Also, we have Kevin in today

00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.399
for a Thursday afternoon show. Lot's
going on a couple of press commences.

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.840
I went to one and you listened
to the other and I missed. Oh

8
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.000
yeah, but you, mister,
you sleep, You're sleeping. I'm working,

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.479
Steve, I'm working hard. Yeah, right, I'm working. I

10
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.200
want to see video in the home
in the homesketch of another another issue of

11
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.280
the magazine. I want to see
the video of that. Hey, you're

12
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:52.320
in the magazine. So I want
to report to the JEU Nudjet to the

13
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.119
Tommy Lloyd press comments in preparation for
watching. I'll have a question about something

14
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.479
in the second What did Jed say? You know, well, it was

15
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.040
an elimable press conference. Both him
and Brent Bevennables were there, so there

16
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.239
were a lot of you know kind
of softball questions. Jed talked about,

17
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.480
you know, falling in love with
with uh uh, the idea of being

18
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.959
a coach or being involved in football
when he was ten years old and he

19
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:22.040
saw that festival with Michigan, I
mean with the Penn State and Miami back

20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.879
in eighty seven. Remember that National
Championship festival that they set up for a

21
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:32.000
national champion game. You know the
Campbell Testy any Testaverdi and Penn State won

22
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.079
that game. I remember fourteen ten. Miami was driving down for a game

23
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.280
winning score and Penn State picked him
off. You know where I watched that.

24
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:46.560
I watched that with Kevin O'Neill in
a hotel room in Corvallis getting ready

25
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.000
to play Oregon State. It had
to be January something, eighty seven,

26
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.640
eighty eighty January. It was January
eighty seven, Yeah, because that was

27
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.400
January seventh, I think it was
eighty seven or eighty eight. I don't

28
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.359
think it would have been eighty seven
because I was a senior in college.

29
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.480
Yeah, yeah, no, I
remember that. I remember that game very

30
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.239
well because I was in Tempe.
I was in Albuquerque watching the game over

31
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.120
break. No, okay, so
jed, we'll talk about that more,

32
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.439
but nothing really sure. The only
thing of other substance, he said.

33
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:19.400
And it's funny because the answers weren't
like as extended as we get. You

34
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.599
know, when we talked to him
and he was asked a really good question

35
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.599
about you know, playing a bowl
game in Texas, you know that's sort

36
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.280
of going to be have to become
a recruiting base for Arizona and whether he

37
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:35.240
saw this as a sort of an
opening the door to that, and he

38
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:37.120
said, yeah, that you know, they're going into the Big Twelve.

39
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.120
They got you know, four teams
that they're going to be playing that are

40
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:47.159
in Texas, UH with with Baylor, Texas Tech, UH Houston and TCU,

41
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:50.879
And so he thought, yeah,
you know, this is a good

42
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.639
a good way for us to kind
of come and you know, start to

43
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.000
get people to know us, and
you know, we plan to use it

44
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.439
in that way. So that was
really it. You know, both coaches

45
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.520
talked about how great the other team
is and and that type of stuff.

46
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.919
So that was really really the gist
of the of the press It was about

47
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.360
a twenty minute press conference, and
so that was what he guess and Tommy

48
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.400
Tommy, you talked a lot.
Obviously they play Wisconsin. So I'm gonna

49
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.400
I'm gonna throw this at you because
Bruce probably Bruce and I probably write the

50
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.240
same story given that we covered the
team back when Sean was here and Lute

51
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.280
was here. Uh so let's I'm
gonna throw. No. No, I'm

52
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.000
not gonna throw any teams that you
I don't want to buy a shoe.

53
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:38.280
Arizona's most hated teams outside the conference. No, no, altogether, altogether.

54
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.000
Give me the top four. I
think you start with EU c l

55
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.199
A Okay, and I don't there's
no right or wrong answer, right.

56
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.800
I think you start with U C
l A. I think Oregon has become

57
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.080
one of those I don't think it's
a SU because they beat as like a

58
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.039
drum and so that people don't even
think about them. And then I think

59
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.599
you go to a team like Duke
and then probably Wisconsin Oregon. You know

60
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.560
that's a that's a I would never
never I think. I think. I

61
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:12.319
think. I think Arizona fan hates
that Oregon has gotten all this notoriety like

62
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.240
they're really good, they did get
to a Final four, and that they

63
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.720
feel like it's all because they got
all this money from UH from UH Nike,

64
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:24.279
right, and so they kind of
feel like they haven't earned it and

65
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.879
they just want to kick their asses
all the time. See I don't I

66
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.800
don't see that. But that's fine, that's your missed. So you mentioned

67
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.279
Duke. I think maybe it's gonna
be Duke Bruce, and we were kind

68
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.519
of just astually. Duke, you
said, who's your third one? I

69
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.000
had you c l you see number
one? You selling number one? That's

70
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:45.600
without question, Duke, maybe too. The fourth one was who fourth?

71
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:47.519
Oh? You know not? Well, okay, if you can say Illinois,

72
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.000
that doesn't I was gonna say youn
LB back in the day, but

73
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.439
back in our day, yes,
in fact, that might have been number

74
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.560
one or two or you know they
were right up there with U c l

75
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.800
A back in the Lady and going
to and and you know U n l

76
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.600
V, you know, eliminated one
of the all time favorite teams. H

77
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.560
No, okay, So who's your
fourth one? I had? I had

78
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.839
you c l A uh Oregon in
Wiscon. Yeah, No, I think

79
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.279
that's the Oregon one. I'll argue
with you, but I get it.

80
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.079
Let me move Wisconsin kind of ahead
of Oregon because of those two games.

81
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.000
But then you got, you know, in in that first bat you got

82
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.279
you got you know, you got
Oregon. You've got uh U n l

83
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.720
V. Only the people like us
would know around and the hatred between loot

84
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.240
and and and Tarkanian before that,
I got settled. Yeah, no question,

85
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:42.199
okay. So so I asked,
I asked Tommy if he was aware

86
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.279
of the history, and he says, yeah, okay, yeah, but

87
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.519
not really, you know, blah
blah blah. And I did mention the

88
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.879
history beyond the short time and and
he didn't know the shot time because Arizona

89
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.959
played Wisconsin in two thousand, if
you remember, and he got beat.

90
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.720
They got beat number one as a
number overall seed in that great Wisconsin was

91
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.560
an eights right, and they went
to the final four eventually, but Tony

92
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:09.360
Bennett was the coach, the dad
of Bennett, and so people forget about

93
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.240
that. That was twenty three years
ago, and that kind of started because

94
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.519
it was a It was a heck
of a game in the fifties slowed Arizona

95
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.920
down. Lorden Woods got had been
hurt in her with his back issues,

96
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.759
so no one and he didn't he
didn't remember that because he didn't know that,

97
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:26.439
but obviously the Shawn time it was
very well documated staying yeah, because

98
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.839
you know, I mean, and
you know, think of where Arizona might

99
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.160
be still to be the coach,
right had he got into one of those

100
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.240
final four, either one of those
or the one when they beat Duke in

101
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:41.519
twenty eleven. Well, yeah,
no doubt, but I think and again

102
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.399
it goes back to what I said
yesterday. I just you know, Arizona

103
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.199
fan has got to realize that this
is going to make him feel better about

104
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.319
those two lots if they be Wisconsin
down here. Yeah, no question,

105
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.480
I want to probably write that story. I probably have to mention that just

106
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.160
to give him some context. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Can I throw

107
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.959
something out you guys real quick?
What did you know the all time record

108
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:02.959
between the Badgers and the wildcout I
think Wisconsin has them, they do,

109
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.279
but what's the record? It's not
big five to five to four something that

110
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.680
it couldn't be that many five and
two, five and two and two and

111
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.360
their four and one since two thousand. Yeah, no, there was a

112
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.040
Wisconsin Zona because of the style of
play, style of play, and again,

113
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.680
Arizona doesn't play well as an underdog, you know, as a favorite.

114
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.319
And Wisconsin. I think that in
fourteen fourteen, Arizona had to be

115
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:29.560
a favorite. In fifteen they was
probably even, yeah, because there was

116
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.720
almost a one or two on and
but the Wisconsin games are not are not

117
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.000
are not to upsets because Wisconsin was
fantastic, were really good. Well,

118
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.680
they're the ones that beat that undefeated
team in the final four, right right,

119
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:47.959
yeah, Sam Decker, and I
knew I had the Sam half of

120
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.240
that. I remember in the in
the first the first time they played Wisconsin

121
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:55.720
was Sam Decker who killed them.
No, no, he was the second

122
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.560
one and the second one, second
one, Cominskin the first one. Okay,

123
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.800
I remember those two guys in those
two games, no question. In

124
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.120
fact, when when in Sean's departure, call him, I mentioned those two

125
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:11.720
games and Sam was Sam was going
off and crazy and he was throwing behind

126
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.560
uside down and made his faces and
he looked at Sam like, what can

127
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.680
we do? We can't we can't
stop him, we can't do anything about

128
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.800
it. And I mentioned that face
how he looked like, you know,

129
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.040
my dog had just died. Yeah, and a lot of fans dogs that

130
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.759
it was upset. Well, if
you remember after he lost that game,

131
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:35.440
I think he was that game or
that that that weekend, he came back

132
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.919
and he says, if you don't
like what we're doing, becoming issue fans?

133
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.879
It was he went on Twitter and
he was best and he says,

134
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.799
if you guys, because he felt
that he don't remember that he felt that

135
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.240
heat, if you guys don't like
what we're doing, you guys don't have

136
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.240
to be fans. Oh I do, I do remember that, And yes,

137
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.200
never mind, I do, I
do remember, because you rarely be

138
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.759
an how we're going about things,
that's right. But because he'd been to

139
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.440
three Elite eights and what five years
right then, he just couldn't get over

140
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.039
that. Over the ye. So
Wisconsin comes to town and they're pretty good.

141
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.080
They're pretty good, well we you
know, looking up their schedule.

142
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.600
I mean, I think I think
people start, what do you tell me?

143
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.759
Had said you had just said you
saw on Twitter obviously that this is

144
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.679
the best team that Oh yeah,
Tommy said this is the best team they

145
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.000
faced this year, which I think
there was a there was some stuff in

146
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.879
the face of of Duke of Michigan
State. But then you look at it

147
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:35.000
and and well Wisconsin got off to
a one and two start. They played,

148
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.000
uh, they lost to Tennessee and
they lost to Providence, and probably

149
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.600
the Tennessee game. Okay, Tennessee
is ranked ninth, but then you lose

150
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.240
a Providence and they're one and two
and you're kind of like, okay,

151
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.759
they're not going to be that good. Well, they reeled off five straight

152
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.360
wins since then, including number twenty
four Virginia, Number nine Marquette on Saturday.

153
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.279
I mean, number two Marquette on
Saturday. Who was you know,

154
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.440
just they're the ones that had beaten
Purdue and they're the reason why Arizona was

155
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.039
number one, right, and then
they knocked off the Big Ten. Started

156
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.840
their conference season night before last,
and they be in Michigan State at Michigan

157
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:11.960
State. So they're coming in,
you know, on a stretch of five

158
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.399
wins in a row, and the
last two were pretty impressive. Sure,

159
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.799
the one thing that Arizona has it's
here. It's said to be a sold

160
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.200
out, sold out game, but
aren't. Most of my almost were.

161
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.360
I guess they're not because of the
there's tickets available. Maybe because well it's

162
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.039
probably you're you're you're right, and
there's tickets available, there's next spectation like

163
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.919
last the last game, the game
on Saturday. They they reported that the

164
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.039
attendance of the salad there were some
empty seats and there were a bunch of

165
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.639
them, a bunch particularly up in
the upper deck and in the zone a

166
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.679
zoo. So should be a good
game. It should be fun. I

167
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.200
think, I you know, I
think the Arizona fans will come. We'll

168
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.960
make it get that sort of buzz
feeling that we talked about the one fifteen

169
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.279
games with the middle of the afternoon. It's on esp IN and and I

170
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.720
think it's gonna be uh, you
know something where you know the fans will

171
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.840
be a little more into this.
Yes, and you'd like to think that

172
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.000
the students will will fill up their
their piece of it. It's their last

173
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.080
game before they go to before they
go to break, and their tickets start

174
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.039
getting sold to the general club.
Right, Okay, so that'll be fun.

175
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.360
We got the jet thing covered.
That's gonna happen. What's it a

176
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:30.080

00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:39.879

183
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.200

him in the day he got hired.

187
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.480
I don't even remember that. I
don't remember that it was a It was

188
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.759
a Zoom press conference. You had
come on Zoom was part of my pajamas,

189
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.240
and you know, I was working
a basketball game and it must have

190
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.240
been a men's game. But I'm
sitting there with my iPad on trying to

191
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.120
trying to hear it while also trying
to do stats in the game. I'm

192
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:31.559
like, I wanted to find out
who the hell was this guy that they

193
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:35.720
hired that none of us had ever
heard. Well, this guy that has

194
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.440
broughttom to this. Yeah, to
the point where right now again, you

199
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.600

200
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.159
had some business to have been for
a while, I had, so I

201
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.320
did. I didn't. I didn't
wear my Arizona gear to my meeting this

202
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.399
morning, but I do have a
quarter zip in the card. I'll have

203
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:09.639
some rat on tonight at the game. But it's an Arizona women taking on

205
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.840
game next week. They've got Texas
coming down. Oh yeah, so they

206
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.559
just picked the crap out of Long
Beach State. I didn't realize they were

207
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.519
pretty good. Yeah, Texas been
pretty good. Number five. Yeah,

208
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.240
so they got Texas coming in on
Wednesday. So on Tuesday, we're gonna

209
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.679

211
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.279
o'clock A McHale. That should be
a good one. And today before we

212
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.440
forget, we have Doug Faff coming
in about five minutes talking about the nineteen

213
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.039
eighty nine game Oklahoma, what he
remembers. Obviously he was one of the

214
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.279
stars back then, stars on a
six point game. And then we're gonna

215
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.120
get a hold of, hopefully today, Glenn Parker after missing him yesterday.

216
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:00.799
So we'll have a lot of Oklahoma
stuff reminiscing going back before. Before we

217
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.440
leave this, Texas is tenant.
Oh yeah, no, they're running number

218
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.000
five. You remember just three four
years ago Arizona went to Texas and one

219
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.080
and then you got to realize,
oh, these guys can be really good.

220
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:11.840
I think. Wasn't that the final
four year Yeah? I think so,

221
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.919
I think so so yeah, yeah, no, Look how the fortunes

222
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.879
are turned. Man. They they
be long beach stayed by forty four.

223
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.000
Yeah, and I know that coach
bon Messini was out there because there was

224
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:28.480
a they beat They beat Yukon.
Oh yeah, yeah, the Yukon is

225
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.440
not the same team that used to
be. They beat as U by forty

226
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:35.039
two. You contact some injury troubles
the last couple of years that one guard

227
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.200
able to get record on the court. At the same time, I don't

228
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.360
think, yeah, all right,
Uh okay, We're gonna uh try and

229
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.159
get ahold of Glenn Parker. Hopefully
he's ready for us. Well, excuse

230
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.399
me, Doug Faff, I was
looking at yesterday's schedule. Doug Faff coming

231
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.639
up and we'll reminisce about that Oklahoma
game where he hit the game winner.

phone, we have Doug Fat, one

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.079
of the many heroes of p nineteen
eighty nine, a win over Oklahoma.

312
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.079
Doug, how are you? I'm
doing great. Steve and Jay, how

313
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.920
you guys doing. We're doing fine, doing fine. Thirty five years ago?

314
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.920
How many in the in the thirty
five years, how many times have

315
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:57.519
you seen the highlight of your kick? You know, I think I've seen

316
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:03.079
it more in the last seventy two
hours than I've seen in the previous thirty

317
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.039
five years, to be honest with
yet. So I'm pretty happy that he

318
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.599
still basically Arizona and Oklahoma playing in
the Alamo Bowl, because the video has

319
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.960
resurfaced and it's been a long time
since I've seen it. Did you did

320
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:19.279
you ever go up to Bruce Larson
and say, what the hell are you

321
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.759
saying? Missed it? You know, because you had it? And he

322
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:27.279
even waited a little bit, and
then he goes, missed it? Well,

323
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:33.000
Jay, I was brought up to
respect your elders, so Bruce is

324
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.720
a legend. I didn't want to
say anything, but yeah, it is

325
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:38.240
kind of you know. I tend
to kind of put it on mute so

326
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.599
that way it doesn't come across well. To his credit, glug, God

327
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:47.720
bless him, he's now pasted.
It barely cleared, right, It barely

328
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:52.000
cleared, it did. And what
I didn't know at the time, guys,

329
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.119
was I had a groin injury.
The entire senior season, and as

330
00:21:56.200 --> 00:22:00.519
the game wore on, I was
lose more and more strength in my leg

331
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.960
because it just wasn't healthy. And
then you're you're kicking into the net to

332
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.079
get warmed up. And I didn't
realize that. You know. Luckily that

333
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.119
was like the third or fourth game
of the season, and so you know,

334
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.720
if it's you're right, if it
would have been forty seven yards,

335
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.640
I don't think I would have had
it. Well, well, I will

336
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.480
say, and with all due respect, you know, because I was you

337
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:23.920
know, I was on the sideline, you know, watching the kick,

338
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.279
and when you hit it, it
was leaking oil pretty quickly, but it

339
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:32.160
did. It looked good to me
when you hit you know, when you

340
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:34.079
went it, just I knew it
was going to be close. Yeah,

341
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.079
well I didn't know that. You
know, in pregame I could kick from

342
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:42.119
fifty five easy, but I didn't
realize three and a half four hours later,

343
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:48.240
right, you know, that was
about my my bax. So thankfully

344
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.759
the offense got it to be only
a forty yard field goal, because yeah,

345
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.799
if it was a forty six or
forty seven, I think we'd have

346
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:57.240
a different outcome, right, Yeah, no, And those are the good

347
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.440
old days. Man, we both
over you. I covered you for the

348
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.640
Citizen and Jay for the Star.
What do you what was the after effects?

349
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:08.200
A great celebration outside of Dick Toomy
trying to get you guys off the

350
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.680
field so you wouldn't get a penalty. But how was life for you after?

351
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:19.039
It was awesome the first time to
experience, obviously, the the stadium

352
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:23.559
being rushed by the entire you know, student body and all the season ticket

353
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:30.359
holders and everybody attending the game.
I remember somebody came from the locker room

354
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.880
to come grab me because I was
I was still being carried throughout the field

355
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:37.400
and coach told me, you know, our locker room for games used to

356
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:42.720
be underneath the you know, the
the what the south side hand. Yeah,

357
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.920
he was trying to address the team
and he's like, you know,

358
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.079
where's Doug. Where's Doug? Where's
Doug? So I kind of got roped

359
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.279
into the locker room after being on
the shield, I guess for ten minutes.

360
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.640
But it was it was a great
feeling, great win for the program,

361
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:00.720
and obviously it was a great win
by everybody in our team. I

362
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:06.599
mean our defense was phenomenal that night, only giving up three points to Oklahoma.

363
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.759
It was the top five team in
the country, and obviously our offense

364
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:14.680
did what we had to do to
get us a couple couple of field goals.

365
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.359
You know how going through that game, you know it says the final

366
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:19.759
was six three, off was three
three all the way through. But at

367
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:22.839
some point in the game you had
to start thinking, I'm gonna need I'm

368
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.960
gonna need to kick a game winner, you know, to win this thing.

369
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.960
And you know when did you when
did you kind of start to think

370
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.799
that? And then how did you
get ready for that? You know,

371
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.519
Jay, honestly, I go into
every game thinking that's what's going to have

372
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.920
to happen, just because as a
kicker, it's it's so much mental that

373
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.079
everybody that you know plays soccer can
kick a ball, but what can you

374
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:52.519
do to kick a two two uprights
with you know, potentially all the pressure

375
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:56.079
on you. So I got to
go into every game thinking that's going to

376
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.400
be the outcome. And so by
doing that, when it does happen,

377
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.039
you know, I've practiced it over
and over in my mind so many times

378
00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:07.799
that it's all it is to me
is just go out there and do the

379
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:12.839
same kick I do one hundred times
every week. So you know, that's

380
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:17.359
that's how I approached every game.
It's funny because I was just going to

381
00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:19.079
ask you and I don't know if
you remember your lead or your story chain,

382
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.759
are you remembering very vividly? And
it had something to do with that

383
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.319
where it was like all Doug Doug
Faff had to do was imagine, imagine,

384
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.960
imagine, imagine that the ball was
going to go through that. That's

385
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.759
what you do, you think about
the ball going through every time? One

386
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.359
hundred percent. I mean, I
mean, if if you look back and

387
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.279
if there were some old photos Mike
cow used to have one hundred percent on

388
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.200
it, and that was my mantra. That's what my expectation was, was

389
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:49.759
that I was going to be one
hundred percent every game. And the visualization

390
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:56.799
was really something that I focused on. And we'd go to the stadium Friday

391
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.240
night before we go to the hotel
and in the dark, my snapper,

392
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.519
my holder and myself would go twenty
five different places on the field and do

393
00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:11.839
imaginary kicks without a ball. And
again it was all the mental preparation.

394
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:15.640
And in my senior year, I
brought my holder and my kicker and my

395
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:21.000
snapper out there as well, so
Ken mcpeters and John Nice, they'd come

396
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:22.480
out there with me for a half
hour before we'd hop on the bus and

397
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.160
go to the hotel. Now,
correct me if I'm wrong. That was

398
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:27.480
the first year that you had to
kick without a tea, was it not?

399
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.559
Or is it the year before?
No, you're absolutely right. Yeah,

400
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:34.880
my junior year we had the tea, and then h my senior year

401
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.000
we were they took the tea away
made us kick off the ground. So

402
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:44.000
uh, you know, it just
like golf a little easier. It's a

403
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.160
little easier to hit the ball on
the tee than off the ground. But

404
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:51.319
it just took some practice and after
a while it was no big, no

405
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:55.680
big difference. How hard was that
adjustment though? The first week, Jay

406
00:26:55.960 --> 00:27:00.640
it was it was it was rough. I remember luck They told us after

407
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:04.200
my junior season, so we had
all spring to practice it. But I

408
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:10.519
think the first time I went out
and practiced it, I would have been

409
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.200
in a full team. I was
just I was just kicking with some kickers

410
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:17.559
and stuff. I think I probably
would have hit their backs or their butt

411
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:22.640
because I'd probably shanked like four out
of fifteen that wouldn't have even got past

412
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.680
the line of scrimmage as far as
height. So it took about you know,

413
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:33.039
three or four practice sessions to kind
of just again change my muscle memory

414
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:36.319
on my swing and kicked the ball
a little bit lower. And then after

415
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:41.400
that, I mean, honestly,
I don't even think it affected the distance

416
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.119
you know on my kicks going off
the ground and the purse off the tea.

417
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.720
I mean, you just get used
to it. So Jay and I

418
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.559
talk about this every now, every
now and again, especially this week.

419
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.640
You did you win this game coming
off a horrible game at Texas Tech.

420
00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:59.559
James Gray made you guys look bad
and you're thinking, you go, you're

421
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:02.440
coming home to Oklahoma. It's his
own. No, this is not going

422
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.599
to be good having what we saw
at Texas Tech. How was that week?

423
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.160
You know? We we we played
Oklahoma the year before in Norman,

424
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.680
and if you remember that game,
even though the score said it was twenty

425
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:21.480
eight ten, personally, I think
we we have physical Oklahoma. We were

426
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:23.640
in the game. We just made
a couple you know, poor plays that

427
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.880
were you know, big swings.
You know, we threw a pick six

428
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.359
when we had you know, goal
to go. So that was a fourteen

429
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.200
point swing. I missed the field
goal I should have never missed. So

430
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:38.039
there's three more points. And so
you know, two plays. I mean,

431
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.160
now we're talking. It's a toss
up game. And so we we

432
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.559
we had some confidence that it's like, look, you know, we we're

433
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.599
as good as they are. We
will beat them, you know. And

434
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.559
so I think maybe the loss of
Texas Tech, I think we overlooked them

435
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:59.519
in all candidness because the year before
they lost all their stars Billy, Joe

436
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:02.599
Tolliver, a couple of receivers that
played in the NFL, and I think

437
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.039
we just overlooked them because they weren't
supposed to be that good. But we

438
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.079
kind of introduced James Gray to the
to the world. I think you ran

439
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.480
for one hundred and eighty against us, but it was too changing. It

440
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.519
was it was too and change.
Yeah, I think you still a lot,

441
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.880
you still run, but yeah,
yeah, you had a son.

442
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:29.480
Actually that was a phenomenal running back
in college too at UT. But I

443
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.720
think it just woke us up and
got us even more focused for the Oklahoma

444
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.279
game. So, you know,
by no means did we want to lose

445
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.519
Texas Tech. But you know,
maybe there was a silver lining from from

446
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:42.279
that loss when you went to Oklahoma
the year before, because you know,

447
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:45.640
you know, back in the day
Arizona didn't get a chance to play you

448
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:49.440
know, the Oklahomas in Ohio State's
and all those. Was there any sort

449
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:53.119
of a feeling of a mystique with
these guys going to play them the first

450
00:29:53.200 --> 00:29:56.960
time? Uh? You know,
you guys were going to their place,

451
00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:00.720
you know, their stadium, their
legendary stadium, which was kind of rickety,

452
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:03.319
you know, Steve and I remember, but you know when the thought

453
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:07.119
of playing Oklahoma going in then and
then you know you had already seen him,

454
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.000
so now you had him here and
you felt more confident about it.

455
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.880
But what was it like going into
the first game? You know, you're

456
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:18.480
right they it was Barry Switzers last
year that he coasted Oklahoma and they were

457
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:26.119
still dominant, and you know,
I think you had respect for Oklahoma.

458
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.400
I don't think we feared him though, And that's why when we went out

459
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:32.640
there and played, I mean we
actually got the ball the opening drive.

460
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:34.960
You know, I was forcunate enough
to make make that field goal. So

461
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:40.119
we had a three to nothing lead, and then if you remember Charles Thompson

462
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:42.240
was was their quarterback. We knocked
him out of the game in the first

463
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:47.559
half, and then I think they
brought to Meal Holloway that was kind of

464
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:51.960
overcoming an injury back in the game, and then they brought Thompson back in

465
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:53.599
and then we knocked him out again, and you know, he had to

466
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:59.680
leave via the ambulance. So we
knew right then and there that wait a

467
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.200
second, weren't just as good as
these guys. They just got, you

468
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.319
know, maybe a better reputation than
we do. So you know, yeah,

469
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:12.279
it was it was. It was. We respected them, but we

470
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:17.519
didn't fear them. It's funny you
bring up those names because about three or

471
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:22.279
four years later, in ninety three
ninety four, I got the book The

472
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.839
Life and Crimes of Oklahoma Football.
I think Halloway is one that wrote the

473
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:29.519
book because he was in trouble with
the law. I think, well,

474
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.079
Charles Thompson was the one that was
in real big trouble, okay, so

475
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.400
maybe that was who wrote it.
It was unbelievable. I mean, today

476
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:38.599
it's kind of like commonplace, but
back then, it was like, holy

477
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:42.799
crap, these guys are what are
they doing? Yeah, and that's the

478
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:47.000
thing. I mean, they were
always they were almost like the Miami Hurricanes

479
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:49.680
of the late eighties and nineties.
Before there was the Miami Hurricanes, and

480
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:55.160
so I think Miami took it to
maybe a new level. But yeah,

481
00:31:55.200 --> 00:32:00.880
they they definitely had some some characters
and some stories and and they had a

482
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:06.440
lot of talent. But but yeah, we just we enjoyed the challenge because,

483
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:07.519
like you said earlier, we didn't
get a chance to play some of

484
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:12.920
those teams. I mean, that's
team in UCLA and Washington were dominant teams,

485
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.640
and so you know, we would
play against what we thought were some

486
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.480
of the best teams in the country. But you know, there's always that

487
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:23.000
West Coast bias I think in the
media, so you know, we wouldn't

488
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:27.039
get you know, I don't think
those teams would get the credit that they

489
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:32.279
probably deserved nationally, like teams like
Nebraska or Oklahoma or Michigan Ohio State get

490
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:36.640
So let me ask you. I
think I haven't talked to you in a

491
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.519
little bit, but I think you're
in Phoenix now, but you were in

492
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.200
Dallas for a long time, right
or is that bro? No, you're

493
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.200
correct, I live in Chandler,
right, now for the last six years,

494
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:53.240
but twenty years prior to that.
Our family, I mean we lived

495
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:58.279
in a suburb of Dallas and pretty
much our three kids were all raised out

496
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.319
there in Dallas. Let me go
to the question, so you lived,

497
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:07.440
you lived that type of football obviously
in that conference. What what is Arizona

498
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:12.799
fans or Arizona going to have to
deal with in that new conference. Yeah,

499
00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:16.160
I think it's going to change a
little bit, just with the defection

500
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:22.680
of UT and OU going to the
SEC. But it's it's different. I

501
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:28.359
mean tailgating in the West Coast and
what the fans do on game day,

502
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:34.160
I mean just just times that by
ten and that gives you a perspective of

503
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.759
what happens on game day. I
mean they'll tailgate starting Friday, and you

504
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:45.000
know those campuses that they allow them
to tailgate for thirty six hours. So

505
00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:52.559
the fan base is just rabid fans. They're crazy. It doesn't matter if

506
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:55.400
your records two and nine or nine
and two. They're going to support you

507
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.920
regardless, but they definitely don't keep
your around if if your records to and

508
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:06.000
I you know, so, uh, it'll be fun. It'll be some

509
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.559
new schools. I think you know, for u of a, it'll be

510
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:14.639
it'll be great for all sports.
But you know, I'm I'm a I'm

511
00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:19.280
kind of a history guy. I'm
going to miss the pack R and Pac

512
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.000
twelve not being there anymore. You
know, I'm not a big fan of

513
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.920
kind of the the team realignment that
we're having in college nowadays. I was

514
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:29.920
going to ask you that, so
you've answered that. But you know,

515
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:32.599
the thing that I've been saying is
that you know, with with you know,

516
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:37.440
USC and Washington and Oregon out of
the way and then going to the

517
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.679
Big twelve with no Oklahoma and no
Texas, that are's on a sort of

518
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:45.679
in a position where it can actually
possibly compete year in, year out.

519
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:49.840
Uh, what are your thoughts on
that? No, I agree with you.

520
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:53.320
I think you know, the trajectory
that you know, the coach coaching

521
00:34:53.360 --> 00:34:58.599
staff has them on right now is
fantastic. I mean, I think dead

522
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.960
Fish and his staff is has exceeded
all expectations, at least of mine and

523
00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:07.239
I'm sure almost everybody else. And
if they continue, you know, to

524
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:13.280
keep getting better, there's no reason
why they can't step right into the Big

525
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.920
twelve next year and the you know, Big twelve champions in football. I

526
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:20.360
think they have a great shout to
do it obviously in basketball, and then

527
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.360
you know, baseball is going to
be fun too because those baseball programs out

528
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:28.760
there are phenomenal as well. So
you know, I'm looking forward to it.

529
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:32.360
I'm looking forward to going to some
universities that maybe I haven't been to.

530
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:38.880
But yeah, I just you know, nil, that's a whole nother

531
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.119
discussion point too. I mean that
could be the wild card every year.

532
00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:49.800
So keeping guys or losing guys.
You know, your team can change pretty

533
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.400
quickly. Sorry to tell you,
Doug, you were born thirty five years

534
00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:58.239
too early. Yeah, I feel
that too, Steve. I think all

535
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.280
the things that we did when I
was in college, you know, giving

536
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:07.639
back to the community, speaking to
schools and going to you know, facilities

537
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:09.960
just to hopefully brighten somebody's day up. You know, we did that just

538
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:14.960
because we wanted to pour back into
the community. Now these now they they

539
00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.000
get paid to do that stuff.
So uh and they get paid to play

540
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:22.559
on Saturday. So yeah, you
know, I'm not crying over any spilled

541
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.360
milk. I enjoyed my time there, you know, obviously, met my

542
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.119
wife there, you know, so, I mean, the memories are phenomenal

543
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:34.880
both football wives as well as just
academically and personally. Right, right,

544
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:36.920
right, you're doing well. You're
doing well, Doug. I know that.

545
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.719
Okay, thank you, Doug,
appreciated, Doug. Thanks guys,

546
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:45.639
all right, Mary Christmins, Doug
fat back in the day. One of

547
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:46.920
the good guys. Yeah, one
of the good guys. He's back here.

548
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:51.639
His son played. Did you know
any play something played for some other

549
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:54.760
coach. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, something for a little while.

550
00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:59.360
I remember all that. We went
through that a little bit last time.

551
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:00.760
We had. All right, let's
take our break. When you come back,

eighty nine, and we'll get his perspective.

era in my new book, Lessons from

559
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:31.719

through the eyes of twenty five former players,

560
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:36.159
coaches, and friends to give insight
to the coach and the man who

561
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:38.760
led them, competed against them,
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for

562

601
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:36.639
guys want to call in, please
do five two oh four one six seventy

602
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:39.079
four forty h Somebody said you didn't
want to call in and talk to us

603
00:40:39.079 --> 00:40:43.079
about something about Oklahoma. All right, So that'll happen soon, So keep

604
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.280
an eye on that. I'm just
I've just been admiring my writing because I've

605
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:49.519
got the clip from that game here
in front of me. And that doesn't

606
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.039
shock you, don't, not in
the slightest bit, not one iota.

607
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.599
It just you know, it's a
it's a story that you know you have

608
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:58.800
to write it. During the game, you got, you cap it off

609
00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:02.079
at the end. I'm shocked that
you got out of the business. You

610
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:06.599
know. I'm kind of getting a
little misty right here real thinking about that

611
00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:09.360
night. I just remember it was
hot, it was a good game.

612
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:12.480
You want no fun, think part
of the fun thing about this. I

613
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:15.079
had spent that day Earlier in the
day, we went down to the Gallas

614
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:19.519
and just went to do some shopping
and stuff like that. Came back,

615
00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.679
there was a time to get to
get to the game. It was about

616
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.840
six o'clock, seven o'clock. I
didn't feel very good that night. Oh

617
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:29.159
because you were in no Gallas.
Because we've been no Gallas. So maybe

618
00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:34.119
that's what makes the story go.
You were kind of yeah inspired sixty three

619
00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.519
fifty thousand, nine thirty one.
Yeah, it was. It was pretty

620
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.400
big. I remember there's a lot
of people there. Yeah, because you're

621
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:42.599
not going to see Oklahoma, you're
not gonna see the clock. Yeah.

622
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.679
They weren't here. They've never been
back. Yeah. Yeah, so this

623
00:41:45.840 --> 00:41:49.519
is this is pretty cool, you
know, sitting here painting the picture for

624
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:54.599
the for the reader. Give me
some tissue over the CRUs I was just

625
00:41:54.880 --> 00:41:59.599
well, we were saying, I
really should have apologized to Doug because he

626
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:02.440
kicks the game winner. And then
Glenn Parker was in my lead. I

627
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:05.679
was gonna say, you buried the
lead. I did it. Did it

628
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:07.719
took it took It took four paragraphs
to get to the fact that Doug was

629
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:12.960
winning kick to Lenny Field. If
I'm a professor, you're getting a C

630
00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:16.719
on that, you know. But
Glenn was a great quote and he was

631
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:20.800
the whole time. Remember the first
because we met him the year before and

632
00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:23.480
like who is it? And he
remember he looked like a biker, like

633
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:27.840
a Hell's Angels guy. Then it
turns out he was some softy who had

634
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.000
been hanging out on the beach and
didn't even want to play for him.

635
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:37.000
No, so it was him the
guys you remember him, John Fina Quotables.

636
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:40.519
Uh, Singleton's the Singletons, Well, yeah, Singletons. Donny I

637
00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:46.840
think Donny Salem was out there.
God because very much, so very much.

638
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:50.639
That was a scary dude. He's
still he's in Poenis. He's a

639
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:53.039
teacher, big dude, He's not
as big as he was. He was

640
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:57.920
a scary scary dude. Let's take
this call. Hi, you're on the

641
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:01.199
air and I on the ball.
How you doing? Jay Good? Who's

642
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:06.719
that? This is Ricky rick?
How were you So you texted me and

643
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:12.000
you were going to say something.
Yeah, that that game, it was

644
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.719
just I remember the game vividly because
I shut down our patio furniture store a

645
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:20.000
couple hours early, and I said, we're going to the football game.

646
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:22.119
So I called my wife at the
time and I said, let's just go

647
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:27.039
to the game. So we show
up and they only have tickets left in

648
00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.559
the red section. So we get
into the red section and all of a

649
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:38.280
sudden, I'm looking around and we're
in the middle of Oklahoma fans. Okay,

650
00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:43.800
that's the first So we're about twenty
rows up and the row immediately in

651
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:47.199
front and two seats over is Berry
Switzer. Yep, he was at the

652
00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:52.679
game, and oh yeah, he
was at the game. And of course

653
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:55.000
Barbara looks around. She says,
I want one of those diamond rings.

654
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:59.079
I mean, I felt like we
were a diamond mine with all the golden

655
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:04.519
I means these ladies were wearing.
But of course the game was a heck

656
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.679
of a game. I think it
was like six nothing, not six to

657
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:13.599
three, and but very swifter.
And during the game, you know,

658
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:17.440
we chat a little bit, nothing, nothing important. But after the game

659
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:24.039
and after that field goal, he
turned around stuck his hand out. Great

660
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:31.159
football, come back to Oklahoma.
His Barber's sister lives in Moore, Oklahoma,

661
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:37.519
which is right around the corner of
university there. And but the fans

662
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:42.280
that was a first class, very
swift, was just first class gentlemen.

663
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:45.400
And the fans were cool, and
we all, you know, at it

664
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:50.880
up a little bit, and of
course I had to behave myself a little

665
00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:55.320
bit more than usual. But it
was what a football game, and it

666
00:44:55.599 --> 00:45:02.239
just it was just amazing to just
sit there mark all these Oklahoma fans and

667
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.239
we lived to tell about it.
Yeah, yeah, no, that's one

668
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:10.760
of the games you'll remember yeah,
oh yeah, yeah, ok thanks Rick.

669
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:15.119
All right, gentlemen, a good
day, Thank you, thanks for

670
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:16.159
the call. You know, it
is one of the ones that sticks out

671
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:17.800
for me, I know for you. I mean, you've governed you,

672
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:21.840
you covered basketball for so long.
I'll give you another one. I'll give

673
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.519
you another one because you were there
too that game, the Oregon game when

674
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:29.679
Musgrave got stuck at the one half
yard line by Daryl Lewis. I was

675
00:45:30.119 --> 00:45:32.519
okay, so that happened right in
front of me. Yeah, that gave

676
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:37.199
me chills because I was right there
on the corner. That game, the

677
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:43.320
Syracuse when Syracuse beat the crap out
of Arizona and Hawaii. Yeah. Well

678
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:45.920
yeah, we've talked about. You
see the U c l A game sticks

679
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:50.000
out to me over there, No, the one here where Eldred David al

680
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:53.400
Oh yeah yeah, what about the
USC game over there? There was only

681
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:59.599
one I Will Colliseum that was covered
nineteen ninety. That eighty nine was my

682
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:04.320
last Okay, okay, okay.
I got to see Arizona get the cap

683
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.039
kicked out of it firsthand by Rodney
p Oh. Yeah, you know,

684
00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:10.599
and then Aman came here. Aman
came here and beat the crap out of

685
00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:16.440
them once but you know it was
again. You know certain things that stick

686
00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:20.320
out, and from a football standpoint, this was. This was a huge

687
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:23.559
upset. Take this call another one
hired on the air and I on the

688
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:29.360
ball. How's it going today?
What's not much? Hey? I just

689
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.599
want to tell people that if you're
looking for a very good Christmas gift for

690
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:37.599
someone, for someone, hopefully a
man, whatever, get Stay's book.

691
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:43.599
Thank you? Are we Facebook friends? I'm just curious. No, I

692
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:45.760
don't do that well because well,
let me just say this, because I

693
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:47.760
did that today. I posted something. If you haven't picked up the book,

694
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:52.159
this would be a great easy I
get. It's a fabulous book.

695
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:54.400
Really, I mean, if you're
a CRU Arizona fan, or even if

696
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:58.559
you just want to know about the
lude Olsen times and what kind of a

697
00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.280
person he was and a coach she
was, it's a great book to read.

698
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:06.800
And it's it's it's not like it's
a real difficult to read it or

699
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:09.840
it drags. It does not drag
that you know, each chapter is is

700
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:14.440
different the whole time. Yeah,
no, thank you very much. I'm

701
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:15.639
glad you read it. It's an
easy read too, I take you about

702
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:19.159
well, Yes, put in the
put in the restroom, put in the

703
00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.719
bathroom in a chapter at a time. Yeah, yeah, it's easy.

704
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:24.400
Yeah, and and there's stuff you
know, you know, for Jade that

705
00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:29.519
would be like one day in the
bathroom pretty much. But thank you for

706
00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:31.559
the for thedorsement. Yeah, it
probably took you not too long. And

707
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:36.559
then every story is different because everybody
has a different feel of right, you

708
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:38.840
know. And it just wasn't about
basketball. It was it was nice to

709
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:44.400
see about him as a person,
right right as you got older, as

710
00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:46.159
you got older, as we all
know, uh, he became close friends

711
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.000
with all the players, because you
can't. You can't be a player a

712
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.760
friend of the players when you're the
coach. No, no, unfortunately,

713
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:58.039
fortunately you can't. But uh,
it's just nice to see the respect shown

714
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.960
by the players him, you know, years after the after they left,

715
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:06.599
and basically the lessons of life that
they learned from him. Right, let

716
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:07.599
me ask you just are curiousity,
I know, we have four minutes.

717
00:48:07.800 --> 00:48:19.360
What was the most rememberable chapter?
I like the Steve Kerwin mm hmm.

718
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.000
And I mean it was just so
many, It's so many of them that

719
00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:27.239
were really good. Did I like
the one where I came in and named

720
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:32.760
the other coach, oh Montgomery.
Yes, that was that was that was

721
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.199
terrific because you know they were you
know, they were rivals in the conference.

722
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.039
You know, when he was the
Stanford for a long time, you

723
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:42.519
know, it wasn't quite the same
when he went to Hell. Yeah,

724
00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:45.719
yeah, real question. You know, do you remember the the Todd Walsh

725
00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:47.159
one. He was the last one
in the book. Yes, he had

726
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.000
no money, He had zero money, and he went to he went to

727
00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:52.920
go become a manager. He had
to sit in line and blah blah blah.

728
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:57.239
And and now he turned into this
guy, uh you know, this

729
00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:00.519
broadcaster, and he thanks everything to
you who brought him in, brought you

730
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:04.000
know, you know, people don't
realize that, you know, Todd waltsh

731
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:07.079
is back here on Channel thirteen.
I think it was, yeah, you

732
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:10.159
know, back in the eighties,
right, and and he was really good.

733
00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:13.960
And you know I see him all
the time. We go to Phoenix

734
00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:15.639
a lot, and I see him
up, I see him on you know,

735
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:19.800
you hear the still on the radio, see him on TV. He's

736
00:49:19.880 --> 00:49:22.880
great, right right, yeah,
but you know he you know, he

737
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:25.079

great things, and everybody had great things

00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:28.039
to say about him. Yeah,
right, No, he's a good dude.

He's good dude. Thank you for

00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:49.519
if I could show a quick story. I think I may have said it

746
00:49:49.559 --> 00:49:53.320
already with Todd Walsh his story.
So he gets let go by. Remember

747
00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:57.840
he had a controversy with the Phoenix
Cardinals. He's bad mouth Midwell. So

748
00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.920
he lost his job and he needed
to get another job. And he's had

749
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.000
this name and he comes to Lou
and says, can you can you help

750
00:50:04.039 --> 00:50:06.360
me find a job? Yeah again, I'm gonna put you as a reference.

751
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:08.119
So he applied for Fox or I
can't remember what it was, just

752
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:13.119
whatever. So he applied for this
job and he went for an interview and

753
00:50:13.199 --> 00:50:16.599
the guy who interviewed said, could
you tell this guy lude Olsen to stop

754
00:50:16.679 --> 00:50:21.800
calling me? I think you're doing
pretty good. But he calls me all

755
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:27.840
the time, don't you that's too
funny. But you know Todd was that

756
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:29.880
you know, Todd was such a
likable guy. Yeah, right, you

757
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:31.559
wanted you know, I could see
how Lot would have just wanted, you

758
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:35.119
know, give him a hand.
Right. Luke got pissed at him for

759
00:50:35.239 --> 00:50:37.440
leaving, for leaving the program because
he went he went to a PENI right,

760
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:38.800
he says, why did you leave? He says, well, I

761
00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:42.519
had to go, you know,
I had to spread my wings. Yeah,

762
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:45.280
exactly, I should get to back
on. Yeah, he was good.

763
00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:51.599
Well there's it's the fox thing is
gone and Batlets is gone. Yeah,

764
00:50:52.079 --> 00:50:53.960
