It makes the show go fast.

15
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:04.280
Well, yeah, you know,
a lot less of us, a lot

16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.120
more of them. But uh,
Brandon Sanders, who's the high school and

17
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:14.480
Alumni relations coordinator at Frizona Football does
their camps, does all the you know,

18
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.359
he's the guy who's largely responsible from
getting all these yeah, uh former

19
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.120
players who come in and you know, come to the spring game and stuff.

20
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:25.560
So they're running all the camps.
We're gonna talk about all the summer

21
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:30.040
camps that are available to us,
Rob Elbows with you of a coaches and

22
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:32.159
whatnot. Yeah, I also wanted
to talk to him because we haven't talked

23
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.439
to him in a while about the
success of the spring game with all his

24
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.480
buddies coming into time. It was
huge. Yeah, they had a lot

25
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.640
of people there was They had a
lot of It's just like two hundred and

26
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.560
seventy some you know, former players
were here or something like that. It's

27
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.120
a big number, including when you're
getting guys like Gronk and I don't think

28
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.000
Bruskie was here this year, but
he was here last year. But you

29
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.359
know, all the guys that they
bring in, it's it's pretty crazy.

30
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.159
Yeah. Yeah, okay, so
I'll talk about that. That should be

31
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.840
fun. Uh and then uh,
then later in the hour a three thirty

32
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:04.200
five I heard its Chin head coach
of the Sugar Skulls big win last week

33
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.759
Big Game this coming up on Saturday
six o'clock. You can hear it here

34
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.039
on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. You
can also watch it on YouTube, or

35
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.639
you can go to the game,
which I highly recommend. Me to ask

36
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:21.080
you a prediction attendance because of last
week's success. Well, last week they

37
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.360
gave away kids jerseys. People brought
their kids and they got their jersey.

38
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.840
I'm gonna still say in the thirty
five hundred. The number was probably probably

39
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.680
dropped it they had forty two last
week, but you know, if they're

40
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.599
in the three thousands, you know
they feel pretty good about themselves. The

41
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.439
arena seems, you know, there's
enough people in the arena where it doesn't

42
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.240
feel like it's half empty and whatnot. You know, it's hard for us,

43
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.039
you know, Pat Paris and I
in doing the broadcast, you know,

44
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:50.840
we're facing you know, when we're
the way we're facing the field,

45
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.560
that's the side that more people sit
on, so they'll be low us,

46
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.240
so we can't tell how many people
are there. But the other side had

47
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.439
a good number of people in it, more than all year long, so

48
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.680
think you know. And I would
talk to Kevin Guy the week before and

49
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.080
he was pretty confident they were gonna
have a good crowd last week and they

50
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.919
did so. Hopefully get an out. It's a big game. They're playing

51
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.000
for first place in the in the
Western Division. They're in the hunt.

52
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.960
How many there's a lot of games
though, price. Yeah, they've got

53
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.159
uh, they've got eight games left. Oh, it's like total of fifteen

54
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.800
games. They're mid season at the
middle of the season. They're four and

55
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.039
three. Okay, they're right in
them, really right in the middle.

56
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.240
Just put some past the halfway point. Um, it's a fifteen game season.

57
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.800
They've got eight games left. County
Saturday's game, okay, super and

70
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.560

story, but I and where we live,

71
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.360
there's you know, the route that
we take to get out of our

72
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.720
neighborhood. Half a mile away.
There's this little bridge over over a culver

73
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:40.600
and I thought, I'm gonna run
to that and back. That's a mile.

74
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.160
I can do that. No,
couldn't even I didn't even get there.

75
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.240
Your your mind is twenty one,
your body is sixty post. It

76
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.720
doesn't seem far. No, it's
not good to vegas. Let just walk

77
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.959
to the stratosphere. It's right there. It didn't seem far, and it

78
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.800
turned out it was. And so
I I don't remember you know what.

79
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.560
My knees are bad, my hips
are bad, my back is bad.

80
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.079
I'm getting depressed by getting older.
It just and it's not because I'm getting

81
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.480
older. It's yeah, the body
sucks. Hey, my youngest brother,

82
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.639
so one next to me. Gene
turned seventy. I saw, I saw

83
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.759

84
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:21.759

will be seven. Ed will be seventy

85
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.480
two in August. He's my favorite, you know, and because he's quiet.

86
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.920
Yeah yeah, but but he doesn't
he looks were sounds younger than than

87
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.759
than than Jane. But I guess
now, maybe I didn't spend enough time

88
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:39.000
with it. They're all yeah,
no, they're they're they're all. They're

89
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.160
all kind of the same guy.
So um, just different, yeah,

90
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.360
just different. But yeah, so
seventy three, Ed will be seventy two

91
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.639

93
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.680
but pushing it really hard to sixty
four in a couple of months as well.

94
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.079
It's happening fast, Steve. The
years go by, but later I

95
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.199
remember, you know, as a
kid, I couldn't wait for the you

96
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:14.160
know, I wanted to be fourteen. I wanted those years took forever.

97
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.399
These things are flashing, there's no
question, especially when you have kids.

98
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.560
Yeah, you could get a lashing
byas yeah, can not. Don't even

99
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.199
know if I would have taken taken
better care of my health, if i'd

100
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.279
be, I'd probably still feel the
same. Well, you know what,

101
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.360
I don't know. My wife will
be mad if I say this. You

102
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.959
know, all the things that you
can do to be healthy, they're no

103
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.600

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.120

agree with you. You know. But

108
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.319
doctors tell me that and I say, well, I kind of just want

109
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.199

say, yeah we are. We're
depressing the hell out of our fans.

113
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.480
We should tell them what what we
decided to do with our time of our

114
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.720
time for summer. So um.
I was already taking some time off starting

00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.920
period of time, and then Steve

00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.360
you know, a safety thing.
I don't swim into the I don't swim.

150
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.440
I don't swim. I don't run. You know. I got there

151
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.399
with an inner two. But that's
it, I bob Okay. So that

152
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.919
was our preview on the coming of
days, and then we have our preview

153
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.159
of today. A lot of local
breaking news from a lot of big bricking

154
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.159
news if you haven't heard already.
But we'll get to that when we get

155
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:58.840
to that. Okayvowvey obviously right,
Um, we're still waiting to hear who

156
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.440
Arizona Baseball plays, and it's semifinal
game tomorrow. Um, there's still there's

157
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.480
two more games that have to be
played to make that determination. Uh,

158
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:16.360
it's likely likely to be Stanford.
Um ASU beat Oregon State today, so

159
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.399
as U has actually got a shot
to advance. Yeah. Um, so

160
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:26.399
that the highest seeded team that goes
one and one in their pool is the

161
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.559
wild card. So as US a
five. So Stanford is has already won

162
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.240
its pool, so they're a one. Um. Oregon State was a two,

163
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.519
so they lost their pool. So
I don't know who the three in

164
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.480
the four are. But ASU can
still get in into the fourteen bracket.

165
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.519
Fourteen bracket, but it's likely Arizona's
playing well if they know. I take

166
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:54.080
it back, because Arizona is going
to be a no. I am confusing

167
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.279
Arizona. They go by seed,
so even if they're a team is a

168
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.000
wild card. If they're a higher
seat than AWA, then Arizona Arizona play

169
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.639
Stanford. But the story remains to
be seen. How that they won't know

170
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.080
till to till the games are over. To you you know what didn't we

171
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.200
didn't didn't catch or we just didn't
say yesterday when we broke the news or

172
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.320
had the news of the issue,
you have a you have a coaching changes,

173
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.919
new a for Adia. We never
mentioned that ariy Is is gone.

174
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.799
Oh you're right, you know that
they failed, right right, And we

175
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.320
kind of just kind of listened and
it's just never came across and then we

176
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.600
think, you know what, oh
wait, yeah she's gone. Now,

177
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.240
yeah she's gone. Well, um, and there was an article that I

178
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.759
saw that said that Ada very much, she's gonna go play overseason the off

179
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.879
season instead of coach and be here
in the off season to try and improve

180
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.480
her you know, she wants to
play in the league for a while,

181
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:52.480
so Adia gave her blessing to her, um, you know, going off

182
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.279
and instead of coming here and you
know, helping to run the show.

183
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.639
She was she wasn't actually a coach. She was a She was a staff

184
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.960
crepe recruiting, so she couldn't she
couldn't really coach on the floor. I

185
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.279
mean she could do things like,
you know, she could be you know,

186
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.960
let's say they were scrimmaging or whatever. She could do that because coaches

187
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.879
do that all the time, or
staff abers do that all the time.

188
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.039
But what she couldn't do was coach
on the floor. So she's gonna go

189
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:24.000
off and play overseas. She did
that right after she left here. So

190
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.840
again, just trying to improve her
her situation as a professional basketball player.

191
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.919
So Harry McDonald will not be around
saw her all the time. She would

192
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.399
be. She would come and get
stats and at the table and stuff like

193
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.879
that. Very pleasant, very talkative
all you know. I always had fun

194
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.600
talking to her and stuff. But
yeah, right, and here's a thought

195
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.279
too. And I don't know if
you can answer this, because you probably

196
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.559
can't you're not part of the administration. But a lot of changes happened with

197
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.279
the coaching staff over the last few
years. Right, Um, I don't

198
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.080
know if that's a good thing.
I'm just throwing this out here. I

199
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.279
don't know if there's a good thing. I don't know it's a bad thing.

200
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.159
I just it's the thing. It's
a thing, and you know it's

201
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.039
too. It seems to me that
it's it's you know, a coaching staff

202
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.279
is a lot like a team.
Right if if you if you don't have

203
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.519
coaches that you feel you can con
on to do what you need them to

204
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.120
do, then you're gonna want to
change coaches too, just like you you

205
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.120
know, you change players, just
like Dean Sanders went in and wiped out

206
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.279
you know, everybody in Colorado who
didn't think they could do what he needs

207
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:26.039
them to do. So it's neither
they're here nor there in in a good

208
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.519
way or a bad way. I
I don't think, yeah, I know

209
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.559
what I'm saying. No, Yeah, I can't. I think it's I

210
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.639
think it's a DA or whoever.
Right, there's there's a there's a coaching

211
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.320
change going on at another sport that
we'll talk about and breaking news waiting for

212
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:45.320
official confirmation. But um, you
know, you your team. You've got

213
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.200
your team, or you've got your
coaching staff. Now the whole thing makes

214
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.519
up your team. But if your
coaching staff is in all in, you

215
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.279
know, in one place, then
your team isn't going to be either true

216
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.919
true. You gotta see, I
kind of get a sense of idea is

217
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.600
looking for certain types of people,
tries them out and then if they don't

218
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.480
work, she she'll pull the trigger, and yeah, I gotta go get

219
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.080
somebody else, right, And that's
kind of where I was going. There's

220
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.200
a lot of change, both on
the court and in the administration. Yeah,

221
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.320
I agree, I totally agree.
And I think one of the things

222
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.440
that's that shows the signs of a
good program or a good to anything family,

223
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.360
whatever is the continuity the stability,
right right, you gotta have you

224
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.840
gotta have that. You gotta have
that and not to see this isn't happening.

225
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.320
But there's a lot of change there
there is. It really is.

226
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.799
All right, Let's take our break. We got a load of guests.

227
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.480

talk of some things around airs on a

up this summer. And he'll be followed

229
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.000
right after that by hurt his chin

00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:48.839

are you, Brandon? I'm doing great.

How are you guys doing? We're
doing fine. We love your energy,

love your energy. Let's still make
us run a lap or two because

286
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.920
we'll fall apart. I'm on the
move man. We got clumber camps coming.

287
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.000
I know, I know that's one
of the things. How many kids

288
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.799
you have going? And what's the
enthusiasm about? Oh gosh, were as

289
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.279
long as you guys hear me?
All right, kids coming? We have,

290
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:17.160
um, let's see, we have
our first camp. I think there's

291
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:22.119
probably about two hundred and fifty three
hundred kids. High school kids are seven

292
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.519
on sevens are full. We can't
even take anymore. I barely have woom

293
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.720
to feel any what we have.
And uh, and then our youth camps

294
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.480
are are are getting up there.
Man, it's amazing right now. So

295
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.960
so the what when to these camps? When's the first camp? And who

296
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:42.400

guy, funny thing. He's always running.

299
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:57.400
We're roaming around the field world.
Okay, can't hear me? All

300
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.160
right? Yeah that's good. Okay, So I'm looking at your schedule.

301
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.880
You have the high School Elite Prospect
camp coming up on June fourth. That's

302
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:11.359
that's the first camp. Yeah we
have. Yeah, so our high school

303
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.920
camp is June fourth, we have
our we have our seven on seven June

304
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:23.160
fifth, we have a Tuesday Night
under the Light Youth camp June. Uh

305
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.960
what is that, dick? And
then we have a kicking camp actually on

306
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:33.799
June. We have a kicking camp
on June. Hey, so and so

307
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:41.039
most most of these are one day
camps. Were we're uh athletes common you

308
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.839
know, spend some time or are
there any of these camps multiple days?

309
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.160
How did these things work? Yeah? So for us, we didn't get

310
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.880
any. We didn't do any multiple
multiple day camps. Um, just for

311
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.519
travel and everything else. I think
you've made it a lot simpler. Um.

312
00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:00.279
So these are one day camps.
So yeah, these are one day

313
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.400
camps. And and uh, we
we're pushing it. So let me ask

314
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.119
you. You talked about being kind
of full. Are there any because people

315
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.039
are listening obviously, then you might
have a kid who might want to go.

316
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.960
Is there a chance to get into
one of these? Yes? So

317
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.960
so our high school camps, we
have one what I say, June fourth,

318
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:19.960
in June eleventh, right, Um, those are open. We'll be

319
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.759
taking walk ups as well. Um. Also, as you know, it's

320
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.640
crazy because I have some kids from
from Costa Grand Um. And some youth

321
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:32.720
organizations they're they're bringing in the Amphi
school Adjustris coming as well. Our kids

322
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:37.119
are sending kids as well. Um, we have our youth camps the twenty

323
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:41.160
feet of June and the good is
at the sixth of June. Those are

324
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.279
open um lots of fun uh and
everything else and then and then they're open.

325
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.920
So all those are open. Only
thing that's closed right now is our

326
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.519
seven on seven and line line.
That's the that's the June fifth camp under

327
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.279
the lights, right, yeah,
June for June fifth, in June twelve.

328
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.119
Sorry man, I'm ripping and running
at the same time, so is

329
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.000
pulled over. So yeah, June
fifth, in June twelfth, those those

330
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.519
are are are completely booked. We
got some some schools from out of town

331
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.559
from California coming. We have what
three I think our count is so three

332
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:18.799
state state champions h will be here
at three Arizona state champions will be here

333
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.079
in town. Plane. Yeah,
So let me ask you what what's the

334
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.279
what are the objective objectives of the
camps? Right, there's got to be

335
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.079
multiple. You get to see some
kids, you get them familiar. Well,

336
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.599
what are all the objectives of running
these camps? So for for for

337
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.359
us, I mean we want to
one, we want to we want to

338
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.119
expose a lot of of from youth
all the way up to you know,

339
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.920
high junior high, I mean high
school and and even junior college and transfer

340
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.920
uh you know, men to our
campus, get them to see our campus,

341
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.200
getting them to see the beautiful things
that you have in Tucson, because

342
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:56.519
they'll come down and they'll see you
know, restaurants and everything else. And

343
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.880
then also get them around our staff
and for youth camps, to get them

344
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.839
around our players. I think,
um, I think it's important for people

345
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.680
to understand that Arizona. You know, as much as we're a private university,

346
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.039
we're a community school. Tucson is
a great community and it gets to

347
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:17.119
a chance to see exactly what we
have here. So so you mentioned the

348
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.799
players, so the players can take
part in these Has that always been the

349
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:23.640
case or I know our players,
our players, our players are actually uh

350
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.039
if you want to call them camp
counselors. Okay, So our staff will

351
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:32.359
run and our and our players will
be in here helping run our run our

352
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:36.799
camps, especially our youth ones.
We have. We'll probably have twenty to

353
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.119
thirty of our our players work in
those camps and getting out here with these

354
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:44.599
uh, with these young young kids. Sorry. Our youth camp is first

355
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.200
grade to fifth grade, and then
we have a junior high camp sixth to

356
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:51.720
eighth grade. I've seen some of
the highlights on the The kids are really

357
00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:56.319
young kids. It's more about having
fun kind of maybe just spending time with

358
00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:00.920
other kids and enjoying what you guys
provide. And the biggest he's exposing them

359
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.079
to not just Arizona football, but
football as well. So you know,

360
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.519
I think some people attack attack to
football in general. You know, football

361
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.519
is under attack. And I think
you when you see this is this is

362
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.680
the greatest. And I'm not partial
to it. I think this is the

363
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.240
greatest you know, team sport that
you can be in. And so when

364
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.480
you look at when you look at
that and exposing young kids, So even

365
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.079
if even if your kid hasn't played
football for the youth, I'm talking about

366
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.880
our you know we have female uh
you know, we have girls, we

367
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.640
have boys. Everybody should I think
be a part of what we have in

368
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.880
our youth, our junior high.
We're gonna run that this year a little

369
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.039
bit different. We're gonna have that
evaluation is kind of like we do our

370
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:45.680
high school this year. So we'll
be doing forties and in timing and doing

371
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.680
those kinds of things where you'll get
a chance to you know, get that

372
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.079
step up and uh and get some
training and everything else. And then of

373
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.839
course our high school we'll be evaluating
when you come to our camps. Um,

374
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.359
if you've seen in the past,
I mean we do. We'll give

375
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:04.160
there. There are kids that earn
offers to Universe Arizona at our camps,

376
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.400
which doesn't happen at a lot of
other camps. Let me ask about the

377
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.079
youth camp. Okay, the first
youth camp. So this is first through

378
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.759
fifth grade under the lights, June
sixth of uh. It's five to eight

379
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:19.839
or three hours, sixty bucks.
You bring your kid, what you run

380
00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:22.920
me through what that camp is gonna
look like? What's what's a parent going

381
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.000
to see when they bring their third
grade or to the camp. What do

382
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.079
they get to do? So our
uh? Well, so we'll start out.

383
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.400
We'll start out with you know,
our normal agilities, and then we'll

384
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:38.160
take them through a offensive section where
they can you know, learn learn different

385
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.799
skill positions, whether it's UM,
whether it's you know, quarterbacks, running

386
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:48.480
backs, receivers dB and you know, all all the offensive um positions.

387
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.680
Um. Then we'll take a break, so we'll do agilities and then we'll

388
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:57.079
do an offensive section. Then we'll
do a defensive section and um, and

389
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.480
then we'll and then we'll come back
and then we'll uh and then we'll put

390
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.559
put put them in teams, and
we have what's called wildcat wildcat ball,

391
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.319
So then you know, we'll have
teams and then they'll do some competition with

392
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.279
wildcat ball, which is basically,
uh if I had to shorten it up

393
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:18.079
his basketball on grass, how about
and and uh and you know, and

394
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.279
then we'll finish that up. We'll
have some you know some some uh some

395
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:26.400
races where kids can get uh,
you know, extra items from you know,

396
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.200
they all everybody comes gets a T
shirt and so about you. UM.

397
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.720
But then now they'll they'll also be
able to race for hats and race

398
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.759
for any other kind of uh special
items that we may be able to give

399
00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.359
out for MVPs and those kind of
things. And then we finish it off

400
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:47.640
with some uh multiple ice cream,
right ice cream popped and everything else.

401
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.680
So it's pretty cool. So let
me let me give you a quick compliment

402
00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.920
or take it one as one.
Uh, you or the swarmer. You've

403
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:59.119
a stud football player, NFL guy, kind of a tough guy. You

404
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.759
come back. Uh, you do
a lot of different things at the high

405
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.200
school level. Fantastic job. And
now you've fallen into this, into this

406
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.240
position, and you've done fantastically well. Uh. And I say that's because

407
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:14.720
over the spring game you had tons
of people here enjoying their time and in

408
00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:18.960
part because you brought them in.
Thank you. I appreciate that we're trying.

409
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.000
I think, Um, you know, when you look at the things

410
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:27.440
that coach Fish is done, He's
opened up the doors. Sorry, he's

411
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:33.160
he's opened up the doors for us
to to to come in with our community

412
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.319
and in our alumni community. He's
done those things that And and I think

413
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.519
when when people feel that that they're
welcome, more people will come. And

414
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:47.039
we still have some we still have
some work to do with our lump because

415
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.960
of the years of just having not
not having the doors open. But when

416
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:55.279
you look at the practices that we
have that are open from spring ball to

417
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.960
fall camp, when you look at, you know us, what we're trying

418
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.599
to do here, I think it's
it's a it's an easy seal, you

419
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.119
know what I mean, you know, and that seemed to be I mean

420
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.920
jedge Fish started doing that from day
one. If I recall, uh,

421
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.880
you know, remember we talked to
a couple of and you might have even

422
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:14.119
been one of them that we talked
to, uh, you know, right

423
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:15.839
after he got here. And people
are saying that he seems to be very

424
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.279
welcoming, he wants to see it, seems that he wants to get everybody

425
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.480
back. But over the last couple
of years he's actually done that, So

426
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:27.240
people aren't skeptical of that anymore.
Would you agree with that? Absolutely?

427
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.400
I think the one thing and you're
always gonna have the skeptics, right,

428
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.519
but I think there's one guy.
He always says, I see better than

429
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.880
I can hear it, right,
and and you're seeing it, um,

430
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:42.359
better than someone just telling you about
it, and and and and coach coming

431
00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:45.559
in and saying these are things I
want to do. And then he goes,

432
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.440
did I think these are kind of
the things that you see? Um.

433
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.000
You know, we have a we
have an event. We're going I'm

434
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:53.680
about to go pick Ricky Hunley up
and we're gonna do in Phoenix, and

435
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:57.000
we have some some some prominent alum
that are gonna be at this thing.

436
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:03.079
And it's it's the it's the inclusive
for Arizona wildcast but the you know,

437
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.839
but the opening of doors to our
community of Wildcat community and trying to bring

438
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:14.319
more people in. I think when
recruits and our teams see that, it

439
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:18.039
makes them even more inviting to our
public. So let me ask you of

440
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.039
all the people you had for springing
game, who was the coolest dude to

441
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.599
see you probably haven't seen in a
one on one? And too, who

442
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.480
was the most difficult guy to get
here? Who got here? Wow,

443
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:37.279
I'm gonna say the coolest that I
had that that was the first time I

444
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.240
had met this. I'm talking about
this year because I do him by year.

445
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:47.079
This year was gonna be h Bruce
Hill quarterbacks from the nineteen from the

446
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:52.920
seventies team, quarterback that seventy seventy
three wax champion team. I had never

447
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:55.680
met him, hadn't even read about
him. He's one of the you know,

448
00:29:55.759 --> 00:30:00.799
first African American quarterbacks h here at
University of Arizona and definitely um one

449
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.160
or the few in the nation at
that time. But to read the things

450
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:10.039
that he did as as his accomplishments
was incredible. So that was one of

451
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:14.000
the coolest. One of the hardest, I think to get here got to

452
00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:18.039
be he was, He's our captain. It's got to be. It's got

453
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.240
to be Chris McAllister. But yeah, uh, you know, it's hard

454
00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:25.400
to get in touch with him for
certain people. And you know, and

455
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:30.079
he's a great guy. I've known
him forever. Scenes like um, but

456
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.599
but you know, he hadn't been
in touched the soil of the University of

457
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.799
Arizona in a long time. So
that was one of the toughest to get

458
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:40.279
here. And and we got him
here, and that's that's a that's a

459
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:42.640
tribute to to our program and what
what we're trying to do. Yeah,

460
00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:45.759
those are two really great names of
guys that you know, because I mean,

461
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.000
I grew up here, right I
thought, you know, I was

462
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.079
sitting in the in the nod whole
section when when Bruce Hill was playing here

463
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:57.240
and just before were fascinated by that
guy. We talk about a rocket arm

464
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:02.279
and then of course Chris McAllister.
I saw the promo video that you guys

465
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:06.559
did promoing the the spring game,
and I'm like, he looks like he

466
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.440
could still play. I mean,
holy cow, and he was great on

467
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:11.359
the show. Yeah, we had
him on the show and he was awesome.

468
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:17.039
Oh yeah, yeah, he probably
could still play. So so,

469
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:18.960
um, you know, you've got
a summer, a lot of stuff to

470
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:22.720
do. You're gonna do these camps
and then in the meantime, guys are

471
00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.559
working and and uh getting ready for
I mean, it's it's gonna come up

472
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:30.359
quickly, right We're running out of
basketball, we're in baseball season, and

473
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.799
uh, football camp's gonna start pretty
quickly. Uh, there's gotta be a

474
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.759
lot of stuff going on around the
campus and around the football facility. I

475
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.119
think our our guys are are are
finishing up their breaks right now, and

476
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.960
uh they're excited. I see a
couple of guys you know, um here

477
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.279
in the morning's working working out right
now. It's like God's supposed to take

478
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:53.519
a bricky um where where where where? Uh, we're frosty right now.

479
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:57.279
I like I like the the group
that we have. I like the camaraderie

480
00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:02.240
that they that they've shown and bring
um and and I think that's the biggest

481
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:06.880
thing. I mean, there's no
such too far work so as as great

482
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:09.519
a feeling as we feel about coming
out of spring everything else. I think

483
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:14.200
our guys understanding, our staff understand
it's gonna take a lot of hard work

484
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.160
to get get where we're trying to
be. Well. Super Brandon, good

485
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.759
to talk to you, appreciate Hey, you need to take some time off

486
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.039
too, man, we'll feel We'll
figure that out. Man. I think

487
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.599
the biggest thing right now is I'm
telling you can hear them my voice.

488
00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:31.400
Man, I'm excited about I'm excited
about this, this, this, uh

489
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:35.240
this uh, the these camps.
Man. Yeah, I think we're doing

490
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.279
some things that would be very different. I can't speak on right now,

491
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:42.200
but I think you'll see it in
the product, and I'm excited. I'm

492
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:44.799
happy. I'm sure they keep you
young too. We should go by Jake

493
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:46.319
because we need to be young now. They'll wear me out, wear me

494
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:52.720

appreciate it. That was those Brendon centers

495
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:57.359

496

and Senator's one of my great sponsors.

497
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.480
Exactly. I love you all right, man, Hey, let's look at

498
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.279

We'll be joined us talk about their
big game coming up in a little bit

500
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:13.200
about their win last week, which
is pretty impressive, so we'll be right

501
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.319

basketball fan, you'd know it's been successful

502
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:19.759
for newly forty years. Now.
Take a look back at the Ludolson era

503
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.400
in my new book, Lessons from
Loot. It was a labor of love

504
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.880
through the eyes of twenty five former
players, coaches, and friends to give

505
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.200
insight to the coach and the man
who led them, competed against them,

506
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.440
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters
for his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved

507
00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:37.400
coach. Lessons from Loot is an
insight to how he built the program into

508
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:42.960
a national powerhouse. What one email

551
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.800
game on nice win last weekend.
Yeah, I appreciate it. That was

552
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.440
a big one in front of the
home proud So you know, Pat,

553
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.320
Pat Harrison and I were talking it
just seemed and you tell me, you

554
00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:59.480
know, because we know we kind
of sit on the side, but it

555
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:04.280
seemed like probably your most complete game
of the year. Everything worked for you

556
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:07.519
had some big special teams plays.
Your offense looked good, your defense you

557
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:12.760
had some stops. Ramon Atkins had
what I thought was his best game of

558
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.719
the year. But just tell us
if you how you came out of that

559
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:17.320
feeling about the things that you were
able to do in this game, and

560
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.519
the way you sort of put a
whole lot of stuff together, I felt

561
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:24.639
great. So a couple of things
I was saying, you know before last

562
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:29.079
week's game was, you know,
when you put a team together, sometimes

563
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.239
it don't happen on your time,
and as a coach, that's things you

564
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:36.119
gotta live with. But last week
was the first time this season that I

565
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.280
agree with you on that one.
That everything came together, especially teams click

566
00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:45.039
offense click was really efficient. We
had one hiccup the whole game as far

567
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:49.639
as not scoring a touchdown. Defense
came to play and did well help them

568
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:52.559
the forty two points. So everything
came together that game, and that was

569
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:57.280
a game that I wanted our players
to see facing a pretty good in the

570
00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:00.920
well coached ball club and two falls
heard us. I never agree with Jay,

571
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:07.360
So don't feel so bad. Hey. I did a story on the

572
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:09.840
ramone Atkins up a couple of weeks
ago. A very nice kid. And

573
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:14.840
I say this because he played at
a small school where I kind of grew

574
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:17.280
up, and I'm thinking, how
does this guy get out of there to

575
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:22.719
come here to be a pretty good
player at the at the indoor indoor league.

576
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:28.039
What's special about him? What do
you like about him? Just stick

577
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:30.760
with it, he poised. He's
persistent when it comes to um, you

578
00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:34.960
know, I'm figgering things out.
He won't quit. He won't give up,

579
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:37.480
no matter how much I give give
in on him, or how much

580
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:40.519
screen I put on him, or
hey, Ramon, you gotta come in

581
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.559
and meet somewhere with me. It
doesn't matter. Ramone is here for he

582
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:49.760
is up for every challenge. So
and I'm there basically to back him up

583
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:52.960
and as well as his teammates to
tell him to hold his head up in

584
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:57.400
any situation. So it was a
beautiful thing to see him come around last

585
00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:00.519
week, finally get comfortable in the
system that we're running here, and just

586
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:04.960
to come from where he was at
too now is a big thing for him.

587
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:07.599
And just to get eyes on this
kind of talent that he has and

588
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.800
continue to develop it is beautiful.
Well, well, let me ask you

589
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:15.440
that because I'd love, you know, I'd love for you to elaborate on

590
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:16.719
that, because you said, I
mean he had no picks. He ran

591
00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:20.679
the offense really well. He's very
efficient. He had had you know,

592
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.599
some turnovers in the in the previous
games and that you know, three game

593
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:27.079
losers, fick that you have.
What did click for him? What did

594
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:31.320
you see that he did different that
that that he didn't do in the other

595
00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:36.320
games where he had some troubles,
just some of the think. One of

596
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:39.280
the major keys for the last game
is he let the plays actually develop,

597
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:44.639
so before you know, he just
still his clock was sped up in his

598
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:47.360
mind, so he would rush the
ball out and that would not let you

599
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:52.360
know, receivers d what they're supposed
to be. Sometimes defenders don't even get

600
00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:55.320
in their drops enough for him to
distinguish coverage. So this game, I

601
00:39:55.400 --> 00:39:59.239
just told him, hey, how
about you just relax, have fun with

602
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:02.320
it, let the players develop,
and just get your feet set and you'll

603
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:06.760
be on time. So that was
the major difference. That's what everyone saw

604
00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:08.559
in this game. He was able
to just take his drop, set his

605
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:13.639
seat, let the players develop and
don't feel mentally rushed, and they came

606
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:15.440
out and they worked for him.
So he's get to be out of the

607
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:20.440
game this year. But in your
first year, now are you able to

608
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:23.000
have fun? Is still work or
you know, for the first half of

609
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:30.320
the season it's fun involved. Yet
the fun was involved throughout this whole process.

610
00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:32.559
Honestly, I wouldn't do this if
it wasn't for fun, if it

611
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:36.840
wasn't for helping young men, developing
young men on and off the field,

612
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.480
I wouldn't do this personally. So
it is fun. If you can ask

613
00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:44.280
any of our guys the locker room, the practice field, even when I

614
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:46.400
get on them in the midst of
that, it's still fun. We I

615
00:40:46.480 --> 00:40:50.559
still want our guys to play,
loose, to play, to have fun

616
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:53.400
with this. And one thing I
tell these gentlemen is to never let me,

617
00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:59.360
a fan, or anybody take their
joy and love they have away from

618
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:01.960
their games. That comes with,
you know, the times that we do

619
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:06.119
lose three games in a row.
So me and as well as them,

620
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:10.400
I demand that we actually had a
fun out there, just an observation heard

621
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:15.519
us and Steve. You know,
after that loss, the home loss,

622
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.280
that was your third straight loss,
you had it. You had a huge

623
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.119
smile on your face after that game, and I'm like, what's it smiling

624
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:24.840
about? They just got they just
lost at home. But uh, you

625
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:28.639
know, but then you know,
you had another big smile this uh,

626
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:30.880
you know, this last game after
beating uh, you know, after winning

627
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:34.639
that after beating Sioux Falls, which
you know, we made the point at

628
00:41:34.639 --> 00:41:37.119
the top of the broadcast Soux Falls
is like the Patriots of the IFL.

629
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.280
You got a million championships and stuff. So that was an impressive win.

630
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:45.199
I don't know how how much the
fans realized how impressive it was to beat

631
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:51.159
the Sioux Falls Storm. Yeah,
especially you know, they just really hit

632
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:53.559
their scribe. They're playing, you
know good. I actually got a call

633
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:58.719
from a couple of other coaches around
the league telling me like, hey man,

634
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:02.079
we thought that was gonna come down
to the wire as a nailbody.

635
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:07.079
Uh, y'all played pretty good.
So even you know, some times fans

636
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:10.440
don't know or aren't aware of situations
like that. But it is refreshing to

637
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:14.519
hear you Jay say that, because
a lot of people wouldn't to wear how

638
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:17.000
good they are and half been and
how well coached that team is. You

639
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:21.480
also played, Jake said without your
running back, right, Mike Jones,

640
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:27.000
So how did that affect the game? And a couple of things. So

641
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:30.440
you know, when it comes to
Mike Jones and Ben Jones, they you

642
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:34.599
know, Mike Jones has a little
bit more power and he's a little bit

643
00:42:34.599 --> 00:42:38.639
more crafty when it comes to finding
holes. When you talk about the run

644
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:42.599
game, Ben Jones is more so. But get it and go guy.

645
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:45.119
So you just kind of got to
tweak the run game a little bit.

646
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:51.360
When Mike Jones is not back there
will he be back Saturday? Yes,

647
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:53.159
he'll be playing this week. Okay. So you guys have the Bay Area

648
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:59.079
Panthers. The league is all bunched
up top to bottom. Two games separate

649
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.880
the entire Divisi. Your division of
the West Division, the Barrier Panthers are

650
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.840
five and three. You're four and
three at the bottom of the at the

651
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:08.039
bottom of the division, San Diego
and Duke City you are both three and

652
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:12.039
five. So it's all bunched up. Every game is a big game.

653
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.280
You beat these guys on the road
at their place. You know, how

654
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:19.199
does that play into what you gotta
do this week? Now that you gotta

655
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:23.920
make your place. We know that
they're gonna come in hungry, They're gonna

656
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:27.840
come they just be, you know, the number one team in the league.

657
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:30.679
They're the number two team in the
league. So they're gonna come into

658
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.920
this game really confident. They're probably
gonna look back at the game we played

659
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.679
them and seeing some mistakes that we
probably made when we played them, and

660
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:42.880
think they will exploct those mistakes coming
into this game. But we all were

661
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.719
in the situation. We know that
this is for you know, first place,

662
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:49.039
and we want to pound up those
wins on the front end of our

663
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.719
season now at this midway point,
so we're on the back end. You

664
00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.679
know, of course, how it
is, people are gonna be scrambling and

665
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:58.559
get in the playoffs late. We
just don't want to be one of those

666
00:43:58.559 --> 00:44:01.400
teams, right. We're very aware
of the situation. So we're gonna put

667
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:05.840
our best foot forward. Also,
so another big thing about to win this

668
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:08.039
last weekend was you guys had a
big crowd, biggest crowd of the year.

669
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:14.079
You know, probably impressed some people. I'm sure you're hoping that a

670
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:16.360
lot of those people who were there
maybe had never been there before and now

671
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:19.719
they're like, oh this is great, Like I get to come back.

672
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.440
How important was that or is that
on your mind ever at all? Thinking

673
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:27.480
about an opportunity like that when you
get a crowd like you had, Yes,

674
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.239
it's on my mind. I addressed
it to the team. I make

675
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:32.719
them aware of those things also,
just that it comes with the game.

676
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:37.400
It comes with the support with the
community. You know, just like you

677
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:39.119
know, we want to support of
the community. We want to put a

678
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:43.519
good product out there also, So
we were aware of it. I was,

679
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:45.320
and I made an announcement to the
coaches and players like, hey,

680
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.559
this is the time. Let's set
the tone for the remainder of the season.

681
00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:52.000
From a crowd standpoint, Let's give
them something to cheer on, something

682
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.239
to be excited about, and something
to come back and support the remainder of

683
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:59.360
the season. All right, one
last question, I want to ask you

684
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:02.400
about your defense. One of the
top defenses in the league. You know,

685
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:07.159
whether it's right or wrong, you've
got the reputations being an offensive coach,

686
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:12.079
you were the offensive coordinator last year. But you've got a very good

687
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:15.239
defense that it seemed to me to
be pretty stable. We see the same

688
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:19.199
guys out there week after week.
Tell us a little bit about how key

689
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:23.639
that's been for you guys. That's
huge. That's very huge. So when

690
00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:28.519
it comes from a communication standpoint on
the front end and the back end and

691
00:45:28.639 --> 00:45:32.320
from the linebacker, having that consistency
on the defense is huge because that also

692
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:37.719
comes with trust. When you got
consistency on the defensive end that comes with,

693
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:39.400
hey, I trust this guy to
do his job, so I can

694
00:45:39.440 --> 00:45:44.159
put more focus into doing my job. When you have guys in and out

695
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:46.599
every week, from a defensive standpoint, you feel like, hey, I

696
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:50.559
have to coach him up on the
field. After the coach give us a

697
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:52.599
call, I have to make sure
he's in the right position. So sometimes

698
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.320
that might take me out of my
position. So having that consistency is key,

699
00:45:57.639 --> 00:46:00.639
just on the defensive front and doing
like, Hey, if I if

700
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:04.000
I played with this guy a couple
of weeks and he goes inside, I

701
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:07.119
know, boom on third down he
might go inside, So now I won't

702
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:10.599
illegal twist whether versus I don't know
them. The guy he comes in this

703
00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:15.719
week and he does something I'm not
familiar with that can get hostilities that can

704
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:20.199
get us busted plays and big plays. But that consistency has been key and

705
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.039
I'm trying to keep it that way
up. So yeah, well, Hurnus,

706
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:24.519
well, appreciate your time, good
luck, and hope you get a

707
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:34.239
good crowd there. Okay, yeah, yeah, so that hernis, we

708
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:37.639
appreciate the time. Um, I'll
I'll see you on Saturday, right six

709
00:46:37.639 --> 00:46:40.960
o'clock. Bay Area Panthers at the
arena. I gotta get the fans out

710
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:47.800
there, right, sounds big hurts. Thanks, Okay, sounds a lot

711
00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:52.760
of enthusiasm with him. Huh,
I'm not lying. Okay. They they

712
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.440
lose, uh, you know,
a home game. It was a it

713
00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:59.559
was a tough loss. And yeah, you know, we we get him

714
00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:01.239
on camera at the end of the
game. He still had this big old

715
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.760
smile on his face and he felt
like, Okay, he's gonna go into

716
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:07.559
the locker room. I mean,
he's not gonna be happy, but as

717
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:08.639
he said, he's still trying to
get these guys to have fun. Because

718
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:13.440
if they're not having fun, then
it's it's not uh you know, it's

719
00:47:12.960 --> 00:47:16.119
it's tougher and they're in a bunch, you know. Again, as I

720
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:20.800
said, with the standis Bay Area
in northern Arizona. The team out of

721
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:24.159
Presscott are both five and three.
Sugar Skulls are four and three UM and

722
00:47:24.159 --> 00:47:28.840
then the Rattlers are four and four, but they got their quarterback back,

723
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:32.239
so they're they're we're gonna start here
from them. Vegas is four and four.

724
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.239
In San Diego and Duke City,
the Albuquerque team are three and five,

725
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:42.000
so that whole division. Division is
bump bunched up. Four teams make

726
00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:44.719
the playoffs and you want and you
want to be one of the top two.

727
00:47:45.159 --> 00:47:46.960
The host of games, it's a
it's a huge game on Saturday.

728
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:51.280
Okay, Okay, hope hopefully there's
a good crowd there. Yeah, and

729
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.440
we'll see what happens. So it's
a lot more fun when there is UM

730
00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:57.039
real quick getting back, so we
we didn't we didn't run through all the

731
00:47:57.039 --> 00:48:00.320
camps for uh uh the Jet Fishers
camps so as as Brandon Sanders said,

732
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:07.960
on June fourth, which is next
week, they've got their first UM high

733
00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:14.159
school camp. It's uh it's uh
June fourth, five to eight. You

734
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:17.320
can register and check in at four
UM it's forty five bucks. Then they

735
00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:22.639
have another one it's called a high
School Elite Prospect Camp. They have another

736
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:25.360
one of those on June eleven.
They've got a specialist camp. On June

737
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:30.400
eighth, they have a junior uh
No. The two youth camps. One

738
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:35.719
is June sixth under the lights.
Uh that's for first two fifth graders.

739
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:38.400
One is June twenty feet that's in
the morning. Then they got a junior

740
00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:43.559
junior high camp on June twenty first
also, and then there are seven on

741
00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:46.719
seven which that one might be fun
to, you know, to spectator a

742
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:51.440
little bit. Can you go I
wonder if you could go in you can

748
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:15.800

the only one that is sold out is

749
00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:23.280
the seven on seven team camp on
June twelfth, which is an evening camp,

750
00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:28.039
so that's under the lights, so
that's the most popular camp. Cool

751

cool, cool, okay stuff.

please do five two, four, one,

753
00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:37.639
six, seventy four forty before we
have a breaking news on the beginning

754
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:40.960
of the hour, and then we'll
have Randy as secta after that. Yeah.

755
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.920
So Celtics heat man, what are
you doing tonight? Anything? No?

756
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:49.719
Not touch you. I don't like
that series at all. Who's one

757
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.480
of the ESPN guys said that he's
celtinks Boston's gonna win the series, win

758
00:49:52.559 --> 00:49:55.559
the series. Yeah, one hundred
and fifty, one hundred and fifty zero.

759
00:49:55.960 --> 00:50:00.960
With with teams that have it's only
ever happened, but never any team

760
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.880
it's happened. It's happened one time
time the Red Sox beat Uh, yes,

761
00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:09.039
baseball, it's never happened in basketball. But um Celtics, fine to

762
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:14.719
say that seems like a lot.
Uh it's in Boston. Yeah, no,

763
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:16.440
I wouldn't touch any of that.
I'm just waiting for Denver. Come

764
00:50:16.480 --> 00:50:20.960
on, Denver, just kind of
taking a break, laying on the you

765
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.360
know, laying out by the pool
right now and having fun. Yeah.

766
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:27.440
Right. And the first thing that
people are gonna say, June June first

767
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:30.239
one they playne first June first.
They were rusty, and come on,

768
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.199
there's no such things. You know
what you get to this time of the

769
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:35.639
year. Every day off is a
good day. You know, you take

770
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:39.599
your rest and take time off and
yeah, and uh, people over analyzing

771
00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:43.280
things. I mean again, you
know it's a long season. Man.

772
00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:45.239
If you get some time off and
then you just get back on the court

773
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:47.559
and stuff, do you you know
that's what that's what you want to be

774
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:51.960
able to do. I'm sure they're
not complaining about the days off, worried

775
00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.599
that they're gonna get worried that they're
gonna get rusty. Sure noways all right,

776
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:00.079
okay, so what else, Steve? Um? That's that's it's at

777
00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:01.599
least for a while. Um.
See, well, I'm looking forward to

778
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:05.000
your breaking news because I know what
you're gonna have for at least a couple

779
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:07.360
of other things. A whole bunch
of stuff, a lot of good stuff.

780
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:10.760
There's some some some interesting stuff,
some some memorabilia stuff that I'd be

781
00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:15.480
interested to get to. George's opinion
on what it's a really interesting sale that

782
00:51:15.519 --> 00:51:20.079
took place today. Okay, you
know what is it? Well? No,

783
00:51:20.239 --> 00:51:22.840
no, I'm gonna tell him,
um to give us a call.

784
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.280
Do you have a lot of stuff? Uh? The reason why if he

785
00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:29.440
can maybe give us a quick call
and whatever you say. Karl Malone sold

786
00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:34.719
a bunch of Olympic Dream Team gear. Okay, so that's collected, don't

787
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:37.239
say anymore. I'm gonna try to
reach out, maybe give us a quick

788
00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:39.880
call. So he made a lot
of money off of it. When you

789
00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:43.719
think about what, you know,
what he did to get it because he

790
00:51:44.280 --> 00:51:46.039
you know, he was part of
that team. So it's it's a very

791
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:51.639
interesting story. But yeah, so
um, a bunch of stuff there.

792
00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:54.880
But uh, you know, I
continue to be fascinated by all of that,

793
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:59.119
and I've never been a believer that
all that thing, that stuff holds

794
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.320
value, but apparently does right,
And it's the thing is my problem is

795
00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:05.840
I keep on to it too long, and then by the time it's but

796
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:12.920
time, I you know, it's
not value too much for your jeans.

797
00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:16.760
I hear you, man, I
hear you. Okay, let's uh,

798
00:52:16.880 --> 00:52:21.159
let's go and take our our first
break of the day, our next break

799
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:22.039
of the day. I should say, um, we're gonna come back.

800
00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:24.920
We got breaking news. And then
Randy said, we'll talk about run two

801
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:29.760
sons and their event this falling conjunction
with the twenty two. Soon we got

802
00:52:29.960 --> 00:52:34.199
I think the real interesting conversation too
coming up about ESPN. So okay,

803
00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:38.320
so stick around for all of that. We've got some good stuff coming
