeed's saying about the Bowl games?

572
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:51.000
All right, but you know what
they're talking about stuff like that.

573
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.719
It's it's it's really uh, you
know, it's there. And the question

574
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.039
is, you know, everybody's asking
where are they going? So here's a

575
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:00.480
little bit of what he had to
say about not only getting ready for the

576
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.639
balls, but then where he thinks
they're gonna go. You know, there's

577
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.679
probably gonna be one, maybe two
guys that don't play in the Bowl Game

578
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:15.840
due to either NFL circumstances or injury, whatever it might be. You know,

579
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:20.800
I think if you're a first rounder, I could see it. I

580
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:24.519
could see not playing in it.
I think that other than that, I

581
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:30.199
think most guys will play in it. It's an opportunity to showcase your skill

582
00:40:30.320 --> 00:40:34.320
one more time. I think you
have to take a little cost benefit analysis.

583
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.920
I think some people take a step
back on that. But we talked

584
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:44.079
a couple guys about it. Most
guys I'm expecting to play, and that's

585
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.280
I think it's everybody's choice. But
this is a big time game we're going

586
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:51.920
to. You know, I would
assume we'll be playing in one of three

587
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:54.719
games, you know, probably one
of two games. I guess if Oregon

588
00:40:54.760 --> 00:40:59.199
and Washington both make the college football
playoffs, then I would assume we'll probably

589
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:02.760
play in the Fiesta. If uh, maybe otherwise, I assume we'll be

590
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:06.360
in the Animal Bole or something to
that effect. Is what it looks like.

591
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.280
And those are big time games,
and uh, you got a chance

592
00:41:09.320 --> 00:41:14.320
to be in a special game.
And if that's the case, then I

593
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:17.360
would think most guys want to be
in it. Yeah, he didn't mention

594
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:21.000
any names. He didn't mention,
but you know, one of them is

595
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.760
obviously Jordan's working right, guys,
added knee injury. He's a first round

596
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:28.840
draft pick pretty much across the board. I could see him saying, you

597
00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:34.320
know, and I would completely understand
that when you've had the injury. So

598
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:38.039
let's take this call higher on the
air and I on the ball. Yeah,

599
00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:42.559
this is Nico, man, what's
up, Miko. Yeah, First

600
00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:45.320
of all, Jane and Daniels should
not win. The has been true.

601
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:50.320
I'm agreeing with you, Nico.
His non conference schedule was sad as flow

602
00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:57.360
to State was weak. They played
for there Steve. That matters. I

603
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:02.079
agreed, I totally agreed. But
hey, I want to ask you this

604
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:07.159
and I'll listen out there. How
big was duynea Quina to this thing?

605
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.639
That's that's a question that you can't
find the wrong answer to. I don't

606
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:13.880
think, but I think in your
eyes, Jay, in my eyes,

607
00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:20.239
huge, huge, And we've been
told by others that it's huge. We've

608
00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:25.320
been told by others that adding the
Quina to the on field coaching staff was

609
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:31.159
huge, you know, for that
defense right just by style alone, style,

610
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:37.119
a level of credibility, enthusiasm,
all those things. Look Johnny Nansen,

611
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.559
he's proven to be, you know, pretty damn good defensive coordinator.

612
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:46.079
But you know, you're good because
of the people that you surround yourself with

613
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:50.400
and for them to say, you
know what, we know, Dwayne's been

614
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:53.079
around the block, you know,
one hundred times. But he's a guy

615
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:55.519
that can help us. Let's get
him on staff. And they did.

616
00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:00.480
And I don't think. I don't
think you can underestimate what effect you so

617
00:43:00.599 --> 00:43:01.599
next time, reminded me, and
I wanted to ask him before he hung

618
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:06.880
up, how did Kyler Murray game
go yesterday? That was not good.

619
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:13.039
We're one step closer to Marvin Harrison. That was terrible. I'm okay with

620
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.400
a lot of discussion with Jed about
a contract. Right, There's all these

621
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:24.039
jobs floating around out there, so
obviously the contract question came up, and

622
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:29.800
uh, he had an interesting approach, which you know, if Jed's real

623
00:43:29.920 --> 00:43:32.639
about these things, then you understand
why he's got a great staff. Here's

624
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:37.199
what he had to say about getting
a new an extension or a new contract

625
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:40.280
with U of A. Yeah,
well, before I get my contract done,

626
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:43.559
we're going to make sure that all
the coaches are taking care of her.

627
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:51.599
All the assistant coaches, we'll try
to certainly compensate them accordingly. We

628
00:43:51.880 --> 00:43:58.079
understand it's a very competitive atmosphere out
there in the profession, and the most

629
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:02.239
important part of my contract is that
our salary pool for our assistant coaches continues

630
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:07.719
to increase and that we're able to
keep our staff in check. It's been

631
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:14.440
very, very important the consistency of
our staff, which has enabled us to

632
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:17.239
win. So before I worry about
myself, I want to make sure we

633
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:22.400
take care of them, which was
a nice little statement there. Yeah,

634
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:27.119
well, and he is that that
word consistency because remember when we asked him

635
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:31.079
about Kyle Whittingham and the Utah program. Yeah, consistency was a big part

636
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:35.440
of what he talked about about why
they are where they are and why he

637
00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:40.559
would want his program to emulate that, and the consistency keeping a staff and

638
00:44:40.599 --> 00:44:45.280
stuff like that. But again,
Arizona fan, just know that when you're

639
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:49.920
Arizona and your coach is doing a
great job, people are gonna come looking

640
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.159
for him. As we had him
breaking news, that word has gotten out

641
00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:58.199
that Chip Kelly's not getting fired at
UCLA, So that takes one off the

642
00:44:58.199 --> 00:45:00.480
board that people were worried about.
This is a question that's premature, and

643
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.559
I'll wait till after but I'm gonna
throw this at you anyway. You've seen

644
00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:09.440
success very few times, but there
have been success. Right. One of

645
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:13.719
them was when they were ninety fourish
I can't remember, and you thought,

646
00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:16.119
Okay, they're gonna build from this, Right, didn't happen ninety eight ish?

647
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:21.559
You had that and didn't happen twenty
fourteen? Had it? Didn't happen.

648
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.400
What's next? What's what's next?
How can they build from this?

649
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.320
Because you have and I won't I
hate to use this word because it don't

650
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:32.760
believe in it, momentum, but
they've played well, they've had a good

651
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:37.800
run, and that's my momentum.
Good run. How can they not screw

652
00:45:37.840 --> 00:45:39.320
that up? Well? Think about
go back to eighty six, right,

653
00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:44.960
Larry Smith, you know had the
you know had that they had that.

654
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:49.960
See they went nine to three beat
an undefeated AS team that was going to

655
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:52.280
the Rose Bawl, and he was
gone the next you know, he went

656
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.840
to USC and the program took a
step back. Dick Tomy came in,

657
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.239
you know, I mean he got
it back to a while. Ye bit

658
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:01.840
though they went four, four and
three that first year under Dick, a

659
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:06.679
couple of a couple of seven and
seven and four seasons right before they got

660
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:09.199
to that festival season. But you
know, that's just what happens when you're

661
00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:14.960
in Arizona and and uh, you
know this is different from Tommy Lloyd.

662
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:17.679
Tommy Lloyd is you know, you're
not going to come approach Tommy Lloyd.

663
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:22.960
Arizona's going to poach somebody below that, right, because they're Arizona and basketball.

664
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:25.159
That's a it's a different deal.
I don't think you have to worry

665
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:30.480
about Duke or Michigan State or or
Kansas somebody coming and getting Tommy Lloyd.

666
00:46:30.639 --> 00:46:34.480
He's had a program that can win
at their level and he's he's already you

667
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:37.639
know, headed in that direction.
Two things, What if what if thinking

668
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.960
Zaga job opens up? Well,
then you see I don't see him doing

669
00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.920
that. Why would why would he
go to from the Pac twelve to the

670
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:51.280
conference. But it's also quality of
life. We don't know what that is,

671
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:54.760
but he loves it here. But
the good question, because we're two

672
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:58.280
dudes in a room, three dudes
in a room talking about somebody else's life,

673
00:46:58.440 --> 00:47:02.639
exactly what do we know? It's
also I think the Jedfish and Arizona

674
00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:08.400
football, the change in conference and
US and Utah being probable probable favorites to

675
00:47:08.480 --> 00:47:14.159
win the conference next year. Will
we'll keep a maybe a lot of players

676
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:16.519
in the program. And Jedfish knows
he has a chance to go win a

677
00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:22.079
conference. And so if you were
to go to who knows where, it

678
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:24.280
would take more years for them to
be in a position to win a car

679
00:47:24.480 --> 00:47:28.159
and one of the things you can't
discount in the NFL exactly. No.

680
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:30.559
Sure does he want to coach in
the NFL? I don't know to show

681
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.199
that. Sure, I'm guessing he
does at some point, at some point,

682
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.599
maybe not now, but at some
point. I think ultimately do coaches

683
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:42.800
get Ultimately, if Arizona loses him, I could see it being more to

684
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.800
the NFL. Then let me ask
you enough, this is the end all

685
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:47.679
be all, But do coaches in
the NFL make more money than the college

686
00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:52.039
coaches? Much more? They can't. I mean, unless you're Saban,

687
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:55.440
unless you're Urban Meyer or whoever.
Well you're listening, you're making five let's

688
00:47:55.480 --> 00:47:59.519
say five. Yeah, No,
they're making nine million dollars. Okay,

689
00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:02.800
So I'm where and those are just
average if you're in North Carolina three year

690
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:07.880
with a bad team. Yeah.
Like so then again you can be Frank

691
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:10.119
Ranch can get fired in less than
one year. Yeah. So, but

692
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:15.280
how much does he get paid?
It's still get seven Yeah, I mean

693
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:19.760
first year coach, it's probably like
six seven. Bill Belichick's the highest NFL

694
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:22.599
coach and he's in twenty years.
Put it this way, you make more

695
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:23.920
in the NFL than you're gonna make
it Arizona. Okay, Yeah, well,

696
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:28.320
and we know that situation, all
right. We got about five minutes,

697
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:32.039
so we gotta talk about this basketball
game on Thursday. Yeah again,

698
00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:37.159
Steve. To me, it was
the toughness that they continue to show.

699
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:39.400
Yeah, and it was a lot
like the game in the Duke. It

700
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:44.280
ended almost the same way. Guys
are doing the right things at the right

701
00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:47.400
time. I still have to qualify
this because it's only November and they're playing

702
00:48:47.639 --> 00:48:52.079
lights out number two team in the
country. God bless them. I've seen

703
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:58.199
this movie a few times before because
if something happens in March, what does

704
00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:02.320
us all mean? But this,
right now, it feels different because of

705
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:07.559
the way this team, this team
is unlike. This team is unlike anything

706
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.559
that he's had here then maybe in
the last seventies, unlike anything anybody's had

707
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:15.920
here in a while. Yeah.
Well, the twenty fourteen fifteen Sean was

708
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.239
pretty good. I think up and
Danny kind of started muddle. But yeah,

709
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:22.519
no, this has all the tools, has everything. And I think

710
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:29.119
because of love and because of Johnson, right and and j Lewis, Yes,

711
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.119
don't tell me there. Well,
I mean you can go on and

712
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:35.639
on and on there are some of
the parts. It's exactly it. I

713
00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:37.679
mean, they're just you know,
I mean Umar Ballow, you feel like

714
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:40.639
he's not had that greatest season because
he hasn't stood out. You go look

715
00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:44.519
at his numbers, yea, and
you look at the impact he's had,

716
00:49:44.920 --> 00:49:46.239
you know, he I mean,
he was the guy in the game in

717
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:50.000
the second half, you know,
instead of grievous, you know, because

718
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.920
because remember in the Duke game,
Crevos really showed out right, but then

719
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:54.519
it was Balo who was in there, you know the time, and then

720
00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:57.400
you didn't want him in there,
and then you didn't want him in there

721
00:49:57.400 --> 00:50:00.639
to when they you know, my
ability as a free throw ability. But

722
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:04.719
he was having an impact in there. Michigan State had a tough time getting

723
00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:08.800
the ball inside and that was due
to to Creve, to to to Bellow

724
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:14.000
and do to uh Kashah Johnson.
They were just tough in there, and

725
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:17.039
and Michigan just didn't know Michigan had
one or two guys that was that was

726
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:22.679
having the impact. When Arizona had
seven I think last year it was detailed

727
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:24.000
with us last year at this time, I think so right, because she

728
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:28.280
was a great current all that and
we talked about this. I think they

729
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:30.039
have something that they didn't have last
year. Obviously, toughness. That's very

730
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:35.400
easy. You don't you don't teach
what they've got. You don't teach either

731
00:50:35.440 --> 00:50:37.039
you got it or you don't.
And that was the argument we had,

732
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:39.960
right, Well, they'll be tough. No, you know you were tougher.

733
00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:43.440
You're not tough. Yeah, you
either want the ball or you don't

734
00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:46.119
like And and he has guys that
want the ball. Yeah, exactly.

735
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:51.679
And you can really, really really
see that with both Kylon Boswell and Ni

736
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:54.920
La Bluff when things get tight,
you know as they did they fell behind.

737
00:50:55.400 --> 00:50:59.039
You can see those guys are calling
for the ball. I want the

738
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:01.079
ball. I want to take a
shot. I know I can do this.

739
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:05.039
And when you have two and keishat
Johnson, when you have all those

740
00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:07.559
guys on the court and nobody's afraid
to do that, that's how you win

741
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:10.960
those games. Even Bradley coming off
the bench, shot clock winding down,

742
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:15.559
it's a huge shot shot that he
normally he's not taking that. Let me

743
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:20.880
say this too, he tummy is
animated and he's very you know, quotable

744
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:23.920
in a normal dude's way. He's
used the word dogs a couple of times.

745
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:28.920
I love it because that's what he
has. These are your bad wearing

746
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:31.920
uniforms. Who dudes just show up. I'll take you on. And this

747
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:36.960
is a white man can't jump.
Those dudes play and they say come on,

748
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:40.400
you know, make sure they're software
right, But these dudes are just

749
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:44.599
play you any time he said,
it's like he said, we got dogs

750
00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:47.480
and we have winners. And that's
what Caleb Love and Johnson have been their

751
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:52.239
career. They're in their high school
careers too. When they were eight,

752
00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:54.400
over the last couple of years,
they had winners. Yeah, they didn't

753
00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:58.840
have dogs. They didn't have dogs. Yeah. I mean I loved a

754
00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:01.480
Zulas, but he was not he
was not a dog. I liked her,

755
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:05.079
he was not a dog. He
was kind of We tried to make

756
00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:07.079
him into it, but he was
dog. You don't have it. You

757
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:10.519
don't know who you are. You
know, he thinks it's just some guys

758
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:14.840
you know back you know even before
that, you're right, no dogs,

759
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:19.559
you know, Ben Ben matherin a
little bit of a dog. Yeah,

760
00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:22.320
but in the offensive way, right, Yeah, Daalen Terry, as much

761
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:24.679
as we thought he was a dog. He was not. You know,

762
00:52:24.679 --> 00:52:29.840
when you think comparing him to the
dogs quote unquote dog they have, well,

763
00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:32.000
we'll see. I think I think
it's still kind of early. Oh

764
00:52:32.159 --> 00:52:37.079
sure of course, but you come
to shove like you trust those guys right

765
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:38.880
now, But you know, you
can't change the name of the dog.

766
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:43.400
I mean, that's what they are. But like I'd always thought Ben and

767
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:47.039
Dalen were dogs and the rest of
the team around him, there's a different

768
00:52:47.639 --> 00:52:52.440
level of different doghouse. Those guys
are in the league. Yeah, yeah,

769
00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:57.719
but okay, I'll give you that, But they weren't the same type

770
00:52:57.760 --> 00:53:00.239
of these days. Yeah, those
these dudes are pit bulls, and the

771
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:04.760
other dudes were like okay, the
Doberman pictures, I don't know, not

772
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:08.239
even Doverman. They were like colleagues. We'll see, we'll see, we'll

773
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:12.440
see, because it's simple size of
six. Yeah, and I do think

774
00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:15.639
the rest of the team around them
means a lot. With Ben and Dalen,

775
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:19.960
it was like the rest of the
team was like puppies, and with

776
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:22.320
this team, it's it's collect there's
a bunch of them collect. Sure,

777
00:53:22.320 --> 00:53:23.360
there's a whole bunch of them.
All right, good show. That was

778
00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:27.400
fun. We got more to talk
about still, probably a lot more from

779
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:30.519
Jetfish. We'll try and play it
all tomorrow, so stick come on back

780
00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:34.239
tomorrow and have a great night.
I guess right. We can start playing

781
00:53:34.320 --> 00:53:37.840
Christmas music. Oh look at you
right, this is my favorite Christmas song.

782
00:53:38.920 --> 00:53:52.960
Eagles, please come home for Christmas
to have the mob. There's I

783
00:53:52.039 --> 00:54:00.320
have no fan. Wish well
