I was Chicago. 15 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.040 When you're saying, okay, you're going trying to get back to Chicago, 16 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.719 Yeah, okay, Okay, good, good to tell you. Good to 17 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.000 have you in. We'll probably ask you things. Going on another day here 18 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.359 in Paradise, Another day in paradise, in Paradise, another loss. You 19 00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:30.799 hate today? I hate the Astros, but I already hated the Astros so 20 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.680 and I don't know that I could hate him more than I did before the 21 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.959 game yesterday. Yeah, I just so, someone said to me today or 22 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.879 yeah, this morning, He says, I liked what you told Jay yesterday 23 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.200 because it's true. Uh, when you said they're dead to you? Yeah, 24 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.079 And I said, well, what team is it? They are? 25 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:51.719 They are? And they were dead to me. But you know, I 26 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.120 did take a little solace in the fact that by picking them they lost so 27 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.280 anothery're in the hole too, oh, having to go on the road. 28 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.640 They're gonna get swapped. So I did my part. It only cost me 29 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:07.640 ten bucks. Yea, it only cost me ten bucks. Can't do with 30 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.360 that, Okay, totally Jay logic, Yes, it makes perfect sense. 31 00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.439 Okay, No, welcome back, uh, Jed. We talked about Jed 32 00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:21.080 and his decision. I saw the headline in the Star that he doesn't know 33 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.120 what he's gonna do yet, right, He kind of in decides and decides 34 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.319 he has ready to make a decision right he doesn't. He does, He 35 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.159 doesn't have to make a decision right now. But let me tell you something 36 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.960 I would guess and maybe you could tell me if I'm wrong. Eighty eighty 37 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.680 five percent of the people, if not more, if not more, want 38 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.639 for Peter to start well too. And two things are in play there. 39 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.919 And as much as I hate to bring this up, a part of a 40 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:45.719 part of why Jane Delora has lost a lot of favor in this town is 41 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.240 because the whole Hawaiian said, Yeah, people are pissed at that. You 42 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.439 know, they feel like they almost feel betrayed bye bye by Jadeen because he 43 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.240 was he came here, he'd been here. Then all of a sudden it 44 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.560 comes out that this thing has been going on for a year, a couple 45 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.560 of years. And I think you'll feel if you'll betrayed by by all of 46 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.120 that, and not that you can say, okay, hi, I'm coming 47 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:08.879 and guess what I did this right. It's not going to do that. 48 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.039 But I think there's a lot of people out there, and I run into 49 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.439 a lot and say, you know what, if we've got a quarterback who's 50 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.560 really good. Then you know, then let's go with that, right. 51 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.879 No, no, it doesn't have the baggage. Yeah, the baggage. 52 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.319 Yeah, and I haven't heard much of the baggage because of this. But 53 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.400 but he you have your quarterback. You have a quarterback. Have a quarterback. 54 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.439 Don't screw with a big good thing or the don't broke, don't put 55 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.840 fix or whatever. I went back and watched a good chunk of the game 56 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.800 this morning on the you know that sixty minute I think you know, wait 57 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.840 well for two things. One, when you see when you see the plays, 58 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.560 you know, without the huddles, so one play right, explain next 59 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.639 play, next play, next play. It kind of magnifies you know what 60 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.680 you're what you're seeing and what you saw. What you see with Fafita is 61 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.599 how decisive he is, you know, with with with with the with the 62 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.479 passing game. He's I mean, you rarely, you're rarely sitting there like 63 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:08.280 looking around. He finds somebody and he gets rid of it. He had 64 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.560 a nice side arm throw where a guy was on top of him and he 65 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.439 kind of threw a side arm around him and found a t mac in a 66 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.879 you know, a big third down play. Things like that. Then the 67 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:24.600 other thing I saw was how smothering the defense was no, no, they 68 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.839 just it was crazy. Like I said yesterday, I was impressed throughout the 69 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.600 whole game because I'm thinking, like you, Smidge, thinking that, Okay, 70 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.639 Washington's gonna come back at some point. You didn't allow it. He 71 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.720 didn't allow it. And then I did something on Twitter. Really, you 72 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.360 know, I'm really on Twitter. I said, let me pause this for 73 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.160 analysis. F Fita is very impressive. Yeah, it's what you saw on 74 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.199 the sixties. Right. He doesn't get flustered. He just does his job 75 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.199 and he's just impressive in a simple kind of way. Yeah. And then 76 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.360 those times that you see him, like say after a play, yeah, 77 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.079 right, and he's looking at the bench or whatever. M hm, his 78 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.920 eyes aren't big, you know, he's like he's calm as hell, right, 79 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.360 and and uh, you know that's that's sort of I don't know if 80 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:13.319 you want to call it an IT factor or or something that a guy just 81 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.040 has. What got that? What was the what was the one thing that 82 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.839 we saw eighteen months ago when we first went to practice, Right, we 83 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.560 heard all the hype about him, which was very right, legit, Jayden 84 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.160 was Jaden was Jaden and we're thinking, what was his biggest criticism for FRIEDA 85 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.319 he's short short, doesn't that doesn't seem to matter. Okay, look, 86 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.639 maybe he's not going to be an NFL quarterback, but he can be a 87 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.680 really damn good college quarterback, right And he's a he's a he's a wretched 88 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:49.319 freshman and just is you know, just the poise, the poison, the 89 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.800 knowledge of he knows where guys are supposed to be. You know, there 90 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.680 was a great throw that he made. It was in the second half. 91 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.839 I think it was their their first possession of the second half when they went 92 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.839 down and I think they ended up kicking a field goal. But he throws 93 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:11.040 this. He threw an NFL pass to to uh to maclachlin. Okay, 94 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.040 just you know Maclochlin almost like a wheel route. He just went up the 95 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.839 sideline, got behind a defender and he hit him on the run. He 96 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.959 takes it down inside the five and then he always has his safety valve, 97 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.959 h his his team. He knows where that guy is every time, and 98 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.439 he found him a few times in that situation. I think you so want 99 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:31.959 a third down or whatever was It's just you know, So when you, 100 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.439 like I said, when you watch it in that mode and you see play 101 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.720 one right after another in quick succession, you had a real sense of what 102 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:45.519 was going on right, you know, on on the field, and Arizona 103 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:46.920 was just really good. That what do you think? What do you think? 104 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.560 Uh? And I'm asking you to do something you shouldn't do, but 105 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.240 get into the mind of Jed And what do you think he's thinking about this 106 00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.000 team? Like he said Saturday night, He's thinking, damn it, I 107 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.000 wish we hadn't lost in Mississippi's team in USC. We should have won those 108 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.160 games, right, I mean, we should have won those damn games. 109 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.759 We should be six and one right now. That's what I'm thinking, because 110 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.560 I saw I saw a good chunk at USC last week. They looked like 111 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:15.800 crap. They don't look good. Yeah, and you know they they look 112 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.879 worse than I thought they were going to be during the summer and I thought 113 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.959 they were the third or fourth best team in the league. I was reading 114 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.319 something. I don't know how legitimate it is, but it seems like like 115 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.519 Caleb has become this guy, right, and he has become this guy and 116 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.199 the rest of the guys are thinking you're not that guy. You're you're a 117 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.839 tour team. Don't leave us. And there might be some fractions inside the 118 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.199 well. But I also think there's there's an expectation that because they have the 119 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.920 Heisman Trophy winner from last year, they can come up. But they should 120 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.199 be really damn good and he should be able to fix anything. Yeah, 121 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.439 they're a terrible defensive team. Yeah, they're not just bad, they're terrible. 122 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.160 No, and when he gets them in trouble, even worse. Because 123 00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:00.120 last week he got to got him in trouble turnovers and stuff like that. 124 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.160 So he's not gonna be able to do that right. And I don't know. 125 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.279 I don't have a bet with you. I just don't feel that they're 126 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.680 most they're gonna get into the playoffs with the with the championship game US. 127 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.800 No, No, I'm talking about PAC twelve. Oh wow, it's gonna 128 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.040 be Washington and Oregon again. And I really like Oregon the second time. 129 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.560 Yeah, but again, you know, depending on what else goes on, 130 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.439 if they're both sitting there at eleven and one or twelve and one, if 131 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:30.360 you know, they could both get in, I don't. I don't. 132 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.559 I don't have any confidence at the committee will put two PAC twelve teams in. 133 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.720 Yeah, but you know, look at the SEC. You know who 134 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.720 besides Georgia deserves it. I don't know. Maybe you guys think because the 135 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.639 PAC twelve has been notable this year because of Colorado and other teams, uh, 136 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.919 maybe that more eyes are on the PAC twelve and because of the quarterbacks 137 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.360 they are that that could help them with this, right, and there there's 138 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.519 more eyes on the on the on the Pack twelve because of Colorado. For 139 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.879 better or's that's my point, for better or worse. I mean, you 140 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.200 know we're just seeing a lot more of that. I mean, what do 141 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.519 you think. I mean, it's like there just seems to be so much 142 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.279 more attention. I think as far as the PAC twelve goes, it's really 143 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.480 unfortunate what's going on with the conference realignment considering the teams you have this year, 144 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.360 right, Pack twelve, like so many eyeballs on Colorado, USC, 145 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.080 Oregon, Washington and you brought you brought up the defense for USC. I 146 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.759 think there's a little bit of like Colorado to USC. I think you have 147 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.000 like like obviously not the start coach, right, but you have a start 148 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.159 quarterback who's expected to maybe bring wins that he might not be able to deliver 149 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.000 on his own as a solo guy. Show Sudar and Williams like they can't 150 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.360 win games on their own, right, you have to have a defense, 151 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.720 and these neither of those schools have defenses. And I think all while that's 152 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.679 happening, you have Oregon Washington teams, like you mentioned, kind of slowly 153 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.200 building just to go into a different conference. So definitely all eyes around the 154 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.240 PAC twelve. I feel like coming into it's a super second. So it's 155 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:07.000 twelve games, Uh, Washington is eleven or twelve when Oregon is eleven and 156 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.159 one, right, whatever, and they play each other in Oregon wins, 157 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:15.159 that Oregon would be be the choice, right, don't Well, Oregon, 158 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.159 it'd be the first choice. Okay, So then you have Washington State, 159 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.519 who they might have the been Trophy winner, So how would you not could 160 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.679 include them? Look, and let's remember TCU who was TCU last year? 161 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.279 It came out of nowhere. They lost their conference championship game and they still 162 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.639 got into the playoffs, so and played crazy good Yeah and until the championship 163 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.639 Yeah you know, but so yeah, I mean there's a look, there's 164 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.200 still a lot to happen, you know. Watch. The thing is every 165 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.159 every Pack Puff team has a tough schedule the rest of the way. Let's 166 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:50.879 talk real quick about who we have on. We have Michael eleven the first 167 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.039 hour, right usual, we'll go back and see what he sees because he 168 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.679 sees a lot of good things. Uh, that'll be at three fifteen, 169 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.919 three seventeen, right about that, and then we can Ted Robinson what we're 170 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.639 talking about with all eyes more on the PAC twelve does what does it mean 171 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:07.519 in the future, Yeah, for you know, in a month or yeah, 172 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.279 you know it. Haads a play by play guy for Packed pub Network, 173 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.879 so you see, he gets to see all the teams. Yeah, 174 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.759 so we'll see what, you know, what what he thinks. But the 175 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.559 PAC twelve has not been the Packed off has been what people are expecting it 176 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.879 to be really good and the fact that that game was so darn good it 177 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.759 was cool, he makes kind of elevates elevates the league even more. Yeah, 178 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:33.639 I mean, you know, there's still people saying it was the best 179 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.960 game of the year, you know, even with what happened with the Oklahoma 180 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.639 Texas game. Yeah, and that was that was an incredible game too, 181 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:45.639 you know, so I I, you know, I almost feel like there'd 182 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.919 be some sentimental value to the fact the league is breaking up and they're gonna 183 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:50.519 say, you know, okay, let's get a couple of teams in there, 184 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.960 if they're both good, if they're worthy. I thought you can say, 185 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:56.879 oh, let's kind of get the band, you know, if they're 186 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.600 if they're worthy, I mean, I don't expect them to not be in 187 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.960 the league. But right now, you know, I've seen, you know, 188 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.159 I watched a lot of football. I watch at the college football. 189 00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.559 They're two of the three best teams that I've seen, the other one being 190 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:15.559 who Georgia Georgia and I don't they haven't been great. The team that's kind 191 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.799 of stuck in there for whatever reason. I only see them. Well, 192 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.080 there's Florida's Florida State, Tolordida State. I saw Florida State play I Softloresa 193 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.919 State and nearly lose to Boston College. Yeah no. And then there's Michigan. 194 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.240 All right, Michigan, but again, who's Michigan played so far? 195 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.360 Right, then they're not gonna playing but great until like next month. So 196 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.120 in Ohio State played and they didn't again and that gets to you talk about 197 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.799 Ohio State Michigan. They you know, they go undefeated or lose one game 198 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.919 every year. Well, the rest of the league sucks, right, you 199 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:50.639 know, after after a High State and Michigan, everybody's been Iowa. Iowa 200 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.000 has one loss and they're averaging like eight points a game. We were talking 201 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.120 about that with with someone today. They could sneak into something, and they're 202 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.639 not very attractive. They could they could get I've heard the rest of your 203 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:05.320 schedule was terrible. Yeah, they could get to the They could get to 204 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.879 the Big Ten championship game with an eleven and one record. Then what happens 205 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.120 if all of a sudden they hold Ohio State to fourteen points and they win 206 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.279 seventeen to fourteen. Yeah, fifteen to fourteen. So I saw today some 207 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.679 pole I can't remember what was the guy who who picked the bowl games already, 208 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:26.320 you know it's Arizona in a bowl game against Oklahoma State, kind of 209 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:28.960 like the Independence bullish. I saw. I saw one projection that had him 210 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.000 in the sun Ball against Georgia Tech. Okay, and that's that's moving up 211 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.360 the last This is what day is that it's like three or four new years 212 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.279 because this was the twenty sixth, but my game game, so it's something 213 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.919 like that. I think the sun Ball is like on the thirty, okay, 214 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.639 twenty. It's late, it's late, in the very late toasa. 215 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.919 I do you love to go see that? But I've already got plans between 216 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.720 Christmas and years. So they play a bowl game between Christmas and the years. 217 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.679 I don't. Oh, then you're done, You're done, You're not 218 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.720 going. Well, they got to get there first, Yeah, they got 219 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.679 to get there. Look, I think I based on how they played Saturday 220 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:09.759 and they've got three wins left on their schedule. Sure, yeah, no, 221 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.399 no, I get I totally get it. But but but but they're 222 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.360 Arizona. Yeah, and were Arizona, and they may not play like that 223 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.039 again, Sure I don't. I do think though, we talked about this 224 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:26.039 yesterday that it helps with selling tickets and he said, one more flight, 225 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.559 one more playing, and the restaurant home, and they'll have people in the 226 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.440 stands to go see them. Yeah, of course unless they have poop the 227 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:37.960 bed and then they can't they can't let they can't let the Oregon State come 228 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.879 in, you know from Saturday and just you know, they can't lose. 229 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.960 Did you thirty five to tend Did you see them?

Hey, welcome back to 338 00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:38.000 the ball hero Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. He's Jacinsauce. 339 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.920 Now on the phone, we have the Arizona Daily Star columnist Michael liv Michael, 340 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:47.359 how are you, hey, guys? How's it going good? Good? 341 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.160 A week off for you guys? Or is it really well? I 342 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:59.640 mean it's not a full week off. I have several assignments and places to 343 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.200 be over the next several days, and Justin my colleague is also working on 344 00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:07.279 some stuff. But it's definitely a lighter week when you don't have a game, 345 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.240 especially a game that starts at seven thirty pm, and you're you know, 346 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.319 you're not going to bed until like four in the morning the next day. 347 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.519 So yeah, it's all good. Better you than me. Yeah, 348 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.079 I'm getting up at four in the morning because I go to bed at six 349 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.079 o'clock the night. Right again, my tap yoka and I hit the sack. 350 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.240 So hey, So Michael, you're you're missing all the packbull Doctor Dark 351 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.240 to do that. Okay, maybe much more of it left. I'll stay 352 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.720 up for that a couple more months, and that's it. I know. 353 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:40.640 I'm sad about that. So Michael, first impressions after the game were, 354 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:45.559 what were your first thoughts when you saw what happened? God Like? So 355 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:51.319 I wouldn't say that I was stunned, more like pleasantly surprised, but man, 356 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:59.720 what a what an outstanding overall all around performance by the Wildcats. I 357 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:04.799 would say, clearly the best game that they've played under Jetfish and and really 358 00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:10.759 maybe not even close good in every single phase. Like I came out of 359 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:12.480 there going like, man, I have like no notes, you know, 360 00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.480 like like what are what are we even critiquing here. My report card was 361 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.799 all ways except for I think I did the the the offensive line a B 362 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:29.160 plus. You know, I think I think we knew. I think we 363 00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:33.880 knew that they were capable of being really good. But even Jetfish himself, 364 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.319 like when if you watch the video that the U of A put out like 365 00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.319 you know, the sites and sounds like big question of the team was are 366 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.839 we for real? Because they had come so close and they hadn't finished the 367 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.920 job, and they they finished the job and then some on saturdayay employment, 368 00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:55.720 Yeah, no, no question. I was gonna say now, I was 369 00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:59.079 gonna ask any different question if I could. I'm gonna change gears just for 370 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.480 the moment. So what's you did a very good job with the with the 371 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.720 decommitment of of UH with rushing right. I'm sure that people a lot of 372 00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.039 work and a lot of thought into it. This may be a tough question 373 00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.240 to answer. Did you leave some thoughts or impressions from others because you had 374 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.599 to talk to others on the cutting room floor? Oh, a really good 375 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:23.920 question, very like inside baseball. I have a question. I appreciate that, 376 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.279 no question about it. Yeah, of course, I mean, if 377 00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.720 you do a good job. With any given story, you're leaving a lot 378 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.240 of stuff on the cutting room floor. So with this particular one, I 379 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.000 wanted to find out find out what happened like, and I wanted to get 380 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.799 it from both sides. So I talked to some people in the rushing what 381 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.880 I would call the rushing camp, and I talked to some people you know, 382 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.640 inside the program, okay, and they all agreed that they would speak 383 00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.960 to me on condition of anonymity, which is fine in this particular case. 384 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.359 I don't think we should do every single story that way, but worked with 385 00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.960 this one, and then I kind of just decided, like, Okay, 386 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.920 what are the most interesting theories that are out there? Do they have any 387 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.799 validity to them? Are their rumors that kind of need to be shot down? 388 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.559 And so I kind of picked maybe the best five, you know, 389 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.960 of the group, and I just kind of went from there and injected my 390 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.480 own sort of judgments, opinions, et cetera, amid all of that kind 391 00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:33.160 of speculation that's so prevalent when something like this happened. So coming out of 392 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.359 that, you know, what will Did you think that the Russians were butt 393 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.079 heads? Did you think Arizona screwed it up, or a little bit of 394 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.599 both. I would definitely say that it was a combination of two. But 395 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.000 I don't know. I don't really want to like blame one side or the 396 00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:56.640 other. I just feel like communication broke down in a lot of ways between 397 00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:02.400 the two sides. I do think that at there was an nil component to 398 00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:06.559 this, you know, coming from other schools. I think that was that 399 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:10.200 was a big factor. And in a lot of these situations, I just 400 00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.160 think you're naive to think that it's not right, you know. I mean, 401 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.279 that's just that is the way of the world, the way that they've 402 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:19.680 set this thing up. Now, there are certain schools that have deep pockets 403 00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.079 or their donors have deep pockets, and they're going to be able to win 404 00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:30.400 some of these recruiting battles if that is what's important to a particular family. 405 00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.880 I'm not saying that that is the sole reason that this happened. I'm not 406 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.440 saying it's fifty percent of what happened. I'm saying that it's definitely a factor 407 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:44.039 to some degree. So lost in this, uh was the decommitment of Willheigh 408 00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:48.839 too right where you didn't write about that. But I'm sure you learn more 409 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.480 from all this. Yeah, I didn't. I mean, I don't know 410 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:57.960 as much about that particular case. I do know that, like the kids 411 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:06.000 been in Washington and he went up to went up for a visit at Washington. 412 00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:10.319 I can't imagine a better uh, you know, recruiting weekend for U 413 00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:14.000 dub than how that whole thing played out, with Dame Day being there. 414 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.000 Incredible crowd, like, unbelievably good game. I mean, what a scene. 415 00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.880 I feel like anyone would just sort of sign on the dotted line after 416 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.039 being a part of that. But you know, I don't know. I 417 00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:30.759 don't like people are maybe are upset or they feel like, oh, you 418 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.720 know, hey, maybe same old Arizona. They can't close, they can't 419 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:40.599 bring in the local guides. Maybe that's true to a tiny degree. But 420 00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.599 to me, this doesn't really change anything about the way they've gone about recruiting. 421 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.319 I just think it's a shame that it didn't work out, because it 422 00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.559 would have been really cool if it did. All right, so they've got 423 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.599 a week off. Obviously, the question of the week is going to be 424 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:03.480 quarterback. I mean, I don't know. I mean, he almost I 425 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:06.279 don't know if his hands are tight or well, they're not tired because he's 426 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:08.559 gonna do whatever he wants. If you were, if you were a betting 427 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:14.319 man, what you think Fafeta is starting the next game? I would I 428 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:21.200 would definitely place my bet on Noah Fafita. I think that Jed has told 429 00:29:21.200 --> 00:29:25.039 the team what's going on. I think he told the quarterbacks what's going on. 430 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:27.920 I just think he feels like he has no reason to tell us what's 431 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.599 going on right at this point anyway, for them, largely because you force 432 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:38.599 Oregon State, even if it's kind of transparent, you're still forcing Oregon State 433 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:45.039 to spend a certain amount of time preparing for the other quarterback, you know, 434 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.839 like the remote the possibility, even if it's remote, that he's going 435 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:53.960 to switch back to Dolaura. Who knows, maybe he'll even play the Laura 436 00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.039 like you'll play both guys. I don't think he will, because he's an 437 00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:02.079 NFL coach at heart, and and that's not what they do up there for 438 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:07.440 the most part. But I just feel like Defita has played his way into 439 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.680 the job, Like how could you mention him after he has done so well? 440 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:15.759 He's gotten better every single week in terms of the passing yards and completion 441 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:23.039 percentage, zero turnover. Where he plays this last game, he's just operating 442 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:27.559 like a point guard, distributing the ball to his playmakers and just letting the 443 00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:32.279 offense percolate. So we've already gone through seven weeks, right, Well, 444 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.960 how fast does that go? Right? Who would you say is the MVP 445 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:44.279 to this point? Offense both if you want, man, it's tough, 446 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.960 I would say, yeah, I would actually vote for on an offense because 447 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.400 so much playing time has been divided at certain positions. I vote for Jonah 448 00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:57.920 Sava, the offensive lineman. He has played almost every snap. He has 449 00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:03.880 played both right tack land right guard pretty seamlessly. I think he's allowed one 450 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.079 fact the entire season. He's just been a real He's been a rock for 451 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.880 that. I'm super consistent. Uh from the start of the season tip to 452 00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.279 this point. Uh, and defense that I just don't see how you can 453 00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.640 pick anyone other than Jacobanu. He's there, you know, leading tackler, 454 00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:25.079 most offensive stops, he's tied to the team lead and quarterback pressures. He 455 00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.759 just kind of you know, they don't have a lot of stars on that 456 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.960 side of the ball. He's close to the thing and he just sort of 457 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.200 feels like the players would be the most difficult to replace the lost him. 458 00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:38.799 Yeah. Yeah, I mean I I was when you start, when you 459 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:41.839 said Jonah, I was gonna throw out Jonah Coleman because I just love that 460 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.039 guy. But you're right. I mean he's not. You know, he's 461 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.160 better started a couple of games, but man, he's these last few weeks 462 00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.720 he's just been he's been money. Hey look, I'm I'm a bit as 463 00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:57.000 big a Jonah Coleman advocate as you'll find. I've been saying it's like the 464 00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.519 first time I saw him practice. I mean he's a stud. There's no 465 00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:07.359 two ways about it. I mean he's averaging over five yards after contact per 466 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:12.119 rushing attempt, which is I think third in the country. Crazy, crazy, 467 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:15.599 fat. He's just like he's like a it's like trying to tackle a 468 00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:19.319 bowling ball. Yeah, you know, he f low to the ground. 469 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:24.400 He's super strong, he's really tough, runs really hard, and and like 470 00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:29.000 I could see two you know, it's not like he's the one trick pony. 471 00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:30.920 He can make some moves in the open field as well. So very 472 00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:35.960 impressed with Jonah. They haven't skipped a beat without Michael Wilder. Guy there, 473 00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:37.720 So let me ask you a quick question. I just came up with 474 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.519 this one on Russia to any good, maybe the stupidest question of the day. 475 00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.480 So, so, Jenson is two and a half years of coaching here 476 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:49.359 as a head coach college wise. Has he become a has he become a 477 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.279 better coach? And we talked about this yesterday. Remember her first year he 478 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:55.319 said he can't call places, he should let somebody else call plays. No, 479 00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:00.119 he's calling plays and doing really well with them. Maybe it's better tell 480 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.480 But to me, I'd answer my gold question saying, yes he has, 481 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:08.359 But what do you think I think definitely you learned from experience. He was 482 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:13.680 a first time head coach. He coached what two games in UCLA. But 483 00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:15.920 if that's different from actually being in charge of a program, right, And 484 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:20.680 the thing about when you assist a college coach, it's not just what happens 485 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.720 on Saturdays, you know, so much of it is what happened the rest 486 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:29.319 of the week and the rest of the year. Like recruiting is at leaf 487 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.839 tap and he and his staff have done a really good job in that regard. 488 00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:38.559 He's put together this NFL style front office. He's made really good defensive 489 00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:43.160 coordinator hires. You know, there was a lot of skepticism. I think 490 00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:47.200 about Johnny Anton going into last year and even maybe throughout last year, and 491 00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:52.400 he's quieted a lot of the doubters with how well the defense has played. 492 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.400 So I think there's no question about it. Jed would probably say the same 493 00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:00.920 himself. And it's maybe it's not like this calling wait, because he's done 494 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.759 that plenty of times. It's the rest of it. You know, it's 495 00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:09.360 managing your time, managing people, managing the whole program. And I think 496 00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:13.239 there's I think it's a very good point that you make, and I'm a 497 00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:16.400 good theory and I think it's true.

I'm yeah, 508 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:02.760 I don't even think about that, right, I don't. But but 509 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.079 you know, he follows them more, and he he's got the stats, 510 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:10.159 he knows the numbers. And when he said though to Summon, like, 511 00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:14.239 hey, yeah, kind of makes sense, right, yeah, because their 512 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.639 offensive line has been has been money.

I'm Steve, He's Jay. 582 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:20.719 Got our guy Kevin with us today. We're hello. We got about twelve 583 00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.880 minutes. You guys can give us a call if you'd like. Yep, 584 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:27.159 fight two four one six four forty will take your call and Jay, what 585 00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:30.639 do you got? Okay? So this came up on uh, you know, 586 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:34.440 I subscribed to the athletic and they had a serve put out a survey. 587 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.599 It was yesterday or the day before. I think it was yesterday, 588 00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:40.239 Yesterday, Tuesday, Tuesday. Yes, it was yesterday because I wouldn't have 589 00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:44.280 done this during the games. So it was a it was a how do 590 00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:47.039 you watch college football? Survey? They had some interesting question We're only a 591 00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:52.039 handful of questions, so I since I responded to it in nice other results, 592 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:54.079 they thought we could talk about it because it was pretty interesting and you 593 00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:58.480 know, the interesting questions that they asked and the responses that they got. 594 00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:04.800 So the first question is what network do you prefer for national game broadcasts. 595 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:07.360 You know, to me, that was a no brainer. ESPN and ABC 596 00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:15.920 they got of the of the Boat, the CBS at twenty, Fox at 597 00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:20.199 eighteen, and then NBC just a sliver because all they've got is Notre Dame. 598 00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.920 And then they do They've added a Big ten game this week. But 599 00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:27.199 you know, that's kind of like, okay, no brainer. But then 600 00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:32.719 some of the other interesting questions, what is your favorite conference network for games? 601 00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.039 Big ten edged out the SEC, they were both way ahead of the 602 00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:43.320 ACC. Then after that came to back twelve at seven point five typicult, 603 00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:50.559 But and then your favorite broadcast announcer team, So the two guys in the 604 00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:55.760 booths Chris Fowler, Kirk khurb Street my favorite. I mean, I like 605 00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.880 sense guys Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt. That was a tough one because I 606 00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:04.960 like Gus Johnson a lot. I'm not as big. I like Joel Klatt 607 00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.559 a lot more than I like Kirk kirk Street. That's so I voted Follower 608 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.760 and herbs Street as well. But then you got Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson 609 00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:15.679 on CBS, Sean McDonough and Greg McElroy in ESPN, and then a bunch 610 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:21.000 of guys I've never even heard of. After that, I've heard of something. 611 00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:23.599 He's got Tim Brando, no Tested Tour, Noah Eagle, some of 612 00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:28.039 those guys are in there. But Herve Street and followed got thirty eight point 613 00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:34.960 three. That came some some interesting stuff. Pat McAfee, we've talked about 614 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.199 here and mentioned. You know, you and I are not the demographic form. 615 00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:42.039 But I do like the show. You like it. You see a 616 00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:44.920 show. I don't see a show like when I had a chance, I 617 00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:49.960 do it. Can I see this and not entirely for this reason, like 618 00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:52.800 a car crush, you can't take your right because you don't know what's gonna 619 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.000 happen. If I just watched maybe six or seven shows, but you're watching 620 00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.960 it to see what can he cost because they allow him to cost and they 621 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:06.920 but yeah, but if they noticed to cuss on this show, we'd be 622 00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:13.239 fantastic. Oh yeah, we'd be like, you'd have to we're money exactly 623 00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:15.760 anyway. So this is about his role on Game Okay, Okay, see 624 00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:19.360 that I haven't. This has been a big controversy for sure. I think 625 00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.400 he's ruining Game Day. Okay, I really Okay, how do you feel 626 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:28.639 about Pat mcafeel on Game Day. Like it thirty percent, don't like it 627 00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:32.840 forty eight point nine percent, no opinion twenty one percent is it wasn't not 628 00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.639 a selection? For give him a couple of years, or give him some 629 00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:37.960 give him a season or two. Just how do you think about him right 630 00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:39.679 now? I mean he's been on it, on it right. Yeah. 631 00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:43.480 The thing is, once you don't like him, it's hard to not like 632 00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:46.039 him. Yeah, he's kind of hard to avoid once you once you see 633 00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:50.639 it, you can't. Yeah. Some reader comments I don't watch Game Day 634 00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:53.599 anymore solely because of Pat McAfee. I think is that he's an embarrassment to 635 00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:59.039 ESPAN and the major whatever cibility. Have you seen him on it? Have 636 00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:02.079 you seen the game Day? So what's the big deal is he? What's 637 00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:06.559 he's bringing to the show? He's brought to the way I describe it is 638 00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:14.280 he's brought a World Wrestling you know, a WWE persona to a show that 639 00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:21.079 a doesn't need. That. He's loud, obnoxious, he grabs the attention, 640 00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:25.000 he gets in people's way, He talks too much, and he says 641 00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:30.960 ridiculous things. There you go, Jay, I got a call from I 642 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:35.800 gotta call about you yesterday. Hi, you're on the air and I on 643 00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:39.559 the ball. Hey Jay, this is done. Hey DoD. You know, 644 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:49.280 my opinion on McAfee is he's just twenty twenty threes version of dick Y 645 00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:53.280 Town. Yeah, in a way, you kind of started getting good and 646 00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:58.960 we were getting more on ESPN. It was fun and it was all that 647 00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:00.960 and all, you know, and then it just grew. It was just 648 00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:07.119 tiring. If how became a clown in no time. He was just you 649 00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:10.239 couldn't you couldn't even hear him. I don't I don't dislike McAfee. I 650 00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:15.159 think he's just he's just trying to be a little bit edgier than what what 651 00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:22.920 everybody's used to. And and and that forty eight percent on that survey is 652 00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:27.320 forty eight percent of the people that pay to read the Athletic. I don't 653 00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:31.880 pay to read the athletics, so I'm not in That's an interesting point, 654 00:45:31.920 --> 00:45:36.559 don interesting point. But again, as we've said, you got to see 655 00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:42.760 that it's it's not the demographic. Were the demographic that's reading the Athletic that 656 00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:49.000 likes McAfee exactly correct. And and he's and he's grab he's grabbing ratings. 657 00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:53.920 Yeah, they wouldn't have given him a show, well, especially a show 658 00:45:53.960 --> 00:46:00.559 right after first. Yeah. That On another subject, yes, on another 659 00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:05.079 subject. I wanted to add something. I want to get this out. 660 00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:09.119 It's not that or that Arizona is not getting the local kids right now. 661 00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:14.519 It's that they're in there fighting to get them, and so we're they're going 662 00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:17.920 to get them. The better the program becomes, the better the program is 663 00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:22.360 going to look for these guys to stay. How old are you so the 664 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:27.039 good thing is I'm fifty eight. Good luck with that. No, no, 665 00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:29.559 no, we were, we were. We were a good pro hold 666 00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:34.000 on real quick. We had the CEO of Siaga about three or four pretty 667 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:36.679 good players, right, yeah. The other schools were after. Yeah. 668 00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.079 Did we hear Arizona in on them? I don't remember them saying that. 669 00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:43.920 No, no, no, no overall Oh yeah I don't know. Yeah, 670 00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:46.079 yeah, because we heard the Oregon and Washington were there, right right 671 00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:50.239 right, Yeah, No, it's tough. Well, the two guys, 672 00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:54.840 the two guys that are on the Midtown team that had signed with Arizona were 673 00:46:55.559 --> 00:47:00.840 completely neglected. A staff a goal, yeah, no question, I mean, 674 00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:02.800 I know, I know there's some I know there's some other guys that 675 00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:08.119 are in town that Arizona should be in on that they would probably get. 676 00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:14.800 But you know, it just depends. I just think that the fact that 677 00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.480 they were in on trying to get those guys, I think that that that 678 00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:22.480 speaks volumes for the program itself. Right, No, I don't disagree with 679 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:24.079 that. Done all right, don thanks a bunch man, appreciate it. 680 00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:29.280 Yep, that's all right. So Jay, we talk about this all the 681 00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:34.199 time. If you have the Ransoms and the Bijons and you know Texas or 682 00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.079 Ohiosti coming for you, what are you going to do? You know? 683 00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:42.599 But also you know, I feel like the relationships here were so broken. 684 00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:45.239 Yeah, I'm gonna take them a while. Sure, no question for guys 685 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:49.039 to say, Okay, I'm staying No. This was a blow to that 686 00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:51.559 because they thought they got it then they left. Sure, no, no. 687 00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:53.679 And then on the other side you have the guys like Jake's, the 688 00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:59.800 Tennis's who kind of are overlooked and what do they want to play here here? 689 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:00.920 Because they were overlooked by other people, they got to get some of 690 00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:05.519 those guys. Anyways, Okay, getting back to the whole the whole thing, 691 00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.280 So there was that comment about McAfee. Then another one said, I 692 00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.639 think Pat McAfee has a great energy to game day, and I don't understand 693 00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:14.400 the hate for him. And this is my favorite one. Oh I'm not 694 00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:19.079 a big McAfee fan. It far out weighs watching anything involving Urban Meyer. 695 00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:22.159 Who's that? And that's why I can't change it. I tried. I 696 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:28.840 tried to watch the Fox Show, and Urban Meyer makes my skin because because 697 00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:31.119 because of his show or because of who he is. I think because of 698 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:36.360 who, because he's arrogant, ye, you know, and then the whole 699 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:38.599 you know, just the way. I just never liked Urban Maye. So 700 00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:42.280 it's more, you have a bias, have a bias against Urban and I 701 00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:44.840 don't want to listen to anything. Sure, okay, let's give you the 702 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:50.480 go back to the ESPN. We have it's a it's it's a Reese Davis. 703 00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:54.159 Uh no one. Do you have what's his name again, Patt McAfee. 704 00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:59.559 But then you have courso Yeah, so that's kind of making it uncomfortable. 705 00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:02.000 Opinion is the issue. I think it's misplaced energy. Yeah, Pat 706 00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:07.480 McAfee brings a very like young, exuberant noise. He brings noise, he 707 00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:10.360 brings nice and that's what they're at, no question. But then you have 708 00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:14.840 the other side, and that's my Yeah, that's what I feel. It's 709 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.079 a bad cast to put him in, and a bad cast to match everybody 710 00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.000 with. I mean, it does doesn't. If you're watching it that hour 711 00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:23.639 of the morning and you're getting Pat McAfee screaming, and then you're getting Kirk 712 00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:28.519 curve Street trying to just like talk regularly, it doesn't match. It gives 713 00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:30.280 the view like a very it's hard to listen to feeling watching it. I 714 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.639 disagree with you. Yeah, yeah, But then then you talk about Fox. 715 00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:37.719 It's my understanding that's a pretty good show. But then but then you 716 00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:44.679 have uh, what's his name? Uh? You know who who likes him? 717 00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:47.440 I don't know anybody who likes him? Urban Meyer Like, well there 718 00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:52.280 exactly. Okay, So here's what do you watch pre game shows more or 719 00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.800 less than you used to? Sixty three percent say less, But it points 720 00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:00.360 out that ratings are still really strong a pregame show, So it doesn't it 721 00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:05.159 doesn't seem to match up with you know, the data. Then finally it 722 00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:09.960 says, do you believe TV networks are biased? Towards certain conferences with question 723 00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:15.480 eighty two yes, yes, And then do you believe TV networks play an 724 00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:21.119 active role in driving conference realignment? Five with no question Yeah. With the 725 00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:24.039 other five percent on that one, that's my it's a plus or minus five 726 00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:28.480 percent. So you saw this weekend. I don't know the details on this, 727 00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:31.880 but Colorado is going to be on a b C again over Washington and 728 00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:37.119 all these school See, that's that's the factors over Yeah, that's done, 729 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:39.280 you know after what they did the other day. Absolutely, but people are 730 00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:44.960 I guess not people. It's the station yea or the company nets it's in 731 00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:50.800 love with them, which makes zero sense that it bothers me. But like 732 00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:52.880 Arizona, Arizona's got a seven thirty game, gets working state, that's gonna 733 00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:55.880 be a great on TV, is on TV, it's on ESPN. Okay, 734 00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:59.400 but at the seven thirty at night you got you got U c l 735 00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:02.159 A and Colorado are playing at four thirty, Like what the hell? No, 736 00:51:02.360 --> 00:51:05.920 that's gonna be that's a terrible game. U c LA is a bad 737 00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:08.559 team and Colorado's has become a very bad team. I mean, you can't 738 00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:13.760 you can't lose the way they did the Stanford and and still get it for 739 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:16.280 every ward every ward. All right, we're gonna take our break, we're 740 00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:19.519 gonna come back. He'll be breaking news at the top of the hour. 741 00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:22.239 And we've got Ted Robinson from Pack Club Networks coming on at about four to 742 00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:28.280 twenty, so stick around. We gotta cat. I'm gonna have a good 743 00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:31.000 samd holing in that and the boughts Inland of so say, I'm gonna get 744 00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:34.280 loose. He's on fire.
