00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.280
at a couple of but briefly at
a couple of You know, you have

15
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.599
a events that he might have been
here for, but never really spent any

16
00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:08.760
amount of time talking to him since
his forever his daughter used to play here,

17
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.040
right, And I think that's I
think I saw him here a couple

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.400
here following her, but you know, just to say hi and uh,

19
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.959
you know, pat on the back
kind of thing. But not really he's

20
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.079
had a chance, you know.
But he was the same Joe Turner I

21
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.079
remember. And you know he's always
a smile on his face. Smiling Joe

22
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.159
Turner. He's a cast of characters. They're in for the the camp this

23
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.719
weekend. They're all coming. He's
him, Pete and Uh and Craig are

24
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.359
all driving down from Phoenix after flying
in. So he'll be on the He'll

25
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.040
be in the car, in the
car, all three of those guys be

26
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.519
in the car. Yeah, that
sounds bad crowd right there. Well,

27
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.439
I think a bad crowd many years
ago. Well it's an old bad crowd.

28
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:55.239
Now it's just a crowd except for
Pete Pets Well he's got knee surgery,

29
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.560
so he's not his mobus. But
so it'll be fun with Joe go

30
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.319
back and reminisce about some of the
crazy guys. And still Dunk. Uh

31
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.479
you remember because he posted peaked Dunk
before the legging. He posted something today.

32
00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:10.479
Remember the game twenty years ago when
they played the game and they kind

33
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.159
of build Kale. He looked like
you can still play pull down Town rebounds.

34
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.560
Yeah, now he's still you know, it still looks good. Guys

35
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.159
are all in their fifties, so
I don't want to take fifties. Don't

36
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:23.039
want to talk about these guys look
good. I think Pete might be almost

37
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.879
six yor didn't you didn't we have
them like right after he's about you know,

38
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.800
he's because he finish, No,
he finished. He has to be

39
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.159
because he's about two years older than
me. That yeah, yeah, yeah,

40
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.800
one of the good guys. One
of the good guys. Picky is

41
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:42.319
all here. I shouldn't say that
publicly, but it's great that these guys

42
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.159
are coming in there and continuing.
Yeah yeah, he's the thing. I

43
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:46.840
know. There's a lot of people
here in town who love being a part

44
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.759
of that fantasy came. They're there
and they're just you know, the good

45
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.479
old days, right, And I
still say, I don't know if you'll

46
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.120
argue with me or not, but
they are the firstborn and a favorite child

47
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.960
the eighty eighteen they continued and probably
the most favorite team for those who can

48
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.039
remember, just just in terms of
liking the guys yeah, because you know,

49
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.520
again, they were the first ones
that that got Arizona to sort of

50
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.280
the promised land. I know,
you had guys, you know, the

51
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:16.199
Miles Simons and the Mike Bibbies and
t J. McConnell's and guys that have

52
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.919
come through here. The people have
you know, really fallen in love with,

53
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:22.840
you know, Richard Jefferson, Luke
Walt and all those guys are a

54
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.800
whole bunch of guys. But you
know these are kind of like the big

55
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.240
brothers of all those guys. Jimmy. Uh again, I don't know if

56
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.639
you agree with me. Eighty eight
versus ninety seven, who wins eight eight?

57
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:37.400
No question? Yeah, not even
close. Yeah, yeah, I

58
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.840
because I think eighty eight was KG
here. They had together right there.

59
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.039
There wasn't a guy on the ninety
seven team that was like Sean Elliot,

60
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.560
no, right, and they and
while Mike Baby was a really good point

61
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.599
guard and a really good that's the
edge. I think that's the edge.

62
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.639
You know, he was not the
shooter. I mean, I'm Arizona.

63
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.360
That eighty eight team had three guys
that could make a three point you know,

64
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:03.159
with with Ellie McMillan and Kurt that
could make a three pointer from anywhere.

65
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.199
The closest time, the closest one
to Sean was Michael Dickerson, who

66
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.280
the first step could get some but
we all know that he faded in the

67
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.360
tournament and and and he didn't have
They wanted to spite him. Yeah,

68
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:15.839
and he you know they didn't and
they didn't. He couldn't do the things

69
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.439
Sean Alley could do. Who could, right, he could score when he

70
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:21.439
was on, he was on,
but when he was not doing well,

71
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.079
like and Everyzona still won the tournament
without him playing well. Right, oh

72
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.600
yeah, yeah, Like I you
know, when I think of Sean Elliott,

73
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.160
and it's always my first vision is
and I know it was in a

74
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.959
loss, in that final four loss, but when he went down the lane,

75
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.839
uh you know, just took that
like you said, he had that

76
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.879
first step, went down the lane
on his defender and dunked and nobody could

77
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.680
get in his way. And it's
to me it's one of the great all

78
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.920
time dunks in Arizona basketball history,
a because of when it happened and be

79
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:58.720
just what it looked like. I
just remember, you're going really loud exclamation,

80
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.560
you know, not you're in because
I was cheering ARIZRMA. It was

81
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:09.600
it was I was cheering the play. Just yeah, the plight unbelievably.

82
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.319
You just went, whoa, I've
done that a few times. Yeah when

83
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.800
you see yeah yeah, okay,
so no that he's coming and counting in.

84
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.560
What about the second half and then
second half we're gonna have Lamont love

85
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:25.600
it. Uh, color guy for
Arizona Football Radio, Wildcat Sports Tweave ninety.

86
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.519
You know, he's he's the he's
the color analyst. We'll we'll talk

87
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.519
to Lament about what he's been seeing, uh, you know, at at

88
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.480
camp, what he's talking about,
What what he's thinking about this team?

89
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:39.160
You know, I want to ask
Lamont. You know, he's a he's

90
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.959
he was a running back at Arizona. What does he pay attention to most

91
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.160
is hell? Is he looking at
the running back or because he's of his

92
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.920
job, does he kind of spread
himself around and look at everything. I'd

93
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.519
love to know what, you know, what's his priority when he's looking at

94
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.720
it. That's funny because I was
thinking the same thing. You were just

95
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.399
thinking that what does he see?
Because you know, we you we you

96
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.680
and I have different eyes. And
he was a player and he was a

97
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.240
player. What do they go see? Yeah, you know that's like I

98
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.519
asked brute Bryan Bryan Jefferies over the
weekend, So what do you see?

99
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.920
Well, okay, see and I
don't know what I see. You know,

100
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.360
I see play, and I see
guys doing stuff, and I see

101
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.160
guys making plays. But I don't
technique. We don't know all that.

102
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.199
You know, they run a certain
play and certain things were supposed to happen.

103
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.600
I don't know what it's supposed to. Look. This is us.

104
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:27.000
That's Pete Lucas fast. That guy
could jump and catch the ball. Just

105
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:33.040
the flow's got a body. The
Lawd's got a nice arm. These guys

106
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:39.600
is a big dude stuff than us. And that's cool. That's that's our

107
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.480
analysis. And I hope, I
hope people out there listening don't take that,

108
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.199
like, okay, acter, I'm
turning this off because I don't learn

109
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.680
anything from me. They come for
the comedy. Hey, we're just like

110
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.000
everybody out there for the comedy.
We're fans. We're you know, we

111
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:55.759
see or we you know, we're
out there spectating with spectator like use fact

112
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.879
take We'll see what it looks like
when the games in fact in fact,

113
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.879
if you guys want to call us
the five two or four six thirty four

114
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.120
forty. When you go to the
game, or if you go to game,

115
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.720
what do you see? What do
you look for when you go to

116
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.879
the game, you watch the game, Yeah, but you don't look for

117
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.439
anything right now. I'm not watching
a linebacker, you know. I mean

118
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.839
I can notice things like I know
if Arizona is getting abused on the line

119
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.879
right because you see, because you
can see that guys are in the backfield

120
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.079
they're not able to run the ball. Or you know, I can see

121
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.160
that somebody's offensive line is pushing Arizona
around. You know. I see things

122
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.959
like that, But I don't see
Okay, the nose tackle needs to you

123
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.879
know, he needs to do this
and do that, you know, or

124
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.720
the linebackers aren't filling the hole or
whatever. I don't see that. I

125
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:44.399
see. Did a play work or
didn't it? I see down in distance?

126
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.639
Did you get the first down?
If you didn't? How close are

127
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.319
you are you going for it on
fourth down? You know you're on third

128
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.120
and two. Are you gonna throw
the ball? You're gonna run the ball?

129
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:56.519
I don't see what a play looks
like. Strategy right. And and

130
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.279
if you if you want to call
you go to the game, what do

131
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.920
you look at? You just go
watch the game? Do you make try

132
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.759
to you know, is this a
run play? This is a past play?

133
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.519
Who they're going to go to?
You know, I don't think that's

134
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.279
too much going. You want to
have to be entertained. You know when

135
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.519
when with the rich Row teams,
I know that I was always looking down

136
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.560
on when they were on offense.
I was always looking down field for a

137
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.439
past instead of look instead of watching
the ball, watching the quarterback. You

138
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.399
know that they would snap the ball
and I'd look to see where the receivers

139
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.600
were going and then look back real
quick. Oh we're about row fifty six,

140
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:35.320
so that's good. Good, But
you're in the corner two right kind

141
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.960
of well, we're in about the
ten yard. So I love those seats.

142
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.759
I love those seats because it's kind
of where we are in basketball.

143
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.279
We're up high, we're on the
end zone. Issue that the field opens

144
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.519
up. You can see you can
see the plays happened when we were on

145
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.639
the floor. You know, great
seats, But I know I would rather

146
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.320
go work. We have a little
bit of an angle. Let's say let's

147
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.519
say they're on the about the fifty
yard line, going away from us.

148
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:03.320
You can really see the field,
see the defense and see you see holes

149
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:05.799
open up for a running back and
stuff like that. You can gotta see,

150
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.120
oh he's open. You know he's
gonna catch. Well, you know

151
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.919
you already know what's gonna happen.
Yeah. Yeah, when you're on the

152
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.960
floors, you don't really don't know. So that's not I yeah. You

153
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.240
know, it's funny too because like
there're been road games, right or we're

154
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.519
sitting in the end zone and we
think, oh god, we're in the

155
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.799
end zone. But those aren't horrible
seats because they're either coming at you or

156
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:26.720
they're going away from you. Now, of course when they get to the

157
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.240
other side of the field, it's
real hard to see. You see,

158
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.519
and you see more stuff. You
have the big screen. Yep, you

159
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.799
see more stuff. But you know, again, I it's not I'm not

160
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.279
very deep in terms of what I
see. I see, you know,

161
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.519
I see a play run, I
see whether or not it works. You

162
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.919
know, I may notice that,
you know, the quarterback throws a you

163
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.120
know, he throws a ball to
a receiver he's covered. He had this

164
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.480
guy open over here. I don't
know for sure that he was that he

165
00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.960
was open, And we got a
call her. Hi, you're on the

166
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.120
air and eye on the ball.
Hey, this is Bill. Hey,

167
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.080
Bill, what's up? Hey?
I sit in the north end zone,

168
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.519
just outside the left hash, looking
towards the south, okay, And I

169
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:11.759
used binoculars and I watched the line, and I see all the holes opening.

170
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.639
I see who's blocking good because I
think the game's won in the trenches,

171
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.600
on the offensive line or defensive line. So I get to see that

172
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.840
really well how much usually as much
the whole fields of my vision. So

173
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.120
I see the quarterback and I can
tell the receivers are opening at the quarterback

174
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.559
hit him, So I like those
see I didn't. I didn't really want

175
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.639
him at first, but I've grown
to really love him. How much do

176
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:37.200
you focus on that though? Maybe
don't actually see the total play because you're

177
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.960
watching the line, or do you
just watch the whole play develop? I

178
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.519
watched the whole play develop and then, but sometimes I get caught up in

179
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:46.639
a in a one on one situation
or a double team situation, and I

180
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.840
miss I missed the play. But
I can look at the big screen and

181
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:52.200
see the replay really easy too,
because it's right up in front of us.

182
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.360
So do you is that is that? Do you enjoy the game watching

183
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.399
it like that? I love it. I love it. I used to

184
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.440
not take binoculars, and I brought
one of my older baseball coaches to a

185
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.559
game with him one time, and
he had binoculars and he said he let

186
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.320
me use them. After that,
I was I was hooked. Yeah,

187
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.360
because it's like it's like you're setting
right, You're like you're almost on the

188
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.000
field with him. It's it's awesome. Yeah, anticipating what's gonna happen,

189
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.879
that's kind of cool. I don't
know, it's too technical for me.

190
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:24.080
We take we take bets before the
play with my kids and stuff. It's

191
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.320
gonna be a runners, they're gonna
be a pass. You know, did

192
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.879
the did the running back hit the
whole ride or it was a hole to

193
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.080
the left and he cuts the ride
or we love it. It's it's it's

194
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.759
a good time, especially for winning. You were Vegas before Vegas. That's

195
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.919
cool. That's very that's very fun. That's a very cool way. And

196
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.480
I you know, I know some
people who you have gone to those North

197
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.799
end zone seats, and I think, like you were like, well,

198
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.639
I'm not you know, but you
know, the chairbacks and then you know

199
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.039
the whole nice, nice section.
And I know my brothers has been sitting

200
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.720
there and he loves it. He
loves those seats. I said about eight

201
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.279
rows up from the field, and
so you got to be careful during warm

202
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.080
ups. You get you get hit
with a field goal that you know,

203
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:07.720
pretty good bills He thanks. You
know, I think there's a lot of

204
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.159
people who do that. I'll tell
you one one one time, you know,

205
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.720
watching from from that vantage point down
on the field. You know,

206
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.480
when I was covering, covering the
team, we were down, we were

207
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.279
down on the field and I think
it was I'm pretty it wasn't away game,

208
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.279
and we were like under the goal
post right or you know, sort

209
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.399
of in the middle of the field
in the end. And that's where I

210
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.200
saw realize the speed of the game. You know, Ronnie Viale was the

211
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.159
quarterback. I have this vision he
was the quarterback, you know, and

212
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.639
and I remember the first play I
saw and they snapped the ball and the

213
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.960
way just this total chaos broke out
on the line, and I'm like,

214
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.000
how does he see what he's supposed
to do, you know, I mean

215
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.600
I was almost you know, Ronney
Vielle was five five eleven. I'm almost

216
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.120
as tall as him. I can't
see past the guard, you know,

217
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.399
and it was really cop and then
how fast it was. Yeah, we'll

218
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:07.000
see what the quarterback at well,
the today's quarterback, you know, the

219
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.279
phoenix, all the all the smallest
quarterbacks. I don't know how they do

220
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.320
it. The offensive lines aren't aren't
six two, they're six four things five.

221
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.519
Yeah, but but it's not just
it's not just how tall they are.

222
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.240
It's all the movement that's going on. And how do you look past

223
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.080
that? Next to see what you've
got to see? Next one we have

224
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.679
John Peter. We'll ask him about
we got Well, okay, Hi,

225
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.879
you're on the r and I on
the ball. Yeah. When I go,

226
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.519
I go to the east side and
I get up high, up high,

227
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:41.120
and you can see, I mean
you can watch. You can be

228
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.080
like, oh, there goes Khalil
Tad. He's about the store a touchdown.

229
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.039
Of course that only happened for like
five games. And then yeah,

230
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.679
to read that up. I remember
being up there and the game where trunk

231
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:58.799
candidate ran all over and being I
was almost in the end zone, way

232
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:05.120
high, and it was it was
so exciting. You could see stuff spread

233
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.360
out. Now you gotta walk and
walk and walk and walk and walk and

234
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:16.080
walk and walk. And you guys
know that that is a trump but it's

235
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.480
wonderful, especially when that game that
was one of my That game, I'll

236
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.240
never forget. That was just crazy
game. So you're the second Are you

237
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.200
in the second level in the upper
deck? Right? Oh? Yeah?

238
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.399
Way? The hail up there like
nose Bleeds City, like the bats are

239
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.279
up there with us at night.
But they're not. They're not that seats

240
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.840
because for the reason, you see
everything. Yes, even if you're on

241
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.840
like the five, because that's where
you end up being, you can still

242
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.639
see. The Only problem is if
you're looking way down the other end.

243
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.200
I don't like being lowered down.
I just don't. It doesn't it it

244
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.720
doesn't. It doesn't do it for
me. On the other hand, I

245
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:58.200
can't get anybody to hike up there
with hey, hey we gotta we gotta

246
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:01.559
go to our break. But thank
you for the follow dat. No,

247
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.879
that's true. I think those those
seats, those type of seats are under

248
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.240
sold or undervalued. If that makes
any sense UF because I like, they're

249
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.960
not horrible. No, no,
they're not horrible. I know people tend

250
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.639
to say I want to sit down
low, but you set up high and

251
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.840
you can set right. All right. Let's take our break. Word to

back here, because that's a big that's

365
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.599
a big deal for the Tucson community
and the fans. So without question,

366
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:29.319
coming back to Tucson has always been
a great feeling for me, and it's

367
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.960
my family away from California, and
it's very comfortable and I'm excited to be

368
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:37.920
back there. Well, your daughter
went to school here, right, so

369
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.880

00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.200
why why Tucson? Why does it
becomes I know, I mean I know

371
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.920
why, but I mean, what
is it about that the special in your

372
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:53.079
heart? Tucson? The community there, they embraced us when we were chest

373
00:23:53.200 --> 00:24:00.240

and Coach Ludolsen. It's always been about

374
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:07.519
a family with with Coach Olson,
and that connection went out to the community

375
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.319
and we always had that ever since
we come back. We got the greatest

376
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:17.480
fans in Arizona, be any school
out there. And just talked to one

377
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.759
of the co workers the other day
and he was like telling me, he

378
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:26.319
says, two sons got the greatest
fans Arizona. The alumni there's like none

379
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.960
other in the in the in the
US. Does it does it seem like

380
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:37.079
what eighty eight? What is that? Thirty five years? Thirty five years,

381
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.079
thirty five years, Joe, Hey, thirty five years and that's that's

382
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:47.960
awesome, Joe, Joe, let
me, let me. Can you tell

383
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.759
me? This is this story that
I think Pete's told a few times about

384
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:56.680
dropping a quarter outside of the car. I mean that was with Craig Dreg

385
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:03.559
mcveillan. Uh, at the the
Mercury Leagues, and we used to beat

386
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.759
guys. We needed gas money back
then. So Craig make a bet that

387
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:14.200
Joel Turner can pick up a quarter
without opening up the door. And uh,

388
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.759
all the football players and the baseball
guys would all take that bet,

389
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.039
you know, for two three dollars, and uh we win every time he

390
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.119
just reaches out. Well, I
you know, I gotta say you think

391
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.359
of that. The first road trip
when I was covering you guys, went

392
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.720
with you guys to or one of
the first road trips, went with you

393
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:38.279
guys to San Diego State, and
Steve Condon invited me to go have dinner

394
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.200
with you guys. You went to
Anthony's, a place in San Diego,

395
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:44.400
and I just remember I'm sitting at
the table. I'm all the way at

396
00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.440
the end, and all of a
sudden, I see this hand go past

397
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:49.960
me, pass the guy to my
right, and pass me, and you

398
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.960
reach for something in the plate of
a guy to my left. And you

399
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:00.160
were two guys to my right,
and I'm like, what the hell you

400
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:04.799
were picking up something out of somebody's
playing I think that wingspan was seven foot

401
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:10.240
four or seventh three. So well, and then I wasn't you know,

402
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.079
yeah, and then you gotta you
gotta throw in the length of the fingers

403
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:15.720
because I just remember that was it
was like the up until that point,

404
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:18.640
that was the biggest hand I had
ever seen. And that was when I

405
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:22.400
was playing at Arizona. They thought
it was all about the jumping. They

406
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.599
thought I had a pretty good vertical, but it was all about the arms.

407
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:27.480
Yeah, he's one of the guys
that get still dunk. So,

408
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:32.079
Joe, you've always had this humor. Where did you get your humor?

409
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:34.880
Before I tell the joke about a
couple of things? Where'd you get that?

410
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:40.279
Well? I've always been on a
pretty easy going and you know,

411
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.799
I love life and I like to
have fun and you know, so it's

412
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:47.039
it's been I've been that way since
I was a kid. You know,

413
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.079
I never took things right too seriously, so I think just as an adult,

414
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:52.640
it just carried over. So,
okay, here's the first story.

415
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:56.240
Uh, and you're you're nineteen twenty
years old, and I know this is

416
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.799
kind of silly because it's a dead
joke kind of thing, but you're in

417
00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:08.400
an elevator. Can tell me more? Yeah, in the elevator and uh

418
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:14.599
where I believe it was. Oh, I don't I can't remember where.

419
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.440
We were in an elevator and I
and I and I told him, I

420
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:19.319
think I told Pete. I said, I think I could tell you what

421
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:22.799
Florida Where Florida We're gonna be coming
up on next And he was like,

422
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.440
man, how can you tell that? And I said, because I have

423
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.400
ESPN, I thought you were.
I thought you were telling this to a

424
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:38.039
couple of old boosters there you go. Man, Well and that's look And

425
00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.240
I honestly, John, I mean, I think that's one of the reasons

426
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:42.880
this Tom fell in love with you, because you just said, you know,

427
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.680
you were that guy. You know
that's that season in eighty eight.

428
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.359
You know you were a senior.
You know, you knew your role,

429
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.920
you had your role, you contributed. They couldn't have done it without you.

430
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.920
I just feel like this place is
really you were one of the guys

431
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.640
that they kind of adopted sort of
because you were you know at the very

432
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.640
start of all of this. Did
did you kind of feel that Well?

433
00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:08.039
I came in and I was willing
to accept whatever role with Luke. Luke

434
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:14.440
gave me, and uh, we
understood coming in that we were gonna be

435
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.759
very competitive and there was gonna be
you know, and on any given week,

436
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.680
any one of those guys could come
in as a starter. So every

437
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.279
practice we have to work our butts
off and you know, make sure he

438
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.519
didn't slack off, because that was
you know, it wasn't to guarantee that

439
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.119
you were going to be on the
floor. You have to work for it,

440
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:36.279
and that was a good thing about
He made sure that you worked harder

441
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.039
just as hard in practices, Uh, to prove that you wanted to play

442
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:44.559
the game. Yeah, no questions. We talked to to Craig earlier and

443
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.799
I got him to talk about the
fishing stories that he had with you guys

444
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:49.559
in Luke. You know, Luke
had no idea what he was doing fishing,

445
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.359
but he was telling you guys what
to do, right, what's your

446
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:59.079
what's your what's your favorite memory of
him? Hey? We were well because

447
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:03.599
any time like we when you're on
the boat with Craig and you're we're fishing

448
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.519
for salmon, and everyone's got a
designated pole while we're out there, and

449
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.880
so each each one of the guys
we got like four poles in the water

450
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:15.160
and everyone's watching their own pole.
But each time any poll would hit with

451
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.359
a salmon on it, coach,
I would jump up and grab that pole.

452
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.240
I got this, I got this, I got it, I got

453
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.160
it. And then the other times
in our coach coachure, I, you

454
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.640
know, like the salmon, the
bite, the bites off, and it's

455
00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:37.039
time to go, you know for
five o'clock drinks, and uh, coach

456
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.720
all is like giving Craig's directions like
go around the booty a couple of more

457
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.240
times, Craig the bites over there, and so Craig's like, coach,

458
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:48.799
is time to go in He's like
a couple more times. Craig's like,

459
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:55.720
okay, coach, but what about
what about on the court, because you

460
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.039
weren't Tober, you know, he
was always on tbur Was he ever on

461
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:03.240
you? Oh? Of course I
was the one that like stopping the blows

462
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:10.519
for everyone else when called times out
there when we were running and we had

463
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:14.559
a really hard practice and things were
taught. You know, I was kind

464
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.240
of the one that I could take
the blow from Coats and like make everybody

465
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.599
else like we can get away now. Yeah. In fact, in fact,

466
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:23.359
I don't know if you know in
fact to Jay, I think you

467
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.319
mirror me, not know the story. So this is for another book I

468
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.039
wrote a while back. Was it
New Mexico? Was it in New Mexico

469
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:34.400
when you went on the board.
Oh, now, Craig on the boat

470
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.440
in Mexico in New Mexico, had
New Mexico when he had you go up

471
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:42.839
to the drawing board. Oh,
yes, that was me. Yeah,

472
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:52.519
I messed up the I kind of
ruined the And we ran this play just

473
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.319
like every so often at the end
of practice, and it was such an

474
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:02.359
easy play, but the starters basically
ran it all the time. And then

475
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:03.839
I was coming in off the bench, so I didn't have you know,

476
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.119
I didn't run to play. Some
days he ran it, some days not.

477
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.519
And so the coach at the end
of the New Mexico the halftime cup

478
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:19.640
said run the home run play where
to go? And so Steve was taking

479
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.759
the ball out and Steve threw the
ball where I was supposed to be and

480
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:29.200
the ball just went out of bound
and New Mexico got the ball back down

481
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:33.440
out on their end and we went
into halftime. And then coach was so

482
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:40.920
Coach was like he was kissed and
he was like Joe get up here right

483
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.480
now? Do you know to play? Get up here and try to play.

484
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:45.200
And I was like, yes,
coach, I'm never to play.

485
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:49.599
He said, get up here and
draw it. And so we had this

486
00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:55.759
big chalkboard like half the half the
sides of the wall the locker room,

487
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.160
and he gave me the marker.
He says, try to play. And

488
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.920
so I was so nervous. I
got up there and I was like like

489
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:13.359
the size of a dollar bill.
And then he was like, where where

490
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.160
are you supposed to be? And
so I looked at Peak and he put

491
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:21.640
his head down, and then I
looked at Steve. He put his head

492
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.519
down. I looked around the locker
and for help, and nobody was willing

493
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.160
to help me. He was like, where are you supposed to be?

494
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.039
And then so I drew an X
over the top of the key, like

495
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:39.200
the whole entire sea, like the
side of a side of anyone. It

496
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:44.119
was funny. He just grabbed it. He just grabbed the chalk from your

497
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:49.079
head and just go sit down.
He snapped the tin out of my head.

498
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.920
It's like, don't sit down exactly. That's funny how you see it

499
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:58.319
though, you know it's a huge
he drew a little like quarter was a

500
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.119
little quarter of a court right there, Like, I don't know where I'm

501
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.960
supposed to be, Joe, you
know, Yeah, just the d X

502
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.279
over the it's hard key that I've
written down. That's just X over the

503
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:13.640
top of it. And then later
on and then later on, Coach said,

504
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:19.119
you know, X is for deef. That's true. That's true.

505
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.440
So you're coming in with the dudes
right now, you're coming in with your

506
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.559
favorite dudes. They're pretty much like
brothers, right. You came here for

507
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:29.480
a reason, and these dudes turn
into your brothers. Yeah. And he

508
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:31.960
was the one that kind of like, you know, he looked after me

509
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.880
his first year, you know,
showing me the ropes and stuff, and

510
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:37.640
so I really look up to pet
you know, for a lot of things.

511
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:43.119
And we call each other periodically,
just checking in on one another.

512
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:46.599
And then so Craig and I were
in the same class, and so we

513
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:51.359
hang out all the time, going
fishing, and you know, we just

514
00:33:51.440 --> 00:33:53.799
got closer over the years. And
that's that's how that worked out. Well,

515
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.000
let me ask you about that,
because you got here, you're a

516
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.000
freshman. He's a senior right when
you got here. So yeah, he's

517
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.519
a senior when I was freshman.
How did that relationship develop? I mean,

518
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.480
you know, I mean because Pete, you know, Pete looked like

519
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.800
a mean dude. Was he was
he intimidating? Was he comforting? Was

520
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:15.119
he? I mean? Yeah,
when he came in and this was Pete's

521
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.960
program and he was in this program, and we came in and we were

522
00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:22.960
gonna do whatever Pete said. And
I think it was a bad deal because

523
00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:28.400
they were like, you know,
Pete, you're gonna You're gonna babysit Joe

524
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.239
Turner. That was gonna be his
assignment. He was like, man,

525
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:37.599
how did I get this assignment?
And then like what happened to us?

526
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:44.760
Because I was like a social butterfly
and so and he was experious and he

527
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:47.880
you know, his workout everything.
He was like on detailed on everything.

528
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:51.920
And so I want to see Tucson
and get out and meet the people.

529
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:57.360
And so every time my door would
open, he would be like his door

530
00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:59.960
open, He's like, where are
you going? Get back into the room.

531
00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:04.079
Wow, I go back in my
room. And that lasted for about

532
00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.639
a month to two, and pretty
soon I got really good at not making

533
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:13.400
it noted opening the door so I
got out and it was lower. Now

534
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:15.559
was it? Now? What?
What were the were the tables ever turned

535
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:20.079
you? Or were you like that
for anybody? Like saying your senior year

536
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.960
because you had been around this was
a great thing. It was. It

537
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.960
was tough for me. Pete,
Pete was serious and if I mean,

538
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.199
once I got to know Pete,
you know, like he's the best ever.

539
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:31.519
I mean, do you want you
want him in your corner? And

540
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:35.880
he looked after me and kept me
out of a lot of missheit. And

541
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:38.960
now you know, I really appreciate
that today, you know, because without

542
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:42.599
someone like Pete being there for me, I don't know, you know,

543
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.360
I probably wouldn't have lasted at Arizona. It was no reason why I was

544
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:50.440
able to, you know, maintain
and stay serious and finish it up.

545
00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:53.199
There is he paying you? Is
he paying you to say that right now?

546
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:57.199
Or is this no? I'm telling
you right now? I feel man,

547
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:01.480
I still if Pete tell give me
orders right now? Still follow I

548
00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:05.199
went to I went to so Joe, let me ask you this question.

549
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.800
I don't know if you can answer
this question. But you didn't come last

550
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:14.159
come last year. But weren't you
a king for a moment. Uh,

551
00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:16.079
you know, that's still in the
in the process. You know, my

552
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:22.840
wife or that to say, her
father passed away and he was a title

553
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.480
holder. He was like a chief
in the Samoan Islands. And so right

554
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.800
now that's still pending whether or not
my wife it takes over the title or

555
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:36.920
not. So wow, don't have
a lot of information. It's still in

556
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:38.960
the process right now. Okay,
okay, I was ready to call you

557
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:43.599
the king. The king. I
can always call you the king, that's

558
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:47.079
what. But Steve, will you
ask the question earlier about who like my

559
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:58.559
senior year, Yeah, thanks to
me for advice, and uh, you

560
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:04.079
know Matt Kane and he was like
JT like, uh, this is preseason

561
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.199
conditioning before we actually started, like
with the coaches. He's like, what

562
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.480
do we do? And I was
like, uh, we can go for

563
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.079
a run. And he was like, oh okay. And so we went

564
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:17.880
for a run and I had already
knew were kind of conditioning we were gonna

565
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.880
have. And we ran about a
mile or maybe a mile and app and

566
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:29.800
Matt was like, oh, I'm
in real trouble here, right okay,

567
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:32.400
And of course we Wookie was another
guy, you know, we looked at

568
00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:38.760
the Wookie. Maybe, man,
I love Wookie and he was awesome,

569
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:43.559
so so maybe last question for now, because you dealt with Tolbert and he

570
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.400
was the senior guy, older dude, how was it kind of watching him?

571
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.639
You have kind of the same personality? Was he as goofy as everyone

572
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:57.280
talks about? All right? You
know? Tom loved to have fun and

573
00:37:57.480 --> 00:38:02.480
uh he played hard. He wanted
to. That was the problem. That

574
00:38:02.599 --> 00:38:07.360
was the problem. That's why I
Luke got on him so much. He

575
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:12.239
wanted that maximum effort. Every time
you have to get it out of him,

576
00:38:12.239 --> 00:38:15.599
you have to yell at him.
But Tom's kind of the same personality.

577
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.920
He loved to have fun, he
loved life. And Tom's awesome.

578
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:22.280
He lowesome guys too, And I'm
glad they had been on the team with

579
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:24.440
him and play with them, right
right right, Okay, we'll see you

580
00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:28.360
tonight and we'll see you the rest
of the weekend. Thanks for joining us.

00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:52.079
I can't even imagine how many more
stories about all about his time here

587
00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:55.360
because that that that was Again,
that's what was great about that group,

588
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.800
all those guys, you know,
Cur you know McMillan, you know,

589
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:02.119
yeah, all had just all good
people, just a bunch of good guys

590
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:06.320
to be around. Well, I
think did we talk about you talk about

591
00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:10.559
it a couple of days ago,
lu Luke didn't try to recruit bad dudes,

592
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:15.400
Yeah, because bad dudes created problems. Yeah. And you saw these

593
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:16.760
guys on the road because you know, again we've talked about the access that

594
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.440
we used to have. You've seen
these guys on the road, and you

595
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.639
knew that on top of being a
good basketball team, they were good buddies.

00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:00.760
my new book, Listens from Loot. It was a labor of love through

608
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.440
the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

609
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:07.440
to the coach and the man who
led them, competed against them, and

610
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.960
inspired them. Twenty five chapters for
his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

Ribera and Jacob Salaz on Fox Sports. Hey, welcome back to on On

661
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:05.920
About here on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve Roba. You're Jake's awesome.

662
00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:07.719
You got just nine minutes if you
guys want to give us a call.

663
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:09.599
But that was a lot of fun. We used it up with Joe,

664
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:14.079
but uh, you know, always
a fun guy. I don't remember

665
00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:16.960
ever having a conversation with Joe.
I didn't walk away just laughing or smiling

666
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:22.960
because he has ESPN, because he
got ESPN. I remember that. I

667
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:24.760
remember that now when you told this, I didn't know where you were going,

668
00:44:24.800 --> 00:44:28.639
and then I remember, yeah,
okay, I thought he told it

669
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:31.639
to a couple of older the bub
older of boosters. You know, what

670
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:34.880
are you going home? King?
Well, I know where you're going because

671
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:38.840
espnse it's more of a dad joke, and it's kind of a more it's

672
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:42.960
yes, you know, it's a
thirty year old joke back when ESPN was

673
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.800
still fresh earlier around. Man.
Yeah, so if you want to talk

674
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.599
about that, we still if you
go to the games, where do you

675
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:52.199
watch the games? You enjoy it
from where you're at? Wait, what

676
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:55.880
do you look for, Dave?
He is not paying us for this because

677
00:44:57.039 --> 00:44:59.360
like, I know what one of
the guys that that we go with,

678
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:05.679
you know, he watches he kind
of I feel like each play he watches

679
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:09.519
something different. He'll watch the line
you know, he'll watch a defensive back

680
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:14.880
or some defensive backs, or he'll
watch the lineback or you'll watch an offensive

681
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:16.719
tack. I because he'll you know, when we're talking, you know,

682
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:20.599
during the during the game, he'll
say, well, you know they're doing

683
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:22.880
this, they're doing that, or
we can't do this, we can't we

684
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:24.719
can't block this guy, you know
that kind of stuff. So I I,

685
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:28.159
you know, I know that you
know, uh, you know,

686
00:45:28.239 --> 00:45:30.639
he's a guy that just you know, pays attention to little pieces of him.

687
00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:34.559
I'm like, did they score?
Didn't they right? Right? Right?

688
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.159
Well, I think we watch it
differently because we have to write about

689
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:38.920
it and we can see some of
that, but it's more about the scoring,

690
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:42.920
yea, how they react to the
scoring things Like you know, I

691
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.079
remember, you know, covering the
games and we had to say, you

692
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:46.519
know, we would sit there write
out you know, what happened on every

693
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:51.199
buddy, you know, on a
notepad, you know, basically do a

694
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:52.800
play by plan or note pad,
jot down notes, Yeah, you know,

695
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:57.239
different stuff. And in that case, yeah, if you knew going

696
00:45:57.320 --> 00:45:59.800
in that such and such was going
to be, you know, a key

697
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:01.280
to the whole game, you'd kind
of pay attention to that guy and see

698
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:05.039
what he's doing. But in the
end, it was just like, Okay,

699
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:07.639
you know, who want on this
plane? Who want to who want

700
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:09.559
on that plane? Right? But
I'm glad I don't have to do it

701
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:13.960
now because you have to do tweet
tweet. No, I don't know.

702
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:15.559
I see these guys. You know, I'm not that guy, right,

703
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:19.559
You see these guys are press conferences. Yeah, and we're watching, We're

704
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.360
listening to the press conference. And
that's enough for me to listen. And

705
00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:27.760
if here what here with Jed or
Tommy or whoever is saying, and these

706
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:31.280
guys are listening and they're tweeting out
stuff as he's as they're saying, I'm

707
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:36.320
like, I can multitask as good
as anybody, but not that good Good

708
00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:37.800
luck for that, Good luck with
that. I feel like if I don't,

709
00:46:38.119 --> 00:46:43.000
if I lose, if I'm not
paying attention to what they're saying,

710
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.000
I'm not going to remember it.
And when I need to remember it,

711
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:47.000
which is after the press totally get
you know, to be able to kind

712
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:50.679
of clip, you know, something
that we want to talk about on the

713
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:52.480
show or whatever. That's why they're
doing it, and we're not doing it

714
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:55.360
anymore, guys. And you know, yeah, I mean it's just a

715
00:46:55.400 --> 00:47:00.679
way of doing things anymore. But
all inacted, paulsa Colla talked about that

716
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:05.079
one of the reasons he's leaving.
I mean, there's you're carrying your camera,

717
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.280
running to events, doing your own
shots, doing all these things.

718
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.719
Uh. And it's not a you
say, not an old man's game anymore.

719
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:14.440
It's not. It's not you know, you're it's a young man's game.

720
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.920
They're paying as a young man.
It's not a lot of money there.

721
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:22.119
But that's just the way the industry
is. Yeah, it's what it's

722
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.480
become. But I I We've said
a million times, I wouldn't have the

723
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:30.159
neither the patience or the energy to
cover to cover sports the way you have

724
00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:34.840
to cover him these days, right
for sure, Right in addition to the

725
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.960
travel and stuff. It's just it
is what it is. But you know,

726
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:40.039
we've been talking where you know,
we got high school football starting tomorrow.

727
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:45.039
Check out that uh stop point Miranda
game. Tomorrow. I want to

728
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:49.239
see how, you know, how
these teams look. Didn't seem like it

729
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:52.960
didn't seem like Miranda was bothered by
what happened at their uh at their school,

730
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:57.719
at least from a football you know, preparation standpoint. So I'm I'm

731
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:00.039
glad. I'm glad. It's not
because this is a big game. You

732
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:01.840
know, it's it's a game that
if you're you know, if you're a

733
00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:05.880
high school football fan and Tucson,
this is a game that you want to

734
00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:07.039
see. You know what, you
want to see South Point play Miranda.

735
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:10.119
You're gonna want to see Miranda play
CDO. I don't know if sal Point

736
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:14.760
play CDO, but I pretty sure
I saw the schedule that Miranda does.

737
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:16.440
So you know, those are the
games that you want to see back you

738
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:20.039
know, back in the day,
it was Tucson High and Amphi, you

739
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:22.239
know all of the Moran Fi and
CDO. You'd see those and you'd go

740
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:24.360
see those games and they would you
get, you know, a couple of

741
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:28.760
thousand people at those games, which
was fun to watch. Yeah, very

742
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:32.199
cool. Yeah, okay, well
that was going on and you know,

off the bench to people play. But

757
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:31.400

eight of the guys are starters. Yeah,

758
00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:34.320
eighty got in the rosha, but
eight of them are are there.

759
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.639
They have an impact, so maybe
they'll be better than what people think.

760
00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:40.840
Well, you know, uh,
you look and they it's it's it's good

761
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:43.960
for them that they're playing at a
time when they can get a little bit

762
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:47.119
of attention. You know, somebody's
somebody's making the point that if you're wondering,

763
00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:55.719
you know why USC and and uh
and uh UCLA, uh you know

764
00:49:55.840 --> 00:50:00.239
left uh you know, left the
packed, Well it's that you got.

765
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:07.039
You got. USC is opening against
against uh San Jose State on Saturday.

766
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:15.239
The game is on I believe is
on PAC twelve network. All right,

767
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:20.880
you mass New Mexico State, I
think is on ESPN. Oh really yeah,

768
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:22.679
okay, well Ko State went to
a bowl game for the first time

769
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.639
and forever outside of they've played here
for a few years ago. But but

770
00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:29.320
think about that for a second.
USC is not ranked number six in the

771
00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:35.199
country. They're on the network that
is, you know that only a portion

772
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:38.639
of the country can get and yet
you know, argue, you know what

773
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:43.159
what some people are saying is the
worst team in the country is playing on

774
00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:46.039
ESPN. Yeah, it's just it's
just crazy. But you know, the

775
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:52.519
the network games obviously Notre Dame and
Navy is on NBC. You Mass,

776
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:58.039
New Mexico State is on ESPN because
they're calling no, no, no,

777
00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:02.760
no, we're you know you've got
and then you've got uh, you know,

778
00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:07.239
PAC twelve network has the USC game
and why would why wouldn't ESPN go

779
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.639
get you know, USC on their
on their network. It's crazy, but

780
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:15.079
that's that's what happened. That's what
happened to the PAC twelve. A lot

781
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:17.800
of reasons why they are where they
are, but that's just one of them.

782
00:51:19.480 --> 00:51:22.880
That is that definitely just one of
them. Yeah, okay, anyways,

783
00:51:22.320 --> 00:51:24.159
okay, so what do we have
in the second hour, Well,

784
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:27.199
second hour, we're gonna come back. We're gonna have Lamont love it.

785
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:30.960
We're gonna get his some of his
perspective on what he's been seeing at at

786
00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:34.760
camp. We ran ran into him
at the uh the scrimmage on Saturday night,

787
00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.800
and uh, I'm sure he's got
some thoughts on what he's seen and

788
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.039
what he's expecting, you know,
players to watch those kinds of things.

789
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:44.920
We'll we'll ask him all those things
and see what in his My former player

790
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:47.920
at the Arizona running back good player, uh, very high, highly recruited

791
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:52.639
guy out of southern California. Uh, in the in the I think eighty

792
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:59.000
seven or eighty eight class. I
think at the eighty eight class uh uh

793
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:01.519
yeah, then he came in,
yeah yeah, I think so, yeah,

794
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:04.920
yeah, because he didn't finish off
the night in the early nineties.

795
00:52:05.280 --> 00:52:07.400
Yes, right, we both covered
him and then he then he was then

796
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:10.079
we no longer covered him. Yeah
yeah, I wasn't covered him anymore.

797
00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:15.760
So so we'll get Lamont's Lamonts.
But we're gonna come back uh in about

798
00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:19.159
a few minutes, and we'll have
some breaking news then. Like I said,

799
00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:22.960
it's breaking all over the place.
So just we're headed towards the start

800
00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:27.320
of the NFL season called cheese starts
in two days, so I want to

801
00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:29.599
be sure to get as much of
that stuff in as we cancel. Stick

802
00:52:29.639 --> 00:52:42.400
around for all that. We will
be right back. We go back.

803
00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:47.119
This is the moment. The nine
is the night. So we brought our

804
00:52:47.159 --> 00:52:49.000
