So we'll have fun with that. Um, you know, 10 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.600 two and a half hours or whatever it was to two hours. Uh 11 00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.359 so we'll try to give you as much as we can. In the first 12 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:51.119 hour, we're going to listen to some clips. Right, I was going 13 00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:56.039 to signal to you, h heading off the ball. You already bubbled it. 14 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.679 Oh you know what if I've had the headphones on, you know, 15 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.359 playing these clips for two hours now? Um yeah, we we We've got 16 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.439 We've got stuff from Jed Fish, we got both coordinators, Brandon Carroll, 17 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.719 and Johnny NaNs, and a couple of players, a couple of assistant coaches, 18 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.680 a lot to talk about, a lot of questions. Um, you 19 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.040 know, here's what struck me about all of it. Yeah, I was 20 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:19.959 gonna ask you what was your biggest impression today. Struck me about all of 21 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.079 it is that there they have the ability with without tongue in cheek or without 22 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:34.840 stretching things to talk about depth, competitions, the number of guys they have, 23 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:41.000 the improved talent um, and all these things that you just haven't been 24 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.519 able to talk about for a while. You know. That's that's a good 25 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.239 way to wrap it up in terms of what you were you were thinking about. 26 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:49.760 I had the same impressions. I guess I really didn't know what to 27 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.640 say about my first impressions. I think I just like Jed Moore and I 28 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.079 for all the reasons you said, because it's very obvious, and I wrote 29 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.439 that really quick today. Is that one he hopes to fill the stadium in 30 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.959 September. Whether that happens or not, we don't know, but but it's 31 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.919 gonna be a big field, good story for the first month. Yeah, 32 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.319 right, if they do really well and they could possibly get more be a 33 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.159 butts in the seats. Let's say let's say they go be They're gonna be 34 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.960 an na, Okay, they're not. That's not gonna happen with about forty 35 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.240 thousand people. Yeah, okay. Now let's say they go beat Mississippi State. 36 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.719 Okay, okay, Now you've got a high forties maybe fifty thousand for 37 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.479 the U tape game, right right, And then if they win that, 38 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.280 now, who the hell knows what it's gonna they say, they go to 39 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.919 Stanford, oh okay, and they could could possibly before, no, before 40 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.199 their next home game. They go to Stanford, then they come back with 41 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:43.520 a huge game, gets Washington. Well there you Washington, game to go 42 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.000 if they take care of business. But but again, what struck me more 43 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:53.280 than anything was every coach was able to talk about having guys right the depth 44 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.240 they're working with a lot of talk about how bodies have changed and they're bigger, 45 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.800 and they're stronger, and they're faster, all these things. Now, 46 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.159 who knows what that really is gonna look like, but they all seem to 47 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.879 feel pretty damn good about what they've got in front of him, and that 48 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.240 that's what strikes me more than anything. Yeah, it's it's very apparent, 49 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.479 um of the improvement of quality of people. Right. Uh, everything just 50 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.240 seems so positive now, right, Um, and you know what, I'm 51 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.439 rethinking, what's our beds our five and a half? Five and a half. 52 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.879 I'm going on, I've got over you. Yeah, I don't like 53 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.599 my bed. It's another kid. It's another kid. But you know the 54 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.319 only thing I was telling this to our guy from Phoenix, what's his name 55 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:37.639 again, god By Leaps from Phoenix, Doug Heller, that I don't know. 56 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.520 I think they're gonna you're gonna win the bet. But if they don't 57 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.800 win, one of the organistat or watched the statement, like we've said, 58 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.000 I think I have a good chance. But that's beside the point. I 59 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.400 liked these I like this team. Yeah, they could go five and seven 60 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.680 and be ten times better than they were lasting without question. Actual he's got 61 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.560 you going with a signal. Yeah. So let's let's play a Jeds intro. 62 00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.280 It's it's about three or four minute intro of you know, well how 63 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:02.759 we started because it was a fifteen minute press conference with Jed. We got 64 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.960 to talk to the offensive coaches, then had a fifteen minute press conference with 65 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.520 Johnny Nansen and then got to talk to the rest of the defensive coaches, 66 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.800 then some players. But here's here's what Jed got on his mind and what 67 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:20.480 he led with in the press conference. We got a lot of competition for 68 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.959 the first time since I've been here. I walked out here the other day. 69 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.439 We had twenty four defensive linemen, twelve interior guys, twelve defensive ends. 70 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.839 We've got over twenty five players over three hundred pounds on our team right 71 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:40.439 now, which is completely different than when I walked in the door two years 72 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.439 ago as a team, or the players on our team combined of game nine 73 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:51.800 hundred and ninety four pounds, which is one saltwater crocodile. So that's what 74 00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:58.079 Dave. It's pretty nice to see the size of our team and the change 75 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.279 in our team. And then I I'd say the offseason with coach Owens and 76 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:09.040 his strength staff, they've gotten faster, they've gotten stronger, and now they're 77 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:14.600 ready to go out and compete when it comes to our team going into this 78 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:19.399 season, We've talked about really two words, and it's earned. It earned 79 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:25.800 the conversation. Earn what people are saying right now currently about you people are 80 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.879 beginning to talk about Arizona football in a different light. You've got to earn 81 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.519 that you've got a show and prove it really that you're worth the conversation. 82 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:40.959 We've had a tremendous success on the recruiting trail, both in the last two 83 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.800 years and currently, and I would say that now it's time for the guys 84 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.240 that are going into their sophomore year to really take a big step, Guys 85 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:55.160 that transferred in to take a really big step, and guys that came here 86 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:59.199 this past year. We're accounting on freshmen again and transfers again to make a 87 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.240 huge impact act in the success of our program. We also talk to our 88 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.839 kids about you know, now you've learned a lot about the history of Arizona 89 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:13.199 football, and you've met a lot of former players and former coaches and alumni 90 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.720 that really bleed Arizona football on the red and blue, and you got to 91 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.040 earn the honor to wear that jersey and that logo means something. We spent 92 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:27.720 a lot of time watching this past year talking about the redeem team and Coach 93 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:32.040 k and Coach Beheim and some of the messages that they've given to supporting that 94 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.519 logo and respecting that logo, and we're trying to do the same thing here. 95 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.480 But in the end, well, it's a matter of this team, 96 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:45.639 the team of twenty three, a lot of new faces on defense, a 97 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.439 lot of returning faces on offense, and together, I think we have a 98 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.040 chance to have a very successful season. And as long as we stay healthy, 99 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.519 as long as we continue to be a connected and committed football team, 100 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.439 and as long as we understand that you got to pay the price and out 101 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:09.920 work your opponent every single day. Yeah. Uh, I like what he 102 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.959 said, the what's it like to earn it? That one? Improve it? 103 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:15.600 Earn it, improve it, right, yeah, because it was like, 104 00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:18.800 you can be happy about what you did last year in the big jump. 105 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.560 You took from one win to five wins. Ye say, all right, 106 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.439 we're here. Well you're not. No, you're not. It was 107 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.000 like by christ and do it. How does it feel to have arrived? 108 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.800 And she laughed to push because she hadn't not arrived, right, And they 109 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.639 haven't. Obviously they're better and improvement is the biggest thing, and they're much 110 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.240 improved. I was thinking about this because we talked about this all time, 111 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.360 and I pooh pooh, it, not purposely, but but you've been here 112 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.639 a long time and you you, like many others, are these big fans, 113 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.399 right, and you guys always have hope. I always have hope. 114 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.879 It's been a long time, so right, Oh no, over the last 115 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:58.399 five years you've had little hope. Yeah, finally you have hope. Yeah, 116 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.160 you know, and and you know, until you know, until I 117 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.079 did this show, you know, I was just a fan. So I 118 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.560 wasn't going to media day, the press conference and stuff like that, so 119 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.120 I didn't get this kind of information and get to talk to coaches and players 120 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:15.759 and whatnot. But but I'll tell you being there today and watching the because 121 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.560 you you can just tell from coaches do they feel good about whether they're at 122 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.800 or not. And these guys, every single one of them, is like, 123 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.639 I am really glad I'm right here and I and you you feel that, 124 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.000 you know, And then you hear players talking about, you know, 125 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.720 how they feel about stuff, and you go, dang, there might be 126 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.240 something going on. You're not. I don't know what it's where it's gonna 127 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.840 wind up, But certainly today I got a really good feeling that something something's 128 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.679 brewing here. Um, how much longer it's going to take to get to 129 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.559 where you feel like, Okay, this is a team that can compete, 130 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.480 you know, at the at the at the top of the conference or whatever. 131 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:56.399 But I feel like there's just a buzz within the program about how they 132 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.399 feel sure sure going into this season't know until we see it, but LIMIT 133 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.200 say something. I now, this is not part of the your your clips, 134 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.559 And I wanted to say this because I mean it um. The one 135 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.440 thing that I really came away with very impressed with and glad that I was 136 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.120 there was a Keena being there to talk to. I had a little about 137 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.480 two minutes by myself with him, and you know, he was happy to 138 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.360 see you because of the good old days and having to see me. And 139 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.879 we talked and just how how perfect his life is. And I not because 140 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.039 he's in two Sons, but two songs home for him. He's been all 141 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.639 these places, he said, And he said, and part of the story 142 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.480 is his wife Donna, who who who? They left Stanford right, didn't 143 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.679 get renewed or whatever, and they were gonna go to Paris, uh to 144 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:43.080 go coach and and two songs the other option. They chose two song over 145 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.159 Paris, And I thinking how does this work? But you know, the 146 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.519 wife has a big say in it, you know, and that's where the 147 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.360 wife wanted to go. Two songs. Absolutely, Yeah, we're gonna We've 148 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.279 got a Keno was Italian stories. We're gonna play that. I don't know 149 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:00.399 they we're gonna be able to play that stuff today? Well, we'll play 150 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.919 it tomorrow. But it was It was a fun conversation there with some stories. 151 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.240 I got to talk to him cheered up for a bit. Yeah, 152 00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.559 yeah, he cheered up for a bit. Oh because the heisman not to 153 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.000 the Thorpe Award. Yeah, we'll talk about yeah. But I got to 154 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.519 talk to him on the side with you know, Brian Jefferies and three of 155 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:18.679 us were commiserating about being around here in the eighties. Yeah. It was 156 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.799 fun. It was fun. It was like an old friend talking. All 157 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.840 right, Um fish Gott got the idea of year this is year three? 158 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.200 Uh, was brought up in kay, Now this is a year that you 159 00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.919 you know, what are you where you think you should be in year three? 160 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:39.360 That was my question. I think I said, you know your two 161 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.799 you've been pretty good. Put us three years. Here's what he said about 162 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.000 this being a year three and where he thinks he is in terms of what 163 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.759 his big plan was. I remember saying this at the very first bear down 164 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:56.039 Friday. I quoted lud Olsen and I said that get your tickets now, 165 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.360 because in three years from now, hopefully we'll be sold out. Hopefully we're 166 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:07.399 getting close to that. It's been certainly a build. We talked about it 167 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.960 the first year of laying the foundation. We called it year zero. We 168 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.840 talked last year about the build and what we were trying to get accomplished. 169 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.639 And now this year, I believe we're at a place where we have a 170 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:24.320 good football team and we're excited about the six home games, and we want 171 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.000 to sell out September, and we want all three home games in September to 172 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.399 be sold out and then we'll figure it out from there. We feel like 173 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.200 we've made a great impact in the state when it comes to recruiting. People 174 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.840 want to stay at home, people want to come here. The state of 175 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.879 Arizona, for the first time in a very long time, wants to send 176 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:48.159 their players in state to the University of Arizona. That's huge. So we've 177 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.600 made the strides we've wanted to make so far, but we recognize we still 178 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.080 have a long way to go on being able to get to a bowl game, 179 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.240 be compete for a championship, and see, you know, be a 180 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.960 top twenty five team. But that is our goal and that is our plan 181 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.759 moving forward, and as we continue to bring in better players every single year, 182 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.919 I think we're going to get that done. Yeah, how can you 183 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.399 argue against that? Right that that that those first two pieces were sort of 184 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.840 his state of the program, uh comments. He talked about a lot of 185 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.320 stuff maybe after we've gone through some of the team stuff. He had some 186 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.440 interesting stuff to say about realignment, about recruiting in this with all this, 187 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.240 you know, as a as a sort of a backdrop to everything. Some 188 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.039 of the other coaches talked about it as well. Thoughts on it. Yeah, 189 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.879 he was like, okay, tell us where to go. I feel 190 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.879 the same way he said, we're gonna play twelve games this year, We're 191 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.480 gonna play twelve games next year. It's true. Yeah, but um, 192 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.799 you know, one of the keys this year is going to be Jordan Morgan, 193 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.759 right, guys coming you know, he's he's considered a first round draft 194 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.600 pick. He's coming off of an injury and uh a knee entry. Um, 195 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.799 both both the Brendan Carroll and Jedfish talked about how important he is, 196 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:07.399 but then also how they got to manage him. So here's what the Jet 197 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.120 had to say about did Jordan Morgan? I would say he's one hundred percent, 198 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.600 but he won't receive one hundred percent of the reps. So what we'll 199 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.039 do is we'll go through a four week program. We met with our athletic 200 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.440 training department yesterday, our strength coach, Coach Carroll, and myself and we 201 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.480 went through a plan for him over the course of the next twenty eight days 202 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.559 to thirty four days and exactly how we're gonna get him ready to go. 203 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.519 So he'll be on a will monitor every rep, will monitor where he is 204 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:45.440 physically. We know they'll be opportunities back and forth where we're gonna sit him 205 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.919 one day a practice maybe and then practice him another day. But regarding if 206 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:54.120 he's been fully cleared for contact and fully cleared for practice, the answers, 207 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.799 yes, you know. This is one of those areas both the offensive end 208 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.840 defensive lines is one of the areas where historically Arizona just been short on guys 209 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.320 and it just sounds like they got lots of guys that they're that they're feel 210 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.320 good about, right, Yeah, no question. I remember with Moto was 211 00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.279 here doing the team maybe four or five years ago, maybe it was in 212 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.279 Stoop's time, maybe a little. And we know we've seen the athletes forever, 213 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.799 right right, and they never grabbed those guys that are huge, that 214 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.399 are huge and just really your your airport team, right, you don't see 215 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.399 very men of many of that. And then they saw you saw him and 216 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.960 they were, hey, maybe they're making an impact making him because you're bigger, 217 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.879 looks bigger. And that went away. Now apparently they got an alligator 218 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.320 on the team. Yeah, because they have so much more size, right 219 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.440 right, And I just think that that's gonna that's gonna be a big key 220 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.279 because you know, the depth issue is one you know Arizona where it is 221 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.279 on the pecking order of programs. Yeah, that's where depth is, where 222 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.960 they is where they fall short. You get you don't have enough. Yeah, 223 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.679 it's funny though, you know, listen to to a we got we 224 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.240 Gotta go, No, we don't know. So Keena and I love this 225 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.120 philosophy because it's just that's what I believe in. He talked about the Desert's 226 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.879 Horn area. Listen, a bunch of dudes, just a bunch of dudes 227 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.960 that we know. But at the time, we're just dudes. They were 228 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.240 not four stars, five stars. They coached them up, They tourn them 229 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.399 into dogs, They taught them, tourn them into dogs, and they coached 230 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.919 them up and they gave up what thirty one yards a game and became this 231 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.399 team. And he says, that's just what we want to do, that's 232 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.840 what we tried to do. And I'm thinking, Okay, you can do 233 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.120 it with with dudes like we're three stars, to see what happens when they 234 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.399 have better talent, you know, And that's it's more of a mentality, 235 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.919 Jason, It's more of a mentality. You could be a you could be 236 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.399 a tough dude as an athlete, but if you don't have it in you, 237 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.320 okay, but if you're just a mean dog. Yeah, mindset is 238 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.799 everything if you don't have that mindset exactly exactly. So now they have to 239 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.399 do that, yeah, exactly, and they that they feel like they have 240 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.519 those guys right right right, really do Let's go and take a break. 241 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.440 We'ere and come back. We'll go with some more of Jetfish's stuff you talked 242 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:14.159 about, you know his defensive line.

Truthfully, I've given a lot more thought to our team and what 331 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:34.039 we need to do to win games than I have about where we're gonna play 332 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:38.640 in twenty twenty four and beyond. My focus has been on this season and 333 00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:45.640 this team. And I recognize that people are putting, let's call it some 334 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.759 added pressure that the University of Arizona will be the program that makes the final 335 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.359 decision on what happens at the conference. I don't think that's the case. 336 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:59.640 Um. I think that the decision was made by other programs to change the 337 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:00.839 com rents, and now it's going to be a matter of the University of 338 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:07.720 Arizona to decide what's best for Arizona. I would say stability is what's best. 339 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:12.279 So whatever we end up doing, I would imagine that that decision by 340 00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:18.079 our president is going to be solely based upon the stability of wherever we land, 341 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.279 the conference that we land upon, and the financial benefit of the multimedia 342 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:29.359 rights of that conference. I'll say this, Athletics are very expensive, and 343 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.279 to run sports programs is very expensive, and as the NCAA has continued to 344 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:40.400 loosen rules when it comes to feeding players, when it comes to travel, 345 00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:45.400 when it comes to certain benefits, when it comes to athletic advanced academic bonuses 346 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.359 call it if you hit a certain GPA through the Austin case or fifty nine 347 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:56.240 eighty. All of those things go into making running an athletic department extremely expensive. 348 00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.960 So clearly the multimedia rights aspect of this decision is going to be critical 349 00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.000 to the success of Arizona Athletics in the future. And then he was asked, 350 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:10.920 well, let's play this other clip. He was asked about, you 351 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.160 know, how are you dealing with recruits and whatnot, and then he was 352 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:17.319 also asked about what he thought about Colorado in their decision to believe. So 353 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.799 let's let's play that and then we'll discuss all of what he said, Well, 354 00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:23.799 I would say right now, we've spoken to I had held a zoom 355 00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:30.480 call with every player's parent on our current roster, and I explained to them 356 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.240 that we're gonna know something soon. We're in a position where people want us, 357 00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:41.519 and we're in a position where we're going to be successful with the multimedia 358 00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.759 rights deal because we're not going to take a bad deal. So in the 359 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.720 end, it's going to benefit well. I talked to our recruits, and 360 00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:52.160 I've told our recruits, yes, I understand that some programs might be telling 361 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.240 you, you know, why would you go there if they don't know where 362 00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.359 they're going to be. I would say this, We're gonna be in a 363 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.759 great spot and we're not going to even flinch about and neither are recruits. 364 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:06.759 Our recruits are excited about what could come if we were to remain in this 365 00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.400 conference and add players or ad teams, just like they'd be comfortable if we 366 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:17.519 were to move to a different conference and change our time zones. So all 367 00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.960 of those are great options for us, and the most important thing is that 368 00:25:21.079 --> 00:25:25.480 Arizona football is in the right place at this moment in time, and we're 369 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:30.519 building to something special. Colorado's decision, I wasn't surprised because it felt like 370 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:34.400 that was going on for the last three months. It seemed like that was 371 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:38.640 where they wanted to be. It's where they felt most comfortable, and if 372 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.079 that's what they decided to be. I think they've had a lot of success 373 00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.200 when they were in the Big twelve or Big eight, whenever they won the 374 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.400 national championship, and it was probably good for them to get back there and 375 00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:55.880 good for them. So one of our listeners, texting metsa Jed just said 376 00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:59.720 they're leaving for the Big twelve pretty much, oh, you know, basically 377 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:02.519 any and he's right, right. But the funny thing that what he was 378 00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.680 saying is I'm thinking, either way, Arizona is gonna be fine. And 379 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.440 that's what we've been saying, right. You know, people are worried, 380 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.519 don't people worried? I mean, there's no I mean to be curious, 381 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.240 you know, I want to know you. Look at you. You've been 382 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.319 cured in a year because last year at this time you were like, who 383 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.359 I want to know? I want I'm dying. Well a year ago, 384 00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:26.559 okay, I was afraid that the that, however, fell out, that 385 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:32.079 Arizona might be relegated right to to either like a Mountain West type, that 386 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.880 they might get left behind if USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington State, 387 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.640 you know, all went somewhere and we're let and what was left was a 388 00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:44.200 crap conference and that Arizona and ASU and you know, those teams that have 389 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:47.720 kind of not been at the top of the top of the food shape football 390 00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:51.440 wise, we're gonna be relegated somewhere when someone hit you in the head and 391 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.640 think you were in corrals or No. I think it just developed over time 392 00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:56.839 that you got a sense that Arizona had some value. One, because that's 393 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:03.000 basketball, and that's very clear right to because you know, Jay keeps saying 394 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:04.160 it. You know, you can say Arizona's a brand. I'm like, 395 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:10.440 are they really? But maybe they are? Yeah, I think it is. 396 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.920 It's it's like, I know, you're dating the really good looking woman, 397 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.160 and then you forget how good looking she is, right, you think 398 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:23.599 she's become that you can do better, No, that she's she you know 399 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:29.000 she's really she's an incredible woman, but you forget how incredible she is because 400 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.720 you're used to it every day. You can't see the force of right things. 401 00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:37.119 Kind of like we've gotten used to Arizona sort of being yeah, uh 402 00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.640 yeah, well, but other people see it as well. The funny thing 403 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.440 about it using your phrase, um, I've always thought an issue is this 404 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.000 is a pretty nice place, a nice institution, But apparently it's not, 405 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.920 at least not to that extreme. But it's not as powerful as Arizona, 406 00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:57.720 right and and and it's weird because it's got the TV market, it's it's 407 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:02.039 got a population, it's got a population, but it doesn't have a TV 408 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:07.119 mark, right and it doesn't have a near blue blood basketball team or program 409 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.519 or or president that gives gives a concern about what they're gonna do, right, 410 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.519 So I think it's I think it's just very interesting that Arizona has emerged 411 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.000 and and you know, you keep hearing that on you know when with the 412 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:26.440 national media talking about it that how did Arizona emerge as the next best best 413 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.720 one to come out of the PAC twelve? Why is you know, why 414 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.680 is it so hot or even Oregon in Washington right now or not? Yeah? 415 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:41.319 Yeah, Well they're gonna go to a different destination I'm looking for. 416 00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:44.440 I'm looking. I'm more excited about it now when it when it does happen. 417 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.599 But given today's news with Kliakoff and the UH and the media situation, 418 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.240 sound like it just looks like it just looks like last week when he did 419 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.279 the PAC twelve media day and he says the longer will eat the better of 420 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.960 the deal, he wasn't completely set My question because they apparently what's leaked out 421 00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:07.240 is that this is an Apple TV heavy deal and that the base money is 422 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:12.400 not great, but that there's potential for more money by Apple TV getting more 423 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:15.839 subscribers because of Pac twelfth football. And I'm like, are you serious? 424 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:21.400 You really? I mean, do you really think that there's people out there 425 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.920 west east of saying New Mexico all right, who are gonna pay to see 426 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:33.920 Pac twelf football? It's if they if think I lost my mind thinking why 427 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.880 do you think that's gonna work. You couldn't even get Direct TV to take 428 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:42.440 Packed twelf football. You couldn't get Direct Pac twelf football in its in its 429 00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:48.599 lineup. And you think that's that Joe Schmo living over in North Carolina or 430 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.480 New York or you know in the Midwest, is gonna say, yeah, 431 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:55.200 I want to see I'm gonna pay extra money to pay, you know, 432 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.079 at Pac twelve football because I got to see that. No, no, 433 00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:02.160 no, it's one of you talked about brand. The brand. I think 434 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:06.880 a lot of it has to do with basketball obviously, and Jed dogs that 435 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.000 without acknowledging it because it is a brand, and um, we'll see. 436 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.200 I think I think after today's meeting, who it's gonna be now three thirty? 437 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.680 Uh we won't get any information, but I think by the end of 438 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.559 the week we will, Yeah, because because come on, if you're a 439 00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:23.759 president and if you had some power and you got that information today from the 440 00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:26.640 pack twelve of you were saying, pack your bags, Junior, we're going, 441 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.920 We're going. And I think they called the meeting. I'm just gonna 442 00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:37.200 read into something. I believe that that. You know, Robbie Robbins got 443 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.640 the deal yesterday. Okay, so I think he saw it yesterday and he 444 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.240 said, schedule a meeting. Said we're gonna go hear the presentation, we're 445 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.440 gonna go through the steps, we're gonna look at the numbers, we're gonna 446 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.880 hear the schedule a meeting because we might have to do something. Yeah, 447 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.440 that's what That's what I believe happened. And now I could be completely wrong 448 00:30:56.519 --> 00:30:57.920 or I could be completely right about that. Well, if we have them, 449 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.400 we have them on the show. It's some point in the near funeral, 450 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.319 you'll ask that question, you know, the timing of it, right, 451 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:08.160 because isn't it obvious? I mean, like Richard said, didn't Jed 452 00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:11.880 just say you were going to the battleby to me, Steve, Because here's 453 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.640 here's another aspect, and this is maybe getting too far into the weeds in 454 00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:19.680 this. Okay, so this TV deal apparently relies on increasing subscribers for Apple 455 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:25.119 TV. What about somebody like me. I'm already a subscriber to Apple TV? 456 00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:30.599 Yeah? Am I in that headcount that they need to get more subscribers 457 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.319 to get paid more? So? No? True, you're on your grandfathered 458 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:38.000 in. How much does it cost? It's ten bucks a month? And 459 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.960 I think Mike Luri Larie from the UFA was talking about, you know how 460 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:47.400 many people would have to get to make this deal good Ton? Yeah, 461 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:52.039 like millions. Yeah, there's escalates for one million, three million, five 462 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.759 Like, you're not gonna get millions of people who don't have Apple TV right 463 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:02.680 now to get it because of the pactol Ye do they really think that? 464 00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.640 So it seems it seems ridiculous, but you know, I could be completely 465 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:10.480 So you kids with no money going to school? Yeah, what do you 466 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.519 pay for? Do you pay for me? No? So I kind of 467 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:16.440 smiled when you kind of talked about it because there are so many other ways 468 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:21.799 to watch like sports. I'm not gonna pay ten dollars a month for Apple 469 00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:24.359 TV. They're like dozens of other ways I'm going to watch, like any 470 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.240 other sports or whatever I want to watch. You know what I mean. 471 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.279 Having to pay like a month was subsertion for it. So like people like 472 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.839 East Coast North whatever, they're not gonna pay. They have to have some 473 00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.440 kind of attachment to it, right, And like I said, there are 474 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:42.119 other ways to get the access rather than paying for them. Yeah. Yeah, 475 00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.319 so I mean I got I got Apple TV, and I was you 476 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:50.480 know, how often do you watch it? Not very often now, because 477 00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.319 um um ted Lasso is done. That's why I got it. The only 478 00:32:54.319 --> 00:33:00.400 reason somebody gave us a So ted Lasso is good for you. For ten 479 00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:06.960 somebody somebody gave us a subscription subscription and said, we're giving you the subscription 480 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.720 that came with the little Bucks because we want you to watch ted Lasso. 481 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.160 And and and we we've kept you know, we've kept a subscription. And 482 00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:17.359 it's it's uh, I'm trying to look it up. I think I want 483 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:22.039 to maybe it's more than maybe it's it might even be more than uh than 484 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:24.240 than the ten bucks. It might be seventeen bucks or something wow, or 485 00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:29.680 even so you haven't paid for it. Yeah, yeah, So we kept, 486 00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:34.640 you know, it ran out and we've kept it and and but I 487 00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.279 don't, we don't. I don't. I watch it once in a while 488 00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.200 when something comes on. If I if I'm looking for a movie to watch 489 00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:44.799 and I can't find a good one on on my other on my other uh 490 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:47.000 my other things, then I, you know, then I watch it. 491 00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.079 But god, I don't know why I can't find out how much it is? 492 00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:55.039 Well, okay, it's seventeen bucks a month. Yeah, right, 493 00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:58.839 yeah, I'm not gonna work though. No, I don't know why you 494 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:01.240 would do that. Let's you really needed to. But you know, in 495 00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:05.960 two or three years, the ESPN is gonna be kind of a if you 496 00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:07.440 want it, you have to pay it on its own, right, But 497 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:12.039 I already have a subscription. Do you get to ESPN two, to ESPN 498 00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:15.719 Plus? Okay? Not that is now that that is part of my my 499 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:21.320 Comcast h service. I get, I get, I get ESPN, I 500 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.559 get ESPN Plus, which means the stuff that's not on ESPN or ESPN two. 501 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:28.920 You know, I get that, you know, the early the early 502 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.639 tea times for the golf tournaments, and you know subment, you know, 503 00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:36.559 I was able to watch the Miranda Miranda softball team that's playing in the in 504 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:42.760 the World Series. They were on ESPN plus stuff like that. If I 505 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.079 don't know if I would pay for right now, you know, I because 506 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:51.639 I get is ESPN and ESPN two and ESPN News and ESPN U and whatever, 507 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:55.679 um and and I'm pretty sure that if somebody hadn't given us the Apple 508 00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:01.960 TV subscription, the gift subscription, we probably wouldn't have Apple TV right now. 509 00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:07.440 We got it strictly so we can watch Ted Last. So I thought 510 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:12.400 about killing it after Ted lastsall was done, but we just decided. And 511 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.199 you have a bunch of other on your your Jason's not gonna pay seventeen bucks. 512 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.920 No, you know you're gonna find a way to gravy train off somebody 513 00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:22.480 else or or just forget it or hope a friend. Yeah, yeah, 514 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:28.760 yeah. And so they're crazy to think that they're gonna get millions and millions 515 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:34.400 of people to sign up. So what's we got to already take a break? 516 00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:37.440 Put on my curious question and we won't get there until we get there, 517 00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:42.679 is do you if Arizona jumps and others the PAC twelve. I haven't 518 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.159 said this yet, but it's gonna be done like like done, done, 519 00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:50.280 un done. Arizona leaves, I think Utah. If you said yesterday, 520 00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.559 If Arizona leaves, I think Utah. You go with them, and then 521 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.719 Oregon and Washington go to the Big ten and then it's scraps. Had you 522 00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:00.639 said this, we talked to Bud Right and we talked to yesterday talking about 523 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.519 had someone told you this ten years ago, you'd say, you're out of 524 00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.639 your mind, because it all started with us. And I've never think, 525 00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.840 never would have thought that was gonna had the key the cornerstones. Yeah, 526 00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:14.519 that's that's how started. All right, let's take our breakway and come back. 527 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.039 We'll get back to uh, the Jet Fish and the coaches at Arizona 528 00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:21.119 Football Media.

I'm Steve Rivera, He's Jakin's as got a guy 574 00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.400 Jason, and today got about twelve minutes. Anybody want to call for the 575 00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:47.599 last seconds before we go to the second hour? Ye? Did you want 576 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:51.320 to clarify? So? Yes, I do, um I said the Apple 577 00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:55.039 An Apple TV subscription costs seventeen dollars. It's seven dollars six ninety nine a 578 00:39:55.239 --> 00:40:00.840 month. But I think that's still any of them out is a number of 579 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:04.480 the people. Again, if you say I want to see PAC twelve and 580 00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:07.119 it's going to cost me some money, that's a financial commitment, whether it's 581 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:09.960 three dollars, five dollars, eight dollars, or twenty dollars. You know, 582 00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:14.920 people eat you know east of here don't give a crap about PAC twelve 583 00:40:14.920 --> 00:40:19.840 football. And that's what Direct TV saw and why they did not add you 584 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.159 know, PAC twelve to their thing. The Direct TV lose anything by not 585 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:23.880 having the PAC twelve. No, no, they did not. They were 586 00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:27.800 just fine it had been a benefit. They would have done it right. 587 00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.239 They would have done it right. They were long time ago, and so 588 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:32.559 you know, it just gets to the point that that we've made over and 589 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:37.159 over that you know, the PAC twel is just kind of out here on 590 00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:42.840 almost on an island, always has been, and you know, you're just 591 00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.920 not going to get somebody in New York to subscribe to something, to pay 592 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:52.119 for something to watch you know, Arizona play Oregon or whatever. They're just 593 00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:55.639 not Yeah, you know, maybe a basketball conference you know, a basketball 594 00:40:55.679 --> 00:41:00.360 centric area like North Carolina might want to see, you know, be able 595 00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:05.440 to see Arizona play or and or whatever and Gonzaga what but they're not. 596 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:09.800 And I just this this idea, you know, I'm reading Pete Hamil's story. 597 00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:15.719 They're saying that that the the amount of the amount of money paid to 598 00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:21.239 the schools from on the deal quote would incrementally improve, potentially be competitive with 599 00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:24.480 its peers in the Big twelve and acc down the road quote, provided certain 600 00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:30.559 subscription numbers are met. Forget it, because like when you buy something, 601 00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:34.199 being sure to read the small press. If the PAC twalve falls for that, 602 00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.880 what's not the PAC twal If a school falls for that, then they 603 00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:39.920 get whatever they deserve. And how long does that mean, you know, 604 00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:44.360 down the road or what do you say? Potentially blah blah blah, what 605 00:41:44.400 --> 00:41:46.000 does that mean? There's you know, I saw a thing that said that 606 00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:52.199 they're just some uh some some tears right here tis right, the tears that 607 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:58.440 may or may not ever be No. Arizona has got to get on where 608 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.480 they're gonna be on Fox, they're gonna be on ESPN, and and you 609 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:07.000 know, and move on and just go do that it provides certainty and a 610 00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.960 word that everybody keeps using stabuildings. Yeah, all right, let's go back 611 00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:15.960 to jet Fish. So we've been talking about how they've got um. They 612 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:22.320 seem to have depth. Everybody talks about the depth that they have, the 613 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:27.239 the the changes in size and whatnot. Here's jet Fish talking about what he 614 00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:31.639 thinks of his of his defensive line and uh and you know, just talking 615 00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:37.000 about the numbers, the amount of depth we have at the D line. 616 00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:42.599 It really makes for some great camp battles and to see, you know, 617 00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:45.840 what's the rotation gonna look like, what's it gonna look like with the four 618 00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:50.840 to six interior d Lineman. We brought Ceo in from Indiana, Tyler and 619 00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:57.400 from UCLA. Uh Keanu Milto just got here yesterday. From Juco. We've 620 00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:01.920 gotten um and then we have Jacob Conico. We have Tie Tie, so 621 00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:06.480 we've got all those guys competing. Bill Norton in here from Georgia. And 622 00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:08.840 then when you look at the defensive inside, you know, not only do 623 00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:13.880 you have Upshan Patu who transferred him from calam Michigan, you know, but 624 00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:19.039 then you also have the young guys Isaiah Ward and Duce Davis and Duce Lane 625 00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.360 that are all making impacts. So I think it was a big benefit for 626 00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.079 us to play freshman last year. I think a lot of us struggled through 627 00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:31.639 some of the tougher days or nights defensively when you're playing five or six freshmen. 628 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:35.559 But now I believe we're going to reap some of the benefits of their 629 00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:39.199 experience. Um. Maybe I didn't pay attention Tom closely enough, but those 630 00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:44.199 are some big schools that these guys have come from. This is this is 631 00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:46.800 a totally different Arizona team. You remember back when Anthony Smith game from Alabama 632 00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:51.000 back in eighty eight or whatever, and you're thinking, that's been really interesting, 633 00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:53.920 and you know, just the quality of players are just amazing. Right, 634 00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:57.760 Um, we want to I want to follow up with a clip by 635 00:43:57.760 --> 00:43:59.760 Brandon Caroll on that, but we've got to call her on the lane, 636 00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:02.320 James on like, James, how are you doing pretty good? And how 637 00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:07.199 are you guys doing pretty good? But we've heard from you. What's up? 638 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:09.400 That's been a little bit. What's going on? What you got on 639 00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:14.000 your mind? Yeah, I just want to say it looks like the UVA 640 00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:16.280 programs going in the right direction. You know, I'm really excited for the 641 00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:21.599 team and everything. Um it looks like Fishes bringing in some great talent and 642 00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:24.000 everything, and just unfortunately I'm not going to be able to celebrate any of 643 00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:30.800 their success this year going forward. You're still upset about Jade Delora. Yeah, 644 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.119 I just think it's not appropriate, and you know, I think there's 645 00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.800 class comes before winning and doing it the right way. And I don't know 646 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:40.719 if you guys saw it, but in the paper someone did editorial about it 647 00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:45.920 and kind of talked about how some of the stuff is being said is kind 648 00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:51.599 of sliding the truth under it by kind of rewarding things on what happened in 649 00:44:51.639 --> 00:44:53.400 the scenario. Right, So did you see that? I didn't see that. 650 00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:55.760 I didn't see that either, but I hear you, James, and 651 00:44:55.760 --> 00:45:00.639 I you know, I know there's people out there who feel like Arizona didn't 652 00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:02.960 do the right thing there. But you know, because you know, it's 653 00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:06.639 fifty fifties, you know, this is kind of a fifty fifty scenario. 654 00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:09.280 Although there was a juvenile case and then he did subtle in court and civilly, 655 00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:13.159 but let's just say fifty percent he didn't do it. And you know, 656 00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:15.199 he should get a second chance. But the other fifty percent is he 657 00:45:15.239 --> 00:45:19.199 did do it, and you of a is letting this person on the team 658 00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:22.400 is I just can't believe it. So, James, we know that you're 659 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.639 a big women's basketball follow where you follow them to the final four. I 660 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:31.119 think, are you a season ticket holder for football? I you know, 661 00:45:31.159 --> 00:45:34.679 I've been playing a case by case, year by year. You know, 662 00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:37.000 lately, when someone came, I did buy season tickets. And then when 663 00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:40.440 he wasn't paying attention to the program at all, I stopped the buying season 664 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:45.480 tickets. Um, I did have season tickets the first two years at Fish. 665 00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:46.480 It's been head coach. I went to by U, I went to 666 00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:52.119 the UCLA or went to the game in Vegas, and I like to support 667 00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:53.599 the team, but you know, this is a huge misstep and I just 668 00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:58.800 can't support a program like that. You're not alone, You're not You're not 669 00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:01.039 a week, you know, and you have to respect that. So and 670 00:46:01.079 --> 00:46:05.360 if it was if this quarterback with the ASU, I totally understand it. 671 00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:07.719 He could be a four year starter and I totally understand it. But I 672 00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:12.599 thought we had different standards. Yeah, okay, appreciate that, man. 673 00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:16.360 Thank you guys, so you're gonna follow it up. Yeah. So Brandon 674 00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:20.960 Carroll had had some interesting stuff talking about the work that these guys did in 675 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:23.559 the off season and how he thinks that really sets up for you know, 676 00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:27.480 what they're doing, because he's he's an offensive line coach. So here's what 677 00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:31.280 he had to say about all of that the offseason program. A couple of 678 00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:35.480 times I got to be around it. Um, you know, after after 679 00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:39.039 we got done with our June session. UM, it's just a joy to 680 00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:44.280 see these guys working and battling together. Um. Everyone's pushing each other in 681 00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:49.079 the right way. UM. Great competition, They're enjoying each other's company, 682 00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.719 they're enjoying getting better together. UM. We can't ask for anything more than 683 00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:57.239 what they gave us the summer. It's a fantastic offseason. UM. So 684 00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:02.320 it's our job just not mess it up. Tetsaroa looks fantastic. Um. 685 00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:07.639 Just seeing him in this uh, in this last workout, Um, he's 686 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:14.199 absolutely changed his body and his his framework from when he first got here. 687 00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.000 UM. So really excited to see that. Um, you know, we 688 00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:21.920 put the pads on. He stood out immensely. So many of the guys 689 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.840 have changed their body in this offseason again after having a great offseason last time. 690 00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:29.480 Um so, I don't know, there's a ton of them. These 691 00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:35.280 guys have done great and he mentioned the McMillan, but I just wanted to 692 00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:37.440 play the part about how he just said they kept talking about how guys have 693 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:44.119 changed their body, from Michael Wiley to uh, you know, McMillan to 694 00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:47.840 you know, uh, Jaden Delores put on some weight, the lineman, 695 00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:52.199 you know he mentioned I think in that earlier ship that note they put on 696 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:59.199 nine hundred ninety some pounds of weight, you know, team wide, which 697 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:02.320 is crazy. And yeah, you can put on weight and it might not 698 00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:05.880 be good weight, but you know it sounds like this, you know this 699 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:10.719 uh this uh Tyler owns the the strength guy that they got from Alabama. 700 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:14.639 Is it sounds like he's doing a job. Now we're gonna see these guys 701 00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:16.719 on the field. We don't get to see him till Friday because practice for 702 00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:20.199 the media's and open it until Friday. But really we don't get to go 703 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.199 tomorrow or no, oh, thank you very much, Jed. I thought 704 00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:27.159 tomorrow was the first day we really oh, Friday, Friday is the first 705 00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:30.920 practice that's open, that's open to media and the public. You just made 706 00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:37.840 my day. I pay attention to the wake up tomorrow. I'm happy to 707 00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:43.760 do that for you. M Jed was talking talked about the uh, you 708 00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:46.480 know what, what he's seen of the newcomers, and so I'll just we'll 709 00:48:46.480 --> 00:48:49.800 just let him play that because he's got a lot of you guys coming in 710 00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:54.039 as well. It's challenging because the guys that arrived, they arrived June first. 711 00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:58.800 Then they're trying to get acclimated, and then we took some time office 712 00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:01.760 coaches, and then we came back and then they took some time off before 713 00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:07.000 training camp, so there's not been much interaction. I would say. The 714 00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:12.199 guys that stood out to me Polido. You know, Polido got here and 715 00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:15.360 looks the part. You know, he walks on the field. He's all 716 00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:19.480 of six six sixty seven, he's all of three hundred and twenty five pounds 717 00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:24.679 strong. Keanu just got here, but I walked out on the field for 718 00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:28.320 a walk through and I was like, Wow, that's a big boy. 719 00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:34.000 So that's gonna be a huge advantage for us. Carlos Wilson, he's another 720 00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:40.079 one that wasn't didn't participate in spring. He showed up and very explosive slot 721 00:49:40.119 --> 00:49:44.719 receiver. That was a great get for us at the very end of recruiting, 722 00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:47.280 getting him something that was committed to Utah for a long time to get 723 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.320 him to join our program. So those guys are the guys that initially have 724 00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.199 stood out to me, and then for the most part, we're fortunate that 725 00:49:55.280 --> 00:50:00.519 our administration and our university has allowed us to bring and I think it was 726 00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:04.840 fifteen players in January, so we had a pretty good feel or whatever the 727 00:50:04.880 --> 00:50:08.400 exact number was, but in the teams of players that arrived, whether that 728 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:13.480 be through high school recruiting or through the portal, so we were able to 729 00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:16.000 get a lot of those guys in spring ball. Devin Hyatt's another one. 730 00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:20.079 I know. He got here in March first, so he was here for 731 00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:22.039 about or March fifteenth. He was here for about a week and then we 732 00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:27.679 started spring ball. He's had a tremendous offseason. He's up to close to 733 00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.960 one hundred and ninety pounds. So his brother hit twenty four miles per hour 734 00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:36.280 at Giants training camp yesterday, So I'm challenging him to do the same that 735 00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:38.840 would be nice. But so he's gonna be a nice ad for us at 736 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:45.360 the wide receiver position as well. There's so many great, so many great 737 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.559 positive things going on in terms of better players. Yeah, you just and 738 00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.360 that's the thing that I think that's the running theme is that they just got 739 00:50:52.400 --> 00:51:00.960 more guys. And you know, he talked about the biggest most competitive position 740 00:51:01.760 --> 00:51:04.840 is going to be the safeties. He said that, you know, and 741 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:08.320 they talked to Chuck season they got they got five six seven guys Cecil said, 742 00:51:08.559 --> 00:51:13.679 could start you know for those positions in the in the defensive backfield. 743 00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:15.760 And you know, when you're in a position like that, you can't help 744 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:20.079 but be better one because the competition makes you better. But too you've just 745 00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:22.039 got more guys who are better and if somebody falls out, another guy can 746 00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:28.079 step in. So I you know that again, to me, that's the 747 00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:30.679 running theme of what's going on with this uh, with this camp, just 748 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:36.199 that the feeling like that in year three, they've built up the talent where 749 00:51:36.199 --> 00:51:39.079 they feel like they can you know, they can do some things. Um 750 00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:44.360 and you know, well we'll play we'll play a clip about the quarterbacks. 751 00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:47.199 Right, They've got you know, four quarterbacks in camp. They got another 752 00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:51.320 one on the way, you know, the kid from me who had originally 753 00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:54.880 uh um committed to Mississippi. You know, I asked, Jimmy Darty said, 754 00:51:54.880 --> 00:52:00.119 how do you manage having a bunch of good quarterbacks and their expectations that 755 00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:01.559 every one of those guys thinks that they want that they should be able to 756 00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:05.400 come here and start. Sure, So we'll get into all of that here 757 00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:08.199 in a minute, but those were pretty much Jed's comments uh in his in 758 00:52:08.280 --> 00:52:13.360 his portion of the press conference. So we'll play some stuff from from the 759 00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:16.280 other coaches, and then we've got some stuff from Jacob, Jacob Cowing and 760 00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:21.000 Jade Delora. So let's take our break be back. We're still going to 761 00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:22.840 be breaking news with Jason, so stick around.
