00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.359
previous generation of college sports, right
before nil, before chance reportals, we

18
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:22.680
had access all this stuff right when
we used to have access before social media,

19
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.760
before social media, right all that. Uh, and so we'll get

20
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.840
you know, we'll get their take
on how, you know, God,

21
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.760
would they even like to be doing
what they were doing? Right? Jim

22
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.159
Livan good More rath leg director Arizona, Washington State UNLV and then Bob Davy

23
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.439
at football coach Notre Dame, New
Mexico. He's a TV guy now,

24
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.719
former former you know, former assistant
coach at Arizona. You know, they've

25
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.319
they they've been around a while,
They've seen a lot, they're still involved.

26
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.879
Right, what do they think,
you know, what do they think

27
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.040
about the fact that next year the
Pac twel was gone. No, we'll

28
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.920
talk all about that interesting stuff.
But I haven't seen Jim. We had

29
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.760
gym earlier this year. We've had
him on in March March ish. Uh.

30
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:08.360
We just I said, you know, okay, let's trying to get

31
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.560
back back on see what he's up
to and then get all this new take

32
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.439
on it. Yeah, he's been
gone more than ten years now, twelve

33
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.800
thirteen years because Burn through the Greg
Burn and Davey. Yeah, yeah,

34
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.000
late to two thousand, he's the
one to hire shot. So two thousand

35
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.319
and nine ish, two thousand and
nine, I think it was his last

36
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.960
year. Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean it's uh, let's see,

37
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.680
I'm trying to look him up.
Yeah, it's two thousand nine,

38
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.800
two thousan ten because he got shot
in two thousand and nine. The citizen

39
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.280
clothes then, So that's kind of
how I remember things. Yeah, so

40
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.719
you know, you know, but
a guy who again he was seen a

41
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.919
lot and looking he was at Arizona
at a time when you know, there

42
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.560
was a lot of growth and a
lot of success. Things happened, a

43
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.360
lot of success. Yeah, you
know, some call at the Golden Age.

44
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.080
Yeah, so I think I have. I don't know, you've kind

45
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.039
of nodded your head. Yeah,
don't you think, Well, go ahead,

46
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.039
I don't want to interrupt yourself.
That's so. So I think the

47
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.960
guy who started at all, the
guy who was obviously Cedric, right,

48
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:15.000
he planted the seeds, well,
Cedric Cedric aggressively went out and tried to

49
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:23.719
do things to uh improve not just
an individual sport, but just Arizona program

50
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.080
profile as a as a as a
national and he did that, you know,

51
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.719
and he did that by hiring Luke. He got he got the football

52
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.400
program with Larry Smith and and Dick
Tommy going, you know again, like

53
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.360
you said, you know, Mike
Andre made a lot of moves that got

54
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.280
the balls rolling. Jim Live and
good kind of took it to you know,

55
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:52.479
the next step, particularly with you
know, with the with Arizona basketball

56
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.639
and the profile that it continued to
establish, you know, brought football along

57
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.439
where you know, through the Dick
Tomy years, became a you know,

58
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.560
a top program in some seasons,
you know, but certainly when they got

59
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:09.719
talked about a lot a large part
because of a desert swarm and all that

60
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.560
stuff, you know, and then
turned it over to Greg Burns. So

61
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.599
you know, I think it's it's, uh, you know, he's a

62
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.199
guy that and look like anybody,
right, like like anybody in a position

63
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.639
like his, they're always detractors.
People said he's doing a terrible job for

64
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.079
this sort of course of course,
right. But when you look back on

65
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.319
it today and you look back on
his time here, you think pretty well

66
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.839
of it, don't you. Yeah? No, I I yeah, and

67
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.800
you're not revising any history either.
No, you're just saying the facts.

68
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.720
And I think there's more. Uh. Isn't a business you have more positives

69
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.879
and negatives. Uh at the end
of the day. Well, when you

70
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.000
think about the facilities and things like
that that they started started to build,

71
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.839
you know, all that a lot
of that started to happen when uh.

72
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:56.000
Yeah, I think though he was
kind of he was at the tail end

73
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.240
of that, and then Greg came
in and raised a few dollars and it

74
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.480
started being and getting the football arena, football hysteria up up to up to

75
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:06.720
speed. Yeah, so I think
that uh, you know, look,

76
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.319
he was friendly a guy as that
could be one of those guys who,

77
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.319
hey, let me say something,
who knew your name? Yeah, who

78
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.920
shook your hand, shook your hand? I mean you you know, you

79
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:25.759
may be mad him twice, yet
he knew who you are. And guy

80
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.040
guys in those positions do that.
Greg Byrne was a master at that.

81
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.480
Yeah, you know, Okay,
Yeah, we're gonna say Greg was good

82
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.800
at it, but I think he
was more and I'll say this publicly,

83
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:41.839
he was more of he his his
his shaking of the hand was more of

84
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.839
Yes, he would. I'm not
gonna deny that. But depends the higher

85
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.040
profile the person, the more shaking
of the hands. Yeah, like anybody

86
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.560
though, I mean he doesn't do
that. Well, you gotta treat kind

87
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.600
of people equally. Yeah, it
might, it might. You know what

88
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.040
I'm saying. You know exactly what
I'm saying. No, I I yeah,

89
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.639
no, I know, I'm gonna
say. Here Alive and good went

90
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.519
to u n LV and two thousand
and nine nine, right, So how

91
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:11.480
long was he well after he left
after after young of a gap? Oh?

92
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.079
Was there from when he left a
and started at UNLV. Oh,

93
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:16.319
it was just right away, right
away, he was right away. Yeah,

94
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.199
he's right away. He was here
for fifteen years, Yeah to nineteen

95
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.160
eighty four. So, you know, a great time, great time,

96
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.160
good guy. We had our run
ins, but you know we got him

97
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.319
solved right away. You know,
you have to ask questions. Sometimes he

98
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.680
doesn't like the questions. Well you
know what, well, yeah, and

99
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.759
you know what, but he always
he never looked Maddie. No, No,

100
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:41.720
he was fair. He was he
was fair, which is which is

101
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.319
what Dave Hickey does. Right.
I think I think he's really good at

102
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.120
that because we've asked him some things, and you know, sure, and

103
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.079
and he and he understands that we
have to ask those things, so he

104
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.800
just tells you what he can.
No. No, he's been very straightforward

105
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.639
with us. We can joke with
him and not joke with him, and

106
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.639
he understands our situation. I think
too that the eras of our time and

107
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.399
today's time are totally different, you
know, way different. You know,

108
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:08.759
the access to these guys is very
little. Thank god, I don't have

109
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.279
to do it now. I'm sure
you're happy too. We're a little bit

110
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.360
that we do. I'm frustrated with
our little access we can, right you

111
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.399
know. You know we got Jet
fifh twice a week fifteen. We gotta

112
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.560
get him on this show. Yeah, and you know why I say that.

113
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.800
I know he would come on,
I know if we can. If

114
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.199
we asked him directly, you know
what, he'd say, Sure, sure,

115
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.920
But we have to go through hoops
and all, because if we can

116
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.720
get the U TEP coach to come
on a week of a game, couple

117
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.560
of days before the game, we
could get our old coach, so we

118
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:39.079
could honestly, am I folding?
No, Steve, You're not. You

119
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:44.199
would think that we could, but
let's start asking. We'll start asking.

120
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.240
If they continue to say, we'll
ask some more, right, because what

121
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.439
they're gonna do tell us, No, they're telling us now, yeah,

122
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:54.560
we'll call him out on on the
ring. Yeah, it's it's just ja

123
00:07:55.279 --> 00:08:00.759
jeto Okay. What we do is
not brain surgery, thankfully, because patients

124
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.600
would have died in my in my
watch. No, what Steve, What

125
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:09.240
we do is that is that we
give We give you know, uh,

126
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.759
people, coaches, administrators, whatever, an opportunity, a platform, a

127
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.920
platform to say what they what they
want to say. Sure, there's things

128
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.680
we want to know. Yeah,
that's the trade off. We'll ask you

129
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.040
some questions, you tell us some
things and and you know you can get

130
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.399
your you know, your message out
and would like to you know, get

131
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.680
the information that our listeners wanting.
Sure, that's all we're trying to do,

132
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.000
you know, not You and I
aren't investigative reports. We're not we're

133
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.159
not trying to find out have you
been uh, you know, having phone

134
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.960
sex with some lady that you shouldn't
be having phone sex. We're not asking

135
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.679
those questions to ask, right,
really, fun, We're just we're just

136
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.759
trying to find out, you know, how things are going, you know,

137
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.080
anything new coming up? You know, Well, you asked him a

138
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.399
question he had He wasn't uncomfortable.
He was joking with you, of course

139
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.399
about the the usage of the running
back trade. Yeah, I'm about going

140
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.919
to tell you Ja, I can't
tell that. That was kind of funny.

141
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.120
And then he didn't. Then you
did. Then he gave us an

142
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.159
answer. It wasn't everything that I
was hoping it would be, sure,

143
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:09.120
but it was the answer that he
was willing to get. Fine, you

144
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.159
know, and I didn't both sides. That's all okay, So we'll try

145
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.200
to do that. Like I said, it's not brain surgery. We just

146
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.240
talk about stuff on the no and
we try to have we try to have

147
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.120
a conversation because it was really fun. I think a really interesting thing that

148
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:31.360
I that I read uh today about
Dan Patrick who did did did an interview

149
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.960
with somebody and he said, I
don't do a sports show. I do

150
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.159
a show. Yeah, you know, we talk about other stuff. Yes,

151
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.440
we talk about a lot of sports, Yes, but we talk about

152
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.399
whatever. You know, they'll talk
about Taylor Swift, they'll talk about you

153
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:48.759
know, music that they like.
We'll talk about a lot a lot of

154
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.159
talk about food, you know,
so and that's you know way I feel

155
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.559
like it's a kid to us.
That's kind of which was trying to have

156
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.000
conversations that we would be having wherever. The one of the most popular stories

157
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.320
or shows that I remember us doing
that I got a lot of feedback was

158
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.000
for when Olivia Newton John died because
we kind of went back to our old

159
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.360
little kid days. And you know, who do we have a crush on,

160
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.600
you know, black blood, you
know, all time women. And

161
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.480
because you know why, I heard
other dudes our age saying, oh yeah,

162
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.679
I remember in Pamela and Pamela from
Dallas whatever her name was, Priscilla

163
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.679
Presley, all these people, you
know they had It's just the stir of

164
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.919
conversation, right and that's you know, that's all. That's all. We

165
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.240
tried it. Yeah, we have. We try to have fun with it,

166
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:35.399
you know. We we do get
into some serious sure, of course.

167
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.440
And and there's there's a very serious
one going on right now. Yeah

168
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.960
with mouth talking over at Michigan.
Well there's one. And you've got the

169
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.080
stuff with Colorado State and see what
happened with Dolora today, and then that's

170
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.200
not gonna go away. That's you
know, that's not gonna go. Well,

171
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.919
then it won't. And and you
know, you know the funny thing

172
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.679
about it, Jay, with that, I would have gone yesterday. I

173
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:56.919
don't know, because I was thinking
this question. I didn't know the timing

174
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.600
of the story and the start to
day. But NORMA thought Norman did a

175
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.399
great job. Was that. I
thought that Jaden to this point has done

176
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:11.840
a fantastic job. We are kind
of blocking the noise if there if there's

177
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.519
been noise, right what I'm saying, Yeah, because it's been he's been

178
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.759
here. He hasn't been Mississippi or
whatever, but he's been in his cocoon

179
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.360
here. Yeah. Well he's been. Yeah, you know, he's been.

180
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.840
Whether it's right or wrong, he's
been able to just kind of set

181
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.600
it aside and and move on.
But now this thing has crept up again.

182
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.240
We got a couple of minutes.
It's just so you know, this

183
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.799
whole thing came out because there was
this lawsuit that was filed by the by

184
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:43.799
the plane the plane if a victim
in this thing, filed against Jane Delora

185
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.679
and the other guy that was involved
in this. They they came up with

186
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.000
a settlement of the lawsuit. That
thing got filed publicly, and that's how

187
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:56.080
it got found out by the by
the newspaper in Hawaii, this alleged sexual

188
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.879
assault peticularly, I'm gonna say alleged
because he's not been convicted of anything.

189
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.759
So a judge recently, and I
don't know, uh, it was in

190
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:11.320
August thirty first ruling said that the
amount that that was settled for by the

191
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.000
victim was too low. That these
guys are making more money now because they're

192
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.960
getting nil whatever, and there's no
no statement as to how much of that

193
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.399
how much it is. But the
judges makes me saying that she settled for

194
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:30.200
too low of an amount and he's
declined to accept the settlement and saying go

195
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:35.399
back to the table and they set
up a mediation for January that he's gonna

196
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.080
that that the lawyers and I'm assuming
James Delore will have to be a part

197
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.120
of to go kind of basically redo
this and say, Okay, this is

198
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.960
how much she should be getting.
There's no doubt they both both parties want

199
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.879
to settle it because if she settled
for too low, she just wants to

200
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:52.720
settle this thing right now, they're
saying and then the judge is kind of

201
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.559
watching out for her to say you're
not getting enough out they're sure for what

202
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.440
happened, and for the kind of
money that these guys part of me that

203
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.480
she wants to end this, she
wants to get and she she doesn't have

204
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.039
her family doesn't have a whole lot
of money too to move forward with it.

205
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.440
And then she's, I guess put
more owners on the school than the

206
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.200
guys, right right, they said, Okay, uh, they're part of

207
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.360
it, but so is the school. Yeah. So so that's what's happened.

208
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.759
So this thing is hanging out there
again. Now I suspect because now

209
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:31.080
nothing happens until a mediation in January
that just okay, this has happened.

210
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.559
Let's move on and we'll take care
of it in January. And then look

211
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.679
that that's not a coincidence as to
why they said it for January as opposed

212
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:45.080
to October, November, September.
Rights over an opportunity for for him to

213
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.919
take care of his business. Because
part of this is if if if the

214
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.799
judge saying she should be getting more
money, well he's got to go out

215
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.279
and earn that money. Yeah,
right, So they're they're just getting and

216
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.000
it kind of gave a hint how
much he was making it in il the

217
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.559
car he was driving things like that. So so okay, so let's let's

218
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.080
take the break. Yeah, come
back with mister Lavin good Jim. Yep,

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:37.400
spurteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera,
He's Jakin's Austin and I want to phone.

309
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.480
We have former YU of A athletic

310
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.759
how you doing good? Steve to
deal with you? And Jay absolutely

doing great. Great to have you
on the show. We had you not

312
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:53.079
too long ago and maybe in March
talking a little hoops and stuff. Let

313
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:56.920
me see this My guess, and
I don't think I'm wrong with this,

314
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.119
is that your happiest hell for not
being a D anymore? You know?

315
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:07.960
On see that as a capital h
okay, a capital h on hell.

316
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.720
I mean, holy, how this
stuff changes every hour, not by the

317
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.160
day, week or month, but
every hour now to my knowledge, something

318
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.920
hasn't changed and snoop so shape right, But you're right, No, this

319
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:25.960
is a great life right now to
and I feel for Dave and everybody else

320
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.200
who's in this business right now trying
to make sense of things and wonder what

321
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.119
the next thing unless to do is
Well, well, let's let's ask you

322
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.880
that, because you know, I
mean, I know you're you're still a

323
00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.079
fan. You still you know,
pay attention to all the stuff. You

324
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.319
know, you were, you were
in the middle of it for so long.

325
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.799
What's what have been some of the
conversations you've had with guys who are

326
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.960
still in it, whether it's Hikey
or somebody else that you know that you

327
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.920
know from your past with maybe it's
still an athletic director or you know,

328
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.359
it's still involved with the program,
whatever. What kinds of things do you

329
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.160
hear that they're going through. Well, you know, with guys, the

330
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.079
biggest thing is and I talk to
people every day. I mean, that's

331
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.440
one of the things that kind of
keeps men just is going, and it

332
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.079
keeps me young, so to speak. The worst guys in the profession right

333
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.279
now, guys were retired out of
the profession, and that's all across the

334
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.640
country. The thing I think that
gets all of them mostly, the biggest

335
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:25.160
thing right now is is not knowing
what the next shoe is. What's the

336
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:30.079
next shoe to drop? If we
know there are going to be things everything,

337
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.279
as much of the public might think
right now, you know, things

338
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.279
are settled. You know, we've
got things broken into these conferences and we're

339
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.960
just waiting to see what's going to
have to the coops and the beavers.

340
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.599
But most of the things are settled. They're not. I mean, guys,

341
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.559
are are so many things I think
that are going on behind the scenes

342
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.960
and that that it's crazy. So
that's what keeps the people who are in

343
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:57.599
the professional week. The other people
are just thinking they're lucky stars. And

344
00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:02.240
when they go to sleep tonight at
I put their head down, the fellowinsay,

345
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:07.039
hey, thank goodness that somebody else
can do that today. You must

346
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:08.960
have been and I don't want to
put words in your mouth, but disappointed

347
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.960
or alarmed or whatever word. When
the word came out that the PAC twelve

348
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:19.480
was no longer or back then,
absolutely I wasn't shocked, but because but

349
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.400
I'm not a soothsayer. So I
certainly don't try to think that all the

350
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.519
answers, because you guys both know
that I don't. But I was shocked

351
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:32.200
because of all the history, you
know, going back to the City Coast

352
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.359
Conference, the Pack eight to Pack
ten, the PAC twelve, that they're

353
00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.759
just and you guys, I know
I've talked about this before, but there's

354
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:45.480
just so much historical perspective and having
dealt with so many people over the years

355
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.240
who were part of all of those
things. That's hurtful thing right there.

356
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:55.480
And yet at the same time,
like most you both Jay, you and

357
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.440
Steve Folk know this, it's not
about where you've been, it's about where

358
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.400
you're going, so those kind of
things. It's not trying to be a

359
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:06.680
futurist right here, but it's about
today and tomorrow and what next week,

360
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:10.559
next month. Now, I said
that with regards to that that you know,

361
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:14.079
the Fact twelve, it is about
this year because there's still a PAC

362
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.279
twelve to play in everything, whether
it's football, basketball, tennis, golf,

363
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:25.000
volleyball, baseball, everything. So
yeah, it hurt just because of

364
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:30.079
having all those years between ridicularly between
Washington State and Arizona, having been part

365
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:36.759
of this great conference. So put
yours. Maybe I'm gonna ask you this,

366
00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:38.759
put yourself in the shoes of the
Washington State Athletic director. You were

367
00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:41.039
there, you know, you know, you probably have a good sense of

368
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.039
the culture. You know the things
that it stands for, the things that

369
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.200
it's been. And now they're in
this position where they're sort of in limbo.

370
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.960
I mean, how how would you
be handling that? Well, you

371
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.519
know, the hardest thing. And
I know Pat Royle pat Chung has been

372
00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:00.319
a friend for a long time.
I mean back that they work for Jane

373
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.640
Smith of the Ohio State and he's
a really good athletic director. They've got

374
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:10.039
a good president, Kerk Schultz,
and I have a lot of friends who

375
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:14.559
are sugars. Whether it's on the
west side of the side amounts that.

376
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.039
The answer to the question j I
think in terms of anybody can say,

377
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.240
well, if this would happen,
I do this, We do that.

378
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:27.200
I think the biggest thing right now
is finding throughout what is the most stable

379
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.680
thing that we can possibly do as
a relation to the cougars and the beavers,

380
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.559
and then how are we going to
face the fight? Other words,

381
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.799
the fiscal part of this thing and
of all the other things going on.

382
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.359
That's a proven real thing because the
amount of money that's going to be different

383
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:49.480
regardless of whether there's a merge one
way or another with a Mountain West,

384
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:56.240
with somewhat the AAC is involved a
little bit or whatever, there's going to

385
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:03.200
be a massive propet revenue. And
how do you do those kinds of things

386
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.640
that they're trying to do with the
number of programs are trying to do it

387
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.279
for student athletes? I mean,
how so that's the biggest thing right now

388
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:17.920
and the next September twenty three of
looking sad because of these things. I

389
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.359
mean, you know this you talked
about. Just think about the scheduling aspect

390
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:27.599
that because here and that means so
the massive parts of the parts of the

391
00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:33.839
parts. That's the answer to what
I would do right now. I would

392
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:40.519
and I know they're doing this is
get the break people you can with the

393
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:44.799
best thought you can in terms of
what is that next step. And and

394
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.839
of course the legal the legalities of
all this, and Jay that you with

395
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.640
your brothers, the British background and
things like that, he's going to stand

396
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:59.160
it better. There's just much legalities
and still there to be figured out.

397
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:03.319
That the fact help and money AND's
golle. So guys, there's no there's

398
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.640
no one shoe fixall. There's no
in the answer. It's not a thing

399
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.039
that well we'll do a B and
say and then we'll be okay. I'm

400
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:18.880
just a really tough thing in a
really short time drink. It's all so

401
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.480
in all this, like you said, you don't know what things changed from

402
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.519
hour to hour, seemingly your day
to day. Uh. And since two

403
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:29.279
thousand, let's say twenty twenty.
Uh, you talk about nil they image

404
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.279
and likeness, You talk about the
turnover of the PAC twelve pack twelve,

405
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.000
you talk about the pandemic and the
money lost. I guess there were forty

406
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.680
five million dollars in debt, right
right. I think so many things have

407
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.279
happened, and it's not a quick
fix. All this is not a quick

408
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:48.160
fix. You kind of have a
lot of balls in the air. Say

409
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.839
there's a ton of balls in the
air, and you just absolutely by saying

410
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:56.240
what you just said, I just
reached on the corner of my desk for

411
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:03.160
my bottle of Ecceedron to mc cedrin. Even though I'm not involved that way.

412
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.640
It's just thinking about it. The
number of balls. And again just

413
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.000
to think that you mentioned right there, you know, the realignments and so

414
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.599
on, the NI hell that the
portal so many moving parts that in some

415
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:21.799
ways, and you guys know this, in some ways that affects All those

416
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:25.920
things are interrelated. All of those
things affect each other. And it also

417
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.880
affects universities in terms of the development
fund, rage and how that goes on

418
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.799
in terms of the activists or the
university. So there are so many things.

419
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.839
Anybody who says they have an answer
or has to figure out, they

420
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:42.599
won't work another hour in the rest
of their life because they will make that

421
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:48.160
much money on the consulting tour.
Yeah. So you know, one of

422
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:49.440
the things that we always ask,
like we want to talking to a coach

423
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.240
or a player, you know,
how do you watch the sport that you

424
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.039
were involved in? Right? We
had Randy Robbinson yesterday we were talking about,

425
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.000
you know, how does he watch
a football game? You are an

426
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:04.440
athletic director for all these years,
how do you digest college athletics? So

427
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:08.200
you know, what do you pay
attention to? Uh, you know,

428
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:12.359
were so many things going on,
but say there's a football game in Arizona.

429
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:15.200
Football game, or are you an
LV football game or you know,

430
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:21.440
basketball game or whatever. How do
you digest your sports having the experience that

431
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.599
you have, Jay, It's a
great question. I think the thing I

432
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.640
do now at this stage in life, and that my career and so on

433
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.480
and so forth with kids and grant
kids and so on. I really try

434
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:40.160
to watch and enjoy it for the
enjoyment and not think of all the ramifications

435
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:45.599
because if I get too deep into
the ramifications of what that touchdown pass might

436
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.759
mean or if it was you know, last weekend, whether it's the Wildcats

437
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.559
and the UTAB and I thought the
Cats played great, but the Colorado Colorado

438
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.640
was taking the number of kind of
things. So I try not to get

439
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:02.200
my head get too much in the
way of my heart and just kind of

440
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.880
enjoy it for the spirits event,
because I couldn't do that the days that

441
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.119
I was working in AD because everything
was so important in terms of bottom line

442
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:14.960
and other kind of things. What
was the crowd like, what was the

443
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:19.000
weather like? Uh, what was
the injury situation like? And regardless,

444
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:23.359
it wasn't just football because in everything, the kinds of things, what could

445
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:29.720
what could happen later today that we
don't know about that. We had no

446
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.839
idea. I mean, just last
night's a great example in terms of Nick

447
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:38.000
Chubb and the running back to Cleveland, in terms of how hard he's worked.

448
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:42.119
So I'm not trying to the philosophical
guys, but there are just so

449
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:45.880
I've watched it and answer your question. I just try to watch it now

450
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:52.839
for the pure enjoyment of young people
competing and trying to do the very as

451
00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.000
they can. And then you know
what the greatest thing is. And I

452
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.920
care about the wildcats, and I
care about the Cougar, I care about

453
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.279
the rebels, and I care about
the Saluti. Care about all those things.

454
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:07.839
But I don't have to wake up
or go to bed Saturday night and

455
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.839
wonder what I feel like when I
get up Sunday morning. No, no,

456
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.200
without questions, without question. I
remember talking to you a number of

457
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:18.000
times about this. It's like it's
like back in the day when we talk,

458
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.400
you had five hundred and fifty.
I don't know how many student athletes

459
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.160
back there, but they're all kids, and something overnight could happen. And

460
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.720
the worst thing when you get a
call past midnight, you never get a

461
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.359
good call as midnight, right,
see if we talked about that. You

462
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.160
know, so many times you never
knew my dad, just to say that

463
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.720
anybody that fellows you after midnight,
quoth or whatever, nobody's ever calling you

464
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:44.119
to say, hey, you know
what a fuck your birthday tomorrow are.

465
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:52.279
When I got calls after midnight,
typically something was wrong that needed and immediate

466
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:56.960
attention. It was most things that
we'll say, hey, Kbosi late at

467
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.359
night, we'll talk about later all
No, it was something that needed media

468
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.720
attention. So and that's true in
life, guys, for you, guys,

469
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:07.400
for everybody when you get calls,
and it seems like there's a correlation

470
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:13.759
that the earlier in the morning that
the call came after midnight, the more

471
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:19.279
serious it was. Right. Hey, the nice thing now is I don't

472
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.640
worry about those kinds of I worry
about it in terms of kids and grand

473
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.319
kids certainly, but I don't worry
about in terms of student athletes, because

474
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.720
you're right, with all the number
of different directions we would have going on

475
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:32.880
with student athletes and all of our
different sports. Hey, young people are

476
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.599
young people, and sometimes they're not
always going to make great, sometimes not

477
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.799
even good decisions based on time,
place, and where they are So one

478
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.559
another thing that we talked about back
in the day you came you left Arizona

479
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:50.799
nearly at the beginning of the social
media at times, and the Twitter and

480
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:54.079
the Facebook and all that. I'd
like to call it crap, but back

481
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:55.839
in the day, it was the
start of it. And I know,

482
00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:59.880
being in your office one time and
you said, you know what, Steve,

483
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.920
you could tell those comments or some
of the comments back then we're coming

484
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:07.680
like after midnight and people on the
internet kind of trolling and say, you

485
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.799
know, Jim Living Good socks and
the Specimo tief sucks and blah blah blaces.

486
00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.359
Yeah, I don't pay attention to
that because it's that two o'clock dude.

487
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:16.799
Right, he's got a few bubblies
and you know he's just talk now

488
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:21.880
you hear at twenty four seven.
Well, Stevens exactly right, and those

489
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:23.640
kind of things. I mean,
that was one of the things that you're

490
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:28.119
right, I missed a good part
of that during the time here at Arizona.

491
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.359
And the amazing thing and of course
it's it's more true now, much

492
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:37.640
more true every day now is people
on whatever device, not just necessary to

493
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:42.039
the cell phone, but whatever device
you're using the minute you and I'm talking

494
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.480
generically, guys, not to you
both that the minutes to hits Sam.

495
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.880
It's Sam. It's not something that
well, we can recapture that. And

496
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.920
so many things are done now for
and you understand this better than I do,

497
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:57.839
because you guys are in the profession. So many things are done for

498
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.240
flip. So many things are done
for sound by, so many things,

499
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:05.839
things that whether it's a student athlete
or an athletic director or a coach or

500
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.639
whomever, so many things are done
that if you just had a little bit,

501
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:15.320
a little bit of time to kind
of rethink that, we probably wouldn't

502
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:17.719
say it because you know it's going
to be a sound bite. You know

503
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.559
it's going to be something in somebody
social media circle that's going to be out

504
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.239
there. And once it's out there, guys, it seemed as a fossil.

505
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.480
I mean, once it's out there, it must be true because it

506
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.559
was Hey I saw online? Yeah, absolutely right, one more glass thing

507
00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.360
at least for me. Did you
realize, I'm not sure you realized that

508
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:43.679
you created a monster on this little
kid from northern northern New Mexico, small

509
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:47.199
town, northern New Mexico. Now
the contest a monster out there. What

510
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:52.639
did you do at Washington State with
this kid? He is? He's a

511
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.639
beauty. He I say, where
he is. It's like having I tell

512
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:59.800
Jeremy and Michelle all the time.
I like having another son because basically,

513
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.599
you know, my first hitter rationalist
Chris was when he was twenty two years

514
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:09.519
old at Washington State when I hired, had had stain shells and the Latin

515
00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:15.159
fields met. But he's done an
amazing job and he isn't not a hotbed

516
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:17.480
of hotbeds. Now, I got
you guys, as you well know.

517
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:22.480
Now he stayed handsomely for that.
Yeah, well it's not like that.

518
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.400
He is, he's hurting bread,
but he's a dandy, does a great

519
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:29.519
job, and he handles the pressure. Well. He's got a great wife

520
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:31.719
and the two great daughters. And
we're the as you probably will know,

521
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:37.519
we're the the god parents too,
Sophia. Okay, that's cool, that's

522
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.880
very cool. Yeah, well,
Jim appreciate, we appreciate the time.

523
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:45.079
This has been fun. We love
we love talking to you. You're saying

524
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:47.639
you're such a positive guy. Right. Steve and I were talking about how

525
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.920
all the athletic directors here have really
been pretty good. Guys, you know,

526
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.880
going back to said Dempsey United,
No, Dave's track. But you

527
00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:00.400
know that even even when we ask
you a question that you just don't want

528
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:04.159
an answer, you always answer it
anyways kind of in your case, with

529
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.159
a smile on your face. We
always appreciate that. Jay for saying that.

530
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:10.119
I appreciate that more than you know. But guys, you think you

531
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:14.920
appreciate what you do, and anytime
I can beself in any way, Hey,

good look talk Really dude who always had

536
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:30.519
a smile on his face. Yeah
yeah, and you never knew if the

537
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:32.360
bad news was coming. You know, he would have bad news, but

538
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:36.159
somehow you'd figure out a way to, you know, to make it not

539
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:38.320
seem so bad. I always always
thought that about him. Pretty cool,

540
00:36:38.320 --> 00:36:40.639

who led them, competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters

for his twenty five years as Arizona's
beloved coach. Lessons from Loot is an

624
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:42.239
really really interested to hear, you
know how somebody like that who's been in

625
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.400
the position that he was in,
how he you know, watches sports right,

626
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:50.039
because when you when you, I
mean, I think back to the

627
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:52.840
time that no question, when I
left it, when I left covering sports,

628
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:57.039
and I went back to just being
a fan, and even like at

629
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.159
a U of a football game,
I'd be sitting at the stadium, all

630
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.920
right, and I was I was
like kind of holding back a little bit

631
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:06.840
in terms of just being an all
out fan. Yeah, you know,

632
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:08.559
I was still take it. I
didn't see quite right for me to be

633
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.679
jumping up and down and sure,
you know, yelling and screaming and stuff

634
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.559
and uh and you know when you, as Jim said, you know,

635
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:21.000
you live and die with every game
of every ensure, every sport. Sure,

636
00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:22.760
right when you're an athletic director.
But now you know he gets to

637
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.440
just kind of sit on the side
and let somebody else worry about all the

638
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.920
craptic goes on. No question,
no, no question. This why I

639
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:34.119
don't get involved like that. Ja. That's and that's the damn rams.

640
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:38.000
Every so many times I get involved
because you I want to enjoy the game.

641
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:39.599
I'm not like you. I'm not
going to put the juice on it

642
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.960
just to enjoy the game. I
just want to enjoy the game because I

643
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.079
don't want to I want to avoid
the stress. Should I take that as

644
00:43:45.320 --> 00:43:49.599
like a shot of the shot across
the bout? No, No, not

645
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.920
like you, because you you do
it, because you do it just you

646
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.440
would have I. I you know, I didn't give a crap about even

647
00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:59.320
either game last night, nor you
would have you right? And I wouldn't

648
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:02.159
have. But you know, I've
known over over time in football pool and

649
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:06.880
stuff like that that home doog on
Monday night is a thing. And so

650
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:08.840
I just threw a little you know, I had a I had a free

651
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:13.400
bet, all right, so it
wasn't my money, and I put you

652
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:15.639
know, I took a two team
part lay on the two homedogs last night

653
00:44:15.840 --> 00:44:20.000
and I hit it. Yeah.
No, it's fun and it's not enough.

654
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:21.920
It's just who you are, and
it's who I am in terms of

655
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:24.000
enjoyment. That's why I don't cheer
for the Cowboys. I don't cheer for

656
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:29.159
the red I just kind of watched
the game. It's funny because he he

657
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.880
probably has a better enjoyment of things. Now you can just go okay,

658
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:36.159
I mean I can imagine Jim,
you know, on a Saturday, you

659
00:44:36.199 --> 00:44:37.559
know, hanging out wherever he hangs
out, stand on the couch, you

660
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:43.199
know, watching some games, flipping
channels and you know why you don't watching

661
00:44:43.239 --> 00:44:45.679
Arizona and not. I'm sure he
cares, but he knows that. As

662
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:49.159
he said, I don't have to
get up on Sunday morning to hear about

663
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.639
it. Yeah right, And and
that that that's just an interesting, an

664
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.519
interesting way of of going, you
know, after you've been in a career

665
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:00.440
like he was in no question,
as we get older, as we get

666
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:04.760
older, and now not at the
tail end, but kind of near the

667
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.800
end, we're glad that we don't
have to cover games, I mean covered

668
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:12.280
bike. The calls, well,
we kind of talk about them. We're

669
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:15.119
react reactor, We watch them and
pay attention, but you know, we

670
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:17.400
just have whatever our natural reaction.
We're not digging into it, right.

671
00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:22.320
I mean the conversations you know I
have with you here, I'm having with

672
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:24.320
you know, my friends that I
hang out with when we talk about the

673
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:28.000
game, it's kind of the same
conversation. I think you and I go

674
00:45:28.039 --> 00:45:30.320
a little deeper because we you know, we should. We know, that's

675
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:35.400
what that's what people listening to us
on you know, are hoping to get

676
00:45:35.480 --> 00:45:38.280
from us. But in a large
part the conversations we're having in here,

677
00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:42.480
our conversations that I have with whoever, sure, Sure, and it's it's

678
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.360
you know, I think our crowd
is the older crowd. We skew a

679
00:45:45.400 --> 00:45:49.960
little older, which is which you
know, our our demographic, which is

680
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:52.599
fine, which is fine. It's
just fine. No, it's good to

681
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:54.159
have them on the show. Anybody, We got about six minutes. If

682
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:58.079
you feel like calling, give us
a call. We'd like to hear from

683
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.320
you. A lot of stuff going
on. The Delora thing, somebody.

684
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:04.360
Another guy just sent me the Delora
thing. We talked about it. All

685
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:07.320
right, we'll see how that plays
out. But I don't think the next

686
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:13.159
eight games. Eight games, yeah, eight nine games. I'm still hopeful

687
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.360
that that it's gonna be. It's
not gonna be easy on him on the

688
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:19.079
road. It's not you know,
he's you know, they gotta go to

689
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:22.880
well. Yeah, they don't give
a crap about stuff like that. Yeah,

690
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:27.599
but yeah, but you know,
but they do if they have something

691
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.800
to mock before they will. Actually
they're very good at that. I mean,

692
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:34.639
the band has been kicked out of
games for stuff. They look to

693
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:38.920
the best, the best places to
ever sometimes ever watch a game, Maples

694
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:44.719
Maple's Court. Maybe those dudes were
still Obviously they're smart, right, and

695
00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:49.719
they're smart assets exactly. Yes,
we have a caller. You're on the

696
00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:52.199
air and I on the ball.
Hey Jay, this is done. How

697
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:58.320
are you guys doing? Pretty good? Don what's up? Hey? Something

698
00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:04.679
that's kind of lugging me right now
because I haven't heard anything is going forward

699
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:09.599
next school year in the Big twelve. Are we gonna have a viewing option

700
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:14.599
like the Pac twelve network to be
able to watch the non revenue sports,

701
00:47:15.199 --> 00:47:19.719
you know? Because yeah, I
think they're working on that. Yeah.

702
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.800
I think I think that with the
new contract, you you're you're probably gonna

703
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:28.320
need something like ESPN Plus, you
know, to catch some of that stuff

704
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:30.079
because you go on there, like
go on this, I know, just

705
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:34.400
I don't know if you have any
an ESPN Plus accompany. If you go

706
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:37.239
on ESPN Plus and you look through
the directory of stuff that's on, it's

707
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.559
all that stuff. So that's I
think. I think that that's where you'll

708
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:44.559
a lot of stuff on there.
Yeah, so done. I think that's

709
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:47.440
where you'll find it. So done. How vigilant are you doing this for

710
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:57.960
minor sports? Well, I mean, my granddaughter was born almost a year

711
00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:00.920
ago, and I didn't get to
go to any base ball games this year,

712
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:07.360
so I watched a lot of UFA
baseball on the network. I watched

713
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:12.599
a lot of some of some of
the softball. And then when you see

714
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:16.719
when you see women's basketball against the
ranked team, or the volleyball team in

715
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:22.440
a match or whatever. I would
watch. I would watch UFA Sports like

716
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:25.400
every other day. It seems like
for you, well, you're gonna have

717
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.440
to you know. You realize though, there's now sixteen teams in the league,

718
00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:32.960
so it's probably gonna get spread a
little dinner. But I would imagine

719
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.400
things like women's basketball, you're gonna
see a lot of that. I believe.

720
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:38.760
It's like, I think that's the
deal, right, isn't it ESPN

721
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:42.719
plus work. All that stuff is
gonna be because there's not gonna be a

722
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:49.119
PAC twelve network anymore. Yeah,
but a lot of a lot of the

723
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:52.159
games that were on the PAC twelve
network we're on that. We're on the

724
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:58.719
app anyway. We're like, especially
the UFA baseball games, there was a

725
00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.840
camera behind home plate and no sound, no nothing, and there's a game,

726
00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:07.079
well then you could just watch it. Those are things that those are

727
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:09.920
things that the schools do. They
can, you know, if a game

728
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:15.480
is not going to be on a
network, they can do their own broadcast.

729
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.559
And that's where you see. It's
kind of you know, the product

730
00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:23.280
is kind of minimal, but you
still you still get the game, right,

731
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:29.440
whether it's a softball game. The
schools can stream stuff on their own,

732
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:32.480
and the UA does a good job
of that, and I hope,

733
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:36.239
I hope they continue it. It'd
be nice for it to be on a

734
00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:39.239
format like the PAC twelve network or
if it's if it's ESPN Plus, that's

735
00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:45.599
great. You know, hopefully the
Big twelve poaches a bunch of that,

736
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:49.840
the PAC twelve network folks, right, because you said, I wonder what's

737
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:53.039
gonna happen to people like uh like
Yogi Roth, Ashley Adamson, you know,

738
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:57.199
all those people that do the studio
shows that you'd like to think that

739
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.679
they'd have somewhere to go, whether
it's the Big twelve or wherever. Yeah,

740
00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:06.880
it would be nice because it's it
was good programming, Yeah it was.

741
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:08.840
It was a bad plan the way
they launched it, and then they

742
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:13.320
never launched a NAP. I mean, we could have They could have made

743
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:17.199
up a lot of the money that
the pack the old PAC twelve teams were

744
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:20.719
looking for. They could have made
up a lot if they would have just

745
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:24.400
sold it as a NAP as a
streaming service, right, because I would

746
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:29.000
have bought it instead of using somebody
else's password. Oops, did I say

747
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:32.400
that out loud. Who do you
live? Done? I live? I

748
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:38.880
live over on the West Side.

you know. I well, okay, you know Direct TV doesn't have

751
00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:51.800
Sunday Ticket anymore. So I greatly
trained off my my daughter's student account,

752
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:54.400
you know, for a couple of
years for Sunday Ticket. Now I'm paying

full price for you know, it's
nearly five hundred dollars. Oh wow.

754
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.360
Well I split it with my brother, okay, because you can do you

755
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:06.119
can, so he can watch it. I can watch it at the same

756
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:08.920
time. So there's a couple of
I paid. It's actually it was turned

757
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:12.559
out to be four hundred and eighty
dollars who paid. So that's how we're

it for an easy Sunday morn. You

can flip channels and watch whatever you
want. I'm gonna I'm gonna say the

762
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:34.599
Sunday Ticket now much improved over in
terms of watching multiple games all at once.

763
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:37.400
