Delora and Trade Trade and Stukes will be

you can watch that. You can start

17
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.640
picking up on Pactweb Network. UM. UH. George Clioff Cooff starts off

18
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:18.200
the day and his highly anticipated remarks
will be coming up. And so we'll

19
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.519
be talking some Packtwell Media Day with
UH, with UH, with with Yogi

20
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.480
and then UH. In the first
hour. Carrington Thompson, wide receiver for

21
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:27.959
the Sugar Skulls, who's he's been
on our show before. He's a lot

22
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.840
of fun. He's a really great
guy. UH. He's gonna come on

23
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.359
and just talk about they got a
playoff game. They're here in the San

24
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.599
Jose for a playoff game on and
they play on Sunday at three o'clock tuson

25
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.840
time. That'll be the last of
the four playoff games this week. And

26
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.680
for the IFL the other three rds. So are they you're done? If

27
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.159
they win, you're done? Well, yes, you know, if if

28
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.359
the IF both lower seeds win in
this first round. So you got the

29
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.319
Rattlers playing Northern Arizona, UM,
and then you got the Sugar Skulls playing

30
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.079
Bay Area. If Northern Arizona,
who is the defending chap they do something

31
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.080
kind of ridiculous and beat the Rattlers, and then if the Sugar Skulls win,

32
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.680
then the Sugar Sculls will host because
they'll be the higher seed. The

33
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:15.759
Sugar Sculls are the three seed,
Northern Arizona is the four seed. Unlikely

34
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:22.800
but mathematically possible. But they're at
San Jose three o'clock Sunday. You can

35
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.159
watch that on YouTube. You'll catch
the uh, the Bay Area announcing team,

36
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.719
and then we'll see what happens.
And uh, you know, the

37
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.319
Sugar Sculls beat They beat Bay Area
up at their place earlier in the year,

38
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.159
so yeah, anything can happened.
And they play well on the road,

39
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.199
or they have at least they have
been there. They win six and

40
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:45.560
one on the road this year,
just kind of ridiculous, so they're certainly

41
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.919
walking in with some confidence that they
can win that game. Yeah, okay,

42
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.479
we'll see what happens when we talk
to all these guys later in the

43
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.719
afternoon or later today, were already
year in the afternoon. M okay,

44
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.360
um, what else is going on? Else? Well, the pack twelve

45
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:01.120
pole came out. Yes, I
don't know if we're want to wait,

46
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.639
so Jason, sorry, it's all
good. We're taking a Jason. Um.

47
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.800
The media poll came out and it
came out like you would have thought

48
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.520
it would have come out. USC
was, uh was it was picked to

49
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.159
win the league by by a healthy
margin. Um. They're thirty six h

50
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.159
thirty six voters. Twenty five of
them voted to USC first. Not surprising.

51
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.400
You got the Heisman trophy can Um
quarterback back. Um, USC should

52
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:34.280
be the favorite. The thing is
that I still think that Washington wins this

53
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:39.639
thing. Um. Where are they? They came seconds? Uh the vote

54
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:45.360
the vote total was not closed.
Uh what USC was got twenty five first

55
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.080
place votes, a total of four
hundred and thirteen points. Washington got four

56
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.080
first place votes three hundred and sixty
seven points. Utah got third. Actually

57
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.240
got more first place votes, they
got six, but they got three hundred

58
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.639
and fifty nine points, so they
were eight points behind Washington. And then,

59
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.000
as you would expect, Oregon and
they got one first place. Yeah,

60
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:08.680
so in Washington state seven number seven. Uh, not a shock,

61
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.879
but but that's gonna be the key
game, one of the key games.

62
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.400
We said, yeah, and you
and I you know when when we talked

63
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.360
about it yesterday. We both thought
that Arizona come out about eighth, and

64
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.680
that's where they that's where they came. H You've got after Oregon at four,

65
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.639
You've got Oregon State five, you
see LA six, Washington State seven,

66
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.680
Arizona eight, Cal nine, ACU
ten, Colorado eleven in Stamford.

67
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.759
I think the final four, final
four in this poll are pretty accurate.

68
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.120
And I don't it doesn't matter how
they fall, but those four, because

69
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.639
it's a it's a big drop from
Arizona to them. Yeah, so Arizona

70
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.079
eighth best and everyone's saying they could
win six, seven, eight games.

71
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.839
You know, some people, good
luck with that, knowing how tough the

72
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.920
league is gonna be. This is
This is probably about the way I would

73
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.240
I if I was voting, and
they haven't asked me to vote, but

74
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.199
if I was voting, I probably
would Bush in USC and I think the

75
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.600
rest of it would have been the
same. Maybe maybe put U c l

76
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.920
A over Oregon State, but I'm
not not one hundred percent sure of that,

77
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.480
but seven to seven to twelve is
exactly what I would have done.

78
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.519
The first four I think everybody agrees
those are the first four and whatever word

79
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.360
you want to put him in.
And then the middle three Oregon State,

80
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:24.680
us c LA in Washington State.
So it looks about It looks about right

81
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.519
to me. Yeah, we'll see
what happens. So funny thing about it

82
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.959
is this poll is pretty much contingent
on the quarterback. It is it is,

83
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.199
and and you know how they and
how they ran them, right,

84
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.120
I mean, wait when you look
at Arizona and look, I don't know

85
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.240
how good Jane Delora is going to
be, right, but you know,

86
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.920
if you let's let's let's project Jane
Delora out to do what he's capable of

87
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:56.399
doing. Okay, as good a
quarterback as he should be, there probably

88
00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:01.079
haven't been a whole lot of better
quarterbacks than that at Arizona ever. Right,

89
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.680
Nick Foles was really good, Matt
Scott had a really good year.

90
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.319
But they were a six and sixt
team. They got into or seventy five

91
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.680
team, they got into a bowl
game. Andrew Solomon had arguably the best

92
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.120
single season of any quarterback ever.
You know, just be you know that

93
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.079
team went, you know, went
to a Fiesta Bowl. You know,

94
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.480
you can say Danny White, but
you know the you know, those those

95
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:30.199
teams in the early nineties. Then
they ran the hell out of the ball

96
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.000
um. You know, Ortiz Jenkins
and and and Keith Smith split it.

97
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:40.240
You know. So if Jaden and
the point I'm making is Jade Delord is

98
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.879
that good. Where he's mentioned among
those years that quarterbacks had and yet Arizona's

99
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.759
picked a finish shape, that's how
good this league is. That he could

100
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.279
be that good and they could still
be the eighth place team in the league,

101
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:55.800
which is a crazy, crazy number. Okay, so they picked any

102
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.160
This is a dumb question on both
of you. Would you bet him to

103
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.879
finish eighth or higher? I've been
a finished higher. Yeah, I think

104
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:11.879
higher, as high as six?
Yeah, I think I think high is

105
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.800
probably six and low is probably eight. I think I think I think the

106
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:19.160
ceiling is six. I think they
can finish ninth. You know, because

107
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:23.360
we don't know what Cal's got.
AC is a little bit of a mystery.

108
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.920
I think Colorado and Stamford are gonna
be bad. See I don't as

109
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.000
much as we kind of poop poo
on Colorado and for obvious reasons, they're

110
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.120
gonna be better. They could be
better, But then you know, if

111
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.839
you're better than one in eleven.
You're still really bad, right, No,

112
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:40.759
Hey, but you apply goes that
same thinging with Arizona last year and

113
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.480
they want some games and they want
some games, and no, Dion,

114
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.600
we don't know how good of a
coach he is, although he's shown the

115
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.439
cam coach and with better talent coming
in coaching him up during an X Factor,

116
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.959
would I bet him know? But
you don't know they're there, You

117
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.480
don't know, you don't know.
I agree with you, you don't.

118
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.480
I just don't see Arizona finish eleven. No, no, god, no,

119
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.959
okay, no, no, no. I think eighth eighth is accurate

120
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.839
and I think they'll finish um though. This is the thing if you don't

121
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.920
know already, Jason, Yeah,
Arizona historically and Jay will attest to this,

122
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.040
wins games that shouldn't and lose those
games that shouldn't. Yeah, that's

123
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.319
that's a definite. Yeah. At
the given that the given we've talked about

124
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.079
all this week, we've tried to
figure out which is the one that that's

125
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.279
going to happen or two where they
pull something off and then the next week

126
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.120
theay lay an egg. Right,
yeah, yeah, no, you feel

127
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:37.120
expect I mean, look, there's
going into that UCLA game last year.

128
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:39.840
There was no way that I thought
it was you know, you said it

129
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.960
was ranked. I think they were
like thirteenth or twelfth or something like.

130
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.759
Yeah, I think twelve. Yeah, it didn't even enter my mind that

131
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.519
Arizona would go win that game.
Yeah, I'll sudden it up. I

132
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.360
think you're fourteen to nothing. You're
like, wait a minute, you know,

133
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:56.480
and then it because it's just been
so long since Arizona has been a

134
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.240
team that could do that, right, right, because they just they did

135
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.279
it all the time. They did
it all the time. They did it

136
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.320
under Stoops, they did it under
rich Rod. You know, they obviously

137
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.879
didn't undertow me. They did under
Larry Smith. They were always doing that.

138
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.519
They are beating somebody like that every
year. But it's been so long

139
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.559
since they were capable of doing that. There was no thought in my mind

140
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.480
that they were going to do that
last year. Then they did because yeah,

141
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.360
because you're you're not expecting it.
But then but then we're back to

142
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.080
we're back to Okay, if they
can do that, they can also do

143
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.600
the office. Yeah. Sure,
sure they're gonna lose one. They shouldn't

144
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:35.039
lose, you know, but it's
just your definition of which games should and

145
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.519
shouldn't they lose. Right, And
this is another theory, Jason's because we're

146
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.639
just gonna use some history back in
the day thirty years ago, probably now,

147
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.559
a former UA football coach told us. J told Jay, it's the

148
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:54.279
reason why you don't bet money on
kids who are nineteen years old, because

149
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.840
you never know which kid's gonna show
up. Very very true. They don't

150
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.480
know if they have girlfriend, probably
them's academic problem. You don't know any

151
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.360
of that, right, it's always
or today, if you're you're having a

152
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:13.759
video game problem, I elbody didn't
show that alb problem. Yeah, week

153
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.159
to week and never know. No, you're right, I mean that was

154
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.440
that was probably one of the biggest
pieces of advice that I've never heated.

155
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.879
I've just never followed. You just
said, you guys are crazy for being

156
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.200
on eighteen to twenty two. How
you actually do that? Dick said that,

157
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.840
Yeah, he said that to me. I think it was one of

158
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:41.480
those times I said we need to
cover right. Yeah, I don't understand

159
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.039
anybody who bets on eighteen to twenty
two year old kids. Yeah, I

160
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.120
mean, you never know what's going
on. You guys are crazy. If

161
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.759
there's anything I've learned, that's the
thing. You don't know because it's so

162
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.960
emotional. It's an emotional game,
yeah, especially at that and the problem

163
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.159
is not so much to go and
play in college. Who knows what's gonna

164
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:03.679
happen. Yeah, definitely, you
know, and then then it happens and

165
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.039
you say, how did that happen? Yeah, you're like, what the

166
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.399
hell? Yeah? What the hell? Yea extra good storylines? It's fine,

167
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.360
but you know what, look win
or lose, it's fun, right,

168
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:22.879
Yes, No, depends depends depends
on what side you're on. I

169
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.600
mean I felt I felt worse about
teams that about games that I didn't have

170
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:33.080
money on the games that I lost
and did have money one hundred next step

171
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.120
baby step Yeah, okay, okay, oh anything else before we have three

172
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.720
minutes here before we know just again
we're talking to who we're talking to?

173
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.840
First? Were first? Um,
you know, he's been one of the

174
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.799
leading receivers in the in the league. I think he went into last week,

175
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.039
I think second in the league in
touchdow I look up his stats.

176
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.919
He's a fun guy. Actually want
invited to come into studio, but they've

177
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.200
got business to take care of,
and I think they leave for they probably

178
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.679
have when more practice than they flapped
to San Jose on Saturday. On Saturday,

179
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:09.559
they're playing that that arena where they
had the West Regional and that SAP

180
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.360
Arena, and they play a huge
arena. Yeah, but I think get

181
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.320
a pretty decent following. So there'll
be there'll be five, six, seven

182
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.240
thousand people at this playoff game on
Sunday, which would be a big deal.

183
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.720
It'd be fun for them to play
in that in that atmosphere. But

184
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.039
you know, good for the Sugar
Scalls. You know, this is three

185
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.159
three out of four years that they
four years in existence, that they've been

186
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.679
in the playoffs. Yeah, which
pretty damn good. You know, they're

187
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.240
just kinda kind of break through.
Yeah, breakthrough win a game. Uh,

188
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.639
you know, go take your shot
at the Rattlers if that's who you

189
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.879
end up facing. They beat him, right, didn't They beat him earlier

190
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.440
this year and Kevin Guy survived,
so he's fine. Yeah. I even

191
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:52.519
saw him a couple of times.
Talk to him. You know, he

192
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.720
seems all right. Yeah, I
you know, he's They had some injury

193
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.159
problems and their quarterback was hurt for
a little and stuff like that. I

194
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.000
think they've won eight in a row
now, so they're on a roll.

195
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.720
They're gonna be hard to be um, but uh, you know, they're

196
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.399
certainly the favorite in the in the
West, which is, you know,

197
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.919
the division with the with the Sugar
Skulls. But I think that you know

198
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.000
anything, when you're looking at the
Sugar Sculls, they've they've beaten all three

199
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.240
teams that are in the playoffs with
that or in Arizona, Arizona and Bay

200
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.000
Area, they've beaten all three of
them. On the roads here you can

201
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.679
never live without hope, yea,
and here we are might be there right

202
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.399
exactly. So all right, let's
go and take our break. Um Carrington

203
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.559
Thompson, wide receiver for the for
the Sugar Skulls. Alit one of the

204
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.759

guy, a lot of fun, great

205
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.080
sense of humor. We'll have him
on and we'll talk about this game coming

call from Carrington Thompson of these Sugar
Skulls, let's say, finish out their

273
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.839
year in the playoffs, which is
a good thing. Yeah. Yeah,

274
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.519
we're just three or four in the
playoffs, three of the last four three

275
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:07.119
of the last four years. Uh
um, you know, three or four

276
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.559
years in the league. So they
were the they were the first new franchise

277
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.920
for the first expansion franchise to make
back when they did it in the first

278
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.200
year, and then they then they
didn't make it the second year, and

279
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.839
then they made it last year,
lost in the first round both times.

280
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.920
So they're in for the third time
and hoping to get hoping to get a

win. So uh, and I'm
still waiting for Carrington to give us a

282

out of four that you're in the playoffs.

298
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.000
Carrington, you were on the team
last year, got to the playoffs.

299
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.400
What's the what's the approach this year
that you know? Is there has

300
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.039
there been you know with the guys
who were back this year that we're on

301
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.319
it last year. Is there any
benefit to the fact that you guys have

302
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:45.000
experienced that? What are you guys
talking about as far as that goes,

303
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.000
Um, we really haven't talked about
last year with or anything like that.

304
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.160
We've just been focusing on this year
and pretty much just focusing on our details

305
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:57.279
and everything like that, because it
really don't matter about experience. But if

306
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:02.079
you don't, if you don't pay
attention to the little details and doing your

307
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.240
job and your job only anything can
happen. The game can go anyway.

308
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:08.599
So we just haven't focused on that
this year. With that and I mean

309
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.559
the experience and the best that we
have on our team that it does help,

310
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.400
but our main focus is just paytage
in the details and doing everything we

311
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.240
can do with our job. So, Um, you've been on the team

312
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.119
for a while now, right,
a couple of three years, years,

313
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:29.400
a couple of years. Does this
team look different than the last years from

314
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:34.640
the playoff situation. Um, I
wouldn't say this team is any different.

315
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:40.400
I would say our mindset is different
from last year. We are more of

316
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.519
a team oriented team for real.
We do a lot of things outside of

317
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.880
football this year, and I can
tell that we were more kind of more

318
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.680
of a bond this year as a
team than we did last year. Interesting.

319
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.559
So, UM, you know we
I was telling Steve when we were

320
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.119
talking about the fact that you've been
one of the top receivers of the league

321
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.160
all year, very durable. You've
been in all fifteen games. We even

322
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:06.200
see you out there making tackles on
special teams and that kind of thing.

323
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.039
You know, being a receiver in
the endoor football league. You know,

324
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.440
you're not just not the catching passes. You gotta do a whole lot of

325
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.119
stuff. Tell us a little bit
about, you know, just kind of

326
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.799
what it takes and the mentality you
have to have to play in this league

327
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.359
when you you know, you suit
up twenty one guys you know on a

328
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:25.440
given day, and all the other
things you got to do besides catch passes

329
00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:30.400
and score touchdowns. It's we have
a lot to do. Um, It's

330
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:36.559
not as much has been like a
load. I mean, I really would

331
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:38.519
say pretty much. Being a receiver
in this league or any league, it's

332
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:42.519
just so with the will to want
to do it. Um I do everything

333
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:48.359
I do with special teams and playing
offense because I want to sell the younger

334
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:49.599
guys. I mean, a lot
of people come in this league looking to

335
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:52.359
get to the next level. And
when you go to the next level,

336
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:56.200
it's not you're coming in as a
starting receiver. You're gonna be coming as

337
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:00.880
a role player. You're gonna be
coming in playing special teams. So if

338
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.440
you get that aspect of wanting to
place press teams and wanting to go down

339
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:07.200
to make a tackle, you can
make any team at the next level.

340
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.759
But it's the willing and the want
to do it. We had coach on

341
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:17.480
um Well back maybe two three four
days ago. How is it practicing getting

342
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:23.559
ready for this in this heat?
It's pretty high man. We kind of

343
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.880
kind of I'm sorry, monitor the
amount of time that we outside for practice

344
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.200
and everything like that. But we're
just taking care of bodies, making sure

345
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:37.279
we're doing everything to be able to
practice in the team. We know our

346
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.000
environment, we knew what we was
getting ourselves into. Coming down here.

347
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.119
So it's just pretty much just doing
everything we can do to take care of

348
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.720
that so we are able to practice
out in that heat. And it's a

349
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.519
lot of people think that the heat
is a bad thing, but it's just

350
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:53.279
with the league we're playing, we're
playing indoor. It's actually a good thing

351
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:56.480
to be practice the outside of that
heat because it gets you in conditioned way

352
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:03.160
more especially going into and it's endurable. So, uh we we've talked a

353
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:08.200
lot this year about you know,
Ramon Atkins at quarterback, a new guy

354
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.960
for coach for coach Chen, learning
a new system. It seemed like it

355
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.000
took him a while to sort of
get acclimated to what was expected of him

356
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.599
offensively. What tell us a little
bit about what you've seen him and how

357
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:26.440
you've seen him progress from day one
to where he is today, where you

358
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.359
know he hasn't had a turnover or
he hasn't had an interception. I think

359
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.240
it's it was his eighth game now
without an interception after throwing eleven in the

360
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.400
first half of the season. Just
tell us about maybe the connection you've developed

361
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.119
with him and just what you've seen
him do over these last several games.

362
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.160
Well, I think that's pretty much
what it is. It is not our

363
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.039
connection. Actually, it's pretty much
him trusting the offense and trusting coach Chen

364
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:55.440
and our other receivers that we had
um everybody know beginner to season first of

365
00:24:55.480 --> 00:25:00.960
my virgin virtue, but sow with
Chen going out to the grab weapons to

366
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.720
be able to help us be a
complete offense. Yeah, I think just

367
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.000
him trusting other guys and trusting the
offense is really playing a big part.

368
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:15.079
And every week we always are in
our even with him me the running back,

369
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.519
anybody on our offense, we always
are harped on uh taking control,

370
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:25.920
I mean keeping uh. And I
think that's what the biggest impact is helping

371
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.000
him out and turning that around with
it turnovers and everything. It's just focusing

372
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.359
on protecting the ball and taking what
the details gives us. Turn to explained

373
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.200
this to me, Jay tells me, it's a very strange year or audi

374
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.079
year. You win a lot of
games in the road and couldn't do it

375
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.960
at home. Thank thankfully you're on
the road this weekend. Yeah. Yeah,

376
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.440
I don't. I don't know what
what it was with us this year

377
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:55.440
with our home games and everything like
that, but I'm very confident of us

378
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:59.279
going on the road. I guess
we're just a team that like to upset

379
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.720
people at their home. But um, it's gonna be a good one that

380
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:07.880
that Bay Area came over there.
I'm sure they're studying us pretty well.

381
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.079
And it's always gonna be a great
bad especially with the history between the coaching

382
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:17.279
staff to hurt his chin and Dixie
and everything. So it's gonna be a

383
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:21.559
great fight and I'm sure it's gonna
go down pretty to the wire and nobody's

384
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.960
on both sides gonna give up.
But as far as the only thing we

385
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.160
can do, pretty much though it's
taking control of work, we can take

386
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:33.880
control love and like I said,
doing doing everything to the details. Um,

387
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.839
looking at your stats, like I
said, he played in all fifteen

388
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.039
games, seventy eight catches, twenty
one touchdowns. I mean, whether you

389
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.160
want to admit it or not,
you're your romanes guy. You're his go

390
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:48.079
to guy. What's that been like
for you to kind of be in that

391
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.359
role where you're sort of the guy
that you know he appears to be leaning

392
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:53.680
on. You know when he needs
a guy to make a catch. You

393
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.359
know you got Mike Jones who does
what he does, but then you know

394
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.920
Carrington Thompson is the receiving piece of
that. Tell us a little bit about

395
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.839
how that, how that's been for
you this year. Um, it's been

396
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:11.160
unbelievable, especially with them my last
year playing in our football. But any

397
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:17.000
receiver would love to have that title
of the go to receiver. UM,

398
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:21.039
I'm just able to be able to
put our team in spots to be able

399
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:25.039
to win the game. Uh,
just giving back to this game, It's

400
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:29.039
It's been other teams I've been to
go to, but this year it kind

401
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.319
of been a little bit more special
because everybody says, yeah, you once

402
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.799
it gets to the end, it
hits a little bit different. And I

403
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:42.119
think that's that's pretty much what been
so best about this year is just to

404
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.160
out turnout of this season that happened
for me, especially with it being my

405
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:51.079
last year, just putting it all
out there and showing everybody that if you

406
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.319
want to win, especially being a
receiver in this league, you guys that

407
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.640
go one hundred and ten. So
so WAYMNTE, did you just announce your

408
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:03.279
retirement to us? I think I
retire. I not say I do not

409
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:06.680
say earlier in the season. I
think before our last home game. Uh,

410
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.400
but yeah, everybody knows it's going
to be my last season. So

411
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:14.319
what's the real world gonna happen for
you? What's gonna happen, Um,

412
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:18.359
So it's going to be a father
man, going to go get a career

413
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.599
job, be a father, being
around my kids, and just getting getting

414
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.920
that time back that I kind of
lost with having to travel and uh do

415
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.400
every team but this game. So
it's it has it been rewarding for you

416
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.279
though? I mean you know you
play your your professional football player, right,

417
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.440
I mean that's something that a lot
of guys don't get to do.

418
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:42.599
Yeah, It's it's definitely rewarding for
with it being the last one. I

419
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.880
tell my team every day, um
that I'm so grateful for the season that

420
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:49.920
they gave me, with it being
my last one, the memories they gave

421
00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.359
me, um, And I'm just
happy to be able to give back to

422
00:28:53.680 --> 00:29:00.000
our rookies or our players that's two
years or a year in this league.

423
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:02.960
I'm just able. I'm just happy
to be able to get back to that

424
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:06.759
receiver room and see what they can
do next year. When I'm watching the

425
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:08.400
game, well, you've definitely had
some memories, right because you played in

426
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:12.160
the Cotton Bolt right at Western Michigan. Uh, that had to be cool,

427
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:17.839
right, Yeah, that was pretty
That was pretty cool. It was.

428
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.240
It was a great run a lot
of people. I tell uh when

429
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.359
I was younger, it was it
was the next level buzz. But just

430
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.640
the game that I played, everywhere
I went with this game took me to

431
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.640
a lot of places I never thought
i'd go. So I'm just satisfied with

432
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.720
all that and happy that I was
able to play the game and go see

433
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.920
the world as I did it.
So now you can have to go out

434
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:42.599
and style with a championship. So
so so so you're how old are you?

435
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:49.119
But so, what would the twenty
nine year old Carrington tell the twelve

436
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.279
year old Carrington looking back? What
would you? What would go? Advice

437
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:57.519
would you give it? Uh?
You kept pushing. Uh, I'll never

438
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:03.200
give up, never listen to the
outside world. And whatever path that you

439
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.759
wanted to go, you want to
go down, is the path that you

440
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:10.839
you go down. They'll never let
nobody control your life. They'll never let

441
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:17.519
nobody say that the path that the
best pappen. Just continue to show the

442
00:30:17.559 --> 00:30:21.640
world that you can do things the
way, no matter what level That your

443
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:26.480
own all right, Well, Carrington
had some sage advice right there. Uh,

444
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.839

you know it's been successful for newly
forty years. Now take a look back

468
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.240
at the Ludolson era in my new
book, Lessons from Loot. It was

469
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:52.200
a labor of love through the eyes
of twenty five former players, coaches,

470
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:56.599
and friends to give insight to the
coach and the man who led them,

471
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.680
competed against them, and inspired them
twenty five chapters for his twenty five years

472
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.960
as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from
Loot is an insight to how he built

473
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:09.279
the program into a national powerhouse.

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:20.400
with with Karrington Thompson because, um, you know a lot of people ask

516
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.440
and you've asked before too. You
know, these guys that are playing in

00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:27.239
you know, in this league,
you know why do they play? Yeah?

of these guys got to get you
know, they don't feel that they're done.

520
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.360
Um, it's almost like they got
to get something out of their system

521
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.199
or something right right in fact,
to move on. In fact, we've

522
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:44.840
had this before. We'll probably do
this next week. You're not gonna be

523

here tomorrow, so do this next
week. The two sons sorrows are playing

league. Um, and this is the

525
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.559
lowest of the pros or whatever you
want to call them. Uh, dudes

526
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:59.880
are just playing baseball, trying to
live their dream with a slim chance,

527
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.679
you know, getting But they're doing
something I wish I could do. Yeah,

528
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:06.719
not in one hundred and ten degree
with other but well, nobody see

529
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:10.519
playing baseball. And I would bet
one hundred and one that you would want

530
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:13.639
to do it, Oh, one
hundred percent. I would have kept playing

531
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.679
if I'd had a chance. Look, you know all the sugar skulls,

532
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.480
Kuarington, Thompson, all of them. They can say I was a professional

533
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.559
football player, right, say what
you want. And while you were in

534
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:24.480
your football league, you weren't in
the NFL. Well you know how many

535
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.199
guys do get to the NFL.
Right, but um, you know they're

536
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:30.559
a professional football player. They got
paid to play football, as he said,

537
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.440
they got he got to go places
and he might not have right,

538
00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:36.960
not have gone. Yeah, right, he's heading up to sand Josey,

539
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.880
did you cut some stuff from yesterday's
press press conference with Well, Well,

540
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:46.480
he talked about it, tell me
talked about him not this is his first

541
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:50.239
chance to get out of the country
to when they're going to Israel. Uh,

542
00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:53.000
he's excited about that. He'd never
left the continental United States outside of

543
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:58.360
well, Hawaii of course, but
um um, he's exciting about it.

544
00:36:58.079 --> 00:37:01.199
And sports gives an opportunity. It
does to people who to people like me

545
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:05.559
and Tel Right, I wouldn't I
wouldn't have gone to Europe or whatever,

546
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.159
to Germany to do all these things
were professionally you leave in the country.

547
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:15.000
I'm a traveling around the country.
I last Steve No, you know we

548
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:19.960
lived to earthquakes, right, you
know you have Anthqua. Yeah, we

549
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.360
had an earthquake while I was there
and everybody I still remember everybody come running

550
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:28.400
out the stud wells. We were
outside in the high in the snow.

551
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:30.920
It was crazy. So, you
know, but you're right, And that's

552
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:35.599
one of the cool things about you
know, the opportunity you get from from

553
00:37:35.679 --> 00:37:37.880
sports. What I have traveled like
that, as a regular news reported.

554
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.840
No, because I was covering local
news, right, So, you know,

555
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:44.360
I got to go to you know, the various places I got to

556
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:46.039
go to, and it was all
it was all very cool. So and

557
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:51.280
that's you know, And so when
you have an appreciation for that, UM,

558
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.800
it sort of makes walking away probably
a little bit easier. Sure,

559
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:59.039
you know. Sure in the first
year that the Sugar Skulls had a linebacker's

560
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:01.159
name was Zach Allen. Um.
I know there's Zach Allen in the NFL.

561
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:05.039
It's not the same Zach Allen.
UM. And he was like an

562
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:08.320
all All League guy. I've been
playing at the barn Stormers with uh,

563
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.360
with Dixie Wooton and those guys over
there. He was here. He was

564
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:15.159
the best player on the team that
first year. Um. And then I

565
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:19.599
remember at the end of the season, Um, you know, the season

566
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.800
was over and I'm in the office
and guys are coming in and they're turning

567
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:28.039
in their stuff and whatnot, and
um, and I just on a whim.

568
00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.039
I don't know, I guess I
just said, I said, what

569
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:32.639
now, Zach? What meaning you
know what's next? What? What are

570
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:36.400
you gonna do this? The rest
of the summer right, and he was

571
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:37.559
and he was like, that's it
for me. And I'm like what he

572
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.440
Because that's it for me. I'm
done, I said, you're that's it.

573
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:43.519
You're didn't play football? Go But
yeah, because because man, I

574
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.880
got I got kids, I gotta
go do stuff. I gotta get and

575
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:49.400
and and because they don't make a
lot of money here, because they have

576
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:52.360
to have a real life. Yea, the football they play and for what

577
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:54.480
they played for, it's because they
played because they love the game and it

578
00:38:54.519 --> 00:39:00.079
gives them enough to be able to
do it right and not uh not not

579
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:02.639
be a financial hardship for that.
And that's that's what they get to do.

580
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:06.159
And then at some point, you
know, you say, okay,

581
00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:07.639
I've you know, I've done my
I've done my stuff and I'm ready to

582
00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.480
move on. So that's that's where
we're at, right. I know these

583
00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:14.599
guys want to play three more games. That's how many it to take.

584
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.639
How can I say this? And
I think you could talk about it.

585
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.440
So if they go another week to
get paid another they get paid per game

586
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.000
per game, okay, right,
they get they get paid per game,

587
00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.199
and then all the things that they
get with at the room and board and

588
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:36.079
the room and board, the medical, the meals and all that stuff that

589
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.519
continue that just it just continues until
they're done playing. Um, I don't

590
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:44.800
know if there's uh uh, you
know, they get an extra check,

591
00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:47.800
say you win a playoff game.
I don't know if there's if there's an

592
00:39:47.880 --> 00:39:52.280
addition, an additional mount or anything. Because you know, somebody wins the

593
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.440
Super Bowl, they get X thousand
dollars or whatever. But I don't know

594
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:58.000
if there's that. The rings involved
in this too, I think it will

595
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:00.320
be. Yeah, I think they
would get rings if they they were to

596
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:01.920
win it. Okay, because I
was assuming that the Riders have a few,

597
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:05.960
right because they want Yeah wow,
but it's been a while since they

598
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:10.079
won a championship. Don't remind him. Don't remind mister guy. I know,

599
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:16.119
if he's listening bringing that up,
don't talk about to bring that up.

600
00:40:16.599 --> 00:40:21.559
Yeah, but you know, but
um, I don't know. I

601
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:22.440
would think there would be you know, I mean, it's not gonna be

602
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.719
a Super Bowl ring, but it's
gonna be a you know, there'd be

603
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:28.760
you know, something like that that
would be sort of a keepsake from winning

604
00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:30.559
the league. I would think the
league would would pony up for something like

605
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:35.199
that. You know, you'd like
to think that they would. Look.

606
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.519
These guys sacrifice a lot. I
mean, as I said, they don't

607
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:42.519
make a ton of money at this. They make enough to live right and

608
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.360
and be able to play football.
You know, they don't, you know,

609
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:49.800
they don't have careers because they're they're
spending you know, however, but

610
00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:52.840
three or four months doing this,
so they don't. You know, none

611
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:55.519
of these guys are you know,
lawyers in a law firm or taking a

612
00:40:55.639 --> 00:41:00.760
break. What they all want to
be is is um Oh. I know

613
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:05.719
I do this to myself. Think
about names and I can't remember the names

614
00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:12.280
the Cardinals quarterback from Iowa who played
um um um, Kurt Warner, Kurt

615
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:14.800
Warner. They don't want to be
that story that gay, right, and

616
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.400
there's that, you know, And
I honestly believe that some of these guys

617
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:22.519
do it because of no because they
see, because they see that there was

618
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.519
a dream that got realized there what's
that? Why not me? Why not?

619
00:41:24.719 --> 00:41:28.360
Why not me? Exactly? Why
not me? Why not you?

620
00:41:28.639 --> 00:41:31.639
Jason career in journalism? Yeah?
Why not? Set the storm? Got

621
00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:37.840
a tan ESPN. He'll be re
hiring by then, yeah, yeah,

622
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:42.800
who knows? So how many how
many guys do make it? You know,

623
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.000
good questions league like, um,
a number of guys And when I

624
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:54.199
say a number, there's there's there's
what fifteen fifteen sixteen teams okay, okay,

625
00:41:54.679 --> 00:42:00.519
and so they probably and these teams
got twenty five guys. So I

626
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:08.280
would say probably maybe ten twelve guys
might move up and go play the USFLM

627
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:14.679
NO in the league. Yeah,
you know, some guys move up.

628
00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:16.199
Some guys are on their way back
from those leagues, right, Yeah,

629
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:20.639
you know a lot of these guys
have Some of these guys have they've had

630
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.719
some time in the NFL and then
or they've been uh, they've been um,

631
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:28.519
you know, they've been in training
camp. They may have maybe made

632
00:42:28.599 --> 00:42:31.880
the practice squad and then got cut. Yeah. Try so now they've had

633
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.760
a taste of it and try to
stay alive to uh, you know,

634
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:39.480
to keep playing. Let's take this
call higher on there and on the ball.

635
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.320
Hey you guys, this is Gabriel
Gabriel from California. How are you

636
00:42:45.480 --> 00:42:49.159
guys? Are you guys are doing
well? Gabriel? Wow, we're doing

637
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.280
well? What do you and where
are you been and how do you feel

638
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:59.239
on the eve of something that could
or could not happen. Um, well,

639
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:06.400
I'm not surprised that they don't have
a TV deal, So I guess

640
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:12.480
that the TV deal is gonna be
on PBS Kids or Nickelodeon. So I'm

641
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:22.559
being a mod ass so no,
you never so anyway, I just wanted

642
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:27.559
to see I just wanted to talk
about this. Um, I'm not surprised

643
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:32.599
that there isn't no TV deal.
So and also, can I just voice

644
00:43:32.719 --> 00:43:40.199
my opinion about George klia Coffin and
then we can discuss about Arizona's football schedule.

645
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:43.679
Okay, but you're not allowed to
cuss, okay, because then you're

646
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:47.400
it sounds like you're mad. No, no, no, I'm just I'm

647
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:52.199
just not surprised by anyway, I'm
not gonna cuss. Don't worry about it.

648
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:59.440
Um anyway, So my opinion about
George klia coff is he talks a

649
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:06.159
lot and does him back it off
and at bets he's way way too over

650
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:14.960
his head or he just a we're
all famous encompassed him buffoon. Well you

651
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:21.400
didn't cuss, Well that's short of
cussing. Okay, all right, respect

652
00:44:21.440 --> 00:44:23.719
your opinion. All right, what
makes you say what makes you say that

653
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:28.519
because nothing's been done? What if? What if nothing could be done?

654
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:32.039
Well, here's the scene. He
didn't, he didn't, he didn't he

655
00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:40.440
he he basically didn't. He didn't
know that USC and UCLA wire basically staff

656
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:45.159
in right in the back and tw
the knife and decide to go to the

657
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:51.519
bid ten. So that is on
his ass and he and just mainly I

658
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:57.280
just I just basically set up with
with him all saying well, well,

659
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:02.440
I'm just basically sat up with seeing
well TV me always coming. Well,

660
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:10.039
that's basically more of the patrol STEMP
step boys just like um not John,

661
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:19.079
we'rener the of your guy because Dono, he's just a huge steps for the

662
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:25.679
conference. I just said, up
with his his personality. I'm trying not

663
00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:29.920
to cuss. Yeah, I can
tell you're working hard at that. All

664
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:31.760
right, so what do you So
let's talk about the football schedule we got

665
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:35.960
We got a few minutes. So
yeah, first of all, how many

666
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:43.880
wins do you see? I see
I think eight wins. I think they

667
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:49.400
got an upset either Washington. I
think, well at home, that's a

668
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:58.360
good upset upset at USC because I
think they're probably gonna feel motivated to get

669
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:07.360
to give the Chargings best sat L
and upset and win against against Utah.

670
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:13.320
And they gotta beat the teams I
needed. They need to beat um like

671
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:20.840
a fu Colorado, Washington State,
Danford, definitely, Nau, definitely uh

672
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:27.519
al Pasto. So a whole lot
of wins in there. You went.

673
00:46:27.679 --> 00:46:30.880
You went from being the most pessimistic
guy to the most optimistic guy in a

674
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:37.400
matter of seconds. Well, well
that's because Kevin Bumlin was running Arizona and

675
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:44.400
I wanted I wanted his ass gone. So luckily is that has gone.

676
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:50.159
So I'm running myself. A note, do not piss off Gabriel's kind of

677
00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:52.880
mean. Yeah, I love you, Gabriel. You know that's three hell

678
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:58.760
within the USC, Washington and Utah. Holy cow, those are the three

679
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.559
best, three best teams other schedule. Yeah, I mean, like a

680
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:07.280
rousing snake. Well good luck,
all right, man, we're gonna take

681
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:10.960
your eight winds. We're gonna mark
that with Dow Gabriel. Okay, all

682
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:15.400
right, man, appreciate And I'm
being really patient with the whole TV deal.

683
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:21.159
And you know that I want Arizona
to go to the bitchall because I

684
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:27.840
still think that Aaron Arizona needs to
be producted and survived as a whole athletic

685
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:31.840
to parment a whole conference. And
I really don't care about the other schools.

686
00:47:31.920 --> 00:47:37.719
There is no such thing as conference
loyalty, just like USC and UCLA.

687
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:43.920
So Arizona needs to do where it's
best for Arizona, not to Scumdale

688
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:49.320
is not Utah, not Oregon,
not Washington. Hear about you, not

689
00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:52.960
them. They can go to the
dust town of history. All right,

690
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:55.639
there you go, Bobby Robbins,
that was for you. All right,

691
00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:59.400
Gabriel, thanks a whole bunch for
the call. We always appreciate it.

692
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:02.679
Thank you, guys, I help
you guys are doing good. And State

693
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:06.800
State, thank you, thank you. Oh he's trying to be nice at

694
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:09.280
the end. Thank you, Gabriel. I got tears in my eyes,

695
00:48:09.360 --> 00:48:14.920
man, Kevin. But of all
all this time, all these years,

696
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.079
I've never I've never thought of that, and I'm really upset at myself for

697
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:21.480
not having thought of that. That
would have been a nice headline in the

698
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:25.480
New York Post. Way to go, Gabriel. Nice call. That was

699
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:30.960
fun. It was really fun.
He win. He's got his beating Washington,

700
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:37.519
Washington Uh, because they said you
got those three he had a beating

701
00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:43.639
Washington State, Arizona State, Colorado, and Stanford. So that's what that's

702
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:49.960
that's seven you tapping, you tapping, and a year that's nine. He's

703
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:53.760
he's been listening to Jake Fisher if
you called nine wins. Yeah, because

704
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:58.280
then because the only the only teams
he didn't say that they were gonna beat

705
00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:00.159
were the teams he didn't mention,
right, didn't mention Mississippi State, he

706
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:05.400
didn't mention us Lay, and he
didn't mention Oregon State. So so I

707
00:49:05.480 --> 00:49:08.639
mean he might he might be thinking
they're goundefeated. Maybe Okay, Brooke,
