00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.519
one's really talked much about this.
I didn't go to the press coverers,

18
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:11.480
so I didn't really get a vibe. No. I went Monday. I

19
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.799
think I went Monday to jed.
Uh, there's eight point dogs, seven

20
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.920
a half point dogs, but it's
gone down from whatever it was. Teddy

21
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.319
leven. Not much is going on. We're gonna have two guys who kind

22
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.239
of know their teams right now.
Justin Spears. Justin Spears coming in at

23
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.480
at the top at the in the
first hour, uh, obviously being writer

24
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.439
for you know, covering the Wildcats
Arizona, I mean for the Star.

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.799
So we'll get we'll get with him
and get his thoughts on on the Arizona

26
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.239
side of it. And then Greg

00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:46.599
the spots UH, the Spokesman Review
newspaper out of Spokane. He's the beat

28
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.040
writer for UH covering Washington State.
You know, I was putting those guys

29
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.640
pictures on our social media thing.
I thought you can add up their ages

30
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:57.959
and they still don't get to mind. I didn't think that, but I

31
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.840
thought something similar since holy crap,
see this is what journalisms started to no

32
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.120
disrespect. Yeah, but it's a
bunch of youngsters. Yeah. Well you

33
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.520
put the picture of the kid from
you a see, Yeah, and he

34
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:10.240
was like twelve, he was like
twelve. No, no, And we

35
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:13.319
were young at one time too,
so I'm sure the guys before us,

36
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.560
you know what, I didn't look
that young, no, you when I

37
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.360
was that young to say no.
But that's just the way it is.

38
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.680
I mean, we were I was
at a media conference last night Newsworthy.

39
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.120
I don't know if you heard.
Trustworthy Channel four was kind of part of

40
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.400
it, but it was a national
thing, very good show about how people

41
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.080
watch the news now. But you
were you were in your late twenties when

42
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.840
you were you know, you were
covering the beat for you know, football.

43
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:38.639
No, No, I was since
I was twenty three years old,

44
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:44.240
so I was still young doing that. Uh yeah, yeah. I was

45
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.439
twenty seven, twenty six, twenty
seven when I covered you a lout,

46
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.439
And that's kind of felt young covering
Dick was not that it was not that

47
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.560
bad. Twenty three you were there, you were you were twenty thirty eight,

48
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.000
yeah, twenty eight, Yeah,
I say about five years when I

49
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:04.879
started covering football, I was twenty
twenty six, twenty seven, twenty seven,

50
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.800
when I started covering basketball. Yeah, I felt young there. Yeah

51
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.000
me too, Me too because Jack
Rickard, you know, the old veteran

52
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.120
guy, he was young. He
was on the other side of sure.

53
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.520
For me, I did feel young. I was not intimidated, but I

54
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:20.879
just felt pretty young to be doing
this. I felt the same way.

55
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.280
I felt the same way, and
I didn't want to. I didn't want

56
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.240
to take that job because it was
too intimidating for lude and the words I

57
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:29.599
had heard about the media. But
it was fine, It was fine.

58
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.039
Let me ask you something, because
the media is what it is. Are

59
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:36.439
we ready to pay people ten thousand
dollars to come on the show, much

60
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.439
less a million dollars to see that
man, much less a million dollars.

61
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:40.280
No, if we got to pay
you to be on our show, then

62
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.199
you're not gonna be on our show, probably, I've heard. Yeah,

63
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.560
exactly right, exactly, you know. I mean in the end, we're

64
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.680
still kind of Newsy, you know, And if you pay somebody then it's

65
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:54.080
kind of like you're paying him for
what to say certain things or information.

66
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.840
That's I found it very not very
well. I found it interesting, obviously,

67
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.039
we're talking about the Pat pain no
wonder, no wonder he was buddies

68
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.159
with, Yeah you've got all this
stuff. Yeah, yeah, he was

69
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:12.240
paying for his information, for Saban
and for uh Aaron Rodgers Rogers. You

70
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.240
know. Well, on the one
hand, if that if this had happened,

71
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:19.680
if this we found this out twenty
years ago, needs me to would

72
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.720
have lost its mind. Sure,
everybody lost their today. It's kind of

73
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.040
like that's how you gotta play the
game. Yeah, but you don't.

74
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.079
But you don't, you don't have
to. But but people do. And

75
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.279
it's not I don't think it's as
big a deal because okay, uh,

76
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.480
what's his name that does that?
Tom Brady? Uh think you know,

77
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:44.079
Tim Jim Jim Gray, you know, does you know has time? Whoever's

78
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.040
paying who? Somebody's getting paid,
you know, or maybe it's Tom Brady's

79
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.879
thing, you know, that's right, that's his thing. But you know,

80
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.879
I think the only the only thing
about it is that if Pat mcafew

81
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.040
wants to be taken as a analyst, journalist whatever, you know, because

82
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.879
he's on Game Day now where Herb
Street and and those guys are providing an

83
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:12.160
analysis and stuff, and he's paying
people to give him information. That takes

84
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.639
a lot that I think that takes
away a lot of the credibility of a

85
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.759
guy, like he had zero credibility
with you. No, I hear you,

86
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.120
and that's maybe he's he's a hit
guy with the youngsters, your son

87
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.240
like a group, you know.
I watched the show recently a lot,

88
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.839
not a lot, but a lot
more than I ever have. I like

89
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.600
to show it's it's it's maca.
I like to show from tend to whatever

90
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.279
it is. Sometimes they get some
bombs in there, some some Chris words

91
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.879
in there. I'm thinking, oh
wow, really cool. But h but

92
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.519
I think we had we talked about
this, so maybe a year or so

93
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:50.160
ago when I a possibility to come
on the show, And what did we

94
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.800
say. I don't think so.
I don't think I don't think so.

95
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.800
You know. But what they get
from us and what we get from them

96
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.480
is kind of tree. They get
to come and tell their story and we

97
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.560
and you know, people listen to
us to hear them tell their story,

98
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.560
right right. If that was the
case, you and I would be the

99
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.639
only well no, we we know
who to ask, right. Yeah.

100
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.279
Some people have said, you know, do you pay No? Sorry,

101
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.360
we don't. We don't, Sorry, don't who don't have the money?

102
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.600
No, would we We're not.
Yeah, we wouldn't even if we did.

103
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.920
Yeah, if there's some rich show, you know, if we were

104
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.360
the pet I mean no, I'm
not good, you know, no,

105
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.519
not not gonna yeah to me as
as a journalist that still says, you

106
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:33.759
know, we're trying to get information
clean, unbiased, you know, you

107
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.000
know, say whatever you're gonna say. We know, like we know when

108
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:41.519
we go to the Jetfish press conference, he's got an idea of the information

109
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.160
he wants to put out. Sure, and if there's something he doesn't want

110
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.959
to put out, he doesn't does
and he knows he's only got to do

111
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.319
it for fifteen minutes, sure,
twice a week. Sure, that's it.

112
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:55.079
He's only got to as opposed to
sitting down with you and me and

113
00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:00.040
other reporters individually for twenty minutes a
half hour or whatever like they used to

114
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.839
or the press you know the Tuesday
uh you know media session that we had,

115
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.040
yeah, you know with with Loot
and then and then and also with

116
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.120
with the football coaches with well,
we'd be there an hour and a half.

117
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.079
Sure, Sure, and we get
him on on our own right,

118
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:15.439
Yeah, you get him one on
one, you get players one on one.

119
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.759
Yeah, you get him at you
know, so, uh, you

120
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.879
know that's that's the way it should
be. That's the way it needs to

121
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.759
be, at least as as much
as you can in terms of the information

122
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:30.639
that you're getting. They control it
enough already without letting them control of the

123
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.639
war. Sure, sure, sure, No. I just found that to

124
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.720
be a surprise. Well surprise,
not surprise. I was not surprised.

125
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.800
Yeah, well if you found out. Yeah, when I heard that Pat

126
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.240
McAfee was paying you want to be
on the show, I'm like that that

127
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:47.839
that tracks. No, no,
it does, you know you know what?

128
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.519
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you
found it interesting before. Now you

129
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:55.199
say, oh it makes sense now
yeah yeah. Okay, we'll have the

130
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.800
two guys in today. We're also
gonna have Judge Fisher jab three five ish.

131
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.480
He checked with me this morning.
Yeah, yeah, he was out

132
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.639
last week, so he's coming back
today. We'll talk to him about the

133
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.399
Washington State game. He was part
of that boogaboo whatever you call it,

134
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:16.480
bad vibe thing with Washington State,
right, bad lost and then win the

135
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.199
big game next week and one.
We'll talk about that. So okay,

136
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.560
cool. Yeah, Now anyway,
so now I'm you know, it's funny

137
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.920
because there there was a lot of
buzz up to the Washington game, a

138
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.879
lot of buzz for the USC game. Not so much. It's on the

139
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:37.000
road. It's one thing that that
might be part of it. Also just

140
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.279
just the fact that it's Washington State. They don't get people's attention, right,

141
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.120
even though it's a hard it's a
hard game to win. Yeah,

142
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.000
it doesn't ra r. Yeah,
you don't get people's attention with that with

143
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.919
with Washington State, right, No, but guess what if you don't have

144
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.720
their attention, you're gonna win the
game. And and and here they are

145
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.279
against against thetty good team. They're
pretty good. Do you know that they

146
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.879
are good? And this is one
of what we talked about this all the

147
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.159
time. This is one of those
games that they had to have to win

148
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.320
to get to six. One organ
stated to me, I think I put

149
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.039
three of them together now and they
and they they don't have to get two,

150
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.039
but they definitely got to get one. But if they if they only

151
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.320
get one, that that's the next
three Washington State, Oregon State, U

152
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.639
c l A. They don't get
one of those and then then they gotta

153
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.960
win their life. You give me
the plan to six they get. If

154
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.759
they get one of those, then
they got to get two of the last

155
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.840
three, and that gets them to
say, is Utah Colorado ISSU or Colorado

156
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:41.559
Utah? Is Colorado Utah at Colorado
Utah? Possible? Yeah? Yeah,

157
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.960
uh okay, I would like in
order to feel get a better have a

158
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.799
better feel for it, because then
this is how you put it together.

159
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.240
When one of these next two Okay, now you've got four, win one

160
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.559
of the next two after that,
which is uh which is Colorado uh U

161
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.759
c l a Colorado? Okay,
one at home, a winnable game on

162
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.960
the road, Win one of those
there, and then win one of the

163
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.240
last two ideally a s U.
That gets you to six, right,

164
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.200
if that's the magic number. Yeah, still possible, Still possible. I

165
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:20.240
won't still very possible. Yeah,
yeah, yes, I won't argue with

166
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.039
that. But if they don't they
don't win then and two in these next

167
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:26.679
two, and they got to win
three of the last four. That's gonna

168
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.879
be hard, and that two is
possible, but that's still possible. Yeah,

169
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.559
dude, it's possible for them to
go oh and six yeah, and

170
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:37.159
it's possible for them to go six. Let me ask you, yes,

171
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:39.679
Okay, let's let's assume this.
And I hate to do this, but

172
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.360
let's say they go oh and six
or one and five to finish four and

173
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:50.679
eight or three and nine. Well, that's very bad. But they're still

174
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.799
better, well, at least right
now, they're better. Maybe not.

175
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.279
No, if they if they go
down and go and lose, lose all

176
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.320
those games and lose to a su
you're not gonna say at the end of

177
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:01.639
the year that they were better than
last year. They're better, though right

178
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.399
now they're better. They seemed to
be better, Okay, right, okay,

179
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.879
yeah, but but here's the thing
going on. Six is not gonna

180
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.080
happen. I just that's not gonna
happen. They may go to and four,

181
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.639
right, they might go to and
four and not go to a bowl

182
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.799
game, okay, to but they're
not going on this get him to five

183
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.639
and seven. They're a better team. But the league was just better.

184
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.159
Yeah, and like like I said
before, and better, but the league

185
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.200
was better and and they ran into
it. I mean, and everybody everybody's

186
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.600
went to the week we said that
at the beginning of the year, they

187
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.639
could be a lot better than they
were last year and not have a better

188
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.759
record than they had last year.
We've known that all them. I've said

189
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.519
that, all of them. That's
why five to me was the number that

190
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:46.159
and I didn't know how good Colorado
was going to be, and I still

191
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.279
kind of don't know. We still
don't know. We'll see the game this

192
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.840
weekend. Yeah, they're you know, they're starting to get their guys back.

193

00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.320
that. No, that's not what
it's. Yeah, he bitched about the

200
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.879
eight o'clock game. How he said, how is this happening? Blah blah

201
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.200

the road because I think they're I think

202
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:30.480
they're like a like an early game. I'm not too sure. I think

203
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.759

Good afternoon? So you you covered Jed

322
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:15.680
pretty thoroughly. Obviously we're kind of
on the outside looking in. Really,

323
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.039
did you get a sense of how
important or the vibe is not from the

324
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.279
team but from the community, because
it seems like some of the vibe has

325
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:33.599
worn off just in terms of the
importance of like the football program again,

326
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.880
but just the week, just a
week, this particular game, because you

327
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.319
know, there was some buzz to
the Washington game. It was a home

328
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.519
game. People there. Then it
was usc you know, with the way

329
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.160
we talked about at least the way
I talked it up with that I thought

330
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.359
Arizona had a chance to win the
game. So there was a lot of

331
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.000
conversation about it. But it's kind
of like it seems like that's died down

332
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:56.319
because it's Washington State. From our
end, what do you see? What

333
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.799
do you see? Yeah, honestly, I I think just in terms of

334
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:07.960
you know, from Arizona fans perspective, I think they're very cautiously optimistic right

335
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.119
now, because you know, you
look at the three losses this season.

336
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:18.759
We're talking about an overtime game in
SEC Country to Mississippi State. You lose

337
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.000
by a touchdown there, and who
knows what happens if Jaden Dolora picks up

338
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.200
that first down there in overtime,
and then you know, the other game

339
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:33.240
is a seven point loss to pretty
much the best team in the Pac twelve

340
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.279
right now, in the Washington Huskies. And with their great quarterback and their

341
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.960
great offense blah blah blah, they
had a lot going for them going into

342
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.119
that game. And Arizona it was
the first time that they had rolled out

343
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:51.200
no Fafiita as a as QB one
as the guy starting and playing an entire

344
00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:55.160
game, and he got Arizona to
win in a touchdown. They fell behind

345
00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:57.279
early and they were playing catch up
the entire game. I think that's ultimately

346
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:02.480
what cost them. They had a
chance there towards the end. And then,

347
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:07.519
as you guys all know last week
against USC, triple overtime. I

348
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.480
mean, USC gave those guys that
game on a silver platter with the field

349
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.920
goal of debacle at the end with
you know how overtime was set up,

350
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.720
Jetfish could have easily gone for two
on that first overtime and won the game.

351
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:23.519
Just so many things. And you
know they talk about how football is

352
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:26.440
a game of benches, but like, man, there there are a few

353
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.440
things this season that, man,
if it had swung just a little bit

354
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:36.839
of an Arizona's favors, then maybe
we're talking about this team being five and

355
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:41.839
one at this point, and being
five and one with this game coming up,

356
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.000
going into a bye week, you
can feeling pretty good right uf here

357
00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:48.319
Arizona. But right now they're three
and three. They've just lost two in

358
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.599
a row. And I'll tell you
what, guys, losing three in a

359
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.920
row and going in three and four
is a lot different than four and three

360
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.440
and snapping a losing skid. So
there's a lot I feel like at steak

361
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.799
with this game. And then as
we all know what the whole quarterback situation,

362
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.440
you know is, Jaden Delora is
a Nolfa Fida and I feel like

363
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:12.559
a lot of people they liked what
they saw out in Alpha Fieda in those

364
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:17.720
two games, and they wanted Arizona
to ride the hot hand. Heck,

365
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.839
even former players are out here proving
on Twitter that they think that Arizona should

366
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.079
ride the hot hand and keep No
Fafiita in there. But Jetfish has said

367
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:32.759
that when healthy, Jaden Delora is
the starter. Now how healthy Jaden Delora

368
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:34.519
is, I don't know. And
Jetfish is doing a really good job this

369
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:41.200
week of keeping his cards close to
his chest. But yeah, I think

370
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.000
a lot of fans they wanted Arizona
to make that quarterback change. And you

371
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.640
know, so many of us football
watchers tend to be the coach. We

372
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:55.400
like to be that that quarterback that
sits on the couch. But I think

373
00:24:55.400 --> 00:25:00.000
that Jetfish what he wants to do
is give Jaden another shot when healthy.

374
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:04.359
But at this point that leash is
very very short, because now you know

375
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.599
exactly what no FAFA can bring you. And jet Fish even said during his

376
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.039
radio show earlier in the week that
he is not opposed to making a quarterback

377
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.880
change mid game. So I kind
of feel like going into this game,

378
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.440
there's just a lot at stake here
for a lot of reasons, and this

379
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.680
could determine how the rest of the
season is going to go. Well,

380
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:32.039
what if Jaden is like ninety nine
point five percent healthy or ninety seven percent

381
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:36.480
healthy. You know he did.
He leave himself an ount for going ahead

382
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.480
and playing, you know, starting
Forefeta one more time, even if Jaden

383
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:45.400
is really close to being ready to
play. See, I don't. I

384
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.880
don't know, man, because I
think if you're at that level, you

385
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.200
know you're going up against your former
team in Washington State. I feel like

386
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.359
this is the ultimate prove it game
for Jaden Delora to show that, Okay,

387
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:59.640
yeah, I could still be the
guy. I could still be QB

388
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.319
one and lead this team to wins. Because that's the thing here is if

389
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.680
Jaden DeLaura goes out and throws for
three to four touchdowns, runs the ball

390
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.079
very well, and Arizona pulls out
a win, which is I mean,

391
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.920
it's all tasks because let's be real
here in Washington State is a really good

392
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:19.200
team. I think that then you
know, we'd be going get into the

393
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.359
bye week and everyone be Okay,
Jaden Dolaora is that guy. No Fafida

394
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.319
is the quarterback after this year.
But then you get into a situation where

395
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:33.599
you know Jaden Dolaura is also he
still has eligibility lift I just I don't

396
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.440
know where Arizona's going to be at
in terms of quarterbacks this year or after

397
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:44.160
this year. But I would imagine
that nolh Flafida is the starter moving forward

398
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.839
after this season. But you never
know. But I like going back just

399
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:52.640
to you know, this Washington State
game, I think Jaden will start.

400
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.000
You know, he look good in
pregame warm ups against USC when he was

401
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.880
wearing just cleats and he was you
know, kind of rolling out and doing

402
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.200
some scrambles and stuff like that.
And that was a whole week ago.

403
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:08.519
Now after rehabbing, and according to
Jetfish, he's been practicing in full pass

404
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:12.000
all this week, has been running
with the team offense. So I think

405
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:15.559
that's an encouraging sign for Jaden the
Lord to be available. But man,

406
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:22.480
if he goes out and he throws
three interceptions and they're like legitimately his fault

407
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.920
and Arizona gets in a hole and
the or the offense sputters like it did

408
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:32.519
against Stanford, then does Jetfish look
over his shoulder and go, maybe it's

409
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:34.160
the FETA times. I don't know, that's something to monitor. So justin

410
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:38.960
you said that we're all coaches sitting
on the couch, what does coach Justin

411
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.920
Spears. Do I know what I
do? Well, I do the same

412
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:48.359
thing. I sit on the couch
and he ships, well, get off

413
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.279
that couch and get off that couch
and make a decision. Who's going to

414
00:27:52.319 --> 00:28:00.519
start for Justin Spears. If I'm
making the quarterback decision for Arizona, yeah,

415
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:07.960
I would start Flafita. Honestly,
this I listen. I know that

416
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:11.440
Jayden has a very high feeling.
And again it's like you have to weigh

417
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.920
two things here. You have to
understand that Jayden at this point in his

418
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:22.400
career, actually has a higher feeling
than Noel Fafida, but he's also got

419
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:27.640
a lower floor than him too.
Noel Fafiita is you know, he may

420
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:32.480
not make all of those splashy plays
that Jayden Dolaura makes, And I think

421
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.079
Jayden Delare is a little bit of
a better runner, but nol Fa Fieda

422
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:40.359
makes Chris throws. He plays very
clean. I mean, with the exception

423
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:47.640
of those two interceptions against Washington and
USC, He's completed about seventy two percent

424
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:52.000
of his passes and he just won
packs one fresh in the week. I

425
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.920
mean, the way he demands the
offense and the guy's rally around this guy.

426
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.640
He just has something to him that
makes guys just play better. And

427
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.000
you know, all of a sudden, you would know fa Fida as Arizona's

428
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:07.200
quarterback. Jacob Kelling has all of
a sudden, like really come back to

429
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:12.519
life after having a somewhat sluggish start. Team AC I think has been Arizona's

430
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:18.759
MVP on offense this season. But
Noah is to me the future. He's

431
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:25.960
playing very well right now and I
truly believe that I think no fa Fida

432
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:30.720
should be the guy starting. But
what I think is gonna happen is Jaden

433
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:36.720
DeLaura will get his opportunity and if
he fumbles it then that's it. Then

434
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.480
Nofafida era is officially here at at
Arizona. Yeah, I mean this is

435
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:42.440
this is you know, Nick Foles, Matt Scott all over again. Uh

436
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.079
you know, going back to you
know, you had two guys who you

437
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.240
could play, so you know,
you play one or the other. I

438
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:52.440
don't see a situation where you would
you would do both though, right,

439
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:57.279
he's a one quarterback guy. It's
as far as Jed Yeah, yeah,

440
00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:03.279
there's no way they can roll out
the two quarterback system that you know,

441
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.000
as you guys know that hasn't been
done around here since nineteen ninety eight.

442
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:12.039
It just it just does not really
work out. And so and if you're

443
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:18.640
Jaden, you know, if no
if a Fida is getting those starting reps,

444
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.000
you have to understand that, Okay, well, no Flafida is the

445
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.559
guy. And if you're No a
fa Fida and you know Jaden DeLaura comes

446
00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:26.839
back another season, you know,
what do you do? Do you transfer?

447
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:32.400
Do you try to beat him out
as as the starter? I don't,

448
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.519
I don't know. I think the
plan is that Jayden Dolaura is going

449
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:38.920
to leave one way or another,
and then Nolhafida will take over like he

450
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:45.200
has to because this guy is a
really good quarterback and I think in Arizona

451
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:51.799
can really right on this guy's shoulders
for the next couple of years. They're

452
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:56.720
going to win a lot of games. Agree, totally agree. It doesn't

453
00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.400
seem like I love Michael Wiley.
I thought he was a key to this

454
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.960
team being good this year. He's
been injured, But I also love Jonah

455
00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:08.799
Coleman. They really haven't missed a
lot with with with with Wiley being out

456
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:17.920
either, No and Michael Wiley is
to do it all back that headlines everything,

457
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.440
and this is actually a really good
opportunity for you know, guys like

458
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:29.559
Jonah Coleman or even DJ Williams,
who I thought had some impressive runs against

459
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:33.920
USC with the exception of that last
play at the end that was just a

460
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:42.440
complete train wreck. But the running
backs have been spectacular and they're also really

461
00:31:44.680 --> 00:31:48.039
benefiting Arizona in the passing game too, you know. And you know,

462
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:53.160
when you look at the the third
task catcher beyond Team Mac and Jacob Cowan,

463
00:31:53.880 --> 00:32:00.759
it's kind of been by committee between
the running backs between Montanelmonius Craig,

464
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:05.880
who I thought would be putting up
a lot better numbers, But you also

465
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:09.559
have Tanner McLachlin too in Arizona's tight
end, and that number three spot is

466
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:14.400
just kind of depending on who's got
the hot hand in the game. It

467
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:20.160
could be a running back, whether
it's Jonah Coleman or Michael Wiley earlier in

468
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.279
the season, or they could be
Tanner McLachlin, who we saw, you

469
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:29.759
know, when Arizona's offense was really
struggling come to life and scored that touchdown

470
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:36.079
there in that first half. So
the number three option at receiver that's you

471
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.160
know, like I said, it's
been by a committee, but those running

472
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:44.880
backs have had a huge hand and
what they do offensively, and I think,

473
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.200
you know, for a guy like
Noahlafida, he's a smart quarterback and

474
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.119
if he is in the game,
he's not going to make those those risky

475
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:57.200
throws like Jaden normally makes. And
I think that he would be smart enough,

476
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.400
and we have seen him being able
to use the weapons around him,

477
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.960
like the running backs in the Titan. So at the end of the day,

478
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:08.799
who do you think is gonna win
the game? Oh boy? This

479
00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:15.599
is a tough one, man,
because when you look at Arizona and Pullman,

480
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:20.359
the last three trips, they've been
outscored I believe one hundred and eighty

481
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:25.400
two to fifty three. We're talking
about two sixty nine point games. I

482
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:30.519
mean, they have just not played
well in Pullman. But normally when they're

483
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:34.960
up there in Pullman, it's in
November, it's a late Friday night game,

484
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.359
it's rainy and cold. This is
is such a weird scenario. This

485
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:45.960
is four o'clock in October, and
I like the way Arizona defense has been

486
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:52.000
playing. I think that with this
three game stretch that Arizona is on right

487
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:59.160
now with the ranked opponents, I
think Washington State is definitely the worst between

488
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.880
three. Now you're on the road, you're playing in Pullman, which you

489
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:07.920
haven't had really had much success there. But uh, I'm going with Arizona's

490
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:13.840
defense to put up an impressive performance. I think Johnny Manson will have a

491
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:20.440
great game plan and Arizona defense will
create their first interception of the season,

492
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:24.400
they might get another takeaway, and
I'm going with Arizona defense to step up.

493
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:29.079
Hey, Teddy Bruski is in town, guys, so that's gotta be

494
00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.760
like, uh, like a lucky
rabbit's foot, that Arizona defense is going

495
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:36.039
to go off the Pullman and just
shut down the Cougars. So I'm gonna

496
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:42.400
go with Arizona thirty eight Washington State
thirty five. Wild Cat off the upside,

497
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.199
They didn't like, take off Teddy's
shoe and like rub his foot at

498
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.239
the at the Arizona Bowl lunch yesterday
or anything like that. Did they just

499
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:54.880
nothing like that? If they did, that's weird. But we just want

500
00:34:54.920 --> 00:35:00.119
to we just want to rub your
toe, Teddy. Well, I I

501
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:01.480
can't make up my mind whether or
not any think they're gonna win this game.

502
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:05.599
It's an it was an eight point
spread. So I don't know.

503
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:09.000
I have no feel for this game. You know. I put so much

504
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:13.519
into the int my thoughts on the
USC game and I hit it on the

505
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.239
nose. I've hit nothing else on
the nose, just football season. I

506
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:21.639
hit that one on the nose almost
to the point of getting the score right.

507
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:25.400
But I got nothing on this and
you know, going up to look,

508
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:30.719
I've I went up to Pullman and
Washington State at the time under Dennis

509
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:34.280
Erickson, where they were really,
really damn good, and Arizona won a

510
00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:39.360
game that completely unexpected. So but
then again, I watched those two sixty

511
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:43.320
nine point games, I think both. We were in Vegas for both of

512
00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:45.760
those, and it was awful to
watch, so bad memory. So I

513
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.320
don't know. I have no idea. Yeah, and I think that with

514
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.239
Jaden de Laura and the whole emotional
factor that's going to play into it,

515
00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:00.320
you know, I think I'm not
going to be feeling quite as good about

516
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:07.519
my prediction if Jaden Dolaura is in
fact playing, because we've seen him in

517
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:15.039
these type of situations. He plays
a ratic plays out of responsibility and throws

518
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:19.880
interceptions and it gets Arizona into a
hole. But we've also seen him and

519
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.119
this is where I give Jaden a
benefit of the doubt here, You've also

520
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:28.400
seen him play like he's one of
the best quarterbacks in the country, like

521
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:32.880
last year when Arizona went on the
road and be Eucla on the road and

522
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:38.320
even in close losses last year,
Jaden was a really good quarterback. So

523
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:42.360
I don't know what Jaden Dolaura we're
going to get. If he's one hundred

524
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:46.360
percent and he's playing, I think
if Noah Flafida is playing that I mean

525
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:52.320
that allows Jayden Dolaura to get another
week under his belt, rehab, go

526
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.159
into the bye week and really come
out feeling and strong if Arizona wants to

527
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:00.920
go with him. But if he
goes out and he plays, this could

528
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:06.079
be a game that determines who's gonna
be arizona starting quarterback moving forward. Yeah,

529
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:08.559
yeah, I agree, I agree? Okay, Justin, justin,

530
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:14.480
thanks much, man, appreciate it
as always, as always, got appreciated.

A football player Jake Fisher, one
of our great sponsors. Jake, how

613
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:06.320
are you so well? As always
that about you. We're doing fine.

614
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:08.000
Thank you. Always good to have
you on the show with your great insight.

615
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:14.920
Tell me what you see this weekend
with the cours. Well, to

616
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.920
be honest with you, I think
it's about what they're going to try to

617
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.440
do. I think that if we
lean on our offensive line, and if

618
00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.599
we Noah as the starting quarterback,
and if we could take some shots downfield,

619
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:28.159
I think we could control the clock. I think we did a pretty

620
00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:31.440
damn good job of that against USC
on the road last week. We actually

621
00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:36.280
had a fast start, which I
also think is important for the majority of

622
00:43:36.320 --> 00:43:38.079
the games this year. We got
off to a slow start and you know,

623
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:40.920
we punched the top ten team in
the mouth. They came back and

624
00:43:42.280 --> 00:43:45.519
you know we lost obviously in triple
overtime. But if we bring that kind

625
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:50.960
of mentality able to run the ball
in them sustained long drive, and if

626
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:53.840
our defense does play as well as
they did against probably the pie and winner

627
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:58.920
this year, then I think we'll
be fine. So Jake as a player,

628
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:02.719
so you know, you had these
two games top ten teams Washington and

629
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:07.719
USC. You know, get sky
high for those, and I get it,

630
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:10.159
Washington State is still ranked. They
lost last week, but they're still

631
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:15.079
ranked, but it's also still Washington
State. How do you avoid sort of

632
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:19.079
a come down from that? How
do you stay high enough to get in

633
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.679
there and be sure that you know, you don't have any kind of at

634
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:29.119
least an emotional letdown from you know, after the last two losses. Well,

635
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:30.840
I don't think there's going to be
an emotional letdown. I mean it's

636
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:35.760
not like this team that five and
one or six to Oho. So you

637
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.519
know, coach jet Fish is going
to continue to basically say, guys,

638
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:43.239
we haven't arrived yet. We still
have to beat these teams. We have

639
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.199
a good chance this here, but
if we don't show up and if we

640
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:47.920
don't play as well as we did
against that ste maybe a little bit better.

641
00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:51.639
You have a chance to lose to
anybody in this league. Back of

642
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:53.159
all, is as good as it's
been in the last five to ten years

643
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:57.239
of my opinion. You have probably
the top you know, three of the

644
00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:00.519
top four leading candidates to win the
Heisman are in the conference. You have

645
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:05.679
just a plethora of teams that are
in the top twenty five. Arizona's probably

646
00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:07.119
the best three and three team in
the entire country right now. I put

647
00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:09.440
my money on that, to be
honest with you, I mean, you've

648
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.000
got, you know, a litany
of folks that are going to be playing

649
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.199
at the next level on their roster. It's just putting it together. Now.

650
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:17.760
They haven't won yet, you know, it's last year. If they

651
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:20.920
were coming off a Bowl game,
then three and three, yeah, I'd

652
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:22.320
be a little bit down. But
it's one of those things where they have

653
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.280
to go out and prove it.
There should be no lead down And to

654
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:28.360
be honest, to be like,
if they come out like I think they

655
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:31.000
should, and I think that they're
new too, I think we're probably going

656
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:35.800
to win this by ten plus points. All right, Okay, so we

657
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:39.159
asked you off there. We asked
you off of hey I love it.

658
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:44.519
I love it. No, hey
you know I love it. So I

659
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:46.880
did ask offair how many times you
went to Washington State? You said a

660
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:52.719
couple of times. What do you
remember about those? Not just the game,

661
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:57.960
but the trip of going up to
Washington State? Man if Yogi Ross

662
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:00.679
said something on Twitter earlier. He
said, like, driving up there in

663
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:04.039
the morning is unbelievable. The only
times I've been there, it's been gray,

664
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:07.920
cloudy and cold. So I think
he's full of it. Just I

665
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:09.719
think he's just being nice to go
Washington State fans, to be honest with

666
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:15.159
it. No, it's weird,
like you literally have to stay across the

667
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:19.280
state line in Idaho. I completely
forget what the name of the city is.

668
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:23.199
There's no hotels close to Washington State
when I was going there, so

669
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.840
we would be in Idaho. Then
we would be probably on the road for

670
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.079
like thirty five or forty minutes.
It's kind of weird, like kind of

671
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:34.840
rolling hill. It's not like Seattle
at all, doesn't look anything like it.

672
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.360
The weather is, you know,
kind of similar. Uh, But

673
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:42.079
then pulling up the campus obviously in
some Washington so it's beautiful. And then

674
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:44.360
you know, the stadium was tiny. I mean, I know they did

675
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.119
a lot of work to it,
but the stadium was small, and their

676
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:50.119
team at that point wasn't all that
good. And then the last time we

677
00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:53.000
went up there, if I remember
correctly, it's a game that Nick Foles

678
00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:58.480
got someone jumped into his knee and
he dislocated his knee and then miraculously,

679
00:46:58.559 --> 00:47:00.800
like two weeks later, he came
back at full strength. It was just

680
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:05.840
a weird night. We were up
twenty eight zero, offense really wasn't clicking,

681
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:08.159
and next thing, you know,
non a clinic and I think we

682
00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:12.480
ended up winning twenty eighty seven.
But it was a weird game. And

683
00:47:12.519 --> 00:47:15.440
to be honest with you, you
know now that Washington's you know, stayed

684
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:17.800
to down kind of a level of
success over the last few years. It's

685
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:22.320
obviously different than I went up there. But when you go up there,

686
00:47:22.360 --> 00:47:24.199
you got to be able to run
the ball. I mean, these guys,

687
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:27.960
they got athletes, and they got
a lot of three and four year

688
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.400
guys that they developed because they're not
out recruiting a lot of these pack twelve

689
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:34.320
teams. So you got really good
coaching, you got guys that you know,

690
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:37.679
they bought into a system and we
got to hit them before they hit

691
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:40.360
us. So I think it was
cold, dark and gloomy because you guys

692
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:45.280
lost the last time I went up
there. We didn't. They beat us

693
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.400
the last time we played them,
But the last time I went up there,

694
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:53.079
we won. Okay, Yes,
Steve, Well, he's always he's

695
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:55.960
always looking for the bad stuff.
Joe, you don't know what to do

696
00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:00.320
about it. You guys are all
sunny and optimistic while I'm on the phone

697
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:04.440
with you. Yes, well,
thank you very much, thank you very

698
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:08.840
much. You know you mentioned,
oh here's well, got to ask you

699
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:13.280
that you mentioned in there that you
thought, you know, you hope a

700
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:17.840
fee to start. I mean the
whole quarterback thing is that is that unsettling

701
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:22.719
for a team, you know,
not knowing that kind of stuff. Well,

702
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.039
to be honest with you, both
of them have started, so the

703
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:30.000
team knows they can win with either
or I just think that when a kid

704
00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:36.280
comes in and against two top ten
teams basically shoots it out or outperforms both

705
00:48:36.320 --> 00:48:38.599
of those quarterbacks who we're going to
be in the NFL next year, you

706
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:43.039
know, eight touchdowns to two interceptions
over the last two games. One at

707
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:45.239
home obviously we got off to a
slow start, and then in a second

708
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:47.880
start, obviously he showed you what
you can do. He's young, so

709
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:51.639
he makes you know, a big
mistake every game. But I mean,

710
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:54.199
shoot, he's more level. It's
not going to be the three touchdown game

711
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:57.920
or the three interception games, right. I like that out of him,

712
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:00.360
at least he hasn't shown that yet. But you buy into both quarterbacks,

713
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:04.840
especially like because this is the thing, like from last year. Obviously,

714
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:07.519
you have a solid offensive line,
so solid running backs, solid receivers.

715
00:49:07.719 --> 00:49:10.119
If the guy can just get some
time to get the ball out, he's

716
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:14.800
fine. Offensive line takes care of
that. But now instead of having probably

717
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:19.320
the worst defense, like second to
third worst defense statistically, you actually have

718
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:22.000
a pretty damn good defense. I
mean they were getting after Caleb last weekend.

719
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.039
They did pretty well. You know, those young guys in the secondary

720
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:29.559
are playing damn well. So I
think with the other quarterback, you know

721
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:30.920
that you can keep it to a
one score game, and then what you

722
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:35.679
gotta do is make a playdown stretch. Okay, Jake, we had to

723
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:38.760
go along with Justin, but thanks
for calling in. Are you expecting mister

724
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:44.719
Sunshine is picking a win. I
expecting that we are going to win by

725
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:46.119
ten plus points. Okay, all
right, yeah, all right, give

726
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:51.719
us give us a little plug for
your business, Jake. Okay, Arizona

727
00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:53.280
Health. That was not expecting.
It's all you gotta do is you gotta

728
00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:58.960
go to Arizona healthoncenter dot com buy
health insurance from you know your favorite wildcout

730
00:50:01.719 --> 00:50:05.800
zero cope. It's going to be
about half of what you're paying right now.

731
00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:08.199
Small businesses, families, individuals,
if you're healthy, you can get

00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:15.800

selection in Arizona is not very good.

734
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:19.440
There is literally one plan that is
like a pre Affordable Care Act plan that

735
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:22.599
you will absolutely love. So give
us a call. Five to zero eight

736

737
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.599
eight sixty six bear down, Jake, appreciate that your weekend. All right,

738
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:34.400
I have a go one. Yeah. I was good to talk to

739
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:37.599
Jake. He gives like we get
really good insight. From him. I

740
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:40.920
love picking his brain as a guy
who played. It's one side. It

741
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:46.079
is, like, what's it like? I just because I hated traveling diployment.

742
00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:51.000
I had to go a couple of
times, but I know I hated

743
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:55.639
that. I dreaded the trip.
Getting the right leaving was just as bad

744
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:59.920
because it was stolen. And but
uh, you know, but I love

745
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:02.000
hearing just you know, the kinds
of things that you know go through their

746
00:51:02.039 --> 00:51:06.760
brains and they're getting ready for games
like this because Paul, Washington State has

747
00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:07.800
been good over the years. I
mean I went to the Rose Bowl.

748
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:12.840
Right, you still think about think
of them as Washington State and not.

749
00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:15.280
They're not USC they're not U.
C. L A. They're not Washington,

750
00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:19.920
they're not Oregon. You just got
to like eah, right, and

751
00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:22.440
you know, going to Pullman and
he's right, you're stay in Moscow,

752
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.519
Idaho. So that's not it's just
it's not great. It's not far.

753
00:51:27.239 --> 00:51:30.119
All right, We're gonna take our
break, We're gonna be back. We'll
