So but 19 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.799 Oregon and Washington both said that they'll keep laying those guys. Good for them. 20 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:25.640 Yep. New Orleans Pro Bowl and All Pro defensive end Cam Jordan has 21 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.640 agreed on a two year extension worth up to twenty seven point five million dollars 22 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.239 um. So he's gonna be locked in with New Orleans the rest of his 23 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.680 career, all right, yep. Um. The NFL suspending running back Alvin 24 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.239 Kamara off for three games in his role in a fight in Las Vegas in 25 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.799 twenty twenty two. Wasn't that the that the Pro Bowl? Yeah? It 26 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.079 was the Pro Bowl. He got in the he got on a fistfight y 27 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.920 something. Yeah, even a few of the guys. Yeah yeah. So 28 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.480 he guys have spended three games and then they Colt cornerback Chris lemons Um also 29 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.959 was involved in the incidence. He's also getting suspended three games as well. 30 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.680 Yeah. Um. And then there are some more suspensions um. The Chiefs 31 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:12.800 d line d lineman Charles Menu has been suspended for six games for violating the 32 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.080 league's personal conduct policy and then a wide receiver from the Seahawks, Dwayne Eskridge, 33 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.879 is also being suspended six games for violating UM conduct Austin as well. 34 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.439 Yeah. Uh, the Bears, I'm signed two players today. Um. 35 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:34.080 They signed former Colts star pass rusher your neck Quay to a one year, 36 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.840 ten point five million dollars deal kind of help with them on the defense. 37 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:42.960 And they also signed a one year deal to veteran tight end I'm Mercedes Lewis 38 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.199 as well. Marcedes Lewis is still in the league. Yeah, it's going 39 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.439 to be his eighteenth season in the NFL. He's as a tight end man. 40 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:53.680 And then you take a beating at that position, you think so, 41 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.560 but I think a lot of tight ends are playing long careers, like you 42 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.800 know, Travis you know, oh the guy played a long time. Yeah, 43 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.639 the one and the one dude. Um uh, Jimmy Graham, He's 44 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.919 still around. A lot of these guys played like long careers. So you 45 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.360 think it is a very aggressive, you know position, but they played long 46 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.159 careers. Um, and that you're running back. Marlon Mack signed is signing 47 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.879 a one year contract with the Arizona Cardinals. So, um, Cardinals getting 48 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:31.800 something there? Was somebody tweeted out that all it said was Cardinals under four 49 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.840 and a half wins. Then it was a video of a play that they 50 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:42.400 ran in practice, and you know, it's a pass play quarterback and I 51 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.199 don't even know who the backup quarterback is. It's called McCoy throws a pass 52 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:53.280 and he hits the receiver in the back of the head. And they said 53 00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.520 and then it said, like take the under Yeah. Uh. Freege guard 54 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.680 frekkena Um has agreed to a one year deal with Charlotte Hornets UM. So 55 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:11.680 Harnet's getting another guard. Uh. The Los angel Lakers just signed Anthony Davis 56 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.319 to a three year, one hundred and sixty eight million dollars a MAX extension, 57 00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:20.360 so there'll be signing him through twenty twenty eight and the total um contract 58 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.000 is going to be worth up to two entred and seventy million dollars plus you 59 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.199 know, some exture, you know, signing bonus my name as well. 60 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.720 So is he worth it? Do you think he's worth it? Um? 61 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.000 Has he been worth that? Yeah? He has been worth it. Yeah. 62 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.920 He's one of the top three five defensive players in the entire NBA. 63 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:42.360 UM, he's an easy twenty ten like the times. Yeah, I mean 64 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:44.879 that kind of comes with it. I feel like, you know a lot 65 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.279 of guys in the league that are some of the best players, they're injury 66 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.000 prone. Honestly, they're going to go down the list. Kawhi Leonard injury 67 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.920 prone, George Chris Paul, you know Lebron Now you know a d um. 68 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.879 You know there are other guys, but he's too good of a player. 69 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.759 He's still I think he's turning thirty. Um, I think he's just 70 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.639 turned thirty. But so, you know, in his prime, really good 71 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.000 player, one of the best defensive players. I mean, Lebron only has 72 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.839 one year left, really, right, I mean they need someone to be 73 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:14.160 their centerpiece, and he just made sense for them to lock up eighty for 74 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.920 another in a couple of years. So all right, yeah, I believe 75 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.920 you, Okay, Um. The Cowboys signed their safety Malik Hooker to a 76 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:27.480 three year contract extension worth up to twenty four million dollars that has an eight 77 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.639 million dollars signing bonus um within it, so they have him locked up to 78 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.199 the twenty twenty six season, and they didn't they signed another defensive back to 79 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.120 luck in another guy. It sounded like they got the two guys that they 80 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.879 wanted again. Yeah, they got him, We got dis Yeah, so 81 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.480 I got him blocked up as well. Um. The Bengals also signed a 82 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.959 linebacker Logan Wilson to a four year extension with up to thirty seven point two 83 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.959 million dollars coin since he um, and he's going to be making over the 84 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.160 next two years eleven point two million dollars, so you know, continuing to 85 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.319 keep that court together far as long as possible before they have to pay Jamar 86 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:11.639 and Burrow. The next year, the Colts signed running back Kenyan Drake to 87 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.360 a one year deal. Um. So they lost some guys, so they 88 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:18.279 got in trying to plays on depth there. Um And yeah, that's all 89 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:23.279 I have for breaking news. All right. So we were at practice today 90 00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.800 and that this is breaking news, but this is kind of those breaking news 91 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.160 that we were both at practice. We actually didn't do it at all, 92 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.000 but Kenny was there. Kenny was doing stuff, and he was the same 93 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.800 old dude. A little slower but still the thing. Everything you said you 94 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.839 listen to, you hear him, and you know, it's funny because I 95 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.720 and maybe I'm making making too much of this, but I you know, 96 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:53.600 I was watching players react to him, and you felt like they were trying 97 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.000 to soak it in. You know. It just looked like that, like 98 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.279 they were looking at him like it was day one, right, it was 99 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.040 day one. No, wasn't day one, day three, but the pads 100 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.079 and stuff. Yeah, but I mean just felt you felt like he because 101 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.319 he was going he like he walked up to a couple of his hands are 102 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.879 moving and he's instructing, and they're like kind of okay, I you know, 103 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.000 I get it. The teaching that he's doing out there, which is 104 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.720 what he's so good at. Um, it's great to watch him, watch 105 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.439 him doing all that stuff. Yeah. Um, we have a couple more 106 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.920 minutes, so let's go a couple more clips from Oh we gotta call? 107 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.439 Yeah, no, oh ya, one more yeah. Yeah. The New 108 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:32.560 England Patriots just resigned Matthew Judean to a um new deal worth up to fourteen 109 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:39.600 million guaranteed. Um this uh isn't the years hasn't been finalized. Yeah, 110 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.480 I just just broke like a couple minutes ago. Um, but it's going 111 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.920 to be worth up to fourteen million guaranteed in twenty twenty three. But the 112 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.000 max um dollars. He's gonna be eighteen million UM for the fully calling full 113 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.279 contract. So he's got him locked up. So what are you gonna say, 114 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.519 Um, well, we got a couple more clips from Jeda. One 115 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.839 of the things that he talked about. And it's funny because we go, 116 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.920 we sit there at the press conference and we know what by the questions, 117 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.800 we know who who's doing a story on what a right? So apparently Justin 118 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.519 Spears is going about to do a story on the defensive line. But he 119 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.959 discussed the defensive line transformation and uh, you know, Jetfish talked about how 120 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.240 important that's been and you know what's going on with the with the d line 121 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.240 and so you know, he made he said some things that you and I 122 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.439 we don't think about when he comes to that kind of stuff. But here's 123 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.000 what he had to say about the defensive line. Yeah, well it's been 124 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.039 completely transformed in terms of the size of the player, in terms of what 125 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.399 we're looking for in the type of the player, we've been very we've been 126 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.039 very determined to get a certain player to play nos, a certain player to 127 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.720 play three, a certain pass rushing mentality and skill sets, and not just 128 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.320 take guys, and we've tried to. If you were to look at our 129 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.559 team, our goal. I heard Bill Parcels say at one time that if 130 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.080 you have a lot of different body types play in the same position, you 131 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.840 have a dog pound. Okay, that's not the idea. The idea is 132 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.639 not to have all sorts of different looking players. The ideas to have. 133 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.600 We want to have the six three, three hundred and thirty pound knows. 134 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.559 We want to have the six three six four, three hundred and ten pound 135 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.360 three technique that's a good athlete. We want to have the two hundred and 136 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.519 eighty pound two hundred and seventy five pound defensive end. We want to be 137 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:26.559 able to have guys that can line up on the tight end. So the 138 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.320 defensive line has completely changed. The other thing that's changed is the age of 139 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:37.200 our defensive line. Our defensive line was super young last year when you talk 140 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.159 about who was playing that second half of the year. Now we're playing with 141 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:45.879 four or five six twenty two year olds or older twenty two and twenty three 142 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.519 year olds, and then the guys were freshmen are now sitting there and making 143 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.399 them better. So it's pretty cool, you know. We talked about specific 144 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.840 heights and weights and whatnot of specific positions, where he says, we're not 145 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.440 just getting guys, we're getting certain guys to fit certain positions. Again, 146 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.080 one of those things that unless you're a coach, that's not even anything you 147 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.240 think of. Well, he's funny because he's bringing all his experience with other 148 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:15.759 coaches and he said this was parcels parcels Parcel's had this theory, so he 149 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.320 brought that theory as well. Um, there's no question they're gonna be better 150 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.120 than what we've seen a long time. Yeah. Um, and you think 151 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.559 defense has gotta be bet, it's got to be better, right right, 152 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:31.600 right, We're going to see how they handle the secondary right and Keena thankfully 153 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.080 he's here and then got cecil on everybody else. But that's gonna be the 154 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.080 key, you know, with this passing passing conference right, Well, don't 155 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.960 you think that I don't know if it's apropos or if that's the right word. 156 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.440 Uh, the best football season in a long time, conference wise, 157 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.080 This is like the last hurrah in the last year that they're gonna be together. 158 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:54.759 Because it's gonna be fun to watch. It is gonna be fun to 159 00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.600 watch. There's gonna be a lot of extra I don't you would call it 160 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.960 just juice for every game. You know you're gonna have Stanford. They want 161 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.480 to kick the crap out of Arizona because they're abandoned in the well. No, 162 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.000 no, our guy said this today. We were at the practice and 163 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.759 um Blair. Blair says, because we talked about you and I talked about 164 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.440 this all the time. It was gonna needs to win a couple of games. 165 00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.519 It must win kind of if they want to get to six or seven 166 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.919 games. Oregon State and Washington State, the two guys, the two teams 167 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.639 are gonna be left by nine. And then what did he say? He 168 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.360 said, it's gonna be interesting to see. You know when Arizona goes to 169 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.720 Washington State. How is that gonna be? How are the fans gonna be, 170 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.519 you know, and how the player is going to be. You know 171 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.759 what are they gonna kind of take it out on them and stuff like that. 172 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:43.759 It's gonna be because they are last shot at you guys, shot at 173 00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.679 you guys, and you guys are right heads for leaving us behind. Well, 174 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.679 you see the Washington State statement, they had a statement we kind of 175 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:52.600 we're disappointed kind of knew something like this might happen. YadA, YadA. 176 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.639 What are you gonna do? I mean, god, I mean, what 177 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.200 do you do with your athletics? Now? I mean we're talking about a 178 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.840 major decision that involves tens of millions of dollars for each of these schools. 179 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.600 You know what's Washington State and in Organs Station in Oregon State. As they 180 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.559 said, Organsta just got good, right, they just got good in football, 181 00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:13.440 and now their their their league is breaking up and they might wind up 182 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.440 back in the Mountain West. Okay, so yeah, you go to the 183 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.919 Mountain West. You're gonna win the Mountain West a whole bunch of times. 184 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.480 How fun is that? It'll be in the last Vegas Ball? Yeah? 185 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.679 God, maybe yeah. I think come to the air Zone. They'll figure 186 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:30.399 this out. I mean, Stanford, what Stanford gonna do? That's that's 187 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:35.879 the one I would imagine. Unless Stanford and Cal feel like they're kind of 188 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.120 joined at the hip because of their their location and they've always kind of been 189 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.080 a partner um, if they want to go somewhere together, I don't know, 190 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.919 but I would. I would. I don't know. I'm not knowing 191 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:50.480 the ins and outs of the dollars and how it would work. I would 192 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.200 imagine the Stanford would just want to go independent and be sort of a Notre 193 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.840 Dame kind of kind of program or way BYPU had been up up until, 194 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.919 you know, getting into the big Well, No, that's an ugly thing. 195 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.399 I just thought of. We're gonna be an a league with by U. 196 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.200 I hate those guys. We've already discussed that. You may may not 197 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.559 have to, if I remember correctly, had to apologize. I can't remember. 198 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.559 No, not to them. I would never be no. No. 199 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.960 But remember the goler who said, I can't what was the incident? It 200 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.440 was the letter. There was something that happened a year or so ago. 201 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.120 Somebody called you. You you disparaged the BYU. He thought you did. 202 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:33.320 Oh, I can't remember that. There are a bunch of goons. I 203 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.759 said something bad about him. Yes, yes, he called me out on 204 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.120 the phone's going to ring them just a second, we gonna call me again. 205 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.559 But um, you know it's it's uh, you know, I think 206 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.600 that those schools that are going to get left behind, that now that's sort 207 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.360 of the next thing, right, Okay, what happens to them? And 208 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.559 I mean, I can't imagine what it would feel like if we were sitting 209 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.279 here Arizona and nowhere to go and no where to go. Yeah, and 210 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.320 Stanford's the premiere. I still think I was, So I've debateted this with 211 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:07.080 a couple of people. They're the premier sports program in the country across across 212 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.799 the board. Now, will they continue to be, Probably, But it's 213 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.919 like they're on an island. Yeah, and they're not the best football program, 214 00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.759 not the best, but when you when you throw them up again, 215 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:20.559 throw all the sports out there, they're the best across the board. Athletic 216 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.559 program, you know, in the country year in, year out, women's 217 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.600 basketball, well, you know what's gonna happen there. Swimming, what's gonna 218 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.879 happen there? And if your son or daughter was being recruited by Stanford and 219 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.000 everybody else, what are you gonna do?

Trying 295 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.319 to do my best to suffer from each stroke out of practice. It's all 296 00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.079 of us, that's all of us. I couldn't have a laugh when we 297 00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:11.480 were all huddled under that one little tent right they're waiting for practice. I 298 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.039 wanted to run through that little the ice the water spirit. I did that 299 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.640 through a couple of times. Smart. What's funny about that is that I'm 300 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.359 like, I'm basically glue to the other side. What would be I guess 301 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.839 the east side of the practice field, up against that fence. And as 302 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.640 the stuff continues to climb, the shadows and shade continue to like pull back 303 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:36.160 like a vampire trying to get away from the sun. You're like Homer Simpson 304 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.559 into the weeds, trying to get take the back back into the thing. 305 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.480 So what was your impression today outside of the heat? Well, um, 306 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.200 you know, I was. I was checking my phone a good chunk at 307 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.759 the time while we were out there. But uh, and you know, 308 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.640 from what I understand, there's other things going on outside of a wild all 309 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.640 that they have something to do with it. Um, No, you know, 310 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.799 as far as Arizona is concerned, I'm I'm looking forward to seeing where 311 00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:11.119 they have to offer Montana. The wide receiver transfer from Colorado sharp Yeah looks 312 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:17.079 good, yes, yes, And as far as that's me, let's see 313 00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.640 here, they looked pretty sharp. I was focusing a lot of attention on 314 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.559 the White receivers, and I mean, team looks bigger than he did the 315 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.519 last season. So as far as all that stuff is concerned, Um, 316 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.200 got a few weeks still, so we'll see. Yeah, you know it 317 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:37.920 was it was Um Jed, No, it was Who's God who was saying 318 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.559 that the teamak had really changed his body, uh and got much bigger. 319 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:48.319 I remember it was Montana talked about just athletic. Yeah, but I think 320 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.720 I think at media day, I think Jed said that about about the team 321 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.799 Mac as well. Who you just You've done a lot of work in the 322 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:57.599 weight room and looks different. It does. He looks like on to me, 323 00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.920 which is exactly what you expected. You know what I found funny though? 324 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.079 Um At media I was talking to Cowings, the White Faver coach, 325 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.880 and he said the one thing that disappointed him from last season was the last 326 00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.759 yards after to catch his wife Roop. And that took me back because all 327 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:22.759 I could think about was Cowings breaking tackle, the time breaking tackle. It's 328 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.640 like, wow, and you standards must be up here because that's all I 329 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.480 could think exactly, because I mean that's what he did. You're both him 330 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.720 and Dorian Singer. Now maybe maybe Team Mack not as much, but he 331 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.400 doesn't have the speed that those guys have. But he wanted to cut some 332 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:40.000 balls and nobody else is going to catch, right. Yeah, and then 333 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.440 and then he tells me that he's gonna have to go over to Scottie Graham 334 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.720 in the running backs room to find out what the secret is to being able 335 00:22:45.759 --> 00:22:48.359 to break tackles. So I go over to Scottie and I asked him about 336 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.119 that, and Scottie gives me this weird look, like, trust me, 337 00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:55.640 he's got everything under control over. Yeah, you know what I asked you 338 00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.240 about the impressions with Montana today. I was impressed too, very right. 339 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.079 Uh. Then he says he's you know, he's already he already has his 340 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.799 degree. Uh he's in sports management, no sports communications. And I'm thinking 341 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.519 this kid is pretty smart. Yeah, he knows exactly what he's doing. 342 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.400 And they also say that, uh real estate development. Yeah, yeah, 343 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.559 he's he's going for his master's the real estate development. He's had a degree 344 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.160 in communication figured out. Yeah, I was. I was very I was 345 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.920 very impressed with with Montana and I just standing there too. I'm looking at 346 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:30.880 him. I'm like, man, he's got the size on Dorian that Dorian 347 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.640 didn't have. Right. Well, I was looking at his biceps and not 348 00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.519 not in a in a bad way, just thinking that this is you know, 349 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.559 this guy's a receiver. Yeah right, he's you know, not super 350 00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:45.839 tall, but you know, a big enough receiver that he you know, 351 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.559 he can be. It looks like he can be physical out there, and 352 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.799 he did talk about him He's got worth to be honest. Do he looked 353 00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.720 like he could get in the defensive and just put a hit right right, 354 00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.119 No doubt so. So Damien, you know we we we were. I've 355 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.559 been kicking this around all day, well for weeks now, but you know 356 00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.640 you mentioned you were you were watching looking at your phone a lot of the 357 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.160 time at practice. Um, just give me your your thoughts on this. 358 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.640 I mean, do you hate this? I hate it? But they are 359 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.640 where they are now, so make the best of it. That's my feel. 360 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:19.839 What do you what have you been thinking about just all that's been happening, 361 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.200 with all the realignment stuff and the PAC twelve, just going down the 362 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:33.079 down the toity. My my my, uh my emotion. It's complicated with 363 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.079 me, It's complicated um so again, full disclosure. I'm an olag. 364 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:44.599 I was born to rich in southern California. I camp page during the Brothers 365 00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:49.839 era of you say basketball. Terry Donahue went to my church. I was 366 00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:55.920 met. Had I not completely messed up on my acts, I would have 367 00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.599 applied to UCLA. But that's the whole of the story. Like, I 368 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:06.680 was huge bruin fans. I was super excited about this opportunity here in Tucson 369 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.480 when this job opening came up because of the University of Arizona. Because I 370 00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.640 knew covering conference that I loved all my life, like my entire life. 371 00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:22.279 Um and I accepted this job knowing that. So when you CLA left and 372 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:29.240 you C left last year, I was totally disheartened. Um and map that 373 00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:34.079 basically the past is dead to right. It's like a little piece of me 374 00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.960 died. Yeah. Were you mad at first? Emotional? That's me being 375 00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.000 about it. Were you were you? Were you mad at them? What's 376 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:47.200 that? Were you mad at them at U C l A and SC Yeah? 377 00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.440 Yes, okay, yes, like and here okay, So here's the 378 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.880 thing. So the day the news broke, in fact, the moment the 379 00:25:55.920 --> 00:26:00.000 news broke, I was sitting in the parking lot of Kenny Dellree High schoo 380 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:06.880 waiting on Turner Washington, who big NCA thrower went to school, CDO champion 381 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:12.640 and I had. I was like totally focused on talking with him his story. 382 00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.960 This news hit and like everything the window and like Turner and sat there 383 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.839 talking about conference realignment for like the first ten minutes of our conversation, Like 384 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:30.000 I was super disheartened. Okay again, that's my emotional die talking. Now 385 00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:34.799 flip it over to the business side of it. Absolutely, Arizona needs to 386 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:41.640 come to the Big twelve. It needs to happen. Where do you think 387 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:48.599 they're gonna fall in this group of teams in the Big twelve? First competitive 388 00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.720 first football? And then where where do they Where do they rank competitively? 389 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:55.559 Do you think in the Big twelve? Now? I mean if talking football, 390 00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.880 mid tier like probably low mid tier. But they're on the ride. 391 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:06.440 That's you know, a lot of folks were making fun of Arizona because I 392 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:11.000 did. Some one of the netsiders said something to the effective like Arizona has 393 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.000 like anothering, I wouldn't make a difference in the pack, wouldn't be losing 394 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:17.960 much. But I mean that's a little sided as far as I'm concerned, 395 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.440 given the improvements that Jed has made from year two to year three and then 396 00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:26.640 now shoot with the recruits he's got who knows, um, so lower to 397 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.559 mid tier, but there's plenty of room to rise U basketball wise. I 398 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.960 mean, you know it's just pretty electric. Yeah, it's gonna make it 399 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:41.279 fun for sure at McHale. Um. So based on everything is I mean, 400 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.960 being that you're from southern California, you just got to be really sad 401 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.240 at what happened? Is what with what's happened to the Pac twelve, I 402 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.599 mean just sad it's here. Man, I got pour one out like this 403 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.720 is. I still haven't come to terms with it, um because I'll be 404 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:03.200 honest, like I am going to be forced to care about the Big twelve 405 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.799 because I just don't and I never have. I've always been a pack kid, 406 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:11.640 a pack ten kid. I have vivid, vivid memories of where I 407 00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.839 was when you know what I mean, Like it was ingrained in me, 408 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.960 like I can't usail a household, So I didn't go to a packpool, 409 00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.960 but I fell in mind with it. I was the only kid in my 410 00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:30.359 dormitory freshman year at Santa Clara when sc and UCLA played each other. I 411 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.240 was the only kid in the lobby or whatever the TV was watching that game. 412 00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:37.240 So to see it all collapsed, and and here's the thing, to 413 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:42.359 see it collapsed in the way it has and for the reasons that it happened, 414 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.079 makes it exponentially worse for a kid like me, for a guy like 415 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:55.000 me, because the day, in my opinion, it all comes down the 416 00:28:55.279 --> 00:29:00.400 arrogance of these conference initials and the lack of four sights that they had, 417 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.039 and the four thoughts that they thought they had but which was in reality a 418 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.920 lot of naivete. Yeah it didn't, it didn't. It didn't have to 419 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:11.880 happen. Yeah, No, And it didn't happen to happen thirteen months after 420 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:14.119 the fact. Yeah, you could have been solved a long time ago, 421 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.759 A long time ago itself, a day ago. M Yeah, yeah, 422 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.559 yeah, who do you Who do you blame? One and two? Who 423 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:29.119 saved Arizona? Okay, so who do I blame? It would be very 424 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:36.119 very easy to blame, you know, conferences. It would be very easy 425 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:41.720 to blame Fock for being the deal maker between the Big ten poaching UCLA and 426 00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:49.880 usc UM ultimately, though, you had Larry Scott had an opportunity to bring 427 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:53.519 on Texas and Oklahoma back in two thousand and eleven. Right, And when 428 00:29:53.559 --> 00:30:02.720 I talk about arrogance, um, it was an arrogant bo to turn away 429 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:10.759 Texas and Oklahoma and in turn also turn away you know, tex in Oklahoma 430 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:18.440 state. Right, flash forward to sec and um, excuse me to tax 431 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.319 to Oklahoma Boltings sec it. You know when they were central tax from the 432 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:30.480 Big twelve to come together again? There was arrogance there? Who turned that? 433 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.359 Because what we're the Pack twelve? Were the pack? Can we have 434 00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:41.839 these higher standards that other schools and other conferences can't meet? And and like 435 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.720 where Yeah, no, no, you're you're absolutely right. I mean, 436 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.519 and I guess I know Larry Scott said a lot of this stuff in motion 437 00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.039 with the way he managed a conference, but you know, the conference presidents 438 00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.759 let him do it. Yeah. Yeah, So I'm really against across the 439 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:06.119 board. Right, And so who saved who saved Arizona? Who saved Arizona 440 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.039 President talktor Bobby Ryan? Yeah right, well he had no choice too. 441 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:17.000 He was like pulling rabbits. Yeah, yeah, there were rabbits coming out 442 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.000 all over the place. I mean, at the end of the day, 443 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.559 you know, he is the one that is leaving chart. He is he 444 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.279 is the face of this decision, all of what it is. Right. 445 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:32.920 Yeah, he never mind what was best for the conference. He made the 446 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.599 decision that he knew was for the university, because at the end of the 447 00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:41.920 day, that is his job, right And if you're talking financials and dollars, 448 00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:48.759 then a thirty one seven million dollars can pay out a year is infinitely 449 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:56.000 better than a low twenty twenty four million dollars has to pay out. If 450 00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:02.799 you're talking about bosure, being televised onn and Fox right now is still better 451 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:10.079 exposure than being televised on Apple TV. Yeah. So if you're talking about 452 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:16.359 the full business aspect of this decision, it's hard to argue that moving to 453 00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:21.759 the Big twelve would be detrimental. Yeah, I mean, is you to 454 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.519 to be kind of dumb, But it doesn't take a heart surgeon to look 455 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.319 at that and say what the right thing to do is. And sure he 456 00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.720 is a heart surgeman and he knew what the right thing to do was. 457 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:35.200 But you also have to have some I hate to use the word courage, 458 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:39.400 but just some for like Cahonies to just go ahead and make the decision, 459 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.160 you know, because because by by the sounds of it, Michael Crowe was 460 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.960 still fighting this to the very end even this morning. Yeah. Yeah, 461 00:32:49.960 --> 00:32:52.680 I mean well, I mean you can understand why. Right he was Larry 462 00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:58.839 Scott. He was the backing of Larry Scott, very specific, ten specific, 463 00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:04.240 twelve oriented you know again, La go pack. I understand that. 464 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:09.480 But he was riding with tunnel vision. Yeah. Well now he's still no, 465 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:13.640 he's going, no, no, he has now he's going so you 466 00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.039 know, so Damien knowing do you know that Damion loves to eat and he 467 00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:20.640 doesn't gain a pound, so now he doesn't have to eat in La or 468 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.839 Santrancists go. Now it's gonna be great. Barbee barbecue, man, I 469 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:28.079 was thinking about. I was like, okay, so what are the barbecus? 470 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:30.519 Actually, somebody'd ask me a couple of days ago, what's the benefit 471 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:34.960 of the Big twelve? And I was like, barbecue, Yeah, and 472 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:39.960 lots of it. I've never been to a Buckie's before, but I look 473 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:44.880 forward to eventually getting to one and understanding what all the fuss is about, 474 00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:47.359 because there is a lot of fuss and apparently it's all justified. Yeah, 475 00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:52.920 so well, well you you you've you've seen Steve and Our Bodies and two. 476 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.839 Still one of the greatest, one of the best steaks I ever had 477 00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.759 in the history of my life, and I've had a gazillion stays.

Do you know if that steak I'll 482 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:22.079 still exists, probably because they were real. Yeah, it was good. 483 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:23.920 It was like, yeah, I'll find it.

Covering Arizona, I was, I was the back I 562 00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:57.519 was I was basketball two years, football two years, and then the first 563 00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:00.199 year I was like the backup on stuff. And actually my first year year 564 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.400 in one year, one year, I did football kind of unintentionally because long 565 00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:08.760 story, Dick's first year ended up covering a lot of that season at right 566 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:15.519 because mcgrudo was on a special project. So, um, I posted the 567 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:21.039 Arizona O you answer? You answered? Answered the question post Arizona beating North 568 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:29.440 Carolina to get to the final four. Very memorable moment because that was that 569 00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:32.880 was the thing to me where you know, as a little kid growing up 570 00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:37.880 watching the NC Double A tournament and watching the final four, and now I'm 571 00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:43.360 covering this team. It's my job and I'm going to cover the final four. 572 00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.719 Yes, that's that's a huge moment in the league. Okay, but 573 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:52.599 what I mean in the team, But what about specific to pack twelve pack? 574 00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:57.480 Then? Um, so like a game in the PAC twelve, I 575 00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.199 think you were going to be losses man. Well, well even then, 576 00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:04.599 I mean big moments the Cecil You you were a fan of Cecil, Right, 577 00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:06.480 you're a fan? Yeah, I said, yeah, I was sitting 578 00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:09.599 in the seats for that game because because I was covering the Basketball's a huge 579 00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:14.960 moment. I flew back from I flew back from Vegas that morning because Arizone 580 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.039 the night before and played in the preseason N I t at u n LV 581 00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:22.920 so I was. I was literally on the on the tarmac in Vegas, 582 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:27.079 like an hour before the game was going to be supposed to start. Um 583 00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:31.360 so um that, you know, the cecil thing. But to me, 584 00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:36.719 it's it's been the loss of Steve because it's been like, um, you 585 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:39.159 know, the the ninety eight game against UCLA. It was a great game 586 00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:44.880 and then it got away from in the third quarter and they lost that game. 587 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:47.880 They win that game, now people, you know, forget that there 588 00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:52.239 was Arizona wins that game. They're undefeated at the end of the year. 589 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:53.280 They're still not going to the Rose Ball. They'd have played in the National 590 00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:57.400 Championship Game at the Festival because that would have been the first year of the 591 00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.320 BCS. So how much would that have sucked? Right? I said, 592 00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:04.039 let's lose one and go to the Rose Bowl, and UCLA screwed that up 593 00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:07.599 for us. So you know that that game. Um, there was the 594 00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:13.760 game at Cal ninety three that cost them the Rose Bowl. Another loss. 595 00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:17.920 Uh you know, an interception return for a touchdown and they lose the game 596 00:42:17.920 --> 00:42:22.840 at Cal app blowing the twenty to nothing halftime lead. But then things like 597 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:29.039 you know Sean Elliott breaking the Pac twelve scoring record at McHale. Right, 598 00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:36.400 Um, I was there in eighty eight the year Uh, well, in 599 00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:39.239 the eighty eight season, they clinched. Uh, they clinched the Pac twelve 600 00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:45.320 championship at UCLA. You know, Arizona beat Ucla in overtime. You know, 601 00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.840 Sean Ellie, it's a it's a leaning jumper from the corner and they 602 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:52.199 win that game. You know, things like that. There's a whole bunch 603 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:55.400 of them. Well, just something give me chills. Um, I think 604 00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:00.639 you were covering the team. I think you were football. Uh. Dary 605 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:04.920 Lewis stopping Musgrave on the one inch. That was. That was my first 606 00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.159 years back as a fan. That was. That was the nine that I 607 00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:09.960 was right there and it felt like I got hit too. Yeah, it 608 00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:13.840 was unbelievable. Our seats were on that gold line. So that happened, 609 00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:16.760 right, huge play. That was exciting to me. A lot of the 610 00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:23.599 lot of the Stanford Arizona basketball games with Lutan's in Montgomery at at Maples because 611 00:43:23.599 --> 00:43:28.960 they were crazy. Well again, another loss, the Arizona's only packed pack 612 00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:34.840 ten loss of the eighty eight season was that and I remember that, you 613 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:39.360 know, sitting there and you know, remember the press seats there were, 614 00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:45.599 and people are jumping over me. What's the first save your computer? Yeah, 615 00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:46.840 exactly. I had one of those, one of those radio shacks, 616 00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:50.960 and I was I was trying to save my computer. Yeah. I remember 617 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:55.039 those days under those those games. The uh the Robinson shot from half court 618 00:43:55.079 --> 00:44:00.159 Tiger Woods on the sideline beat on TV. Um that one. There's so 619 00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:05.840 many games with Stafford and then Oregon. When the when when Freddie Banks and 620 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:09.320 those guys were or you know those two guys in Arizona Damon going home and 621 00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:14.519 just destroying Oregon. Um, just so many great memories, you know, 622 00:44:14.599 --> 00:44:17.239 I mean, uh, you know there was a you know Arizona beat in 623 00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:22.679 Washington at Washington you know football in football. Yeah, the field goal in 624 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.760 the rain, yeah, right, the driving rain. Yes, standing on 625 00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:29.400 the sidelines in the driving rain with not enough clothes on, right, I 626 00:44:29.480 --> 00:44:35.880 remember. I remember that for a different reason. But it was very fun, 627 00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:39.280 very cool. Um. I had another one a second ago. Um. 628 00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:45.760 Uh oh my bachelor party. My bachelor party was in nineteen ninety was 629 00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:52.079 a trip to see to the Arizona UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. Darrel 630 00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.360 Lewis interception returned for a touchdown right there at the end of the game to 631 00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:58.920 win the game. We were we were there for that.

You know, we've had trips where we went over there and went 665 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:06.920 to the horse races the day before or anyone of a number of things, 666 00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:09.159 and add some great times, some big losses, a couple of wins, 667 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:13.800 and um, you know, it's all all of that stuff, is it? 668 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:15.800 You know? And then you know to me, what the hell happens 669 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:20.320 to the Rose Bowl? Now? Right? Yeah? Well good luck? 670 00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:23.000 Well good think about it though. Is Arizona in a better position to go 671 00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:28.000 to the Rose Bowl because because the Pac twelve is not gonna take that spot 672 00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:30.360 anymore because it's gone. I know, the Rose boll is gonna be a 673 00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:34.920 part of the playoff. You know. So now you know, did your 674 00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:39.599 chances improve assuming they don't go this year? Do your chances improve? And 675 00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:45.159 I was gonna say, hold your horses gonna this year? We talked about 676 00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:47.239 it with you. How many games are gonna win? I think they're gonna 677 00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:54.159 win? Okay, my six Okay, that's a number that's sort of everybody's 678 00:47:54.199 --> 00:47:58.000 kind of yeah, just kind of sitting on because you don't want to believe 679 00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:01.360 that they're gonna go five and Steven, they're gonna be better. I'll agree 680 00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:05.440 with that. Yeah, but or what does that translate to enough wins? 681 00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:08.119 Because else is getting better? Yeah, yeah, we'll see what happens. 682 00:48:08.280 --> 00:48:10.280 I don't want to I don't want to be picky, and you know, 683 00:48:10.320 --> 00:48:14.280 backers can't be choosers. But I hope if they go six and six, 684 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:17.239 they don't go to like to the Independence Bulb. I'd go to the New 685 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.760 Mexican Ball if they were to. That's a fun ball. I didn't go 686 00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:24.800 to that one. That the comeback because the Florida game was I had to 687 00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:29.320 work the game. But I've watched that. I've watched the end of that 688 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:32.079 game. Yeah, probably forty times. A great comeback. Yeah, that 689 00:48:32.159 --> 00:48:35.639 was so much fun. So many memories. If anybody wants, well, 690 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:37.159 we have like five minutes. Anybody wants to call in and talk about one 691 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.960 of their favorite games with anybody lost win, we'll start bringing you know, 692 00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:45.519 as soon as this gets finalized, maybe we start bringing guys in and give 693 00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:49.840 us your pack twelve memories or pack pack ten memories. Well, that's just 694 00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:52.679 the thing. The reason that I didn't see how yours pull. I saw 695 00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:54.199 Pete Williams talking about it's too early for me to talk to he said. 696 00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:58.880 To digest this and who to blame. But Pete was a part of a 697 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.960 lot of it. Yeah. It was you know again talking about moments, 698 00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:07.760 right, Uh, Larry Smith's first year, Ucla comes to town. They're 699 00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:12.639 undefeated, they're number two in the country. During the game, number one 700 00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:15.880 Alabama loses, So the assumption is Ucla is going to be the new number 701 00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:19.920 one. Then Arizona beats Yeah. Yeah, you know, another guy we 702 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.519 gonna try to maybe have you had Joe. I've had Joe Nils a couple 703 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:25.239 of times, so and he was part of the seventy Yeah. I rushed 704 00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:28.280 the court. I might have smacked him in the butter or something. When 705 00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:32.920 the spaghetti Spaghetti Night, you know, that's when it first started. Yeah, 706 00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:36.800 the yeah, that was the first season. Yeah, the first season 707 00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:39.760 seven. Yeah, those are the really good old days. Yeah. Yeah, 708 00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:45.079 and that was Michale was It's it's nuts now, but it's it's way 709 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.920 subdued compared to what it was that time, because three quarters of the court 710 00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:54.000 were surrounded by students and not you know, not the seventy eight, seventy 711 00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:58.920 eight, twenty two, forty five years. This is so, so this 712 00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:05.719 is forty five years of that's actually technically be forty six forty six years, 713 00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.559 forty six year coming up to get birth and then to end. Yeah, 714 00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:14.079 forty six year old mid midlife crisis. Man. I thinking back to that 715 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:15.760 forty six years ago, and I thought we were gonna be going to the 716 00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:19.679 Rose Bowl at some point. Yeah, you're like, You're like Josh Pastor, 717 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:24.880 Look, let's really get to the Rose Bowl. Dang happened. Well 718 00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:29.719 time, well, you know, they'd have to get into it now in 719 00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:34.039 in a playoff. Wait, you're through the playoff because the Boar the Ball 720 00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:36.760 is still gonna exist. I gotta wonder, though, what did they think 721 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:40.119 now right? What are they thinking about? What what's the future of the 722 00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:43.679 Rose Bowl? And maybe the future of the Rose Ball is just going to 723 00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:49.079 rely on being a playoff a playoff venue, you know, or does somebody 724 00:50:49.119 --> 00:50:52.280 get that as a playoff venue? Does the Big twelve get it as a 725 00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:54.679 as a playoff venue since some of the Pac twelf teams are you know, 726 00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:59.320 since the four former Pac twelf teams in their league, But the Big ten 727 00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:01.559 can say that, and the Big Ten has been one of the teams in 728 00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:06.360 there so be interesting to see what happens with the Rose Bond. What where 729 00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:09.320 it affiliates. I'll tell you if it, if it, let's say, 730 00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:15.280 if it affiliates with the Big Ten and the Big Twelve. I'm jumping up 731 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:20.320 and down because the chances, the chances are back, right, you know. 732 00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:22.119 And as I said, I was saying last second, you know, 733 00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:27.480 I think the chances are better for Arizona in the Big twelve than they are 734 00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.800 then they've been in the Pact. You know what's trending on Twitter? Bill 735 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:36.599 Wollen. Everyone wonders how's he doing? How's he doing? Man? Still, 736 00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:38.880 you know they're the competention chaps for a reason. Stepford does a pretty 737 00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:44.599 good job of doing what they do UCLA obviously, and they've won the most 738 00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:47.280 national champions When you com buying all sports, you know, buy I think 739 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:52.840 it's buy a lot too if I recall buy a ton. But you know 740 00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:55.280 when, when when did they last win a national championship in football? What 741 00:51:55.840 --> 00:52:00.079 it was? You know? Matt Leiner Reggie Bush here, Yeah, and 742 00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:02.480 you may want to do a quick correction. I know you brought it up, 743 00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.559 brought yeah, Yes, Matt Leinart has one a Heisman trophy. I 744 00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:10.599 made the comment that I didn't think that Reggie Bush had one one, but 745 00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:16.880 I didn't think Matt Leiner had one. I got it. I got about 746 00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:22.960 three texts. Did okay? Yeah? Well again, I can't. We 747 00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:25.760 couldn't remember Devin's name this morning.
