Yeah, but good for him, you know 20 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.159 another you ake guy out in the NFL, So very good. I mean, 21 00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.120 Nick Folk is still kicking. I think Lucas Haversik was born after Nick 22 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.120 Folk left the event. Yeah, if you're consistent in one thing, yeah, 23 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.840 do it, babe it. Yeah, all right. In terms of 24 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.120 other breaking news, you guys already discustoming Snell this week. Yeah, top 25 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.439 thirty for Woman of the Year. Yeah, look looking to be the fifth 26 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.519 uh Arizona Woman of the Year obviously. Yeah, but no other woman in 27 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.480 the fact, twelve was nominated this year. Wow. Okay, well she 28 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.159 well we talk about this all the time. Her and Geist are the faces 29 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.000 or were the faces of the program, the whole overall athletic you know, 30 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.120 Olympians and the whole thing. And if they walked in the mall, they 31 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.400 would know who the heck they were. They wouldn't know who they were. 32 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.159 Yeah, and then they're probably maybe getting you know, getting water bottles as 33 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:15.039 nil and stuff like that, and you know, not getting the big bucks 34 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.360 and some of these other guys are getting. Yeah. But in terms of 35 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.120 breaking news. That was that was all I had. Okay, yeah, 36 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.199 all right, Well, you know there's a I mean, there's a whole 37 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.800 lot of stuff that you know, is always going on. So I had 38 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.919 a couple here and I can't remember what the hell they were. So we 39 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.840 Arizona Softball got two more commitments for the class of twenty twenty five. Oh 40 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.639 that was big. That was That was big. Okay. So our friend 41 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:45.719 Jake Fisher is pounding up on big Game Boomer because he posted the top fifty 42 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:52.479 wide receiver duos in college football and he had Cowing and t Mac at twenty 43 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.240 two. Jacob's like Arizon his boys our top five basically, he sounds Yeah, 44 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.560 that sounds let's unless we're missing missing out on what the other teams have. 45 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.199 Yeah, yeah, they're at least in the top ten. Well, 46 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:12.039 of course, you where's you see Taj Washington and Brandon Rice at eleven, 47 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:21.520 the Washington guys at two, Romey Romey, o'dunzie and Jayalen Polk. Then 48 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.240 he's got USC in there. There's you know, he's got Oregon States guys 49 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.800 in there, Silas Bolden and Anthony Gould at nineteen. It's it's hard to 50 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.680 argue with Tim Makin and Jacob Colling. You know, but we'll say, 51 00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.960 look in the end, Arizona's four and three right now, so you know, 52 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.319 they win some more games, they'll get more of this. So I 53 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.560 think, yeah, so you I think you missed a big one, the 54 00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:51.800 big one being San Diego Padres manager Melo Melvioyn going to the Giants. Yeah, 55 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:54.800 Bob Melvin, which would be strange to me. Why would you want 56 00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:59.680 to do that? I don't know. I mean, come on, get 57 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.360 the guys really good. But she was the one when that one the Giants, 58 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.439 you know, three three world again and he's doing it against some type 59 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.759 of imagine. Well there's one. Okay. So we got the Diamondbacks coming 60 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.560 on this afternoon. Up to now, I've not been a huge fan of 61 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.000 the Diamondbacks obviously now because they beat the Dodgers. I will say, for 62 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:20.279 all of you Diamondbacks fans who care, don't you probably don't even care if 63 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:25.120 I that I care, I'm moving for the Diamondbacks tonight. Are you good 64 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.160 luck with you? Guys? Good luck? I didn't. I haven't bet 65 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.839 on them. I'm not gonna bet on the game. No, nothing like 66 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.040 that. I'm gonna stay away. I'm just let it be. I don't 67 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.600 want to have any influence on it. I am. I am thinking about 68 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.240 taking one for the team and locking Oregon State this week. What do you 69 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:50.560 think, Oh? They can thinking if I lock Oregon State. The only 70 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.759 thing that would go could go wrong is if Oregon State were to win but 71 00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.480 not cover and it's only a three and right now three and a half points, 72 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.560 would they could get three? Yeah? Last second field goal? But 73 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.279 I figure if I take Oregon State and they went by a touchdown, fine, 74 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.519 I've hit my back. Or if they lose, you know, then 75 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.879 Arizona, Arizona. It's good for a zone. Well, you've hit four 76 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.199 or five games? Switch or you're five and what what are you? Five? 77 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.279 Total? No? Five? Six total? No more than I'm like 78 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.279 eight? No? No, you know, no, not total points? 79 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.399 Oh six points? I thought your main number of games? No, No, 80 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.959 six six, six points. That's what at the end of the day, 81 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:38.399 you're you're known for your results. Okay, so that record, that 82 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:44.160 record is not keeping, You're right. So so where do you stand on 83 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.560 Oregon State because you've not liked them most of the year. Yeah, and 84 00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.959 the quarterback specifically, here's it. Here's the thing, and this is really 85 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:57.160 not about whether whether I think Oregon State is good or not good. This 86 00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:04.000 is a game that historically Arizona doesn't do well because they had a big, 87 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:09.959 a nice win, look very impressive, knock the crap out of Washington State 88 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:15.839 at Washington State. They're coming home, You'll think they're all excited, and 89 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.399 then you know, they get beat up. You're exactly right. I've seen 90 00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:25.920 it a thousand times, wasn't it. I think the week after they beat 91 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.800 Oregon in twenty fourteen, week after they beat Oregon up there, one of 92 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.759 the biggest wins in Arizona football history. And then they come down here and 93 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.279 lose to USC. Sure, right, you know, and not a really 94 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:40.000 good USC team. And that's the kind of thing that you know, happens 95 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.240 all the time. Happens all the time with Arizona. They don't sustain it. 96 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.560 Well. The funny thing about it this year specifically, there are no 97 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.240 trap games. There are no trap games because every game, every game is 98 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.040 a big game, right. You can't overlook this team to face use Cilly 99 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.879 next week or Colorado the week after, because they're all all equal importance, 100 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.040 right, And along those lines, Steve, you know, the Stanford game 101 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.240 is the game that you know, is a game that normally turns into a 102 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:11.160 lot. Sure, they played poorly against a bad team that they shouldn't be 103 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.319 losing to, and they and in this case they almost did, but they 104 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.160 didn't. They won the game. They pulled it out. So that tells 105 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.959 me, maybe is this team different. Maybe it is. Maybe they're so 106 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.199 zeroed in on beating Oregon State that they that they might win the game. 107 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.959 You know, Oregon State is a good team. I not. I don't 108 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:35.439 think they're like a Pack twelve championship, no normal team. They're top five. 109 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.120 Yeah, but I mean they lost to Washington State, right, didn't 110 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.600 they? Yeah, it was on the road, had Washington State because I 111 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.079 thought Washington State was a better team at that at that time, at that 112 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.079 time. But they committed a game at the end, they made it a 113 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.120 game at the end. Oregon State's good. I mean, they have a 114 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.360 good coach. I thought Fisher's analogy to their team and his program was pretty 115 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:01.680 good. You don't play that. Let's let's play that that clip because he 116 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.160 was asked, look uh on that go down a little bit, look for 117 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.079 number where it says always you comparison number, it's near the top right there. 118 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:16.680 Hit the you gotta get a little training here, all the way up, 119 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.839 all the way up the way. I don't know, you know, 120 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.079 we haven't gotten to year five or six yet, but I would say that 121 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.040 if you look at just the way his team has developed, then the type 122 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.639 of football they play, the brand the football they play, I think we 123 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.879 are similarities in that regard. We believe in a lot of the same things, 124 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.360 a lot of the same principles. We believe in how you high school 125 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.720 recruits a certain group of players and develop those players and try to help those 126 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:50.240 players, uh move on as part of your program, uh into the next 127 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.480 level. I think that he came from an offensive background. He was an 128 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.600 offensive coordinator at UDUB, so we have similar beliefs in terms of coaching the 129 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.240 quarterbacks and and and there as well. But yeah, I just admire admire 130 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:09.320 him from AFAR have become friendly with him through the years, so I've been 131 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.120 able to get to know him better and better and better. And you could 132 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.759 see the progress that Oregon stands made under his direction, and hopefully we'll be 133 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.600 able to take those same leaves and be sitting at the eleventh in the country 134 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.639 one day as well. So, Jay, you've had the opportunity to go 135 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.840 to Corvallis a time or two. Right, it's in the middle of nowhere. 136 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.240 It's like, with all due respect, Morana. Yeah, it's a 137 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.840 good one, like in between Morana and Constant Ground can like that. I 138 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.759 went, sure, yeah, kind of just like there. And it's you 139 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.279 have to go off the road to go there and have an AMW maybe a 140 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.840 steakhouse and that's about it that I can remember that one of those diners where 141 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.559 you get the turkey gravy, yeah, white, no, exactly, that's 142 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.919 Alice and Alice Diner. Right. So so if this guy can win, 143 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.639 or anybody could win there, you must be a darn good coach, you 144 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.120 know. It's like the baseball coach, Yes, how do you win there? 145 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.679 Unless you're fantastic coach? This football coaches must be pretty good, because 146 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.720 how in the world are you gonna get kids to go there one and to 147 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.879 play out of their minds? Well, one thing is he's committed to the 148 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.480 place, right, He played there, right, okay, and so he 149 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:24.720 believes in the place. He loves the place, so he can if he 150 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.000 can get that, you know, to the players and have them believe that 151 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.720 it's a good place to go because he loves it there. That that helps, 152 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.440 you know, if if a coach, if a coach looks like he 153 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.639 doesn't want to be there, how do you get other guys to come A 154 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.639 kaa Kevin smlan, Right, So, uh, just beating the dead horse. 155 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.279 I can't help myself. But how do you feel sorry for me? 156 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.159 But you know that's probably one of the things, Steve, I mean, 157 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:56.120 how do you get you know, dj U galle to come from Clemson to 158 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.759 Oregon State One. You got to get him to believe that he can help 159 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.879 them get to his goals, which is to get to the NFL, but 160 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.360 to that it's a good place to come to from a place like Clemson, 161 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.480 which I can't imagine. It's further, it could be any more different. 162 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.240 Well, and you're going to a place where Oregon is. That's your footstep 163 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.960 Oregon. You know the pretty girls over there, and you're over here, 164 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.799 Washington's up the road, all these steppers down here. No, No, 165 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.320 he's done a great job. A great job, because that doesn't happen. 166 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.440 I mean, it's like when Tinkle did really well that one year and how 167 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.840 did that happen? That one was a one off? Well, it did 168 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.639 happen, But you're right. I mean, you know, Jonathan Smith has 169 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.080 to again, you know, create something in the mind of a of a 170 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:50.720 player to convince him to come and more importantly, to stick around. He's 171 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.840 got to be able to convince them we can beat Oregon, we can beat 172 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.480 Washington, sure, you know, around here to recruit, you know, 173 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.840 to Arizona. You guys say, we can beat a SU we can beat 174 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.120 you c l A, we can beat usc And that's what you have to 175 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.720 be able to do to get those LA guys to come here and and or 176 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.679 we you know. So yeah, no, you get you give a guy. 177 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.720 You got to give a guy a lot of credit, you know. 178 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.480 And that question was, you know, do you see your program at all 179 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.399 when you see Oregon State in Jed's basis And I guess so you hadn't really 180 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.080 thought about it, but he's been there a while. Yeah, but yeah, 181 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:26.039 he's had more time there. So we'll see, you know, you 182 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.919 know, give us five years and maybe we'll be you know, number eleven 183 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.639 in the country in five in three more years. So let me ask you. 184 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.360 We we've had the jet On a couple of times on the show. 185 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.679 Rate we see him a lot at the games or at the press commersons, 186 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:46.720 Uh, did your did your eyes or your your thoughts change after last week's 187 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.759 interview with him in terms of him being a better coach, different than what 188 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.320 you thought? Going no, No, I think what I you know, 189 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.279 what I felt last week was that, you know, we asked him a 190 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:00.960 couple of questions that we've been dying to ask him, you know, his 191 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.919 long term plan for being here, you know, and some of those things. 192 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.080 And I feel like we got a better sense of that. But I 193 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.440 don't think I walked away from the interview thinking anything different about him. He's 194 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.000 still you know, he's the coach. He still looks like a guy who 195 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.720 you know, was a tennis player in college. But I think he's really 196 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.799 damn smart. That's for sure. What I heard him, Like I said, 197 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:28.759 the last week at that press comings that Monday of last week and when 198 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.399 there was a buy and he talked about, you know, being the U 199 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.679 c l A and being at the Rams, I'm thinking, yeah, maybe 200 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.159 we sold them short when he first got here. And he's been everywhere, 201 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:43.320 right, He's been everywhere and there's there's something to that. And the dude, 202 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.080 the smart dude, there's still savvy. You don't get to where you're 203 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.320 at by not knowing what you're doing. Well, you can tell that everywhere 204 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.480 he's been he's studied. Yeah, the guys that he's been coaching, whether 205 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.799 a head coach like Bill Belichick, Jim Moore at U c l A. 206 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.679 You know, he was up at Michigan with Harbor, you can tell he 207 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.720 studied and paid attention to what they do and how they do it. And 208 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.919 he's he's absorbed all of that and that's what makes him really smart as a 209 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.519 coach, and that's why he's a head coach now because he's been able to 210 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.080 convince people I know this stuff. Okay, so I didn't play college football, 211 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.080 but I know this stuff. You know, just like the CEO knows 212 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:26.000 how to run their business because they've kind of worked their way up through the 213 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.600 business.

It's the first time 309 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:30.599 we've had a chance to get you on the show. You got to be 310 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.559 pretty fired up. You got your exhibition opener tomorrow and the season's right there 311 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.319 for you. Just tell us some things that are going through your mind right 312 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.279 now as you get started, you know, probably moving up on the food 313 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.960 chain a little bit in the lineup. So tell us how things are going 314 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.839 with you. You know, I've just been really hungry. I feel like, 315 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.559 you know, we got a lot of girls on this teams that are 316 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.359 really hungry and are expecting a lot of things this year. So I'm really 317 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.119 excited. How was it last year sitting out and then getting ready for this 318 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.960 year? You know, it was very motivating. Like, you know, 319 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.039 I had a lot of times where you know, I was kind of upset 320 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:15.039 about playing time, but you know, I just felt like it it prepared 321 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.519 me for you know, what's to come for this year. So so you 322 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.119 guys have been practicing, you know, haven't had a chance to you know, 323 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:23.480 get any games and stuff like that. But you know, what do 324 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:30.200 you see about this team this year that already that might be different from last 325 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.119 year? You got a lot of new faces, obviously, but in terms 326 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.799 of the way you're going to play, the roles that everybody's in. What 327 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.799 what's that been like to figure out over the over the the preseason. I 328 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.319 definitely this team we played a lot more defense, and also I think we 329 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.720 play better together. I feel like last year we had a lot of people 330 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.759 that were kind of just trying to get there. But I feel like this 331 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.240 year, you know, people want to share the ball, swing it and 332 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.519 just help other other people get looked as well. So, yeah, so 333 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.720 you're from Florida, correct, Yes? So so from Florida to Arizona, 334 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.480 so pretty far distance. What brought you here? What made you decide to 335 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:18.680 come to you there? So the first thing is definitely playing style, I 336 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:23.160 felt like I fit in here as the point guard, So definitely playing style. 337 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.119 I love the web. The weather being from Florida is really hot, 338 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.920 but Arizona's hot as well, so the weather made it perfect. And then 339 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:38.240 just really just the fans and stuff like we're number one in the park, 340 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.240 sols of fans, and I love playing in front of people. So that's 341 00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.960 those are my main third reasons, just real quick. And the bugs here 342 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.839 are smaller than the ones in Florida. Right, what did you say? 343 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.960 I said the bugs here are smaller than the ones they are in Florida with 344 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:59.559 all that humidity. Oh yeah, So okay, So you know you're people 345 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.960 are gonna get to know you this year more playing time, and you're probably 346 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.119 playing a key role over there. What do we what should we expect to 347 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.440 see from Kaylen Gilbert? What kind of player? How would you describe yourself 348 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:15.200 as a player. I feel like I do everything well and it really just 349 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.880 depends on the game. So you know, if I needed to assist and 350 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:23.359 facilitate, then that'll be my role that game. I need to defend and 351 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.960 lock down somebody, that'll be my role that game. If I need to 352 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.880 come out and score, then that'll be my role, so just playing like 353 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.160 whatever my team needs. So one of the things that's been talked about a 354 00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:38.799 lot is the two you know, fifth year or I don't know, maybe 355 00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:45.160 even six year seniors as Mary Martinez and and Helene to play tell us a 356 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:47.759 little bit about the what you know, what you're gaining from them, the 357 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.880 role they're playing on the team, and how how important is that can be 358 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.039 to to the rest of the team to have to We've been around quite a 359 00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:57.920 while now, Yeah, so you know, I love play and as Mary, 360 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:04.240 you know they as Mary start off with her like she last year she 361 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:07.000 used to push me a lot and she was telling me like come okay, 362 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.160 and then like she would, you know, put me in the right direction. 363 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:12.599 So this year, you know, she's kind of doing that as well, 364 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.680 Like it's like a certain play like she sees me like not like locating 365 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.599 fast enough, she'd let me know. So just her being more of a 366 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.920 leader, I really appreciate her. And then Quail just spoils i Q and 367 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.319 just overall like so for the game, like I just love the way she 368 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.799 plays, she does everything well. So yeah, I love playing with them 369 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.440 too. So Kaitlyn, so when you were being recruited Arizona. Was this 370 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.519 team coming off a Final Four appearance and had done very well last year. 371 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.759 They had a lot of high hopes and this year are less high hopes. 372 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:49.279 Is it kind of puts a chip on your guy's shoulder as a team to 373 00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:55.640 to look forward to this year? Definitely? I think I think a lot 374 00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:57.960 of players on this team, you know how that mindset of like, Okay, 375 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.160 you know we didn't really due to well last year, and you know 376 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.200 this is that chance to prove this year. I just feel like we have 377 00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:10.880 the right people and I think we'll play a lot better together as a team. 378 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.440 So you know, I really am looking forward to that. So there's 379 00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.240 some faces underneath the basket, Mynaji who you know if you played a lot 380 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:19.799 last year, but you know there were you know, some other people under 381 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.440 there. You know, what what's it gonna what's it gonna look like, 382 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:26.680 particularly offensively? What what are we going to see from from the team? 383 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.400 And is it gonna be a lot different or does the do you do what 384 00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:34.920 a da does? I mean, from like the standpoint of like the players 385 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:37.079 and like the way they play, I think it is gonna be a lot 386 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.000 different this year. Well, the kind of keeps the same philosophy. So 387 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.039 of course we'll be like pressing up on people playing a lot of defense, 388 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:49.480 so it'll be pretty much the same thing defensively. Have you have you thought 389 00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.640 put any thought into you know, you're gonna be playing a position that you 390 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.480 know one of the all time great players at Arizona. I know it's been 391 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:00.920 a few years, but if you probably probably saw Aery McDonald and what she 392 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.319 did here, do you put yourself in kind of look at her and say, 393 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.279 you know, there, maybe are there some similarities, some things I 394 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.880 wanted to do that she did or is she too far removed from the from 395 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:17.200 the from the program. No, I love area. I'll look up to 396 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:19.960 her game. She was one of the main reasons I came here, So 397 00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:26.400 just just seeing how she thrived in the system and just really just kind of 398 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.480 paving to win for myself. And you know, I look at areas like 399 00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.799 like this. I mean, she's great, she's a great player, so 400 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:37.880 you know, just trying to emulate that and just be the best version of 401 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.400 myself. Really that's the main thing. Oh that's nice, nice, nice, 402 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.000 So what do you what do you I'm sure you don't have any goals, 403 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:47.440 or do you have goals? Are you just a point guard who does 404 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:52.680 everything for everybody else and doesn't worry about your numbers. No, I just 405 00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.039 want to win this ultimate goal. I feel like if you win, everything 406 00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:59.680 else will take care of it. So so the main goal is shoes to 407 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:04.000 win the Taxol tournament. Well that's obviously, you know, that's that's what 408 00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:07.839 you're looking for. So as you get ready to go tomorrow, Uh, 409 00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.839 you know, what, what are we going to see tomorrow? A lot 410 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.880 of a lot of people just getting some playing time. Any ideas what our 411 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.480 idea is going to handle the exhibition game? Try to get a look at 412 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:22.160 everybody or are we going to see a lot tomorrow of what we might see 413 00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.160 going forward? What are your thoughts on that? I think we'll sit a 414 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.599 little bit. You know, it's you know, it's still early. People 415 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.559 are still kind of figuring out their role with the team. But I just 416 00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:37.039 think you'll see a lot of energy. I feel like we're tired playing against 417 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:40.440 one another. We finally want to go and you know, strap on somebody 418 00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:41.880 else's next. So I just think it's gonna be a lot of energy. 419 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.440 You're a tough point guard already talking about stepping up people's necks. We like 420 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.240 it here, like Florida. That's that Florida. Hey, you get to 421 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.440 go to the Bahamas, right, so you get to go sort of the 422 00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:57.960 you know, in your old area. That should be fun. Yeah, 423 00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:03.079 I'm looking forward. Yeah, Okay, well thanks for joining us, kill 424 00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:07.680 and we appreciated. Good luck. Ye appreciate it. Thanks about all right. 425 00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.200 So, so I think Arizona's going to be better than what people think 426 00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:18.799 of Jaya. But you know, once we get coach on and she's pretty 427 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.680 honest with us. So she tells us about her family and stuff, uh 428 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.279 that she the last two three years haven't been easy. They've been tough, 429 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.839 you know, and and the pieces kind of haven't fit right right right, 430 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.440 you know, ever since that final four year again, that final four year 431 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:37.960 created all this sure expectation that it's that's the way it's always gonna be right 432 00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.960 without Okay, we're there, and they weren't there, and and and and 433 00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.039 you found that that you know, these last couple of years, they had 434 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:47.920 a lot of pieces, but they weren't kind of you know, they didn't 435 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.400 And what's the most what's the most important thing in a team, the chemistry, 436 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:56.119 the chemists for each other, absolutely, you know, and she and 437 00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:57.920 she said it there, she said there were some some players on the team 438 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.920 who wanted to get there. That's why I wanted to use and guess what 439 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.799 the last two three years, I guess what we've heard exactly it looked like 440 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.319 that. It ex absolutely looked like that. And that was that was you 441 00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:12.920 know, and you know it that just drives a d nuts because you could 442 00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:18.359 she she kind of infers it in her discussions. I mean, look, 443 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.319 any team is supposed to play together with chemistry or whatever you want to call 444 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.279 it. Every and every coach wants every team to be that. So it's 445 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:30.119 got to drive any coach nuts when it's not, especially when they think they've 446 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:33.319 got really good players. Yeah, no question, I've covered a lot of 447 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:38.160 teams and loots and otherwise that they just didn't see eyther eye or whatever. 448 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:41.400 And there's only one ball. There were some Sean Miller teams that looked like 449 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.519 at the at the end, you know, well, the best team, 450 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:53.119 there's only one ball better, who played defense better on marketing then Trier, 451 00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.720 You're right, I mean, yeah, he was there, he was, 452 00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.920 he was he was Exavier's best to end or that day. Right, Oh, 453 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.079 yeah, exactly. I mean that's not a lie. We saw it 454 00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.160 with our own eyes. You don't know what referred to, right, You 455 00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:10.599 probably don't know what we're talking about. I do know, though I didn't 456 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:12.640 watch that game specifically, but yeah, I know I know the situation. 457 00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.000 Yeah, yeah, no, we saw it from the floor. That was 458 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.319 terrible. Yeah, that was terrible. But you know, again, you 459 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.400 know, every coach wants that, and so we'll we'll see how it how 460 00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.359 it starts to come together for Arizona. A lot of new faces, so 461 00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:27.720 you know that they've got to use these two exhibition games, uh, you 462 00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.920 know, to to really you know, get things in order and before they 463 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.359 before they get going in the regular season when they get picked eighth was it 464 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.119 seventh grade? It was there was low seventh or eighth, and there was 465 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:41.319 low. I think though, that her team's played better with that. Yeah, 466 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.039 when they're like, you know, I'll prove it to you. Yeah, 467 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.519 and I mean they won't, but I think that's that's what will happen. 468 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.599 I think a big key to that is is is Mary Martinez. Because 469 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:56.119 she's she looks like and she plays like somebody who's like, you know, 470 00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.960 get on this bandwagon and and you're going to do your part. I think 471 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:02.720 he learn to play was a little quiet, but not as uh. Yeah, 472 00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.400 I don't know, forceful, aggressive, whatever whatever you want to call 473 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:10.240 it. Uh. She can be a leader, you know, from an 474 00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:15.359 instruction standpoint and experienced standpoint. But I think I think as Mary is the 475 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:22.279 one that is going to kind of get other players to play harder, play 476 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.799 better, uh and and pull those things together. And they need somebody like 477 00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:29.839 that. I don't you know, I don't think they really had somebody like 478 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.240 that over the last you know, over the last few years. I think 479 00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:37.319 Sam Thomas was a little bit of that. Sam Thomas is so nice and 480 00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.799 smiley, and you know again like like like we're talking about Kashaw Johnson. 481 00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.119 You need somebody who's out there on the floor, sure saying I want you 482 00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:50.759 to kick somebody that they had. Who's the ben yan those people? Something 483 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.400 wasn't working there. Sure she got shipped out, you know, and so 484 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:57.279 yeah, you just don't know how those things are gonna go. So pright, 485 00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:59.559 should we take our last break? Yes, I'm still praying to my 486 00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.559 came on, but it's still kind of giving issues. There is a computer 487 00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.200 god, there is a good kid. All right, let's go take our 488 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.920 last break.

Now take a look back at 496 00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.559 the Ludolsen era in my new book, Lessons from Lut. It was a 497 00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:46.519 labor of love through the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and 498 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:51.480 friends to give insight to the coach and the man who led them, competed 499 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:53.920 against them, and inspired them.

Oh, Steve Rivera, you're Jiggins. Also got Kevin 532 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.719 in today. We got sixteen minutes. If you'd like to call, please 533 00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:34.440 do five two o four one six forty. Hey have you been? Have 534 00:36:34.519 --> 00:36:37.239 you been? Continued to follow this Michigan then, so there's more stuff came 535 00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:39.800 out today. Yeah, go ahead, and Tony well, okay, So 536 00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:45.559 according to Sports Illustrated, actually it was a ESPN story. Sports illustratedscording the 537 00:36:45.719 --> 00:36:51.239 ESPN story saying that this guy, Okay Connor Stallions, who's a an analyst 538 00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:54.679 uh with with Michigan, he's the one who's apparently been the guy allegedly buying 539 00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:02.159 tickets uh to all these games. So apparently he purchased in his name tickets 540 00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:09.039 to the Ohio State Penn State game on either side of the stadium, facing 541 00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:13.760 the benches, so so he could look right at the benches. So basically 542 00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:16.480 they're you know, they were gonna Now the tickets did not get used, 543 00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:22.559 but they were continuing to do this and a pair obviously did not show up 544 00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.800 for the games because you know, everybody's found out what's going on, but 545 00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:30.559 that this is the thing that they apparently have been doing, you know, 546 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:37.079 going to these games and filming, uh, you know, the other benches, 547 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.159 filming their signals to see if they can figure out what happens, you 548 00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:44.280 know, on each play and what the signal is on each play. And 549 00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:51.639 then they're saying that at Michigan games, you see Stallions himself standing next to 550 00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:55.559 Harbor all the time, so presumably telling him these are the signals that they 551 00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.760 just gave. This is bad. This is the defense that we need to 552 00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:04.320 under the Yeah, this is bad. I guess the guy is a is 553 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:08.559 a I think he's a Naval Academy grad and he's a military guy. So 554 00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:14.039 now they're saying, he's presumably a guy who understands, you know, codes 555 00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:17.440 and signals, and yeah, apparently he's supposed to be like a like a 556 00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.960 expert like pattern guy. Like see you know when third down they're running this 557 00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:29.119 offense or this defense in situational Well, that's what you do when you shout 558 00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:32.599 right, you find when you watch the film Tenancies, they just took it 559 00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.159 to another to another level, saying, Okay, this is the this signal 560 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:42.840 says they're running this particular defense or this particular play. Now the question becomes 561 00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:45.519 and that the you know, the the gazillion dollar question is going to be 562 00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:52.719 how much of this did Jim Harbaut either direct know about or you know, 563 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:57.119 how how involved was he? And then if you know, if if everybody's 564 00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.519 busted, what do you do? What do you do? This year? 565 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:04.119 For instance, where they're like it was pretty much a favor to win the 566 00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:09.079 National Championship? It right now? Right right? You know, it's it's 567 00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:13.119 bad. I mean, I think this is bad. And I on the 568 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:15.960 one hand, you don't sense that the NC DOUBLEA can work fast enough no 569 00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:21.320 to do anything about it. But if they don't, you know, what 570 00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.039 the hell? Right now, again, they're busted, so they're not going 571 00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:29.079 to do it probably anymore. But they were doing They had tickets all the 572 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.760 way up last week, you know, to do that for thirty games at 573 00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:37.000 eleven different yeah, different conference opponents. Yeah, it's nuts. It's nuts. 574 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:42.360 Is your computer on it? It's almost it's almost not I can see 575 00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.079 a background. Yeah, all right, it's just it's coming to it's again, 576 00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:47.280 it's still got to dry out. You just shouldn't pour iced tea on 577 00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:52.599 it. I have to think, right, don't they tell you not to 578 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.039 do that? Yeah? The first thing they do when you buy your Lenovo 579 00:39:54.199 --> 00:40:01.480 is okay, not not don't liquids on it, don't drink let's see if 580 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:05.840 it works. Sports some stuff on it, clean enough, but not safe. 581 00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:09.679 Anyway, the Michigan thing is getting worse by the day. You know, 582 00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:13.400 it's really getting worse by the day. So it would be to see 583 00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:15.599 what they what they do with this. So did you see also too, 584 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:19.559 SOSL and emocon that I guess Lincoln Riley, Well, so I'm gonna go 585 00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:22.519 with this transition to your Michigan thing. Lincoln really missed his radio show today, 586 00:40:22.800 --> 00:40:28.960 uh presumably or guess mentioning some NFL stuff, some NFL stuff something we 587 00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:31.519 talked about yesterday where he would you know, and then guess who's gonna probably 588 00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:35.360 follow him? Well, he don't have to deal with this stuff. He 589 00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.840 didn't want to know. I don't get your cheating. I'll go to the 590 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:43.559 NFL. You know, there's been a lot of I mean remember it was 591 00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:45.280 it like it like three years ago or something like that. He went and 592 00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:49.239 interviewed for the Minnesota job, remember that. Yeah, you know, in 593 00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.360 the off season and then they signed into you know, a big long term 594 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:58.760 contract. I don't know it's it's yeah. I mean, Harbor is widely 595 00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:00.360 seen as a guy who says he wants to do things the way he wants 596 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:02.079 to do them, and the an'body to give them any crab about it, 597 00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:06.119 he'll take his ball and go somewhere else. Sure, I think he's a 598 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:07.320 good coach. He's a good coach. That's the whole thing. I don't 599 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:12.440 know he needed to do this. Yeah, yeah, but again, well 600 00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.880 he's he's I think it's his nature to say, you know, I play 601 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:20.679 by my rules. I mean, the whole recruiting, during the you know, 602 00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:22.519 during the COVID thing, you know that he was doing and stuff like 603 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:27.119 that that he he got busted. Did he beat he beat I stay last 604 00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:29.719 week last year? Right, Why he's beating push in a round? Okay, 605 00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:35.800 so coincidence. Yeah, yeah, that's what I was gonna bring up. 606 00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:37.840 I was gonna say, like you, you brought up the fact that 607 00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.760 it might just be his nature, but it also could be it also could 608 00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:45.920 be the the fact that he hasn't been beating Bright. Let's take this call. 609 00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:52.639 Oh they hung up on us, Okay, hey, try calling back 610 00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:55.280 whoever whoever was just calling. Just now we kind of missed you, but 611 00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:59.159 try calling back. Sorry about that. Oh, let's try it again. 612 00:42:00.119 --> 00:42:04.159 Hi, you're on the air and eye on the ball. Hey guys, 613 00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:09.079 George here, Hey George, do any thing about computers? Yeah? Yeah, 614 00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:13.840 did you get over here right now? I can't make it to the 615 00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:20.000 Oracle and Roger or what do you got? What's up? No? I 616 00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.920 can't be the only one that thinks this, though. When you're watching an 617 00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:27.239 NFL game or a college game, right, they all have these big laminated 618 00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:31.440 plays all over their thing, and they use their they use that big play 619 00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:36.079 thing to cover their face. You don't. You can't zoom in on that 620 00:42:36.199 --> 00:42:37.400 and figure out what their plays are. I mean, geez, they have 621 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:42.719 an entire thing laminated on HDTV. They can't be the only one who thought 622 00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.119 it. No, no, no, google it Google. It happened last 623 00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:46.400 week. I can't remember who it was, but you could see them. 624 00:42:46.480 --> 00:42:50.199 The thing about it, they're not calling those plays because it's on the other 625 00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:52.519 side of the of the lamination, right, They're they're not looking at that, 626 00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.079 They're looking at the other side. But I agree with you, but 627 00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:59.239 you would have both sides, Like like, if you watch an entire game, 628 00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:02.599 you could probably both right, yeah, no question, but which player 629 00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.280 they're using or they're running from that thing. It's like when we talk to 630 00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:08.960 Stoops. I mean, George, if you're playing against me and you're much 631 00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:12.000 better than me, I'm gonna have to play my ass off to beat you. 632 00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:14.440 And if I'm much better than you, guess what you're gonna have to 633 00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.280 do? Beat your asked to beat me. Like the good old days. 634 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:21.599 Now we're trying to figure out well you know this and that. I don't 635 00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:23.360 know about that anymore. Yeah, but the whole sign is stealing bit and 636 00:43:23.440 --> 00:43:28.119 again it's been there. But of course you know, the freaking Houston Astros 637 00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:31.880 won a World Series because they were stealing signs. And I get stealing signs 638 00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:36.360 is okay, but stealing signs the way Michigan has been doing it is not 639 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:38.679 okay. Uh, you know that's what's not I agree. I'm just saying 640 00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.280 it's out there. You know, the guy on the second base, he 641 00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:45.000 can look at the catcher. You can, you know, you can. 642 00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:49.199 You can scratch your elbow or rub your ear and you tell your guy what's 643 00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.360 coming. I mean, yeah, I get it, but I mean it's 644 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:57.119 it's out there, like we have too much technology to see it all right 645 00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:59.840 now, you know, sure, well, I understand what he's doing is 646 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.239 over the top, but it's been out there forever. Well, yeah, 647 00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:05.920 and signs stealing is part of the game, you know. You you know, 648 00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:07.400 if you're a third if you're a first or a third base coach, 649 00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.760 you're you know, when you're looking to see if you can see how many 650 00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:14.960 fingers the catcher put down. They don't do that anymore in Major League Baseball 651 00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:17.480 because they have the little the little uh you know, they just push a 652 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:21.480 button on a shin guard and tell the pitcher what to throw. But you 653 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:23.360 know, as a you know, as a first base coach or third base 654 00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:27.760 coach, one of your jobs was trying to see how many fingers are down 655 00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:32.039 and and somehow get that information to your to your batter. Not very good 656 00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:35.960 at it, but you know, as a catcher, you were blocking so 657 00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:37.880 that people so that they couldn't see it. So no, that's been a 658 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:40.840 part of the game that what's not been a part of the game is the 659 00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:45.840 spying. You know what, what what Bill Belichick was doing with the Patriots, 660 00:44:45.880 --> 00:44:50.000 what Jim Harbaugh is and may have been doing, uh has allegedly been 661 00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:53.519 doing so that's what's different. Yeah, yeah, I mean I see both 662 00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:58.840 sides like you're trying to get an advantage any way you can. But I 663 00:44:58.880 --> 00:45:01.920 don't know that's necessary cheating when you're just getting an advantage from what's out there 664 00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:06.159 in public. Right, Well, here's another in public, I'm seeing it. 665 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:08.599 Well, use it. Here's another thing, George, we talked about 666 00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:12.599 this, I think last week. The guy was I can't remember which coach 667 00:45:12.639 --> 00:45:14.960 he had his plate card in front of him and he would lower it. 668 00:45:15.079 --> 00:45:16.960 Was the Dallas Cowboys coach. He would lower it and he could you can 669 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:22.760 see him mouthing instructions or whatever. But Okay, that's instantaneous. You don't 670 00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:27.880 have enough time, you could say, if you Washington, and they're not 671 00:45:27.960 --> 00:45:32.079 gonna have enough time to do anything about that. Sure, Yeah, it's 672 00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:36.880 to me, it's it's knowing the signs and be watching their signs and saying, 673 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:38.039 okay, this is what they're doing. Sure, and being able to 674 00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:43.119 somehow relay that to your defense. And just just two years ago, three 675 00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:46.480 years ago, we were giving the Kelly grief because he brought in those you 676 00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:51.039 know, the guards, and the Washington had those this year. Yeah. 677 00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.719 Yeah, but you could also read tendencies like on third down, I'm going 678 00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:59.519 like and you know, on third down, my card's facing this way versus 679 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:00.960 that way. And now you had a fifty to fifty chance of what those 680 00:46:01.039 --> 00:46:05.199 calls might be. So now you now you got to look, you know, 681 00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:07.440 if a guy has a giant one versus some of them have ones that 682 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.480 are almost like the size of your hand. Yeah, maybe you got a 683 00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:14.440 fifty to fifty chance of what might be called. Yeah. They used to 684 00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:17.760 joke that Lane Kiffin's looks like looked like an I Hop menu. Yeah, 685 00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.559 all right, guys, you guys have a good thanks for listening to George 686 00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:27.880 has been a loyal guy with us. Yeah, okay, now I mean 687 00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.480 yeah, I mean there's a million ways to do it, and and and 688 00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:35.199 you know there's a line into what's cheating and what's not. And again, 689 00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:38.920 as we said, what's cheating is what is going to a game, just 690 00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:45.079 that you're not in to specifically watch the other team's signals, so then you 691 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:47.880 can use that against them when you play them. That's cheating. So so 692 00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.920 then we'll give an update on Unrilly. For the second consecutive day, he's 693 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:59.960 miss practice. He's missing practice due to an undisclothed illness according to school spoke. 694 00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:02.199 But does he have COVID? Is he having a baby? What the 695 00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:06.480 hell is going on? Or he could just be away? Yeah, could 696 00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:13.880 be away. Interesting. Maybe he's tired of this crap one year which he's 697 00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:16.519 making ten million dollars a year. If he's having to live in LA for 698 00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:19.719 that, well, I no, doesn't he have a helicopter to get him 699 00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.440 places? I think that's part of the deal. I don't know, he's 700 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:30.719 like Batman. I can't beat Utah, but I'm Batman. I'm sorry. 701 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:36.239 I don't know. You know I did? You know it's funny because it's 702 00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.800 funny you say that because I remember when Larry Smith went to USC and somebody, 703 00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:43.800 it would have been Magruda who would have done the story on him, 704 00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:46.440 because it was, you know, his first year at USC when when they 705 00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:51.880 played they played Arizona and it was that game was over there, and and 706 00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.079 I remember him talking about how Larry, how different it is for Larry Smith, 707 00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:59.960 how he when he first got there, he tried driving himself to work 708 00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:02.480 every day and it was taking him two hours to get there from wherever he 709 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.039 lived, which wasn't very far to the point where he finally decided to hire 710 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:12.920 a driver so that he could work in the car and wouldn't lose that two 711 00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:15.920 hours of time. Total sense, and how he hated that total sense. 712 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.360 I told you about the story. I think we went ten miles my ex 713 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.760 wife and I and my wife at the time to see some friends ten miles 714 00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:24.559 away. It rained that day, took us three hours to get there. 715 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:28.360 I'm thinking, you know, you know, it's probably the start of the 716 00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:32.079 divorce that day. You were in the car for three hours. Yes, 717 00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:36.920 yes, but it was torture. It was torture because he already it was 718 00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:38.199 right there, you could see it. It was right there. Three hours 719 00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:43.320 later we finally get there. So I shouldn't be upset that it took me 720 00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:45.199 forty five minutes to get here today through the hail and stuff. Well, 721 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:50.280 so, yeah, exactly the same type of d It looked like it snowed 722 00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:52.760 on the east side. There was so much hail on the ground it looked 723 00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:57.320 like snow. I took a picture. I showed I showed having the picture. 724 00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.679 It looked like it snowed over that Grant and Great Cry and both and 725 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:05.599 every direction on that road was was a parking lot. It was gridlock. 726 00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:07.639 It don't really takes me half an hour. It took me forty five minutes. 727 00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:10.880 I mean, I'm not complaining that, you know, because I understand 728 00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.519 l a takes you. It just takes you two hours. Remember what time 729 00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.119 of year it is. Yeah, just the birds are here, Yeah they 730 00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:23.639 are the they were everywhere today. Yeah, they're getting here, they're getting 731 00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:30.159 here. But uh no, you know wow. But again, Steve, 732 00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:34.880 I keep saying, where's Lincoln Riley gonna go that that he's going to do 733 00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:38.079 a better job than he's been doing either in Oklahoma or you excuse me, 734 00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:42.519 you coach college. He's got one of the premier jobs you can't go for 735 00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.599 anywhere from here, right, And if you can't win at USC, then 736 00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:49.119 what the hell are you doing? It'll be the it'll be the uh who's 737 00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:54.880 his assistant? Who's the the uh thingsbury? Maybe he'll fall you know what, 738 00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:58.639 he won't be hard accorded to that job. He won't be hard at 739 00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:01.719 us. But that's what Nick doing. If he goes north, gets a 740 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:06.639 better job, falls forward again and get made a get made an interesting comment 741 00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:09.480 Urban Meyer. He was he was talked about for that job. Last time. 742 00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.039 Wouldn't that be a that's another perfect ego on an ego? Yeah, 743 00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:16.920 send him back to the Big ten? How would that be? Oh urban? 744 00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:21.880 How hard urban you're going to If you go to USC, you're going 745 00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:25.239 to the Big ten and you're not going to be Ohio State right outside of 746 00:50:25.800 --> 00:50:29.519 Carrol, who did a great job there. But you know, under whatever 747 00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:32.800 circumstances, no other coach can get that job going against been a while and 748 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:37.760 that's USC. Yeah, yeah, and that was by accident. Steve again, 749 00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:40.400 don't forget Pete. Carroll was like their fourth choice, you know when 750 00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:43.880 when they hired him, he was kind of a he was kind of an 751 00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:46.360 NFL retread, hadn't done you know, done well, you know in the 752 00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:50.000 NFL, and all of a sudden he came over. But you know, 753 00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:52.159 he was able to turn that around. And now he's gonna be a Hall 754 00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:55.320 of Fame NFL coach. You know, he's gonna be in the Hall of 755 00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:00.360 Fame as an NFL coach. So what he he'd he did something to himself 756 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:05.760 to make him a much better coach. He learned something about himself or whatever 757 00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:07.559 you want to say. But yeah, I mean who's been Yeah, who's 758 00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.599 been a really well Okay, here's one. I don't know if you saw 759 00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:16.480 this stat Lincoln Riley seventeen and five right now in his time at USC. 760 00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:22.280 Guess what Clay Helton was after twenty two seventeen and five. Yeah, it's 761 00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:27.679 funny. He did that same thing with someone and uh and some fish and 762 00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:30.960 Jimbo Fish Fisher. Actually someone had a one or two games with one or 763 00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:37.599 two games better than Jimbo Fisher. Sure. Yeah, so you know it's 764 00:51:37.239 --> 00:51:43.239 I mean, I don't know it. It's as you almost feel like how 765 00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:45.920 bad you got to beat it? Screw it up over there? I mean 766 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:50.239 really yeah, because you're in a prime recruiting location, you're getting all the 767 00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:54.280 players, you've got a Heisman Trophy winner and you and you you know, 768 00:51:54.400 --> 00:51:58.239 and you can't you can't keep I mean, Arizona should have beat him. 769 00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:00.800 Now now that you think about Arizona should have won that game, Like like 770 00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:04.199 you think about the Mississippi State game. Right at the time, you thought, 771 00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:07.360 okay, you know there's still Misissippi State. It's SEC, it's on 772 00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:09.880 the road, Okay, you know you played them tough, good enough, 773 00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:14.159 and you see USC and they're like, now you look at USC and you 774 00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:16.760 go, there's no should have somehow won that game. You know, made 775 00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:20.960 a couple of mistakes that cost them the game. You know, if if 776 00:52:21.079 --> 00:52:23.000 if, if, if they make that fifty yard field goal you know, 777 00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:25.719 at the end of you know, towards the end of regulation, and they 778 00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:30.519 hold the USC, they win the game. If they if, well there's 779 00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:31.519 a whole bunch of if we can go wanting on about that, Well, 780 00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:35.039 that'll have to come another day. They will have to come another day. 781 00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:37.800 All Right, we got to hit the road. We'll be back tomorrow our 782 00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:40.440 women's basketball game to talk about Tomorrow nights.
