Love busy guys. Oh how about
them nuggets, but we won't get

13
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.679
into that. Yes, Now,
we have a good local show today right

14
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.799
with Annie Moore Alice from our sports
son kind of you know him and his

15
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.760
brother are all over the city doing
their stuff for OL Sports. To Son

16
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:08.560
seasons finally over, I think,
so we'll take a rundown of all that,

17
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:11.359
all the championships, a lot of
them, a few of them.

18
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:18.680
Yeah, most recently we had we
had miss stand right, fantastic, she

19
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.959
was great. Conill have another one
tomorrow hopefully, and then on the second

20
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.719
hour we'll see what's up with baseball, right Broby Hutchinson is up covering the

21
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.439
uh. The Wildcats up at the
PAC TWEF tournament had a nice win today

22
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.359
twelve to three, beat the dukie
out of out of Asu, which is,

23
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.040
you know, double fun. It's
nice to win a PAC TWEF tournament

24
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:40.680
game, and it's even better when
you uh, when you beat Asu.

25
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:47.040
Somebody posted that Arizona has faced Asu
four times in PAC TWELF tournament games this

26
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.840
season in different sports and one all
four games basketball, baseball, softball,

27
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.200
and beat follow because I think Arizona
took home the territorial cup, right,

28
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.480
and we should ask this of the
answer if we ask Ikey, we did

29
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:07.680
ask what what do you did?
Wed it? Maybe it wasn't he know

30
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.400
it was it was? It was
it was m Jordan Geist Jordan Guist.

31
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.639
Okay, yeah, so hekey,
it's gonna give you the company line,

32
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.120
blah blah blah. So how how
important do you think it is when you

33
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.360
win it? It's obviously a part
when you lose it, right, when

34
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.000
you win it, it's a big
deal. When you lose it, you

35
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.159
don't think about it. You pretend
like it's not a big deal that people

36
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.759
on your nose, what people will
Yeah, when you when you don't win

37
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.919
it, you kind of like who
cares? But when you win it,

38
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:31.919
it's like, hey, we won
the Territorial Cup. Yeah, no,

39
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.759
I hear you. And that's the
way it always is, right, The

40
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.319
ASA game doesn't matter until you win
it. Right, if you lose it,

41
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.599
you accepting football, you lose it, you go, h okay,

42
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.680
big deal. When you win,
you go, hey we kick your butt.

43
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.280
Right, So no, that's the
way I think that's the way it

44
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.520
works, which is fine. Yeah
we're just trying so well, good year

45
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.599
that way, at least for Arizona, right Yeah, yeah, you know

46
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.039
they're not gonna be building any billboards. But no, but you know,

47
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.879
especially when you win football, that's
the big you know, football sort of

48
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.159
gives no matter what happens in all
the other sports. It's kind of who

49
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.960
wins the football game gets your brag
all year long, because first of all,

50
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.719
it's come to be expected that Arizona's
gonna win in basketball. Softball has

51
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.520
gone back and forth, um some
of the other sports back baseball, back

52
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.280
and forth. So it's always about
the football game. So and then okay,

53
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.199
we're gonna have those two. But
I want to get it, well,

54
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.000
we have really nothing to start with
today outside of the Nuggets advancing.

55
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:31.639
You know what that I've heard today
a couple by a couple of people,

56
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.360
Lebron Lebron, did you listen to
his post game? I did not listen

57
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:38.039
to the post game, but I've
read a lot about it, he said.

58
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.000
I listened to it. I saw
what I'm thinking, kind of like

59
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.520
the current thing. You don't really
know him until you know him, and

60
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.879
I don't know Lebron, and you
listen, he's just that's not that Lebron.

61
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:52.680
I remember. Yeah, he was
very very good on the post game,

62
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.680
very contrite, and you know less
Lebron well, and then you know,

63
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.439
look, he's he's getting to that
at age. And you know,

64
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.319
like a lot of guys, once
you get to that point, you know,

65
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.439
you evaluate at the end of every
sea. True, true, I

66
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.319
want to do this again, but
also let me and let me see if

67
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.800
this is the case with you.
I know you were in sports a long

68
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.600
time ago. Uh, And can
of know the people? Uh? And

69
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.600
I'll tell you my experience when you're
you know my experience. I've been talking

70
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.000
about it. You know these guys, right, they in their minds are

71
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.519
bigger than life, afforded luxuries that
you and I wouldn't be afforded at many

72
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.439
levels, high school, college,
pro Uh. But once it's over,

73
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:38.839
once it's over, once the clapping
stops and real world hits, they're different

74
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.240
people. I'm telling you, I'm
not trying to trying to change your mind,

75
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.160
but they're more you and me.
Yeah, unless this this, Uh,

76
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.439
can you give me that water?
Can not if you're Lebron, not

77
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:57.360
if you're Michael Jordan, not if
your Tiger Woods. Because their lives sure,

78
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.360
oh, incredibly different. But I'm
talking about the people. We but

79
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.759
generally guys we know, you know, I don't know why this guy game,

80
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.519
right, But Mike Bibby, right, he's he's up in Phoenix.

81
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.680
I mean, he made a gazillion
dollars. He's coaching high school basketball in

82
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.199
high school basketball age players just kind
of doing what he might have been doing

83
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:20.399
if he hadn't played college and misunderstood
while here. Uh, he's a good

84
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.360
friend of mine. He just had
his birthday left a week or so ago.

85
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.319
He's been on the show. He
comes on and it's very and Mike

86
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.720
Luke actually teases me because he's I'm
the only one he comes on to stop

87
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.160
too. And we've talked him a
couple of times, right sir, and

88
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.920
just a normal dude, right,
just you would not know that unless you

89
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.279
knew that, right. So,
But my point to he was you see

90
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.600
them change. I'm sure you met
some golfers that are kind of or basketball

91
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.000
players well you know, yeah,
I mean yeah, we haven man athletes

92
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.800
over time who are a little different. But um again, you know a

93
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:55.639
lot of these when we've talked to
some of these guys that you know,

94
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:00.279
we're a great athlete. Eddie Leon
Okay, he's a technically a relative that

95
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.879
was a professional BA a Major League
baseball player, you know, came back

96
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.680
to Tucson, got into some business. I ran into him a couple of

97
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.480
weekends ago on the golf course and
he's just a guy, you know who

98
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.360
came here and made a really good
living as a as a real estate developer

99
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.360
and he's retiring, um, and
just he's out playing golf and you know,

100
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.759
you he walks up to you and
you don't say, hey, there

101
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.000
comes a major League Baseball player.
Is here comes a regular guy who had

102
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.680
a job just like the rest of
us. Yeah, right, guys like

103
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:31.000
Ron Hassey. We had Ron Hassy. He's living in town here hanging out

104
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.560
and he had it. He had
an even better career than than ualy because

105
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.920
he played in some World Series one
or World Series uh, you know,

106
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.759
and that kind of stuff. And
you hear that, oh they're kind of

107
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.079
prickly, they're kind of ornery,
you know, and then eventually saying,

108
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.040
well, maybe that's just not maybe
it was a bad day. You think

109
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.120
of John Feena and Glenn Parker,
very very good dudes. You're doing stuff

110
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:54.920
and just hanging out, and you
know, they made even more money but

111
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.160
yet and they're set up for life
with the money that they made. But

112
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.560
they're all just kind of regular guys
out there living their lives doing what they

113
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.959
do. And it's it's kind of
cool to see those guys. Yeah,

114
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:08.319
yeah, I see Lebron is that
I think is a that's a different kind

115
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.839
of a what's a different because he's
one of the most recognizable athletes out in

116
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.040
the cutting in the world. I've
got a news, breaking news tidbit involving

117
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:19.879
Michael Jordan that'll tell you these guys, guys like that aren't regular. What

118
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.759
did he do. I'm not gonna
tell you. You have a breaking news.

119
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.439
It's a fun thing. And he
didn't show something. He didn't do

120
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.399
something bad. No, no,
no, I'm thinking maybe he bought an

121
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:35.480
island or something close, something close
to that. But you know, so

122
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:42.160
guys like that at a higher left, like Lebron, his life will never

123
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.399
be normal, no matter how normal
he wants to make it. Let's say

124
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.720
he wants to go be a high
school basketball coach, you know, to

125
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:53.560
coach his kid or or what that
that that that can't happen. I don't

126
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.680
think it can. Maybe he can
go just grandkids right in twenty years,

127
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.439
by that time, by that time, but not you know, that's something

128
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.759
in the next couple of years,
In the next couple of years, or

129
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.240
the first couple of years after he's
retired, he's still going to be Lebron.

130
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.800
Well, that's what struck me about
him. Last night, very contract,

131
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.680
very very level headed. You know, we were not committing to whatever.

132
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:15.839
And then they ask him about your
kids. He kind of says,

133
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.600
I you know, what can I
say? And then he talked for two

134
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.839
minutes about him. Yeah. You
know, you know, a guy like

135
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:30.279
Lebron, you almost wonder if they're
not prepared. You know, too many

136
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.360
aren't to be retired. Many aren't. I mean, the end game is

137
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.120
the toughest game, right, because
you don't know. And I've known a

138
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.639
lot of people inside of the sports
and outside of sports who don't know the

139
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.240
end game. And maybe he's just
gonna keep playing just because he doesn't want

140
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.399
to deal with, say, the
end game, you know how it is.

141
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.840
I mean, come on your sixty
whatever. I don't there's sixty four.

142
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.679
We talk about sixty four. So
I am what I am fifty nine

143
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.240
and I hope to do this for
a long time. Yeah, I don't

144
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.279
know how long, right, but
you know, heck enjoy it. Yeah,

145
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.159
and if they enjoy it and they're
gonna pay you like Ron, and

146
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.759
well, the whole thing with Lebron, you know, because again he was

147
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.759
noncommittal last night, but everybody I
should I didn't go. I didn't have

148
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.799
time to go back and see the
interview, Butody clearly noncommittal. You got

149
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.360
to think about stuff. But you
know, I just read a thing that

150
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.600
says if he decides that this is
it, he potentially gives up one hundred

151
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.519
million dollars in salary over the next
two years. Oh yeah, right,

152
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.159
which is crazy, but you know
what he can well, yeah he can.

153
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.600
But let me say also something that
maybe it's been mentioned in the story

154
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.360
you read his son, he wants
to play, wants to play with play,

155
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.039
and that's two more years, Like
how much of it, that's that's

156
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.960
a long way that way, that's
maybe two years. Maybe, well,

157
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.039
because let's say he's not good enough
at USC to come out after the first

158
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.519
year, where somebody was right,
right, and he'll be forty by that

159
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.720
time. Yeah, you know,
I mean, but he didn't look forty

160
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.200
last night. We talked about this, Yester. Yeah, I think you

161
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.600
have you have it's every day,
every day is a different day. And

162
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.480
he looked he looked like Lebron in
certain points. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

163
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.559
he did stop being with thirty in
the first half last night. I

164
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.679
thought, Okay, he's imposing his
will like Lebron can The thing is the

165
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.600
rest of the pieces around him,
sure weren't. Weren't there for you?

166
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:11.519
Sure? And that's the look.
They were the but the seventh seed.

167
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.279
Yeah, they were the seventh seed. They should have gotten this far to

168
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.080
begin They were playing game like like
the like the Miami TA. They should

169
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.679
have gotten this far to begin with. So to expect him to beat the

170
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.919
number one seed or far, to
expect anything but the number one seed to

171
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.679
sweep the seventh seed in the conference
finals, I think baby, people got

172
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.720
a little caught up in Lebron being
able to impose his will against anybody,

173
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:37.159
Well, he couldn't. He certainly
couldn't again, you know, against Yo

174
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.000
Kitchen his guys. Yeah, well, and it was fun. It was

175
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:45.360
good. Four games. I don't
I don't even know what the odds were.

176
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.120
I want was six totally wrong because
I thought it's La Chris were that

177
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.240
didn't play well? Well? I
mean, look, they beat the defending

178
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.039
chaps. Yeah, you know,
yeah, I mean they took care the

179
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.480
defending chap. But Steve said they
weren't the championship team. They were in

180
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.200
a championship you know. Well he
say no, of course, but he's

181
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.480
not gonna stay while they're playing.
We're gonna go through this left to get

182
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:09.240
him and ask, um, Well, it's like, um, how can

183
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.679
I say this competition matters? I've
said this all along, Um, you

184
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.600
coached where you're coach one a team, You got a south Point and get

185
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.759
beat whatever by twenty and what south
Point gonna say? Yeah, we should,

186
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.240
we should should we should be in
by more or whatever? Yeah.

187
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.279
Yeah, yeah, it's like the
basketball, the basketball schedule. Yeah,

188
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.720
now we have some Arizona versus Arizona
stuff. Yeah, there's the meeting exactly.

189
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.600
And if you don't need your meat, you ain't gonna have your You

190
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:43.399
ain't gonna have your pudding in March. Very clever, very clever. Thank

191
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.360
you. Only only the people our
age would know what that means. But

192
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.360
it's true because people talking about,
well the schedule is soft, they didn't

193
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.559
know how to beat. They've got
beat on a day that Princeton was very

194
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.919
good a lot of people, and
Arizona showed who they were kind of like

195
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.480
faded and faded in the end.
So it is what it is. Yeah,

196
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:05.000
I know, I look, I
mean, certainly the time is coming

197
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.399
for Lebron. I can't imagine him
going more than two years, right,

198
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.120
and you know, and if his
kid doesn't come out and get it and

199
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.840
get drafted and get on a team
that Lebron can be on a team with,

200
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.720
yeah, then I can't see him
sticking. Well, it's three three

201
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:26.200
more years sounds like such a long
time. It's like Brady's forty five,

202
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.360
um and still kind of really good. I mean, you have Rogers who's

203
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:35.759
thirty nine? Is thirty nine?
Thirty eight? Come on anything that Brad

204
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.879
Brady even if you wanted to retire
now, he can't because of his ownership.

205
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:45.080
Oh yeah, he can't retire.
Okay, unless he came quarterbacking for

206
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.440
the uh, the Oakland, the
Raider. I'm sure the Raiders sounds would

207
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.879
be bad. That would be no
fun for him. No, I'm getting

208
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.360
hit more than I can't imagine it
would be any more fun, any fun

209
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.799
for you? Right? Okay?
Anything else that's none, that's not breaking.

210
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:05.120
Um, we're gonna have We're gonna
have a fun conversation about a post

211
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:11.559
by Big Game boomer who were the
most sensitive and least sensitive college fan bases.

212
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.000
I'm not gonna read anything until you
tell me because I'm looking forward to

213
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.200
that. Um. Uh, people
the UH. Even though a SU swept

214
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:26.120
Arizona in the in the season opening
UH Baseball Series, arizonas running around talking

215
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:28.840
about how they've scored a outscored a
SCU thirty two ty three in the last

216
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.840
two in the last two games,
including twelve to three today. And they

217
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.039
aston had a bunch of guys,
five guys on the All pack ball team,

218
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:39.200
right, so you know, only
all kinds of hitting. Yep,

219
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.879
yeah, all kinds of hitting.
It's like the saftball team. Yeah,

220
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.240
yeah, and UH and stuff and
stuff like that. So no, I

221
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:52.279
look, Arizona is hitting's only gonna
carry you so far. Arizona's got the

222
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.159
Oregon State Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, they beat Oregon State, which organs

223
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.960
States the number two seed in the
tournament. They beat Oregon State, they're

224
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.360
into the they're into the four team
bracket. Then anything can happen. But

225
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.879
the question is, can you who's
on the other one? Oh, it's

226
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:09.320
an issue Oregon State rights and see
that game does That game doesn't matter anymore.

227
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.399
That's a tough desk. Yeah,
the Oregan State A SUE game doesn't

228
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.200
matter because if Oregon State beats Arizona, that the worst that Oregon State can

229
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.120
be is one and one, and
they will be because they're the highest seed.

230
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.159
They will advance, are they It's
it's just the people from these pods

231
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.840
events. Yeah, well no,
there's three three people from the pods,

232
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.399
and then there's one team it's a
wild comes in as a walk. That

233
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.759
would be Arizona. No, it
could be somebody who's two and oh you

234
00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.159
know, okay, I guess so
it doesn't like the be Arizona because Arizona

235
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.480
is an eight seed there. If
they're one and one and being considered as

236
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:50.279
walker, they're probably tied with somebody
who's probably Okay, so what Arizona's win

237
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.679
over as you did, hasn't made
the Oregon State Arizona the Oregon State a

238
00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:00.720
sue game kind of meaningless. Uh
yeah, uh, let's say Arizona beats

239
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:07.080
uh except for maybe Organsas possible.
It's a very very weird format, right,

240
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.639
I saw I read something about that's
one of the weirdest things that they

241
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:15.159
put together. They put in They've
got three three pods with three teams in

242
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.519
each fin Only nine teams made the
tournament, three teams in each pot,

243
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.720
so you play the other two teams. So basically you go too and oh

244
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.279
you advanced into the four team bracket, that one more team gets in because

245
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.919
nobody, no, you can't have
another two and those fix is it?

246
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.360
Eusuly gonna be the highest seed that
goes water. Isn't that though? Just

247
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:35.519
the way to get more games in? Is that what they wanted just to

248
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.519
seven play more, not none.
They didn't want to just do a double

249
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.039
elimination bracket. That could be way
too many games. That's what like women's

250
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:48.960
didn't have that, right, Tea
just played elimination and no singles elimination eight

251
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.399
team, Uh yeah, twelve team, nineteen bracket. Yeah, so okay,

252
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:54.879
because that's all the teams we gotta
go. He's gonna be calling us

253
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.720

This is I on the book on Fox

305
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.759
Sports fourteen fifty. Hey, welcome
back to I themall, you know,

306
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:59.200
Patch Sports fourteen fiftee. I'm Steve. Each day now we have had the

307
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:03.359
more relish of sports do Sun dot
com? Andy? How are you good?

308
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:04.759
How you got to doing? We're
doing fine. We wanted to have

309
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:10.400
you on, uh talking about a
lot of spring sports. Everything's done with

310
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.039
So at the end of the day, how many titles and maybe finish a

311
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.839
finalist? Finalists? Did the Arizona
or Southern Arizona have ten? I think

312
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.799
about eighteen team titles for Southern Arizona. Wow. Wow, that's a lot,

313
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:32.759
approaching over forty individuals. Yeah,
well South Point big a big part

314
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:37.759
of that with sixteen and thirty individuals. Well wow, okay, so um,

315
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.160
and this that's for the entire school
year, right, so um yeah,

316
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:47.119
it's from uh, from the ball, you know, football and all

317
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:53.400
that cross country through winter, which
uh wrestling and basketball through the spring,

318
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.599
softball, baseball, the whole the
whole school year. Was there was there

319
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:02.920
a sport that you know you had
the most or was it kind of spread

320
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:06.559
out? Well, it's kind of
spread out. But you know, obviously

321
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:11.400
sunny Stide continued dominance in wrestling,
UM thirty six, something like thirty six

322
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:17.559
or thirty seven. It gave me
at state championships and seven out of Poteen

323
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.680
individual champions I mean that's just a
machine. I don't know what it's going

324
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:29.119
to stop. And then obviously the
Cell Point boys and girls soccer with Swift

325
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:33.559
Gang and Kelly Pierce Um, and
then the softball with sell Point and so

326
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:40.279
and Sabino, Oh and in mcnlee's
Foothills girls and boys tennis teams. I

327
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:44.480
mean, these are all just machines
that we have a we have a stranglehold

328
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.839
on the state. How is that
happening? Well, they like to say

329
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.920
that the country pub sport, but
you know, softball is not getting right.

330
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.759
Two sons, two sons of Mecca
for softball. I mean it basically

331
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:03.480
started here with Kendrea Um, the
fast pitcher, and uh, it's just

332
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:08.400
taken off and Sorrow handed off to
canyan Ello, canyon Ello handed off to

333
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.279
sell Point and sell Points run with
it. It is very cyclical. And

334
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.960
then the lower divisions you have a
Sabino which is dominating. We don't we

335
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.519
don't really have a six A Sunnyside
has a great to explore her and Ariana

336
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.599
Ross and Houser who's probably going to
be operated by view of a when it's

337
00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:30.480
when she's able too. She's only
a freshman. But yeah, softballs King

338
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.039
and then our baseball we don't have
a spring training, but our high school

339
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.480
baseball of Heuba College, that's basically
our spring training down here. And he

340
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.799
told you of a and they're also
but it's some of our high school baseball

341
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:47.279
teams can beat a lot of junior
colleges. Wow wow, well yeah,

342
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:51.039
I mean, and then it's kind
of we've always kind of been that way

343
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:55.519
though we've been a softball baseball school, I mean town for a really long

344
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:59.599
time. Basketball has gotten a little
better, Um, how do we do

345
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.000
across basketball? Well? Basketball,
if it wasn't for the open division,

346
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.799
self Point would have won again the
girls, but they had that open divisions,

347
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.440
which meant the best four a team
was starting in with the best five,

348
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.119
eighteen, best fifty team and they
had the t Leah Henderson, the

349
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:19.240
six footer who Idea offered, she's
she's winning state championships in the eight hundred

350
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:25.079
and four hundred track, so she's
and she's solid. But would you would

351
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.799
happen with the old vision they had
to give up a possible for a championship.

352
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.079
Complain it was like when B John's
football teams had to give up before

353
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:38.279
a first the Open Division. Um
that too, but basketball, it was

354
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:44.880
kind of a down year as far
as boys individual talent. We didn't have

355
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.880
any major D one. But I
think it's slowly coming back. Okay,

356
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:53.319
do they have to go up if
or or do they make that choice?

357
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.599
They have to um they if if
they may get to whatever the cut line

358
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.039
is, they have to go up. Although this year they added ah,

359
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.119
if you lose the first round,
you get to go back. The prom

360
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.920
is they won those first two rounds, so they were stuck. They had

361
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.839
to stay in the Open Division.
Okay, all right, so you know,

362
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:17.720
we we talked about some of these
teams that are just machines. You

363
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.240
know, we had Natricia stan On
yesterday talk you know, salth Points won

364
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.839
five state softball championships in a row. She comes in and wins the last

365
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:32.640
two after they have a coaching change. Um, Sabino's won a bunch in

366
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.200
a row. I mean softball wise, are these girls getting the you know,

367
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.079
getting chances at the Pac twelve level? I know, the Phoenix,

368
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.839
the girl. I think the Greenway
picture is going to is going to use

369
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.599
c LA. But um, how
many of these how many of these athletes

370
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:56.039
are getting shots at the Pac twelve? Well, the whole infield for you,

371
00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:02.000
they was all Tucson. Um,
They're they're you know, they're getting

372
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:07.160
shots. A lot of the stars
in softball right now are sophomores and they

373
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.400
can't talk to colleges till their juniors. And that's something that Mike Andrea really

374
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:17.799
pushed. UM. But you know, the starter for sell Point, the

375
00:25:17.839 --> 00:25:22.039
pitcher is going to be Yu.
So it's it's um, It's it's real.

376
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.880
It's really a machine here. And
I think there are a couple of

377
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:32.079
football players that that will be offered
when they are able to UM. I

378
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:36.279
mentioned Rothen Houser and as a couple
of big hitters from Empire from uh,

379
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:40.880
well, there was a kid from
CDO who went to U a tagalogue.

380
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:45.599
I believe her name is um To. You know, it's it's always been

381
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.720
there since you guys were writing about
it. It's it's been a streamline with

382
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:55.640
Southern Arizona. Okay, So you
talked about Arizona having on all Tucson UH

383
00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:00.960
team Enfield um is. And this
is a broad question. I don't have

384
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:03.759
the answer, That's why I'm asking, but it's a kind of a strange

385
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:10.400
question. So Arizona, we know
softball here is pretty good. But in

386
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:15.599
football when when like Jay or somebody's
is he Texas good like Bijan? So

387
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.480
are these girls Arizona good or Packed
twelve good like the ones coming up?

388
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:27.960
The ones coming up right now are
probably small m D one. There's no

389
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:34.799
really big hurlers hurlers, there's no
really big hitters, um but we just

390
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:38.200
don't know. In a couple of
years there there's a there's a gap right

391
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.839
now between the seniors leading and the
software is coming out and a ton of

392
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:48.160
great freshman. The Empire picture is
a freshman. So it's it's hard to

393
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.920
gauge because you get to count on
the club scene. And if you remember,

394
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.000
Mike never today never recruited those kids. He always waited till they were

395
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.880
juniors. But then they opened up
to everybody, and that's other schools got

396
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.640
good. They started getting the younger
kids, but they moved back to you

397
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.480
can't talk to juniors anymore, ye
until their juniors, So it's kind of

398
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.359
hard to gauge. I feel like
this is the first time we're hearing about

399
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.839
Empire. Yeah as a as A
as A softball program. Is that Are

400
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.519
they relatively new to this? Have
they've been building toward this word an empire?

401
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.079
Well, they had. They had
two state championships, um I wanted

402
00:27:23.079 --> 00:27:26.079
to say six years ago, and
then then they had to go to five

403
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.279
A that they were getting big and
they made it to the semi finals,

404
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.480
and that's five A is very tough
in all sports because you're dealing with phoenix

405
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.920
teams. But then they built Michael
Mountain and a couple of other high schools,

406
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.880
so they went back down to three
A. And if it wasn't for

407
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:45.319
Sabino, Empire would be the team. There's always that one team that's holding

408
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:49.960
another team back and Sabino. I
think Sabino's beat them like eight times in

409
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:53.759
a row. I believes and four
of those my t trainnings one went to

410
00:27:53.799 --> 00:28:00.079
fifteen innings. So it's a if
it was it wasn't for Sabbino, her

411
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.880
would be the team to be talking
about the three A level, and those

412
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.480
three level there's always one or two
just like football, there's always one or

413
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:10.440
two gems that can make it to
a D one level. You're talking about

414
00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.279
the players, let's talk a little
about the h and we don't have to

415
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:17.359
talk about specific people that you want
to, but the coaching must be just

416
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:21.839
equally as good because that doesn't happen
by accident. Where the kids play well

417
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:26.799
and whatever, but they're getting taught
well too well. Look at soccer,

418
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.640
do you have wilf Gang wherever and
Kelly Pierce. I don't know if you

419
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:37.440
can find another duo of that level
anywhere at any sport. You guy who

420
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.519
know Wolfgang? I think he's spoken
to Kelly and you know she's wanted every

421
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:47.400
level. That's just incredible in itself
right there. And then football you know

422
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.559
you have Kelly Fowler, you have
Tricia Sudaniev and he could be as I

423
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:56.480
think you're going to talk to,
Yeah, try to and she will that

424
00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.240
team to win her positive attitude when
the kids, when the kids um tarped

425
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:07.519
that field, she made it a
positive we're wearing this together, let's go

426
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.559
get this. And you know they
were. They were stalled three times,

427
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:18.079
I believe, and then they got
to play. And Jason Heisi's UH coach

428
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.039
at CDEO Baseball when they were down, I just was listening to him the

429
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.759
d I never write what I hear
in the dugout, but he was,

430
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.720
man, I wanted to go up
to bat, and you know, I

431
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:36.480
think that's her Kanathon a row And
they have six six in the makers so

432
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:42.720
four of one, four of one
MLB World Series championships from the CDO Baseball

433
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:45.599
team alone. Yeah, so let
me ask you. Can I ask you

434
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.759
that real quick? To do it? I won't forget Heisy. So you

435
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.519
know he was on the show a
week or so ago. I've talked to

436
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.200
him before. Don't know a whole
lot about him. You probably know him

437
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:59.559
better. Uh, intense dude,
very straightforward dude. Is he any different

438
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.599
than that? And what what makes
him with the kids? What? How

439
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:07.759
did he play for him? Well? Heisie's kind of guy who I think

440
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.759
people are afraid of because of the
way it comes off off, but if

441
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.519
you know him, he's a really
good guy and a great coach. He

442
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:22.519
just very stern and straightforward, and
the players play for him. And CDO

443
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.640
has always had that and their coaches, they've always had someone who knew what

444
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:32.160
they were doing. And it used
to be a machine in itself because you

445
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:37.960
had everybody who made the majors played
to the CDO Little League Michael Gallis.

446
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.920
It was all just your expected of
you. So by the time he got

447
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:48.200
the CDO, you already played together
for five or six years. And no

448
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.720
other school has that besides CDO and
no Gallis interesting makes sense, right,

449
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.400
Well, yeah, and it's very
interesting because yeah, I mean if the

450
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:00.359
guys grow up playing together, you
know all this time, yea each other

451
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.519
one they there's there's the camaraderie of
it, but then there's just the knowledge

452
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.440
of each other on the count and
they've learned the same way, and they've

453
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:11.720
learned exact way exactly, because I
think Sabino had that for a while because

454
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.240
you know, my son played it. It's in Sabino Canyon Little League and

455
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:18.680
yeah, you know, all the
all the all the little leaguers coming up,

456
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:21.759
you know, talked about playing at
Sabino UM and there you know,

457
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:23.759
there are a whole bunch of them, uh, pretty broken up. Now,

458
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.119
Um, you can never count on
some of those high schools getting those

459
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:33.200
kids. Now it's a open enrollment
and they all wind up at cell Point

460
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.759
or Cdo or I have a Bridge
or if Kenny the Foothills. Now,

461
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:44.319
yeah, but Sabino is a great
baseball program in itself, but it's just

462
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:48.680
not that same. I remember when
the CD won a baseball championship, a

463
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:52.039
parent brought out a CDEO TENU Little
League All Star shirt in the name for

464
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.599
the same. Not only they grow
up playing together. If they know who

465
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.559
the picture is going to be,
they know who the infel is going to

466
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.960
be. No animosity, they already
know what's going to happen. Yeah,

467
00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:05.279
which, well, again, you
know, getting back to the you know

468
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.599
the personal connection I had to this
year. My son's thirty, he's going

469
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.079
to be thirty next week. When
he came out of there, you know,

470
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:13.680
his twelve year old year, there
were a lot of kids even at

471
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:16.960
that time who didn't or I actually
let me say that when he was thirteen

472
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:22.759
and fourteen, who didn't play in
the thirteen and fourteen level because they were

473
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:27.200
all playing club ball, and so
kids started to leave little league to go

474
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.279
play club baseball. And you know, some of the best players in the

475
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.880
area were no longer playing little league, and at least that was out on

476
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:38.359
the East Side where we were.
So's it's getting that way more and more.

477
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:44.279
It's it's that way with softball.
Obviously there's no really league like softball,

478
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:46.759
but uh yeah, baseball baseball players
play, as you know, on

479
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:51.400
several teams in the summer. Yeah, so they all they all know each

480
00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:53.480
other. All the football players all
know each other. It's it's a different

481
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:59.920
world. There's the Internet and the
club as just matd we were playing against

482
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.880
your friends, and it's a very
interesting dynamic. For instance, in the

483
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:09.799
in the Sabino Empire game, right
when they were done, the Sabino and

484
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:15.240
Empire pitcher traveled together Phoenix because they're
on the same club team. Yeah yeah,

485
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.160
and there's gonna be there's gotta be
some rivalry, you know, in

486
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:22.519
house rivalry because they played with each
other so so much. Yeah. Yeah,

487
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:27.480
Hey, so Andy, I'm already
I'm already getting football on the brain.

488
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:31.599
So football next season. Um,
from what we saw this last season,

489
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:34.839
Well can we you know, who
are we looking at? Uh,

490
00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:40.599
you know next season in town.
Well, at the highest level, you're

491
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:49.839
you're probably looking at at Morana UM. They're they're gonna come out, you

492
00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:52.680
know, really hot, really hard. I mean they came close last year.

493
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:58.839
I'm just trying to think in the
five A level here. Oh yeah,

494
00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:04.880
Morana, Sunnyside, Um, Sianaga, ironwood Ridge the same, the

495
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.840
same cast. But the five A
is difficult because you didn't have to match

496
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:14.239
up with the Phoenix team and sell
Point. You know, it seems to

497
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:16.480
be getting a lot of the players, so they're they're gonna be one to

498
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:21.280
watch again. And uh, but
you have to go down to the three

499
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:25.119
level to see how well two sons
gonna do because that seems to be where

500
00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:30.960
we've been dominating us for Sabino UM, you know, we're escaping all those

501
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:37.440
big kids. But the thing about
football and Tucson is it it's all or

502
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:45.119
Valley, Baale, Sarrita Foothills and
not to any any b. John Robinson's

503
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:51.519
on the way. While some will
tell you there's a couple of Sabino Um,

504
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:58.159
there's a I think Tucson High is
going to start getting some the Avenue

505
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:04.480
coach U that'll be determined this summer
when we go out and look around.

506
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:07.639
There's still some kids we don't even
know where they're going to show up at.

507
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:13.280
Yeah, they're transferring, and that's
something we never had to deal with

508
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.559
you before. But the transfer machine
has it. It's like the transfer port

509
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:22.599
on. It's his high schooling.
So as far as individual talent, I

510
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:27.880
think Sabino has a lot of individual
talent. Branna Always has a good quarterback,

511
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.599
South Point has a lineman, tank
avertie. It's going to be interesting

512
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:38.079
to see how they respond without Jay
Dobbins as a coach. But that's what

513
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:42.360
we're dealing with here with the Open
Division. If the teams are really well,

514
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.719
they're kind of stuck. If I
could just one quick question, of

515
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.960
all the championships and all the storied
lines out there, what was the most

516
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.400
impressive to you? The most impressive? And it's going to be hard for

517
00:35:54.440 --> 00:36:01.000
you guys understand what Probably the Kenny
Always tennis team. They're like thirty one

518
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:06.199
and one over the last twelve years
or something like that. I mean,

519
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:10.559
that's just hard. It's hard to
put my mind around that. But also

520
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:22.239
in individual it's in Keylie wild as
self point running, Carlos Testaurian winning an

521
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:29.039
individual golf championship for sell Point.
These are all these are all just things

522
00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:32.280
people's never heard of. But oh
and then the Sunnyside, that's just a

523
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:37.920
given now, it's it's it's probably
beyond impressive. Now, Audrey jimenez'ry to

524
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:40.360
come back with her senior year.
To me, in my mind, she's

525
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:45.639
passed Kensey Fellow is the best high
school a girl athlete in twoson history,

526
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:52.440
because Kelly had two national awards.
But Audrey is winning international championships, world

527
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:59.440
championships, and she's gonna win four
state championships and wrestling in a row before

528
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:04.039
she goes off the Olympics. It's
it's gonna be hard for anyone to match

529
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:07.599
that in any sport for a girl. Um, so we'll proably the most

530
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:10.480
impressive ones. All right, Andy, Well, thank you very much.

531
00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:15.079
Hey, thanks about Andy. Appreciate
it, man, no problem getting appreciate

532
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:16.920
it. Doctor. Later he puts
the things in perspective, and you you

533
00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.840
know the girls somehow. Yeah.
The wrestler, well, my, my,

534
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:29.880
my random knees is a wrestler.
Oh okay, there's that connection.

535
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.039
Okay, okay, look, were
already over. Let's go all right,

536
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:35.119
let's take a break. We're gonna
come back and we'll take your call.

539
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:44.920
you know it's been successful for nearly
forty years. Now take a look back

540
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.800
at the Ludolson era. In my
new book, Lessons from Loot. It

541
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:50.840
was a labor of love through the
eyes of twenty five former players, coaches,

542
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:53.280
and friends to give insight to the
coach and the man who led them,

543
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:57.880
competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his twenty

544
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.199
five years as Arizona's beloved coach.
Lessons from News is an insight to how

545
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:07.000

powerhouse. What one email me at Steve

he said. Like he said,
um and some of those individuals. I

592
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:29.760
have no idea when you think that, you know, we've got teams from

593
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:32.320
one eight really through five A there's
a couple of six eight teams. That's

594
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:37.400
a lot of opportunities. But you
know, as he said that in some

595
00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:42.239
of the lower divisions. Um where
you're not you're not up against these you

596
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:46.679
know, five thousands populations schools up
in up in Phoenix that they seem to

597
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:51.199
have they seem to have a chance. You know all the school seemed to

598
00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:54.360
be pretty small here in uh in
southern Arizona for a lot of different yea,

599
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:58.840
and that makes sense, that makes
sense. But the quality of athletes

600
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:01.320
for yeah, no, it's still
it's still good. You know, you

601
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:05.760
still get your bees on Robinson's and
these kids that are coming out and going

602
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.800
pro or going you know, major
major college and stuff like that, they're

603
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:13.599
still around and they always will be
because you know, two sounds a good

604
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:16.039
place to live, and people come
and they raise their kids here and sports

605
00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:20.599
are you know, you can play
sports year around here, and you know,

606
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:23.199
you know, Andy talked about how
some of these kids that play club

607
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:28.800
ball, whether it's basketball or softball
or soccer or whatever, they play year

608
00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:31.199
around. I mean again, you
know, during my time with involved in

609
00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:36.639
athletics at at Saint Gregory, you
know there were kids who didn't play the

610
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:40.400
high school sports because they it's particularly
soccer, because they were in club you

611
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:45.880
know, if if if if the
club season coincided with a high school season.

612
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:50.760
They play club Yeah, the softball, I mean the soccer. That's

613
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:53.159
kind of strange because most of the
time it didn't. Yeah, well it

614
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:58.000
did, it did at our school. You're talking about baseball and soccer.

615
00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:00.519
No, I'm talking about soccer soccer
and soccer soccer, and like kids and

616
00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:06.039
kids who played soccer, yeah,
a club team. They weren't on the

617
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:08.440
soccer team at Saint Gregory because they're
busy playing clubs. This season. Go

618
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:12.960
because let me say there's a rule. At least white kids played, they

619
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.440
had soccer season, and then they
had to know, well and what well

620
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:21.199
that was because in one a there
are two soccer seasons. Okay, that's

621
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:23.159
it. That's it. That's it
was. There was a fall season.

622
00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:28.440
That's a winner season, and and
and Saint Gregory played in the fall season.

623
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:30.599
That's it. And and so kids
were kids were playing club soccer during

624
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.440
that. Yeah, that's it.
Because now, or at least when the

625
00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:37.800
kids played that, they had this
section, you know, three four months,

626
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:40.840
they couldn't play. They couldn't play
you know, the league, the

627
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:45.840
club because they discontinued it until it
was over. And for the longest time.

628
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:49.480
You know, Saint Gregor had had
an athletic director, Paul Barronowski,

629
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:53.519
who would tell kids, you know, you're playing high school and that's you

630
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:58.639
don't have a choice, and they
would you know, but he laughed,

631
00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:00.519
and then it's kind of like,
you know, there was nobody there was

632
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.199
there was nobody there to say,
you know, hey, yeah, I

633
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:06.960
mean again, I think I mentioned
this, you know, just like I

634
00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.599
think it was last week. You
know, our best baseball player one year

635
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:15.280
didn't play baseball because he was busy
playing club basketball. I understand that.

636
00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:20.039
I think you even asked that of
coach yesterday. Where where you play?

637
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.559
Where do you get seen more use
it, more serious whatever? And she

638
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.320
talked about well, playing for the
high schools, for the team, for

639
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:29.880
the team in the school, not
about you. It's about It's about the

640
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:31.000
team and you, right, And
so they know that they're gonna you know,

641
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:36.840
they go to a summer tournament in
Press Scott or Ducks or wherever you

642
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:39.960
know, uh, you know,
you you that's where you see your college

643
00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:44.480
uh college scouts and coaches and stuff
like that. I always come back to

644
00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:49.960
the story of it was the first
tournament we played at my daughter she got

645
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:52.440
on a club team. She just
wanted to play in this summer. I

646
00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:54.159
mean, it wasn't like I need
to go get a college scholarship. She

647
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:58.320
was she had already gotten the chance. She was walking on at a D

648
00:44:58.400 --> 00:45:04.239
three school. But uh where the
tournament and it was either pres reflects if

649
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:07.440
I remember it was the first club
tournament that we went to plan the women.

650
00:45:07.679 --> 00:45:12.239
Yeah, a girls team and it
was a softball team, and two

651
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:15.039
moms behind me were talking about whether
their daughter was going to go play at

652
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:19.679
a s U or Arizona. And
I'm like, I wanted to turn out

653
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.239
and say, you know what,
ladies, my daughter is better than both

654
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:27.719
your daughters and she's walking on D
three. Your girls are not going to

655
00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:30.880
ASU or Arizona. But I always
said this, have said this off and

656
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:36.440
obviously the worst seem to happen to
the kids with the parents and they're they're

657
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:39.559
delusional. Yeah, let's talk about
delusional. Let's go to the big game.

658
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:44.519
Boomer back, Okay, Okay,
it's a big game. Boomer who

659
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:46.559
we love because he's always giving us
something to talk about, right or wrong,

660
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:50.360
right, whether it's right or wrong, whether it's good or bad,

661
00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:57.320
or whatever came out with the top
twenty most and least sensitive college fan bases.

662
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:00.960
So this implies it all, you
know, fan base as a whole,

663
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:04.960
not just your basketball fan base or
whatever. So which way you're gonna

664
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.719
go first? Well, the most
sensitive would I kind of okay? Really

665
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:14.639
the most sensitive fan base of all? Arkansas really yeah, and which I

666
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:20.519
I sec that kind of makes sense, maybe because they're not their fans lose

667
00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:25.280
their minds, maybe because they're not
considered in the elite about right. Then

668
00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:31.039
Georgia okay because we're not Ohio State, and then Ohio State because we're not

669
00:46:31.119 --> 00:46:37.760
quite who are Tennessee which I would
have put Tennessee number one, especially when

670
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:43.880
you think back remember the coaching situation
when they when they all completely lost their

671
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:49.000
minds? Right? And then Nebraska
Okay, okay, which makes sense.

672
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:54.239
Auburn Kansas, which I believe is
weighed heavily by their basketball fan base,

673
00:46:57.719 --> 00:47:01.800
Miami Florida, which I'm sure because
they used to be great at football and

674
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:06.039
now they're not that fans are like
what the hell I'm still talking about the

675
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.079
LSU, which I think I would
have put higher than nine, all right,

676
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:13.440
and then Michigan, which would I
would have put higher than ten.

677
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:19.760
I think I would have gone Tennessee, Ohio State, then probably Auburn,

678
00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:24.239
LSU, Michigan that was the most
sensitive, most Okay, so let's go.

679
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:28.440
Let's go with the top ten.
The other way. I think this

680
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.239
is the least censor. I think
they're implying that the ten fans are just

681
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:35.079
kind of rolled with the punches,
right, and that what you interpret the

682
00:47:36.800 --> 00:47:42.800
Missouri number one. Wisconsin, Okay, I think I think Wisconsin's pretty rapid

683
00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:45.039
fans. I mean, look,
I spent the day before a game on

684
00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:51.280
State Street in Madison before and you
know, their fans were they were great,

685
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:57.400
but they're they're very rabid pit which
are kind of like okay, Washington,

686
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:00.679
UM, which I think we're very
rabbit. But they calm, they

687
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:07.800
cooled off ever since the glory the
ninety years, Glory years. Yeah.

688
00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:15.599
Um, Mississippi State Okay, Okay, Perdue, all right, Arizona.

689
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:22.519
This he broke the internet. I'm
gonna get him on the show. Think

690
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:29.519
he got Minnesota, can't Colorado?
I'm Oklahoma State right now? The show.

691
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:31.519
We need a guess anyway, right
right, we needed interpretation of this.

692
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:36.719
What the hell are you thinking?
That was cut because just on the

693
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:40.960
basketball fan base alone, sure Arizona
should be in the top twenty most sense.

694
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:45.159
If he's talking football, I get
it right. If he's talking in

695
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.639
basketball, he's way right, That's
what I'm saying. The basketball, yeah,

696
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:52.880
way skews the whole fan base.
He's not on Facebook where I where

697
00:48:52.880 --> 00:48:57.679
I would put I would put them
to most sensitive. I'm gonna send him

698
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:00.639
a note right now. We're gonna
go to what do we do? What

699
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:02.920
do we do tomorrow? Do we
say that we need? I just put

700
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.639
them in the tire YEA, get
in here this week and we want to

701
00:49:07.639 --> 00:49:13.039
talk about this because after what we
just went through with Tommy Lloyd and the

702
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:17.440
recruiting and in the whole bed,
you know, I I'm not gonna put

703
00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:22.800
them anywhere on the ledger of the
least sensitive fan basis. I'm gonna put

704
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:27.239
them over to the other side.
Look, Utah's over there. Uta,

705
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.519
I think is a rabbit, but
a great fan base. Right. You

706
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:34.719
don't ever hear of Utah fans losing
their mind and very level well not level

707
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.800
headed, but at least their programs
are very good. Yeah, So there's

708
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:42.079
my note. Could you come out
of borrow we loved you the last time

709
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:46.800
I had to butter them up.
But we answer questions, try to lure

710
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:52.719
is what you think, Like,
Okay, Oregon State fan right there in

711
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.760
the least in the number fourteen.
At least they're fun. Yeah. I

712
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.039
mean there was about a three year
period that I could and stand their fans

713
00:50:00.440 --> 00:50:07.320
because they were they acted like they
had always been winning in football. It

714
00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:08.760
was in the late nineties. I
remember they got really good. They went

715
00:50:08.800 --> 00:50:13.320
to a festiball and all that kind
of stuff, and they would come and

716
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:16.119
sit next to and they were idiots. I hated those guys, and I

717
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:20.400
mean more than once. I said, you guys, you guys act like

718
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:23.519
you've been winning since the nineteen fifties. I said, you've been good for

719
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:30.079
a year and a half. Calm
the hell down. It was on the

720
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:32.760
stadium across the we used to sit
across the aisle from the visiting fans,

721
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:37.320
like, calm down, you guys
are good this year, but you haven't

722
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.559
been good in a really long time. I said, when Arizona's record against

723
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:45.000
you was like fifteen and one,
you guys suck, so just relax,

724
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:49.239
so you know, but they're much
better now. I mean, we see

725
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:51.360
you know, you see them,
you see them in tailgates and stuff like

726
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:55.960
that. They're fine, BYU fan. I hate those guys. We talked

727
00:50:57.000 --> 00:51:00.320
about that. Don't get your I'm
gonna I'm not gonna go and okay,

728
00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.599
Florida State fan among the least sensitive, no way, Yeah, I got

729
00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:07.719
him. We're gonna see if he
comes on tomorrow. Yeah, this needs

730
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:09.800
to be explained. Okay, Notre
Dame fan among the least sensitive, because

731
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:13.880
you're what. Notre Dame fan is
calm because they know they're good, kind

732
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:15.559
of it. Everything. They're just
as good as they need to be,

733
00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:21.199
right right, Once in a while, compete for a national championship in something

734
00:51:21.599 --> 00:51:24.480
and they're you know, just not
basketball. Yeah, okay, well I

735
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:30.280
asked him, so let's see what
happens. I forget it. It's um,

736
00:51:30.320 --> 00:51:32.880
it's um Shaeffer. I have his
picture right here as you under.

737
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:37.320
Dude done Whittaker. Okay, there

738
00:51:37.440 --> 00:51:39.840
let's get let's get him on and
