So I 13 00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.439 want to get a get an update on how things are going over there. 14 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.159 They're doing very well. Obviously they had a big win last night, so 15 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.039 we'll have him discuss what happened and and that's cool, that's fine with us. 16 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.640 And then in the second hour we hope to get to Tommy Lloyd. 17 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.799 Right, the Tommy Lloyd press conference was today. We we we no, 18 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.519 I'm never gonna talk about this, but we expect to have it at four 19 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.079 fifteen or in the in the second hour at the four fifteen four to twenty 20 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.439 segment. We'll play it in its entirety. You know, they go. 21 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.799 It goes about fifteen minutes, so we'll we'll let you hear the questions and 22 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.959 the answers and how the press conference goes, and see what you think. 23 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.439 Obviously getting ready for ACU on Saturday, right right? Uh, do you 24 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.280 call it a big weekend or no? Yeah, they all are, Steve, 25 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.040 I think you know, Arizona can't be tripping over itself, and especially 26 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.799 at home. You know, they got three games coming up at home after 27 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.040 a nice sweep of the of the Mountain schools. You know they haven't They 28 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.799 have a real good chance to put together a six game winning streak. And 29 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.120 when you got everybody else you know around the country, you know, losing 30 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.560 and losing at home if you can, if you can, you know, 31 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.840 stand your ground at home and and win those games. Uh, you know 32 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:15.919 you'll keep at worst keep your position from a seed standpoint and at best improve 33 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.599 on it. I think, you know, it's the way it's developing. 34 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.080 Yukon and and and Purdue. You know, they're they're solidly in the one 35 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.840 and two spots. You know, Houston's got a decent grip on the three 36 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:30.080 spot. But you know, you never know if they I mean they went 37 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.599 and lost to you know, somebody at home, so things can happen. 38 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.639 So you just got to keep winning, and you especially have to keep winning 39 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.639 at home. And last year, remember Ace, you came in here, 40 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.520 they did and they beat Arizona. They did. Tommy got asked about that, 41 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:50.360 and uh, you know, well, you know it's it's important. 42 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.879 Every game now is important because especially with the way teams are bunched up in 43 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:59.439 the probably the three through nine spots, you know, in the rankings and 44 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.960 stuff like that. At you know, you got to you just got to 45 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.199 keep winning and and and stay as they would say, stay ahead of the 46 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:09.080 posse. Right right, No, that's good. Do you remember at least 47 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.280 that you remember that? Yeah, I was behind that basket, so I 48 00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.199 remember all that. I didn't I didn't forgot. I haven't forgotten about it. 49 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.080 That shot went up right in front of me. And it went up 50 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.960 and I'm like, that's good. And then and it was good. Yeah, 51 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.599 you could tell from then the moment he let it go, you knew 52 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.120 it was good and it and its swished and it was you know, he 53 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.639 didn't bank it, he did. I mean, it was just money. 54 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.159 And so you know, I mean, Steve, if you're you're an athlete, 55 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.520 well you used to be an athlete. I mean you're thinking about it, 56 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.520 aren't you. Yeah, you know, I know coaches like to say, 57 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.680 oh, we're you know, we're not motivated by what happened last year, 58 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.800 because this year is this year. I think if you're Arizona players who 59 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.240 were here last year, of course you're motivated, especially the circumstances last in 60 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.360 the year, Senior night right appell at Larson. You know, Kylon Boswell, 61 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.520 Umar, those guys who were here last year, they have to be 62 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.719 not thinking about it from the standpoint of of, you know, letting it 63 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.560 occupy their minds and and and you know what they're doing. But from the 64 00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:09.439 standpoint of we want to go out there and play our asses off to make 65 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.439 sure they don't have a chance to do that again, right, right, 66 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:15.120 So we'll see what happens if anybody want to call, please do I want 67 00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:19.480 to continue our discussion. You weren't here yesterday and throw that out there. 68 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:25.319 Maybe you had a night to sleep on this, remind me sleep five two, 69 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.560 five, six seven four four zero. Who would you rather have in 70 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:34.680 your back for a final shot? No? No, who would you rather 71 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:39.680 have in your back court? Oh you didn't say that. I thought we 72 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.600 were talking about a last shot? No, no, we were talking about 73 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.399 the tandems because we talked about would you have I thought you were talking about 74 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.759 the Ben mather and Caleb Love argument about taking the last But we'll go there 75 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:56.399 too, Caleb Love or Caleb Love and Kylon Boswell or Dale and Terry and 76 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.879 be Oh yeah, I said that too. I still think because I think 77 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.680 both both those guys are a little more well rounded. You know, Ben 78 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.560 mathern can do a lot of things. Yeah, but I'm not sure that 79 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:12.480 I would be one hundred percent comfortable with Dale and Terry as my point guard 80 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.600 over these other two guys. Who are you taking? I know you? 81 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:24.040 Yeah, i think I'm still leaning that way just because Dayal and Terry's defense, 82 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.560 I really value that, and I feel like bathroom. As far as 83 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.279 his size, and his shot getting to the basket. And on the other 84 00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.319 end too, Yeah, would you have would you rather have Benedict than the 85 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.920 than the than Caleb? Yeah? I think I think as a as an 86 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.600 overall player, I think he's more well rounded overall. Okay, so that's 87 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.920 not what you thought, Well, then I will go to here. Here's 88 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.079 here's part of it. I see. I don't see Ben Mathon as a 89 00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.879 guard. Yeah, I see him as a three. He's very low. 90 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.560 I see him as a three. So if you need it's not the question 91 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.439 from yesterday, no, but the reason that. But that's the reason I 92 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.839 don't see him him as him and Dale and Terry as a great guard tandem 93 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.839 because I don't see Ben Mathon as a guard. I see him as a 94 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.800 three. Oh, he's a He was a Michael Dickerson three ish guard, 95 00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.759 combo guard three two three two. If Palett Larson wasn't there, You mean, 96 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.600 if Pelt Larson wouldn't he have been the three and they would have gotten 97 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.839 more of a true guard than than Ben Matheron. Ben Mathers is not a 98 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.000 true guard to me, you know, but he had he was a two. 99 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.720 He was a two in the lineup. He was a two. You 100 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.519 wouldn't take Dylan Terry's point guard either, he's a he handled the ball, 101 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.399 No, not not not over the big Oh he looked great. Not over 102 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.279 Boswell you. But we're not talking them too, so you're still taking your 103 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.959 two, your dear Love Boswell over Mathron. I would never I would never 104 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.920 do that. Okay, now that second to the point that you were trying 105 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.079 to make at the beginning, You're gonna take a Boswell over Mathrine for the 106 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.759 last shot. No, I'm taking Caleb Love over. Yeah, I think 107 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.160 over over for the last shot. Yeah. No, not me, not 108 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.959 even I think I think Love is a much better three point shooter. I 109 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:15.000 think Love is better at creating a shot. But now can Matherine get get 110 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.040 to the get to the basket in a you know, as a taller guy, 111 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:19.920 in a more forceful, more physical, forceful way. Yes, but 112 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:27.519 I also think Caleb Love does a good job. Anybody gets Look, look, 113 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.759 I'm not saying that overall that I think Caleb Love is a better player 114 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.759 than Ben Mathms. Was the number seven pick in the NBA draft, and 115 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:39.160 I don't see Caleb Love is that. You know, overall, Ben Mathern 116 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:43.279 is a better player and does those things. What I'm saying, if I 117 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.120 need a last shot and I'm gonna put the ball in one guy's hand to 118 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.560 get me the last shot, I think you have more options with Caleb Love 119 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:55.040 than you have with Ben Mathrin and and I And I'm not taking I'm not 120 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.600 taking a level over Mathron at any time, any place. And there's no 121 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.040 right or answer. I think they're both in their own ways. I mean, 122 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.079 they both want the ball at the end of the game. If you've 123 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.000 got one or the other, you're feeling pretty good. Yeah, yeah, 124 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.240 you've got right. But if if you have to pick one or the other, 125 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.839 I'm I'm picking Caleb Love because again, you know, if he has 126 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.120 to, he'll make the twenty five twenty six footer. And I don't know, 127 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.720 Ben Maths got that shot, and you know and and and you know 128 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.959 got touch shot. He's got touch shot. We just wouldn't he was smart 129 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.759 enough not to take it. Tom I heard Tommy talk about that today. 130 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:37.399 That'll be that was in the press conference. Uh you know again, I'm 131 00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:41.320 thinking, I'm still thinking there's yea and we saw that. No, there 132 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.679 is. My answer is right and yours is wrong. You haven't I mean, 133 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.080 we saw Ben in March. I was just gonna say, you better, 134 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.600 you better take that one back. Think you've been right, You're right, 135 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.039 Steve. You know, look again, as I said a second, 136 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.320 if your options are Matherin or or Caleb Love, you'll like your choices. 137 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.840 You'll and you'll you'll, you'll run with either one. In fact, you've 138 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.600 been searching for a shooter for forever, right right, right, So one 139 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.480 thing this team, this program has been missing since Selem and Caleb's one of 140 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.320 the better shooters that Arizona has had in a while. Now, he's still 141 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.519 he's not Seleem. He's not he's not Steve Cerry, he's not one of 142 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.240 those guys. He's not even I don't think he's even a damon stodamyer yet. 143 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.480 But he's still pretty damn good. And he's a guy that you know, 144 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.440 I see the ball in his hands at the end of the game, 145 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.919 and I'm like, okay with it? Now? Have I been okay with 146 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.720 every shot he's taken at the end of the at the end of a game, 147 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.960 or you know, or you know, at the end of a half. 148 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.759 No, and neither is Tommy, you know, he said, he 149 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.399 talked about you talk to him about that. But I like my chances with 150 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.639 him because, like I said, you know, if if the three pointer 151 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.000 isn't there, he can go he can go buy you. He can hit 152 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.399 the pull up jumper, he can go to the lane. He's very quick. 153 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.879 He has a little floater. He's got the floater like, he's got 154 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.200 all those options, and I like those. Yeah, yeah, that little 155 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.039 yeah. You know, Ben Mathon is either gonna and I just you know, 156 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.720 I think that Caleb love creates the three point and creates an open three 157 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.120 point shot better than Ben did, just because he's quicker. He's smaller and 158 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.399 quicker. You can't. You can talk for the next two three hours. 159 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.000 I know I'm not going to convince you. I'm just I'm convincing myself. 160 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.480 Let me ask you something. Is Caleb Lovell pro is the an NBA PLO. 161 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.200 I think he is. I think, but I think he's like more 162 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.159 of a point guard type of player. He's gonna have to handle the ball 163 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.039 point guard type. God, God help his teammates to get to that ball. 164 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:43.159 You don't have to learn well you know what. In fact, Tommy 165 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.759 has told him, you don't get people involved, so maybe he's I think 166 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.679 he's done a pretty good job of that this year, all things considered, 167 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:54.320 considering the the reputation he came in with, I think I think he has, 168 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.960 you know, and I think in that period of time that Kylin Boswall 169 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.360 was just not playing very well. I feel like, you know, he 170 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.960 like he had to, he had to put it on himself to you know, 171 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.879 put some points on the board and and uh and we have more of 172 00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.120 an impact like then when we saw the last few games that he you know, 173 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:16.679 he was back more within what they do because Colin Boswall was playing so 174 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.320 much better. Okay, that's cool, Okay, that's you know, anybody 175 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.200 want to call again. We can always talk about this anytime. Five two, 176 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.519 four, one, six, seventy four forty. So we have whole 177 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.360 house in the fourth of three now in about about ten minutes, ten minutes, 178 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.399 and then we'll have uh, Tommy Tommy Prescott. And he was pretty 179 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.240 good. He was pretty good. He was you know, and I thought 180 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.519 there's some decent questions asked, uh, you know, we'll we'll, we'll 181 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:43.320 get to all of that. But it's funny, you know. We had 182 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.879 some reaction to how he handles press conferences. You know when we played the 183 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.639 last one. Yeah, yeah, you know some people use some people texted 184 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.240 to you some texts and said he's a little snippy sometimes, right, No, 185 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.240 he is. He well, he doesn't want to be there. He 186 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.639 doesn't want to be there. He really think that, Yeah, he doesn't. 187 00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.320 He doesn't like he's rather be coaching than doing something. Well, I 188 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.519 know that. But I think he understands though that it's a part of it. 189 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.799 You can understand and know that he's trying to he's trying to get through 190 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.519 it quickly. Like he you know, you're asking a question, he doesn't 191 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.120 let you finish the question because he wants to answer the question and move on 192 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:16.879 to the next week. You have to catch a playing age, ADHD or 193 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:26.639 anything. What. I'm not a doctor because he does. I mean, 194 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.120 you know he again, he's you know, he's very you know, very 195 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:31.600 quick. He's trying to got to move things along. Got to move things 196 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.120 along, Got to move things along. In Arizona Athletics, which coach that 197 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.159 you guys have covered during their press conference has been the most attentive during that 198 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.440 time. Do you think which question? I'm sorry, out of all the 199 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.240 coaches in Arizona Athletics. Ever. Yeah, that you guys have covered which 200 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:54.039 one has been the most attentive at their pressers? Mike and Andrea?

I covered Jerry Kendall, who 203 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.039 was but he was too didn't want to be there.

Yeah, you know, I mean 205 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:15.240 Dick Tomy because he had told me of all the coaches, all the coaches 206 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.960 going to even what I see of coaches today, I feel like I had 207 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.559 the most respect for the job journalists had to do. Yeah, don't you 208 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.679 think he understood how hard it was? He also there were times when he 209 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.879 also tried to help you out in terms of what he's going through, to 210 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.759 help you understand you know. Yeah, that's true. You know, certain 211 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.639 questions you asked, you know, he advised us sometimes and so but you 212 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.639 know, Dick was kind of all around pretty good guy.

We kind of have a buy in our schedule. I 306 00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.960 gave them today off, so nice, it's a perfect It's kind of the 307 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.160 perfect time to do so, just because we have some nix and dings and 308 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.200 extra couple days arrest would be good for us.

All right, 313 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:45.759 we'll tell us a little bit about about this, this big win over Mesa 314 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:51.960 on last night, sixteen nine sixty two. What you know it? Why 315 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.440 is it big? Explain to us, Well, it's big just in terms 316 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.680 of the rivalry over the years has always been back and forth, and Mace 317 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.759 is always really good and they're currently ranked number four in the country and we 318 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:10.960 were ranked fourteenth. Our schedule this year is a little bit different because it's 319 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.599 a little bit unbalanced in terms of we play everybody in our league, but 320 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.359 we played the d Ones. The d One juco is only one time a 321 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.759 year, and now we play the D twos three times a year. So 322 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.599 we actually played two games at Mace already and we lost one of those by 323 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.079 one and one of those by four, So we knew we were close, 324 00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:32.519 and so you wanted to have a little momentum maybe heading into the playoff season. 325 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:36.759 And so that's why last nights was probably just big in terms of confidence 326 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.519 and the ladies being able to believe in themselves that we can beat them. 327 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.000 Okay, you used the word that we argue about every day, Jay and 328 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.160 I about momentum, but we won't go there. We want to respect your 329 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:55.119 respect your opinion. Are your pro momentum or anti momentum? I don't believe 330 00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.039 in it, and I know a lot of people are, But to me, 331 00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:02.000 it's it's every game is a season. Last night very well, next 332 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:03.960 game you have to do the same thing. It's and and last night's game 333 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:07.680 has nothing to do with this game, although you know what I'm saying. 334 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.920 It's every game is the season. Because you play against some team you played, 335 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.759 I call them runs. You're on a good run. Tell ye, 336 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.279 we are on a good run. I would agree, And maybe not so 337 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.359 much momentum as much as it is confidence big and we've talked, we've had 338 00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.920 that one being replaced with momentum, and I totally agree. And they're two 339 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.279 different words. They're two different they are Okay, no, let's not go 340 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.640 there anymore because okay, thanks, thanks for being involved in our family fight 341 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.519 over here. Yeah, but I agree with you, coach. I agree 342 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.200 with your coach, bros. Yes, yes, you've been doing this a 343 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:42.279 long time. I mean you must, it must bring joy to you because 344 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:48.240 you probably keeps you young too. Yeah. I love I love what I 345 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.640 do. And you know, it's funny because someone I ran into someone today 346 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.680 who is a friend of one of our former players from like ten years ago, 347 00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.240 and she said something about, coach, you just inspire all these all 348 00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:02.039 these kids to be great in life. And I'm like, you know, 349 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:06.440 what people don't realize is that kids inspire me too, because he gives me 350 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:08.759 a purpose every day to get up and do my best for them because I 351 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:11.680 don't want to let them down. So it kind of goes both ways in 352 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.880 terms of we may help them in life, but at the same time, 353 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.240 they're helping us as well. I mean, if you ask Ross, it's 354 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.160 the same thing. Why does he still coach because he loves it and loves 355 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.680 being around kids and it keeps you young, you know, So you have, 356 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.559 as you say, you have been doing this a while. Does your 357 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:33.599 team, I don't want to say makeup, but sort of it's identity changed 358 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.240 from year to year based on you know, who you've got or is it 359 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.039 kind of the same, and you recruit to that and you try to keep 360 00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:45.079 things sort of you know, stable or you know, you know what I'm 361 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.519 trying to get at. I mean, are you kind of the same year 362 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.319 or you think you're hitting on something that is probably individual to every coach. 363 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.599 But I would say that we recruit a certain type of kid because I'm kind 364 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:02.400 of a blue collar guy and you know, I was raised on farm country 365 00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:04.680 and working in the fields and doing all that kind of so I just only 366 00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:10.240 know how to work. So I enjoy being around people and kids that aren't 367 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:14.519 afraid to just work hard every day and understand that you don't get the instant 368 00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.400 credit gratification that a lot of kids want nowadays. But come the end of 369 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.279 February and March, if you just stay at it, you're going to be 370 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.880 playing some really good basketball. And I feel like that's what we're doing right 371 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.359 now. So let me ask you to go along with that momentum run type 372 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.480 of thing, but not really, how are you playing in your first part 373 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.759 of the of the year. What was the situation? Well, I think 374 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.400 when I talk to you guys in the fall, we have a group of 375 00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:42.200 twelve freshmen, and our freshmen are really talented. But the biggest thing is 376 00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:47.200 teaching freshmen. You know, you got twelve freshmen from all over different parts 377 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.200 of the country or this part of it, you know, Arizona. Getting 378 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:55.359 them to work together and figure out how we work as a team and how 379 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.960 we operate defensively as a team. And once they start figuring those things out, 380 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.599 that's when you get kind of these runs that you can go on where 381 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:06.240 even when we're traveling, we've played good defense. And so we always say 382 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.880 that defense travels. You may not always have a great shooting night, but 383 00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.640 you can always play defense and you can always rebound. And so I think 384 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.839 we're at that point where the freshman has kind of learned the expectations and then 385 00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.839 that's why it's kind of click in the way it is. Yeah, and 386 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.279 that's ever coach says this. You want to be playing your best basketball over 387 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.119 this time of year. But you know, who's to say you're gonna be 388 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.200 played basketball this well at this time of year. You just hope that they 389 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.319 improved and that's what's right. So, Todd, I was checking your resume 390 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.960 when we were agatting ready to get you on. But you've coached at all 391 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.079 three levels of high school. You're an assistant coach at the Jove, and 392 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:45.880 now you're at Pima. What are some of the aside from the talent level, 393 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.519 right, but what are the similarities and differences in the way players are 394 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.119 the way they approach the game at the three levels? You were at Floyd 395 00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.920 Wells, then I said, it's an assistant at the Jove and then PEMA, 396 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.480 So what you know, what, what can you tell all of coach 397 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.440 who's doing that well? I think that the easiest way to explain that is 398 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:08.000 in high school, you hope to have enough kids to feel the team, 399 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.880 and within that, you hope you have three or four good players, because 400 00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.400 in high school that's what you really need is if you have maybe even two 401 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.359 to three good players, you can be a really good team. And then 402 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.359 you know, I'll skip to the u of A obviously like you said, 403 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.119 that's a lot of talent. Like d one, kids are just talented, 404 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.480 and it's a matter of getting all the talent to kind of mesh together. 405 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:32.880 And then at the junior college level, kind of in between, you kind 406 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:37.359 of get a mix of kids who maybe haven't hit their prime yet or kids 407 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.319 who you know, maybe messed up academically or didn't get seen the way you 408 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.680 know they maybe could have or the exposure that they could have had, and 409 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:48.519 so you kind of get the kind of the influx of both. And so 410 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.599 I really enjoy the junior college level because of that, because you're not dealing 411 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:56.079 with the high school stuff, which I don't have to do with parents, 412 00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.039 and I just want kids to be focused on being young adults and how we're 413 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.799 going to get better, and I don't deal with a lot of the egos 414 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:07.680 that you now have with like the transfer portal and money and stuff like that. 415 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.279 I just feel like junior college is probably a little more pure in that 416 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.000 sense, And I could be deluded home because I love it. But at 417 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.559 the same time, we get kids that are hungry to prove themselves and if 418 00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.599 they just put in a little work with our reputation and stuff, they're going 419 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:25.920 to be able to move on to a four year university like they've always dreamed 420 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.359 about doing. I don't think we've asked you this since you come on this 421 00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:33.160 year, but how has the how has the transfer portal helped to hurt you 422 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.480 at the next level because it seems like, and I asked Peabody this too. 423 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.799 You know, teams are kind of swapping players at that higher level. 424 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.680 Does that take away from the girls that you're teaching now or coaching now? 425 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:52.279 I would agree that it does. In terms of a lot of schools now, 426 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:56.680 like in the past, we could get kids to Division two pretty easily 427 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.839 Anaia of course, but they can't offer as much money usually. But now 428 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.680 with the portal, a lot of those D two schools are waiting to see 429 00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:10.039 what D one kids didn't get what they thought they would, and they'll fall 430 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:11.440 back to a D two. So now at a D two level, you're 431 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:15.839 getting D one athletes that maybe thought they were better than they were but didn't 432 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:21.079 get anything. So now they're going they're filtering back into the D two's and 433 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:23.839 I feel like that kind of takes away opportunities from our JUCO kids. Is 434 00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.319 it impact you? Maybe it's too early to tell, right, if it's 435 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:33.599 impacting you know, who's coming to play junior college at athletics, or if 436 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.400 they're instead of doing that, they're looking at Anaia School or something like that. 437 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.559 I think the trickle down effect would be that I think we get better 438 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:48.119 high school kids now because the portal has taken away a lot of opportunities for 439 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.519 high school seniors that would have normally gone on and now the D one's kind 440 00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.319 of swap players. Like you said, so the high school kids that had 441 00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.880 the potential go D one maybe don't get the opportunity they thought, so you 442 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.599 go becomes a more viable route for them, and so we occasionally sneak into 443 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.440 you know, maybe we get a D one type of kid that just didn't 444 00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.799 get the looks or get the offer that they wanted, so it can benefit 445 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.920 us as well. Yeah, Okay, I was gonna ask you a dumb 446 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.359 question because I know you probably want to answer it, but because every question 447 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:21.160 I asked is dumb. But you know, we've been talking about how how 448 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:26.240 far des everyone have to go to be to be worthwhile and not disappointing right 449 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:30.119 for you, And I'm asking the wrong guy, cause you're the coach. 450 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.440 Nothing less than the championship is going to satisfy you. But you want success. 451 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.839 I mean, how far can you go realistically and far? I know 452 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:42.519 it's a tough question to ask. It's I feel like getting to Nationals every 453 00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:48.640 year is the is the destination because once you get to Nationals, then you're 454 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.640 kind of playing with house money in terms of just being healthy, getting a 455 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.960 few breaks. You can make a good run. But I think the crowning 456 00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:59.960 jewel for us is to qualify the Nationals so that we can get a chance 457 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.960 to show what we're made of of your X amount of years there, how 458 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:06.880 many times you've done that? You've done that a few times? Yeah, 459 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.640 we've we've gone eight times. Okay, so we either of us are matesay 460 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.480 usually, but this year they've actually at the Juico level. Used to be 461 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.440 the sixteen region winners would go, but now it's the sixteen region winners plus 462 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.039 four at large bids. So having a good resume may benefit us as well 463 00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:26.119 this year in case you were to get tripped up in the region tournament. 464 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.519 Okay, all right, we're talking to Todd hold House, the head women's 465 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:33.599 basketball coach at Pima. Todd tell us a little about your team. You 466 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.960 know who you know, you're you're pretty well into it, so you're established 467 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.960 just to roles and things like that. Who you know, if somebody comes 468 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.519 out to watch you guys play, who are they looking for? Well, 469 00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.960 I think the thing that they'll notice the most is we play fast and we 470 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.519 play really good defense. And I think that that's probably what we do best 471 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:57.200 this year. And it takes takes work and time and patience to teach them 472 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.759 how we want them to play. But if you look at UH conference standings, 473 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:07.799 we're the number one team in terms of field goal opponent field goal percentage. 474 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.400 And I take a lot of pride in that because if you can make 475 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:12.640 people struggle every night from the field, no matter what you're doing offensively, 476 00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:19.319 you're always going to be in a fight. Yeah, all right, we've 477 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:22.400 got stuff coming up. You've got you got the weekend off. But uh, 478 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.839 you know, how do you how do you? Uh, I don't 479 00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.039 know how you set yourself up for you know, for a big finish. 480 00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:30.240 Well, I think we're in a good spot. We'll get a couple of 481 00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:33.119 days off, uh to just kind of like I said, heel up and 482 00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:37.359 get fresh, and then we have five more regular season games and then it's 483 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.799 right in the playoffs. So when we come back, we got a two 484 00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:42.599 home games right away, so that should be able to build momentum. And 485 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:45.079 then we have to go on the road to Scottsdale, which will be tough, 486 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:49.200 and so just building a little bit of momentum so that that first week 487 00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.319 in March we're feeling good, we can get in the playoffs and make a 488 00:31:52.400 --> 00:32:00.400 run. Yeah yeah, yeah, but you can still use the one. 489 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.440 So coach, let me ask you this is maybe a funny question, but 490 00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.039 you've had you've had coach you Roz there for a long time now, and 491 00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:14.160 he loves the game. He's a great mentor to people, not just just 492 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:19.480 in basketball. What's what's his significance with you and what do you lean on 493 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:23.680 him for. I think that he's just he's just experienced, like he's been 494 00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.880 through it all. He's been to the top of the mountain and he's had 495 00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:30.759 to fight his way back up and doing those things. And I just think 496 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:34.960 his ability to relate to kids at his age is you know, something that 497 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.480 I've always admired in terms of he's even as I get older, he's significantly 498 00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:44.359 older than I am. And so just his ability to relate at the age 499 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.480 of seventy eight to twenty year old is pretty amazing to watch every day. 500 00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:51.519 And they love him. I've told you guys that in the past it he's 501 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:52.960 tough on him, but by the end of the year they realize that it's 502 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:58.160 all about love and one and the best for the kid. Yeah. I 503 00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.640 feel the same way with Jay. He's significantly older than me. He just 504 00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:05.200 doesn't give you the wisdom. You set him up, God, you set 505 00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:09.359 him up. He really did. That was a shot was it just got 506 00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:14.160 teed up nicely for him?

I explain to people, I said, we don't do a lot 563 00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.920 to prepare. You know, we if we prepare in visually to keep an 564 00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:02.000 eye on, you know, things that are going on right use of the 565 00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:07.440 day, all that kind of stuff, so that we have topics to talk 566 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:09.119 about, and we do, and we have some every day.

But you know, I explained, Look, we get 569 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.840 in there, you know, we we talk, we chat, and we 570 00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:23.159 don't a lot of times we're mostly just off the cuff. Yeah, it's 571 00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:25.719 not I don't want to call it ad libbing. But what we do is, 572 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.079 you know, we don't I don't want to know what you're thinking. 573 00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:30.440 You do, you don't know what I'm thinking, So that when we it's 574 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.960 when we're talking about stuff like you didn't know I was going to ask you 575 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.639 this question. No, no, no, I definitely didn't. The one 576 00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:40.119 question the toughest part of this job is obvious, what do you think it 577 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:45.639 is?

By the way, 579 00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:52.960 getting guests, you know, getting the guess that we get because many 580 00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.199 times they're not available the night before or day before, and we do it 581 00:37:55.239 --> 00:38:00.280 the day and you know, yeah, well we like to, as we 582 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:01.519 say, just in keeping with the show, we like to talk about the 583 00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:05.119 things that are going on today. So you can sometimes just got to get 584 00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:07.800 up in the morning and see what's happening to me side're going to have on 585 00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:08.760 the show. Now, we do things ahead of time. Right, We've 586 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:14.239 got a SU coming in for a basketball game on Saturday, so we've lined 587 00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:19.239 up Kyle Dodd, the ASU radio play color analysts, to be on the 588 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:22.880 show tomorrow so we can talk about a SU. Jake Fisher comes on on 589 00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:27.119 a regular basis. He's a sponsor, and we you know, Jake's former 590 00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.679 football player, and we get to talk to him about the experience of being 591 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.599 a player in all these different scenarios that things might have come up during the 592 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:38.960 course of a week. You know, we hadn't talked to Todd hold House 593 00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:42.800 in a while. They had a huge game last night. We get up 594 00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:45.159 to day and say Todd would be a good guy to come on the show. 595 00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:47.840 Right, Sometimes they're available, sometimes they're not right right, And that's 596 00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:52.440 the whole thing. When can they talk either practice or no practice at that 597 00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:54.840 time? And a lot of guys are real busy. I mean, we've 598 00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.400 talked to Kerr. We were supposed to have him on soon at any time, 599 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:01.800 maybe during the break and whatever, and we were connected to the people, 600 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:06.800 so you know, but that's I think that's that's the question I obviously 601 00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.519 get asked. Let me take this call. Hi, you're on the air 602 00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:15.119 and eye on the ball. This is Gabe. How are you guys doing. 603 00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:22.960 I'm doing pretty good. Hey. Can we talk about yesterday with what 604 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:30.800 happened at what happened Kansas City with the mass shooting yesterday? Yeah, sure, 605 00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:32.920 go ahead, what do you Yeah? I would love to hear your 606 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:40.679 no cussing. I won't trust me on that. So with these mass shootings, 607 00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.719 let me just be let me just be honest. Mass shootings is up 608 00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:53.840 in America. Are just are just as Americans as are are as American as 609 00:39:53.960 --> 00:40:00.440 apple pie and and baseball. So that's why God just ay. So the 610 00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:08.199 reason why we don't have any any any issue any fixing this problem is because 611 00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:16.440 the gun lobby a corrupt politicians both mostly on the on the mostly on the 612 00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:23.039 Republican Party and some on the Democratic Party, and with their legalized bribes. 613 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:30.679 So that's why we can't get any common sense gun, any any common sense 614 00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:38.400 gun, any common sense gun legislation get get passed because the gun lobby, 615 00:40:38.599 --> 00:40:49.079 n r A and every scene like the the gun lobby and and ANII basically 616 00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:53.599 bribes our politicians, mostly on the mostly on the Republican side, some on 617 00:40:53.639 --> 00:41:00.800 the Democratic side. And so this issue is not gonna get solved. And 618 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:06.320 I'm probably and we're gonna pre and we're probably gonna hear another mass shooting in 619 00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:09.280 a couple of months, maybe maybe a few weeks, how about maybe way 620 00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:19.599 you guys think we're probably gone the college probably probably after the u A or 621 00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:28.360 who knows. We can't we check in the United States. Yeah, I 622 00:41:27.519 --> 00:41:32.760 have my disagree with what I have to say, but we're gonna solve this 623 00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.559 issue a game. You know, you're you're preaching to the choir. I 624 00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:43.000 think over here we I ranted a little bit about it yesterday when this thing 625 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.199 happened. Yeah, and uh, you know, I I don't know what 626 00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:50.719 I know what the answer is, but it's not an answer that's gonna be 627 00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:53.039 I think a lot of us know what the answer is, but it's not 628 00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:58.480 an answer that is going to please certain aspects of our society. And we're 629 00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:02.440 stuck with this right now. That's what I think. I didn't I didn't 630 00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:10.320 I didn't hear what you have to say because I witched to not speaker just 631 00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.639 saying that. I'm just saying that we are. I think everybody recognizes what 632 00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:17.039 the problem is and what the solution is, but we're just not. Uh, 633 00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:22.800 we're we can't get this country on the same page to think to do 634 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:28.320 anything, and unfortunately that we're stuck. And that's where we are. Yeah, 635 00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:32.599 we are. We are stuck on an endless loop of violence. Thought 636 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:38.800 after a mass shooting happens, saut and prayers, sat and players. Okay, 637 00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:44.000 what is your saust and prayers gonna do? Oh yeah right, absolutely 638 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:50.039 nothing, So dove your thoughts and prayers up your sugar, honey. I 639 00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:54.199 see all right, Gabe. I can tell you're frustrated. So thanks, 640 00:42:54.719 --> 00:43:00.000 thanks for your opinion. We value it. We appreciate your colling. Okay, 641 00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:06.320 down, and that's how we end the call. Yes, I don't 642 00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:07.840 even know where my shooter. Hut, honey, I met. Yeah, 643 00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:13.800 I was really scared there for a second. Yeah, okay, very serious 644 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:16.840 conversation, very serious topic gave. We appreciate the call, We appreciate the 645 00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:22.199 opinion. Again, I think you're preaching to the choir in this room and 646 00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:24.480 that we're just kind of stuck where we are right now. You know, 647 00:43:24.519 --> 00:43:29.519 incredibly unfortunate situation. Uh. You know, you've got names and stuff coming 648 00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:32.039 out. The person that was killed was a DJ who was just working there, 649 00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:37.320 forty someone with kids, and the whole bit. If you've been on 650 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:40.199 social media, you've seen video of this thing happening. You've seen video of 651 00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:46.280 the of the shooters getting caught, the size of the weapon that that that 652 00:43:46.320 --> 00:43:50.199 they had, it's just unbelievable stuff. I was listening to this morning and 653 00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:52.199 this is a kind of off topic, but on topic. Uh, coming 654 00:43:52.239 --> 00:44:00.039 in again today and ninety seven Arizona wins the national title. What were you 655 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:02.960 you were? You were at the event. So we come home to the 656 00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:09.280 fourth and fourth avenue being torch exactly obviously, no no rhyme or reason. 657 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:16.000 People being foolish and doing this stuff. That camp it's you can be prevented, 658 00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:20.920 but you know it's not can't it can't be prevented. Well, yeah, 659 00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:22.599 we'll see, we'll see. And that's the thing you know that, 660 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.159 Uh I watched the press conference out by the by the I guess it was 661 00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:31.000 the police chief in Kansas City saying we had hundreds of officers here, heavily 662 00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:37.159 armed on rooftops all over the place, and yet this happened. Ye and 663 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.280 and and you know the thing that you and I talked about yesterday. And 664 00:44:40.360 --> 00:44:43.840 then you say you're not gonna you know, you're not going to stop all 665 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:46.159 of these things from happening no matter what you do. But I think you 666 00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:50.599 can stop some of them. And and this is an example. Well, 667 00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:53.199 let me tell you, here's the piercer percentage. A million people downtown at 668 00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:58.519 that event. Two people, three people may be involved in this. What's 669 00:44:58.519 --> 00:45:02.280 the percentage of that? And just don't even takes one person that you know, 670 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:07.559 that plan something to do that. My point on this was these these 671 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:14.760 were two teenagers with assault rifles. Okay, if assault rifles were illegal in 672 00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.599 the United States, maybe there's a chance they don't get their hands on these 673 00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:22.360 assault rifles, right, and do what they did? Now, do they 674 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.039 get their hands on some other gun. Yeah, probably. But the point 675 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:29.599 being, though you're never gonna stop all of these is people are held bent 676 00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:32.400 on killing people. They're gonna kill people. Making some of this you can 677 00:45:32.480 --> 00:45:37.199 stop. I think of the Sandy Hook shooter. You know that the kid 678 00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:40.400 his mom bought him a damn assault rifle. What if she hadn't bought him 679 00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:44.679 an assault rifle? What if he didn't have that rifle? Could we have 680 00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:49.280 prevented that one? That one? They're just making it there with with not 681 00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:52.320 addressing it, they're making any making it easier. Right, Let's make it 682 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:54.159 harder. Instead of making it easier, Let's make it harder. And and 683 00:45:54.320 --> 00:46:00.840 unfortunately there's a segment of our of our uh political people in power who think 684 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.599 the answer is to make it easier to get more people with guns. Well, 685 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:07.639 how many more people with guns would they have needed yesterday to keep that 686 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:10.119 from happening. There weren't enough. There wouldn't have been enough. You's so, 687 00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:15.159 let's okay, I've ever ended politics. We tried. It's not that 688 00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.039 we try not to do that on the show. But gay brought it up. 689 00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:22.599 Sure, okay, let's stop. Let's okay, right, move on? 690 00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:27.559 What else? Talk to Todd. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna 691 00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:30.519 say, you want you want to do the talk about the runders. Yeah, 692 00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:34.079 yeah, we got five minutes. Okay, So the over unders uh 693 00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:38.400 came out on bet online. Uh. One of the offshore bucks over underwin 694 00:46:38.599 --> 00:46:44.239 totals for football next year. Have you seen it? Have you seen it? 695 00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:51.960 Where do you think Arizona's landed seven point eight point five? Wow? 696 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:54.719 Ding? Ding? Ding? Seven and a half was too low? And 697 00:46:54.760 --> 00:47:00.079 eight five five? Because they have to win nine right and a half and 698 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:04.599 a half. Uh. Now, they're not the top win in the conference. 699 00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:08.920 Utah and Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas State, Utah and Kansas 700 00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:12.800 State came in at nine and a half. Wow. Wow, So they're 701 00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.400 not the they're not even the second favorite to win the crime. Right, 702 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:19.559 They've got Kansas State, who Arizona will play in, not in a non 703 00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.719 conference game, because it's gonna be well, Arizona's got you Kansas State and 704 00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:28.599 Utah back to back. Wow, that's early early pressure. We're gonna well 705 00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:32.039 early pressure, but an early sign. Uh. Who they you know, 706 00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:38.400 how good are they going to be? Kansas Kansas States is here here there, 707 00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:44.960 Kansas State is there. Both both on the Road both on the Kansas 708 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:49.159 State, and I think there's a bye after Kansas State, though I believe. 709 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:52.440 I think so. I think so. I believe there's like the twenty 710 00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:54.679 ninth is twenty Yeah, I'm looking that up right now because I believe that 711 00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:58.480 is. Yeah, that's a that's a that's a pretty good early schedule right 712 00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:01.400 away. Yeah, we're gonna go any something like that, and then then 713 00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:06.280 Kansas State and the yeah they well, Kansas State is a Friday night game, 714 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:10.079 and then there's and then oh no, it's oh it's it's Friday or 715 00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:16.679 Saturday. It's either or. But you got New Mexico and au Kansas State, 716 00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:22.199 at Kansas State and then at Utah two weeks later. Okay, so 717 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.679 we're gonna have an early indication of who they are. I didn't think that 718 00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:30.239 Kansas State would be that well. I don't know, but that's hard for 719 00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:32.599 me to believe they're pretty good because we thought, you know, Utah, 720 00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:37.960 obviously, Arizona's gonna be what it has and uh, it's gonna be fun. 721 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:42.679 It's gonna be fun. And there's there's four teams at eight and a 722 00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:46.360 half. Arizona is one of them four teams that are at eight and a 723 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:52.320 half wins. You got Kansas Kansas, Kansas is at eight and a half. 724 00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:54.559 Here's another Texas Tech at eight and a half. And Arizona plays Texas 725 00:48:54.599 --> 00:49:00.119 Tech after Utah. So now there's there's three games in a row. Well, 726 00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:02.559 this one was surprised you. Central Florida was at eight and a half. 727 00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:07.719 Hey, the eight and a half might be tough to get to. 728 00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.559 Yeah, yeah, you can't just assume that they're just gonna go in there 729 00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:14.760 and win. And then you've got you got some teams at seven and a 730 00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:17.400 half. You got Iowa State seven and a half, TCU at seven and 731 00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:22.280 a half, Oklahoma State at seven and a half. What do you think, 732 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:27.119 I know who somebody's gotta lose? Right, Well, you got their 733 00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:30.719 non conference games, you know, okay Aarzone and Arizona and Kansas State in 734 00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:32.960 a non conference game. That's kind of an outlier. You know, some 735 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:38.000 of these other teams have three winnable non conference four and a half. Steve 736 00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:42.280 Man, you, well, the other teams are so good. I mean 737 00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.239 they got to win their conference game. Here's a surprise, because I thought 738 00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:46.880 they were better. B Yu was in at four and a half. Wow, 739 00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:51.800 yeah, yeah, wow. So anyway, so that's that's what the 740 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:53.760 Big twelve looks like. Well, we run out of time here before we 741 00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:58.760 get to breaking news, but they've got them out also for the Big ten 742 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:05.440 and well all the all the major comp Washington, Washington is at six seven 743 00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:09.000 and a half, seven and a half.
