Uh work on HVAC 11 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.479 had a lot of money. Hey, welcome everybody. Welcome to Thursday edition. 12 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.840 Thursday's edition of Eye on the Ball of NBA tonight. Yep, finally 13 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.000 the uh you know, it's been a while since we've seen some basketball, 14 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.599 so oh good. I don't even say who you going to win because I 15 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:14.680 don't want to hear it. For obvious reasons I don't want to do the 16 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.680 jinx me. Yeah. Well, okay, then we have our guy Ryan 17 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.799 with his Dallas Mavericks shirt on. Oh I didn't even notice, right, 18 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:26.879 I guess you just get it. I actually got it yesterday. Oh it's 19 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.200 it's like the NBA Finals shirt. You can still see the wrinkles in it. 20 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.439 Okay, okay, okay, what see. I I've always hesitated to 21 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.439 get I mean, I'm saying it right now. Right, I got a 22 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.040 College World Series shirt on from twenty twenty one, but that it was a 23 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:48.640 gift. I hesitate to get that until they win the championship because you know, 24 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.359 I don't want to get a finals shirt and then have them lose the 25 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.519 finals. Then I don't feel like wearing the shirt. Yeah, I mean 26 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.959 I understand that I've always done it, though, like if my team's have 27 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.439 like won the rents or like the division or something you always trying to get. 28 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.959 So so now you'll spend another thirty five bucks on the championship if they 29 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.280 win it, at least probably fifty. Yeah, there's a lot of other 30 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.800 stuff that you could buy. Jim preconceives because he can't buy it because eventually 31 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.599 if he bets on him or talks about him. You're not gonna win it, 32 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:23.520 so why buy it? But like I don't. I've never bought Dodgers 33 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.000 Nation League Champions jersey shirt, right, and if they don't win the World 34 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.360 Series, then I don't get a shirt. So that But that's so you 35 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:36.280 said a lot of money. That's me and the mojo. That's me and 36 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.000 the mojo. He's got a figure. But you said that's a good thing. 37 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:44.719 That's a good thing on not on YouTube? Dot what everything flies on 38 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.360 YouTube? What the hell not? If you could do it, damn well 39 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.560 I could do it. But but no, that's cool. It's cool. 40 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.719 I mean you like ordered that immediately and yeah, like like as soon as 41 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.000 the game was over. I went on to fanatics and in guyline like I'm 42 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.039 gonna get it right now. Yeah, I mean I I you know, 43 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.199 I did that when the when the Dodgers won the World Series in twenty I 44 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.960 mean the game had just ended and I was ordering my stuff. I mean, 45 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.439 you get you gotta order that pretty quick if you're going to yeah, 46 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:20.560 because it goes Yeah, its win tonight, I hope. So that doesn't 47 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.319 answer the question. I took the Celtics they're gonna win tonight. He just 48 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.199 took the Celtics. You're guaranteed to win. It's gonna be it's gonna be 49 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:30.840 a very close. It should be a fun series. Yeah, because two 50 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.680 Boston is a very good team and Dallas has played very well with two fantastic 51 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:40.120 players. And here's the here's the thing. My colleague here or my partner 52 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.400 here, Uh you who would you think is gonna win the series? Before 53 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.719 I go here? I think Celtics. Okay, okay uh. And not 54 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:51.800 because of the obvious, but a year or two ago when the trade was 55 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.199 made with Kyrie, yeah, you don't want him. I didn't like it. 56 00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.879 I still don't like I don't like kyriev and I think he's bad for 57 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.759 most every team he's been on. I'm a little surprised that you know that 58 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.439 they're here because because that he he helped get him here, they found the 59 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.319 way to go exist. Yeah. No, I I'm not a fan of 60 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.800 Kyrie Irving. I think he's he's one of those guys that can that can 61 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.920 direct the locker room record team. But you know, somebody said, maybe 62 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.720 it was just the fit that that you know, that he needed, and 63 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:27.800 and that and that the Mavericks needed because you know, a lot of the 64 00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.160 places he's been it's just not worked out, you know that. So you 65 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.199 know, good, good for him, good for the Mavericks. But I'm 66 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.959 taking the Celtics. You know. I was worried about that too when they 67 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:42.879 got him, because I was like, he really gonna mess with Luca exactly, 68 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.160 you know, the players they had at the time, And I was 69 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.879 worried about that. You know, I'm glad that he's he's worked out, 70 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:54.600 and what the what's the dynamic with Horsingus and and uh and uh the guard 71 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.120 I can't want to say his name. No, no, with the Dallas 72 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:03.240 they shipped him, was there some chemistry issues? Okay? And I don't 73 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:08.160 remember. It was kind of it was kind of strange how I saw. 74 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.920 I didn't listen to it, but I was leaving and they brought the dynamic 75 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.879 with Porzingis. Yeah. What I remember from Porzingis was he just he got 76 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.560 injured a lot. Yeah, and he's like he was really good for Dallas 77 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.879 when he was on the court, but he just he got injured. So 78 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.000 there was no chemistry issues with I don't think him the rest Okay, Well, 79 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.439 I don't care if he plays or not, because he obviously he's a 80 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.079 heck of a player. But they've done well without him. Do they need 81 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.560 him? I guess we'll see. Yeah, you know, I here's the 82 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:40.279 thing. I think it's gouna be a really good series for a brief moment, 83 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:46.040 For a brief moment, I entertained the idea of that since I think 84 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.319 the Celtics are gonna win taking Celtics money line. But on the money line 85 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.160 today the Celtics minus two thirty or something like that, And so if they 86 00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:00.519 don't win it in say five games, you're gonna lose money, right if 87 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.759 if, if, if the MAVs even win two games, and you're betting 88 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.800 the same amount, you're gonna you're not gonna win daily Yeah, on every 89 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.759 game? Oh yeah, okay, yeah no, yeah, you don't want 90 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.720 to do that. Yeah, yeah, no, I thought you said for 91 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.600 the series. I actually took him at that number two thirty. And it's 92 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.360 not it's gonna get you what twenty It's gonna get you a little more than 93 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.160 half. If you bet twenty five bucks, you'll win fifteen. Yeah, 94 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.199 it's it's it's a simple. I thought that Boston is the best team. 95 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.800 We'll see if that's I teased. I teased the points spread down to two 96 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.319 and a half's six and a half, right from six from six and a 97 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:32.920 half two, which is what's that? I got minus one ninety on that 98 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.319 and then I and then I parlayed it with the under that's what I've got 99 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:41.199 just for ten bucks. You know, Dallas, I used to live there 100 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.720 before I got here. Uh senor uh Dallas. There's a great meme on 101 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:51.000 the internet because the uh the Rangers, Yeah, the one the cockey team 102 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.480 start that was done well. Uh, there's another team that's done well. 103 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.240 I can't remember which one it is. Uh, there's a team well, 104 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.439 no, so two teams. And now now you've got the Mavericks in the 105 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.600 finals and they're saying, okay, Cowboys, what the hell happened? And 106 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.680 you give it. They're they're your Dallas Cowby, they're your Dodgers. I 107 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.399 mean, I talk about this all the time. I was with some Cowboy 108 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.000 fans over the weekend. I set them straight and they're like, why are 109 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.639 you so negative? I said, I'm just telling you the truth. They've 110 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.319 sucked since nineteen ninety five. It's been a while. Yeah, you know. 111 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:24.639 Yeah, what am I supposed to do? Change the facts? And 112 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.360 I used to be a Cowboy fan. Yeah, but that's the team that's 113 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.319 you know, the Cowboys blotty do. Waiting on them to get it going. 114 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.040 I don't know if they're going to do it. Those they have so 115 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:39.480 many issues. There's that's a dysfunctional family. Very very good regular season team, 116 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:44.199 but when it comes to the playoffs, they're just Yeah, I think 117 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.040 we got so many training call in. I just got a call. Yeah. 118 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.319 No, I think I do think it's gonna be a good and fun 119 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:57.480 series. I really do. I think it's I mean, I guess you 120 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.199 know what I'm thinking. Oklahoma City did nothing for me. You know, 121 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:01.439 it's the number one scene. I'm like, they don't look like a championship 122 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.360 team. They do not. They just don't got a call record. Let's 123 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.879 take this, Hi, you're on the air and eye on the ball. 124 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:16.000 Yes, I'll take uh. Dallas and I'm getting five points. That's that's 125 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.319 good. That's a good number. I mean, I think it's gonna be 126 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.360 a close game. Dallas and five. Vegas has them six and six and 127 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.279 a half is what I saw. Yeah, I know, but I got 128 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:31.480 my buddy, he's he's pretty cheap, and you ended up being the nice 129 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:37.159 guy. He was trying to give me three and I felt, you know, 130 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.559 a couple of choice words, and I said, all right, we'll 131 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:46.159 put the difference in me live. All right, that's the way. I'm 132 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.799 Kyrie Irby. By the way. One thing I've noticed he had an interview 133 00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.000 a while ago. But he's married and he's got a child, and I've 134 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:03.360 watched. I think he really has matured in the last couple of years. 135 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:09.200 A children have a tendency to mellow you out a little bit. Yeah, 136 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.200 if that kid is or the child is under two three years old, that 137 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.080 makes sense. Yeah, what makes sense, Absolutely makes sense. Yeah, 138 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.759 the big yeah you just like to me, might be three. But you 139 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.759 kid too, if you uh, if you had kids, Rick, but 140 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.399 I'm sure you do one on a Tuesday night, you should take care of 141 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.039 him. Well, you know what, I'm a grandpa and now I'm a 142 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.960 great grandpa and guess what, wh she gets to hold them at my discretion. 143 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.799 You've matured because of it, Thank you, Rick, Thank you. 144 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.039 Yeah. Yeah, you guys have a good day. It's like that, 145 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.960 what do we bet? We bet a football game? Right, where you 146 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.440 gave me not even close to what the points spread was, and I took 147 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.639 it and you'd still lost when it was one of the game, it's one 148 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.279 of your FA football games this last season. It was the USC game or 149 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.960 something. Oh yeah, yeah, the spread was like twenty one or something 150 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.879 and he only gave me fourteen something like that. Yeah, you're right, 151 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.519 and I'm thinking, how is this happening? And it turned out to be 152 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.000 that's the team that we saw. Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. 153 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.639 I think I remember. I remember getting or giving you a saying, 154 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.440 god it, I take him, take him to the clean. I was 155 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.480 like, your, holy crap, you're gonna pull this off. Yeah, 156 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.720 so you know, Heyrick was a nice guy, and yeah, well let's 157 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.600 see and take the four. Let's you know, I didn't feel confident in 158 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.559 the six and a half. It'll be right there. And look, and 159 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.240 you know what, I honestly don't care. I don't have any dog in 160 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.039 this fight. I'm just betting it because it's the finals and it's fun and 161 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.399 the game is gonna come on and I'm gonna watch it. Yeah, it's 162 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.519 uh, it's gonna be a long road here. Like two weeks seeing what's 163 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.879 gonna happen? Welcome to the NBA Playoffs. Yeah, pray for my sanity. 164 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.600 Well, you know, then tonight they have the World Series obviously the 165 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.679 college World Series. See if Oklahoma wins the fourth straight, which would be 166 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.320 again, something else I'm not watching. I saw last night last night was 167 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.000 a song when there whatever it was, Texas made a short rally. But 168 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.240 you know what, the guy that's done very well, maybe you've get him 169 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.000 on the show at some point here as things settled down for the summer is 170 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.440 del Conte. Uh, he's a he's a friend. I give him crap 171 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.960 about stuff, but he's turned that Texas. You're friends with him? Yeah, 172 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.759 unfortunately, anything anything, you know it well, it's it's in the 173 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.240 way I become friends with people. You don't give him crap. It's like 174 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.320 we grew he grew up in northern New Mexico. Okay people, Oh yeah, 175 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.840 something common with Yeah, yeah, New Mexico. I give him crap 176 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.919 because he's he's he was here for a while and and it's two Hispanic dudes 177 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.440 giving each other grief and then going out for a beer. That type of 178 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.039 you know, call each other names, you know, bad names, blah, 179 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.600 blah blah, we want to go eat Okay, yeah, okay, 180 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:46.960 got it. Okay, So let's have him because he's done a tremendous, 181 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.159 tremendous job. Well, he's Texas. I mean, he's arguably the second 182 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.200 or third, maybe fourth most powerful person college athletics. And I'll go there 183 00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:01.120 with him, because how is this kid from northern New Mexico small. He's 184 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.639 up there with Greg Sanky, He's up there with guys like Greg Burn, 185 00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.279 you know those kinds of guys. He probably ahead of Greg Burn. Now, 186 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.720 I mean he's in Alabama, but Texas, and he's got a lot 187 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:15.799 of sports. He had the best softball team in the country. They're number 188 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.519 one in the country, and then swimming when they just stole the Ears and 189 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.600 they and they're buying coaches, they're taking their taking. I mean, he's 190 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.759 in a position where he can just say this is this is who I want. 191 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.519 Yeah, let's take this call. Hi, you're on the air behind 192 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:35.759 the Ball. Yeah, I wanted piggyback on. Uh uh Steve talking about 193 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.240 del Conte and Texas. You know, I listened to I listened to your 194 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.720 show and other shows, and I haven't heard much about the women's golf coach 195 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.320 leaving. Was it money, greener pastors, change the scenery or are their 196 00:12:52.360 --> 00:13:00.159 issues you can't talk about? Is it the you know, the fluctuations in 197 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.480 the athletic department. Do you have any take on that. My guess would 198 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.200 be money. Yeah, the assumption when it's when it's a Texas or in 199 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.919 an Alabama or something like that, taking your coach, you just make the 200 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.919 general assumption that it's it's money and opportunity resources, right without questions. And 201 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.080 I say that because when she's a U a grat, she's won a title 202 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.720 or two here right too. She's been here and I was at the golf 203 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:24.519 event that they had a month ago, just built them a great facility. 204 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.559 She was almost in tears talking about how important it was to have it, 205 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:33.039 and then someone swooped in. Yeah, yeah, you make the assumption it's 206 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.399 money. Well yeah, you know, I kind of assume that, but 207 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.559 it just seems odd with all the new facilities and everything that boom she's gone. 208 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.840 But it may be a big bark. Yeah, well that's it. 209 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.360 Well, that's it. I mean that that's because they've got she now has 210 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.840 this facility that's as good as probably any facility in the country on one of 211 00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.440 the great golf courses you know, in the area. What else could it 212 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.639 be then that that she would leave for except for a hef do you raise 213 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:07.039 in salary? So that Again, we don't know unless it's some underlying issue. 214 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.200 Right, nobody knows about her talk No, no, but you you 215 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.879 would hear things, yeah, no, And this is this is not a 216 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.440 minor sport. What do you call it? Just a minor sport. Yeah, 217 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.440 it's a non revenue sport. But we haven't heard anything. And you 218 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.879 usually hear something, especially after they leave here. Well, you didn't know 219 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:30.559 this was going out. We've heard zero. Yeah, it just seems you 220 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.639 know, and I understand after seventeen years and money in Austin could be appealing, 221 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.159 but uh it, you know, she's done so well and golf has 222 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.440 done so well here. Yeah, yeah, no, it's my number one 223 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:46.559 thing with that, I would think I would think money. Hey, thanks 224 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.399 for the call. We do appreciate it. Keep listening. We love you 225 00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.559 guys listening to us. Thank you.

It's great. It's nice to see that, pat, 344 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.119 you know, because we've been you know, I was born here, 345 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.359 so you know, I kind of know who all these people are who are 346 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:08.599 going into the Hall of Fame. We're just talking yesterday about how it's not 347 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.119 just guys who you know, guys who made it to the major leagues or 348 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:17.160 professional football or whatever. It's people like you know, the day Lopez is 349 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.559 that. You know, we just talk mentioned Jerry Gastellum, uh, Tom 350 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.839 Danny, people like that who are just a part of sports in this community. 351 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.119 How important is that to you? Guys? And and and you know, 352 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.839 how do you how do you? You know? What are you looking 353 00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.640 for when you're looking for guys like that? I shouldn't say guys. People 354 00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:40.920 guys like Jibblemander Whowre high school All city player, thirteen years in the minor 355 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.240 leagues, right, you know, you know to ride those buses like that. 356 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.200 Oh man, yeah, and he did it and now you think he 357 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.160 works as a scout tour right now. But that's these people that just keep 358 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.640 fighting, fighting, and you know, we get we get like we know 359 00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.759 we're sixty No, you know, people you know sitting as if may applications 360 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.200 to be in the Hall of Fame. And that's we have to break that 361 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.440 down to twelve with two teams, right, And I want to mention one 362 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.359 thing about the Hall of Fame. It was founded in nineteen eighty nine by 363 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:17.079 a guy named alside Al was a wrestler from New Jersey. Got a scholarship 364 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:19.880 with the University girls and a wrestling scholarship. And he's the one that started 365 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.599 the Hall of Fame there. Now, this is something that's really weird. 366 00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:26.720 I was at a Red Big Grads reunion about like ten years, eight years 367 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.880 ago something like that, and I was sitting with Rolly Eastwood. Raleigh was 368 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:36.200 from New Jersey. I didn't realize that he and Outside wrestled in the state 369 00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:41.240 championship against each other. Wow, it's amazing, And so I got Al 370 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.599 was real he was really ill at the time, and I got a hold 371 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.680 of him that I had gave Rolling the phone and they started going back. 372 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.400 I should have beat you. You should have beat what. He can't see 373 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.000 the pet he handed the phone. Al said, Pat, that's the most 374 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:56.400 punt I've had in a long time. So it was nice that way. 375 00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.480 He passed away. You know, they a week late or something like that. 376 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.519 So you've you've included twelve more people total, how many through the years 377 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:10.599 since nineteen eighty nine. I think right now are around four thirty six something 378 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.440 like that, because we've added teams. We just you know, recently, 379 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:15.839 we just started adding teams about six years ago, five six years to my 380 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.640 two teams. And that helps out too. It's fun to watch these, 381 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:23.720 you know, the kids, not kids that the older adults come and get 382 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:27.000 to see their former teammates and their coaches. It's a lot of fun that 383 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:30.599 way. Yeah, so you know, but you know, thinking about some 384 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.079 of these people though, like like Dale, like Jerry, you know, 385 00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.799 who just are involved, and I mean that's such a big deal to this 386 00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.119 community to have got people like that who've just been around you know, that 387 00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:45.440 they get to get to be in this Like I'm not a Hall of Fame 388 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.519 athletes, He's not a Hall of Fame athlete, you know, but you 389 00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.839 know, people like that who just get get a chance to you know, 390 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.400 I don't want to say rebelbows, but just get recognized for the amount of 391 00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.920 effort they put into this kind of stuff. That's what it's all about. 392 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.640 It's all about these people, you know, people that have just battled and 393 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:06.240 battled and you know, made it through the minor leagues or you know, 394 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.119 you know colleagues playing there or something like that, but just really worked at 395 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.079 it, and they you know, they make it up through the Hall of 396 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.400 Fame. So you out of the twelve if you want to just mention the 397 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.440 names, and then you have a banquet in November. I think it is 398 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.440 our banquet is in our press conference in October sixteenth. This is at the 399 00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:27.000 Double Tree Repark and our is at October sixteen, eleven o'clock. Our banquet 400 00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:32.240 is on November seventeenth at twelve thirty at the Double Tree, and anybody can 401 00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:34.519 go to the dinner. Correct, Yes, we're going to have that. 402 00:26:34.599 --> 00:26:37.359 We don't have the tickets out yet, too early for that, but that'll 403 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.319 be coming on soon. We'll have that out there and people can call and 404 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.680 get the tickets. So you mentioned that the number of applications and those kinds 405 00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.720 of things that you get, nominations and whatnot. How tough is it year 406 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.839 to year, you know, to narrow it down to you know, this 407 00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.599 many people and you know, do the same people keep coming back and saying, 408 00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:56.799 you know, this should be my year, this should be my year. 409 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:02.160 How hard is that? It's tough and we know we just I mean 410 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.000 a while back it was like sixteen in the Hall of Fame, eighteen and 411 00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:08.759 that we've we now down to twelve with two teams, and that's tough. 412 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.519 That we get so many people calling, you know, senate applications dinner and 413 00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:15.400 something friend of theirs writing about it, why this person should be in? 414 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.240 Yeah, they really want to be and that's what that's Those are the people 415 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.680 that battle it and that's yeah, and they should be rewarded too. I'm 416 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.519 assuming I'm assuming correctly. I think you're in it too, aren't you? 417 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:32.680 What year I am? I mean I was in geez that it was like 418 00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.960 had to be maybe seventy five or something like that. I don't know, 419 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.319 a long time ago. Wait wait, wait wait, so I thought you 420 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:42.359 said you started in eighty nine. That's no, no, that's that's after 421 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.680 me. But anyway, just like say, does we did our first I 422 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.319 did the first even call it name. It was downtown at the rotting In 423 00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:53.720 and they're probably like there must have been like twenty two people there or something 424 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:59.880 like that. So it's going on. It's going on from there. Yeah, 425 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.119 but it's a lot of fun. Yeah. So, uh, you 426 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.079 know, year to year you're you're getting these folks. What's the process? 427 00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.160 When do you start the process and how long does it take and who does 428 00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.119 it? Right? I'm assuming there's some sort of a committee, But what's 429 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:17.519 the conversation like when you're going through some of these different people. Well, 430 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:22.559 we have you know, people sending information in and then we'll go we'll discuss 431 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:25.519 it. So, like you said last week, like most sixty people you 432 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.880 know, sending something in and so we have to go through that list now. 433 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:32.480 Doesn't mean they don't get elected go to the next year. That happens 434 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:34.039 a lot too, But it's just one of these things. There's so many 435 00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:38.079 people coming out now that are going to be in the Hall of Fame. 436 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:44.400 Yeah, yeah, no question. So is there is there a special place 437 00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.160 though? I mean, is it kind of let me ask it this way. 438 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.200 You know, you get an Edvsberg, right who? Uh, you 439 00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:56.039 know, little League College, you know, maybe World Series. Those those 440 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:02.680 guys are easy. Which ones are the hard ones to decide on? Uh? 441 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:07.039 Like a like a Kim Olander, maybe a Bob Lacy who wanted to 442 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.480 get you know, I know him a little bit of Calabroni and they played 443 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.000 in professional baseball for quite a while and he was just when he wasn't getting 444 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:22.359 any he sent me a letter with just a question mark on it. That's 445 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:27.359 good market we get him in there. Questions, Well, that's kind of 446 00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:30.000 cool that people really really really want to get in, right, I mean, 447 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.400 it's a it's a huge honor for some of it for these people. 448 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.319 Oh, Yeah, definitely. It's it's they want to get in and people 449 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:40.160 you don't realize that tell how much it means to him till they get up 450 00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:42.039 there. I'm I'm the Master's sim I'm right next to him when they're giving 451 00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.319 their talks. You know, they get cherry eye and stuff like that. 452 00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.119 It's it's it's a it's a special moment. Are you guys modeled after any 453 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:53.400 others like this? You know this is Pima County? Are there other cities, 454 00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.599 county states? Who? What do they do and where where do you 455 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.200 get some of your ideas about how to do this? Well, you know, 456 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.359 we kind of learned as we go along here, you know, the 457 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:06.000 good things we did and some things we didn't do right, stuff like that. 458 00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:08.319 But uh, it's you know, it's working. And you know, 459 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.960 I said outside started the whole thing. But it's good just getting it's good, 460 00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.480 you know, seeing people get them. We had Soorrel High School volleyball 461 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:22.039 about two years ago and almost Hope the whole team was there and they were 462 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.759 and their coaches there and I guess they started out and the coach they was 463 00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.319 okay at Sorrel and the coach said over the summer I was, we're gonna 464 00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.039 travel around, we're gonna play tough teams. And they got into it and 465 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:36.119 they did. They played and they get it, and you know we're one 466 00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.839 of the tough teams in Arizona. Yeah no, that you guys do a 467 00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.319 great job, a great job. Yeah. Here's what more, here's what 468 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:48.400 it stands out to me. Calleberti football teams they had. They were a 469 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.599 bad team, and after their season was over, the players all got together 470 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.880 and they signed a contract that they're gonna come, they're gonna work out, 471 00:30:56.920 --> 00:30:59.880 they're gotta come to practice, and they ended up they end up in it, 472 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.160 winning their position in the state championship. Yeah. Well, well that's 473 00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:07.400 you know, that's what you need to have, you know, to have 474 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.400 teams like that. All right, so let let's uh, let let's talk 475 00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.519 a little bit of baseball, pat, you know how much of you know, 476 00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:15.119 I think we've had this conversation, but you know, baseball is changing 477 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:19.400 every day. You're getting guys are making half a billion dollars and stuff like 478 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.559 that. You know what's that like for you? Somebody who played, you 479 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.759 know, into the mid seventies, so you're like this one, okay, 480 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.319 I was good the Lake Joe Morgan and we talk a lot. His first 481 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.880 year in the Major League he made seven thousand, five hundred dollars. Jeez 482 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:45.640 geez. I mean he probably made more per game doing college baseball on ESPN 483 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.839 than then than that. That's that's crazy. But you know you said gout 484 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.960 like shoy Otani right there. I mean, is nearly a billion dollar, 485 00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.359 billion dollar ball player over the years. That's got to be mind boggling to 486 00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.759 you. It's just it's just the money they you know, the money you're 487 00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:02.599 making. And when you go to like some of these you know, like 488 00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:07.799 the Reds, you have a yearly thing get together some of the players and 489 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:09.039 some of these guys think it's, you know, no big deal, and 490 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:14.119 it's one of them. You know, it's like we're struggling. They got 491 00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:15.559 all this money. They've made all this money, right, So let me 492 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.559 ask you, what are your thoughts on the pitch count having been a pitcher, 493 00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:24.400 but count not the count, the clock, the clock. It's not 494 00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:28.839 that it's not that I would I don't like. Here's you know, how 495 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.799 the umpires, you know, the catchers, the umpires move around too much 496 00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.119 or they I wouldn't like. You see an outfielder with on his wrist, 497 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:38.640 he yes, where's this here? Very supposed to play this? Hit her? 498 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:42.519 You know they all so they have, They told her everything to do, 499 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.640 and that did We just played? Yeah right, yeah, well okay, 500 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:51.119 you were a picture of what would you think of an electronic strike zone 501 00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:54.400 right where it's not the umpire calling the pitches, but there's a little electronic 502 00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.640 box that somehow tells you whether it's a ball or strike, call the pitches 503 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:01.880 all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let'll tell you a funny story. 504 00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:06.400 There's another story. I was pitching that game and uh, it's Cincinnati 505 00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:09.519 and the umpire you see me up baseball? I turned. I didn't like 506 00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:14.559 to do it back. So next inning he throws me the same ball again. 507 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:19.599 I said, hey, you used to do this on four I was 508 00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:24.920 just testing you. But but would you like that or not? I you 509 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:28.000 know, I just think played, you know, play the game and have 510 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.920 everybody you know have all these before their stats, all these things they gotta 511 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:35.119 do. You gotta play this position that and the balls. You know, 512 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:37.599 the balls, man, we used to you know, balls were you could 513 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.000 tell them that all the time. Yea, you know, there there was 514 00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:43.920 no big and the balls because the balls could stay in place for two or 515 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.640 three innings. Four inns now hit the dirt and they throw it out. 516 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.599 Yeah, you're notorious for being part of one of the best teams on UH. 517 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.359 Ever with Cincinnati, I'm curious. Were you on a team that was 518 00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:58.160 already uh here we are mid June, first first week of June and down 519 00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:00.400 a number of games, like, you know, fourteen fifteen games. How 520 00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:04.680 was it to survive a season like that when you when it's like just going 521 00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:08.639 to work and it sucks. Yeah, the minor leagues is bad. I 522 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.000 played at Houston, had some bad minor league teams, and we've finished last 523 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.960 place every year and used to losing. That's not good. You know, 524 00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.800 in Cincinnati they had a really good minor league. They won most of the 525 00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:23.599 times, and they're guys, all you expected to win. Well, yeah, 526 00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:27.559 but it was kind of tough, right Hey, Pat, thanks for 527 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.440 joining us.

We're gonna 575 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.960 take something from Ryan Now from breaking news to a big news out of the 576 00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:00.119 Los Angeles area. Lakers. Well, yeah, we get up this morning 577 00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:08.519 and uh uh Adrian Rojanowski sends out the old WOJ bomb saying that, uh, 578 00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:14.800 Danny Danny Hurley is a candidate, not just a candidate, but they're 579 00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:16.920 Lakers are looking to hire him. I wonder what I went with the Reddick 580 00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:20.320 thing, because I thought that was pretty much a done deal too. Well, 581 00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:24.239 I said, that's that's the big question, is that you know, 582 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:29.559 it seemed like things were getting close to being done, uh with with Raddick, 583 00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:31.360 and but it didn't get done, right He's and they and that they're 584 00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:35.360 saying that some of that has to do with the fact that that Radick is 585 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.199 still working the finals, you know, for TV and stuff. But you 586 00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:42.159 know, it didn't get done and has gotten done, And is this why 587 00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:47.000 it hasn't gotten done? So I don't know, well, but I surprised, 588 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.719 not surprised. I guess yeah. What it does is it opens up 589 00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.880 the rest of the college basketball scene to having another or a different championship right 590 00:38:55.039 --> 00:38:58.159 this year because they're going to be good, you know, we have to 591 00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.519 be lucky, good and all that stuff. But they were building a juggie 592 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:02.360 out over there. Well again, if you if you look at it, 593 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:06.360 if you look at it this way, you think about the fact that if 594 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:12.800 Danny Hurley goes to the Lakers. Now the most recent college football national championship 595 00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:17.440 coach and the college basketball named national championship coach both have high tailed it for 596 00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:21.719 the pros. And you know, well, what does that say. Does 597 00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:24.800 it say, Okay, the money was was you couldn't you know, he 598 00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:30.400 couldn't turn down the money? Yes? Does it or does it say coaching 599 00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:34.760 in college sucks? Yes? And well, let me if you remember, 600 00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.800 because I think you worked, you worked the final four in the press room, 601 00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.960 right, what was heard he saying that night? He says, I 602 00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:45.920 already have to start thinking about the ni l stuff within within this house, 603 00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:49.039 right and then going after playing right, well, and that's become a huge 604 00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:52.400 burden. Yeah. And you know at last year's tournament, I was at 605 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:54.559 the regional in Vegas and he actually went on a little bit of a rant 606 00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:58.679 at the you know when you know, when they got to the final four, 607 00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.920 you know, in the postgame press conference after winning the regional, you 608 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:04.880 know, getting ready to go to the Final four, and he went on 609 00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.360 a little bit of a rant then about how much it sucks. And he 610 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.039 said, here, I am, I've just got my team to the final 611 00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:13.199 four, and I have to recruit my team right right, because he said 612 00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:15.199 that again, yeah this year. You know, they said that today as 613 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:19.800 they're doing some stuff with with this story, and I'm thinking, Okay, 614 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.199 I don't know how many how much money he makes, but I know Timmy 615 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.840 Lloyd makes about five million. Yeah, and every coach like him makes about 616 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:29.639 five million. And I think that's what he's making about. So give me 617 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:34.079 those real world problems, right, is it tough? No question? The 618 00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.039 problem is that now he's coaching kids who are making a lot of money, 619 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.400 will they listen to your coaching? And how much money do you need it 620 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.519 to be given? Bags? Yeah, well that's it. You know. 621 00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:46.599 I was watching Dan Patrick this morning as this news was breaking, right and 622 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:52.039 as a coincidence, at Gino Orima on his show, Connecticut women's basketball coach 623 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:55.880 and Orima had a really interesting take. He said, he said, look, 624 00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:01.480 we're not college coaches anymore. We're pro coaches now, we're coaching professionals. 625 00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:05.599 He said, make no mistake about it. We're not coaching you know, 626 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:07.880 we're not, He says, So why and he's not He said, 627 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:12.199 Look, I'm not encouraging. I'm not trying to get him to leave. 628 00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:15.840 But from where I sit, why would you want to If you're going to 629 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:20.320 be coaching pros, why wouldn't you want to coach pros who know how to 630 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:22.960 be pros as opposed to coaching pros who have no idea what it's like to 631 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:27.159 be a pro perfect. He said, we're not coaching amateurs anymore. These 632 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.199 are professional athletes, sure that we are coaching now, So why wouldn't you 633 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:35.760 want to go make some more money and coach pros who are actually pros? 634 00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:38.079 And then you could take some time off once a seasons. Right, you 635 00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:40.440 have time off, right, you don't have to you don't have to go 636 00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:45.280 out recruiting, you don't have to recruit your team every year, all these 637 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.119 other things that he said, But it's he said, make no bones about 638 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:52.960 it. We're not amateur. We're not coaching amateurs anymore. We're coaching professional. 639 00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:55.760 How would you handle I know lut would not like it at all. 640 00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.800 I'm pretty confidence. How would you like to do this where you're making good 641 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.039 money, obviously making let's say five million, and then now you have Killer 642 00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:07.679 Love making x amount of money and it's x not a small X amount of 643 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:10.000 money. And then you have other kids making X amount of money and you're 644 00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:14.360 trying to make them motivated one of the things. And I'll go to my 645 00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:20.320 deathbed with this. Sean Miller had a hard time motivating eight Trier Alkins, 646 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.760 those one and done guys, right, because guess what from September to April 647 00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:28.079 when they were here. I'll listen to you when I can, because guess 648 00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:31.400 what after the season, I'm bout of here. Honestly, it's a rented 649 00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:37.320 player. No, you're you're one hundred percent correct. Now maybe, and 650 00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:42.920 this is this is where I hope that they get this stuff corralled. You 651 00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:45.599 know, if it gets to a point where, okay, we're gonna have 652 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:51.119 professional athletes playing college college sports, which means now you're gonna have to have 653 00:42:51.239 --> 00:42:54.079 contracts, you're gonna have, you know, to rain all this in where 654 00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:57.559 and you can say, okay, if you want to play here, you 655 00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.960 gotta sign a three year contract right to play. And if you don't want 656 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:02.760 to sign a three year contract, then you're gonna you're not gonna play here, 657 00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:06.760 you know, stuff like that, and and but there's a lot of 658 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.599 legal aspects to that. I just saw, you know, a thing today 659 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:15.039 that said that there's this Division one College Athletes Advisory Committee, I think it's 660 00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:20.440 what it's called. So it's basically a group that's representing Division one athletes. 661 00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:23.480 They're saying, the athletes do not want to be employees. They're trying to 662 00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:30.639 they're trying to do not They're trying to create a system where you can be 663 00:43:30.719 --> 00:43:36.280 a college athlete but not and get paid, but not be an employee of 664 00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:39.360 the university that's paying you. So what would they be called. I don't 665 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.159 know. That's just it. There's nothing like this. This doesn't exist. 666 00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:47.599 They have to make it up. They know, they literally have to create 667 00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:52.880 this. I mean, I don't know if it's the US Department of Revenue, 668 00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:57.840 the or Treasury Department or the State Department or whoever has to there. 669 00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:01.119 They're basically that's what they're saying, we need to create system that's unlike any 670 00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:06.320 system that exists, so that these athletes are going to get paid hundreds of 671 00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:09.440 thousands, maybe millions of dollars are getting paid by somebody, but they're not 672 00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:15.280 an employee of that person or that company or group or university that's paying. 673 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:20.159 Let me give you a scenario. So you're talking about me signing a three 674 00:44:20.239 --> 00:44:22.239 year deal. If I don't like it, I can take it, take 675 00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:24.320 it or leave it. Jay, What if I'm a guy that you really 676 00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:29.599 really want and I'm a coach, I'm not gonna stay but two years. 677 00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.719 I'm telling you this right now. But the three year obligation is there now 678 00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:36.360 because you need to win or want to win. You got to decide. 679 00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:38.559 You got to decide as a coach, are you selling your soul if that's 680 00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:43.719 the right term for this guy that you need for at least a year or 681 00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.559 two. But you've already said I need you for three years? And then 682 00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:51.639 who may get here? It may suck? Yeah, right, I mean, 683 00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:53.639 you know, think more. Think about these all the all the five 684 00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:57.920 stars that were never any good. No, no, you signed one of 685 00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.360 those. You signed one of those too, h you know, whatever, 686 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.360 whatever your number is at your school, Let's say a half a million dollar 687 00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.519 contract. Then they get here and they're not worth ten grand, Well that's 688 00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:09.320 the whole thing. And if they're at a point guess what you do? 689 00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:13.119 What would happen to you in the real world, Sorry to say, but 690 00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:16.559 you're you've been terminated. Yeah, and then or do you do you do 691 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:22.159 you? You know, do you trade your point guard to South Carolina for 692 00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.280 their point guard? Well? And you know, what do you do there? 693 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.480 You know? Can you send somebody somewhere that they don't want to go? 694 00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:31.079 Dude? This this hole is crazy. It is all screw. I 695 00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:36.320 hope I don't make sure you have your finger on that button because I could 696 00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.320 cuss, and I'm cussing in context and that doesn't mean I mean, but 697 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:44.360 I don't envy the coaches. But again, they're not getting away with his 698 00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:46.360 cheap too. They have they're making a lot of money through right, so 699 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:51.599 their troubles are being taken care of. But I never imagine this, and 700 00:45:51.639 --> 00:45:55.039 I'm I got ten years in this business if that I never thought this would 701 00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:59.920 come to this. No, you know it and it Steven. It kind 702 00:45:59.960 --> 00:46:02.920 of happened fast, isn't it very fast? That's why that's why there's no 703 00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:08.360 answers. You can't put the toothpaste back in the Yeah, it it as 704 00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:14.519 they say, it escalated quickly and everybody got caught off guard and now you've 705 00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:19.440 got you've got a situation that's just took completely out of control. And even 706 00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:22.920 the solutions that they have are probably not the right solutions, like patchwork solutions. 707 00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:27.679 Every one of them is some sort of a patchwork solution. Okay, 708 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.880 this will take care of things for now, but we need a long term 709 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:34.760 solution. Yeah, and then take care of it for now is probably not 710 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:37.119 the right phrase, because you don't know if it's gonna take care of it. 711 00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:39.639 I don't envy. I don't envy the new A D any any u 712 00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:43.599 A D s because they have to. And we talked about this with with 713 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:45.679 the Rocky and we joke about it with Live and Good and some of the 714 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:49.519 other ones. They're glad they're not an A D. Right. So now 715 00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:52.960 you're getting a little little jagans always is making money on the side with n 716 00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:58.599 I L Now U A U A comes back and has to give little jagansawys 717 00:46:58.880 --> 00:47:04.159 more money because from from the new twenty million dollars bill. And if I'm 718 00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:08.679 a we talked about this with Matt Reynelson and I'm mister mister Levitz, who's 719 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:13.760 giving money to either or I don't need to give it to you anymore. 720 00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:15.800 You already get in it from somewhere else. Why would I give you more 721 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:19.760 money I get, yeah, exactly. And they're saying, because I can 722 00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:21.920 go get it somewhere else. So I'm out of here, and now you're 723 00:47:21.960 --> 00:47:24.559 gonna lose. I don't know, Steve. Yeah, Well, the good 724 00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:28.559 thing is you and I don't have to worry about it. But it's it's 725 00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:32.559 a sad situation. Well the thing about it everywhere, But I guess it's 726 00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.159 it's sad when you compare it to what it was. But on the other 727 00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:40.360 hand, you know, the athletes are getting paid now, which they should 728 00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:45.199 have been getting paid long before this. Yeah, And if the change had 729 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:51.159 happened at a reasonable pace, you know, it might have been it might 730 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:53.199 not have been so bad. I don't know if anybody's listening who's an athlete 731 00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:57.440 or former athlete, because they're gonna get paid from back in the day too. 732 00:47:58.039 --> 00:48:01.880 What would be a reasonable amount to get paid for what they do as 733 00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:07.559 a college athlete? As a college athlete twenty five thousand, and you got 734 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:09.559 a bunch of them, not a little a few of them, You got 735 00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:16.320 a bunch of them, you know. I don't know because because because it's 736 00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:21.320 gonna Steve, it's always going to be tied to what are you bringing in? 737 00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:24.920 Okay? Right? Okay, like like like okay, a car salesman 738 00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:28.599 makes money on the cars that he sells. Here, she sells, right, 739 00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:30.199 they make the more cars they sell, the bigger, the better cars 740 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:34.320 they sell, the more money they make. They're bringing in revenue, so 741 00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:37.519 therefore they get more of it. Sure, so you got a football player, 742 00:48:37.960 --> 00:48:42.079 you know, a quarterback who's helping put fifty thousand people in the seats, 743 00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:45.559 Well, how much should they get versus the tennis player who maybe gets 744 00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.079 forty people at they're at their tennis fan. But if you're okay, I'll 745 00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:52.840 give you that example. But I'm I'm mister Geist or I'm Delaney syesright, 746 00:48:53.519 --> 00:48:58.800 and I'm winning national titles. The football players not doing it. Yeah, 747 00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:01.559 that we'll see. That's thing. That's the dilemma. That's the dilemma. 748 00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:05.760 What what is? What is? What is Jordan guys for Delaney Chanelle Worth 749 00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:09.679 compared to Noah Flafida and and and and Tator mcmill. This line in the 750 00:49:09.800 --> 00:49:15.079 sand is disappears at times and then it moves at times you know, and 751 00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:17.480 maybe you say, Okay, well, okay, Delaney Schanell, go get 752 00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.239 paid by the Olympic Committee. That's where you get your money from, because 753 00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:23.960 they're the ones who are benefiting from you know, what you're doing. I 754 00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:28.199 don't know that I'm just throwing that out. I don't know that that's an 755 00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.920 answer or even a legitimate answer to any of that. But but again, 756 00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:36.519 you know, it goes back to the initial piece of this conversation was that 757 00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:42.320 it's making guys like Danny Hurley, making guys like Jim Barba, making guys 758 00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:49.920 like Nick saban Uh make life decisions that they do not want to any longer. 759 00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:52.840 Be a part of this true and well, the thing too is they're 760 00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:54.800 taking a chance on being good at what they do at the next level. 761 00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:00.239 Historically, Jay, it doesn't work well. You've got to be really really 762 00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:01.719 good at it, and the guys have to respect you. First of all. 763 00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:07.199 It's likely they'll respect Hurly, but it typically doesn't go well for a 764 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:09.440 coach from the college Branks. Okay, but thank you. Okay, but 765 00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:13.480 think about both, Nick, think about what Nick saban right went to the 766 00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.679 end, went to the NFL sucked after a year came back and when he 767 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:19.960 became you know, Danny Hurley is probably in a similar position. If he 768 00:50:20.039 --> 00:50:23.199 goes to the Lakers and it's not very good at it. Who in college 769 00:50:23.239 --> 00:50:28.239 basketball is going to not want to take him back? Oh sure, No, 770 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.719 no, No, he's got a job for life. Yeah he does. 771 00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:36.360 And I if for it this way, If he doesn't take this job, 772 00:50:36.440 --> 00:50:39.360 I think he's crazy. Well, you know what is the one that 773 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:43.239 gave you the reason? Because the funny it was a funny thing. That's 774 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.039 part of the conversation. Because he's he said, he said, he goes. 775 00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:46.519 I was. I was with him last night. We were at an 776 00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:51.000 event last night and I'm sitting next to him. No, he goes, 777 00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:53.079 he goes. And I leaned over him and said, so you're taking that 778 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:55.679 Lakers job. And he said, no, I think you should take the 779 00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:00.239 Lakers job. And that Hurley just kind of looked at him and out of 780 00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:02.960 his head and didn't say anything. WHOA. Well it didn't come out too 781 00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:07.760 He didn't know, he Arima, didn't know that he was talking to the 782 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:10.079 Lakers. It was just a random question. He said, So you think 783 00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:13.519 you're gonna take the Lakers job or you know, so like, you know, 784 00:51:13.639 --> 00:51:15.559 he said, I think you should take the Lakers job, and and 785 00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:19.639 Herey just kind of looked at him and kind of didn't even wink and it 786 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:22.440 just kind of nodded and didn't say anything. He goes, then I get 787 00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:24.280 up this morning and I see this, and I'm like, what the hell. 788 00:51:24.480 --> 00:51:28.519 It's like, what are you doing? And here's the thing. They've 789 00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:30.599 got the same agent. He mentioned, They've got the same agent, and 790 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:35.840 so even the agent hadn't told Arima that this was going. Then he made 791 00:51:35.840 --> 00:51:39.719 another funny point real quick an out of that said, I took less money. 792 00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:43.880 He just signed a contract. Okay, did he goes, I took 793 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:49.679 less money to leave them money to pay to pay. Danny Hurley said, 794 00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:52.360 if he takes the Lakers job, I want some of that money back. 795 00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:57.119 It was a great car if you if you haven't had chances, you can 796 00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:00.119 on social media. You can find that that segment with with Gina Armey. 797 00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:02.360 It was really good. I liked him. I had never really seen him 798 00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:07.519 talk like I've only no, I've only seen him after after games and stuff. 799 00:52:07.559 --> 00:52:09.079 I think you're you know, he made a good point with the kitten 800 00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:13.079 Clark stuff too. If you talked about that as well. It was a 801 00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:15.239 big deal. We can talk about later, all right, We got to 802 00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:15.760 get out of here, top of the arm. We're gonna come back. 803 00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:17.280 Ryan is gonna be here with breaking you so
