21
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.159
he's getting into. But welcome.
Thanks for being here, Sammy. Hey,

22
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.480
thank you guys for having me.
And excited for what's to come.

23
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.519
All right, we might eventually get
him to stop being a journalist, trying

24
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.359
him go to the business world.
Well, Chris isn't gonna be in here,

25
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.519
so that Oh yeah, take god, Yeah, we're already step ahead.

26
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.680
We are, we are so anyway, the good thing is you've got

27
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.799
and pointed out that he was totally
wrong. He was, and yeah,

28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.719
we got him convinced that he was
wrong and saying that Arizona was supposed to

29
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.640
be I tried to convince him,
and you got him convinced because there was

30
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.640
all his word, his verbage.
Yeah, he was saying they were supposed

31
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:53.359
to beat him. No they were
not. Yeah they were not. They

32
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.719
were never supposed to beat him.
They could have beat him, and some

33
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.840
might argue say that at the in
the you know, at the end of

34
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:01.280
the game, they should have beat
him, but they weren't supposed to be.

35
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:05.519
They were ten nine and a half, ten point underdogs, these country

36
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.039
guys. Okay, so cool,
okay, uh calls today, who do

37
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.360
we have on the should well we
got we hadn't heard from Greg Hanson a

38
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.599
couple of months. Uh, We're
not gonna go back and rehash all the

39
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.319
stuff. I'd like to hear what
he's got to say about, you know,

40
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.919
the Wildcats right now? You know
the Pac twelve. What's going on?

41
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.520
I mean, you know the paclass
twenty and three in in non conference

42
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.840
games and uh, just you don't
see what he's doing. I can assume

43
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.919
he's still up in Colorado playing golf
or whatever. Took him forever to get

44
00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:37.960
back to me this morning, so
I figured he was. He was,

45
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:39.919
you know, out on the links. But Greg will join us, a

46
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.840
good old friend, and then we're
gonna go through a little learning uh uh,

47
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.400
a learning session. We're gonna learn
about college triathlon. We got the

48
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.280
head coach of the Arizona women's triathlon
team, West Johnson. It's a new

49
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:59.120
sported Arizona. They've had their first
meet and apparently it was a very good

50
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.240
showing. They took second place in
a in a meet up at a s

51
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:07.680
u as us A triathlon power I
guess six national championships. So the fact

52
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.960
that Arizona finished second to them in
their first ever meet, uh, it

53
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.439
was a pretty good deal. So
we'll talk to West. So we'll we'll

54
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.000
we'll introduce him, he'll will introduce
ourselves to him, and uh, talk

55
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.919
a little bit about what traathlon is
all about. I really, I mean

56
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.000
I had to go look it up. But you know, a traathlon is

57
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.400
officer, you compete in three good
types of events. I had to find

58
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.039
faut what are they? Right?
Well? Really, yeah, it's it's

59
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.639
cycling, swimming, and running.
Sure, right? And uh, if

60
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.000
you're making me exercise so I'm already
tired. Yeah, it's gonna you know,

61
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.479
I would do each of those once
a month. I'm not sure I'm

62
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.919
going to do them all within a
couple of hours of each other. Give

63
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.159
me, give me a mile on
each of them. Okay, you don't

64
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:50.719
give me a time limit, Steve, I still haven't gotten on my bikes

65
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.120
since the l Tour two years ago. I don't plaids gathering doesn't. But

66
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.520
we're on a record pace to get
them the most ever. So okay,

67
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.639
So that's one of those guests.
On the other one is well Greg and

68
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.919
the and the graphic Greg at three
fifteen West Johnson, the traathlon coach Pad

69
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:11.159
four fifty. Okay, mister,
okay, cool cool? What else is

70
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.400
going on? Just they had another
press press Cusha. Did they have anythings

71
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.839
tomorrow? Yeah, we'll have Jet, We'll have je Fish tomorrows will play

72
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.720
some clips of getting ready to go, you know, go play play U

73
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.959
tap you know to me Steve,
the buzz around. Uh, the football

74
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.199
team is really all about Jaden,
Laura. That's all. I'm sure you

75
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.959
know. And I'm trying to tell
people what I thought we heard from Jed

76
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:36.759
Fish was deal with it. Yeah, this is who he is, This

77
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.560
is who he's gonna be. You
just hope that when he when bad Jaden

78
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.639
is out, it doesn't cost you
a game, but you're gonna see bad

79
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.160
Jaden sure probably from here until he
leaves. Get the good with the bad.

80
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.199
You just you just do. You
just hope that the good Jaden is

81
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.759
way better than the bad Jaden is
bad. Right, it comes to me

82
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.600
and I tell you this all the
time. Well, they'll learn from this,

83
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.560
No, because if you are who
he knows, Yeah, of course,

84
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.600
should I put this ball in that
place? Let me try. I'll

85
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:09.439
give you a perfect example. Nine
out of ten quarterbacks, nine out of

86
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.839
ten, ten out of ten.
I give you ten quarterbacks. How many

87
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:17.079
are doing that sneak without permission?
None of them? Exactly except for one?

88
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.680
Right right? What he's your quarterback? Yeah? Here, Michael Wiley.

89
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.879
You know he's in the backfield.
He did not know that was happening,

90
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.879
and he just he and then all
of a sudden he sees Jayden trying

91
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.600
to pile through the through the line. Then he sees Kyle H. McLaughlin

92
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.040
go up and start pushing him.
So he jumps in and pushing it.

93
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.000
So let me, let me make
let me make this example, because I

94
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.439
know your history with you with your
father. You do something, he tells

95
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:45.759
you, how you do this,
you're ask his mind, but you're gonna

96
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.600
do it. Hell no, Well, let me say this. I'm glad

97
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:54.079
you. I'm glad I'm gonna I
did a lot of things my dad didn't

98
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.720
know didn't know and didn't I knew
he didn't want me to do, but

99
00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.920
he didn't know. Okay, but
what if he would have did? And

100
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.000
what if you would have got in
trouble for it? I mean got in

101
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.000
trouble for it and then he found
out. I you know, I'm not

102
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:11.000
gonna say that I took time a
lot of time in doing this, but

103
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.639
I evaluated my risk and my reward
even every time you're following run into my

104
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.959
trump. So so now I think
that Dolora knows exactly what that risk.

105
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.439
He knows where the line. He
knows where that line is. Had he

106
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:29.279
not completed that, everything changes and
everything changes with the game, But what

107
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.240
does a change with with the relationship. While you would think I would think

108
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.360
that and that the trust factor would
take a bit of a hit, I

109
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.839
don't know how much of a trust
factor. He did it without anyone,

110
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:45.800
but the point being that right now
jet Fish just trusts him to to to

111
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.839
make make make decisions that work.
Okay, that would happen to work,

112
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.319
now, you know? Is it? The other way is that did his

113
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.759
trust and Jade and Dolora increase because
he made that play? This is different

114
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.480
though, this is different and give
you a scenario. Okay, they go

115
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.680
to the line, they're they're talking
over the play before it goes to the

116
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:08.519
line. He'say, coach, I
have na idea if I see something catty

117
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.079
womp us on their end, I'm
gonna try this, right, I'm gonna

118
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.040
try this. If I don't,
I ain't doing this. Yeah, he

119
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.879
didn't even go didn't do that.
He just did it. But wouldn't you

120
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.759
say, Okay, if I see
And then Jenna say, but however you

121
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.120
feel if you see it, go
for it. Does that make sense?

122
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.600
Yeah? And I think you know, I put put myself in in more

123
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.279
of a dad position, right.
I think my kid does something like that.

124
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.959
He does something that I probably wouldn't
have given the okay, or I

125
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.959
would have thought, but it works. I'm like, Okay, I get

126
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.120
it. You know you didn't crash
the car. Uh, you didn't screw

127
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.160
up your life, right, right? But you know what, don't do

128
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:47.839
that again? Yeah? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, right, you know

129
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.240
what you do? Sure, sure, don't do that again. But do

130
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:59.879
you know he's gonna well that and
that and that's the that's the day,

131
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.680
Delora that I think we all have
to get used to that that he's gonna

132
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.800
take chances. Sometimes they're gonna work
and sometimes they're not, and you just

133
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.959
hope the ones that don't work don't
kill you, right right, I think

134
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.759
that's I think, and I think
that we're looking at a season long.

135
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.720
But but think of it, Steve, were you happy that it worked?

136
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.759
I was. I'm like, okay, he you know, he pulled it

137
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.519
out. Now I saw the film. I don't know if you saw the

138
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.279
the you know, the number of
replays, I don't think he ever got

139
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.000
in, but you couldn't tell.
And the rest said he was in,

140
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.679
So that was all that mattered.
So the gut one, I think that

141
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.919
I didn't I see. I was
watching where his feet were, okay,

142
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.480
because everybody was standing straight up,
nobody, you know, he didn't dig

143
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.440
in. He went in, you
know, so all you saw were feet.

144
00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.759
His feet never got to the goal
line, and with the angle that

145
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.799
he body was, body was thinking. I don't know that he got in.

146
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.799
And then he got the ball taken
away from him and the guy and

147
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.159
he falls into the endzle but now
he doesn't have the ball. But they

148
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.639
called it a touchdown. If they
had called it no touchdown, you would

149
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.879
have been, they wouldn't have turned
it over because you couldn't see him.

150
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.240
Yeah, well so it worked.
I'm like, Okay, it worked,

151
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.240
but I'm kind of like the same
thing. I'm like, now that I

152
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.519
found out that nobody else was in
on it, I'm like, Jaden,

153
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.360
you maybe shouldn't do that, or
at least he said, tell, you

154
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:37.240
know, tell Jed you know if
if if there's an opening, I'm taking

155
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:43.080
it and he and Jed says okay, sure, then you go right right,

156
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.279
So there's that trust factor. Jayden
didn't tell him and he didn't know,

157
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.679
nobody knew. How's that trust factor? I would have said to coach,

158
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.720
there might be a chance where I
might do this and and I hope

159
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.519
what do you think? And Jed
would have says, well, just kind

160
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.679
of okay. If you think that
your confident, don't have to get in

161
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.279
you can do it, right.
But that didn't happen. That didn't happen.

162
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.320
That could have borrow the keys.
You're crazy. Yeah, I've seen

163
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.279
you drive. Hey Dad, I'm
gonna go ring this doorbell and run.

164
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:15.759
What do you think You better hope
they don't have a door dash thing doorbell?

165
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.240
Yeah, you can't do that.
You can't do that kind of stuff.

166
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.679
You get caught. But you know
again, you know just what what

167
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.960
you know, it's my Wednesday launch. We talked about the game, We

168
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.480
talked about everything, and all of
the conversation was about Laura and it's gonna

169
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.840
be. I don't think you've had
a quarterback like him. We talked about

170
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.759
this right never. I still think
Khalil just kind of Cli wasn't okay,

171
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.720
but Click wasn't a gambler. Well, I don't know, but I don't

172
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.600
I don't feel I don't know.
I don't know about that because here's the

173
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.440
guy who wanted to pass, I
know, but all of them, but

174
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.639
all those runs that he made,
you know, the sea, the sea

175
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.799
parted for him, But they were
those weren't you know, gambles except for

176
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.080
the issue game when he got hurt
on the shoulder before you But yeah,

177
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.360
but you know, in terms of
a guy that just you know, thinks

178
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.679
he can make all these plays and
sometimes he can and sometimes he can't.

179
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.039
I don't recall a guy like that. I mean, I guess i'd go

180
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.120
back to you wouldn't You wouldn't even
seen him? Was Tom Tounecliff who you

181
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.440
know who limited athletic ability, short
guy, but a good quarterback. He

182
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.919
was a good, good, solid
quarterback, a very smart quarterback. If

183
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.960
you if I you know, if
you want me to rank quarterbacks in terms

184
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.759
of you know, how I think
they saw the field and their intelligence on

185
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:33.960
the field. You know, you
gotta go to guys like ton of Cliff,

186
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.639
Nick Foles. But Johnson Tom Toncliff
was you know, was that kind

187
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:45.279
of guy. But he didn't have
Jane Delord's athletic ability to do the things

188
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:50.080
that Jane Delord's. But he would
make throws that you thought you saw him

189
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.519
winding up to throw. He said, don't throw that, and then he

190
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.679
would throw it. So, Sammy, you're a young dude. You played

191
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.320
ball probably what's Woodwood sports pretty much? So you you know the deal.

192
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.759
You you work for the PGA.
You know some of those big ego guys,

193
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.639
there's not anything they can't do,
right, They've been doing this.

194
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.960
No one's gonna tell him no.
So this is Jaden's been this guy all

195
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.000
his life, right, no one's
gonna tell him. I could I could

196
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.720
pull this off him just to be
a little to use a golf thing.

197
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.960
Tiger Woods never never saw a shot
that he didn't think he could Yeah,

198
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.320
because he was that guy. Well, I think you can look at Jordan

199
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.879
Spi, I mean he's the main
guy. Him and him and his caddie

200
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.600
go back and forth all the time, and at the end of the day,

201
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.080
Jordan will hit the shot that he
wants to hit before the caddy will

202
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.639
get in his ear. And half
the time he's good enough to make that

203
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.159
shot work. But there's a handful
of time it doesn't, right, Sure,

204
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.000
But that's the ego in them,
This is you can pull this off.

205
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.919
And there are a lot of golfers
like that, right those guys are

206
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.399
you know there the best, the
best they see a shot and they they

207
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.360
see something we don't see and they
hit that shot. And you know,

208
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.279
the great ones make the shots all
the time, and the bad ones are

209
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.720
you know, on the corn face. You also don't know the limitations,

210
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.639
right, they don't. There's a
there's a saying there's there's no golf shot.

211
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.679
A golfer doesn't think you can't hit. I'm dude, I do that.

212
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.000
I'm sitting there and I've got I've
got ten feet between two trees where

213
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.360
i could chip straight out left,
get back on the fairway. I'm going

214
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.799
between the trees because I think I
can make that shot and then I hit

215
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.600
the tree every time, well every
time. It doesn't surprise you. Come

216
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.559
on, That's that's the way it
is. But but you know, I

217
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:31.039
again, we're you know, we're
uh, I'm I'm I'm dating myself,

218
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.200
you know, more and more towards
Okay, just you know, close your

219
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.840
eyes sometimes and see what happens and
hope, hope for the best, you

220
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.759
know. And and Steve, there's
gonna be times when you're gonna want that.

221
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.919
You know, You're you're playing against
Washington. You you know, you

222
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.440
need a guy to make a play, and nobody's making plays and Jane Delord

223
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.279
makes a play and you go,
I'm glad we have it, right.

224
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.519
I mean, I feel like that. That's what it's going to kind of

225
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.759
be like here the rest of this
year with with de Laura. Okay,

226
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.840
yeah, uh you want to take
the break out. We're just about a

227
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.840

Hanson in. We'll talk about all
the stuff going on and uh, just

229
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.200

thoughts. I'm I'm guessing he'll watch the

230
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.000
game because it's still it's not a
job, but he's still you know,

231
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.840
talking about the wildcats and stuff.
So see what what what he's got to

232
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.720
say, and uh, where things
are at. And then again you know,

329
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.160
it wasn't. It was fifty eight
today. I'm cold. It's supposed

330
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:47.359

right, you're not miss much. Hundred

335
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.759
and two. I heard it was
raining today in the middle of the day.

336

My sister got her roof torn off
in Scottsdale last night. The rich

337
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:12.640
people problems. Oh wow, yeah. Yeah. So anyway, hey man,

338
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.920
so what are you up to you? I'm I'm I'm I'm assuming you're

339
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.920
watching what's going on out there with
with Colorado, with Arizona with the pac

340
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.440
twelve. Oh yeah, you know, first of all, let's talk about

341
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.599
Arizona. You watch the game Saturday, But where do you think they are?

342
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:32.359
You know, with this whole thing
about Jaden Delora and he's, you

343
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.640
know, the gun slinger and I
call him bad Jayden comes out and all

344
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:40.359
that kind of stuff, some of
your thoughts and all that. I thought

345
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:44.200
by the fourth quarter and after that
that Arizona had the better team. They

346
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:48.519
just obviously, you know, I
couldn't pull it off. But after that

347
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:52.000
first quarter, I thought the boy
Arizona is actually the superior club here.

348
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:59.839
And I couldn't turn out that way. But I still think Jaden Delora is

349
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.039
really when there was going to had
a better quarterback than Jane Delora ex said

350
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:06.920
Nick Foles. Well, we were
just talking about that, and I threw

351
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:10.000
it back to you know, I'm
trying to think of a guy who just

352
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:14.160
a type of Yeah, who was
the type of quarterback who got back there

353
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.960
and felt that he could make every
throw, whether he could or not.

354
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.599
I threw it all the way back
to Tom Tunecliff that, you know,

355
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:23.839
because he threw a ton of interceptions. You remember that, Yeah, I

356
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.160
do remember that. Why do you
do that? Because he because he thought

357
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.519
he could make the throw. There's
your guy, Jane, there's it's a

358
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:36.039
good pick. Yeah to Jane knew
him and I knew him. I was

359
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:41.039
the beat man man. He was
just he was a self believer. He

360
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:47.240
was like five eleven if that,
and he just was tough as nails.

361
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.599
I mean, how many big time
games did Tom pull out? Beat number

362
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:56.960
one USC beat number two, UCLA
knocked off a su when they were going

363
00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:03.720
to the Rose Bowl, in nineteen
eighties, eighties too, but he had

364
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.279
nowhere near the physical tools that do. Laura asked, right again, if

365
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.480
you were the beat guy, what
was the underlying thing about Tom that struck

366
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:17.440
you? And I'm hoping you answer
how I was asking a question. Well,

367
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:21.319
those those Larry Smith's teams were built
on toughness. Yeah, there was

368
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:23.920
no finesse, and Tom was tough. I don't think he ever missed the

369
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:27.400
game. In fact, I'm sure
he didn't miss the game. And he

370
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:33.759
was knocked around, knocked down.
But I remember the first first time I

371
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:36.039
ever talked to him in person.
I was bigger than him. I couldn't

372
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:41.640
believe it, and he was just
gutty and I was a winner. And

373
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:47.640
of course he wasn't NFL material,
and it wasn't anywhere near as fast as

374
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.799
do Laura didn't have the arm do
Laura asked, But that's who I think.

375
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.720
The Lord just has the the dare
in him the ton of Cliff had.

376
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:00.680
That's great. I was thinking,
confident, that was the word I

377
00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:03.960
was. Dare. Yeah, the
dare the fearlessness they believe in himself.

378
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.480
And yeah, I mean that's that, That's what it seems to me.

379
00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.440
Is that, you know, he
doesn't have any fear about stuff, and

380
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:15.119
sometimes you wish he had a little
bit of fear, you know, in

381
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.200
a couple of things. I know
Jed tried to tell, you know,

382
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:23.559
tell us on on Monday that some
of those throws weren't bad. They all

383
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:30.000
the picks looked bad, you know, they were late that he threw the

384
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:32.680
you know, he tried to say, well, the defensive back made a

385
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.640
great play on on one. Well, he never should have thrown the ball

386
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.720
there. You know, it was
a deep pass and the guy was bracketed

387
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.359
and and he threw it in and
he tried to, you know, squeeze

388
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.039
it in there, and it got
picked off. And yet I thought his

389
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:51.160
worst passid the night was when he
missed cowing and the overtime when he was

390
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:56.039
wide open he could have taken into
inside the tenny arm line. He really

391
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.720
wasn't under pressure. He just missed
the pass. But how about him trying

392
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.519
that quarterbacks to make nobody know about
we're we're just talking about that. I

393
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.039
mean, come on, the when
I say you're ten, I'll give me

394
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:11.880
to give you ten quarterbacks, Jake, how about Jay Greg? How many

395
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:19.319
you're going to actually do that,
man zero. You know, you couldn't

396
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:23.960
tell watching TV. It looked like
a called play and the announcers were didn't

397
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:30.359
really know what was going on.
The only one that did was Jake I

398
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.559
know. I mean, the offensive
lineman didn't even know enough to push him

399
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.720
in the end zone for a while. Yeah right, And I still don't

400
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:40.640
think he got in. I still
don't think he ever got across the line,

401
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:42.680
but you couldn't tell. And then
they called it a touchdown, touchdown,

402
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.519
so that that was it. But
you know, I'm trying to get

403
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:49.119
the people that I'm talking to,
and you know, the crowd that I

404
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:52.960
talked about about. Guys, get
used to this, get used to the

405
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.359
fact that Delora the rest of the
season is going to be the guy who

406
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.119
takes risks. He's gonna make some
throws that you're gonna hate, and then

407
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.599
he's gonna that you're gonna hate that
that turn out to be bad, and

408
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:07.960
now you're gonna hate and turn out
to be good. You just hope that

409
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.279
the bad ones don't kill you.
I mean you, I feel like that's

410
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:15.920
what we're dealing with. I think
it one I think at least one or

411
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:21.880
two Saturdays this year he's gonna pull
off a colossal upset over like a Washington

412
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:27.039
or not USC or an Oregon.
And then maybe the other day he's gonna

413
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:32.799
lose the Oregon State or Washington State
because of the same stuff, No question,

414
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:36.559
no question. But he's in't that
typical Arizona quarterback throughout the years?

415
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:44.039
Bingo? God, I kind of
hate that. Yeah, I kind of

416
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:47.400
hate that. That's how it's always
been, right, well right, the

417
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:49.839
expectations again. It's like, oh
god, here we go again. Yeah,

418
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:55.680
I hate I hate seeing you guys
suffer. No, you don't know,

419
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.319
you don't. You take so much
pleasure in it. No, I

420
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.279
do it. I just say,
you know, these guys need to change

421
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.880
the leasion. Have you have your
overall impressions of in these first two games?

422
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:06.519
I know you know, any of
you. I don't know how much

423
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:11.680
we learned. You saw this this
uh Mississippi State game. Are your impressions

424
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.000
of the team as a whole kind
of where they were going in? You

425
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.960
think they changed a little bit?
You think, wow, with what they

426
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.559
did against Mississippi State, even though
they didn't win them, maybe they're better

427
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.920
than you thought they were going to
be. Where were you at on that.

428
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:27.240
I think you're about exactly where I
I thought they might be. I

429
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:33.039
was wondering when they would take advantage
of team acting. And I think all

430
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.480
of us, anyone who watching that
game last week, thought this guy is

431
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.920
really, really, really special.
I mean, what if you did what

432
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.279
if you didn't tip co out of
bounce in the last series, he would

433
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.680
have had to have been the best
the pactball player of the week. Yeah,

434
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.640
even ahead of the Colorado guys.
Yeah, because you gonna win on

435
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:56.559
the road, you know, in
a game like that in the end,

436
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.279
in the SEC and not against one
of the SEC scrubs, right, one

437
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.920
of you know, one of the
good teams in the league. So yeah,

438
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.039
I thought that. I just thought
that was a game that got away

439
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.960
that they they would win if they
played again, and they would definitely beat

440
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.319
him in Tucson. And maybe now
they know, I'm looking back at we

441
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:19.839
should have won that game, and
maybe it'll help them when they go when

442
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:23.319
they play Washington in two weeks.
Yea, all right, you're up in

443
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:30.200
Colorado. I was going to do, you're up there? U is that

444
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.519
thing spread out all over the state? I mean, are you is it

445
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.960
just NonStop conversation about these guys.
I mean, what are you what are

446
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:41.200
you experiencing up there with them?
Well, in previous years, I never

447
00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:47.480
heard one single word about Colorado football
in with the guys I play with in

448
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:52.240
golf. And last week I was
playing this guy named Jamie McCoy who's a

449
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.200
CEU grad, and I was asking
about him, and I said, are

450
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.200
you going to go to the game
against Nebraska? And he goes, I

451
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:06.400
paid fifteen hundred dollars each for two
tickets yesterday. Wow. So yeah,

452
00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:10.519
I mean, it's a buzz.
You can imagine if Arizona since was swishing,

453
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:14.759
it was Arizona. Deon Sanders was
at guys who never said a word

454
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.880
about him, they're talking about him
all the time. Well, and I

455
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.440
was. I was looking at it. Think Jody Ailer today he's ripping ASU

456
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:25.279
for not going after him when they
you know, when they had the chance.

457
00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:30.079
And he compared to say you went
after herm Edwards. Yeah, but

458
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.960
and you know you stretch, you
stretch yourself to take him. But you

459
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:37.039
thought Dean Sanders was a risk?
What the hell are you doing? But

460
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.240
guys, but guys who knew,
I mean, come on, you're taking

461
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.759
him who knew. I mean,
it's like Betty five bucks on a roulette

462
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:49.440
wheel for number one, number one
and hoping number one comes in. Did

463
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.799
you want remember last year when Jackson
State was in that playership game, Yeah,

464
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.599
their bowl game. I remember watching
that game and I didn't come away

465
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:04.119
thinking it was any special. And
Shader the quarterback, I can't even remember

466
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.839
him in that game. And suddenly
she's as good as any quarterback in the

467
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:15.440
league. Man, But let's see, let's see what happens when they play

468
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.160
USC and when they play USC in
Oregon back to back. That's the whole

469
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.319
thing. I don't want to poo
poo that, but come on, I'm

470
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.920
gonna ask you, Jay, you're
gonna take the chance twelve months ago?

471
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:29.200
Are you gonna take the chance?
Well, and not because he's whatever,

472
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:30.519
But you don't know this is gonna
happen. You don't, Yeah, you

473
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.480
know, No, you don't know, all right, you don't know what

474
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:37.920
you don't know. But but when
you put it in the context of what

475
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.519
did they know about her Edwards being
a college? Right, they went ahead

476
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.359
and took her Edwards, But they
didn't think that they you know, they

477
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.000
thought, you know, Jan Sanders
was more of a risk and they had

478
00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.279
nothing, didn't even try. Greg, are you taking this chance? Well?

479
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.759
I just think back to how many
bad head coaches have been hired just

480
00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:00.279
in the PAC twelve. I mean, starting with Kevin someone number one.

481
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:07.640
Why don't ever take a retrout again? You don't take a chance with Deon

482
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:13.240
Sanders, right, or take a
chance with Jed Fish? Yeah? I

483
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.559
mean who I mean? Who I
mean? What was the reaction when they

484
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:21.279
went and got Jed Fish? We
all lost our minds exactly. And I'm

485
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:23.319
not saying that he's he's not.
We don't know if he's going to be

486
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:27.960
the greatest coach in Arizona history,
but he's on a nice trajectory so far.

487
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:32.440
Can you imagine if they had hired
Brent Brennan instead, he wouldn't have

488
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:37.920
done any of this off the field
stuff that Fish does to row as support

489
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:44.119
in the community and to recruit,
Like can you imagine Brent brannon recruiting team

490
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.960
making those guys no way? Yeah, I hear you, yeah right,

491
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.440
yeah? No? And I mean, Greg, there were forty five thousand

492
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:58.119
or more at the NAU game.
It was a legit crowd. Well they

493
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:01.200
announced forty eight. It wasn't forty
eight, but it was forty five.

494
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.240
It really was. By the time
you know, how we are, right,

495
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.000
the fans show up in the middle
of the first quarter. By the

496
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:12.279
time it filled in, there were
a good forty five thousand there. I

497
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.680
thought, I don't know if you
thought that. Yeah, yeah, I

498
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:22.200
guess it's too late of a game. It's an eight o'clock game. You

499
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:28.240
lose some people right there. You're
greg by first quarter. Man doesn't come

500
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:35.000
on here exactly, It's my point. But no, you know, but

501
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.960
but again, you know, but
still the fact that it was even forty

502
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.039
thousand, like you know, against
an Au you know, on a hot

503
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:45.799
you know, Saturday night, on
Labor Day weekend, right, So yeah,

504
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.400
I mean, you know, again
you don't know, and you're right,

505
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:52.880
I mean nobody, I mean,
did Colorado hope something. Colorado couldn't

506
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.720
even imagine that this was going to
happen. I mean, they got you

507
00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.319
know, best case scenario was that
he draw some interest that be in the

508
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.240
conversation because he was Dion Sanders,
but not that they would be doing.

509
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:07.519
You're talking about the guy who's a
program that was at the bottom bottom bottom.

510
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:12.079
What what's what could they lose right
exactly. I mean they rolled the

511
00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:16.000
dice because they had nothing right exactly. So I go in the I go

512
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:21.320
on the local library here about twice
a week to read the Denver Post sports

513
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:28.119
section. And in previous years you
you never saw a Colorado football story,

514
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:31.440
page six maybe, and now it's
it's all over. I mean, it's

515
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:37.079
above the it's above the Broncos.
It's unbelievable. The Broncos are bad.

516
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:42.760
We'll see it's gonna be fun because
well wait, wait, I can't remember.

517
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.440
If we had you before the years
started and I asked, or did

518
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.960
I ask you how many wins they
had in them Arizona, I would have

519
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:58.119
said seven. Man, you are
drinking the cores up in THEAD. I

520
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.519
had five. I had five,
ma six. But now Colorado was Colorado

521
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:05.360
is not one of those gwins?
Now, will you can't mark it down

522
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:07.880
like you you're like you thought you
could for sure? Do you want to

523
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:15.440
revise? I would revise, not
to six. Okay, I don't think

524
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:20.360
they'll be Colorado unless Shader Standards is
injured. Yeah, then it's up there

525
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.960
and it's up there. Yeah okay, Well we'll be safe coming back,

526
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:27.599
so you'll be here for the Washington
game. Where is that what we're hearing?

527
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.440
Yeah, I wanted to say something
to ruin Jay's day. Oh god,

528
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:37.760
it's the golf course today. We
have a home and home against the

529
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:43.920
men's club from Lakewood Country Club.
And guess who's in their country club and

530
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:50.360
played here's a Goose gossage. Oh
no. But I finally got up enough

531
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:57.239
courage and I went over and said, thank you for nineteen seventy. Well,

532
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:59.519
you know what you just did,
ruin this whole thing, and we're

533
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:04.280

on you now. Who's nice knowing you'll

536
00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:13.239

you for listening on the iHeart up. So so okay. I saw on

628
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:44.559
sports betting time dot com that the
Dolphins on there on some who are whatever

629
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:47.639
sports book thereies you are now the
favorite to win the AFC. I'm looking

630
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:51.119
at Draft Kings. It's still the
Chiefs, the Bills, Yeah, then

631
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:53.559
the Dolphins. What would that be
because the Chiefs are partly a five to

632
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:58.679
one, four thirty three forty fourth
row even after the loss. Yeah,

633
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:02.039
Oh that was just that, just
something that happened that Yeah, it was

634
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.280
that messed me up. I wrecked
my whole weekend. Steve started Thursday,

635
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.920
It started Thursday night, and it
never got better. It never got the

636
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:17.480
game you hit, I hit Oklahoma. Oh yeah, they barely covered by

637
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:21.639
half a point. They were not. I was I was looking at the

638
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:25.800
score and they were only up.
I think they were up three with like

639
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.440
middle of the fourth quarter, and
they scored two touchdow. I said that

640
00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:32.400
before the week, I thought last
week's games were weird because they're obvious,

641
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:36.519
obvious covers for that obvious, and
they were not. They were not.

642
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:39.079
They were not. Then this week
it's just like a terrible college football schedule.

643
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:44.039
Yeah, but at least, you
know, and you know, I

644
00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:46.760
was hoping that our special game this
week would have been the Jets and the

645
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:53.599
Cowboys until until Aaron Rodgers got hurt. Bengals Ravens Okay, should be Bengals

646
00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:57.079
got beat. But they're at home
now and their favorite. The Ravens are

647
00:43:57.119 --> 00:44:00.239
pretty good. Ravens are pretty good. Yeah, they're not among the leap,

648
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.000
but we're going Bengal. We're going
Ravens Bengals at the Bengals right now.

649
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:06.800
The last I saw, Bengals were
a three point favorite. Okay,

650
00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:10.440
so I think Burrow was horrible.
But the only game really of any interest

651
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.599
I know there's a lot of interest
in the Colorado Colorado State. Did you

652
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:20.559
see that both the Fox pregame show
and Game Day are gonna be at Colorado.

653
00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:22.920
Fox was there last week? Yeah, Yeah, they were there last

654
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:27.880
week too, sure, and it's
Colorado, Colorado State anyway. If there's

655
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.079
anything, He's brought ratings to a
lot of things. Yeah. But the

656
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:36.199
only really other game of any consequence
I think is the Washington Michigan state game.

657
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:38.800
And uh and last I saw,
Washington is a pretty big favorite.

658
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:43.079
But they're on the road, so
who knows what the hell is Gonnachian State.

659
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:47.119
Their situations, you know, and
it's to me that's a that's a

660
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:51.239
completely stay away from game because you
don't know if they can't come out fire,

661
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.480
if you're they're gonna come out,
you know, their seasons over already

662
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:58.960
or how they're gonna come out of
that. But uh, you know it,

663
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:01.920
I think I'm trying to look up
this line. I believe it was.

664
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:06.840
It was sixteen and a half or
fourteen and a half or some number

665
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:09.360
like that. Uh, it's a
it's app Michigan State. So that's the

666
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:14.880
first thing. It's it's sixteen.
Washington is a sixteen point favorite app Michigan

667
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:20.559
State. So other than that,
it's it's an awful schedule the following week.

668
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:22.199
Next week, it's a great schedule. You got Ohause State and Order

669
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:27.519
Dame, you got Colorado and Oregon. There's a whole bunch of games.

670
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.360
So we'll we'll pick one of those
for our special next week. But yeah,

671
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:34.480
we're gonna be doing our fab five
Friday picks on Thursday again this week

672
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:38.280
because I will be out again on
Friday. We can Steve your boss was

673
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:45.119
like, my boss doesn't know who
my boss is. That that's an issue.

674
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:51.559
Interesting conversation I heard this morning.
I was listening to the to the

675
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:57.760
College College Football in Choir. Dan
Wetzel, Pad forty and Ross Dellinger and

676
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:00.079
Dan Wetson went out and did a
bunch of re chearch which is unusual for

677
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:07.119
him. But but basically it was
going through because because remember with the transfer

678
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:12.159
portal and and all this stuff,
you know, all the a lot of

679
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.280
the coaches are saying, it's gonna
it's ruined, it's gonna ruin college football.

680
00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:17.320
The rich are gonna get richer,
the poor are gonna get poor.

681
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.880
It's gonna suck for everybody. Well, he went and did a study,

682
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.840
not a study, you know,
it's a research on where recruits are going,

683
00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:31.000
all right, And what he's found
is that the recruits are spreading out

684
00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:37.840
more than they were, partly because
of NIL. Right that Whereas whereas you

685
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:39.920
know, like you said, as
an example, he said, the third

686
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:45.920
only thirty four of the top forty
recruits from I think he said, rivals

687
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:52.679
are two four seven sports have committed
nine They've gone to nineteen different schools.

688
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:57.639
Whereas in the in the general year, where it's you know, one team

689
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:00.320
is getting you know, all all
the all the recruits. That of the

690
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:06.400
top forty, they generally spread around
to only twelve to fifteen teams. So

691
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:10.360
players, probably because of NIL,
are going all over the place. Now

692
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.360
Alabama's not getting them all, George
is not getting them all. And and

693
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:19.719
the recruiting rankings, the gap,
you know, the scores that they give,

694
00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:22.440
the gap is closing between the top, you know, and then you

695
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:28.280
get down to ten, fifteen,
twenty, that it's closing that and essentially

696
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:32.199
saying that there's more parody in recruiting
than there ever has been recruiting, because

697
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:36.480
you're including that in the recruiting right, and then when you throw in the

698
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:43.039
transfer portal, how an Alabama can't
stockpile, you know, to a tongue

699
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:46.320
of Iloa and Jalen Hurts and you
know all these quarterbacks, you know,

700
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:52.280
Bryce Young or whatever that now Alabama
essentially doesn't have a quarterback right now because

701
00:47:52.599 --> 00:47:55.719
because a quarterback doesn't play, he
leaves. Yeah, right, you know

702
00:47:57.039 --> 00:48:00.000
Jalen Hurts left. Uh, you
know, a quarterbacks leave when they So,

703
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:04.480
now Alabama doesn't have a quarterback.
Then two or three games this year,

704
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:07.639
they've already lost one and and you
know they lost one at home,

705
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:12.800
you know, Texas and m has
lost a game at home. So for

706
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:16.840
essentially what they were saying and what
I agree with, because look how quickly

707
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:21.159
Arizon has been able to rebuild.
Look at how Colorado is able to rebuild.

708
00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.639
You wouldn't have been able to do
that without the transfer portal, and

709
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:28.679
then without you know, being able
to go out and get recruits that otherwise

710
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.840
weren't available to you because they just
went to Alabama and Georgia High State in

711
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:37.400
Michigan. I'm curious, and good
stuff, I'm curious. Of the two

712
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:39.039
thousand people who transferred, I'm sure
there was more than that, right,

713
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:44.840
how many didn't end up anywhere?
Yeah, because there's not enough places to

714
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:49.719
go and have phil rosters and in
your mind you're thinking I'm good enough to

715
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:52.400
play here or there, but maybe
not. Well, how many of them

716
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:53.960
just ended up staying where they were
because you can enter the transfer portal,

717
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:57.519
you don't get picked up, you
know, stay if they you know,

718
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:02.760
would you want one of those guys? You know, you know, it

719
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:08.440
depends, Okay, he's good?
No. Well, if if I thought

720
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:15.639
the player thought he had an like
like if I'm at Darian Singer, No,

721
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:20.280
no, no, okay, if
he had entered the transfer portal,

722
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:22.039
tried to get you know, tried
to get a US here in a house

723
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.360
state away and none of them took
him, and he wanted to come back,

724
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.960
I'm saying, welcome back, okay, okay, right, because let

725
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.360
me give you somebody a little less
than that. Somebody like that, okay,

726
00:49:34.519 --> 00:49:37.719
okay, looked into the portal,
didn't know Tommy Lloyd, you know

727
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.239
whatever. And you know he came
back and I was fine with that now,

728
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:45.000
you know, uh, you know
last year when when he got into

729
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.159
transfer portal, to me, that
was all Tommy. I think I think

730
00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:52.199
he understood that, you know,
his days here we were pretty much over

731
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.039
that. They were bringing in guys
that you know, he was he need.

732
00:49:57.360 --> 00:49:59.960
So, you know, a lot
of a lot of that depends.

733
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:01.360
I'll tell you what, if Kurt
Chrissa had come back, I wouldn't have

734
00:50:01.360 --> 00:50:05.960
had a problem with that again either, you know, so it part of

735
00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:09.320
part of it depends if if I
feel like the guy wasn't just looking for

736
00:50:09.400 --> 00:50:12.760
a ladder or just want to get
the hell out because he didn't feel like

737
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:15.679
he was getting enough playing time,
then go. If you don't want to

738
00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:20.159
be here, then go. But
you know, if a guy like like

739
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:23.320
a Dorian Singer wanted to try and
get in at USC or AHU State or

740
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:28.119
whatever and then it just didn't work
out, I'd take him with open arms,

741
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:30.599
because when he's good and two.
I felt like he was trying to

742
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.480
better himself. I mean, like, look, I mean I you know,

743
00:50:34.519 --> 00:50:37.599
I supervise people, and if they
if I found out they were looking

744
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:39.199
for a job, but they were
looking for a job at a place that

745
00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:42.840
was better than where they were,
I had no problem with that. Did

746
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:49.239
that happen? No, because everybody
loved me. Welcome to the show.

747
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:55.599
That's not real, right, Yeah, I think the betterment argument is a

748
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:59.320
great point. Singer is going to
go play with Caleb Williams, and not

749
00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:02.360
to say Delora, like we talked
about earlier, isn't a great quarterback and

750
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:06.559
can't get you the ball, but
Caleb Williams is an all time talent,

751
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:13.000
and so to go play with him
a huge state. They're fifth best team

752
00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:19.440
exactly, and now he's gonna be
a draft pick. Yeah. So I

753
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:21.840
know. It's not to say he
wouldn't have been here, sure, sure,

754
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:23.880
but more visible. Yeah, you're
going you're going after the prettier girl

755
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:29.760
exactly to be kind of stupid with
that, but yeah, exactly. He

756
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:32.000
may have been a fifth round pick
if he stayed here, and now he

757
00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:36.639
could be a second third round pick. Yeah, good enough. I Yeah,

758
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:39.519
so you know I mean again,
it depends on the circumstance and everyone

759
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:44.760
probably probably a little bit different than
good enough. You said, okay,

760
00:51:44.840 --> 00:51:47.000
good take care of thanks. Right, And if you say okay, you

761
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:50.159
suck and I don't want you back, well then you know, go go

762
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:52.840
play a thousand state or whatever,
right, well where that come from,

763
00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:59.199
You'll play in Jackson State. I
know what I consider, you know,

764
00:51:59.360 --> 00:52:01.239
I know what you say. All
right, let's say here break, we'll

765
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:05.360
be back. We've got some breaking
news. We'll see how much drinking come

766
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:07.840
up with between now and the top
of the hours, and stick around.
