Whip. This is I on the Ball

2
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:13.560
with Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez on
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Hey, welcome

3
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.039
back to our the Ball here on
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve,

4
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.280
he's Jake. Now we have one
with breaking news. This is Eye on

5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:27.000
the Ball Breaking news on Fox Sports
fourteen fifty. Alrighty, So with some

6
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.280
Arizona basketball news. kJ Lewis has
officially announced that he was returning for the

7
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:35.560
next basketball season for Tommy Lloyd and
the Arizona Wildcats. Yeah. I think

8
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.479
it was a four gune. It
was a four gun conclusion. It was

9
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.840
a matter of when, not if. Right, he didn't get invited to

10
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.200
any of the combines. So that's
not to say that he's not going to

11
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.880
be an NBA player. Done will
and maybe after this season, right,

12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.439
you know, more time on the
court, he'll probably start. He'll get

13
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:56.759
to show his stuff more often and
in you know situations I think, well,

14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:58.880
yeah, I mean yeah last year, right, and I mean during

15
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.840
the year, even though he wasn't
starter, I mean, didn't we think

16
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:07.640
he looked like the most still likely
NBA guy on that roster, even very

17
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.599
much so, I still think he
has that much of potential. Yeah,

18
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.680
he's so, he's got Arizona was
very good with him and Bradley in the

19
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:18.079
back court. He saved him a
couple of times, in fact, almost

20
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.599
against the cumpson. I'm wondering,
you said, starter, you'd assume that,

21
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.680
right, you assume that Love comes
back. You got Bradley Love who

22
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.040
at the three because he'd be the
three r uh, And then you have

23
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.480
the previous at five, and you
have somebody at four. I don't know,

24
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.200
don't you would think that they're gonna
be verter. They've got some guys.

25
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.040
I mean, they got the kid
from Oakland. If Caleb comes back,

26
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:44.640
we haven't heard yet. Yeah,
they got the kid from Oakland.

27
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.239
They've got they got this this shooter
that they got the other day, the

28
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.519
Australian where you're from. Oh yeah, Australian. You know, we got

29
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.959
to learn that they've got They've got
they've got a lot of guys. Again,

30
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.799
how deep he goes is another thing, because he doesn't do that very

31
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.400
often or in crucial time. Well, you know, right now, looks

32
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.840
like he might have you know,
a rotation of eight maybe nine guys.

33
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.120
You know, based on who's bringing
in. But again they got to get

34
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.039
those guys on the court and see
who can play right. But you know

35
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:21.639
it's again this is this is call
it whatever you want, This is recruiting.

36
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.000
This is still part of recruiting.
He had to recruit kJ Lewis to

37
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.919
come back and give him a reason
to come back. Same with same with

38
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.240
Jayde Bradley, Uh, Caleb Love, all those guys. You know,

39
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.000
when people talk recruiting, you're recruiting
the guys from last year as well.

40
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.599
And so to get a guy like
kJ Lewis back now, you know,

41
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.879
I imagine we'll hear from Jaydon Bradley
pretty soon and Caleb Love. He's only

42
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.960
got to like the twenty ninth to
decide anyway, So he's got to decide

43
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.639
in the next week and a half
or so. Anyways. And then we

44
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.759
have a former ASU wide receiver Elijah
Badger. He narrowed down his top three

45
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.719
candidates to Arizona, Florida, and
Washington, and hence did that he chose

46
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:02.879
Florida. Yep, he did not
a shock, not a shock. Uh

47
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:09.000
you know, I mean, you
know he's going to where he's fits best.

48
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.919
I think, you know, part
of it too, you know,

49
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.439
badger probably, I'm speculated one hundred
percent speculation. He wants to be the

50
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.280
guy somewhere, right, that's why
he's leaving. As I want to be

51
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.240
the guy. I want to be
the guy in a in a in a

52
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.120
bigger pond. He comes to his
own. He's not the guy team ax

53
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.000
the guy no matter what. But
he would be a productive guy. He

54
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.800
would be he would still be productible
thrown to well, just not as much,

55
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.240
but just as much. And you'd
think that he would benefit, you

56
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.039
know, he'd get open maybe more
often because so much attention is being going

57
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.439
to be given to the team.
As I wonder the thing has closed up,

58
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.479
the portals closed. I wonder,
can we get to that portal see

59
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.199
how many people are still in there? There's still was thousands, right,

60
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.439
yeah, yeah, And a lot
of them make these decisions to go somewhere

61
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.800
and they have nowhere to do,
nowhere to go. They end up going

62
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.680
nowhere, which makes no sense because
they had a nice call situation and then

63
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.599
they end up nowhere. Yeah.
No, I We'll look that up at

64
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.159
a break or something to see how
many people are still in the part.

65
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.560
They've got to be a few thousands. Yeah, yeah, yeah, thousands

66
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.479
went in. So there's said,
we gotta be a whole bunch of left

67
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.040
right. Just real quick, before
you move on Arizona softball, the game

68
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:21.319
has begun. At the bottom of
the bottom of the first Arizona's got runners

69
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:26.079
on first and second with nobody had
Carlie scooping at the plate. Okay,

70
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.480
Mike Budenholzer had his introductory press conference
today with the Suns. You say anything

71
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.399
a little bit emotional just about being
connected back to Arizona. Yeah, overall

72
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:42.600
it was a lot more optimistic and
open minded. Yeah. One of the

73
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.600
things he made he was in the
book if you get to read it finally

74
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.079
in the next week or so,
he was in the book. He was

75
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.759
in the book maybe a time or
two. I think twice one under Brozi's

76
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.319
Brozi's chapter, because he used to
he used to. I think he came

77
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.079
to the Lou Bolson camp. I
was told he coached, he was involved

78
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.720
with. So one of the things
that he did that he took from Loot

79
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.600
was anytime he heard or got a
message from somebody, Uh, he always

80
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.279
thanked them in a personal letter.
I don't know if you get us from

81
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:16.399
Ludo would always write written written note
to say thank you for speaking of me

82
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.600
and I appreciate your time blah blah
blah, and I didn't write it.

83
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.399
So he learned that from Loot as
he became the coach he is, you

84
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.959
know, and it's got to be
It's gotta be great for Phoenix to have

85
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.560
a guy who I connected. Seem
he's he's got a connection and seems to

86
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:31.920
want to be there. Right,
He's just not you know, Okay,

87
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.360
I'll take this job because it's available. It's like, you know, Phoenix

88
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.319
is a place that he wants to
be. So that's awesome. Cardi's given

89
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:42.360
just got a base hit. Arizona
leads one zip. All right. Cool.

90
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.720
On top of Arizona softball, we
have Arizona Baseball playing tonight, as

91
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.680
we mentioned earlier, six o'clock against
the Oregon State Game two, trying to

92
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:56.040
look into even the series yep and
clinch the pack. Twef in Pact twelve.

93
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.399
Clark Candiatty going, I'll watch from
a distance, Steve. I'm getting

94
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.600
ready to order a pizza that I'll
pick up on the way home and watch

95
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.639
the game and kind of just stay
out of the way and let you know,

96
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.759
let the fate, let the fate
handle it and not you know,

97
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:16.279
be affected by my presence. That's
a good idea. Last night the Wolves

98
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:23.759
andug Nuggets played Game six another your
money line? What what the hell happened

99
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.000
last night? They just didn't play
God? I mean, that wasn't what

100
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.879
I was expecting at all. Man, you have the defending chang did Somebody

101
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.360
said they were down fifty at one
point. I think it got close to

102
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.680
fifty. They ended by forty five. It was forty five point game.

103
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.639
So Game seven this Sunday. I
love big, good sevens. I will

104
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:47.040
actually watch I'll have it. I'll
be watching that in the PGA on on

105
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.959
on Sunday because I love I love
game sevens in any sport, I really

106
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.800
do. And that's the urgency of
a game like that. And then the

107
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:59.800
Pacers trying to force another Game seven. Right. I guess the Knicks they

108
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.519
have back at home in Indiana.
What do you think one? I think

109
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:08.079
the Knicks you gonna are gonna close
close it tonight. I'll root for the

110
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.439
Pacers, of course, for McConnell
and Ben Mathin, but I think the

111
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.959
Knicks are I think they're a little
bit too mature to let it go to

112
00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:20.920
the game seven interesting and all just
uh, I was gonna go put some

113
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:27.839
money on the pacers. I mean
the next we're gonna win it, Like

114
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:31.399
you said, I hope I'm right
this time. I'm not right too often,

115
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:38.920
but last be a tie game.
You know that's not true that I

116
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.079
got, I got. I haven't
put money in my Draft Kings account in

117
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.879
a really long time, in a
really long time. Checked out. You're

118
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.680
in a business where if your mama
says she loves you, check that out.

119
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:55.680
Make sure that's true. The last
thing I have is that today we

120
00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.399
got the people got the floor reveal
for the new uh n see double a

121
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.839
college football game. What do you
mean? What does that mean? So

122
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.120
they haven't released the new game since
I think like twenty fourteen, right,

123
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:09.040
No, but also the game is
out now, No, it comes out

124
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:13.720
July nineteenth. So what did they
What did they showed it? They showed

125
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.720
what it was going to look like, what it's going to include. They

126
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.199
sent out like a bunch of descriptions. Nothing too new besides like new graphics,

127
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.800
new updates like the last one.
Arizona Stadium didn't have the little Stevens

128
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.240
facility, so I'm sure this one
will have it. Yeah, new to

129
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.240
the new field as well. But
I did say, you know when they

130
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.559
when they put out the cover,
right, and the Arizona helmet is in

131
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.559
there, but they got the stripes
wrong. Yeah, they had the stripes

132
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.480
wrong on it. But you know
what, it's cool that a helmet is

133
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:50.159
there. I'm sure sometimes Arizona everybody
hates us. Everybody hates us. I

134
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.279
couldn't even get this right, but
you know what, again, glad it

135
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.559
was there. You know, at
least it was on there because theres a

136
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.360
lot of schools that aren't on there. So it feels nice to be included

137
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.399
when three years ago we were winless. Just awful, yeah awful. Yeah

138
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.000
are you are you a big video
game guy? Oh yeah, i'll be.

139
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.960
I've already pre ordered the game.
Yeah. H how much does it

140
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.279
cost? So they got a standard
one for about seventy bucks, the luxe

141
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.679
one for one hundred, and then
this like package, we get the Madden

142
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.000
game and the are they still DVDs? No, well you can get the

143
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.120
DVDs. Oh you're downloaded, but
he's usually downloading now and that plays better

144
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.960
or faster or whatever, or is
that all the same. I think it's

145
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.440
more of a storage thing as far
as like the console itself. But then

146
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.240
did you play it back? Oh? Yeah, so during the pandemic,

147
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.519
I actually re ordered old Xbox three
sixty and got the game again because I

148
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.799
sold it when I was younger,
just trying to get money to being young

149
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.080
the butt I was. I was
bored, you know, the pandemic,

150
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.320
and I reordered it. So I
still play it to this day, the

151
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.840
old one the latest one, though. You know. I tried playing that

152
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.360
with my kid a few times and
I was never any good at it.

153
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.320
I couldn't figure it out. That's
why I did a little mascot matchup.

154
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.159
That's what I do. I just
don't have the quick hands with the with

155
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:15.639
with the with the thing. They're
good, they play they they play the

156
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:22.120
soccer games and all that stuff.
Kids today handle my VCR you want,

157
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.120
okay, just in case? So
I got one. Do you know that

158
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.879
Aaron Gordon part of this, the
Denver thing. He's not allowed to eat

159
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.519
with the team anytime. He missed
the first one. He missed the first

160
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.960
team dinner, so they don't allow
they don't let him met with the team

161
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.799
no, no pregame stuff, no
pregame dinners for Doorgan. He's gotta eat

162
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.200
on his own for the whole season, for the whole play the playoffs.

163
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.360
He missed the first playoff dinner,
and so they don't let him meet with

164
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.799
the team anymore. Oh okay,
well you know what? All right?

165
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.759
Yeah, and he's he's okay with
it, he says, I understand.

166
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:01.279
I'll see you guys later. That's
kind of fun. Yeah. Yeah,

167
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.360
he missed the first one, so
you're not gonna give us the rest of

168
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.679
I'd be the same way. I'm
very superstitious like that. Are you a

169
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.039
good time? During the ELM,
we had this uh watch party. Some

170
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.080
guy left and then we got like
two turnovers in a row. I said,

171
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.399
you gotta stay out, you got
to stay Oh you didn't let him

172
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.759
back in the house. He just
heard a scream and cheer and he was

173
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:28.039
like, what's going on? I'm
that way during the I've told the story.

174
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.799
During the twenty twelve College World Series, when you know Arizona was we

175
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.799
sat in the same spot on the
couch, you know, watching the games,

176
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.879
and so in one of the games, I don't I remember which one.

177
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:41.879
My my, my wife's uncle.
You came to watch a game with

178
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:48.440
this he's a priest, right And
he went to sit on the couch and

179
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.879
we made him move. We said
that you can't sit there, and he

180
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.480
didn't really get why we when we
expected to say, no, that's rape.

181
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.799
That's where Rachel sits, Jay sits
here, Rachel sits here, Gab

182
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.519
sits here. You can sit right
here. And we told him why and

183
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.960
he understood. And you know,
Arizone didn't lose the game in that whole

184
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.000
play Postsea, but we sat in
the same spot every game in you know,

185
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.679
in the corner of the couch and
the whole bit. So I'm with

186
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.840
you. Steve thinks it doesn't matter. But I'm with you. Doesn't matter,

187
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.519
None of it matters. So did
Tiger the cut, No, he's

188
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.720
not gonna make the cut. It's
not gonna the cut. And so did

189
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.120
the other guy was he was he
was eight over par just a few minutes

190
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.840
ago. And the cut is one. And our guy daily did he Drew.

191
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.320
Don't you think he's just enough already? He's a mess. Yeah,

192
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.879
he's a mess enough already. You
know. He at at one of the

193
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:41.080
Tucson opens. It was at the
two at Tucson National and uh, you

194
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.039
know that Friday night party, tent
night. You know, we were there,

195
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.240
and you know they had that band
called Duck Soup that would play and

196
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.840
John got up and played guitar with
him, and then you know, play

197
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.320
finishes, the song sets, the
guitar gown, goes and walks off the

198
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.399
stage and we didn't know where he
went. And I go out, I

199
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.919
go outside to go to the bathroom, and he's he's peeing on the tent.

200
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.000
I mean the bathroom, the porta
party is right there. But yet

201
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:07.000
he felt like the thing to do
was to take a leak on the tent

202
00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.759
right there. So that's that's my
experience with John Daily. I mean,

203
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.879
you gotta go, you gotta Yeah, he's a character, but he you

204
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.240
know, just he's that guy.
But yeah, he's just kind of I

205
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.720
don't know, his his whole persona, his whole character is kind of crazy.

206
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:30.759
So in Espianation Top twenty five,
too soon done yesterday with I guess

207
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.039
with updates with the recruits for some
of them, Arizona is ranked what give

208
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.200
me the number, Give me a
number, football, basketball and basketball eight.

209
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:45.360
I'll go seven, fifteen, Yeah, all right, fifteen. There's

210
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.000
a lot of movement. Man.
Well, but you know again there's still

211
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:48.639
a couple of guys that they don't
know if they're going to be there.

212
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.600
Yeah, movement, yeah, certainly. All right, Arizona has gone up

213
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.080
to nothing in softball, and they
have the bases loaded and one out.

214
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.360
There's a conference on the mound with
the picture. Uh. Villanova's uniforms they've

215
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.360
got, you know, the Navy
and and Columbia Columbia blue. Oh they're

216
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.320
better than Arizona's. Uh No,
Arizona works great, A true question,

217
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.720
Yeah, Arizona works words great.
He's a true question. One. He

218
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.240
believes if you look good, you
play good. No, but they do

219
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.600
look good. There's an all Navy, all Navy blue uniform pants and jerseys

220
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.240
with the with the Columbia blue lettering
and socks and stuff. It's a good

221
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:28.600
look. But they're losing. They're
losing two zip and this picture can't get

222
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.519
You can look good and you still
lose. But I know that, Steve,

223
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.360
But at my point being that sometimes
if you look good, you play

224
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.559
better. We haven't had this conversation
with one. We're gonna bring this up

302
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.880
Hey, welcome back to Win on
the Ball hero on Fox Sports fourteen

303
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.680
fifteen. I'm Steve Rivera. He's
Jacin Zols. Now on the phone.

304
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:12.319
We have Jake Fisher, former U
of A football player, one of our

305
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.960
big sponsors. How are you,
Jake? Doing well? I hope you

306
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.000
guys are doing well too. We're
doing well. I haven't seen you get

307
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:25.440
into any argument on Twitter lately,
are you okay? I've been I've been

308
00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:27.200
a little dark on Twitter. I
trust me. I could have gotten to

309
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:30.279
a lot of different arguments over the
last week or so. So I'm just

310
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.839
trying to trying to keep to myself. There. Good, let me ask

311
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.240
you a question. I don't think
I've ever asked you. Okay, So

312
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.000
you're a player, and you were
for U of A and you see that

313
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:44.599
U of A is recruiting recruiting in
your in your position with good, very

314
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.079
good, dudes, how do you
look at it? You're in trouble,

315
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.240
your posion is going to be taken
over. How do you look at it?

316
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.400
How you look at it? And
you've got to get better. Obviously

317
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:59.960
the coaching staff doesn't see you as
the final fix, the final product.

318
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.079
So in a couple of different ways
you can go about it. Number one,

319
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.519
you get better. Make sure that
you know they bring that guy in

320
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:11.680
for backup or for death or number
two fold. So, I mean there

321
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.200
are a couple of times, you
know, during my time over at the

322
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.440
u A where you know, they
brought in a couple of Juco guys and

323
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.799
there was a no I mean,
I think the year after I blow out

324
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.880
my knee, they brought a Juco
guy to play that instid linebacker besition because

325
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.319
they thought I was going to be
a will. So, uh, you

326
00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.000
know, it just all comes down
to go work, learn the playbook,

327
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.039
show them that you're too valuable to
put on the sideline, and go from

328
00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:37.880
there. The originally I asked,
guys, is up? You see it

329
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:41.839
all the time, right like Tommy, he's got to get his better.

330
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.599
Guys, you don't know what you
have. You don't know till last minute

331
00:21:44.839 --> 00:21:47.440
or what you know, what the
what the Falcons did, right, They've

332
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:49.400
got Kirk Cousins paying them one hundred
million dollars, then they go draft Michael

333
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:55.440
Poenix Penis, you know, I
mean stuff like that. Well, I

334
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:56.960
mean, shoot, when it comes
to the Penix thing, in the Atlanta

335
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.079
Falcons thing, I think that they
got a guy that they know what they

336
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.519
can expect while they're developing some of
the other young guys on the roster,

337
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.480
and uh, you know, I
think they got him on a pretty friendly

338
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.839
deal for you know, for that
particular market, you know, even though

339
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.599
it was quite a you know,
quite a load there. But I think

340
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.880
drafting a guy to learn from him
is extremely smart because the guy, it's

341
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.240
not like he's a bad quarterback,
you know. I think he's a fringe

342
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.799
top eleven topball quarterback. He's obviously
been to the playoffs, He's had some

343
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.160
big games, he's had some you
know, historic moments up there in Minnesota.

344
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:34.559
He just doesn't have the type of
intangibles. But I think Pennix has.

345
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.240
So I think you bringing the guy
that has the type of intangibles learned

346
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.359
from a guy like Cousins. Obviously
he gave Cousins the money, so he's

347
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.799
going to be more than willing to
obviously teach the offense and speech, you

348
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.160
know, all the little mins and
cranies that he knows in the games to

349
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.559
penick. So I think it's a
win win both ways. Would you accept

350
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:57.000
the responsibility though, Let's say you're
you know, because we've heard quarterbacks handle

351
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:02.680
it two different ways. One quarterback
one time that I'm not here to to

352
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:06.400
mentor the new guy. Then other
quarterbacks will say, yeah, you know,

353
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:07.319
I want to, you know,
bring this guy along for the good

354
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.839
of the team. Which side of
the fence, you know? Would you

355
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.119
would you be on that? Say
somebody came in in your position, who's

356
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:18.640
quote unquote the air apparent. Uh, you know, And I'm all about

357
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.720
teaching the young guys. I mean
there was no money involved, but I

358
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.680
mean after every practice my senior year
we had three freshman linebackers that ended up

359
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:32.160
playing a significant role of that year. In the year after that, Uh,

360
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:34.319
you know, I'd stay behind after
practice and we'd go over film.

361
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:40.319
So I'm all about the teaching.
That's kind of just always been who I

362
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:41.799
am. And like I said,
there is no money involved, So it's

363
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.519
like, you know, I just
honestly, just because I bled red and

364
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:51.279
blue. I wanted to see the
program that next year be better than when

365
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:53.319
I was there. So that's kind
of where I'm at. Yeah, well

366
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:56.240
you see it now all the time
because people just are just running away,

367
00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:02.200
were transferring to a different place,
right, Very true, very true.

368
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.880
And and to be honest with you, like I said, like we're still

369
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:11.039
in the industry or the embassy stages
of the NIL stuff and the transfer stuff,

370
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:14.359
like as soon as they started implementing
contracts, which I assume that's gonna

371
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.599
be the next thing because everybody wants
it to be as close to the NFL

372
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:19.880
as possible. You know, some
things are gonna end up changing. But

373
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:25.240
you know, as for now,
you know, it's it's tough for the

374
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.400
coaches. It really is like trying
to build up good depth. It's almost

375
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:34.839
impossible nowadays unless you're at Obama Georgia. And that's if they actually focus on

376
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:38.880
defense for once. You know,
So some of these bigger programs they can

377
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.279
do it, but you know,
because they have really strong NIL, really

378
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:47.680
strong electives. But you know that's
for everybody else. I mean, it's

379
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:49.960
tough. I can see how you
know it hurts the coaches. But you

380
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.640
know, at the same time,
like I'm still all for you know,

381
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.799
these players that want to getting paid
what they're worth. You know, if

382
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.519
you're if you're just dodging just because
you're not going to player just because you

383
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:03.839
know, you failed to show the
coaches that you didn't you know, you

384
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.039
weren't good enough. And obviously that's
one thing, but I mean it's kind

385
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.359
of it's kind of a difficult situation
to be honest with it. Yeah,

386
00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:15.400
no, I hear you. And
it's just become and we're all over the

387
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.079
We're all over the map on that
right There guys who are just leaving because

388
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.839
they don't want to compete, they
just want to handed stuff. Then there's

389
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.119
other guys who you know, leave
because there's money somewhere else or whatever.

390
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:26.559
But you know, and then you
know, and then you had coaches in

391
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.640
position, like you said, they
got to rerecruit. You know, we're

392
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.240
just talking about you know, kJ
Lewis coming back. That's that's a recruiting

393
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.799
win for you know, for Tommy
Lloyd to get him back and then hopefully

394
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.759
get jayde and Bradley back and then
we'll see what happens with Caleb Love.

395
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.680
Well, yeah, and then just
going back to football for a second,

396
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.640
you got to re recruit your team. And let's say that you got ninety

397
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:51.839
guys on scholarship, you got another
twenty five to forty guys who are a

398
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.119
walk on. Some of those guys
are good enough to earn a scholarship,

399
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:56.799
right, so you've got to re
recruit them after the year. And then

400
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:00.960
you have two different openings for the
trans for portal, and then you got

401
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.519
to go out and you got to
get freshmen. So it's like, you

402
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.119
know, I can see how difficult
it could be for you know, a

403
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.400
coaching staff on the football side.
When it comes to the basketball side,

404
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.680
I really like what Tommy's doing because
he tells these guys listen, like I'm

405
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.359
going to give you my evel.
You go to the NBA, You go

406
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:22.519
and you do you know, your
go through the process, you know,

407
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.119
whether it's the G League or it's
the NBA Combine or whatever it might be,

408
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.839
and get some feedback. I'm going
to tell you right now, I

409
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.720
think that you can use another year
or two and then they go and they

410
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.559
figure out what the hell they need
to do. They come back to school,

411
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:40.559
they know that they're one step or
two steps away from making it to

412
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:44.559
the NBA, and they work their
tail off because that's their dream. So

413
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:49.480
like you've got these fringe guys who
are coming back a year stronger, a

414
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.640
year, you know, another year
in the system. You know, when

415
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:55.759
it comes down to kJ Lewis,
I think he's going to be one of

416
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:57.319
the better on ball defenders in the
entire country. Next year. I think

417
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:02.400
he's going to be Big twelve defense. I think he's going to average probably

418
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:04.839
twelve thirteen points a game in the
Big twelve, which obviously is a hell

419
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:08.319
of a lot tougher than the Pac
twelve. I mean there's a lot of

420
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:11.720
different things. If he works on
a shot, and a SHOT's not broken,

421
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.319
you just got to work on his
outside shot. He's a good free

422
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:18.920
throw shooter, you know, great
backcutter, I mean, good pass or

423
00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.680
you know, there's some passages he
made last year that I didn't think,

424
00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:23.839
you know, just walking his high
school film that he can make. So

425
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.640
I mean, just if he takes
that next step, I mean we're in

426
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:33.079
great shape. Yeah, Caleb love
apro an NBA pro. I am leaning

427
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.440
more towards Caleb Bluff coming back.
If you have Jaden Browley. I think

428
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:38.960
we talked about this the last like
two or three times that we've gotten on

429
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:44.000
the air. But if you have
Jaden kJ and Caleb Love, Like,

430
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.519
is there any group of guards and
wings, you know, starting in the

431
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:52.759
country that you can definitively besides like
maybe Kansas and maybe Baylor say that are

432
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.359
better than them, Houston might be, Houston might be good. Who knows

433
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.319
what they're gonna do with Indiana because
indian is talented, right, don't think

434
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.519
their coaches any good? Yeah,
but then in Houston lost probably the best

435
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.440
point guard in the country. Yeah, yeah, that's yeah. It's one

436
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:11.920
of those things where like not only
are you know, two of those three

437
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.599
dogs on defense, but Caleb Love
actually works his tail off on defense,

438
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:21.720
Caleb Glove kJ. They're better passers
than we give them credit for. So

439
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:25.160
I just think overall, you know, I think their top four or five

440
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.200
like bare minimum, and then you
know, if counts and you know,

441
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.559
translates over and scores between thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen points a game, and

442
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.799
then you get another step you know
from bow. Again, I don't see

443
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.599
why, you know, Tommy can't
have a team that is even better than

444
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:44.960
the ones that he's had in the
past, right, So you didn't answer

445
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.680
my question. Do you think he's
a pro? Not necessarily this year,

446
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.240
just any I think I think he's
gonna end up being more of a G

447
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:56.599
League guy or an overseas guy if
he the only way that I can see

448
00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.279
him being pro because of what he
you know, his height and stuff like

449
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.400
that that he got over at the
combine, He's gonna have to be a

450
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.279
point guard. I don't see him
being a shooting guard. He's gonna kind

451
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:11.279
of get the Alonso Trier treatment where
he can get his own shot where he

452
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.599
wants. But you know, he
doesn't really I think he's better than Alonso,

453
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:18.400
true, but you know, I
just don't think that they're gonna look

454
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.880
at him as being a guy that
they can play for twenty five thirty minutes

455
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.160
a game. Totally. Yeah.
Yeah, he's not. Yeah, he's

456
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:30.759
not certainly not an obvious you know
NBA guy right now. So we'll see,

457
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:32.480
you know, we'll see what kind
of year he and then he'll be

458
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:34.319
an older guy coming out, right, so we'll see what kind of year

459
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.200
he had. Yeah, and he's
not a key shot that you know,

460
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.799
jumps forty two inches and you know
as insane length and stuff like that.

461
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.119
So it's going to be difficult for
him, right, Okay, all right,

462
00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:52.039
all right? Football wise, uh, you know, just again,

463
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.599
still so much going on. Still
some players coming in, some players well

464
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:59.680
the portals people are done going into
the portal. But he's still got to

465
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:02.519
like what what Brennan's doing. You
know, we had we had you know,

466
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:03.880
a college did that you you really
have to question? Okay, now,

467
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:07.039
how good of a coach is Brndan
gonna be? Uh? You know,

468
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:11.480
we don't know. We think he's
good, We like him, certainly,

469
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:14.480
likable guy, but you know,
now it remains to be seen how

470
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.480
good of a coach is he really
when it comes to you know, not

471
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.359
just running a program, but you
know, running a team. Right.

472
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.759
I think the most important thing for
him over the off season was keeping that

473
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.119
court guys together, and he's obviously
done that. I think he's brought in

474
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:34.119
a couple of really good uh,
a couple of really good transfers. Obviously

475
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:38.160
we got pillaged in terms of our
incoming freshman class, and some of these

476
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:44.200
guys that I think could have contributed
right away even as freshmen from Washington and

477
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.000
Jet fish. But you know,
when it comes down to it, it's

478
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:51.519
finishing, you know, the transfer
deal. Let's see who we can get.

479
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:55.759
Apparently we're having a really big,
you know weekend this weekend. Who

480
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:00.960
can we get to commit? Especially
at positions of needs. Running back is

481
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.400
one of them. I think we
have two really good running backs, but

482
00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:07.279
we're gonna need one of those thunder
guys that can go downhill, get one

483
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.119
or two yards, you know,
even break a tackle, or if he

484
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:14.119
gets met in the hole, he
can fall forward instead of getting pushed backwards.

485
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.839
Maybe another defensive lineman. We're gonna
need some depth on the offensive line,

486
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:22.079
and then maybe even one more receiver
man like Elijah Badger. The fact

487
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.000
that he went to Florida that just
baffles me. I know that they probably

488
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.319
threw quite a bit of money at
him, but you know, which team

489
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.680
has a better quarterback, which team
is going to allow him to have more

490
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:38.119
single coverage the way? So if
the number was that far fetch, then

491
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:42.480
obviously, you know, that's why
I went to Florida. But other than

492
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.480
that, I think he's done a
really good job and let's just see how

493
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.480
he finishedes off this weekend. Because
a couple of the guys that are on

494
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.720
twenty four to seven, Goa's and
cat you know, all these other places.

495
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.079
They're saying that he's got a lot
of things cooking. So I just

496
00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:57.559
kind of want to see what the
results of that are. So you were

497
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.119
the guru last year. I think
we get enough profits that you you were

498
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:05.519
You were good at what you were
predicting, because when you said eight or

499
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:07.799
nine wins, we were all thinking, what the hell are you drinking?

500
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.680
But so you over under now is
in half? Right? In half?

501
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.880
Wow? Still early. So we'll
ask you again in August. What do

502
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:22.359
you think right now? Well,
a couple of things. We're not gonna

503
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:27.599
have to play against uh an organ
or you know, a Washington team that

504
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.200
ends up going to the National championship
game. We're not gonna have to play

505
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.079
against an See. We still got
Utah, and we still got our you

506
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.359
know, our rivals down you know
or up north. Sorry, So the

507
00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:39.680
way that I see it, I
think it's a more balanced league. We

508
00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:44.079
just you know, it's not as
hop heavy. So I still think we're

509
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:49.039
gonna be around that nine win total. You know, if things come together,

510
00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:52.799
and if we do get a couple
of physicians of needs filled. I

511
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:55.519
don't see why we can't win ten
and to be honest, if you,

512
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.839
I don't see a reason why we
shouldn't be competing for the Big All Championship.

513
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.119
I mean, obviously you got Oklahoma
State, you got Utah, you

514
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:08.680
got Kansas State. After that,
you know who else is there. I

515
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:12.279
mean, I still believe that we're
in the top tier of the conference.

516
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:15.960
I agree, I agree, I
would. Yeah, I think we're in

517
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:19.759
the top half of the conference.
I'm just I just want to see what

518
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:21.279
this is going to look like.
And I think, well, you know,

519
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:23.079
I mentioned, well, we'll know
early when they play Kansas State in

520
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:27.680
that non conference game up there,
because Kansas State is one of the favorites

521
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.039
in the league. So I think
I'll give us a really good look.

522
00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:32.599
The only the only thing that worries
me is because we're the nude dogs on

523
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:36.920
the block, everyone's going to be
gunning for us. That's the only thing

524
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.440
that worries me. So we might
have one or two slip ups where a

525
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:45.759
team comes out and just goes absolutely
crazy to try to like initiate us into

526
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.839
the conference, right, and you
know, we trip up. But you

527
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.400
know, as long as we got
you know, a potential All American candidate.

528
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:57.160
And know if the FIA we got
that big receiver out, you know,

529
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:00.759
and Team Mac we've got I think
are off defensive lines got three NFL

530
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:05.839
for sure. Guys. You know, as long as we're able to solidify

531
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.119
some of these things, if we
can just you know, run the clock,

532
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:13.119
even if like the Colorado game last
year, if our defense really can't

533
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:15.360
stop much, if our offense can
go ahead and run the clock, milk

534
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:21.199
the clock, and we can just
make timely you know, tackles and turnovers

535
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:22.519
on defense, I don't see a
reason why we can't just put some of

536
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.800
these teams away. Yeah, no, agree, I agree, okay,

537
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:30.239
Jake, enjoy your time, your

twenty five former players, coaches and friends

599
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:58.800
While the Cats are blasting Villanova put
up an eight spot in the first inning,

600
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.440
including a homer by Code Kennedy,
And then they come out in the

601
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:06.679
in the second inning and Carl scoop
and goes yards are up nine to nothing

602
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:14.079
after two nothing, just but still
building over that great uniforms. You've seen

603
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:16.039
it before, so good for them, But you know, you know what

604
00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:20.719
it'd be it'd be nice for him
to have a comfortable win, right,

605
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:22.880
and they can go in and zero
win on Arkansas or whoever they play in

606
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:27.920
that second round game, most likely
Arkansas, who's the host. Yeah,

607
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.280
you know, go get in there, man, just keep winning and see

608
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:35.440
what happens. Right, But yeah, Aid Zip, They just blasted him,

609
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.119
just hit after hit after he hit
all hard hits, including the homer.

610
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:42.400
So all right, so there you
go, Aid Zip. Okay,

611
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:46.559
okay again, anybody wants to call, please do uh well, we're wrapping

612
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:51.239
up the week. Yes, good
week. So so after you left this,

613
00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:53.239
during the break, one and I
had a little chat and he's on

614
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.760
she's on my side. All the
uniform thing I did not. I did

615
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:00.039
not even he brought up. He
brought it up in a way that I've

616
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.559
never even brought out, Like,
way smarter than me. What did you

617
00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:06.800
bring up on? But he may
the point that you made. This may

618
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.519
be your last day here with us. All right. So outside of the

619
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:15.239
sports world, when say you're going
in for a new job interview, right,

620
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:19.039
you want to dress nice, maybe
impress that you and you feel better

621
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.159
when you dress nice. You're wearing
this nice shuit you got a nice uh

622
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:25.599
tie on, you feel better going
into the interview. The interview goes well

623
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:29.960
more more more often than not than
if you go in there and like cut

624
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:34.159
offs and a T shirt. Of
Sure, but that's you're talking. You're

625
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:37.239
you're talking two different things here,
but they're they're similar, Steve. It's

626
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:40.400
like, if you feel better about
yourself in whether you're in a uniform or

627
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:44.599
you're in a suit, you're gonna
perform better. You know what my point

628
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:49.079
is. Try to explain my point. I don't know what you're playing.

629
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.079
You could dress what however you want
to go in and not for a job

630
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:55.559
interview, for an A for two
game to play and put me in a

631
00:40:55.559 --> 00:41:00.079
gunny sack with shorts and coaches pants
or whatever. And I'm playing Jay,

632
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:04.159
you're not. I'm gonna play just
as hard and I'm gonna actually be pissed

633
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:08.159
off because you guy looks pretty good. But let's get dirty, baby.

634
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:12.199
I'm not gonna play it less and
I'm gonna play as hard as I can

635
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.559
through to me, uniforms mean nothing. Oh he looks cute, he looks

636
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:19.199
I had it. I told you
this experience, and he may be listened

637
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:22.119
to a good friend of mine.
He but his wrist bands, his best

638
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:25.679
socks, and could catch a ball. Couldn't catch a ball, You though,

639
00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:30.320
what's the point I'm not saying.
I'm just saying that you, as

640
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:35.760
an individual, might perform better if
you feel good about myself. That's what

641
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:39.039
I'm saying. Now, you're going
in a in a doubt. Might No,

642
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:42.960
No, I do, Okay,
I will, I know, I

643
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.280
do. I know that if I
if I'm gonna If you're playing baseball,

644
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.760
Okay, I played baseball. I
put on my uniform a certain way,

645
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:52.159
and I wanted it to look good. I wanted to wear the right socks.

646
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:57.519
I wanted to I wanted my shoes
to I want everything, and I

647
00:41:57.599 --> 00:42:02.639
felt like I played better because I
was. Did you dress better after the

648
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.239
game? Did you think you disappointed
the way you looked? No? But

649
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.159
no. But I'm just saying that
I felt better about the way about my

650
00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:13.960
being on the field because I was
wearing my uniform. To me, it

651
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:15.639
has nothing about looks. I just
want to win. I just want to

652
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:17.760
win. I agree with you,
I do too, Steve. But what

653
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:22.880
I'm saying is that I, as
an athlete, and I used that term

654
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:27.119
loose sleep, you know, if
I walked on the field and and like

655
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.039
like, let's say, okay,
point, okay, okay, I can't

656
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:34.719
argue that, okay, okay,
because there were a lot of times when

657
00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.840
I went straight to my game from
work, all right, and one game,

658
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.400
all right, I forgot my game
socks. You were probably listen,

659
00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:44.159
Just listen. I forgot my game
socks, okay, So I had to

660
00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:46.719
wear my work socks. And unfortunately
my pants were long, right, so

661
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.679
they so you really couldn't see my
socks. But I had my game socks

662
00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.400
on, my work socks on,
with my you know, with my uniform,

663
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:57.480
and I felt and I thought about
it the whole game. Of course

664
00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.599
you did, because that's you,
Wally. That's a you problemform, I

665
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:04.119
know. But but no, but
I'm but what I'm saying is that there

666
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.199
are players I get that, who
feel better when they wear their uniform,

667
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:09.599
right, And I get that,
and I think it's silly because you're there

668
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:14.239
to play put it, put them
in a gunnysack with shorts, whatever,

669
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:16.880
cleats, no cleats, whatever.
I'm gonna play my ass off to beat

670
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:21.400
the guy looking looking pretty good,
or or if I don't have the right

671
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:25.360
I undershirt or the right sleeves or
whatever. But that and that was I

672
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:29.320
would be out of sorts the whole
game. I shouldn't make you play.

673
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:31.519
I shouldn't make it that way though, deep down, but it did.

674
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:37.320
That's that's a you problem. It's
not a game problem. That's a problem

675
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.039
because Jay, this is the last
uniform we have. But you're gonna start

676
00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:44.719
at short. You better play good
even though this uniform it's with a number,

677
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:46.599
with a number of pains in the
back. Here you gotta go.

678
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:50.559
I hated that. If you disappoint
if you disappoint me, Jay, you're

679
00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:52.480
not gonna play a game. I
hate it. I don't care if you

680
00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:53.599
look like crap. I hated that, and I felt I had to have

681
00:43:53.599 --> 00:44:00.760
the right number. You're a diva, gun diva, don't you? And

682
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:07.400
you complained about the people who are
DV My first two years as an assistant

683
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:12.199
coach at Saint Gregory A right,
I was number fifty five. I hated

684
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.880
that number because it wasn't a good
number, and I felt I would have

685
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.119
been a much better coach if I
had my number, which was six.

686
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:27.639
You're eventually making my point more understandable. I mean, that's silly. That's

687
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.920
silly. I don't think so.
Still, I'm still on the play.

688
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:39.119
It's the way there. You know, over time there have been more people

689
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:45.360
who agree with me. Can you
remember Clemson's uniforms, which ones basketball?

690
00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:49.159
They were kind of okay, you
know, orange or whatever color, they

691
00:44:49.159 --> 00:44:53.480
were just kind of they didn't give
a crap how good Arizona looked. Okay,

692
00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:57.960
Jason Terry, he had to have
his cat socks. No, No,

693
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.280
that's superstar. That's just a super
like that's a superstition. Maybe it

694
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:05.880
is a superstition. But but by
again, by j Jason Terry having his

695
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:08.519
cats socks, he felt he played
better, of course, but that's not

696
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:12.920
actually a new thing. With the
uniform or him with the uniform. That

697
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:15.280
wasn't necessarily something that looked good to
him. It did, but maybe not.

698
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:19.639
But he felt how many people were
there socks like that? He did?

699
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:22.920
He felt he played better like that. But my daughter, when she

700
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:27.519
played basketball, she used to line
up her Nike logos on her side,

701
00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:30.079
and if they weren't lined up,
she didn't feel good out the way she

702
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:34.280
looked. How did she play?
She played much better with the shots lined

703
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:42.960
up like that. Oh bad,
I'm just telling you that that's how you

704
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.679
know there's people who feel that way. No, I don't just put it

705
00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:47.159
on their uniform. I don't disagree
with you. But every time you come

706
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:52.320
up with one of these crazy I
don't want to read the Milky story because

707
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.800
you're you're identifying yourself. That's why
you don't want to read it. You

708
00:45:55.840 --> 00:46:01.000
don't want to know Rocky point.
Okay, read read it, rock It's

709
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:06.639
a great story. You'll understand.
Steve was right about, Well, we've

710
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:09.480
had this discussion all this time.
You don't understand that. No, No,

711
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:15.519
you have certain traits, a certain
trait for sure about you. You'll

712
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:16.480
you'll when you read it, you
say, yeah, this is it?

713
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:23.199
So on going. I don't know
what you make these things. You don't

714
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.039
need to look good to play good. Just play good. Just play good,

715
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:31.239
so you don't something. Okay,
you don't need to know. I

716
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:37.159
need to there one that solves,
that solves the issue. But damn it,

717
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:39.440
if you look good one and you
have a couple of theirs, you

718
00:46:39.559 --> 00:46:44.920
I want you to look bad for
the next game, just because it doesn't

719
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.559
it doesn't played volleyball in high school. Okay, last two games one the

720
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.719
second to last we had. We
had these uniforms. I did not like

721
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:54.159
it. It was tied on me. It was probably one of the worst

722
00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:57.559
performances in my life. Next game, I said, work, I'm gonna

723
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.719
wear this certain uniform that I like
because it's my senior night. And we

724
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:05.360
did, and I had the game
of my life. See proof right there.

725
00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:10.039
That's a huge litmus test. Two
games or you couldn't move in your

726
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:16.239
arms play volleyball. I'm just I'm
just a little shocked that one was a

727
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:22.920
volleyball player. So you to former
used to be multi you know, you

728
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.400
and I, I mean, I
don't know we You know what you also

729
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:30.159
have to learn about Jay is he's
a airport guy. He's an airport guy.

730
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:34.199
Go ahead and explain that, Jay. You're like a good airport team

731
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.000
is they look great walking through the
airport. They just look really good,

732
00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:39.480
but they can and then then they
get on the court and they're not good.

733
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:42.559
And this is you know, this
is kind of the thing I shouldn't

734
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:45.280
say, but I will. You
look like Tarzan, played like Jane.

735
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:50.039
You've heard that phrase right before.
Well that's that's it right here. Just

736
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.840
play like Tarzan. There's there's some
times you know, watch you know,

737
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:57.039
watch warm ups, and particularly the
teams that you're not familiar with, right,

738
00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.519
Like some of these non conference teams, you walk on the court and

739
00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:00.840
you go, kid, that's a
bad team just by looking at them,

740
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:05.880
and it never it never works.
It. Then other times that you walk,

741
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:07.840
you go, that looks like a
really bad team, and then all

742
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:10.000
a sudden, they're they're really good. The first time, the first time

743
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:14.280
I came up with then that where
where where it came from was I was

744
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:17.599
long long ago a on the Fistfall
Basketball Committee, So you know, we

745
00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:21.119
don't host the team, so we'd
always do airport a greetings back when you

746
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.519
could go to the gate, right. And so this one year, Florida

747
00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:28.320
State is in the tournament and uh, they come in they you know,

748
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:30.920
they're getting off the plane and they're
walking by us and we're greeting them in

749
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:35.800
a little bit and I'm like,
holy hell, these guys look good.

750
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:38.360
And then they you know, we
see him on the court in in their

751
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:43.519
uh you know, at their game
and they got beat. And remember the

752
00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:47.280
way the tournament went with the Arizona
the team that they wanted to play in

753
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:52.159
the championship, and then two other
teams and the fourth team in. It

754
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.800
was always like a hyphenated team,
right, and and the players on them,

755
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:59.519
but it was always expected. But
the matches are gonna be in Florida

756
00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:02.000
State showed up and they looked and
we walked on the court and they looked

757
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:05.719
so damn good. And that's when
we said they were a really good airport.

758
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:07.559
And they got beat in the first
round game and so Arizona didn't get

759
00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:12.079
to play. It meant nothing.
Brad Pitt bless his heart, because what

760
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:20.119
he's divorced. Mister Yeah, but
he pulled Jennifer and for a while,

761
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:28.480
how did that go with mister Pitt? Well he he yeah, well it

762
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.960
worked for him for a while.
Well and then he let me put it

763
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:37.199
this way, he he pitched Jennifer
Andiston to get Angelina Jolie. I mean,

764
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:40.920
and who's who's ever had it better
than that got worse? Yeah?

765
00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:44.679
Well, okay, so maybe he
wasn't a great guy, or maybe she

766
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.920
wasn't a great wife or whatever.
But nonetheless that those are two polls,

767
00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:53.119
that those are historic. I mean, we're talking about you understand my point

768
00:49:52.880 --> 00:50:00.000
point I was, I understand your
point to the argument in total, I'm

769
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:01.960
he just disagrees with you. You
know, I'm fine with that. I'm

770
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:06.039
fine with that, But many people
don't because you just got to play.

771
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:07.199
At the end of the day,
you got to play no matter how you

772
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:09.199
look. Yes, at the end
of the day, you do have to

773
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:13.840
play. Jay, you look pretty
good. What happened too? But all

774
00:50:13.880 --> 00:50:16.599
I know is I played better when
I look good. Did you? Did

775
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:21.519
you look bad at times and you
didn't play well? Yeah? That time

776
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.000
that I didn't have my socks the
time. I want to call some I'm

777
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:27.920
gonna tell mister Dave quick. Did
he did? It? Was? David?

778
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.840
Was jad good? Yeah? David? They will tell you I was

779
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.880
good. They will tell you I
was good. Okay, what is that?

780
00:50:34.960 --> 00:50:38.199
But partly because I was his manager? Yeah, well, partly because

781
00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:45.679
I bought a car from him once. Well, you're not anymore. Because

782
00:50:45.800 --> 00:50:47.719
he has experienced, he's seen it, he's seen it. He'll give me

783
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:51.519
the low down look. And you
know what, all the guys on that

784
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:54.199
team, Steve, were their uniforms, right, they were all athletes.

785
00:50:54.199 --> 00:50:59.320
They were all guys who so looking
good. Yeah, yeah, they were.

786
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:01.119
They were the union forms, right, they look good and and we

787
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:05.760
did that on purpose because we wanted
to look like a good baseball team.

788
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.639
We we we were a ragtag bunch
of guys, but everybody wore the uniforms.

789
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:13.239
Great, and because of that,
we want a bunch of championships.

790
00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:17.400
You not, because of that,
you guys overed on talent. You guys.

791
00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:25.079
You guys know we didn't. You
had all these stars. Well I

792
00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:30.400
know, but that's the reason.
There wasn't the uniforms. She's not telling

793
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:37.679
you full no. They could have
been wearing crap and it was still he

794
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:45.480
knows that too. Oh my god, god, because we look good.

795
00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:47.679
You know, you did? You
former U A players, a couple of

796
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:52.119
pros. You know what? Do
you think they were the airport team?

797
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:53.960
We did? No, I wouldn't
say we were an airport team because we

798
00:51:53.960 --> 00:51:57.880
were. Some fat guys on our
team were but you could play. But

799
00:51:57.960 --> 00:52:00.559
we look good in our uniforms.
Really, sorry to boid everybody on this

800
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:07.280
list. It's a legit conversation and
there's people out there going, I believe

801
00:52:07.320 --> 00:52:10.199
what I Oh, yeah, sure, I completely agree with Jay and I

802
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:15.039
completely don't agree with Jay. And
that's it. But that's good day,
