00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:30.960
R two sad at iHeartRadio Station at
Okay, well maybe that does it right

4
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.679
there anyways, so that the uh
the you know, he was pulling the

5
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:42.200
ball down and the USC defensive back
comes and takes it from him. Arizona

6
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.479
loses the game seventeen to fourteen.
So it was you know, it was

7
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.920
a tough game. But Jay Dobbins
was in that game, so we'll talk

8
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.320
to him about you know, a
by playing at the Colsseum more than anything.

9
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:54.320
Okay, I've been there. How
many time have you been there?

10
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.200
Oh god, I can't even count, you know, a bunch of time.

11
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:00.280
Yeah, I just went the ones, you know, pretty all losses.

12
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.480
Right, Never did go to a
never did go see a win over

13
00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:07.200
there. Uh well you should go
get your get your butt in the car,

14
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.879
drive seven hours because you said two
days, three days, whatever days

15
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.799
ago, they're gonna win. You
better go because this could be the one.

16
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.000
You know, Steve, you never
know, man, I may wake

17
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.519
up Saturday morning and grab a kid
and say let's go go. You know

18
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.159
we've done that before. You've done
that before. So uh, I've been

19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.159
there a bunch of times. You
know, some good games, some some

20
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.599
bad ones. Uh. There was
a fourteen to seven loss in in ninety

21
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.599
two in that stretch that we talked
about with with the Malulu. You know,

22
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.319
some tough ones and some blowouts,
a couple of blowouts. You know,

23
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.680
went went there when they it's very
rare though. I don't blame you

24
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.599
for thinking that they can play them
because historically they've played them close. Even

25
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.239
when Arizona was bad, they still
play them close. You know, got

26
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:53.959
to see Reggie Bush play there,
you know, in the game there,

27
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.599
So it was uh, you know, it's been fun. I've loved going

28
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.719
to the coliseum. You know,
some people like going there. Some people

29
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.159
it's in a bad Neighborhood's a bad
neighborhood, say well I'm not going.

30
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.719
Well, you remember, I guess
back when I think you were covering the

31
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.280
team. When I was covering the
team, and the kid from Sorrow whatever

32
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.680
his name was, when got shot
or he got shot shot in the Yeah,

33
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.759
he was on the practice league,
got shot in the leg. Yeah,

34
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.439
I forget his name now. Yeah, but yeah, he was walking

35
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.680
to practice or something and got shot. I mean the first time I ever

36
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.039
went to the coliseum goes to the
first year there's someone was in the Pact,

37
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.560
well in fact then now, and
that's when U c l A and

38
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:37.240
USC both played there and I saw
they. So they both played the colseum.

39
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:38.759
So if they were both at home
games, one would play on Friday,

40
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:42.560
play on Saturday. So we went
to it was a Friday night U

41
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.960
c l A game. It was
the day after we talked about. Yes,

42
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.080
it was the day after that plane
crash. So we're in the where

43
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.960
we had a motor we're in the
motorhom heading towards l A when that crash

44
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.840
happened. We heard about it on
the news. So that's how far back

45
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.199
I go to, you know,
going to those games. We're talking that

46
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:07.280
seventy seven ish, seventy five years
Yeah, yeah, something like that.

47
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.439
Yeah, okay, So you know, I loved going there. I'm a

48
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:16.039
I'm a sucker for the history of
a place like that, right, been

49
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:20.240
a couple of Raiders Playoffs games there. You know, I'm gonna miss the

50
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.759
place. I'm gonna I'm gonna miss
you know, having a chance to go

51
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.560
there. That's why we were talking
about all season long going to this game,

52
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:29.759
but everybody kind of lost the interests
different things. We didn't go.

53
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:30.960
I was, yeah, I was
just on the road, you know,

54
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.000
the beginning of this week. You
know. Yeah, I'm glad we didn't

55
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.639
go because we were gonna try to
do the show from there. Yeah,

56
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.199
it would have been tough to get
there, and then you know to drive

57
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:45.039
back to drive back is the drive
back. Yeah, we one of the

58
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:46.800
one of those times we drove up
on Friday, it was a day game

59
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.599
on Saturday. We drove home after
the game. That was one of the

60
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.800
worst things ever. You know,
we got home at you know, four

61
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.680
o'clock in the morning, whatever it
was. That's what happened to me last

62
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.319
year. And with San Diego,
remember Joe, we drove up there,

63
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.159
did the show from del mar and
they broke ba when they broke into your

64
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:05.280
car, my car, and drove
home right after the game. It was

65
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:11.240
scorching coming back. Yeah, miserable
time. So I I you know,

66
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.800
I don't know, I mean,
I I like going there. I say

67
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.079
similarly with the Rose Ball, right, I'm gonna miss going to the Rose

68
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.360
Bowl. You know, going to
going to see them play U c l

69
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:23.360
A. Got to cover a couple
of games that the road. You'll love

70
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.079
to go down on the Turn.
You'll love Texas Tech and Baylor don't.

71
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:32.319
Anyways, Well, we'll have Brian
Jefferies on in the second hour to take

72
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.519
us down memory lane. You know
he's been doing Arizona game since the eighties.

73
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.639
I we'll talk about some of his
experiences there, you know, I

74
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.480
mean, you know, if you're
a if you're a broadcast, right,

75
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.720
you're in the press box at the
at the only coliseum where so much history

76
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.279
has happened. It's got to be
an appreciation for Then. We know Brian's

77
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.759
that kind of a guy, so
I wanted to talk to him about,

78
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.120
you know, some of his experience
going on. Well kind of sad,

79
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.000
I'm sad. Yeah, I'm not
crying. Yeah, well I'm not crying.

80
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.680
You crying. I'm crying. Which
I we had some commons. Let's

81
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:05.560
talk about it. So his usual
Tuesday press conference will Thursday Thursday. Excuse

82
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.600
me, excuse me, two days
later it's Thursday press conference. But we'll

83
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.680
just start with his intro and then
go into some of his comments about playing

84
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.399
in La So here's what he had
to say at the start of his presser.

85
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:25.560
We have a great challenge ahead of
us. We have a team that

86
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.360
is averaging over fifty points a game. We have a team. I think

87
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.199
we're the only team in college football
that is playing back to back Top ten

88
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.680
teams. We could be the only
team in college football that have done that

89
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:42.199
all year long. I don't think
that has happened yet where a team has

90
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.639
played back to back top ten teams, and on our schedule has back to

91
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.399
back to back undefeated teams sitting here
at week five, six and seven,

92
00:05:51.199 --> 00:06:01.600
and we have a fantastic opportunity to
go to the Coliseum and to play really

93
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:06.160
good football against a really good football
team. And it's a team that came

94
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:12.600
off a battle against Colorado last week. And I think that is an indication

95
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.920
of how good the Pac twelve is
and that every single week there's gonna be

96
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:24.000
challenge after challenge after challenge that we're
all going to have to face in terms

97
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.519
of who we're playing and how we
play. And if you don't play well

98
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.480
in the Pac twelve, you're gonna
wind up losing games by a lot.

99
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.439
If you play well, you still
might lose a game, but you're gonna

100
00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:40.120
have a great battle on our hands. And that's what's going on right now.

101
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.240
Within the conference. We have a
great number of teams that are competing

102
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.560
at a very high level. I
don't think we're getting nearly the respect we

103
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:54.600
should be getting across the country,
but it is what it is. And

104
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.800
as we're sitting here in our program, we've lost two games by a combined

105
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.040
four teen points, one in which
and overtime and one in which against the

106
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:09.360
top five team. And I would
say that that is a really good start

107
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.800
to a season where we know that
we've got seven great battles ahead of us

108
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.160
moving forward. So excited about this
opportunity. As I said, to go

109
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:26.480
back to La I don't know the
next time we'll be playing in Los Angeles.

110
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.319
I hope we'll be able to play
in Los Angeles often, as I

111
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.519
believe it's great for college football and
it's great for our program the way we

112
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:42.160
recruit. But what I do know
is that we'll be playing six seven games

113
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:48.079
in the state of Arizona every year, and that is a lot closer than

114
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:53.600
what a lot of other teams will
be traveling to around the country. So

115
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:58.639
we are excited about that part for
the California people and our Arizona people and

116
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.480
our recruits moving forward. So let
me ask you. I know, I'm

117
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.759
just gonna throw a question outside of
the realm of the press convers but do

118
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.279
you think and it just came to
me when he said that, do you

119
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:11.720
think that the move to the Big
twelve? Is it going to impact his

120
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.279
recruiting, Arizona's recruiting, maybe not
specific to him, Arizona's recruiting. I'm

121
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:22.120
trying to figure out how to say
this completely given that they won't be going

122
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:26.480
back there and I and hear me
out, they're not going to get the

123
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.000
stars like they never really have,
right, right, they never got they

124
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.399
go to USC, they go to
UCL anything they got, they got the

125
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.039
second level guys, Will that change? Yes, because I don't know.

126
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.000
I don't think they We're gonna know
that until it starts to happen, right,

127
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.080
Because you understand, I understand questions
two things in play. One by

128
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.120
not playing there, you know,
you don't you're not there regular visible,

129
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.919
you know. And and well we'll
play one of these questions later because we've

130
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.320
got to get to the quarterback situation. But we'll play his answer response because

131
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.759
he got to ask specifically that oh, but you're asking okay, okay,

132
00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:58.320
and and and the thing is,
and that's where he was trying to say.

133
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.440
But we're gonna have seven games in
Arizona where you can jump in the

134
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.919
car and go, and you're not
you don't have to go to Rutgers,

135
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.080
Penn State, Iowa, you know, Michigan to go see your kid play.

136
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.120
All right, So there's that.
But on the other hand, some

137
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.879
of those kids want to go to
Michigan Penn State. So I don't think

138
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.799
we're gonna know how this is going
to affect recruiting until it starts to affect

139
00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.320
recruiting. Okay. I think it
can either way, because there might be

140
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.120
some parents who say I don't want
you to I want to see you play,

141
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.279
so play at Arizona or Arizona State, right, Or they might say

142
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.600
I really love to go to the
Big House. You know, I'd love

143
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.759
to see you play Michigan. Sure, you know every other year. I

144
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.440
have a long I don't think we're
gonna know, you know, Okay,

145
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.440
my point, what you you got, Well, well let's go to the

146
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.519
quarterbacks and come back. So obviously
the first question is you know who's playing

147
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.240
quarterback on Saturday. I'll just let
him answer it. Here's what he said.

148
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.840
No change at this point from a
few days ago. He took seven

149
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.720
on seven reps yesterday and took individual
reps yesterday, so I guess I would

150
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:11.799
say it's more hopeful than last week
at this point in time after Wednesday's practice.

151
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.080
Last Wednesday, he didn't participate in
the practice at all. He was

152
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.039
off to the side. This Wednesday, he participated in seven on seven and

153
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.879
in uh indye. So we'll see
what today, what today brings, and

154
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.279
we'll see if we get any closer
to being able to play uh. We're

155
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.919
preparing both quarterbacks to play to start
and meeting with both of them, going

156
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.679
through the game plan with both of
them. And Noah has been taking the

157
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.159
majority of the team reps at this
point, but as I've said, Jaden

158
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:46.679
has had thirty two starts under his
belt, so he could take less reps

159
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.120
and still be prepared. Let's play
this. He talks about how evaluating from

160
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.960
the Saturday's game gets Washington State.
It is different when you go into a

161
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.080
game when the game is out of
hand one way or the other. The

162
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.360
evaluation post game is very fast,
usually one way or the other. So

163
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.960
whether Noah went in against Utah year
ago or whether he went against NAU this

164
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.240
year, whatever it might have been, the evaluation at that point in the

165
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.440
game is pretty quick. Now he's
sitting there and he's evaluated on a seventy

166
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.159
seven play game where it was a
thirty one to twenty four game where he

167
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.519
wound up throwing I believe thirty eight
passes or something to that effect, and

168
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.919
we would you know, it's a
lot more stringent grading. You look at

169
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.080
exactly now you're sitting there and you're
no longer in that backup seat where you're

170
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.720
watching and kind of saying, oh, yeah, you know, Jaden's drop

171
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.159
wasn't really good there, or yeah, I wouldn't have thrown it there,

172
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.559
or you know, whatever it might
have been. You wind up now being

173
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:48.559
you're being told we need to correct
your drop here, or we need to

174
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:54.480
change your read here. And he's
been fantastic, absolutely as coachable as anybody

175
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.039
I've ever coached, willing to learn, willing to work on his craft,

176
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:03.840
and really willing to take all of
the coaching from all week long of what

177
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.879
we were able to show him and
all the practice reps he got Tuesday and

178
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.200
Wednesday and be able to really try
to help him become a better quarterback for

179
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.679
this Saturday night. Okay, let
me ask you another dumb question. Do

180
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.120
you think that USC worries about who
they're gonna face? And I say that

181
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.200
because maybe, for one reason,
one reason only in their mind, Delora

182
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.000
runs more Forfeita won't run as much. And that's for the only reason I

183
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.519
don't think. I don't think they're
gonna do. I think they're set right,

184
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.440
they're gonna do. No, No, exactly, don't you exactly.

185
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.480
Coaches worry about well if we play, if I say this, say that,

186
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.759
well, the two of them aren't
so different. That is set a

187
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:45.919
million times. We do the same
thing with both of them. It's just

188
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:52.320
it's just Jayden does it a little
different. They ran the same plays,

189
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.000
they ran the same paths. You
know, they ran that same play,

190
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.600
that same pass play where they scored
on again Stanford, the tight end pass

191
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:03.279
where Jayden, you know, faked
to pass to the left, fake to

192
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.360
pass to the right, and then
through the tight end over the middle.

193
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.679
They ran it with Fafeita too,
was the exact same play with the and

194
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.519
it didn't get a touchdown, but
they completed a pass for a first down

195
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.200
because he wasn't as wide open as
he as he was against Stanford. They

196
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.240
run the same plays, it's just
they executed differently because the feet is less

197
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.639
prone to run. I think,
but he's still ran. Yeah, I

198
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.679
think that he was still kind of
being conservative, right, conservative literal?

199
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.320
Maybe that changes. Yeah, all
right, we're gonna get We're gonna get

200
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.000
Jay Dobbins in talk about you know, being at the coliseum and then as

201
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.879
a fan, you know, is
he gonna miss going to the coliseum and

202
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.679
playing USC. So stick around for
Jay Dobbins. We'll be right back.

the phone we have j Dobbin Dobins
Trumduba from back in the day. How

302
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.160
are you, Jake, Steve,
Jay, thank you for having me back,

303
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.680
and good afternoon to your audience.
Afternoon, Ay, we kind of

304
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.359
want to go back into the good
old days like we'd always do forty years

305
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:07.839
Jay, how do you feel about
that? I don't feel very good about

306
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:14.880
it. Jayle's see, it doesn't
seem like that long ago, but I

307
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.920
guess it was, you know it
was. I remember I was at that

308
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:25.599
game in eighty one at the Coliseum, like walking in that place and being

309
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:30.839
completely in awe of that stadium and
knowing what had taken place on that field

310
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:38.720
and who had played there and watching
Marcus Allen run for two hundred yards that

311
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.720
day, but we still came away
with the win. Yeah, what a

312
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.759
great day. Yeah, that was
an incredible day. You were there as

313
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:51.359
a recruit or what was your capacity? You know, that was my transfer

314
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.599
year. I had come back home
from Arkansas and that was you know,

315
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:56.640
there was no portal back in the
day. Man, you moved schools.

316
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.240
You had to sit and watch for
a year. Yeah, all right,

317
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.839
so you were, but you're on
you're on the sidelines. You have to

318
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:06.720
sit in the seats where you have
to sit. Yeah, I was on

319
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.359
the sidelines. I was, you
know, handing out cups of water and

320
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:14.480
patting people on the back and and
and doing all those things that you try

321
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.559
to do when you don't have a
uniform on and can't get in the game.

322
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.880
You talked about the atmosphere or the
just the presence. When did it

323
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:26.880
wear off during that game or did
it you know what, I don't know

324
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.880
that it ever does when you when
you when you're on the field. And

325
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.880
the history of the University of Southern
California and John Robinson's on the other sideline

326
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:40.480
and those those uniforms, those iconic
uniforms. I you know, I played

327
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:45.640
against them or or was that games
three times and was always a little bit

328
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.279
I had a little bit of stars
in my eyes, to be quite honest

329
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.160
with you about it. Yeah,
so you went, you went back as

330
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.720
a player or on the team,
you know, active on the team.

331
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.200
In nineteen eighty four game that I
mentioned at the top of the yard where

332
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:02.799
you know Arizona fans thought the Walkats
got jobbed on a call in the end

333
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.279
zone. But you were there for
that game. So when you actually put

334
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:08.440
the uniform on, you're on the
field, you walk out onto the field,

335
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.960
pregame or whatever. You know,
how did you absorb all of that?

336
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.480
Well? It was so the eighty
four game again, we're back in

337
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:23.279
Los Angeles. For me personally,
it was my best statistical game of my

338
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:29.400
college career. I had nine or
ten catches that day, playing like Kim

339
00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.480
McDonald was their free safety. Jack
del Reel like put a big lick on

340
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.119
me that game. I caught a
slant and Jack Reel Jack del Reel basically

341
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:42.599
said like, don't run slants in
my area because I'm gonna hurt you little

342
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:49.680
boy, But you know it's still
at some point you had to say,

343
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.319
you know, I'm good enough to
be here right well, yeah, and

344
00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.160
be competitive and to be on the
field with those guys, with those elite

345
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:04.680
athletes. There was a childhood hero
on mine. You guys might remember a

346
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:11.279
USC receiver named Bob Chandler. Yeah, played for the Bills like in their

347
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.160
glory years, and then played for
the Raiders with Jim Plunkett in their Super

348
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:21.920
Bowl season. Bob Chandler did the
color commentary for the USC radio And I

349
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.559
came out of the locker room after
the game, and Bob Chandler's sitting there

350
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:29.920
waiting, and like I knew immediately
who he was. And he came up

351
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.160
and he said, I was waiting
to I wanted to shake your hand when

352
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.599
you came out of the locker room
because you played the game the same way

353
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.480
that I played it, like coming
from a USC legend, from an NFL

354
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.920
star man, Like we lost the
game, but like I felt pretty good

355
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.079
about me. Yeah, they had
to give you goose bumps. Well,

356
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:56.000
you know, it's like when your
hero or one of your heroes, someone

357
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.960
that you admire and look up to, shakes your hand patchy on the back

358
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.559
man. That's that's a special moment. Let me ask you this historically,

359
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.039
and not all the time, of
course, but historically Arizona always plays the

360
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.119
Trojans will whether they win or not. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't,

361
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.279
but they always play them. Well, why is that? I think

362
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:25.920
Arizona has traditionally had tough teams.
They've had teams that like, are willing

363
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:32.799
to fight, and the reputation of
USC, like, I think that's always

364
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:37.400
been like a chip on our shoulder
to show that we belong on the same

365
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.400
field as they do. Interesting.
Interesting, So you know during the week,

366
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:45.319
you know, because and I don't
know, maybe today it's a little

367
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:51.519
different because you know, the mystique
of USC is kind of kind of got

368
00:25:51.559 --> 00:25:53.279
lost for a while. They're they're
really good again, you know, their

369
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:57.079
top ten team, in top five
in some areas, but the mystique was

370
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.559
kind of lost at that time.
As you said, you had guys like

371
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.319
Marcus Allen, Jack del Rio,
guys who were I don't know what that

372
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:07.920
is, that's me, guys who
became superstars. You know in the NFL.

373
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.680
There was more of a mistique to
them than there is now. But

374
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.960
going into that week of practice.
You know what was you know, what

375
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:21.400
was your approach? How how are
you guys? Uh? You know going

376
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.759
through practice? What was on your
mind? You know, Jay, If

377
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:30.240
you can't get excited to play in
that game, if you need a coach

378
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.799
to amp up your attitude, if
you need coach Rogman to give you a

379
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:38.720
pregame speech when you're getting ready to
take the field against USC, something's wrong

380
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:44.440
with you. You shouldn't have a
uniform on. Yeah. I always joking

381
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:48.240
and maybe a joke say this about
some of the guys from southern California that

382
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:51.839
either the coaches here would say.
You know, they didn't think highly enough

383
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.119
for you to recruit you. Now
go show show them what they're missing,

384
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.400
you know, Steve, I'll tell
you a funny story. When I'm at

385
00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:03.680
Arizona. Rodney Pete is coming out
of high school at Shawnee he went.

386
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.839
He finished his career at Shawnee Mission
High School in Kansas after his father,

387
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.119
Willie took the job with the Chiefs. So Rodney comes back to Arizona for

388
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.839
his recruiting trip and I was his
host. I had known rod since he

389
00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:19.039
was a little boy. You know, we grew up together. I played

390
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:25.720
with Skip, and so Rodney shows
up on campus and like, my job

391
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:29.920
is to show him around and convince
him that Arizona is the place he should

392
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.720
be. The first night out,
he said, dude, let's just go

393
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:40.240
have some fun. I'm going to
the University of Southern California. So then

394
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:42.839
the coaches come back to me after
he announces and they're like, hey,

395
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:47.559
we put our prize recruit in your
hands. You guys were boys. He's

396
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.599
a Tucson kid. How did you
lose him? I'm like, you asked

397
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:57.119
me to beat USC on this,
dude, What did Jack del read a

398
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:02.000
shot at him? You know?
I mean, I get he was from

399
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.000
Tucson and stuff, but you know
he was never coming to Arizona, was

400
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:10.720
he? No, he wasn't you
know. I think Coach Smith was banking

401
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:15.039
on his long term relationship and his
friendship with Willie Pete that that would score

402
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.920
points, which I'm sure it did. I don't think it was ignored.

403
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:25.359
I think rod like still does love
Tucson. But man, those Hollywood lights

404
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.640
they shine pretty bright. And when
you're a star, and when you're like

405
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:33.799
a Heisman Trophy quality player, man, that's where you want to be.

406
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.039
Yeah, well, let's go there, because you transitioned into bringing coach Smith

407
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.000
in here. Now do you blame
him come from leaving here to go there?

408
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:44.799
You know what I never did.
I was never one of those people

409
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:48.519
who held resentment for him. And
I'll tell you another story about Coach Smith.

410
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.240
Long after I was out of school
and Coach Smith had retired, I

411
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:57.480
asked him, we were competitive with
USC, but then you leave and you

412
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:03.519
go there and you take that team
to three Rose Bowls while you're there,

413
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.880
what was the difference? And and
Larry said, Jay, he said,

414
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.319
let me tell you something. My
ones at Arizona were competitive with USC's ones.

415
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.559
But my two's at USC were competitive
with Arizona's ones. My threes at

416
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:21.279
USC were competitive with Arizona's ones.
I just kept reloading that, and that

417
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.279
was it. And now you know, it's always been, That's always been

418
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.200
it. You know. Yeah,
you you might your your top line players

419
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:29.920
might be be good enough, but
when the next guy comes in, and

420
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:32.519
the next guy comes in and the
next guy comes in, I mean god,

421
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.000
I remember being, you know,
covering the I was covering the team

422
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:37.559
when Junior Sea was running around at
linebacker, and then I think Steve,

423
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.599
you were too. I remember being
on the field and watching Junior say I

424
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:44.599
and going, yeah, how do
you get a guy like that? You

425
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.839
know, how does that Arizona ever
get a guy like that? Uh?

426
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.680
You know here and there's just no
way. You guys both know from your

427
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.599
job and the perspective that you get
being right on the field, being right

428
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.559
next to these guys, which you
don't get from the stands, you don't

429
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:06.359
get from the fiftieth row, when
you see them face to face, how

430
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:10.039
big they are, how fast they
are, how violent they are, the

431
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:15.480
collisions that they create. It is
stunning to see those elite level guys perform.

432
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.200
Which brings me to this because I
saw some games of the weekend.

433
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.680
I watch it all the time obviously, but you guys got punished, I

434
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.279
mean just football players in general.
Was there ever a time you said what

435
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:30.480
the hell am I doing here?
You know? See, when you're like

436
00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:37.400
small and slow and skinny, you
better be willing to get blasted or else

437
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.200
there is no other place for you. And that was my position, Like

438
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.720
I had to play reckless. That's
part of the reason why I played reckless,

439
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.559
because if I played soft or timid
like I was gonna get run over

440
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.880
like a road grader. Yeah,
yeah, no, absolutely, absolutely,

441
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:56.200
Yeah. So you know I feel
about all this day, you know,

442
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:02.039
going to the Big Twelve, not
going to be played the LA schools anymore.

443
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:04.759
You have to, I mean,
you played college football. I'm assuming

444
00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.240
you're a bit of a fan.
I mean, how do you feel about

445
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:11.279
all this that's happened over the last
couple of years. Well, you know,

446
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:12.640
I was listening to you guys in
the league, and I actually listened

447
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:18.440
to you guys every afternoon on my
way to practice, and that like my

448
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:25.079
folks were able to go to games
in California. My folks went to watch

449
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.759
this play UCLA and the Rose Bowl, they went to the Coliseum, they

450
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:33.960
went to Stanford in cal that's taken
away. But you also made a good

451
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:40.599
point the glamour of being able to
play in some of those iconic Midwestern cities

452
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:45.319
and stadiums, that there's an allure
to that as well. Yeah, yeah,

453
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:47.599
yeah, no, we'll see what
happens. I do think and we

454
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:52.920
both agree, Jay and I that
Arizona's chances of winning a conference championship is

455
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:57.920
probably a little better in the Big
Twelve. Well, you know, well

456
00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:01.119
at least if you look at the
at the Pac twelve or pack, whatever

457
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:07.200
we want to call it this year, top to bottom, maybe at the

458
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:13.119
very very bottom, there's a couple
sure things, but from one to ten,

459
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.759
man, every Saturday is going to
be a slug fest, right right,

460
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:21.039
And I just don't see, Well, there's well, the thing is

461
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:23.319
in the big tub. We'll keep
saying there's no USC, there's no Washington,

462
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:27.640
there's no Oregon in the in the
in the Big twelve. And I

463
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.039
think that's that's gonna be the big
difference. Well, you know, I

464
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:35.400
hope our fans like enjoy this last
season in our conference and and everything that

465
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.720
we contributed to it. It really
is a special conference. I personally feel

466
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:43.720
like it's a shame that it's gone
away. I understand the reasons why,

467
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:49.400
but I really hope that we as
fans can embrace it and enjoy teams like

468
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:54.480
Washington come into town and and playing
USC and Oregon. Like we need to

469
00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:58.920
like really enjoy that because it's going
away, and it's it's going to be

470
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.559
gone by November. It's over.
Jay. You know, the only way

471
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.240
that our fans here are happy you
gotta win. You gotta win. That's

472
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.119
the only time they're happy. Winning
fixes everything. Hey j Man, glad

473
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.559
to see you're back at our at
our at our home school. Uh once

474
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:20.680
went back to the old stopping grounds. Dude, I'm still sliding down the

475
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:23.079
railing out to the parking lot sitting
between the one hundred and two hundred building.

476
00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:28.640
And you've been there. You lived
at my friend on the Wall,

477

Thank you guys. That was fun, very very fun. Again. I

479
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:40.680
had I had. I was a
senior when Jay was was a freshman,

480
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:44.680
but I had him in a science
class. Oh god, you do so

481
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:46.920
old, and he's not even I
took a chief science class because I dropped

482
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.240
out of chemistry and took earth sights. I just got through, man,

483
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.519
I just got through. And the
day was a He was a star right

484
00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:59.920
away as a receiver Arizona. He
came in John Missmer if you remember,

485
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.759
Yeah, he was at he was
in my shafts. I know Mark Day

486
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:05.359

491
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.679

the eyes of twenty five former players,

492
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:24.039
coaches, and friends to give insight
to the coach and the man who

led them, competed against them,
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for

anybody wants to call, We're gonna get

555
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:01.760
some jid stuff here. Yeah,
you know, I'd love to hear you

556
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:05.639
know, look, Arizone has been
going to as mentioned, there's one's been

557
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:10.360
going to the h LLI costume over
forty years, right, So I'd love

558
00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:13.800
to hear some other folks memories of
that. I've got a lot of memories

559
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:15.760
from you know, going to games
there as a fan, went there a

560
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:20.559
couple of times as a as a
as a writer. You know, what

561
00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:22.760
are your memories of the colssume?
And how much are you gonna miss that?

562
00:39:22.159 --> 00:39:25.960
I'd be great to hear from some
folks now five two zero four one.

563
00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:31.280
So uh, Jed, obviously you
know we're in usc week was asked,

564
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:35.840
Uh, you know, you know, are you gonna miss playing in

565
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:37.320
l A. What did you like
about that? Is it gonna affect recruiting

566
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.679
all of those things? Here's what
he had to say. Well, I

567
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:45.800
mean it's been you know, over
the course of the years. You'd play

568
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.400
one game there, right, so
it'd be a one game differential. Uh.

569
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.239
What I would say is you have
the ability to still drive from southern

570
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:59.440
California here and get here in about
six seven hours. Uh, be able

571
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:04.199
to watch your son play seven times
based on the fact that the team up

572
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.800
north and US are both in the
Big twelve, so that rivalry will continue,

573
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:09.920
that game will continue. So we
either have seven home games or not,

574
00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:14.960
or six home games in one over
there. I would say that I

575
00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:16.760
do not. I think it's an
advantage for us that we're still going to

576
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:20.639
be playing. When you start looking
at the other games, you still have

577
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:25.239
Utah available, Colorado available, a
easy flights from California and you have the

578
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:30.800
games in Texas, and there'll be
a significant amount of games in Texas with

579
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:36.440
the four teams in the conference there. Very different than you know, having

580
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:43.079
to fly all over the Midwest and
the Northeast to go to road games.

581
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:49.079
Very different than the weather opportunities or
the weather that you could end up getting

582
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:52.320
delays, flight issues, all the
things that occur. So I think for

583
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.119
sure, if you're from southern California, go to Arizona was the way to

584
00:40:55.159 --> 00:41:00.079
go. Well, he's continued to
recruit, right Yeah, that's what exactly

585
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:05.079
what he's doing right there, he's
recruiting. He's he's absolutely recruiting right there.

586
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:07.760
But uh again, you know you'll
you'll miss it. I mean,

587
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:09.440
how can you not miss going over
to playing the costume in the Rose Bowl.

588
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:13.639
I don't, Yeah, I see. To me, it's to me,

589
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:15.559
it's nothing because I only went there
once, you know, in ninety

590
00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:19.119
when they beat him ninety. No, but don't don't you like, like,

591
00:41:19.280 --> 00:41:22.920
uh no, don't you love the
mystique in the history of a place,

592
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.239
Like when you don't know that when
you know I was gonna say some

593
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.599
stupid analogy, No, when you
just don't know you don't know, and

594
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:31.360
I just don't know. In basketball, it's like I don't miss the sports

595
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:35.840
Arena. When they built Gala the
Rock, that was a rat hole,

596
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:40.480
Steve, nobody missed the sports what
we call the sports Aroma exactly. You

597
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:44.719
know, here's the you know,
anytime Arizona ever went to play there,

598
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:46.800
it wasn't a full house, right, yeah, fifty sixty thousand people.

599
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:50.559
Whatever. I had the I had
the chance of speaking to Rodney pet I

600
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.199
had the chance, uh one of
yours. I was covering the team.

601
00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:59.400
It was gonna be Larry the first
time Larry Smith played Arizona. So sou

602
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:05.159
Arizona had laid yeah, no over
there. It was or coming you no

603
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:07.400
coming here? Right? It was
eighty eight season because the Arizona played at

604
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:13.440
Oklahoma. Then Arizona was gonna play
I think Central Michigan or Eastern one of

605
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:17.119
the Michigan's directional Michigans, and then
they were gonna play USC. I believe

606
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.840
that was gonna be the game.
It was gonna be there. So they

607
00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:24.119
say instead of sending me, instead
of having me cover the home game with

608
00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:30.880
Central Michigan, whoever it was Eastern
Michigan, they sent me to La to

609
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:36.400
cover the Oklahoma USC game and both
teams were in the top ten at the

610
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:39.079
time. It was ninety five thousand
people there. Yeah, and so I

611
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.280
got to be at that game,
you know, at a game where the

612
00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:49.559
coliseum was full and the loudness of
it and you know, again one of

613
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.960
those one of the best games of
the year kind of thing on the national

614
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:55.760
stage. Rodney Pete was the quarterback
and the whole bit, And I got

615
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:58.800
to cover that game. So I
got to be there for a game like

616
00:42:58.920 --> 00:43:02.480
that where it was where the where
the atmosphere was incredible, and then of

617
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:09.280
course covered the game when when they
played uh Arizona here. So to me,

618
00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:13.079
I'm you know, I love the
history of those kinds of things,

619
00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:15.880
as you know, as Jay Dobbins
was saying, you know that when you

620
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:17.679
think about the players that played there, you know, Marcus Allen not only

621
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:22.280
playing for USC, but the leader
playing there for the Raiders. So I

622
00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:23.599
feel, uh, you know,
I'm gonna miss it. I really am

623
00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:27.760
going to miss it. So Jed
was then asked, uh, okay,

624
00:43:27.800 --> 00:43:30.840
do you you know you're not gonna
be in the conference anymore? YadA,

625
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:34.119
YadA, YadA. Are you gonna
miss or do you want to keep playing

626
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:37.760
them, which it'll be interesting to
see how the administrations of well handle that.

627
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:42.800
Jay, there's questions that are loaded, and there's some questions that are

628
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.800
not loaded. How are you going
to answer that question? Well, this

629
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:51.960
is how he answered it. I
would love to play U s l A

630
00:43:52.559 --> 00:44:00.000
or USC or San Diego State,
Calm Stanford every year if we could get

631
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:01.840
that done, if we could find
a way to make that the non conference

632
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:07.320
Power five game, I think that
would be fantastic to be able to do

633
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:12.280
that. Those are challenging because of
everybody's scheduling and how that works, and

634
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:16.320
how football is so different than basketball. That our schedule. I went on

635
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:20.960
Wikipedia the other night and I saw
that we have like games scheduled for twenty

636
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:24.800
thirty three or something to that effect. But I'm hopeful that we'll be able

637
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:29.199
to make that happen. I'm hopeful
maybe we could play some games it's so

638
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:32.079
fie, maybe do something like that. I think that would be an amazing

639
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:36.360
opportunity to use our connections with the
RAMS and see if we could do something

640
00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:39.119
there. So that would be number
one. Yes, that would be fantastic.

641
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.559
Skill recruiting, excuse me, coach, Will you be here in twenty

642
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:51.800
thirty three? Come on, man, well, by the way, you

643
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:57.599
brought some be up coaching, Will
you be here in twenty twenty? You're

644
00:44:57.639 --> 00:45:01.360
always digging into something like that.
Oh, that's kind of funny. But

645
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.440
he's still recruiting there though, right
he wants to play in California, so

646
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:10.800
he could tell recruits we're still gonna
play. So so what would you still

647
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:14.320
want to do this? I want
to still play against something? Oh no,

648
00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:17.599
I don't think. So we're moving
on, right, And the thing

649
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:21.400
is, you know what are the
administration's going to say, right, people

650
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:22.960
above him and say, you know
what, those those guys screwed us.

651
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.920
We're not playing. But when he
was talking about we still want to play,

652
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:31.760
you could have had the conference wised
up exactly exactly so I you know,

653
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:34.800
yeah, I mean, if if
I was going to place us here,

654
00:45:34.840 --> 00:45:37.639
you still like I do, would
I would try to go yeah,

655
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:40.400
because it's gonna be one of those
rare routies trip to go to. Yeah,

656
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:43.719
you don't have fun, Sure,
you could even go down. I

657
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:45.039
forget it old, I mean,
I'm getting too old. I mean,

658
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:47.519
I you know, I'm trying to
make it to the Alabama game in like

659
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:53.880
twenty thirty two, Will met this
man be here in twenty thirty two,

660
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.960
seventy four or seventy three. Oh
man, that's what I'm saying. I

661
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:07.840
don't know if I'll even be able
to travel, right, don't you got

662
00:46:07.400 --> 00:46:13.159
another one of the storylines is the
three guys from Arizona. Yeah, so

663
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:16.239
left to go to USC and Jed
was asked, you know, did you

664
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:21.840
have a message to your players about, you know, making sure that you

665
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:28.079
kind of you keep yourselves in line
when you're when you're facing these three guys.

666
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:30.719
Here's where here He was basically asked, did you have a message for

667
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:37.079
the team? The message was decisions
were made at the end of the season

668
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:43.239
by certain players, decisions were made
by the staff, decisions were made by

669
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:51.320
the program. And we don't get
into what why people transferred and whether people

670
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:57.199
were encouraged or discouraged to transfer.
But I would say that this has to

671
00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:04.480
be about us and we don't need
to get caught up in the emotions of

672
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:09.119
playing former players or former teammates,
because if any of them have any aspirations

673
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:13.400
to be in the National Football League, they will be doing that on a

674
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:17.079
weekly basis. And if that is
the case, uh, and they're gonna

675
00:47:17.119 --> 00:47:21.239
get wrapped up in the emotion of
it, they will be cut from the

676
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:25.400
NFL teams that they play at because
it's gonna be a constant battle between Oh,

677
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:28.199
this guy was on this team,
now he's on that team. This

678
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:30.440
guy was traded, this guy was
picked up, this guy was a free

679
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:35.360
agent, and all the things that
go into their futures that I would recommend

680
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.400
just going out there and playing really
good football, but there is certainly,

681
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:45.239
Ah, it's personal. Let's say
that, and the team understands that.

682
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:49.440
So there's a lot of things to
digest. R Right, do you think

683
00:47:49.559 --> 00:47:58.760
do you think that USC coach Riley
will kind of throw to him more Singer

684
00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:02.079
more? Yeah? I'd be willing
to bet that Dorian Singer went and asked

685
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:06.920
him if he would do that more, But maybe only because you know,

686
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.239
again, every every pass that Dorian
Singer catches, he's gonna piss somebody off

687
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:16.800
on the Arizona sideline. Right,
this should be an interesting or or will

688
00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:22.679
Jed Fish throw more at Christian Roland
Wallace? Yeah? No, no,

689
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:23.480
I don't think that, right,
I don't think that, you know,

690
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:25.880
I think the other way. I
think with Singer, you get a sense

691
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:31.440
though that you know that they probably
you know, they feel they know Christian

692
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:36.159
Roland Wallace right, so they might
know some tendencies and might be able to

693
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:38.440
pick on some things there. He
does this every time. So we'll do

694
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:45.920
this kind of like last week when
when Washington recognized that Arizona stuck a freshman

695
00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.239
linebacker in on their tight end and
they immediately threw a bomb to that tight

696
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.360
end. Coaches watched that, you
know, they watched it. You know

697
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.159
they're looking for it for if they're
in a certain uh, in a certain

698
00:48:55.360 --> 00:48:59.840
formation whatever, that they know Christian
Waller Roland Wallace is going to do a

699
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:04.000
thing that they're gonna try and take
advantage of that those little pieces of information.

700
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:07.119
I bet you whatever you want to
bet that Singer has a huge day,

701
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:12.360
huge day, huge, huge,
his his his most what's his most

702
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.480
catches there this year for five whatever, that he has a best day,

703
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:20.559
the best day of the the Trojan. I'll bet you that. Okay,

704
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:24.039
catches and yards or what we're talking
about. Catches and yards. Okay,

705
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:28.079
Okay, let's put this way.
I have to he has if he has

706
00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:31.199
more catches and more yards. You
win. He has fewer catches and fewer

707
00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:35.880
yards. I win. If it's
a split, okay, if it's a

708
00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:39.400
split, Okay. And at the
break, now, let's let's say maybe

709
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:42.159
because I want to see the numbers. Okay, we'll look it up.

710
00:49:42.199 --> 00:49:43.920
We'll look it up, and then
we'll see you come back and we'll talk

711
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:46.320
about Okay, we'll look on the
luck and we'll lock up his game because

712
00:49:46.320 --> 00:49:50.639
it might be crazy, but let's
yeah, I'm willing to do that.

713
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:52.199
We had a pretty good game against
Colorado. Yeah, yeah, so we'll

714
00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:54.679
if I like those numbers, well
i'll say it, okay, all right,

715
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:57.679
Well, okay, I like the
idea of a bet like that.

716
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:00.840
Okay, let's uh, let's say
you're wearing the same mad I'm warning today

717
00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:08.159
I wore this yesterday. Today much
dirtier. All right, Okay, we've

718
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:10.960
had enough. Okay, So do
you remember what song I played last hour?

719
00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:13.960
Well, you have to have access
to a lot of rooms, you

720
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:15.199
know, But I don't know.
I don't know the names of most of

721
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:19.719
those. Those are those songs.
All right, we're gonna take our break,

722
00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:22.440
We're gonna come back. We got
a little bit of breaking news we'll

723
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:31.960
probably just talk some more usc stuff, so stick around. Don't believe,

724
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:35.039
I don't believe.
