In the most recent U eighteen I think it's a World 45 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.199 Cup or something like that. Yeah, they lost in the gold medal game 46 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:12.000 to the US, but she was on that team and she's apparently a superstar 47 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.800 in the making in women's basketball attends.

So a lot of things going on. I know you're gonna have 59 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:54.800 breaking news. There's a lot of stuff breaking news football wise, right. 60 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.719 Uh you know what, I haven't been on social media like all day to 61 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.960 day, just been busy. But so I'm gonna find out from Ryan what 62 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:09.039 the hell's going on out there? Yeah, okay, all right, go 63 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:13.360 over that later, all right. Dodgers trying to bounce back from getting beat 64 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.279 two out of three by the dang Giants over the weekend. So they've got 65 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.399 the Diamondbacks at Dodgers Stadium for three So we'll see what happens. That starts 66 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.439 tonight. We're taking on the Giants tonight. He just beat the hell out 67 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.079 of the Dodgers, you know, the one game the Dodgers did win they 68 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.959 wanted, I mean, they beat the hell out of them, but took 69 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.480 they went to extra indings to do it. So I don't know what's going 70 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.680 on over there. It's pitching. They don't have the they don't have the 71 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.360 any dominant pitching right now? Oh they do? Should they have dominant pitching? 72 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.519 They no, they got a bunch of injuries. They got a bunch 73 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.160 of guys hurt. You know, they're they're probably their three best picture four 74 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:50.560 best pitchers are all out. Oh really yeah, and have been all year 75 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.879 line and they're still doing okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing. 76 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.759 That's interesting thing is that they are doing okay. So okay, anyways, 77 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.439 all right, U what else is going on? We got a lot of 78 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.680 stuff. The softball teams in Italy, I think basketball team. Did you 79 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.000 see that that the four four guys I didn't see who they were. The 80 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:16.839 four guys are are projected to go to the NBA next year for four drafts. 81 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:30.319 Four drafts. Lewis yeah, Uh, Jane Bradley, Caleb Love prevousous. 82 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.360 Somebody had some stuff about Creevous the other day. Uh. And then 83 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.959 if he has a big year, he could be He's not. He's definitely 84 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:43.199 not ready. He's he's not ready to even in a year. He's how 85 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.199 can I say this, He's he's a mix of Caleb Tarzuski, very stiff. 86 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:54.600 Uh, he has a way Caleb rustics. Uh. He's got a 87 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.439 lot of the things, but he's not fluid enough. I remember that the 88 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.639 NBA is a fluid Yeah. I'm not I'm not debate with you. I'm 89 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.120 just saying I read a projection on him that you know that he can he 90 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:11.120 can develop it from what they saw last year, he could develop enough this 91 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.480 year to be to be in that in that neighborhood. So who's the fourth 92 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.319 one? Okay? So Crevios Crevious is nineteen to the Clippers by ESP A 93 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:25.040 nineteenth nineteen pick. That's pretty generous. That's pretty generous. I wasn't making 94 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.279 it up, man, No, No, I don't. I usually don't 95 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.560 think you're making it up. And usually wrong. And when you do make 96 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.439 it up, Okay, sometimes I'm wrong, but I'm I don't make enough. 97 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.600 Yeah, but I don't. You don't. Just because they put it 98 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:39.319 out there doesn't mean it's legit. But I'm saying I read that projection. 99 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.199 I was. I was as surprised as you to hear somebody say that crevious 100 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.199 could be somebody who could who could do enough to get to get drafted in 101 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.839 the first round here. Yeah. Well, okay, I just don't see 102 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.199 it, but we don't want to Helio, so you said, Carter Bryan. 103 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.839 Carter Bryan, correct, Okay, right right, which makes sense. 104 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.000 You know, it's active young guy who has a lot of potential. Uh, 105 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.160 it'd probably be best to be stayed to at least two years. I 106 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.800 mean, it's all about potential, right, well, talk about potential money, 107 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.879 Yeah, potential. But but I'm sure they're getting paid pretty well, 108 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.160 That's what I'm saying. If they're getting paid pretty well here, they might 109 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.560 stay. Whereas before, if they weren't getting paid here and if the money 110 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:24.160 was there on the NBA side, they were gone. So uh No, 111 00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.879 I think I think it could be that if he's going to be a low 112 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.600 first round draft pick or or maybe maybe not a certain first round draft pick, 113 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:34.319 and somebody might go in the second round. He might stick around for 114 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.040 a year where he might where otherwise might not have. Well, they said 115 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:44.279 they mentioned four, but they only stay three Crevis, kJ Lewis, and 116 00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:48.120 and Uh and Bryant. I would assume that they met, but they don't 117 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:56.279 mention wholes in Indiana. He's no longer well, so I don't think they 118 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.040 yeah, four names, but he's not a. He's not Why would they 119 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.399 include him? He's not there. Yes, I don't know who would you 120 00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:09.519 rather have this year? YEA, probably Crivos because throws. Yeah, I 121 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:15.040 mean, and look, Crevo look really good player, really physical and that. 122 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.240 But I think I think Crevis takes a big step. I think Crevis 123 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:24.120 takes a big step where he can be ballowed like he's he's more skilled offensively. 124 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.240 I think and and and he and I think and he'll make them and 125 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:33.279 he'll make the damn free throws, you know. And I shouldn't say it 126 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.240 that way. I'm not, you know, I'm not. I'm not puking 127 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.000 on on on Umar Ballow because he was great here and he had a lot 128 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.799 to do with you know theirs success these last two seasons. But you know 129 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.279 you cringed when when they followed him, because he thought, you know, 130 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.639 there's a there that could this could be a waste of possession. And uh 131 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.519 And like I said, if Crevis takes, if Creavs takes the step forward 132 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:01.799 that you would expect somebody to take between the friendshman and sophomore year, he 133 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:07.759 could be in the ballot neighborhood already in terms of you know what you know, 134 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.960 in terms of being as a big guy, you know, both offensively 135 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.559 and defensively. You know, I think Ballo is a little more athletic. 136 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.360 Creevous has some other skills that bollow didn't have. Right right then they were 137 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.200 a good combination. He's got to get tougher, for sure, right who 138 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.679 Creevous does? I mean under the basket he got he got pushed around, 139 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.159 he'd get the ball torn out of his hands, those kinds of things. 140 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.919 But those are the kinds of things that you work on in the off season. 141 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.559 And if you if you do do better at those things and get a 142 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.159 lot better overall, then he can be somebody that again brings the types of 143 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.720 things they do. Morballo did what's a little bit more offense. Yeah, 144 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.759 I agree, So I agree, And that's why I'm sure that in Tommy 145 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:52.360 Low's factor of saying goodbye to Ballow, it was part of its branch out 146 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.480 over there. We've got a guy. We've got a guy. To let 147 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.159 me tell you something. There was a guy before Crebis too and ball Henry. 148 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.039 Henry was fantastic. He was fluid from the outside of three pointers. 149 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.480 He could. He's a stiff, thin guy, but he was not gonna 150 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.480 bang. He was not gonna bang around inside. No. No, But 151 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.960 he's a four. He's a he's a stretch forward to stretch forward, which 152 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:16.039 I think will be great for Arizona having him there too. So if it's 153 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:20.039 not Creevous, it could be Henry and whoever else to have. This is 154 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:26.960 gonna be a pretty pretty solidary. Well uh uh, Tommy Lloyd, that 155 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.639 guy that Tommy lawrdy is gonna have a lot of options. He's gonna have 156 00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.919 a lot of He's gonna be able to have a lot of different looks. 157 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.639 Right. Uh. You know, let's say let's say crevious, I mean 158 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.000 not crevous. Vassar's in the game, you know, as the as the 159 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.960 five now somebody's got to go out on the perimeter and cover him, whereas 160 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.080 with Grievous you don't have to do that. So it's gonna give him some 161 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.960 options in some ways to to change things around and keep people, you know, 162 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.519 keep other teams guessing in terms of how they're going to defend or how 163 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.639 they're gonna, you know, run their offense against Arizona. To be asking 164 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.840 you, but Bradley, I think, right, but do you think he's 165 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.799 an NBA guy? I don't know. I don't think we know that yet. 166 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.279 He's really good. He's really good, yeah, and for his purpose, 167 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.679 right and and I know you give him crap about his aggressiveness and now 168 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.759 he doesn't give up the ball. But guys like that they have value with 169 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.519 the next half value at the next level because they're fearless. Right now, 170 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.000 they can get to the basket, right, they're fearless. He's quick, 171 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.480 he can get to the basket. I think he needs to be a little 172 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.519 better shooter, right, right. He's established himself as a little better shooter 173 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:31.639 this year. And if he does that, I think, yeah, I 174 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.600 think he's an NBA player. I think I think his game is more shooted 175 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.919 to the next level than here. He's tall enough, he's yeah, and 176 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.799 he's aggressive enough. I don't give him grieful about that his aggressiveness. It's 177 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.120 just that he's really ball dominant. Oh you still want you give him crap 178 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.639 because he goes into the lane and the ball never comes out and comes out 179 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.320 and and Caleb will have to learn the same thing. And guess what how 180 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.600 many balls did play with just that one? Yeah? Yeah, So you're 181 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.840 right, they're gonna have to figure that out. Because you know, the 182 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:05.039 other kid, the kid that transferred the guard what's the name owe? Who 183 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:11.720 are you? I don't know? Who are you to? Kylin Boswell was 184 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.200 more apt to give up the ball than Jade and Bradley. So we're gonna 185 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:20.799 have to see what who's who's who's gotta adjust? Does Caleb Love have to 186 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.039 adjust and not seeing the ball as much? Does Jaydon Bradley have to adjust 187 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.919 and give the ball up a little more? Do you think that Boswell uh 188 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.399 probably gave it up more than he should have. Well? This year, 189 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.919 last year was not a good year for Boswell, had the same Boswell showed 190 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.960 up, he got off to a great start, and then he went into 191 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:41.639 the andh he was he was Nope, not confident at all with the shot 192 00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.399 or otherwise. Yeah. Uh, and I think I love that had something 193 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.960 to do with it. However, I don't know. So we'll see. 194 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.840 We'll see. It's gonna be a good team. It's gonna be a good 195 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.679 team. It's gonna be interesting to see what their identity becomes. Right are 196 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.159 they There's somebody who Are they a team that you know, high scoring team, 197 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.639 you know, shooting all over the place, you know, a good 198 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.879 defensive team. Are they good inside or I'll only go out on the perimeter? 199 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.440 All those things. Yeah, so I posted today. I'll save your 200 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.360 stuff for for for first breaking news, but I posted today's poll. They 201 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.960 had a poll for media, poll for the football the media already and I 202 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.080 won't say where Arizona landed. I'll say so people were asking is this basketball 203 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.840 or football? And I'm thinking, do I also have to post that McDonald's 204 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:37.960 coffee is hot? Because what what? What's the next sport coming up? 205 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.600 Football? Basketball? A few months? Plat Poul won't be out for four 206 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.080 months last I checked. So it's football and you will probably be surprised be 207 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.080 where they landed. I'm gonna have to look, I haven't. That tells 208 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.559 you how out of pocket I have been today. I'm not. I've not 209 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.120 seen any of this stuff.

We have 296 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:33.400 Courtney, Ryan and Josie a Flexen from the USA Paralympics basketball team. How 297 00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.880 you guys doing good, We're done great, Thanks for having us. Congratulations 298 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:42.319 on another Olympic Games appearance. I'm sure you guys are as excited as as 299 00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:47.920 last time. Oh yeah, even more so. I'd say, yeah, 300 00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.480 super excited. Last time it was a unique experience not having fans during the 301 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:59.200 COVID pandemic. So excited to have family and friends there this time to share 302 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.240 the experience. How's is your approach any different being that you guys are old, 303 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:08.160 grizzled veteran Olympics athletes or you know, is it the same? Is 304 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:12.559 there the same type of excitement? How are you handling it this time around? 305 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.680 Yeah? I would say that excitement is different this time. I think 306 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.880 when we went to Tokyo, we were a very young team and we were 307 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.559 just excited to experience the Paralympics. But now I think we're excited at the 308 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:33.799 prospect of getting goals and using our experience and chemistry to achieve that. So 309 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:40.400 how much better have you guys gotten four years later? Yeah, we've improved 310 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:45.599 a lot collectively and individually. Like Josie mentioned, We were a young team 311 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:52.319 at the last Paralympic Games, so we're excited to have that year of experience 312 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.640 in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one under our belts now to showcase the world 313 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.400 what we got. Now, well, I don't want to put this on 314 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.680 you, but you did get a bronze last time, so it's like, 315 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.799 is it gold or bust this year? How are you guys approaching that? 316 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.240 I think all of us were and are very grateful for the bronze medal. 317 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.359 Right, it's just to metal is an amazing achievement, but I think it 318 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.960 did fire us up being so close to, you know, two spots away 319 00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.880 from getting gold. I think everyone has their eyes on that this time around. 320 00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:30.480 So what are the tryouts like? Did you have to go somewhere maybe 321 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.880 Colorado Springs workout as like everybody else and then they pick you or what's the 322 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:41.680 process? Yeah, our first tryout was in January and there was about thirty 323 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.519 girls women that were invited to the tryout. It's very exhausting week. We 324 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:55.680 train about six to nine hours a day, including strength and conditioning testing, 325 00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:03.680 and they narrow it down to sixteen after that first tryout and then we came 326 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:08.720 back in April, which was in Colorado Springs and had the final tryout where 327 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:15.119 they announced the twelve players and teams teammates. So they're going to be representing 328 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:21.000 Team USA and then for alternate So did you both you feel pretty good about 329 00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.599 your chances at that because you're on the team last year. How many other 330 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:32.039 repeaters are there on this team? Most of the team except for their one 331 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.480 athlete, has been to a Paralympic support at least one Paralympic, So it's 332 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:41.039 a team full of vetsa at this point, and as a veteran athlete, 333 00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.319 I think you start to feel more confident about your chances of making the next 334 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.519 team, but it is still nerve wracking and you definitely want to show up 335 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.559 to try out as having put the work in. Well, we're talking to 336 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.960 Josie Aslexon and Courtney Ryan, both from the UV right they played here. 337 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.319 That's one of the reasons why we have them. We're local from UVA. 338 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.960 How is that passed help with this future the u of A past? I 339 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:11.599 would definitely say that being a part of the collegiate program here at University of 340 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:18.240 Arizona taught us the work ethic that it takes to be able to represent Team 341 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:23.119 USA. So without that experience and that exposure, it would have been really 342 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:30.599 hard and difficult to get the opportunity to represent Team USA. So incredibly grateful 343 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:36.960 for those times at the University of Arizona and have a lot of gratitude for 344 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.559 what we learned there. So you mentioned off air, Joseie, you're the 345 00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:45.200 head coach of the u of A women's team. According to you her assistant. 346 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:49.759 Now, how's that relationship on the floor with playing as teammates? What's 347 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:55.240 that like for the two of you? I feel like we just know each 348 00:24:55.279 --> 00:25:02.160 other really well, and we understand and value each other's perspective. It's special 349 00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.480 when you get to play with someone so often and then you get to coach 350 00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:11.079 alongside them. I think your basketball brains kind of mess, and it's really 351 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:17.440 nice to have that chemistry on the court and on the sideline. Is there 352 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.640 actually you know on the court? Can you tell you you know what each 353 00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:22.480 other is doing, you know how to you know your moves, those kinds 354 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.039 of things. I mean, is that actually going on on the court. 355 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.519 Yeah, Like she said, it's a huge benefit to get the opportunity to 356 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.240 coach with each other because we both bring different things to the game that we 357 00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.799 can elevate for the girls that we coach. And then it's a huge advantage 358 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:48.720 to get the opportunity because we talk basketball so much that when we get back 359 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:53.279 to training camps, you know, it's very easy and we just understand each 360 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:56.319 other when we're out there, so it's a huge benefit. Well, along 361 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.279 those lines, you said that the team is pretty much the same as it 362 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:03.480 was last time. Did you play more games since the last in Tokyo? 363 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:08.000 Did you guys go other places and still have more chemistry or learn more about 364 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:14.960 the team since the last four years. Yeah, we've gone to Dubai, 365 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:22.599 We've gone to Chile, and we've recently come back from China. So yeah, 366 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.400 we've we've gotten the chance to complete since Tokyo and kind of see where 367 00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:32.000 we're at going into Paris. What a great opportunity. Yeah, absolutely, 368 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.039 Okay, So what's what's the process from here now? From here until you 369 00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.000 get to the Olympics or what you know? When, what are you doing, 370 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.640 how's the training going, where's the training taking place? And then when 371 00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:48.000 do you leave for Paris? And when does all that happen? So we 372 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:52.799 are a decentralized program. All twelve of us kind of live in different areas 373 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:59.759 of the United States, so we trained individually and meet at least once a 374 00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:06.319 month to make sure that we're good to go and we're still on the same 375 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:11.079 page chemistry wise. Is really important to have that. So we have one 376 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.440 more training camp coming up in about two weeks in Colorado Springs. We just 377 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:23.599 finished a training camp last week actually in Alabama, and then we head out 378 00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:30.640 on August seventeenth. So we're incredibly excited and the games officially start. I 379 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:36.079 believe our first game is the twenty eighth or the twenty ninth of August. 380 00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.799 Woll Yeah, nice. Could you guys give us some background on your plane 381 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.720 or how you grew up, because I think one of you seen some TV 382 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:48.960 stuff was a lacross player and so you're very competitive. I actually played soccer 383 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:56.200 starting at the age of four, so I played soccer from four to My 384 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.480 spinal cord injury happened when I was nineteen years old. I was playing at 385 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:07.640 the collegiate level at Metro State University College of Denver in Denver, Colorado. 386 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:14.279 At nineteen, I sustained a spinal cord injury due to a blood clot burst 387 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:19.920 in my spinal cord which caused me to be from paralyzed from the waist down, 388 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:26.440 and was introduced. That happened in twenty ten, and I was introduced 389 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:33.880 to adaptive sports and twenty eleven and specifically was in love with wheelchair basketball. 390 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:40.880 I felt like there was a lot of similarities between basketball and soccer, so 391 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:45.240 I was just fooked right from the beginning of that. And it's been an 392 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:52.240 incredible journey since then, since twenty twelve, and grateful for the opportunities that 393 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.759 I've had, Grateful for the places that I've gotten to travel because of the 394 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:03.039 sport. And Jose been doing this for I don't know it started at a 395 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.039 younger age or something like that. I mean, what's your background on this? 396 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.160 Yeah, my story is a little bit different. I was injured in 397 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.440 a car accident when I was five years old, and so in my childhood 398 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:22.039 I was, you know, trying different recreational sports and seeing what kind of 399 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.480 clicked for me. It wasn't like I had the opportunity to play sports in 400 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.119 my school system. I had to go to a rehab center and find what 401 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:36.240 sports were out there, and then I ended up really liking wheelchair basketball when 402 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:41.119 I tried that at thirteen years old, and so I played through middle school, 403 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:47.759 high school, got a scholarship to go play college ball, and kind 404 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:53.480 of my career evolved from there as far as getting invited to USA tryouts and 405 00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:57.160 whatnot. Then you picked Arizona, Well, I think you picked their zona. 406 00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:02.920 It's one of the best a deptive sports in the country. Yeah, 407 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.240 for sure, very grateful to u of A. I was actually a transfer 408 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:10.039 student when I came to the u of A, so I didn't come here 409 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:15.279 originally, but it ended up being the better fit for me to both pursue 410 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:21.400 my academic interests and just the facilities at the u of A are so awesome 411 00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:26.960 for a Paralympic athlete to have access to, and it's such an accessible campus. 412 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.599 The weather's great. I come from Minnesota originally, so I always knew 413 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.400 that that wasn't going to be the best fit for me, probably as a 414 00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:40.359 wheelchair user during the winter. So Tucson's been a really good home. We're 415 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:45.960 talking to Courtney Ryan and Josie Oslickson, both on the USA Paralympic basketball team 416 00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:52.279 headed to Paris in a few weeks. Since you're both coaches were and we're 417 00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.519 college players. What's your coaching approach? Are you trying to coach players to 418 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:03.119 play like you or do you coach players based on what you know what they 419 00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:04.160 bring to the table. You know what I'm saying. It's it's like, 420 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:07.559 you know, we all play sports, but how do we coach them? 421 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.519 Right? What's your what's been the approach for both of you in terms of 422 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:18.880 being a coach? Yeah, I think our style that we've kind of found 423 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:25.279 since we started coaching together is pretty much focused on player development, right, 424 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.519 Like we would love to have a national championship winning team, but we do 425 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:34.359 find athletes that come to our program at all different levels of the game. 426 00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:44.720 It's not the same as like college D one basketball, where you know you 427 00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:49.160 have like you're playing basketball your whole life and you have to have a very 428 00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:53.599 very high skill set in order to make a college team. Like sometimes we 429 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:59.480 have athletes that come to U of A that are newly injured or maybe didn't 430 00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:02.759 play mind when they were a kid because they had confidence issues as a kid 431 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.200 with a disability and didn't get themselves out there much. So it's kind of 432 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:13.279 courtany and I's shop to boot their confidence and show them the skill set that 433 00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.119 they're capable of. And I think that that's our passion, is player development. 434 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:22.599 So it's already July or early July, you will get together one more 435 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:28.759 time before you head out to Paris. What's the next step. Next step 436 00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:34.119 is when gold at Paris Paralympics twenty twenty four, bring that home to Tucson. 437 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:37.519 How long is the tournament it? Does it go on for the pretty 438 00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:39.359 much the entire Olympics or the week or you know, or is it a 439 00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:45.920 week? And how many games do you expect to play? So we start 440 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:51.799 about August twenty ninth, and then our last day is September eighth, is 441 00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.960 the gold medal game. So that's obviously the goal there to make it to 442 00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:05.519 that game. And we have three pooled preliminary games and then there's crossover games 443 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:10.119 and hopefully it'll be quarterfinals, semi finals into that gold medal game. You 444 00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:15.079 know, I've covered two Olympics, and obviously there's some great stories, but 445 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.920 I think the Paralympic games have the inspiring stories. Do you get that sense 446 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.720 even though you're kind of in it, but you probably meet people that are 447 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:29.559 that have great stories. Yeah, I mean that's I think part of why 448 00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:36.000 we enjoy doing these interviews and enjoy shedding light on the Paralympic movement because I 449 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:43.759 think the Paralympics are sometimes categorized as maybe not as televised or not as interesting, 450 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:46.319 just not as much media hype around them as the Olympics are. But 451 00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.599 our stories are just as inspiring, and we have obviously a lot of adversity 452 00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:58.279 that you have to you know, face in order to get to the Paralympic 453 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.480 level, and it's just as hard to achieve those goals and get those medals 454 00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:07.400 as it is on the Olympic side. There are so many Paralympic athletes and 455 00:34:07.639 --> 00:34:13.320 it's definitely a huge achievement to get to that level. So we kind of 456 00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.719 want to share that with everyone and hope that they tune into the Paralympics just 457 00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:21.000 as much as they tune into the Olympics. Well, and I think the 458 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:27.159 beautiful thing about the Paralympic movement is it's breaking down a lot of stereotypes that 459 00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:31.480 people with disabilities faced on an everyday life. So, you know, combating 460 00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:37.360 those stereotypes and advocating to the disabled community to provide more opportunities is a huge 461 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:45.599 part of being a paralympian, and you kind of get enlisted as an advocate 462 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:49.199 in that moment when you become a para. Yeah, it makes sense, 463 00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:52.719 totally makes sense. Well, Courtney Josi, thanks for joining us. Appreciate 464 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:57.920 it and good luck to you.

Yeah, 468 00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.159 you know what I mean, what you know you've sprained an ankle, go 469 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.280 through ladies there, you know, it's a life, it's a lifetime. 470 00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:22.440 We complained about it getting out of it and it shoulder injury or whatever. 471 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:24.320 And yeah no, and you saw him on TV right right, they're pretty 472 00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:29.079 good. Yeah, obviously they're playing at that's level. Incredibly inspiring. Great, 473 00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:30.960 Okay, all right, let's take our break.

One day's or these days you'll get there. Oh, he's actually 532 00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:57.119 probably forgetting stuff for doing other things. Yeah, okay, cool. If 533 00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:59.159 you want to call five two, four, one, six, seventy four 534 00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:04.079 forty h uh, you're we're gonna talk about the poll here and breaking news, 535 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:06.800 right, you're gonna wait for that. Yeah, we can wait for 536 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:09.800 it. Do you have a lot of stuff or a few things we can 537 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:14.280 talk. Let's talk about the ten We got twelve minutes. Maybe we'll get 538 00:40:14.320 --> 00:40:16.159 a call. Uh, so it was I don't know if it was a 539 00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:22.760 surprise to me, but Arizona was picked fifth in fifth in that uh uh 540 00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:29.360 conference by the media. It did have five guys uh in the first team, 541 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:32.280 the second most of any team. So that's kind of a contradiction, 542 00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.079 but that's just what it is. And I think the I don't know who 543 00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:39.199 the media. I know I didn't vote. No one asked me to vote. 544 00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:45.159 I know that Sheer posted something on Twitter that he had or I don't 545 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.199 know if he voted, but he has Arizona number one, and the knock 546 00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:50.599 me over with a feather, that's yes, you know, he's a he's 547 00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:53.239 a. He's in. I'm not I'm not picking Arizona number one. I 548 00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:58.159 think, well, you know, three or four, I guess because you 549 00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.800 know, Kansas State is pretty good. I don't know enough about Oklahoma State 550 00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:07.800 and Kansas and certain look, I think it's you know, it's one of 551 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.559 those things for the media doesn't know, right. I just don't think they 552 00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:15.400 know that. I mean, they know enough to know that Utah is really 553 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:19.039 damn good. They're and they're mean, and they're nasty, and they want 554 00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.639 to you know, they want to kick your ass and take your kids and 555 00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:27.119 your girlfriends and everybody else. Did you see the poll? Yeah, I've 556 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.320 got it up right now, you know. But so you know, Utah 557 00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:31.960 is kind of a no brainer, especially when you think, you know, 558 00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:36.199 Okay, they're coming into a league that's got Texas and Oklahoma gone, so 559 00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:40.199 not surprising that Utah still but you know, Arizona's a team that I just 560 00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:43.480 don't think they know enough about. Okay, so they're gonna say, you 561 00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:45.199 know what, I'm not picking them over Oklahoma State and Kansas Okay, So 562 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.320 Kansas State is number two, right, Kansas State number two, so that 563 00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.480 we had them as a loss, right, Yester? Yes, uh, 564 00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:57.440 and they're a steady number two. There's strong number two. Utah got twenty 565 00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.280 first place votes, Kansas State got nineteen, so there's a lot of people 566 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:04.119 that think Kansas State can win the league. And Oklahoma State did. Don't 567 00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.199 play Oklahoma State, do they, I don't think, Okay, so they 568 00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:10.320 avoid that one. Ne't number three don't play Kansas either, which is which 569 00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:14.360 is a strong up and coming football. They're not Arizona foot right, you 570 00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:16.960 can flip those two back back and forth. So if they picked Arizona, 571 00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.840 I guess when you look at them and you go, Okay, I understand 572 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:23.880 why you picked Arizona fifth. It makes sense, right, it makes sense. 573 00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:27.800 Do I think Arizona's gonna finish fifth place in the league. I do 574 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:30.800 not. I think they're gonna finish no lower than third, third, fourth, 575 00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:35.079 or I think I think I think they can finish third. Partly, 576 00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:37.880 they don't play Oklahoma State or Kansas I don't know who that's good or bad 577 00:42:37.920 --> 00:42:42.559 for, but Arizona's got a favorite. Look at look at the teams that 578 00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.000 they do play at the bottom. Right, they players on a state. 579 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:49.239 Who's picked last? They play Houston here, who's picked second to the last. 580 00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:51.920 They played by you, who's picked thirteenth. Right, they play Baylor, 581 00:42:51.960 --> 00:42:54.840 who's twelfth. They picked Blake. Colorado is eleventh. Tco in Texas 582 00:42:54.880 --> 00:43:00.679 go eight nine they play They play seven, seven through six team except for 583 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:02.679 Cincinnati. Let me tell you something. That's the hell of schedule in taking 584 00:43:02.760 --> 00:43:07.880 your bet from the the eight, I like that bet now because six of 585 00:43:07.920 --> 00:43:10.360 them are way below. Because you look, you look at the top of 586 00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:14.119 the standings. Okay, Yes, they do play Utah. They do not 587 00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:15.639 play Kansas State. They do not play Oklahoma State. They do not play 588 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.760 Kansas. Those are three teams picked ahead of them, and then the one 589 00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:22.639 right behind them, Iowa State. They don't play them either, so so 590 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.559 you know they've got it. They've got a favorable schedule. You know, 591 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.480 you go up and and look, well, Kansas State is not even a 592 00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:31.440 conference game, so even though they play Kansas State doesn't count. It's not 593 00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:36.679 a conference game, so that game doesn't figure into the into the Big twelve 594 00:43:36.679 --> 00:43:40.079 standings. So you look at that, all the teams that Arizona plays plays 595 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:45.199 in the league are below them except for Utah. That's a hell of a 596 00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:47.199 schedule when you come to think of it. And I'm thinking, if I'm 597 00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:52.159 the media and I see that and actually do some analysis and look at that 598 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.320 schedule, I probably move Arizona up a notch or two. Well, you 599 00:43:54.400 --> 00:43:58.039 have to also compare it to the other schedules, right, Oh, you 600 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:00.840 know, the Kansas schedule might be favorable too, But you know Kansas and 601 00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.519 kandas State play each other. Yeah, sure there's a loss for them too. 602 00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:07.400 One of them is going to lose that. Yeah, I think it's 603 00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:09.519 a well. One of I was with somebody today who's a booster, and 604 00:44:09.559 --> 00:44:12.880 he talked about okay. He was a little surprised too. He says, 605 00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.920 okay, but what that'll do is motivate them to be better, you know, 606 00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:19.159 because fifth is you know, fifth is like what is it like? 607 00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.559 Okay, yeah, we're we think we're better than that. They can put 608 00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:25.280 a chip on their shoulder over being finished fifth. It's better than the right 609 00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:29.920 coming off of beating their you know, their second best team from last year. 610 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:34.440 Uh well, you can argue that Oklahoma State got in the conference championship 611 00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:37.880 game, but Oklahoma was pretty damn good. You know, Oklahoma was a 612 00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:42.280 ten and two team, and then Arizona beat him. So it's fine, 613 00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:45.599 you know, Okay, let's go Arizona. You know you're you're you're pick 614 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:46.920 to finish fifth. Let's go. Let's see what happens to play the games. 615 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.920 But I but looking at this, you have to have to like Arizona 616 00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:55.639 schedule. I didn't see I saw the list of people. Let me just 617 00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:00.280 see if I all big twelve and they were there were a team mac wide 618 00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:06.559 receiver, offensive line, Jonah Savanea a place kicker, Tyler Loop, defensive 619 00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:13.519 player Jacob Manu, and Cala Davis. Uh No, mention of your quarterback 620 00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:21.559 Noah. Yeah, would you take Noah over Sanders in a heartbeat? Really 621 00:45:21.920 --> 00:45:25.760 in a heart beat? Wow? Because of what and not not that I'm 622 00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:30.320 I'm not not that I am, uh, you know, all in on 623 00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:34.440 on everything that that Vic says. But I agree with him from the standpoint 624 00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:40.280 that Norfa he just has something, all right, I could see, I 625 00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:45.320 could just see that should should dor Sanders if things go haywire, let's say 626 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:51.559 early in the season, him just having a bad year because of the expectations 627 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:54.119 he has for himself. Uh. And And I don't. I don't know 628 00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:58.599 him, and maybe that's unfair for me to say that, but I feel 629 00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.480 like we know a bit about no offa. Hey, I think I think 630 00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:05.800 I totally agree with Vic because Vick has an insire thing. He's so friends 631 00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:08.880 with his dad. But I think one of his big points is what he 632 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:13.360 does off the field. He galvanizes this team, right. And we talked 633 00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:15.599 about this, you know, when I's Lamar. I spent some time with 634 00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:19.840 lamon uh and I said they played harder for him than they did for uh, 635 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.800 for Dylan Delora, And he said that doesn't happen. I saw it, 636 00:46:24.159 --> 00:46:27.280 And let me tell you, they did the rest of the year too, 637 00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:30.920 And I think that's where they say I like this guy. In fact, 638 00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:32.880 I love this guy. I don't want to he has the Steve kirkfactor. 639 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:36.360 Yeah, I'm not going to try to. I'm not going to disappoint 640 00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:39.440 this guy, right, right, And that's what I'm saying. That's why 641 00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:43.199 I would take him in a second. I think we saw a couple of 642 00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:45.559 door Sanders kind of lose his mind a couple of times last year, you 643 00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:50.679 know, where they were having a tough time and things weren't going his way 644 00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.880 and he was you know, and then just all the hype that's come with 645 00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:57.480 him. Look, he's got a dad who lives for the hype, so 646 00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.480 maybe he's got somebody there to advise him on how to handle this stuff. 647 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:07.159 But there also has to be some stuff that you just are right that that 648 00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:13.280 that who you are, what you're about, and you know your main you 649 00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:17.159 know, he means to be seen. Whether Shador Sanders has all of the 650 00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:22.920 intangibles, right, he is the quarterback of the league. He is the 651 00:47:22.960 --> 00:47:24.960 first team that I have fine, and a lot of it probably with the 652 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.559 hype, but you know, the guy is talented. The guy is talented. 653 00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:30.639 Yeah, you know, he's he's he's a really great athlete, you 654 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:32.960 know. And the you know, I mean he he had he had a 655 00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:37.199 nice game against Arizona. You know, they almost won that game, but 656 00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.119 they didn't, right, And that's all I know. You know, I 657 00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:44.679 know that Noah Flafiita and that team went up there last year and beat those 658 00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:50.960 guys at their place. So to me, Noah Flafita has got you know, 659 00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:53.920 he's got one Nutch in his belt that Shador Sanders does not. And 660 00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:58.440 and again let's remember, as good as he everybody thinks he is, they 661 00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:00.920 went four to eight last year. Well it tanked on the final, yeah, 662 00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:06.199 final a few weeks right exactly. And and and and what I'm saying 663 00:48:06.239 --> 00:48:09.480 is that you put nor Fa in that in that position, they don't tank. 664 00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:15.360 Yeah, I think that's I think that's that's a big difference. We 665 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:20.960 will see and look, Okay, so no if this makes probably makes no 666 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.920 Ala hungrier as well, I'm gonna show, you know, I'm gonna show 667 00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:30.760 not not only the league but the country. You know, I'm the best 668 00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:34.880 quarterback in the Big twelve. And he's gonna go after. It's gonna be 669 00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.480 a lot of fun because it's it's territories we don't really know about or see 670 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:42.639 very often. They don't see Arizona very often. It's gonna be a fun, 671 00:48:42.840 --> 00:48:45.880 fun year for season. Yeah, I agree, I agree, looking 672 00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:47.559 forward to it. I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be cool. 673 00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:52.760 And I'll see again, We'll just see. We're hoping to get some 674 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:57.800 A d s or more administrators from in the coming weeks for as we get 675 00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.599 up for the Big twelve. I'm curious to see and we've we've asked this, 676 00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:05.159 you've asked this to request, Uh, does Ray to come on? 677 00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:08.719 I'm curious about tickets. How that's going. Well, their ticket prices are 678 00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:13.199 set for how they're selling, how they're selling, Say how much they're how 679 00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:15.440 they're selling, because that's key, that's key. And if you have a 680 00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:20.639 little hype coming in and they do, don't they how that's going? Yeah, 681 00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:22.760 I mean there's been a lot of excitement Steve, since you know, 682 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:25.880 the season ended. You know, from the day that they beat Oklahoma and 683 00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:30.440 the Alma Ball there's been a lot of excitement behind this program. I know 684 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:31.760 that there was some people, you know, we went through the whole coaching 685 00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:35.719 change and stuff like that. But I do know, I do feel that 686 00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:40.719 in the end, with the fact that these the players stayed, there's there's 687 00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:45.119 still a lot of excitement. People like what they're seeing from Brent Brandon so 688 00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:46.679 far. I mean, even without knowing whether or not he can coach, 689 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.239 people are very happy with the higher So there's so there's a lot of a 690 00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:57.039 lot of people out there behind this team. Let me ask you this, 691 00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.000 Uh, we we know what Jad did, but so that's a little you 692 00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.159 said that we don't know if he can coach. Brennan. We know he 693 00:50:04.199 --> 00:50:08.039 can coach, he's at level. Do you think do you think do you 694 00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:12.840 think you come in with more questions about Brennan than you had for Jet? 695 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:15.760 Oh? Hell no, exactly. That's my thanks. Thanks for the answer, 696 00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:20.599 because and in that tone, because last you're coming in two three years 697 00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:22.960 ago and coming in with what the hell are they doing? What are we 698 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:23.840 doing? And what are they doing? And what do we see? What 699 00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:27.239 do we say? You could have had Brent Brennan. Then you went, 700 00:50:27.679 --> 00:50:30.679 yeah, Nau and this is not a knock on Jet because he did a 701 00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:36.239 fantastic job. We just didn't know in the first few weeks, right, 702 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.199 you know, had Colbot come in with the COVID team, who knows, 703 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:43.760 would have gotten you no longer. But you know yet, to Jet's credit, 704 00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:45.119 he turned it around and did a great job and he now found a 705 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:51.880 better job, a better paying job. But you have less less questions about 706 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:57.400 Brennan than you did about Jets. Yes, because you again, Brand's been 707 00:50:57.440 --> 00:51:00.960 a head coach, he's got some ties to Arizona. All those things are 708 00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:05.039 you know, matter to to the fan base here. So yeah, no, 709 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.679 I I one hundred percent agree with you, And that's a good way 710 00:51:07.719 --> 00:51:12.239 to put it. We don't have as many questions about Jed as we had 711 00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:15.880 about about Brennan as we had about Jed. So yeah, and in fact, 712 00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:21.000 you didn't really find out whether Jed is a good coach or very good 713 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:23.360 coach third year till his third year, right then you thought, okay, 714 00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:27.880 you know, and he got these he got these players, and then he 715 00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.840 put them together, and who knows, and not to disregards what he did, 716 00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:35.679 he might have caught lightning in a bottle. He might have he might 717 00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.840 have well after after the lightning broke down in the first three weeks. Well, 718 00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:43.639 first of all, there was no pressure here whatsoever. No pressure. 719 00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:50.119 He couldn't be worse than what Arizona had. Yeah, Okay, so you 720 00:51:50.159 --> 00:51:52.360 go up there, you go to Washington, he's under pressure right now. 721 00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:57.400 Sure, if they have a bad year after being in the National Championship Game, 722 00:51:57.679 --> 00:52:01.159 there's gonna be questions, regardless of the fact that you know, they 723 00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:06.920 lost some players, they lost all that stuff. There's expectations up there that 724 00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.679 he did not have here, and he's gonna have those expectations year and then 725 00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:13.880 you're out and he's in the Big ten. Okay, we'll go back to 726 00:52:13.880 --> 00:52:16.159 this because I'm gonna quiz you on some of the past coaches and the confidence 727 00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:21.159 that you had on them coming in. Okay, after Dick, after Dick, 728 00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:22.519 we got to go here and we're gonna got breaking news on the other 729 00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:24.320 side. Cool, all right, let's take our break.
