WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:06.839
Steve Rivera and Jacob Salles. They
have their eye on the ball on Tucson's

2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:12.240
Sports. Stay shat Fox Sports fourteen
fifty. Hey, welcome back to winning

3
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.480
the Ball here Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve, he's Jay. Now

4
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:22.320
we have Adam with breaking newsless eye
on the ball, breaking news on Fox

5
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:27.320
Sports fourteen fifty. All right,
So to start things off for the UFA

6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:33.280
basketball we talked about it earlier,
but they did add Campbell transfer Anthony del

7
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:39.520
Orso. He was named second team
All CAA was the youngest player on either

8
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.679
first or second team. He appeared
in all thirty two games, made thirty

9
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.000
one starts, averaging nineteen and a
half points six and a half rebounds,

10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.880
which were both best marks on the
team. I'm curious, Jay, if

11
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.640
you saw, if you read Bruce's
over the weekend, I thought that Tommy

12
00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:00.640
was going to hold out till till
Bradley and kJ and and Love we're going

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.680
to make new decisions. Although I
think that kJ was not invited to the

14
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.760
G League. Neither was Bradley.
I don't think. Yeah, kJ and

15
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.560
Bradley were not about the league.
Caleb was was. So so you're thinking

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.799
too, that they're bringing another guy
on. You can only say something that

17
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.200
thing they're thinking Caleb Love. They
must be thinking, Caleb Love is not

18
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.719
coming back, right right? So
and he planned it plays the position of

19
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.400
small small three two. He's a
six to six wing guy. What come

20
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.599
I he's a thirty nine percent shooter
from three, right, Okay, you

21
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.400
know the guy who can make some
three. But you know, and we

22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.879
all you know, we all know. You know, Moroscus could shoot the

23
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.359
lights out, but apparently couldn't do
the other things needed to get on the

24
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.480
court. Right, So we'll see
soon what happens. You can only speculate

25
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.319
what's going on. Kind just kind
of made me look like a goofball because

26
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.040
I was just some guys this morning
that Tommy's done getting guys until we find

27
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:56.239
out what's happening with Caleb Love,
right right. Well, you know,

28
00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.439
we don't don't say too much.
I told you that five letes ago,

29
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.840
but yeah, you know, and
that for he went to Campbell, which

30
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.240
is the same place that Cedric Canderson
went. That they came here and played

31
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:13.840
for a year before leaving. These
guys a couple of years of altability left.

32
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.120
Yeah, okay, all right,
Austin and college ball. Tad Boyle,

33
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.520
Colorado's head coach, adding Danny Manning
to the Colorado basketball staff. And

34
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.240
what's the connection with the U with
the U of A. Yeah, U

35
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.240
of his son is an assistant coach
or assistant here for Tommy Lloyd. Yeah,

36
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.199
so he's been so Danny Manning was
a lot of the games. I

37
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:36.800
don't know if you knew that.
I didn't know that. Yeah, he

38
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.280
was, especially with the tournament.
They were at tournament. Andy Manny and

39
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.039
I are old friends. Really,
I covered the eighty eight final for so

40
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.879
he was at a lot of the
games. And now his son is under

41
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.759
Tommy and now he's going to Colorado. All right, So maybe it was

42
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.719
because he was a head coach where
Kenz Danny Manning was the coach of Kansas

43
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.599
did Buffalo Kansas and and Tad Boyle
and then were teammates for a long time

44
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.599
ago Colorado many candas, I'm sorry, many years boy played with Danny Manning

45
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.800
the Ken long time ago in mid
eighties. Oh okay, how old do

46
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.240
you think Danny Manny is? Well, he's like Steve kerrz Age little fifty

47
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.039
fifty seven, Yeah, fifty seven. So I was wondering maybe he just

48
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.479
wanted to see his son. Now
he's not in Colorado's now in a different

49
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.560
the eg On Nono, they're coming, okay, so so coming with Arizona,

50
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.759
so they'll be in the same conference. Right just now, Rudy Gobert

51
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.360
tied the NBA record with his fourth
Defensive Player of the ear aword, beating

52
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:42.919
out Women Yama's French mate. Pretty
not unanimous, but pretty once. Sorry

53
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.840
I blew that one. I'm sorry
you did, but that I'm sorry.

54
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.120
I should have just let that go. I couldn't help myself. No one

55
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.400
of our calls. I messed that
one up. But we don't. I

56
00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:00.879
do it every day, seventy two
first places, winning his fourth time,

57
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.960
and he did play last night.
Did not play last night. They didn't

58
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.120
need him, and we didn't.
We didn't get around to web on Yama,

59
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.840
who was the rooking unanimous rookie year
or did we talk about that yesterday?

60
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.959
We did off the here, off
the here, okay. Also Jamal

61
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:20.399
Murray, we touched on it a
little bit earlier through the heat pack on

62
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:26.560
the court. Uh. The NBA
is investigating if they're going to suspend them.

63
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.920
He does a heat Chick. That
was the one shot he made last

64
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:36.240
night. Good Adam, you've we've
come up rubbed out. That's a good

65
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.240
one. Sorry to see you go. Yeah, yeah, just in time.

66
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.079
Another one, Steve another another grasshopper
going on his way, Chick the

67
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.199
box. I did another reference on
that one. Do you grasshopper? No,

68
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.279
no, no, no no.
I can't say kunng Fu Man kung

69
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:59.000
Fu the show Told Your Death seventy
three. He would know kung Fu THEWN

70
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.439
We called you grasshopper today and he'll
know what we're talking about. Oh yeah,

71
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:09.000
I'll let him know. Rashid Rice
under investigation again for allegedly hitting a

72
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:15.360
photographer on at a Dallas club early
Monday. So he's the guy that wrecked

73
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.680
the Yeah, did they cut him? They definitely cut him, didn't they

74
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.959
know? They didn't cut him.
No, they're gonna cut him. It's

75
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:26.079
piling on like they should. Yeah, right in jail. Sometimes this is

76
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.120
the problem. If you're good,
if you're really good, Yeah, they

77
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.720
find ways to keep you. Yeah
they do. Which he's only twenty three,

78
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.120
just picked. He was a rookie
last year. So they need receivers.

79
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.480
But obviously I don't see how they
don't need these kind of receivers,

80
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:46.959
right, so it's not it's not
looking good as the Astros. GM says

81
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:50.839
they don't expect to sell this.
He says the team is too good despite

82
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.800
being ten games under thirty four games
in twelve, you gave you gave him

83
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.240
the kiss of death, you and
Francisco. That was the purpose purpose visit

84
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.240
that Francisco, let me give him
the kiss the exactly exactly. They're terrible,

85
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:12.480
yeah, twelve and said that with
a smile. They did. I

86
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.399
didn't even have to look at him. I just felt it that he was

87
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:20.399
smiling when he said that. Okay. Also, the Tennessee Titans signed Tyler

88
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.199
Boyd one year, four and a
half million dollar deal. He leaves the

89
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.720
Bengals. Titans have a nice receiving
crew. Now, yeah, but their

90
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.519
quarterback is Will Levis. Is he
really that good? He had that one

91
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:38.279
good game? Yeah? First,
right, but then yeah, they're they're

92
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.240
all going crazy saying, oh they
the Titans are something now like wait a

93
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.160
minute, you still have a quarterback? You know, I don't know,

94
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.399
okay. And then the Knicks versus
Pacers last night, refs made four airs

95
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:55.959
in Game one ending, but they
said not on the controversial screen the last

96
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.319
two minute, because you what,
I want to have been sleeping on this

97
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.079
one? Who won the game?
We don't even next next squeaked them out?

98
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:05.120
Yeah, well, good for them. Did you have the boy o

99
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:16.600
Caitlin Clark thing, ted Ted Doyle, I mean do animals. Yeah,

100
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:21.279
he's been suspended for a couple of
weeks. Good has decided to come in

101
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:25.240
and step in and give them me
and he can't and he can't cover the

102
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.639
team. He's a creeper for that
reason. You know that reason. Even

103
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.480
if he was trying to be funny, you didn't worry. Yeah, that

104
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:38.759
stuff doesn't fly. No, No, yeah, okay. That was pretty

105
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.759
much all I've seen so far,
unless you guys want to add anything else.

106
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.160
No, but there's still been buzz, a big buzz for the for

107
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.199
the Bowl game. Obviously a lot
of people. I asked her. I

108
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:56.000
asked uh Cam a question yesterday in
addition to yours about you know, there's

109
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.600
a lot of positivity, but there
could be some negativity. I've saw,

110
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.240
I've seen some negative and I'll show, I'll show, I'll send it to

111
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.839
you and it won't be a surprise. Who said, well, because of

112
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.759
the connotations well more than anything though. This is one of those you know,

113
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:15.800
if you know, all news is
good news because airs on a bull

114
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.279
needs visibility. Look, I certainly
don't think that the blowback is more than

115
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.680
no barstool, no right, No, I know that at the break the

116
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.439
breakfast that I was at this morning
that with business, everybody was talking about

117
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.080
it's a big girl. All talking
about about Snoop Dogg. Whether it was

118
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.360
in a joke, you know,
or you know, when Snoop Dogg going

119
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.120
to be on your show. People
were buzzing about the whole Snoop Dogg thing

120
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:41.919
and sort you know. And these
are all you know, mostly you know,

121
00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.759
fifties and older guys who you know, uh, you know talking about

122
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.080
Snoop Dogg. So I in the
end, I think it's going to be.

123
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.960
In the end, it's a win
win win win, huge win,

124
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.320
no question for especially if they have
like and I think the kids, the

125
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.320
kids that we talked about. There's
a concert, halftime, pre game whatever

126
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.960
with with a group of his buddies. Yeah, there's some packball softball awards

127
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:16.679
coming out right now. Taylor Beale
at Arizona, the uh shortstop, I

128
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:24.240
guess she's a co Defensive Player of
the Year along with Paige Sneaki from Oregon.

129
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:30.000
The u c l A coach is
the Coach of the Year uh and

130
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:35.159
the u c l A players the
Freshman of the Year. I'm just reading

131
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.879
these off of off of their their
Twitter feed. I haven't seen a news

132
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.159
release with all this. Let me
ask you did did the women who left

133
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.519
here to go to u c l
A was that last year? Did still

134
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.559
playing? Yeah? They're still playing. Yeah. In fact, you know,

135
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.799
Hanson had a comment in in in
one of his columns about what's your

136
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.440
name? The outfielder, the lead
She was the lead off hereter here became

137
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.399
the nine hereter u c l A. And now there was a game where

138
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.240
in the last inning against Arizona and
they put a pinch hitter in for her

139
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.440
and saying like, okay, it's
obviously not going as well as she probably

140
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:20.639
would have hoped. You know when
she left here, Janelle that you know,

141
00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.840
you know she would never would have
been pinched. Well, sometimes it's

142
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.919
nice to be a big fish in
a small pond, and you know,

143
00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:33.080
in Arizona's not a small pond,
and you softball, so you know,

144
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.799
it was interesting that you know that
that was noted the pitcher of the years

145
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.840
from Stanford, so uh and player
of Thermaya Brady from u c. L

146
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.600
A. Is just really good.
If you ever seen her play, she

147
00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.080
just does all the things. So
there you go. Yeah, we were

148
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.480
talking yesterday. It's likely, we
think likely that they should be able to

149
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.639
get into the into the Yeah,
you know they're there. They finished fifth

150
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.000
place in the league. You know, the PAC twelve should get five or

151
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.240
six teams in the tournament. Anyways, I think they're still ranked, so

152
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.200
I would I would expect that they
they'd get in. The question is you

153
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.960
know for Arizona they'll getting in.
Your part of getting it is hosting,

154
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.919
you know, to be able to
host. If they're you know, on

155
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.360
the road, then that's sort of
a not quite as not quite where you

156
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:24.919
want to be if you're Arizona.
Right. So, oh, here's when

157
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:31.960
Emily Shep from Arizona is on the
all freshman team, so there's there's people

158
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.360
coming through it. So anyways,
so we'll get more on that as they

159
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.159
when there. Whenever they announce the
whole thing or whenever we get the release,

160
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.840
it's got the whole thing. So
anyways, all right, well that's

161
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.120
it, yep. Okay, what
do we have coming up or Justin Yeah,

162
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.679

on the phone, we have Justin
Spears from the Arizona Daily Star. Are

237
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:04.079
you doing just that's how we're doing? Well? Have you caught up?

238
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.880
It seems like it's always busy.
Your byline's all over the place in this

239
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.319
town. Yeah, it's a busy, bisny time of year. And of

240
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:19.640
course with the transfer portal, that
adds a whole nother element to covering college

241
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:22.880
football. So they're keeping me busy
until the summer. They're definitely getting the

242
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.440
moneys worth out of me at the
Arizonadaily Star, that's for sure. Well,

243
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.279
it's become a you know, three
hundred and sixty five day a year

244
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.880
job now, and then it's it's
kind of hard. So let's first go,

245
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.599
let's go to spring ball. You
know, just general impressions, uh,

246
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.000
you know, you know it's Brent
Brandan's first, uh first spring ball

247
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.599
at Arizona. Just in general,
what did it look like to you?

248
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.160
Because it looked a lot of the
same to me. Sure, And by

249
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.880
the way, I do apologize my
phone has been dealing with some issues and

250
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.160
the battery stink. So if I
actually hang up on you, guys,

251
00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.880
I promise you it's that's not me, it's this damn phone. So I

252
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.359
apologize if I do hang up on
you. But you know, regarding Brent

253
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.160
Brennan, the you know, in
terms of the same stuff, yeah,

254
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.599
because there's a lot of the same
people. You know, you got No

255
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.440
Fafia, your star quarterback, you
got Team Act, your star wide receiver.

256
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.200
You know, the best quarterback receiver
tandem arguably in college football back and

257
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.359
they were the ones who galvanized most
of the team and the nucleus, the

258
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.799
players that were part of the twenty
twenty three team. And so yeah,

259
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.359
I mean, I think a big
reason why you're seeing a lot of the

260
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:37.599
same stuff is because of the fact
that Arizona has a lot of players back

261
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.960
from twenty twenty three. Came in
and honestly, I think that you know,

262
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.720
the coaches realize that you know,
the previous staff, Jetfish and company.

263
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:52.759
They did a great job of rebuilding
the roster, getting the team back

264
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.039
into a player first relevant again.
And you know, Brent Bent will be

265
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.279
the first one to tell you,
like what jetfish and has got this here.

266
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:02.440
Were great. Now we're looking to
double down on it and build on

267
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:06.480
to what they already established. You
So, can you after a few practices

268
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:10.759
fifteen or whatever, and just from
the temperament of everybody, can you tell

269
00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.480
that they're going to be better than
last year? Or is it way too

270
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.400
early to tell? I think it's
still way too early to tell, because

271
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.400
I'm still concerned with the guys they
have on the defensive line because they lost

272
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:30.160
nine scholarship players from the defensive line
last year and all of them are starters.

273
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.240
You know, Arizona's gonna have a
whole new starting defensive line in this

274
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:38.079
upcoming season. So can those guys
still be able to be productive like the

275
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.319
group they had last years? That's
one thing that I'm paying attention to.

276
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:47.319
But I'm very confident in what they
got right now because ty tay Yuga is

277
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:51.359
a versatile defensive lineman who I think
is really going to turn the heads this

278
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:56.279
year. And then you have all
Mountain West defensive end from Santa s State

279
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:00.039
and Tray Smith who has shown a
lot of great things practice, and you

280
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.000
know, and one thing I won't
say that gives Arizona fans a lot of

281
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.000
optimism regarding deeps. The line is. You know, last year Isaiah A.

282
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:10.480
Ward wasn't on anybody's radar, and
then he just shot up the depth

283
00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:15.319
chart and really became a mainstay in
Arizona's defense. Big Bill Norton, you

284
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.880
know, he transferred to Georgia or
excuse he transferred to Arizona from Georgia.

285
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.319
And we're wondering, is that because
Georgia has such a great defensive line or

286
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:29.440
is it because in terms of his
production and what he showed. Is that

287
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:32.720
because Georgia has a great defensive line, or is it because Bill Norton's dead?

288
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.599
And it showed last year that no, Bill Norton's good. Georgia just

289
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:38.880
had a great defensive line. He
just needed an opportunity. So the guys

290
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:42.519
that they're getting in the transferportal,
like Chewba, my Eye and Trey Smith

291
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.920
and all these other guys, I
think if they can come in and be

292
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.279
productive, I think Arizona's defense is
gonna be great again. Because Jakob Manu

293
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.240
at linebacker, I mean, Danny
Gonzale is the offer of the linebackers.

294
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:57.559
Coach. He said that Jacoman,
who is the best linebacker in the Big

295
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:03.160
twelve. And then when you add
in Trade and Stokes to Caario Davis,

296
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.079
Gunnermaldonado and Dalton Johnson, most of
that defensive secondary coming back and they're gonna

297
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.359
be blitzing more under Dwayna Kina.
I think this defense could be really special.

298
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:15.279
And then we all know about Noah
and Timac on the other side,

299
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.079
but you know, who are the
other complimentary pieces. Who are you know,

300
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.680
some other wide receivers that are going
to step up? Who are some

301
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.119
running backs? Because remember Arizona's losing
Michael Wiley, DJ Williams and Jonah Coleman

302
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:30.079
so well Speedy Luke and Quality Conley. Will those guys step up and have

303
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.079
big time seasons? So there's a
few question marks, But right now,

304
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:38.519
I look at this Arizona football team
being really a surefire top fifteen, top

305
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.480
twenty two. You know, again
with all the transfer portal movement, a

306
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.559
guy leaves, another guy comes in, and Kevin Green is gone. They

307
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:51.160
you know, they get another receiver. Are these things kind of like trade

308
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.119
offs? Is that? Is that
how you see a lot of this stuff.

309
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.599
I mean, you can look at
it like that, but you know,

310
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.200
Kevin who's going to be a guy
competing for starting snaps right? You

311
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.680
know, is Ray Melo Murphy a
guy that's going to come in and start

312
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.359
or is he going to be another
depth piece, a guy that you could

313
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.519
just throw in, you know if
one guy gets hurt, I don't know.

314
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:19.039
Now you also have to think that
you know, Kevin Green probably just

315
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:26.160
wanted to go to Kevin Cummings or
in Jet Fish, and he probably felt

316
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.720
most comfortable with that staff and realized, you know, even though I may

317
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.599
have a good thing here, I
can have something better at Washington. So

318
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:40.839
everyone has their own arguments or cases
as to why they're going. But I

319
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:45.319
mean Raymelo Murphy. You look at
his explosiveness last year at Old Dominion.

320
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:48.039
I think he was top thirty in
the country and yards per catch, So

321
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.880
he's a he's a pretty good audition. Just because you're losing Kevin Green doesn't

322
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.720
mean that you know your wide receiver
room is is crumbling right now. I

323
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.680
think Arizona's receiver room is in a
great spot. And a lot of the

324
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:07.480
youngsters in springs Ball, like Brandon
Phelps the freshman and Jackson Holeman who got

325
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:10.160
banked up towards the end of the
spring, those guys showed a lot of

326
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.759
promise. So I know people talk
about t mac as the main guy,

327
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:17.279
but Arizona's receiver room is in a
really good place, not just this year,

328
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:22.880
but also moving forwards. Uh guys
not named t mac or or Fafita

329
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.319
who were maybe a key guy that
returned that will help him next year,

330
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:32.160
that didn't decided not to leave.
Well, I mean, I'm an offensive

331
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:37.160
lion snob, so I really think
that big Jonas Savianea that was that was

332
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.000
big time getting him to stay in, to stay locked in. Same with

333
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:47.960
Raymond Palito. I think those two
as your as your bookend tackles is a

334
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.759
really good recipe for Arizona. But
outside of the guys on the offensive line,

335
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:56.400
I think the tight ends are really
going to emerge this year. And

336
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:02.640
I really think that Roberto Miranda,
the guy from Germany who's entering his fifth

337
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:04.079
year at the u of A.
I don't know if you guys know this,

338
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.720
but we have a nickname for him, since he's from Germany. We

339
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:14.440
call him dos Gronk, and dos
Gronk is a man amongst boys. The

340
00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:17.240
coaches will even tell you, like
Brent Brady said that when he first met

341
00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:22.720
Roberto, he thought like he was
a like a staffer or like a coach

342
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.799
or something like that, because he
just looked like a man compared to everybody

343
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.519
else. But you know, Roberto, he's an interesting story because you know,

344
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:33.240
he was a guy in Germany who
was just run track and one of

345
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:34.920
his buddies said, Hey, are
school's having football trayofs you want to come

346
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.000
play? And he said, yeah, sure, So he went discovered his

347
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:42.680
passion for football, and then he
was so good that he started getting recruited

348
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:45.400
and started getting letters, and then
he came over to Arizona as a Kevin

349
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:48.920
summer recruit in twenty twenty. And
think about this, a guy from Germany

350
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:52.880
going over to the United States in
the middle of a pandemic. He was

351
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.400
going through all sorts of things over
here, and despite the multiple coaching changes,

352
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:03.319
he stayed locked in and in the
spring, he has showed his abilities

353
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:07.319
to be pass catcher. He's been
mostly a run blocking or pass blocking tight

354
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.480
end. Anytime you see him in
the game, he was mostly used to

355
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:14.559
block. He's only got one catch
in his whole Arizona career, but he

356
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.160
has showed a lot of promise in
spring, and I think with you know,

357
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.119
Brent, brentan tweaking the offense a
little bit and going more twelve personnel

358
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:23.680
and having two tight ends out there, you're gonna be in this. You're

359
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.799
gonna be seeing a lot more of
Roberto, Miranda and Cambernet. But Roberto,

360
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:32.480
you know, only one catch at
Arizona in his four years. You're

361
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:34.279
gonna see that man have double digit
catches. He's gonna be a really big

362
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:37.200
time addition to Arizona's offense. Well, we talked about, you know,

363
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.960
what's going to be different. I
mean, I think clearly that's gonna be

364
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.960
one of the things. I mean, you know, dating back to Grom

365
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.000
people have been dying, you know, and coach has been saying, we're

366
00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:48.759
gonna get the ball to the tight
end. We're gonna get the ball to

367
00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:51.920
the tight end. All through Rich
rod Well, nobody. They didn't get

368
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.680
the ball to Anybody called Kevin,
someone was here. But then uh,

369
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:59.359
you know with uh you finally saw
with Tanne McLachlin last year. I mean,

370
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.440
that's something that we're going to see
that's going to be a lot different

371
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:07.079
in terms of you know, Roberto
mentioned it during the postgame spring game press

372
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.640
conference that the tight Ends, as
he said, are getting a lot of

373
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:15.720
love this with this group. Yeah, and it's they're getting really creative too

374
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.240
with the tight Ends. They're you
know, motioning them and having Roberto going

375
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.880
and lining up as a fullback and
being a league walker for speedy Luke or

376
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:33.640
quality. Oh there goes the phone. Yeah, we lost him. He

377
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:38.880
warned us that that guy. Let
me ask you the same question. I

378
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:41.880
asked him, do you think that
this team, as little as we know,

379
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:45.319
right, yeah, will be better
than last year year? Well,

380
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.720
you know, they're they're going through
a lot of change, but so is

381
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:51.559
everybody else, right, everybody.
Everybody's roster's turning over. I was,

382
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:56.440
I was going through. Uh.
The Athletic posted. Eric Wasserman posted his

383
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.000
latest uh you know, top twenty
five for next year. The highest rated

384
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:04.119
team had in the Big twelve was
Kansas State, followed I think at fifteen,

385
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:10.440
followed by Arizona at nineteen. You
know, and Arizona plays Kansas State

386
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:15.079
in a non conference game in the
third game of the year. So we're

387
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.440
gonna find out something about, Okay, who's really good in the in the

388
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:22.279
Big twelve and next year that game
is over there, it's up there.

389
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:27.319
It's the third week of the season. You know we're gonna find out early.

390
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:32.400
You know, where does Arizona sit
in the Big twelve if in fact

391
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:37.319
Kansas State is that good and considered
the best team, you know, the

392
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.920
best team out there in the league. So we'll see. I mean,

393
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.519
I think they're still pretty good.
Steve the question. Look, there's always

394
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.160
some getting used to each other,
you know, when it comes to actually

395
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:56.200
being in games right. You know, it's different from last year because you

396
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.680
know, the way maybe the way
Brent Brennan and his staff run manage a

397
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.920
game might be different from the way
these guys that you know did it under

398
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.480
Jed Fish. But you know it's
a coach's job to try and minimize as

399
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:11.240
much as they can of that to
make things go as smoothly as possible.

400
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:15.200
I think the biggest difference will be
on the defensive flight. Like you said,

401
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.200
I think the offense is going to
continue to flow. I think the

402
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.359
biggest gloss that they have, and
I thought he was fantastic, was Coleman

403
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.680
who went to Jed because he was
such a workhorse. Just you give him

404
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:32.240
the ball used to get you six
yards no matter what. And defensively they

405
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:34.359
have their pieces right except for like
you said, maybe on the defensive money.

406
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.640
Yeah, but then you know,
you know what effect does Duayna Keena

407
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.839
have on this defense in terms of
making these guys, as Duyne Keene used

408
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.240
to talk about, you know,
guys running around with their hair on fire.

409
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.640
Does he get guys to play a
little harder, a little more enthusiasm,

410
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:55.920
a little smarter, a little more
passionate. How much does that elevate

411
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.279
you know, what they're trying to
do in terms of or what their talent

412
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.000
that they have, because that was
that was what Arizona was when Dwayne and

413
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:07.440
Keenan was was here as a defensive
coordinator and an offensive coordinator, getting guys

414
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.200
to be better than you thought they
could, coaching him up and yeah,

415
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.519
coached him up, and that's you
know, I'm certain he's probably bringing that

416
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.960
back, you know, to to
this and then Dino Babers doing the same

417
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.079
thing on the other side of the
ball. So you know, I think,

418
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.279
you know, well, we'll find
out again relatively early with that Kansas

419
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.079
State game. I was just really
reading that about you know, reading that,

420
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.720
I thought, God, this Kansas
State game is suddenly a really big

421
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.799
deal for Arizona because if they go
off and they go up there and win

422
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.359
that game, now you're talking about
a team that people are talking about as

423
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.640
a as a potential favorite in the
pack in the Big twelve. Right.

424
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.799
I thought the other guy that they
got, which was a great get,

425
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:48.640
was to Cario Davis. To get
him back, to get him back.

426
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:51.559
It's important even though the dbs are
going to be very good, right,

427
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:53.960
he adds to the list of good
players, right right, And you know

428
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:57.519
that again, guy, Getting guys
like that, uh, you know,

429
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:00.519
is important to this team, and
you know, keeping the guys, you

430
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.920
know, I didn't realize I saw
that there was a somebody. Fifteen guys

431
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.039
went to Washington from Arizona. Now, how many of them were guys that

432
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.759
you know, top you know,
top end got their a couple of recruits,

433
00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.079
as you mentioned, Jonah Coleman went
there. We just talked about,

434
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:19.480
you know, Kevin Green, you
know some other guys. But it's kind

435
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.279
of like, Okay, they're gone. How can you blame them right now?

436
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.440
I mean they know what they know, they can they know their coaches

437
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.240
go ahead. I don't get into
the you know, shame on you,

438
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.200
Jed, But now no, no, it is what you know. I

439
00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:33.319
don't care. You know, look, Arizona got a bunch of Santos.

440
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:38.160
They state guys, right and you
know, hopefully the best of the best.

441
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:41.759
At Sanders they state you don't have. Well, they wouldn't have taken

442
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.599
them if they weren't, if they
didn't think they could compete at this level,

443
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.839
right, And that's kind of in
the world we live in. It's

444
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:49.880
all about leveling up where you can
play and how you feel comfortable. Now

445
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:56.160
I'm looking forward to before before Justin's
phone died, I wanted to I wanted

446
00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.559
to ask him, you know what, what are fans going to think of

447
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.519
Brent Brandon? You know, when
they see him on the sideline, they

448
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:06.319
see him, you know, actually
coaching, you see him in press conferences,

449
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:07.960
what do you think of it?
I think the goodes. I think

450
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:14.000
he's gonna be dick tomy like he's
very not sedate, but he's very uh

451
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:18.000
low key. Doesn't get excited.
Even in his press conferences there are more

452
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.240
about hey, this is what we're
gonna do. He doesn't get excited in

453
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:26.279
those either. Kind of tells you
straightforward not an exciting way. It's almost

454
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.799
not in a boring way, but
but in a in a friend almost a

455
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.359
matter of fact kind of way.
Matter, that's a matter of fact way.

456
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:36.759
Uh, it's not. It's quotable, but not quotable, if that

457
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.640
makes any sense. Some days,
yes, some days no, it's gonna

458
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.200
be back. You want it back. You want to me to coach?

459
00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:45.920
You got got him? You got
him? No, you got him.

460
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.599
And guess what, he'll win some
games. It's now about winning the big

461
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.960
games. Yeah. Well, and
then then the question will be, look,

462
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:57.000
well, you know Jed Fish and
his staff were incredible recruiters. They

463
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.920
got some guys here that you did
you know, especially coming out of the

464
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.920
the death March that they were in
that you've got guys to come here and

465
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.440
did. I mean, he couldn't
turn it around if you hadn't gotten better

466
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.359
players. So you got to give
him credit for that. A big question

467
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:17.400
for me is Ken, Brent Brandon, continue to recruit at that level because

468
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.200
you were we only got too many
stuff in this one. I know,

469
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:22.119
I'm gonna ask you a dumb question. I think I know the answer too

470
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:30.039
already. You're not. You didn't
come off bitter when he left. No,

471
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:34.079
I didn't blame him for leaving.
I kind of didn't like the way

472
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.359
it went down. But in terms
of Jedfish going to Washington, I had

473
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.480
no problem with that. He had
seven and a half million reasons to go.

474
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:44.960
Sure, I get that. There's
still no issue with that. There

475
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:45.960
still a lot of people in this
town who are but they need to stop.

476
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:51.440
I agree they need to stop.
You know, were months removed.

477
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:53.759
Let's move on you. You are
who you are. Somebody's gonna give you

478
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:58.960
a five million dollar raise. You're
gonna go, sure, and no matter

479
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:00.920
where you're at, well, I'll
probably go to anywhere. But as U,

480
00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:05.240
I don't know about that. I
think you would do that. No,

481
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.240
I would five million dollars more.
No, that's easy to say sitting

482
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:13.599
next to me. Okay, if
I'm making if I'm making two and a

483
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.880
half or three million, which is
plenty of money, all the money I

484
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.920
w whatever need'm they're gonna give you
seven and a half. I'm gonna tell

485
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:21.279
me, I don't know. I'm
gonna throw the finger. Put the light

486
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:24.039
detecked her on him right now,
strive him up. I am I'm throwing

487
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.039
the finger. I told you my
daughter got a full ride to a CEO

488
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:32.200
you never even saw. She never
even saw that one in recycle before she

489
00:33:32.319 --> 00:33:37.759
even got home from school. That
boves her, doesn't involve you. We

490
00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.720
gotta fact check that one true story. Okay, let's go, we gotta

491
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.519
go. That's a true story.
All right, Let's take our next break

492
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:46.039
word and come back. I'd love
to take your calls five to zero,

497
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:02.160
era in my new book, Lessons
from Loot. It was a labor of

498
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.880
love through the eyes of twenty five
former players, coaches and friends to give

499
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.159
insight to the coach and the man
who led them, competed against them,

500
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:14.800
and inspired them twenty five chapters for
his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

501

541
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.119
have some movie? Yeah? Okay. So we got the release on the

542
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:27.440
All Pack twelve team as it relates
to Arizona. Three first teamers, Dakota

543
00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:32.199
Kennedy left fielder, Reagan Shaki,
the freshman centerfielder who's really good, and

544
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.800
then Ali Skaggs, the second baseman. She was named to the All Pack

545
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.239
twelve team, the first team I
think for the second year in a row.

546
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:45.559
But those are the three first teamers. Ali Skaggsho was Defensive Player of

547
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:47.679
the Year this year, didn't get
Defensive Player of the Year because her teammate

548
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:52.360
Taylor Beiald, a shortstop, did
get. She was a co Defensive Player

549
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.159
of the Year. And she was
also on the on the third team and

550
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:01.719
on the All Defensive team. And
then Carly Scoop in first baseman and a

551
00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:06.599
Yasta Silva the pitcher. We're named
to the second team. Silva's leads the

552
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.280
league with twenty one wins. She's
fourteenth in the n C Double A and

553
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:15.280
wins, so she's got she So
they were both second team. And then

554
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:19.320
has mentioned Taylor bille the co Defensive
Player of the Year. Then Emily Shep

555
00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.159
she was named to the All Freshman
team. So seven uf A players had

556
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:29.000
got some sort of all conference honor. So that's the complete list. Well

557
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:32.679
some good things scooping. Uh we
had our guy, uh, Bobby Bobby

558
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:37.920
four years ago already, yep.
Do we just celebrate her four years?

559
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.760
How time flies? Yes, because
she was a study coming in from the

560
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:45.039
local local touson high right high,
I think yeah. And now her career

561
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:49.199
is all a bit over, she's
a senior. But anyway, so you

562
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.239
know is good again this year.
Not Arizona good when you think about the

563
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.199
Mike the Mike Candre years. But
nonetheless, uh, we'll probably get in

564
00:38:57.239 --> 00:38:59.719
the n C Double A tournament.
The question is that, you know,

565
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:01.599
I don't think they're going to be
good enough to you know, be a

566
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:07.920
top sixteen seed or in host a
regional. But you know, who knows.

567
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:10.199
But they're you know, they're pretty
good. So they'll be what we'll

568
00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.519
see them in the postseason, I'm
sure. Yeah, okay, cool,

569
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.239
A lot of good players. I
mean, honestly, the shortstop is must

570
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:21.480
be fantastic. Yeah yeah, and
then went well and and shocky the center

571
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:24.519
fielder. She's the lead off hereter
centerfielder. She's fast as hell? Who

572
00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:30.719
is what? What? Great is
the shortstop sophomore? So I gotta go.

573
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:34.559
I should have gone. See I
love those people in midfielders. Yeah,

574
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.119
the one to the short stop and
second basement would be a great combination.

575
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:39.679
Yeah yeah, well that at least
I think else is a senior.

576
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:45.480
Yeah yeah, so wow, so
she'll be gone, Okay, super yeah,

577
00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:47.199
but you know, good, you
know, good, good for them,

578
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.199
good for they play, you know, they played this weekend. They

579
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:53.559
play Thursday, they've got Washington.
They're the last game of the day in

580
00:39:53.639 --> 00:39:57.320
the packed Doug turn I think it's
like scheduled for six thirty or so.

581
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:01.280
Yeah, yeah, I think it
starts Thursday and it goes yeah yeah,

582
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:06.840
yeah, there's four games on on
Thursday, and so they're they're they're the

583
00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.360
last one on the list and that
that tournament is up at Stanford. Okay,

584
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:13.760
a lot of things going on now
at the end of the year with

585
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:16.760
baseball doing so well. Next week, right, they start up their tournament

586
00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:20.440
next week. No, No,
they've got no weekends. Yeah, they're

587
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.199
They're on the road at Utah,
which is a turnament, which is uh,

588
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:27.360
you know for for Utah's in the
second place, so Arizona. I

589
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.760
don't know if they can clinch it, but certainly if they if they put

590
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:34.480
some distance between themselves in Utah being
good position to do them. But then

591
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.440
Oregon State comes in. Oregon State, I mean, they're like in third

592
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:42.519
place in the league, but they're
the highest ranked team in the rankings.

593
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.599
They're they're a top ten team.
They'll be coming here for a three game

594
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.760
series that in its rank season next
weekend. We you know, we had

595
00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:52.039
a collar yesterday he said, you
know, fans need to get out there,

596
00:40:52.159 --> 00:40:53.320
right, maybe that's what I probably
go see it because this should be

597
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:58.360
fun. They're fun. I've been
a few games this year and it's just

598
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:02.800
fun. It's a it's a blast. The food is good. Now you

599
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.800
can spend a fortune on food out
there because they've got they got some exotic

600
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:12.360
food out there, like the servisas. They've got a they've got a stand

601
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:19.559
where you can get the like the
deluxe nachos and burritos and all that and

602
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.679
stuff. Or you can just go
get your standard, you know, get

603
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.000
a couple of dogs and a beer
at the at the regular stands, some

604
00:41:25.119 --> 00:41:29.320
nachos. You'll probably do that next
week in sixteen seventeen. Yeah, it

605
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:31.440
should be fun. And then uh, and then they go into the Pack

606
00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:35.599
into the Packbuff Tournament, which is
going to be up in Phoenix the following

607
00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:38.519
week, so that their their season
got extended, uh you know, because

608
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:42.159
I mean the College World Series ends
like at the end of June, right

609
00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:46.079
right, it seems like if you're
a baseball player, the the year agost

610
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:50.280
forever. Yeah, whatever, those
guys are done with school for a month

611
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:53.480
before their season ends. If they
if they get that one. Okay,

612
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:57.719
so should be right, man,
Okay, what else is going on?

613
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:00.920
So we we're finishing up. Anybody, we'll call again, call five two

614
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:02.480
O four one six four four zero. We'd love to hear from you.

615
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:07.159
What game is tonight in the NBA
game tonight Austin and Cleveland the first game

616
00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:12.039
right now? The first game Boston's
up forty two thirty four. And then

617
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:15.519
tonight Dallas is on the road at
Oklahoma City. Especiuld be very good.

618
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:21.000
Seriously is that one just starting that
series? That's tonight, that's game one

619
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:24.360
at six thirty. Ye. So
ol clem See is the number one seed

620
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:28.679
right in right in the west.
Yeah, what do you think? They're

621
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.800
young? But they swept the New
Orleans. I think that they the five

622
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:36.000
of us could have swept New Orleans
while there's only four of us here.

623
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:45.079
Christ On points we got to call
it talking crazy stopping right now. Hi,

624
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:47.159
you're on the Aaron Eye on the
ball. Hey, guys, how's

625
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:51.719
it going. This is Sean,
that first time caller, a longtime listener.

626
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:54.280
Appreciate it. Yeah, yeah,
I love listening to you guys.

627
00:42:55.519 --> 00:43:00.360
We have a cure for We have
a cure for that shot go ahead?

628
00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:04.599
Is there a lot of feedback insite? Is it okay? Yeah? No,

629
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:08.559
we're good. We're good. Cool. So, uh tonight's baseball game,

630
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:15.480
Summer Hill threw some some shade at
these guys es U after they beat

631
00:43:15.559 --> 00:43:19.960
us. They swept us last time
here. I'm I'm nervous about it now.

632
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:22.960
You know what are you? What
are your guys thoughts about you know,

633
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:25.559
saying well, we want to beat
him by a hundred. I believe

634
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:30.480
it. I love it. But
it's also like throwing fire gasoline on the

635
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:34.480
fire that we don't need to Well, I'm with you. Is that in

636
00:43:34.639 --> 00:43:37.320
that? You know what, especially
in a rivalry. Is it a conference

637
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:42.119
game and it's not a conference game, but nonetheless, but you don't want

638
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:44.719
to go up there and get your
butts kicked, especially when you've been talking.

639
00:43:44.880 --> 00:43:47.320
So I it's you know, to
me, it's better left alone.

640
00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:50.960
But you know, yeah, you
gotta appreciate the passion or whatever. Right,

641
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.159
Yeah, definitely got my interest.
I know where my my eyeballs are

642
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:59.599
gonna be. It's not gonna be
on NBA. It's gonna be uh watching

643
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:01.599
that. You know. Have you
been going to the games here locally?

644
00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:07.559
Yeah? Yeah, my son and
I actually caught uh Friday against Stanford.

645
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.800
We we didn't make it the whole
time. That game is just took forever.

646
00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:16.440
It's just crazy like Saturday's game.
You know. I look at my

647
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:22.280
son had his baseball game at seven
thirty at you know all and I,

648
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:23.480
you know, I listened to the
game all the way there, and I'm

649
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:29.760
like seven thirty and they're already in
the fifth, like it was like eight

650
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:32.840
twenty. When we finally got past
the fifth on Friday. It's just like,

651
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:38.199
yeah, it's just it was a
long, long game. But I

652
00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:43.639
listened to a different color. Yeah, I think it was maybe yesterday.

653
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:46.400
I was talking about the crowd.
I think it's perfect. I mean there's

654
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:50.519
enough people. I'm a big guy. I don't I don't fit in the

655
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:53.920
in the stands as it is,
so when I get the two people are

656
00:44:54.079 --> 00:44:58.400
in front of us, it's perfect, you know. Yeah, so what

657
00:44:58.599 --> 00:45:00.280
we were saying, because you know, I know, you know, you

658
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.639
always want more people and that kind
of stuff, But I you know,

659
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.920
four or five thousand people. Four
thousand people for a college baseball game,

660
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:12.679
I think is pretty good. And
and you know you got it, you

661
00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:15.639
got it good and as we say, as I think we said yesterday,

662
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:22.199
you know, there's always got it
good. It'll be it'll be more as

663
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.320
we progress here to get it deep
into the or into the playoffs, because

664
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:30.320
that's how I think the Oregon State
Series is gonna So depending on how we

665
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:35.559
do, you know tonight in Utah, I think that's gonna really grab it

666
00:45:35.639 --> 00:45:39.519
should grab Tucson to cut out and
support them because we're playing the second ring

667
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:44.679
or you know, standing second place
and then in the third place teams the

668
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.400
next two weekends. Well we better
show up for that. So let me

669
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:51.840
ask you real quick, seven minutes
left, you what do you like about

670
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.800
this baseball team? It wasn't good
early, but now it's very good.

671
00:45:55.119 --> 00:46:00.559
Yeah, So I totally was not
interested in watching early and then they just

672
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:05.519
kind of turn it around. I
follow, and so it's like, Okay,

673
00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:07.159
if it's good baseball, I want
to go watch. If they're out

674
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.239
there getting you know, swept by
a s U, I don't. I'm

675
00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:13.880
I'm not a fair Weather fan,
but I don't want to go out and

676
00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:16.280
watch a SU come here and beat
us three games in a row. So

677
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:23.760
yeah, I would say, I
like, uh, the pitching, I

678
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:29.719
think pitch is pretty good. And
Mason White, he's my son's favorite player.

679
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:31.239
He's like, the guy's so fast. Yeah, I'm like, that's

680
00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:34.880
how you have to run the bases. So yeah, it's just fun to

681
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.719
go out with my son and you
know, he's so into baseball. So

682
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.920
it's, uh, it's just our
little hangout bonding. It take to go

683
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.519
and it's just it's a nice evening
sun sunset. It's just it's perfect.

684
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:50.679
I don't know, I don't know
why more people don't go. That's what

685
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:52.280
we've been talking about. Sean,
thanks so much, man, appreciate the

686
00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:55.159
call. Yeah, goodods, all
right, appreciate it. Thanks for listening

687
00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:00.440
to. His name was Sean.
Yeah, okay, thanks for that up.

688
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:04.480
Steve, Well, you make everything
else, like the assists and turnovers,

689
00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:07.000
and we don't make up assists,
all right, we don't make up

690
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:12.159
you have to. You took that
whole thing wrong, the whole thing wrong.

691
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.519
No, they're not going to like
you took that. You took that

692
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:21.719
whole thing wrong. But but he
makes it. He makes a good point,

693
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:22.960
is that you know, and and
I said that you know because when

694
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.239
we're talking to I think it was
his name was the Blair. They called

695
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:29.320
you to say, you know,
at the end of the year, it

696
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:32.079
didn't look great and you thought this
team is struggling. You know, people

697
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:36.559
were saying the Chip Hill yah YadA, YadA, YadA, and and so

698
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:38.480
maybe at the you know, since
they weren't great at the beginning of the

699
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.519
year, some people just kind of
forgot about them. But they have been

700
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.920
incredible to watch. They you know, they're seventeen and seven in the league.

701
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:49.320
You know, they're they're they're in
first place. You got a good

702
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.159
chance to win the league. I
think the last time Arizona won the league,

703
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.079
you know, they won the National
Championship. So uh, you know,

704
00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:58.519
I don't think they've won it since
that. Since that twenty twelve.

705
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:00.880
Have they gone in a second the
next year? Remember they came back with

706
00:48:01.000 --> 00:48:05.679
Johnson? Yeah, so the next
couple years. Yeah, So, I

707
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:07.960
mean, you know, this is
a good team. It's good and that

708
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:10.320
Oregon State series is going to be
it's I mean, they really got their

709
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:14.400
work cut out in these six games, you know, playing Utah who's in

710
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:15.920
second place, and then Oregon State, who was just really damn good.

711
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:21.440
So it should be an interesting couple
of weeks. We're gonna really try and

712
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:24.599
get Chip Hale on before the Oregon
State Series next week and we'll we'll just

713
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:29.000
get his take on how his season
is gone and was it I mean,

714
00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:31.760
has it been a roller coaster or
was it just like you know, where

715
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:36.400
was his head early early in the
year, right, right, It takes

716
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:39.280
some time to marinate. And they
hit. I'm sure pitching has a lot

717
00:48:39.320 --> 00:48:44.400
too in their hitting. And well, you know again, uh well we

718
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:47.079
mentioned uh Clark CANDIOTTI you know,
picture of the week, you know,

719
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:52.199
through a complete games shut out this
weekend, and he looked really good.

720
00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:55.880
I mean again, he's my favorite
pitcher. I love watching him throw because

721
00:48:55.920 --> 00:49:00.800
you're just out there in no fear. Right, He'll or whatever pitch he

722
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.320
thinks he needs to throw, and
he's going to make you hit it,

723
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.719
and it's hard to do. Every
time I've seen him pitch, he's pitched

724
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.239
great. Yeah, okay, so
cool. All right, we've got three

725
00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:13.440
minutes. Anybody else want to call? Three and a half minutes. Actually,

726
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:15.239

to us real quick. I hope,

727
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:19.559

callers that We've got a few of

728
00:49:19.599 --> 00:49:22.800

great, you know, I think people

729
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:25.880
are getting to know what Steve.
It only took four years. I'm still

730
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:30.840
wondering why people listen to us,
man, No, no, I know

731
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:34.760
people listen. It's very cool because
we see it on Facebook and we see

00:49:34.800 --> 00:49:37.119
them finance. Is that you know
