00:00:02.359 --> 00:00:07.440

R two side at iHeart Radio Station. Good afternoon, and welcome Guy on

4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.160
the Ball. I'm your host,
Jay Gonzalez, my buddy Steve, who's

5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.600
normally here. I had to take
the day off. He's you had some

6
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.239
business up in Phoenix to day.
He will be back tomorrow. But I

7
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.359
brought in a Do I call you
a friend? I call you I don't

8
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.960
know what to call you because I've
known you since you were born. Our

9
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.840
family's very close friends. But it
is Danny Martinez, who's the director of

10
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:44.000
operations prayers on the softball, who's
agreed to come in and just hang out

11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.920
with me for a couple of hours. So I don't know what you call

12
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.679

that. Yeah. I think are
thirty hew old? Am I thirty three?

14
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.000
Thirty three years of knowing each other? Yes, Dan, you are.

15
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.520
You are older than I was and
I met you, so that's that's

16
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.959
scary to me. But but Danny, the long time a PA announcer Fairs

17
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.280
on a softball you'll hear his voice
it at all the games. But now

18
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.959
back is part of the softball program. And I know you were the sports

19
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.400
information director, but you were in
the communication off but now you are a

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.200
part of the softball staff. Yep, I mean, how cool is that?

21
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.239
Oh it's it's I mean dream come
true type stuff. You know.

22
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.760
I love that program. I worked
with it for ten years and just developed

23
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.719
such a huge passion for that program. And to be able to go back

24
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.760
as a member of that staff is
it's. It's it's really really great cool.

25
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.879
Yeah. Well, we're gonna talk
a little bit about your job and

26
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.280
what you do, and then uh, the program. They're they're in fall

27
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:44.280
practice right now, so we'll talk
about that a little bit later. But

28
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.879
I wanted to I wanted to get
into a lot of stuff we got going

29
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.560
on. First of all, we're
gonna have Jack McGruder here from Sports Betting

30
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.400
Dyeing dot Com. Jack and old
friend uh old uh uh Pier at the

31
00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.280
at the Zend Daily Star. He
he he works baseball games during the summer

32
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.280
as an official score scorekeeper. He
writes for Sportsbetting time dot Com. We'll

33
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.959
pick his brain about some of the
college stuff going on, and so he'll

34
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:09.680
be here at three fifteen. Then
at four fifteen, Bruce Pasco will be

35
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.199
in from the Arizona Daily Star.
We'll talk to him about while the Kona

36
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.879
Thread New showcase. Now it's not
just the Ridds, that's right, the

37
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.280
Red and Blue Showcase. Were you
a part of that? Market is because

38
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.560
you came out of marketing. Were
you a part of that? That was

39
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.879
one of the last things that I
was working on or working with, one

40
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:31.000
of the last things that we were
we were putting together when when I left.

41
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:36.280
So I was a part of it
initially, but I don't where it's

42
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.439
gone since I left. I'm not
one sure, but yeah, all right,

43
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.879
cool. So we'll talk about,
you know, just kind of some

44
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.360
expectations that we had a we had
a press conference with Tommy Lloyd earlier this

45
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.319
week, talked about some stuff.
But you know, what do we expect

46
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.840
from the game. There's some a
little bit of an I don't know if

47
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:54.360
you'd call it an uproar, but
there's some people who are unhappy that it's

48
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.759
not on that it's not on television
or streaming. We had Dave he could

49
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.039
explained that, yes, today,
but we'll just talk about the game coming

50
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.159
up. And I can't believe it's
not it's still September and we're talking and

51
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.800
there's actually gonna be guys on the
Court's crazy basketball. That's crazy. Yeah,

52
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.520
very nuts. So anyway, so
that's what we got going today.

53
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:15.520
But Jed Fish had a press conference
today to get ready for the for the

54
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.439
game on Saturday. Uh, he
had talked about a bunch of stuff.

55
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.280
There's the question of the quarterback.
Uh, you know, who's gonna play

56
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.240
quarterback. We don't have an answer
yet. We'll play some of that and

57
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.560
then just overall, you know,
the buzz of the game, you know,

58
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.639
and I mean, is is there
a buzz there? Has it been

59
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.759
a buzz around McHale over this game
or maybe the weekend because the Red Blue

60
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.439
as well. Yes, there is, yeah, big buzz around mcale right

61
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.800
now. This is a huge,
huge weekend, you know on campus,

62
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.960
just with everything between the Red Blue
game, the football game, family weekend.

63
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.280
So there's definitely, uh, you
know, you've felt it all week

64
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:51.800
I mean even starting Monday. We're
you know, now one day away from

65
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.879
the Red Blue game. So yeah, there's definitely a palpable buzz around around

66
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.960
mcale. Very cool. That's good
to hear. All Right, well,

67
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.400
we're gonna I'll just play Jed's introductory
remarks at the press conference just kind of

68
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.439
you know. He prefaced it as
he always does, about we need to

69
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.199
sell more tickets. He said,
they're two hundred fifty tickets short of a

70
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.680
sellout, but it wants the crowd
to be there. But then he got

71
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.960
into a little bit of you know
what we can expect to see. So

72
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.959
here's what do you have to say
at the start of the press conference.

73
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.839
Excited about the opportunity we have to
play these guys. I think it's a

74
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.639
very good football team that we have
coming in town. We have a very

75
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.360
good football team. And you know, it's a four and oh squad versus

76
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.000
a three and one squad, and
this is one of the type of games

77
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:39.680
that everybody looks forward to in college
football. Certainly our team does. Coach

78
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.879
the Board has done a great job
with his program. They've got some fantastic

79
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.480
players. I expect all of them
to play. It's gonna be a great

80
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.879
challenge and a great atmosphere. This
is uh, this is gonna be Saturday

81
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:56.759
night at its finest in the desert
and looking forward to seeing how well we

82
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.959
can play against what is a top
five ball team, you know, getting

83
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.600
back to that, you know,
the it's been a long time since we've

84
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.040
had one of these, Danny,
Yeah, I mean, you know,

85
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:09.839
we went we've gone through a rough
time with the football. I mean,

86
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.519
you know, you know for this
you game last year, there was but

87
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.160
you know it was because it was
the a SU game. You know,

88
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.480
they weren't going to a bowl game
or any of that. So but this

89
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.079
is a game that has meaning to
it and it's been it's the first one

90
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:24.600
in a long time. Yeah.
Just having that big game feel, I

91
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:29.079
mean that's something we've we've we've had
in McHale Center one hundred times in the

92
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.439
last you know, a few years, but we haven't had one in football

93
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.079
for a long long time. So
just to have that big game feel,

94
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:39.399
you know, when the fans or
when the team runs out of the out

95
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.839
of the tunnel tomorrow, the stands
will be packed and it's gonna just feel

96
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.639
different than I think it's felt in
a long time. So, yeah,

97
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.639
you're right, ASU was a little
bit different, But I think that doesn't

98
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.720
really qualify because they're all all the
games against but this one, I mean,

99
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.439
this has you know, Jed just
said it. You know, four

100
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.000
and overs three and one, this
is Arizona's one to know in the past

101
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.680
twelve. You know it might sound
small, but that that's a positive step

102
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.279
for us. So yeah, big
game. And it hurts my heart to

103
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:11.759
say they're three and one. But
and I mean going into the Mississippi State

104
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.240
game, you thought they had no
chance, right or that they probably weren't

105
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.279
going to win right now. Yes, yeah, it got into like the

106
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.279
third and fourth quarter and I was
thinking to myself, oh, we should

107
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.480
we should win this game. We
are the better team in this game.

108
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.759
And you know, just that on
the road, sec environment, whatever it

109
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.839
was that caused some missteps in the
first quarter. You change maybe just one

110
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:39.399
of those interceptions, and yes,
we are four no going into this game.

111
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:44.759
But regardless, you know, the
Pac twelve season starts now and we're

112
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.800
undefeated in the Pac twelve and it
would be great to be four and oh

113
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.959
but but three and ones were good
for this pretty good wit. You look,

114
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.319
we weren't going to be in the
playoff anyway, so you know,

115
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.720
they're undefeated in the league. So
obviously question number one, what's going on

116
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:01.519
with the quarterbacks? Jane Delora got
got hurt and in the start of the

117
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.360
fourth quarter last week, nor Feeder
came in game winning drive, did what

118
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.560
he needed to do. People are
excited about nor Fa Feeding got people saying

119
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.879
he should be the starter. You
know, I think Jed's gonna you know,

120
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.240
he's gonna go with with with uh
uh Jade, you know if he

121
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.879
can. But the question is can
he? So he answers that question.

122
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:27.160
Then the second part of this clip
asking you know, some coaches require you

123
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.279
to practice in order to play,
and he was asked that, you know

124
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.959
if Jayden, because he didn't mention
Jayden did not practice yesterday. Does a

125
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.800
guy have to practice to have a
chance to play. So here's the he's

126
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.920
answered both of those questions. Dolora
and Wiley will we'll work out on Saturday.

127
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:48.360
We'll see how they look kind of
very similar to the Joe Burrow plan,

128
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:53.959
we'll call it, and we'll see
what that looks like. And the

129
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:58.240
most important thing that you can do
as a football player is protect yourself.

130
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:03.480
So if you're unable to protect yourself, then I would expect them not to

131
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:07.319
play. If they're able to protect
themselves, then I would expect them to

132
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:13.000
play. Yeah, I would say
that is certainly something that we need to

133
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.199
look at for each player independently and
individually. You know, Jayden has started

134
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.079
thirty two, pack twelve or thirty
two football games already in his career.

135
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.879
Mike has started I think probably in
that same range. I would guess that's

136
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.360
very different than a guy that started
four games or two games or seven games

137
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:39.000
or whatever it might be. You
look back historically when Jayden played Washington two

138
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.519
years ago he was at Washington State, when he played him this past year

139
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.600
he was, or last year he
was here. He has experiences what they

140
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:52.600
do. Mike has experiences in what
they do. So we always are cautions

141
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.240
of that. We don't really want
to set a precedent that you know,

142
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.240
how much do you practice will determine
how much you play. He was certainly

143
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.879
out at uh, you know,
on yesterday's practice, So we'll have to

144
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.519
see what it looks like today to
make some more decisions. So you know,

145
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.799
uh, game time decision, right
and all we shadowing all this is

146
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.519
Mike Wiley's hurt too. Yeah,
but you know, you think about they've

147
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.840
got three guys who can still carry
you know, I, for one,

148
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.759
I love Jonah Coleman. Yeah,
oh yeah, I can't wait for that

149
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.360
guy to be the starter. Yeah
yeah. He's very fun to watch and

150
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.360
and just does nothing but produce when
when he gets in the game. But

151
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.559
at the same time, going into
a game against a team like Washington without

152
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:37.080
both members of your of your starting
backfield, I mean, that's that's a

153
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.559
that's tough. You're you're already playing
behind the eight ball. If if both

154
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.480
you know, and I like,
just like you like Jonah and everybody likes

155
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.559
Jonah. I like Noah too.
I think Noa fa Fita looked very,

156
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.840
very good against Stanford, and I'd
have all the confidence in the world in

157
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:56.360
him. But you know, Jane
Delora and Michael Wiley are the starters for

158
00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:01.720
a reason, So you'd like to
uh to have both of Well certainly you

159
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.600
know both of those guys that you
know walking on the field are gonna have

160
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.879
probably many fewer butterflies. And say, yeah, no Fafita and Jonah Coleman.

161
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.360
But but Jed's Jed's okay with no
Fafita. He was asked at the

162
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.720
towards the end of the press conference. Okay, if Ifida has to start,

163
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.200
you know what, what are your
thoughts on that? Here's what he

164
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.840
said. I mean, I have
not shot away from my feelings towards Noah.

165
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:28.360
I love Noah. I think Noah
is and has been the ultimate professional,

166
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.960
meaning every single day he shows up
to work ready to be the next

167
00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.600
quarterback. He knows he's one play
away. He's been told he's been one

168
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.039
play away for as long as he's
been here. His preparation has never changed,

169
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.440
his film study has never changed,
his note taking has never changed.

170
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.320
And now the only difference is it's
now time to go. If that opportunity

171
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.600
presents himself, and if it does, Noah will be ready. And if

172
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.480
it doesn't, and no will be
ready to play too and or beyond.

173
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.360
But I believe that his He's played
a lot of football and this is not

174
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.559
his first time ever going out there. This won't be his first time that

175
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.519
he's ever had to lineup under center. But it certainly is a different challenge

176
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.360
than when you go in at the
end of the game against Utah, or

177
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.559
you go in at the end of
the game against Colorado when the score was

178
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.720
kind of out of hand, or
when you go in and last week's game

179
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.919
kind of gives you a little bit
different feel. You're down seventeen fourteen,

180
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.000
You're on the road in a game
that you know, we were the favorites,

181
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.600
let's call it, and he managed
that well. You know, I

182
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.759
don't think that they've had this go
to a quarterback situation. I think I'll

183
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:48.320
go back to like Nick Foles and
Matt Scott. Right, I would agree

184
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.440
with those full started games, but
I think since then, yeah, when

185
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.279
I they had two good quarterbacks,
yeah, at the same time, Yeah,

186
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.759
I would agree with that. That's
I mean, you can argue that

187
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.639
when they had Kalil take and Randon
Dawkins, the wrong guy was playing.

188
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.039
Yeah, but I you know,
their quarterback situation wasn't as good as this.

189
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.399
No, and even even the years
with a new I mean, no,

190
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.320
they're Yeah, I would agree.
I think this is the best since

191
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.000
since falls and Matt Scott. But
but like you said, I you know,

192
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.480
I think, no, for you
do do a good job, but

193
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.120
to throw them in there to start
against the number seven team in the country.

194
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.559
Yeah, and and not only that, I first of all, I

195
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.759
think that's their ranked way too long. Yeah, I do the best I

196
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.720
think the best team in the league. Yeah, I agree. I picked

197
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.679
them to to you know, to
win the league. And you know,

198
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.720
if I ranked the teams in the
league, now I did this. You

199
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.679
know, Steve and I talked about
this yesterday. Yeah, I've got Washington,

200
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:46.720
then probably Oregon. Yeah, and
then Utah and then USCO. They

201
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.720
don't look that good to me.
No good, They're really good. They're

202
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.440
not a playoff team. I mean, well, I agree, and I

203
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:58.480
look at our upcoming schedule. You
know, after after Washington it goes USC

204
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.559
Washingt Shington State, Oregon State,
UCLA and a team I think might be

205
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.879
the best out of that group.
I think Washington State, Washington State looks

206
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.120
really really good, really good,
and Arizone has got to go up there,

207
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.759
and yes, which has never gone
well, you know, going into

208
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.639
the seasons. I had that as
a sort of a fifty fifty game.

209
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.960
It's not. Those guys are really
they're really good, really really good.

210
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.559
But yeah, you know, but
again, I think I think this week

211
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:33.000
will be fun whatever happens. I'm
not sitting here thinking if if, if,

212
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.399
if Jane Delord doesn't start, they
got no shot. Yeah, and

213
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.240
that's a good feeling to have.
Yeah, for sure it is, you

214
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.720
know, and the same thing with
Michael While Okay, throw Jonah Coleman there,

215
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.879
Get Speedy Luke a couple more carries. Yeah, get DJ Williams a

216
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.399
couple more care totally agree. And
I think the good thing about this,

217
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.159
and I think Jed talks about this
in a later clip, is you say

218
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.360
that you think we have a shot
no matter who's the starting quarterback. I

219
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.000
think a lot of that has to
do with the fact that the defense has

220
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.399
been good enough to keep us in
every single game. And now, obviously

221
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.960
this weekend's gonna be a total step
up than anything we've seen so far.

222
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.600
But the defense is playing. You
know, you go back to Matt Scott

223
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:15.159
and and Nick Foles for the quarterback
situations. I don't know when the last

224
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.200
time we had a defense that that
looks as good as this one does,

225
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.200
so pre Rich Rods certain, Yeah, definitely. So you know, I

226
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.759
think that's a good baseline to start
with. Is uh, you know how

227
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.200
good the defense has been. Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our

228
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.000
first break. We're gonna be back
with Jack McGruder, who's gonna well,

229
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.000
we'll get into some he's got he's
been had some baseball duties, so we'll

230
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.960

325
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:36.920
My buddy Steve is out of town
for the day. He'll be back tomorrow

326
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.279
as we get ready for a weekend
of clock football. But I've got oh

327
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.799
pel Danny Martinez here, he's the
directive operations for Arizona Softball. We're gonna

328
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.960
talk some softball in a little bit. But on the phone, we've got

329
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.839
Jack mcgooner, another old friend,
guy who's been around quote like one hundred,

330
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.240
one hundred twenty years Jack, something
like that. Yeah, it feels

331
00:21:55.240 --> 00:22:00.000
like it. But Jackson been is
I been great enough to join us?

332
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.160
They want to talk about a couple
of things, and so I, uh,

333
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.920
for those of you don't know,
Jack is an official scorekeeper. It's

334
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.400
a Major League Baseball parks most of
the time, working in the summer at

335
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:15.240
in Colorado. You said you're doing
the Diamondbacks games this weekend. Yeah,

336
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.400
I've got the Saturday and Sunday games, which could be pretty monumental for both

337
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.880
teams as far as against Houston,
as far as those teams go for the

338
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:27.680
playoffs. Right, So Houston's not
in the playoffs yet, right? No,

339
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.599
No, as as good as they
are, it's a tight race in

340
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:36.319
the Al West, especially so the
work left to do for everybody. Any

341
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.559
extra pressure on you, Jack,
did you know, like be perfect with

342
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:44.720
the with the score book and stuff
like that for games like this. No,

343
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:53.240
it's just another game. It's just
another guy. That's coach speak,

344
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.440
man, that you're not Come on, you're not a coach. That's coach

345
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:02.759
speak. You just you know,
I can't let that extra that extra uh

346
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.519
incentive play on us. You know, we just call him as we see

347
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.960
him. You can't put an extra
strike on the you know in the book

348
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.759
for an Astro's batterer, so that
he thinks he's got one strike, but

349
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:15.880
you know he's got too, and
then you can't do any of that,

350
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:22.359
right, It's really it's really a
mundane job. So but you know,

351
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.480
I mean, how to go this
summer was there's still a lot of fun.

352
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:30.079
The rockets weren't very good, but
you're spending the summer in Denver rather

353
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:34.079
than uh than the Phoenix areas got
to be kind of nice. Yeah,

354
00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:38.279
it really was a blast up there. You guys probably got the same weather

355
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.160
Phoenix, the one hundred and fifteen, one hundred and seventeen all the time.

356
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.079
Yeah, and I certainly didn't didn't
miss that at all. But you

357
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.279
know, it's still it's still doing
work, and it's still trying to be

358
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:52.119
trying to be good and make sure
you make all the right calls. So,

359
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:55.839
yeah, it is a lot of
fun up there. My wife's from

360
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:57.640
my wife from there, Joe,
you probably do that, so that helps

361
00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.799
a little bit to see get back
in the home. Stopping drowns a little

362
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.720
bit. So seeing all these games
and you know, you go in doing

363
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:07.519
what you do. You go to
more games than you know most of us

364
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.279
do tell me about, you know, things like the pitch clock and you

365
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.200
know how many times you can throw
it? First, I mean, did

366
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:19.160
the game seem a whole lot faster? Do you it? Really? Did

367
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.920
it? Really? Which was?
I thought it was great because I thought

368
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.759
it just got too long in the
last few years, with the batting glove

369
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:33.160
adjustments and pitching up your pants and
all that stuff between every advant I thought

370
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.759
it was terrific. I think the
players embraced a at least they got used

371
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.119
to it for sure. By the
end of the year. I don't know

372
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:42.079
if we saw very many pitch clock
violations at all. And I know the

373
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:45.079
bases, you know the bases.
The change of the base has sped the

374
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:49.440
game up a little bit because everybody's
running and still a lot of action out.

375
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.200
Very cool. So who do you
who do you got? You think

376
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.720
the Braves are pretty much unbeatable?
What do you think? Gosh? I

377
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.880
mean, they look like it,
don't they. Yeah, Kuna is a

378
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.680
Kunya is such a great player.
Their their rotation has been off and on.

379
00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.880
But I think they that's they've got
enough there to do it. That

380
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.359
lineup is very impressive. I don't
know how you slow him down. Did

381
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.759
you get to see him? Did
he did he come to Uh? I

382
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.599
did get to see him. I
saw Kunya he did something. Oh I

383
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.400
saw you know what? Did you
see this on the on the highlights?

384
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:27.279
Some fan in Denver ran out on
the field. Kunia is out in right

385
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.319
field and he set up to try
to take a selfish Oh, yes,

386
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:37.039
that was right, okay, all
right, yeah, I remember seeing it.

387
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:40.960
Looks kind of serious. It looked
like you might try to be doing

388
00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:44.400
it some damage, and so all
the security guys ran out there, but

389
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.680
all he wanted to do is take
a picture of with him, And of

390
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.039
course they got there first and he
couldn't do it. But so much for

391
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.720
that. Well all right, so
no harm, no harm. Well,

392
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.240
yeah, but that was scary,
That really was. I saw that.

393
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.480
That's that's that's gotta be scary for
the play. Yeah, yeah, first

394
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:04.680
impression, definitely scary. Yeah.
So okay, So we had a big,

395
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.000
big weekend of college football last week
or a bunch of great games.

396
00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:14.480
What's got your eye this weekend?
Well, there's not quite as many good

397
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.759
games, but uh, Duke and
Notre Dame ought to be a pretty good

398
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.880
game, I think. I also
I also like the Texas A and m

399
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:27.319
Arkansas game down and down in Dallas. I think that'll be an interesting game

400
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:30.119
too. Oh they're playing that in
Dallas. I didn't know that. Yeah,

401
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.839
they play They're playing at Jerry Jones
Stadium. Yeah all right, But

402
00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:38.640
you know when you when you saw
that there was all the deal about the

403
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:44.240
Notre Dame o House State game last
year when Notre Dame got beep out House

404
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:45.960
State. Then they went off and
lost to Michigan. I mean, Marshall

405
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:52.880
the next week, I should we
be taking Duke this week? I looked

406
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.880
at him real hard because I'm my
job at sports Betting Dame right now,

407
00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.279
sports betting diame dot com if you
guys want to look that up. My

408
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:04.200
job is the pickoff sets every week, and it's been kind of hit or

409
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.240
miss. You know, they're upsets
for a reason, right right, And

410
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.720
I really wanted to take Duke,
but I just you know, they're they

411
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.519
really haven't. Florida State was had
a bad game. They missed two field

412
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.440
goals, they outgained Duke in the
first game, and the rest of the

413
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.279
Duke's schedule has been pretty pretty basic. So yeah, I just I think

414
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.960
Notre Dame will be a little fired
up after that stupid defensive deal. But

415
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:30.599
they only had ten guys on the
field. Can you imagine that? What

416
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.319
the hell? No, that's that
was for two plays? Right? Yeah,

417
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.119
two plays? They they don't they
don't have enough guys on the field.

418
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.559
That was crazy. It was crazy
or great the first time, well,

419
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:42.599
the first time they didn't even see
it right and they threw a path

420
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:48.559
and the second time to the big
hole in the in the line. You

421
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.720
know, what is it? It's
kind of up in the air everything right

422
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.000
now, right, I mean,
George is not as good as George has

423
00:27:56.039 --> 00:28:00.920
been. Alabama obviously not. I
think why Washington is better than USC.

424
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:04.319
It's kind of a jumble right now. How long do you think before this

425
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:11.279
thing flushes out? It usually takes
a couple more weeks, right, sometimes

426
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.359
so that the will Georgia's usually dominant
or Alabama's usually dominant at this time,

427
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:21.160
and this year there's always you know, there's always guys that are should be

428
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:25.599
better or you think would make a
run and get up at the top.

429
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.160
I'm really impressed by the PAC twelve
this year. I know, I know

430
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:30.839
this is the last time we'll ever
see him as they exist right now.

431
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:36.000
But they got a good bunch of
teams. I'm with you on Washington better

432
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:40.160
than USC. I really like Michael
Pennocks a lot. I know Arizona is

433
00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:41.440
going to have their hands full this
week. They'll probably give them a game.

434
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.920
Man, I washing them is hard
to slow down. They're really,

435
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:52.720
really good. I really likes a
lot. Two teams in the big team,

436
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.079
you know, Penn State and yeah, thissually going are probably better than

437
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:57.960
Ohio State right now. I guess
we'll see how it plays out. They'll

438
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.599
end up playing each other as we
go. What about the Ryan Day stuff.

439
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.559
That stuff is still going on between
between him and Lou Hols. I

440
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.880
mean, Danny, you I know
you you've you've heard all that. I

441
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.359
mean, you just leave the old
guy alone. What you do? I

442
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:18.440
think that was that was a little
ridiculous, and he's still yelling at him,

443
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:21.839
like what the hell? And then
the Lou holds the fighting back.

444
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.880
I mean, what do we do
with that? Jack? You know,

445
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:30.680
I think these old guys, I
mean this guy's and Corso too, they're

446
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.720
just trying to get ratings for me. Sure, they're trying to they're trying

447
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.759
to throw lines out there, right, They're not trying to give you a

448
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.480
intense analysis a game. They're just
trying to throw lines out there. You

449
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.920
just kind of kind of let that
go, don't say you just gotta let

450
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.400
it, let it fly and say, wow, that's just some dope on

451
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:51.519
the internet saying something, So I'll
just I'll just ignore it. Well,

452
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:55.039
well, we were talking this week
about the fact that there's more and more

453
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:59.880
coaches are doing that, right,
you know sand you know, the REA

454
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.359
acting to the stuff that they've always
said that they don't listen to. Well,

455
00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:07.200
we've always known they listened, but
they haven't always reacted. I mean,

456
00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:10.960
you're I mean out there. Yeah, I mean you covered, you

457
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.880
covered Dick Tomy. I mean he
didn't you know, he didn't react to

458
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.559
this stuff. And you know other
coaches that you've dealt with over time.

459
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.319
But now all of a sudden,
it's all okay and everybody does you know

460
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.359
you had the Washington State coach going
off last week. You know, we've

461
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.440
seen the stuff that Dan Sanders and
Dan Lanning and all this stuff going on.

462
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.000
I like the Washington State coach coming
up with that, because he was

463
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:37.599
right on that, and they get
no respect. They just get no respect.

464
00:30:37.640 --> 00:30:40.599
And sometimes you gotta fight that.
Sometimes I got to say, hey,

465
00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:45.240
we're here, we deserve some respect. Uh, be quiet? All

466
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:51.079
right. So when I'm looking back
on your website, so you haven't done

467
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:55.359
your upset picks yet? When will
that come out? Comes out tomorrow?

468
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:59.440
No, I'm sorry, it comes
out Saturday morning. I got off tomorrow

469
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.480
and come back Saturday morning, Jack, I gotta make my picks tomorrow night

470
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:04.519
on the show. I mean,
what the hell? Yeah? Well,

471
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.640
okay, all right, give you
no. I don't know how much health

472
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.039
do you need from me? Well, I'll tell you what I'm I'm I'm

473
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.480
six out of fifteen, okay,
No, six out of twenty. That's

474
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.440
about average. Six No, no, no, I'm six out of no,

475
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.559
six out of twenty. I'm six
out of twenty. That's really bad.

476
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.400
All right. Give me give me
a give me a game that I'm

477
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.920
gonna that I'm gonna put in my
picks tomorrow. Okay. It doesn't have

478
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.640
to be enough set, it doesn't
have to be enough to be any game.

479
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.559
They're getting six and a half or
seven. Danny close your ears and

480
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:42.279
uh, I think therefore, well, can we talk about this or say

481
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.880
Danny just can't participate in the in
the conversation, but you can talk to

482
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:51.920
me. Arkansas Jay is four oh
and one and against the spread the last

483
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.920
five against Dann M. They've out
gained them in the last four games,

484
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:01.079
so they'll they'll almost cover. Now, maybe they won't win, but I

485
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:04.519
think they're just as good as ay
and M. And am always this a

486
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:07.839
point, don't they? Yeah,
they do. Don't you don't You always

487
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.160
think they're supposed to be better than
this, and they're not. Their quarterback,

488
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:15.680
they're starting quarterback was hurt last week, but I don't think it really

489
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.799
matters if he's if he's back or
not. They win with defense, they

490
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.200
don't win with offense. Right all
right, Jack, I'm taking They're one.

491
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:24.880
They're one for and one against the
spread. Just throwing something else,

492
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:29.839
and they're one for and one against
the spread as a neutral site favorite where

493
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:34.319
they are again, and they play
Alabama and Tennessee in the next two weeks,

494
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.960
so they're probably just peeking ahead to
those two games. All right,

495
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:45.759
I'm taking I'm taking Arkansas tomorrow listening
to this and I'm taking Arkansas. Okay,

496
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:50.920
you can probably jump in again on
this Jimble Fisher how much I mean,

497
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.000
he's got like one hundred million dollars
buy up, but he could be

498
00:32:54.119 --> 00:33:00.640
in trouble, can't. Don't you
think it just I don't know. He

499
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.680
just hasn't produced there right to the
levels that they expected. I know they've

500
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.039
had a decent team, but they
were five, haven't had much offense.

501
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:12.160
They were hired, uh I'm sorry, go ahead, and they get you

502
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.119
know, the number one recruiting classes
and they're all these you know, the

503
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.880
transfer portal. They're hitting it hard, and then there's just no results on

504
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.599
the field. There's you know,
they have everything going for them, but

505
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:29.079
he just can't win football games.
It's so weird. Yeah, they hired

506
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:34.799
motorcycle Bobby Trina to be their Trino
to be their offensive coordinator this year,

507
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:37.359
and they still haven't done much offensively. They lost to Miami. You know,

508
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.000
Miami's a good team, but not
great. They lost to Miami and

509
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.880
they just hung on to beat Auburn. So I yeah, there's just the

510
00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:49.799
results to start their No, they
haven't been absolutely how much do you do?

511
00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:53.440
Do you do? Much of U
NFL stuff, not too much,

512
00:33:53.480 --> 00:34:00.079
no, no, just this as
a watcher because Danny Lions are playing tonight

513
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:07.279
right now, yep, yep ye
game. Yeah, I wonder if I

514
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.559
wonder if the Montgomery is going to
be uh inactive or active. I have

515
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:16.559
heard the signs are pointing to that
he is playing tonight, so that you

516
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:20.760
know, we need all the help
we can get against the Packers, but

517
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:23.679
that that would be nice. I
told I was really upset with him because

518
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.280
I had I had the Chiefs when
the Lions beat him in the opener,

519
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:31.679
and then I had the Lions the
next week when they lost to the Seahawks.

520
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.559
I'm like, I'm really, I'm
kind of upset with Danny and the

521
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.280
Lion right now. So I don't
know what to do. I like their

522
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.920
coach. He's kind of an old
school, yeah, hard nose kind of

523
00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:45.239
guy. I like him a lot. I think they I think they've got

524
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.559
a good team. You know,
I'm on Saint Brown is Terrificcomery can gains

525
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:52.679
the yards. Yeah, I liked
him a lot. Yeah, first time

526
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:57.920
in a while that I've been,
you know, actually positive about the Lions,

527
00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.719
And I just hope they don't rip
my heart out. Yeah, well

528
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:06.440
then you can live on that first
game for a couple of weeks. A

529
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:08.400
nice win for them, that was. Plus you've been in Arizona fan all

530
00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:15.119
your line you're used to get,
yes, Arizona Lions Tigers. Yeah.

one of the old guys. He
came to He came to town about

538
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:45.360
the same time as Greg Hanson,
so wow, that's when he started at

539
00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:50.360
the start, went up to Phoenix
when the Cardinals got here, still working

540
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:52.960
for the Star, and then ended
up with the Phoenix Papers. Yeah and

541
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:57.360
stuff like that. So he's got
Jack's a long history back here. So

a look back at the Ludolson era in

547
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:24.119
my new book, Lessons from Lute. It was a labor of love through

548
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:28.800
the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

549
00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:30.840
to the coach and the man who
led them, competed against them, and

550
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:36.360
inspired them. Twenty five chapters for
his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

551
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.000

how he built the program into a

612
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.840
good show shaping up. We've got
Yogi Roth from Peck Club Networks. Client.

613
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:21.559
You probably running into Yogi year time
or two. Yogi's the best.

614
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:24.320
I mean, he is truly one
of the best people in that you know,

615
00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:30.440
in that industry, among all color
announcers and just personalities. I think

616
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:36.679
he does his research better than anybody
else. He's incredibly you know, personable,

617
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:38.639
and in every interaction I've ever had
with him, I truly think he

618
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:43.480
is the best. He's never said
no to Lay. He's so he never

619
00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:46.800
said no, and I want he's
calling the game Saturday against Washington. So

620
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.920
I said, hey, can you
do the show on Friday? He said

621
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:52.800
absolutely, So he'll be here at
three fifteen tomorrow, at three thirty five,

622
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:57.599
we're gonna have Kevin Singleton, one
of the one of the honorary captains.

623
00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:01.280
He and his brother Chris both played
at Arizona UH back in the early

624
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:05.440
Dick Tomy years. So Kevin will
be on with us, and then our

625
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:10.679
usual Friday UH analyst Jake Fisher will
join us. Danny knows Jake Jake as

626
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:15.400
well from the old high school day. Yep, that's right, yeah,

627
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:20.400
Jake Jake. Was that good to
see that he's still you know, he's

628
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:22.400
he's on your show. I didn't
know he was on your show. That's

629
00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:27.079
he's one of our sponsors. Okay, so we got Jesper, you know,

630
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:29.639
we pick his brain, right,
he played the game, So we

631
00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:31.480
go into a game, and I'm
always like, Okay, this week it's

632
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:35.880
this. What was it like when
you did that? Oh? That's great.

633
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:37.760
Yeah, we'll we'll pick his brain
on that. So so we're gonna

634
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:40.639
have a loaded show tomorrow. But
I wanted to get to some more jet

635
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:45.960
Fish stuff. I asked him,
you know, what does what you know

636
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:52.719
Washington is? It's people have said
scary good? What are they best at?

637
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:59.119
Offensively? Uh? And he just
you know his his his answer won't

638
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.559
surprise you, but he'll he'll stand
up for himself as well. Here's what

639
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:05.960
had to say about the Washington offense. Well, I mean, I think

640
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:12.079
there's no question that they throw the
ball beautifully. They have an outstanding passing

641
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.079
attack. They have great wide receivers, they have an outstanding offensive line.

642
00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:20.400
Their quarterback is elite. That's not
to say that they don't have great running

643
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:24.320
backs and tight ends. But they
have a great scheme. I think coach

644
00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:28.320
the Bord is one of the better
U if not one of the best offensive

645
00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:31.440
coaches in all of the country.
And coach grubbing him together is a great

646
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:37.440
combination. And they put their guys
in position to make plays. They make

647
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:42.719
plays. They're at outstanding. They're
outstanding on offense, and but I don't

648
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:45.639
we don't shy away from anybody on
offense. We think we're one of the

649
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:50.719
best offenses in the country. And
you know we're right now sitting at thirtieth

650
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:52.519
in the country. A lot of
times would happen. You know, we're

651
00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:57.119
three points below where we were last
year. We had one hundred and seventeen

652
00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.079
points within four weeks last year.
We have one hundred and fourteen points this

653
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:05.079
year. But very different type of
games we've played. We haven't had to

654
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:09.000
outscore people. Uh So we uh
we certainly feel like our offense can match

655
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:15.960
up with anybody. But these guys
are elite when it comes to how they

656
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:17.960
pass the ball, how they get
their guys open, how they compete for

657
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:22.159
the ball in the air. And
our defense is going to have a great

658
00:44:22.239 --> 00:44:27.400
challenge one on one. You know, it's it's funny. They're three and

659
00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:31.480
one, three and one. Yeah, they had a tough game against Stanford

660
00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:35.079
last week, and that was a
game I've said, that's a game that

661
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:37.000
Arizona normally lose. But all those
things go wrong. For sure, your

662
00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:40.039
quarterbacks are playing well, you got
a bunch of injuries you're on the road

663
00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:44.119
against a team that you feel you
should be able to handle, and they

664
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.920
and they jump up and bite you. And it's a game that Arizona over

665
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:52.360
the years has lost, but they
won. You know, the offense has

666
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.679
been scoring the points that we were
expecting, but they're still three and one,

667
00:44:54.840 --> 00:44:59.559
right, I mean, what do
you what do you think when you

668
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:05.000
think about, Yeah, it's it's
been kind of a weird season all together

669
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:09.159
when it comes to the offense,
because what I see is an improved offensive

670
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:13.599
line. I think the offensive line
looks really really good. Jordan Morgan,

671
00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:15.719
I mean he could be he could
be a first or second round pick.

672
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:22.079
I think he's that good. Jana
Sevanaiah is you know, an elite tackle

673
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:25.840
in his own right. I think
the offensive line is much improved. The

674
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:30.199
weapons are still there. The weapons
are still there. T Mac looks even

675
00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:35.760
somehow more physical and more explosive than
he looked last year. Jacob Cowing is

676
00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:39.119
still there. The running back,
you know, stable is there. So

677
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:47.119
all the pieces are there. It
just seems like something it hasn't connected yet.

678
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:52.840
It's there's there's something that you know, and and I have all the

679
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:55.559
confidence in the world that it's going
to it's they're going to figure it out,

680
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:01.360
you know, maybe this way if
they didn't. Yeah, so at

681
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:06.360
some point it's gonna come together because
the pieces are there. I think the

682
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:10.039
foundation with that offensive line, that's
that's what can take this offense to the

683
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:13.760
next level. Well, you feel
like they at least have an offensive line

684
00:46:13.800 --> 00:46:17.280
that might be able to you know, protect a quarterback, even against somebody

685
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:21.760
like Washington. Yeah. Right,
I'm not even sure how good Washington's defense

686
00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:25.440
is because they've not played anybody great. They scored a bunch of points,

687
00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:29.960
there's still a lot we don't know
about Washington, although all signs pointed them

688
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.679
being yeah, really damn good.
But you don't feel like you're walking in

689
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.719
and thinking Arizona's got no shot in
the trenches either. Offensive your defense,

690
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:42.960
that's the big thing is Especially when
I was watching us play Mississippi State,

691
00:46:43.199 --> 00:46:46.239
where you know you're going against an
SEC opponent, I thought we looked just

692
00:46:46.320 --> 00:46:51.679
as you know, every every bit
as as physical in the trenches as Mississippi

693
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:54.519
State. So yeah, I think
that, Yeah, you're right, I

694
00:46:54.559 --> 00:47:00.119
don't think we'll be outmanned there.
Well. Jason Shearer asked the question that

695
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:04.400
I wanted to ask, So it
was, Okay, do you go into

696
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:07.360
a game like this thinking, okay, if we hold him to X number

697
00:47:07.400 --> 00:47:12.280
of points or we've got to score
X number of points to win the game.

698
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:14.239
Do you do you look at it
that way? Here's what Jed had

699
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:19.559
to say. Yeah, you know
I would say this, not really,

700
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:22.159
we don't. I think if you
look at games, and you know that

701
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:28.239
I've study the NFL a lot.
I mean you look at the Patriots versus

702
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:32.400
the Dolphins and it was twenty four
seventeen, and then the next week you

703
00:47:32.440 --> 00:47:37.480
look at the Broncos versus the Dolphins
and it was seventy to twenty. You

704
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:43.599
just don't necessarily know how a game
is going to go. You have a

705
00:47:43.599 --> 00:47:50.000
certain plan on defense to try to
contain an offense as as explosive as the

706
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:54.840
Miami Dolphins or the Washington Huskies.
The way that we'll go, we'll determine

707
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:59.920
how we'll have to play the game. And we had three possessions on all

708
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:06.400
offense last weekend we scored twice.
If they have three possessions on offense,

709
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:09.440
they can only score three times and
they could score twice two. So you

710
00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:13.519
have to look at all facets of
it when you continue to try to figure

711
00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:15.199
out how to play a game.
The other part of it that I think

712
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:20.960
is really important is that when you
go through these processes of trying to determine

713
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.119
how the game's gonna go, you
have to look at all three phases.

714
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:28.480
You have to look at your team's
hell, their team's hell, your team's

715
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:34.559
scheme, their team's scheme. And
this is not a game that last year

716
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:40.400
was forty two thirty nine with seven
minutes left in the game, and you

717
00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:44.079
know, both teams were playing at
a very high level. It could be

718
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:47.239
that or it could be different,
but we're just unsure right now. They've

719
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.760
had a lot of possessions. We
haven't had the same amount of possessions.

720
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:53.679
So we need to take the ball
away to make sure we can get some

721
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:58.360
extra points. I mean, and
really that's it. I mean, I

722
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:01.599
said, simple thinker, and I'm
not a coach, right, I said,

723
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:06.119
affair hold him under thirty. They've
got a really good chance. And

724
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:08.280
I think that that's the case.
Yeah, whether that's their goal, if

725
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:13.400
they've set that number as a goal, I don't know. But you hold

726
00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:16.039
Washington into four touchdowns, you'd like
to think you win the game. Yeah,

727
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:21.599
question is will they right? Yeah, And I agree with Jed to

728
00:49:21.679 --> 00:49:24.400
the to his point. You know, I think if you look at last

729
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.039
week, I don't think anybody would
have thought that the score would be twenty

730
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.679
one, twenty or whatever it was. You know, at the end of

731
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:37.280
the day, the goal is to
have more points than the other team,

732
00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:40.400
right, It doesn't matter if that's
three zero, It doesn't matter if that's

733
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:45.159
seventy to you know, sixty,
whatever it is. You know that that

734
00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:47.480
I think a lot of times,
you know, I just kind of look

735
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:52.199
in the mirror with myself. I
was upset that we didn't look a little

736
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:55.400
bit better against Stanford. I was
I was upset that we didn't, you

737
00:49:55.519 --> 00:50:00.320
know, win by double digits.
Same thing with my line, you know,

738
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.599
I was upset that, you know, we only scored twenty points against

739
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:06.119
the Falcons, but at the end
of the day, we won. Both

740
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:08.800
of those are two wins and and
and that is the goal, you know,

741
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:13.079
of a game plan, of of
you know, coaching, in game,

742
00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.639
everything like that, it's to win
the game. So so yeah,

743
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:19.199
I agree with you. I mean
again, you know, when I put

744
00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:21.400
my head on the pillow Saturday night
after the game, I was like you

745
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:23.559
yeah, I'm like, yeah,
come on, yeah, I mean,

746
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:27.599
these guys were a really bad team. Wait a minute, they won.

747
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.679
Yeah, don't be upset. And
I took my own dang words because earlier

748
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:35.800
in the week I said, what
if they win, no matter what the

749
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:37.559
score is, you have to be
happy with it because it's a road game.

750
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:42.079
Exactly if they if they win seventeen
to thirteen or yeah, you know,

751
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:45.880
you know, twenty eight, twenty
four happening right because they won a

752
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:49.800
game. Yeah on the road.
Yeah. Conference wins. Conference road wins

753
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:54.519
are like gold. I mean,
you know, I obviously I think everybody

754
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:58.480
watching it wanted to look a little
bit better, a little bit cleaner.

755
00:50:58.639 --> 00:51:00.440
But at the end of the day, a win is a win, especially

756
00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:04.400
on the road. Well, and
this is a test for Washington right there

757
00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:07.239
there. I mean, whether it's
pressure or not, or they're just having

758
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.960
fun with the fact that they're considered, you know, a possible playoff team,

759
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:15.400
this is a this is the first
real test for them, and if

760
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:20.280
they come and screw this up this
weekend, their whole season can go right

761
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:23.000
in the crapper. If they don't
come in and hold court against Arizona,

762
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:27.199
and as you said, it's tough
on the road. They've got a history

763
00:51:27.239 --> 00:51:30.679
of not playing well on the road
and in Arizona. You know, Arizona's

764
00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.199
beating them sometimes here that you just
didn't spent the whole first half of the

765
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:37.000
week talking about the ninety two game
where you were just a child, and

766
00:51:37.079 --> 00:51:40.159
you probably don't even remember that.
I don't remember. But you know,

767
00:51:40.840 --> 00:51:44.760
you know they've come here with some
really good teams and gotten beat Yeah,

768
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:46.239
you know, I mean that that
game where J. J. Taylor got

769
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:50.159
hurt. You early, Arizone was
gonna win that game. Yep, that's

770
00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:52.119
right, right, and it looked
like that's right. Yeah, did that

771
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:55.079
game go to over time? I
think we took them to overtake it.

772
00:51:55.159 --> 00:52:00.360
I think that. So, I
mean the ASU game last year, I

773
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:05.239
mean that completely changed their trajectory last
year as well. So yeah, exactly,

774
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:07.519
all right, Well, we ran
out of time again. Danny had

775
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:10.199
chance to talks to the softball But
we are. We're gonna get to that.

776
00:52:10.679 --> 00:52:15.559
We're gonna take our last break of
the hour of this hour. We're

777
00:52:15.559 --> 00:52:17.480
gonna come back. We've got breaking
newser there is some stuff out there.

778
00:52:17.559 --> 00:52:23.360
We'll have a chat. We've got
uh uh Bruce Pascal coming in at four

779
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:27.519
fifteen to talk about the Red Blue
game. We'll go, we'll go through

780
00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:30.159
that and then we'll we'll get to
Danny stuff because yea, I invited the

781
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:35.880
years we could talk about what's going
on around Arizona softball. I promise we'll

782
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:37.639
get to it. But breaking news
coming back at the top of the hour.

783
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:38.360
We'll right back
