R two SAD and I Heeart Radio
Station. Good afternoon, and everybody,

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.679
welcome to I on the Ball here
on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve

5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.320
Rivera, you're Jagon's oss, and
welcome to Monday. Yeah. Another torture

6
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.800
day. Back from Dallas barely.
How is the weather horrible? Horrible?

7
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.359
Right man? You know we complain
about how hot it is. You know,

8
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.439
there's nothing. It is so stiff
over there. This is like it

9
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.119
is twice. It's like you can't
move in the thick. Yeah. Yeah,

10
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.200
that's the feeling that you walk outside
and it's thick. So I lived

11
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.640
there many years ago before I got
my job here, and that's how summers

12
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.159
were, and we just did in
the pool. Yeah, because it's you're

13
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:54.719
gonna get wet no matter what.
Yeah. Yeah, and I mean where

14
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:57.320
we're you know, we know what's
comment. Yeah, well back, but

15
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.359
it was it was thick. It's
a miserable. You gotta loose clothes.

16
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.079
It's just uncomfortable. Yeah, I
had to wear church clothes on Sunday because

17
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.719
part of the thing that we went
to wash. Yeah, because you know,

18
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.480
I can't wear a button down shirt, you know, like a dress

19
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.920
shirt. You have to have an
undershirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

20
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.920
So yeah, it's called the Sean
Miller look exactly. I don't like that

21
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.480
you try, but it was it
was hot. Okay, well you miss

22
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:30.079
Friday. Friday, we talked a
little about the the pact of media Day,

23
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.640
a lot of things going on.
We'll go back and revisit it now

24
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.239
that you're here. We have a
couple of great guests and we'll talk about

25
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.200
that today. Right, Matt Mordano
is going to come on. He was

26
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.680
there. We'll kind of ask him
some Arizona questions about you know, I

27
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.280
want to ask him his thoughts on
you know, Jaden Delora and what he

28
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.799
said and all that kind of stuff
because that was sort of the story comes

29
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.439
you know, coming out at least
here. Uh. And then so he's

30
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.159
gonna come on at three fifteen.
Then at four fifteen we're gonna have James

31
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.280
Creppia. Um, he's been a
guest a number of times. He covers

32
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:02.040
Oregon and he was the guy that
got into the conversation with George Klafkoff about

33
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.760
whether or not the media deal was
done. Yeah, right, right,

34
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.000
and and so we'll ask it and
to get clarification with it. Yeah right.

35
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:15.039
So we'll get his his thinking a
couple of days later, now removed

36
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.879
from you know, you know,
what does he think of all that?

37
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.400
You know, what's going on up
at Oregon? Yeah, yeah, yet

38
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.360
right right, Okay, No,
sounds good. We should get some calls

39
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.159
today five two o four one seventy
four forty if you want to call in.

40
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.520
I know I've gutting texall weekend um
talking about the show, talking about

41
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.599
the PAC twelve. Everyone's still waiting. Everyone just needs to be patient.

42
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.960
It's obvious that they don't have anything
but to have something. Yeah, you

43
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:45.039
know, on the day, I
think it was a bad look feel,

44
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:49.560
a bad feel that Kleiavkoff had to
get up there, and I wasn't expecting

45
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.080
him to announce it, but that
it hadn't already been that it wasn't out

46
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:53.840
of the way right, So it
was kind of a bad feel. But

47
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:59.680
once it got going, coaches took
the stage and and and players took the

48
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:05.280
stage age it seemed to kind of
dissipate right now after the weekend. I

49
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.599
think it's kind of like, okay, they they I feel like they sort

50
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.719
of weathered that. Now let's just
get it done. Well, are they?

51
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.080
Was it the storm? Although Clarf
didn't come off great, he did

52
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:19.199
not. It's surprising for a major
commissioner or commissioner at this level to be

53
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.919
like that and not come off great. Well, you know you you know,

54
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:24.000
people are saying, well, you
know, he shouldn't have said this,

55
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.520
he should have said that. But
if he didn't say things, he

56
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.240
would have been criticized for that.
Sure, right, So he got up

57
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.800
there and tried to say what he
could say. We don't but but he

58
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.520
got in this. The comment that
he made and then we'll talk to James

59
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.759
about was when when he said,
you know, we didn't we purposely didn't

60
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:45.639
announce our TV deal today because we
wanted the focus to be on football.

61
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.439
So naturally, the next question was, so is the deal done? You're

62
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.840
just not announcing it? Right?
No. That was a great group follow

63
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.960
up, uh, for James and
everybody else to get some clarification because I

64
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.319
struck me too as just maybe okay, they don't want to talk about that,

65
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:01.319
but they want to talk about this. It was great that he asked

66
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:05.039
the question at the end before he
left. Um, you know when when

67
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.479
when when said that? It went
right over my head, So I did,

68
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.319
I didn't, I didn't catch it. It was it was it was

69
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.080
strange to me. It was just
strange to me. I'm thinking, there's

70
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.360
not enough time to hip And then
good that he came. Crappy is kind

71
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.879
of one of those intrepid guys.
Is annoying, but you know he's very

72
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.879
good. Well, he asked you
the questions that you don't want to answer,

73
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.399
right right, right right, and
he asked them the way you know.

74
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.120
You know another thing, you know, Bruce has been accused of that

75
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:34.920
too. Where another Where when were
they coming? Please? But that's why

76
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.160
it makes him goods. Yeah,
and that's yeah, and again, you

77
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.439
know, you know again and and
and he you know, he's organ he's

78
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.839
organ beat writers. Yeah, he
covers one of the top teams in the

79
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:46.639
conference. Right. There's a lot
of steake for Ogan right now, Yeah,

80
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.199
yeah, there is. And there's
still a lot of buzz for Arizona

81
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.879
orone Colorado. Still that leak,
that leak or that little drip drip drip

82
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.160
arizone wants to go. They're just
blah blah blah. So we won't know

83
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.959
until we know. And we've always
said that. I think you're off the

84
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.480
ledge a little bit more. I
Yeah, Like I said, I think

85
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.399
getting through Friday not having announced it
enough, people are kind of talk.

86
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.480
Yes, there's still some conversation about
this, sure, but a lot of

87
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.240
the conversation has been about, you
know, the actual meat of media day

88
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.319
with the coaches and the players,
and that's what we're gonna talk to me

89
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.639
and we'll talk to Matt about that. He was there to get the vibe

90
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:26.639
of what really happened, uh to
Uh, Jed was pretty good. Uh

91
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.759
well, Jed was pretty good.
I know they didn't want to talk about

92
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.360
the Dolora thing, but they did
and they were pretty good. I mean,

93
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.360
it was no doubt they did it
the best way they could in all

94
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.480
honesty. Uh And and maybe it
was best that they waited for this.

95
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.639
I don't know, but but Dora
was very, uh as forward as he

96
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.600
could have been, right emotional,
which got to you, which I thought

97
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.000
was fantastic. And I don't think
it was planned. I don't think it

98
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.120
was on I think he got emotional
because he was emotional about it. Sure,

99
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.639
And the question that was asked,
right, how do you when it

100
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.759
involve your family? You got it
to be emotional, right, whether you

101
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:06.879
like it or not. You know, look, I I've heard both sides

102
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.519
that I've heard a side that said, you know, man, it was

103
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.240
it was great to see that this
that this isn't just something he's putting aside.

104
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.160
Sure doesn't think about it, you
know, and it just felt kind

105
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.160
of felt for him. Then I
got other responses that said, he's still

106
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.240
a jerk and he still shouldn't be
on the football team, and I and

107
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.560
you know, okay, so he's
emotional and he got tears in his eyes,

108
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.439
but what about the girl? No, without question, and you're not

109
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.240
gonna make everybody happy. You're just
not um. So there's two sides to

110
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:41.519
it, three sides whatever, you're
just not um and UM. I feel

111
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.040
more sympathetic for him, more empathy
for him though, um, more than

112
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.399
I did before. I like.
I like the fact that he it is

113
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:55.800
um, that he's still got that
emotion about it, that it managed to

114
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.720
him. And then maybe, you
know, I think there's some people out

115
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.920
there think he's just a knuckle.
You know, kid who didn't give a

116
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.279
crap about didn't understand it, didn't
give a crap about what he was doing.

117
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.319
Whereas I think he's a kid that
in the moment didn't think of what

118
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:13.040
he was sure whatever it was that
was done that caused all of this,

119
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.680
And now he's trying to figure out
how to deal with this in all in

120
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.560
the public eye. And that's hard, a hard thing to do. Yeah,

121
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.240
I agree with you, especially when
you're you're a jock. You're jock

122
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.800
and use a phrase that way.
Um, but if you're a smart one,

123
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.319
you're treated differently. You're treat it
differently, and you're simpathly you know

124
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:34.959
you don't they treat you better when
you're the quarterback and when you're in a

125
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.160
quarterback you're the face of the program. Yeah. Yeah, So And I

126
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.879
thought Jed handle it as best as
he could to the time and sequencing all

127
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.040
that stuff. Uh, and now
they're kind of behind it's behind them now

128
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.800
a little. I think I think
it is to a degree. Um,

129
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.800
uh, you know it is to
a degree. I mean, look,

130
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.920
we don't need to ask him about
it anymore. He'll start practice and and

131
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.279
and the questions will be football now. You know, if he has a

132
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.600
crappy season, you know, at
the end of the year, they're gonna

133
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.680
say, right, how much did
this affect you? Well, and that

134
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.199
won't be answered. I mean,
he won't be answered, however, be

135
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.839
answered. But that's what i'm That's
what I think. I mean, it's

136
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.160
the stuff takes A fester can have
said that. It isn't for the last

137
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.279
six years it does. Okay,
we'll talk about that later with Matt and

138
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.600
he was he was there. I
thought Justin Justin did a good job too

139
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.480
and asking some of the questions on
video. Justin spears right, our guy,

140
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.240
right right, Okay, what else
is going on? Sugar Sculls?

141
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:37.600
Oh yeah, I tell me,
well, you know, um remember before

142
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.440
the week and he said, well, you know, can the Sugar Skalls

143
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.799
host you know, host of PLATCA
And I said, I don't think so,

144
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:43.159
because I don't think the Rattlers is
gonna lose on Saturday? Well they

145
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.639
did. Yeah, the rat who
lost first or they on Saturday and the

146
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.360
Sugar Sculls played on Sunday. Okay, so they had something to play.

147
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.480
Was sitting there for it was sitting
there for the Rattlers got behind forty two

148
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.519
to fourteen. They were getting their
asses kicked. I mean they were getting

149
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.200
They had a bunch of ters.
I think had four interceptions in the first

150
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.120
half. They were getting team they've
already beaten against against the fourth place team

151
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.799
in the division, Northern Arizona,
who eliminated them last year and then went

152
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.440
on to win the championship. So
they're playing Northern Arizona, they're playing in

153
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.480
Phoenix, They're down forty two to
fourteen, they come all the way back,

154
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:24.039
take the lead and lose it in
the last minute. Oh, Kevin

155
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.360
guy was way less than happy,
way less than happy because it was a

156
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.879
Rattlers broadcast, right because they were
the home team. So he did the

157
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:37.759
post game interview. Yah, I
you know, they look, you know,

158
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.279
they didn't get to the championship.
They haven't won the championship in several

159
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.240
years now, and I got a
sense that there's gonna be a housecleaning over

160
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.480
there. It just seemed like now
it was in the moment, right,

161
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.600
But you know Kevin, you know
he you know, I know Kevin too,

162
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.399
you know, in the moment,
like that man, he gets he

163
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.679
thinks of things, and sometimes that
thought gets locked and it doesn't go away,

164
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.799
So it'll be interesting to see how
much his team changes next year.

165
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.240
You fare the coach, you're not
gonna fire the coach, because not only

166
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.200
is he the coach, he's also
the president of the team. I'm part

167
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.720
of the herd. So if there's
house cleaning, he's gotta But he certainly

168
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.000
reflect on himself. Sure of coach
Coachuck. He's a good coach. He's

169
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.919
been doing this for a long time. You've got to reflect on what he's

170
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:28.240
doing in his approach. So there, it's set up for the Sugar Sculls.

171
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.360
It's all set up. The winner
of the winner of yesterday's game at

172
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.960
Bay Area is hosting a playoff game
this week. Sugar Skulls go down twenty

173
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.960
two nothing in the first quarter,
first quarter, twenty two seven. They

174
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.759
looks great, they're going down,
getting ready, they're inside the five,

175
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.240
get ready to score. Touchdown.
Um uh. Ramona Apkins gets gets sacked,

176
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.600
ball pops loose, scoop and score. Then they get they get uh.

177
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.879
They turn the ball over on downs
at their own seventeen touchdown with thirty

178
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.919
six zero or something twenty two zero. But oh, that's what you're just

179
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.320
subscribing okay, so the guy.
So so they go and score again,

180
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.519
Um, don't move the ball again, trilong field goal. Don't get that

181
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.480
they going to score again and get
a ruge on top of that where they

182
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.320
get the one point for kicking the
ball and sore down twenty two zip.

183
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.080
At the end of their they never
caught up the forty six to thirty four.

184
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.960
Well they got to well, then
they got it to within five in

185
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.039
the fourth quarter, but they did
They never had the ball to take the

186
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.720
league. So when they got it
to five, UM, say everyone down.

187
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.279
So using your hat that you deal
with with the team in your capacity,

188
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.639
successful season or now successful from the
standpoint that you know you get to

189
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.320
the playoffs again. They had a
winning season. They certainly, you know,

190
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.720
uh in some areas of their game
looked better than last year. You

191
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.279
feel like they're just a little short
somewhere and not not sure where it short

192
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.559
somewhere offensive, don't know if you
put it on the quarterback. You know,

193
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.480
Mike Jones was good but not great. Yeah, and he's getting older.

194
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.840
Yeah, you know, I'd be
surprised if Mike Jones comes back for

195
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.759
another year. This was his fourth
year with the Sugar Skulls. That's that's

196
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.919
a pretty long career for a night
Indour Football League player Carrington Thompson already told

197
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.200
us he's not coming back. He
was the best receiver. Um, you

198
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.039
know, we'll we'll hurt a stick
with Ramone Atkins. I feel like he's

199
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.360
got to go find somebody else,
you know. We we don't know.

200
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.919
We're gonna try and get hurt us
on later the week. But it was

201
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.320
all set up if they would have
beaten the Panthers last night and again Steve

202
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.720
six and one on the road,
they're on the road and then they get

203
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.320
beat Wow. So if they do, if they'd have won the game,

204
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.799
they'd be hosting it, hosting the
Western Conference Championship this weekend. Instead it's

205
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.080
Bay Area in northern Arizona. Well
so that's that's that's that season's over.

206
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:45.039
They went uh nine and seven.
Um, you know the complete record was

207
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:50.200
nine and seven. UM playoffs.
You know it's kind of like remember remember,

208
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.240
um, I don't know how for
a back how back? You remember

209
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.000
when the bum Phillips was a coaching
that used to remember they get keep getting

210
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.279
to the playoffs. He kept losing
the Pittsburgh right and he said, you

211
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:03.279
know, we keep knocking on the
door. This year we're gonna kick it

212
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.559
down. That's what the sugar they
got. No, Okay, getting to

213
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:11.960
the playoffs is great. Actually,
hey, Luke had to deal with that

214
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:13.240
in nineteen eighty five U six and
we get there, We get there,

215
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.600
but can't do anything. And finally
you have to get there to get through

216
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.159
run. That's three first round losses
in in In in their four years,

217
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.720
including their first inaugural, their first
and their first year, and then the

218
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.360
last two years they've gotten to the
playoffs. And uh, they were they

219
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.200
were not you know, they were
not the higher seat, they were the

220
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:33.039
three seats. So they were supposed
that's why I was on the road.

221
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.879
They were supposed to lose. But
twenty two to nothing. You can't you

222
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:37.919
can't let that. No, No, it looked bad. Yeah, they

223
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.919
were the better team the last three
quarters. But that'll get you what that

224
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.600
that in the cord will get you
this half a cup of coffee holding.

225
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.840
Hey, we've covered enough games to
know that that doesn't mean much. You

226
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.399
could go thirty one and one.
And in November two March time, I

227
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:56.519
saw Pat Paris at the Houston Airport
last out of the way back and we

228
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.279
were both talking about how Jed Fish
likes to talk about what we won the

229
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.120
second half. We won the second
half that you gotta win. You did.

230
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.519
You're measured by that. That's how
you're measured by that. Well,

231
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.480
you know, I kind of look
good, I got I clean up.

232
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.279
Well, well what about the other
times you're not cleaned up exactly exactly?

233
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.799
So okay, yeah, so that's
too bad. Um, it didn't didn't

234
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:20.879
work out for them, and they're
they're out, So now, you know,

235
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.159
move on and we'll see what they
do, what they decide to do

236
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.159
next year. All right, let's
take our break, we'll be back.

237

Uh and uh, we'll have a

Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Roberta.

304
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.160
He's Jacobs also now on the foe. We have met more than of go

305
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.400
agcats dot com. How are you
met? As talking about? We're doing

306
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.000
okay? How are you good?
Good? You just come back from Vegas

307
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.920
fresh and ready for the season.
Yeah, I mean to kind of hear

308
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.759
about all the teams and what they
got going on, see all the players

309
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.160
and obviously PAC twelve meet today is
kind of the unofficial start of training camp,

310
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.839
and you know, some teams are
getting going later this week, and

311
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.640
you know some of them have games
in about a month. And I'm Arizona,

312
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.920
so it starts pretty soon here as
well. So yeah, it's kind

313
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.559
of feels like everybody's getting gone and
ramped up again for the fall. So

314
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.119
aside from all the you know,
we don't want to talk about the TV

315
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.400
stuff and all that, well,
I mean we can do that at another

316
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.920
time, you know, on the
football stuff, what's you know, what's

317
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.640
the big takeaway? Uh, you
know from media day? What did you

318
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.160
hear that maybe we hadn't been hearing
or that you were surprised to hear those

319
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:26.519
kinds of things. Yeah, I
mean I think, you know, the

320
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.680
focus for a lot of it,
and this was definitely been pushed by the

321
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.680
conference and they want the message to
be clear that it's about the quarterbacks in

322
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:36.759
the league. But I think when
you take a step back and you look

323
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.640
at you know, the quarterbacks that
you know have entered the league to the

324
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.599
transfer portal and the guys that have
been around and um, there's some guys

325
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:47.000
that transfered last year they're stuff into
like their second seasons and teams. There

326
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.279
is a lot of good quarterbacks in
the league. And I think that's maybe

327
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:52.480
something that feels like it gets overlooked
definitely nationally and even something you know with

328
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.160
us to cover the teams within the
conference, maybe overlooked it a little bit.

329
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.279
And there's a lot of quarterback talent, you know, across the board,

330
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.119
and so I think that something to
be you know, interested and intrigued

331
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:07.960
by with this upcoming season. And
then a lot of different personalities. I

332
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:11.039
mean, I think you look at
all the various coaches and I think the

333
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.119
coach has talked about most was the
one who wasn't there. Uh, you

334
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:15.519
know, Deon Standers has talked about
a lot, He was asked about a

335
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:21.279
lot, and I think every coach
kind of said what they needed to say

336
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:25.839
and they didn't want to ruffle any
feathers. But I it feels like there's

337
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:29.279
maybe something, Hey, let's see
what this guy is about, and maybe

338
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.519
we don't always agree with everything and
how he does about his business, but

339
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.680
it's also it's interesting to see something
that takes about Dion Sanders and what he's

340
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.160
going to make sure the conference and
then just a different personalities within the conference

341
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.759
and some of the coaches and what
the pressure they're feeling. You know,

342
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.559
all these guys go into their second
or third years in the league to kind

343
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.720
of see that play out. But
yeah, I mean it was pretty standard.

344
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:52.720
Vida did nothing too too crazy.
Uh. You know a lot of

345
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.599
you know, different teams have different
things going on about their teams, but

346
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:59.319
nothing's too too crazy. This year. Was there a single coach or yeah,

347
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.720
coach that impressed you the most?
I know, I didn't watch all

348
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.480
of it. I just watched some
of it, not necessarily impressed you,

349
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.640
but kind of the stand out I
think when you asked everybody at the end

350
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.079
of the day was chip Kelly for
kind of a second straight year, which

351
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:15.559
is really strange for a lot of
people who cover UCLA and for those of

352
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.160
us who have seen chip Kelly over
the years, he hasn't been a super

353
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:23.200
personable guy. He's gonna had a
prickly personality and somebody that is not necessarily

354
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.319
a huge fan of the media.
But for the second straight year, I

355
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.319
left media Day going man. Chip
Kelly was maybe the most sought and exciting

356
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.400
and interesting interview and intriguing interview.
He teered up a couple of times talking

357
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.519
about, you know, his former
decense and coordinator Bill McGovern had passed away

358
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:44.440
this spring, and you know,
it was just really he's joking and seemed

359
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:48.319
very personable. And obviously they've had
a really strong, you know, recent

360
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.480
time with recruiting on the transfer portal
but high school level well as well,

361
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:56.400
bringing in one of the top quarterbacks
don K Moore as a freshmanness year,

362
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:57.839
one of the top quarterback, one
of the top players in the country.

363
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.880
Questions asked about him. But yeah, really, chick Kelly. I mean,

364
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:04.519
obviously, well, Mike Leach was
kind of that guy every year that

365
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:08.079
everyone looked forward to hearing from and
just hearing the crazy things he would say.

366
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.680
But a lot of kind of even
keeled personalities within the pact hole.

367
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.240
But I thought Jeff Fish stood out
in a lot of ways, kind of

368
00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:17.559
did his own thing and said,
I'm going to start from the podium.

369
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.640
I wanted to feel like a true
media day, and so he decided I'm

370
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.559
gonna be the only coach who starts
talking from the podium as opposed to just

371
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.039
sitting on the couch to band set
up. And so I thought that was

372
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:29.440
interesting and you know, shut kind
of his personality as well. But yeah,

373
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:30.319
chick Kelly was really the one who
was like, whoa, this is

374
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.400
not the guy we've known in recent
years, and you know, for the

375
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.039
second straight year, kind of seem
to be the guy that that one media

376
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.880
day. I guess he could say, how did Kenny Dillingham appeared? He

377
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.119
the guys, you guy that's going
to be you know, really good up

378
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.680
at ASU, you know from early
you know, early returns. It's so

379
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:52.200
hard to say but I mean,
I think the enthusiasm is there. I

380
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.039
think he was probably the most enthusiastic
coach in the bunch, and obviously for

381
00:23:56.119 --> 00:24:00.039
good reason. He's a younger guy
and somebody's stepping into the big job in

382
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:02.720
the first time and really is going
to have a lot of the attention on

383
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:04.160
him. I thought he was pretty
honest about, uh, you know,

384
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:07.240
the situation up there and what they're
trying to do. There's, you know,

385
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:10.799
still a quarterback battle to be figured
out and to figure out how they're

386
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.240
gonna, you know, go about
building that team and rebuilding that program.

387
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.559
But it's so tough to say he's
going to have success. I think there's

388
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.759
still plenty of question marks about him. Is you know, a play caller

389
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:25.039
and what he's able to do.
Yes, he's had his hands down a

390
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.759
lot of successful offensive but it's going
to be his show, really for the

391
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.559
first time, and I think Glass
he saw some glimpses of that and what

392
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.240
he's able to be a boat Nix, he can't really ignore that. But

393
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.759
um, I think it's gonna be
really interesting to see what he's like running

394
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.000
a program and really having a chance
to run things himself. Um, I

395
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.920
think he was pretty open about that
immedia day and stepping into some new things

396
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:48.519
and having some different things on his
shoulders that maybe he hasn't had before.

397
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.920
And so um, time will tell, but I think the enthusiasm is there

398
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.039
and that that's hop to battle in
a lot of cases. Well, speaking

399
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.599
of enthusiasm at home, how did
Jed feel. I'm sure you talked to

400
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:06.119
him afterward where you probably got some
better stuff away from the podium. Yeah,

401
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.519
I think he understands, like most
Arizona fans and everyone who has kind

402
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.640
of pays attention to the program,
that it's kind of time for the rubber

403
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.640
to meet the road. In a
lot of ways, this is year three

404
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.200
for him, and you know,
most of the roster has been built by

405
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.200
him, and I think he understands
like, hey, this is a real

406
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:22.759
time for progress to me. But
I also think he has a lot of

407
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.200
that will enthusiasm about his own program. I think there's a lot of excitement

408
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.319
that he has about his own program
and some of the moves that the team

409
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.000
has made and the staff has made, and you know, we'll see what

410
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:36.759
that leads to. But I think
it feels like it's starting to get a

411
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:38.839
little bit more serious from his end, and I think he understands, like,

412
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.759
hey, there needs to be some
more results on the field, and

413
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:45.119
that was kind of a sense I
got from him. But I also think

414
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.440
he understands at the end of the
day, his program is a lot about

415
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.799
having fun and trying to you know, bring some joy to the game,

416
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.599
and that's kind of message has put
out to a lot of the players,

417
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.119
and so I think there's always still
that element of, you know, this

418
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.079
is a fun day and let's have
some excitement and celebrate kind of things that

419
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.920
are coming up. You know.
I think we had talked about, you

420
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.319
know, what was going to happen
with Jade Delora at at media day he

421
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.519
was there, he got asked,
uh, your your impressions of how he

422
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:17.519
handled that whole that whole line of
questioning. Yeah, I mean I think

423
00:26:17.559 --> 00:26:19.920
that it's it's a really difficult process
to try and handle all across the board,

424
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.880
and obviously there's been challenging things with
that. There's not you can sally

425
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.920
talk about every single thing that you
would want to talk about and put out

426
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.079
there. But I thought when especially
in the side session, when you get

427
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.559
a little bit more of kind of
an intimate setting its left on a stage.

428
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:34.400
You didn't have a prepared statement in
front of him. He was just

429
00:26:34.720 --> 00:26:37.640
answering questions. I thought there were
some some honesty that came out, but

430
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:41.640
I think needed to come out in
that situation, and I thought he did

431
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.160
a pretty good Whether he was coached
up or just was coming it was genuine.

432
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:48.759
I don't know. I mean,
there was some some honesty there,

433
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.960
I thought from him that wasn't kind
of a front because there's been moments when

434
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.599
you talk to him and you get
a sense of like, oh, this

435
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.759
is not the real person and this
is just kind of something he's saying.

436
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.480
It's not truly what he means or
what he feels. I thought there was

437
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:03.880
less of that, you know,
in that side session when he was answering

438
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.480
some more questions about what he had
to say, and um, he didn't

439
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.200
get as emotional as he did on
the stage, but there it was clear

440
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:12.319
that you know, this is something
that's been weighing on him, and I

441
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:17.839
thought, um, he was honest
enough where he answered the questions as the

442
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:22.400
best he could and without kind of
you know, stepping over overboard or um

443
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.440
kind of derailing things in a way. And so um, you know,

444
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.519
again, it's a tough situation all
the way around, and um, there's

445
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:34.039
probably better ways that it could have
been handled across the board, but um,

446
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.079
I think for him, I think
the sea was stood up to me

447
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.200
is that it felt like, Okay, there's some some little honesty here because

448
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:41.839
he has asked about, you know, do you feel like your your reputation

449
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.599
has been tarnished? And he,
you know, he was very serious about

450
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.440
that, and he said he does
feel like it's tarnishing. He doesn't necessarily

451
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.920
know how to go about fixing that, and so, UM, you know,

452
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:53.759
I thought there's some little honesty there, and for that situation, I

453
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.440
mean, that's kind of all you
can ask for. So we talked about

454
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.440
this a few times, how we
shouldn't they have handled this right? So

455
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.160
this is how they decided to handle
this. What you suggest what would you

456
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.200
you just said just now in a
minute ago talking about how they should have

457
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:12.480
handled it or maybe better from their
perspective, I understand handling it this way,

458
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:17.680
it's very controlled. Obviously you'll be
rothless the one to ask to ask

459
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:19.279
the questions, so you kind of
get it out of the way at the

460
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.920
start of it. He has a
prepared stating, which obviously they knew about,

461
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.440
at least from my perspective, and
you can control the message that way.

462
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:32.720
I think my kind of method is
but I'm on my side as a

463
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.440
reporter, would be you let him
do it. You know I would have

464
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.559
done it probably sometime during the summer, shortly after all these things came out,

465
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.079
and you put him out there and
you have him deal with the local

466
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:42.880
media and you answer questions, and
you go as far as you can you

467
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.559
have you get it right there by
the side, and you answer questions and

468
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.480
say what did you know and how
how did you know it? And when

469
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:51.279
did you learn it and all those
things, and you kind of get it

470
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:53.960
out of the way before the nationally
I understand wanting to make it a one

471
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:56.839
time story. You get it out
of the way and one shot. You

472
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.400
don't have to do this twice.
But I think I think wouldn't beneficial to

473
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.279
have it earlier on and you have
the local media. You know, they're

474
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:06.519
with him, whether he has the
prepared statement at that time or how do

475
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.359
you want to go about it.
But I think the closer to the situation

476
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.559
and when it all kind of came
to light earlier in the year that you

477
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.480
have that, I think it helps
you in the long run. But um,

478
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.559
I understand their perspective of how they
want to do it, and obviously

479
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.880
it's a very control environment. You
do it. One time you have the

480
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.240
statement, you have to answer questions
about it from national media, Pactrol media,

481
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:29.839
and I think in their mind you
eventually move on. I don't know

482
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.119
that that's going to be the case, but we'll see what happens. I

483
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:34.359
was going to ask you that,
do you think everybody's going to move on

484
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:40.279
or were enough we're enough questions answered
about it that he is not going to

485
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.319
get asked about it from people who
are around right I'm talking about the PAC

486
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:48.119
twelve media who are here, you
know, every day. Do you think

487
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.480
he's done He's able to be done
talking about it, I think for the

488
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:55.599
most part. But I also think
it would be nice to think that it's

489
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.799
not going to come up again at
some point, and I'm sure there'll be

490
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:03.079
more questions about it asked and some
more clarification wanted, and um you know,

491
00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:06.960
it's it's a tricky one and it's
it's it's something I don't think it's

492
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.319
going to completely go away, and
um, you know I was seeking especially

493
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:11.880
if if Arizona gets off to rust
starter, Jane Laurie gets off to a

494
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.359
rust start, the questions are going
to be like, hey, is this

495
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:17.759
on his mind? Is there something
that's you know, something that he's thinking

496
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:19.720
about. Is there's something that's playing
into it at all? And so I

497
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.559
think it's going to be one of
those situations that is going to come up

498
00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.640
again at some point. We'll see
how long those questions go and what the

499
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:32.200
process looks like and how comes about. But um, I don't think it's

500
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:34.400
It just doesn't feel like one of
those situations that is completely dead and hey,

501
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:37.039
it's over because he talked about it
and addressed it at you know,

502
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.440
factital media Day. Yeah, no, I agree. Let's move on from

503
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.960
that. They finished their pick to
finish eighth. I'm assuming you have them

504
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:47.000
right in about that area. Uh, And then Jed says, this is

505
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:48.960
our best team, this is our
best team or his best team, which

506
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:55.720
of course makes total sense because the
other team suck. Come on, I'm

507
00:30:55.759 --> 00:31:00.559
not speaking of a turn, am
I. There weren't sucklass. They weren't

508
00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.359
any good, well, they were, you know what I mean? If

509
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:04.599
this would be the best team.
Of course it should be the best team,

510
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.599
and it's gonna be the best team. Um so what did you make

511
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.480
of that? Yeah, I mean
I think it's it's it's where they should

512
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:17.200
be. I mean, it's I
understand maybe fans of Tucson are like more

513
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:21.200
optimistic than the media, but I
think the media, you know, did

514
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.720
a lot of good things with the
decisions that they made. It there's a

515
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.200
clear cop group. I mean,
we can all I think agree on that

516
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.240
that they're a very clear cop group
upper echelon of the PAC twelve, and

517
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.400
then everyone else is kind of well, well, wait, you see,

518
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.680
I think you know, picking Colorado
allowed the spot on where I think a

519
00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:38.880
lot of people within Colorado and around
that team as all know that much better

520
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.319
than that. But it's there's just
so many question marks with a program like

521
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.640
that with so much turnover that I
think, you know, some of those

522
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:48.880
same questions applied to Arizona, and
that yes, the pieces they're starting to

523
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.160
come into place, you're relying on
on a lot of young players still and

524
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.759
some developing players, and so I
understand the question marks from the PAC twelve

525
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.960
media at large to put Arizona in
that spot Um, I don't think it's

526
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:05.279
wrong. I think I think there's
still probably a year or two away from

527
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.440
really making a strong run and being
you know, part of that top upper

528
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.279
tier group. And um, I
think a lot of things need to continue

529
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:15.160
to go right for them to break
into that top four whatever that's going to

530
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:17.839
be whenever realignment and everything is all
settled. But um, you know,

531
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:21.240
I think it's gonna it's gonna take
a little bit more time for them to

532
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:22.920
get to where they want to be. Now, do I think progress is

533
00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.599
coming? Absolutely? I think you
know, the base life that this year

534
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:30.000
should be a six and six TV
should be at the very least Arizona needs

535
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:31.200
to make a bowl game this year
and should make a bowl game this year,

536
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.160
and then you go from there.
And so, um yeah, I

537
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.559
think any any year that you can
connoted is our best team, that's time

538
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.240
the progress. And so I think
jet Fish is off base there, But

539
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:45.160
like you said, the bar is
not necessarily super high in terms of this

540
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:47.680
being their best team under jet Fish. So, UM, I do think

541
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:51.480
this progress coming, And I think
I don't think he's wrong for saying that.

542
00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:53.119
I think it's true enough here it
but um, there's a lot of

543
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:55.519
lots to be done with this team
in this program before it gets still where

544
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:59.640
it wants to be. All Right, who was the most impressive player who

545
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:06.200
was not an Heisman Trophy winner?
Yeah, that's an interesting one. Um,

546
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:07.519
I might have to think about that
a little bit. I think I

547
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.680
think any time you talk to cal
guys, it's, uh, it's always

548
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:14.680
impressive because you know, they just
they know how to speak. And so

549
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.759
they have a center Matthew Sindric who's
coming off a knee injury and it's going

550
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:22.519
to be steping back into starting roles, mister Spring, and uh, he's

551
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:24.079
really impressive to talk to you,
and I think you just, um,

552
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.079
you know, I think he understands
what Tala is about and they're trying to

553
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.039
get over this sump of you know, being kind of a mediocre team every

554
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:36.480
year and kind of in that seven
and five wrainings every year. And I

555
00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.200
thought he was pretty honest about their
situation, what they have going on,

556
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:42.880
what they're trying to do, and
so, um, he was definitely impressive.

557
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.039
And then uh, sugar standards just
from up here, this feels like

558
00:33:46.079 --> 00:33:49.519
you're talking to be on Sun type
of deal. I mean, he was

559
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.960
just you see it when you when
he's right in front of you first came

560
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.720
he go, man, this is
a big personality. This is kind of

561
00:33:54.720 --> 00:34:00.799
a chip off the old block type
of thing. And he was definitely impressive.

562
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:02.519
And he had a lot of flash, that's for sure. Shoes and

563
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.360
chains, everything was There's he related
to Beyon standards, you could definitely tell.

564
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.440
But I thought he had a lot
of good answers and um, you

565
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:13.679
know, had a lot of positive
things to say about their team and where

566
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.400
they're going and what they want to
do. But I also thought remain really

567
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:19.559
really realistic about what they're what their
chance has done with you know, what

568
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:21.960
their opportunity is in front of them, because there's a lot of work that

569
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:23.480
supps to be done for them as
well. At Colorado. Did anything that

570
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:29.639
was done or said or any appearance
kind of make you think twice about kind

571
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.760
of where you were ranking the teams, you know going in, you know,

572
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:37.280
do you feel better or worse about
Washington's chances to overtake USC or Utah

573
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:42.119
organ whatever I mean? Or did
it all just kind of it is kind

574
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.360
of back right where you were,
you know going in. Yeah, it's

575
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.559
it's interesting. I think that the
boring answer. It is a boarding answer,

576
00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.599
but if you taught mean, I
really do think that they're going to

577
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:54.679
be right there when everything is said
and done. They just they have such

578
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.519
kind of a professional approach to how
they do things, and they have such

579
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.079
a mess to how they do things. And Kyle Willingham isn't to talked down

580
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:05.800
on anybody. I mean, he
praised you know, what Jet Fish is

581
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:07.000
doing quite a bit and talked about
Arizona being, you know, one of

582
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.320
those teams that he could see,
you know, being out of the top

583
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.440
six in the in the media poll
and moving into that top six because of

584
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.119
what you know jet has done.
And um, it's hard to argue with

585
00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:22.079
kind of his approach and how they
do things that Utah and Um, that

586
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:23.559
was my thing was that it was
like, it feels like that top group

587
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:28.199
is pretty solidified, but also wide
open. I'm not some pole you sold

588
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.840
on USC being the far and away
favored, Oregon being the far and away

589
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:35.679
favored. I feel like Utah Washington
particular, could really make a push and

590
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:39.599
be very talented within this conference and
do some really good things by the time

591
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.920
the season is over. But there's
just something about Utah and how they approach

592
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.480
things and uh, they're kind of
low key nature about how they they go

593
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:51.320
about their business. That is really
impressive. And I think we'll have them

594

596
00:35:55.119 --> 00:36:00.159
really impressed with when he's podium was
Taylor, the new coach that Stanford just

597
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:05.199

611
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:06.679
the Ludolson era in my new book, Lessons from Loot. It was a

612
00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:08.639
labor of love through the eyes of
twenty five former players, coaches, and

613
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:13.599
friends to give insight to the coach
and the man who led them, competed

614
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:16.039
against them, and inspired them.
Twenty five chapters for his twenty five years

615
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:21.320
as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from
Loot is an insight to how he built

616
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:25.639
the program into a national powerhouse.

us your thoughts on whatever we've discussed.

657
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:30.079
Well, I have a take care
from a from a listener who went

658
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.599
on our Twitter feed, and it
makes a good point and to the point

659
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:36.639
that I you know that I made
that. There's some people are saying,

660
00:40:36.679 --> 00:40:38.119
okay, let's move on to other
people saying wait, what the hell right?

661
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:45.360
G man too all on Twitter sense
to us. So the QB basically

662
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:49.960
gets away with the crime no answering
tough questions and being coached up tells it

663
00:40:50.159 --> 00:40:52.320
ball. Yeah, Well, he's
in an a win situation and I'm not

664
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:55.599
trying to make any other boys.
He just says, um, let me

665
00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:59.159
just see this because I've said this
before, and I think you nodded in

666
00:40:59.239 --> 00:41:02.079
agreement. Jay, if he was
the second or third stream quarterback, he

667
00:41:02.239 --> 00:41:06.559
probably would have been like probably,
I mean, I I yeah, I

668
00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:09.000
mean, I yeah, I think
I have to uh, I think I

669
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:13.119
have to believe that. But they
believe in him. But they believe in

670
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:17.159
him, right should they have no
choice, which, of course is if

671
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:21.039
you have a son, whatever,
you you support them right, right,

672
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:23.760
right? Because if Jane Delord's my
kid, I'm wanting him to get a

673
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:27.199
second chance. You're supporting right,
right. I understand what he did,

674
00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.039
and I'm wanting him get a second
chance. Where do you put that?

675
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.079
Right? And and again you've got
you got a penis on all side.

676
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:35.280
You know. I was talking to
somebody the other day and he started to

677
00:41:35.320 --> 00:41:37.119
say, well, he was sixteen, and I said, don't they do

678
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:39.920
not Yeah that, do not say
that, because I know when I was

679
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:44.800
sixteen, I knew the difference between
right and wrong as far as what allegedly

680
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:47.159
happened here. So don't go into
that he was too young to know because

681
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.480
he was not. Uh So don't
don't do that. Don't even start that

682
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:54.639
conversation. What happened happened? And
what did they say? They had a

683
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:59.800
conversation pretty much ended right there,
right, you're you're right, you know,

684
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:04.440
so I'm torn on this too,
and and look I've got I've got

685
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.360
daughters, right, I'm torn on
this, you know, and my daughter's

686
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:10.840
kind of like she wants me to
hate him. Oh really, yeah,

687
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.119
you know, yeah, you know
he did this to a girl. Why

688
00:42:15.159 --> 00:42:17.199
why don't you you know, why
aren't why aren't you harder on him?

689
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:22.079
Totally understand, and I completely understand
her, totally understand. I won't ask

690
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:24.519
you which one, but no,
there's no butt. I won't ask you

691
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:28.719
which one. But again, this
is the choice of people going to school,

692
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:32.039
going to the games, right and
applaud right, and who are they

693
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:35.440
applauding? Right? And then the
people who aren't going to come to the

694
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:37.360
game yeah because of it? Yeah, right now we've heard from those fans,

695
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:42.679
so it's it's there, there's you
know, and there's no right answer

696
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.320
to any of that, right,
exactly right. This guy on on on

697
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:49.880
Twitter is as right as a guy
who was saying give him another chance,

698
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.199
no question, no question. Are
you a tough situation? There's no no

699
00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:55.320
doubt about that. Right. I'm
gonna make sure that we put that out

700
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:58.360
there though, because we did.
You know, we love it when our

701
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:01.519
our listeners respond to us, and
we wanted to make sure that that they

702
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.960
thanks for the twet think we appreciate
your listening. We appreciate you're sending us

703
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.119
that give us someone talk about you
know, it's there there, you know,

704
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:14.039
and then you know what that part
of this is gonna hang around.

705
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:15.400
Yeah, it's gonna be tough on
the road. We all know that it's

706
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.679
gonna be just like you know,
media may not ask the questions anymore and

707
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:22.280
they may move past it, and
you know, we may get to camp

708
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:27.360
next week and nobody talks about it
and stuff like that, but fans talk

709
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:30.280
about it's still gonna be the elephantive
real part of the kind. It's exactly,

710
00:43:30.320 --> 00:43:31.800
it's the elephant in the road and
it will be all season. Yeah,

711
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:35.920
you know when when he does well
and well, yeah, he shouldn't

712
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.840
be blamor when he does well,
they say, well, you know he's

713
00:43:38.880 --> 00:43:44.239
trying to you know, you know, he's trying to fix this or whatever

714
00:43:44.239 --> 00:43:46.800
you want to say. And none
of it is wrong, really, none

715
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:52.239
of it. No, it's a
tough situation. Hey, what's the divorce

716
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.480
rate these days? That's two people
not getting along and to just two people.

717
00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:00.800
Right now, you have a situation
where many people have their their opinions

718
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.719
and these are right or wrong.
You can't agree, You just can't agree.

719
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:08.079
We're in a world where people can't
agree for anything exactly so anyway,

720
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:12.960
but you know, again, I
from me to standpoint, I think they'll

721
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.480
move on. I agree with I
think I think you know, but you

741
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:35.679
hub of Pack twelve. Yeah,
don't you think in the matter of time

742
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:38.320
before they moved there, Well,
George lives there, Yeah, so you

743
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.320
know, I mean it looks they've
made it clear that a lot of the

744
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.159
stuff that they do it's going to
be remote anyways, right, Yeah,

745
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:50.519
But I think their base will ultimately
be Vegas where they actually like have an

746
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:53.320
office, you know, they they're
building some studios and stuff that they're yeah,

747
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:58.840
you know out in out in Walnut
Creek near where their old office was

748
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:01.360
out on that side of the Bay. I think ultimately because of the championships

749
00:46:01.440 --> 00:46:04.960
being there, and they're probably gonna
stay there. I mean, I can't

750
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:08.400
see any reason, or they would
ever move from the two basketball championships from

751
00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:12.960
football championships in Vegas, They've got
a nice foothold and people like for all

752
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.199
the right reasons. I would imagine
this at some point the officers have to

753
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:20.039
have to go, although it's strange
to have your office in a place where

754
00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:23.119
you don't have a team. Yeah, which may ultimately bear well for U

755
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:28.000
and LV. You know, if
they can academically, you know, become

756
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:31.239
more of a more of a player
and be you gonna have bad athletics.

757
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:35.719
Maybe some day down the road they're
part of another realignment, and who knows

758
00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:39.519
by that time it could be all
changed anyway. H Yeah, So there's

759
00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:43.440
that, and it's it's the place
to be for all this stuff, which

760
00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:45.559
is kind of strange, man,
it is. Yeah. Yeah, it's

761
00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:50.719
funny because I was in Dowstrow right
by the SMU campus. Yeah, And

762
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.880
I looked over and looked over the
side, and I asked my daughter.

763
00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:55.000
My daughter said, does that look
like a Pactrol campus to you? They

764
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:59.239
both said no, no, but
it's it's in a perfect spot, a

765
00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:05.119
fluent area. Yeah, I know
the area well yeah, um, and

766
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:07.519
and I wonder what they're saying,
you know, I'm just we should maybe

767
00:47:07.519 --> 00:47:12.599
we should get a Dallas guy radio
guy like saying, Okay, we're people

768
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.039
here are poo pooing? That are
they saying? They're not? God?

769
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:17.159
Yeah? Who are else of you? They're not good enough for us?

770
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.000
Because one of the things that I
haven't heard that it's got to be out

771
00:47:21.039 --> 00:47:23.519
there somewhere, right, is Okay, if SMUs leaving the Big twelve,

772
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:27.039
who else is? What's it?
No? What's it gonna cost them?

773
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:29.800
Right? When can they leave?
How much is it gonna cost? We

774
00:47:29.840 --> 00:47:31.119
should try to How do you get
them? Well, well, yeah,

775
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:35.280
let's get somebody from Dallas. Yeah, you know, Oh, you're not

776
00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:37.360
good enough to date us? Well, what makes you think that you're good

777
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.320
enough to date me? What do
you mean? What makes you think I

778
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:43.760
want to be dated? You know? Hell, people ask them. You

779
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:47.559
are a pretty much laddie dah Right, Oh yeah, we're gonna deal with

780
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:52.119
people from Oregon State? Hell with
you? Yeah? No, seriously,

781
00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:55.440
I mean, you know, everybody's
assuming that SMU wants to come to the

782
00:47:55.480 --> 00:48:00.039
back ball. Yeah, where if
they go? Right? Right? And

783
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:01.639
what do they think about that whole? I get it, they're not in

784
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:05.039
a Power five conference, So they
would say, well, why wouldn't you

785
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:08.119
want to come come to the PAC
twelve? But you know, yes,

786
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:13.440
you know Dallas, and then you
got Seattle way the hell up there.

787
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.440
Sure, how much fun is that
for them? That that's been thrown out

788
00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:21.039
the window snow with LA going to
yeah, to across country. The police

789
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.519
ruggers that that is very true.
The stuff that we used to know doesn't

790
00:48:23.559 --> 00:48:25.760
exist anymore. Yeah, you know, that's that's very true. Well,

791
00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:29.400
you got by U. It's gonna
have to go out to West Virginia,

792
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:31.679
right right, right, that's gonna
be a weird thing too, that not

793
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:36.079
whole by you all. That new
league is gonna be crazy. Well by

794
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:40.800
U, Central Florida, Houston,
who was the other one, Central Florida,

795
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:47.639
Houston, Cincinnati, CINTI the last
one. Cincinnati fits right, they're

796
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:52.039
kind of there even by U sorta. You know, if you're gonna have

797
00:48:52.119 --> 00:48:53.519
Colorado, if you want to go
get Colorado, the why not by you

798
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:59.239
know that that's but Central Florida way
the hell out there, and West Virginia

799
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:00.840
didn't belong there the first place,
but you know they wanted to get into

800
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.320
it. So we'll see confidence like
that. Yeah, we'll see what happens.

801
00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:07.719
We'll see what happens. Uh,
it's a get closer to We got

802
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:12.039
about four or five weeks, right, immediate local stuff, Arizon Immedication Next

803
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.639
Tuesday, Tuesday, Yeah, tuesdays. The first Tuesday's the first. Yeah,

804
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:19.159
so that's okay, that the day
it is or the second one of

805
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:21.519
those days. It could be.
I think it's on the first and practice

806
00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:23.320
starts, Okay, then that's what
it is. Yeah, um, yeah,

807
00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:25.119
so we look forward to that.
It's gonna be oh man, I

808
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:30.079
just don't even want to think about
it because we haven't got a schedule late

809
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:32.239
afternoon or early morning, right,
it's got to be in the morning to

810
00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:36.360
go out and practice. I would
think until school start. It'd be good

811
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:38.440
if they do it right, doing
right right until school starts, right at

812
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:43.159
least? Yeah, um yeah,
but I almost I almost kind of like

813
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:47.039
when that that practice during our show, so we don't say there, Yeah,

814
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:51.440
we got an excuse that we would
be there, but we have to

815
00:49:51.480 --> 00:49:55.079
do the show. Would be interesting
to see how jed relationship with Justin develops,

816
00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:59.599
because he was always talking to Lev
and yeah, you know jokes with

817
00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:02.719
them. You don't like that you
already know that he's gonna be buddy,

818
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:06.719
but they're gonna that's who he is
with the media, like he's kind of

819
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:08.800
he's not in bed with him,
but he's he's a smart cookie. Yeah,

820
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:10.880
there's one thing he is. He
is a smart cookie. Do you

821
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:15.480
think he's a good coach or you
don't know yet? I think he's a

822
00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:20.599
pretty good coach. Let me say, I think he runs the program really

823
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:22.440
so in fact, who did we
have? Who do we have one?

824
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:25.239
Last week? Who didn't want to
say it because maybe he didn't the words

825
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:28.679
didn't come to him, But I
know what he was thinking, who do

826
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:32.039
we have last week? I after
the schedule? Oh could have been could

827
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:37.280
have been Heath? No, No, it was Yogi Roth. Yogi Roth

828
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.079
likes him a lot. Oh yeah, Buddy likes him a lot. Buddy

829
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:45.119
Brad Alice was on, uh big
game Boomer likes him. Maybe maybe it

830
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:49.880
was like and just maybe it was
maybe it was a big Game Boomer because

831
00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:52.960
he doesn't he wanted to say he's
the CEO of the program, which he

832
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:54.280
is. I think he's a very
good thing. And that's that's what you

833
00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:58.159
wanted to try to say. I
think he's a very good I know.

834
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:01.480
Yet whether or not he's a good
that is an old football coach. I

835
00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:06.039
think he can coach some offense.
That's that's the accurate thing, is right.

836
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:08.800
He's got some good players eleven or
twelve or ten eleven or back whatever

837
00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:13.800
assistance he said, yeah, yeah, okay, so he's got he's got

838
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:17.760
good people in place. What does
a good CEO do? Good people and

839
00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:22.119
let them do their work right,
and he's kind of the overseer. Dick

840
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:24.480
was a little like that, kind
of with Rome and do the things and

841
00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:28.239
be the coach. When he added
to be the coach. People people would

842
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:31.159
fault Dick for the fact that he
was always wearing headphones on the sideline,

843
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:35.760
but it did never look like he
was doing anything because he let his guys

844
00:51:35.800 --> 00:51:37.239
call play right, right, right
right, and there was nothing wrong with

845
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:43.360
that, you know, And that's
what a good confidence CEO does. Although

846
00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:45.199
I think Jed will always be the
guy that calls the play. Sure.

847
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:50.280
I think that's the part he probably
enjoys more than anything, is being able

848
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:53.119
to call the plays and and run
the offense and have the relationship with the

849
00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:57.599
quarterback and the whole bit. You
know. He always talks about his relationship

850
00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:01.920
with with Jade Delora, and now
this year is really a year that they

851
00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:07.320
can really get into the relationship because
they haven't. They really kind of haven't

852
00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:10.719
been able to up to know the
two will forever be linked together, Yeah,

853
00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:15.239
because one needs the other now and
the other needed the other one right

854
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:17.639
as this will always set the tone
for what people think of Jed going forward,

855
00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:21.960
whether he has success down the road
or no violence. Check our second

856
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:23.719
our last break of the hour,
will come back breaking news the top of

857
00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:24.559
the hour. Stick around
