All right, So, 6 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.640 as we kind of talked about earlier, the Arizona Bowl now has a 7 00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.039 new sponsor. It's Snoop Dogg and Doctor Dre's company, Gin and Juice. 8 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.039 It's a Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl, Jin and Juice and obviously named after a 9 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:43.479 song from nineteen ninety three. Obviously they have never heard. Obviously, it's 10 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.079 actually was that obvious to you, Steve, Well, I knew I knew 11 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.159 that. I knew that on the bike coming into the bike. Yeah him 12 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:56.359 in Dre Yeah yeah. But yeah. So it's actually the first NCAA sanctioned 13 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.000 bowl sponsored by an alcohol right beverage. This is what we've come to, 14 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.760 Jay, I mean, now casinos are getting involved with spongship, good Booze 15 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.959 and whatever else sports books and with uh now with kind of like the other 16 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.159 stuff that he kind of does well well, Steve, I mean it's opened 17 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:19.799 the door, you know to a whole new I don't know, revenue stream 18 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.000 for the you know, for bulls and and sponsorships and stuff like that, 19 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.280 because now you can bring these guys in and nobody could remember it was back 20 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.560 in probably twenty years ago and maybe maybe not that long, but club that 21 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:38.000 there was a the u of the field, Arizona's field was gonna be like 22 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.439 football field. It's gonna be like casino Dell soul Field or something like that. 23 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.200 And people in this town lost their minds and it never happened. And 24 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.959 that was money that you know, Arizona thought there, and you know, 25 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.159 and people are gonna be upset and n C Double A was gonna be upset 26 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.640 that there was a casino was going to be and it was before any sports 27 00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:57.439 batting or anything, but it was just you know, casino Del Solder does 28 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.200 you know. And people were upset that the field at Arizona Stadium was going 29 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.920 to have a casino logo. So it never happened. And I was like, 30 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.240 don't you wish No, it's well survival, yeah, financially well you 31 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.840 know, and yeah, and exactly that. Look I I worked with, 32 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.879 I worked with the Copper Bowl slash Insight dot combole. It was so hard 33 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.840 to go get a title sponsor. Yeah, the hardest thing in the world 34 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.520 to go get a title sponsor, because you're asking a company to commit usually 35 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.439 you know, back then a million, two million dollars over five years or 36 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:31.400 whatever. I don't know what they're getting, you know, for this, 37 00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:37.520 if it's half a million year or whatever. But to pry that money out 38 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.560 of somebody is a very hard thing to do. So you got to give 39 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.400 it to Arizona Ball And we'll talk to Kim Adair, the executive director coming 40 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.199 up to the next segment one about how hard it is but to this new 41 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:52.879 avenue, this new place that there's money available then and that's taking advantage of 42 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.319 it. And in the Arizonaballs case, been very innovative. So there were 43 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.759 a lot of people who didn't like the Barstool Sports sponsorship. It was incredibly 44 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.000 in a vative, you know, it was different, it was fresh, 45 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.879 right, and this is too you know, the Snoop Dog. I mean, 46 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.560 yeah, there was a Jimmy Kimmel Las Vegas Bull but yeah, Okay, 47 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.240 Jimmy Kimmel's not really in this, like yeah right right, Snoop Dogg 48 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:19.520 is there's I mean, there's a following there, a demographic there, you 49 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.800 know, from you to Martha Stewer fans even but I mean my son who's 50 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.599 thirty, right, yeah, you know, I mean they're capturing a demographic 51 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.240 that those guys, my son and his buddy's on the text that they were 52 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.439 excited as hell. They thought it was the coolest thing. Yeah. I 53 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.039 mean, that's that he released where he said he's taking his talents Arizona was 54 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:38.680 really cool. Yeah. So you know, here we are, Steve and 55 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.080 I you know, uh, I mean, wouldn't have one foot in the 56 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.360 grave or anything. But we're you know, we're not the demographic anymore. 57 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.599 Here's the problem. Well, I wouldn't say what the problem is. Yeah, 58 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.639 well what do you mean? Well, because because you I'll say this. 59 00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.080 Okay, So it's the demographics. So the young kids love it. 60 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.319 Let's see how many young kids go to the game. They might not go 61 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.199 to the game, they may watch the game. Well you know what I'm 62 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.800 saying. Make go ahead, Hi, you're on the air and eye on 63 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:10.400 the ball. Hey, I just that that that Bowl game is going to 64 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:14.360 keep a lot of kids in town that usually go out of town to watch 65 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.000 the basketball game. So I think it's gonna help our basketball team. It 66 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.319 could, but I think more of the name. If Snoop Dogg is going 67 00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.000 to be at the game, if he's going to be doing events and stuff 68 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.319 like that, there's gonna be people coming to see that. I want to 69 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:30.959 know if he's gonna have a concert, buddy, Oh yeah, yeah, 70 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:35.959 no, I'm just thinking basketball wise is going to keep the kids in town 71 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:41.519 wanting to not give up their seats for the winter game. You're talking to 72 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.800 school kids, students, Well yeah, well, actually the thing there is 73 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.639 that they they the the between Christmas games that students don't get. They don't 74 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:55.800 get those seats as part of the student season tickets. They might ask their 75 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.959 rich parents. Yeah yeah, I still want my seat to the game because 76 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.480 that's usually our people's only chance, uh to get to see some games. 77 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.439 So they gonna hop on that quick. Yeah, you're that's a good that's 78 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.279 a really good point. And he has a concert like a halftime for like 79 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.480 a twenty minute thing. Yeah yeah, it'll be mega. Yeah, you're 80 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.160 right, good call. Thank you no good, that's a good call. 81 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.279 I mean against Steve, they're you know, they're gonna, you know, 82 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.639 we're gonna stick around. My point was the kids going to the games. 83 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.839 They may don't think it's happy and fun, but okay, they watch it 84 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.120 because it doesn't evolve in Arizona. It's right, Tim Buck two, Tim 85 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.040 Buck two. Right. So but but as you said, if if let's 86 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.759 say he's going to come and do a twenty minute performance at the tailgate or 87 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.560 or halftime or his buddy's right or whatever, or he's just gonna be walking 88 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.839 around at the tailgate or whatever, people are gonna want to come and be 89 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.439 a part of that. And so I it's you know, we'll talk more 90 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:53.519 with about this with Kim. But I think I it's a really really to 91 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.040 me, really smart move on their part to get to get some interest. 92 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.279 I mean everybody. I mean, there are a lot of people talk about 93 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.839 on social media, national people talking about it. I really agree with you 94 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.000 saying it's it's fresh, and I think it is. It's I think to 95 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.600 make it cool. I think I think the whole fact he fits with Arizona's 96 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:15.079 campus. It's different than him being how old is Hei the reason why he's 97 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.759 an old dude who still still has that group of demographics. Yeah, yeah, 98 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.480 he kind of does cover the entire scope of the spectrum. There snoop 99 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.040 Dog is fifty two years old, so he's not young. He's not old, 100 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.839 but he's not young. Middle aged, one might say. Clark Candiotti 101 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.040 has been named the Pack twelve Picture of the Week after a complete game shoutout 102 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.360 over Stanford this past weekend. He was throwing babies. I got the tail 103 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.120 end of that game. He was throwing gas. He was still throwing gas 104 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.160 at the end. Again, we had that conversation. We talked to Michael 105 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.160 Levin. He said he's not their best picture that the Friday Night guy has. 106 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.360 But Ken, I'm yeah, I've been really every time I've seen Clark 107 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.279 Candiotti throw, he's been throwing. He's throwing well, so I'm I'm his 108 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:04.439 sort of his momentum comment. Steve has I'll let them use the word out 109 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:11.920 of content. What do you call that irresponsible? It's not where no one 110 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.639 ever uses out irresponsible. There's a word out there that's I'll come up with. 111 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:19.160 So Arizona's men's tennis team, number nine in the nation, has secured 112 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.199 it spot in the sweet sixteen of the n CUAA Championships this past Saturday, 113 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:28.519 after they swept number twenty four Auburn for nothing. And the sweet sixteen spot 114 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.279 is the third for the Wildcats in the last four seasons, right, and 115 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.560 they're going to Colombia to play on Saturday. It's ten o'clock in the morning 116 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.639 Tucson time. They're twenty six and three. I mean, that's a that's 117 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.560 a hell of a record for it for a tennis team. They're the number 118 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.360 nine seed, so well, we'll see how that how that goes. But 119 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.480 yeah, they're, uh, you know, they're let's see what Columbia's the 120 00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:53.800 eight seed. So interesting. So it's sweet sixteen. It's a it's a 121 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.160 sixty fourteen bracket, so they're trying to get to the Elite eight. If 122 00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.920 they win, they would play the winner of Ohio State, who's the number 123 00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:03.439 one one seed in the region and or number one seed in the tournament, 124 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.000 and the sixteenth seed Mississippi State. So the winner of that place winner of 125 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.879 Arizona clumbiame. Former San Diego State offensive lineman Jonah Rodriguez also has committed to 126 00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:18.079 Arizona. We learned. Just like today, we have his his his vitals, 127 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.720 his vitals. Let me pull up, let me see, let me 128 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.319 see his blood work here, six four and seventy five pounds. Three star 129 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.879 prospect in the twenty twenty three class. Yeah, big boy. And he's 130 00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:35.600 how mean years of eligibilities does he have left? But we know he picked 131 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.600 stsu over offers for a variety of schools in twenty twenty one. Okay, 132 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.200 So so he played twenty twenty one, twenty two, and twenty three or 133 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.759 three more years of at least at least at least one maybe two. So 134 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.559 there you go. All right, Look, you always need big boys like 135 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.799 that. They're not a diamond dozen the line lines win championships. I mean, 136 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.799 we just watched Michigan have dominant offensive end, defensive lines and walk through 137 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:05.759 to Tames. Rudy Gobert is questionable tonight. Uh for personal reasons. People 138 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.039 believe that it's due to the birth of his his his son. Oh and 139 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.720 so but there's optimism. I know, there's a there's a reporter out of 140 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.720 Minnesota that tweeted that the baby boy was delivered this morning, and there's optimism 141 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.960 that because it was delivered, So early that he can play tonight. Are 142 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.000 they playing in Minnesota tonight? It is in Denver? And I don't think 143 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.879 jump on a jump on a jumper the jet, go ahead, go ahead. 144 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:35.159 I see draft Kings being down with it right now. Well I checked 145 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.080 earlier. Plus I think, oh yeah, with the money line for the 146 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.159 tim Wolves is like plus two fifty right now. Yeah, So pat Riley 147 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.639 has had a lot to say after After Jimmy Butler was kind of mocking the 148 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.879 Celtics saying that things would be different if he was healthy, pat Riley kind 149 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.000 of insinuated, you know, be quiet. If you're gonna play, then 150 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.639 you can play. But if you're gonna sit on the bench, I don't 151 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.039 want to hear you talking about how would have been different. But he also 152 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.759 said Tyler Hero needs to you know, if he's going to be a big 153 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.759 part of this team, he needs to actually be on the court as well. 154 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.519 So pat Riley was not holding back this past weekend when it came to 155 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.799 his players unavailable during the playoffs. Yeah, well, you know, yeah, 156 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.879 go after pat Riley. He's not done much in the NBA, right, 157 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.960 I mean, I don't know. I like pat Riley when he talks 158 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.559 like that, because it's it's rare that you get a guy put these guys 159 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.399 that much like right, you're not you know you really you think you're somebody, 160 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.320 you're not exactly right. And I like that. You know, we 161 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.519 had the Patrick Beverley conversation on Friday where you know, I would be all 162 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.440 for not letting that guy ever play in the NBA again. You'll get something, 163 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.080 yeah, sugar, it a lot. Texans owner Tom McNair says that 164 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.000 the wide receiver Tank Dell will make a full recovery from his gunshot wound he 165 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.720 suffered a couple of weeks back. Okay, wow, and I know that 166 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.039 I heard about it. Hear about that. Yeah, so he was caught 167 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.879 in like a crossfire somewhere there was a shooting and he had like hitting the 168 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.519 thigh.

Yeah, we're really excited about that. You know. Creating 310 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:51.440 all this terrific visibility for Southern Arizona and our community is certainly something we always 311 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.240 are trying to spotlight and and it happened today. I mean, we're just 312 00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:00.160 so thrilled about this new sponsorship, this new presenting sponsor. It's just an 313 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.200 incredible day for us today. Tell us a little bit about how this came 314 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.839 together, because you know, Steve and I were talking and you know, 315 00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:10.279 I'm a I'm a veteran of the old you know, copper bowl inside dot 316 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.640 com bol committees, and I know how hard it is to squeeze money out 317 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:18.240 of people. I know, I know it's a different era, a different 318 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.839 time right now. But how does something like this come together that is one 319 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.799 unusual let's call it unusual, but a better word for it, I think 320 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.960 is incredibly innovative. For you guys, How did this come together? Thank 321 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:34.240 you? So, you know, after we did our barstool deal, we 322 00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.119 earned, you know, a reputation of being open and out of the box 323 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.799 and kind of risk takers. And when we started the search for a new 324 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.440 title sponsor, we worked with the consultants and they understood this about us and 325 00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.559 knew that, you know, basically everything was on the table. Let's try 326 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:57.440 to figure out the most innovative approach to this sponsorship. And someone on that 327 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:03.880 team had a relationship with death Row Records and they made an introduction and a 328 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:10.960 day later we were on the phone with the president of death Row and immediately 329 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.599 she got it. She loved it. She could see how new passions could 330 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:19.640 be integrated into everything they do. And then at the Super Bowl they have 331 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:27.359 just launched been induced by Jerian Snoop canned Ready to Drink beverage, and we 332 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.680 invited them into the party. I was able to get, you know, 333 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.839 for the first time approval from our conferences in the NCAA to bring in an 334 00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:41.519 alcoholic beverage beverage as a presenting sponsor. And you know, every step of 335 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.240 the way, it's like, can we do it? Can we do it? 336 00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:45.839 Here we are? We did it, and it was It's been an 337 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.079 awesome It's been an awesome journey. There's no question. I think you guys 338 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:52.680 think out of the box with with with Ali yourself. When did not the 339 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.720 aha moment, but did you kind of like raise your eyebrows when they first 340 00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:00.839 came to you and said, oh, this is boss building and thinking hmmm, 341 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:06.160 I think this could work. When they raised it, I was like, 342 00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.240 absolutely, get it done. Get me on the phone with them. 343 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.279 I would love it. I just think it would be so amazing. Everybody 344 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.480 knows, like, you know, first of all, Stupid's an icon in 345 00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:18.759 music and entertainment and pop culture. He has this huge love of college football, 346 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.400 right many people know that. You know, this summer, he is 347 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:26.440 the face of the Olympics for NBC. He's doing the opening and closing ceremonies 348 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:33.240 and all the athletes interviews. He's you know, he's an icon. And 349 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:38.440 having him involved with our game and having him really embrace what we're doing as 350 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.400 a game, you know, the pieces of it, and then wanting to 351 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:48.000 even elevate that it's super excited, super exciting. I mean, it's just 352 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.680 been a joy to put this together and share it with our community. So 353 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.240 so you've got you've got a name like this that you know, everybody recognized, 354 00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:57.880 even you know, two old guys like Steve and I. You know, 355 00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.240 we all know who's knew. What's this going to do for you? 356 00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:06.000 Not only you know, with the local community in terms of you know, 357 00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.440 more sponsorships, more attention, more, but nationally and when I could would 358 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:18.799 there be some blowback because of who he is. Right, So what it 359 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.519 does for us is you're exactly right. It puts us really at a national 360 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:29.519 level as far as sponsorships coming through, Like we've already been approached by by 361 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.359 a lot of national sponsorships, just sponsors just today who want to be involved. 362 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.319 It also helps us, I think from a fan at standpoint, you 363 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.640 know, people are excited to come here and see their teams play, but 364 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.079 there's now an extra motivation for them to make the ship to Tucson and then 365 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:52.480 to activate fans both in Arizona and around Arizona to come and have this experience 366 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:59.480 at the University of Arizona with the Snoopdog Arizona Bowl. So it just is 367 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:03.000 going to hands everything that we're doing and just put more butts and seats. 368 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.039 More butts and steeps means more money for charity, right, and that's what 369 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:11.599 it always comes down to. So now is there barstools also your you know, 370 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:17.079 your your TV contract. Is there something in place there or what's what's 371 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.839 going on with that? And if you're working on that, how does this 372 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:29.759 help that? Yeah, So we have a national linear broadcast partner that we 373 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:33.799 are just finalizing a contract with. We couldn't get it done in time to 374 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:36.759 make it for this announcement, So there will be another announcement here in the 375 00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:41.240 next week or two detailing who that TV partner is. But I can tell 376 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.759 you one of the you know, exciting things about what we're doing is that 377 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.200 Noop will likely be in the broadcast boots for the game, so either part 378 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.319 of it or all of it. He'll be the color commentator, which is 379 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.319 going to be fantastic. It's going to make this one of the most watched 380 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:02.160 games outside of maybe this you know, the CSP play. It's just gonna 381 00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:04.559 be really fun, really innovative. He's got a terrific perspective. You've got 382 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.720 excellent at it if you've seen him do it in other places. Like I 383 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.960 said, he's doing a lot of this for the Olympics this summer, and 384 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:17.839 he's going to be a fan favorite. So oh, my question before you 385 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.599 came on was maybe he'll even have a concert with maybe some of his buddies. 386 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.559 I think. I think everything is on the table, Steep, you 387 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.640 know, bringing music and elevating this whole thing is part of the plan, 388 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:36.279 and we're excited to start, you know, now that we're the announcement stage 389 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:40.279 of this, we're excited to start putting together the details and that will definitely 390 00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:45.119 include you know, musical guests and special special surprises. I think, okay, 391 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:52.559 I'll put that in the neither could confer or deny this song. This 392 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.720 is so this is so cool for two songs. Because he's been here a 393 00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.400 number of times, this is kind of like a spot for him. Yeah. 394 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.400 Yeah, he's really a fan of youth on and you know, he 395 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.599 has this youth football league that he has in LA. It's like the biggest 396 00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:10.200 one. He's had sixty thousand kids go through that youth football league. He's 397 00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:15.279 got forty kids in the NFL and street kids I went through that program are 398 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:18.480 on the team at the University of Arizona. So he got a soft flat 399 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:23.440 for Arizon. He loves Tucthson and you know he's excited to be here and 400 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:29.480 it's just a quick flight from LA all right. So you guys have really 401 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:33.200 got to put your thinking hats on right to figure out the way to make 402 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.039 the most out of all of this. And I'm sure that there's some thoughts 403 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.119 and ideas that you haven't even come up with, right, I mean, 404 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:42.200 what's that going to be like for you guys going in? You know, 405 00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.160 going into the game, you've got a lot of time, but sometimes you 406 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.440 don't depending on what you want to put together. What's that going to be 407 00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:53.319 like for you all? It's one of the you know, my favorite parts 408 00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:56.440 of the job, Jay, is that I get to come up with all 409 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:02.000 these work with people and come up with these creative of any fun, exciting 410 00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:04.960 ideas. And you know, with a platform like this with Snoop and Gin 411 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:10.440 and Juice Viberiant Snoop involved, it's it's really the sky's the limit, our 412 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.720 imagination is our is our limit here, and so we're really excited to be 413 00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:19.039 able to, you know, put Gin and Juice Viberiants Snoop on the map, 414 00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.640 which is a new breadth beverage. A lot of people haven't heard of 415 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.880 it. It just launched it at the super Bowl. It's fantastic. I 416 00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:30.319 have never had gin before, and I am like, I'm a true fan 417 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.640 of this stuff. Now I'm I'm typically a vodka drinker, but man, 418 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:41.279 I'm in on a delicious and so it's really exciting to be able to put 419 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.359 our sinking hats on and figure out ways to elevate all of us throughout this 420 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:52.119 process. And I've already had so many calls some local restaurants and bars and 421 00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.039 just you name it, saying we want to get this in our in our 422 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.400 bar so that we can start supporting them and promoting the bull. So we're 423 00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.200 excited about that. So you've kept us under the wraps for how long? 424 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:11.200 And how difficult was that? Oh god, it's probably been the most challenging 425 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.960 thing of my life. Can you imagine not being able to help people that 426 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:21.759 you're talking with Snoop? So yeah, we've been working. You know, 427 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:29.000 we've been talking with Nuop and death Row since about October. Nup's representatives along 428 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:32.599 with master P. His good friend master P came to our game, did 429 00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.720 check it all out and see what it was was like, and Snoop was 430 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:42.000 being facetimed and being shown everything live, so you know, they loved the 431 00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:45.599 experience and we all knew kind of right away that we were needed to figure 432 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.119 out a way to make it all work. And so it's been it's been 433 00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.960 something that was been working hard on and oh my gosh, today's a great 434 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:56.839 day. The best Monday of my life, I think we're talking became a 435 00:29:56.880 --> 00:30:03.039 Dare Executive Doctor of the Now. Snoop Dog Arizona Bowl presented by Gin and 436 00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.200 Juice and Doctor Dre and Snoop and something like that. Yeah, I got 437 00:30:07.200 --> 00:30:12.440 most of it right. So is there now we know we have the date 438 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.680 of the game right, but do you do you have a time for the 439 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.559 game yet or is that gonna Could that change when you get your TV thing 440 00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:23.920 done? So the game will be December twenty eighth, and I think kickoff 441 00:30:23.920 --> 00:30:27.720 will be around two thirty pm local time, which is which is where we've 442 00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:30.720 been kicking off, you know, the last few years. So that's a 443 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:37.440 Saturday two thirty great time and date. We expect seventy two degree weather. 444 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.839 Just kidding, but it should be a great time all round. Okay, 445 00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:45.319 I have one. I have an idea. Just hit me. It just 446 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.279 it was just one of those lighting boats that hit me. You get Snoop 447 00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:55.559 Dog to ride the taco down on the taco drop. He's like waving a 448 00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.440 cowboy hat or something, riding it like a bucking bronco all the way to 449 00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.200 the ground. Jay, he doesn't have enough meat on him to come down 450 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.920 to talk. I'm just saying, right, you just have him like sitting 451 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.920 on the taco coming down and and he's on the he's part of the drop. 452 00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:14.799 There you go, Could you tell mething's possible to everything possible? Could 453 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.359 you tell that came from an old man who doesn't know any Snoop Dogg songs? 454 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.240 But I do know tacos. Yeah, there's that. There's that. 455 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.799 Yeah, you can. You can appeal to a lot of the younger crowd 456 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.079 obviously because of who he is. What about the older class, older guys 457 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.000 like Jay and and myself, even though I kind of know him or is 458 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.079 that a problem? Probably not even an issue. No, I think Snoop 459 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.680 crosses all demographics. I mean people are fans of his, you know, 460 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:47.079 of all ages, which is really exciting. And you know, the Gin 461 00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.960 and Juice song that that nuke created thirty years ago is really coming back around 462 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:55.480 again. There's different versions of it. Uh On Sinco Demayo. They just 463 00:31:55.519 --> 00:32:01.160 released a mariachi version of Juice a week before the country music artist released a 464 00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:06.359 how you know, a country music version of it. And I think there's 465 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:13.039 a couple more versions this will come, which really crosses all types of demographics 466 00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:16.839 and barriers, and so it's really exciting to see see that. I think 467 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.400 that he's widely popular from you know, teams all the way up to people 468 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:25.960 our age, well, Kim. You hit a home run. Everybody there 469 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:30.839 hit a home run. So we look forward to it. We'll talk to 470 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.039 you more. Yeah, it'll be fun to see this thing come together. 471 00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.079 Well, we'll see you on December twenty eighth. Well, thank you, 472 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:42.400 thank you, Kim.

Well, I tell you that the minute I heard of it, 475 00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:51.400 and you know again on a on a text ed with with my son and 476 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.680 some of his buddies, I said, that's you know.

I got to tell 555 00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:22.719 I was sick. For those out there who care, don't care. The 556 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:30.519 neuro virus is what I had, and it was it's that awful stomach the 557 00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:36.519 virus that you get and it's just a violent, violent for yeah, for 558 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:40.119 for twenty four hours, you just go, you just go. It's go 559 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.679 time in every different direction. And then then it takes a couple of days 560 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:49.800 to recover from that. But it's incredibly contagious and all four of the people 561 00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:52.920 in my house got it. And my son, who's not in our house, 562 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.440 he started he got it first, and then the four of us all 563 00:38:55.480 --> 00:39:01.559 got my wife and my two daughters, and so from Tuesday through Friday afternoon, 564 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:07.079 it was death in our house. You just didn't want to be there. 565 00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:12.480 Okay, there you go. I mean, more information than you need. 566 00:39:12.480 --> 00:39:14.239 But when I was, you know, I was on the show from 567 00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:16.280 home on Friday, and my daughter was in the in the in the back 568 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:19.880 room wretching while we were on the while we were on the air. So 569 00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.519 that good that we didn't hear that. Good. She went to the fire 570 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.920 bathroom to make sure you didn't hear it. I mean she she literally thought 571 00:39:25.920 --> 00:39:29.159 of that. She said, I I don't want them to hear me. 572 00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.000 Yeack, you know my dad show. So she went, so she went 573 00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:34.840 into the fire bathroom so we couldn't hear her. I didn't know it until 574 00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:37.760 afterwards. But that was my week last week, Steve, How was yours? 575 00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:39.639 This is fine? It was fine, No big deal. There's another 576 00:39:39.800 --> 00:39:44.639 day, the life of coming here, working, working my butt off. 577 00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:45.719 Here we go get a call. All right, let's take this call. 578 00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:52.960 Aight, you're on the air and eye on the ball. Yeah, man, 579 00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:57.360 Jay, how do you get this disease? Man? You you get 580 00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:00.559 around somebody who's got it so uh that or who's about to have it. 581 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:05.079 So that's how it's it's just spreads. Me. Let me say something. 582 00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:09.079 I think the happiest man in Tucson with the Arizona Bowl is Nico Nico. 583 00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:14.679 Do you hear about that first voice? Yeah? Hey man, I missed 584 00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:22.320 the segment. You just smoking a giant endorsed by Nico the Snoop dogg Arizona 585 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:27.239 Ball Nico, He's gonna be on like real TV. Yeah, we don't 586 00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:29.960 know yet, but it looks like yeah, they're they're they're finishing up their 587 00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.960 contract. But uh yeah, Snoop's going to be here for the Bowl game. 588 00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:37.480 Hey man, he has a show at half time, show up at 589 00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.719 half time and then that's what that's. Let me ask you something. Do 590 00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:45.639 you think it's going to be a hit because of who he is or because 591 00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:51.320 he's not what represents But guys like you, younger guys, what are you 592 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.280 kind of feeling a demographic? Yes, of course you're one of our youngest 593 00:40:54.320 --> 00:41:00.519 listeners, you and Gabe. I'm feeling tireeted. But yes it will work. 594 00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.840 Okay. See that's all I needed to know. I am putting you 595 00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.880 in the corner. So nobody puts Nico into the corner. Just Jeva, 596 00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:14.440 what's up? Man? Did you have to say it on like one of 597 00:41:14.440 --> 00:41:21.320 those little blow up Nico that's for hamorrhids. I don't have that in a 598 00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:29.159 demographic I needed. I needed k pads, Nico, I needed pads. 599 00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:34.800 That's what I needed. That's sorry, Sorry, sorry about that. Thanks 600 00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:39.199 for calling that. Well. I think Nico will be a fan of the 601 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:43.960 Year Arizona. I think Nico is gonna get a ticket. Yeah for sure. 602 00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:46.559 Yeah, I mean Nikos a fan. Anyways. I don't know if 603 00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:49.800 you could go to the airontle ball anyways, but he will go to this. 604 00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:52.440 His dad will have to take him. That will have to take him, 605 00:41:52.480 --> 00:41:57.400 supervisor supervising. Yeah, go get out of the car. Hi, 606 00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:00.440 you're on the air and Hine on the ball. Blair, first time, 607 00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:07.039 long time, appreciate it. It was Colin, what what are we gonna 608 00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:09.679 do to get more people out to Arizona baseball? This is probably our best 609 00:42:09.679 --> 00:42:15.800 team we've had in five or six years for regular season or at least the 610 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.320 twenty twelve, and I mean we get a decent crowd, but we got 611 00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:23.239 a huge series coming up, not only this weekend in Utah, but in 612 00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:28.159 two weeks against Oregon State, which will probably be for the regular season championship. 613 00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:31.320 So blurr. Do you go frequently? I do my wife and I 614 00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:34.840 try to hit two out of the three games. Okay, So tell me 615 00:42:34.880 --> 00:42:38.679 what do you see? What's the tennis like? Well, I know we 616 00:42:38.679 --> 00:42:43.760 were just shy of ten thousand for the series this weekend, so I think 617 00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:49.159 I think we there was like thirty nine hundred Friday night, thirty six hundred 618 00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.159 Saturday night, and I think they had like twenty seven or twenty eight hundred 619 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:57.440 yesterday. You know, Blair, you know, you know how the fans 620 00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:00.920 are here. You win, they usually come out. But I think I 621 00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:04.360 think baseball is part of it. I think is maybe you know, they 622 00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.400 got a little bit of a slow start and people didn't realize that these guys 623 00:43:07.480 --> 00:43:10.320 could be really really good. But they've been really really good for a while 624 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:13.760 now, so I don't know, you know, I know, you know, 625 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:15.679 I mean, I've gone on to a couple of games. I love 626 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:21.760 watching watching Clark Candiotti pitch. I love watching him pitch, but I think, 627 00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:24.079 uh, you know, it's the last you know, Oregon State people 628 00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:28.440 got to realize Oregon State's a big series that you know, they're they're huge. 629 00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:30.159 So I don't know, you just keep talking about it and you know 630 00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:34.480 what, we're gonna try and get Chip on you know before that. But 631 00:43:35.039 --> 00:43:38.000 you know, just uh, I don't know, I don't know beyond that. 632 00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:40.920 So so what do you think? So they got what you said ten 633 00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:45.599 thousand ish? What do you how many more could you get there? Maybe 634 00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:49.440 a day? What's what's it tendance? Five thousand? No, they get 635 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.760 more than that. I mean when I went to in twenty twelve when we 636 00:43:52.880 --> 00:44:00.159 hosted the region and then the Super Regional, they were getting like that an 637 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:04.559 eight thousand fans and instead of you know, at High Corbett. Yeah, 638 00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:07.719 I think if that happens again, you'll get that. Yeah, but not 639 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:09.960 now. I mean, I think four thousand is a good crowd, but 640 00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:13.880 you'd like to see more, especially for a team that has been this good, 641 00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:16.679 and it's been this good for you know, the entire conference season. 642 00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:21.039 So uh, you know, I keep talking about it, keep plugging it, 643 00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:22.559 and we you know, we talk about it plenty here because I loved 644 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:27.559 it. Look that, as they say, there's a sunset at the at 645 00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.800 the at High Corvett on the night of the UFA baseball game is as good 646 00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:35.480 as it gets out there. So yeah, with the palm trees and the 647 00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:37.199 palm trees and all that in the background, right, can't beat it, 648 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:39.920 right, you can't. You can't. So hey, keep going and we'll 649 00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:44.079 we'll try and drum up some more crowds for you. All right, Thanks 650 00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:47.079 guys, thank you, thanks for calling, Thanks for calling the first time, 651 00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:52.960 first long time. No, there really isn't. I can't imagine that 652 00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:54.400 there, Kevin, you go probably go out there. I can't imagine there 653 00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:00.119 are much better settings in college baseball. And the weather's been that well, 654 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:05.239 there's been, it's been. It's been perfect. I mean, yeah, 655 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:09.719 the couple of games that I went to recently unbelievable. I in fact, 656 00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:15.079 I went to two of the the Washington State series and it was just unbelievable. 657 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:16.280 The funny thing about it is, I think maybe you'll agree, or 658 00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.320 maybe you know this been to me. Wasn't it just a month or so 659 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.840 ago? Chip couldn't coach or whatever? Yeah, people are saying little over 660 00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:25.760 a month ago, people were saying this, and the question whether we did 661 00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:30.519 the right higher YadA, YadA, YadA. Yeah, and now they're probably 662 00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:34.840 gonna win the league. No, those trippers are chippers. Trippers are gone. 663 00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:37.400 Yeah, you know, and and look, the food is good, 664 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:40.199 the beer is there, it's it's a good time. But you know, 665 00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:44.320 once they hit the playoffs, I think people are yeah, they're hosting. 666 00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:46.000 Yeah, if they're hosting, they'll get the crowds. But there is a 667 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:49.480 big series. Well, the Utah Utah is in the second place. I 668 00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.920 went and left up the standards series, y Stanford, right, and they 669 00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:57.320 got you. They're at Utah. That's a big series. They could win 670 00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.920 the league in this in this series. And then they've got Oregon State, 671 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:06.440 who's you know, are good every year coming up after that, so that'll 672 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:07.800 be a big series as well. So yeah, you know, fans got 673 00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:10.800 need to get out there and get this team going. I mean, six 674 00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:15.199 games left, they can win this league, which as good as Arizona has 675 00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:16.679 been over the years, they haven't won the league a bunch of times. 676 00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:20.559 They always go to the not always, but they often go to the NCAA 677 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.239 tournament stuff like that, because you don't have to win the league to do 678 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:25.280 that. But you know, winning the league is not an easy thing. 679 00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:30.559 It's a it's a tough league. Still. Yeah, and then you did 680 00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:34.480 surprisingly well surprisingly I don't know if that's the right word anymore. Good for 681 00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:37.880 Chip, good, good for Chips. But for a guy who wants to 682 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:40.599 be here, yeah, does it probably won't leave if he finds success. 683 00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:44.119 Yeah, I know what he'll say if we ask him, you know, 684 00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:46.400 do you see that or listen to that? And he'll say no, you 685 00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:49.480 know, you just I just go on and do what I do. But 686 00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.039 you know, you have to know that people are out there saying, you 687 00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:54.960 know, questioning whether you're the right guy for a program like this. Well, 688 00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:59.440 it's people that have no business even you know, saying anything. Right, 689 00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:02.199 pretty much right, That's what I've learned the guys, And not to 690 00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:06.239 disparage that, but it's true. I mean, just they do something and 691 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:08.199 it's not good enough for them. Look, and then again, a guy 692 00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:15.360 you know who's you know, through all this baseball travels, you know, 693 00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.559 in the major leagues of his family has lived here. His family has lived 694 00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.440 here since you know, since I don't know since he left college. But 695 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:27.000 you know, my kids went to school with his kids, right well, 696 00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:30.760 they were his kids went to the schools that my kids you know went to, 697 00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:34.000 you know, attended, and so it's uh, it's great that he's 698 00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:37.000 here. So let's take this call. Hi are on the air and on 699 00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.159 the ball. Hey Jay, glad to have you back. Hi, Steve, 700 00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:44.280 this is done. Hey, don real quick. You responded to I 701 00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:45.760 think one of the things that have you been listening to the show all day? 702 00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.039 Not No, it was I was talking about some of you because you 703 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:55.760 responded to somebody talking about the people who are dying for information, like the 704 00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:00.320 girl who transferred. I think you chimed in on this and said, doesn't 705 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:01.800 work out that way. If you get the news early, you get the 706 00:48:01.800 --> 00:48:09.440 news early. Football doesn't uh doesn't purposely give you information. Oh yeah yeah 707 00:48:09.480 --> 00:48:15.320 yeah. On the Facebook thing, yeah, somebody was complaining that they're not 708 00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:22.239 they're not coming with all the information. Well you can't have all the information 709 00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:28.719 and unless you're on the staff, right, Yeah, No, I thought 710 00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:31.320 it. The guy was annoying to me. He just was annoyed to me. 711 00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:38.320 I yelled at my phone, Steve. I was like, dude, 712 00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:45.480 what are you asking for I go, don't be stupid, go apply and 713 00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.320 go go see if they'll let your let you be a manager on the team. 714 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.280 And then you you're still not going to get all the information exactly. 715 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:58.840 They're gonna shut They're gonna shut the door when they start talking exactly exactly. 716 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:00.920 Okay, it wasn't just me. I knew you were on the thing. 717 00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:04.639 I've seen who is this guy? What's this guy up to? Whatever? 718 00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:07.239 Okay, what'd you go with that? Dot? Well, I was gonna 719 00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:14.559 call about the baseball say the one of the bad looks about High Corbett Field 720 00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:21.079 is that it's set up for spring training and having eighty five hundred people there 721 00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:22.960 because the bleachers go all the way to the fence, right. It's a 722 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:28.960 big stadium. It's a it's a huge stadium because opening night in the twenty 723 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:32.960 twelve season, we had like ten thousand people there. That night. I 724 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.679 had to park over in the service in the service parking lot at the Zoo. 725 00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:44.800 But we got in, We got in, and that season there. 726 00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:49.599 I mean, I mean, this this season is turning out to be really 727 00:49:49.599 --> 00:49:54.880 good. I'll be there next Thursday when they play Oregon State and then we'll 728 00:49:54.880 --> 00:49:58.719 see what happens the rest of the weekend. Yeah, you know, and 729 00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:01.559 I mean I I think I know Blair who just called, you know, 730 00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:04.960 would like to see more folks out there. And you always want more if 731 00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:09.639 if you can fit more. But I think four thousand and four college baseball 732 00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:15.280 crowds is pretty good. Pretty pretty good. You know when when you know, 733 00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:16.599 when you go to a game, there's four thousand people there, there's 734 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:21.480 atmosphere. It's not like, you know, you're clapping and everybody, you 735 00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:23.880 know, everybody can hear. I mean, it's it's a good atmosphere with 736 00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:27.920 that many people. Would you like a few thousands more? Sure, But 737 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:31.199 I think that it is. I think it's there. And Arizona led the 738 00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:36.840 fact twelve in attendance since they moved to hy Corbon. Yeah yeah, every 739 00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:40.400 year, every year. I mean, Oregon's got a nice, pretty field, 740 00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:45.280 but it's a bandbox. I mean it's you know, what's its seat 741 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:50.159 like two thousand? Yeah, you know, if Arizona gets to host, 742 00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:53.039 and if they were to get it get into a super regional, that place 743 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.960 is gonna be rocking and it's gonna be hotter than heck, yeah, it'll 744 00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:05.199 be rounded. June I went to the Super Regional and I went to the 745 00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:07.840 sun. The last game there was a Saturday afternoon game where was maybe a 746 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:15.320 Sunday, wasn't It was like one o'clock game Mississippi whoever they played in twenty 747 00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:21.719 twelve, twenty twelve, and my wife and my daughter went with me and 748 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:27.599 they left after the second inning and I said, I'm staying because I'm gonna 749 00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:30.000 cut this out and if I die, I die, you know, because 750 00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:35.559 it was that hot. It was unbelievably hot that day. It was. 751 00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.679 And in twenty twelve was the same thing when Louisville came, Well that's what 752 00:51:38.719 --> 00:51:43.679 I'm talking about, and they and they brought their black uniforms. Yes, 753 00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:49.039 yes, yes, we thought, oh man, so it's so good that 754 00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:52.599 it's so hot.
