Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez. They
have their eye on the ball on Tucson

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:12.160
Sports Stage Jack Fox Sports fourteen fifty, streaming live on the iHeart Radio.

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:15.880
Wapp Hey, welcome back to Jining
the Ball here Fox Sports fourteen fifty.

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.399
I'm Steve Hej. Now we have
Ryan with breaking news. This is I

5
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.160
on the Ball, Breaking news on
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Start with University

6
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.520
of Arizona MLB draft has concluded.
It's three days and today was rounds eleven

7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:41.000
through twenty kind another University of Arizona
pitcher selected today. Right hander Cam Walty

8
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.640
was drafted by the Cleveland Guardians in
the twentieth round, the number five hundred

9
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.560
and ninety fifth pick, and he
joins Jackson Kent, who was drafted in

10
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.399
the fourth round by the Nationals,
and Clark Candiatti, also in the fourth

11
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.399
round by the San Diego Padres.
So I think there's a good and stuff.

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.640
He'll probably come to school, given
that he's so late into the rounds,

13
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.719
So you think, yeah, I
mean, you know, the lad

14
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.599
they get it. It just depends
on how bad they you know, they

15
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:15.719
want to go. But the two
recruits got two recruits got picked uh,

16
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.200
and both pitchers. So everybody that
got drafted that had a connection to Arizona

17
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.519
was a pitcher, which that can't
be good. Uh. I think they

18
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.040
knew they were gonna lose the you
know, three of the current staff,

19
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.400
but you know, they were hoping
to hang on to their their their pitching

20
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.079
recruits. So we'll see if they
in fact do that. Yeah, Lefty

21
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.359
Mason Russell was one of the signs. So and then and I can't remember

22
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:48.519
who the other one was. No, that's not it, that's somebody else.

23
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.599
But anyway, that's you know,
yeah, so they you know,

24
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.719
they guy, they're gonna have to
deal with that. But we'll see.

25
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.719
Uh. You know, look,
I'm sure they've got plans, you know,

26
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.959
they've got they've got to figure out. So let's see what happens.

27
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:06.599
Right. A little bit of news
from South Point to bea Henderson has committed

28
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.960
to Yukon. Committed or did she
commit? Her she got offered. I

29
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.080
think she committed. I guess if
may I guess if Yukon is gonna offer,

30
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.919
you're gonna probably commit to that,
make sure, right? Yeah,

31
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.800
but uh no, you know,
we we had her on the shows.

32
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:29.240
She sounded like very together person and
probably pretty you know, when you can

33
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:31.400
when Yukon comes calling. Yukon comes
calling, you know, and there's not

34
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.400
a whole lot that idea is going
to be able to do about that when

35
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.080
when Yukon calls, it's like,
Okay, do you want to go play

36
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.479
for the Chiefs or do you want
to go play for the Crappy Raiders or

37
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:51.639
somebody like that. Oh, Antonio, this is Antonio Pierce. Great to

38
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:59.159
have you on the show. What
happened today? Is you so you never

39
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.840
know what you're gonna call it?
Just a correction on my end. This

40
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:07.360
was from Twitter that she was offered
a scholarship. That's totally different. Yeah,

41
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:15.280
yeah, all right, Switch number
two MLB. Some news from the

42
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.039
commissioner the possibility the upcoming spring training
in twenty twenty five that they might be

43
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:29.400
testing the robot umpires. Really wow
with the possibility of it being yeah in

44
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.879
twenty six Okay, what do you
think, Dave you ready for that?

45
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.800
Yeah? I don't know. We
talked about this, I don't know where,

46
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.599
maybe somewhere out somewhere where I was. So they have the box,

47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.719
right, the box and you take
it and the box we don't know how

48
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.919
far if you're standing if you're standing
here and the box is over here,

49
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.319
yeah, there's still ball movement from
here. You need yeah, you need

50
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.759
to. I mean it's gonna,
you know, all of a sudden.

51
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.240
This is in the hands of a
technician somewhere right right at the box in

52
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.879
the right spot, right the box
in the right spot, and there's some

53
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.000
depth between the and you. So
so the ball can move after the box,

54
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.879
right, if that makes any sense. But if the curve drops after

55
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.080
the box, you know, yeah, no, I hear so. I

56
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.879
don't know how this all works,
but this is that wasn't a striker of

57
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.720
the guys? Good luck with that. The game has changed so much since

58
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.959
you were a kid, since I
was a kid ten years ago. Speed

59
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.639
is all this, all these things, and I don't know if it's better.

60
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.399
I don't know if it's better.
I don't know. In some respects

61
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:34.920
it is and it is. I'm
look, I want strikes to be called

62
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:39.680
as strikes. Sure, and I'm
I'll yell at like anybody else when I

63
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.839
see a ball that you know,
misses the box by you know, four

64
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.399
inches, and they call her a
strike, and I'm like pissed. But

65
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.319
you know, I also accept that
that's a part of the game. And

66
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:55.160
so this idea that we have to
call every every pitch has got to be

67
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.480
called perfectly. Now, there are
some umpires who just have a really bad

68
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.879
day. You know, they'll miss
you know, ten percent of the pitches.

69
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.800
That's too many. But you know, again, in the end,

70
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.800
it's it's part of the game to
mate that going on. It's a human

71
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.279
element, and of course they're trying
to be as perfect as it can be.

72
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:17.279
Imagine all the games that we watched
throughout the years and said, if

73
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:21.560
we went back and had a right
replay right, how many games would be

74
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.600
changed exactly? So, you know, I don't know. I'm I'm not

75
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:31.199
sure. I like the I like
that idea, I'm really not I that

76
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.160
they've been they've been doing it.
I think this season, I think last

77
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.920
year might have been the first year
as well. But a challenge system,

78
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.759
I think that might be a little
bit better for balls and strikes. Yeahh

79
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.759
that would be too much. I've
seen a couple of videos where you know,

80
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.680
the better we'll just like give a
signal to the umpire and the empire

81
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.319
will like look back to somebody like, hey, we want to challenge,

82
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.480
Well, if it could be that
fast, I guess it's okay, but

83
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.120
I don't know. Again, I'm
not that fond of it that at all.

84
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.560
Well, they're trying to speed up
the game. That would not help

85
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.279
speed up the game. But there's
it's always a contradiction of terms. You

86
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.319
know, what's gonna speed up,
what's gonna slow it down. But I

87
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.560
think you're your an agreement. The
speeding up of the game is a better

88
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.360
for the game. Yeah. I
saw a stat today. He said,

89
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.439
uh, you know, before these
new the new rules that they put in

90
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.759
place, you know, average length
of the game was over three hours.

91
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.879
Now it's like two hours and thirty
six minutes, which is like, yeah,

92
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.920
which is for old guys like me
who need to go to the bathroom

93
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.839
a lot during a baseball game.
That's great. But again we've had that

94
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.879
conversation where sometimes you go to a
game, you put all this time effort

95
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.759
to go to a game, and
the game last two hours and fifteen minutes.

96
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.600
You're like, I wasn't here long, and sure, sure, no,

97
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.879
it's not a good concert. You
want to go to the country that's

98
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.720
quick in or do you want to
go to a country that last a little

99
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.160
while. I don't want to go
to Bruce Springsteen concert because he plays like

100
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.720
three and a half hours. But
but you know that. But yeah,

101
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.040
you know that going in, You
know that going in and you're saying,

102
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.680
okay, well and you're gonna have
well, you grumpy old man. What

103
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:08.399
a gay? Switching over to the
NBA some news regarding the Lakers. They

104
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:14.240
have added Lindsay Harding to JJ Reddick's
staff. She's going to be the assistant

105
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.160
with the Lakers. Who is she? So? She's the D League coach

106
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:24.600
of the Year for the Stockton Kings. Okay. I guess her and Reddick

107
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.439
have a history, okay, because
she was years player development coached with the

108
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.240
seventy six ers and an All American
at Duke, So she probably was there

109
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.879
when he was there playing for I
think he was with the seventy six ers.

110
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:40.920
We did never even talk about this
one. JB was on the show

111
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.759
last week. I was a bit
surprised that he's not coaching in the league.

112
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.439
Yeah, because you know, we
had him on for the camps right

113
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.879
and he talked, you know,
he was very diplomatic. You know,

114
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.160
whatever God has has lined up for
him and he's been that guy. But

115
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:58.120
but he he was out and about
doing a lot of different things, very

116
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.199
well spoken, and people loved him. Uh this might be just his breakaway

117
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:03.360
for a while. Yeah, maybe
he did, and maybe he needs that,

118
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.279
you know. Although we did see
Luke Walton. Uh, yeah,

119
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.720
we haven't talked about that. We
got it, you know. Yeah,

120
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.879
I'm gonna try to get him on. I'm gonna try to get him on.

121
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.680
I spoke to him brief or communicated
with him briefly when his dad passed.

122
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.000
With We were back and forth on
this because we know, I thought

123
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.480
the world of his dad, right, and he was he wrote the pre

124
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.519
and he wrote the the forward for
my book, right, and he was.

125
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.199
I loved Luke Walton. Yeah,
so I'll try to get him on

126
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.200
before basketball starts. Let's do that
because I'd love to talk to him.

127
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:33.960
Mind. Yeah, let me tell
you something. One of the super good

128
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.200
guys, and I've said this before, what Bill and his his mom Susie

129
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.120
did with these kids. Uh,
they're they're the most level headed dudes out

130
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.240
there. And you never think that
that would be the case because of their

131
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.279
nast name and just just dudes,
you know, and if you saw that

132
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.240
you saw the thirty for thirty with
Bill? Right? You what, you're

133
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.600
the lone. You're the only dude
that has that one in the monkey story?

134
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.279
What are you doing with your time? You can? You would love

135
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.519
the Bill Walton stuff. It's a
fantastic three or four episode thing. It's

136
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.879
very very good. Okay, I
got anothering. I got like eight homework

137
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.639
assignments from them. You do you
too well in the summertime when but now

138
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.639
if you don't have time now,
you ain't gonna have time when the guys

139
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.919
start coming to practice. Yeah,
I know, I'm busy. S you're

140
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.000
busy looking at nineteen seventy three.
No, I don't have to look at

141
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.799
that stuff. It's just all in
my brain. I got there. That's

142
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.080
a that's scary, fell up in
the brain. Please put it somewhere else.

143
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.320
Okay. A little bit of a
little bit of sad news out of

144
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.960
the NBA. Former NBA player Joe
Bryant, father of Kobe Bryant, he

145
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.879
passed away, Yeah this morning.
Yeah, jelly Bean, jelly Bean,

146
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:56.720
And I guess they were strange,
right, because I think they try to

147
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.559
He tried to sell some of his
memory rebilia and they were kind of you

148
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.799
know, father son stuff. Ye, father son stuff, and uh,

149
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.799
but you know, the guy could
play, and obviously he had grew grew

150
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.639
his son who could have played.
Miss some memorabilia back in the day.

151
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.679
Yeah, Kobe's yeah, yeah,
I think it's it's well maybe six seven,

152
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:24.320
eight years ago. We do know
for for whatever reason, and that's

153
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.159
yeah, that's sad when they you
know, when you have that dynamic situation,

154
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.960
right, yeah, yeah, but
it's it's not my dynamic or your

155
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.039
dynamic. It's hard to talk about
other people's dynamics. Right, Yeah,

156
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.480
we don't know, you're right.
Last thing is just tonight is the All

157
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.840
Star Game. Yep, there watch
it? Yep you are, I watch

158
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.480
it. I watch some of it. I enjoyed. I enjoyed being able

159
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.559
to take a little little break from
the seriousness of the season. Yeah,

160
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.440
watch you guys. So friend I
didn't, I'm not betting on it.

161
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.840
But a friend of mine is in
Reno. He's from Santa Fan. He's

162
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.960
out doing some convention stuff. So
if you had a two team or two

163
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.679
team party, what would your partly
be tonight? Fortunately, two leg parlay,

164
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:15.919
two league part I'd probably pick a
couple of guys. Maybe maybe one

165
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.360
guy to get a hit and another
guy to hit a homer, but I

166
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.360
don't know who that would be.
Oh, okay, so this is my

167
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.159
Maybe I just bet on Dodgers just
to have fun with that, just to

168
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.960
do that. So I told them
one thing or two things. Bet American

169
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.320
League minus one and a half for
no other reason, but they're strong hitters,

170
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.320
and uh minus one and a half
and then over seven and a half

171
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.440
runs. Oh so those two wow, Okay. I didn't do it,

172
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.399
but I thought that was the American
League minus one and a half and a

173
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.159
half and over seven and a half. That's what That's what it was.

174
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.240
You weren't buying points or nothing.
I'm not an American League guy, that's

175
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:56.080
and that's yeah. Right, So
you wouldn't do it because you take take

176
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:00.000
I take the I take the points. Yeah, yeah, I bet.

177
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:03.159
I don't. I don't know,
one way or another. What think about

178
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:09.559
I think if I were to bet
it, I would bet I'd take I

179
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.759
bet on the National League. I
don't know if I take the over though.

180
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.639
The pitching is so so damn good. These are all the best pictures

181
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.440
in the leagues, both leagues,
right, It's you know, I would.

182
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.320
I think I would take the under. I think when I said that,

183
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.960
I thought so too. What is
the seven and a half half?

184
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.480
So it's it's five to four,
five to three. These guys are going

185
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.840
to strike out all day, well
or not or not, so we'll see.

186
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.639
I'm glad they you know, they
changed it back to the way it

187
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.919
is now where it doesn't really have
an impact on the right and it never

188
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.440
should have. Right. That was
stupid. So out there, have fun,

189
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.639
just play, play and okay,
and I'm gonna be get off my

190
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.639
lawn. Guy. I really wish
they would go back to the teams wearing

191
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.720
their uniforms. Oh yeah, you
know, wearing the universe because they come

192
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.399
up with uniforms and they sell them, you know, sell the jerseys and

193
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.279
stuff like that. They need to
come back, go back to the teams

194
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:13.919
wearing the uniforms. That's my take. I agree, because that was always

195
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.720
fun, you know, and then
you'd see you'd see that you see guys

196
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:24.159
wear team guys, Guys that didn't
wear white shoes during the season did wear

197
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.080
white shoes, or like Cincinnati Reds
players would wear red shoes, you know,

198
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.399
when they were when Cincinnati was very
strict and conservative with their uniforms,

199
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.320
you know, low low stirrups,
black shoes and all. And then they'd

200
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.559
come out of the All Star Game
and they have red shoes on and the

201
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.639
stirrups would be pulled high and stuff
like that. I thought all that stuff

202
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.759
was cool. So I think I
think most people would agree with you that

203
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.360
they need to bring bring the uniforms
back, right, because that was one

204
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.039
thing that was cool about last night
is that the players in the Home Runner,

205
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:01.600
in the Home Runner, we're all
wearing their uniforms. Yeah, so

206
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.480
it Oh, good timing, good
stuff. Thanks you, yeah, thank

207
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.000

right in a little bit any moment
now. Talking about some soccer success so

265
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:11.400
far. Yeah, yeah, they
had you know, I had a good

266
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:17.160
season. They finished second in their
in their league, and so they're they're

267
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.279
in the thirty two team bracket for
the playoffs. That's a big bracket for

268
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:25.480
like a soccer league, right usually
or you know tournaments soccer terms are done

269
00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.839
like a pool play and then a
bracket and that kind of stuff. But

it goes thirty two, So it
goes to sixteen eight four too four.

273
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:47.079
I think you gotta win five games, five matches because you gotta win thirty

274
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:53.000
six eighteen thirty two, thirty two. So you got to win a game

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.480
to get to sixteen, a game
to get to eight, a game to

276
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.000
get to four, a game to
get to two, and then you gotta

277
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.799
win the championships. Got to win
five. Gotta get on get on a

279
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.319

by thirty? Oh you know,

300
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.480
somebody called me. He might call
me from the game. One of our

301
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.839
regular callers, Rick Rick, is
at the game. He said, should

302
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:45.119
I call you guys from the shows? Yeah? Call it the four o'clock

303
00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:51.599
hours. So he's he's in Texas. He's in Arlington. Nice. Yeah,

304
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.839
I lived there before I got here. It's it's not fun. It's

305
00:20:55.880 --> 00:21:00.480
not fun, but here is Neither
was Tucsons. Yeah, who is this?

306
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:04.640
Joe Jonathan? What are you slacking? You gotta run some laps for

307
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.839
I'm sorry somebody called in on me. It was like in the district.

308
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.160
I apologies, okay, let me
tell you something surprising that are you sitting

309
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.279
down? I am just in case
I don't want you to follow the floor.

310
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.880
You may have found a new soccer
fan. He's my partner here.

311
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.759
He had never sat through a game, and now he has. John I

312
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.039
which games, you said, Well, I caught the tail end of the

313
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:36.559
of the euro League champion or the
euro Tournament Championship. I put it on

314
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.640
after the Dodger game was over,
so I did watch baseball, but the

315
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:42.359
game ended and I went straight to
That's archipecture. And then I sat there

316
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.400
and waited for the COPA game to
come on, sat through the long delay

317
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.599
and get in it going, and
then watched it. So in home,

318
00:21:56.839 --> 00:22:00.880
I watched the whole thing and I
didn't get up, and I sat through

319
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.880
it and I was it was exciting. It was a one nothing game,

320
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.640
and you know, I've been one
of those guys when nothing ever happened.

321
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:08.759
So I don't watch the games.
But it was a great game. It

322
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.359
was a great match, and I
loved watching it. And you know,

323
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:17.519
the drama with Messi and all that
stuff. It was all cool. Great

324
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:21.400
to see that. I already see
him wearring to check this prick shirt.

325
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.839
Yeah, well I'm gonna get you
guys both Jersey. I'm that for both

326
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.759
that kind happen. That's not a
question. Super. You must be pretty

327
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:34.400
proud. Yeah, we're thrilled,
I mean really excited to go to the

328
00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:38.880
last games, the last eight unbeaten
to clinch. Uh. We have the

329
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:45.559
toughest you know situation with only two
Arizona teams and then eighteen conference with lots

330
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.359
of road trips to California that are
difficult and nobody giving us any help,

331
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.559
and just it's really the achievement by
the players of course most of all.

332
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:59.279
And I've previously coached Canada and the
entire staff, you know, Cronolfson otherwise.

333
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.279
So John, when when you're you
know, you're as as you know,

334
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:04.880
the owner and president of the league
and so you're you know, you're

335
00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.079
looking for you know, long term
success. You know, you want this

336
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.480
organization to to have a lot of
success, and you do a lot of

337
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.039
things, but when you have something
like this happen, you know, how

338
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.960
do you build on this? Because
that's you know, we're going to talk

339
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.680
about the match with with your coach
tomorrow, but to you know today,

340
00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:26.000
finding out you know your vision for
for what you're doing and and and all

341
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.039
the things that have to come together
for you have a season like this and

342
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.079
then how you go from here.
Yeah, I think it's it's making sure

343
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:36.039
you acknowledge the people that have helped
you get there, not just on the

344
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.480
sporting side, but on the Uh. You know, obviously the stadium district

345
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:44.119
has been tremendous with us having one
of the best fields in the practice fields

346
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.720
in the entire league. Uh,
they're support for us being flexible as you

347
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.759
have some challenges as you do during
the season. There are business support.

348
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.920
I mean, you can't say enough
about all of our sponsors, but when

349
00:23:55.960 --> 00:24:00.519
somebody like you know, HG three, who is our usually our our game

350
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:04.559
warm up, Jersey sponsor de Times
to sponsor the Western Conference playoffs for us,

351
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:10.039
and you know, Public Vieta's stepping
up and Physioshop and Banner being available

352
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.000
to do the games with excitement.
I mean, there's just so many great

353
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:17.119
partners we have that activate that are
part of our team. And then obviously

354
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:18.880
you know you're going to make sure
you're doing so. It gives us a

355
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.279
chance again to work on what we
do, to work on our craft,

356
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.680
the game curation, the timing of
things, to be the best we can

357
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.599
be. So we're always going to
be attractive place to spend your time.

358
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.119
Right. So, if I want
Jay to watch games, I've got to

359
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:34.440
have a great team. I've got
to have a great game experience. I've

360
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:37.400
got to have, you know,
some two three dollars beers. I've got

361
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.200
to have food that's enjoyable, and
i've got to have a fan base that's

362
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:45.039
excited about the players and the players
I've treated the fans wonderfully. They stay

363
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.200
late, they sign autographs, they
take the time to speak to the media,

364
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.319
and we're grateful for you guys as
well and all of our media partners.

365
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.200
So really, just a terrific year. It's funny we talk about this

366
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.079
all the time at the University of
Arizona and other sports, and you know

367
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.640
this, You've been in it,
Jonathan. Nothing brings the fans more excitement

368
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.519
and to the seats than winning.
And I'm sure that helped you guys a

369
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:14.480
lot. Yeah, I mean,
look, it's I would never I would

370
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.079
just say that you the tooth on
the challenge is especially in the basketball side,

371
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.559
the standards are so unbelievably high that
you know, it's not even enough

372
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.920
to win now, it's you know, are you winning the conference? Are

373
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.759
you winning? It's all NCAA based, So I mean again, the fans

374
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.039
are here, super competitive. There's
a lot of people who went to school

375
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.319
here on the UVA side. It's
the connection with that. So with us

376
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:40.279
now that we have more players that
have played for US it's ten years now,

377
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.880
we have youth players that are now
parents of little kids in the club

378
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.039
and they take their little kids to
the games, like Gagarin. You know,

379
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:51.039
it's it's one of these things where
people have to understand that it takes

380
00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:53.799
a while to grow that. I
had a tradition of going to the game

381
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.480
here and to keep those fans and
by doing good things. And we've had

382
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:02.240
some challenges, you know with COVID
and you know with being pro and not

383
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:04.559
being pro, So to be consistent
is the hardest thing to do. So

384
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:08.079
we've agatten this from playoffs. This
is our first time since twenty one,

385
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.559
but in the lead to era,
we've been in the playoffs eight of ten

386
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.119
years. So I'm really proud of
the team. But we're a winning tradition

387
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:19.920
and we need to keep that going. Yeah. So the support that you

388
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.720
guys have had this year, I
mean you feel like it's been you know,

389
00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:26.640
a step forward for you guys.
And how's that. You know,

390
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.160
what's that been like for you this
year? Yeah, it's been great.

391
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.039
I mean the fan base has been
really solid. I mean even sometimes when

392
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.960
there was challenging situations, you know, in terms of whether as it always

393
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.519
is this time, you know,
people have come late. Last game,

394
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:44.599
we had a really good fan presence
considering the degree of the storm we had

395
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.079
on Sunday. But again, we're
we're able to do some great things in

396
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:51.119
the stadium district. We know we're
gonna get the games off. We know

397
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.440
people, we do a better job
of communicating, and the people are patient

398
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.440
because again, you know, after
everything, you've become a little bit later.

399
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.640
That temperature is perfect, you know, and uh, it's really exciting

400
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.400
to see our team play and compete. But uh, there's a mass.

401
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.039
Friday is massive seven thirty. We've
got to be on the ball. We've

402
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.359
got to be sharp. If I
can use the on the ball logo there,

403
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.400
and then uh, we just really
need to understand that this is a

404
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.640
really critical opportunity for us to be
successful and be the team playing on Sunday

405
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.759
and be the team that's uh,
you know, advancing to the conference final

406
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:27.319
four, to the National Final four
in the conference final on the uh on

407
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:32.559
the following weekend. I'm sure and
you when you started the season decided to

408
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:34.160
do what you do with the team. UH, you had some plans,

409
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.160
right, you had to see you
probably had a vision outside of not winning

410
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.519
it a right way, but I'm
sure this is probably pretty good in terms

411
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.680
of what you had hoped. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, obviously,

412
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.759
winning winning the conference reguacy is always
a goal because it gives you the best

413
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.079
seating and so it's the privilege to
be a conference champion. We've been a

414
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.720
conference champion before. But again,
when you look at it that we went

415
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.279
on the road to Ventshura, re
tied them and we've dealt them their only

416
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.400
lost. So our record is undefeated
against the team that won the conference who

417
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.680
you are looking to see again.
And you know, we really have really

418
00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.759
wanted to tell me that we took
we had five or six games away to

419
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:15.519
start the season and to hang through
that and then to end up on the

420
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.799
where we did in the conference.
I mean it's really a tribute to the

421
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.680
guys in the In our plan,
the plan was to end at home,

422
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.880
to be come, start, start, stay, stay within it, and

423
00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:29.480
then have the last eight games go
un beaten. I mean, it's really

424
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.839
a tribute to the plan and Sebah
and the team is the ones who do

425
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.240
deserve credit for executing it on the
field. Do you do you think are

426
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.920
you going to continue with this with
this way you're doing it with with the

427
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:44.359
league and all that. Are you
going to change it up next year?

428
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.640
Are you just going to kind of
continue it? I think the plan for

429
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:51.720
us is to stay in league too, but really announce our future, you

430
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:56.079
know, moving into December or at
least our near future, where we're going

431
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.799
what we plan on doing. And
that's really that starts in August with a

432
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:03.200
really strong, you know, five
months plan of analyzing what we're doing,

433
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:07.519
talking to the partners where they'd like
to see us go, talking some of

434
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.119
the investors into some of the real
estate, you know, interests from the

435
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.519
league, and see where the league
sees us as well. So it's a

436
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:18.359
bunch of meetings with a bunch of
people that are really critical for us to

437
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.200
decide on the overall, But again, the future is very bright. We'll

438
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.759
be playing soccer next summer, there's
no question about that at the league level

439
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.480
we're at. But really twenty twenty
six, when the World Compas year is

440
00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.960
really going to be where we're where
we're deciding where we're going, you know,

441
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.559
in terms of the pro the pro
route, and that will be clear

442
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.279
by then. If not having us
playing pro at that point, well,

443
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.519
with all this that called the mosaic
that's coming up, you know, in

444
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.759
the next few years. Over on
the on the other side of the other

445
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.839
side of the freeway, are you
guys going to be a part of that

446
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.359
at all or is there something going
in there for you or are you going

447
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.359
to still be at the stadium where
you're at. So obviously in the Zack

448
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:06.160
in their base planning, their plan
is in the third phase. There is

449
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:11.839
a Docker stadium in that plan.
But again we're waiting, obviously, like

450
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.559
all of us, to see how
the other phases go. I mean,

451
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.759
I think certainly everyone's filled with optimism, and if that's the case, certainly

452
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:23.119
that would be a very good option
for us. But when when you're talking

453
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:27.039
about that, you're talking about if
everything is perfectly on time. That would

454
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:32.079
be a stadium in twenty eight so
we would want to answer pro the right

455
00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:34.640
right year of the World Cup.
Could we play where we're currently at?

456
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:37.759
Yes, but we would only do
that if we had a long term plan

457
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:44.279
with a stadium location that would serve
the overall business interest to the next decade.

458
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.759
So okay, let me ask you, because I know you coach,

459
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:49.680
and you probably I think you did
say this last time you're on You're doing

460
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:53.640
some work with some clubs in town, so you have more than just this

461
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.920
on your plate, right, Yeah. I mean what I do is obviously

462
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:03.240
we you know, we're partnered with
FT two so on Youth, So I

463
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.200
sit on the board and I work
with Dave Cosgrove and Mike Corbis and Wolfgang

464
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:11.079
Weber and the wonderful people that work
there in the borough. Garcia coaches our

465
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:15.640
women's team to really try to make
an integrated plan for any three year old

466
00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.359
starring soccer to come all the way
through FC two, song USL and WPSL

467
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:23.079
SO and then because I have the
time to do that as an empty nest

468
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.200
or, I coached the thirteen and
fourteen year old boys teams which play in

469
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.359
the ECNL, and our fourteen year
old boys, you know, went too

470
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:36.160
and one in the national tournament,
losing to Seattle United, who's probably the

471
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.319
favorite to win the national championship in
that platform. So yeah, but I'm

472
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.000
still coaching, I'm still working.
We just started a brand new futsal league

473
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.279
at the event center across from where
we play our games called Tucson Footsall League,

474
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.680
And you know, we're again I'm
always trying to add to what we're

475
00:31:53.680 --> 00:32:00.079
doing by having complimentary properties that really
just grow the game. Cool. Okay,

476
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:02.839
well we appreciate your time. So
what do we need to do?

477
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:07.519
Uh, game is win and tickets
and all that stuff. Friday night doubleheader,

478
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:12.400
we're the seven thirty game. Tickets

bet. Tickets are on sale right now.

481

good seats go quickly on playoffs.

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.640
So I would get on there,
get that done, and uh, you

can't wait to see everybody on Friday
night where we're in take on Flat Irons,

Tucson cool. I wear extra large.

485
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.279
I got to Jay, what about
you? I can't believe that.

486
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:45.559
I mean, you guys just seem
like medium guys. Nook, I haven't

487

junior high. Let me tell you, don't worry. You got the coach

488
00:32:50.200 --> 00:33:02.519
on tomorrow. But yeah, yeah, actually I probably were a medium maybe

489
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:08.640
through about the tenth phrase. Then
that was that coch Yeah did you take

00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:30.159
well, he's Yeah, he's a
thoughtful guy. Yeah. You hope,

551
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.840
you hope for the best for guys, especially when they're good guys, because

552
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:36.599
you know, yeah, so many
guys aren't and you know what they get

553
00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.599
into the shore. Sure that realm, So you know it's good. It's

554
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:44.400
good to see, right, all
right? Uh did you see you saw?

555
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.440
We've talked about this sort of loves
new hairdoo. Yeah, short,

556
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:52.320
short and proper. Yeah. I'm
not sure. We got a few months

557
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:54.239
before he comes on the court.
I'm not sure if he's an NBA guy.

558
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:58.119
I still say that had he had
a chance, they would have give

559
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:02.440
him a chance. Right Well yeah, yeah, well but he's still he's

560
00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:07.119
still got a time and he's in
a position where he can still prove himself

561
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.079
to be excuse me an NBA.
Yeah, I think his game will have

562
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:13.679
to change how so exactly? I
mean, you know, what are they

563
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:16.719
looking for? You and I we're
not scouts. I don't know, Okay,

564
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.840
So I just I don't know why
I thought that. I just thoughtout

565
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.400
that, you know too, I
think he's going to be undersold. And

566
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:30.000
I party asked this of coach what's
his name, Coach Tommy about the Martinis

567
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.599
the Martinis kid. Because Martinez is
playing for the Spain you you twenty,

568
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.199
I think it is, and he's
doing fairly well playing. I think he's

569
00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:40.400
going to be underserved or he's undervalued
because he can handle the ball. He's

570
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:45.119
a smart dude, doesn't turn it
over. He's not Kerr. He's he's

571
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:49.039
a guy who just runs the offense
right. And and because there was on

572
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:53.800
his party lacking in the backcourt depth
wise that he might see sometime if Bradley

573
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:59.559
doesn't do you know whatever, and
Love isn't still not a ball handler.

574
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:01.239
Yeah, he's a two more,
he's a two. I mean, he's

575
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:05.480
definitely a two. I mean,
could I Yeah, that's one thing.

576
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:07.599
I don't see him being able to, you know, run the point right

577
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.679
in the NBA unless that's asked of
him. And then I don't know if

578
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:15.119
Tommy's Tommy's not obligated to the NBA, but he's yeah, yeah, exactly.

579
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:17.920
And plus, you know, if
you're in, if you're in the

580
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.480
NBA, you're gonna get a guy
who's a natural point point right, right.

581
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.360
You know you don't need you don't
need to pick Caleb Love to be

582
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:28.840
your point guard. You can go
get a point right. Uh. So

583
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:30.559
we'll see what happens with that.
I'm looking forward to the basketball season.

584
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:35.280
Obviously. Somebody somebody already asked me, can you give me two tickets to

585
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.199
the Duke game? And I said, who do you think I am asking?

586
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:43.559
Christy Brinkley? Will you marry me? It's probably an easier time doing

587
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:46.320
that. Somebody's already asking to don't
you have any more pool? I said

588
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:51.800
that law that ship said, go
god. We never had pull for things

589
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:55.039
like tickets though sports writers and stuff. I don't even have pull now,

590
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:59.440
and I do work over there for
well those are you that's your pay?

591
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:02.159
Yeah, ticket two tickets? Leaders, Well, that's why they'll be in

592
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:06.199
the billiding for Duke. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, no, oh my

593
00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.760
wife fired up for that game,
those tickets, and we talked about this

594
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:13.440
a while back when the game was
gonna happen. Uh, there have been

595
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:17.079
fewer bigger games than Duke coming in
now North Carolina, if you remember looks

596
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:22.400
last finishing year, Michigan, Michigan
came here. But the North Carolina game,

597
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.559
it was like people are sellers their
tickets that crazy and that it turned

598
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:28.360
out to be a dud of a
game because that was a bad day.

599
00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:30.320
That was a Marcus Williams game because
you know, you you get it,

600
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.360
you get through the arena and you
can feel feel it. That was one

601
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.480
of the games where you could feel
it. You could feel it, and

602
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:39.440
then it went. That game went
the hell by the way fast down.

603
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:45.639
But you're the Michigan game, even
the Connecticut game, the Kansas came here,

604
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:50.000
right, the Kansas game was a
festival classic game when it when there

605
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.599
was no longer a tournament, just
a single game that was you know,

606
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:58.159
dorew sponsors and stuff, and that
was a fun game. Yeah. I

607
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:02.800
think the Michigan State game was maybe
after the nineteen eighty nineteen nineteen ninety nine

608
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.679
championship year that they had. In
two thousand you know, so there's been

609
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:12.159
a lot of great games that one
will have it for sure. Yeah.

610
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:16.119
Yeah. And then of course the
Big Twelve minus the Kansas game. Yeah,

611
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:21.760
I still I can't believe they did
that. Yeah. So in fact,

612
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:23.920
Troy, because I usually go to
those games, Troy said, are

613
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.840
you going to go to Ken's game? Now, I've already been there there

614
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:32.679
in Manhattan, Kansas. Yeah,
so that let if I hadn't been there

615
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.440
before, I wouldn't And then then
tournament, we've gotta get ready for the

616
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:43.480
back of the mark what yes you
did? Yes, you did that counts.

617
00:41:43.679 --> 00:41:45.400
I was going to see the pack
the Big Twelve tournament. Stop it,

618
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.159
stop it, stop it. That's
a buck. That's a buck.

619
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:53.480
It's going to be a packed.
Brian, Brian, I called you,

620
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:58.800
Brian, Ryan, come on,
you're the ref on this. He was

621
00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:02.119
starting to it's a bus. That's
a buck. No, it's a buck.

622
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:06.480
It's a buck. Shoot, it's
a buck. The Big Twelve Tournament

623
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:08.039
in Kansas City, because they didn't
have to say them Nicholas for that one.

624
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:12.159
Yeah, because that's then when the
last time you're in Kansas City.

625
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:15.480
Oh, I don't remember, honestly, Uh, I don't I've only been

626
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.719
once and that was that eighty eight. Fi, it's been a while.

627
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:21.639
I can't tell you what I remember, having some great barbecue there in one

628
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:23.480
of them, of course, of
course. Uh maybe I flew in there

629
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:28.519
to get to Lawrence. Probably there
to get to Lawrence to drive too,

630
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:34.599
you know, that was a kend
to get year. Yeah, but I

631
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:37.000
didn't stay. Yeah. No,
you know, because people to ask,

632
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:40.599
are you gonna go to Kansas City
for the And I'm like, I probably

633
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.920
not unless, you know, unless
we're making a fortune on this show and

634
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:46.519
we have the mind to do that, maybe even get a sponsor to the

635
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:50.800
take us there. But but I
think, I I think as of now,

636
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:52.119
I don't know. You know this, As of now, the PAC

637
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:57.840
twelve is supposed to host the West
Region I think basketball, and as of

638
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.280
now, I'm working it. If
they do them fact, continue to host

639
00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:05.320
it. Okay, the Western Regional
where it's in San Francisco, in San

640
00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:10.440
Francisco that the Warrior Place Warriors Arena. Okay, like before, Okay,

641
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:14.360
that'd be cool in San Francisco,
you know, because the last time it

642
00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:16.039
was in San Francisco, the PAC
twelve was the host. Yeah. Now,

643
00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:21.920
last year in Vegas, u n
LV was the host. But you

644
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:25.719
know we were told that after last
year that as of now and if the

645
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:31.159
if the PAC twelve continues to be
and they host the thing, well I'll

646
00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:36.360
go work. That will have an
impact on whether or not, you know,

647
00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:39.599
go to Western Regional Sweet sixteen or
they. Oh yeah, so that's

648
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:44.519
well, that's two weeks before the
Sweet sixteen and the Big twelve would be

649
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:46.440
the two weeks before. Yeah,
I mean, I mean if the PAC

650
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:50.480
twelve was having its tournament next year, I definitely go do that. But

651
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:53.880
yeah, I don't think they're having
a tournament that's a one game between right,

652
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:59.440
automatic bid to the n C Double
A. In fact, we should

653
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:04.920
try to get the yogi yeah,
because Justin actually mentioned them earlier, right

654
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:07.639
right, they will do like a
best of seven Yeah maybe yeah, maybe

655
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.800
the best two out of three or
something like that, but you know,

656
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.639
you get the automatic bit. I
don't think the pact gets Let me let

657
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:17.679
me ask you the question. We
have nine minutes and maybe we get a

658
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:22.159
call here from somebody who's older and
listened to us. So you're older now,

659
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:27.880
and you you talk very fondly and
very h giddy being a kid in

660
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:31.280
the seventies because you remember all that
stuff. I don't know if you remember

661
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:37.480
you because you do you follow remember
do you appreciate appreciate? Do you do

662
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:47.159
you remember that time more enthusiastically as
a kid or now you know what I'm

663
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:52.000
saying, because when you're kidding,
you know every player right right the game?

664
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:55.920
Yeah, you know that it was
so simple back then because you know,

665
00:44:57.079 --> 00:44:59.840
you hop on the bus or when
we started driving, you know,

666
00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:02.480
we'd go to the games, would
have a great time and you know,

667
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:05.880
go home from the games. You
know, when I was in college,

668
00:45:06.639 --> 00:45:08.000
i'd go to the games that you
would go out and do something you know

669
00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:13.559
afterwards. Uh, and on too
until I started covering the team, right,

670
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:16.000
and then sort of when I came
out of covering the team, it

671
00:45:16.039 --> 00:45:21.440
all became about tailgating, right,
and some now other games the games were

672
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:24.119
you know, were you know,
your tailgate, and so it was kind

673
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:27.760
of like you did the tailgate and
then because there was a game, you

674
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.039
went to the game. And that's
kind of where we've been since then.

675
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:35.760
So it's become more of a you
know, an event as opposed to just

676
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:37.039
going to the game and I went. I mean, you know, I

677
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.000
know all these games that you were
talking about in the seventies and stuff like

678
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.320
that, because I was a kid
and that was the coolest thing, right.

679
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:49.679
I remember the first game I can
remember ever going to. The first

680
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:52.880
u of a football game I can
remember going to would have been in the

681
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:58.280
late sixties. My brothers were both
in high school at Sunnyside and they were

682
00:45:58.280 --> 00:46:00.480
in the band, and there was
a band Day. Used to be a

683
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:05.440
thing where all the bands from the
entire city would come to the game and

684
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:07.760
they would all be on the field
and play at halftime. So you'd have,

685
00:46:08.239 --> 00:46:10.840
you know, twenty bands out there. However many high schools there were

686
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:14.599
because some bands would come from out
it, you know, you get Benson

687
00:46:14.639 --> 00:46:19.599
and Douglas and you know, so
the field would fill up with you know,

688
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:22.159
the bands. And my brothers were
in the Sunnyside band, so we'd

689
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:24.639
go to that game. That's the
first game I can remember going to.

690
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:30.480
I think they played Iowa State is
the first game I can never remember going

691
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:35.280
to. Going into the stadium.
It didn't have the upper deck on the

692
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:37.880
on the east side, and that's
the first game I can remember going to

693
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:43.400
until I started going to games on
my own the first year of Jim Young

694
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:46.960
and so, and that was you
know, I'd go with my friends and

695
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.239
we went to those games and it
was just a blast for us. It

696
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:52.400
was the coolest thing. We were
like, there's some level of freedom that

697
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:55.760
we had to be on our own. Would go sit in the not hoole

698
00:46:55.880 --> 00:47:01.119
section, then would escape from the
not whole section because they had monitors there,

699
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:06.000
so you weren't supposed to leave the
not whole area, and we would

700
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:07.559
and would go sit, you know, in the high seat. So was

701
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:12.719
that that game here? Yes?
Yeah, so you were born in fifty

702
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.800
nine. Yes, Oh, so
you're seven Is that when that game was

703
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:17.119
sixty six? Yeah, that would
have been it. Yeah, they were

704
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:20.679
in the band at the end of
sixty six. Yeah, that was so

705
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:22.039
I would have been seven years old. That was the first game I can

706
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:27.119
remember. First uf A football game
I can remember going to. And then

707
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:30.360
it was funny because when we moved
out to the East Side when Bob Weber

708
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:37.760
was the coach, their kids lived
in our neighborhood and so there were some

709
00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.639
kids that we knew and we played
football together. And then Bob Webber got

710
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:44.880
fired and it was like bummer dude, your dad just lost his job,

711
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:47.159
you know. And that was and
that's when they brought in and that's when

712
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.119
they brought in Jim Young. Jim
Weber was seventy ye Young was in seventy

713
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:53.960
two. Young was seventy three seventy
three, right, Yeah, Bob Weber

714
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:58.760
was after the seventy two seas.
So this is foreign to me, but

715
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:01.360
I know the name. Moudro So
Mujo had an eight three season sixty eight

716
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:05.039
did he go? Where do you
go? He left? Yeah? He

717
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:08.960
left for god, where did he
go? So let me say this.

718
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:12.880
So and they ran him out of
town. He got run out of town

719
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.039
because he wanted more money and they
just said no, we're not gonna give

720
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.519
it to you until he left.
So three seasons okay, yeah, really,

721
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:24.639
yeah, there's your there's your there's
your. Well that was that was

722
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:29.320
the ultimatum Bowl year that I talked
to you about. That's that was it.

723
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:32.320
They lost to Auburn in the Sumbol
Yeah, they lost. They lost.

724
00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:35.840
You got be thirty one to nothing, I think thirty seven, thirty

725
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.280
seven, thirty to seven, okay, and then they the it was Auburn

726
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:43.400
beat him like thirty one to okay, and so they lost to Auburn that

727
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.519
year and then uh, then they
hired Bob Weber, who I think was

728
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:50.159
the Darren Muja assistant. Okay,
uh and uh he was here for a

729
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.159
few years and then they fired Hyeah. Yeah, that's when. That's when

730
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.400
Jim Young came. Really, when
you think about it, everything changed when

731
00:48:54.440 --> 00:49:00.599
Jim Young got here, because they
got good really fast. I remember the

732
00:49:00.599 --> 00:49:04.719
there's a there's an Air Force game
at the end of the seventy three season

733
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:08.880
where Arizona was losing badly, came
back and got within a point or two

734
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:13.000
maybe went for two and didn't get
it and lost or something like that,

735
00:49:13.719 --> 00:49:15.679
and then they were like, oh
they were they were eight and two,

736
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:19.119
and we're like, well heck.
Then they went and played AC and a

737
00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:21.800
US to beat the crap out of
them, like fifty five to something fifty

738
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:23.719
five nineteen Yeah, yeah, you're
right, twenty six to twenty seven.

739
00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:29.119
Got you can't. You can't get
out of your house calling down you can

740
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:31.800
remember this stuff. It's a dazy
what are you? You're not with us

741
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:35.360
tomorrow? No? Oh? That
was the Air Force game? Is twenty

742
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:37.159
seven to twenty six? Okay,
what the Arizona did was they went for

743
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.639
two to try and win the game, and they didn't get it and lost

744
00:49:40.639 --> 00:49:45.119
twenty seven to twenty six. But
people were excited, you know, they

745
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:46.840
were right in nineteenth Yeah, at
that time. I remember at the end

746
00:49:46.840 --> 00:49:51.679
of that game, even though they
lost, the crowd was still there and

747
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:54.239
you heard the u of a chant
They were chanting for you. Oh no,

748
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:58.800
they were chanting beat ten p because
that's what they would call it.

749
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:00.719
They're chanting beat ten. And then
of course he went and got the living

750
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:05.760
hell beat out of the next year. Danny White I think was the quarterback

751
00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:09.239
at ACU that year, Bruce Hill, but Bruceill was the quarterback here and

752
00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:14.000
they got the hell beat out of
him in that season. Yeah, so

753
00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:20.639
Jim Young kind of did said that's
what we're talking about. Yeah, And

754
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:23.000
none of those none of those games
ended in a bowl game because we were

755
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:28.199
in the whack. And as you
you know, won the league all three

756
00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:30.960
of those years, I think maybe
one, Yeah, I think all three

757
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:34.400
of those seasons they you won the
No, maybe seventy four they didn't,

758
00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.519
uh seventy four, they did not
win the league. Arizona beat him that

759
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:40.760
year. Tend to nothing. Willie
Hamilton with a touchdown in that game,

760
00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:47.320
I remember that too. Cant name
his kids, but Tommy, Joey,

761
00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:51.519
you know what, there's people out
there right now going remember that. I

762
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:54.000
remember. I remember Willy Hamilton's going
the touchdown. Yeah, and you know,

763
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:58.079
and and that and that, and
then, like I said, you

764
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:00.760
know, we our tickets. Back
then, the student section was in the

765
00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:05.400
corner where the band is now.
Okay, then he used to call that

766
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:08.159
coffin corner. And because there were
bad things happening there all the time.

767
00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:15.960
So the seats at the fifty yard
line were general public seats, so we

768
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:20.480
had some for that for that ASU
game. We we sat, we sat

769
00:51:20.559 --> 00:51:22.679
like on the forty yard line,
and we were pretty down low and we

770
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:25.159
you know, my friend and I
rushed the field. I grabbed it.

771
00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:29.559
I grabbed a couple of gin straps
off of some guys helmets, and and

772
00:51:29.599 --> 00:51:32.519
what'd you do with I don't remember, I have no idea what I ever.

773
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:37.159
Do you remember you covered the team
in eighty nine, right? Yes?

774
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:39.159
So did I? Uh so did

775
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:44.280
other. I don't remember. I
couldn't remember anything right now of the comparable

776
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:47.320
against North Carolina. Yeah, I
don't remember. Scott Guy with interception in

777
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:51.760
turn for a touchdown, remember,
remember I remember? And that was the

778
00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:52.559
sort of at the end of the
game. We were on the field,

779
00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:57.559
right it was. It was it
was seventeen to ten. North Carolina State

780
00:51:57.639 --> 00:52:00.000
was driving for a score and he
picked off a pad ran it back like

781
00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:05.400
eighty yards for a touchdown. And
that's what that was. We finished seventeen

782
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:07.880
is that what? Well? Okay, the seven well then it was the

783
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.840
winning touch here the name the name
from that year. Do you remember a

784
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:15.159
lot to day? Yeah? Yeah, he was a receiver on and he

785
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:19.639
scored a touchdown in that game.
Probably he was the only one. Then.

786
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.360
