17
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.159
guest of the show. We're probudly
to say because she's been you know,

18
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.239
it was only Aspish for a while, there was a must know how to

She's local. We mentioned that a
number of times. She's from She's from

25
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.280
Tucson High and so it's a very
cool deal for somebody who's, uh,

26
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.519
who's from Tucson. Here it is, I found that, I found the

27
00:01:53.599 --> 00:02:01.120
story. Let's see, it's the
same release doesn't mention the previous winners of

28
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.680
the of the of the Awards.
So anyways, Arizone's I think it's there

29
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:13.000
there their fourth time. Uh no, there's even more than that. Snell

30
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.240
is Arizone's record seventh winner of the
award. Okay, that's even more.

31
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:25.400
Margo gear in twenty fifteen regeta Brigitta
Barrett in tract when thirteen any high jumper,

32
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:31.599
right, any Chandler twenty eleven,
Justine Schluntz swimming twenty nineteen, twenty

33
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.879
ten, Lacy nine Meyer two thousand
and nine, and Whitney Myers too.

34
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.199
It was the high jumper two seven. So right, so there you go,

35
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.599
man, very cool, all right, just came across a few minutes

36
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:55.680
ago. Uh, the the manager
of the US women's national soccer team,

37
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:01.680
Vlatko and Donovski, has stepped down. Uh. I think it was widely

38
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.319
expected, being yeah, how they
kind of didn't do well. I had

39
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.800
a bunch of cliche, you know, just sayings going down, and none

40
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.280
of them were clean enough to say
in the in the in the world,

41
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.319
in the Women's World Cup. At
some point, didn't criticize. At some

42
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.560
point they won what they're trying to
three peat. At some point. You

43
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.879
have to understand two on another not
another alibi. Uh. The teams eventually

44
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.080
catch up to you. They do. I think I don't think it was

45
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.680
so much that they got beat.
I think it was the way they looked

46
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:39.280
getting totally you know, and talked
about it the FC two so women coach

47
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.000
stop point coach when we had her
on the show. You know, she

48
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.879
talked about how they just did not
look like they had supposed. It was

49
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.120
a fist fight in the in the
locker room. I didn't see between between

50
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:59.120
Meganpino Ropino and you know the really
famous one, oh nor Lloyd. Yeah

51
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:00.879
not no, no, no,

52
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.919
I think of her name. I
can picture. Yeah, me too.

53
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.039
I know you're talking about, but
that there was a fistfight locker room.

54
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:13.840
The older the older people, right, God, God, we're horrible

55
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.720
because I see it too, and
I should know this, And I don't

56
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:26.279
just stop before you say Morgan Freeman
or something. I almost did say that.

57
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.480
Come on, man, you gotta
have that. We gotta have that,

58
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.279
Morgan. I've been with you too
long to know what you're gonna start.

59
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.040

be a new uh men a women's

60
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:51.360

women's national team. Finding you're you're talking

61
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:56.680
about the fights. So there's a
fight of a fight at a Cowboys camp

62
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.680
that looked pretty badly in sensive kind
of offensive. Guy blocking and guys walking

63
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.319
away and guy pushes and you know, and it was on and uh,

00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.080
him over here. But he'll be
he'll be in charge of operations, one

151
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.759
of those people that is at every
event because basically is in charge of making

152
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.399
sure that those events sure go off
go off well, kind of a behind

153
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.559
the scenes personal Speaking of facility,
they just ran across this. Brett McMurphy

154
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:43.639
posted this a high school in Texas. Uh, just is opening up a

155
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.919
It's a high school that's got thirteen
hundred students. Okay, so it's not

156
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.519
a very big high school. A
ten thousand seat, thirty five million dollars

157
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.120
football skadium, complete with luxury suites, two levels, you know, an

158
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:03.720
upper deck and a or deck artificial
surface in Texas. I didn't see where

159
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.720
this high school is. But Bred
McMurphy again kicking the PAC twelve when they're

160
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:16.080
down, says, there's pictures of
this UH of this facility, says sources

161
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.320
expansion target to join the pack four. So we're gonna hear a lot of

162
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.799
that. There's gonna be jokes like
that going on all the time. More

163
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:33.279
on that winder Winder Franco I think
the Dominican Republic said that their investigation into

164
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:39.320
his alleged relationship with a minor has
been handled by a division specializing in miners

165
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:45.559
and gender violence in the Dominican Republic. This sounds really bad. It sounds

166
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.080
really bad. He maybe one of
those things where we don't see him again.

167
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.279
Pretty good, he's only like twenty
two. Yeah, he's a young

168
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.080
guy. Yeah, it's pretty good
talent too. But you and then finally

169
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.480
for those you know, a number
of times we brought this up that how

170
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.320
big a deal academics was to Arizona
and the pactice going through this whole thing.

171
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:07.120
Well, the Princeton Review has named
Arizona one of the best colleges in

172
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:13.159
the country for a lot of different
reasons. They ranked UH number five.

173
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.840
Actually the rating is where the scale
of eight ninety nine is the highest rating

174
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:22.039
you can get. They got a
ninety eight on fire safety, ninety five

175
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:28.320
on sustainability to eighty six on quality
of life, eighty five admissions, eighty

176
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.679
one financial aid, seventy seven on
academics. It's just a whole bunch of

177
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:37.679
stuff, but again a reputation that
Arizona is established and really want. It's

178
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.679
very important to the school. And
I think they've improved on one thing that

179
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.720
there was concerned after that's your shooting
safe safe safety, that's that's been stepped

180
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.919
up of it. There a lot
of a lot of things. I mean,

181
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.240
bad thing had to happen for that
to take place, but you feel

182
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:54.320
like they've they've really made try to
make some strike, you know, for

183
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.679
somebody who's got a daughter still still
on campus over there. I'm glad to

184
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.120
hear that, dude. So okay, all right, man, that's all

185
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.879
I got what you got? No, No, that's good. We'll come

265
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.519
Well, no, it's a little
too hot to be by the pool.

266
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.519
I am having a vacation right this
week. Yeah, I took a

267
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.480
I was in New York a couple
of weeks ago for my nephew's wedding.

268
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.759
So well, so you're getting ready
for what's ahead. It's nine months of

269
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:21.119
no time off, right, That's
it. So I'm grabbing all all the

270
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.680
time off I can right now.
So what's what's going to keep you busy

271
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:27.480
in the fall. We've got We've
mentioned your number of things going on,

272
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:34.119
but what what'll you be doing?
Oh? Well, obviously women's basketball is

273
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.799
my main focus. But this year
we're switching things up a little bit and

274
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.680
I'll be joining a little more general
assignment. So I'm going to pitch in

275
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:51.079
on football last year. I yeah, I'll probably be writing maybe an extra

276
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:55.720
feature here and there, or like
a sidebar on a game store on a

277
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.599
game day or something that's good.
That's cool, very cool. Okay,

278
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.559
Well, let's talk about basketball then, because you know, all the conversation

279
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.519
obviously around the Big twelve deal has
been you know, about football, men's

280
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.359
basketball. But you know Pac twelve
had one of the best basketball conferences,

281
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.039
if not the best basketball conference in
the country. Have you put some thought

282
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:19.640
into what this does to that conference
and what it's going to look like for

283
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:26.680
Arizona down the road. Yeah,
it's gonna be a completely different. First

284
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.160
of all, I do need to
plug something. I wrote a column that

285
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:37.079
was in Saturday's paper about just about
what's going on with the move to the

286
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:44.079
Big twelve and how it affects women's
basketball and how they would have basically,

287
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.559
if they would have sold women's basketball
as a separate media rights deal a long

288
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:55.799
time ago with PAC twelve, probably
wouldn't up broken up. But everybody can

289
00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:03.119
read that on the website. But
for Arizona, what it looks like is

290
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:11.640
it will be opposite of what it
is now. So every weekend in the

291
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.680
Pac twelve you get beat up,
right, you play everybody's tough, even

292
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.119
if it was a su last year
and they only won one game, or

293
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.720
cal who's only won four games.
I think in the last four years,

294
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:30.200
there's still tough outs. There is
no gimme in the Pac twelve for women's

295
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.680
basketball. Now when you flip to
the Big twelve, it's not like that.

296
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:41.480
There are some really good teams.
You're looking at Baylor, Iowa State,

297
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:48.839
although now with Ashley Jones having graduated
and moved on from Iowa State,

298
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:53.559
we don't know what that program is
going to look like going forward. But

299
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:59.920
there are some decent teams and then
there's you know, five or six teams

300
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:06.200
said that are not And so what's
gonna happen is you're going to walk into

301
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:08.519
the Big twelve, and I'm going
to say this right out, Arizona is

302
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:15.480
going to compete. Not only compete, but they could win the tournament title,

303
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:22.119
the Big Twelve tournament title, and
the conference title every few years.

304
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.400
They're going to be right up there. There's not gonna get Danford up there

305
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.440
to swat them down. They're going
to be one of the They already are

306
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.599
a top program in the Big twelve
in the Pac twelve, but in the

307
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:41.400
Big twelve, they're just gonna they're
it's gonna be different because they will dominate

308
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:48.200
to some degree, which will then
give them a higher seed in the NCAA

309
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:53.839
tournament, which then makes possibly their
path to getting back to the final four

310
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.680
a little bit easier than being a
fifth seed or a sixth seed or last

311
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.920
year were they in a seed or
something then, and that makes that difficult.

312
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:11.200
So it's flipped because right now in
the PAC twelve, they have the

313
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.119
competition week in, week out to
prepare them to a tournament. That's always

314
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.079
been the thought. So so let
me ask you, PJ, given your

315
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.559
theory, your thoughts on that,
is it a better move for them?

316
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:27.000
You know, would it be better
to be in a tough conference and kind

317
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:32.240
of finish three fourth whatever it is, or become one of the big dogs

318
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:36.440
in another conference? You know,
that's a good that's a good thing.

319
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.200
You can pick either way. I
don't know what's better, except for the

320
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:47.319
fact that would you want to win
conference tournaments and titles all the time and

321
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:52.200
get a better seeds so possibly you
could make more and more final fours.

322
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.359
I don't know. That's probably a
lot of people would probably pick that.

323
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:03.079
A lot of fans would probably pick
that, although you know, knowing that

324
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.519
every week you have somebody coming in
here who's not an easy out right like

325
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.799
Oregon's going to come in and then
Oregon State you play on Sunday, and

326
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.640
then currently the way it is,
it's like, you know, USC and

327
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.920
then UCLA. I know they were
going away, but still, you know,

328
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:26.880
you have those those you had to
be ready Friday and you had to

329
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:33.000
be ready Sunday, and that does
prepare you, and it makes you a

330
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.920
tougher, you know, you got
to be tough, a lot tougher.

331
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.359
I can't say one is better.
It's it's a gimme. I mean,

332
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.920
it's everybody has their own opinion on
that, what they like better. It's

333
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:51.039
just what it's going to be.
Overall for Arizona, I do believe that

334
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.640
I moved to the Big twelve.
It is a good thing, and I

335
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:59.079
think that it will raise their profile
and certain things you all get to.

336
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:06.839
I'll get to recruit in different areas
that that in general could help them all.

337
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.119
Though some programs, like a DAS
program, she recruits everywhere, so

338
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:17.799
maybe she'll get more into Texas where
she hasn't. She's only had ka race

339
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.599
from Texas before, you know.
But but for in general, for the

340
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:27.839
school, it does raise the profile. I think. You know, Steve

341
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:33.599
and I were talking earlier in the
show about that whole aspect of you know,

342
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:36.759
which is better, right, being
in a conference that you kind of

343
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:41.279
win or regularly challenged, or being
in a tougher conference like like the women

344
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.039
have been in. You know,
and you know, one of the points

345
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:47.880
that we talked about, what,
you know, does being in like the

346
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.279
men's PAC twelve conference, you know, since you don't have a hard game

347
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.960
every game, does that get you
ready enough for the nc DOUABAA tournament when

348
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:02.039
all of a sudden you're facing a
TCU or a Houston or Texas Tech or

349
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.000
something like that that can be really
physical and beat you up. Or is

350
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.720
it better to be you know whatever, what the air's on women were doing

351
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.759
where you've got Stanford, Oregon.
You see all these teams that are all

352
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:18.119
you know, again, nobody's an
easy out. It kind of just depends.

353
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:19.799
And I you know, hearing you
talk about what the Big twelve is,

354
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:23.279
it's like the women are going to
be stepping into a situation similar to

355
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:30.119
what the men have been in all
this time. And you know, the

356
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.119
interesting thing is, had you asked
me a year ago, I would have

357
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.200
said, oh, of course you'd
want to play in the PAC twelve.

358
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.079
They're the best conference and this is
what you want. But then you look

359
00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:48.119
at LSU this year. We talked
all year like I vote for an AP

360
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.839
top twenty five, and I didn't
know where to place them because they played

361
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:56.720
like two games, right, They
played South Carolina once during the season and

362
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:02.400
they played somebody else and that was
it. Other they did not have a

363
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:07.200
tough non conference schedule, and in
the conference they just sort of rolled over.

364
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:10.839
I just didn't know who they were. And then look at it.

365
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.480
Then they went to and they won
the whole thing. And so then you

366
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:22.480
think, well, if if you
can do that, then looks so bad,

367
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.079
right, Like it's like maybe you
should it. Maybe it doesn't matter

368
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.920
you had if you only play like
two really really tough teams. I don't

369
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.119
know. So of course they have
a great coach and Kim Malti who can

370
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:38.000
get her team prepared. But you
know, Adea Barnes could do the same

371
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:42.160
thing. Yeah, so so let
me ask you. I don't think you've

372
00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:47.880
written this, uh, you haven't
pinned down idea right to get her thoughts.

373
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.000
I don't think we all have all
talked to anybody to get to know

374
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.000
they have a break right now?
Yeah? Yeah, okay, Well just

375
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.920
knowing her, how you know her
wich? What do you think she'd say?

376
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.559
She's a competitor and she just wants
to I don't think she cares who's

377
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.599
in front of her. She just
wants to go out and fight and win.

378
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.799
And I really don't think that she
had to be way off base,

379
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:19.720
But I think she just wants to
play games, and she wants to get

380
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:25.799
to the NC Double A tournament and
take big runs. And I think that's

381
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.039
what she wants to do. I
think it's more about what she does with

382
00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:33.920
her program, right. Her vision
always has been get to the NC double

383
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:38.160
A tournament, get to the final, or win championships, right, whether

384
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:44.279
it's league or national championship, that's
what her vision has been. And so

385
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:51.799
I think that she's more focused on
her team, her program, the culture

386
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:57.039
improving, and the skilled development to
get her kids put them in the right

387
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:02.559
position to do it's the best they
can do and live up to their potential.

388
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.759
And I think that's all she cares
about. Let's talk about that a

389
00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:11.319
little bit. They've already got an
injury that to a player that was expecting

390
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:17.480
to contribute. What's kind of been
going on with them this summer? Yeah,

391
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:22.359
I think that's a tough injury to
Montean do she I'm talking to the

392
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:30.079
evaluators at ESPN. She was.
She's a very versatile player. She's the

393
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.960
type of player who could come in
and she can do a lot. So

394
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:38.880
not only is she a great defender, she comes from a really great program

395
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:45.480
and Centennial and Las Vegas where another
wild gat came from, by the way,

396
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.720
Sam Thomas, right, but and
she started built like Sam with long

397
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.640
arms, and then I think helps
her be a good defender. But she

398
00:30:53.799 --> 00:31:00.519
can also she's got good court vision, she passes the ball really well as

399
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.559
well as scoring and all of that. So that's a tough loss. And

400
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:10.079
it's a tough loss for her not
being able to play this year because and

401
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:14.759
she even came in early last semester
and gray shirt, so having to wait

402
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:22.839
another year is tough for everyone.
But you know, I think that with

403
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:30.000
the players that Idea has returning and
the players that they've added, whether they're

404
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:37.200
freshman or transfers, I do think
that this team's going to be again a

405
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.519
tough out. I think they're going
to be a fun team to watch,

406
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:47.000
a lot of really tough, blue
collar type of some players who have that

407
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:55.680
sort of dog attitude. Some players
who were overlooked and some players who were

408
00:31:55.839 --> 00:32:00.759
highly ranked in their freshman class,
and Braya Cunningham and and Jada Williams who

409
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:07.759
just want to go out and play
and win. And Jade is going to

410
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:12.559
be a great point guard. She's
she talked about somebody who has court vision.

411
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.599
She's gonna be truly the first real
point guard that Idea of Arnes has

412
00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:22.119
had since Lucy Alonso. Aery McDonald
was their point guard, and Aery can

413
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:28.119
do anything, so that's a whole
different category. But but Jada, I

414
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:32.160
think is going to be really good. I also think that it's just gonna

415
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:36.599
be. This team's gonna mesh.
I think they came together. I think

416
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:42.519
from what I'm hearing is that they're
a really close knit team, and I

417
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.759
think that really helps. And we'll
help this team do whatever they're gonna do

418
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.720
this year. We have a couple
of minutes here, so you you track

419
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:53.119
down area as well, because I
think I saw a story somewhere what's be

420
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:57.519
up to? And then how was
that? Yeah? I went to the

421
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:04.319
Barkley Center in New York in Brooklyn
to watch Airy play the New York Liberty

422
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.960
and she had just been back about
four games. She was still wearing a

423
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:13.160
brace. She had torn her labroom
and her shoulder or left shoulder, which

424
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:19.640
is her shooting arm, and she
looked really good. Now her SHOT's a

425
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:23.319
little flat and a little off,
and she's working on that. The braces

426
00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:30.240
came off, I think a couple
of days after that game. And for

427
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:35.799
Airy, and what I'm seeing is
when she's in the lineup, her team

428
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:39.519
makes a run or keeps a big
lead or whatever it happens to be,

429
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.400
and when she's on the bench,
they have a little bit of a problem

430
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:47.920
keeping that going. So she really
impacts the game, as we all knew.

431
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.960
And afterwards I asked one of her
teammates, Alicia Gray, about that,

432
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.559
and she said, yeah, when
Airy's on the floor, things happen.

433
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:02.880
So she's come back and she hasn't
been consistent with her shot or just

434
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:09.559
isn't taking her shot and referring maybe
more to her teammates, but she's I

435
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:15.239
think she's in a good place and
she was happy to be back on the

436
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:19.719
court. Let me tell you real
real quick. We're got about thirty seconds.

437
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:22.760
Have you heard from Sam Thomas and
what she's going to be up to

438
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:28.320
Yeah, I just saw I have
a call out, no doubt to Sam

439
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:32.199
because I just saw that JCC has
a league and a fall for kids,

440
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.519
and Sam somehow going to be involved. I don't exactly know what that involvement

441
00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:43.519
is, but I think Sam's going
to be in Two Sons and September and

442
00:34:43.559 --> 00:34:46.880
Autist. So watch I mean September
and October, So watch out for that.

443
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:52.599
Yeah, she is two Sons favorite
daughter. Thanks, thanks PJ for

444
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.280
filling in. Thanks a whole bunch
of PJ. Take the rest of the

445

00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:43.599
Averzon with b By you again,
you'll have fun with that. You'll get

540
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:46.679
crap for that too, I know, we'll see. I think it's gonna

541
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:50.840
be a lot of fun most football
and basketball. Yeah, well again,

542
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.480
and you know, we talked about
this at the at the top. Interesting

543
00:41:55.360 --> 00:42:00.239
to see how they're going to structure, you know, the scheduling, particularly

544
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:04.639
for football, right who we're gonna
play every year and then who you're going

545
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.679
to play on a rotating basis sixteen
teams, Now you're gonna playing nine games.

546
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.280
This might be a dumb question,
and I'm asking you because I don't

547
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:15.320
know the answer, and maybe I
do, but I haven't checked. As

548
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:19.840
you look, as you look at
this schools in the Pac twelve with Arizona

549
00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:25.000
laterally or or moving up USC Athletic, you know USC. Right, we're

550
00:42:25.039 --> 00:42:29.800
taking football, not basketball, U
C. L A. Washington, Oregon.

551
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:36.039
That's about it. Yeah, that's
about it. That are above that

552
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.519
are clearly above them. So and
they're kind of in the middle, right,

553
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:42.079
whether it's five, six to nine, whatever. Okay, So now

554
00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:49.960
I'm gonna put you in you in
the Big twelve laterally laterally yeah? Who?

555
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:54.000
Yeah, I mean who? Who? Do I think our teams equal

556
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:58.960
to Arizona or Arizona equal to them
that you move into them, while the

557
00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:01.760
kind of middle of the pack teams, like who are the top ones I

558
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:06.639
think right now Oklahoma State or Oklahoma
State, you know, but they were

559
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:10.119
not they were terrible last year.
You know, Houston has been, but

560
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:15.039
Houston has been in the in the
Yeah, I don't know, I don't

561
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:16.960
know how much you say about Texas
Tech. Everybody says Texas Tech is gonna

562
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.239
be really good this year, but
who knows. But even just some perception,

563
00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:23.719
even on just perception wise, Steve, I think Arizona is on a

564
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:29.360
par with pretty much everybody who Okay, that's what you mean. Okay,

565
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:32.639
No, I think I think that. And that's what I've been saying is

566
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:37.880
that, you know, tc is
really good and they got to National Championship

567
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:42.679
Game last year, but are they
Are they going to sustain that, you

568
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:45.840
know, like like a like a
USC or an Oregon or something like that.

569
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:47.960
I don't know that they are.
I have that right, no.

570
00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.519
But but my point being, you
can't look at TCU and say, oh,

571
00:43:52.599 --> 00:43:54.400
they're the USC of the Big twelve. Of course, I don't think

572
00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:58.599
you can say they're not even like
they're not even the Oregon or the Washington

573
00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:02.440
schools. Are they predicted to win
this year? Because they've lost a lot

574
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:07.440
of guys, people are predicting Texas
Texas Tech to win. Really Okay,

575
00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:10.519
that's not sexy? Yeah, come
on, really is it? Kansas is

576
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:14.000
gonna better, right because they had
a pretty good year last year. Right?

577
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:20.519
That league is not in football,
it's not literally, I think it's

578
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.119
almost a while. Wait a minute, I'm trying to blank on this.

579
00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:29.880
Are in Oklahoma and Texas still in
the league this year? The yeah,

580
00:44:29.960 --> 00:44:32.199
they're in they're in the league this
year, and then they go twenty twenty

581
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.880
four. So obviously those two guys
got to be the favorites. But a

582
00:44:36.920 --> 00:44:38.719
lot of people are talking about Texas
Tech. They're gonna be really damn Yeah

583
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:40.719
No, but I was talking more
when they moved. When they moved,

584
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:44.239
right when those two teams are gone, I don't think I feel like I

585
00:44:44.320 --> 00:44:46.159
feel like Arizona is a lot like
all the other teams in the league.

586
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:50.440
Oklahoma State doesn't scare the crap out
of me when it comes to football.

587
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:53.519
No, you know, I think
there was a time that was YU does

588
00:44:53.639 --> 00:45:01.840
not see doesn't you see you stand? Texas Tech, Kansas, Kansas State,

589
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:07.079
UH, West Virginias. None of
those teams. Do I sit there

590
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:13.280
and say they are hands down better
programs in Arizona, especially now that they're

591
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:16.199
Arizona's going to come up right,
come up realistically either or not. They're

592
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:22.880
not there yet. But I wins
six or seven games this year, maybe

593
00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:25.119
let's say win seven games, get
to a ball game, whatever happens in

594
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:28.639
the bowl game, just they go
seven and five, get to a ball

595
00:45:28.719 --> 00:45:31.719
game. I think going into next
year, you kind of go why not,

596
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:36.480
Yeah, yeah, why not?
And get better? Right, get

597
00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:37.760
better? You don't know what you're
through, what you're gonna see, But

598
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:42.559
I think they'll fit right. In
basketball wise, you know, you have

599
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:46.199
the elites. You have Kansas,
Baylor, maybe, but Arizona's Arizona.

600
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:50.840
It's gonna be one two in Kansas
and Arizona. From the time as Oregon

601
00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:53.599
got really good with all the Nike
mind and stuff like that, there were

602
00:45:53.679 --> 00:45:58.159
four schools in the way of Arizona, you know, at least from in

603
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:02.159
football from a recruiting standpoint, Let's
take this call, all run the ernine

604
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:06.639
the ball. Hey, j this
is done. How are you guys doing?

605
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:12.400
What's up? Hey? Not too
much? I think on the football

606
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:16.679
conversation, I think what we're going
to be going into is like something that

607
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:23.480
I've said in the past where I'd
like Arizona to be in that it kind

608
00:46:23.519 --> 00:46:28.840
of in a seven, eight,
nine wins and then every once in a

609
00:46:28.880 --> 00:46:31.760
while they pull off a ten eleven
wins season. I think a lot of

610
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:36.239
the schools in the Big twelve that
are there now waiting for us. I

611
00:46:36.360 --> 00:46:38.760
think they're in that same, that
same kind of boat. So I think

612
00:46:38.840 --> 00:46:43.880
that the Big Twelve could turn out
to be like a like a round robin

613
00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:47.519
where teams teams will ebb and flow
up and down as you go, and

614
00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.360
the competition is going to be is
definitely going to be there, But I

615
00:46:52.400 --> 00:47:00.039
don't think we're gonna have uh like
the SEC with Alabama and Georgia, which

616
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:02.880
I don't think is good anyway.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of

617
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:07.079
times there's a lot of conversation about
that. Is that you know, of

618
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:13.840
all the leagues, the Big Twelve
has the most parody. Yeah, yeah,

619
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:15.719
I agree. I totally agree,
And I don't think and I don't

620
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:21.039
think that parody is going to bring
them down because you know, you're gonna

621
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:24.280
have to go through some wars just
to get to ball eligibility, and if

622
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:29.599
the league does well during the ball
season, that only makes makes them all

623
00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:30.960
look better. It's like, hey, I don't care where are you come

624
00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:35.559
from, you don't want to play
anybody from the Big Twelve, right right?

625
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.159
No, I agree, I just
think that you know, again we

626
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:44.960
mentioned TCU. TCU is not going
to become USC or even Oregon or Washington.

627
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.760
They're having to run right now.
They got to the National Championship game.

628
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:52.480
You know, really good program right
now. But is that sustainable to

629
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:55.559
where the point they're that every single
year? I don't think. I don't

630
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:59.320
think the Big twelve will let them
do that because there's too many too as

631
00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:04.320
you say, too many teams in
the Big twelve like Oklahoma State, Arizona,

632
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:07.320
Uh you know b YU would that
can jump up and have a really

633
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.559
good year and beat you. And
that's one thing that I didn't even factor

634
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:19.840
in was the BYU factory that makes
it that much tougher. And another thing,

635
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:27.599
I really honestly see Oregon and Washington
going to the Big ten turning into

636
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:34.440
Oregon State and Washington State because the
two the two times that those two schools

637
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:39.039
got into the playoff and and and
or got into the National Championship Game,

638
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:43.960
what happened? They got smoked because
they looked like JV teams. You know,

639
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:47.639
I talked to but I talked to
a buddy of mine who's big UCLA

640
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:52.480
guy, and and I said,
so, how how how are you guys

641
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.320
feeling about going to the Big ten? He goes, We're going to get

642
00:48:54.360 --> 00:49:02.079
our assets kicked. He knows it. Like Oregon last year was good,

643
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:07.840
but they were West Coast good,
right, you would see it's the same

644
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.199
way. They're entitled. They're gonna
go over there and they're gonna get smacked

645
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:14.199
around and they're gonna be an eight
and four team in no time. Yeah,

646
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.400
well, they're they're The game's gonna
have to change for them. They're

647
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:22.679
gonna have to be tougher. They
are the Arizona basketball of football. It's

648
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:24.480
a more rare. It's a finesse. It's a finesse will beat you by

649
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:30.000
outscoring you. It doesn't work anymore. It doesn't work over there. And

650
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:34.000
where is Oregon going to get their
big guys? Right, They're not gonna

651
00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:38.480
be pulling from from the Midwest because
the recruited thing is going to be Why

652
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:42.280
are you going to go out there
to come back here and get smoked in

653
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:45.480
front of your friends and family?
Yeah no, I hear you, I

654
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:47.679
hear you. You know, and
the and the Big twelve. I think

655
00:49:47.760 --> 00:49:51.719
in all aspects. And you know
what's funny, Jay, I don't know,

656
00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:54.280
You're couldn't help me out with this. When Arizona winn or the Pac

657
00:49:54.400 --> 00:50:04.280
ten. It was seventy seventy eight. That may that made me. I

658
00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:07.159
don't know why that made a deep
I have a deep set at hate and

659
00:50:07.320 --> 00:50:15.079
fear, like every you're you're breaking
up a little bit so beaten us?

660
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:16.199
Yeah, you're you're you're you broke
up a little bit. There. You

661
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:21.480
have a deep seated fear of what
Texas Tech. Oh, I don't know

662
00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:27.000
if it's history or what. Well, we grew up at a time when

663
00:50:27.039 --> 00:50:29.440
the Texas Tech game with Arizona was
a big game. It was like,

664
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:34.199
oh man, we're playing Texas Tech
and and you know it was was it

665
00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:37.199
because they were from Tech, because
they and they were in the Southwest Conference

666
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:38.760
and so they were you know,
they were a big deal. You know,

667
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:43.000
everyone was in the whack and so
yeah, it became a big deal.

668
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:45.679
But we were never in the same
conference with them. They weren't in

669
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:51.119
the whack with US or Border conference. They were in the Southwest and it

670
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:53.599
was I remember that we played him
all the time. We played him all

671
00:50:53.639 --> 00:50:57.559
the time, but they weren't in
our league and it was a big deal

672
00:50:57.599 --> 00:51:00.239
whenever Arizona play though, same with
saying it was hey, I remember Arizona

673
00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:02.519
beat San Diego State one year and
it was like the biggest win of the

674
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:07.239
year because they went up to San
Diego played him in the in their stadium

675
00:51:07.280 --> 00:51:10.719
up a Jack Murray what became Jack
Murphy Stadium, and Arizona beat him was

676
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:15.400
like seventy six or seventy seven,
and it was a It was a huge

677
00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:19.519
deal that Arizona beat San Diego State. But that's where Arizona was at the

678
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:22.320
time when they made that jump to
the big to the Pac twelve or pack.

679
00:51:22.400 --> 00:51:29.280
Then first two years Arizona got his
face kicked in regularly. But but

680
00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:32.280
then you know, and as I
think we talked about this yesterday day before,

681
00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:36.960
when Larry Smith got here, it
changed quickly and Arizona all of a

682
00:51:36.960 --> 00:51:38.280
sudden was competitive in the Pac ten. Let me ask both of you,

683
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:42.039
how done? Let me ask you
because I'm not from here. So Tony

684
00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:44.840
Mason came here. He got Arizona
in trouble, but pretty good coach.

685
00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:51.000
I was never sold on him.
He got Arizona to a bowl game in

686
00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:58.840
seventy nine that they but they went, they went six and five and got

687
00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:02.519
into it. They snuck into the
guest of all but I remember we followed

688
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:06.599
them and went to the USC game
that year in seventy nine, Charles White

689
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:08.639
was on that team Heisman Trophy year. They kicked the crap out of here.

690
00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:13.360
Arizona didn't belong on the same field
with them. Two years later they

691
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:16.239
go back over there parkas Allen's on
that team and Arizona Beazza with who with

692
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:22.639
him because the coach with sith Yeah, Tom Tuncliff, Jay Dobbins, you

693
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:25.239
know, uh Ricky Haney and that
team and they beat and they beat you,

694
00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:31.519
USC ranked number one. So it
took some time. Loll roy.

695
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:35.719
Done, thanks for they appreciate it. Done. Know what we also need

696
00:52:35.800 --> 00:52:37.199
to do is we need to take
the PAC twelve and net work with us.

697
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:40.400
That part of it was good.
I loved it. I loved getting

698
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:44.800
every game, So that was good. I could see. I watched all

699
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:47.000
the baseball games, I watched a
lot of softball, you know, picked

700
00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:51.760
up some volleyball and everything else.
I think, I think, I hope,

701
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:53.920
I hope we have a way of
watching all the non revenue sports.

702
00:52:54.039 --> 00:52:57.840
Yeah. Part of that's going to
depend on what happens to the PAC twelve.

703
00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:00.440
If they can, you know,
sell that off to the Big twelve

704
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:01.400
or something. Hey, Don,
thanks as much. We gotta run,

705
00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:07.960
appreciate the call. Thank you guys. Thanks for the Don's always got some

706
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:10.519
good stuff. I feel like I'm
talking to my brother who grew up with

707
00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:17.880
me because we experienced all the same
things exactly exactly. But you know,

708
00:53:17.960 --> 00:53:21.599
but he I mean, that's a
good point. It's you know, as

709
00:53:21.639 --> 00:53:25.480
you were saying, you know,
the football is gonna look. It's gonna

710
00:53:25.480 --> 00:53:29.639
look. So you're gonna feel like
Arizona's got a shot. You're not overwhelmed,

711
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:31.320
right, You're not gonna feel like
you walk on the field with the

712
00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:35.559
USC and no, they've got better
play. Yeah, it's a great move.

713
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:38.400
I think it's a great move.
Okayn't by fast today? It did

714
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:43.800
go by perfect. All right,
We're gonna be back tomorrow. We're gonna
