Well, uh, if those of you who have been around, 9 00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:49.600 like Steve and I remember when Tony Dorsett became Tony Dorsett sometime during his career 10 00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.719 with the with the Cobbe Do you remember that? Yeah? You do, 11 00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.600 Okay, you remember who he is? Yeah, So Tony Dorsett became Tony 12 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.719 Dorsett. So the story you told me, just so it reminds me of 13 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.239 the Darryl Lewis story, right, that's right, when Darrell Lewis we found 14 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.640 out that he had two els at the end of his name. So now 15 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.920 we're finding out that Bijean Robinson isn't really Beijean Robinson. He's Bijean Robinson. 16 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.959 He goes by either. He even uses he says Bijean himself. Has a 17 00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:26.640 funny interview that's been going through social media that his name is technically and his 18 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.879 mom has told him, your name is Bijean, not Bijean. So I 19 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.959 don't know if well, you know, we'll call him Beijean now right, 20 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:48.680 Well, he's Bijan Robin. Sounds more mustardy, doesn't it anyway, So 21 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.560 he's it's Bijean Robinson. But he was, uh, there're just a you 22 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.799 know, brief interview with him, Uh, talked about about his name. 23 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.959 Uh, he was asked, you know, he told people just pronounce it 24 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.760 whatever you want, and he said, you know, call it, call 25 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.959 me Beijean if you want. And somebody said, well, well, your 26 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.799 mom get upset at us if we do, and he said she might. 27 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:13.319 So I guess we're gonna go with beij Yes, sounds good to me. 28 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:15.560 So you didn't have to. You can call me Ray. He just don't 29 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.840 call me late for dinner. Yeah, exactly. And you know, just 30 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.000 it all it's all pronounced the same once you get to the bank. So 31 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.639 it's Bijean Robinson. So there you go. So it's Steven, Jayon and 32 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:34.840 Jason for the day were Sports fourteen fifty and we're gonna have brad On Ellis, 33 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.680 but we'll join us. At about four fifteen he did He's got his 34 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.479 Wildcat Sports Report podcast, sort of did a eulogy to the PAC twelve, 35 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:46.560 and I feel like, just one last time, let's kick it around. 36 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.680 I was wondering where you wanted to Google move on with? You know, 37 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.280 he has we still more dirt. Well, he just it was kind of 38 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.199 some interesting take similar to what we've had. But it's kind of like, 39 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.560 Okay, this is it. We're done talking about it. Everybody screwed it 40 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.000 up all the way, you know, all over the PAC twelve. Yeah, 41 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.360 I mean kick kicked the ball all over the enfield and now we are 42 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.400 where we are. Yeah. In fact, I'm sure this won't be a 43 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:14.039 bricking news. You hear all the news. What's his name, the former 44 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:20.879 the former commissioner somewhere, No luck. It's kind of stepped in as doing 45 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:25.759 some maybe combining the forces acc right, right, So I saw a tweet 46 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.000 earlier, I don't know if you saw it, where it looks like DC 47 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:36.280 kind of sinuated. It's not not done that. The George maybe out well 48 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.199 he's got doesn't have a conference left. That's why. Even though because Luck 49 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.639 has kind of stepped in and say okay, come on, let the professional, 50 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.520 I was gonna say, why would you let George do anything else? 51 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.560 Yeah? No, he's got to go back to what he used to do. 52 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.439 I mean, he wrecked the car. You wrecked the car, take 53 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.319 the keys away direct the car that Larry Scott said, be careful with it. 54 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.159 Yeah, yeah, right, what did you do with it? It 55 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.280 has been in the shop for he trashed. He trashed the car. He 56 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.680 drove it over left. Now we'll see what you might argue that Larry Scott 57 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.520 got it to the cliff. But George and Louise did he did? He 58 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.199 did? Did you get that reference? Yeah, yeah, I don't know 59 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:18.240 about Yeah, he just got it. Got it. Donna Summer, Yeah 60 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:24.399 I got that. And Tina Turner Yeah no, no, okay, see 61 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:29.000 what happens with that more j Yeah. So uh well, we can get 62 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.079 to this in a minute. But we also mentioned that here at three fifteen 63 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.839 Beckham Marrows the soccer coach in Arizona, and we got the fall sports kicking 64 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.399 in. We're trying to get UH three to Stubbs, the coach at Arizona. 65 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.199 They practice at the same time as our as our show, but we're 66 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.639 trying to see if there's a time that we can we can get her on. 67 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.720 So we're working on that, but uh Becka Morris will be on with 68 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.959 us at three fifteen talk about the women preview. The women's soccer season coming 69 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.639 great, good, A lot of things to talk about with Decca who we 70 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.199 had a great impression on us ago when you came on the scene. You 71 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:00.759 know, it's taken a couple of years, but you know, I was 72 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.079 looking at you know, they won four four of their last six matches last 73 00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.399 year, you know, maybe built some momentum into the into the end of 74 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.360 the regular season. So let's see what she's got, what she's got going 75 00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.079 on here for twenty twenty three. You could use that word, I won't. 76 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:17.839 Yeah, yeah, well, you know, it just gave us a 77 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.480 feel for you know, yeah, yeah, what she's got here. A 78 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.920 lot of a lot of players back from from last year and so how do 79 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.879 you know, can that carry over into this season? I think it can. 80 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.959 And no matter what you say about momentum, Steve, it's there. 81 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.279 It exists. It's a thing I beg to differ, but two hours to 82 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.399 talking about that at some other times some other times we already spent two hours 83 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.000 at another time talking at them other time. Yeah, okay, cool, 84 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.680 cool, Uh you're last week with us? Right, Yeah, make you 85 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:47.800 good, go out with the bank without saying, without get us it is 86 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.600 in trouble. Yeah, don't cut, just don't cuss, but go big 87 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:58.360 for sure, go bigger, go home. Just be sucked yet time, 88 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.800 you know, Yeah, I talk, Yeah, sure, has some fun 89 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.319 conversations in here. We've made fun of you for not knowing what we know. 90 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.600 Yeah, because you're just young music. Right. And then where he 91 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.560 talks about players that we have no no idea who they are. You know 92 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.839 what, It's funny you say that because I watch things now differently, and 93 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.759 I see these transactions. I'm thinking, who's that dude? Who's that dude? 94 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.040 Who's that dude? Because I don't pay attention like I used to. 95 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.680 Yeah, I just don't. These guys are traded. I'm thinking what did 96 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.879 he go there? Yeah, And it's bad to say it on sports show, 97 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.560 but that's that's the point. I don't talk about players. I'm talking 98 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.439 about situations right right, No, we do. I mean, you know 99 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:42.319 we've I mean it's again going back to this thing that's on on online, 100 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.600 that immaculate grid thing where you know, you try and think of players who 101 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.680 played for a couple of different teams or whatever, and all my players are 102 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.120 you know, nineteen eighties and earlier. And then you know my son and 103 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:56.319 my godson who are in it, and they're like thirty and they got all 104 00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.720 the new guys. They don't know, they don't know the guys you know, 105 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.959 you know, I had I young and went in a box last week 106 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:06.160 and they're like, but they didn't know what he really had done it. 107 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.079 Then he was a good pitcher, Yeah, because the award is named after 108 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:13.439 him. So stuff like that. Okay, no, no good. We'll 109 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.959 have these two people, like you say, Becky Morris, but Alice again 110 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.360 for the pact. Let's put a lid on this man. Yeah, I 111 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.360 think we do. Let's put a lid on it with with Brad until I 112 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.399 listened to his podcast on the way in and you know again you know, 113 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.480 talking about you know, the pac twelve cities and the apathy in some of 114 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.480 these places and stuff like that and things that we've talked about. But it's 115 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:36.160 sort of like good you hear it from from another from another side and another 116 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.959 angle, and that's what we'll do. No. Cool, as we get 117 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.279 closure. They had another practice today, you'll have some breaking news probably with 118 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.759 Delora today. Uh and good on a good thing. Good yeah, good 119 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.480 note and the team. You didn't go to practice, right yeah? I 120 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.800 didn't go either, So it's just I have other things. As far as 121 00:07:56.839 --> 00:07:59.480 we know what happened, right, No, it did because people talked to 122 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:07.120 the Special Team's coach show pump Its spoke. So, like I said, 123 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.439 I was with somebody that I really liked. The team. So far, 124 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:13.120 so good. The number of wins five, we talked about that yesterday. 125 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:18.920 I still think it's six. I was listening to the Game Day Guy. 126 00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.160 Oh yeah yeah, the Game Day Guy, the host Street, No, 127 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.079 not herb Street. He's the main ESPN guy on it. Oh yeah yeah, 128 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.480 yah yeah, I know what the hell is that? Come on? 129 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.639 Jason? Jason helped me out. We know we're talking about it. We'll 130 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.399 get a text here, yea god? Then what did you say? Well? 131 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.960 He and Pete Thamil you know, did do you know? A podcast? 132 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:50.559 And Reece Davis's Reece Davis. Reese went under for who for Arizona. 133 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.480 No, Reese went over and Thamil went under on five on Arizona. Yeah, 134 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.480 that's straight. You know, everybody has an opinion, right And what 135 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.240 did I say that they both think the number is five? Yeah? Okay, 136 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.240 but they had to go over under it's gonna be five five or more? 137 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:09.000 Yeah, so so uh so a family went under Reech Davis, it's 138 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.399 gonna end up at five. Well if it doesn't, you know. The 139 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.759 one thing that the one thing that did explain, did they explain. Yeah, 140 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.919 one of the explanations was that, well they think the Lawd's a really 141 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.840 good quarterback. No, it might have been the other way. I'd have 142 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:24.840 to go back. One of them went under, one of them went over. 143 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.200 I think Rich Davis might have gone over because he was talking about he 144 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.159 thinks Arizona will win a game or two that they're not supposed to win, 145 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.159 you know, as he was going because what they did, they did a 146 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:37.679 rundown of all the teams, and so he you know, talking about you 147 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.399 know, he said Arizona going to USC said that's a that's a game that 148 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.240 you just think as the USC win, he said, but watch out Arizona 149 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.840 and Arizona went to UCLA last year, and one he talked about Washington coming 150 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.600 here. You know, you know, it's just a game that you know, 151 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.440 first of all, Washington never plays good in Arizona, either at a 152 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.720 s U or in Tucson. And he said, that's another game that you 153 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.240 feel like there's a game in there. He talked about Oregon State, talked 154 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.399 about Utah. There's he said, there's a game in there that Arizona's gonna 155 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.799 win that that you don't expect to win. And so and I think Pete 156 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.000 Tama was talking about the fact that, you know, Jade Delores kind of 157 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.080 a gun slinger, you know, maybe a little reckless sometimes, which is 158 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.000 a lot of what we saw last we've seen said if he doesn't fix that, 159 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.159 they're not going over, right, And so that was kind of the 160 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.879 kind of the two things could be accurate. Ye, both of lam are 161 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.559 And if Jade Delora doesn't you know, doesn't play, isn't bad Jane Delora 162 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.519 that we saw last year, then they're gonna go over. But if he 163 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.879 has a couple of games where he's bad Jade Delora, well then they're probably 164 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.399 not going to go and I don't I don't want to put this all on 165 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.519 Jaden. They've got to play defense. They defense. But and also you 166 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.639 know how much of what he did was because of the offensive line, you 167 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.240 know, not you know, not being as good as they expected to be 168 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.000 this year. He ran around a lot last year. Yeah, there's no 169 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.720 question they're going to be better on both sides of the ball. We'll see. 170 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:07.519 I don't disregrate with both of those analysis because because they're right, they're 171 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.200 accurate. We've seen it, we've seen in memory of times. Rees seems 172 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.039 like he's been here because he's a fan like you who said he sounds like 173 00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.559 a fan like you who who's who knows right? Because you witnessed it right 174 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.039 for the years, right, he gets he gets a lot of information and 175 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.039 you know, you know, and so you know what he sees the whole 176 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.679 answer. But here's the thing, here's the thing. These national guys know 177 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.120 what they know, but they're not here. They're not they're's on the ground, 178 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.080 they're not here, so they can it's like me and this is I 179 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.480 hope it doesn't offend you know, I have no idea about pregnancy, even 180 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.360 though I have two kids. I mean, what do I know? You're 181 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.120 you're you're right. I know a little bit because I've had Guinney Stone, 182 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.279 Okay, I have hold on. I hope that never happens to me. 183 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.720 But you understand what I said, I know about kids, what I know 184 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:54.039 about so so that's kind of odd analogy, but it is what it is. 185 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.399 We know what we know, and most of the time we're not right. 186 00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.919 There's still a lot we don't know, always exactly pretty much in everything 187 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:01.879 right, pretty much. I did infected that. Oh I didn't think of 188 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.159 that, you know, Yeah, no, I hear you. So, 189 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.759 you know, so an interesting analysis from those two guys. You know, 190 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.720 Arizona is everywhere, you know, from six to eighth place. Predict to 191 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.519 finish sixth eighth place, Yeah, you know, six, five or six 192 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.759 wins. You got guys like you know, our friend Jake Fisher and some 193 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.799 of the others have said seven or eight wins. I haven't asked my brother 194 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:22.799 yet, didn't I'm afraid to Rick. Yeah, he's gonna say ten, 195 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.600 yeah, he's yeah, and try to convince you that he's right. Yeah, 196 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.120 yeah. What about Jean, Jean's more? Jean's more seven he's gonna 197 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.879 be in the seven or eight. Okay, what about the really sensible brother 198 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.639 Ed, he'll lean towards six. I bet six or seven, you know, 199 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.519 a winning season, you know, because they're fans, they're they're fans, 200 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.399 and they they hope for the best. Jean doesn't go to the No, 201 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.639 No, Ed doesn't go to the tailgate? Does he? He does? 202 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.039 Sometimes he'll go to two or three games a year. Yeah, you 203 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.240 gotta go, so you go say hello, Yeah, he'll yeah, he'll 204 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.960 come to a few games. Yeah, he's uh, you know, he'd 205 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.399 he stopped, you know, he stopped doing the season tickets just it's hard 206 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.120 for him to get in these games and stuff, and especially the late but 207 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.919 he comes a couple of times. Well here from man, have we heard 208 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:11.720 anything about or if we haven't had Dave, But we asked Dave to come 209 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.320 in to the show soon after we saw him last week for the press conference. 210 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.759 What do you think the season tickets are gonna be? What would you 211 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.840 think they would be, given the excitement, given the hope, all that 212 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.759 stuff, and I don't know what they are normally, although a lot of 213 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.639 people back, you know, in the in the stoops and Dick Tommy years. 214 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:35.879 If they got to like twenty two or twenty three, that was really 215 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.039 good? Was good? Okay good? I bet you they're approaching twenty. 216 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.960 Don't you think I would? I would think so. I mean, Jed's 217 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.120 made a plea out there, and there's a lot to hope for. Ye 218 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.559 Jay, let me let me throw this at you. Uh. If they 219 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.240 don't, if they don't win, Uh, if they beat a NAU Let's 220 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.639 say they beat in. They don't beat Mississippi State and they don't who they 221 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:00.279 face the third game, they're gonna win. They're gonna win. I was 222 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:05.679 gonna put it hypothetical. How would fans like this team if they're one and 223 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.519 two going into the third game. I was supposed to three and one and 224 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.600 two? Yeah, two and one one, and I was just trying to 225 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.120 go one to stream to the other. But they're going if they go one 226 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.080 and two, there's nobody coming. That's kind of where I wanted to go 227 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.720 with it. That's not gonna happen. And win to it if they do, 228 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.440 If they do what's expected, and if you're three and one going into 229 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.840 the Washington game, I think they get a pretty good crowd for watching. 230 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.320 Yeah, and that's over fifty forty eighties, high forties. I'm gonna say 231 00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.519 high forties, maybe maybe hit fifty. But remember, technically, the Oregon 232 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.879 game last year was the sellout. Now the stadium wasn't packed, but I 233 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.399 guess they sold all the tickets, right, so I don't. We'll see, 234 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:46.879 all right, we gonna go. We gotta hit the road.

This is on 304 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:06.319 the Ball with Steve Rivera and Jay Getzalez on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Hey, 305 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:07.759 welcome back to I'm the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen. Cookie, 306 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.160 I'm Steve Rivera. He's Jacobs else now in the phone we have beca morals 307 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:17.680 the Arizona Sucker coach. At you A, how are you coach? I'm 308 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.319 great? How are you guys? We're doing we well? Excited to talk 309 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.440 to you. One of our favorite interviews. As we start the year school 310 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:27.920 year. Like Jetfish and a couple of other coaches, you're in year three. 311 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.240 Did you have a plan for year three or did you kind of just 312 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:37.720 go with it? No, I definitely had a plan. It's been changed 313 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.160 nine hundred times, but we did come in with a plan sort of phases 314 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.920 of development year one, year two, year three or first six months, 315 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.920 second six months, third six months, and it has adjusted as we go 316 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.759 based on kind of how the team performs, and some things get on boarded 317 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.519 faster and something's flow down a little. So when when you think when you 318 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:03.359 think of year three. Is this sort of like is the transition so supposed 319 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.559 to be complete now and you're just you know, going on with your plan 320 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:11.359 or is it are you still in a little bit of a transition. I 321 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.880 think we're pretty pretty close to complete in terms of like team culture, identity, 322 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.799 like playing style. You know, this this would be the year that 323 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:26.480 we could hopefully put together the consistent performances that we would need to sort of 324 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.440 win the games we should win and win some of our bigger games as well. 325 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.960 So I think a lot of that transition is done. I think there's 326 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.240 things that we as a staff are getting better at, and the team is 327 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:40.680 getting better at, and you know, different personalities and players come in and 328 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.240 it sort of changes some of that as well. So I think there's still 329 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.480 a lot of growth that we're going to see. But overall, I would 330 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:52.799 say the team is it's our team now. If I correct, you didn't 331 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.720 come from the college game, you came from the pros on the East Coast. 332 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.240 Was it a bigger challenge than you thought? Was it the same kind 333 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.200 of challenge? Did it present to you? And now here you are three 334 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:08.440 years later? I think I was aware just from people sort of telling me 335 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.839 how big of a challenge it was going to be. But I don't think 336 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.680 I could have anticipated what it would feel like, or you know, what 337 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:21.640 the process of tackling those challenges would be. So I came in knowing that 338 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:23.039 it was going to be a tremendous challenge, and that the first couple of 339 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.799 years of taking over a program and culture setting and you know, you trained 340 00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:33.319 differently do all these things. Even even taking over a well coached program has 341 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.640 all those challenges. So I knew that the experience of it has definitely been 342 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:44.400 something I never never experienced before, and so you know, was really challenged 343 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:48.880 by So when you talk about you had these six month periods, so the 344 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.160 one that you're in right now, what are sort of the main points of 345 00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.880 it? Are the main objectives that you feel like our team has to do 346 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.400 this or is doing these things to get us to the you know, the 347 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.000 next step. Yeah, I think all of the tactical foundation has been set, 348 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:11.440 so now we're we're elevating. It's a little more sophisticated, tactical details, 349 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:17.480 a little more tweaking, higher expectations for the players individually for their ability 350 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.160 to problem solve, think quickly, be very clean on the ball, the 351 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.039 kinds of things that allow you to play at a faster pace but in control. 352 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:29.279 And so it's it's a lot of little details. The back line has 353 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.920 a lot of new faces, so some of that is repeating things and getting 354 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:38.680 people comfortable in those roles. And then the front line looking to score a 355 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:44.920 lot more, create more attacking chances, more dominant attacking chances, and convert. 356 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.559 Did you in this process to get to this point? And I'm sorry 357 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.599 if I kind of beating a dead horse, but did you have to become 358 00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:56.160 more patient with with your style? Because it was still fresh year one, 359 00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:00.319 year two? And now here we are. I think I've been you know, 360 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.400 ebbs and flows of patients first, feeling a strong sense of urgency. 361 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.960 Some of that comes from the players as they're kind of tackling challenges and getting 362 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.039 better. I feel immensely patient, you know, while I see growth and 363 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:18.200 see things I'm proud of, and they're proud of each other and themselves. 364 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.319 It's a lot easier to be patient when we've kind of hit little plateaus. 365 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.480 That's when you feel that sense of urgency to to sort of, you know, 366 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:30.240 kick it in the pants and get ourselves moving faster and going. But 367 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.480 you know, as a player, growth has always been the thing that you 368 00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:38.759 know, made me feel purposeful and maybe come back every day and fall in 369 00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:44.720 love with the process. So as a coach, I think that's pretty similar. 370 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.440 So it's really just the periods of stagnation that I start to getting into 371 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.000 the well to this point, why don't you go ahead and ask you a 372 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:52.960 question that you brought up to me with the end of the season, Well, 373 00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.839 let me ask you, because okay, you're you're gonna, you're gonna. 374 00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.839 We're gonna thrust you into the middle of a debate that Steve and I 375 00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:03.799 have all the time, and it's about momentum. Okay, I'm a strong 376 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.000 believer in momentum, whether it's in a game, in a season. You 377 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:10.319 know, over the course of a couple of seasons, you finish strong. 378 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:11.200 Last year, at least, I thank you. I don't know if you 379 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.839 think you finished strong you won four out to six. Does is there some 380 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:22.000 carry over into this year because of that or are you somebody who moves on 381 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.160 from that? Well, let me defend me myself. You're on. So 382 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.559 I'm a guy who every game is a season. So the momentum doesn't play 383 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:34.680 a part. I got you. I'm probably on the momentum train, you 384 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:38.799 know. I think that's the real thing. Players feel good and then play 385 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:44.799 better, you know. So I do think there's an emotional component and when 386 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:49.680 you have that momentum, it feeds into the next performance. I do think 387 00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:53.000 things can change from game to game. You know, when you win, 388 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.640 you ride really high when you When you lose, you can have some lows 389 00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:00.400 and you need to be mentally strong enough to banished those and reset and do 390 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.319 all of that stuff. But I think those are really real challenges for the 391 00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.559 players. And when you have a series of good performances in a row and 392 00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:10.799 everybody's feeling good, the energy in the locker groups different. The white people 393 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:15.039 are chattering at team meals is different. The kinds of things they're talking about. 394 00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.680 You know, something their teammates is in the game that was amazing, 395 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.839 or you know those things that are really contagions in the group. So I 396 00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.039 do think we have momentum from last year, a lot of it. I 397 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.160 think the girls have stayed focused and locked in, which is just a big 398 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:34.319 slogan of ours. They really have have taken care of business since since the 399 00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.079 spring, like with us, but then also going home in the summer, 400 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:42.480 They've come back in a tremendous place, better than I've ever seen. So 401 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:48.279 I'm just eager to actually watch them, and they keep growing each day. 402 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.720 They just look look more and more cohesive, and it's it's pretty neat to 403 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.160 see. So you had a friendly the other day against Pepperdine. You don't 404 00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.759 get a lot of those, So what are you trying to accomplish in that 405 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.680 and what did you see? I think that was terrific for us. Last 406 00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.640 year Peppertine really overpowered us in a lot of ways, and I think this 407 00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:11.559 was a very evenly fought game, So certainly on the soccer side and the 408 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:17.039 tactical side, we were in a very even matchup in terms of being able 409 00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:22.359 to take care of the ball, take up our offensive positioning on the field, 410 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.799 and flow in and out of our offensive defense and defensive offense transitions. 411 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:30.480 So I think there were a lot of things that we really showed we've improved 412 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.480 on. We gave up a couple of set piece goals that I would consider 413 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.119 a little soft. I mean, you can get scored on on set pieces 414 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.920 and it's not soft, but you know, you lose a mark a little 415 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:44.400 bit, or you don't make yourself as big as you can on a block 416 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:48.279 or whatever it is, and it SARTs to kind of be a little bit 417 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:51.160 of a soft goal. So I think those are things we can fix, 418 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.200 and we've been we've been focusing on them, we've been working on them. 419 00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.279 I think the team will, we'll get better at them, and we'll eliminate 420 00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:03.880 those kinds of goals going in against this at least. But yeah, I 421 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.200 thought I felt really good about our teams deep and we're fit. So we 422 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:10.720 finished, you know, the second half was better than the first, and 423 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.960 we finished the half really strong with with a lot of players getting significant minute 424 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.200 so I was very happy with it. I didn't look at your roster, 425 00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:23.519 but did you go mostly East Coast for new players, and if so, 426 00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:32.039 how have they adapted the Tucson We have a sprinkling from from all over the 427 00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:37.960 place. We have some kids from Texas, uh Maryland, from southern California, 428 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.319 one from the Bay Area. We brought in a transfer from Utah who 429 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.839 we had wanted a couple of years ago, who was originally from Boston. 430 00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:49.480 So they're kind of all over the place and they're a really good group, 431 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:55.960 great personalities fitting right in and really you know, our kinds of soccer players, 432 00:28:55.960 --> 00:29:00.480 so they're they're integrating really well with the returning to players. So I 433 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.400 know we had this conversation, you know, the first time we had John 434 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.160 the show, asking about what kind of team you're going to be. But 435 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.359 since I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, I don't really remember 436 00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:14.279 the conversation. But you know what, you know, how would you characterize 437 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.160 your team and has that changed over the last couple of years in terms of 438 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:19.440 what you thought you were going to be when you got here and what you 439 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:26.279 are today. Nothing's changed except that we are are more of that team than 440 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.160 we were when I got here. We are a possession team. We want 441 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:34.640 to control the game. We love having the ball. The girls thrive on 442 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:38.119 being in control of the game. The more they can touch the ball, 443 00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.559 the happier they are. It's that way in training the games as well. 444 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:48.160 So we really want to play a beautiful brand of soccer, a kind of 445 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.480 soccer, you know, a Dutch Spanish total football type of philosophy, a 446 00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.720 really exciting style. We want to surprise fans and want people to think the 447 00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.079 ball is going to go over there and then it pops out somewhere else with 448 00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:04.759 all the little cleverness and tactical sophistications. So I think we are in that 449 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:10.359 place and we've got the depths to maintain it as we change, you know, 450 00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.920 personnel at times, and as we're playing two games in one weekend and 451 00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:18.519 then maybe doing it again the following weekend. So I think that we are 452 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.480 the exact same team we set out to be when we got here. We're 453 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.119 just a lot farther along. Let me ask you a Naivesh question, although 454 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:32.119 it pertains to today. We just saw the women's team lose in the World 455 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:37.359 Cup. Surprisingly maybe not how important chemistry is and things like that. Your 456 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.640 women are older ish nineteen twenty twenty one, so they've been there, done 457 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.200 that at the highest level at their level. I'm sure that's still a teaching 458 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.799 moment that you need to be on the same page everybody does to be success, 459 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:52.920 for sure, and we talk a lot about it. We talk about 460 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.400 team culture. We talk about how you support your teammates even you know when 461 00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:00.279 you may not be feeling the best yourself or whatever's going on, or you 462 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.200 have hardships or we all have things that go through in life. So you 463 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.880 know, that's real life, and we're responsible for the environment we create, 464 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.559 not just for ourselves but the people around us. And you got to give 465 00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:12.359 more than you take. And we all want to leave the program better than 466 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:17.400 when we got here. And you know that's that's a brick by brick type 467 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:21.079 of process of putting it in each day and and doing the best you can. 468 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.400 And when we're having a bad day, we have you know, thirty 469 00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:26.759 something people who want to pick us up. And that's that's a real privilege. 470 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.960 Most people don't walk around, you know, rolling thirty deep of people 471 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.000 who are are looking out for them. So I think that it is an 472 00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:41.359 important thing. They always highlight team chemistry and opportunities to team build as as 473 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.200 things that really help them on the field and make their experience, you know, 474 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.559 as a student athlete, as the U of a richer and you know, 475 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.759 we're really big proponent to that. And as a former player, the 476 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:55.839 thing I actually miss the most is not training, but it's the locker room 477 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:59.559 and the goofy stuff that goes on in there and the kind of bonds that 478 00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:04.359 are just really unique when you're a part of a team and I'm still part 479 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.440 of the team now, and I'm part of a bigger team in the athletic 480 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.559 department. But you know, the blood, sweat and tears in the locker 481 00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:14.160 room just bonds you in a different kind of way. And I think they 482 00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:19.519 have a special, special opportunity and something that they get to do together that 483 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.000 most people don't get to do. So to that point, and I agree 484 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:27.720 with this on the Wentthum side with Jay is that you're winning brings a lot 485 00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.880 of happiness. Losing doesn't. So that kind of that culture where you win 486 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:37.279 a lot that the locker room feels good. It does, it really really 487 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:42.599 does, and it makes you kind of put the group first. You know, 488 00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.400 when when when the team isn't doing well, everybody's you know, sophisticated 489 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.640 enough and knowledgeable enough to start having ideas about what they want to do differently, 490 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.359 or what could be done, or what they could do, or what 491 00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.279 someone else could do or whatever. And when you're winning, you know, 492 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:58.440 you tend to feel like you're doing more things right. Even if you know 493 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:00.440 when you're losing, you win, you're doing the same number of things right 494 00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:05.160 and wrong, it just feels like you're doing more things right. So people 495 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.319 tend to, you know, credit you for doing more things right, whether 496 00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:12.160 it's you as a coach or or the team you know, on your teammates, 497 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.400 and so it does. It does create a lot more positivity and and 498 00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:20.400 and energy, and it puts some people, you know, on their best 499 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:22.000 behavior because you know, when people are doing well, they don't really want 500 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:27.000 to listen to you kind of coming in as the negative one. So it 501 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.880 shrinks the audience for that kind of stuff too. So it just has a 502 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:36.680 lot of a lot of upside. So you the coaches, Paul came out, 503 00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.119 you guys are were picked six in the league. As always, you 504 00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:44.680 know, the particularly the women's sports in the PAC twelve are crazy good. 505 00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:47.359 UCLA ranked number one. But you know, is that about where you would 506 00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.519 have put yourself and hope to, you know, go prove yourself over the 507 00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.039 course of the season. Where do you think you fit in the league going 508 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.480 in? I mean I'm really used with that, just because to get voted 509 00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:02.119 you know, from twelve to six from people who are on the outside, 510 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.400 you know, is good. It's a good step in the right direction. 511 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.800 I don't think any of us internally think that we're going to finish the six. 512 00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:15.000 But I bet you know, everybody other than UCLA things they're going to 513 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.480 finish higher than they were ranked, so and then as at least planning to 514 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.519 finish higher than they were ranked. I would expect us to really compete to 515 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.519 be in the top three. And I think, you know, we just 516 00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:32.039 have hit a consistent level that is just better than our best level was last 517 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:35.840 year. So I think we're going to be a hard team to play against. 518 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.880 We've got a lot of depths, so you know, as people fatigue 519 00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:42.719 or pick up littler injuries, you know we can get them the breaks they 520 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.039 need to make sure they're ready to go, and in the meantime getting somebody 521 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:51.079 else the playing time they need to be at their best. So I really 522 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:52.639 rate where we're at. We're a veteran team for the first time, I 523 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:58.679 haven't had upper class and then like we have now ever, and I think 524 00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:01.920 that makes a very big differ. Prints they know what it takes and they 525 00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:05.920 show you that every day in training when they set the standards and things like 526 00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.199 that. So I feel really good about where we are, and I would 527 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:14.000 expect us to finish above six. I know, you know, if we 528 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:16.840 all got to pick where we finished, there would be nobody below us the 529 00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:22.519 number there. So I'm aware that you know it's my bias as well, 530 00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.360 but I really think we'll compete in the in the top three this year. 531 00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:30.159 All Right, So you open Thursday at Iowa stayed. We're assuming you're hopping 532 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.800 up playing tomorrow to get over there a future Big twelve foe. Well, 533 00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.400 how do you feel about the Yeah, I mean we seem to have started 534 00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.440 a year or two early with Steck in our lineup and then I always coming 535 00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:45.480 in last year, and we'll play them both this year, and you know, 536 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:50.239 they're great programs. I enjoyed both of the coaches at both of those 537 00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:53.079 programs. I've heard I Alway State now has a grass field and so does 538 00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:58.239 Texas Tech, which also makes me happy. You know, no soccer player 539 00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:01.639 wants to play on turfs, so it's great they're investing in those programs and 540 00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:07.639 put put a natural surface in just for us to come play on. So 541 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:14.000 but yeah, I really rate those organizations and that the coaches and what they're 542 00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.639 doing. So I'm happy to play against I always State again, and I 543 00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:19.840 know they try to play a good brand of soccer. They have a bunch 544 00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:23.199 of transfers coming in who I've experienced from other big programs, so it'll be 545 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:30.559 interesting. I don't think they'll be similar to what they were last year. 546 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:34.480 So we're kind of going and blind in that sense, just taking care of 547 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.239 our our side of it, right. And then you got your home opener 548 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.119 on the twenty fourth, Thursday, the twenty fourth here against Grand Canyon, 549 00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:45.400 and you get your your home season going. So looks like you guys got 550 00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:47.239 you know, kicking it off right. You guys are the first ones to 551 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:52.280 start playing league games are regular season games. Yeah, we are always bring 552 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:55.440 it in so uh, you know, everybody comes onto campus and then and 553 00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:59.400 then the energy starts to bump up. But I think our home opener is 554 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:04.679 already pretty well sold. And I know Graham Kenyan has kind of had our 555 00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:08.480 numbers since I've been here, so whether it's in ties or even having lost 556 00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:13.760 to them last season, so I know that that is ah, that is 557 00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:15.519 a big, sting, stinging point for us. So we are looking forward 558 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.400 to that game as well. Well. Coach, good luck to you. 559 00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:23.719 Always feel smarter when we talk to you, at least I do. He's 560 00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:28.760 not lying. No, you said some good stuff. Thanks a bunch. 561 00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:32.360 We'll talk to you next time. Thank you guys so much, appreciate it. 562 00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:36.159 It was funny. I wanted to say that because I do believe that 563 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:37.519 I'm not I'm not blowing smoke. But the thing is, I don't know 564 00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:39.800 if I want to talk to her much more because I don't want to make 565 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:45.400 her feel make me feel dumb. Does that mean, dude? I'm with 566 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:52.159 you, man, I'm percent. She impressed us from the first day, 567 00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:54.119 from day one and continue, But what did we think the first day? 568 00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:58.440 We thought, oh, bad this team is. And it's changed, you 569 00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:00.960 know, And look, they did get bad her last year, and so 570 00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.039 you know it's because you've got a bunch of coaches in their third year, 571 00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:08.360 right, You got Jeed Fishness, Kayla Lows in his third year, Jet 572 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:12.199 Hails in his third year. All these people in there in their third years 573 00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.119 in these transitions, as she said, they should be over. So now 574 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.159 they're doing what they're gonna do. And we said the same thing about Jed, 575 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.800 and I think I asked them that question too, because third year, 576 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:24.920 either you can't blame the past, and you can't really blame the puk. 577 00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:29.079 You're in that simple line. You're in that limbo line, it's your deal, 578 00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:30.920 Yeah, all right, mostly year deal. All right, let's take 579 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:34.559 our breakwoard and come back.

So it's interesting. 643 00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:12.599 I know we didn't go there with Becca because she probably wasn't prepared and 644 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:16.119 we weren't prepared to listen, she's gonna say, we're only thinking about this. 645 00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:20.119 Yeah, so you do what I was stopping talking about. But but 646 00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.679 it's interesting they're already going through it. And I'm Jay, I don't know, 647 00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:25.880 and I don't want to know if I want to buy into the people 648 00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.639 saying the travel and the travel. I'm nineteen years old, I'm twenty years 649 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:32.800 old. I'm not sixty years old. Guess what I would want to do? 650 00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:36.599 Travel? Travel? Yeah? Yeah, And I know it's probably a 651 00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:38.719 straight on academics or whatever, but you guess what you could take your books 652 00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:43.239 with you? Well and that's the thing. I mean, I still hate 653 00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.400 it, but I know that, you know, they're gonna have all the 654 00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:49.800 resources they need. You know, they're gonna take tutors on the road and 655 00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.960 they always have and yeah, maybe they step that up and you know, 656 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:57.840 they they they do a lot of things to kind of make this as as 657 00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:00.119 easy as possible for you know, because I mean, it can become a 658 00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.119 mental health issue for some for some athletes, and sure, that's the last 659 00:44:04.119 --> 00:44:06.679 thing you want. I know, there's not so much. But I think 660 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:10.119 that this is most of the people you're hearing from, I think would be 661 00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:15.000 people our age, older people. Well, Hitolindo didn't want to do. 662 00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:17.280 How do we know that? Yeah, and maybe the students feel that way. 663 00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:21.199 I have. I'm sure they've they've I've seen their texts or I've seen 664 00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:22.920 there, but not all of them. All I know is I don't like 665 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:27.159 to travel. I really don't. I'm not. You know, I get 666 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:30.320 to a place and I can't wait to get home. And that's sure, 667 00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:34.440 And that had a lot to do with my my leaving sportsman. You know. 668 00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:37.159 Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how that how that plays out 669 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:39.840 going forward. Hi, you're on there are and I on the ball. 670 00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:44.360 Hey, it's tea money. How are you guys doing pretty good? How 671 00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:47.639 are you let me? I got the hottest of all hot takes. I 672 00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:53.119 don't think the Pact weelve is gone or any Maybe a future iteration might be 673 00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:57.800 coming. I just don't I don't know. I just don't feel that energy 674 00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:02.440 dissipating, like what the West Coast has too much pride. I think think 675 00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:08.360 about it this way. Going to Manhattan, Kansas in January. I think 676 00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:12.119 a lot of these schools and a lot of these programs are gonna be agamas. 677 00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.519 I don't know. I don't know if I want to do this anymore. 678 00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:16.920 I don't know. That's just my take. I just think there's gonna 679 00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:21.719 be another iteration of the Pact somehow, Tea Money. I don't distribute with 680 00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:24.159 you. I went to Kansas twice for the candy Gate was one of them. 681 00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:27.719 There was another one. It was freezing. I didn't want to be 682 00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.599 there. It was cool, fog Allen, but you're right, it sucked. 683 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:32.599 But let me tell you, I don't distribute with you on the because 684 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:36.280 we talked about this, right, I think over time, in the next 685 00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:39.719 TV deal five years that the West Coast will come back because of the four 686 00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:44.280 regions right, there'll be it'll be regionalized again. I actually I saw it 687 00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:49.960 in another very interesting take of three conferences, that there'll be a big ten, 688 00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:55.440 an SEC and a Big twelve and kind of regionalized, and that you 689 00:45:55.480 --> 00:46:00.480 know, it could be something like that. I agree with you that in 690 00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:04.519 five years they're going to start talking about restructuring all of this. And I 691 00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:07.039 would like to think, or I very much hope like you, that there'll 692 00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.880 be a regional aspect again to the west and all these teams in the West 693 00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:15.039 were trying to come back together. Maybe you have some of the Texas schools 694 00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:21.440 and stuff like that in there as well. I think it has some kind 695 00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:27.440 of natural attrition has to occur to where it's not TV isn't the be all 696 00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:29.719 end all, And I know that's just a really thing to day at this 697 00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:32.639 point, but I think in sports, there's something to be set for the 698 00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:37.199 home crowd, something to be said for the home fan base, to be 699 00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:39.440 said for regional pride. That's why the Big twelve still exist. It should 700 00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:45.519 be gone, but regional pride to control and nothing happen was you don't have 701 00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:50.079 any until this happened, and I think it it'll bounce back. Tea Money 702 00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.480 is Tea Money taking his money to the Big twelve for the big game. 703 00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:55.239 Come on, aren't you excited about what's going to happen at least in basketball? 704 00:46:57.280 --> 00:46:59.920 Well, I mean I lived in the Big twelve country for a while. 705 00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:05.360 I lived just just south of Lawrence, and I cannot stand Jayhawks fan 706 00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:09.199 at all, and I do want to see that. However, I've said 707 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:14.400 this before and other places of loving. Uh, Still Water sucks, like 708 00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:17.079 you know what I'm saying, Like it's not you see on TV is like, 709 00:47:17.079 --> 00:47:20.199 oh that's great. It's a great call, its town, great college 710 00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:23.159 atmosphere. But as far as like the total vibe and the travel and getting 711 00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:27.719 there and all that, Dad, it's horrendous there. There's gonna be some 712 00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:30.119 attrition there. We'll see how that goes. Man. Yeah, I'm curious 713 00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:36.199 the people in Manhattan and Lubbock and all that say two Sons sucks. You 714 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:40.400 land there and it's all brown. I had that same I had that same 715 00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.519 feeling. I flew into Fresno. What them? I'm like, what, 716 00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:51.880 man sucks? Okay, okay, okay, we're getting in trouble now she 717 00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:57.159 might. Thanks for the call. We appreciate it, Steve, buddy sounds 718 00:47:57.199 --> 00:48:02.000 good. But Steve Normandy, you know, I look and I do. 719 00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:05.519 I mean, there are people who think he's onto some you know, hick 720 00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:09.800 town boy boots and horses and stuff. We've seen it. People didn't weak 721 00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:14.559 or say what the hell? How would they being all upity on us. 722 00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:17.320 We're better than that, of course, but we know we got here, 723 00:48:17.320 --> 00:48:22.639 Steve. But I again going back to why you know why he called I 724 00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:27.159 We've talked about it. I really do hope that in the next iteration of 725 00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:35.880 of realignment, when the TV deals that were just done start to expire, 726 00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:43.960 that somebody, somebody just can pull this all together and create something that makes 727 00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:46.280 sense because none of it. I think the one thing you'll get from everybody 728 00:48:46.639 --> 00:48:51.880 is that none of it makes sense. And that plus, I bet you 729 00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:54.960 in six years because right in the next five years whatever twenty thirty is when 730 00:48:55.000 --> 00:49:00.639 the big ten contra so six years, we're gonna be pretty much on the 731 00:49:00.679 --> 00:49:07.639 internet. We're gonna be Yeah, that'll be on that'll be that'll be uh, 732 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:12.599 that'll be one of the things that if becomes a thing, you know, 733 00:49:12.840 --> 00:49:19.079 is that, you know, the the whole streaming thing that and again, 734 00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:21.280 you know, I think the PAC twelve is trying to make the argument 735 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.000 we were just ahead of our time on that. Sure it might have been 736 00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:27.519 a good deal in three or four years, but in three or four years 737 00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:31.039 you might be dead. Already. I can see Wired right now and it's 738 00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:35.599 a horse scene. That car stuff is just going to be a fast. 739 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:37.800 So I was just looking up. The SEC deal ends in twenty thirty four, 740 00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:44.280 the Big ten deal ends in twenty thirty, so the the ACC deal 741 00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:49.559 ends in twenty thirty six, and the Big twelve deal ends in twenty thirty 742 00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:52.679 one. So I'm gonna say around the time that the big Big ten deal 743 00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:59.480 starts coming to they start figuring, figuring out ways to restructure all of this, 744 00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:02.159 because you know, you can't wait till twenty thirty six when the ACC 745 00:50:02.320 --> 00:50:07.679 deal is over. If everybody can get their money, being the meaning the 746 00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:12.880 networks and the schools, I can see them restructuring it. Maybe at the 747 00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:15.079 end of this decade. I would at least that's what I would like to 748 00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:22.960 see. Yeah, the end of the decade, Yeah I can you know, 749 00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:28.639 yeah, I can put up with the big twelve or five years social 750 00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:36.039 security. It sounds fun. Jason's looking at it like I gotta get out 751 00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:37.960 of here. I gotta get out of here, said, could you give 752 00:50:37.960 --> 00:50:42.840 me a reference for something? I gotta get out of years? He's gonna 753 00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:47.480 say, how long do you think you can give me a reference? Yeah? 754 00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:51.360 You no affect. I don't want those two giving me a reference. 755 00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:54.360 Yeah, man, you know, just just take some of our clips, 756 00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:59.719 man.

I will say one thing we'll run that time. 764 00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:31.079 I feel a whole lot better about the Pack, about the Arizona movie 765 00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:37.039 being and having the break Your mark is their commissioner, and then the guys 766 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:38.880 that they've marched up.
