I on the Ball. Hey,
welcome back to you in the ball

4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.440
here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
I'm Steve, you're Jay. No,

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.359
we have Kevin with breaking news.
This is I on the Ball Breaking news

6
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:28.559
on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All
right, So, as we alluded to

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:32.039
in the last segment, right,
u Cilia Bruins have found their new head

8
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:37.119
coach. The former running back for
the school is longtime assistant to Shaun Foster.

9
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.119
You know, Jay had heard this
yesterday, the rumors blah blah blah.

10
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.799
And then when they signed him,
I'm thinking, because we covered them

11
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:47.479
back in the bed ninety eight.
I didn't cover them then, but this

12
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.560
is how old we are. I'm
thinking, man, sounds like a desperate

13
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.960
move to me. It just sounded
weird. Well, no, you know,

14
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.719
and I've told you I. You
know, I've got a close friend

15
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.280
who is very has some U c
l A tie. So I immediately reached

16
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:10.719
out. Oh I I did a
funny Adam on on the after Chip Kelly

17
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.879
announced his h that he was leaving. I sent him a picture of Jed

18
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.000
Fish and the u c l A
visor and he just said, he just

19
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.879
said, nopepen. Yeah, he
said nope. That's all he said.

20
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.400
He said nope. But then I
said, this morning, I said,

21
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:29.040
you know, what do you think
of that? Sean Foster, and uh,

22
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:32.519
you know, the comment was,
you know, they almost kind of

23
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.319
had to because of the timing of
this. They're really pissed at the timing

24
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:40.280
of this at Chip Kelly. Look, you know, I mean a lot

25
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.239
of people wanted him out, Chip
wanted out. It needed to happen,

26
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.040
but to do it, you know, the second week of February, Uh

27
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.400
was was was a bad, you
know, bad look for everybody. But

28
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.239
you know, Chip's gonna do what
Chip's gonna do. But uh, you

29
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:53.959
know, they feel like, you
know, he's a u c l A

30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.799
guy, played there, He's been
a good coach, a good assistant coach.

31
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.000
They kind of had to get somebody
like that. Sure, it'll it'll

32
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.480
keep the coaching staff together because Chip's
not taking a coaching staff with him.

33
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:07.360
He's going, you know, he's
going to UCLA to being part of a

34
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:13.439
coaching staff. So they'll be able
to keep the the core staff together.

35
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.039
Uh, the fans like him,
and and it sounds like I've heard seen

36
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:21.800
a couple of things that the players
were really behind him. So it makes

37
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.000
sense. And guess what, they
get him cheap, right, They're not

38
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.159
gonna have to pay him eight seven
eight nine million dollars. They're not paying

39
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.439
a buy out for anybody. So
it just makes a lot of sense that

40
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.800
he's the guy, and you know
what, do let him have a shot

41
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.240
at it. Yeah, I guess
it was just strange. I don't think

42
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.639
it was you use the word desperate. I don't think it was desperate.

43
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:45.360
I think it was. Yes,
you said it sounds desperation. It was.

44
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:50.360
I think it was necessary. Check
the review, the tape. No,

45
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.840
no, no, okay, I'll
use the word because this is this

46
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.520
is u c l A. Right, Yeah, a program or a school.

47
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.039
You're thinking, wow, wow,
I don't think wowed them anymore.

48
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.639
But that's what that's what you see. That's the reputation among a lot of

49
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:08.599
fans. You go out and talk
to assistant coaches, people in you know,

50
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.840
in college football, right, and
UCLA has not thought of that way.

51
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:17.199
UCLA is like there's this program that's
got this history and they suck.

52
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.439
No, No, that I get
you because I talk about that all the

53
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.400
time. They're living enough a reputation
for other things. They've got the they've

54
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:28.599
got the worst recruiting class in the
Big ten and that's sixteen teams, eighteen

55
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.360
teams. Some teams they have now
sixteen or eighteen sixteen. Yeah, but

56
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.639
you know it's they've got. You
know, they've been terrible, and that

57
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.719
been terrible. They've been really mediocre
for a program that is supposed to be

58
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.599
not mediocre, and for a long
time, for a long time. So

59
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.240
no, I think you know,
look, I said, you don't give

60
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.639
them a shot at it. And
again, who are they going to go

61
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.879
get at this time? Exactly,
there's a name, there's anybody who's leaving

62
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.479
their program that I get, And
that makes sense. Yeah, yeah,

63
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.479
yeah, all right. I hate
when you make sense or I'm shocked because

64
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:08.960
you know, blind squirrel, dude, blind squirrel really happens. I'm all

65
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.879
right. So we have some more
news out of the Bay Area. The

66
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.280
San Francisco forty nine ers. Some
players came out after last night's game and

67
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:17.639
said they did not know about the
new overtime rules right, and the team

68
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:23.639
had not talked about them in like
what the situational decisions would be. And

69
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.879
it was an interesting contrast because Kyle
Shanahan, who is usually a control guy,

70
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.279
did not talk to him about that. Andy Reid had outlined it extensively

71
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.240
to what they were going to do
entire season. I don't know if any

72
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:39.040
thoughts on that. Well. First
of all, I you know, I

73
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.600
was surprised because I didn't know the
rule either. I knew the change.

74
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.720
I knew that the change in rule
was okay, everybody's getting the ball twice.

75
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.120
I didn't realize though, that it
was different from the regular season rule,

76
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.360
where for those of you who don't
know, it's a little more like

77
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:55.160
the college football rule, but not
totally so. The rule is, both

78
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.800
teams get a possession no matter what
happens on the first possession or in the

79
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.240
regular season, if the team that
gets the ball first scores a touchdown,

80
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:08.600
the game's over. In the playoffs, if the team that gets the ball

81
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.720
first scores a touchdown, the other
team still gets the ball, but they

82
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.160
have to go score a touchdown to
keep it going. Then after that it's

83
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.959
sudden death. That's the rule.
So people have been saying, well,

84
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:25.800
if if that's the case, then
you should not take the ball and see

85
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.920
what you have to do like they
do in college, right, everybody in

86
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.680
college, everybody plays defense because they
want to know. Okay, if they

87
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.720
kick a field goal, I know, if I would score a touchdown,

88
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:41.040
we win. They But Kyle Shanahan
is saying that he took the ball because

89
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:46.199
if they were both tied at the
end of the first possession, he wanted

90
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.560
the ball first because at that point
is sudden death. Whoever scores wins.

91
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:56.600
I get that to me. Any
whatever happened, they were going to be

92
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.079
the second the losing team was going
to be I can guess. So if

93
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.480
Kyle Shanahan had said, no,
I'm taking the ball second, they're gonna

94
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.160
say, you know. And then
let's say they're tied and then Kansas City

95
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.399
goes down and scores and wins the
game, They're gonna say, why did

96
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.120
you give why'd you give that up? There's no right or wrong unless you

97
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.720
get screwed, you don't have the
right answer. You know, no,

98
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:19.319
you should have known, well,
you should have. It happened the way

99
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.000
it happened. It happened the way
it happened, it was a great game.

100
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:29.040
I was unaware of the rule because
because I heard I heard I'm Tony

101
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.560
Romo and and talking about him saying, why would you not why would you

102
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.439
not take the ball first if you
can score a touchdown and win the game.

103
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.720
It was after the game that I
that I realized, when I heard

104
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.480
the counter that I realized that,
well they remember they changed it from that

105
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.240
great game a couple of years ago, or even lest year from the right.

106
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.560
Yeah. So anyway, no matter, no matter what the losing team

107
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.079
did, they were going to get
second. Guess, no question happens all

108
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.560
the time, every time, every
time. I you know, look,

109
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.800
well, what do we say before
before the weekends, we said, don't

110
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:11.040
bet against no exactly exactly. And
I've had I've had San Francisco fans say

111
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.959
to me, the Chiefs were going
to win this game. Wait, but

112
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.720
it got to where it got the
Chiefs were going to win the game.

113
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:24.879
I even got points exactly exactly.
Arizona Peel Larson has won. He packed

114
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.560
twelve Player of the week for this
week. Yeah, which was not a

115
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.040
surprise, you know, twenty four
and then eighteen. He did not look

116
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:36.800
like Pele for forever. He was
fantastic. He shot the ball well consistently,

117
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.639
he attacked the basket and we talked
about it with Makawa. H I

118
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.519
wonder if that stat still holds true, because it's a heck of a stat

119
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.839
that we were told about six seven
weeks ago and uh makes sense now.

120
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:56.399
But but I wonder if that stats
still holds I'm gonna look it up while

121
00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:01.519
we're going along here go for twenty
Yeah, Okay, good because because if

122
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.079
he's the key to this, but
Steve, game in and game out,

123
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:11.680
we see it. We it's we
we see that that when they lose the

124
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.399
game, Pala didn't play well well
you know what too well, we didn't

125
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.800
talk much about killing I mean because
he he's key to this and he's found

126
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.120
a couple of the last two games
he's played like he hadn't played in a

127
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.480
while. Yeah, and he's played
with confidence. And it's just they have

128
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.600
a lot of parts to this.
Okay, I just found it. Here's

129
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.840
an interesting thing, Okay, Pela
Larson is not the highest rated player for

130
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.360
Arizona. Guess who is. You're
not gonna get I'm not even gonna I'm

131
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.799
not even gonna tell you a guess
because you're not gonna get who Jayden Bradley.

132
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.320
Oh, because of his efficiency?
Yeah yeah, yeah is that?

133
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.519
What is that that is up to
start? That's that rating? Yeah,

134
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.440
Pa Pala is the next one,
next Arizona player, but Jayden Bradley is

135
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.759
the listed as the number fourteen and
in the player ratings that he does,

136
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.600
his list is number fourteen and then
Palace twenty six. Well, because of

137
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.399
his because of his sufficiency, he
goes in there and he's official. I

138
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.759
still do you like the way he
plays? I do? Why because I

139
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.679
think because I think he's aggressive very
much. So to deny that he's aggressive,

140
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:24.480
he's not. He's not afraid too. I like that mostly because all

141
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:30.200
of them do dumb things, right, but mostly and I love his mid

142
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.159
rage jumper. I love his fourteen
oh pull up jumper. He always makes

143
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.799
it okay, and it's always in
it and he's not afraid to take that

144
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.840
at a key time. Okay.
So you have two guys like that we

145
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.960
love and this guy, now,
my whole thing is he doesn't know how

146
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.080
to pass. Once he has Once
he has the ball, he's going downhill

147
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.399
and he's going to the basket.
Am I wrong not to say that's a

148
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.399
bad thing? Yea? But yeah, do you agree? No, I

149
00:09:52.440 --> 00:10:00.120
totally agree with you, because sometimes
he's got guys open, but he I'd

150
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.039
rather drive to the Me too,
me too. I like him. I

151
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:09.120
don't I see why because for all
the reasons you say, but damn,

152
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.480
that ball is attached to that hand
of his I ain't getting to give it

153
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.919
up. And I don't know if
that's a good thing for a bad thing.

154
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.039
But so he's done well. I
like it. I like it.

155
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:26.159
So the PEMA men's basketball team has
moved up three spots in the Division two

156
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.080
rankings to number fifteen, and the
women's FEMA basketball team has moved up to

157
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.080
number fourteen, So they're doing pretty
well over there with I think between them

158
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.440
they've only lost like six or seven
games, right, So I got some

159
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.679
great record, and the guy's team
is scoring in the hundreds and all that

160
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.840
we've had Peabody on before that.
The time we had Peabody, he did

161
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.440
lots of the next game. So
I'm not sure he wants to come on.

162
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.000
He wants to come on again.
It's that same team that gives him

163
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.399
trouble in Phoenix. You know that
one. Yeah, but they're doing really

164
00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:01.639
well. And then the last thing
I have is Arazulna has moved back into

165
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:05.600
being a one seed in the bracketology
for at least on CBS. You know

166
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.840
their number four are the fourth,
the fourth. It's perdue yukon Houston.

167
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.080
Well, pack your bags. They
could be going to Salt Lake or Spokane

168
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.120
bringing a heavy coat. Hopefully they
see them in Phoenix for the final four.

169
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.240
Well, the last time it was
there, they had a chance and

170
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:30.639
then Trier came around. I didn't
pass the ball to marketing. But that's

171
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.879
all I happened. You aways bring
that up. Is it true? It's

172
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.320
yes, But still it's like I
feel bad. Well you wait, wait,

173
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.519
I bring that up, and you
bring up the next game. You

174
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.440
bring up the next game because they
were going to face Gonzaga, and what

175
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.320
did you say? They weren't going
to be They weren't going to be a

176
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.759
bunch of men on that, But
they were not going to be Gonzaga because

177
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.799
they had a bunch of men on
that. Yeah. Yeah, they have

178
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.720
had a bunch of old guys because
of the way they were playing. Yeah,

179
00:11:54.799 --> 00:12:00.799
no, I agree with that,
but you know that that's boy,

180
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.679
that's been a you know, we
just keep going back to that all the

181
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.600
time. That was. It's that's
one of those stinging games. It just

182
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.799
keeps coming up, right. Well, and like I said, you,

183
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.320
what were you doing? Is that
you ever think when you were forty one,

184
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.080
forty two whatever it was. It's
it's been a long time since Minnesota.

185
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.679
Yeah, well that again two thousand
and one. Uh so that would

186
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.480
have been you know, Mark April
of two thousand and one. And my

187
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:28.960
daughter who's turned twenty three today,
was born in February of that year.

188
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.080
Okay, well, yeah, she
was a little old. He's an old

189
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:37.200
lady now. And I'm like I
have been tell her that, tell her

190
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.639
that you might. She doesn't listen
to us anymore because we're always talking about

191
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.720
her. Okay, well I'm always
talking Rachel. Right, yeah, I'm

192
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:50.000
going to text her right now what
your dad said about you. My son

193
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.279
got upset with me that I told
the story that he wouldn't he wouldn't come

194
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:58.080
and watch again. He didn't.
He decided he was going to come,

195
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.279
and then he said, no,
I'm not they feel I saw him at

196
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.759
lunch today. I saw him a
lunch. He was totally him, and

197
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:09.600
I still haven't heard from my sister, totally silent on on on our on

198
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.240
our group chats. But I asked
him, I said, I said,

199
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.759
how you doing. He just kind
of shrugged his shoulders and shook his head,

200
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.000
and that was that. Well.
Let me also bring up a point.

201
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.279
I think you were around this time
September October. I think that Kansas

202
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.240
City was playing not so well.
Players were dropping balls, they weren't on

203
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.600
the same page. Yeah, and
then people were saying, what's up with

204
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.720
Kansas City? YadA YadA, They're
not going to repeat. They don't look

205
00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:37.519
so good, they're missing hill YadA. YEAHA what do it mean? Absolutely

206
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:45.600
nothing, absolutely right right. What
happens in that stretch of time means nothing

207
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.639
until actually that till the lights coming
and that the day is how you play

208
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.840
that day. And they played.
They played pretty well in the whole playoffs.

209
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.440
They'd beat Baltimore. Baltimore had no
chance, you know, well they

210
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.879
well, you know again, listening
listening to Eric Torres on podcast this morning,

211
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:09.440
you know he mentioned that they got
their butts kicked. Butts kicked Green

212
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:16.000
Bay uh. On Christmas Day,
the Chiefs did to the to the Ravens

213
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.919
they got crushed and then they think. I think Green Bay beat them pretty

214
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.039
badly to it if I can remember
qurectly, how are you thinking this team?

215
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.440
What? Yeah? What? And
then they got hot? Yeah?

216
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.120
Then they got hot. All right, let's take a break. We're gonna

217

go to the game, Steve said,

220
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.919
but was there, and we want
to get a picture of what was that

221
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.639
like? Was it? Was it
crazier than the waste management open we're talking

222
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.279
about, or just how nuts was
it up there? So we'll talk to

Eric at Dorato Rock. He found out

I think it was a record thing, seventy two thousand people. But there

300
00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:33.640
was also a lot of parties,
a lot of like every event was full.

301
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.000
So you went there to have some
fun. Did you intend to go

302
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.359
to the game and found out that
the tickets were too pricey? What were

303
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.640
your hopes? We intended to go
to the game. So we were season

304
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:51.480
tickets holders to the Las Vegas Raiders
and we had take it last year who

305
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:56.400
wins the game? It caused me
about six thousand dollars. This year we

306
00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.400
had a budget set and we were
hoping it was going to be double price,

307
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.160
so twelve K we're gonna buy the
tickets to them and find out it's

308
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:08.039
another additional two thousand dollars fee per
ticket. So now you're looking at sixteen

309
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:12.039
k for it. And that's just
gonna do it. I cannot pay two

310
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:18.759
thousand dollars service fee for a ticket. Just too much. You just got

311
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.720
invited to a cool party here call
the Flankers, and it was it was,

312
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:30.160
it was great. You have to
sell more tight Cobs or Patrick Mahone's

313
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:33.519
cards now that they went up.
But but you could also use this as

314
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.279
a business trip, did you?
And I saw you you met some people,

315
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.160
did assigned some cards. Yeah,
yes, yeah, we definitely use

316
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:42.720
it as a business trip. Uh. We got to meet Trevor Lawrence that

317
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:47.160
was the big one, and he
was really nice. He actually chatted with

318
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.519
us for you know, five or
ten minutes kind of. He was super

319
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.759
nice. Him and his wife.
It's just incredible. But some of the

320
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.319
people that kind of snubbed us.
It was like Harry Sanders, he kind

321
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.920
of snubbed us. We did see
him and said hello, if you didn't

322
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:06.000
want to chat. Coach Antonio Pierce
of the Raiders got to meet and greet

323
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:07.440
with him, so that was cool. Yeah, all right. So,

324
00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.279
uh, just you're talking about the
vibe, I mean, just how busy

325
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:17.720
were things like restaurants, uh,
trying to get a drink somewhere, getting

326
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:22.039
or just getting around. I mean, was that it was more nuts us

327
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.559
couldn't leave the hotel. So we're
at the Mandalay Bay NFL Experiences here at

328
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.960
the convention Center, so we're probably
like we're almost held constant here because you

329
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:33.839
cannot get an uber or a cap. The weights are an hour and a

330
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.759
half, and then just to get
back is nearly impossible. All the streets

331
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.640
are closed because this is the closest
hotel to the stadium, right, so

332
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.880
all the streets are closed off.
You really can't get in and out of

333
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.759
this place. We got to walk
a few places, but it's everything.

334
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.000
And then Vegas knows that they jacked
up everything. You know, the restaurant

335
00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:02.079
prices, the minimums at the tables
that you know it but knows you go

336
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:07.200
ahead, Oh it just I mean
they they really took advantage of it,

337
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.000
you know, and people paid it. They were You're that it's Las Vegas

338
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.079
and it's a super Bowl and people
are blowing money. So you're walking around

339
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.799
you and your your lovely girlfriend.
Did you see people just randomly that you

340
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.599
you know, don't know, but
you know, like like the not like

341
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.759
the Taylor Swifts, but you know
what I'm saying, just the random famous

342
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:30.960
everywhere everywhere you see kind of a
retired player. You know that I recognize

343
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.839
him because I'm in the in the
business, but you know, like Aaron

344
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:36.039
like he just looked so big.
I was like, oh that's such and

345
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.240
such a and so they were literally
everywhere. Yeah, there was that.

346
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:45.079
There was a soft photo posted of
Bijon Robinson hanging out with with Lebron somewhere

347
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.359
over there and stuff like that.
I mean it's crazy. Yeah, yeah,

348
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.759
I know. Art So the owner
of Fanatics owns tops now and my

about him today. Yeah, so he's

353
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.359
he started ling off like you right
cards, yeah, and became this guy.

354
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:23.799
Mm hmm. Can you It's really
our industry is really growing and to

355
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.519
have someone like that kind of the
leader of the industry and the growth is

356
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:32.799
phenomenal. And it's getting big.
We're doing a show there in Tucsons and

357
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:34.680
it's gonna be the biggest sports show. You know. It's it started as

358
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:40.079
a collectible show. Now it just
turned into a sports show and it's gonna

359
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.279
be in a couple of weeks.
I think you guys are going to do

360
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:47.400
a live broadcast there and and it's
it's definitely growing our you know, our

361
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.359
industry is definitely growing. Well,
let me ask you this with with what

362
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.079
happened last night with the Super Bowl, So how does that what does that

363
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:57.440
do to things like you know,
Patrick Mahomes card, Rock party card,

364
00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:04.240
Travis Kelsey card or not even just
a card, their memorabilia. You know,

365
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:10.839
this all all that has an impact. I'm assuming all those collectibles all

366
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:14.000
that has an impact even today.
You know. So of my guys said,

367
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.759
hey, do you want me to
reprice these cards? And it was

368
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:21.000
Patrick Mahons. PSA nine is at
one thousand dollars. I was like,

369
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.400
yeah, it's twelve hundred dollars.
Everything went up at least twenty percent,

370
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:30.160
but including even the runners up,
like like prock Pirty. Everybody went up

371
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.599
because he's so young. He was
twenty three years old in the Super Bowl,

372
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.920
so that people are speculating he could
do it again. I looked at

373
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.319
the odds favorite. Guess who's favorite. Yeah, the Niners are favorite.

374
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.160
Forty nine ers. Yeah, I
many of that. They're still taking the

375
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:51.640
Niners over me, but they are. I'll what would you remember? I

376
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.160
gotta say one thing too. We're
in Vegas and I placed a lot of

377
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:59.759
bets, a lot of player pop
bets. First half, think sixteen bets.

378
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:04.240
I hit thirteen of them. Yeah, nice, okay, okay,

379
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:07.880
Yeah, the Niners are plus five
fifty and then the Chiefs are six fifty.

380
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.599
Yeah. I don't get it.
The Chiefs are keeping everybody that team,

381
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.960
that line pushed them around. How
can they be you know who started

382
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:22.200
for uh, the Ravens at nine
hundred, bills at one thousand, and

383
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:27.440
then the Lions at twelve hundred.
Wow, okay, roll that money over

384
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:34.079
baby, your team six. Okay, So let's talk about the show that's

385
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:38.519

it's more than just a card show.

386
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:42.279

an entire collectible show. So we're gonna

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.640

athletes signing. Some of the UFA players

388
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.839
can actually do appearances now with the
Nail deals. The basketball team's gonna be

389
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:56.640
there. We're gonna have a couple
of MLB prospects. One big one we

390
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.240
just named was Jacob Wilson. He
was drafted in number six overall by the

391
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.839
opening as. He's our top prospect. He went to GCU. So he's

392
00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.759
an Arizona Well, he's actually a
California kid, but he played here at

393
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:12.079
Arizona. He's just already's driving a
lot of momentum. He's gonna be there

394
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:17.400
Friday. There's gonna be you yo
voice actors. He's getting a lot of

395
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:22.920
momentum. Just all the sorts of
different type of collectibles. Sore Pokemon's big.

396
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:26.799
Yeah. So are you the man
in charge of the event or are

397
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:33.039
you collaborating? It's our show.
It's called the Showtime Sports Spectacular and I

398
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.599
did partner up with them and the
Casino Del Soul and we're just putting on

399
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.799
and it's so far as getting a
lot of traction, a lot of momentum,

400
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.039
and it's gonna be a big show, all right, And we're we're

401
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.240
looking at doing doing a thing out
there. So so George, you know,

402
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:52.200
next up it's you know, you
got Final four coming up. Is

403
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.960
there any what college collectibles are out
there for for folks, especially now that

404
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.400
you do have players signing and you
know they can come to come to events

405
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.119
and sign their jerseys and all that
kind of stuff. How is that?

406
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:07.839
How's that market going? That?
It's a huge market. You're right.

407
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.759
Even for me to get these players
before, I used to deal with them

408
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.440
direct, I call it coach.
Coach, give me the player's number and

409
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.759
we could do a deal. Now
I have to go through agents, player

410
00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:21.039
agents, and we got to strike
deals and pay a lot of money.

411
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:25.559
So it's different. But they also
have cards, you know, like Pops

412
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:30.759
has deals with Bowman Chrome University cards. Caleb Wilson are Taylor Sorry? Caleb

413
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:37.559
Love has a sports card. Who
else? Uh, A couple of our

414
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.839
Arizona players do. I'm not sure
exactly obviously the checklist, but they're out

415
00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:48.359
there and people are collecting them,
and they they'rek commanding some money. Now,

416
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.279
so I was just gonna say,
so, if you have a player,

417
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:55.000
let's say X for U of A. Now, they don't have to

418
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.559
go anywhere do anything unless you put
some money in the pocket, right yeah,

419
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.480
yeah, yeah. Unfortunately that's the
way it is. But you know,

420
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.759
I always said like they should,
they deserve to get a little money,

421
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.240
and and that you know, they're
making so much money for these universities,

422
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.319
and now it's it's almost like you're
dealing with a pro. Absolutely.

423
00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.759
Wow. So when are you going
to start the sports talk radio host cards?

424
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.559
And uh, you know, because
we'll sign. Steam's gonna get his

425
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:25.680
own car. Yeah, well we'll
sign. I'm sure we'll sign right once.

426
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.000
I well, you guys are legends
and you should get some. So

427
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.160
once we signed those cards, it
diminishes the value. As we signed.

428
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.599
We want the unsigned one, yes, yes, with no stats. I'll

429
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.519
beef up my stats. I'll be
like, you know, six two exactly

430
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:47.279
exactly. Well, George stay safe

00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:47.720
I know, I think I think
I would that, but that would be

448
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.079
like holy crap. Really. Okay, So my biggest thing that I want

449
00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:53.440
to get to, but that's two
prices even now is before I want to

450
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:59.000
go to the Derby. I want
to go to Derby and maybe the Breakness

451
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:02.640
the British Up and those those tickets
are in the thousands too. I want

452
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.359
to go to the Masters, see
stuff like that. I wouldn't say for

453
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.000
the longest time, and I could
have gone. I could go, but

454
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:11.000
I've lost interest in it. Was
the Indianapolis, Oh yeah, and plenty

455
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:12.960
of guys you know, yeah,
you know, yeah, we know people

456
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:18.079
all the time. Yeah, I
mean yeah, but I used to love

457
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:21.079
the Indianapolis. So we have time
here. You went to the you went

458
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:23.920
to the TVC over the week.
Kid, wasn't as crazy as they said.

459
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:27.720
And I don't think you paid for
the ticket, right, so I'm

460
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.680
sure it was worth it, But
wasn't How crazy was it? It was

461
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.319
pretty crazy? It was really.
I was talking to j about it.

462
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.039
Apologies for my voice. I lost
it at the at the tournament, Get

463
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:45.039
off of me. Yeah, it
was. It was wild. A lot

464
00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:48.160
of people got way too drunk there. You could tell. It was wet,

465
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:51.640
it was muddy everywhere, it was
gross. People were slipping, falling.

466
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:55.000
The crowds are more interested in the
slipping and falling than the putting and

467
00:31:55.319 --> 00:31:59.839
driving and all that stuff. But
it was a good time. Yeah,

468
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.440
But I was telling you Jay,
the party that is, the waste management

469
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.240
tournament has gotten out of control and
now they're gonna have to somehow figure out

470
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:13.119
way to tone it back. There
was beer being stolen from concession stands.

471
00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:15.720
They stopped selling beer for a while
because of that. What time did you

472
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.400
get there Friday? We got there
earlier because we knew Saturday was gonna be

473
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.279
crazy, so he kind of wanted
to walk and watch some golf because he

474
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:27.319
knew maybe Saturday we wouldn't get a
chance to Saturday. What times you get

475
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.720
there? Like? Probably ten?
How long did it take you to get

476
00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:32.279
out of there? Not long because
we stayed for like most of it on

477
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:38.839
Saturday. It didn't take us maybe, oh really yeah, But a couple

478
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.559
of my people I went with,
they left about halfway through the day,

479
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.720
maybe four o'clock, three o'clock.
It took them an hour to get back

480
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.720
to their car. So there was
a there was a video and I can

481
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.359
picture him. I'm trying to look
up his name right now. I can

482
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:57.720
picture him. There's a video of
one of the golfers confronting a fan.

483
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:05.640
Was it Sefer Zach his name,
No, it wasn't Scheffler. It was

484
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:13.039
what was going on, apparently the
Zach Johnson there was somebody just yelling something

485
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.359
and he just went up and says, just shut the hell up and watch

486
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:20.279
the golf tournament. Right, that's
almost impossible, right, just somebody who

487
00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.000
because you know, the video didn't
show what the guy was saying, but

488
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.319
he was just basically saying, this
is crap. Just you're here to want

489
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:31.160
just watch the golf tournament, right, you know. And so the thing

490
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:35.599
what what you know, going to
your point, what's happened with this golf

491
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:42.640
tournament is that it's become part of
the experience to be a drunk idiot,

492
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.279
right that that it's it's it's part
of it that you know, because if

493
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:50.480
what's happened around the sixteenth hole,
that's like, Okay, this particular golf

494
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.119
tournament, this is what, this
is what it's supposed to be, and

495
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:59.680
it is so it is so UNPGA
that I gotta believe that they're gonna have

496
00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:02.079
to How do you fix that?
I don't know. Genis out of the

497
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:05.480
bottle. It is out of the
bottle. Well, one of the ways

498
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.559
is you can limit attendance. They
said there were half a million people on

499
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:15.440
the golf course on yesterday Saturday.
Half a million people on the golf course.

500
00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.239
I mean you could see it if
you looked around. It was just

501
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.360
people forever, people forever. But
I was gonna say, I think you

502
00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:27.440
limit the amount of party aspects.
I mean the DJs, there's live contents

503
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.280
after, there's like part of the
there are people going to the golf course

504
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.360
that never actually see anyone in the
golf right. They're there for the party

505
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.519
because that's what the fun part of
it is. That's what I'm saying.

506
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:39.639
If you've remove some of those elements, those people probably would find that elsewhere

507
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:43.480
and not go to the event.
Yeah, it's funny, it's weird.

508
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:45.039
I don't go to those things,
but I don't even know if I would

509
00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:50.079
want to that, but I would
not. There were times that I thought

510
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.559
I'd want to go. I've never
gone because it I was on Super Bowl

511
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:54.400
Sunday, but I thought that'd be
fun event, you know, with all

512
00:34:55.159 --> 00:34:59.519
with all the you know, hoopla. But what I saw over the weekend.

513
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:02.039
I'm like, I would stay so
far away from what did Yogi Berra

514
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:07.039
say? Nobody goes there anymore because
it's two packed or something like that.

515
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.840
Those aren't the exact words with something
along the life. Yeah, anyway,

516
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:13.280
all right, let's take our last
break. We'll take your cast five to

517
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:15.639
zero, four, one, six, seventy four to forty. We've talked

518
00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:17.000
about a lot of stuff. We'd
love to hear. Thoughts on Super Bowl,

519
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:21.360
what's a disappointing season? Fares on
a basketball how far do they have

520
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:24.239
to get for you to not be
disappointed? And were you one of those

521
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:28.840
people peeing on yourself at the waste
management open? Breaking news too? Oh

522
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:31.280
you real quick? Let's save it
for after. Yeah, okay, we've

523
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:35.159
got some breaking news coming up after
the break. Stick around. If you're

525

the Ludolsen era. In my new

526
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:44.320

was a labor of love through the eyes

527
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.039
of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight to the

528
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:51.480
coach and the man who led them, competed against them, and inspired them

529

twenty five chapters for his twenty five
years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from

530

568
00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:52.480
welcome back to O the ball here
Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve,

569
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.159
He's Jay got Kevin with us today? So am I bricking you right?

570
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.320
Give it up? Man? I
guess so with all this stuff with

571
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:05.599
UCLA and all that transparency, Jet
admitted that he interviewed it with texas A

572
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.639
and m in December. That's what
Okay, I went, I just saw

573
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:14.079
that read that Athletic article on him
that, yeah, that he and that

574
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:16.639
was the only other school that he
talked to, he said, he said,

575
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:21.840
he said, I think you know, and I know that that's not

576
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:24.599
true. I don't think it's true
because there was another school that we heard

577
00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:29.079
that was involved. I think it
came out publicly too that he denied.

578
00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:34.239
Yes, that wasn't UCLA, right, So now it's a you know,

579
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:37.639
how you gonna admit this. I'm
surprised that this came out because he had

580
00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:39.199
to admit that he did it.
Yeah, unlessay, it really knew that

581
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:43.079
he did it. The un they
were yeah, calling him on it,

582
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:46.159
Yeah for sure. But in the
article he also talks about the three minute

583
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:50.519
meeting that people were a little up
in arms about, and he said that

584
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:55.360
that was not by his choice.
That because of the new rules related to

585
00:39:55.880 --> 00:40:00.599
transfer portal and stuff like that,
that all you can do is go in

586
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:04.800
there and say I'm leaving. You
can't say where, you can't say why.

587
00:40:05.679 --> 00:40:07.760
All you can say is thank you
and leave. Because if you say

588
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:12.599
anything like you said, I'm leaving
to go to Washington, it's considered tampering.

589
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:16.280
That would have been helpful at the
time, don't you think from his

590
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.440
end, Yeah, but to kind
of explain the reason why. Yeah,

591
00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:22.920
And then and then he made then
he also addressed the whole issue of signing

592
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:30.079
that contract at home. Washerman write
washerman wrote that story. I think it's

593
00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:34.800
Washerman, Yeah, Ery washing ye. Erry Washington wrote that wrote the story.

594
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:37.239
It was sort of Q and A. Well, you know, it

595
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.920
wasn't a story. He wrote the
story, but it came from he got

596
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:46.519
him on his podcast on the until
Oh Saturday podcast. Okay, so if

597
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:51.360
you want to go listen to it's
a thirty minute interview. So what else?

598
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:55.199
What else was? Well that what
one of the reasons he left was

599
00:40:55.239 --> 00:41:00.320
because he was losing some coaches that
he had to consider leaving because Johnny Anson

600
00:41:00.360 --> 00:41:02.599
had left. He meant, he
says, there was another coach was talking

601
00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:07.599
about leaving. Well know that was
Duayne Aquina who was talking about leaving,

602
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:09.599
and he and he just kind of
felt like, Okay, there's all this,

603
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:14.639
you know, this opportunity coming to
Washington, but I've also got some

604
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:20.000
things that I wasn't expecting. And
so he took the job. And he

605
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:23.360
said also because of the pool for
the assistant coaches that Washington. But he

606
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:29.119
said, I'm I was also trying
to create an opportunity for my assistants with

607
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:31.760
more money. For that. You
gotta read the whole thing. I'm I

608
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:36.159
think, I mean, you might
have to go. Go. I followed

609
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.840
that podcast. It's Harry Washerman's podcast. Go listen to that and you'll hear

610
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:46.119
the cause this is this is this
is just basically a transcript of the podcast.

611
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:49.480
Let's take this call. Hi are
on the air and I on the

612
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:53.440
ball. Hey, how's it going
today? What's up? Well? Umlike

613
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:59.760
everybody else in the West who watches
Arizona basketball, you can't trust him.

614
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:04.039
It was a great weekend. No
great weekend. No no, don't don't

615
00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.119
validate Steve's opinion on this. No, no, no, come on,

616
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.199
he's not you know, one of
the few times I do agree with him.

617
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:16.800
You know, it's like, you
know, Steve can be right twice

618
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:22.480
a day. Okay the clock,
yeah, okay, yeah, but you

619
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:27.079
know, I mean they played great
boat. I mean I was shocked on

620
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:30.239
the Colorado game only for the fact
that having to play, you know,

621
00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:34.280
the three overtimes. I thought we're
in trouble on Saturday, but they looked

622
00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.000
really good on Saturday night. Now
the problem is that they continue that against

623
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:40.760
a su at home. I think
they will, but then we have then

624
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:45.880
we have the road trip. Yeah
no, put that and I'm having to

625
00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:49.800
play uh U c l A again, you know, and that's going to

626
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.960
be tough. And they're playing there
and they're playing well, They're playing very

627
00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:57.320
well. They may be right now
the best team in the conference. Well

628
00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:00.360
at least the second best team.
I'm with you on that one, Brian,

629
00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:07.079
Brian, where did you sleep last
day in the holiday inns? I

630
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:09.280
obviously learned some stuff, you know, over the last week because I haven't

631
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:13.559
called for a while. But you
know, you know, we're just watching

632
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.440
them play, and you know,
I'm pel Larson had a great weekend and

633
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:19.480
like you say, you know,
the team goes basically as he goes.

634
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:23.239
But I thought the key the thing
was was, uh it was his name

635
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:30.519
to guard who's been having all yeah
Buzzwell, he played well, He played

636
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:32.800
really well, and it was just
so nice to see, you know,

637
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.159
I mean, is he out of
this punk now? Because he had two

638
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:39.880
really good games on the road.
You know, we won't know so what

639
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:44.800
would disappoint you if they didn't get
to what I want to get out of

640
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:50.960
the first round. Well, you
don't ask for much, you know,

641
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:53.360
Hey, I'm sorry, but you
know, after what's happened the last you

642
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:57.679
know, the last four or five
years, I think we should get to

643
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.360
the Elite eight at least, and
that would be true epic. But you

644
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:04.239
know, let's just play one round
at a time and everybody's sitting there going,

645
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:07.840
I'll get to the final four.
And it's not worrying because we don't

646
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:09.360
know what kind of kind of team
we're going to have to play. And

647
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:14.880
that's that's the real key to the
pretty much matchup. Pretty much so are

648
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:19.960
the team I wouldn't want to play
if Houston, uh something like that,

649
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.199
Well, you know, yeah,
someone like that who's big, physical and

650
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:27.880
can shoot from outside they were in
trouble. Well again, you get to

651
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.960
that point, whoever you are,
you have to impose your will on them

652
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:35.960
and not let them impose their will
on you. And and right Arizona allowed

653
00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:39.000
allowed Houston to impose their will on
them, you know, a couple of

654
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:42.880
years ago, and you can't let
that happen. So, you know,

655
00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.440
you have to make Houston worry about
playing you instead of you always worrying about

656
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:50.280
playing Houston. So right, whoever? Right, Yeah, I'm hoping like

657
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:53.760
this weekend's game Saturday night is like
a blowout, you know, nothing like

658
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:57.960
what happened last year. It was
that was pretty bad. Well, I

659
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.559
think I think he'll be on the
I think, but I would like to

660
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.320
see not a close game. I
want to see a blowout. Yeah,

661
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:06.840
I think Arizona would be on the
alert for that. Yeah, not least,

662
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:10.239
I think so too give an issue. Luckily caught Utah at a terrible

663
00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:15.079
time. Yeah, I was shocked, you know, I mean, I

664
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:20.079
mean just like Utah just gave up. Yeah, you know, they they

665
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:22.679
didn't want to play. Yeah,
okay, all right, Brian hey man,

666
00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:27.880
be well, thanks about I like
Brian's listening to me and kind of

667
00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:30.880
going my way, even if it's
only twice a day. Okay with that,

668
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:35.199
And I'm just being realistic. I
mean, if you want to talk

669
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:39.440
about your your momentum and trends,
what's Arizona's trend? What says Arizona trend?

670
00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:45.719
Guarding on the perimeter right, struggling
against not so good teams? Okay,

671
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:47.639
you don't think it's going to happen
again, or they're going to see

672
00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:52.519
those teams again. We'll find out, you know, I don't know.

673
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:55.800
Look you know again and I said
earlier, I think I said last way,

674
00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:59.760
I said, if Arizona Wendsley's two
games, you can't just assume everything's

675
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:02.760
all good and they're set for the
year. But you know, they what

676
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:06.639
they have to They just got to
keep doing this. They need to Brand's

677
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:08.440
right, they need to blow out
ASU. They can't go play a close

678
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:13.000
game against ASU because they see not
very good. And that's here right there.

679
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:15.800
That game is here here Saturday night. I don't think you worry about

680
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:20.119
here, Yeah, you worry about
there, but the listener, Yeah,

681
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:24.599
but they beat Arizona here last year
with that half court shot. But the

682
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:28.400
fact that ASU was in the game
at the end in position to do that,

683
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:30.360
you can't let them do that.
You got to take care of business

684
00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:34.559
here, you know, beat them
by you know, eighteen twenty points,

685
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.679
and people say, okay, we're
still you know, Arizona's still on the

686
00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:42.559
you know, on the upswing.
And then then after that, I think

687
00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:45.599
you've got shot. They've played three
three home games, so they must have

688
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:49.679
the Washington Schools coming in and then
they go on the road again. Hey,

689
00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:52.440
man, Washington is next weekend.
We're fifteen, we're fifteen weeks in

690
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:57.239
Man. We got a month before
the tournament. They pack twelve tournament and

691
00:46:57.280 --> 00:47:00.239
then the big tournament. It's it's
right around this court. They've got Yeah,

692
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:04.400
they got as and they got the
Washington Schools. Man nine o'clock game,

693
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:09.880
which one Washington a week from a
week from Thursday. Seconds, nine

694
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:17.719
o'clock. They cry, Yeah,

695
00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.440
eight. Dan all right, okay, anybody want to call again? About

696
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.119
five minutes. We've got to call
it. One more call. You're on

697
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.480
the air and eye them ball Hey
guys, it's John. How you guys

698
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:35.480
doing, John, How are you? I'm all right. I don't trust

699
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:38.239
these guys neither, Like Brian,
Yeah, well I hear you. It's

700
00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:42.679
funny now knowing who you are.
Done. You're kind of a Twitter guy

701
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:46.519
too, aren't you. I've got
to play around a little bit exactly.

702
00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:52.719
You know what's funny talk about you
bring up the eggs. Steve all weekend

703
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:55.239
long, he was like, oh, Umar Ballo when he plays well,

704
00:47:55.639 --> 00:48:00.639
Arizona does well that he has to
do well. Right, and then they

705
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:04.639
said, then somebody tweeted the same
thing about Pally, right, and then

706
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:08.079
the same thing about about the guard. Carlin kind of yeah, yeah,

707
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:13.800
No, it's like everybody everybody has
his place. Yeah, but it's like,

708
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:19.800
hey, everybody has to play well, right right. It's the thing

709
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:22.920
is that, you know, it's
like it's not that if this guy plays

710
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:27.360
well, the team will do well. It's like everybody's got to play well.

711
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:32.000
And everybody played played well over the
over the weekend. Colorado was that

712
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:36.679
was an awesome game. Yeah,
I was, I was. I was

713
00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:39.199
really surprised by that game. I
just thought they were going to be gassed

714
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:42.719
and the whole bit, and they
just came out and just you know,

715
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:45.760
they I mean, Colorado really was
never in the game. Of course,

716
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:47.719
if you're like me, even when
Arizona's up by twenty, I'm like,

717
00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:51.199
Okay, if they go on to
four nothing run and cut it to sixteen,

718
00:48:51.480 --> 00:48:53.800
I get worried about them losing the
game, are blowing the lead,

719
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:58.519
and I think Colorado twelve or fourteen
at one point, I'm thinking, don't

720
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:02.159
blow this, And they were never
in day for blowing it. Yeah,

721
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:06.519
but it's like you said, like
you say, Jay that that twenty point

722
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:10.000
league gets to sixteen and then it
goes to twelve. Yep, and then

723
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:15.280
they've had a history of going to
sleep on offense. Yeah, they've done

724
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:16.679
that a bit. They have done
that a bit, and their start your

725
00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:25.559
your I don't trust these guys exactly
exactly. For mere disappointment would be if

726
00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:30.559
they don't get out of the first
weekend. If we get to the regional,

727
00:49:30.079 --> 00:49:35.320
the sweet sixteen, I think that
we'll be in. I think that's

728
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:38.159
what we're going to be, playing
teams that we did. I think the

729
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:42.679
guys are going to be focused to
play and what happens happened. Yes,

730
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:45.960
and if you go up against a
better team, okay, you go in

731
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:51.719
up against a better team. Yeah. Yeah, but the first round,

732
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:54.639
the first and second rounds are going
to be scary, especially if we get

733
00:49:54.679 --> 00:49:59.639
through the first round and we play
somebody that got an upset in the second

734
00:49:59.719 --> 00:50:01.840
round and all of a sudden,
it's like, hey, you want to

735
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:07.159
beat Arizona, just cross half court
and chuck it because we're gonna make it.

736
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:10.320
Everybody does. Don how old are
you don't mind me asking? Fifty

737
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:14.480
eight? Fifty eight? Oh so
your buck Orange, and so what were

738
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:20.400
you doing in two thousand and one, two thousand and one, I was,

739
00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:22.599
actually I was. I was on
a working on a project. I

740
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.840
was on campus at the U of
A. Okay, that's the last time

741
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:32.280
they went to the Final four.
Yeah, well, Jesuise, did you

742
00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:37.199
have to say it like that?
He keeps doing that. Done, he

743
00:50:37.280 --> 00:50:44.360
keeps doing that. I'll tell Louis, Louis, it's like my next door

744
00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:46.719
neighbor. He was all like,
he's a forty nine er fan and he's

745
00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:51.519
telling me, man, it's been
thirty years since we won a Super Bowl.

746
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:54.239
And I look at him, I
go, I don't care. It's

747
00:50:54.280 --> 00:51:00.039
been forty years. It's been forty
years since the Raiders won up. Okay,

748
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:07.360
all perspective done, all perspective,
okay, all perspective and momentum.

749
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:10.559
Yeah, well Arizona doesn't have any
momentum at the Final four, so we'll

750
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:15.280
play that. Thank you, Donk
all right, don thanks, all right,

751
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:22.760
thanks just keep saying that, man, that just you know, I

752
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:25.239
think about that time. Arizona will
be fine. Got to get to the

753
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:30.840
Sweet sixteen, got to get to
and then you'll play like teams. You'll

754
00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:34.719
meet up for the teams. And
then if you if you run up against

755
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:37.119
a team that's just equally as good, what do you do You say,

756
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:42.320
Okay, here we go, here
we go, or hey, we tip

757
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:46.800
your cap, whatever you do to
the other team because they were good.

758
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:51.960
It was only Monday. It was
only Monday on Monday. Okay, we're

759
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.480
moving along, so no good stuff. Thank you to aer Taurus that that

760
00:51:54.559 --> 00:51:59.320
was good stuff that you had on
Arizona. There's an article in The Athletic

761
00:51:59.840 --> 00:52:02.880
UH or you can listen to the
Until Saturday podcast to hear Jed Fish's comments

762
00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:07.559
and then you can decide whether or
not you believe what he had to say.

763
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:10.119
I know, Fancy, there's a
lot of fans in this town who

764
00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:14.559
are still angry at him for for
leaving. But you're gonna do what you're

765
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:17.960
gonna do, not anymore since they
got Brent Brannan. You were before,

766
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:23.320
not angry, just like, don't
feed me a line of bull and then

767
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:28.480
go against the line of bull.
You know, don't do that. You

768
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:30.400
know, if you want to leave, like I said, if he had

769
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:31.880
always, if you had never said, oh we're dug in, you know,

770
00:52:31.920 --> 00:52:36.960
we really love it here and we're
gonna you know what you just say.

771
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:40.360
You know we're here, but don't
don't give every don't try and sell

772
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:45.599
I'm here forever. Then blow out
of town the first chance you get.

773
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:47.679
That's all. And that's what he
did. Okay, all right, let's

774
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:51.880
get out of here. We'll be
back tomorrow and we'll have some more stuff.

775
00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.079
So stick around and not stick around, but come back tomorrow
