00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.120
A young guy. Um. You

15

record setting season with the fourth place
finished in the one hundred meter hurdles on

22
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.239
the final day for the Wall Cuts. She was amazing. Yeah, I

23
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.120
wanted to see if we try to
get her on again as you did you

24
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.359
watch the finals? Did you watch? No? But I saw the video

25
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.319
of her running straight down. I'm
like, dang, you know what's the

26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.879
first thing I'd say, what do
you think about when you're going down?

27
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.719
Don't hit them? Don't don't hit
one? Do you have your eye on

28
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.359
one thing? And you just kind
of you know what you had her on.

29
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.920
That was very impressive. I didn't
because it say how you finished,

30
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.000
right? But you don't know?
But in the video, yeah you didn't

31
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.159
know. You didn't know, and
you knew she didn't win because you would

32
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.960
been excited. But you're thinking that's
that's pretty amazing. Yeah, pretty much.

33
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.639
Have you ever tried to jump over
those hurdles? They're tall? Yeah?

34
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.000
Yeah, no, I wouldn't.
I've tried. I wasn't able to

35
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:22.400
they are they are tall. Step
and nibbles, stepie quick that. Yeah,

36
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.879

00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.639
on that one. No, okay, I think they just figured that out.

44
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.240
Yeah, I want I would you
play another game in Vegas? I

45
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.159
want to go back to Vegas.
We're not doing that for a while.

46
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.199
I don't think the biggest basketball basketball
they're going to play Vegas in basketball.

47
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:14.120
Michigan State Michigan States in California,
who's the Vegas? They have a game

48
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.120
of Big Alabama's from Phoenix. I
don't know how it's too old dudes talking

49
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:24.280
about Okay, um, some national
news Toronto's rap Toronto Raptors all start a

50
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.479
guard Fred van Vleet has declined in
twenty two point a million dollar player option

51
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:34.520
and will become an unerstricted free Asian
in July. Can you imagine the rolling

52
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.800
the dice on something like that,
Steve, because he doesn't know if he's

53
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.680
gonna get more than that somewhere he
thinks he is. Yeah, but yeah,

54
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.439
I don't think you will. But
I think you might want to go

55
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.159
to a new like scene, new
scenery, a different better team probably you

56
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.280
know, such play money. Yeah. Um, would you guys mind if

57
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.639
you did end up in Phoenix or
would you not? One? No?

58
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.599
That would be good for them.
Okay, they need they need something right

59
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.800
there they won't have. I don't
think they're gonna have. We talk about

60
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.879
Chris Paul or or Andre Okay,
they need they need shooters for sure.

61
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.719
That that whole trade kind of everyone's
excited. I don't know why. Yeah,

62
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:15.680
I mean showed it definitely did.
Yeah, Yeah, we'll see Miami's

63
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.240
Tyler Hero, who was upgraded to
questionable. He's expected to see before tonight's

64
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:24.160
game UM after suffering a fractured hand
in Game one versus the Bucks. All

65
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.360
Right, well, you know they
need all the help they can get.

66
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.279
Man, Sure, I think I
still think this this thing's over tonight.

67
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.199
Yeah, I do as well.
They're just again we keep saying it,

68
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.199
the Nuggets, they're just better.
Yeah, they say they're just They're just

69
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.600
they're you know, yeah, you
got yo. But it's not like a

70
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.240
bunch of flashy guys. They just
go out and kick your ass exactly.

71
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.839
That's why I liked them so much. And I think if Murray, who

72
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.079
hadn't been healthy the last two years
place, I'm thinking they're gonna be good.

73
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.920
Yeah, for sure, I'm moving
forward. As long as they're healthy're

74
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.839
gonna be the best team, if
not one of the best things in the

75
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.720
because they're simple good. Yeah,
like they play basketball the right way.

76
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:05.120
So yeah yeah. Um. The
Giants franchise running back sae Quon Barkley confirmed

77
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:10.519
after the Sequon Barkley Youth Football Camp
in New Jersey City UM today that he

78
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.160
will not be at his team's many
mandatory mini camp this week. Um,

79
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.519
Barkley still hasn't signed his franchise at
tender, so he's still questioning if he's

80
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:21.560
gonna be back. Yeah, money
situations again. You know, one of

81
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.319
those running backs though that can't you
know, can't get a deal right and

82
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.279
uh and they just you know,
they just kind of churn them out.

83
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.519
So, Um, the Jecksons are
adding JJ Watch to their ring of honor

84
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:39.439
on October one when they host TJ
and the Pistwick Steelers. He's you know

85
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.120
yeah, I mean he's he's the
face of He was the face of that

86
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.879
franchise for for a while years.
Yeah, so called him to that.

87
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.759
Um, I don't have any other
all right, Um, just some Sugar

88
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.399
Skulls number that they won on Saturday, big win on Saturday, forty seven

89
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.879
forty three against Duke City. It
wasn't an amazing game. Um. Once

90
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.319
again, I know we keep we
keep trumpeting this, but this game was.

91
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.240
It was just nuts from the very
first, very first possession of the

92
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.720
game. Uh, the Sugar Skulls
get a strip on a on a on

93
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.279
a sack scoop and score and it
was just nuts from then on. Neither

94
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.079
team led by more than a touchdown
the whole rest of the game. It

95
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:23.040
came down to the very Actually they
had one extra play so went beyond the

96
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:29.920
clock. Um. The Sugar Skulls
were up by four. Duke City had

97
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:31.720
the ball on the two and a
half yard line. The quarterback ran up

98
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.759
the middle. Uh, he got
tackled, tried to reach for the goal

99
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:41.040
line with the ball dropped the ball
UM it hit short of the goal line.

100
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:43.720
Uh. There was a big scramble
for it in the corner of the

101
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.560
end zone. Tucson came up with
the ball, but they challenged whether or

102
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.160
not he got to the line before
he fumbled. UM clearly had not.

103
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:58.000
Sugar Skulls whin the win the challenge
and win the game, but it was

104
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.839
it was a well. The Sugar
Skulls sure or to take the league with

105
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.839
sixteen seconds left, and Duke said
he still had the time to go down

106
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.519
there and almost get a score to
win the game. No lead is safe,

107
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.399
none, so I'm not I've been
I spent some time with some Diamondback

108
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:14.000
fans over the weekend, and I'm
not aware that they're doing this creaty,

109
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.519
but they're doing well, and I
was just gonna say. So they have

110
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.000
a lead, a nice little lead
on the three half games on the Dodgers.

111
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.879
They're playing out of their minds and
the Dodgers were only three games back.

112
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:27.160
Well, the Dodgers went the Dodgers
went on a on a road trip

113
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.040
against the Reds in the Phillies.
They got lucky that they had to play

114
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.879
the Reds when they called that kid
up, that's just tearing up the league.

115
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.720
So they lost. They lost two
out of three of the Reds,

116
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.839
and both losses were on walkoffs.
And then they lost two out of three

117
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.519
to the to the to the Phillies, and one of those losses was a

118
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.639
walk up. So they lost four
games and three of them on walking and

119
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.759
they lost a little ground on the
Diamondbacks. I don't even know, they're

120
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.480
three and a half games behind the
I don't know who's on that dumb roster.

121
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.360
But Lovella was about to be fired
last year. Yeah, no,

122
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.079
he's well, I know Zach Gallen, who's a pitcher on my fantasy team.

123
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.079
He's just he's like eight and three
or something like that. He's he's

124
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.480
leading, he's leading candidate for the
cy Young right now, that that's what

125
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.920
guys. I don't know who the
rest of them are, but they're they're

126
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.040
playing really well. They're in first
place, and they're first place by three

127
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.079
and a half. So um,
you know, I'm still not sitting here

128
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.879
thinking that the Diamondbacks haven't because they
you know, they got it. Still

129
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.240
got to get to the end of
the season, but certainly, you know,

130
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.800
and they gave and they've recently gave
Lavallo an extension through twenty twenty five,

131
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.519
so well, he's gonna be around
the extra year. So here's here's

132
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.279
another one. I got a text
from one of our listeners this morning about

133
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:37.559
the Oklahoma picture. Oh yeah,
uh leaving Oklahoma, and I didn't look

134
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.279
at it. I just you just
sent to me, and I'm taking,

135
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.720
wouldn't it be great if she came
here and it would change the game for

136
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.399
Arizona And she's going back to the
breast But the girl is a stood well

137
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.039
and I see that without any reservation, you know. And that goes to

138
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.279
the thing that we talked a little
bit about with with Robins on the transfer

139
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.240
port. The transferport, you don't
even have to not like where you are

140
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.919
and say, you know what,
I want to go somewhere else. You

141
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.200
know, she talked about how much
she loved being there. Her and you

142
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.120
know her, there was a in
the story because I read the story that

143
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.799
her and the coach, you know, just you know, gushed on each

144
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.480
other and stuff like that. But
she just wanted to go home. She

145
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.600
was the best player in Oklahoma's team. She was the MVP of the or

146
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.039
MP most Outstanding Player in the College
World Series. Um, you know,

147
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.559
she won a bunch of games.
She was the best pitcher in the country

148
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:26.960
and says, you know what,
I don't want to play here anymore.

149
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.840
I want to go home, and
she's gonna go back to Nebraska when you

150
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.039
know, I mean, the belief
is that Oklahoma is gonna win another championship

151
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.919
next year. And yet she said, you know, I won my two

152
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.360
championships. I'm going somewhere else.
So, I mean, seen her played

153
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.799
last couple of years on she just
fantastic. Yeah, it's just fantastic.

154
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.159
Kind of reminded me of of Jenny
Finch in that dominating type of way,

155
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.639
the dominant picture. Yeah, fantastic. She did have their one loss though

156
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:54.919
this year. Good for her.
I remember I was earli in the year.

157
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.080
Yeah, she was the one who
lost the one game they went with

158
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.120
fifty eight and one or something like
that. Fantastic crazy number. Yeah,

159
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.240
tomorrow we'll have a you, a
former you of a softball player on to

160
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.759

world has come to since she's been gone

161
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.360
in terms of college softball, the
state of the state of the state of

162
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.399
the situation in the sport. Okay, for this is this is a George

163
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:20.600
Marty's question from sports Car. Oh

Last? Uh? The five hundred thousand

166
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.039
not enough? Well, seventy five
hundred, see if I thought seven hundred

167
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.000

a question for him because I was with

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.399
some cousin who who's a cousin of
his, and he has a couple of

169
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.279
sports illustrated and I sent that to
to George. He said, as like

171
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:58.159

00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:05.240
he sent you that, he said, I got treeted out by sports.

173
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.919
In fact, we're gonna have him
on soon to talk about the reveal with

174
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:11.200
Chris. Remember that car, that
card, that little card that he had,

175
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.200
how much how much it was worth
on because he paid he paid an

176
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.759
X amount for it? But now
what's the real value of the cards?

177
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:20.559
The final little thing. I found
it, Actually I didn't find. My

178
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.159
son found it in some of my
in laws. My mother likes to live

179
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.759
where my son lives now, so
in the garages a bunch of boxes.

180
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:33.480
So he was going through some boxes. He found four football programs. Five

181
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.519
football you have a football programs,
one from nineteen fifty eight and three from

182
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:41.279
nineteen fifty nine. They were so
cool. Yeah, you go in there

183
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:48.279
and you look at the pictures.
The guy who was the dean of boys

184
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.039
at my high school, at Sarrel
High School, the late Bill Isme,

185
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:58.480
was on that team. Carl Haslett, who was the president or the executive

186
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.480
director, oh, the chairman of
the board of the Conquista doors all the

187
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.720
way back to when I was covering
golf. He was on the team.

188
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.440
Carl Haslett was his name. He
was like he was at lawyer. I

189
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.600
probably not because he was really old
back then. Um, but going through

190
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.879
I mean Jim LaRue was the was
the UH was the football coach of Fred

191
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:24.120
Ank Junior was the basketball coach or
Fred innk was the basketball coach. UM.

192
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.679
The program was like probably thirty pages, really cool with pictures of all

193
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:33.799
the players, and they played b
white the four games and the fifth and

194
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.600
what was doing it was just I
was in a box and I don't know,

195
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:37.440
you know, I was asking my
wife, would you know, would

196
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.759
your dad or your mom have gone
to those games and kept those programs for

197
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.720
some reasons. She had no idea
why those would have been there, But

198
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.960
they are. I'm gonna see if
they want to move at the u of

199
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.480
A. But really cool because I
remember those and the programs would cost twenty

200
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:56.919
five cents. Twenty five cents.
They're all black and white, but all

201
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.440
you know, stories and pictures of
everybody, and it had uh it had

202
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.879
a page on other sports and but
you know, a throwback. It was

203
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.399
really cool to go through those,
those those programs, the four from nineteen

204
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:11.480
fifteen, one from the year after
the year I was born, so I

205
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.279
was I was a baby when those
games were played. But it's Colorado.

206
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:24.759
There's a Colorado by u UM,
I think Wyoming and I can't remember who

207
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.039
the other who the other team went
Idaho, Idaho one are the teams that

208
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.000
they played in on the in those
games. And like Idaho was a big

209
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.399
deal, right, Uh that they
were. They were kind of you know,

210
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.879
there hadn't been this division yet of
the schools the way they are now,

211
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.879
where Idaho is like basically a minor
league, uh college college program.

212
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.600
They're really cool. Okay, all
right, let next break, we're gonna

213
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:48.919
have Greg Hanson. We'll see if
he what he what he gleaned, if

214
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.320
anything from our interview with Bobby Robbins
and just some of his thoughts on what's

215
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:56.279
what's going on in uh in football. So we'll be right back. For

It was good? The cool climbs
of northern New Mexico. Are you

263
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.759
the cool climbs somewhere? Oh?
Yeah, it was freezing today. I

264
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:40.680
was freezing playing golf. Cool.
Whoe is me? Whoe is me?

265
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.759
I have to be freezing and wet
and laying under the fan. I mean,

266
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:47.960
I have to be cool, wet
and laying under the fan to be

267
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:56.200
freezing. Here in two sons,
I've got a space heater on right and

268
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.240
so here it's gonna be about one
hundred. So. So did you listen

269
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.319
to the Bobby Robbins the interview?
Yeah, that was terrific. You guys

270
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:06.440
did a good job. What did
you get for What did you get from

271
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:07.480
it? Because, I you know, I mean, there's only so much

272
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.640
he can say, but you know, I mean, you know, my

273
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.079
big takeaway was the whole why there
has to be a law, you know,

274
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.440
why the Feds have to handle this? What do you what do you

275
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.160
think? What did What were your
thoughts on what he talked about? I

276
00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:27.640
thought it was impressive that he is
basically the first cadish step up to to

277
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.839
go public and try and get the
Congress to act, trying to get the

278
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:40.720
government to act um to get some
federal oversights. And because isn't that what

279
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:45.160
has to happen now? Well,
the next step to regulate all of this

280
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:48.559
stuff. Well, that seems like
Bobby Robbins is front and center. Yeah,

281
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:51.440
we were talking about that because I
didn't understand why they would want the

282
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:56.039
federal government to handle this until he
said that, and he and I,

283
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.279
you know, I knew this,
but I didn't think about it that all

284
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.720
the states are doing something different,
so there's has to be one place where

285
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.359
it corrals everything. So that did
make all the sense in the world.

286
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:07.759
And that's why he's the University of
president. I'm not because he thought of

287
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.359
that and I did it. Yeah, you know, it comes at the

288
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:17.680
same time where it's kind of under
the radar. I think Friday that the

289
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:25.839
IRS came out and said that UM
nonprofit collectives offering tax deductions could be illegal.

290
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.720
Yeah, and that would shut down
nil stuff right away, or at

291
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.240
least make it for a more even
playing field. And because I think the

292
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:40.880
current structure isn't sustainable and ending the
tax deductibility, it could could be a

293
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.880
game changer for a school like Arizona. Yeah, no question, yeah,

294
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:45.720
no, yeah, no doubt.
Well for a lot of people, right

295
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.440
because I you know, if if
you said, okay, I'll donate if

296
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.319
I can get it, you know, if I can get a tax deduction

297
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:52.640
for it to say, well,
you don't get that anymore. How many

298
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.319
people are still going to donate,
and so it's certainly going to have an

299
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.440
effect on how much money is out
there. Oh big, I'm so.

300
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.759
I mean something has to give,
doesn't it. I mean all these changes

301
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:12.000
in il the portal, they're they're
bad for for the future of college athletics.

302
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:15.720
I think do you think let me
see this because we're kind of old

303
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.160
dudes here sitting down around the table, Um, do you think that it's

304
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.519
we think it's bad because we're old, and it's we're used to something else,

305
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.000
right, right, and the kids
in there saying you don't know?

306
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:26.079
Do you know? Shut up?
Bles man night. This is what we

307
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.960
this is what it's coming to.
Well, I think the portal is bad

308
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.680
in this regard. Remember jamaral Baker
played for Arizona a couple of years ago.

309
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.920
Yeah, he's gone from Kentucky to
Arizona, to Fresno State and now

310
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.400
in New Mexico. I mean that's
successive. Yeah, the portal is great,

311
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:51.319
but it can't be excessive and and
be healthy, can't it. Right,

312
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.799
Well, we're talking about Jordan Brown
last week. Right, you heard

313
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.640
he's he's going to it. He's
going to his fourth school in his sixth

314
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.319
and it will play in his sixth
year. Now, again, a part

315
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.279
of that was COVID and they got
the free year, so that probably be

316
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.119
one less school that he would be
going to. But nonetheless, you're talking

317
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.920
about a kid who who was a
starter here and I don't remember if you

318
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.359
were at that Tommy Lloyd lunch,
remember when you just after you got here

319
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.799
and you got asked about Jordan Brown, he said, I sat Jordan down,

320
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.039
I told him he's the guy,
you know, he's our guy.

321
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:19.359
You know, we're going, you
know, and we're gonna And then the

322
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.799
next day he went into the transfer
portal, Yeah, and goes to Louisiana.

323
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:29.319
Louisiana right right, doesn't make any
sense. None of this makes sense.

324
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.839
Uh, And it's not just for
plain time. It's then I ll

325
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.720
obviously, but plain time and maybe
just homesickness. He saw the Oklahoma Oklahoma

326
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:40.839
picture. Pitch, you're leaving now, um, hey let me ask you

327
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.119
the Oklahoma picture left? Yeah?
Yeah, Jody, Yeah, she left.

328
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:51.799
She wants to go back and play
Nebraska where she's from. Jumped in.

329
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:53.960
Yeah, she jumped in the portal
today. It's exactly what I said.

330
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:57.039
I thought if she came, she'd
come to Arizona. There was a

331
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:03.480
back in the top three. Top
talked too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

332
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.160
She's from Nebraska. She lives like
an hour from Omaha, or she

333
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.039
grew up at like an hour from
Omaha. And it sounds like she wants

334
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:14.440
to go back and play at the
Rusk, Nebraska. Yeah, but that's

335
00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.880
where it sounds so so so so, Greg, we talked a lot about

336
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:19.319
a lot of different things. We'll
go back to the president if you have

337
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.279
any thoughts, but we just I
just asked Jay here and Jason, how

338
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:30.799
would you grade the U of A
overall athletically this past year? In on

339
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:34.960
field performance? They're going to finish
almost fiftieth in the Learfield Cup. You

340
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.079
know which major is sport by sport
across the board for everybody. Um,

341
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.480
I was looking up the other day
and they're going to be somewhere between forty

342
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:47.519
eight and fifty fourth. And we
all remember when they were in the top

343
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.880
ten about ten years in a row
and behind yeah yeah, so in that

344
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.920
regard they've they've slipped and it hasn't
been just reason it's been ten years,

345
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:03.200
but they had a lot of positive
grow too. Uh, just in the

346
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:10.960
big two Bobby Robbins hiring Tommy Lloyd
and Jet Fish. I mean talk about

347
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.119
at the school Arizona's level. I
say, hired anybody but those two guys

348
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:19.759
who wouldn't have been a home run, but two hires have been a home

349
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:25.480
run. Yeah. And I said
to look at Bobby Robbins for having good

350
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.559
instincts, I said, he think
because remember how bad everybody wanted um um

351
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.519
that the guy from Sandose State.
Um. Yeah, Oh, Brent Brennan,

352
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.240
you know. And I'm like,
he would have been kind of an

353
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.079
average coach here and I don't know, but I don't know if he because

354
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.839
I don't know. I don't know
that he would have generated the stuff that

355
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:51.440
the Jed Fish has had just with
his enthusiasm and his sort of his creativity,

356
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:53.440
you know, uh, and the
way he does things. I don't

357
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.200
know that Brent Brennon would have been
that guy. And he would have brought

358
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.279
in a lower level of assistant coaching
staff and he wouldn't have been the demanding

359
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:11.720
guy that he is and getting his
staff almost twice the size of what Keevin

360
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.480
someone has and the money they've spent
on read I mean, Lowell Stevens is

361
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:21.200
only ten years old and they've already
redone what fifteen million dollars of it?

362
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.720
Yeah. Yeah, because yet Fish
won't let up. He insists on having

363
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:32.440
better stuff. You didn't give me
a grade grade? What does that translate

364
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.039
into the fiftieth of the series.
Yeah, give him a grade for that

365
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:41.160
for the program. I think Arizona's
a B minus in Power five Sports.

366
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.720
Yeah, we did the same,
Steve said. C First, he's pretending

367
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:51.880
no, no, no, it's
well fiftieth, fiftieth and the thing I

368
00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:53.839
know, but it's not great.
Yeah, it's a see, it's a

369
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:59.119
average. Hey. So going back
to going back to the Robins interview,

370
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.079
I asked him, I said,
you were a bunch of old guys and

371
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:04.440
you're you're even older than both Steve
and I. So I just had to

372
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:08.880
throw that out there. But,
um, are you do you think we're

373
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:15.759
gonna like what college football is going
to be in the next say, five

374
00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:22.319
ten years? Or are we are
we two hung up on what's being lost?

375
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.640
You know, the tradition and the
stuff that we grew up with.

376
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:30.400
Are you do you think we're gonna
like it. I think it's going to

377
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.880
be an adjustment. But I also
look back look at the historical perspective of

378
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:41.799
Tucson in college sports. The u
of A was responsible for starting the Border

379
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.200
Conference and getting going out of the
you know, the low minor leagues.

380
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:51.759
Then the u of A was responsible
for starting to whack Dick Closson did that.

381
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.039
Then the u of A John Shaffer
was responsible for getting Arizona into the

382
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:03.079
Pac Ten. So Arizona's evolved evolved, evolved over those last ninety years.

383
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.039
So I think, what if anybody's
going to evolve again successfully, it would

384
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.799
be Arizona because they've proven you can
do it in Arizona in Tucsons. Yeah,

385
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.720
but overall, are we gonna like
the game and what it what it

386
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.640
becomes with you know, the you
know, if if we wind up with

387
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:23.160
you know, four Super conferences,
or do we like you know, are

388
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:27.640
we gonna like five years down the
road that Texas and Oklahoma are in there

389
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:33.599
in the SEC and that USC and
UCLA are in the Big Ten. Are

390
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:34.640
we just going to get used to
it? Are we gonna like it?

391
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:40.799
Is it gonna suck? I mean, what do we think my answer would

392
00:26:40.839 --> 00:26:44.079
be, over the last ten days
or so, every time I turn on

393
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:49.640
a postseason college sport in a tournament, LSU is front and center because LSU

394
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:55.640
has all the money in the world
and we've all been to Baton Rouge,

395
00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:02.440
haven't you guys? Bot That to
me, that's a place at a destination

396
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.759
place. But the Bunny has made
it so how in college delew how and

397
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:11.839
I don't want to keep watching LSU
and Florida win everything. So you're saying,

398
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.440
no, it's it's a changing game. The landscape has changed, obviously,

399
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.559
sec. I don't even know how
Betton Rush has become this place,

400
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.799
but it was easily the scariest place
I've ever went to to watch a game.

401
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.839
I'm not joking. Fans, I
mean it. Fans are crazy clime.

402
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.079
It's awful. It's always so human, your glasses fog up. I

403
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.000
wanted to go in that uh that
game where they got their skulls crushed when

404
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.119
Willie to Atoma got you know,
we wanted to go to that game and

405
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.960
we just never did pull the trigger
on it. And then as we watched

406
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.839
the game, we were happy we
were not there. But you know,

407
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:51.640
I mean, I I don't know. I mean college football. I mean

408
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.680
we've been talking, we've been talking
about Clemson, Georgia and uh OHIW to

409
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.319
date and Alabama for how many years
now, and it's still going to be

410
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.960
that is I don't I don't see
if I don't see that changing anytime soon.

411
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:06.839
And if that's what it's going to
be like, you got to you

412
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.519
gotta take your pleasure or your fun
out of little things like beating Oregon or

413
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.720
something. Yeah, And I mean
I watched the NC Double A Track Championships

414
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:19.880
on and off over the weekend,
and every winner was from Georgia or Florida

415
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:25.880
or l Sue just there were no
there was no PAC twelve presents and the

416
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:30.039
ANC Double A track me that that's
totally changed in fifteen years. Yeah,

417
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.640
yeah, what Oregon used to be
an Arizona beat Oregon this year. Specifically,

418
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.440
Hey, Greg, let me ask
you a question we talked about this

419
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:37.960
last week. I've asked Jay and
some of the other guys who have called

420
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:45.079
in. Assuming, assuming of course, Arizona and issue separate, UVA goes

421
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.799
to the Big twelve issue decides to
stay. Who has had it better since

422
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:53.240
the PAC twelve PAC ten was initiated
in seventy eight. Who has had it

423
00:28:53.359 --> 00:29:02.000
better athletically, issue overall or a
overall. I'd say it's about fifty five

424
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:06.640
forty five for Arizona. I've looked
up that stuff and tracted over the years.

425
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:10.119
But what is a sue known for. They don't have a signature sport

426
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:15.640
except men's golf, that's it.
And remember when the league began as U

427
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:22.079
was number one a track, they
had the best basketball program. They dominated

428
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:30.599
Arizona football to that point, but
it's all changed. Maybe fifty five is

429
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:37.359
kind of cut into too close because
we'll say, is you're sports known for?

430
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:45.519
At least Arizona's known for men's basketball. ASU baseball program went off the

431
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.440
tracks about twelve years ago, and
that was their number one sport in the

432
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:55.240
last thirty years, So I would
say Arizona is easily more attractive. I'm

433
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:57.519
sure hate to see him split up, though, because being from Utah,

434
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:02.960
I've seen what the Utah be I
used sport has done. That's correct the

435
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.920
fan basis, you know in those
cities. Yeah, I mean well,

436
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.839
I'm I got mixed feelings about that
because I you know, I stopped going

437
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.240
to gain anything up at ASU because
I just can't. I can't be around

438
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.839
their fans. Um I'll tell you
a funny story someday that I can't tell

439
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.640
on the on the air, But
um, you know there's so there's that.

440
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.279
But on the other hand, you
know, even though I hate the

441
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.759
rivalry, and when I say I
hate the rivalry, I hate those games

442
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.279
against Arizona State in any sport because
I hate losing them. Right, I

443
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.880
don't think about going into those games. I don't think it's gonna feel good

444
00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.599
to beat these guys. Going into
all those games, I think I don't

445
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:44.880
want to play this game because I
don't want to take the chance that there's

446
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.720
those Arizona's gonna lose and I'm gonna
I'm gonna hate that. So, you

447
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.799
know, I do have mixed feelings
about it though, because I the rivalry

448
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:55.480
is still is something that you know, it's been a part of my life,

449
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:56.519
you know, since I was you
know, since as long as I

450
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.960
can remember, back went back.
You know, I grew up in the

451
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.519
upper at a time when as you
just kicked the crap out of Arizona every

452
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.839
year, and it was a given
that that's what was going to happen until

453
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:08.079
until Dick broke that streak back in
uh you know, in the in the

454
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:14.400
in the Larry excuse you broke that
streak early eighties, you know, so,

455
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:18.200
Um, I don't know I would. I know I would miss the

456
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:23.880
rivalry as much as I know I
would not miss the ASU fans. Well,

457
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:29.079
what in you guys opinion? What
are the two biggest some basketball games

458
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:34.680
every year at mcale Center still and
a SU Yeah here got to be second.

459
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:40.599
And with the UCLA gone now,
I mean as the number one attraction

460
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.839
that makes hial Center all year long. And that's that, and that's hasn't

461
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.480
been and that's not great. I
mean, I know they had that crap

462
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.920
pass win with with that half course
shot this last game, but it hasn't

463
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.599
It really hasn't been much of a
rivalry over the year. Did that little

464
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:57.400
stretch when she had a little stretch, uh, when Luke was leaving and

465
00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.799
all that kind of stuff, But
you know, it hasn't been much of

466
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:02.960
a rivalry. And if that's gonna
be the best game we're gonna get,

467
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:06.559
we're gonna be looking for other teams
that are gonna make it better. Like

468
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.640
you know, Duke coming into town
and that kind of stuff. Hey,

469
00:32:08.680 --> 00:32:10.839
how do you like the schedule?
Man? How do you like the schedule?

470
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:16.839
Basketball? Wow? As good as
it's been in twenty years. Yeah,

471
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:22.039
finally, that was so unprized that
Tommy would take that step because he

472
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:28.759
didn't have to. The fans have
probably become used to playing almost nobody in

473
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:31.960
the pre conference, and now he
gets five of those games in one year.

474
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.920
That's I mean, that's in the
heart of the low years. Yeah,

475
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.920
the fun time, fun time.
It Stabbis is who you are,

476
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.680
where you need to get better.
I'm not sure it's a guarantee that you're

477
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.079
gonna play better in March, but
it gets you ready for March, and

478
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.720
no one else in the league does
it, right, Nay? One last

479
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.799
question before you go out? Did
you have a quite uh? Your your

480
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:57.240
boy doll content has become a name
for USC, but he says, I

481
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:02.880
ain't going not a surprise. Probably
Texas has got to be a better athletic

482
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:09.880
program than USC. Where would you
rather live Austin, Texas or LA that's

483
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:16.440
not even yeah, no, it'd
be Austin times two without questions. Yeah,

484
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.279
yeah, I mean I don't.
I wouldn't see him unless I was

485
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.960
living in the Dorman La at the
school. I ain't gonna travel unless or

486
00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:27.680
unless he's got a reason to leave, like somebody's gonna, you know,

487
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.880
maybe creeping up to try and get
rid of him or something. You know,

488
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:35.480
his his coaching, his football coaching
hires haven't been great. So let's

489
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.440
see what happens there. Yeah,
he was. I think we all really

490
00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:42.680
thought highly of him, didn't I. Yeah, obviously, he's like he's

491
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.559
a guy from my area, and
I'm thinking, how did this guy become

492
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:51.720
who he became? Mister personality exactly? That's right. Yeah, he can

493
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:53.720
take money from any past you want, you name it. I'm good at

494
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.599
it. Yeah. Okay, Hey, Greg, thanks a whole bunch for

495
00:33:57.640 --> 00:34:00.279
doing this on short orders to appreciate
it. Warm up up, Yeah,

496
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.759
seriously, Mann, turn on the
space heater. Thank you. Guys talked

497
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:08.360
to a little later. Appreciate it. Greg Hanson from the Stars. You

498
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:12.480
know when when you ask them the
question about the asu Arizona think that's right

499
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.199
up, Greg's out. I think
it's always doing that research. I think

500
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.119
I think it's about running five to
six trade. But that's what I said.

501
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:22.280
I said, Look, I think
everybody can compare the major programs that

502
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:24.880
you can say issues had it better
than Arizona, but the gap between the

503
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:30.400
basketball programs is so why that that
puts Arizona on the part. The only

504
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.440
really one thing they have over you, you specifically, hasn't been to the

505
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.679
you'd give it the arms, you'd
give an armor leg to get to that

506
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:39.320
Rose Bowl, and pretty much,
I mean, I think I agree with

507
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:43.840
you guys. It's fifty five.
It's yeah, it's close, but I

508
00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:45.760
think you give I think you lean
Arizona, especially with the perspective that they

509
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:51.000
at one time had at all until
they don't anymore. Man kicking and screaming

510
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:55.679
to the you've ever read the stories
of the of the political piece of them

511
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:00.800
getting and they literally got dragged to
the Pac ten. They did not want

512
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:06.039
to go because they loved being the
big dog in the whack and they had

513
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:07.880
a bowl game to go to every
year because that's why the Fist Bowl was

514
00:35:08.360 --> 00:35:13.039
was formed. They did not want
to go, and they and it was

515
00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:15.880
kind of like the state said,
you're going, Yeah, the sleeping giant

516
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:19.760
has yet to wake up and you
may never wake up. Yeah at this

517
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.320
point, okay, all right,
hey, well we'll come back. We'll

like, yeah, well that's what I'm

637
00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:00.519

Yeah? Man, it's like they
go to the Big twelve, that's fine,

640
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:07.639
stay in the pack, then that's
fine. I feel I feel the

641
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.639
same way. Jay. I couldn't
tell you why because it doesn't impact me

642
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:15.239

Thank you, Nico. The wisdom of

00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:17.920
a twenty eight year old, a
part time worker. Thank Unico. A

660
00:45:19.039 --> 00:45:23.119
man, somebody's got something pizza pies
around, bring one to my place.

661
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:30.320
Thanks. Thanks. I'm with you. You know what, I'm sure there's

662
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:34.119
a lot of people. You don't
like that. It's because it's tiring.

663
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:36.920
I mean, I know, part
you just let's get it done. Yeah,

664
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:38.599
and you know, whatever happens happens. Yeah. And look, I

665
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:42.840
mean I grew up here and from
the time I was a little kid watching

666
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.639
you have a football, you know, it was a big deal to me,

667
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:49.039
and and watching watch him in the
whack and wanting to be at a

668
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:52.079
SU and Yu and all those teams. And then they got to the Pac

669
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.960
ten. It's like, okay,
now we can go to the Rose Bowl.

670
00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:58.159
And then all those years and some
great you know, some great football,

671
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:01.400
some great years, some great games. Um uh and then you know,

672
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.320
so, I mean it's kind of
been a big kiss in my life

673
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:08.559
for a lot. Well, so
every fall. So in seventy eight,

674
00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:13.440
you must have been eighteen ish,
Yeah, I get the excitement. You're

675
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:15.599
eighteen, you get this. Okay, we're the school, new conference,

676
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:21.199
the conference in the West ul An
usc every year. And when you're young,

677
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:23.000
you're influenced by a lot of different
things. And now you're you're one

678
00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:27.400
hundred years old, and now just
how I feel. It's kind of want

679
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:30.239
to keep that. So do you? Does it care to you? Not

680
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:35.519
really, because I just you know, it's gonna whatever, whatever happens,

681
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:38.239
is gonna happen. They're gonna end
up playing somewhere, get somebody. That's

682
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:42.440
how I feel. I just but
I'm that. I'm that guy who hangs

683
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:45.440
onto my T shirts for twenty years. Dave. You know, they're they're

684
00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:47.280
they're torn out at the armpits and
all that kind of stuff, But I

685
00:46:47.360 --> 00:46:51.639
hang on to them because they give
me comfort. As my mom would say,

686
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:54.039
there look better like rags than they
do. I know, And my

687
00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:59.239
mom hated that I was not allowed
to wear anything that was torn when I

688
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.159
was growing up, because if you
if you got if your pants are torn

689
00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:05.440
at the knee. People think you're
poor. She hated that. But that's

690
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:07.599
a whole another story. But but
again, but the point being that I

691
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:12.199
keep, you know, like my
I've got T shirts in my drawer that

692
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:16.599
from from when I was coaching high
school baseball in twenty ten. I hear

693
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:20.519
you, I hear you. But
it's not gonna this is gonna still gather

694
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:23.360
dust. Um. I think it's
a no lose situation to this point.

695
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:28.360
Now it's just that media damn deal
where they could lose money or it's not

696
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.480
gonna be very well. Again,
if they don't get the money that they

697
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:34.360
want to get, then that throws
everything up in the ends, and then

698
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:42.840
then then you'll be wearing people.
But no, I I just um again

699
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:46.639
being the guy that likes things just
so. Um. You know, I

700
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:50.360
go as I said, I go
to the restaurant, I order the same

701
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:52.920
thing. I like my steak cook
the same way. Um, I don't.

702
00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:57.400
I rarely try anything new on that
stuff. That's all. I kind

703
00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:00.400
of want things to be the way
they were, And I know they can't

704
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:04.039
be the way they we're at us, but we can be as close to

705
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:07.119
it as we can get by staying
in the mind also admit that the conference

706
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.480
will not be as sexy you'd like
that one, because it's not gonna be

707
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:13.280
You can't lose those two guys.
Yeah, you just can't. You just

708
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:15.119
can't, you know, And there's
nothing you can replace it with. Yeah,

709
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:20.039
you know, the two hottest girls
in the room have left the building,

710
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:22.559
right, So it's kind of like, Okay, let's find some more

711
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:25.039
hot girls. But it's gonna be
hard harder to find. And you won't

712
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:28.519
that hot. You won't. You're
not saying data, it's not that hot.

713
00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:30.760
Say he is definitely not that hot. Fresnel State's not that hot.

714
00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:35.400
No, boys States not that hot. There is anybody out there, you

715
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:37.960
know they you know, I want
to ask Robbins. I said, you

716
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:40.079
know, dude, you want to
you want to break some news for us

717
00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:44.119
and tell us that a TV deal
has been signed for a record amount and

718
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:45.480
that, oh, how Saint Michigan
are in the PAC twelve. No,

719
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:51.320
that would have been cool. Yeah, sure, what do you think Bobby

720
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:52.920
you got that? You didn't give
us that. No, Jay, this

721
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:57.960
will be the last time I'm on
the don't even ask PA to get it.

722
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:02.639
That is just the stupidest question I've
ever heard this was an intelligent show

723
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.960
come to the wrong place. Yeah, well he knows that going in.

724
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.840
Everybody knows that going in. But
um, you know, and again in

725
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:15.599
the end, yes, in the
end, I'm with you guys in that

726
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:20.440
wherever it winds up, we'll be
fine with it. We'll go with it.

727
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:25.960
Um. But if given the choice, let's let's let's let's stay with

728
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:29.679
what we got. And I'm okay
with that. Yeah. Well, the

729
00:49:29.760 --> 00:49:30.760
one thing he did say is,
you know, the travel and all that

730
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:32.679
stuff, you know, it is
what it is. Yeah, I mean,

731
00:49:32.719 --> 00:49:36.119
he you know, and he did
he kind of he kind of agreed

732
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:37.239
with us on that one. He
said, they don't really know yet.

733
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:42.599
I want that thing's gonna pencil out
and the cost of what it's gonna be.

734
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:45.159
You know, you're gonna get all
this extra money, but what the

735
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:47.519
overall cost is going to be,
and not just the dollars and the dollars,

736
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:51.800
but the you know, the cost
you the wear and tear on athletes

737
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:53.760
and stuff like that, the wear
and tear on the sports. Um,

738
00:49:54.239 --> 00:49:58.360
that's gonna be like, yeah,
exactly. You don't know until you know

739
00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:01.039
the effect, because you can say, oh, we're gonna be okay,

740
00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:04.639
Like, as Jason, what do
you know? Right, you won't know

741
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.480
until you go through it, right, since you know, my school sucks,

742
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:09.159
my study stuck because I don't have
time to do all this stuff.

743
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:12.440
There's too much no, no,
no, not enough time in the day,

744
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:16.079
right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. So okay,

745
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:20.719
right, the six minutes here left. Then we have the Nugget game

746
00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:23.400
tonight yet five thirty. You see
what if they end tonight? You see

747
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:25.400
if they do or they don't.
What do you think if they do endy

748
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:29.920
tonight, who do you think gets
finals MVP? Oh? Joker? Joker?

749
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:32.440
I think yeah, okay, I
would agree, But I just wanted

750
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:37.760
to see if you Michael Porter's playing
pretty well up until like last game,

751
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:39.599
right, didn't he? Like really, he's been playing horrible. I mean

752
00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:44.920
Murray would have a chance. Yeah, that's maybe Murry, but but he's

753
00:50:44.960 --> 00:50:46.920
not the face of the franchise,
you know, And it's kind of obvious.

754
00:50:47.079 --> 00:50:52.119
It's like when you played when Averyzona
played in the ninety seventh tournament,

755
00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:55.559
right, did you think Miles was
the MVP. No, Mike Baby was

756
00:50:55.599 --> 00:51:00.599
the MVP. They won that because
of right right? Right? No?

757
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:05.000
I feel but he didn't have all
the points, but he had equal him

758
00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:06.920
out. But he You're right,
no, I was. I wanted to

759
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:13.480
go. I definitely thought Mike maybe
that was the MVP of that of that

760
00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:17.480
final total, no doubt. Totally
agree. But they want it, so

761
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.960
they want it. No, I
agree, Yeah, I mean you have

762
00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:27.199
to give it to to just he's
like you said, he's the face,

763
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.639
he's the guy, and he better
damn score twenty five points. Yeah,

764
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:35.480
really right, he looks just like
a dude. Yeah, that dude man

765
00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:38.679
that. It's been some funny comparison. They've been comparing him to to um

766
00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:44.119
the guy in Rocky four, Um, the Russian guy Draggle. They've been

767
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:47.320
comparing him to him the most.
Then somebody compared who somebody compared him to

768
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:53.280
the uh to the German guy in
saving Private Ryan that uh god, I

769
00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:58.039
wouldn't know that. That that they
captured him and he had killed they'd killed

770
00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:00.880
one of their guys, and then
they capped him and then there was a

771
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:02.760
big fight over whether they're going to
let him go. Um, you know,

772
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:06.800
this might be a totally stretch and
it's not the same because I know

773
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:10.119
it's not big country. Remember Bigig
country yea from Oklahoma State. Just the

774
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:15.000
dude he's that. You could be
that guy. Um some Brian Scalabrine from

775
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:21.400
from usc another guy. Just you
look at him. He's got no definition,

776
00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:23.880
definition to his to his arms,
right, he just looks like a

777
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:27.639
guy who just got up off the
couch as opposed to you see some of

778
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:30.199
these other guys and they got you
know, bulky muscles. He's the dude

779
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:32.760
you see in those videos who are
hey, you can I play with you

780
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:36.719
guys at depict up games and you
know they need schools. You h Billy

781
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:43.800
Hoyle Bill Billy that no from h
white Man, white Man can't. I

782
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:46.039
just said, sitting on the side
and say okay, we'll take you because

783
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:54.480
you're tall jumpers, and yeah,
I'll take you. Talk him any day.

784
00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:59.639
Yea. So it's been fun and
it's waking awaking a lot of people

785
00:52:59.639 --> 00:53:01.280
who had it's in the NBA because
they don't watch it through all the year.

786
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:06.480
No, they watch it now.
Yeah so okay, no, yeah,

787
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:09.800
yeah they he's gotta score twenty five
points. Yeah yeah, I went

788
00:53:09.840 --> 00:53:13.280
on, I went on, I
had is the first this is the Twitter.

789
00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:17.440
Jamal Murray's got to score hit two
three points. This is the first

790
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:22.239
NBA Finals game that I've had any
money on. Put just put a little

791
00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:25.920
bit just to watch you hit this
one. Yeah, you know, well

792
00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:30.000
it's not This isn't about who wins
and losing the game. The guys just

793
00:53:30.039 --> 00:53:30.920
got to do that. They could
do that, Blues, they could do

794
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:36.480
that and win. It was a
it was a boosted thing on on DraftKings.

795
00:53:36.519 --> 00:53:38.440
So if you're on draft Kings and
you follow us on draft Kings,

796
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:44.679
there's a boost for two plus one
hundred on Yoki scoring twenty five points and

797
00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:49.320
Murray having two three pointers. You
said free money, and we're really unhappy

798
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:52.639
because that's like saying, hey,
dude, you got a perfect game going.

799
00:53:52.719 --> 00:53:54.039
Yeah, I think Yokis is gonna
come out, you know, score

800
00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:59.559
dominant or double just trying to end
the series right now or tonight. I

801
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:02.400
guess I could see him and Murray
going off for big nights. Just putting

802
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:07.400
this away. It's funny because when
when um, when the Celtics beat fell

803
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:10.400
behind three one, Yeah, everybody's
saying, oh, they can still win

804
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:13.960
this, they can still win this. There is nobody saying that the Heat

805
00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:16.119
can still win this. Yeah.
Um, I never thought Boston could win.

806
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:21.599
I'm surprised they made it seven.
I was shocking to me. But

807
00:54:21.719 --> 00:54:23.880
the way the Nuggets played, they're
just too good, like it should honestly

808
00:54:23.920 --> 00:54:28.079
be over by now if they didn't
know how that collapse kind of no one

809
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:32.760
quarter in Game two, but just
a better team. So are they Are

810
00:54:32.840 --> 00:54:37.280
they a worthy champion? Yeah?
How will we think? How will we

811
00:54:37.400 --> 00:54:42.400
think of them in terms of in
terms of being a you know that you

812
00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:45.360
know, because there's some teams that
won the championship, you they want that

813
00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:47.159
good. Well, you might not
like this, but they're not the bubble

814
00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:52.599
champion where people really kind of you
know what I'm saying, I guess because

815
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:57.079
the Lakers are. But no,
seriously, where will they rate you know

816
00:54:57.280 --> 00:54:59.800
some of the other teams that have
won the championship. Do they have to

817
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:01.679
in another one to validate? No, they don't because I think if they

818
00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:07.119
went tonight, they're playoff record for
this postseason at seventy seventeen a five,

819
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:10.360
like that's the overall and they swept
the Lakers, beat the Wolves in five,

820
00:55:10.480 --> 00:55:15.760
beat the Phoenix and six, and
they're gonna be mind possiblaying five.

821
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:20.840
And they had the best records off
season. But all along the way except

822
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:23.159
for this series, people thought they
were gonna lose. Yeah, because no

823
00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:25.639
one knows about them. But I
mean, they're in Denver, they're stuck

824
00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:29.519
somewhere in the mid Well. I
think they thought they were going to beat

825
00:55:29.519 --> 00:55:31.920
the Wolves in the first series.
But yeah, but they thought they thought

826
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:36.840
they were gonna lose to the Come
on, I got them at eleven to

827
00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:39.000
one. Who's gonna get them?
They were even worse before I got to

828
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:43.360
them. Yeah, eleven to one. That's crazy. You never think that

829
00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:45.920
they were eleven to one. They
were like the sixth best choice, which

830
00:55:46.039 --> 00:55:50.800
is crazy. Were the best record? Well that's it. They had the

831
00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:53.159
best record, and yet people thought
they weren't that good exactly. Yeah,

832
00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:57.480
so that's my masking. Well,
people think they were really that good.

833
00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:00.679
Yeah, if they watched the playoffs, Yeah, I hope so anybody would,

834
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:02.960
I mean, because you gotta see
to believe it. Yeah, you

835
00:56:02.960 --> 00:56:07.440
wouldn't believe it because that's it right
there now they have. You have to

836
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:09.480
see it to believe it, and
we're seeing it because because no one saw

837
00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:13.440
it until now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, all right, Well game

838
00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:16.719
five tonight, Yes, let's finish
it. Let's see what happens all righty
