5
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.519
in just a second. But he's
year now that we're in studio, not

6
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:32.039
on the road. It is okay, here we go. I'm trying to

7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:37.399
do well, maybe not due This
is EYE on the Ball breaking news on

8
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.640
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Iman.
By surprise, I forgot we had a

9
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:44.960
show going on right now. All
right, all right, here we go.

10
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:50.200
Well, Arizona's win over Oregon State
on Saturday night has really ramped up

11
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.000
Arizona being in all the Bull projections. So we're seeing them. You know,

12
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:57.880
before it was kind of like they
might get to the LA Ball or

13
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:02.880
whatever they might get in the Independence. Now you're seeing projections from the l

14
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.640
A Bowl, the Sun Bowl,
and I saw one from Action Network.

15
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.799
It's got him in the Las Vegas
against guess who, A horrible team.

16
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.799
I guess Iowa. That's right.
Yeah, So anyways, but you know,

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.879
I know all around me, you
know, my friends and family or

18
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.599
whatever. Which bull game are we
going to? I'm like, we're not

19
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.560
gonna know until we show, but
you know they need to win one more

20
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.000
game at least, and and uh, you know that's starting to look,

21
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.920
you know, very good. You
know you you got I got people tell

22
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.280
we're going nine and three and I'm
like, calm down, who are you

23
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.200
hanging out with? Pump the breaks
the same people I have been hanging out

24
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:45.879
with all along. I've just had
to pump the breaks tell you so.

25
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:52.319
Anyways, but uh yeah, Brett
McMurphy Action Network, the Las Vegas Bowl

26
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.239
which which is which incidentally is the
same day that Arizona plays. That face

27
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.359
talked about this us you know,
crack media people because the game the basketball

28
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.879
games like at noon, and then
the game the football games like at four.

29
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.639
So guess what you're running from the
basketball game to the football game.

30
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.360
You probably won't be able to write
the basketball game until you get to the

31
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.280
football game, right, So it's
it's not gonna be and you've gotta be

32
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.560
traffic, come on, and literally
you would be running because the arenas are

33
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.479
it's going to be faster to run
than to get an uber or anything else

34
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:30.400
from from T Mobile to to the
Raiders statement. Yea. Anyways, speaking

35
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:38.560
of Iowa as a potential opponent,
remember this, theyte they wrote the Brian

36
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:44.039
Ferrins's contract, the son of the
head coach Kirk Farrence, that they had

37
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.159
to score twenty five points a game. But he's not going to hit that.

38
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.199
No, they said that, they've
already told him he's gone at the

39
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.719
end of the year. They're winning
games, but they can't score. But

40
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.960
you see on the line this week
Northwestern twenty nine points over under twenty nine

41
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.520
against Northwest, and I think money
is on the on the under on that

42
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:09.520
one full time lowest in whatever it
is in history. Here you buried,

43
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.520
you buried the lead son. Why
who's going to Oregon? What do you

44
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.719
mean? Who's going to Oregon?
So the South Point kid? Oh,

45
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.159
I wasn't even gonna talk about it. That's news, man, it is

46
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.000
news. That's my bad. I
didn't I hadn't gotten that. Did you

47
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.680
have it on the list? Not
yet? I was still going through it.

48
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.800
Okay, you know I ran out
of time that you lead. No,

49
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.800
that's right. Uh. Elijah Rushing
committed to Oregon today. Not a

50
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.360
shocker. Maybe it wasn't. Maybe
part of it is, you know,

51
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.879
we kind of all knew that that's
where he was going to go, but

52
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.879
he did commit today, what do
you know, payback I guess for Arizona

53
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.120
getting you know, tam Act,
which I'm happy with the trade. Yeah,

54
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.719
yeah, you don't know. This
guy's pretty good, right, yeah.

55
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.919
Yeah. It's funny though you start, you know, the guy decommitted

56
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:02.639
from Arizona. Now you start hearing
from people, well, he probably wasn't

57
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.560
gonna be that good. Those are
just the painters. Did him have a

58
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.719
good year? Who you know?
Obviously it doesn't hurt anybody, but whoever,

59
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.560
I hope he does well. And
in the end, you still want

60
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.120
to do some kids to do well, right, right, It's like some

61
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:18.680
of these guys, because if they
do well, you get more kids playing,

62
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.519
get more coaches after them, and
more opportunity and all this j to

63
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.879
you. And it's part of my
point is, Okay, you have your

64
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.079
kid, my kid whatever, being
recruited by somebody else, and in Arizona,

65
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.360
I love my son to play here. But if some other teams calling

66
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.480
calling, and they're pretty good,
they're going good, look man, exactly,

67
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.759
look good. On him again.
I hope, I hope it works

68
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:44.920
out well for him. I hope
what works out for Kem and will Hike

69
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.319
going to Washington. Yeah, you
know it's tough for competition over there.

70
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.360
Sure. Let me ask you this
though. Okay, this is all speculation,

71
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.480
nothing, just speculation because we've seen
it happen before from other kids.

72
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:59.519
They leave, doesn't work out,
so they want to come back, come

73
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.879
back. You think you would be
well received? No, I don't think

74
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.600
Elija Russian will be received very well
with the way the things that were said

75
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.920
and the way he went. I
think or either there's gonna have to be

76
00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.519
some major Jesus about that. Yeah, because but you know what I'm saying,

77
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.560
Bridges, I don't know, you
know that totally get it, but

78
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.879
I'm not saying that's gonna happen.
But you know, apothetically, if something

79
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.399
like that were to happen, he
says, you know what, Okay,

80
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.759
it's not my fit and I'm coming
back. Yeah, we see it.

81
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.319
It happens. You can't burn Bridge. Yeah. I don't know whether they

82
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.600
did or didn't, but there's a
lot of people that think they did and

83
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.600
in the way that well the key
people would be the coaching staff right exactly,

84
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.759
and none about you or right and
who knows what they thought about what

85
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:48.480
was said there? All right up
the up the road in Phoenix, Cardinals

86
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:54.519
head coach Jonathan Gannon said that Josh
Dobbs is no longer the starting quarterback horrible

87
00:05:54.519 --> 00:06:02.600
lot yesterday either either Clayton to who's
the next currently the backup or if Kyler

88
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.839
Murray is ready and they're trying to
get him ready, Kyler Murray could potentially

89
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:14.399
start on Sunday this week they play
the Browns, so on the road,

90
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.439
I think probably on the road.
Probably on the road. So but it's

91
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:24.199
it, but it will not be
Josh Dobbs. So there's that something I

92
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.120
meant to bring up Friday, Anthony
Jimino pointed out in a a in a

93
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.079
tweet, and he probably wrote about
I don't know, but with with andre

94
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:39.000
Iguodala retiring, that was the last
of Loudelson's players in the league. They're

95
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.000
all gone. And Anthony got I
don't know where he got the stat if

96
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.720
he compiled it himself, for he'll
tell you what. I'll tell you where,

97
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.639
but go ahead and tell you Sam
first well that Arizona Loop players from

98
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.600
Ludelson's program in the NBA, played
in fourteen thousand, three hundred and two

99
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:59.240
games, scored one hundred and forty
six thousand, nine and sixty eight points,

100
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:04.360
and that one point one five six
billion dollars. So everyone knows that

101
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.560
he and I did the book one
hundred things blah blah blah. So he

102
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.439
had that was his chapter. He
did that chapter. That's when he kind

103
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.720
of started compiling. Oh god,
if he had another story updated. Yeah,

104
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.439
he just updated it. And this
is ten years ago. So uh

105
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.759
they were I think they're over a
billion then and then now since then,

106
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:25.000
I mean that's a long time.
That's a lot of money. One billion,

107
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.519
one and sixty fifty six million dollars. Yeah. Who would you say

108
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.439
of the of the list had the
best NBA career? He had twenty years?

109
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:42.319
Yeah, JT had eighteen nineteen.
You might have to argue Jason Terry.

110
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.399
He got an NBA championship. Yeah, so did Andre Andre. Yeah.

111
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.680
But yeah, yeah, dude,
let me take you know who I

112
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.959
would be for a week if they
gave me a chance of all those dudes,

113
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.160
and I love all all tho Judes, Steve Kirk, give you give

114
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.560
you a life for a week exactly. Yeah, you could take all those

115
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.639
other dudes. Yeah, how much
fun did he have? Come on,

116
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.879
how much fun did he have for
a guy who didn't look like he had

117
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.720
any kind of a basketball future.
You know when he came here and he's

118
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.360
still going and he's still going.
Yeah yeah, no, absolutely, of

119
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.120
all those guys, of all those
guys, yeah yeah yeah. So anyway,

120
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.040
so there's that. What else'll take
a day? Don't give me a

121
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.680
week, give me a day.
So apparently this just came up. Apparently

122
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:35.960
there was a report Sunday night that
the Michigan Board of Regents h has rescinded

123
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.039
the contract extension that had been offered
to Jim Harbaugh. He's denying that this

124
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:46.519
afternoon. He's saying that's not accurate. But you know, look, any

125
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:52.360
board of regents is going to be
tentative or whatever. Yeah, it's gonna

126
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.960
probably say let's not let's wait until
that this thing gets figured you think keeps

127
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:58.679
getting worse. Did you also see
that if he does decide to leave,

128
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.279
he goes to the NFL, that
they're gonna suspend him. They're gonna do

129
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.759
something if something comes out at the
next level too, because that there was

130
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:13.639
that egregious or whatever. Wow wow
wow wow wow. So all right,

131
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.000
Oh, here's an interesting thing.
Maybe you go you go throw a bet

132
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.720
down on this before the before the
baseball games today is what they're calling sports

133
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.919
equinox, the thirtieth one in history
where there's NFL, Major League Baseball,

134
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.639
n b A, NHL, and
Major League soccer all on what would have

135
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.440
to be the better each one game
in each thing. Just bet something in

136
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.519
each league that would have five teen
parlay, but with some bet in each

137
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.360
league. No, I don't I
need to pay for burrito tonight. That's

138
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.320
a game, that's right. Hey, we haven't even brought that up.

New Mexico. Uh for good neighbor of

142
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.480
minds, and one of the assistant
coaches in that team. They come from

143
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.080
the small school just outside of Santa
Fe, about sixty miles from Santa Fe.

144
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:15.279
Uh, small an ai a school, and I guess it's the small

145
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.720
small town. It's the it's from
the school from where you're indoor in your

146
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.840
court backs. Yeah, because now

his name, So just kind of
one of those it's just get get get

148
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.279
ready kind of game. Did you

150
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.399
Henry Vassar elbow. According to Sard
his elbow out. The entire non

151
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.159
conference could be up for a while. Yeah, so that's what you did,

152
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.799
was kind of or maybe just yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's

153
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:50.200
fun. You goose your depth at
the center spot. Although they have five

154
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.519
thousand others seven footers. Think guys
Brian Anderson, who who actually started for

155
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.440
the last game of Basar and uh
and bow out. Yeah, and then

156
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.840
of this, the actual season opener
is next Monday, a week from today.

157
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.759
They got Morgan, stayed in town
at a seven thirty game, and

158
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.000
then right after that, man they
hit out for Duke on a Friday,

159
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.000
November tenth, which we should remind
our listen, we will not be on

160
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.000
the air on November tenth. If
you're going to be a Duke, I'm

161
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.879
going to be in Vegas, so
there will be no show. A week

162
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.919
from Friday. We'll remind you of
that as we got that Duke game.

163
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.639
That's gonna beat to get. I'm
sure I have some more stuff. Did

164
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:30.159
you see the hit from Sanders to
Yeah, there was I didn't either.

165
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.519
He hit him with the show exactly. I mean, okay, so his

166
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.799
head snapped and because of that hit
in the head, I see it.

167
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.759
What the hell with his dad made
those tackles kind of like, you know,

168
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.759
I don't want to hurt you,
but yeah, you know, I

169
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.440
thought that was a strange call.
It looked like he was clearly trying to

170
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.720
avoid the targeting just because because of
the collision. The guy's head hit the

171
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.480
shoulder, but he didn't hit his
head with his shoulder right, he hit

172
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.679
He hit him sideways and then his
head his head kind of made contact with

173
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.399
the show. I wanted to bring
that up because I said, that's strange.

174
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.039
Yeah, that's strange. A lot
of people agreed. I said,

175
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.679
I didn't see that. What did
I miss? You didn't leave with the

176
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.879
crown. Wow. There was also
a questionable roughing the passing there, oh

177
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:15.200
very much, so very much so
I thought that was not not a I

178
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.080
think it was either. Yeah,
you can't do who do we have on

179
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.799
last week that I joked about touching
a quarterback, you know, just kind

180
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.759
of breathing on them. They had
to be somebody memory. You just can't

181
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.000
do that anymore where you just kind
of just touch a guy in Yeah,

182
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.279
yeah, Tim Ketch, would you
love to be playing now? We were

183
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.639
still wondering how we got that.
I did get Tim Couch. We know

184
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.080
people, we know people, we
know people, but it's just weird,

185
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.159
not weird. I didn't I didn't
play quarterback football, but it's just changed.

186
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.440
And I didn't think that it was
a no. I didn't think it

187
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.600
was either. And so anyways,
this is not breaking news, but it's

188
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.919
it's just a stat. Brett McMurphy, who again follows everybody right, Yeah,

189
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.399
he posted today when Jed Fish arrived
in there. The Waldcats had lost

190
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.000
their last twelve games in fishes past
two seasons, Arizona's ten and ten,

191
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.240
including three upsets of top twenty five
ranked teams at five and three. This

192
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.519
year, the Walcats losses robby seven
points or less, two of them versus

193
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.080
top ten ranked teams. Jed mentioned
that they're seven and four in their last

194
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.799
eleven games, so he's gonna keep
moving that up right the games until they're

195
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.159
like, okay, we're We're eleven
and one in our last twelve games.

196
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.480
Stats matter, baby, especially yes, such a stat guy. It cracks

197
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.480
me up. Stat I was when
you were talking about Brett earlier. I

198
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.639
was gonna bring that tweet up because
it's funny how the national people come in

199
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.080
kind of snut streak in. But
we've been saying this for a long time

200
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.600
and then the national guy comes and
says, oh look, okay, okay,

201
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.600
we got a minute, and I
got to bring this up. I'm

202
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.960
bringing this up because I've been so
bad on the picks, but I'm bringing

203
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.879
this up. So don't kiss.
Don't kiss at Stanford Steve. Okay,

204
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.879

205
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.000
paid to study stuff. You took
his heap, No, No, I

206
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.519
used to don't. I don't listen
to point is a good thing. He

207
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.759
posted his record this year going into
Saturday against the spread twelve twenty two and

208
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.720
two, meaning in our league he'd
be twelve wins twenty four losses. I

209
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.840
was only twelve and twenty eight when
in last week, so I'm only a

210
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.720
hairsh worse than Stanford Steeve. So
this could happen to anybody, even the

211

This is me? Thank you.
A hard time finding you. You're like

299
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.720
an elusive running back you can't.
It's still got the moves, Lamont.

300
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.440
They got the move iPhone, iPhone
always Silence is my call. I don't

301
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.200
know why you're doing it, what
it is, it's silence, eye on

302
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.799
the ball. That is what he
did. So there you go. You

303
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.839
you you block right? Yeah,
you get a good blocker. Hey up,

304
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.599
So as you'r as you're doing your
job on Saturday nights watching this team.

305
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.519
Uh, you have to be impressed
with so many things. What impresses

306
00:20:52.559 --> 00:21:00.920
you the most? I would say
the consistency in the high level that they're

307
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:06.839
playing with right now, because you
know it when it first at the beginning

308
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:07.720
of the year, they were a
little bit up and down. They did

309
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.519
a lot of good things, but
they weren't putting it all together. It

310
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.559
was either too many turnovers or too
many mistakes to any penalties. But now,

311
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.599
what impressed me the most about this
last game is that they were able

312
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.839
to play at a high level,
not make a ton of mistakes, and

313
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.480
in a very tough game where there
was a lot of opportunities for them to

314
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.200
break, they didn't break. They
just continue to continue to fight. And

315
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:33.759
that's what's been impressive to me.
Yeah, you know, lamon le because

316
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.039
you know, we saw the Washington
State game where they just went out and

317
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:41.240
blasted them and they were never really
under any stress. Uh you know a

318
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.720
week ago or two weeks ago.
I mean, yeah, Washington State went

319
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.640
down and scored first, but then
There's one quickly took control of the game

320
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.480
and by halftime, I'm not gonna
say the game was over, but they

321
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.839
were comfortable, so they weren't under
stressed. This game was stressful from start

322
00:21:53.880 --> 00:22:00.839
to finish. And and to your
point that they just don't seem to waiver

323
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.319
or they don't seem to lose focus
or whatever, any one of those things

324
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:08.359
that you say can happen when you're
in a game like that. Yeah.

325
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:11.079
Yeah, And that's that's going to
serve them well. You know, it's

326
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.359
going to serve them well, because
they're gonna play some more tough games.

327
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.319
They're gonna play a really tough,
resilient, well coached Utah team, I

328
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.240
think, and then they're going to
play a tough UCLA team. And I

329
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.759
think everybody else on our schedule has
their flaws, you know, but they're

330
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.559
all still very well coached teams.
And you know, we all know in

331
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.759
this conference on any given Saturday,
you can get knocked off. So it

332
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.079
comes down to learning how to play
at a high level consistently. And I

333
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:41.000
feel like even I feel like everyone's
raised their level. I feel like the

334
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.599
coaching staff has raised their level of
coaching. I feel like the players have,

335
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.039
you know, learned how to be
more locked in on what they're doing

336
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.920
and so and obviously the quarterback position
has created has been pretty solid. So

337
00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.279
it's been it's been fun to watch. Well, you mentioned that you talk

338
00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.720
about being calm and composed. I
think it starts there, you know,

339
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.960
before with with Jayden, as good
as he is, you kind of he

340
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.240
played with his hair on fire.
Noah doesn't doesn't do that. He just

341
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:12.400
kind of does his job. Nothing
fancy, just uh And jedis talked about,

342
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:15.200
you know, being a game manager. Well he's been exactly that.

343
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.240
Yeah. To me, I feel
like the difference is, if I'm comparing

344
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.680
the two, I feel like Noah
plays within the confines of the offensive system,

345
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.880
meaning he hits the ball out on
time, he's you know, he's

346
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.000
never you don't see a whole lot
of improvise, and he kind of plays

347
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:38.000
like right within the confines of the
system. Very calm, He doesn't make

348
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.319
a lot of mistakes. You can
see he's making the right adjustments, getting

349
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:45.799
him into the right places doing all
that stuff. While Jaden has all the

350
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.920
knowledge and gets him into the right
place and things like that. I think

351
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.759
he tends to be a little bit
more. Sometimes he goes kind of out

352
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.799
of bounce and back in bounds.
And if we're talking about the confines of

353
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:57.519
the system, and he likes to
improvise a little bit, he likes to

354
00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:03.680
run around and maybe search out the
big play sometimes, And I think that

355
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.680
that's probably, you know, if
I'm looking at a difference between the two,

356
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.160
I think Jane likes to search for
the big play and and I feel

357
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:12.319
like Noah kind of just maybe let's
that come to them a little bit more.

358
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:17.799
And and Jamie's accustomed, you know, making a dramatic throwdown feeling and

359
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.279
making the bomb. So that's his
strength, so we tend to look for

360
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.200
that. In my opinion, that's
how I see it as a as a

361
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:30.279
college running back. I'm guessing you
have a better look or a better sense

362
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.119
of what's going on with this line
that Arizona's guy and I, you know,

363
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:37.839
go to that last drive that they
had where they hadn't run the ball

364
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.160
well all night long. They up
to that last drive, they had like

365
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:45.200
twenty eight yards or forty yards rushing
and then they just said, Okay,

366
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.319
we're going to run the ball and
we're gonna run down your throats and you

367
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.839
can't stop us. And they didn't. What what do you see? You

368
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.759
know, as a running back,
it's like it's in front of you.

369
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:59.160
Yeah, they're well, they they
have a powerful line and they've got some

370
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.640
you know, they got a lot
of experience on the line, and then

371
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.359
on the on the the outside,
they got two bookend tackles that can pretty

372
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.000
much hold their own against any any
challenge, and that that changes everything when

373
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.200
he got two guys that can pretty
much, you know, stand up against

374
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.920
the other team's best players because usually
on defense, you know, you're going

375
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.599
to try to get your best athletes
on the outside. And we've got two

376
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:29.400
guys you know, and Jonas Avnaya
and and uh Morgan that you know,

377
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.359
they can lock up teams on the
outside and it usually gives you know,

378
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.359
our quarterback. So from some time
back there and that's different from how it

379
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.640
was last year and that it was
very up and down last year and when

380
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.160
jayde and I think you read one
of the reasons he probably runs around so

381
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.480
much as he was used to it. Last year's were he used to running

382
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.759
for his life a lot, and
this year you can actually kind of stand

383
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.319
back there in the pocket a little
bit. Now those challenges are going to

384
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.599
start to go up a little more
exponentially in the next couple of weeks because

385
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.279
they're going to face two of the
best defenses. Well just like they did

386
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:00.279
this this last one. But still, it's nice to have a line that

387
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.480
you feel like, you know you
can. You know they can hold their

388
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:07.920
own no matter what, even if
they're facing excellent players. You know these

389
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.960
guys can hold their own. So
there's no right or wrong answer to this.

390
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.839
Earlier in the show, I said
that if I were to pick an

391
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:19.359
MVP to this point, I would
pick Coleman, Jodah Coleman. He has

392
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.599
been a workhorse. He's been unstoppable. In fact, when I saw him

393
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.640
against Washington State on TV and under
God, this guy is just good,

394
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.839
just good, dependable. You want
some yards, give it to him.

395
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:36.599
I'm not sure if I have the
right answer, but you must love him,

396
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.920
and just your thoughts on him.
I do love him. He's awesome.

397
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.960
I mean, anytime you can't get
a guy that is that powerful,

398
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.759
that's that versatile. He can catch
the ball out of the backfield, he

399
00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:53.759
can run you over, I can
run around you. And he run.

400
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.799
He runs with such a physical style
that people tackle him differently. They don't,

401
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:02.240
they don't just try to square him
up. You notice guys are almost

402
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:04.359
jumping at his ankles and at his
shoe streaks because they don't want to get

403
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.640
ran over by him. And that
causes a lot of people to miss him

404
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.720
because they see him coming downhill at
him and they start thinking, Okay,

405
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:14.920
I got to make a business decision
here, I gotta try to square up

406
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.480
on this guy. I'm going to
try to hopefully trip him, and it

407
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:21.759
usually they try to trip him and
he just steps right over and goes around

408
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:23.400
him. So, yeah, he's
a problem. He's really good, and

409
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:27.039
he's got great vision. He's just
he's really complete as a running back.

410
00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:30.279
Yeah. I mean, if I'm
in my car and he's coming at me,

411
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.039
you know, I'm getting I'm still
getting the hell out of the way.

412
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:40.599
He's like and I know, well, you know, we we talked

413
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.400
abou Kadem Carrey, you know,
and that Kadem was a guy that just

414
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.920
played played hard, would run you
over. As we said, you know

415
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:51.119
when he when he hit you,
he fell forward. Uh no matter which

416
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.319
way, which direction you came from, and you start. You see that

417
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:59.319
with Jonah Clemban, now with DJ
Williams, both of them do that DJ

418
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:02.599
is a monster or him in his
own right? I mean I saw DJ

419
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:06.000
run over two plays in a row. They handed in the ball to gut.

420
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.799
The first play, he ran over
that Mascarinus Arnold, their starting linebacker.

421
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:11.559
He ran him smack. Oh,
he went head on into him and

422
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.759
ran him over. I was like, oh my god. And then they

423
00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:17.799
ran the next play. And then
this next play, Mascarinis went at his

424
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.000
ankles and he still ran him over
again. Else. So let me let

425
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:22.480
me ask both of you guys,
because I thought this was funny but true

426
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.640
to me. So did you listen
to the tweet on the cheering in the

427
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:33.319
locker room when Jed said, you
know, Flow, he scares the crap

428
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:44.319
out of him. He's got he's
got a little bit of energy he was.

429
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:45.440
It was just like, Yeah,
this is the dude that's gonna come

430
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:49.160
after you with the linebacker spot.
Yeah, you gotta have guys like that.

431
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.440
I mean he played well too.
He playing well, but but you

432
00:28:52.480 --> 00:28:56.960
gotta have guys like that who hey
bring the energy, but not not just

433
00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.440
energy, but they back it up
and you know, make plays and those

434
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:00.759
kinds of things. Saw. You
know, we've been seeing a lot more

435
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.119
of of of justin flow over the
last several weeks. And you know,

436
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.359
and then and then you and then
on who are we not talking about Jacob

437
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.319
Monu, who's like, yeah,
you know, he's been of the whole

438
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.200
thing's been steady, dude. Yeah. Oh and he's still playing at a

439
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.839
super high level. It's just you
know, he doesn't get all the hoop

440
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.119
lit. But there's been so many
plays where you see I saw him like

441
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:23.880
run over alignment the other night,
and I was like, oh, only

442
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:29.200
he's you know, he's not big, but he's still he has a huge

443
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.599
impact man, and he he creates
a lot of problems. And and if

444
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:36.720
alignman like the head is not on
a school Jacob hit him right under his

445
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:40.079
chin and and knock him down.
So he's tough, man, I mean,

446
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:41.559
he's tough. Yeah. We're talking
to Lamont love It, the color

447
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.440
guy for a Wildcats Sports twelve nineties
on you know, on the on the

448
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:51.079
radio for with Brian Jefferis for Arizona
games and a Lamont. When you look

449
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:55.039
at the overall team, what what
we're seeing? Okay, we're seeing a

450
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.799
team that's got, you know,
a pretty good offense. They haven't been

451
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.240
you know, like you know,
they're not piling up yards and stats like

452
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:07.000
they did last year, but still
effective efficient with no offa feta running the

453
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.359
show. A defense that's kind of
catching up or has caught up, you

454
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.559
might say, to the offense.
And then Jed talked a lot about the

455
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:18.200
special teams. I mean, these
complete teams for Arizona don't come along very

456
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.480
often. I think of Rich Rod's
twenty fourteen team, right won the league,

457
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.920
but that league, that team was
about the offense. I mean,

458
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:30.039
what is that? I mean?
I Am I wrong to say that that's

459
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.200
kind of what we're seeing with this
team. Oh no, that's a very

460
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:40.319
accurate assessment. The thing that's different
about this team is there's not a glaring

461
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.599
hole. I'm not saying that we're
just complete from top to bottom, but

462
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.160
there's tell me one place where there's
a glaring hole on the team, because

463
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.039
I can't really think of one.
I think on the defensive line, I

464
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:55.279
think they're big, physical, they're
pretty solid. They got guys that can

465
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:57.079
stop the run. They got guys
that can get to the quarterback. I

466
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:02.279
think in the secondary, you got
these six four corners that they can hold

467
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.759
their own Amanda man coverage or zone
coverage. I mean, we've got some

468
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:08.559
big safeties. Our line, our
linebackers are coming downhill. Let you on

469
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:12.759
the offensive side, our offensive line
is I mean they're physical. Anybody that's

470
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.960
played us since you understands that they're
gonna get punched in the mouth when they

471
00:31:15.960 --> 00:31:19.400
face this off into the line.
And I mean we'll just look at the

472
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:23.920
running backs. We got three awesome
running back, four awesome running backs.

473
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:30.920
We got two all We've got all
conference level wide receivers team AC and counting.

474
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.279
I mean, we've got we've got
an all conference level tight end.

475
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:36.799
And our quarterbacks are playing at a
high level. I mean there's just not

476
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.039
then we got one of the best
kickers in our conference too. We play

477
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:41.559
it. We're playing great on special
teams. I think there's a really,

478
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:47.119
really complete team, and I think
that we needed that to be able to

479
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:48.599
go win that game on Saturday.
I think if we were in any of

480
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.519
those areas, if we weren't,
you know, stronger, it would have

481
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.279
got exploited. Because Oregon State is
a very complete team, and it's just

482
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.440
it's it's neat to watch these guys
watch this thing kind of come together.

483
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.160
You know at the time that it
is because they've improved over the course of

484
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:04.960
this season. I don't know if
you want to go here, but I

485
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.440
want to put you on the spot
like I put myself on the spot.

486
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:14.599
So to this point, who is
your m v P. That's a good

487
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:20.680
question. Uh, that's a that's
a good question, you know. I

488
00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:29.480
think Jacob Monu has been the steady
ass can be I do like on offense,

489
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:31.880
I definitely like Jonah Coleman. Joonah
Coleman has been an absolute said but

490
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:36.920
shoot Mia Whiley is a monster too, man. I mean he showed us

491
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:40.039
last week that, you know what, I'm still here too. I don't

492
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:43.440
know. That's it's hard to say. I think we've got a lot of

493
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:46.319
elements in the team. Probably I'll
probably say Jacob Mono is so is the

494
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:50.720
most to me. I think he's
so consistent that I would probably say him.

495
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.920
Yeah, there's no right or wrong
because everyone's playing so well, right,

496
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:57.279
you know, heck uh and and
Wiley who was out for a little

497
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.160
while, and Coleman fit in.
Uh, obviously Jayden was out. Now

498
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:04.720
Fafito fits in. I mean,
come on, Michael Wiley falls out of

499
00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:08.079
bed and comes and scores a couple
of touchdowns, you know, you know,

500
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:14.200
winning touchdowns. And the funny thing
is those two touchdowns that Mike scored.

501
00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:15.839
I don't know if any of the
other guys would have been able to

502
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:22.920
do that because it just the way
he caught the ball and stride and the

503
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:24.839
way he accelerated. I'm not saying
there's no guy's fashion in him, but

504
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.680
he's such a good wide receiver out
of the backfield. And only people realized

505
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:32.759
the last touchdown he caught. He
had to make a great catch to make

506
00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:37.400
that last touchdown because it was wide
open. But Noah threw a laser and

507
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:40.519
it was kind of out in front
of him and he really like outstretched his

508
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:44.480
hands to catch it right before he
went out of balance and got his feet

509
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:45.720
in. It was a great catch
that he made, and I was just

510
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.759
thinking, go, Olleen, man, this guy's he's like the quality of

511
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.799
a wide receiver. He's got those
that type of hands and rout running ability,

512
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:57.720
so he's a he provides a whole
another, you know, whole other

513
00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:00.880
issue for defenses. I'm so I'm
sure we got in here. We got

514
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.480
to see goodbye. But I'm sure
you and Brian are both enjoining the season.

515
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:06.839
After a few years of nothing,
we've seen a lot of wins.

516
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.880
You must be having a lot of
fun. Hey, there's people listening.

517
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:15.039
Man. Of course, I'm having
a lot of fun. We're getting w's

518
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.159
and then we're doing it, you
know, winning it in this fashion,

519
00:34:17.199 --> 00:34:21.400
and we're upsetting top twenty five teams, and you know, I'm having a

520
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:23.440
ball. So yeah, it's it's
great. And I think Brian Will would

521
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:28.559
say just as much. It's been
fun as far, and I'm just looking

522
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:30.599
forward to the rest of the rest
of the season. Hopefully we can knock

523
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:32.360
a few more people off. All
right, man, Okay, well,

524
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.599

through the eyes of twenty five former
players, coaches, and friends to give

538
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:28.400
insight to the coach and the man
who led them, competed against them,

539
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:31.639
and inspired them. Twenty five chapters
for his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved

540
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:36.599

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.880
see a lot of photos and stuff
coming in on Twitter from from Chase Field.

593
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:28.639
So let me ask you this.
Yeah, you've been here, you

594
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:32.400
actually you were close to the Diamondbacks
back in the day. How many Diamondback

595
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:38.320
fans do you know? Do I
know? Do you know like fans fans

596
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:45.159
like the Ideah? Yeah, I
have a number of like three. I

597
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:49.159
was gonna say if if you had
more than five, I'd say really three

598
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.599
and two of them are related?
Okay, okay, well are you are

599
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:55.159
you? Are you saying any fans
at all? No? Or like in

600
00:39:55.239 --> 00:40:00.599
twos who actually cared might but in
Tucson people into people who actually cared about

601
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:08.280
this team. In me night right, three to my two sisters and and

602
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:12.599
and one more so that'll tell you. Yeah, we have a collar.

603
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:15.199
Hi you're on the ar and I
on the ball. Yeah, this is

604
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.039
Alan Phoenix. Howre you all doing
pretty good? Al? How are you

605
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:25.719
all right? How much does the
Russian commitment to Oregon dampen your spirits about

606
00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:30.840
the win against Oregon State? Zero? Yeah? Nothing? Well, first

607
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:36.000
of all, he was gone a
month ago, and you know what a

608
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:39.360
guy, A guy leaving never never
damp ins my spirits in terms of what

609
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:42.920
they're doing, because if a guy
doesn't want to be here, I'd rather

610
00:40:43.000 --> 00:40:45.360
he not be here. And I
don't keep a crap about recruiting anyway.

611
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:52.119
And they say that because you've seen
guys who have this big lofty uh stars

612
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:53.360
or whatever you call them, and
then they turn out to be nothing.

613
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:57.280
And I'm not saying that's the case
here, but there's a lot of speculation.

614
00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:00.440
Plus al it goes both ways,
right, Arizona's gotten some guys like

615
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:01.960
that, they've lost some guys like
that, and that's just that's just the

616
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:05.840
nature of the game. If you
get if you didn't get yourself worked up

617
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:08.880
uh and feeling bad because an eighteen
year old kid changed his mind about nothing

618
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:13.239
that he's doing, you know what, you gotta fire, You gotta figure

619
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.039
your life out. Yeah, I
felt obliged to asked the question. I

620
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:20.239
got one other thing for you.
I don't think U of A is gonna

621
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.440
miss in basketball. They're not gonna
miss Creaser or Tabella's at all. That

622
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:28.320
was a edition by subtraction. I'll
make that statement now. Yeah, okay,

623
00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:32.480
well I believes Okay, the dude
is good, Yeah, good college

624
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:36.400
player. Yeah, but when you
when you look at the guys that they

625
00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.760
brought in to replace those guys,
Yeah, yeah, you look at the

626
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:44.440
guys, Yeah, sure, I
hear you. But could score, Yeah,

627
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.000
I hear you. He was terrible
in big games. He was a

628
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:54.719
zero. Yeah, I know.
Rub it in a little bit. Thanks,

629
00:41:54.760 --> 00:42:00.599
guys, appreciate it. Thanks for
the call. Now, something very

630
00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:05.159
salty Monday. Very but we're still
going to use this as often as we

631
00:42:05.199 --> 00:42:13.400
can. Yeah, what's you taling
about Princeton? Like he's gonna be playing

632
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:16.760
overseas again? You know he's he
didn't make the team, No, he's

633
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:21.920
Is he a league guy? He's
no, he's a two way player.

634
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:23.280
But I don't think they're gonna do
that. Yeah. I think he's gonna

635
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:27.000
go make a ton of money forever. He's gonna go overseas. I think

636
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.280
it could be wrong, but you
know it's like it's like he couldn't come

637
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:35.039
he couldn't come back because you're not
gonna get any better. Well he wasn't.

638
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.280
Yeah, he's the between guys.
I mean he was you know,

639
00:42:37.320 --> 00:42:40.199
he was in that that mic L
Wrights right where. Well, you know,

640
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:43.679
if you can go make the money, go make the money. And

641
00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:46.320
if that means he goes and makes
the money overseas, he'll be happy for

642
00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:51.360
Argentina. Man, there don't craft
for Argentina. I'll take Lithuania wherever or

643
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:53.039
wherever. I'll take whatever he's gonna
make. Uh, you know, playing

644
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:58.760
basketball overseas play a game, right
exactly exactly. So anyways, we're talking

645
00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:00.639
about time back. So to your
point, I I really don't know.

646
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:04.079
I'll have to I'd have to think
about it. I probably know if you

647
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:07.000
more, well, Bill Bill's you
know, you call her Bill. He's

648
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:12.039
a big Diamondbacks fan. Okay,
So fur so that's four. I don't

649
00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:15.320
know many. I don't I know
a couple maybe a couple, but you

650
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:17.039
know, come on now, and
I get it, they're the state team.

651
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:21.840
But not no, no guys or
no people who would say, God,

652
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:23.440
I hope they would, you know, in May would have said win

653
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.920
this game? Right? No,
no, there's I don't. Look,

654
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.039
we had the we had the ball
game on it at our tailgate party.

655
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:34.480
We have a TV. We weren't
we were't in football, and everybody was

656
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.760
cheering for the diamondback. But who
was the Diamondback fan in the room.

657
00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:43.599
It was my sister Lane and my
she lives she lives in Phoenix. No

658
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:46.159
Eline lives here now, but she
did. She lived there for a while.

659
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:50.760
Weu she fell in love with Steve
Finley when he was on and it

660
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:57.480
was all about Steve Finley. But
I just thought of that. But you

661
00:43:57.480 --> 00:44:01.360
know, but you know, no, she's she's a genuine Diamondbacks fan,

662
00:44:01.679 --> 00:44:07.719
My sister and her husband. So
I count them as well. What maybe

663
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:13.480
you count aaron genuine Diamondbacks and they
go to Diamondbacks games, right, and

664
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:17.360
they love the Diamondbacks and they're excited
about all. Let's take this off.

665
00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:21.920
Hi, you're on the aaron I
and the ball. Hey, you guys,

00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:35.800
very very happy. Okay, Arizona
got a very important, very great win

669
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:42.639
against Oregon State. So we're moving
on the right right track. And so

670
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:47.119
I'm happy with the way Arizona is. So I'm very happy. Good for

most about what you're seeing? Clearly,

673
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:06.039
Justice, she's a right coach.
He really he really cares about this program.

674
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:13.280
Johnny Nason and Dwayne Kina all the
perfect fit on the defense because uh,

675
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:20.559
Dwayne Quina is like Yoda, He's
like the very statesman, uh,

676
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:29.079
very old knowledgeable person helping guyy Nash
and then uh and then the offensive and

677
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:37.079
he now the the sun. Brendan
Carol is a very offensive, smart guy

678
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:43.400
and so everything and so I like
the weigh how everything is going forward.

679
00:45:43.559 --> 00:45:46.400
So yeah, no, I agree, you gave. We'll see what happens

680
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:51.639
rest the way. Hey, and
you're your USC Trojans almost almost took it,

681
00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:54.639

been very happy this weekend. Yeah,

682
00:45:54.760 --> 00:46:00.880
too bad. Well, they're gonna
get their asks tended to themselves Washington

00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:05.840
and then next week Oregon. So
yeah, he m is going to be

684
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:09.840
a US three pretty soon, so
I can't wait. Hey, I'm doing

685
00:46:10.079 --> 00:46:16.199
on Hey, I'm doing some witschcraft
and making making that scene happening. So

Uh uh Gay, little voodoo? Yeah,

687
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.239

Gabel, Thanks a bunch man,

688
00:46:25.719 --> 00:46:29.639
have a good week, Bear down, Arizona, Go Cap, Gabe.

689
00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:31.079
But sounding good to do. Speaking
of you know, he brought up you

690
00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:37.599
know who us he's gonna play the
next two weeks. Did we say that

691
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:42.760
in our bet that whichever team we
picked has to win the league in order

692
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:45.119
to win the we'd have to Yeah, you have to win the league?

693
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:49.559
Yeah? Yeah, because I thought
they'd played each other. Right. Still,

694
00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:52.960
let me tell you I've said this
all along. Outside of the US,

695
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:58.079
I love best team. I love
Oregon. Now you know you put

696
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.599
you put it after my throat.
Today I'm telling you organ winning the league.

697
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.760
They're gonna come back. Well,
Washington hasn't played well the last couple

698
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.119
No, no, and I thought
that Oregon played them in Washington. They

699
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:09.000
lost. I don't know if people
are catching up with with Michael Panix and

700
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:13.599
and what they're doing or what,
but Oregon is more complete, right,

701
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:16.559
They've got a defense. They should
sut the hell out of Utah Washington,

702
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:19.840
right, they shouldn't want Yeah,
they shouldn't lost that game. Yeah,

703
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:22.079
and they like them. But you
know, the fact of the matter is

704
00:47:22.119 --> 00:47:24.280
that they still they're still in it. They still got a chance. And

705
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:30.679
I think, yeah, I think
the College Football Playoff Committee, you know,

706
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:35.440
if if if Washington and Oregon are
playing in the you knowship in the

707
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.559
championship game and they both got there
without any more losses, and Oregon wins

708
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:43.960
that game, Oregon has because I
would I would put them against pretty much

709
00:47:43.960 --> 00:47:46.920
any team because they they're more complete, they're more complete, and they have

710
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:51.320
they have a lot of things outside
of that one. A few moments in

711
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:53.400
that Washington game, they should have
won the game. Well again, and

712
00:47:53.960 --> 00:47:57.800
it's it's tough because it comes down
to a couple of those you know,

713
00:47:57.880 --> 00:48:00.639
coaching decision that the coach made.
We got look hocky or something. Yeah,

714
00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:06.400
and and and well didn't take them
a couple of let's finish the show

715
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:10.199
with that USC struggles there. They've
lost their place. There's no question what's

716
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:14.039
going on. There's there's stuff going
on. There must be okay, and

717
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:16.079
then you have Oregon, who's playing
very well, Washington who's not, and

718
00:48:16.079 --> 00:48:22.159
then Colorado, who's kind of refound
its surface. Right, it's not it's

719
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:23.960
not right. They're back where you
thought they were gonna be. Right,

720
00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:29.679
they're not playing well, there's still
you know each other. Right, There's

721
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:31.960
just a lot of things like that. And I think the Arizona game down

722
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.920
the road will get there when we
get there, but should be pretty good

723
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.480
one. Arizona one of the two
games that we thought that they had to

724
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:42.320
win to get to six. Right, you know, the precincts are in

725
00:48:42.760 --> 00:48:45.440
from Oregon and Oregon because we didn't
know. You know, it's like the

726
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:49.440
presidential election. We got a wait
for these votes and they got the two

727
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:53.039
Washington and Oregon, I mean,
come out. We didn't we would have

728
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:57.920
never thought this three four months ago
now because we didn't know, right,

729
00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.920
I mean, you know, because
we we talked about, uh, you

730
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:02.840
know, we we kind of had
I know, we mostly talked about two

731
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:07.519
games that Oregon, I mean the
Washington State and Oregon State game. But

732
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:08.679
I was also kind of throwing once
the season, I kind of threw the

733
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:12.320
U c L A game in there
that they could come out of out of

734
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:16.280
those three games, two wins,
that they're going Bowlder, which they've done.

735
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:20.880
They can. I think they can
beat yourself. I believe. You

736
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:23.960
know, when did you why didn't
you like this team? When did I

737
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:28.880
like, yeah, yeah, when
did you like this team? I already

738
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:35.519
in Mississippi State because because they played
like crap. They played possibly the worst

739
00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:39.719
quarter of Arizona football in the last
twenty years. In the first quarter right

740
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:44.719
which they played some back. You
know, it was just I want to

741
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:46.000
pull my hair out, and I
remember I'm watching that game, you know,

742
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:49.719
at a beach house in San Diego. I'm trying to be relaxed,

743
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.159
and instead I want to, you
know, smash my hand with a hammer

744
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:55.760
watching what they're doing. When you
got to the end of that and the

745
00:49:55.800 --> 00:50:00.320
fact that they took that game into
overtime, wait a minute, wait,

746
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:02.199
wait a minute, you know what
did we just see? Right? And

747
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:07.239
then you know they went to finish
or not there and then Stanford again.

748
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:09.519
I got to the end of that
game and thinking they should have kicked their

749
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:13.440
ass, but then they thought Arizona
Roman uses that game. They play like

750
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:16.199
that on the road against anybody,
they lose, and they didn't lose,

751
00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:19.920
and then you saw what Fafeita did
at the end of that game, and

752
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:21.800
I thought, wait a minute,
what do we have now with this?

753
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:24.880
So yeah, so around that time
in that in that time period, which

754
00:50:24.920 --> 00:50:29.239
is legitimate leg because I went into
the Washington game thinking they're not going to

755
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:31.320
beat Washington, but they're not gonna
blown out. It's going to be a

756
00:50:31.320 --> 00:50:34.760
game, you said, and I
said, you know, And then I

757
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:37.599
said that I thought, you know
that. U. I thought what happened

758
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:39.719
to USC was what was going to
happen, that they would blame them to.

759
00:50:40.039 --> 00:50:43.719
Okay, they're up seventeen to nothing, and I'm like, guys,

760
00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:45.079
watch out. This team is actually
pretty good. But you know, those

761
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.360
two teams were in the top ten
at the time and they lost. They

762
00:50:47.360 --> 00:50:52.360
were supposed to lose, sure,
but they played them well. For me,

763
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:55.239
it was the Washington State game,
and they played well against USC the

764
00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:59.119
week before and they just didn't win, and they got a chance. I

765
00:50:59.159 --> 00:51:01.360
think maybe they got a little smidge
of it. But when they were dominating

766
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:05.239
in Washington State, especially with Coleman, and they were just they said,

767
00:51:05.280 --> 00:51:07.519
they can't stop this guy. What's
going on? And they couldn't stop him.

768
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:09.920
And then they couldn't stop, and
I'm thinking, thank god, something

769
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:13.119
here. Remember I asked Jed the
question I think on the show, I

770
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:15.639
said, at what point did you
realize you have something? Because he has

771
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:20.119
something, you know, and it
look it's it's it's the nature of an

772
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:28.639
Arizona fan like me to be cautious
and actually to did not see what's there

773
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:30.920
right right, because you got you
have to live. But we've just gotten

774
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:35.719
our faces kicked in for so long, you know, like the twenty fourteen

775
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:37.760
team, you know, even after
they beat Oregon, yeah, you know,

776
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:40.159
because that was relatively early in the
season, right, you know,

777
00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:44.320
I still didn't think that they were
a great team, sure, you know,

778
00:51:44.880 --> 00:51:46.639
and and and so it took a
while. Then all of sudden you

779
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:49.480
go, wait a minute, they
have a chance to win the when the

780
00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.960
when the packed off south and then
they did. So, you know,

781
00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:58.920
it's our nature to not overblow you
what I mean, we say things like

782
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:01.679
that, but to think that it's
all gonna come crashing down at some moment.

783
00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:05.920
That's our name. You are the
kick dog. You are the kick

784
00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:08.519
dog. You know you're yeah,
you're walking with your owner. And yet

785
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:10.679
you think things are all good and
all of sudden he kicks you in the

786
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:13.599
side. Yeah, he says,
all God, I knew this was gonna

787
00:52:13.599 --> 00:52:15.840
happen you. He was gonna kick
you in the sight. So next time

788
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:20.039
somebody tax him, I'm just gonna
let him get you. That was my

789
00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:27.760
owner. I'll show you. That's
that's Steve. That's that's it. That's

790
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:30.880
it, that's that's that's in theirs
on the in a nutshell. Kick me

791
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:36.079
again, in a nutshell. That's
who we are, all right. That

792
00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:37.840
was it, man, great show
to Dave. It was a lot of

793
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:39.559
fun. Thank you Lamon love It
for helping us out, and thank you

794
00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:44.519
Jack mcgrudor for giving us some stuff. The Diamondbacks. I hope the Lions

795
00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:47.039
get their asses kicked tonight. And
I'm gonna say it, oh Diamondbacks.

796
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:52.079
All right, we'll see tomorrow.
