And we couldn't wait for breaking 15 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.560 news on this one because it's kind of a big news because as Arizona ties 16 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.239 to it. But a former U of a player, a pretty good one. 17 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.400 Ruben Douglas passed away this week Wednesday. Kind of just made the news 18 00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:17.439 moments ago. Moments ago. Jeff Grammer, he used to work here at 19 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.239 at the Citizen, now works for the Albuquerque Journal, put it. Put 20 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:26.560 it up on social media that Ruben Douglas died at forty four. Yeah, 21 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.840 not that i'man just a very young man. Yeah, there's no detail in 22 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.040 terms of what other than somebody said it was a sudden health issue. He 23 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.680 had a he had a precurious career here one year. Let me tell you 24 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.640 the circumstances. So he come from he comes came from La a very good 25 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.280 player, can score right right. So he comes in with with the guys 26 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.640 and and he has a pretty good first year. His dad, he was 27 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.120 one of he had one of those dads that was here a lot to watch 28 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.599 him, to sit with louton why isn't my son playing a lot? So 29 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.439 so the second year, guess who shows up? Give her to Renas, 30 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.240 give her a Renas actually messed with the lineup a little because the Iowa kid 31 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.520 who got in the car crash I was opening he you think he very very 32 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.439 ballyhooed Iowa kid. He had gotten the car crash and he scared Arena scared 33 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.319 him away too. So this is like two thousand and one is two thousand 34 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.199 and two thousand and one because the Arenas was a sophomore in two thousand and 35 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:30.199 one, right, right, So it was the ninety nine and two thousand 36 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.080 years. So Reuben decided to go and he loved to shoot, so he 37 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.520 went to New Mexico and became the NCAA scoring champion I think his senior year, 38 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.319 right, right. So a heck of a player, a guy who 39 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.520 could score, A good guy, A good guy wanted to make it here, 40 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.199 but didn't give her to Renas kind of scared a couple of people away. 41 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.240 Well, and that happens, you know, it happens more now than 42 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.759 he used to, but it happened, right, So you know, guys, 43 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:58.520 because guys can come and go now. But you know he's he's from 44 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.479 out the Dina. He played three seasons for New Mexico from two thousand. 45 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.560 A star. He was a star there, who was a star there, 46 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:15.240 played played in Italy but this apparently, according to his Italian team said it 47 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.319 was a sudden health problem that was fatal to him a few days ago in 48 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.840 Costa Rica, which means, well he was I don't think he was playing 49 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:29.319 already, but here I've just been down there on his brother ramone and formed 50 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.000 the team. But nobody's been able to reach the brother since then. But 51 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.439 he was three times All Mountain West. He was the player of the Year 52 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.240 in two thousand and three, as Steve said, scoring champ n CUA A 53 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.680 scoring champ in two thousand and three. So a good basketball player was making 54 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.560 a living at it, and then suddenly he is gone, right right right, 55 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.199 no question. I had guessed when he said he died what I give 56 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:58.319 you forty and happened so fast. I mean, this is twenty four years 57 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.199 ago. Now, Well, like you said, yeah, unbelievable. Maybe 58 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.960 we'll talk more. Maybe get a call or two from somebody, from somebody 59 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.800 who, yeah, you know who did well. Jason Gardner would have known. 60 00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.000 So maybe I'll text him real quick, maybe you can call him. 61 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.840 So let's talk real quick and we'll talk more about that later. Who's our 62 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.759 guest? All right, we have a guest, Brian Peterson Asydesert Swarm dot 63 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.199 com. Uh, we'll get Brian to fill us in on what we can 64 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.399 expect to see at the spring game tomorrow and what he's seen so far. 65 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.519 We've had some you know, different guys come in and talk about what they're 66 00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.079 seeing. Nothing extraordinary, right, Uh. We you know, we got 67 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:38.600 the team act injury the other day. Uh, but we really don't know 68 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.720 what it is, right, Legs reached an ankle or something because he's in 69 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.000 a boot in a boot, so they haven't really filled us in on what 70 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.000 that might be. I'm sure somebody will ask after the after the after the 71 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.439 spring game tomorrow, h Bran Brandon Hask come out and said that they're gonna 72 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.639 be very careful about making sure that they don't you know, they got to 73 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.839 come out of as healthy. It's very important that they do. We get 74 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.759 that. My my comment on that was, well, then if you're gonna 75 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.800 have a spring game, but you're not gonna play your guys and don't charge 76 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:12.079 people to come to the spring game because it's a five bucks or ten bucks, 77 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.920 ten bucks, ten bucks, Well, the guys, we didn't there's 78 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.399 something we didn't talk about this week when we we we heard mister click and 79 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.560 Uhberta Love is they just so proper About four thousand tickets for right that's making 80 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:25.480 available. I don't know how people get their hands on them, right, 81 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.519 Yeah, they made a public public early yesterday, but I'm not sure. 82 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.519 Yeah, you know, and if they want a crowd ticket, look and 83 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.120 there, they aren't gonna there. I can't remember the last time there were 84 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.360 four thousand people at the spring game, right, So so it's probably plenty. 85 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.759 If you don't want to pay for a ticket, then you you don't 86 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.319 need to, uh, probably if you go and figure out where you can 87 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.519 get these tickets. But you know, it's coming up tomorrow. You know, 88 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:46.959 Steve and I haven't able to go to any of the practices because of 89 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.439 because they practiced during our show. So it'll be the first time, you 90 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.160 know, we get an in person look at them. So I'm interested to 91 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.199 see what that's gonna look like. Yeah, no, it's gonna be it's 92 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.959 gonna be a little no one, it's got I think it's gonna be the 93 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:00.519 weather, it's gonna be nice. Yeah, tomorrow, Terreneur. Now it's 94 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.720 at six o'clock. You know, we'll get there at six o'clock. See 95 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.759 what happens. Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see much much like you 96 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:12.519 said, or even much difference than we saw last year in terms of what 97 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.759 they're doing scheme schematically and all that, right, and what we were able 98 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.480 to write about. Yeah, well, and you know people say that, 99 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.000 you know, the one the one area where the offense looks different. There's 100 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.519 a lot of motion in the offense. Guys moving around, you know, 101 00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.879 players going in motion, a lot of that kind of stuff, a lot 102 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.079 of movement whatever that means in terms of, you know, what it does 103 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:38.560 for what they do. But you know, we'll see. But I think 104 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.240 you're you're right, you're well, and they're saying defensively, they're more aggressive, 105 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.720 you know, they're blitzing more. That the line isn't just trying to 106 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.160 hold ground, they're actually trying to penetrate and rush. And so we'll just 107 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:53.120 see what all that looks like. But it's it's always hard to tell what 108 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.600 you're seeing when you see sure active situation like this, sure and it's it's 109 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:01.800 what is it? It's it's April. Nothing happens till some football. Yeah, 110 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.160 that's all I have. I'll break up the other one, like you 111 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.199 know what, I don't want to talk about the other. So we'll talk 112 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.879 you about that later, I don't, I know, I have it in 113 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.160 you. You'll talk no, no, because we already mentioned that guy kid. 114 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.439 Well, maybe there's something away from him. Okay, okay, So 115 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.480 what else the draft last night? You might have some stuff from maybe not, 116 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.720 but it was it was, it was. I watched some of it. 117 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.720 It was kind of interesting. And when I came in before the show, 118 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.839 you right away the first conversation we had was Michael Panix, Michael Panis 119 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.959 and he got drafted high way higher. I mean, there was a lot 120 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.920 of talk that he might not even go in the first round, and then 121 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.800 he goes eight, number eight, He goes eight to a team. But 122 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:48.279 then he goes to a team, the Falcons, who just spent a fortune 123 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.000 on the quarterback they got Kirk Cousins, gave one hundred million dollar contract, 124 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:58.560 a three year contract, and it's like, okay, is this you know? 125 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.040 And then you were you're here on social media? Is that they didn't 126 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.000 really tell him what they were going to do. They kind of just did 127 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.439 it. You mean Cousins Cousins. Yeah, right, I saw this. 128 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.360 I saw that. I was did they say why they did it? Uh? 129 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.959 Watching Dan Patrick this morning, he said he had a source who told 130 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.959 him that. The belief was that, you know, Panis will sit for 131 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:26.800 a couple of years. You know, by the time the kirk Cousins contract 132 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.959 runs out, he's thirty nine years old. He's thirty six now, so 133 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:31.679 they're saying that, you know, maybe after a year two or you know, 134 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.039 they'll give him a chance to that. They didn't want to pass on 135 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.840 him because he's going to be really good. Sure, the Falcons gave him. 136 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.279 There's an opt out where they can get out of the contract after two 137 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.440 years. Yeahs. Yeah, and they thoughts being there at eight they won't 138 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.919 get another opportunity right like that if they wanted to get their quarterback. Now, 139 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.799 give him a couple of years to get ready, and then when kirk 140 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.679 Cousins gets much older, they you know, they move on. That makes 141 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.679 sense. But let me go here with you guys. So we've seen this 142 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.360 before with Brett Favre. We've seen this with with Rogers and Rodgers. Right, 143 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.279 what's the what's there ego so fragile that they worry about this when they're 144 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.240 the best guy on the team and and they're gonna be the starter no matter 145 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.360 what, Why would you even worry about it? Okay, cool, I 146 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.320 have an apprentice. I can teach him how to be me or whatever. 147 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.000 And but everybody makes some funny big how many? How many quarterbacks? So 148 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.039 have we seen? You know? The star quarterback is. I don't want 149 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.159 to be anybody's mentors. I just want to play. What the hell you're 150 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.919 getting paid one hundred and eighty million to do this? Woe is me? 151 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.759 Yeah, just do it, Just do it? So, I mean, 152 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.200 this threw me back to the movie Draft Day. Do you just see the 153 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:45.960 movie Draft Day? The whole thing with the quarterback. He was bo Callahan, 154 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.960 bo Callahan who was going to be the you know, he was heismo 155 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.080 Trophy when the consensus number one pick, and and and have you seen the 156 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.480 movie? No, man, just go on with the start. You're gonna 157 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.440 spoil it for to what Jennifer Garner alone, it's worth it watching them. 158 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.799 Okay, okay, but the plot, one of the subplots of the of 159 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:07.960 the well not the main plot of the of the movie, is that you've 160 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:13.000 got this quarterback sitting there, Kevin Costner, who's the GM. It's the 161 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.679 Cleveland Browns makes a deal for the number one pick. They don't really need 162 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.120 a quarterback they've got a pretty good quarterback, but they don't need one. 163 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.039 But he made he made the deal, and then the existing quarterback loses his 164 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:30.159 mind trashes Kevin Cosker's office. What years twenty fourteen, So this happened before, 165 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.759 right after the Brett Favre, well after, way after the Brett Farr 166 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.159 thing. Yeah, and that way after away before the Rogers. So this 167 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.240 whole movie takes place on draft day, so it's from the morning when Kevin 168 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.759 Costner makes his deal and then you know, well, I won't I want 169 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.720 uhpoil it. I won't spoil it. Somebody else might be listening. There's 170 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.600 twenty years old. The gist of the movie is though, that there's this 171 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.879 quarterback and this the existing quarterback loses his mind because he thinks they're gonna draft 172 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.000 this, you know, this stud quarterback. And then I won't tell you 173 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.320 who goes on after that, but it's kind of like, Okay, you 174 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.720 got the star quarterback. He's really good, but you're going to go get 175 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:09.759 another quarterback and all the little things that go with that. Yeah, Okay, 176 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.919 I guess it's agreement. I mean, you remember Brett Favre didn't didn't 177 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.399 want to you know, what And then who's the other one the Ryan Tannehill 178 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:20.759 who said I'm not you know, I'm not here to be somebody's men part. 179 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.320 That's another one. You know. That was another guy that's most recently. 180 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.039 Yeah, that was that was more recent. So you know, who 181 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:31.759 knows. But you know, it doesn't make it makes I think it's one 182 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.519 of the big issues with it though, is that Michael Pennix is already I 183 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.399 think twenty six years old, but I think he's twenty four, and he'll 184 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:45.559 be twenty six twenty six when he gets is he yes, Yeah, you're 185 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.720 just saying because then then Panix will have to suffer the faith of having somebody 186 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.279 younger come in and blah blah blah. Is it it's called isn't the okay? 187 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.080 What is the lion king about? That everybody has a successor? Yeah, 188 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.639 isn't it? Actually he's twenty two, he'll be twenty four in a 189 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.639 week. Jay, this is like this place. Eventually you and I are 190 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.799 be too old for this job and these two kids will come in and take 191 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.080 our job. It's just the way, you know. But the thing is 192 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.960 Steve Quarterbacks and this is the conversation we had with with Pat Finley, you 193 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.120 know, weeks ago, not when it was on yesterday or day before. 194 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.960 You say that. You know, a quarterback, when you draft a quarterback, 195 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.440 you bring him in. They're twenty one, twenty two years old. 196 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.120 Then they take a couple of years and now they're only twenty four. They're 197 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.240 basically losing two years, you know, by you know, with Michael Panix, 198 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.639 and let's say, okay, he plays in. He's nice, He's 199 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.360 twenty six years old. In a couple of years, he's thirty. O 200 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.000 Kelly's old. So how old cousins? Thirty four, thirty six? Well 201 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.840 he's he could be fragile too, and he's been he's coming off all right, 202 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:48.120 So there's your insurance. I mean, I don't think I have to 203 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.639 explain. If I'm the boss, I have to explain why he did. 204 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.679 Somebody who did make the comment though that Arthur Blank is what was Arthur Blank 205 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:56.759 thinking? And then somebody said, well, Arthur Blank might not even be 206 00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.120 alive by the time Pennis plays, right. I mean, I thought that 207 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.200 was a little cheap, yeah, but maybe he so I repeated it, 208 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:11.639 and I'm the jerk? Was I'm the jerk? Okay? Well about yeah, 209 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.600 Okay, remember that guy. Remember I'm happy for Michael Panis, Okay, 210 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.519 because because he really he got he got entirely shafted on the Heisman Trophy, 211 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.399 just totally. And then I've made you know, I've made the point. 212 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.840 I've made it inhering to everybody else who I've who, I've gone off 213 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.679 on this that if Michael Pennix was the LSU quarterback and Jade and Daniels was 214 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.600 the Washing quarterback, Michael Penix would have won the trophied because it was all 215 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.799 about the fact that Jade and Daniels would It was at LSU, not about 216 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.639 the fact that he was a better quarterback than Michael pan And numbers be be 217 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.639 damned right, numbers. And you know what my my surprise pick was Bonnicks. 218 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.080 And you know how much I liked ten before before the PAC twelve finished, 219 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.279 because I really liked in Oregon and he finished, he finished tenth, 220 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.759 number ten, number twelve. Well, okay, you're asking me how lot 221 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:00.120 that's how much I watched when all the when all six quarterbacks were gone on 222 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.000 they said, okay, that's what I was interested in seeing. I should 223 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.679 have kept watching to see. You know, when Jordan Morgan got drafted, 224 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.559 which which he did, which is good for him as well, a couple 225 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:13.720 of spots higher than projecting he was hit projected. Yeah, and so he's 226 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.159 gone on to good for him, just one of the few from the two 227 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.679 cents. And now comes the waiting game for all the guys whom now who 228 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.639 just don't know right, who just don't know you're going to get drafted or 229 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.480 not. All these guys who got drafted in the first round, they all 230 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.919 knew they were going to get drafted at some point, you know. Yes, 231 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.919 some of them were word, I'm not going to go in the first 232 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.039 or second round or whatever. But all the first round picks knew they were 233 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.879 getting drafted. Now you can start going to guys who I don't know. 234 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.200 You know, say a guy who's projected in the second round thinks I could 235 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.279 fall to the fourth, fourth or fifth round. So that'll be interesting. 236 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:48.720 Okay, So let's get out of here and get ahold of Brian all right, 237 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.200 and we'll talk to some spring game we can expect to see to borrow. 238 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.240 All right, we'll be right back.

We have Brian Peterson from Hazy Desert Swarm dot 311 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.240 com. Brian, how you doing, I'm great? Thanks you to be 312 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.000 back. Sure, sure are you loosening up for tomorrow's game? And you're 313 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.119 you're not injured? Right, You're gonna play? Uh? I am day 314 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:19.799 to day? Have you Have you had any little procedures? Yes, that's 315 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:25.720 part of getting older. And yeah, that's what my doctor recommends. This 316 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.960 is it not that he'd like to discuss on the radio? Okay, so 317 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.440 what do you think we're going to see tomorrow? I think Jay's already disheartened 318 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.400 that it's just going to be as simple simple scrimmage or a simple practice. 319 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:44.359 Yeah. I mean we we got spoiled. I think these last three years 320 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:48.640 under Jetfish, where the Spring game became this massive spectacle with a lot of 321 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:56.559 uh all around, and then I mean it kind of mass the fact that 322 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.519 it was just a boring game that really had no substance to it. This 323 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:04.759 there's there's no kind of hiding that that this is just hey, come watch 324 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:11.319 us practice and it'll be on TV and nothing really matters and nothing really counts 325 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.279 and a lot of people are going to play, but hey, let's all 326 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:19.039 feel good about team going into summer. Well, okay, so I mean 327 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:23.400 it is it is what it is, But from from what you've seen at 328 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.519 practice. You know, are you surprised by anything? Does it all look 329 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:30.440 kind of like it always looks? Well? What do you what have you 330 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.400 seen and what should we be looking for tomorrow? Who should we keep an 331 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.880 eye on. I guess yeah, I mean I think it's it's gone the 332 00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.400 way it expected. I mean, you've got a new coaching staff, you 333 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.720 have a lot of the same players, so you kind of want to see 334 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:52.039 how these coaches are using the existing talent and and veterans and experience and whatnot. 335 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.039 Because the last time we had a situation like this where a coach took 336 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:02.079 over a team with with returning talent, there was a lot of mismanagement and 337 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.400 trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, if you will. 338 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.680 And I don't think that that's been the case here. Where as much as 339 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.200 Brent Brennan and his offensive staff are bringing over stuff from San Jose, they're 340 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:19.640 not trying to make Arizona play San Jose's offense. They're trying to see how 341 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:26.960 Arizona their offense can sit with the players that Arizona has there. And the 342 00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:33.480 defensive side is more like what can dwayna Quina do to build off of what 343 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.480 Johnny Manson had done with maybe some extra layers of aggression that have been mentioned 344 00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:42.680 by some of the coaches. So when there is scrimmage part, it'll be 345 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.240 fun to see how this kind of looks like. If anyone who hasn't been 346 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.960 out to a practice throughout the spring, they may be surprised to see that 347 00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.359 there's a lot of tight ends on the field, that there's going to be 348 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.119 a lot of times where there's two on the field, and that doesn't necessarily 349 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.279 just mean a run play, which you didn't see a lot last here. 350 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.319 And then on the defensive side, I think you're going to see more blitzing 351 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:11.079 than you had seen from Manson, more like Don Brown in the first year 352 00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.640 under Jedfish And so those are kind of some of the things that I would 353 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.359 be looking for. So did anybody impress you in the first fourteen practices, 354 00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.160 because you know, you go when you see him, So did you did 355 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:29.400 anything get highlighted? I was mostly looking at some of the newer guys, 356 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.720 like a Tray Myth, who is one of the five or so guys that 357 00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:36.839 came over from San Jose. He's a defensive end. He's kind of in 358 00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.960 that Taylor Upshaw Mold and he'll be starting right there on the defensive line on 359 00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:47.000 the edge. Same with Chuba Mai, the big transfer on the interior from 360 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.440 UC Davis. They really like him and he could take up a lot of 361 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:56.799 space. That's the area that I'm most concerned about is the defensive line, 362 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:03.599 since they lost so many players from that. I I was also impressed just 363 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.000 kind of with how the overall running back rotation worked and how how good speedy 364 00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:14.079 Luke looked as maybe not the primary back, but he's the guy that has 365 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.240 the most experienced here at Arizona with Arizona, and that this is his opportunity 366 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.240 to kind of step up. And uh he's small, he's very fast, 367 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.279 and and and I think he can be very effective if you used the right 368 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.960 way. So, you know, when you when you were talking about the 369 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.720 line and whatnot, you know, my mind you know goes to the you 370 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.079 know, to the linebackers. You know Jacob Manu, who who had such 371 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.799 a you know, a big role last year. Uh, you know those 372 00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:48.079 kinds of guys. Is it is that going to be the defense last year 373 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.319 seemed to rely so much on those guys. What you know is that are 374 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.480 we're talking the same kind of thing this year, or as you say, 375 00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.599 are we going to see them being you know, much more aggressive justin Flow 376 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.640 coming in and you know, having more of an impact than maybe we saw 377 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.799 last year some of those guys. Yeah, Flow is still a wild card, 378 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:08.599 like how they're going to end up using him. Danny Gonzalez, the 379 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.960 linebacker's coach, spoke yesterday and mentioned a lot about trying to be real simple 380 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.000 with what they want from him so that he isn't asked to do too much 381 00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:23.319 and kind of find a specific thing. Justin Spears from the Star has kind 382 00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.519 of joked that they a couple of times that they just need to make him 383 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.039 almost like a Bobby Bouchet from the Water Boy, where he's just somebody who's 384 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:34.599 rushing the passer and that's all he needs focus on and put all that energy 385 00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.119 into that. Maybe that's something they'll use with that. I know that Danny 386 00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:44.000 really really loves Jacob Manu. He referred to him as the best linebacker in 387 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:47.839 the Big twelve multiple times yesterday. And he's going to be the guy on 388 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.839 the defense that is going to be wearing the communication with the coaches in his 389 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.599 helmet. So he's going to be the quarterback out there on defense, but 390 00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:03.480 I think when you also have a very veteran secondary, they're going to be 391 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.000 heavily reliant on that. With this Star's position and just in general, all 392 00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.839 the defensive backs that have returned, I think they're going to be asked to 393 00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:17.200 do a lot, and while this defensive line figures itself out, it's going 394 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:22.000 to put that pressure on the back seven or eight to do more. Alongly, 395 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.000 you're talking about the players, what did you find out about Brennan? 396 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:33.680 If anything? I mean, he's very laid back and like he's just he's 397 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:41.000 more concerned with coaching football and knowing his players than trying to present any sort 398 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:47.839 of an outward image to get people interested in the program. Now, he 399 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.680 benefits from the fact that Jetfish did a great job of getting people to pay 400 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.799 attention to Arizona with all of the things he did, for better or worse 401 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.079 during his three years, so that people were paying attention. So he doesn't 402 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.559 have to try to be like, hey, watch what we're doing and try 403 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.559 to do things that get people to notice. He's able to just kind of 404 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.759 focus on this and I think that he's worked a lot. Him and his 405 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:17.480 staff on just trying to have relationship with these players. That Danni Gonzalez even 406 00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:22.240 mentioned this yesterday that the spring was kind of an audition for the coaches to 407 00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.400 the players. That these players who all decided to stick around after Fish left, 408 00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.319 they didn't really do it because of this new coaching staff. They did 409 00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.559 it because of the brotherhood and the connections they had. But they still need 410 00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:37.640 to trust the coaching staff, and so I think Brennan and his staff have 411 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:45.759 really tried to make the players feel like they matter to them and that not 412 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.079 have second thoughts and lead after the spring, like you're seeing across college football, 413 00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:53.680 guys that from January to April their mind change. Well to your point, 414 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.079 you know, Jeded had to come in and sell the program because nobody 415 00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.960 really you know, had gotten so bad that you know, there are twenty 416 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.039 five thousand people at the game, so that yeah, I mean Brennan, 417 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:06.519 you know, he yeah, he gets the benefit of that. He doesn't 418 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:08.440 have to do that. They'll get forty forty five thousand at their games now 419 00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:11.359 because they were good, right, they were good last year. People expect 420 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.000 him to be good again this year. So yeah, I mean it makes 421 00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:17.559 sense that he would say, okay, we just got to coach these guys 422 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.880 now and keep you know, you keep winning, people keep coming and that'll 423 00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:22.559 be fine and you don't have to, you know, do all the extra 424 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.039 stuff that the jedfish doesn't. And I like you give him total credit for 425 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.000 having done that. He really brought the program, you know, back to 426 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:32.279 a point for people in this town. Gave a crap about it, but 427 00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:37.640 now now not becomes again goes back to being about winning games. So get 428 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:40.599 back to the tight end. If Brent wins, that's really all that's gonna 429 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:45.039 matter. With Jed. He had to give people a reason to stick around 430 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.799 while they got to where they could win, right, And who knows what 431 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.720 it would have been this season if there hadn't been all those changes. But 432 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.880 Brennan is more a matter of there's a little bit of a hey, don't 433 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.839 think that it's all gone because of these changes. But also so just just 434 00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.680 wait and watch and you'll see that we're going to put a good product. 435 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:06.440 Is kind of the way that they're doing it, rather than I have to 436 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:08.920 do all these bells and whistles to get you just to look at us. 437 00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:11.079 Yeah, exactly, let's go back to the tight ends real quick. I 438 00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.759 was gonna ask about KEYM Burnett, is he sort of? Is he the 439 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:17.680 main guy? Or do they said they have a bunch of tight ends? 440 00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.279 How many? How many are they playing? And who are they? Well? 441 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:26.240 Kim Burnett and Roberto Miranda, the kid from Germany who's been here for 442 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:30.319 gosh, I think five years or so, are probably going to be if 443 00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:33.720 they if they start to it would be those two. And it as far 444 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.920 as who would be the one that would get the most touches in a in 445 00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:41.400 a passing situation, you would have to think it would be Burnett, considering 446 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.839 that the pedigree that he came in here with with his past catching skills. 447 00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:51.000 But Miranda, from what I've understood and what I've seen, he has shown 448 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:55.880 a nice knack in that area as well. Beyond that, you have Tyler 449 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:00.319 Powell, who has been here for two years. You have the freshman Dylan 450 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.279 Tapley, who could be involved in that. They just added a kid from 451 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:10.319 San Jose, sam Olsen, who was over with Brennan and had some touchdowns 452 00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:14.759 this past year that position. I believe he said they had an all conference 453 00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.079 or all Conference honorable mentioned tight end almost every year he was at San Jose. 454 00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:23.960 So that's a position that's going to matter in not just being a guy 455 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:29.200 that blocks. I mean, you were even seeing times where they'd have two 456 00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:32.559 tight ends and then one of them would go in motion and line up in 457 00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:37.240 the backfield to serve almost as a fullback. And they've mentioned the tight ends 458 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.680 coach has mentioned that you want to be able to run and pass out of 459 00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.279 that formation because then defenses can't just be like, Okay, there's two tight 460 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.920 ends. This is a rough In addition to the Brennan stuff, what did 461 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:55.079 you what's your impressions of the assistance too, because last year, in the 462 00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:59.920 last couple of years, we kind of became close to the assistance. Yea. 463 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.480 The group that Brennan has brought in the offense is with the exception of 464 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.880 Bobby Wade and Dino babers At, like the O line coach and the tight 465 00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:12.240 ends coach and the runnings backs coach are guys that he brought over from San 466 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:17.960 Jose and they kind of fit the same with him where they they're just you 467 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:21.359 know, they're they're focused on trying to improve these guys and not be into, 468 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.279 you know, do anything sort of flashy. Bobby Wade looks like a 469 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:30.160 rising star in this game. This is his first full time coaching position. 470 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.240 He was an analyst at ASU. He's he's got great insight because he's played 471 00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.559 the game both at the college and pro level, and seems to have a 472 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.839 really good connection with all these receivers who have the same kind of goals as 473 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:48.720 him and Dino Babers being a guy who had been around it's Dino probably gave 474 00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:53.920 me maybe the weirdest vibe early on in that he's been around for so long 475 00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:56.680 and he's a guy who's just been a head coach for like seven years. 476 00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:04.079 And he he said something early on in the spring where he's like he wants 477 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.200 to help get Brennan to his next contract, which struck me as kind of 478 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:13.240 a weird thing that like he's really looking at this as a way to try 479 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:16.519 to help somebody that he knew from the past. I don't know how long 480 00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:21.440 he'll be around here. I can't see this being like something he would want 481 00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:23.680 to do for ten years. I think he would probably want to be a 482 00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:30.720 head coach again, but he as long as he doesn't, you know, 483 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.559 try to turn Noah Fafida and t mac and all these guys into a certain 484 00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.279 type of offense that they that they're not used to. I think everything should 485 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:42.359 be fine on that. On the defensive side, having Duyna Kina be the 486 00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.200 defensive coordinator, it's just taking all that energy he showed last year and now 487 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:51.359 putting it around everybody. Danny Gonzalez is a hoot as the linebackers coach. 488 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:54.680 That man has so much energy. Another guy who used to be a head 489 00:32:54.720 --> 00:33:00.200 coach, but seems like he's very thankful to be given this opportunity after New 490 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:04.079 Mexico decided that they were going to move on from him after a few years, 491 00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.599 and he's kind of looking at this as my chance to start over and 492 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:12.279 do something great. And all the other guys. The defensive line coach he 493 00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.839 came over from from San Jose and the guys they've gotten the dB area. 494 00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:22.400 Everyone seems like they're they're really connecting well with these players. So even though 495 00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:24.960 it's been only three months that they've known each other or I've gotten to know 496 00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:29.599 each other, I feel like they they're enjoying their time with each other. 497 00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:34.000 So Ryan, that was a very long We went fast along with his football 498 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.000 baseball. You've covered some teams before. We still don't know how good this 499 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.200 team is, even though it's good. So tell me. They look really 500 00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:43.960 good right now, but didn't look good at the beginning of the year. 501 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:49.359 What do we have Early in the season, when they were playing a lot 502 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:54.200 of really good teams in the non conference and losing but losing close, they 503 00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:58.160 looked like a team that was young and still hadn't figured out how they were 504 00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.640 going to do this. Now over gosh, the past month, they've gone 505 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:06.640 fifteen and one. They're only lost by one on the road at Grand Canyon, 506 00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:10.280 which is a good team. They've looked like they're completely unbeatable. They 507 00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:15.360 haven't played the best teams during that stretch. But the fact is they're just 508 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.000 winning all of these games, and now all these young hitters are starting to 509 00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:23.639 find their roles. The pitching has been great the entire season. They've got 510 00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:28.960 one of the best eras and some of the best pitching numbers in the country. 511 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:31.800 And now they suddenly find themselves not just in first place in the Pac 512 00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.159 twelve, but two games ahead of everybody else with four weeks ago, and 513 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:42.199 they're even projected to be hosting an NCAA regional by at least one outlet. 514 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.599 It seems like it came out of nowhere, but you could kind of see 515 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:51.800 the fruits of this or the potential of this early on when they were playing 516 00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:57.440 close against good teams. This is sort of a detailed question, but I've 517 00:34:57.480 --> 00:35:00.880 seen Clark Candiotti pitch a couple of times. I saw I went to their 518 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:05.840 Friday night game last week. Is who's the best? Is Clark Ken? 519 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:08.119 Yet it looks like the best picture to me? Is he or and he's 520 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.760 just a Saturday guy? Or is there Friday Night starter? I can't I 521 00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:15.639 couldn't even tell you his name. Is he? You know? Jackson Jackson 522 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:20.039 Kent the Friday guys. He's the best pro prospect of the three because he's 523 00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:24.079 a third year sophomore. He'll probably get drafted and probably signed. The other 524 00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:29.599 two are seniors who are out of eligibility, who are really good college pitchers. 525 00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:34.639 I think that Candiotti has a shot because he's shown a lot this year. 526 00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.039 Whereas Cam Walky, the Sunday guy. Someone might give him a chance 527 00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:40.800 as like a rookie free agent kind of thing, but you don't have that 528 00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:45.159 leverage. Jackson Kent, by being a leftie who has a very good fastball, 529 00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:51.719 an excellent change up, he's been able to dominate, and posting a 530 00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:55.159 sub three r A three e r A on Friday nights and college baseball when 531 00:35:55.199 --> 00:36:00.599 they're using metal bats is really really something to be set for what he's done. 532 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.000 Yeah, I'm a little parts of the Candy Yatti because his dad, 533 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:09.639 his dad was a Dodger, so that's all that matters. Yeah, I'm 534 00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:13.119 tired of hearing Dodgers, so we better say you good do that bye, 535 00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.719 Brian. Hey, thanks a bunch for saving us today.

Twenty five chapters for his twenty five years 549 00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:00.000 as Arizona's beloved coach, Lessons from Luton, there's an insight to how he 550 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:06.159 built the program into a national powerhouse.

I mean, I slip once in a 587 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:55.920 while, but mostly I'm not, you know, he says, we've when 588 00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:01.400 he's talking about Yeah, yeah, I say we He's okay, he's not 589 00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:07.039 official yet, not got my you've identified yourself as you know, I'm I'm 590 00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.880 a fan of the that I am, but I still but you know what, 591 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:14.639 Steve, you know, you know when I really is is a true 592 00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:19.440 thing. I pretty much stopped saying we about we Arizona when I mean when 593 00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:22.400 I covered the teams, right, and then it's kind of I never came 594 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:25.280 back like once in a while it you know, I will, but for 595 00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:30.159 the most part in the conversation, like when I go to my Wednesday lunch 596 00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:30.920 with these guys that are we this, we that, we this, we 597 00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:36.199 that, and I'm like you you and who you know? You know and 598 00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:38.880 and I kind of don't. It's it's it's just a thing. Yeah, 599 00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:42.960 Okay. It feels uncomfortable for me to say that, do we Yeah, 600 00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.599 partly because we I'm not on the field. I'm not one of those guys, 601 00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.400 right, Like my son says, we about the forty nine ers all 602 00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:52.159 the time, We this and we that. Okay, I mean I don't 603 00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:54.599 I don't, you know, criticize anybody for it. I'm just saying I 604 00:40:54.719 --> 00:41:00.840 don't for the most part. Okay, well we will move on. Said 605 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.000 we had ten minutes. Anybody want to call, please do five to zero 606 00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:08.440 four one six seventy four four zero. We'd like to hear from you. 607 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:15.519 I try to reach out to to Ruben Ruben two. I'm sorry to know 608 00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:20.079 to Jason Gardner. See, I went through Nate and I asked Jason directly 609 00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:22.840 because he was a former teammate of his back in two thousand. Yeah, 610 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.400 and I haven't heard back. I doubt if I'll hear back from him, 611 00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:30.320 but we'll also get We also reached out to Jeff Grammar, who was working 612 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:34.280 the story at New Mexicano. Uh and just because just to talk about how 613 00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.519 he was like a in New Mexico. If you're that guy, you don't 614 00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:40.239 have to pay for air big time, you're a big dude. Yeah, 615 00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:44.840 and he was that guy back back in the day, especially when you're that 616 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.320 good. So we'll talk to him about this year and ask him what the 617 00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:52.920 hell Mexicano could have beaten Clemson and the trajectory for Arizona would have been a 618 00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:57.199 little bit better had they beat Clemson. Did you see also too, I 619 00:41:57.199 --> 00:42:00.519 don't want. I don't think you'll have this. Clemson's team is is gone 620 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:05.400 and it's like decimated. Right, some more people have jumped so like three 621 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:08.360 war to day or whatever, and some guys already graduated. So that team 622 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:13.039 you saw, well every team is decimated, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, 623 00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:20.159 so any starter start back Caleb Love is maybe they don't have. If 624 00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:22.800 Caleb Love comes back, you would be the starter back. It's a whole 625 00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:27.599 new team and it's no different from anybody else right there. Yeah, okay, 626 00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:30.440 all you people who are losing your minds over there? Right? I 627 00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:32.920 saw Patricia who does she's a big fan, she's a friend of mine. 628 00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.320 She's projecting lineups and she's doing all this and she's like the rest of them, 629 00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:43.639 it's only April. What are you doing? Hey, they're they're they're 630 00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:47.679 projected to be eighth in the country. Right, you're the start? Yeah, 631 00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:54.280 who's the we? We? Who's who's even gonna be on the dang 632 00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:59.159 team? Right? Did you go to games Adham for football? No? 633 00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.920 Basketball? Yeah? I assume that's gonna be your your most miss thing that 634 00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:09.480 you're not gonna be gone probably right? And one I'm sure went two games 635 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:14.159 too. So you'll have one more year of we'll see what they have next 636 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:20.280 year. Yeah, it's anybody's guess. Sure, sure, I mean, 637 00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:22.679 I mean, look, they've got some players that you think, you know, 638 00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:24.920 can be a good, solid core of tream. So let me let 639 00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:28.599 me give you this test, because I want to write something about the basketball 640 00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.840 situation. I'm gonna give you the chance. Well, if you're the columnist 641 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:35.880 right now today, what are you gonna write? What would you write about 642 00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:38.320 the basketball team? Yes? I right, everybody, calm down, Yes, 643 00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.679 that's exactly You have the other story. There's no there is no other 644 00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:45.599 story. Just just calm down, wait it out, believe. Let Tommy 645 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:49.119 put his team together and then you can say whatever you want. But even 646 00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.519 then you still don't know. I mean, how much did we know about 647 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:55.719 that team at the beginning of the year. Who wasn't stunned when they went 648 00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:59.559 to beat Duke, right, because you thought that all these new guys, 649 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.639 Yeah they umar they had they had they had Palla Larson. But you know, 650 00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.000 Keisha Johnson had been in the final four, hed been in the final 651 00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:08.960 four count and Boso had been pretty good, but he didn't start, you 652 00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:12.880 know, his freshman year for the most part, what did we know? 653 00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.480 Well, this time last year, what do we know? We knew that 654 00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:20.480 we know people were saying Tommy cam do his job. Yeah, Tommy sucked 655 00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:23.159 at his job, right, yes, and he should be he should be, 656 00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:27.480 he should be fired to get after all those wins and all that, 657 00:44:27.519 --> 00:44:31.599 and you said, god, relax, relax. I think some of those 658 00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:37.519 guys went away. Yeah, as they should just go away. Okay, 659 00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:39.840 just go away? Okay? Uh? Anything else? We have a lot 660 00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:44.679 of breaking news, yeah, pretty much. I have one that you guys 661 00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:46.960 haven't heard yet, which is kind of shocking to me. But we'll go 662 00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:52.280 there when we go there. Okay, Uh what else? Tickets? I'm 663 00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:58.480 sure many are available for tomorrow, right you know what a favorite I'll figure 664 00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.840 out trying to figure out how you get how you get your hands on the 665 00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:06.519 loan on the spring, it'll be there'll be a story out there because I 666 00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:10.360 saw it on on Tucson dot com about where those some of those tickets are 667 00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:14.360 going. I think it's mostly for kids. I could be wrong, but 668 00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.559 there's gonna be a lot of tickets available to go see even if you're there 669 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:20.320 for a half, which most most of the time that's what they was able 670 00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:23.599 to do. Well, what one good thing is that is that you know 671 00:45:23.760 --> 00:45:28.360 it's not in the sun. You know, it's six o'clock, it should 672 00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:30.559 be should be really and still breezy and like it is today. Yeah, 673 00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:36.559 I'm still I'm still looking this up but not finding it. But you know, 674 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:40.400 if you look, if you're curious, you just go see, you 675 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:44.840 know, see what it looks like. Now, okay, now we will 676 00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:50.039 not he's not in They reported he had quote unquote a little procedure, but 677 00:45:50.119 --> 00:45:52.199 they just said on his leg. They didn't even tell us is it an 678 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.679 ankle? Is it a well apparent? Apparently? Apparently Brennan doesn't talk about 679 00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:59.880 injuries. But I think that he had to speak a little about there's some 680 00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.000 because it was very obvious. When your star players in a boot. You 681 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:05.920 gotta figure out what am I going to say? Yeah? So, and 682 00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:07.920 that's what he said yesterday. It was that's all you know, that's all 683 00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:14.000 we know. I'm not finding anything about how to get your hands on those 684 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:17.000 Did you go to Sun dot com now Son dot com? Something on there, 685 00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:21.000 one of those panels that says, silly me, I went to the 686 00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:23.079 U of a website. No, No, that that's the last place you 687 00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:28.679 go. That's the last place you go. You said you saw that they 688 00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.480 got to provost there, they got to provost. I guess the understudy, 689 00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:36.719 the second second man in command. I didn't know that they need to get 690 00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:37.960 a first thing command. Well not, yeah, they're not. Yeah, 691 00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:42.880 Bobby Robinson is not ready to go. So they got the second guy. 692 00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:46.039 And I guess there's already protests about the second guy. Can we all get 693 00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:49.679 along? Can we just get somebody a shot? I mean, what are 694 00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.159 they upset about? Well, apparently he didn't. He didn't test well with 695 00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:58.280 the with the power, with the faculty members that he spoke to about one 696 00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.280 hundred and something, so he was in the warm and fuzzy guy. What 697 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:07.159 did they just? Never mind? They may be some of your friends. 698 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:08.800 So you're gonna be quiet. I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna go. 699 00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:12.760 I'm not gonna do that. Hey, Evan, I'm the grumpy guy. 700 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:19.199 Remember this. Here's the here's the never mind. I'm not talking to 701 00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:22.760 you the rest of them. Okay, one more chance, five to two 702 00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:25.800 O four, one sixty. I hope you get a chance to give us 703 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:28.880 a call. I know we're gonna have breaking news, so you can call 704 00:47:28.960 --> 00:47:31.280 in that section two, and then we're gonna I'm still trying to get ahold 705 00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:35.599 of Jeff Grammar, so maybe he has a few minutes to talk about the 706 00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.679 Reuben Douglas thing. And then again at the end of the first second hour, 707 00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:43.280 we'll have open lines, uh to talk about anything else about the draft 708 00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:46.519 last night? Or or do you think anything will happen in the second round 709 00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:51.440 with anybody from you a going second? Well, second and third rounds are 710 00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:57.679 today? Has that even started? No? Four or five? I think 711 00:47:57.800 --> 00:48:04.440 probably, you know, as we talked yesterday, I think McLaughlin, Tanner, 712 00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:07.239 McLoughlin, that tight end. But I don't know where he's projected. 713 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:08.880 I didn't really I didn't see any Monk drafts beyond the first round, so 714 00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:13.440 I don't know if he's projected to go. You know, I think most 715 00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.840 of them are probably third day guys, you know, uh, the you 716 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:21.039 know, fourth through seventh rounds. But I think we'll see all three of 717 00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:23.440 those other guys draft because you were Jlan was shaking his head, what do 718 00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:30.960 you think? Just god, yeah, I think McLachlan today. Okay, 719 00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:35.840 okay, we remember this stuff, so we'll give you grief next time we 720 00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.639 see it. If people people are ready to forget what I didn't remember him, 721 00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:43.119 say that we remember. We don't remember ourselves what we say, but 722 00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:46.159 we will remember your kids say this, what about you, Adam for Tanner, 723 00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:52.800 for an anybody. I mean, I'm I'm still a little disappointed that 724 00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:57.400 the Chiefs got Exavier Worthy last night. I mean, he's the fastest guy 725 00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.920 in the draft. I saw that four point your little unhappy that he fell 726 00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:06.480 all the way to the chief and Buffalo U traded up out of the draft, 727 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:12.079 especially training your enemy. He's already challenging Hill for a race, right, 728 00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:17.039 Yeah, he has the all time record on the four point two. 729 00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:22.239 It's what he weighs like a buck, seventy buck, fifteen sixty five. 730 00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.239 I was sixty five. I wanted to save and say yesterday the ball only 731 00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:30.159 weighs thirteen ounces. But he ca'll be okay. You know, I was 732 00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:34.400 watching the you know, the ESPN thing with with with Nick Saban. I 733 00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:36.920 thought he was really good. Yea, he is. You know, he 734 00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:40.400 does have a person. I haven't heard much much in terms of what people 735 00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:45.239 thought of Bill Belichick. Uh was he on on the other cho was on 736 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:47.639 NFL Network, right network. Yeah, he was on with with Rich Eyesen 737 00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:53.960 and those guys. But you know, Saban was incredibly well spoken. He 738 00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:58.079 had a lot of really good analysis. You know, you know what I 739 00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:00.559 what I felt like, And I'm gonna have to get over the fact that 740 00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:06.239 I hated him so much at Alabama because of his his obnoxiousness and his I'm 741 00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:08.559 better than everybody kind of because he was well he was. I know he 742 00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:13.119 was, but I'm saying, but you know what I'm saying, But I 743 00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:15.920 liked him as an analyst because he was good. He was he was putting 744 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:22.119 things in a way that my brain could understand. When you know, they 745 00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:25.719 would be showing a clip of a guy and he's telling them what this guy 746 00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:29.920 is doing, I'm like, oh, you know, I just I felt 747 00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:35.119 like I learned a lot about what a coach sees and what we don't see. 748 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.719 He was talking about and strength and how guy. You know, they're 749 00:50:38.800 --> 00:50:43.599 like, he did a thing. There was attack, a right tackle, 750 00:50:44.840 --> 00:50:47.440 offensive time of the gut that got drafted. So then they were showing clips 751 00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:52.079 again he was showing how he was talking about leverage and staying in front of 752 00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:53.480 the guy and you know, all these things, and I'm like, Okay, 753 00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:58.440 I under I kind of felt like I understood that technique a whole lot 754 00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.360 more. And I'm looking for having him on game day. Jay, if 755 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:05.400 you were getting paid eleven million dollars here today, I would expect a lot 756 00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.440 of that stuff every day. But there are coaches that go on and try 757 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.000 and do this and they suck. You know, they're they're not they're not 758 00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:15.480 very heat. And this is the first time he's on this kind of you 759 00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:19.000 know, for this long and then you're writing this kind of and and he 760 00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:21.960 was really good. Yeah, no, he is gonna be good. The 761 00:51:22.039 --> 00:51:24.920 Belichick thing is gonna be interesting because he said two words in press commentary, 762 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:29.480 yes, no, whatever, but you know they have personalities otherwise, all 763 00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:32.119 right, let's hit our break top of the hour. Adam's coming back with 764 00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:35.800 breaking news. In the meantime, I'm gonna figure out how you get your 765 00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:38.280 hands on those, uh those spring game tickets, So stick around.
