Okay, good afternoon, everybody. 4 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.920 Welcome to I on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm 5 00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.440 Steve Rivera. He's jacomes Oss. We're here on Wednesday afternoon. Good show 6 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.280 today. You know, I feel like today is the first day that things 7 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.960 have kind of calmed down. Even outside it's not as hot. Yeah, 8 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.399 I know there's a lot of yeah, yeah, I know there's a lot 9 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.079 of stuff going on. But I feel like, Okay, we're starting to 10 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.479 like come out of this fog that we've been in for you know, over 11 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:51.560 over a year, that we can now see the sky again. We kind 12 00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.000 of have a sense of what the landscape is, getting used to the idea 13 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.200 that you know, everyone's gonna be in the Big twelve next year and just 14 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.679 let's get ready to start talking about some you know, fall sports, particularly 15 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.400 football. Do you think in the next nine months, ten months that we 16 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.439 have left in the as witnesses of the Pac twelve? Uh, how do 17 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.560 you think it's gonna feel football wise, basketball wise, and other sports wise, 18 00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.359 because you know, baseball was prominent for a long time in the Pac 19 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.040 twelve. Softball was one of the kingpins. Yeah, now it's now it's 20 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.640 you know, I don't know if it's gonna be like a farewell tour or 21 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.120 a year long memorial service. Yeah right, you know, is it gonna 22 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.400 be a farewell tour where you know you're gonna go through these games, You're 23 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:42.200 gonna go, okay, last one and everybody, you know, let's kumbayan 24 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.840 everybody, Or is it gonna go oh man, this is like somebody died 25 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.400 every game. The last time you're gonna play call, the last time you're 26 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.680 gonna play Oregon. Stay, the last time you're gonna play Stanford, you 27 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.599 know, the last time Arizona plays UCLA and basketball, you know, the 28 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.840 last time you play Oregon? Was they gonna is they gonna? Is it 29 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.680 gonna suck? Yeah? Well, I would assume I would assume that once 30 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.039 the season's over and they start handling the schedules for years to come, that 31 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.840 UCLA will be on the schedule. It has to be, and it just 32 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.400 has to be. Uh and some of the other sports too, But I 33 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.680 don't think that schools are going to be giving each other gifts, you know, 34 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.960 for the last time. You know, the mcguel Cabrera, you know, 35 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.840 Farewell tour. You know you're gonna give everybody a you know, a 36 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.000 nice shirt or you know, an award or a you know, a band 37 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.120 or something. I think there's gonna be I think there's gonna be, at 38 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.280 least among the fans. I think there's gonna be some huscility. Yeah, 39 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.560 well, what is it? What is it there? What is it there? 40 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.759 You want you mean to tell me that they're not gonna send Mike mccronin 41 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.800 on a you know, farewell give me a kiss and a hug exactly, 42 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.039 you know, I can I can only imagine what Arizona's fans are gonna do 43 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.719 to UCLA when they come and USC. You know both well, UCLA comes 44 00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.879 here in football and basketball. USC know we go there. So I mean, 45 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.639 USC fan isn't gonna do anything to us, right because they're you know, 46 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:07.319 it's like, you know, who are you get away? We're in 47 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.400 the Big ten now, you guys are nothing. But when you sell a 48 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.240 basketball comes here, I think that's that's gonna be a little hospital as well. 49 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.000 I would expect, but you never know. You know, maybe I'm 50 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.599 not giving our fans enough credit. Uh yeah, you're probably not. You're 51 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.199 probably not. He's no longer. I was gonna see is it mac and 52 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.639 ten? He's not. He got in the draft Reportal yeah, yeah, 53 00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:30.479 yeah, but I was trying to wonder where you were. I don't know 54 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:31.800 where he went. I don't think I haven't seen any Right, I'm pretty 55 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.039 sure you got into the draft. He did, he did, he did. 56 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.159 There's nothing else that it. Yeah, so you know, I don't 57 00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.840 know, Steve. I mean, why what do you think? I don't 58 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.680 know. That's a good question, because a good question in terms of what's 59 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.759 going to happen. There's no there'll be no rocking chairs or whatever. You'll 60 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.960 see Bill Walman talking about the PAC twelve. The funny thing about it is 61 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.800 the reason why the PAC twelve is known for the Conference of Champions. Thank 62 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.280 you, Stanford, Thank you, Stanford, thank you. You see, 63 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.159 right to a degree with Stanford, two supposed that I have one all the 64 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.800 Africa and then all of a sudden they're the red headed step child. They 65 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:10.039 are because if you get Stanford, guess what you're the conference with the best 66 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.919 best sports department in the West, sports program, overall sports program in the 67 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.319 country, which might be why the ACC has decided to go at R I 68 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.480 mean, wouldn't you, Yeah, I mean, one you want you want 69 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:26.920 a school with that level of academics in your conference. Sure, and then 70 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.319 okay, maybe they're not a top school in football and basketball right now, 71 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.800 but they have been the capable and then all the other sports. I mean, 72 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.079 you know, they're they're they're you know, they're women's basketball team is 73 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:42.480 you know, right, is Blue Bluff. They're probably the ones most most 74 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.199 out there on a limb because they are one of the premier basketball women's basketball 75 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.920 teams in the country. Right. Well, so, I don't know, 76 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:57.759 I I think I think a sort of a tone for that will be said 77 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.920 when they start playing conference football games. Yeah, right, and where it's 78 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.240 teams that are going definitely correct. Yeah. Yeah. When's Arizona's first one? 79 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:10.720 Well, they have Stanford on the road. They go to Stanford right 80 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.639 after the U TEP game. Oh okay, then they come back and play 81 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.199 Washington. Okay, okay, so that'll be interesting. Well, it's always 82 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.240 gonna be every weekend. It's going to be saying how do you feel about 83 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.519 playing Wahington for the last last, the last time? How many times did 84 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.319 that question didn't get asked every time? Especially have the coaches every time? 85 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.959 Every time, have the coach, what's your fondest memory of you know, 86 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.279 yours? The good thing is a lot of the coaches nowadays are are not 87 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.839 long term guys or women. They've been here briefly. The Rember Washington coaches 88 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.360 is his second year, very long Stanford coach is going to be his first 89 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.920 year. So you know, they're not Kendres who has a great history, 90 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:53.959 the LUTs who had a great history of being in the conference against Montgomery and 91 00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:00.120 those guys lay so and and and what Fish said he had to go was 92 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.959 the last time I played a big ten, big twelve color? Oh yeah, 93 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.120 I was by two years ago and it wasn't and it wasn't a good 94 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:13.079 right right? I You know, man, I it's gonna be fun. 95 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.839 Eventually, it's gonna get be new something. You know. I'm sure you 96 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.839 go places at jail. What do you think about the big twelve? It's 97 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.279 the best move they could have done. I'm looking forward to it. I'm 98 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.319 gonna be sitting here going to the games, but sitting here talking about it. 99 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:29.040 It's no different. They're just playing different teams and it's gonna be fun 100 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.680 different because it's different. Yeah. Look, I have no hostility toward anybody 101 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.040 except USLA and USC. But I'm not gonna sit there and go up to 102 00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.199 the fans and throw the finger in their face. No, you'd than that 103 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.920 than that, even though you were in your done. I mean, well, 104 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.560 I hung out my gloves a long time ago, Steven, so I'm 105 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:47.560 not. I'm not gonna be doing any of that. I'm mad at those 106 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.560 guys. But which team is this? USC? Uclase I'm not gonna kick 107 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.800 it out. I'm not gonna go up to their fans. And it wasn't 108 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.720 for you, but heads, we wouldn't be in there because in the end, 109 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.920 I like wears one while I'm up. Yeah, yeah, everybody's everybody's 110 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.439 everybody's fine. Right. Did you did you see Chip Kelly's quote where he 111 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:10.839 said that what what we need to do is set up a conference with sixty 112 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:15.160 teams and another conference with sixty a group of five conferences with sixty teams, 113 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.040 and both teams have their own national championship and I'm like, that's where I 114 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:23.199 think we want to end up sixty and sixty with two Division one Well maybe 115 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:28.319 it's four conferences in in you know, in the sixty team division, right, 116 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.360 two national titles and then they go out after that, No, no, 117 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.480 no two titlests two deaths. Yeah, but you know there's a there's 118 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:40.160 like a like a you know, a group of five national championship and uh 119 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.600 and uh like the power of five nationals? Okay, okay, okay, 120 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.680 right, what what what is the powerful? But but you know divided him 121 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.480 Now, he's got the number wrong because there's one hundred and thirty three teams 122 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.120 in in in Division one college football. So if I think it needs to 123 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.079 be more like sixty four and whatever, you know, seventy three you know 124 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.399 something like that, right, and then how lot them up in conferences and 125 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.800 both have a national champions How many games is the does the North dakost State 126 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.959 guys do? Because when they will get into their playoffs because they have a 127 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.399 four, they have a four week playoffs, four week playoffs, so it's 128 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.600 the sixteen team single elimination tournament. Sixteen team five weeks will be thirty two. 129 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.160 You couldn't go you couldn't go ten games in a season, ten games 130 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.319 in the season and then looking up looking up their football schedule to see how 131 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:35.120 many how many games they get in in a regular season, it's it's one, 132 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.120 two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 133 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.639 nine, ten, eleven. They have an eleven game regular season. Then 134 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:48.639 it's a four uh for four weeks, sixteen team four week tournament. So 135 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.279 you know they play fifteen games, which is what? Which is what? 136 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.360 Right? You know, but there're five that's for sixteen teams, right, 137 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.600 sixteen teams. That's a sixteen team tournament. The power of five schools played 138 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.519 twelve ular season games. They have a conference championship and then when the power 139 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.000 when the when the when the twelve team tournament starts. If there's three and 140 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.559 put max of three, what did you cut at to eleven regular season? 141 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.799 Right? And then go four weeks out thirty two for what they need to 142 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.320 cut and they won't. What they need to cut are the conference championship games? 143 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:22.480 Yeah, you cut those out right? Right? When? When the 144 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.200 when? When? When the when? The when? Your conference on the 145 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.600 field, you know by by you know, having the best record in the 146 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.200 conference. But the money grab for those is is too much and we know 147 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.679 that that's that's pretty much what and that's what that's the SEC sells out of 148 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.080 its game, the Big ten cells out of its game, the ACC sells 149 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.600 out of its game. I don't know if the Big twelve does, but 150 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.320 we know those three conferences they're not going to give up their conference champions. 151 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.759 Sure, sure, no, I think we're gonna get a call here and 152 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.639 it's okay, but you know, but but that you know, and he, 153 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.600 I mean, he said, let's do that, and I'm like, 154 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.360 there there's too many people who are too greedy and grabby. Yeah, I 155 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.279 think to let that happen, that's ideally what I would like to see happen. 156 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.480 And the schools are in so much debt just two three years ago, 157 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.960 look at the money. Would what would have to happen is that mainly the 158 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.240 Big ten and the SEC are gonna have to agree to spread out the money 159 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.480 more. And I just don't think they're gonna do that. Though. We 160 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.720 have a caller. Hi, you're on the air and I on the ball. 161 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.600 Yeah, Hey this Mike Quinn. How are you guys doing? Mike? 162 00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.519 How are you? I'm doing great? What's on your mind? I 163 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.559 just I just want to circle back to your discussion on the you know, 164 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.879 how people are, how their teams are gonna feel about playing in uh, 165 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.559 playing for the PAC twelve last last time. I just don't you know. 166 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.440 So, I think that you know, guys like you, the media people 167 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.960 have been there a long time. The fans, they're gonna be really kind 168 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.240 of They may wax sentimental, but I get to feel I mean, these 169 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.559 football teams, the coaches, they don't care. All they care about is 170 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.919 the team they played next. Right, USC is playing for USC Utah. 171 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.759 They're playing for national championship in football, whether they're in the Big Sky Conference 172 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.360 or whether they're in the PAC twelve or whatever next year. Right. So 173 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.159 I just think that the teams, I don't see the team. Now you're 174 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:16.639 talking about the fans getting into it. Yeah, no, I agree with 175 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.960 that. I mean, I think the fans are gonna miss it. I 176 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.159 think the people with longevity, I think that, you know, I can't 177 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.600 wait to not have to listen to Bill Walton. But I think that the 178 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.759 teams, I think, are going to be very into it, just beating 179 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.759 the other team, you know who it is. I sat across the aisle 180 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.799 for a lot of years from the visiting section in Arizona Stadium. You know 181 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.279 how they're in the last section in section seventeen. We were on the aisle 182 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.840 of section eighteen, and we had our situations with their fans without any of 183 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.039 this going on, Like, you know, do you think there'll be some 184 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.960 back and forth where fans are, you know, within arm's length of each 185 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.120 other, sitting together at stadiums or arenas and stuff like that. I mean, 186 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.600 do you see or do you see him? They just get along and 187 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.759 say, well, we're leaving, You're leaving. Everybody's leaving getting no no, 188 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:07.720 no, So okay, so now you're talking about something different. Arizona 189 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.559 Arizona State. Uh. When Texas and Texas A and M had a divorce, 190 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.720 Uh yeah, I think that there were people that were really ticked on 191 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.559 both sides. Uh. Now they're getting back together again. Tex A and 192 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.200 M ain't ain't happy about that, right, But sure a few break up 193 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:28.639 rivalries like Arizona Arizona State, which is kind of you know, as much 194 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:35.320 as I'd love to leave Arizona as as one of the uh remaining people in 195 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.960 the Big Pact twelve, our Arizona State as one of that you know, 196 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.279 you gotta take them with you. And so Arizona, Arizona State staying together, 197 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.279 cal Stanford stayed together. Now the interesting thing is going to be things 198 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.240 like Oregon Oregon State, right, you know that's the Civil War, ain't 199 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:58.039 no more yea, And so it's that's so that's really where you're you're really 200 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.480 getting into that. I think there is going to be some issues with that. 201 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.159 There's gonna be certainly with fans. But I do think with schools and 202 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.600 uh, with players that they're gonna miss playing in those games. But let's 203 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:16.639 say the fan interaction at the two UCLA Arizona basketball games. Sure, bag 204 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.360 think I do think that there's gonna be that missing. I'm hoping Steve alluded 205 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:26.960 to that Arizona and UCLA wind up, you know, playing at home and 206 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.440 home or whatever it is during the season, because they would be good. 207 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.639 Because yeah, But but what I'm trying to get us, how do you 208 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.519 think their fans will let's say, for lack of a bed world, interact 209 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.480 with each other in these last couple of games this year. Why are they 210 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.519 pointing the fingers at each other? Are they going to be hustle to each 211 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.960 other? Or do you think they'll play nice. No, well, I 212 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.200 don't know if they'll play nice that we haven't played nice before. I don't 213 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.639 know why all of a sudden, we're gonna We're gonna give each other roses 214 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.679 and say say thank you very much. It's been fun.

That's yes, that's okay, that's for sure. That's 217 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:13.399 for sure. Yea, all right, man, thanks so hold much, 218 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.240 appreciate the call.

Hey, welcome back to Why on the Ball Here 300 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.400 on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera's jakins Ols. Now in the 301 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.440 poem, we have Kelly Pierce FC two, some women's soccer coach. How 302 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.000 are you, Kelly? I'm doing well. How are you guys? Welly, 303 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.480 thank you. We wanted to pick your brain about what the heck just 304 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.240 happened with the US women's soccer team. So many things even off the field 305 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:40.160 that may have affected on the field. What was your assessment? Well, 306 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:41.480 yeah, same things. Still trying to figure it all out. I think 307 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.319 it was really disappointing, you know, I think everybody was shocked with it. 308 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:48.960 But to be fair, going into it, I didn't I know a 309 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.440 lot of people had them favored to win, but I never really did just 310 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.960 watching, you know, the last couple of years, how they've been playing 311 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.279 and all the dynamics, like you said, on and off the field. 312 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.200 Well when you when you say that in terms on the field, I mean, 313 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.559 what what what was different about them? Or you know, what what 314 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:08.480 made you believe that maybe this wasn't you know a year for them? Well, 315 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.160 there are. I think there was a lot of things that went into 316 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.680 it. I think personnel was probably one of them, in my opinion. 317 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.920 Surprise and shocked at some of the people there. I know there were some 318 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.359 injuries and missing a little pew I think was huge, But just they weren't 319 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.559 threatening. I think the way they prepared for games, and I don't know, 320 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.519 it just seemed different than what we were used to seeing, you know, 321 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:33.039 dominating, and they just didn't seem like they were I'm not prepared. 322 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.559 I guess it's the best way I can explain it. It was disappointing. 323 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.400 I think that they did they change coaches already? Did they get rid of 324 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:47.079 the coach? Not yet, not yet happen. But you would you would 325 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:49.000 know. You would know this just as better as anybody because you want to 326 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:55.680 head coach of the self. Catholics very successful, two some women very successful, 327 00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.079 and a lot of it starts at the top. If you have even 328 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:03.480 if you have bad inmustry or whatever kind of the coach, it's you point 329 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.200 to the coach, don't you. Yeah. And of course there's the flip 330 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:08.119 side of it. You know, when you're winning, everyone loves you, 331 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.000 and then when you're losing. You're terrible, I need to go. But 332 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.319 yeah, I definitely think he made some very bizarre choices, and lack of 333 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.839 subbing being one of them. And just like I said, the personnel in 334 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.720 the subbing situation was huge and we saw that building up though again, I 335 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:27.039 think he was getting questioned for a while now, so maybe it's time so 336 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.279 right, you know, right out of the box, you know, even 337 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.200 in the in the root, in the group play, you know, they 338 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.480 were being criticized immediately because it just didn't look like they had any I don't 339 00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.160 left bounce in their step or something. Yeah, yeah, I mean was 340 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:44.920 that I mean, was that legitimate? I mean, did you do you 341 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.799 agree with the lot of that? We were watching out watch parties and like 342 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:52.240 losing our mind over it just because it looked like no urgency, no effort, 343 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.400 no heart, no passion. It just is very blah basically, and 344 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.960 we were I mean, it was. It was weird from the beginning, 345 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.000 and that's I think one of the things. That's just a lack of consistency. 346 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:03.759 And if you're going to go to the World Cup, you know you 347 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.359 have to play top notch every game. You're not going to have a chance 348 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:12.240 it's not what did you make of the former players who are now amitting in 349 00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:18.559 the media, not ripping, but just being critical of the team. We're 350 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:25.359 probably speaking of. Carly Lloyd has no filter, So I I don't think 351 00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.160 she was wrong to be honest. I know there's you either lover you hate 352 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.599 her, and you remove like who she is. But what she was saying 353 00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.319 it was not wrong. I mean the way I think it got taken out 354 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:38.079 of context a little bit. She was referring to the extreme dancing and celebration 355 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:42.559 after the really scary tie they had that they dodged the bullet with the pole 356 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.440 up the post at the end. I think she was referring to that, 357 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.680 and I agree with her. I mean, as a coach, I would 358 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.680 have been moving my mind if my players were behaving that way and acting might 359 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.799 be just you know, mercy world the team. So I think it was 360 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.519 just frustration. She's not used to seeing that and that's not her mentality and 361 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.640 it wasn't the team's mentality when she played. She's old school, which I 362 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.799 respect, So I don't disagree with her at all. So when when you 363 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.480 when you hurt all that though, I mean you said she you know she's 364 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:15.480 not wrong, but it was kind of like, you know, how do 365 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.480 you see it seemed like there were too many people rooting against this team, 366 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.039 and then that maybe that gets to the off the field stuff, you know, 367 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.119 where you know some of these you know, some of these athletes are 368 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.279 you know, they've got opinions, they've you know, they can you can 369 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.240 cause some of them polarizing, you know, which I I you know, 370 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.319 my take on that is, you know, so often we want athletes to 371 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.759 use their platform, and then in this particular case, they were, but 372 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.480 some people didn't like their platform, so people were rooting against the team in 373 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.759 a lot of respects. Yeah, I mean, it's you can see on 374 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:51.720 social media how it seems like more people were happy that they went out than 375 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:55.279 not. And I think some of it when you know, we want to 376 00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:59.039 use our platform when you can. But I think some types of politics, 377 00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.039 I just think it overcome locates things and it can create problems within the team 378 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:06.359 in the chemistry because I can guarantee they don't all have the same belief about 379 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:10.880 everything, So I think it can create some issues and it probably did. 380 00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.319 I think everyone knows Routino's one of those ones. And I think there's a 381 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.559 time to like speak on certain things and then there's just been obnoxious. And 382 00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:22.839 I think she went to the obnoxious in my opinion, which I'll probably get 383 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.160 hate for that, but I think a lot of issues for the team. 384 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.079 No, no, I was going to ask you about her, and you 385 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.039 can speak to whatever you feel about her, but another polarizing person. And 386 00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:37.279 she didn't play that much and then when she did, she didn't do what 387 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.319 you expect from her. Well, she did what most of us expected, 388 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:45.160 which was not much. She had her time. She was a great player, 389 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.640 and I think that's a huge thing. You know, I had to 390 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.240 do it myself. You have to know enough is enough and your time is 391 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:52.839 up. And I think probably went on a little too long because she has 392 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.559 been known to be really great at set pieces and she could place the ball 393 00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:02.119 wherever, but it was very inconsistent, especially that last scheme. She couldn't 394 00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:04.799 even hit a corner correctly, so underheating everything. It was just and I 395 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:10.640 think that also goes into lack of art and passion in my opinions at her. 396 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.480 Well, you've set up you know before we went on the air, 397 00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:17.599 that you stayed up and watched all the matches and sounds like you're pulling your 398 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.920 hair out or just you know, it was tough for you. It was 399 00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.480 a tough thing to do, especially when you're staying up that late. I 400 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.839 had some friends, you know, they were talking about Facebook. I stayed 401 00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:29.200 up for this, and you know people were upset. Yeah, I mean, 402 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.279 I think that's what true fans do. You know, my mom was 403 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.119 up as well and some of my friends, and we're all on our couches 404 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.279 by herself, you know, texting back and forth, complaining and criticizing, 405 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.799 which is always easy to do from afar. So I think it was just 406 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.680 disappointing because you want them to do well, especially like the Julie Earth, 407 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:47.359 you know, you see her and even our goal Tieper. I think she 408 00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:49.759 had a great game and she came up big, and it was just I 409 00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.920 think it was a crush for a lot of us. So we see this 410 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.000 in other sports. We saw this in the NBA. Let's just use us 411 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:02.519 as an example for you. There was there was the United States was dominant 412 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.640 basketball. The coaches went out to Europe or wherever, and they began teaching 413 00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:08.759 the sport. Thirty years later this year, these your parents are coming in 414 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.880 and doing really, really well. Has the game of soccer now reached that 415 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:17.799 point, especially in the women's where the other teams are catching up or was 416 00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.880 it just a one off? No, I think it's a combination for sure. 417 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.880 I definitely think the other teams are catching up, are half caught up, 418 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.200 I should say, and have become dominant. There's if you I don't 419 00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.000 know if you've got to champ to watch any of the other teams, but 420 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.839 there's some really talents of teams. And that's why for us through like hardcore 421 00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:38.400 fans like this cannot be the best you know, twenty something in the country, 422 00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.759 Like I just feel like some of them are a little washed up. 423 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:45.319 And so I think that again, personnel played a role in it. I'm 424 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.680 probably the coaching and the decisions, and then you know, when you have 425 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:51.559 the rest of the worlds catching up to you, you gotta do better. 426 00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:57.359 Okay, So we're making you the the czar or czars of women's US women's 427 00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:00.519 soccer. What you know, what do you do? What's the what's the 428 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.039 next thing to do? And how would you if you want to say, 429 00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.920 fix it or make it better or get it back to where it was? 430 00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.079 What's what would you do well. I think it's a totally different generation now 431 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.720 and so things have changed and how you approach it I think is different. 432 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:18.720 And that's why I think, you know, the carly Lloyds are frustrated with 433 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.400 it, and even me like it's not going to be the same. You 434 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.440 have to approach it differently. I wish I had all the answers, otherwise 435 00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:30.480 they'd be undefeated and everything. So it's hard. I think you may need 436 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.440 to reflect on the roster probably and look at the personnel that they chose. 437 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.000 I think we had really Obviously there's Alex Morgan, and you have Sophia Smith 438 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:42.319 and Rodman and all those players, and even Lynn Williams and Thompson. They're 439 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:45.359 all the kind of players that want to go at you. They like to 440 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:47.559 one to be ones, they like taking you on, but they're not like 441 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:52.000 a back to goal kind of players. So just getting more variety of those 442 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.400 players I think is huge because we had some possession, but possessions not going 443 00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.960 to win the game. So I think finishing was a huge bust for us, 444 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.839 and that's where hurt the personality to start and probably the staff. Yeah, 445 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:07.119 let me ask you this maybe overstated at least I think it is sometimes 446 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.000 so these women have been icons for a long time, a lot of them, 447 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.400 and the little girls today, the ones you coach from a long time 448 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:19.079 for a long time, kind of idolize these these women. Maybe I'm wrong 449 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.480 there, Maybe maybe I'm right. Do they and and how does it affect 450 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.920 the little girls growing up wanted to play soccer? Or Am I overstating stuff? 451 00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.519 No? I think it's totally does. I think a lot of them 452 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:36.359 idolize them. And I think not just little girls, but like older girls. 453 00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:40.640 I think there's so many lack of better with fan girls out there that 454 00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:44.400 really love some of these players. And I think it's good for the game. 455 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.200 I think them being off the field doing stuff is good for the game 456 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.680 and it shows them how to represent being a female on what it means for 457 00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:55.119 female athletes. But at the same time, I just think there's a boundary 458 00:29:55.160 --> 00:30:00.359 obviously when to overstep and you know where to keep your focus. I guess. 459 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.359 M okay, okay, real quick, you start with with the Cell 460 00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:12.400 Point girls going after four or three? Which is it? Titles six? 461 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:21.440 I'm sorry, so Steve was counting on his hands forgot he had another don't 462 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:26.519 make me don't make me real naps please. So that's produced. Six will 463 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.559 come on now. And I joke with you, all you do is win. 464 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:33.839 But in another is there pressure on you to do that? Yeah? 465 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:40.480 I think so. I definitely feel it more pressure on myself than outside. 466 00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:44.519 I think it's anyone that knows me. No, I'm my biggest critics, 467 00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:47.519 So I think there's that. And then knowing all these girls, you know, 468 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:51.839 they come they expected. Almost anybody that's plays for me knows there's nothing 469 00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:53.960 painted to you. And you know, just like I said, we're fucking 470 00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.799 on the women's team, Consistency is huge. Whether you're playing a team that 471 00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:02.680 hasn't won a game in two years or you're playing the Pharmer State champion. 472 00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:06.000 You just got to rise above every time and step up which game. It's 473 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.799 funny that give me pressure. It's funny when we have coaches like you on 474 00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.920 I say, there's one thing to get there, and to get there, 475 00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:15.839 it's in a different, different dynamic. When you get there and you have 476 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:21.000 to stay there, and you've stayed there a long time, how do you 477 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.759 keep the girls grounded to say, Okay, you know this is a new 478 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.920 year, this is not what you did last year. Yeah, that's usually 479 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:32.039 the biggest thing is to humble them quickly and remind them no matter what's happened 480 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:33.519 in the past. If anything, it's gonna be harder for us because we 481 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.240 have a bigger target. Just remind me one day at a time, when 482 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.839 practice at a time, and again, everything comes through hard work and respecting 483 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.200 you, just being a good teammate and will reflect on the field. But 484 00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:55.599 it's definitely a tallenge just because everybody watch so now keeping them a struggle sometimes 485 00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:57.000 yeah, so so again, don't don't make me run enough out of this 486 00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:04.279 question. So you one of those coaches that doesn't mind the adversity maybe a 487 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.119 loss and not that you're playing for the loss, but if you get that 488 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:13.119 loss, it kind of refocuses the group. Yeah, absolutely, that's huge. 489 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.599 I think it reminds them that everyone's eatable. I think it's a good 490 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:20.720 humbly moment. It's a good moment to test them and see their character and 491 00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:22.400 same with me, to see what kind of adjustments we need to make. 492 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:27.400 You know, I obviously never like to lose, but it's early in the 493 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.680 season. It's not you know, it matter about the end. It's not 494 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:34.160 a sprain it's a marathon. So okay, okay, I'm glad you don't 495 00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:36.839 have to make me run sprints or a marathon, and I'll be okay. 496 00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:43.000 Thanks, ke appreciate you, thank you. Thanks right. Well, good 497 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.440 insight. It was kind of kind of the same thing that everyone's been saying. 498 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:50.079 These girls kind of got full of themselves. They did and didn't and 499 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.960 didn't.

I don't know to go find out when I when I put up 560 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.199 the podcast, see what it sounds like. I think we said anything bad 561 00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.320 for the most I mean, I'm sitting here trying to get more stuff for 562 00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:22.840 breaking news.

Anybody want to call five two zero four one, six seventy four 566 00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:34.960 forty, give us a call, give us a call, give us your 567 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.960 thoughts on whatever's going on. How much attention did you pay to the women's 568 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:42.480 soccer stuff? I didn't. I followed him just because I mean I didn't. 569 00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:45.440 I didn't watch the match, but I know that when the when the 570 00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:50.920 Sweden match rolled around the game it out the match had already been played when 571 00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:54.800 I got out, and but it was on on on delay and I started 572 00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:59.960 watching it. But then I wanted to, you know, started looking through 573 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.800 Twitter like shot pretty much every morning, and you was gonna come up. 574 00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:07.960 So instead of you know, I wasn't looking for the score to see what 575 00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:09.360 happened, and I thought they lost. Yeah, So then I watched. 576 00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:13.840 I watched the end of it to see how how it happened. But you 577 00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:15.239 know, I mean, I don't watch a ton of soccer. I pay 578 00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:22.199 attention to the world up you know, uh, you know around super Bowl, 579 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.360 you know, we make a shot, we'll make a bet that has 580 00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.239 you a soccer bet tied to a super Bowl bet. But I don't watch 581 00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:31.719 it. But I got interested because again I was hearing so much. Right, 582 00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:35.199 well, I thought they would win it, There's no questions about that. 583 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:39.039 When they didn't beat somebody the first team three when but they didn't kill 584 00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:43.280 the first team and they were supposed to They won three zero, and then 585 00:38:43.480 --> 00:38:45.280 the next one they struggled I think it was, and they tied, and 586 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.199 then they tied again. They tied. It was just like, what's going 587 00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.239 on? They just can't score on what's going on? And you should and 588 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.840 Kelly talked about you know, the people on the on the team, the 589 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:58.440 rush back. Uh, this didn't have any strikers, they didn't have any 590 00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.280 scores. Right. It really really struck me when Carly Lloyd ripped on him 591 00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.880 because I know who Carly Lloyd is. Yeah, and when she ripped on 592 00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.760 like, no, wait a minute, there's something bad on him. Let's 593 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.679 take this call higher on their own on the ball. How's it going today? 594 00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:17.199 What's up? Right? I'll just call about at twelve and their fans 595 00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:21.280 and how they feel about it. Okay, and your thoughts. I think 596 00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:25.239 most fans would rather stay in the packet, right, you know when if 597 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:30.639 Ucla USC you know, this was not done on the backs of the fans. 598 00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:34.119 This is done because the schools needed more money. And that's it, 599 00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:38.039 no question. But do you think do you think the fans? Do you 600 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:44.679 think the fans like, say UCLA and Arizona in basketball, Uh, Arizona 601 00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:50.599 and let's say USC and Ucla or whoever in football? How are they going 602 00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:53.960 to react to each other when they're near each other at games and stuff. 603 00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:59.599 I don't think there's gonna be a problem because the fans didn't make this decision 604 00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:02.719 Okay, you know, I don't think the guy I said there going, 605 00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:06.719 oh you guys, you guys did this whatever, And I don't think it 606 00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:09.800 shouldn't matter the fans. You know, the schools decided to do this, 607 00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:16.159 and I'm sure the fans from California love to come here or the Phoenix, 608 00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:20.920 you know, when they play in their game, whether football or whatever. 609 00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:25.480 Instead of traveling all the way, you know, to the Midwest, they 610 00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:30.239 would rather stay right where we're at. And I think the U of A 611 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:34.039 fans are basically looking at it the same way. We would rather go see 612 00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:39.079 a game at UCLA or USC or Stanford organ whatever instead of traveling to Waco. 613 00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:44.719 But unfortunately, reality is we can't do that. So, so, 614 00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:46.400 Brian, I know you're we have to live with we have. So, 615 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:49.800 Brian, I know you're a big fan. I was with some fans last 616 00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:51.800 night and they said, well, how can they can't move the thing to 617 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.800 bigg assistance. They're not going to do that. That's you know, It's 618 00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:57.880 like inviting me to your house and then ask into your house and then me 619 00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:00.760 saying could you with the furniture? No, I don't think so, but 620 00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:04.320 we we've already said Brian that the Arizona fans don't travel, well, they're 621 00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:07.920 already at these events. Do you know fans that that travel? Do you 622 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:12.559 know fans that actually spend money to travel in the regular season, not so 623 00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:17.039 much the postseason. Yes, I do. Yeah, only the California schools. 624 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:23.679 I mean the STA not Stanfurger now you ula usc okay, because it's 625 00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.079 you know, it's like eight hour drive and there you are. Yeah, 626 00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:29.920 but that's not that bad. But that's it. But the other one is 627 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:31.760 to Washington and Oregons. I don't think so. I don't know that many 628 00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:36.639 people who make that trip exactly, they get the charter, has its charter 629 00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:39.320 and it has its boosters and has its you know fans that way, maybe 630 00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:44.320 a hundred or so whatever. But outside of that, no, I will 631 00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:47.800 say that the only the only road trips I've taken where that I wasn't part 632 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:51.199 of a booster trip or something like that. I went to Washington once. 633 00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:53.800 I probably went to cal maybe three times. That was on your own. 634 00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:59.800 And I went to Stanford one because just to go. I love San Francisco, 635 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.519 right was always cool, you know, trip to Scomas and all that 636 00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.760 stuff. Went to the Bay Area, I mean went to went to uh, 637 00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.880 why it was a long time ago too, That wasn't all of those 638 00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:14.360 were in the Dictomia year. Yeah, so that's a long time ago. 639 00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:16.840 Not too many Britton. I mean, they can talk about travel blah blah 640 00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:20.800 blah. They don't you have a bunch of lombs? Do you have a 641 00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.559 bunch of loans in those in those locations? Right? You know? And 642 00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:29.599 I really think that once, you know, we get situated in the conference, 643 00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:36.079 maybe we'll develop some rivalries. Besides possibility of the Arizona Danzas basketball. 644 00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:39.639 That may be the only rivalry I can see basically happening right off the bat. 645 00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:44.199 But otherwise we're going to have to develop some rivalries. I don't know 646 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:46.760 what they're going to be. Well, well, Ka fans hate everybody. 647 00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:52.199 We hate everybody. I already already hate the fans. They may find up 648 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:59.639 hating Baylor more than they do. You're right, I actually think this will 649 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:06.559 ellerate the b YU old by u Utah West. I think this will awaken 650 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:12.840 wind up probably playing a cow I mean a cow Colorado by u Utah a 651 00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:15.360 s u you know, and and on our on our group or whatever. 652 00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:21.039 Maybe we won't have to travel to Central Florida or West Virginia for every three 653 00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:23.519 or four years. Yeah, but I mean they're smart. I'll do it 654 00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:27.960 that way. Yeah. I think that. I think the BYU rivalry revs 655 00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.599 up again because you know, we've we've played them over the years, and 656 00:43:31.719 --> 00:43:35.480 you know, nobody likes each other, and it's going to be interesting. 657 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.039 And now we're back in the same conference with them for the first time since 658 00:43:38.320 --> 00:43:43.480 nineteen seventy seven. Yeah. I just don't think there's going to be much 659 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:47.639 animosity between fans because they're really this is not the fans decision. This is 660 00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:50.840 the school's decision. I know. But I'm going to go out and create 661 00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:53.440 something because I well, that's because that's who you are. You know, 662 00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:58.360 you're always trying, You're always trying to find a way to pick a fight. 663 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:01.400 He says, Oh, I'm out of that game now, he's out 664 00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:06.519 of the weight class. You know. I can just see it. The 665 00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.360 first conference game we have at home, I'll be at probably in the first 666 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:15.360 quarter, I'll be hauling some guy off. It's gonna be Jay. What 667 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:20.559 happened to Wow? Some guys, some young kids just came over and clocked 668 00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:22.719 him, all right, Brian, Hey, thanks so much. Man. 669 00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.280 You know again, we've hung up our gloves. We're not We're not doing 670 00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:32.599 that. You know. It's funny because I at at this breakfast club that 671 00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:36.920 I worked for. Then I go on Tuesday morning. There's a guy in 672 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:42.920 there, a retired guy who played football at Oklahoma in the fifties, all 673 00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.480 right, and so I see him for the first I walk into the I 674 00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:46.960 walk into the breakfast for the first time, and he's there, and I 675 00:44:47.119 --> 00:44:51.079 just he always comes up and helps me with the steps. He comes talking 676 00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:53.360 to me, said, I'm mad at you. You're mad at me? 677 00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:57.360 What did I do? I said, you and your crap school started all 678 00:44:57.440 --> 00:45:00.400 this. It's your fault that the pact PWEL was dead. He was looking 679 00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:04.320 at me like I was serious. So we had a funny conversation. You're 680 00:45:04.360 --> 00:45:07.639 you're part of that group, and in my mind it's it's an upper group. 681 00:45:07.719 --> 00:45:10.440 It's an upper people group. People with money. Yeah, so do 682 00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:15.079 they do they travel? People with money travel, and they have traveled from 683 00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:17.119 here to there? Yeah, not not USC. I'm talking other than the 684 00:45:17.239 --> 00:45:22.880 USC and uc LS. Well look, look, uh, the Bay Area 685 00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:24.880 was always a fun trip. You know, any game in the Bay area. 686 00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:28.639 There were a lot of fans there and a lot of fans traveled to 687 00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.199 that because fans from two it's not love going for the weekend, for the 688 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:35.920 weekend, for the for the weekend. And so that was that was one. 689 00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:38.360 But you know, I don't know so much about you know, Oregons, 690 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:44.639 the Oregons and the Washington's, even the Utah's in Colorado. Now, 691 00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:51.480 we did travel to Colorado, did you know a fan trip to Colorado scoops 692 00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:53.079 last year? And the reason for that couple of reason. One, we 693 00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:57.320 wanted to go to Denver too. We had a very close friend that was 694 00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:01.760 living there that you told us with bars to go to and where to stay 695 00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:06.320 and what to do, sort of a host for us. So we had 696 00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.840 that connection. She was great, she had she had gone to school at 697 00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:14.440 Colorado and then stayed you know for a job, and so she showed us 698 00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:17.039 around and we had an incredible time. It's a horrible game. It was 699 00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.400 thirty below zero. It's freezing. Would did you know you wouldn't gone. 700 00:46:21.719 --> 00:46:22.639 It was freezing, it was windy, it was cold. It was a 701 00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:25.679 day game, but we froze. But we had a great time before the 702 00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:28.440 game. We had a great time the night before the game, We had 703 00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:30.000 a great time. After the game, we still had a great time. 704 00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:35.079 And so I'm kind of happy. That's sort of like the only road trip 705 00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:38.800 that I see myself taking in the future. I don't know that I want 706 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:42.960 to go particul to go to Salt Lake City. I'm certain I'm not going 707 00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.920 to Provo. I'm pretty certain I'm not going to Wake Oh. I don't 708 00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:47.599 think I'm going to love it. You know, the only road trip I 709 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:52.920 see in the PAC twelve going forward for me as a fan is Colorado, 710 00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:57.519 right right, right, And that's in football specific, and that's football specific. 711 00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.840 And let's assume this, no this for a second from basketball, which 712 00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.840 you're gonna have even better rivalries and better better games. There's only a number 713 00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:07.760 of tickets. There's only a certain number of tickets, right, So if 714 00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.800 you have one hundred tickets, those babies already gone. Well, you know, 715 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:13.320 people think they're all gonna go to the go to the Kansas game. 716 00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:15.719 You know who's gonna get the visiting tickets to the Kansas game? The booster 717 00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:20.480 playing sure right, sure they're gonna you know, everything is going to create 718 00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:23.360 a package, and they're gonna take a hundred boosterswever many tickets because you don't 719 00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:27.079 get a bunch of tickets for basketball, Paul Gallen, is it you? 720 00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:31.239 You know it's not twenty one thousands? So you know everybody, Oh, 721 00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:34.880 I can't wait for you. Yes, you can get you. You'll be 722 00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:37.400 able to come to the home game if you're a season ticket holder, but 723 00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:38.840 good luck eating in your hand on the ticket if you're not sure, and 724 00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:42.920 those tickets may already be gone. Yeah, yeah, so you know, 725 00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:46.960 but it's you know, you realize that you're paying on how the schedule falls. 726 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:52.039 In twenty in the twenty twenty four twenty five season, we might have 727 00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:59.920 Duke and Kansas at Mchale'll be fantastic. Would that be in the year Steve? 728 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:00.920 You say, oh, man, I can't believe you sang that. 729 00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:06.480 I remember when that song came out. And it's gonna be. It's gonna 730 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:12.239 be, but you know it's gonna be. It's gonna be fun. Look, 731 00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:15.880 and I'm gonna enjoy seeing Arizona play different teams and stuff like that. 732 00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:19.239 I'm gonna miss the old one. But you know, to me, to 733 00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.599 me having covered basketball all these years, it's a step up. It's gonna 734 00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:29.280 be a fun step up because the league itself is gonna be fantastic. You're 735 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:30.800 not gonna say, oh, okay Oregon State Kims, kims. No, 736 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:36.159 No, you're gonna see Taylor's coming. Uh, Houston, Houston's coming. 737 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:40.199 If he's still there. Kellvin Samson returns here. Uh, great story there 738 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:45.079 because people in the mckill used to love him. Yea great guy. Yeah, 739 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:46.360 so you know it's gonna be a lot of great story here. But 740 00:48:46.440 --> 00:48:52.000 he was a great guy. No, it's all cool, fine, right, 741 00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:58.159 it's all forgotten. But no, I think that again, getting back 742 00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:05.559 to the original. Uh, the original discussion is that how the fans were. 743 00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.719 Yeah, the fans of the fans, and and outside of the students, 744 00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:12.840 outside of the students, and maybe some two or three behind you, 745 00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:17.119 they're they're okay, okay, and you play if you're listening, you know, 746 00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.000 well, there's a reason we don't sit across the aisle from the visiting 747 00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:23.239 fans and work because we just couldn't do that. You know, we're far 748 00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:27.280 away from them. Now, we occasionally get some fans and there was I 749 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:32.679 think it was God, there was a Washington game that I'm football football Arizona 750 00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:37.159 didn't win the game, but was in it up there up here. They 751 00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:40.840 were like four guys behind us who they started out really rowdy and we're kind 752 00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:45.559 of obnoxious, and then we were like, you know, guys, we're 753 00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:46.840 not you're you know, you're not in the Washington section, you know, 754 00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:50.599 because they were being brought and they're kind of a little bulgard and stuff. 755 00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:53.519 We just turned just in general. They were just loud and obnoxious and f 756 00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:57.880 bombs and we just gotta say, hey, guys, you know, don't 757 00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.639 come down just a little. There were Arizona guys. No they're oh they 758 00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:01.280 said, okay, yeah, they're watching guys. We said, hey, 759 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:04.880 can we just you know, and they were great and then we were friendly 760 00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:07.320 with them and we talked on them, you know, and stuff like that. 761 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:09.519 And that's that's kind of what we look for. You know, everybody 762 00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:13.920 wants to have their funds. Did you look for the people that sold their 763 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.800 tickets to these guys? Yeah? You know, well see, up until 764 00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:21.719 up until this year, there weren't a lot of season tickets around us. 765 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:23.840 I did go looking because I needed one more season ticket for my daughter, 766 00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:28.159 and I looked all the seats around us are sold for this year. Yeah, 767 00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.159 yeah, no, that's great. There's someone told me they were looking 768 00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:34.559 for me to come back.
