Tonight they were in Mission Hills.

Cali. So we'll see how that
goes through that. Yeah, we had

9
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:45.759
that right, that's right there.
And then he was gonna go see his

10
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.479
kid play. Yeah, uh,
who's you? Who's your cla open with

11
00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:53.119
I don't remember, I don't remember. They're not on coastal Carolina coastline.

12
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.520
An interesting matchup right there. Yeah
yeah, so all right, yeah,

13
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.840
but yeah, no, that's it's
it's amazing to me, Steve. I

14
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.840
mean it used to be like you
you'd go see you'd go play one Phoenix

15
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.319
team you know, a year and
that was a big deal, right and

16
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:08.439
and now they're you know, they're
going to California. You see some of

17
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.159
these national games. You're somebody from
Florida playing somebody from California. They're on

18
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.439
ESPN. It's crazy, crazy,
crazy stuff. We still got to get

19
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.760
out there and see see point.
It's that point. Last week you guys

20
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.959
went right, we didn't stay.
It was an hour and a half.

21
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.280
It's lightning delay actually, but so
we kind of just said, you know,

22
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.040
sleep is more important as we were
leaving this. Yeah, we had

23
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.280
our tackles and went home. Yeah. Moving into some Arizona soccer news.

24
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.400
They ended up eating Kent State last
night five zero, and Nicole Dollon has

25
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.439
scored in every match, so all
right, some encouraging signs, and then

26
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.000
they got another one. Is it
tomorrow or Sunday Sunday? Right, I

27
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.400
think it's Sunday Sunday they've got I
don't remember, but it's it's an ASU,

28
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.200
it's an ACU thing. Four teams
playing up all right, yep.

29
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.760
Arizona volleyball as well. They're going
on tonight they play Iowa State at the

30
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.359
GCU Invitational. They have a one
or two record now, so trying to

31
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.879
get back in the wind. Call. Yeah, they didn't do so good

32
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:12.719
at their tournament. This is gonna
probably be a nice long transition. It

33
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.879
could be coaches. Yeah, you
know, and I mean and true to

34
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:16.960
stuff has been there for a long
time, so that's not like, yeah,

35
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.240
that's programming. That's so. And
then remember when we had her on

36
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.479
because she had she had a tough
go at North Carolina State I think it

37
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.199
was, and then we asked her
she said, no, I had a

38
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.560
tough time, and I feel I'm
a different coach. So we'll see how

39
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.080
that goes. But you know,
those things, you know, can take

40
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:36.879
some time, So we'll see how
that goes. Five former Wildcats made NFL

41
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.280
rosters. Demitrius found again fouls.
It was with the forty nine ers,

42
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:46.199
JJ Taylor with the Patriots, Gary
Brightwells with the Giants, twenty Fields is

43
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.400
with the Browns, and Nick Folks
sticks around for another one with the fault

44
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.560
man. That guy's like over the
dirt. I mean, you know,

45
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.520
leather helmet found of guy. I'll
let him know once I try to get

46
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.840
him on the show. It.
I mean, he played dude, he

47
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.080
played for Stoops. He played but
three coaches a go. But if you're

48
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.520
four coaches a go, if you're
a kicker, you can do it.

49
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.719
Until Yeah, and he's good.
He's still good and it's consistent. I

50
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.479
was just something that I just saw
again, just a video clip that I

51
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.759
saw, the of the game winner
he hit against by U. Here was

52
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.439
two thousand and three ish, Yeah, I mean it was. It was

53
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.639
It was when Stoops was here,
so it would have been after that,

54
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:30.639
you know, I think it was. Remember I think it was the year

55
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.360
they went to the Vegas Bowl.
No, it wouldn't been because they had

56
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.560
they don't think they played by U
twice that year. But wait, if

57
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.240
we're talking, we are talking in
the mid two thousand, you know,

58
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.039
between twenty two twenty ten, so
a while, a while ago. Staying

59
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.319
with Arizona football. As of right
now, they have sold more than forty

60
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.919
six thousand tickets for tomorrow. Forty
six thousands. That's a new number.

61
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.159
Ye okay, I think you had
said just about fifteen maybe, And it

62
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.639
could be because if walk up,
the weather's gonna be okay, the weather's

63
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.400
great, and actually it's supposed to
be really nice. I'm not really nice,

64
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.800
but it's not going to be one
hundred and five like in you know,

65
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.479
put it this way, it's gonna
be way cooler than it was at

66
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.000
San Diego State last. If it's
like today where it's a little overcast and

67
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.360
kind of nice, maybe sit out
there, get a little breeze, get

68
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.680
some nachos in your gut. What
you starting about three thirty? About three

69
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.600
thirty, you know, we hope
to you know, it's a we're gearing

70
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.959
up, man, got a lot
of got got a good number of people

71
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.439
coming to our ten. You must
have some young guys to help you.

72
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.480
We do. We lined up what
we call sherpa's. You know you know

73
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.079
what sherpa? Yes, well you'll
get to tell me. Yes. The

74
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.680
sherpas are the are the guides or
the guys that carry all the stuff up

75
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.720
Mount Everest for the people who want
to hike Mount Everest. Okay, so

76
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.600
all these people say I made it
up Mount Everest, Well, your your

77
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.959
sherp has done it like forty times
and they have all your stuff when they

78
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.279
get all your stuff? So wait, when when the when the kids were

79
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.079
little, you know, when they
were ten, twelve, fourteen years old

80
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.000
and would teenagers to come and help
us set up, they were known as

81
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.279
the sherpas. They're just older.
They're now, they're just older that some

82
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.040
of them have kids, but they're
coming to help tomorrow. Which is great.

83
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.959
With the football seasons in full swing, it supports to remember the new

84
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.879
rules and college football that the clock
will continue to run after first downs.

85
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:17.360
Upset in the last two minutes and
a half, right, that was a

86
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.759
big one. A lot of time. It changes, it changes things,

87
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.000
and and it changes the way they
play. And I know, I remember

88
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.839
J fifth said he liked it.
You know, no, wh would you.

89
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.879
The only thing that's gonna slow it
even more well slows it down is

90
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.800
upon further review. We gotta look
at the damn camera. God, there

91
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.879
was again, there was that one
in the USC game. They they they

92
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:42.519
had to review two different things and
literally literally took ten minutes added ten minutes

93
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.680
to the game to go to to
get that one play right, and neither

94
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.839
review and you know changed, you
know, nothing changed. Crazy, there's

95
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:55.240
a there's another one about what is
it? What was the other? A

96
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.360
couple of other rules. I can't
remember what they are. Hell, oh,

97
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.240
forget there's too many nowadiys. Yeah, yeah, okay, Moving into

98
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.879
some Arizona baseball, the Yankees called
up catcher Austin Wells. I don't know

99
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.199
if you guys remember him when he
was here a few years ago. Austin

100
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.800
Wills yep with the Yankees. Huh
yeah, right, yank for him.

101
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.759
I guess good luck with that.
You know what, if I was good

102
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:23.319
enough to play and I got and
even though I'm a Dodger fan, I

103
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.959
got into the Yankee organization, I'd
be happy as they all. But he's

104
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.000
all right, Well, good for
him. That's another guy. You don't

105
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:35.399
another guy added a whole bunch of
him. Yeah yeah, Moving into uh,

106
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:42.240
some more MLB stuff. So that
MLB is currently testing facial authentication for

107
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:47.040
tickets. I saw that. Yeah
what yeah, yeah, it's unbelievable films

108
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.079
too, I think, or whatever
it is. Yeah, I saw that.

109
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.519
That's gonna be unbelievable. So that
if you run on the field,

110
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.560
they know you can't come back,
or just that's what your ticket will be.

111
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.480
That's what particularly You can just walk
right through. You don't have to

112
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.879
worry about scanning anything. Yeah,
dude, big brothers looking at you.

113
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.720
What if you put on a bunch
of weight or lose a bunch of weight,

114
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:13.439
you know, Yeah, I mean
I lost twenty pounds in the last

115
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.639
in the last couple of months.
I don't look like I did. But

116
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.360
he probably have to submit a photo
or something. I don't I don't know,

117
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.560
I don't know. Wow, yeah, welcome to the world. No

118
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.639
kidding, man, I mean I
guess that that you know that that's pretty

119
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:28.240
cool that you don't have to scan
a ticket but just walk in there,

120
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.040
look at here. I am.
Okay, Well, they wouldn't have the

121
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.439
same problem that they did two three
years ago. Remember a time, Yeah,

122
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.399
first year, first year. Yeah, well they stopped to scan you

123
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:42.720
and check you and blah blah blah. Yeah. Yeah. Thinking with MLB.

124
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.439
Ronald Lacuna entered the thirty sixty club
last night, the first guy to

125
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.079
ever do ever do it? Yeah, yeah, he is so good the

126
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.720
MVP race. Who do you think
should Well it's him now, it's him

127
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.360
now. But you know, I
don't know how. I don't know how

128
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.279
he could lose it in the last
month. Yeah right, I mean,

129
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.480
Mookie has had a great year.
Uh, Freddy Freeman has had an incredible

130
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.680
year. But I mean again,
like I said, what ron Lacuna walks

131
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.199
up bases loaded, you know,
in a in a you know, close

132
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.600
game, and I'm like, how
is he going to do anything other than

133
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.279
hit a Grand One postseason. Yeah, and he just and he and he

134
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.160
and he hit a bomb and and
it was like, what the hell,

135
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.439
I mean, he's that good?
You just you just expect that of him.

136
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:37.360
Yeah, Braves. It was upsetting. Yeah, but I will say,

137
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.639
and look, I I don't I
shouldn't say I hate the Braves.

138
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.840
I used to hate the Braves when
they were before you were born, when

139
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.080
they were them and the Dodgers in
the We're both in the National League West,

140
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.679
and they were going at it every
year. Joe Tory was the manager

141
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:56.480
of the Braves, but not since
then. And then you know, Ron

142
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.559
Lacuna is one of those guys that
you have in appreciation to see him play,

143
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.080
right, And and look, there's
not a single Yankee that I thought

144
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.399
that of, but Ron Lacune is
a guy that you watch him playing,

145
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.360
you go, okay, that's something
like watching Ken Griffey Jr. You know,

146
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.320
you go, man, that that's
just the dude. And I was

147
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.000
upset to see what he did,
but I had an appreciation for it.

148
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:22.600
Yeah. Moving into some Arizona softball, they dropped their false schedules starting October

149
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.879
sixth, so you know, some
some excitement there. I know, the

150
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.200
the baseball softball sports is gonna have
to pick it up this next season.

151
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.360
Yeah, yeah, neither one of
them. Have you come? Have you

152
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.120
covered in you that? None of
that yet. I'm hoping to get some

153
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.200
of some games in though. Okay, cool yep. And then moving into

154
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.679
the Arizona basketball director of basketball operations
was named Evan Manning. He was former

155
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.120
KU player right staff, son of
Danny Manning. These hires that they're making,

156
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.799
I think they hired somebody else to
like video guy or something like that.

157
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.639
I can't remember. Yeah. Yeah, he hasn't entourage. I won't

158
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.960
if we get a jobs game,
so they don't take well they need.

159
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.080
I can't carry stuff, you're out. I can't carry stuff. No,

160
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.279
I can't. I stood up to
my My grandson was at her house today

161
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:16.320
and I was, you know,
I was sitting on the floor plane with

162
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.519
him, and I said, I
picked him up, and I stood up

163
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.279
and my knee popped and I nearly
fell that. Yeah, I could have

164
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.799
gone down right on top of the
kid, and that would have been That

165
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.440
would have been bad. They would
have trusted me with him anymore. Oh,

166
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:35.200
I can't get up, follard.
What else? That's it? That's

167
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.559
it right now. I can stay
tuned into that volleyball game tonight see if

168
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.679
they can bounce back. But all
right, well again all kinds of football

169
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.480
things. A couple of games getting
just starting, actually I don't remember.

170
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.799
And then the Stanford's got Hawaii tonight
in Hawaii. I think they're actually a

171
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.759
favorite in this game, but not
by a lot, by a couple of

172
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.360
points. Oh, I wanted to
attend, and you'll get the names correct

173
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.559
for me, Jay. So the
thing that Jason Sheer brought up yesterday,

174
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.240
in fact, the guy's got to
sit out right, Uh yeah, he's

175
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.200
got to sit out. And they
didn't catch it at usc NO, and

176
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.559
I guess they're saying he's Christian Roland
so he'll be suspended for the next game.

177
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.399
And maybe the NC double A didn't
notify or whatever. I mean,

178
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.679
you sit there and say, I
know I did this, but unless somebody

179
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.159
comes and calls me on it,
I'm gonna, you know, I'm just

180
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.679
gonna play like I forgot. I'm
sure that's what they did. So they're

181
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:33.159
not gonna have to They're not gonna
have to four for the game. Sure,

182
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.480
Christian Roland Wallace will sit and sit
out the first half of next week's

183
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.799
game, just getting started Central Michigan
at Michigan State. Michigan State's a fourteen

184
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:46.679
and a half point favorite. And
then there's there's been some funny stuff.

185
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.720
Miami, Ohio is playing Miami Florida, and Miami how tweeted some social media

186
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.960
stuff saying we're the real Miami,
and so they were just kind of going

187
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.320
back and forth, and it's pretty
funny. But I think someone from Miami

188
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:05.559
Arizona said, for the one dude
that lives there, now everybody's got a

189
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.360
mind, bro, you're not the
real man. So Miami Florida is favored

190
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.440
by sixteen and a half. Uh
there that that games in Miami, and

191
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.120
then Louisville goes to Georgia Tech.
So that's a that's an acc game.

192
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.240
Louisville is a seven and a half
point favorite in that. That's at four

193
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:24.000
thirty our time here, and then
at eight eight o'clock our time, you've

194
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.879

196
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.240

197
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:43.519

your show. You gotta wake up
so we get a big day tomorrow.

315
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.880
You're resting up putty there. Yeah, man, I'm just chilling right now.

316
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.839
I've been doing shows all week long. I've been doing a bunch of

317
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:15.880
stories all week long. So now
I'm officially in that recovery mode until game

318
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:21.039
time tomorrow night. When when do
you get your game face on tomorrow?

319
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:22.920
You know, when do you start
like gearing up and thinking about the game

320
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:26.359
and thinking about what I you know, what I got to pay attention to,

321
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.079
what I got to write all that
stuff. Oh man, I get

322
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.000
my game face on as soon as
I hear the college game day theme song

323
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:37.359
on my TV at six o'clock in
the morning. There you go, you

324
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.400
go, there you go. And
as soon as I hear that, man,

325
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:41.759
that's that's when you know, all
right, it's college football Saturday.

326
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.519
Let's do it. But I don't
think Big and Rich is doing the game

327
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.279
day theme song anymore, so it
just it doesn't hit the same. But

328
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:51.279
yeah, usually early in the morning, first thing, as soon as I

329
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:55.160
wake up, when you see the
full slate of games and people are talking

330
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:56.640
about a college game day, that's
when I usually, you know, kind

331
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:00.559
of get my game day face on. There you go. So I saw

332
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.759
I saw your your your post on
social media about just how you know how

333
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:07.200
much this means to you to be, you know, be the beat writer.

334
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.640
You know, you grew up watching
Wildcats and reading the pay for that

335
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.839
kind of stuff and now you're the
guy. Just you know, before we

336
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.759
start talking about the game, just
give us a little bit of some of

337
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.200
your thoughts about, you know,
the job that you have and you know

338
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.839
being there. Yeah, well,
I remember my first game at Arizona Stadium.

339
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.680
You know, unfortunately I missed out
on the Dick Tomy era. My

340
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:32.759
family and I moved to Tucson really
in the late nineties, and we didn't

341
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:36.519
start going to Arizona football games until
like Stoops was the coach. And I'll

342
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.200
never forget when Willie tweet Toma made
his home debut and that was my very

343
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:47.359
first action watching Arizona football. And
I'll never forget the kind of the buzz

344
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.480
around, Oh, this true freshman
quarterback, he's going to be starting,

345
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:53.720
he's really good, this is his
home debut. And UCLA they're a top

346
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.519
ten team. They had this great
running back and Maurice Drew, who's really

347
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:02.839
good in USC's the business. And
I was, you know, really just

348
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:04.920
just all in on kind of the
hype, and the next thing, you

349
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.559
know, Arizona goes out and Clopper's
UCLA fifty two to fourteen. And from

350
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:15.599
that point, I saw how much
Arizona football meant to two people. I

351
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.200
know, it's not at the same
level as men's basketball, but in Arizona

352
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.960
football means a lot to people in
Tucson. And you know, for that

353
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.079
to be my first experience and then
then being able to see a lot of

354
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:27.680
great games after that, you know, I think probably you know, the

355
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.640
next memorable game that comes to mind
is Antwa Cason's pick six against Cal when

356
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.200
Cal was loaded and they had Deshan
Jackson and Marshawn Lynch and all these other

357
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.000
great players on their team. And
to see that and see the fans rush

358
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.279
the field, you know, Arizona
football has always meant a lot to Tucson,

359
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.039
and honestly, following it, it's
always meant a lot to me.

360
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.119
And I remember, you know,
waking up and reading the stories in the

361
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.519
Arizona Daily Star and being able to
go out and cover the team and tell

362
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.359
these stories. That's something that I've
always wanted to do, and I finally

363
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.839
get able to do it. Yeah, what years were there? How old

364
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.799
were you? About thirteen two when
I want to go see Willie tweet Thomas

365
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:14.000
debut. Yeah, I was about
ten years old, so it was in

366
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:17.359
the fifth grade. So so you
grew up on the Star, not the

367
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:21.799
Citizen, because the Citizen was probably
not this paper, not around anymore.

368
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.480
It was not like it was last
year. Yeah, but that you know,

369
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.759
that's when you're when you're a young
kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

370
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.119
okay, And this is you're kind
of doing your job that you wanted

371
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:36.079
to do. It's probably not your
dream job or is it your dream job?

372
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.279
I would totally say it's definitely a
dream job of mine because I grew

373
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.200
up in here in Tucson. I've
I've always wanted to be successful what I

374
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.920
do and still be able to live
in my hometown. And so I'm at

375
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:55.000
a point right now where I have
a job that a lot of people would

376
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:56.599
kill to have and it would be
so lucky to have, and so I

377
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.160
don't take it for granted. And
so you I mean, we'll we'll see,

378
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.119
well really what the what the future
holds somewhere down the road. But

379
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:07.480
you know what, I think,
you know, I'm gonna be, you

380
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:10.720
know, doing this gig for a
little while. I love my job.

381
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.559
All right, So you've got your
first game tomorrow. We've been talking about

382
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:18.720
this for so long with all the
other stuff that's been going on around around

383
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.039
college football, but just some of
your thoughts about, you know, what

384
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.039
you expect to see tomorrow, what
you're keeping an eye out for. Yeah,

385
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.640
I really think that this should be
kind of an easy game for Arizona

386
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:34.119
because I mean, there's just so
there's so much bigger on both sides of

387
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.319
the ball. You know. I
was looking at the weights for the starting

388
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:44.240
lines, and Arizona's offensive line is
just so much bigger than any used defensive

389
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:48.200
line. And that's why I think, you know, rather than the disappointment

390
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.519
that we saw from Arizona two years
ago, I think we're going to see

391
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.759
more of a game like the twenty
nineteen season when Arizona just clobbered in at

392
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.960
you and they ran all over them
and had two one hundred yard rusher.

393
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.119
I think we're going to see that
kind of game with you know, Jordan

394
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.839
Morgan back at left tackle after coming
back from ACL rehab, Jonah Savina at

395
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:11.960
right tackle, moving over there the
former pression All American and then big Raymond

396
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:17.960
Polido, who flipped from Alabama to
Arizona in the off season. You know,

397
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.839
he's sticks six, three hundred thirty
pounds like that is a massive human

398
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.400
being. And you have that guy
starting at your right guard spot. You

399
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.119
know, Jayden Delora has said that, you know, the two tackles that

400
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.160
Arizona has right now, these are
walking first rounders. And then you put

401
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:36.240
in Raymond Polido in that mix.
And then coupled with Josh Baker at center

402
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:40.720
who's a multi year starter, and
Wendell mo who played a little bit at

403
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.039
the tail end of last season.
You know, Arizona has the size and

404
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:49.240
the experience and the talent. And
I really really believe that tomorrow night,

405
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.680
We're not going to see a lot
of Jaden Delora slinging the ball. We

406
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.400
might see a player two for Jacob
Cowing and t mac and some receivers,

407
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.599
but I really think we're going to
see Arizona just go out and kind of

408
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:04.480
impose their will and just run all
over n e U. Yeah, I

409
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:10.519
think that's a good analysis. Yeah, for tomorrow. Yeah, defensively,

410
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.240
what do you what do you expect
to see defensively. You know, I'm

411
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:19.119
curious to see how Arizona does against
I mean, whoever's playing quarterback, because

412
00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:23.720
you know ANYU they have a little
quarterback controversy. It's either Ki Milner or

413
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.440
Angel Floras, both Arizona guys.
Kyle Milner is a former four star guy

414
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:32.119
who ended up going to CAW and
then transferred to any U. He's not

415
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:36.720
as mobile as Angel Flores. So
if Angel Flores is the guy who gets

416
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.480
the call, and now we're you
know, Arizona's dealing with a dual threat

417
00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:42.319
quarterback, you know, are you
going to be able to you know,

418
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:45.720
kind of keep an eye on him
and make sure that he doesn't get out

419
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.279
of pocket and start running. But
I mean, regardless, Arizona also has

420
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.720
just massive bodies on the defensive line
that they got from the trans reportal.

421
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:57.880
You know, Arizona's average defensive line
waits for the starters that they're going to

422
00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:00.920
roll out there. It's two hundred
and eighty three pounds. But I put

423
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:06.319
an asterisk next to that because one
of those starters weighs two hundred and twenty

424
00:28:06.359 --> 00:28:11.119
five pounds. The interior defensive linemen
are well over three hundred pounds and then

425
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:15.119
you have Taylor Upshaw the transfers from
Michigan. He's right there at like two

426
00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:19.720
ninety seven. So I mean the
Wildcashes have size, they have you know,

427
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:22.759
big bodies in the middle on the
interior line, and then they have

428
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.319
speed and athleticism and size coming off
the edge. And so I think it's

429
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.160
going to be a similar situation.
I think those guys that Arizona goth in

430
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.839
the trans reportal are gonna go out
there and shine. I'm curious to see

431
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:37.039
how many are consistently in rotation because
the defensive coordinator, Johnny Nanson, said

432
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.759
that he wanted to rotate anywhere from
maybe eight to nine guys, which is

433
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.200
a massive improvement from a year ago. So yeah, I think defensively,

434
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.319
you're going to see a lot of
defensive linemen get in the game. You're

435
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.400
gonna see those safeties rotate. You
know, Gunner Maldonado and Dalton Johnston were

436
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:57.079
named the two starting safeties. You
know, how does Isaiah Taylor come in

437
00:28:57.119 --> 00:29:00.519
the game and affect the game?
Because you know, jet Fish, I

438
00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:03.440
thought made a really good point.
You know, just because you know it's

439
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.519
the first week depth chart, it
doesn't mean that that's what it's going to

440
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.680
be like for the rest of the
season. You know Jacob Man who last

441
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:15.400
year he started off the season playing
on the scout team and then next thing

442
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.279
you know, he's arguably Arizona's most
impactful player on that side of the ball.

443
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:22.720
So I mean, if guys going
in practice and go on the scout

444
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.319
team and make an impact, a
coach has noticed that stuff. And that's

445
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.079
how wendelm got on the starting offensive
line. So you know, Isaiah Taylor,

446
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.920
how how will he look when he
gets in the game? Jenesis Smith

447
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:38.799
of freshman safety firm Chandler, Now, these are really talented safeties, and

448
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:42.599
jet Fish said that, you know, just because you know you're not starting,

449
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:45.640
it doesn't mean that you can't come
in and just absolutely kill it on

450
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.119
Series three and then be so dominant
to where the coaches are going to give

451
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:53.200
you Series four or five and six. So the Wildcats got some bodies that

452
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.720
they can use. They have depth
on both sides of the ball. But

453
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.640
the defensive newcomers are definitely gonna be
something to watch. But I'm not going

454
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.720
to use Saturday. And this is
with all due respect to ANYU. I

455
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.519
know you know, people, I'm
not I'm going full Ricky Bobby here.

456
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:10.200
When I say with all due respect, I say disrespectful, with all due

457
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.599
respect to an EU. I just
think that you know, Arizona is way

458
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.079
too talented at this point two years
ago. So I really think we're not

459
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:21.319
going to get a good answer on
how good or how different this Arizona team.

460
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:25.119
I think that's gonna be next week
when the Wildcasts go down south and

461
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:29.119
get them some sec country because Mississippi
States not messing around. I think that's

462
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:33.720
gonna be the true test. Yeah, no question. So do they gain

463
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.519
anything? You know, you beat
them fifties whatever to fourteen or thirty eight

464
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.599
to ten. Do they get anything
except that they didn't lose to NAU Again,

465
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:45.640
Yeah, they didn't lose any of
you. They set the tone right,

466
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:49.240
They get a win that they should
get and the PAC twelve is gonna

467
00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:52.160
be so loaded this year? Is
that? You know? I have a

468
00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.119
funny feeling that you know, there's
gonna be some games where we think Arizona

469
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.559
should win and then they're gonna end
up losing. So I think, you

470
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:03.279
know, if you rack up on
the wins now, especially because it gets

471
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.960
hard in the middle part of your
schedule. You know, you've got USC

472
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.799
in Washington, in Oregon State.
It's going to get tough of the Wildcats

473
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:14.160
here in the middle of the season. But if you can beat any you

474
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:18.000
you know, you can figure out
a way to beat Mississippi State. And

475
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.440
I know that's a tall task,
but it's conceivable that it could happen.

476
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:25.160
And then you come back home,
you beat Utah, and you go on

477
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:26.400
the road and you take care of
Stanford on the road. Like we're looking

478
00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:32.160
at realistically, Arizona starting the season
four and now maybe even three to one.

479
00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:37.200
But on Saturday, I really don't
think Arizona is going to gain much.

480
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:41.400
But I think defensively it'll be nice
for them to play one full game

481
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:47.160
together, get a foundation, and
then use that for next week when they

482
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:48.640
got to face a you know,
a bunch of cow bells on the road

483
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:53.640
in Starkville. Something that we don't
ever talk about, and because it's not

484
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.240
the sexiest part of thing, but
you know, special teams, and I'll

485
00:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.000
just tell you a story. So
after the ninety three season when Arizona beat

486
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.759
Miami and the fastball and stuff,
we just talked to Rob Waldrip about that

487
00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:08.519
But the next year, going into
the season, I had a conversation with

488
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:12.759
Dick Tomy and I said, I
said, you know, you expects you

489
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.119
guys to be really, really damn
good because he pretty much got everybody back.

490
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:17.960
And he said, just just like
you would expect, you say it

491
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:22.559
just he goes at the end of
the season, just remember we are going

492
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.720
into this year without a punter.
And it was like a big deal to

493
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:28.440
him, like it was really going
to have an impact on how good or

494
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.680
bad they were going to be because
Josh Miller, who ended up, you

495
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.680
know, as a punter for the
Steelers, you know, he was gone.

496
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:37.480
And he said, just remember when
you watch us play that we don't

497
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:38.920
have a punter. And I'm like, okay, well, you know,

498
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:42.519
I'm you know, I'm like,
what the hell does that mean? But

499
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.920
you know, you know, Arizona
has got two of the best in the

500
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:50.559
country both, you know, as
at punning and place kicking. How big

501
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:54.079
of a deal was that. I
think it's huge, I really do,

502
00:32:54.920 --> 00:33:00.680
because you know, kylosen Door.
They were so many times last season where

503
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:05.319
he would punt or he would tend
a guy inside the twenty yard line.

504
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:09.559
And we also saw in training camp
that. You know, he has really

505
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:14.839
good placement when it comes to punning. And so Kylosendorp, who is,

506
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:20.200
by the way, a future hydro
mechanic or whatever it is. He's an

507
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:25.319
aeronautical engineering major. The kids wickt
smart like he's at whenever he's done with

508
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.079
football, he's gonna end up being
successful whatever he does. But I think

509
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:34.240
him as a punter, he's definitely
got a future there. He was an

510
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:37.480
All packs ball guy a couple of
years ago, and I think he can

511
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:40.440
have another similar type of season this
year now. But with Tyler Loop,

512
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:46.160
I'm really curious though, because he
has yet to make a kick outside of

513
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:52.799
fifty yards however, is ninety percent
I think career wise, and he has

514
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:59.599
yet to miss a PAP. So
the short game is money for Tyler Loop.

515
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:00.960
But you know, there comes a
situation where Arizona needs a leg,

516
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:05.359
what are you gonna do? And
then their backup kicker, Cash Peterman,

517
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.320
which is one of my favorite names
on the team. He the transfer for

518
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:14.039
BYU. Him and Tyler Loop they
really struggled in that first look scrimmage a

519
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.400
couple of weeks ago. I tallied
those kickers going two for six combined for

520
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:22.880
field goals, which ain't really good. So I think kicking wise, that's

521
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.119
something to keep an eye on.
But you know what I think, you

522
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:29.239
know, going back to my whole
point about oh, I haven't seen Tyler

523
00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:31.639
Loop kick anything outside of fifty rs. I think once Arizona gets in that

524
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:36.000
range, that's four down territory for
them. They only want to use Tyler

525
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.719
Loop unless they know or if they
know that it's a guarantee three points and

526
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:43.000
it's really going to help out Arizona. But special teams is going to be

527
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:45.880
a huge factor for Arizona. And
you know another thing that you know,

528
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:49.360
not a lot of people are talking
about is I think Arizona is going to

529
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:52.480
have, you know, some really
good returners this year. I think Jacob

530
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:54.920
Calling as a punt returner. You
know, you look at you know,

531
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:59.119
Michael Wiley at running back. He's
it back there, you know, returning

532
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:04.719
kicks. G seven Jay A Celestine, the guy from from Miami. He

533
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.679
is one of the fastest guys on
the team, and I mean he's so

534
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:10.239
quick when he gets out in the
space, he can do a lot of

535
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:14.920
damage. So I know, we
talked about the offense that was really good

536
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:17.199
last year, in the rebuilding defense. But Arizona is going to be very

537
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:22.320
sound in what Jetfish calls the kicking
in. Okay, So Justin wills to

538

a look back at the Ludolson era in

550
00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:04.880
my new book, Lessons from Loot. It was a labor of love through

551
00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:07.559
the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

552
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.559
to the coach and the man who
led them, competed against them, and

553
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:15.119
inspired them. Twenty five chapters for
his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

554
00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.760
Lessons from Loot is an insight to
how he built the program into a

577
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:06.519
farewell the Goldie, the goldfish as
she journeys to that big pond in the

578
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:10.719
sky. Amen, be still there, Goldie's still there. She didn't flush

579
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:14.760
because Dad didn't use picture rocks,
cooling, heating, and plumbing. This

580
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.440
little pet funeral is going to take
a long time, all right. We

581
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:22.760
therefore command our Goldie once again to
the appropriate template picture rocks, cooling,

582
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:25.599
heating, and plumbing, making sure
all your plumbing is working the way it's

583
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:32.320
supposed to. And so Goldie,
we bid the farewell. The holidays are

630
00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.639
it's a new season. Fab five
Friday picks. You don't sound fired

631
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:49.880
up about this. I'm not too
confident in week one already games already.

632
00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:52.719
Well you're well, you're you're an
NFL guy anyways, right, you always

633
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:55.440
always trying to pick more NFL than
college. I'm laing in the weeds.

634
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.280
That's what I'm doing, Okay,
all right, So for our listeners,

635
00:41:59.320 --> 00:42:00.920
the way this works, Steve and
I will pick five games against the point

636
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:06.280
spread every week. This week it's
all college games, so we do that.

637
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:09.199
But normally we'll take two college,
two pro, and then we each

638
00:42:09.480 --> 00:42:14.000
decide whether our fifth pick is college
or pro. I generally go college.

639
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.440
Ste generally goes Pro. We do
them against the point spreads. These are

640
00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:20.840
Thursday point spreads. That we use, and then we pick a lock,

641
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:25.000
which is a game that of our
five that we think is a lock.

642
00:42:25.519 --> 00:42:30.679
And then there's a special game which
is that LSU Florida State this week that

643
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:35.000
we both have to pick. And
there's added value to that total of six

644
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:39.639
points possible and total of minus one
possible and everything in between. So and

645
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:44.119
we keep standings all season long.
We post this on our social media and

646
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:46.880
we just have fun with them.
We had a little wager going that where

647
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:51.639
this is part of a football pool
that we do, and so the loser

648
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:54.119
has to pay the winner's entry next
year. So Steve's got to come up

649
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:59.280
with my entry for this year.
So and Sid is going to listen closely

650
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.800
and tell us switch pick suck and
which ones don't. I will make sure

651
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:05.639
that all right, Since I am
the champion of the world right now,

652
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.199
I will go first, Steve,
Okay, that's fine, all right.

653
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:14.360
My first game, I'm taking Ohio
State giving thirty to Indiana. I just

654
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.880
don't think Indiana is very good.
This is at Indiana a little. I'm

655
00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:20.920
a little worried that, you know, an opener on the road giving that

656
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:22.960
many points. But I just think
oh State they know they got to make

657
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.880
go out and do some stuff.
They're gonna try and run up the score

658
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.800
as much as they can. And
I want to have State minus the thirty

659
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.360
against Indiana. Yeah, I think. I don't know if that's a good

660
00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:37.360
bet or not because it's too early
to tell, but I think that we're

661
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:39.719
gonna have to pick at least one
or two games where the spreads are high.

662
00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:43.880
Yeah, given you know the first
three games with the games, so

663
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:45.960
I'll go pick mine. I'll pick
my, and I'll go A and M

664
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:50.320
minus thirty eight over New Mexico.
Okay, just on the fact that I

665
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:55.039
think New Mexico is horrible football wise. Yeah. So I thought hard about

666
00:43:55.119 --> 00:44:00.239
that game, but decided to lay
off of that because I thought if a

667
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:02.280
better game, Yeah, all right, so you got Ohio State. I

668
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:08.840
mean, I'm sorry, Ay and
M minus thirty eight against against New Mexico.

669
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:14.000
All right. My second game,
this goes because of what I saw

670
00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:19.199
last week US He's given up thirty
eight points to Nevada, and I think

671
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:21.960
that's just too many because I think
Nevada's going to score. It's funny because

672
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:22.920
I was gonna go the opposite way. I didn't pick the game. I

673
00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:28.119
wanted to pick the game, but
I got off. I'm taking Nevada and

674
00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:30.599
I'm taking Nevada plus the thirty eight. I just think, you know,

675
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:34.960
ye is gonna have a tough time
covering that because they're just gonna give up

676
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:37.760
too many points. And we saw
yet last week that they're gonna do that

677
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:40.960
again this year. So I've gotten
Nevada minus plus the thirty eight against USC.

678
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.320
Okay, you'll find out. But
you're only here once a week.

679
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:50.320
You might get here two a times
a week. That he what happens on

680
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:54.719
the Tuesday. He uses it until
Saturday. So you know, if you're

681
00:44:54.800 --> 00:44:59.159
late on a Monday, said,
he'll say, said, it's gonna be

682
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:02.159
late again. See, it's gonna
be late again. It's not a one

683
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:06.199
off. It's not a one off. It's a continue, it's a double.

684
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.360
You know, girl weinked at me. I think she's in a weekend

685
00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:16.519
me again, Jay, she has
something in her eye. Can we move

686
00:45:16.559 --> 00:45:22.760
on? We're running out of time
here. Let's go second one Nevada Nevada

687
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:27.440
plus thirty eight against USC. Okay, I'm gonna go with the Washington minus

688
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:31.000
fourteen over Moist State. Okay,
your your favorite to win the league.

689
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:34.679
Yes, I'm taking them right away. Yeah, and you know what,

690
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:38.400
I'm taking them too. So that's
my third pick, Washington against Boise State.

691
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:42.880
And in fact, you're gonna hate
this. I'm lucky. Yeah.

692
00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:45.559
Yeah. I just looked at that
and I said, okay, okay,

693
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:47.920
that's cool. Yeah, I like
it. I yeah, I mean,

694
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:52.559
well again, Washington is gonna try
to be impressive, so I'm going with

695
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:54.400
that as well. So that's my
third pick. Okay, So I'm gonna

696
00:45:54.480 --> 00:46:00.920
go with Washington State minus eleven and
I'm gonna I'm gonna lock that one.

697
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:07.119
Okay. And who are they're playing? You don't know, God, you

698
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:09.480
got Oh they're at Colorado State.
Yeah, okay, that Colorado State minus

699
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:13.480
eleven. Yeah, all right,
that's interesting, and you're gonna lock that.

700
00:46:14.480 --> 00:46:19.639
I didn't want to lock Washington because
you like Washington. I do like

701
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:22.800
Washington, all right. A game
that a game that's been talked about a

702
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:28.079
bunch. I you know again,
I I gotta get my day started.

703
00:46:28.079 --> 00:46:30.400
I want to pick one of the
nine o'clock games, you know. I

704
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:32.280
want to have some juice early,
right, I want to meet in my

705
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:37.639
you know, treso and eggs and
uh or maybe some botha doughnuts or something

706
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.880
like that. But I got I
gotta have some action early in the day.

707
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:44.639
And this is a game that's been
talked about a lot. I'm gonna

708
00:46:44.679 --> 00:46:47.840
take TCU. I'm gonna give up
the twenty and a half to Colorado.

709
00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:52.639
I think Colorado maybe better than some
people think. But this is a first

710
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:58.159
game. It's the first power of
five game for a lot of these guys.

711
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:01.519
You know, everybody's by Colorado.
Nobody's talking about TCU. They were

712
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:06.559
in the National Championship Game last year. Sonny Dikes is a KG coach.

713
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.679
Uh. And while Dean Sanders thinks
a lot of himself, uh, Sonny

714
00:47:10.760 --> 00:47:15.119
Dikes is a really damn good coach. And I just think they've got uh,

715
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:20.239
they're set up to just really,
uh take care of business with Colorado.

716
00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:22.400
So first one of the first games
that comes on tomorrow, I'm taking

717
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:30.199
TCU minus the twenty and a half
against Colorado. Okay, that's a that's

718
00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:32.639
a that's gonna be an interesting pick. I'm not sure. I didn't know

719
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.039
much about Colorado. Nobody does,
so we'll see what happy well nobody does.

720
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:39.480
But I you know, first game, the first game is tough enough,

721
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:43.400
but this is a first game for
a for a program that's you know,

722
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.480
a coach that's never coached at this
level. So let me ask you

723
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:50.079
too, because he does this a
lot too, said, is this all

724
00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:52.679
Jaggins? All this his picks?
Or is this somebody else's picks? These

725
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:58.119
are my picks? Well, Stanford
Stephen the Bear are no more so,

726
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.039
but you get you still searching?
Yeah, you know these are my picks.

727
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:06.320
So this will be all year.
Not necessarily. I was busy this

728
00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:08.679
week. I didn't have time to
let's do a lot of stuff. But

729
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:14.000
but Stanford Steve still picks, doesn't
he still he's gonna be on game Day

730
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:15.960
now. But he doesn't have a
podcast, so you okay, so you

731
00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:20.599
will see Stanford Steve and the Bear
would put out a podcast on Thursday.

732
00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.159
I'm I am. I am going
solo. I like my chants, like

733
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:32.760
I was competed against those guys I
was about. Am I wrong? No,

734
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:36.840
you're not wrong, You're not wrong, But but you know I can

735
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:38.840
do this. No, No,
I like my chests. I know how

736
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:44.719
I've been picking games for a long
time. So I'm gonna go with Texas

737
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:47.480
Tech. When I was fourteen over
Wyoming. Okay, we know a couple

738
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:51.199
of guys. I'll go into Larimie. They're gonna watch a game out there,

739
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:55.559
Lary, you know, yeah,
yeah yeah. So all right,

740
00:48:55.719 --> 00:49:00.639
so Texas Tech. I like that
game. I was see lucky that one

741
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:02.400
too, But now I'm gonna go
with Washington State. All right, okay,

742
00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:06.079
so all right, that's an interesting
one, kind of I would say

743
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:07.559
off the radar game. Well,
it is a little bit, I guess,

744
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:10.360
right, but okay, very good, all right, it gives me

745
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:14.480
something to wi. Look. One
things I love about this is that there's

746
00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:15.719
all kinds of games for me to
keep an eye on too. You know,

747
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:19.559
have you have you done any have
you set up anything for tomorrow with

748
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.000
DraftKings? Have you done? No? No, because I don't know.

749
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:24.400
I just don't know. Yeah,
all right, all right, now we

750
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:29.199
both got to pick u alaee Florida
State. That's really the big game of

751
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:32.800
the week across the board, a
couple of highly ranked teams. Both teams

752
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:37.000
think they got a shot at the
national championship. This is a neutral site

753
00:49:37.039 --> 00:49:44.360
game. It's in Orlando, so
it's it's more Florida State territory than LSU.

754
00:49:44.440 --> 00:49:45.760
But Alice, you fan, they
don't care where a game is they

755
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:50.079
go. I remember when they came
here back in the Macavic years, and

756
00:49:50.400 --> 00:49:52.000
there are a whole bunch of them
here. We had fun with them.

757
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:54.559
They sat across the ale from us. I think they felt sorry for us,

758
00:49:54.760 --> 00:50:00.440
because I was those teams were really
terrible. Anyways, it's the line

759
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:06.920
is LSU minus two and a half? I am taking LSU. I just

760
00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:10.159
think that they're I just think they're
better. I think Florida State is getting

761
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:14.679
over hyped. Uh. You know, they were good one year after a

762
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:19.239
lot of bad years last year,
and uh, I feel like LSU,

763
00:50:19.480 --> 00:50:22.840
you know again, they want to
get into that, into the playoff,

764
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.880
and they think they can do that, and I just think that they're gonna

765
00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:30.079
They're gonna handle business over and over
in Orlando. So what do you think.

766
00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:36.840
I'm gonna use some of that logic
and go with LSU as well minus

767
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:38.360
two and a half, which is
perfect because it's a field goal field though,

768
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:43.480
who wins the game within the game, right, So LSU two I

769
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:46.000
like to for some of the reasons, you believe Florida State LSU, we

770
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:49.920
know is going to be good Florida
State. We don't know what if they're

771
00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:53.159
gonna be doing. Yeah, but
you know Javier or trusty Javier. I

772
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:57.840
know he's joking because this is how
he jokes. I'm thinking about basing my

773
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:01.119
college football bets this weekend on the
picks of the everybody Stephen Jay right now

774
00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:07.199
and taking the opposite. We do
not advise that we don't. We don't.

775
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.480
We really don't, and we specific
we specifically can't in relation to our

776
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:15.719
our draft kings thing. But no, we don't. But stay safe,

777
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:19.840
have you stay away from these picks? Have one eight hundred, Next step,

780
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:28.239

you think I do like them? I

781
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:31.000
was really splay on the LSU game, but given the fact that I do

782
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:34.800
have Florida State in my colle football
playoff, I kind of have to pick

783
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:38.039
him the really before the season starts. I'll just review my picks for the

784

Washington. I tell you, the

786
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:55.800
mouth of babies doesn't mean it's right. We had we had Jason giving you

787
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:59.119
a bunch of advice, and that
didn't work. I didn't work either.

788
00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:00.920
I know, I know, I
know, I know, all right,
