6
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.039
did remember your name, right,
so you're a little worried about it.

7
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.000
I forgot Henry's name yesterday. Who
are you guys? Hey, Welcome to

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.320
Thursday. This Thursday, Thursday's hot
day. A lot of news going on

9
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:43.359
at U of A. Yeahs draft
is on football? Second day of the

10
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:47.359
draft. Basketball. Do you want
to talk about basketball? Yeah? What

11
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:52.399
in the world are people thinking?
Well, you know, it's weird how

12
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:57.000
this thing happens. And you know, there's Pelly Larson got drafted. We

13
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:59.759
know that, all right, And
he's drafted with the forty fourth pick.

14
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.680
It's like, okay, who drafted
about somebody else? Oh? But that's

15
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.799
why, you know, because that's
where I went When you said basketball,

16
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.840
what did you have schedule? Oh, we'll talk about that in a second,

17
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:19.040
because I have a rant. That's
what I thought. You people are

18
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.840
paying attention to the draft right now, So pel larcen draft. You know

19
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.640
people fans want to know when the
U Good luck because you're going to be

20
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.599
waiting a long time. Yeah.
Well, Pella Larson gets drafted, drafted

21
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:36.760
forty four. It was the Houston
Rockets draft pick, and apparently they picked

22
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.079
him. But now we're there,
the question is did he did the pick

23
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.879
get traded before or after he got
drafted? And he ended up in Miami

24
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.560
by way of Atlanta. He'll play
with your boy Hoimy Hawkins? Is that?

25
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.640
Oh, that's right, that's where
Hyman Hawkins is. They had some

26
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.439
battles to those two guys. But
Pala Larson has been drafted with the forty

27
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.680
fourth pick. Uh, we think
you got drafted by Houston, then traded

28
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:07.480
to Atlanta, then traded to Miami. So ultimately he ends up with with

29
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.759
with the Marlin. More importantly if
you're keeping Marlin, more important if you

30
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.719
keeping score. I won the bid
over Brent. Let's take this call.

31
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.840
We got call already hire on the
air and I and the ball. What's

32
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:22.960
cracking, guys? How you guys
doing where you are? What? What?

33
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:27.159
What area code are you? First
of all, Steve, I know

34
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.360
this is like a Melancholi reminder that
you get all the time. But condolence

35
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:38.759
is sincerely, big dog. We'll
reach out in pay for you and hugs

36
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.199
and your mama up there and she
yeah, it is what it is.

37
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:50.360
Man. But this we got money. This this this rule is we got

38
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.319
four point seven millions. Some of
us have it coming to us. Oh,

39
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.840
Jay, subscribe, you subscribe Sunday
Ticket right, Sunday Ticket is like,

40
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.360
what a four billion dollar judgment?
I'm supposed to go to customers?

41
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:10.639
But first of all, point seven
it's a point seven that's closer to almost

42
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.039
a five million dollar judgment back to
us. Okay, okay, and okay

43
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:19.719
half of it goes to the lawyers. All right. So that's the first

44
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.879
thing you need to know. And
then you know what somebody somebody said,

45
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.000
Okay, do I get how much
of the four billion dollars? Do I

46
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.879
get? Somebody said two dollars?
Two dollars? And then that's something stuffing.

47
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.919
But see I'm not gonna get cracked
because I was that jerk. And

48
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.120
then this is why the PAC twelve
is no more because of a jerk's like

49
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.400
me loving our situation where we used
to leverage. Well, I can't watch

50
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.800
my Wildcats, so take me to
the retention department and they take me the

51
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.879
retention Oh yeah, I will keep
you drink. Give me if you would

52
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.680
give me Sunday ticket for free.
I can't watch my Arizona Wildcats. And

53
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:58.319
then I lived in that sin and
it blew up in my face. But

54
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.520
I know a bunch of people who
did that. I would. I would

55
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:09.599
leverage because the pack twop network wasn't
available on direct TV. But this is

56
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.479
still cool, man, it's it's
it's cool, and it's gonna change the

57
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:17.720
game where they can just hoard our
teams. I know there's crafty Arizona Cardinal

58
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.040
fans. When you guys get both
of these Arizona Cardinal games. They used

59
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.079
to put Cowboy Games America team on
it. I didn't have to buy something

60
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.959
tickets, But now I could just
subscribe. Hopefully the game has changed and

61
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.800
I could just watch Cowboy games.
I don't have to watch everything else and

62
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.480
maybe the red Zone that'd be dope. Yeah no, and it's still expensive.

63
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.040
You know, even now that it's
on YouTube, it's still expensive,

64
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.000
although they're doing more things with it
on it's a it's a fortune. And

65
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.439
you're right. I know a bunch
of people who did what you did,

66
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.680
Mike, who who purposely called in
and said, well, I can't get

67
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.240
the packed off network, I'm leaving, and they okay, we'll give it

68
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.759
t for free. Then they got
it was in the hole. It was

69
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.399
like it was so it would give
us a reason to go to the bar,

70
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.879
well some of us out and go
to the U of a game,

71
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.319
you know what I mean. I
was fortunate to travel with the team like

72
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:12.920
you guys were, George Khalil,
you guys. But but we got we

73
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.920
we could leverage that and I would
look forward to it every year. That

74
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.519
was the eighth in the hole.
But whoever gets money, like I know

75
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.279
my my brother in law specifically would
buy it. I want to. I

76
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.839
want to see what he gets and
the returns, what it what it would

77
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.040
look like, maybe because he did
it Avenue for years. Oh yeah,

78
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.240
I got it. I've had it
every year since the first year it became

79
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.959
available. Yeah. Man, And
the red zone just changed the game.

80
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.120
So and if they have the option
like from some of us could jail break

81
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.279
fire sticks but that's here and there. But now the options to just scream

82
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.560
your team, team, your team, and then get red zone. I

83
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.839
could live with that, especially being
a Cowboy fan. So and for into

84
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.920
my misery, they're going to have
to do something like that, because this

85
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.160
is great. It's fun that this
came up because I just got my my

86
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.639
notice that they're going to start charging
me my you know, four payments,

87
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:12.399
it's four hundred and well, we
could have a group thing. I could

88
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.079
put it in a value money in
the sign and just look at it with

89
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.560
the passports bro. You know,
man, we don't on our listeners and

90
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:29.800
college CC we don't. We don't
promote. But but again, I miss

91
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.279
y'all, you already know sports that
are coming and coming fast. Andy Mechnical

92
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.519
disappoints again, just like the Dallas
Cowboys and the Arizona Wildcat basketball team.

93
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:44.480
Are you are you still doing your
podcast? Yes, yes, we're still

94
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.160
doing the Cowboy of podcast. I
had a kind of a setback with the

95
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.959
fat Boy Sports podcast, but it'll
get rolling once football gets going. But

96
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.759
thank you. Remember the Cowboy of
podcast on YouTube. You already know that's

97
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:04.240
on Tuesday night. Uh, those
five o'clock Mountain Standard Times look it up.

98
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.920
So it's all bad news all the
time. Oh yeah, yeah.

99
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:14.399
Like I said, it's Redical soccer, it's Arizona basketball. We're just chipper

100
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:20.480
here and we're extremely masochistic on this
side of the humid, nasty Gucci son.

101
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.360
But I love y'all again. Condolences
against You're my dog, you my

102
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:31.199
uncles. I love y'all later.
Nothing like starting off a show that yeah

103
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.240
he talked about, the go ahead
and tell him what they're talking about with

104
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.639
the There was a there was a
verdict today in a in a class action

105
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:48.720
lawsuit against against Direct TV regarding Sunday
ticket the the award to that's supposed to

106
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.759
go to residential customers is a total
of four billion dollars. I don't know

107
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.360
how they're gonna divvy that up,
but I'm gonna go get some of mine

108
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.199
because I've been a customer of theirs
since the day they started. I don't

109
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.199
know how I can prove that,
but and I don't know how much that

110
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.759
means, you know, to somebody
like me. But then the then they

111
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.839
there are several hundred million that are
going to that's going out to commercial courses.

112
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.759
The commercial customers. The the vert
the verdict is about the fact that

113
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:22.519
because they had a monopoly on the
telecast that they were able to uh jack

114
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.560
up the prices of it. Uh. It's against the NFL and and and

115
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.679
Direct TV. So because you know, the NFL gave it to Direct TV

116
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.600
and allowed Direct TV to discharge whatever
they wanted, you know, four three,

117
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.000
four, five hundred. Now it's
almost five hundred dollars. That that

118
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.720
was unfair practices. And so so
what's it gonna be no, or I

119
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.080
don't know, I don't know.
I mean, you know, they haven't

120
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.679
sent me anything. Are you paying? So that you're paying five hundred bucks

121
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.360
pretty much four hundred and eighty nine
you get every NFL game and Red Zone.

122
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.799
Uh. And then with with it
got moved to YouTube last year.

123
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.320
With YouTube, there's some cool things
with it now because you can they have

124
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.600
they have groupings of games, so
you can set up your screen and there

125
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.000
are three games or four games all
you know, all on one screen,

126
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.519
or you can have three games in
red zone or whatever. Now you don't

127
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.559
get to pick, you know,
the groupings. It's like they set they

128
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.679
set up what they think are interesting. So like I'll find a you know,

129
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.240
like like say there's four games,
I'll find one that said has three

130
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.679
games that I'm really interested in,
I'll put it on there. Or you

131
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.080
can watch one game, but you
get every game. You got every game

132
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.559
plus Red Zone. Now what you
don't get what's blacked out on it is

133
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.159
the games that are on your local
television station. So when the Cardinals are

134
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.399
on, Okay, you don't get
the Cardinals if they're on, you know,

135
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.039
if they're on, what do we
get? We're on Fox and CBS.

136
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.279
So whatever the Fox and CBS games
are on here, you can't get

137
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.960
on on Sunday ticket. But you
got all the games, any game you

138
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.279
want. So for somebody like a
fantasy player, maybe somebody gambles a little

139
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.000
bit and has game that they would
in otherwise see here. I know for

140
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.440
gamblers that hasn't done many good.
You know, I I love it because

141
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.720
I love being able to pick whatever
game I want to see. You know,

142
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.120
if there's a play, if you
know my quarterback is playing, and

143
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.639
you know my fantasy quarterback is playing
in a game that I couldn't see here

144
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.000
on the regular thing. I'm not
a big fan of Red Zone. I'm

145
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.120
I can't I can't keep up with
it. And I really didn't like how

146
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:31.240
they did red Zone last year,
where they would change basically every play they'd

147
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.639
go to a new game, whereas
the way they did red Zone before is

148
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.679
they would get into a game,
stay with it for a couple of players

149
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.720
or a drive, and then go
to the next one. Now they changed

150
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.399
every single twice. So America has
adhd well. I see, I can't.

151
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.399
I can't. I lose my mind
with the tickers and all that stuff.

152
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.679
Okay, anyway, so anyways,
then we're done talking. Pala Larson

153
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.080
got drafted. We're waiting for to
see if Keisha Johnson gets drafted. Another

154
00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.320
Connecticut guy just got drafted. So
that's four Connecticut players who've been draftrafted.

155
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.360
We just got drafted to Ronni James. James, the Lakers did get him.

156
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.519
Okay, my shot still says on
the clock. Okay, So okay,

157
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.480
so there's only three picks left and
has not been picked. So maybe

158
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.559
you know, maybe at this point
you hope you just try to go to

159
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.440
a place it's the best for him. He'll be able to go to a

160
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.120
team that wants him to at least
a show, and he'll have a good

161
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.919
summer league or try to have a
god summer league and see what happens.

162
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.279
Still, I bet with Brian,
and we talked about this yesterday. I

163
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.360
didn't think either of them either when
we get drafted. Apparently I had Palty

164
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.200
before I had Johnson, and I
don't think it's it's gonna be tough to

165
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.960
make a roster for both of them. It's just people don't understand. Okay,

166
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:43.519
you play really well in college,
blah blah blah, it's different in

167
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.080
the NBA. It's just different.
It is. You got it. Look,

168
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.279
look, did you watch any of
the NBA yesterday the draft? No?

169
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.440
Exactly, and neither do I.
Nobody really did. And it was

170
00:11:54.840 --> 00:12:00.679
unexciting. It was exciting to you
exactly. I don't well foreign players,

171
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.200
which is not a surprise. I
went, I went by it, and

172
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.360
and Stephen A. Smith was ranting, and so I couldn't change. Okay

173
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.360
enough, but there was no no
love fest for it. Today was no

174
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.840
different. It was what two hours
ago it started. Now it's almost over.

175
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.840
The draft itself was very weak,
and so uh, what's to like?

176
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:24.759
My my again, my only interest, my interest always in is in

177
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.720
what happens to the Arizona guys.
And so that's that's why I I for

178
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.679
that reason, I would sit down
and watch it. Right, It's like

179
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.240
I got a wait to find out, like I, like I said,

180
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.639
I passed by it and and uh
and Steven A. Smith was going off

181
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:41.600
on something. So immediately change the
channel. I put on the dateline or

182
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.679
something. Yeah, listen, I
don't want to talk about this now because

183
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.399
we only have two minutes. So
I talked about Pele, we talked about

184
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.960
Johnson, and we'll talk about Caleb
on the other side of the guests,

185
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:56.000
which is to Lenny Snell Delaney Shanell
Olympian, two time Olympia now from Tucson

186
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.559
High and the uf A. So
we'll talk to her about her journey now

187
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.399
and it happens. Uh, you
know what happens is from now to she

188
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.679
goes to Paris. Right, and
then at the second hour have Lamont Hunley,

189
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:09.519
who one of our great sponsors,
and I wanted to talk to him.

190
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.759
He says, he says to me, this morning, Uh, you

191
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.320
must be running out of guest.
I said, it's a summer. It's

192
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.080
a summer. We need people to
talk. And I said, well,

193
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.000
we'll talk about the incoming freshman just
whatever. Uh, you know, his

194
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.000
brother's obviously still in the program,
but he can kind of talk about it

195
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.080
without any prejudice. Uh. And
then just about uh, there was another

196
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.399
thing I want to talk to him
about, not so much and I know,

197
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.679
but just about uh, the projections
and things like that, you know,

198
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.559
because he doesn't he's a big fan
and he's and he and is it

199
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.799
too much to ask to be really
good? Uh, we'll see he's excitement

200
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.399
for the for the Big twelve,
and then we'll talk about on the other

201
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.080
side when we have to is the
schedule, the schedule, the Big the

202
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:56.360
Big twelve basketball schedule dropped from the
standpoint of who's playing who and such a

203
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.799
massive, massive, massive omission and
my mind by you're you're not alone.

204
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.879
Just it just makes you think,
does anybody think about this stuff before they

205
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.200
do this stuff? And so we'll
get we'll get to that, and maybe

206
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.480
they overcorrect, which makes no sense, you know that they don't want to.

207
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.919
I don't know, you'd have to
ask. We can, we'll we'll

208
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.200
have that discussion because it makes what
they did with the schedule makes zero sense

209
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.080
to me. And we'll get into
that. So let's go ahead and take

210
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.279
our break. She's got to hit
the road. He's got to run,

211
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:31.759

290
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:12.200
are you, Delaney? We're doing
well. Thanks for joining us. What

291
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:17.279
an exciting time for you? Is
it is? Is it exciting as we

292
00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:21.480
think it is? Yes? Yeah, I mean when the Olympics only happened

293
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.920
every four years, it's hard not
to be excited. So so how the

294
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.240
anticipation of this Olympics that okay,
you you made it last last time,

295
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.160
you know, it was your first
time and all that kind of stuff.

296
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.960
Was the second time around? More? Was it more nerve wracking or less

297
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.319
because you had been through it?
You know? Maybe more pressure on yourself

298
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.359
too. You know, you need
to make it this time because you're you

299
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.720
made it last time. I mean, how how did all that work with

300
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.200
you? You know? Mentally?
Yeah, I think first time is always

301
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:57.000
stressful just because it's something that's never
happened before, and trying to make that

302
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:03.000
happen for the first time is always
course going to be very stressful. But

303
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.400
I think with me potentially retiring after
this Olympics, you know, this might

304
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.200
be my last competition, So I
feel like I did have a little more

305
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:17.920
pressure on myself because obviously I wanted
to end my diving career at the Olympics.

306
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.839
So I still feel like that pressure
just hasn't really changed. It's just

307
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.000
a little different. Yeah, how
old are you? You're like twenty three?

308
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.400
You're like twelve, twenty five,
fi man, and so the life,

309
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.240
the life of a diver is like
twenty six, what is it?

310
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.960
It depends on the event. I'm
a ten meter diver, so I take

311
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:42.640
a little bit more impact because I'm
higher up. So a lot of ten

312
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:48.759
meter divers retire a little earlier.
Three meter. Sometimes you'll have some that

313
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.400
are in the thirty seven range,
but that's that's pushing this so if it

314
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.160
could real quick. We talked about
this day a couple of days ago when

315
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.400
you when we try to get you
on and you said, yes, carry

316
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.799
Strugg uh direct Landy Schnell and who
else? Right. Well, so,

317
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.359
I mean there's a lot of Olympians
like gone to the U of A and

318
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.200
that kind of stuff. But when
you're talking about somebody from Tucson, Uh,

319
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:12.599
you know, we well, you
know, when we talk about great

320
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.720
Olympians from Tucson, we think of
Carrie Strug because of that, you know,

321
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:21.759
incredible Olympics that she had and the
drama of of that. But I

322
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.519
think you got to be mentioned in
that neighborhood. Uh. You're probably gonna

323
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.000
say, uh, you don't really
want to talk about that, but tell

324
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.160
us. I mean, how do
you feel about what you've done and how

325
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:36.240
where you feel you rate in Tucson, Arizona in this area. Yeah,

326
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.640
I mean there's a reason I went
here for college. I just felt like

327
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:44.359
it wasn't my time to leave Arizona
yet. And I feel like part of

328
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.480
me going to Arizona for college was
my way of giving back to the community

329
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.480
because I always felt like the community, you know, treated me so well

330
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:55.880
as an athlete. And you know, I was close with like Southern Arizona

331
00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:00.519
road runners because my family is a
family of runners. So I've just been

332
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.720
involved in the Tucson community since I
was very little. Yeah, so it

333
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:07.079
feels pretty cool to be able to
kind of go down in history as one

334
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.359
of the one of the great athletes. You uh, I don't know.

335
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.480
You probably you started gymnastics. I
think if you if I recall, right,

336
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.599
uh, do you pinch yourself?
Could you think this little girl from

337
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.880
Tucson would have gotten this not just
once, but twice? I don't know,

338
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.279
It's hard hard to say. I
feel like initially I thought maybe that

339
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.119
was an option in gymnastics, and
then you know, a lot changed and

340
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:34.400
at that point it was like,
okay, well I just need to find

341
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:40.799
another sport to hopefully get a college
scholarship, just because financially, that was

342
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.920
my way to college. So yeah, so it really was about me trying

343
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:51.279
to find a scholarship in some sport. And you know, the moment I

344
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.160
did my first sive, I kind
of realized, you know what, I

345
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:59.000
think I can actually do more in
the sport than just college. And sure

346
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.400
enough, here we are. You
are. So, how did your I

347
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.519
don't know, your your your training, your routine and all that change since

348
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:10.000
you were you were out of college
this last year, you know, how

349
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:11.079
did you go about it? Where
did you know? Where did you do

350
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.079
all your work? Where did you
train? Just tell us a little bit

351
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.920
about this last year, what that
was like for you getting ready to try

352
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.680
out for the Olympics. Yeah,
it really hasn't changed that much, just

353
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.759
because I still train at the university. I still have access to the weight

354
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:29.839
room and the athletic training facility because
I am an alum, so I still

355
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.599
have access to all of that,
and it's still my same coach from college.

356
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.559
So really the only thing that's changed
is I haven't had to go travel

357
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.759
to duel meets every other week and
and do all the competition that came with

358
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:47.400
college diving, and so honestly,
it was a little easier because I was

359
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:52.880
able to focus more on those big
international competitions, and really I had time

360
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.599
to work on the basics works at
work on the detail work that during a

361
00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.519
college season you can't really work on
because you need to be performance ready pretty

362
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:06.720
much the whole year. So how
did ten meter become your you know,

363
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:10.119
your event, because I, for
one, wouldn't even want to go up

364
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:14.319
there. But you know, this
is you know when I think of diving

365
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.240
night, you know, I think
of that because it's such an incredible event.

366
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.440
You know, you're you're so high
up and you're you can do so

367
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.640
many things. But how did that
become your event? M For me,

368
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.720
it just kind of clicked. It's
funny though, actually because the first time

369
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.559
I jumped off five meter, which
is like halfway up to ten meter,

370
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.920
I actually landed with my arms out
and I like smacked my aunt arms on

371
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.720
the water, and I remember being
like, no way, I'm going to

372
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:44.279
be a power diver. A ten
meter diver like that hurt. I don't

373
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:48.240
want to do that again. And
it's just funny because you know, after

374
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.880
I took my first dive on ten
meter, I realized, you know what,

375
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.359
this event is just clicking for me
a lot better than the springboard is.

376
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.079
And yeah, I think just from
there, I realized I enjoyed competing

377
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:04.839
it more, I enjoyed training it
more, and it just it just clicked.

378
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.319
So I'm not sure how you want
to react to this question, because

379
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.319
we've talked to you at least mister
geist, Jay, and I continue to

380
00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:15.839
say that over the last couple of
years of mister Geist in track and you

381
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:21.240
and in diving were like to the
two faces at the University of Arizona that

382
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:25.240
should have been killing it with nil. And I think it was mister Geist

383
00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:27.240
that said, uh, it's not
about us, because we were in these

384
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.119
sports that kind of no one really
pays attention to, and the football and

385
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.440
basketball teams get it. Well,
what's your thoughts on that, because you

386
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:38.200
too, you two guys were fantastic
and probably should have gotten a boatload of

387
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:42.119
money. Yeah, I think that
is the tough part of being in a

388
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:47.359
sport like we're in. It's just, you know, unfortunately it just doesn't

389
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.440
get the same attention, and like
it is, it is hard finding nil

390
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:56.240
deals. And I think also what
affected that is, like the whole Nile

391
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:02.480
stuff happened while while we were in
college work after college, so we were

392
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.599
just so used to not being able
to accept those things, and then all

393
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:08.279
of a sudden, so much changed
in a matter of months. And so

394
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:14.400
I think that on top of being
in a sport that just doesn't really get

395
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.079
the same recognition, is just it
made it a little more difficult right,

396
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:21.640
Well, we talk about this,
we talk about this, and let me

397
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.440
say this this way. So football
players worked the butt off. Basketball players

398
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:26.559
worked the butt off, of course, but you know what, so to

399
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.799
gymnasts, so to divers, so
to women's basketball players, and there's no

400
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:33.480
I don't know if equity is the
right word, but you know where I'm

401
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.440
going with it, right Yeah,
Yeah, I just think, you know,

402
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.119
unfortunately, we're not the sport that
has hundreds of sands in the sands

403
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:47.400
like we're We're just not not well
known. People don't really understand the sport.

404
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:52.359
And I think if there was more
effort to put diving out there and

405
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.240
more ability to put diving out there, then more people would understand it.

406
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.680
Because in other countries, I mean, it's a big sport. You go

407
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.720
to everybody knows who the divers are. You go to Mexico, Great Britain,

408
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:08.079
divers in those countries, just because
there's more effort to make it known,

409
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.200
right Yeah. Interesting. Interesting,
We're talking to Delaney Schanel, two

410
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:18.319
time Olympian, Tucson High grad Juve
grad. So Blaney, tell us a

411
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:22.799
little bit about what happens from now
until you head to Paris. What are

412
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:25.640
you doing, and then what's that
going to be like once you get there,

413
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:27.279
You've been through it once, but
it's probably still going to be a

414
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:34.519
little different. Yeah, I think
the big difference is that there will be

415
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:40.720
spectators in Paris, so that's kind
of the new thing. Family's also going

416
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.680
and so there's going to be the
distraction of like trying to see my family,

417
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.920
but like we've been told that there's
just not a lot of time to

418
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.400
see them because you're going to be
cold left and right for media stuff,

419
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.880
you're going to be training, you're
going to be competing, and there's like

420
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:57.960
no access to the village for outsiders, so pretty much just athletes, and

421
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.200
so it's very hard for Olympic athletes
to aftually get to see a family.

422
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.200
And I think that's going to be
something that's new for me that I'm going

423
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.960
to have to manage with my family
and really communicate like, look, there's

424
00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.880
only so much time I'm going to
get with you. And then yeah,

425
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.480
just having the spectators there, I
think is going to be a massive change.

426
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.359
Because Tokyo, of course it was
just my dive team that was there

427
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.119
and so the stands were empty and
I felt like practice, that's I think

428
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:30.599
what made it so easy to go
in there and perform. So what's what's

429
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:37.160
the what's the routine between now and
then? So right now, it's just

430
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.799
training back to the same routine of
you know, one to two practices a

431
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:48.559
day weightlifting, getting in the rehab
room and doing some preventative rehab and just

432
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.000
yeah, just taking care of my
body and getting ready to go. So

433
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.000
let me say this, your four
years removed from the last time, you

434
00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.640
even sound different. You sound more
more mature, if you will, So

435
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.640
don't you, I mean, do
you feel that way too, that you

436
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.039
are a KG veteran or however you
want to describe it. Yeah, I

437
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.640
mean obviously experience comes with that.
And you know, I've gone through a

438
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:18.119
graduate program and I feel like even
just guessing my education added a little sophistication,

439
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.519
I guess, But it's just there's
been a lot of roads east.

440
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.680
What what are you? What are
you going to do after this? So

441
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.400
I'm actually going to be moving to
Colorado in December with my fiance, so

442
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.000
planning a wedding also, so that's
another thing. But no pressure, no

443
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.759
pressure, no pressure. So are
you gonna what did you get your degree

444
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.000
in? And what are you going
to try to do with it? Yeah,

445
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.000
so I got my degree in the
speech language pathology program, so Masters

446
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.559
of science, and I'll be hopefully
working in a hospital setting, maybe acute

447
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:57.680
care with adults, most like trauatic
brain injury or stroke. If I were

448
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:03.480
you, i'd wear your medal everywhere. I'm too scared to bring it everywhere,

449
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.000
no thoughts of coaching or anything like
that. You are, You're just

450
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.039
going to put it behind you,
you know. I feel like it's going

451
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.880
to be really hard to put it
behind just because it's been my life.

452
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.440
I feel like, unfortunately, athletes
get so wrapped up in this sport that

453
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:22.200
it's just like it almost becomes your
identity. So I don't think I'm going

454
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.640
to be able to let go of
it completely. I'm sure I'll try coaching

455
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.000
or somehow say involved with the sports. Yeah, well incredible. Well again,

456
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.440
you know, you're you have to
be mentioned among you know, the

457
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.000
greats and Tucson not just not just
as an Olympian, but just one of

458
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:42.319
the great athletes, right whether it's
a baseball player or a football player or

459
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.200
whatever. You know, Tucson.
When it comes to that, I'll just

460
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:51.400
say Tucson's not as big as sure
some of these other places that spit out

461
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.039
great athletes all the time. So
congratulations on all of that. And you

462
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:57.720
have made everybody proud. Yeah,
I mean it's an honor to represent Usson.

463
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:02.519
So you're up here and it's home
and nice, stay cool in Colorado.

464
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:06.279
We'll keep an eye out for you. Are you coming back to Arizona?

465
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.799
You're going directly to Colorado. I'll
be in Colorado or sorry, I'll

466
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:15.240
be in Arizona until I finished my
clinic hours because I have my fee,

467
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:22.200
but i still need to finish clinic
hours, so I'll be there. Maybe

468
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.519
do you need a note from somebody
to you know, to to you know,

469
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.000
to be able to get off of
those hours and stuff and go to

470
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:36.480
the Olympics or will help you with
that requirement? Well, well we might

471
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:38.559
have you back when you can return. Yeah, would love we'd love to

472
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:40.839
have you. Okay, good luck, Hey, best of luck? All

473
00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:46.200
right? Thanks? Lay cool?
Yeah, awesome, cool, you're right,

474
00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:52.720
She's yeah, it feels more more
sort more as short of herself.

475
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.960
You remember last time she was kind
of like a kind of like she was

476
00:32:55.960 --> 00:33:00.480
twenty one. She was very young, so I'm still mature. I know,

477
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:04.440
I get to I get told all
the time. By the way,

478
00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:07.640
by the way, Johnson was not
he did not get drafted. Figure go

479
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:14.160
figure. You know, I wonder
is he disappointed or probably like the end

480
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.519
of the day, he'll be with
the team. Yeah, he's like okay.

481
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.400
You know, if you get to
a point, like with six picks

482
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.240
left, you said, okay,
nobody drafted, I would say yes,

483
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.880
because now you get the pick and
choose or another hand. Steve, you

484
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:28.119
know, you can always say,
man, I got drafted in the NBA,

485
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:30.039
and that'll get you what that nickel, get your nickel at the end

486
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:34.799
of the day, I know it's
landing. It's like you're if you're the

487
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.960
heavyweight champion of the world one time. So what you know, once once

488
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:42.960
once a heavyweight champion, always a
heavyweight champion. Once you were you know,

489
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:46.279
if NBA draft pick, always an
if he sticks in the NBA in

490
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:50.440
the end, the idea is to
stick. So you're right, I mean,

491
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.200
from that standpoint, yes, you
might as well just go to a

492
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.880
you know, go to somewhere where
you can fit. But to be able

493
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:00.920
to put that merit badge on your
chest that you got drapped in NBA.

494
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:05.759
You and I live differently. You
and I live differently. Look good,

495
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:13.000
play good exactly exactly, jump high, good matter. Okay, let's go,

496
00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:14.840
all right, let's take a break. Word to come back. We'd

497

it was a labor of love through the

502
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:34.000
eyes of twenty five former players,
coaches, and friends to give insight to

503
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.400
the coach and the man who led
them, competed against them, and inspired

504
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.400
them. Twenty five chapters for his
twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

505
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:45.480

how he built the program into a national

00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:49.039
quick interview that was real. If
anyone wants to give us a call five

we have plenty of time for take some

534
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:57.400
calls. We want to discuss the
basketball Yeah, schedule. I thought that

535
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:04.599
would be your biggest rent today.
It is. You know, here's the

536
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:09.039
thing. You know, sometimes things
make so much sense where it's it's so

537
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:15.719
much common sense that people don't realize
that something makes all the sense of the

538
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:20.199
world and they just look past it. Right, Nobody thinks about it.

539
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.559
How an organization like the Big Twelve
Conference, which is you know, you

540
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:28.320
got you got to make the money, right, you have to and maybe

541
00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:31.920
while we got our contracts, so
we're good. But how with all the

542
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:38.079
hoopla of the Pac twelve teams going
into the Big twelve, the interests they're

543
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:43.760
trying to generate in that the way
people are talking about what the basketball conference

544
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:47.920
is going to be like with Arizona
joining joining up with Kansas and Iowa State

545
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:52.880
and Baylor and Houston and Texas Tech, and so they make a schedule.

546
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.719
It's the first schedule, the first
year of the expanded Big Twelve Conference,

547
00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:04.480
and nobody over there thought maybe,
just maybe Kansas and Arizona should play twice.

548
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:09.480
Because the schedule comes out they play
once it's it's in Kansas. Even

549
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:13.880
if that game was here and and
they want to, I'd still be pissed

550
00:38:13.880 --> 00:38:19.280
off. How do you not How
does nobody think maybe these two teams should

551
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.320
play twice? And I brought I
don't disagree with you because that's the first

552
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:24.400
thing I looked at when I saw
the schedule, and I'm thinking that's unfortunate.

553
00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:28.039
And I'm thinking, when talking to
you, I'm thinking maybe it was

554
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:31.000
like an overcorrect undercurreer. It was
just a weird thing that they didn't want

555
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:36.440
to do that initially, which makes
no sense, don't I don't know.

556
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:38.519
There's no explanation. These schedules are
done with the computer, right, they

557
00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:43.800
put all they put well, they
put all the teams in and and you

558
00:38:43.840 --> 00:38:46.239
know, it spits something out.
And then what you do is you go

559
00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:49.960
around and you kind of, you
know, fiddle to it. It make

560
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:52.960
make you can go out there and
make adjustments to it. Well, they're

561
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.519
maybe they shouldn't play twice. I
mean, how nobody looked at this and

562
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.400
didn't say, you know what,
guys, we need to fix it.

563
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:01.639
We need to fix Kansas in Arizona. You need to play two times.

564
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:06.440
For all the national attention it would
get, for the excitement it would get

565
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.159
in both cities and the league as
a whole to see these two teams,

566
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:13.679
you know, the only blue blood
that you know that the Big twelve has

567
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:17.320
in Kansas and the near blue blood
that Arizona is. And they didn't say

568
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:22.880
those two teams need to play.
Wait, I said it. I said

569
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:27.639
it. I said it. I
said it. Put this poster on the

570
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.400
side. I said it. I
know you've said you've agreed with me.

571
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:34.400
I said it, but I don't
disagree with you on this issue. On

572
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:37.920
this issue, it's a common it's
a very blatant mistake. I think.

573
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:42.239
I'm thinking people, even probably the
Big twelve, were thinking, what Kansas

574
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.239
fan wants to play Arizona. Sure, okay, here there. They're happy

575
00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:46.079
they get them, but they want
to see it. They want to players

576
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:49.519
on a twice, you know what, because they want to kick Arizona's asked

577
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.480
bice and say we're better than The
good thing is we'll probably see him again

578
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:55.000
both again in the tournament. In
the tournament, there's probably that. But

579
00:39:55.119 --> 00:40:00.480
here's the deal. These things are
usually on a two year rotating bas which

580
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:04.760
means that next year you're not gonna
play Kansas twice either. You're gonna play

581
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:08.440
Kansas once in Tucson. So you
might want to say, who's coming,

582
00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:12.239
Houston's coming, Baylor's coming. I
think, well, here here, I

583
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.400
got it. No, I got
in front of me. Okay, so

584
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:22.480
so uh uh. Arizona's home opponents
are a s U, Baylor, b

585
00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:30.880
y U, H Central Florida,
Colorado, Houston, Iowa State TCU Texas

586
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:34.840
Tech, Utah. Then they go
to a s U, go to Baylor,

587
00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.280
go to b YU, go to
Cincinnati, go to Iowa State,

588
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:42.280
go to Kansas, Kansas State,
Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Virginia.

589
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:45.400
So the teams that they play twice
are A s U, Baylor,

590
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:54.079
b YU, Iowa State, UH, Texas Tech. And that's it,

591
00:40:54.920 --> 00:40:59.760
Arizona State, Baylor, b YU, Iowa State, and Texas Tech.

592
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.000
Yeah. Five teams that you played
twice. And that's great. Look,

593
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:05.880
there's a bunch of good games in
there, right Baylor home and Home.

594
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:07.920
That's a great one. You know, that's good. Iowa State, you

595
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:12.480
know that's a good one. I'm
just saying that the best one out there,

596
00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:16.559
the best matchup of all the matchups
of all the teams is Kansas Arizona.

597
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:22.880
And nobody thought that they should play
two times. Okay, well what

598
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:24.000
of these One of those times?
I agree with you, Jay, one

599
00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:28.199
of these times it happens, Steve, because you're right. I mean,

600
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:32.880
there's no like, there's there's no
other side to this right side are and

601
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.320
just the day before yes start there. You got to get your tickets.

602
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:38.440
You gotta get your tickets because it's
gonna be a fantastic schedule. Well,

603
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:43.320
the fantastic can be removed from that
because it's not fantastic. It's gonna be

604
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.920
pretty good. And look in Narzona's
already got a great home schedule. Duke

605
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:50.599
is coming to town, right,
So that's not the complaint. The complaint

606
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:53.400
is that, Yeah, the common
sense thing to do here would have been

607
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.320
to have these two teams play to
the twice the first time they're in the

608
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.119
league together. That's all I'm saying. You know, if you want to

609
00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:02.679
say, if you want to say, Okay, you're only gonna play Baylor

610
00:42:02.719 --> 00:42:06.800
once, but you're gonna play Kansas
twy, nobody would complain about that,

611
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:09.280
you know. I mean, there
isn't a there isn't another side to this

612
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:15.960
argument. I'd love to hear what
somebody tell me what happened? Why did

613
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:20.280
this happen? Right? In fact, maybe we try to get to a

614
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:22.400
beat writer from the Kansas area,
think what are they thinking? Yeah,

615
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:27.239
and then you got crappy Arizona fans
up at the Arizona fans saying, oh

616
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.360
they did that because Bill self doesn'
want to players. Shut the hell up.

617
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:34.000
Bill self is not afraid of anybody. Don't tell me, don't tell

618
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:38.159
me you saw that. Yes,
you're aware. Wow, No, that's

619
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:42.920
totally no. No, no saying
that saying that, we know there's fans,

620
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:45.719
not the people I don't know didn't
say that. They said, I

621
00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:50.159
know there's people out there saying that, speculating. I'm no, Steve,

622
00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:53.239
come on, no doubt there's theirs. There's Arizona fans out there saying,

623
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:55.760
you know how I feel about that. You're right, but I haven't heard

624
00:42:55.800 --> 00:42:58.800
it yet. In fact, I
did see it once. They did see

625
00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:04.039
it as a reply when the first
the first tweet that came out, John

626
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:07.239
rothste I think was one who tweeted
that said this is who you're playing.

627
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:10.119
Somewhere in that threat, somebody said, Bill Soelf's afraid to play Arizona.

628
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:15.119
Come on, shut up. Yeah, now we've given one more opportunity of

629
00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:20.079
Arizona fans. It looked like dumb
asses. Well that's not on you,

630
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:22.880
it's on them, I know,
Steve. But we're connected to that.

631
00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.360
At least I am right. You
are, you know, And I just

632
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:30.079
watch you know, I watched.
I told you Jay, they're gonna come

633
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.840
out from the woodwork, but they're
not afraid. Yeah, that's the one

634
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:37.400
thing. It's gonna be a fun
season. But without Kansas here, it's

635
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:39.760
not gonna be as fun. Yeah. You know, look, playing baby

636
00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:44.199
b y you two times makes all
the sense of the world, all right,

637
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:46.320
is you twice twice? You have
to you have to play your arrival,

638
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:51.880
you know, two times. Houston's
coming. Houston comes here. Yeah,

639
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:55.679
but Arizona doesn't go there. Arizona
does have to go to West Virginia,

640
00:43:55.800 --> 00:44:00.920
but they don't come here. And
that's it's fine. All the rest

641
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:04.880
of it is fine. But just
guys. Yeah, you know, Texas

642
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.679
Tech is home and home. I
mean that's great, you know, and

643
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:08.400
like I said, there's some great
games. I mean, look at the

644
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:14.159
home the home conference schedule includes a
s U, Baylor, b YU,

645
00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:19.800
Houston, Iowa State, and Texas
Tech and Utah m hmm. Of all

646
00:44:19.840 --> 00:44:22.679
fun games. You know how many
times did we go to the arena?

647
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:29.440
God, it's Washington State tonight at
nine o'clock, you know, right there

648
00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:31.599
isn't There isn't a game here that
I'm gonna say. Man, I really

649
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:37.760
don't feel like going tonight. There
isn't. Yeah, your TCU. Last

650
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:39.960
time I was wont to play TCU. So it was a war. So

651
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:43.199
Richard, why don't you just give
me a call, give me give us

652
00:44:43.199 --> 00:44:45.079
a call. We got eight minutes. We have time if you're near a

653
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.960
phone. Richard just sent, uh
sent a note. I think he called

654
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:50.360
yesterday, right, yes, yeah, college, because this is a good,

655
00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:54.079
good note you sent me. So
you know, all these games are

656
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:59.159
really good games. There's not a
there's not a cal or an Oregon state

657
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:02.559
in there anyway where right, this
is gonna be fun. The good thing

658
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:06.159
is, I don't I don't want
to prematurely say this, but I don't

659
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:08.480
think there's gonna be nine o'clock games
anymore. I sure hope not. You

660
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:12.480
know, well it could be if
it's like if you're playing like a su

661
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:15.679
or bling somebody in the same in
the same time zone. You know,

662
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:17.679
you could you could see that.
So I don't know if Richard's gonna call

663
00:45:17.880 --> 00:45:22.920
you know, five o'clock games.
Yes, well that's so we have to

664
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.880
run from here. Yeah. Uh
so Arizona is an outsider team coming in

665
00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.440
and prepare for bias and bad calls. I agree with that one hundred percent.

666
00:45:30.480 --> 00:45:32.719
Agree with that. Let's take this
call. Hi, you're on the

667
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:36.480
air. And I and the ball. Hey are you guys talking about the

668
00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:38.880
Kansas scheduling thing? Yes? And
your and your email that you sent me.

669
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:44.000
Yes, Yes, that is bogus. Uh. I believe that's because

670
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:46.800
they're kind of treating Arizona as an
outsider. Uh. It's a little bit

671
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:51.639
of punish but for coming into the
league and we're not gonna call just roll

672
00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:54.199
out the red carpet for you guys
and come right down there with Tucson to

673
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:58.079
get beat. So, look,
you guys are gonna have to earn your

674
00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:01.280
chops. There's gonna be a little
bit of that. You're an outsider mentality,

675
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:07.840
you're enter little pers who have come
into a new territory, and so

676
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:09.280
we're going to have to work you
over a little bit. What do you

677
00:46:09.280 --> 00:46:15.519
think it sounds kind of interesting?
Well, I agree that like things like

678
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:17.920
in you know, media polls,
you know picking you know, picking the

679
00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:21.880
you know, the conference and stuff
like that, I think there will be

680
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:27.159
a lot of that from the media. I'm not sure why the conference would

681
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:31.159
do that when their objective is to
get eyes on the product. Right,

682
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:35.639
I agree, And what I thought
it was a bad decision Jay, Right?

683
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:40.320
And what what what other game what
other matchup in the Big Twelve with

684
00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:45.000
the new teams in it is going
to get more eyeballs on it than Kansas

685
00:46:45.000 --> 00:46:49.559
and Arizona. I agree, I
agree, you know, so, uh,

686
00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:52.360
this is what's going to happen.
I think this still happen to other

687
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.440
teams who move to other conferences.
They're going to get some bad calls against

688
00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:00.639
them, I think to be some
bias until they sort of establish themselves in

689
00:47:00.719 --> 00:47:04.679
the conference. Well, so they're
there, they're going to have a tough

690
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:08.039
time getting calls here too, though
they always have. So that's that's a

691
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:13.079
trade off. I'm okay with that. That's it's always been like that,

692
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:15.119
you know, whether you're in the
conference or not. Make sure in Oklahoma

693
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:22.079
we were fair on the call.
Okay, what we believe in equity as

694
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:30.920
long as we won the game.
Sounds god. You know, we're the

695
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.079
only team that had a five foot
tall hump in the middle of the field.

696
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:39.480
We're going offense was always running down
hill. Thank you, Richard,

697
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:45.400
Richard, I appreciated. He's got
some points there. Yeah, but again,

698
00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:49.639
Steve, if if in fact the
Big Twelve is doing that, then

699
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.800
they're just stupid and I can't believe
that they're really that. Well, well,

700
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:55.280
no, so you talked about that
above them being stupid, but you

701
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:59.440
figured you were done with it after
you left the PAC twelve. You did

702
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:01.920
right. Like I said, this
is something that you can see the PAC

703
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:06.280
twelve doing. Just some nobody with
the you know, the brain matter to

704
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:10.159
say don't do this, you know, don't do that. Ah God,

705
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:16.840
I am okay, I'll be fine. I'm just I guess what bugs me

706
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:22.239
most, Steve, is that nobody
saw this, Yeah, or somebody didn't

707
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.599
see that. Somebody didn't see it
and do something about it. Well,

708
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:27.880
I didn't see this coming, that's
for sure, because I thought, for

709
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:30.280
sure, if you got too money, go buy tickets down because there's gonna

710
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:35.000
be a lot of Houston's coming.
Yeah, it worries me. It worries

711
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:42.920
me that this conference might be run
as bad as the pack as the PAC

712
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.079
twelve. Well, on stuff like
this, you're not going to get it

713
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:50.480
every way you want it. But
I'm not saying that this is a This

714
00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:54.159
is a no brainer. They dropped
a total no brain. And it bothers

715
00:48:54.199 --> 00:49:00.400
me that coming right out of the
box, they spit this out as a

716
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.360
complete no brainer and screwed up like
that. I think that would be one

717
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:07.519
of the biggest questions asked during conference
during the media day. Absolutely, you

718
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.639
know somebody's going to ask that question. D Kansas Arizona. What the hell

719
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.880
were you guys doing? That's how
they need to ask it, just like

720
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:21.079
that, Yo, dude, what
God? What the f Why Kansas in

721
00:49:21.079 --> 00:49:23.760
Arizona? Only plane once? That's
how needs to be asked. Brian Peterson

722
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:29.320
would do that. No, bruce
Wood, Brucewood, Brucewood, Brian,

723
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:31.760
he said, you know, well
he is, he'd know, he'd him

724
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:34.760
and him. No, we need
to have an F bomb in it.

725
00:49:34.840 --> 00:49:37.840
No, Yeah, Brian wouldn't do
that. I don't know who wouldn't Snobody,

726
00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:40.559
we know, there's never that we
would know. You know, the

727
00:49:40.599 --> 00:49:44.400
guy would do well, he's in
the uk LA now. I don't know

728
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:47.079
who would in our group, no
where too nice. Yeah, they wouldn't

729
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:50.440
do it there too. Nice Bruce
would kind of got to kind of feel

730
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:52.599
like they wanted to do it,
but you wouldn't do it. You gotta

731
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:53.840
you got there's gotta be a code
word for them. I would do the

732
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:59.280
problem by myself if I were by
myself asking the question and not on the

733
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:05.599
podium right on the because it's I'm
not JJ Reddick, I haven't realized,

734
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:08.840
but not in at at the podium, it just god, what what the

735
00:50:08.840 --> 00:50:13.360
heck? Were you thinking? What
the hell? Guys, this is not

736
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.719
rocket science? No, no,
no no, And you think, hey,

737
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:20.119
how can we maximize this schedule?
How can we maximize this season?

738
00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:24.840
Home at home right away, immediately
immediately? How do you draw attention to

739
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:29.239
the conference? You draw attention to
the conference by having these two teams play

740
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:30.800
each other, and they maybe just
be trying to say, well, you

741
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.280
know what, guys, we know
you're really good, but you know,

742
00:50:34.360 --> 00:50:36.800
we got some pretty good teams already
in the league. To be fair,

743
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.119
you know, Iowa State's really good, Baylor's really good. You're just one

744
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:43.639
of the guys, so we're not
going to treat you special, if you

745
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:46.239
know. But nonetheless, it's a
first year. You only get this shot

746
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:49.639
one time, right, first impression, first, you know what time?

747
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.679
And now it's like they let they
let it go by, and they just

748
00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:55.119
again I think they I think they
put it into a computer and spit this

749
00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:59.159
out and somebody said get it up
there, and that's what they did.

750
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:04.639
Okay, that's cool. Oh so
you are you done? You've done your

751
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.559
heart pressure? Deep breath, yeah, heart pressure. Okay. We got

752
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:09.000
a lot of bricking news, I
mean crazy bricking news. We took a

753
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:13.519
couple of things from you. That's
right, you'll be fine. There's a

754
00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:15.199
lot of some point at you,
babe that we haven't talked about the draft

755
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:20.760
to steal available to you. And
uh with the people getting drunk. He

756
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:24.119
has already switched over to the Braves
gear. Yeah, you did the matter.

757
00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:29.960
Baseball stuff has been tossed aside.
I got the blue shirt. Yeah,

758
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:30.840
but it's not. It's just a
blue T shirt. It's not.

759
00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:37.119
It doesn't say Mavericks Braves doing.
Okay. Lost the White Sox today.

760
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:39.559
One nothing. They lost to the
White Sock that the Dodgers. The Dodgers

761
00:51:39.559 --> 00:51:44.079
get pissed them off. The Dodgers
pissed off the White Sox. Dodgers to

762
00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:47.800
the White Sox three three games in
a row. My dude, my dude,

763
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:52.559
my picture threw a shut out your
rookie deleet game. Shut out the

764
00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:57.800
rookie the first ones. It's like
twelve, it's been some ridiculous number.

765
00:51:58.679 --> 00:52:05.199
The first complete game, shut up
a Dodger pitcher in like years. I'm

766
00:52:05.239 --> 00:52:07.880
sorry, he couldn't stop talking about
the Dodgers. Gavin Stone, Okay,

767
00:52:08.480 --> 00:52:10.840
let's get out of his Dodger talk. All right, let's get that guy

768
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:14.440
to here. We're gonna come back. We've got breaking Is at the top,

769
00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:16.679
and then Laman Huntley. We're gonna
talk some football because I'm sick of

770
00:52:16.719 --> 00:52:21.360
talking Big twelve basketball already. So
we'll be right back. Stick around,
