Eye on the ball, breaking news, 5 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:25.120 all right, starting off our breaking news with some recy's Senior Bowl news. 6 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:31.679 Jacob Cowing was helped off the field at Senior the Senior Bowl. He was 7 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.159 limping. We know that he was dealing with something towards the end of the 8 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.799 year, so I'm assuming it has to do with that. It was a 9 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.240 lower leg injury. It has to be. Hopefully he's all right. Yeah, 10 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.159 he had a couple of nice highlights before. Yeah, you know that 11 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:47.200 were we posted on social media. But yeah, no, it's yeah, 12 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.359 it looked like he you know, he went out, he got carted off 13 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.039 the field. Hopefully it's nothing serious. Yep. And then Jordan Morgan seemed 14 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.960 to have some good highlights as well as watching some of his but and Michael 15 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.320 Wiley's in that gap as well.

Aria McDonald is headed to the LA 19 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:22.640 Sparks former Arizona women's Wildcat that was a trade right trade trade traded to the 20 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.599 Sparks. Uh so she's going home, right, she's from that area. 21 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:34.319 Mm hmm. Moving into other Arizona women's basketball news. We mentioned it earlier, 22 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.599 but they are having walk on tryouts. I know they're down to about 23 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:46.239 seven players right now. So students out there, who this is your chance, 24 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.719 if if you wanted to partake and have a chance, this is right 25 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:52.120 here, this is tryout. They just need bodies, right, Yeah. 26 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.480 It's like practice has got to be hard. And you know uh yeah, 27 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.560 I mean didn't they take what in from the track team? Yeah? Then 28 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.560 she got hurt. Oh then she got hurt. Yeah. It's just it's 29 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.400 it's just a stream of bad stuff. But you know, I think she 30 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.800 explained that today too. She had people who didn't get hurt in the practice 31 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.120 and yeah, you know whatever. Yeah, well again, you know all 32 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.599 you know, these players go through, you know, a pre season of 33 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.360 conditioning and you know all these things, and you know, you get in 34 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.400 there and start playing hard, playing every day, you know you the likelihood 35 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:28.120 that you didn't get hurt can be pretty high. Moving into the men's side, 36 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.919 Keisha Johnson was named to the Karl Malone Award nominie list.

Okay. Talking about a 42 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.240 s U there and talks with the NCAA for a negotiated resolution on their two 43 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:09.319 and a half year old recruiting violation. Dennistot from CBS said to expect show 44 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.080 cause penalties for some of the former staff, including including the head coaching the 45 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.400 Raiders. Probably he was the one who did it, but it just means 46 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.479 he won't come back to college. Yeah, he's gonna be a he'll be 47 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.560 Okay, they'll be making one. That's the issue with the whole thing. 48 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.080 Get out of it. Go to run for the hill. It's the same 49 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.680 thing with Jim Harbau. Right, they got a bunch of stuff that's going 50 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.599 on over at Michigan. And you know, now what, he doesn't even 51 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.800 have to talk to him anymore if they want to come and talk to him 52 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.120 about that. How do you feel if you're esp a the TV shows when 53 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.479 Hurt is talking and I guess he kind of made himself look a little fluffy 54 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:51.360 with the with the rock purty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you 55 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.520 were you were in school when he was in school. I'm sure. Yeah. 56 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.120 I had had a few class with Brock and played baseball at his brother. 57 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.039 I mean, it's the amount of the lack of recruitment from schools here 58 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.639 before him was Yeah, what Herb said was that was just right that he 59 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.599 recruited, but he really didn't and blah blah blah. Yeah, oh you 60 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.039 know her her doesn't need to. He's just gonna do what he does. 61 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.959 I know, you guys had a tennis on was it yesterday day before one 62 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.519 of those you're asking us to remember, Yeah, yeah, sorry, yeah, 63 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.199 what's your name exactly? Arizona Tennis. They advanced to I don't know 64 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.120 if you guys covered this, but they advanced to the i T a National 65 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.519 indoor championships for the first time in school history. I think he mentioned then 66 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.319 that, yeah, so big time. Their ranks number ten right now in 67 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.560 the country. So for anybody out there that doesn't know where the tickets for 68 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.399 them are, free, go go go watch them there. You got a 69 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.160 good team, got got a lot of players coming back from last year. 70 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.759 So it sounds like the matches are fun too. They are yet the very 71 00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.199 spirited energy. They have double these you go doubles first and then certain as 72 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.279 will play singles. But yeah, exciting that. I think they have the 73 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.160 number six recruiting class as well for twenty twenty four. So yeah, a 74 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:11.759 lot of energy for them, good energy, okay. And then moving into 75 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.800 NFL, Ryan Grubb is in talks with Seattle for the offensive coordinator spot. 76 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.959 As we just mentioned, a lot of guys are going to be looking at 77 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.560 the NFL when they get the chance, and this is could be another. 78 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:28.360 And the deal with Grub is that he was the he was the offensive coordinator 79 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.040 under Killendbor at Washington went with debor Well like two weeks ago, yeah, 80 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.959 three weeks, two weeks ago to be the offensive coordinator at Alabama. And 81 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.360 now there's already worded that he may leave Alabama and go back to Seattle and 82 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.439 coach in the NFL. Did you are you going to have Bonix on your 83 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.519 thing? No? No, no, So just real quick, and this 84 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.759 is what I talk about with basketball, But Bonnicks, I thought the back 85 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.680 of a quarterback. College quarterback did well, had his team doing very well. 86 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.160 I think he's a very good one. So he goes up to college, 87 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.519 the troyouts this weekend on whatever the senior at so, I guess he 88 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.839 had a bad day yesterday, yesterday. Yeah. So so just you could 89 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.199 have a great four years or two years or whatever and people think, oh, 90 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.600 he's gonna make a lot of money, and he probably still will. 91 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.279 But then you have a bad day there you kind of get shown who you 92 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.000 are. It's like here, or it's like when you go to the combine 93 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.839 and all of a sudden you're Chris Henry exactly and you're off. You're off 94 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.519 the charts physically to my point. To my point is you see kids and 95 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.759 kids at the podium reading their stat lines. Oh, I scored twenty nine, 96 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.279 I scored thirty, blah blah blah against whomever. It means nothing, 97 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.120 Like we were saying, if you can play you can play. It doesn't 98 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:39.079 matter how many points you score, Right, it's if you can, if 99 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.519 you're good enough. If Nixon is good enough, kiss what he'll play. 100 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.800 I mean, how many how many guys have get gotten picked in various drafts 101 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.319 over just what they look like when they walk in the door. Right, 102 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.959 We're talking yesterday lunch my buddies, we were talking about Elijah rushing and and 103 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.040 and one of the guys said, look, I saw him play at some 104 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.360 point. He didn't look like all that to me. And I said, 105 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.560 well, all he has to look like is that he can play that. 106 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:12.720 He's got the physical characteristics of an edge rusher, long arms, big feet, 107 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.240 big tall guy, can get his hands up. You can throw people 108 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.079 around. When you're playing in high school, there isn't anybody who can challenge 109 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.439 you. Right, you're gonna throw guys around. You can look great, 110 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.920 but then you get to play with guys who are just like you, and 111 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.199 how good are you? So coaches tend to look at the guy and say, 112 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.759 Okay, he's got all the physical attributes that I want, Like a 113 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:38.160 quarterback who's six foot three and might not be any good versus the quarterback like 114 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.800 no Fafit who's five nine, five ten and might be really good. They 115 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.800 look at your physical attributes, and if you've got the physical attributes, they're 116 00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:49.360 going to give you a try party. He's not average. Even today, 117 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.879 they're still criticizing him, criticizing me. All you want, I got my 118 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.120 team into the super Bowl in this and I got a lot of money in 119 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.480 my pocket. Yeah, and he may win a super Bowl, you know, 120 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.360 against arguably one of the top quarterbacks ever, you know, in the 121 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.920 NFL, and people are gonna say, we he's still not that good. 122 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.319 Well, yes, he is there there for a reason. He's there for 123 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.160 no people just like DeAndre, including your Russian example, he's a guy who 124 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.360 really kind of just moved lollygagged because he could. Yeah, and he continues 125 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.480 to law the gag because that's who he is. Right when you have the 126 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.560 guys, the opposite guys that who were at the TJ. McConnell, they 127 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.319 have no choice, right t J. McConnell, who goes in there, 128 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.000 he doesn't have the physical attributes, but works his ass off and get and 129 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.399 stays in the NBA for ten years. Hi, you're on the air and 130 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.120 I on the ball. Ah, Right, this is Brian Gettle calling in 131 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.600 for Oh hey Brian, Hey Brian, Hey, you're about seven eight minutes 132 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.919 too early, is it? Okay? I wasn't sure how early you want 133 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.960 to be a dial in? Okay? No, dial in at eighteen after 134 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.399 the hour eighteen, yes, right at eighteen, and we'll get you after 135 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.919 the break, okay, thanks Brian. Yeah, but we need to be 136 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.360 door, Brian. We need to be able to screen our calls. We 137 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.480 know that doesn't get on there. It's alcoholic. But those are examples that 138 00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.759 happened all the time, right, even Brock, his younger brother, who 139 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.120 was a year younger than me. A lot of people thought he was gonna 140 00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.399 be better than Brock just because you know, he's bigger, mare athetic, 141 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.879 he's but he's now he was. He committed to San Jose State. Actually 142 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:28.039 now with Brendan leaving, he's going to Nevada now. Yeah, so yeah, 143 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.639 I mean a lot of people looked at his physical attribute arm and yeah, 144 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.679 I don't get it because you want a quarterback, quarterback specifically to do 145 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.000 the job. Well. Again, it's that whole conversation about game managers, 146 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:45.159 right, people say, well, he's a game manager if not right, 147 00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.159 as if it's a cutdown, right, it's a criticism. Well, he's 148 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.200 a game manager. Well, if he's managing the game and they're winning the 149 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.200 games he's managing, then why wouldn't you want a game manager? No, 150 00:09:54.279 --> 00:10:00.679 exactly want to win, you know, is Lamar Jackson's not game manager. 151 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.440 And look where he's been nowhere, nowhere. But he can't you know, 152 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.639 he can't get to a super Bowl. Well, it was like to I 153 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.879 joke with you all the time with Richron when you have the quarterbacks, I 154 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:11.799 like to store quarterbacks and the kid familiash. You could throw it a mile, 155 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.960 yeah, but there's no receivers on then a mile there's there's the receiver 156 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.399 fifteen miles of fifteen yards and he can't hit it. Yeah, yeah he 157 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.000 could. He could throw a toll Maine, but that's not where your receiver 158 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:28.879 is standing. Right. And then and then he takes bj Danker and goes 159 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.159 goes to a bowl game with him. Just give me a winner, Just 160 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.039 give me a win, winners win, right exactly exactly what else you go? 161 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.240 This was interesting. Mark Andrews actually help help the lady with the medical 162 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.879 emergency on a fight from Baltimore to Phoenix, he's a Ravens player, right, 163 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:48.519 yep, the tight end yet but what what did what was the situation 164 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.679 to say what her medical emergency was. I don't remember what the emergency was, 165 00:10:52.720 --> 00:11:01.000 but he suggested that they check her her uh sugar levels because I believe 166 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.799 that he actually has experienced with diabeta. Yeah, okay, so he uh 167 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:07.120 he gave a hand there, and I thought it was interesting. The fight 168 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.519 was to Phoenix, so yeah, okay, sorry, well that was that 169 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.080 was that one? Okay, okay, you saw that Quinn the Quinn got 170 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.559 the job at the Commanders. Dan Quinn. Oh yeah, Dan Quinn, 171 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.799 the Cowboys defensive coordinator. I was mentioning that next okay, sorry, moving 172 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.440 moving in the division. So that's interesting. Yeah, but that also means 173 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.440 that Bill Belichick will not be coaching in the NFL this year for the first 174 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.120 time in like one hundred and twenty years. Or yeah, what do you 175 00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.559 guys, what do you guys think? I haven't heard any There is very 176 00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:41.960 If you're an organization that wants to do things your way, right, and 177 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.600 you're the owner or the GM and you say we do the things this way, 178 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.440 I don't know that you'd want to bring in a guy who says, 179 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.840 well, we're going to do them my way. Yeah, why would you 180 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.279 do that unless you agree with the way he does that? Yeah, But 181 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.759 you know it's like, you know, I mean, we were having fun 182 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:03.480 with the conversation about what do you you ask Bill belichicking a job interview? 183 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.600 Right? You know, So, I guess I'm not surprised. Yeah, 184 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:13.879 I guess most franchises now kind of when it comes to the front office, 185 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.919 they let the front office. It's very rare now that that the head coaches 186 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.440 kind of in there. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know. Shot. 187 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.240 So I got a text us now from a friend and the listener party 188 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.759 does not have a lot of money in his pocket. Refresh. He's the 189 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.000 lowest starting quarterback salary rookie contract. Still he's got a lot of money. 190 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.600 He will though. He's got a lot of money more than me. Well 191 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.440 he just got you see, he just got an endorsement deal with Toyota to 192 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.480 Yoda. Yeah, Toyota, Yeah, Toyota deal. So give me that. 193 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.799 That's that's a lot of money. Yeah. And I mean whenever this 194 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.600 is up, I mean he's gonna get it. I have to get some 195 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.960 money. Yeah, they're gonna have to now we're gonna have to go. 196 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.600 So how old are we? How old old? Old? And how much 197 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.879 is money? Yeah? How much is a lot of money? Yeah, 198 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:01.960 exactly speaking of a lot of money. Don't know if you saw, but 199 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:11.919 the Baltimore Orioles got sold, got got valued at one point seventy five billion 200 00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:18.440 dollars and the buyer group that is about to buy them includes cal Ripke. 201 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.399 Okay, yeah, and that's that's doesn't seem like a whole lot of money 202 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:26.440 because there don't the Dodgers like five billions or denvers five billion. The Orioles 203 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.840 aren't even in the ballpark. Yeah, no, coun intended, I get 204 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.440 it, I get them. That doesn't seem like that's not even half that's 205 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.600 a lot of money, which was the one. But what if the Orioles, 206 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.480 I mean, the Orioles are kind of I'm surprised they're worth a billion 207 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:45.120 seven and that that's probably just that's probably because the playoff last year. Yeah. 208 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:48.240 Yeah, so speaking from a Dodger, just just the fact that the 209 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:52.279 you know, I mean, any any you know, major league franchise like 210 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.320 that is going to be in the billions. I mean, maybe not the 211 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.679 Oakland a's but you know most of them. Denver went for five I think 212 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.360 last yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a that's it's a lot 213 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:09.879 of well I have I have a point zero zero zero zero percent. All 214 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.200 right, Okay, we're out of time.

So I think 292 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:51.160 you're based in Wisconsin, but are you in town now? Because they had 293 00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:55.759 a press conference exactly. He Actually, I had just finished playing the course 294 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:59.519 literally fifteen minutes ago, so it was fun to get a sneak peak of 295 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.839 a turn routing here at La Polova. How did it feel, Oh, 296 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:10.680 it's beautiful. It's just absolutely stunning.

Now we're just a little over a month away. 301 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.200 So for those of us who are here and play golf and we've been playing 302 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:36.680 this course for years, which which two nines are going to be part of 303 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.119 the tournament. So that's what's really exciting about it. Yeah, and for 304 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:42.799 the listeners who may not be familiar, there are three to nine here at 305 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:47.279 La Paloma, and for the tournament, they're actually going to pull from all 306 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:51.559 three.

That'll be eighteenth Pole, which is 309 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:07.200 just going to be a really majestic finishing hole. But it's really creative how 310 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:14.039 they did it. It's going to be I think, really an impressive It's 311 00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:18.720 just such an impressive layout and I think the pros will really like it a 312 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.039 good Well. I know he's from Wisconsin, so I'm sure you already bought 313 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.599 a house given the weather. Yeah, this is what it's like. You 314 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.640 know, you say that, but I remember last year the pro am day 315 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.400 on Wednesday, we had about four inches of snow and I was thinking to 316 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.440 myself, this is what I tried to get away from. Well you should 317 00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.920 have seen it. I went back when we had the match play and it 318 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.880 snowed on the day of a match playing. You know, Ricky Fowler and 319 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.759 all those guys out there in the parking lot and having a snowball fight. 320 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:56.519 So it's happened before the snowman by the driving range. Yeah. So so 321 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:03.079 just tell us a little bit about you know, what does colon guard and 322 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.279 exact sciences? You know, what's the benefit of being a sponsor of an 323 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.440 event like this? Why do you do it? Well, I mean really, 324 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.440 it began a few reasons. Number one, Jerry Kelly, our ambassador, 325 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:22.359 joined the Champions Tour in twenty seventeen when he turned fifty. He has 326 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:26.839 a very close personal relationship with our CEO, Kevin Conroy, and Jerry also 327 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.119 had a very dear friend, Raba and Rna who was an NCAA Hockey Championship 328 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:36.440 champion at the University of Wisconsin who was diagnosed with corrective cancer and died. 329 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.079 But actually before he was fifty, played in the pro am in this event 330 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:45.759 just four years ago, and so Jerry is very passionate, so he started 331 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.599 wearing the colguard hat that first year, and then as we were looking to 332 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.240 really grow that relationship with the tour, there was an opportunity here where this 333 00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.519 event was looking for a title sponsor. There is, as you both know, 334 00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:03.400 amazing tradition of professional golf here in Tucson, and the Conquistadors are an 335 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:08.839 absolutely incredible partner and it's just been a fantastic fit to be able to spread 336 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:15.839 awareness of color equal cancer and the importance of getting screen. So you how 337 00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.519 do you how do you use that? In what way does does a colon 338 00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:22.880 guard slash you know, exact sciences you know, you thro you know, 339 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.720 aside from obviously you know, the week of the you know, the tournament 340 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:29.799 and all that comes with it, but throughout the year, but what do 341 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:33.920 you do with that? So it's a great question, and we're really trying 342 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.680 to get more involved in the community. And one example is something that we 343 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:41.119 announced today here at media day is we want to address, uh, you 344 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.880 know, as much as we can to help this community in Tucson, and 345 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:51.079 we are partnering with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona this year and anybody 346 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:56.799 who donates a canned good or five dollars can get in on Saturday, the 347 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:03.240 second round on March ninth, at no charge. We'll be announcing drop off 348 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.880 sites around the community here in the coming days, but if you go to 349 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.960 could guard classic dot com those will all be listed. Otherwise, you can 350 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:15.039 show up on that Saturday, bring you a can of suit but can you 351 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.680 know any kind of non perishable food item or five dollars and you can get 352 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.799 in for free. So let me ask you. You've been around for a 353 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.640 long time now, I think five years the number you said, Brian, 354 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.480 do you know how much of an impact you've had? And let me give 355 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.799 you an example, maybe a bad example, but you have a number of 356 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:37.319 people our age kind of going through the gates. Probably you are encouraging us 357 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.640 to take the tests. Maybe letters or messages to you guys said hey, 358 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.680 I'm glad you let me know this, or I did it at the event 359 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.759 and this is what came of it. Yeah. Well, I mean I'll 360 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.640 give you a great example. Scott Cardwell, a gentleman who lives here in 361 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:57.240 Tucson, who was out here today for media Day, had just turned fifty 362 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:00.799 a few years ago, had come out to Colguard Classic the year prior and 363 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.759 it was the first time he had heard about col of Guard And then, 364 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:08.359 you know, he turned fifty a few months later and his doctor asked him 365 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:14.000 about getting screened and he didn't want to do a colonoscopy, so instead he 366 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:18.400 did a coal of Guard and it helped detect in early stage cancer. And 367 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.839 we've built a great relationship with Scott and his story is so important. He 368 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:27.480 had no symptoms and that's why it is so important for people to know. 369 00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.559 And the screening age now is forty five, So if you're forty five years 370 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.680 or older, and you should talk to your healthcare provider and make sure you 371 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:42.119 get screened because there are options that you can do that can fit within your 372 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:47.599 lifestyle and after a talk with your doctor, figure out what's appropriate for you. 373 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.480 Hey, have you seen sort of an impact, you know with it 374 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:55.720 among the golfers? You know? Are you finding out that golfers who have 375 00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:00.039 become aware of this are are doing this as well, So something that's evolved. 376 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.319 This will be the fourth year we've done this and it's really unique on 377 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.279 the Champions Tour and it's amazing how much the pros have embraced. It is 378 00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:11.880 every pro in the field and for the fans to come out, we'll see 379 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.839 it plays in honor of a different Polling cancer patient survivor or in memory of 380 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:22.240 somebody who has passed, and they've really embraced it, and in many cases 381 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.880 now they get to meet the honoree that they play for. We have more 382 00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.240 than two hundred and thirty patient survivors and loved ones planning to come out this 383 00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:37.559 year from more than twenty eight states. It's really created a movement among the 384 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:42.160 correct with cancer community as a place for people to be together to celebrate survivorship 385 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.440 and an extraordinary how much this community and the PGA tour have embraced it. 386 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.440 Well. The funny thing about it, and it's funny for us because we're 387 00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.400 of that age. We are of that age where the old men's radio show 388 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:59.160 and we have a lot of no I'm usually not serious serious the old that 389 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:00.960 radio show, and we have a lot of old men listening to us. 390 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:06.279 I mean, this is this hits a wheelhouse man. Yeah. And what 391 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:07.599 I would just say is, you know, a lot of this is something 392 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.720 There's no doubt this is a topic. A lot of people don't want to 393 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.599 talk about, right, and it's it's something that a lot of people, 394 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.160 if you know, if they don't have symptoms, they don't see the need 395 00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.680 to do it. But you know, this has become deeply personal for me. 396 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.160 I've gotten to know many patients and survivors through this work now the last 397 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:32.319 seven years and have sadly had to say goodbye to some of them. And 398 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.640 you know, if it's something that whether it's your pride or you're fearful, 399 00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.960 think about somebody else in your life and don't do it for you. Think 400 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.680 about your your spouse, your son, your daughter, your mom, your 401 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:51.079 dad, and get screened for them. And the peace of mind that provides 402 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:56.319 if it comes out all clear, is worth it for sure in the long 403 00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.160 run. Okay, So well, let's talk a little bit about the golf 404 00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.200 itself. You may you know the venue has changed. You're you're at La 405 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.960 Paloma, which you know has been around for a while, and you know, 406 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.319 like Tucson, Nashville just one of those courses that kind of everybody around 407 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:12.160 here or if you've golfed at all, is familiar with. You know, 408 00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:15.920 what can we expect to see out there? Is there any changes to the 409 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.200 golf course that we need to know about. And I guess my question is 410 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.960 going to be, how are fans going to walk this golf course expect I 411 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.839 mean it is. It could not be more different than you know, our 412 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.759 old home at Omni Tusun National. But it's it's exciting. I mean, 413 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:36.400 this is true desert golf. But to your point, no doubt about it. 414 00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:38.680 It does present some challenges from a fan perspective in terms of walking the 415 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:45.319 course, but we really have and this is a testament to the Tucson Conquistadors 416 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:51.000 and the team here at La Paloma, we have great plans to really concentrate 417 00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:56.079 the majority of the fans between old fifteen through eighteen. On number fifteen, 418 00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:00.920 for example, we'll have an area known as Survivor Central where all coloroctal cancer 419 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.759 patient survivors and loved ones will have an area where they can all watch together. 420 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:10.680 And then there's going to be big buildouts on sixteen, seventeen eighteen. 421 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.839 So for the fans that you know, recognize that it's going to be maybe 422 00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.359 intimidating to walk the full course. Uh, there's going to be some great 423 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.119 viewing areas on the on the signature holds here as on the finishing moles here, 424 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.960 you know, and we're better to be than on the golf course there, 425 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:32.519 right, absolutely right, And okay, this is me. The snakes 426 00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:36.119 aren't out yet, are they. I didn't see any today, and if 427 00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:38.960 I had, I might have I might have stepped away from working on the 428 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:44.640 tournament. It's just you know, local knowledge, that's all. That's all 429 00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:48.839 I know. So so you know, you're a little over a month away 430 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.079 from the from the tournament. Uh, you know events that are coming up 431 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.000 that people should pay attention to that they can participate in. What kinds of 432 00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:57.599 things are we going to be seeing, you know, headed into the tournament. 433 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:00.599 Well, tonight, fans who are going to be at the University of 434 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.119 Arizona basketball game, be on the lookout. During one of the timeouts, 435 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:10.359 there will be a putting competition where you can put across the floor into what 436 00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:14.559 looks kind of like a cool guard box with a little hole at the bottom. 437 00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:18.160 So we'll be there to help promote the tournament, which we're really excited 438 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.039 about. And it's great to see the university here really got on board with 439 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:25.519 what we're doing. And then, you know what I would really say, 440 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:27.200 in the next few weeks you know, whether you're a golf fan or not, 441 00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.799 it's really exciting that we've partnered with the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona 442 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.720 here and would love to see the community rally around and really address you know, 443 00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:42.720 food insecurity for those who who struggle to put food on the table every 444 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:48.519 night. And it would be awesome to see this community really rally around this 445 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:51.680 cause over the next four or five weeks. Yeah, no, and you'll 446 00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:56.279 see the crowds have always been good, Yeah, very consistent and it's a 447 00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.039 great time, a great time to walk the course or see golf. Well, 448 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:03.759 that's great, and yeah, we're really excited to be able to do 449 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:07.079 more in the community and we really want to, you know, now that 450 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.319 we've been here six seven years, you know, find ways to to what 451 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.480 you had talked you know, asked me about earlier, to be more embedded 452 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:21.240 in the community year round and really have our presence felt here because this city 453 00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:23.359 has really embraced us and we we want to return the favor. And that 454 00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.759 Saturday is going to be nice to bring food to the thing. But you 455 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.599 know, talk about the band too, because that's not going to be on 456 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:32.759 site. That's going to be a releet a park.

Well, before we let you go, Steve and I just have 464 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:04.559 one request for next year if you can, if you can make the media 465 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.119 Day golf event a little earlier in the day so we can go play before 466 00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.480 the show. That's it, all right, all right, I'll talk to 467 00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.240 my people. I'll see what I can do. Well, and well, 468 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.319 maybe a second request, even though we like to see it, could you 469 00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:21.319 not bring the snow this time? Exactly? I don't see how that was 470 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.160 our fault. I've been promised that now that we're going to be in the 471 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:29.480 March, that it's going to be seventy five and sunny all three days this 472 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:31.559 year. Well, when the weather goes bad here, we always find somebody 473 00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:36.920 to blame it on, and it's usually somebody from outside of fair enough people, 474 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:39.680 you know, Wisconsin people in this town. They're not very you know, 475 00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:45.599 well, they're not fan favorites giving the basketball situation exactly. Thank you, 476 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:46.680 Brian, Brian, thanks a whole bunch, man, appreciate it. 477 00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:49.759 Oh, it was a pleasure. Great to talk to youle. Thank you 478 00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.759 so much for having me on. Thank you, bru Brian from Color Guard, 479 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.200 Classic exec Sense. Hey, you know it's fun. Okay. The 480 00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:59.240 tip we we failed to mention. The tournament is March eighth, eight to 481 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:04.400 ten, uh, Friday, Saturday Sunday, a little later because it's been 482 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.079 in February, right, right, so it's a little later in the year. 483 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:12.079 So two point two million dollar per three hundred and thirty thousand dollars to 484 00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.599 the winner. Seven eight players and it's no cut. So all seven gay 485 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:17.720 players play all three. Yeah, and they usually have some you know guys 486 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.359 that we we recognize, oh yeah, guys from from our day. Right. 487 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.319 But uh, you know, I was always a good field for the 488 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:29.279 tournament. I think probably would be even better now in March, where you 489 00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:32.039 know, further into the season. So all right, let's take our break. 490 00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:35.720 We're gonna come back.

Yeah, I thought that was good. Look, I'm 542 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.639 you know, growing up here. You know, I remember the first time 543 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:34.599 I ever went to a went back when with the Tucson Open. You know, 544 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:37.440 I went with my dad. I was a kid. Dean Martin was 545 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:44.800 the celebrity host of that sixties sixties probably late sixties. You know. One 546 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:50.440 time I went with guy to two old guys who were on my paper route 547 00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:52.719 and they took me to the tournament with them. It was here Johnny Miller 548 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:58.800 wanted, so you know, if you're from here, you've been paying attention 549 00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:02.239 or seeing you know, the professional golf here, uh, you know, 550 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:06.599 forever, and it's just it's just been a great part of what, you 551 00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:07.760 know, what we do. So okay, so let me ask you, 552 00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.559 just because it popped in my head. Uh, what is Tucson known for? 553 00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:17.039 What are you a native from? Sports? An? Okay, Weather 554 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:22.360 number one, We number one. We'll got a call. Okay, let's 555 00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:23.400 take this call. Hi, you're on the air and I on the ball. 556 00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:28.079 Hey, guys, what's up is this? Hey Vick, what's going 557 00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:30.840 on? Vig? Hey? I just wanted to kind of change courses and 558 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:37.639 talk about the DA thing with with Maya. Okay, Okay, obviously we 559 00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:39.960 you know, we don't know the insights or whatever, and we don't know 560 00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:45.000 Maya. But you know what, guys, I know my kids played for 561 00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:50.239 good coaches and bad coaches. They once played for a guy, coach Price 562 00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:54.679 is His son was Dennis Price out of Crenshaw and this guy was an f 563 00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:01.400 bombing Randy's death, and and at the time my kids were like, I 564 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:07.039 don't want to come back to this guy. But fast forward, they're thirty 565 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.400 years old now and that coach is one of the most important people in their 566 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:19.119 lives and how toxic could have d have been. I mean, did Steve 567 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:22.480 beat him? Did the f mom? Did she run him to dead? 568 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:27.920 What? What is toxic? J Steve? You know, and that and 569 00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:31.000 that that's in the eye of the beholder, right because when you talk like 570 00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:35.519 you know, I interviewed Steve Alford a long time ago when he when he 571 00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.079 had just finished in Indiana, because when Bobby Knight was coming to play here, 572 00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:43.599 and you know, he talked about how hard it was to play for 573 00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:46.079 Bobby Knight, but yet how much he loved Bobby Knight, you know. 574 00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:50.360 And when you think of toxic guys, you know, you think of a 575 00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:52.280 guy like Bobby Knight, who is just god, you know. But still 576 00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:55.159 you talk to a lot of his players, maybe not all of them, 577 00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:58.519 but a lot of them, and they, as you say, you know 578 00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:00.400 your experience, you know, they love the guy because they feel like, 579 00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:06.679 Okay, I know it was hard, but I learned a lot and everything 580 00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:08.760 that happened to me there was meaningful to me. Well, I think it's 581 00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:12.719 like being a parent, like you said, Victim, when when I'm not 582 00:40:12.800 --> 00:40:15.199 this guy, but when you have a tough dad, he's tough on you. 583 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:16.320 He's on top of you and you say, God, I hate this 584 00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.440 man. I hate this man. But as you get older, you respect 585 00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.719 you and you appreciate what he did for you. So it's hard to go 586 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:30.039 and you've got He came back started the year knowing the team was shorthanded. 587 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:35.639 So she not only met I mean, did she not have someone in her 588 00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:40.440 life to say, hey, tough this out this year. Yeah, whether 589 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:44.239 it's tough or not, tough en out and then do what you're gonna do 590 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.559 after the field, Because I know that was what if my kids had come 591 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.400 from when they were in Texas and said, hey, Ad I'm quitting. 592 00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:54.559 I'm like, all, hell no, No, You're going to tough this 593 00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:58.800 out. At the end of the year. You make a decision, you're 594 00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:01.719 making a distance on your Yeah, let me change the gears on you. 595 00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:06.599 So Friday, Friday, mister VIC, mister happy, unhappy, happy big. 596 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:09.519 He was on the LEDs Thursday, you know how to get him off 597 00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:14.760 that Friday Friday comes, Oh, I'm gonna be new guy.

Is that true, Vic? Yeah, but it was 601 00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:30.800 just because I was so happy. I was running around the house whooping and 602 00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:36.320 hollering. I think my away was going to kick out. I was yelling 603 00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:38.239 loud. How are you? How are you as a fan as far as 604 00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:40.840 that goes?

But I mean, I know 638 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:09.840 i'm but I'm I know, I'm more level headed than most of the people 639 00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:14.679 around me. They lose their mind football, Yeah, they lose their mind. 640 00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:17.719 How because how could you not be because of all the torture you guys 641 00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.880 have been through. We've been through a lot of torch, so you would 642 00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:27.800 expect it to be torturous. It is torturous, and you still I've told 643 00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.199 you. I mean, I feel like the sun shines a little better on 644 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.480 the day after a win, and it's a little gloomier on the day after 645 00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:36.800 loss. But not you know, I'm not getting ready to jump off a 646 00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:39.519 cliff or anything like that, like I know some other people are. We're 647 00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:45.039 lucky that there's one story houses in Tucson, a lot of them, you 648 00:44:45.079 --> 00:44:49.760 know. But and and in fact, I tend to find myself talking to 649 00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.239 a lot of people off the ledge, you know, and just think, 650 00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:54.960 relax, it'll be fine. Next week. And this last season was easy 651 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.840 because they were They just kept winning, you know, and even even the 652 00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:02.840 game that they lost, now, you know, even the Mississippi State game, 653 00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:07.760 right, I come out of that game thinking five turnovers and you look 654 00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:09.400 and you and you got it overtime. That was actually pretty good. Just 655 00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.800 don't do those don't just don't do that again. The USC game, you 656 00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:15.400 thought, yes, they went up seventeen, nothing, you were like, 657 00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:17.960 dang, you know, they should have won the game. And then they 658 00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:22.360 did. We still thought they took you USC to the mat. And then 659 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:24.239 you know, the Washington game. You know, again, they were in 660 00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:28.840 it till the very end. So there wasn't a game that you thought, 661 00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.079 this is awful. Not one game last year did you go to the end 662 00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:36.440 of the game and go, man, that really sucked. So very true, 663 00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:38.280 very true, And so it was it was easy to be an Arizona 664 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:40.880 football fane. This may be a dumb question. Okay, so you did 665 00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:44.440 well this year. You have a lot of the guys back, a lot 666 00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:49.199 of them are left, obviously, But does the taste that you guys have 667 00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:53.760 give you a little a sense of of not entitlement, but but now say, 668 00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:58.760 hey, we're we're pretty good. We shouldn't lose more next year. 669 00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:06.760 Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying. And this is this is a 670 00:46:06.760 --> 00:46:10.280 more nerve racking season coming up because you're good last season, because because you've 671 00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:16.280 got some expectations and you think Arizona never meets expectations in a situation like this. 672 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:21.239 So I mean, you know, will I as a fan be nervous 673 00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:24.119 for the New Mexico and any of you games? No, But then you 674 00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:28.239 got to go to Kansas State, right, and it's like, God, 675 00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:32.159 if they lose to Kansas State now, which they probably should because Tannas State 676 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:36.039 is really good, and you're on the road, you go, God, 677 00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.360 you know if they if they lose to Kansas State and then they got Utah, 678 00:46:38.559 --> 00:46:42.519 you know at Utah after that, you go, God, they could 679 00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:46.119 be two and two and zero and one in the league when you thought, 680 00:46:46.239 --> 00:46:50.400 you know, this is a ten win season getting ready to happen, and 681 00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:54.639 so you're nervous about that as a fan. You know that, God, 682 00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:58.760 you really hope they beat Kansas State so that they feel good about themselves going 683 00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:00.559 to Utah, which is gonna be very hard game to win. Cam Rising 684 00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:05.440 is going to be back and Utah is probably gonna be favored to win the 685 00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:08.679 league now because you know, whereas Arizona might have been favored had Jed Fish 686 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:13.000 not left and some other players. Now you're thinking Utah is going to be 687 00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:16.119 the favorite and you're gonna go you don't even get a chance to break into 688 00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:19.639 the Big twelve. All of a sudden, you're playing likely, you know, 689 00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.480 possibly the conference champion in the first game at their place, and you're 690 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:28.119 going where Arizona. Arizona never wins that game. Yeah, well, you'll 691 00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:31.239 be fine. I'd say optimism is probably the biggest part of it. You 692 00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:36.039 have to be optimistic, right. Optimism is really hard for an Arizona football 693 00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:39.320 fan. It's very hard. It's it's nerve racking for an Arizona football fan 694 00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:43.320 because when you're used to losing and you lose, it's like, okay, 695 00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:45.599 we were supposed to lose. But when you start winning and then you lose, 696 00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:49.880 you go, what the hell? Yeah, I'd say Arizona fans, 697 00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:59.000 be optimistic, but be realistic, realistic the wisdom on this kids. For 698 00:47:59.119 --> 00:48:01.920 me, I'm putting, if it sleeking out, if Arizona comes out gets 699 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.199 eight wins, okay, that's a good that's you can build off that. 700 00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:08.679 Bran Brennan can build off that. But see, yeah, Arizona fan wants 701 00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:14.800 yeah exactly because they had ten wins this last season. They want ten exactly. 702 00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:17.039 They have to realize that this this conference. In fact, I think 703 00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:23.440 they expect yeah wins. They don't expect you to that's there. And that's 704 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:28.159 the scary part about being an Arizona fan is that anytime this has come up, 705 00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:30.960 it's gone. It's headed in the wrong direction. The very next season, 706 00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:36.280 well that's what we're used to. How much grief would Brennan receive if 707 00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:39.599 it doesn't go well early in this town and it's not even a football town, 708 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:45.960 right, It's going to depend It's going to depend on how his guys 709 00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:52.320 play. If a Feita and and and and McMillan aren't very good next year 710 00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.159 for whatever reason, which I don't know why, they wouldn't be right, 711 00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:59.400 But if all of a sudden, you feel like like we felt when Kevin 712 00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:05.480 Sumlan and and and no no Mazzoni, you know, put the brakes on 713 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.599 on clout tape. Okay, you're gonna think, okay, wait a minute, 714 00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:14.000 what's Brent Brandan doing that? Forfeita and Team AC aren't as good as 715 00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:15.800 they were last year. That's what people are gonna be looking for. But 716 00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:19.800 yet, if those guys go off and continue to do, you know, 717 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.239 take a next step of what they did this year, people will be fine 718 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:25.599 with it. And if they lose some games but look good doing it, 719 00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:28.880 it's gonna be like, Okay, you know, they lost some other guys 720 00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:30.280 and it's hard, it's a different league. YadA, yeada, YadA. 721 00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.440 If they go six and six, fans, we're not gonna be have to 722 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:36.840 Well that would be kind of difficult. Yeah, that would be kind of 723 00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:40.400 difficult because you know, the schedule came out on Tuesday Wednesday and everybody's talking, 724 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:43.880 oh, this is not that tough of a schedule. Well you just 725 00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:47.360 wait, you just exactly what do you know about those schools right outside of 726 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.840 the rip of who they are? This isn't like going to cal or going 727 00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:55.639 to Stanford. When you go on the road in the Big Twelve. They 728 00:49:55.800 --> 00:50:00.800 they love their football and basketball. So for both foot both of those sports, 729 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.000 going on the road is not going to be easy. Sure, sure, 730 00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:06.199 I think I'm on the surface. You think, okay, they can 731 00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:08.039 win that one and win that one. But you don't know and the right 732 00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:14.440 weather too, going to say you go and just state or something and it's 733 00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.000 a little snowy. We haven't, I mean, Arizona hasn't dealt with that 734 00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:22.000 before, like realistic, it's not up yet. But what do you think 735 00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:27.559 the over under number will be for air Zona? Seven seven seven and a 736 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.440 half seven seven, seven and seven and a half. I would go over. 737 00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:32.239 I would go over. I would go over on seven, you go 738 00:50:32.280 --> 00:50:35.519 over seven and a half. Yeah, if it's over eight and a half, 739 00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:37.119 yeah, yeah, I wouldn't do that. Yeah, I was likeaing. 740 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.320 They've got odds to win the national championship? What is it? Totally 741 00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:45.599 five thousand two and for the first time, right Aero Wilson's guilty. But 742 00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:51.679 the on the Heisman, yeah, Hesan, it has Heisman odds, but 743 00:50:51.719 --> 00:50:57.000 they're twenty which Washington twenty first? Which Washington seven thousand, two thousand and 744 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:00.320 seven thousand. Yeah wow, that's close. Yeah yeah. Out the Utah 745 00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:06.679 is at six thousand. Utah is the highest rated, uh it has the 746 00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:10.519 best odds of in the in the big twelve. Utah and then Kansas State 747 00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:15.519 at seven thousand, Arizona at eight thousand and then you get to Oklahoma State 748 00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:20.639 at fifteen thousand. Yeah, should be a competitive conference. We'll see. 749 00:51:20.679 --> 00:51:22.239 It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun. I think it's gonna be 750 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:27.599 fun for us. Yeah, as journalists or whatever we are, just because 751 00:51:27.599 --> 00:51:30.719 it's different. Even home games I believe will feel better. So yeah, 752 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:31.880 good for fans, Yeah, it should be cool. Well, they're they're, 753 00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:35.920 they're, they're fans are coming.
