Hey, welcome 3 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.759 back to it in the bright you know on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen times Steve, 4 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.239 you're Jakins Oz and I hope you have some breaking news. I do 5 00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:27.839 USI pobility you did. This is I on the ball breaking news on Fox 6 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.359 Sports fourteen fifty's gonna see you bury the lead. I'm not going to bury 7 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.759 the league. One of the big big news items of the day. Uh. 8 00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:40.960 Five NFL players, including uh four of them with the Lions, one 9 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.439 of them a former Arizona guy. Guy. We really think a lot of 10 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:50.640 them sat right there and here in our studio suspended by the NFL for violating 11 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:58.240 the the NFL's gambling policy. Um. Three of them were busted for actually 12 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.880 betting on NFL game. Big no no. In the rules, you can't 13 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:07.200 bet on NFL games. Um. The rules do allow players to bet on 14 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:15.040 other sports, but you can't do it from team facilities whatnot. And that's 15 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.680 Stanley berry Hill, the wide receiver from Arizona. Uh uh was here for 16 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.439 Jed's first year. Got himself into the NFL with the Lions. Um was 17 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.280 one of the two players he got himself a six game suspension with with one 18 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.840 of the other players for UM for betting on something other than football. But 19 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.400 they did it from the training facility and so that that's against the rules. 20 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.560 Um. And then the other three guys, one was with the with the 21 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:48.439 Commanders, the two the two guys with the Lions all got suspended for a 22 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.760 year. The two Lions players were released by the Lions already. They're like 23 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:59.239 they're gone, they're out, and so um. You know the thing about 24 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:05.040 this is begs a whole bunch of issues now. And you know, uh, 25 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.560 you know, media and fans calling the NFL hypocrites. You know you're 26 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.599 in bed with the gambling sites. You know, Draft Kings, who we 27 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.080 endorse, is an official betting partner of the NFL. But then you're suspending 28 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:24.199 your players for gambling. Now, I get. You can't have guys betting 29 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:29.080 on NFL games. That's true, no matter what, no matter how in 30 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:34.439 bed these guys are, how married the NFL is to fan duel and Draft 31 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.479 Kings and MGM and bet MGM and all of those, you can't have players 32 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.800 betting on their sports. So sure, I don't. I don't have a 33 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.400 problem with that. Sure. The other one is, though, is that 34 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.000 you know, you you got sports books and then this is this has been 35 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:52.919 the argument. You got sports books opening in stadium. Yeah right, there's 36 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:57.639 a bit there's a bricks and mortars sports book outside the Cardinal Stadium. Yet 37 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.199 they're telling players don't bet from NFL facilities. That's the one that people have 38 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.960 a problem, right, Well, aren't they these big fan sites one who 39 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.840 we endorsement right, Uh, kind of in bed with the NFL. If 40 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.719 not owned by the NFL, they're not owned by the NFL, but they're 41 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.879 partners with the big part. I don't. I don't think NFL invest in 42 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.400 them, but they share revenue, right because when the NFL to allow them 43 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.039 to use the product, the betting sites have to pay for them, you 44 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.639 know. And then again you have you know, as I said, you 45 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.080 know Draft Kings an official sports betting partner of the NFL. That's in the 46 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.919 read that I do when we've got endorsements to do. So that's where people 47 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.520 are saying there's a there's a fuzzy line here that that that's that's in place 48 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.479 how long can you do this and what are you gonna do? So? 49 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.919 Um uh Now, Jamison Williams I believe Jamison Williams and Stanley berry Hill are 50 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:58.000 the two um Lions players who only got suspended for six months for six games. 51 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.280 The Lions have said, you know, we're going to talk to them. 52 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.199 We're gonna make sure that they understand you can't do this yet a yet. 53 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.400 Look you know, and I know you try and bet on it. 54 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.080 You're trying to use a betting site. They know where you are. They 55 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.080 know exactly where you are because every time you sign on, they've got to 56 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.439 locate you to know that you're in a place that allows betting, whether you're 57 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.480 in the right state or whatever. By for instance, my understanding is if 58 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:29.600 you're one of like one of the local tribal casinos, you can't use use 59 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.560 it because because the geo fencing, you can't use the betting sites because they 60 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:39.680 have sports. So so you know, they know precisely where you are. 61 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.439 So they obviously knew that Stanley berry Hill was betting from the Lions facility. 62 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:47.480 So you can't do that. Now. Look, whether you like the rule 63 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.879 or not, it is the rule, right, I mean you're driving down 64 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.519 the street at forty miles forty miles an hour in a thirty miles an hour 65 00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.720 zone, you can't tell the opposite. Well, I think the speed limits 66 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:01.279 should be forty, so don't give me a ticket. Well that's not how 67 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.079 it works. The loss as thirty. You're getting the ticket and forty. 68 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.639 But you know, but these are the first guys that have been suspended since 69 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.839 Calvin Ridley got suspended for a year from the from the Falcons forebetting on a 70 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.720 Falcons game while he was out on an injury. So bury the league. 71 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.160 Yeah, that was the story talking about it all right, Um okay, 72 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.720 uh The nc Double a football. Remember we brought these rules that they were 73 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:36.199 talking about implementing the they're going to implement them, right. The clock will 74 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:42.639 run after first downs except in the last two minutes of each half. So 75 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.240 that's that's been a big difference between the NFL game and NCY Double. Again, 76 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.639 the NFL, the clock continues to run on first downs. Everybody wants 77 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.720 to speed up these games right in that window, a three hour window, 78 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:57.199 Yeah, they do. So the clock will run on first downs except in 79 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.399 the last two minutes and a half. Uh. Um, you can't have 80 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.160 back to back timeouts, so you can ice the kicker once, but you 81 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.680 can't ice them again, so you can't do that anymore. And then a 82 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.319 one that just kind of doesn't happen very often, but if there's a if 83 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.839 there's a penalty at the end of a at the end of a third quarter 84 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.879 or or the first quarter, they would do an untimed down. That's gonna 85 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.360 go away. They'll do that. They'll do that penalty the first play of 86 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.160 the next quarter. That's that's not a big time, say everybody. It's 87 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.519 just well, that was one of those we just got to clean this up 88 00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.720 kind of rules thing. So these rules will be in effect for the next 89 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:40.160 college football season, all right, um. John Willner reporting that those two 90 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:46.600 PAC twelve executives who got fired over that money that Comcast money, fifty million 91 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:54.120 dollars under overpayment that Comcast made and these two executives were fired saying that they 92 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.800 knew about it and didn't do anything about it. They're filing a wrong termination 93 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.720 complaint against a conference saying that Larry Scott knew about the whole thing, shocked 94 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:08.040 shocker, right, and told them not to do or say anything. I'm 95 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:13.519 shocked, so on top of on top of having to come up at the 96 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.240 fifteen million bucks there there, it seems to be you know what, that's 97 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.160 one that I wish I was a lawyer, I take I could even not 98 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.920 being a lawyer, I can win that, right, I can win that 99 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.839 case. Right now, no one's heard from him, how they have since 100 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.720 he left that I nobody's heard from him. I think somebody tried to go 101 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.120 tried to interview him and his island that he bought little while back. Exactly. 102 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:39.360 Um, all right, I got a couple of couple of uh things 103 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.720 happened in the NBA playoffs last night. First, Joel and Be kicked a 104 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.279 guy in the nards who was taunting him. Hit him. Yeah, well 105 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.160 I got him between the legs and the upper I'm guessing he got him in 106 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.560 the yards. Somebody made somebody made the joke that he only got him in 107 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.439 one, so he only should have gotten you know, like penalty, right 108 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.920 he got he got yet you get hit one, Okay, you feels right? 109 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.040 So so there was that kerfuffle. Then later on in the game, 110 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.800 James Harden throws a forearm shiver to a guy, but it kind of gets 111 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.959 away from and he got him in the nard and they tossed James Harden, 112 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.720 what an inconsistent call, right, sir, right kicks okay, but a 113 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.079 little there's a little nudge and then a little nudge in the nuts and then 114 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.240 you get and you get tossed from the game. You know, James Harden 115 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.560 heard him. He thought when they blew the whist, he thought the fall 116 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.759 was on the other guy because the guy was leaning into him, and then 117 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.200 all a sudden he felt, not only does the fall on him, he 118 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.919 got tossed, and so a lot of complaints. Doc Rivers just on the 119 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.440 record said that was horrible. You know, not only should have not been 120 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.159 a file, should have been following the other guy, and on top of 121 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.840 that, you can't throw him out of the game. And he was kind 122 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:54.240 of saying that it seems like where it used to be that the Stars could 123 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.919 get away with things that now the Stars are being closely watched, and you 124 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.879 know, they're they're getting more stuff, you know, the getting more files 125 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.679 there, you know, the getting thrown out of games, and it's like, 126 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.200 what the hell is going on? You know, people come to pay 127 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.080 to see these guys play. We're gonna toss him because he did a little 128 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:13.000 push off that happened to slip down and get a guy in the nether region. 129 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.639 I mean, what do you what are we doing? Here's what upset? 130 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.159 What's the world coming to where you can't hit somebody in the nards and 131 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:28.399 get seriously seriously fun man, Come on, um okay um uh, Arizone's 132 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.759 got an Arizona women have a new assistant coach. She was a special assistant 133 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:39.600 to UH to UH Dia Barnes or her name is bet Shelby. Uh. 134 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.720 She was already here, she was moving, she was she was she was 135 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.080 not an analyst. Yeah, like she was the one who come and put 136 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.360 the lineups in the score books like that. So she had a role as 137 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.720 she was exactly. So now she she's a full time assistant UH and it's 138 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:05.320 announcing and it's an ouncement on Twitter. The women's basketball UH program said that 139 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.919 she's regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country. We'll get him 140 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.320 and we'll get some players. A lot, got a lot of work to 141 00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.960 do. Um all right, UH, A little personal for me. The 142 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.919 Dodgers were getting their faces kicked in today, got into the h got into 143 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.320 the U I think the eighth inning, seventh inning or eighth inning, and 144 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.919 the Dodgers were getting wiped out and a perfect game was being thrown against him. 145 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.399 So then Dodgers guy hits a slow roller up the third base line, 146 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.039 kind of in the grass. The pitcher comes out to make the play, 147 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.639 the catcher comes out to make the play, they collide and it's a base 148 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.559 hit. He's the only hit of the game and loses the perfect game on 149 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.360 that play. It's the video is all over Twitter. It's like basically saying, 150 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:54.639 that's a crappy way to lose a perfect game. Now you know, 151 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.519 it was a close no play that they don't know if he would have got 152 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.000 him anyways, but he might have, but he had no chance to get 153 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:01.919 him because they fell over each other and I didn't get the play. Did 154 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.919 they win last night? They lost the one last night? I was yeah, 155 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.000 it with two two and the two two in the ninth and uh, 156 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.960 James out in the rookie center field. It's hard to center grand I don't 157 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:16.000 follow you guys because I don't really care about you guys. But the center 158 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.799 fielder, now it was a former Dodger with the Cubs, was his name, 159 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.279 Cody Vllen. It's hard to see him in the Cubs unif. It 160 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.600 is hard to see him his Cubs in from and he's tearing the Dodgers apart. 161 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.879 He's played uh five games against him. Think he's got three homers. 162 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.759 Oh, he hasn't done crap against anybody else. Anyways, the Cubs lose, 163 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:39.000 a lose, a a perfect game and the dodd it's the largest Dodger 164 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.000 shut out against the Cubs since nineteen thirty. Well, you know it terms 165 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.759 of thirteen to nothing. So that was a bad one. You know. 166 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.279 I was, I was. I was babysitting to my grandson today and so 167 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.200 I was on the couch. He was asleep. I didn't want to move 168 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.879 and the remote control was out of reach JET, so I had to watch 169 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.039 it. JET. Do you know what we're unders you under your poops today? 170 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:09.559 Four or five? All right? I mentioned it briefly yesterday. Those 171 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.519 Cardinals uniforms came out that they were unveiled last night. They're awful. Oh, 172 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.320 so that means you're gonna have A'm not gonna play well in those are 173 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.240 not They're gonna be terrible because of the uniforms. They unveiled an all red 174 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.759 uniform that has like nothing on it. It says Arizona across the front. 175 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.399 It's got the can you see it? What's what's the Arizona color? Blue? 176 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.320 Arizona. The Arizona is in white white across the chest. Do you 177 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.600 know how sometimes Arizone has reds universe I can't read the names right. So 178 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:41.399 there's a Nike swoosh, a white Nike swush on the pant. You got 179 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.480 the white I mean, you've got the NFL logo on the pant. Other 180 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.960 than that says Arizona and the number and nothing else on there. It's it's 181 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.559 like somebody said, you got these out of the Wilson catalog, right. 182 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.639 And then the white uniform just has a little striping on the shoulders, uh 183 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.440 not in a little piping on the pants. And the black uniform is just 184 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:01.559 solid, a little striping on the shoulders and that's it. I was like 185 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.879 somebody got power Point and said I can make this uniform and they did. 186 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.360 That's what they came up with. Well, they deserve to have a bad 187 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.200 season because they're gonna have a bad season because they got bad uniforms. Um 188 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.080 Devin Cambridge the the the ACU guy who went into the transfer portal. He's 189 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.120 the brother of the guy that made the I thought it was the guy who 190 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:28.519 made the long shot against his own it's his brother. He'd gone into the 191 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:33.159 transfer portal. He is not going to Oregon. Oh well wow, so 192 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.039 he transferred from ACU to Oregon. So uh, oh wow, man, 193 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.159 that's guy. Uh, that's the uh, that's the portal for you. 194 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.000 All right, Uh, just about out of time. Arizona softball and baseball 195 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.600 are busy this weekend. Softball is at the Oregon schools, starting to at 196 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.399 Oregon starting tonight. They've only got three packed pall series left. They got 197 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.039 to get on their horse. They're three and twelve in the conference, so 198 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.080 if they swept the nine games, they get to five hundred in the conference, 199 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.480 that would probably get him in the tournament. But if they don't do 200 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.679 something like that, they'll probably not even getting the postseason last year. And 201 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.120 baseball is at home this weekend. They've got the Utah in town. They 202 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.000 got to get to work two as well.

This Ncuba tournament. I saw you everywhere 271 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.880 on that television. Oh thanks for setting me up right out of gat. 272 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.640 It's great to do with you guys today. Nobody's true. You must have 273 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.599 been I saw you everywhere every site there was, But you must have been 274 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.319 glad to be home, because that's a that's a heck of a job. 275 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.640 Well yeah, hey, it's really a privilege to be part of the group. 276 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.680 For those listeners. I mean, I know I was been a part 277 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.839 of the selection committee for men's basketball, and part of that is not only 278 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:00.079 selecting the teams, but traveling around and going to the different sites. And 279 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.200 I think I slept in Tucsons six nights in March. So it's good to 280 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.799 be back on the ground and with our group here and doing things inside of 281 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.160 Tucson. Well, how's the wallet after having to spend two out of three 282 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:15.599 weeks in Vegas, right for the first to Pac twelve tournament and then uh 283 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.119 and then the regional up there. Well, yeah, we do a lot 284 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.559 in Vegas. Actually I didn't get to go to the Pawel because you would 285 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.519 have been with the selection committee. You're right. I was in Indianapolis with 286 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.880 the committee selecting the field, and then then went to Denver and I was, 287 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.400 you know, at that site, then went to Las Vegas for that 288 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.559 site, and then obviously to the final four. It's a it's a lot 289 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.440 of fun. It's great basketball. It's interesting to watch different programs, how 290 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.640 they operate, how they how their coaches coach, you know, how the 291 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.599 kids react. It's just it's very interesting and hum Again. You know, 292 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.720 hey, our goal is to be there at Arizona, and I know Tommy 293 00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:53.599 wants to be there. We're going to be in the thick of it as 294 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:57.599 we go forward. Is being on the selection committee and actually you know doing 295 00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.759 that, you know for that week, how much of it is fun and 296 00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:06.839 how much of it gives you a headache? Well, look, there's a 297 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:11.839 tremendous it's it's look, it's a great responsibility and it's very important and you've 298 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.599 got to put your full effort into it. You have to commit to really 299 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.160 centering around. Our job is to make sure the right teams, the best 300 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:25.119 teams get in. It's very hard sometimes in selecting between a few teams, 301 00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.319 you're just really cutting hairs and it does give you sometimes a headache. But 302 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:32.799 the group, it's one on one of twelve and you know, we work 303 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.480 through that in a way together. But then also ultimately individuals vote and bring 304 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.720 teams over and bring teams into the tournament. So it's a really outstanding process. 305 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.440 It's uh, you know the other thing I don't those who are affiliated 306 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:49.960 with teams or conferences that are being talked about aren't even in the room, 307 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.480 So you kind of take that component out and and that's really you know, 308 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.319 continues to keep the integrity of the process so or so good stuff and again 309 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.960 again it's a it's fun again. I'm catching my breath. You definitely need 310 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.279 to recharge after you do it. So, Dave, this question might be 311 00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:11.640 obnoxious, but it's coming from me. So you expected. Um, you've 312 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:17.000 been here about five years now. You'll probably call the Arizona base passionate. 313 00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:22.119 Today we've kind of called them looney tunes a looney tuners because Tom Lloyd doesn't 314 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.319 get a recruit. Oh, the world is gonna end in the UA fandom. 315 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.559 Um, could you give some perspective on just how life is you have 316 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.920 a nil. We had Adam Lazaris earlier in the week kind of pumping up 317 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.240 the programs and stuff like, what do you need from this fan base? 318 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:41.839 Well, hey, we need to continue to have that great passion. Okay, 319 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.480 that's what makes this place special. Let's not forget that. Um. 320 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:51.519 This is a really unique and UM I think challenging time in college athletics. 321 00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.680 There's so many forces that are at at you know, in action right now, 322 00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:59.799 whether that's the name, image and likeness, UM, the deal, 323 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:04.359 whether that's transfer portal, which has really resulted in unrestricted free agency, puts 324 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:11.440 enormous pressure. It begins. What used to be a recruiting period now is 325 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:17.440 basically a three hundred and sixty five day a year recruiting period. And I 326 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:21.839 don't think that's fair to coaches. I think it puts fans in weird spaces 327 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.000 because we're on high alert now every day of the year. I'm not shying 328 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.599 away from anything here. I also think you have to put it in perspective. 329 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.920 You know, these kids make decisions and they go It's not like we're 330 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.880 all in one basket and that's all that there is. Every day, you 331 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:41.279 just keep grinding away and working hard. And you know, remember we all 332 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.559 make choices to go right or left, and sometimes when someone goes left, 333 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:48.720 you've just got to be able to pivot and figure out someone that will turn 334 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.640 right. And you know, that's what we're doing, and that's what our 335 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.799 coaches don't have great faith in Tommy and his staff. And again, at 336 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.440 this point last year, we didn't have a transfer. Now it's like if 337 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.079 you didn't have a transfer in day one, somehow you're doing something wrong. 338 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.759 So I do get a little irritated with the system that has become that has 339 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:10.720 been created. I'm not blaming it. It's been created, and then all 340 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.680 of the ramifications of that that have really I think are unfair to coaches, 341 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.680 to fans, to kids, to programs. I'm going to comment on this 342 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.400 in a different way, Dave. There's a good segment of the Arizona fan 343 00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.880 base that I just flat out do not like. And I don't like him, 344 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.799 and he's one of them. He's he's among the fans. Yeah, 345 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.599 And I mean I'm a fan. I'm a fan. I think I'm a 346 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.680 good fan because I feel like, I mean, am I passionate about football? 347 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:40.839 Absolutely? Do I want them to win all the time. Absolutely. 348 00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:45.799 I'm upset when they lose. Absolutely, But I don't rail on a coach 349 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:51.559 or a player for making a decision that's the best decision for them, you 350 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:55.279 know, Like the stuff that happened, you know with kur creasea all these 351 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.400 people wanted him gone, then he was gone. Another upset that he's gone 352 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.880 all of a sudden. Today, Mommy Lloyd can't recruit because this kid from 353 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:06.200 Crayton went to gonzag instead of Arizona. And those are the fans that kill 354 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.680 me. And I don't know how you guys do this. I hear you 355 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.759 that you love the passion. You love the fact that they care that much. 356 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.680 But to me, it's it's got a grind on you. Well, 357 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.839 I think it can be trying at times. Again, got to put it 358 00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:25.920 in perspective, a step back again, have confidence in our process and our 359 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.680 coaches and what we can do. And you know, let's let's let the 360 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.680 season and the work through the years um speak for itself. And you know 361 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.720 it works sometimes. Hey, do I get bummed out when we don't win? 362 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:42.119 Am I disappointed when somebody who doesn't choose Arizona? Because I think Arizona 363 00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:45.480 is the best place for everybody, right And I feel that way too, 364 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.240 And I know that if someone chooses us, they're gonna have an unbelievable experience 365 00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:53.640 here. Okay they didn't, I'm gonna go get someone who's excited to be 366 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:56.799 here, wants to be here, and it's gonna you know, really be 367 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.039 part of that experience and really use it. So again, I'm not gonna 368 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:03.440 let it bog me down. I'm not gonna let that happen. I want 369 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:10.440 fans to be excited, enthusiastic, but look at having success, whether it's 370 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:14.680 winning games, getting recruits, you know, winning championships, it's hard to 371 00:26:14.759 --> 00:26:18.880 do and sometimes it doesn't go your way. What happened has to happen is 372 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:22.319 how do we pivot, how do we move forward and make it work and 373 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.000 again make it work in a positive way. Yeah, no question. I 374 00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:27.200 think one of the things, and I said this to Sean Miller a long 375 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.440 time ago when I was doing stories on him, he created a beast. 376 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.680 He had to feed the beast, and eventually sometimes the beast eat you up. 377 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.039 Tommy. Tommy's kind of doing the same thing where he did two years 378 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.359 sixty one wins. This record that he did was amazing. Now people expect 379 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.839 more. He fed this beast and now the beast is kind of eating them. 380 00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.440 It doesn't make sense to me. Yeah. Again, let's I'm just 381 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.119 a guy. If I try to keep things in perspective, these are eighteen, 382 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.359 nineteen twenty year olds. These are coaches that are working their tails up. 383 00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.039 I know how hard they work and what they put into it. I 384 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:03.799 know how important winning is. Nobody comes here, Nobody is a part of 385 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.000 this program that wants to lose or doesn't want to put the best effort forward. 386 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.440 Um, you know that. Just again, we have disappointing days sometimes 387 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.920 and again, That's what's troubling to me that now a day like today has 388 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.200 become a day like a championship. Right, we lost the final four. 389 00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.519 It's just ridiculous that we got this thing too to a certain level. And 390 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:26.839 I know I'll be criticized for what I say with you guys. I've always 391 00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.319 been a guy that's pretty passionate, and I wear it on my sleeve. 392 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.599 It's it's been very honest, it's very sincere because I believe you. Yeah, 393 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.440 yeah, aren'tually happy you came on the show today. I'm already geared 394 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.960 up a heck of a day. Yeah, okay, let's let's let's let's 395 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.200 change gears just a little bit. How much can you tell us about what's 396 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.920 going on with the with the the PAC twelve, a TV deal and expense, 397 00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.200 what expanse, what just all of that, you know, the expansion, 398 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.880 the grant of rights, the TV stuff. I mean, what's happening? 399 00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.680 And when is there anything you can say hey about what we can expect 400 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.799 over the next month or weeks or whatever. Well, I really wish I 401 00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.880 could. I In many ways, I don't know, And that's a real 402 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:14.640 real answer. We again, our conference and our Commissioner continue to work very 403 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:18.400 hard to position us the best way possible to get a deal done. I 404 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.079 don't have new information. I'm going to reveal a thing, quite frankly, 405 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.720 because I don't have anything. This needs to run its course. I've kind 406 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.599 of gotten caught a couple of times because others have shared with me, Hey, 407 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:30.279 it's gonna be a few weeks, or it's going to be a month, 408 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.839 or I really don't know anymore, and I'm not going to put time 409 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.880 limits on it. I know that our conference continues, our ads, our 410 00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.319 presidents continue to be committed to each other and keeping the conference together. We 411 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.039 think we can do that. We think it's a great conference, and um, 412 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:49.680 we will get a media deal and ultimately granted rights that will hold the 413 00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:55.440 group together. That's kind of where we are. And if we don't, 414 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.319 you know, then we'll again, We'll we'll react the right way. And 415 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:03.480 it's not like we're just sitting here waiting for that. Obviously, we have 416 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.079 to scan the landscape and understand what's going on out there and know where we 417 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.839 would pivot to. So but I'm bullish. I want us to stay together. 418 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:15.119 I think it's a tragedy of pack twelve conference would not stay together with 419 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:19.160 all the history tradition. But at the same time, I understand that we 420 00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:22.440 have to make the right decisions for the University of Arizona and put us in 421 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.119 the best spot possible going forward. Well, I guess that's the one thing 422 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:30.319 that fans want to know. They just want to know that you Arizona, 423 00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.319 because you know in the end you got to do the right thing for you, 424 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.599 that you Arizona are pretty much ready for anything, and that it's safe 425 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.359 to say that you are. Well, Hey, I'm much like Tommy. 426 00:29:41.519 --> 00:29:44.559 I don't know what the game outcome is going to be. In a basketball 427 00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.480 game, We've got a plan of attack. We hope we can get to 428 00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:51.200 a point where we want to. If somebody puts the heck of a defense 429 00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:52.400 on us, we got to change at halftime. We're going to do that. 430 00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.839 We're gonna look at different options. So yeah, I have to that's 431 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.440 my role, I guess as the a D and President Robins's role to communicate 432 00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.799 with each other what our options, Where would we go? What if strip 433 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.599 it all the way down and say what if this happened or that happened? 434 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.319 You know, we go through those scenarios and we're gonna get and we're gonna 435 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:17.240 be in a good spot no matter where this thing has. So I'm assuming 436 00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:19.720 that a few years back, when you and the in the fiance at that 437 00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:26.400 time left Albion and loaded up the car went to Eugene, you never foresaw 438 00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.039 what your experience you that was an ad In fact, you would probably been 439 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.279 a better baseball coach today, or wanted to be a better baseball coach. 440 00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.759 Well, I often think maybe I should have just done that coaching thing. 441 00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:44.880 Yeah, Hey, it's changed a lot, and certainly college athletics has. 442 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.000 I'm just a little bit of a traditionalist and a purist at heart. I 443 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.680 just I'm all about change and growth and doing new things, stretching it. 444 00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:56.000 I just hope we don't lose the core purpose and the core of this whole 445 00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.599 operation, and that's our students, our student athletes, the great universities we 446 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.440 are part of, the great fan bases, the alums, the grads, 447 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.640 and all those tremendous memories. If we I think we're really embarking in an 448 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:15.440 area where it's becoming very, very fragile. You might think that this would 449 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.319 be good, but that's gonna change so many pieces of it. It's gonna 450 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.039 look different down the road, so I got to be careful. But I 451 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.839 think there's still growth and you know, and we can stretch it to different 452 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.319 ways, but it's fragile to a degree right now. The things that we 453 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.880 love most about it are very fragile. Well, well, you know, 454 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.920 State We've talked a number of times, and you know, Dave Rubio was 455 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.200 very open about how every so much has changed that he just if it didn't 456 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.640 feel like he could do this anymore. Mike Andrea has said I wouldn't want 457 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.279 to coach in this environment either. You know, Andy Lopez has said that. 458 00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:53.480 Steve and I are both pretty sure that Loot wouldn't wanted to coach in 459 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.599 this environment. But when you hear that kind of stuff, I mean, 460 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:00.920 does that make your job harder? Does it? Or do you just kind 461 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:02.480 of like it is what it is and let's move on. I mean, 462 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.640 how do you how do you you know, deal with that? Yeah? 463 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:13.039 I think look at the biggest challenge. There's no question the hardest job is 464 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:17.640 the is and the biggest change has been with the coaches. Again, just 465 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.559 like we talked about a little earlier, we've turned this into three hundred and 466 00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:25.400 sixty five days that you have to win every single day. You know, 467 00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:31.519 there's just there's just enormous pressure change this new NIL environment, an environment of 468 00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:36.720 student athletes that you know are different. So you've got to react differently. 469 00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.359 You've got to step back and examine how you approach the situation. So that's 470 00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.519 hard on coaches, and that's you know, it's hard to develop continuity and 471 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.519 consistency and some of those things. Okay, my job is to try to 472 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:52.400 weed through some of that, try to keep the best things we can. 473 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.359 Try to help our coaches clear some of that mess away from them so they 474 00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:58.559 can go do what they do, and that's you know, work with the 475 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.160 kids, work with our student athletes, and UH and have great programs that 476 00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:06.079 can compete for championships. And ultimately, I still want to graduate. I 477 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:09.559 want our young men and women to go to school and graduate and have lifelong 478 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:13.880 experiences while they're on a campus. I'm gonna throw this question to Jay, 479 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.079 but and this might be the most hard hitting question you'll have all day. 480 00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:20.759 Sorry to say, Dave, uh face mask, Go ahead and ask because 481 00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:23.680 I don't Oh, We've been told to ask you about the face masks on 482 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:29.119 the football t why are they white and not and why are they blue? 483 00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:31.920 And why are they white and not blue? That's right, because they were 484 00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:37.759 blue back in the day. Somebody's really upset about that. What was back 485 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:39.839 in the day? Defined back? Good question, Well, the Desert Farm 486 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:47.440 uniforms back you know, the nineties. M Okay, I do a lot 487 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:54.200 of things, but face mask. I have some super talented people that at 488 00:33:54.240 --> 00:34:00.400 that time I face mask. That's not smarter people than I am that can 489 00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:04.279 answer that question. We will have to find that person. To find that 490 00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.280 persons a question. Yeah, we actually got to ask that. Yeah, 491 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:12.119 I'm looking at a picture right now, the nineteen nineteen ninety three team and 492 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:15.920 you know, the great uniform but the face masks were blue and not white. 493 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.920 That they're white now and the team that somebody's really think about it again. 494 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.440 I remember, you know, we've had red face masks in my time 495 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:24.679 here with red helmets. We've had yeah, I mean, we've had the 496 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:28.639 white ones. I think we went to a very traditional, clean look and 497 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.400 right now that's had part of the white face mask. I will I'll tell 498 00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:35.880 you this and I'll tell you listeners. I'll throw that one on the table 499 00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:37.920 to our team and our staff at our next meeting and say, hey, 500 00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:42.039 let's look into it and let's see what makes sense. A lot of that 501 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.400 comes from our football program. For coaches and our team. They make those 502 00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.960 decisions. They like what they see, and I think maybe the white mask 503 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.639 right now is where they're all ast. We've got about a minute left. 504 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.079 I have a quick another quick question. You were at the Red Blue football 505 00:34:55.119 --> 00:35:00.280 game. What did you assess from the fifteen practices? Well, hey, 506 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.119 I mean, I think there was more that it was obviously done during the 507 00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:07.920 practices than the game. The game's really a reward for those kids for the 508 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.519 four weeks of practices and the hard work. But I thought in the first 509 00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:14.639 time it was great to see them out there. I think we look bigger, 510 00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.360 stronger, faster. Um. I thought the first quarter, maybe quarter 511 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:20.800 and a half, there was a lot going on. You could see things. 512 00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:23.039 Uh. I like how we look. I think we've again taken another 513 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:28.760 step forward from the eye test. In my viewpoint that we look like a 514 00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:31.119 better football team. And Jed has confirmed that he thinks we're a bet. 515 00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:34.280 You know, on the on the field, we're a better football team. 516 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:37.079 Now, you got to turn that into success when it counts, and that's 517 00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.440 in the fall, and I know we're all excited about going there. So 518 00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:44.159 kids are in a great place. I love our energy, the enthusiasm. 519 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.679 Thank our fans for coming out, huge number over twenty thousand. So there's 520 00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:51.400 you know, football matters. Is that kind of came out that weekend? 521 00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:53.920 It matters and two soon again and that's great. Yeah, yeah, perfect, 522 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:59.400 Thank you, Dave. I hope we didn't upset you all. We 523 00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:02.039 hope we didn't wreck your friday. I'll get in trouble. Someone will criticize 524 00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:06.800 you for what I said. I'm sure if that's the world we live in. 525 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:12.760 You say I love something and says why exactly I love my mom? 526 00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.199 Well, why do you love your mom? What the hell is that? 527 00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:17.719 Always? It's always great to about a little bit and I love it and 528 00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:21.440 thanks for having me.

He on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, He's 600 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.639 jagon ZoZ. Now let's go to the phone. All right, we have 601 00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.599 a caller, Gabriel. You're on the air. Okay, how are you? 602 00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:46.079 Guys? Were good? Fine, thank you obviously you know what Ryan 603 00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:53.159 them committed to Kazaga. I just want to give my thoughts about us. 604 00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:59.840 So I don't think Tommy Lloyd. I think Tommy Lloyde needs a learned from 605 00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:07.679 its example and not for all for all eggs in one basket and just just 606 00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:12.599 give a lot of um uh players, just give a lot of players. 607 00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:17.320 Look just look out a lot of players. Let me ask you this game, 608 00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:21.960 but why why do you think Tommy Lloyd did not Why do you think 609 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.920 he's not looking at other players? I mean, that's a serious question. 610 00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:29.760 Why do you think I mean, don't you think he's out there looking at 611 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:30.960 a lot of players? Or why? Why? Why do you think he's 612 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:35.719 only looked at a at a couple. I mean there's I know there's a 613 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.159 lot of people saying that, But why do you think that maybe he looked 614 00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:45.719 Maybe he's looking for somebody's for Maybe he's looking for people who are good for 615 00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:51.400 his program, like right, right, No, that's isn't that a good 616 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:53.800 thing? So he's looking after the good people. So I'm not sure he's 617 00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:57.599 putting all his eggs in one basket, like you said, uh, and 618 00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:00.719 like Jay asked, how do you know unless you're reading something somewhere that we 619 00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:06.519 haven't read, that he went all out on them hard and failed. I 620 00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:10.239 think the opposite of that, Yeah, maybe, Yeah. What probably happened 621 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:19.000 was his brother told his younger brother, Hey, go to Gonzaga because familiar. 622 00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:23.320 But I don't know what's going on. Hopefully, let me say this, 623 00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:25.519 Gabriel, I think in the next couple of days, maybe a little 624 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:31.199 longer, you'll see that that the guard from Gonzaga went to Gonzaga and got 625 00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:36.360 him some good cash. I'm not joking out. I think in the next 626 00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:38.519 if that happens, you call us back and say you were right. If 627 00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:43.800 I'm wrong, you call us back and say you're you were wrong. Yeah, 628 00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:50.239 and can I also can't do you think Tommy annoying? Tommy Lloyd needs 629 00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:57.519 to look at his coaching staff and a commissee which uh like hiring another um 630 00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:05.320 assistance or assistants that does really good in recruiting because looking in Sean Miller's he 631 00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:10.679 got he had a book richardson or don't go there, don't go there. 632 00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.559 Here, Here's here's what I think, Gabriel, Here's what I think. 633 00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:19.559 I think. And I'm pretty sure Tommy Lloyd has won sixty one games with 634 00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.039 the staff he's he has. I just I just responded to a guy on 635 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.079 Twitter who said, you know, Tommy Lloyd has to prove that he can 636 00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:30.559 coach because Sean Miller's players are all gone now. And my response to that 637 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:32.480 was, wait a minute. These players that you think are so great that 638 00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.320 Sean Miller had they got him fired. He got fired with those guys, 639 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:42.280 and Tommy Lloyd won sixty one games with those guys. What what? Why? 640 00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:45.880 What's the argument? There's a disconnect there is that you know, well, 641 00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:47.599 Tommy Lloyd can't you know, let's see how he can do with his 642 00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:52.519 own guys, well, the guys that he and the guys that he inherited 643 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:55.679 got the previous coach fired. So I some of these arguments aren't making any 644 00:44:55.719 --> 00:45:00.280 sense to me. And plus some of the people who want to who were 645 00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:07.039 high, we're happy that tom Lloyd Scott High was complaining about coach Miller with 646 00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:12.440 all his scambal right, right, exactly, So you're answering your own question. 647 00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:14.440 You are, Gabriel, you really are. Hey, look, thank 648 00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.719 you Gabriel for Colleen. We appreciate it. Have a great weekend. Continue 649 00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:21.280 to call u skip, thank you, thank you. But you know, 650 00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:23.880 she said, now that's the argument, Well, let's see how he goes 651 00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:27.800 with with Sean Miller's players, going I'm like he won, he won with 652 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.519 Sean Miller's players when Sean Miller couldn't win with Sean millers. I said that 653 00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:35.440 all the time, and he had some great five stars, right, what 654 00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:38.480 were the results? Right? What were the results? Buffalo?
