Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome 4 00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:22.399 to Eye on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, 5 00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:28.280 he's Jacob's us, got our boss and Alise here today. You're running 6 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:34.000 the show thankfully. Yeah, well better than you're mean. Welcome to Tuesday, 7 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.640 everybody. You know the number five two, four, one, six 8 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.079 seventy. Good to be here. I hadn't seen Alease in a month or 9 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:44.719 so, since before spring my spring break. Yeah, that's right. He 10 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.960 told me he doesn't like you. That's why he's been gone all this time. 11 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.600 He's gone every time. Why he hasn't had service on the road heday, 12 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:58.439 He's like, oh, you're breaking up, guys. Enough of that, 13 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.000 you know his liney? Hey, a lot of news today, a 14 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.519 lot of hay stuff right university wise, we're going to have a guest talking 15 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.120 about it. But how can we not talk about it right now? Right? 16 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.040 Chrisery, So the Big Boss has decided to say goodbye at some point. 17 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.200 At some point, and by that I mean Bobby Robbins, the president 18 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.439 of university, has decided that he will leave at the end of his contract, 19 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.200 which runs through twenty twenty six, but in doing so said basically said, 20 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.120 if you want to go find somebody right now, I'll stick around until 21 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.519 that person is in place and there's a smooth transition. So he's he's opened 22 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:40.239 the door to let the U of A go get somebody right now if they 23 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:44.480 want to now it's you know, the ball is in the hands of the 24 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.840 Bord of Regents or the Court of the Border Regents and probably the governor to 25 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.200 decide, Okay, do we want to replace him now? Should we? 26 00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.719 It doesn't say his statement to in an email that went out to student employees 27 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:05.079 and students, did not say, well, if I leave early, I 28 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.840 still get all my money through the end of my contract. He just said 29 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:13.039 I will step down if they find somebody beforehand. So the implication to me 30 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.960 is that whenever they find a new president, he's done. They don't have 31 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.840 to pay him anymore, and he's just completely doesn't come as a complete surprise, 32 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:23.000 given that we thought he would not make it to the end of his 33 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.719 contract. Some people thought it was this year, but it was next year. 34 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.120 I don't think. I think we are in agreement that we don't think 35 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:31.319 he'll get to the end of the I don't think so. I think I 36 00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:38.000 think, you know, look to kind of get restore some confidence in the 37 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.120 university, because the confidence has been shot because of all the stuff that's happened 38 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.479 with the finances and the reason that Robbins is under fire. I think in 39 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.759 order to try and begin to restore that confidence as quickly as possible, that 40 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.199 the border regents and the governor will move to get it, get a replaced. 41 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.120 And the governor is none too happy with his performat at him. She's 42 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.520 been so yeah, rightfully, Well, let's let's kind of look at the 43 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.960 ramifications that we can. Uh So, a new president's coming in months whatever. 44 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.000 A new ad just showed up, a new football coach just showed up, 45 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:15.000 and the coaches who I think I've done well enough are here only for 46 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.719 three you know, relatively new coach, relatively new coaches under a new ad 47 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.159 who will be under a new president. That's a heck of a load. 48 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:28.080 That's a lot. That is a lot, and it'll be interesting to see 49 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.759 it. It's gonna take some real I don't know what the right words, 50 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:37.960 not character, but just some sort of that's just for this flexibility on the 51 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.080 part of everybody to kind of say, Okay, let's let's just kind of 52 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.759 let things happen, get this done, and kind of regroup instead of saying, 53 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.960 well, you know, God, if the person that hired me is 54 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.479 gone, then I'm gonna leave as soon as I can. Already under the 55 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.719 conditions that there might be some layoffs throughout the adversity that's on top of them, 56 00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.199 that's on top of all that. I was gonna ask you a quick 57 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:01.680 question at least, what was the buzz today. You guys got the email? 58 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.639 Does it affect students and it's like kind of divorce with parents the kids? 59 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.560 No, but you know, okay, dead and mom don't love each 60 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.479 other? Is going to go? I think like all my group chats that 61 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.240 I'm in we're talking about it like this has been like the craziest news that 62 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.879 has happened since I've been at the U OFA. Really, I would think 63 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.759 so, even though with the COVID and all that stuff. Yeah, well 64 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.439 I got here during COVID, right, Oh so you're already here. Yeah, 65 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.160 I got here freshman year of twenty twenty. So when it was COVID 66 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.240 and President Robinson actually came to my COVID dorm and like knocked on the window. 67 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.000 It was like, how are you guys doing in there? Guys okay, 68 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.720 Like, yeah, we're fine. But yeah, this has been big 69 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.199 news. I think it does affect students because I think people students actually liked 70 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.920 him, like I liked him. Yeah, we'll get to that in a 71 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.279 moment, because we did two Okay, so now you have a job will 72 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.560 be for the president in a school that is deeply in depth. Well, 73 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.160 but but like they went out and got a really good athletic director, it 74 00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.959 seems right, somebody who you wouldn't expect them to get. They were already 75 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.879 got a football coach who came in. You know during this time. It's 76 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:14.600 a good job and what and you take a job at any university and you've 77 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:21.160 got some level of challenge because you know, usually a president leaves. Rarely 78 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:28.439 does a president leave because they're retiring. They leave because their stay is over 79 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.439 with Yeah, right, what do you mean by that? There's there's usually 80 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:36.240 things that pile up over the course of like, Robin's been here longer than 81 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.759 a number of the last I don't know how many presidents seven years, you 82 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.480 know, President's three four, And the things always pile up because the university 83 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:54.079 is such a hard place to run smoothly. Manny Pacheco very well liked president, 84 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.879 all right, you know, ultimately, ultimately he high tailed it out 85 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.279 of here. He's going four years. I'd have to look it up. 86 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.839 You know. Peterking, now, Peter Likeings retired he was you know, 87 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.360 he retired again, another well like president though. But you know what, 88 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.040 at the end, like in any job like that, there are people who 89 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.279 are ready for you to leave. And regardless of how much good Bobby Robbins 90 00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.040 had done here, there was gonna be a time when people want him. 91 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:25.040 Now. The thing crashed on him, so, you know, he gave 92 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.519 them a reason to want him to leave. But things were piling up. 93 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.959 The you know, the the you know, the thing with the shooting of 94 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.639 the the of the professor didn't get handled well, and he took a lot 95 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.399 of craft for that. Uh. The the faculty has been on him for 96 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.000 sort of creating this you know, call it a kingdom or whatever. But 97 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:54.040 a lot of high level highly paid administrators when you know faculty was you know, 98 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:58.839 they thought being ignored for their needs. So a job like that, 99 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.639 I mean, you know, you could be the best president of the United 100 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.040 States, but people are going to find a reason outside of the politics of 101 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.199 it. You can't just things that you do because you're not making everybody happy 102 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.759 because you're that's impossible to do. Yeah, yeah, I know. And 103 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.680 that's just on that side of the right. So we're gonna have Brett Farrell 104 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.439 here in the after after the first hour talking about all that how it relates 105 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.480 to the sports alets, implications sports, right, and there's a lot there. 106 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.160 There's a lot because Robbins was a guy who loved the athletics piece of 107 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.519 his shop, and we had him on the show a number of runds. 108 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.439 You went to all the travel baskets. Yeah, no, he was a 109 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:40.199 huge fan, which is maybe maybe it wasn't, but you know, his 110 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.839 predecessor was somebody who was not that personated athletic. Sure, sure no, 111 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:48.000 and and she had her issues. So no, we'll talk about it it 112 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.040 relates to sports with Brett Farrell, the sports editor at the Daily Star. 113 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:57.360 But first we're gonna have a very fun guest, a very well decorated yet 114 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.240 who deserves everybody Adre. It was her day to day too in the city. 115 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.199 Did you see she was on today? I think so, I'm talking 116 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.240 about it was just perfect timing. So we'll look forward to that. We're 117 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:16.120 not that smart, though, are we not that smart to have thought of 118 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.519 that? That day was her day? So let's get her on the show. 119 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.959 This is just cool. This kind of happened. But we've been mining 120 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.920 to get her on for a while. But she's a uh she won the 121 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.920 boys state championship in her weight division, first a person in state of Arizona 122 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.600 to ever, first female in Arizona to have done that, right, Yeah, 123 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.559 I think so. She was like the second or third to ever qualify, 124 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.840 but the first one to actually win it. Yeah. So we'll have 125 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.799 some fun with her and and then kind of picked her brain why she does 126 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.720 this and how good does she think she can be? I mean, come 127 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.559 on, she's targeting the Olympics. Yeah, she's gonna be the she's one. 128 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.120 She went to Mexico, right, She went to Mexico right with the 129 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:00.600 coach Yese for an Olympic qualifier. Yeah, okay, chance, So talk 130 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.320 all about that the final force here in a few days, three four days. 131 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.480 Uh So the state's looking forward to that because you can't go. They 132 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.039 can't. They didn't even get the chance to try and convince my mom to 133 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.159 get us. You can still contry, well, yeah, your team, 134 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.519 and she's like, there's no point. I mean, I would think it's 135 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:26.480 so her family's dookies, a bunch of them, all of them except for 136 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.200 you. You're the You're the okay, Okay. Were they pissed hurt? 137 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.120 Uh? Are they mad at you know, at the coach for Duke? 138 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.440 Yeah? I don't think so. I mean, I think Duke had a 139 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.600 good, great season. We weren't like upset at them, at least for 140 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.840 me. I felt like they just couldn't stop n C State and C State 141 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:56.519 played better for sure, like another realistic effect. Yeah, like the Arizona 142 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.320 Pads. I want to burn the house down. You know, today's my 143 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:03.159 breakfast club day. And uh, you know the conversation, you know, 144 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.720 with the upset that they lost, but kind of like when I told him, 145 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.519 you know what we talked about yesterday with Bruce that got you know, 146 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.159 they ended up about where everybody thought they were gonna end up in pre season, 147 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.159 they go Sweet sixteen, sixteen Top sixteen. They were ranked, they 148 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.120 were ranked twelve pre season and they were picked to when the whin the pack 149 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.080 twelve they did, but they were RANKEDWELF nationally. Yeah, that's kind of 150 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.200 where they wound up, and they'll party end up there again. But at 151 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.399 the end, but you know, they were kind of like, I guess 152 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:35.960 you're right, you know, and I guess what I'm not right? Bruce's 153 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.600 right. Yeah, he's the one that said it. Yeah, I didn't 154 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.919 know, and did they? Well, this is the breakfast club this morning. 155 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.440 You'll have your Wednesday group tomorrow tomorrow and ask him Rivetta things that you 156 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.480 guys just didn't know what the heck you were seeing in was or didn't know 157 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.679 what you didn't know anything about was clumsy. Yeah, yeah, I think 158 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.799 they'll admit that. I still haven't talked to my brother who ranted, you 159 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.039 know, is he still your brother? I mean, are like a different 160 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:05.879 state you Texas and California. I'm Switzerland.

You know, it was so much spirit 164 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:31.279 and then you just go home. So how was the how was watching it 165 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.679 with the guy? With the people? It was so fun. They just 166 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:35.960 kind of pissed all the way through that. I mean, it was like 167 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.200 it was kind of funny because it was like, you knows, however many 168 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.399 three throws that he makes one and it's like the you know, the crowd 169 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.440 goes crazy and I'm like, you guys, like you just missed six? 170 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:54.759 Like how we're cheering? Like yeah, But like anytime Arizona did anything good, 171 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.919 it was like there was a lot of hope for sure. But I 172 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.720 was there when we played Duke and we beat Duke and that was like so 173 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.840 fun, like everyone's screaming, like storming the streets. And then this was 174 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.840 and that's where it all began for the bad stuff. Yeah, because you 175 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:13.559 beat Duke, there are number two at the time, and you're thinking, 176 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.879 hey, look how good we could be or we're gonna be and then they 177 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.759 go eight in a row. I think it was whatever it was, and 178 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.919 you're thinking, yeah, we're the stuff, we got it, we got 179 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.159 it, and then things start to unravel and you're thinking, well, we'll 180 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.000 be okay, we're still good. We beat Duke, Yeah, yeah, 181 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:33.840 we beat Alabama, we beat Wisconsin, and it just never found the fire 182 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.600 again. I think they relied too much on their talent instead of playing together. 183 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.919 They arguably played their best basketball in November December, without questions. That's 184 00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.039 when you can't do that. And I feel like Duke, on the other 185 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.840 hand, was starting to get it together now right right, which was good. 186 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.120 Do you think and this is we're going off the trail here, but 187 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.759 do you think that Duke coaches is the guy? I like John Shire. 188 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.440 I feel like he has a good heart and plays with you know, character, 189 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:05.919 a chip on his shoulder. I feel like sometimes Tommy Lloyd doesn't play 190 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.080 with the ship chip on his shoulder. That's a good point. That's a 191 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:11.039 good point. We talk about this all the time, though I don't think 192 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.399 he did in that game. You don't want to follow the guy who follows 193 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.679 the guy, you know, you don't want to follow the guy, and 194 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.639 he follows the guy I think from what you hear about him, I think 195 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.679 he does. We just don't see it as much as fans would like to 196 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.000 see it. That's that's a big complaint about Tommy is that he's not he's 197 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:33.360 not fiery enough. He doesn't he doesn't hold his players accountable in front of 198 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.679 everybody, you know, and and they when we don't know what goes on 199 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.360 in practice, you know, in his office, in team meetings or whatever. 200 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.440 And you know, you did a piece of piece on him that they 201 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.759 say, you know, he's ultra competitive and kinds of thing very much. 202 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.399 But you know what, when I was when they were saying this, it 203 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.360 just struck me because everybody said this. But then you don't see it when 204 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.360 you don't, you don't see that. But but he you know, he's 205 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.639 not going to be Miller on the sideline. No, you don't want that. 206 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.600 He's not gonna tell somebody don't catch the ball. Yeah, you don't 207 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.279 want to, you know, like like we have. You know, you 208 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.200 know, he's not gonna be yelling with his players on the court. He's 209 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.679 not gonna do that. And but people see that as a sign of weakness 210 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:16.600 for something. Well, no one's gonna beer. You know, you have 211 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.159 Stoops excuse me, who did his thing. You have rich Rod who did 212 00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.799 his thing. And then how far do you go to be that guy? 213 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.679 Right? You know, because he had levels, right and then shot had 214 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.919 his levels right, right, is there? Right? Answer? Probably not? 215 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:35.720 I don't know. Look he's three years into this, guys, yeah 216 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.639 in the end, three years into this. Yeah, you know he's got 217 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.600 time to figure this out. His record, we talked about it last night, 218 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.799 is eighty eight and twenty tied. The record from Why anybody, anybody 219 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:50.320 would say he needs to be fired is beyond me, because they don't have 220 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.559 anybody one. They don't get to talk to him, they don't see him. 221 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:56.399 They can see it from the well. You got to say Stevens eighty 222 00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.480 eight and twenty, and you say a guy eight and twenty shill not be 223 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.519 under fire? Du packed. Well yeah, give them this opportunity to vent 224 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.559 and they'll do it whatever anonymously. Right. You know, if tummy's in 225 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.879 the room, they ain't gonna tell him, right, They're not gonna sit 226 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.759 they say you need to be fired. Yeah, yeah, Hey, we 227 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.480 got to go. All right, let's get the heck out. I don't 228 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.519 want to keep her waiting exactly. She'll kick your butt.

I thought I was supposed to be going to the Pima County Board 313 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.640 meeting h just to be recognized, shouted out. But I show up and 314 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.640 they ended up. They ended up, I guess, proclamating a day for 315 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:36.000 me. So nice. It seems a little young to be having your day, 316 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.279 right, that's amazing that you're having to day. How old are you, 317 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.319 Audrey? If we can ask, are you eighteen? You're eighteen? 318 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:48.400 Okay, So that's man, that that's crazy. What I mean. We 319 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:49.759 want to talk to you about the wrestling in your path and you know, 320 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.839 trying to get to the Olympics. What all of this that's happening to you? 321 00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.559 What's that like on a daily basis for you as you just go about 322 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.160 your day, a hanging out with friends, going to school, doing the 323 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.119 things that you do that you're Audrey humanis that everybody knows you're doing all these 324 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.599 things. What's that like for you? Well, I mean, it's it's 325 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:17.759 really great. I'm grateful that I'm not treated too differently, you know, 326 00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.440 obviously by my teammates, my peers, and I have sacrificed so much for 327 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:27.119 wrestling, and I've committed so much of myself that I don't always live just 328 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:32.880 a normal, I guess teenage life because I am, you know, training 329 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:38.079 constantly or doing something that's gonna help me get better. When did you come 330 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.680 up with this idea of doing what you're doing? Were you like seven years 331 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:48.920 old? What age? I'm not I'm not too sure the exact age. 332 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.559 I've always been athletics. So I started playing softball when I was four years 333 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:55.880 old. And even when I when I played softball, I had dreams seen 334 00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:00.079 Olympic champion. And I mean that that translated and transferred into into wrestling. 335 00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:04.880 So I mean I fell in love with with wrestling and I stopped playing softball, 336 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:07.279 but I still had the same goal as to be an Olympic champion. 337 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.559 So I feel like I've just a lot of people in my life who've always 338 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:18.119 believed in me and spoke, you know, affirmations, and they've always spoke 339 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.400 and expected excellence of me. That it's just kind of the naturalm. But 340 00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:27.079 but from softball, how did wrestling get on your radar? I was just 341 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:32.839 on a season season break and my theo, Anthony Burshak, he opened up 342 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.440 Tenth Planet, which is a digitsu gym, so he was inviting a bunch 343 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:38.599 of people to go try it out, and my dad talked me into it. 344 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.079 So I want to go try out ju jitsu for a little bit. 345 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:47.400 And I was actually doing digitsu and softball for maybe four or six months together, 346 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.519 and then I started learning well during during jiu jitsu, my theo Anthony 347 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:59.240 he was teaching me like takedown and stuff from wrestling. So I just became 348 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.799 more interested in wrestling, and I hopped around a bunch of different clubs in 349 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.039 Tucson, and then from there I kind of just focused on wrestling, and 350 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:12.079 and you know, I guess two treasons then. But so so when you 351 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.440 first had your first meet, are you nervous? You? What are you 352 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.160 thinking? And it says, oh no, what am I doing? Or 353 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.680 how was that first one? My first match? I'm honestly not just sure 354 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.880 how it went. I do remember I actually wrestled a current teammate, so 355 00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.119 he beat me my very first match, and he became a good friend and 356 00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:37.279 partner over the years. But I think I'm pretty sure I was nervous. 357 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:44.200 I still get nervous to this day. So yeah, I'm pretty sure I 358 00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:48.079 was nervous. I don't remember too much. So at some point you decided, 359 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:51.880 you know, you got good, right, so you decided, all 360 00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:55.519 right, I'm gonna start taking on the boys. And that was the decision 361 00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:59.480 that you would have had to make, and what was your thinking behind that? 362 00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:07.160 So I actually started off by wrestling boys since girls wasn't as big of 363 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.920 a sport as it is now then it was seven years ago. When I 364 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.400 started, it was kind of just normal for everybody to wrestle boys. I 365 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.519 mean in the in the clubs, in the wrestling room, in the tournaments, 366 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.839 there was the majority of boys obviously, So those brackets were bigger and 367 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.240 I would always wrestle the boys when I was younger. I remember I would 368 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.119 go to boys nationals. I think once I placed like Aceh and Greco. 369 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:36.160 But yeah, it's just kind of always something I've done. Obviously, when 370 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.160 I get to a national level, when I'm trying to make world teams, 371 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:42.519 I'll wrestle girls. But it was just something I was already doing, so 372 00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:48.079 I figured why not just do it in high school as well, especially if 373 00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.240 it was my last year. Well, such a such an accomplishment. You 374 00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.720 what's your record? Do you know what your record is? Overall? I'm 375 00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.839 not too sure. No, I guess I've never kept track. Wow. 376 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:04.319 Wow, okay, so now now what we know. You were in Mexico 377 00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.920 a month ago or so. We tried to get you on and you were 378 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:14.039 all doing your your your Olympic stuff. So it was actually the ten Am 379 00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:19.200 Championships. I'm second, I'm second in line for this on the senior team. 380 00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:23.480 So the first the number one couldn't make it, so then they called 381 00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:26.799 me to go and I ended up getting bronze while I was out there. 382 00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:32.119 But the Olympic trials are actually in two days, I mean two weeks, 383 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.000 sorry, two weeks and half weeks, right, yeah, So tell us 384 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.240 how that works. I mean, what you know, what, what are 385 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:38.680 you gonna have to go through? How many matches do you have to win? 386 00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:45.680 And have you been preparing for that? So? I qualified for the 387 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.599 Olympic Trials through the U twenty and U twenty three silver medals, World silver 388 00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:56.960 silver medal. There's multiple qualifiers, I mean like tournaments of the national tournament 389 00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:02.000 December. There's one coming this weekend that's qual a fire, but so pretty 390 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.119 much there's I think it's a sixteen man bracket and that's called the Challenge Tournament 391 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:11.000 that I'll be wrestling on Friday and then on Saturday, assuming I win all 392 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:17.279 of those matches on Friday, I'll wrestle this the number one Sarah Hilton brat 393 00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.400 out of the best two out of three series to make the team. Let 394 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.400 me ask you up, where do you have a big family and where do 395 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:29.920 you land in that family in terms of being So I have an oldest sister, 396 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.319 she's twenty three years old, but she is the she's the she's my 397 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.880 only sibling. Okay, So you don't have any brothers? No, I 398 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.759 don't know. I was gonna ask they'd probably be afraid of is they're probably 399 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:47.200 lucky them. Oh no, So so what about cousins and stuff, because 400 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.839 I'm sure there are there are guys out there that you say, I don't 401 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.680 mean, is there wrestling in your family and the rest of your family? 402 00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:57.160 Uh huh, So I have, I have you. I have a pretty 403 00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.480 big family, So I do have a lot of cousins in the majority of 404 00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.519 them are boys there. They are a lot bigger than me. So they 405 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:10.079 played basketball, they played football. I mean they're they're they're bigger in those 406 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:12.960 sports for sure. But I mean growing up we would play football. But 407 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:17.920 I mean even now, I don't think that's just scared of me. But 408 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.720 they're way bigger than me, so they shouldn't be. So what at what 409 00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:25.200 age did you say, hmm, I think I have something here or maybe 410 00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:30.799 someone told you, Hey, you have something here. I'm not I'm not 411 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:34.400 too sure. I think when I really felt that I was it was twenty 412 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.880 twenty one, so it was only a few years ago. That was the 413 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:40.160 first year I made a world team, and I was just like, that's 414 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.640 when I really felt my progress and that's when I really saw my improvement. 415 00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:47.319 So that was that was big for me. But I feel like I've just 416 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:51.319 been blessed overall. I mean there's people that have come into my life, 417 00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:56.599 Coaches, you know, teammates that have always just I guess helped me, 418 00:28:57.240 --> 00:29:03.480 help me like feel the fire of my dreams. And it's just it's I 419 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:07.440 feel like there's not really a time where I've ever felt like, Okay, 420 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:10.240 I can be special or I can be good. It's just kind of like 421 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.640 a day by day thing. We're talking to Audrey Human as a wrestler from 422 00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.920 Sunnyside but also world class, right, I guess we can say take shot 423 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.119 at the Olympic. I'd you tell us a little bit about your your daily 424 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.839 regimen in terms of you know, be you know, staying in shape, 425 00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:30.880 conditioning, all the things that you've got to do to be prepared. You 426 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.079 said that you know the Olympic trials are coming up in a few weeks. 427 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.799 Tell us what you're what you're doing now to prepare for all of that and 428 00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:44.319 how much time does that take right now? I mean it changes. I 429 00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.720 feel like every kind of training camp just seeing what I'm able to do or 430 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.559 how I feel that day. But currently I'll lift at six am and then 431 00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:59.559 for an hour and then I'll practice at seven thirty to maybe eight thirty ish, 432 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.400 and then I go to school, and then after school, we'll practice 433 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:10.680 again at three for about an hour and a half and then I'll go home 434 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.960 and either I'll recover or maybe once twice a week, I'll go to another 435 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.200 practice in the evening. Wow, who do you who do you practice with? 436 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.319 And what does that mean? When when you're practicing, are you practicing 437 00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.599 against you know, wrestlers, you know, your same your same weight and 438 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.960 stuff like that, or you're trying to practice against people who are stronger than 439 00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.880 you. What do you do? And we apologize for the questions, Yeah, 440 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.880 because we don't know what the hell we're doing. Yeah, no worries. 441 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.559 So I mean pretty much I practice. How it's structured is we'll warm 442 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.000 up, We'll obviously jog, will stretch out, We'll do some dynamic stretches, 443 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.559 and we'll do like gymnastics, you know, roles just to get our 444 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.480 body moving. We'll do like stance in motion with no partner where we're just 445 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.680 in the movement, and then we'll drill for a little bit, like certain 446 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.359 techniques that's usually a sack place plas drill, and then we go into live 447 00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.759 goes. So that's kind of we just grab a partner and then give it 448 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.319 our all, you know, feel the different positions and get a real life 449 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:12.920 match look. And that's pretty much how how our practices go. But when 450 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:18.359 it comes to partners, my main partner I feel like is our thirty eight 451 00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:23.839 calendars, So he's a lot bigger, but his style wrestling he's able to. 452 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:26.359 Obviously, he doesn't use all of his way all of them strength with 453 00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:32.400 me, but he gives me a really good look and I mean it's he's 454 00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:33.920 a great wrestler. So I mean, I mean, I'll even switch up 455 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.480 partners with you know, our middle schoolers. I go with a lot of 456 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.240 middle schoolers because I am small, So it just we switch around partners a 457 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.759 lot, so it doesn't it doesn't really matter, you know, their size. 458 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:52.640 Obviously I'm not gonna go wrestle with a heavyweight, but as long as 459 00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.039 they're kind of close. So you we said that you were state titled will 460 00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:01.200 state winner, right, right, the first one, first first female to 461 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:06.599 win the boys division, right, Yes, yeah, so that must have 462 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.519 been just crazy proud of yourself, and I'm sure your family was too. 463 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.759 How did the other guy take it. I didn't see him after the match. 464 00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:22.240 I mean he was very respectful. He shook my hands. There wasn't 465 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:27.440 any really commotion after the match or anything. And I did because that his 466 00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:29.920 dad is very respectful. And I mean it was a great match. He 467 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:35.599 wrestled a really great match overall. So I mean his parents and his dad 468 00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:42.279 at least was really respectful. Good sportsmanship. So yeah, great to hear. 469 00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.119 So tell us a little bit about your coach. Coach Leon, Uh, 470 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.519 he's you know, he's been around, He's got a bunch of state 471 00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:52.160 championships under his belt. How is he contributed? And he was down in 472 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.559 Mexico with you. So is he? Is he a mentor a coach, 473 00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:59.559 all those things, maybe a little bit of a parent to help you through 474 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:02.519 some of this stuff. Yes, I would say all of the buzz for 475 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:07.480 sure. He's I owe a lot of the credit to him because you know, 476 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:10.000 he's helped me with my mindset. He's helped me obviously with my training, 477 00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:15.400 and he gives me great advice, whether that's you know, in school, 478 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:22.240 on the mat, whatever it may be. And I mean he travels 479 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.839 with me to you know, world see the international competitions and he's he's just 480 00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.240 a really great coach. He really does care about our while being overall and 481 00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:36.599 not just winning, not just you know, not just wrestling. So so 482 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:40.359 like having that relationship as you know, a mentor, it really means a 483 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:45.960 lot and that translates onto the mat besides the Olympic. Hopeful that you are 484 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:52.160 what's next for you academically. So I just admitted to Lehigh University. So 485 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:58.119 I'll be graduating high school May twenty second, I believe, and then I'll 486 00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:01.680 leave to Lehigh maybe August. I don't have an exact date, but I'm 487 00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:07.119 looking to study engineering over there Lehigh University. It's in Pennsylvania. So that's 488 00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:12.599 so far. I know what I know. Lehigh's out in the east. 489 00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.679 What what what went into that that that pick and what other opportunities did you 490 00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:21.559 have that you thought about? So right now they just have a club team. 491 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.280 They're looking to build a program by twenty twenty sixth a women's program. 492 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:30.920 They have a great men's men's program right now. But I feel like they 493 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:35.400 just they were able to offer everything I was looking for when whether like that's 494 00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:38.559 school, whether that's training. They have a great wrestling facility, they have 495 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:45.320 great education I was. It was pretty difficult because I got accepted into Columbia 496 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.960 University, so having to turn down that Ivy League education was a bit difficult. 497 00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:53.800 But I knew Lehigh was the best place for me with the location. 498 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:59.039 It's in the mountains. It's such a nice campus, and I mean just 499 00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.280 the community over the they really care about, you know, the process, 500 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:07.679 and they really care about building yourself up for the best future possible. I'm 501 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.840 curious if you've if you've met Bravo and maybe you've gotten some advice from him. 502 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.079 If you have, yes, I have so. Actually, when I 503 00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:21.320 came to Sunnyside as a middle schooler, he was the first person, or 504 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.039 the first high schooler at least I kind of rolled around with and he he 505 00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:28.960 was the guy I looked up to a lot. You know, I try 506 00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:32.199 even now following his footsteps. He's one of my favorite wrestlers. I love 507 00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:38.039 his style. He comes down for the breaks whenever he can, and you 508 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:42.199 know, he rolls with us. He he helps us out and he does 509 00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.000 us some good stuff. Yeah, I just I just really look up to 510 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.280 him, and he's been he's been a great role model and I feel like 511 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:53.679 just a great representation of Sunnyside.

Hey, welcome back to il the mark here Fox sportsporteen fe to 571 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:05.360 young Steve Roberta, He's Jacobs as you have analyse here for the hour and 572 00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:13.079 you wanted to bring something up. Oh yeah, we talked about it five 573 00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.880 minutes ago when I forgot about it. Ben Boltch, who's been a guest 574 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.639 of the show. He's the U c l A beat writer, you know, 575 00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:25.199 friend of the show. I guess I met him in in uh In 576 00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.559 at the PAC twof tournament, introduced myself to him, talk to him for 577 00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:32.960 a few minutes, wrote a kind of a I don't know how how do 578 00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:37.159 you describe the column that he did previewing the L s U. Well, 579 00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:38.639 you knew what he was doing c l A. He trying to paint a 580 00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:43.400 picture of bad guys versus good guys, but he used some words that were 581 00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:50.000 probably not advisable, and and and and fans took it as a sort of 582 00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.800 you know, very kind of a racist you know, the the L s 583 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:58.880 U uh you know the and the African American you know, gangster players versus 584 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:05.360 the the you know the princesses that you U c l A. And and 585 00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:08.840 man it it well, one of the things that did it took the It 586 00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:14.880 took the spotlight off of Kim Malki talking about the Washington Post piece when they 587 00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:16.760 put it firmly on the on the sale time. Do you know how it 588 00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:22.840 all started by accident? It was by accident. So he wrote the story. 589 00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:27.559 It may have not have gotten any kind of feedback from anybody or from 590 00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.119 anybody, but the u c. L A coach saw the headline. She 591 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:35.599 she saw it. She said, oh look another story of or talking about 592 00:41:35.679 --> 00:41:39.239 promoting the game. So she sends it to Molchy. She actually reads the 593 00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:45.440 story. Oops, yeah, oops, Because the coach from UCLA apologized she 594 00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:51.079 hadn't really read the story right, And that's what got you here. I 595 00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:53.559 think Ben Bolch, I know Ben Bolch, after covering the team for a 596 00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:57.800 long time, A good guy. Uh, he's written a couple of things 597 00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:00.119 that have kind of been on the edge. He won about tw songs. 598 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:04.039 A lot of people Tucson got a little offended, were a lot offended. 599 00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:09.360 And here we are. He apologized about a fifty word type of apology. 600 00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:14.320 You see it right on. Yeah, let me let me read a little 601 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:16.320 segment of it. He you know, he said it took him longer to 602 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:21.400 apologize than he really wanted to, really wanted to put some some thoughts ageinst 603 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:23.159 He said, words matter. As a journalist, no one should know this 604 00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:27.239 more than me. And I failed miserably in my choice of words in my 605 00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.679 column previewing the lsu U s LA when the basketball game, I tried to 606 00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:34.320 be clever in my phrasing about one team's attitude he's in alliteration, while not 607 00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.559 understanding the deeply offensive connotation or associations. Also these metaphors that were not appropriate. 608 00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:42.760 Our society has had to deal with many, so many layers of misogyny, 609 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:45.960 racism, and negativity that I can now see why the words I used 610 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:47.320 were wrong. It was not my intent to be hurtful, but I now 611 00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.280 understand that I terribly missed the mark. And he goes on too. You 612 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.360 seems just to really apologize to lsu U said la and all the and anybody 613 00:42:55.400 --> 00:42:59.440 else said yeah, a lot of people said okay, thank you, and 614 00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:01.840 a lot of people said not good, not GOODA and you're gonna get those 615 00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:07.679 people and if you can ever please everybody. So so here we are. 616 00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.119 I'm the only time is going through a lot of stuff right now there. 617 00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:14.199 I've let go of a lot of the sports writers. It's almost a shell 618 00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:17.079 of itself back when we covered the teams back in the day. The journalism 619 00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:21.400 itself is gone, gone, to whatever it is now, so we'll see 620 00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:24.599 what more comes of this. I think I think he maybe he's okay. 621 00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:31.840 Now I'm not sure because you follow that thread on on on Twitter, right, 622 00:43:32.519 --> 00:43:36.920 no question, So so let me ask you after that, did you 623 00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.079 ever read the monkey story? Finally, you haven't to do some homeworks, 624 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:46.079 so I know I do some homeworks. These are my busy days, because 625 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:53.239 you'll see I keep hearing about it. J mol Gonzales that you have a 626 00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:59.880 little did you read this compares to yeah, okay, well you'll say, 627 00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:02.280 oh that's what Steve bent. Yeah, oh I'll read Okay, I promise 628 00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:06.559 I'll read it tonight. Oh did you watch your game last night? I 629 00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:08.159 get Did you watch? Watch a lot of it? Yeah? You didn't? 630 00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:12.880 You have too many things going on? Well you twelve point three million 631 00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:16.880 people did. I thought it was ten, but this twelve sixteen, sixteen 632 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:22.960 million probably done. What a fantastic game. I tweeted somebody from Iowa saying, 633 00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:28.079 and I've seen her before obviously, Yeah she's fantastic. She's fantastic. 634 00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:31.960 Yeah, you know. And and it's funny because one of the analysis I 635 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:37.840 heard analysis I heard of it was that it's kind of like you know, 636 00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:42.000 zach Edy or any great player you see on the team, they're going to 637 00:44:42.079 --> 00:44:44.960 get theirs. Yeah, so what you have to do? Oh, it 638 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:46.320 was you know, it was it was. It was. It was Kim 639 00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:50.679 wl Key. It was her comments at postgame Chris that I heard, you 640 00:44:50.760 --> 00:44:53.559 know on another show, basically saying that you know, a player like her 641 00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:57.119 is going to get hers. It's when you don't stop. The rest of 642 00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.159 the team is when you get beat like that and that, and that's what 643 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.800 happened. The rest of the team went off, you know, because of 644 00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:06.639 her. You know, she got her forty one points, she got twelve 645 00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:09.559 rebounds, but what she was doing open the door for the rest of the 646 00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:13.760 team, so you know, you know they're they're look, there'd been great 647 00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:21.039 player pistol Pete Mayrivitch was one of the greatest individual college basketball players ever and 648 00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:23.559 his teams were never that good because he didn't have any guys around them, 649 00:45:23.639 --> 00:45:25.840 right, you know, and and that that was the you know, the 650 00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:31.320 sense of it. You know, like when Arizona played played Purdue, right, 651 00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:37.679 you know, Zachie was going to get his he he because other guys 652 00:45:37.719 --> 00:45:39.679 are the one those other guys, those guards that were shooting the lights out 653 00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:43.960 of the reasons Arizona lost that game, and that's what that's what it is. 654 00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:46.280 Yeah, yeah, that's no question. What impressed me obviously her shooting, 655 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:51.960 but she had thirteen assists and those assists were fun to watch. Yeah, 656 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.360 you know, she found the open person underneath a bunch of bunch of 657 00:45:55.639 --> 00:46:00.119 really long passes, good passes. She's just fun to watch. I mean, 658 00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:05.679 she's obviously the stepf. It's the steff of of the women. It's 659 00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:07.639 gonna be fun to watch her down the road. I'm just wondering, and 660 00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.239 I wanted to have a deal. Maybe we still get a dal what we're 661 00:46:10.280 --> 00:46:14.400 trying to get because she tweeted, you know she's she's illegal. You know 662 00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:19.679 she's illegal. Uh And how do you you know? Boxing one, how 663 00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.840 do you stop? You can't. How do you can't? Probably you can't. 664 00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:25.559 There's no way you can guard. You can't guard her, which you 665 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:29.719 have to again, as as Kim Olkey said, you gotta guard the other 666 00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.440 ones. They're the ones that you got to stop because because you know, 667 00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.800 if she's gonna get twenty five or thirty or thirty five or forty points. 668 00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:44.400 But I heard she accounted for seventy seventy eight of the baskets, either as 669 00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:47.400 an assist or Okay, so you watch that game and you watch LSU do 670 00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.199 what they do and they were good too. Reese was fantastic as well some 671 00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:53.400 of the other players. And then you watch the next game, which I 672 00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:58.599 watched that one too, with Juju Juju doing what she does, and then 673 00:46:59.559 --> 00:47:02.840 the Yukon and I should know this one, the blonde, the blonde page 674 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.280 Backer, page Backer who we said three years ago that she's fantastic, and 675 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.599 then Arizona beater and then got she got hurt or whatever, and then she's 676 00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:15.119 back now and that's gonna be another great matchup of two similar players. You 677 00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:19.079 know, they can shoot from distance, they can get the others involved, 678 00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:23.519 creative. Uh, this women's game is going into another level, it is, 679 00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:28.760 you know, and that that's the talk. Uh you know that it's 680 00:47:28.920 --> 00:47:35.880 really whether this The question is can this sustain? Right? You know? 681 00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:38.960 Is Juju Watkins is going to be around long enough for the interest to to 682 00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:43.440 step because you watch her plane, you go, that's a that's a different 683 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:46.599 player for all the other ones as well. Not and funny, not in 684 00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:50.679 a Kaitlyn Clark kind of because Kaylen Clark just the way you know, she 685 00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:55.199 shoots from a mile away Juju Watkins is. You know, she's physical, 686 00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:00.840 she gets inside, she has a lot of moves to get to the basket, 687 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:02.840 and she can shoot. I just thought of this, and I hope 688 00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:07.199 I'm not gonna characterize her wrong. But she's lebron of. She gets to 689 00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:10.519 the back, she's downhill, she's downhill, and she knows how to move 690 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:15.440 around the basket. When she gets to the basket, she's that good and 691 00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:20.159 she can shoot it too. Now she plays a different game than the rest 692 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:23.119 of them. And and again, you know, I don't know what the 693 00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:27.239 w n b A rule is on when somebody can enter. I think they 694 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.639 got a thing. Three years two three years, three years related you, 695 00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:38.920 but it so long, couldn't begin to tell you, couldn't begin to tell 696 00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:45.960 you as an evolved Yeah, but you know she she plays a whole different 697 00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.280 game than than the others. Right. Well, the thing about it too 698 00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.039 is that they're making a ton of money, making money? Why why? 699 00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:58.480 Why leave? I heard that Kaelin Clark has made out of all college athletes, 700 00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:01.199 she made the most nil this year. Even the gymnasts from l S 701 00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:05.440 U over the her. Yeah, well that's what I heard the Urban Men 702 00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.719 and woman, which not surprising because she's now in the insurance business and all 703 00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:13.199 of a sudden, well you saw that she's been given or offered five million 704 00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:16.800 dollars to be in the Big Five with Doctor Dre, one of those guys, 705 00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:22.599 Doctor Dre, to play Oh no, no ice Cube, the Big 706 00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:24.679 Three, the Big Three. Five million dollars. She turned it down, 707 00:49:25.000 --> 00:49:28.960 she did. I don't know, I don't know. Okay, here's the 708 00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.679 here's the here's the rule on on w NBA draft eligibility. All n c 709 00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:40.119 w A players we are graduating seniors or turning twenty two years old. Algibe 710 00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:45.559 now twenty two, right, But she has a chance to come back if 711 00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:47.360 she wanted to. She to come back, So that KAYL Clark, Yeah, 712 00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:51.599 Watkins is not twenty no, No, she can come back for another 713 00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:54.519 tree. She could break that record. She well, she broke the all 714 00:49:54.639 --> 00:50:00.480 time freshman scoring record last night. It's just you know, I don't watch 715 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:04.119 the watching women's basketball. I did last night, and I watched it last 716 00:50:04.159 --> 00:50:07.199 week. I watched last year's Final four. It's just so I put the 717 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:12.119 game on in my car and on the drive home, you know I did. 718 00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:15.320 And that's how big it's gotten. And and I took my phone inside 719 00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:20.320 safeway with me, you know, to keep listening to it. You know 720 00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:23.000 that I mean. And then and you're when that game ended. I watched 721 00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:28.000 the USC game. I watched the USC partly, I'm gonna say though, 722 00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:31.519 partly because I want to see how back Connecticut really was. You know, 723 00:50:31.559 --> 00:50:36.639 there were three seed and that and the fact that I watched it kind of 724 00:50:36.639 --> 00:50:38.400 like Arizona beat these guys a couple of years ago to get in the final 725 00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:42.039 four. That was cool. Well, this is what I texted you, 726 00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:45.000 I think right after the game or whatever. So we got to get a 727 00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.760 DA on because and this is nothing to dow with the teams. I'm thinking, 728 00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:53.880 how did Arizona with seven people, seven players take this ua USC team 729 00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:59.760 to the brink not once, but twice. This is a USC team that 730 00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:04.000 was the virger getting to the final four with some very good players. How 731 00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.719 do you how did the DA pull that off? Right? It was just 732 00:51:06.920 --> 00:51:10.880 right there for them. She you know, yeah, she in retrospect, 733 00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:16.159 she's she works on magic. Yeah, she worked for this game or for 734 00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:22.119 this component. Yeah, no, absolutely, you know, with all the 735 00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:23.840 things they went through it. You know, they got beat badly a few 736 00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:28.000 times and stuff like that, but youet to have hung with usc all those 737 00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.360 times, right, it would have been ambarssed for if you see got into 738 00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:34.360 the final four. Oh yeah, of course, and they fell apart in 739 00:51:34.360 --> 00:51:36.960 the last three minutes. Yeah, it went south on. I mean, 740 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.599 I was going to say this for breaking news, but kind of what you 741 00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:43.719 were saying right about, you got an you can save it for if you 742 00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:45.039 want to hold it for a minute, Well just say that if this was 743 00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:50.280 the most watched n c double a women's game ever, women's college basketball game 744 00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.719 ever, more than more of youers in the twenty twenty three NBA Finals, 745 00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:58.920 more than every World Series game from last year year we'll talk about on the 746 00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:02.079 side. So maybe why why do you think that's happened now that we go 747 00:52:02.159 --> 00:52:07.960 to break put? Because why right? Because there's wait, don't answer it. 748 00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:12.639 Don't answer that you asked me, Yeah, but we got don't I 749 00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:15.199 got an answer. I got an answer. Okay, I do have an 750 00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:19.760 answer for that, all right, I gotta remember to ask you. All 751 00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:21.920 right, let's take our break. We're gonna come back and releast it's gonna 752 00:52:21.920 --> 00:52:23.599 have some breaking news for us. There's other stuff going on, and then 753 00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:29.440 uh, we're gonna have uh Brett Farrah sports editor. If there's another star 754 00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:34.320 who come and talk about his his take on how Bobby Robbins leaving uh the 755 00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:37.760 University of Arizona might impact athletics here, So stick around,
