00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:05.759
Steve Rivera and Jag and Salles.
They have their eye on the ball on

2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:12.599
Tucson Sports yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty
streaming live on the ID radio. Laugh,

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:21.839
I had I didn't know that was
coming. I think I just know.

4
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.359
I literally went to go put in. They let it. I would

5
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.920
like, no way I happened.
I think we I think it was right

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.320
before we miss Okay, well we're
on. We're on. Welcome back to

7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:41.679
breaking news and breaking whatever else we're
doings. Well, if you heard that,

8
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.399
good for you, Jay and I. I know everyone is on the

9
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.960
edge of their seat finding out who
won the bet from us this weekend.

10
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.119
Yes they are, and we actually
split. So the under in the game

11
00:00:53.799 --> 00:01:00.960
was won by I had under and
for some reason I thought I had you

12
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.960
of a under eighty, but it
was under seventy two. I think,

13
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.239
so you have a scored seventy eight
and they won seventy eight seventy three at

14
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.519
Cameron. Obviously Steve was there,
but it was a lot of what I

15
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:18.879
think we expected from this team and
what Yeah, it really looked as though

16
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:25.959
like Tommy kind of out coached what
is it shire yea And I think early

17
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.719
on in the season. We've seen
Tommy and his team have a lot of

18
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.159
success. Hopefully that can continue.
But they looked like a really, really

19
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.799
good basketball team and they're up to
three and the eight people, what does

20
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.560
this do. We've been here a
thousand times before, right, expectations get

21
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:46.079
high, right, and then they
turned out to be unrealistic expectations. What

22
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.920
does this do? It gets those
expectations high again. Yeah, yeah,

23
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.640
it's really lazing to see. We've
seen this book, We've read this book.

24
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.000
What it does, Steve, is
that for the rest of the season,

25
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.840
for the rest of the year,
because of this one win, for

26
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.840
the rest of the year, people
in this time are going to believe they

27
00:01:59.879 --> 00:02:02.359
can win the national gap, right, unless they often lose, Like if

28
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.959
lose to Michigan State, lose to
FAU, lose to Alabama. You know,

29
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.039
all those games that are on in
front of them. You know,

30
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.159
these these games against ranked teams.
Let's say go lose all of them.

31
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.199
But you just don't think they're going
to know, you don't think that's capable.

32
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.159
Michigan State lost to James Madison,
you know, and they got to

33
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:22.000
play Duke here. We'll find out
something about Michigan State. I think they

34
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.639
played Duke on Thursdayday Chicago Classic.
Yeah, Michigan. You know, you

35
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.560
know, in this time, because
of what Arizona did to Duke, people

36
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.000
in this time are going to keep
it on that game to say, Okay,

37
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:35.680
here's two teams Arizona plays. If
Duke goes out and mashes Michigan State,

38
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.639
people are gonna circle that as a
win for Arizona when they when they

39
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:44.080
under Thanksgiving unrealistic expectations, they're gonna
lose some games. Of course they they

40
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:50.120
should realistically. They might, like
you say, but this team showed what

41
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.240
it's capable of. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. There are a

42
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.919
handful of Arizona fans out there who
think Arizona's going undefeated. Oh sure,

43
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.159
Oh sure, Hey, I don't
think there's anything wrong with that. They

44
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.840
started twenty two to one to win
it. I don't know where the're at

45
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.479
right now. You could probably check, but I would assume they're what eighteen

46
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.039
eighteen were probably down to that.
We're probably fifteen to one now to win

47
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.439
the national championship. You said they
were twenty two to one to begin the

48
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:19.680
year right now, Yeah, but
they're up to third in the poll just

49
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:24.360
behind Purdue at to Kansas at one. Arizona plays Purdue in a little less

50
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.080
than a month now, the next
big big game obviously, and they got

51
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.479
the first place votes. Yeah,
they did get some free to get some

52
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.000
number one. It is the They
were impressive. They were impressive. They

53
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.960
went to their eight guys, the
eight guys. He showed who his eight

54
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.000
guys were. Our guy, my
guy, Phillip getting the top eight Arizona

55
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.240
sixteen to one. Yeah, I
would you know what, I'd be smart

56
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.360
to put ten Kansas. Kansas is
at ten, per Due at eleven,

57
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:57.400
Kentucky at twelve, Duke at thirteen, Arizona and yukonnor at sixty. Interesting,

58
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.000
that's probably maybe the best value will
be. Yeah, a year aside

59
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.120
from the beginning of the season games, but they just beat Doku. A

60
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.520
lot of people, according to Vegas, still like to win the national championship,

61
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.919
And as an Arizona fan, I'd
be it'd be criminal for me to

62
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.000
say that, Oh I don't I
think we can win the national championship just

63
00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.720
by sure. But any other year
you could have said that when he first

64
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:21.720
got here, in the year he
had last year when they played really well,

65
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.160
he could have said that every year
relute pretty much in the second half

66
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.959
of the Jesus career. We talked
about it earlier. It feels like in

67
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.079
out of all the Tommy teams,
maybe aside from Ben and Dalen, that

68
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:39.720
was that was his first real team, and Tommy was still maybe trying to

69
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.279
figure out how to be a head
coach. It seems as though with these

70
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.079
guys it is different. I know
you have a lot of stuff too,

71
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.360
So I want to maybe have this
question just now that I thought of it.

72
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.040
Okay, so we hear this,
but Jed, right, I didn't

73
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.240
really expect this from Jed. He
proved me wrong, YadA YadA. Right,

74
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.399
Well, you could say the same
thing for many people say about Tommy

75
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.839
he loses and can't rec right.
Right. I want to see if anybody

76
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.000
has the nuts or the stones or
whatever you want to say, to call

77
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.399
it and say I screwed up two
in April I was on his ass,

78
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.199
and then now I don't. I'm
wrong, just as many people said who

79
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.160
about Tommy as they said about Jed
exactly, and in the in the spring,

80
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.480
we're saying, what the hell is
he doing? Yeah? Am I

81
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.240
wrong? No, you're not,
You're not wrong. I wonder if anybody

82
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.360
can call and say, Okay,
I was one of those guys that really

83
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.480
screwed up. I thought that he
was not capable of moving us to the

84
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.759
next level. Yeah, well he
still does have to get us to the

85
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.839
next level. Sure, sure,
but this level is a good level.

86
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.839
This level is pretty dang sweet,
especially being a fan going to the school.

87
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.480
All the games are great when Gale's
packed, Like, that's what you

88
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.040
want a you go to the school
like I go to games and this is

89
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.079
I love Tommy. Tommy gets the
crowd going he wants. He has a

90
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.040
certain passion for this program that I
mean is expected, but you love to

91
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.759
see it. So it's good.
But kyl and Boswell won Pack twelve Player

92
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.759
of the Week given his performance really
kind of filled the stat sheet. Twelve,

93
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.279
twelve points, a bunch, rebound, some assists. That's just the

94
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.439
guy he's gonna be all. He
does it fluidly, He doesn't do it

95
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:09.759
spectactularly. Nothing's forced. No,
it's it's a lot less rigid than last

96
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.439
year. And maybe that's just because
he has the ball in his hands more.

97
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.879
Maybe it's a second year confidence.
But and I'm gonna say one thing

98
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.199
because he's don't make a mistake.
I'm not saying he's a saline start of

99
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:26.319
myn level shooter, but he's got
the nicest step back three. It's a

100
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.879
it's a smooth just a smooth thing. He hit a couple of those on

101
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.480
Saturday, and the step back and
he's so quick with it. So we

102
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.879
were getting to you and I just
happened to meet each other before the press

103
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.519
coverage, and Jake and and what
did I say? The difference was the

104
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.040
back court is is nothing like it's
been. It's not current influenced, it's

105
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.360
not anybody else influenced. It's not
Ben, Ben was the guy. But

106
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:54.519
this is a group of three or
four guys coming at you. Yeah,

107
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.680
one guy comes, one guy comes
out, another guy comes in. And

108
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.879
it's the same yeah, and the
same pressure, the same the same pronounced

109
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.000
aggressiveness. Yeah, there's there's minimal
drop off in those next two guys,

110
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.240
right. I mean, I think
Kylon and Caleb are going to be one

111
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.959
of the best backcourts in college basketball. But having Bradley and Lewis kJ Lewis

112
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.279
came in and he is an energizer. Dude, Dude, who grew up

113
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:21.519
in that game. But kJ Lewis
and Crevas. Creis was not that dude

114
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.839
we saw last week. We didn't
see that against Morgan State. In fact,

115
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:30.040
I was again as we were walking
against Morgan State. I saw previously

116
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:34.240
he kept getting blocked from behind.
He didn't have awareness of guys around him,

117
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.120
and Morgan State was blocking his shots. And then of a sudden,

118
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.680
he goes up against Duke and that
didn't happen. He looked, he looked

119
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.839
like a guy who knows he made
it some some level of adjustment or whatever,

120
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.040
and he all of a sudden was
really damn good and effective. He

121
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.079
he's he's a big dude, big
dude. I wonder if the Rocky felt

122
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:58.160
this one he was going against the
Drago because he's got that big dude,

123
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.839
He's got that big presence. Yeah, And it feels as though we're two

124
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:09.079
games in some some preseason game in
But the identity to this team feels wildly,

125
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:15.800
wildly different than last year's and that
these guys as opposed to like whither

126
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.600
in the moment, they want to
grab it and they will win these games

127
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.560
and they're gonna do whatever it takes. What was the what was the one

128
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:26.000
thing that was criticized last year,
but total they have the toughness, toughness

129
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.319
and that's Hey, say what you
want about the transfer portal, but that

130
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.399
it came from. It came from
those guys. You have a grittiness with

131
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.399
love like and then you have Bradley
who's not going to back down. And

132
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.159
then you have Johnson. Johnson going
to be he doesn't care who you are

133
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:46.960
exactly. So there's our college basketball
talk. We can talk a little bit

134
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.879
about a SU's athletic director Anderson he
resigned. I don't I think for a

135
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.000
lot of people. Uh it was
probably a long long time coming. But

136
00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.399
he's gone. That's up there up
north. But college football. So UVE

137
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.960
is now ranked nineteenth in the current
People. The Coaches poll is twenty one.

138
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.919
Utah's eighteen in the Coaches poll and
a little higher in the A People.

139
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.000
So it's gonna be realistically like a
top twenty matchup this week, right

140
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.039
and Tyler Loop, who kicked the
game winning field goal against Colorado Packtwell Special

141
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.399
Teams Player of the Year will leave
him week week, not year, year

142
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.919
not year. We'll need him hopefully
this week if the games are close.

143
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:33.919
Went kick. Well, I think
you know how much confidence yeah, Jed

144
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.360
has in him with how he handled
the last couple of minutes of the game.

145
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.720
He went for the field goal,
you know, in that last instead

146
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.000
of In fact, he was happy
that they didn't score that touchdown with a

147
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.519
little over a minute left because that
would have given to Shador Sanders a minute

148
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.159
to go down and try and tie
the game. So he was happy that

149
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.919
they didn't score that touchdown. And
then he just said, we're playing for

150
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:56.840
the field goal. We know he's
gonna make it, and that's what they

151
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.320
did, and he did, and
he's moving Forwar or two. Jed has

152
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.240
confidence in him in like long field. So he has a big leg and

153
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.399
so he's not gonna be afraid to
use it. And so squeaked squeaked out

154
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.360
a win in Colorado, and Jay
mentioned it earlier, but those are games

155
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:13.240
in the past couple of years that
they don't win on the road. You

156
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:18.639
need to win, right and seven
and three Arizona seven and three Utah at

157
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:24.720
home this weekend. It's a twelve
thirty pick on Pack twelve Network. Awesome

158
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.600
God, which is amazing to me
that that game landed on Unpacked twelve Network.

159
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.919
In a week where the slate is
bad, the next best game is

160
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.639
Kansas Kansas State or Tennessee Georgia.
And this has a lot of Jed mentioned

161
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:39.919
it, a lot of implications for
the PAC twelve. U of A is

162
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:45.360
still not mathematically eliminated from Okay,
let's talk about that. Yeah we can,

163
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.159
because because that's that's a true story. And Steve's going, what Yeah,

164
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.360
And I confirmed this with John Wilner. So in its simplest form in

165
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.440
the in the simplest thing to happen, and it's a lot of so it

166
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.519
can't. You know, I'm not
saying that this is likely. I'm just

167
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.360
saying it's not out of it,
not out of the question. Okay,

168
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.639
Washington wins out, Arizona wins out, Oregon beats a SU which we think

169
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.279
they're gonna do, and then it
loses to Oregon State, and U c

170
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:22.639
l A beats USC. Those things
all happen in Arizona's in the Peckhal Championship

171
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.480
game. Now there's some other scenarios
that can happen, like say, let's

172
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.120
say Oregon State beats Washington, and
yeah, you know, all these other

173
00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:33.600
things can happen. There's some other
scenarios. This is the simplest one.

174
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.559
Now again, there's probably about a
five percent chance this is gonna happen.

175
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:43.480
Maybe maybe the I think the biggest, the more unlike, most unlikely thing

176
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.360
that's gonna happen in there is USC
losing to u c l A u c

177
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.960
l A look bad again, this
US US. Yeah, but you know,

178
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.639
you don't know what's gonna happen,
you know, in that game.

179
00:11:56.080 --> 00:12:00.320
But it's not you know, it's
not a stretch to say that Oregon stake.

180
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.000
So let me ask you. Before
the game started, wasn't Arizona one

181
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.879
point dog at Colorado? Yeah?
No, no, no, no,

182
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.919
no, you know began yesterday?
What was it? What do they open

183
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:16.440
at? Oh, the Ardinols No, no, no, Arizona against the

184
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.759
Utah against Utah. I don't know. Because they're now a favorite by one,

185
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:22.080
they're not favorite by one. I
thought they were a dog by one.

186
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.919
Yeah, I know, yeah,
I can look it up, either

187
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.759
flip two points or whatever, because
I thought they were a dog by one.

188
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.879
But you know, none of those, none of those four things.

189
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:37.840
Is that out of the realm of
possibility? Now likely? No, possible,

190
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.799
Yes, this is a dumb question. But I ask it sometimes,

191
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.320
do you guys believe in destiny and
things? How things happen? Sure,

192
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.919
this is a weird thing. What's
happening with this football program is weird because

193
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.000
that's a super second. They do
go nine and three, Jed Jed then

194
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.679
has some decisions, Arizona has some
decisions. Uh, the players that kind

195
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.039
of stepped up with the other guys
injured and the reason why they got injured.

196
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.080
Do you know what I'm saying?
Things? Yea, if things happened

197
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.559
for a reason. Yeah, Like
if if in three weeks you're telling me

198
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.320
you as playing for the Pactal Championship
game, I would I would be shocked,

199
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:15.960
but I wouldn't be like, Okay, this is the craziest thing I've

200
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.200
ever seen. Like it would be
one of them. They were not supposed

201
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:20.759
to go nine and three or what
come on? He had it at what

202
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.759
eighty five percent? What did you
say earlier? I said eighty five percent

203
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.720
they would go ten and three?
And what did you say? What was

204
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.120
your eighty percent? When I said
poop twin ten games? Now that's a

205
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.399
possibility. Well, yeah, we
we thought we were gonna beat Colorado.

206
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.399
You gotta beat ASU and then well, Utah is the Utah is the key,

207
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.600
and so we'll see. But hey, if you throw the Pacteal championship

208
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:45.320
game in there, you get another
game and they win that, they go

209
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:50.200
to rose ball. You're talking crazy. We only have a minute left.

210
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.480
But uh, the other college football
news, if you if you're keeping up

211
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.759
with it, Harbaugh will be attending
his court hearing saying quote, I will

212
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:03.480
talk. So we'll see. We'll
see what that happens after he's been suspended

213
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.799
three games. But it didn't look
like Michigan really skipped a beat. And

214
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.080
then the last thing, I found
this interesting because it involves the Pac twelve.

215
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.120
So the heisman, the current heisman
ods Bone Nicks is the odds on

216
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:18.480
favorite at minus one fifty, Michael
Pennix, then Marvin Harrison, and then

217
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.000
jayde and Daniels, and so it's
looking like whoever wins that Pack twelve championship

218
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.759
game, if it is Oregon and
Washington, will win the Heisman. And

219
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.519
I'm looking at it in Jane Daniels
and I've looked at his stats. Here's

220
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.519
thirty eight touchdowns this year. That's
eight more than Michael Pennix. That's twelve

221
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:39.720
more than bon Nicks, and he's
at plus seven hundred to win the Heisman,

222
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.159
even though LSU is only seventy to
three. So and we have nine

223
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.720
seconds. I wasn't too impressed with
him. He's stunk at ASU. Yeah,

224
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.600
but he's he counted for over five
hundred yards. Better performer. Yeah.

225
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.879
Okay, good job, all right
man, nice job. We're gonna

226
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.679
come back, Jodi Ayler. We're
gonna talk about that thing that happened up

227
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.320
in Phoenix yesterday with the Cardinals,
Kyler Murray having a great game. The

228
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.440
Cardinals win on a last second field
goal. So Jody'll fill us in.

306
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:48.039
you doing for good? Are you
still jet lag from Durham, North Carolina

307
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.519
Sea. Yeah, might hate to
travel nowadays. You know a lot of

308
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:55.960
it right? Yeah? I used
to do it now I don't. I'm

309
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.000
okay with it. I'm okay with
it. Where did it rank? Where

310
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:00.839
did it live up to the high
You've seen a lot of buildings, You've

311
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.119
seen a lot of games, and
it was it worth it? Oh?

312
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.480
Very much worth it, very much
worth A good question. I don't know

313
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.079
if you remember, and asked Jay
this back in the day, was Stanford?

314
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:14.240
Stanford? Those dudes were crazy too, Yeah, smart crazy. You

315
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.599
know that was good LSU, Michigan
State. So it's in the top two,

316
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.279
top three. Glad I went,
Glad I went. You know,

317
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:26.759
at least. I was in Durham, North Carolina this summer on a family

318
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.160
vacation, and I wanted to take
the kid there to just use the bathroom,

319
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.880
to treat it like the toilet that
it is. But it was all

320
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.319
flow. It's not as close as
I've come. But I view it as

321
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.519
one of the nicest public restaurant.
It's actually private, but one of the

322
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.559
light nicest bathrooms in the North Carolina. I thought I heard this, that

323
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.920
Billis had said this. You have
guys are kids who are paiding eighty thousand

324
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:51.839
dollars a year to sleep outside to
go to a basketball game. Now,

325
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.000
yeah, how messed up as well. The locals there talking about like that

326
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.799
none of those kids are from the
area. You know, a bunch of

327
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.160
it's from you know, up north, and they come down and they spend

328
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:04.640
a ton of money to go and
you know, and then it's duke basketball.

329
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.480
So kind of a neat little slice
of life in college basketball for sure.

330
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.759
Even though I hate them with all
of my all of my innergery,

331
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.319
you you'll understand this, and Jay
will two. So Arizona's beat them three

332
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.119
three straight times. I think they
have the series six to four, something

333
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.000
like that. And we talk a
lot about Duke because it's duke basketball,

334
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.000
but you know what apples to apples
outside of the national championships, Arizona's not

335
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.960
too far back. No, That's
what I thought was so encouraging about that

336
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.839
game on Friday. Is just the
litmus test. But you know, obviously,

337
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.480
and this has been a big topic
conversation for a while, is just

338
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:42.680
Arizona's Final Four absence for so long
makes it difficult to make that case.

339
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.000
And it's true, but they need
to get back to the Final Four to

340
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:51.000
remind everybody. But I thought there
was no difference between the programs, the

341
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:55.519
players obviously Arizona beat them. I
mean, I agree with you, but

342
00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.559
there is obviously Duke's got more national
championship final fours in the last twenty years.

343
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.359
Yeah, yeah, okay, let's
move on, all right, Jody,

344
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.400
As I said, you're you're our
Cardinals slash Kyler Murray expert. So

345
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.519
anytime Kyler does something bad or good, we call you. So we called

346
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:18.720
you because he did some good things
yesterday. Your expectations going into the game,

347
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.440
you know, coming off the the
long injury, was he going to

348
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:23.799
be Kyler that you know, the
good Kyler or is there he going to

349
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:27.599
be a bad Kyler or what?
First of all your thoughts going in,

350
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.200
well, I was just excited to
see what he would have learned and applied.

351
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.559
You know, physically, who can
guess how someone's body's going to react.

352
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.920
Everyone's different, and so I honestly
didn't really have any expectations for how

353
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.480
you would look physically. Now he
blew any and all expectations way. He

354
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:48.000
was lightning quick. It was vintage
Kyler. There was you know, mobility

355
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.720
and the athleticism and the quickness.
But what I was really watching for is

356
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.599
we spent the last ten months hearing
about how it's a different Kyler. It's

357
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:00.160
more mature Kyler. It's more engaged
Kyler. He's starting to get it.

358
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:03.000
He's around the facility more, he's
in meetings, he's he's reaching out more

359
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:07.519
to his teammates, And so I
was really looking to look at the boxes

360
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.640
to check our body language on the
field, communication with teammates, communication with

361
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.359
coaching staff. Remember, Kyler was
dropping that bombs on DeAndre Hopkins, he

362
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.920
was dropping that bombs on Cliff Kingsbury
once. It's easy to kind of be

363
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.440
new and improved until you get into
a game and the emotions are running high,

364
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:26.079
and you know, he threw an
interception to traymick bride shoot on him

365
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.920
a little bit. But then after
the game was like, Trey McBride was

366
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.799
right, we didn't work on that
in practice. I own it. It's

367
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.000
my fault. And so I thought
in a lot of ways, Kyler passed

368
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.440
with flying colors. Yeah, nice, was he one of those guys because

369
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.200
he didn't study or whatever. The
perception was that he just relied on his

370
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:48.119
athletic ability to get him through.
Yeah, He's also like he's a really

371
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.680
really smart kid. He's a really
smart kid, and I think what happened

372
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.240
is he just got used to like
showing up and things would come easy,

373
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:02.559
because he's freakishly gifted athletically and he's
gifted did intellectually, and so I don't

374
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.319
think the NFL was something he thought
he would have to put an extra work

375
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:11.759
in. And I think what we
saw last year, that humble, you

376
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.720
know, nature of losing in football, hopefully transformed him a little bit.

377
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.799
And so yeah, I think we
watched him combine his physical skills his mental

378
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.960
skills and if that ever comes together
fully and you know, one game in

379
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.279
the Dello story, and there's a
long way to go. And Kyler's biggest

380
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.160
question in his professional career is he
is really shrunk. And the biggest Cardinals

381
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.799
games he's played, and that's more
or less true for his entire NFL career

382
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.039
will hopefully see more of an opportunity
for him to prove that wrong in the

383
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:42.799
future. But I think he let
showed he's on his way with a coaching

384
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:48.000
staff and in a real scheme and
a real leadership structure, that the best

385
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:49.319
is yet to come. Yeah,
Well, we've talked to you, We've

386
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:53.559
asked you about the new coach and
the atmosphere that's being created. I mean,

387
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:57.799
is it I mean, is it
that different? It is? Yeah,

388
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:02.799
No, it's wildly different. I
mean, guys were surprised early on

389
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.480
that Jonathan Ganning cared if they were
on timed meetings. Cliff Kingsbury ran it

390
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.680
very lax, you know, Cliff
Kingsbury didn't have the leverage to hold guys

391
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.759
accountable because everyone knew he wasn't qualified
to hope him accountable. He knew it.

392
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.200
And so I think Jonathan Gannon came
in there said my way of the

393
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.720
highway. We're accountable, we're open, we're honest, we communicate, we

394
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.960
treat you like men. But you
got to earn it. It is radically

395
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.799
different from the last four years.
And Kyler, you know, has never

396
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.000
been outside of his comfort zone football. He's basically run the same offense from

397
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:36.160
high school through college. In his
first four years in the NFL. This

398
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:37.920
offense, he's got to go under
center a little bit, he's gonna run

399
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.680
play action, he's gonna run foot
legs. And so what we saw early

400
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:47.359
on is that all of that seems
to be gelling well together. Again one

401
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:51.039
game, plenty of cons further evaluate, but so far, so good.

402
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.319
I was just gonna say, let's
not get too crazy, or maybe we

403
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.039
do, because they've after all,
they've been Atlanta. Well, that does

404
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.079
not you know, that's not Buffalo, it's not Dallas. Is not well

405
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.720
there to be Dallas. You know
what I'm saying. You have to put

406
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.279
things more perspective. They do.
It's the top ten and overall defense,

407
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.480
Atlanta's been pretty good this year,
but you're right, it's not a juggernaut.

408
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.960
And it's one game, and Atlanta's
kind of a team on the decline.

409
00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:17.640
They might fire their head coach mid
season, and they're just sort of,

410
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.599
you know, poorly led from top
to bottom with not a great quarterback.

411
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:26.359
But it's all we have to evaluate. And again, there were fifteen

412
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:29.440
ways this could have gone wrong.
The offense could have looked a disaster.

413
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:32.720
Kyler could have looked slow and indecisive. You know, we could have seen

414
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.920
arguments on the sideline. We just
didn't see any of that. The way

415
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.160
I described it this morning, guys, is what happened is it turned all

416
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.440
of the Cardinals questions into a positive
question. All of the Cardinals questions had

417
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.039
been a negative like, oh god, what are they gonna do? What's

418
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:49.920
happening? What are they going to
do next? Now it's like, oh,

419
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.519
what could they do next? What's
possible? And for now, this

420
00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.799
is a team and a franchise that
needed that injection of positivity and they got

421
00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:02.599
it after one game. Now,
again, you and I, you guys

422
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:06.960
and I all know things change very
quickly in sports. But for now,

423
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.319
it's a it's a good start.
Well, as you said, again,

424
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:14.519
it's better than the the alternative.
He had come out at a horrible game.

425
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.599
You know, they would have lost
at home again. Now they're going

426
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:19.640
to one and nine and you know, I mean it's it was better than

427
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.400
the alternative, and so you give
you give your fans some hope. So

428
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.440
he's got he's got a game coming
up against a guy who's really lighting it

429
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:30.000
up right now, CJ. Stroud. You know, is he the kind

430
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:32.839
of guy that'll you know, see
that as a challenge and want to go

431
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.319
out and show because of that,
or is he just going to do what

432
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:38.920
he's going to do Tyler? I
mean, I think Tyler is going to

433
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:42.319
absolutely want to go out there and
shift that he's a better young quarterback than

434
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.720
CJ. Stroud. You know,
it's kind of a really interesting matchup when

435
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:51.839
you consider Damiko Ryans and Jonathan Gannon
are both first year head coaches. Obviously,

436
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.400
there was the draft day trade where
they acquired Will Anderson with the Cardinals

437
00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:57.839
third overall pick and trade at a
future first of the Cardinals. We thought

438
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:02.519
that might have been the second overall. That might be the twentieth pickoverall the

439
00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:04.480
way the Texans are going, So
there's a lot at stake, and I

440
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.359
think it's a great point, Jay, where I think this is a game

441
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.279
where you could see Kyler and the
team kind of want to show like,

442
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:14.640
hey, forget about this kid,
this new kid on the block, like

443
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.759
Kyler Murray was forgotten about for eighteen
months as a real deal NFL quarterback,

444
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.279
and there's a great opportunity on Sunday
for him to prove that wrong. Now

445
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:27.279
again, Arizona's defense is not great. The Cardinals defense nearly cost him against

446
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.559
the Falcons. It's got some real
questions in the secondary. They're banged up

447
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:34.079
on the defensive line, the offensive
line is banged up. This is far

448
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.680
from a finished product, but it
wouldn't shock me after the rust of the

449
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.559
first game was knocked up if Kyler
Murray was really good on Sunday. So

450
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.880
what are these guys capable of the
rest of the way. Yeah, so

451
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.160
they got seven games left and three
games that I think are winnable. You've

452
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:55.200
got the Bears, You've got the
Seahawks, You've got the Rams, maybe

453
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:57.440
the Texans, but you know,
they still got the Eagles coming, they

454
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:00.279
still got the forty nine Ers,
still have some tough games. I think

455
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.880
three and four over their final seven, So making it four and four under

456
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:11.519
Kyler Murray and probably ending up with
like the seventh ninth picking the draft feels

457
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.759
about right based on what we saw. But you know, the defense is

458
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.079
bad enough to where they could When
I say bat, they're just under talented.

459
00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:21.200
They're well coached and well schemed,
but they could. They could go

460
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:23.279
conceivably, you know, over the
last seven two and five, and it

461
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.880
wouldn't be shocking. We're talking to
Jody Taylor from Fox Sports nine ten in

462
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.400
Phoenix. All right, Joey,
let's change subjects. Ray Anderson fired,

463
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:36.480
Uh not shock, not shocked?
Right? No, what's next up there?

464
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:40.680
What are we thinking about? Kenny
Dillingham looks like going to be UCLA,

465
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.640
so they got to feel good about
him. Well, I think,

466
00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:47.759
you know, it's interesting when as
hired Kenny Dillingham, they kind of followed

467
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:52.240
the Jetfishmontel a little bit right the
way Arizona succeeded with Jetfish. Kenny Dillingham

468
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.960
is a version of that. And
I think if your ASU, you got

469
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:56.759
to look at Arizona and how they
hired a n AV. Now, maybe

470
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.240
they go for a guy that spent
a lot of time that was sort of

471
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:07.599
you know, d platform by Ray
Anderson and kind of shoved at the side.

472
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:10.759
Or maybe they could go with somebody
like Dave Heikey who came from a

473
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:15.359
smaller school, you know, and
a group of five school that eager to

474
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.000
prove that they can get it done
at the big twelve level starting next year.

475
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.400
But you know, it's it's just
a challenge, man. It's really

476
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:26.920
hard for a issue to carve out
a big footprint up here. It's been

477
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:32.480
an ongoing issue for everyone's entire life, and it's a big challenge for the

478
00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:36.319
next ad who. You know,
Bobby Hurley's future is a little uncertain,

479
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.000
although they wont up a tournament game
last year. Obviously, Kenny Dillingham in

480
00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:42.559
year one's not gonna win a lot
of games, But I thought UCLA win

481
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:49.279
was a huge program win. So
there's there's some opportunity here, but it's

482
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:55.440
it's a complicated environment to get the
kind of attention that even Arizona intoy it.

483
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.759
So all the nine years that he
was there and some of the goods

484
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.559
and a lot of the bads,
how would you rate his performance there?

485
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:07.559
Ad the second he was the second
highest bade athletic director in the country.

486
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:09.880
So it was a catastrophic failure by
that measurement, right, I mean it

487
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:15.079
was herm Edwards was a bad hire. He did obviously kept Bobby Hurley around.

488
00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:20.039
I think the hiring of Kenny Dillingham
was more of a you know,

489
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:25.119
boosters and other people convincing Ray Anderson. He created a close relationship with Michael

490
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:29.039
Crow. I mean, if we're
letter grading it, it's it's like a

491
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:31.759
D plus at best. It's probably
an F. It just depends on,

492
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:36.240
you know, if you how bad
you feel for the guy. But he

493
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.680
made a lot of money. Like
you said, he had a long term

494
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:43.200
job and in a profession that it's
not easy to do. But I don't

495
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:45.599
think he fair and and by the
way, the biggest indictment of Ray Anderson.

496
00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:52.079
He alienated a massive portion of the
Sun Devil alumni base. I mean

497
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.079
he alienated his base, which is
rule number one that you can't do as

498
00:32:55.079 --> 00:33:01.079
an ad Absolutely. And how about
Anial Pierce landing in the NFL job come

499
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:05.799
on after what he did, and
then Herman is still on the ESPN.

500
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:08.000
You know, it's so crazy.
He's like Antonio Pierce is a U of

501
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:12.359
a guy, Like he's a UFA
guy. And I know everyone LinkedIn as

502
00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.960
you, but I don't know how
much jet Fish's future has come up on

503
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:21.519
your show. I think obviously with
Michigan State and Mississippi State and perhaps Florida,

504
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:24.440
which would I think be the biggest
threat to Jetfish. If you're just

505
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:29.480
in con perpetual panic mode as an
Arizona football fan like most of us are,

506
00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.720
you're like, all right, what's
the short list for jetfish replacement?

507
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:36.920
Then I'd be willing to let bygones
be bygones with his ASU tenure here,

508
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:38.799
and I know he put them into
hot water, but you could do worse.

509
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.160
Yeah, he probably couldn't do that
much worse than Antonio. It's just

510
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.319
stunning to the guy, like I
think he's the one that's disconnected from Arizona

511
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.480
because didn't you tell me? Right? He said, I don't want no

512
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.079
part of it. Right. He
was unhappy with Arizona after after he left,

513
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.799
So yeah, uh, because he
had some issues with John mcovic,

514
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.400
who was his head coachairs it didn't
ask Fish to his press conference about his

515
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:06.920
I know, the dumb question.
Ask No, it wasn't, but he

516
00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.480
did it get asked. It wasn't
a dumb question, and I asked.

517
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:15.199
He said, we're focusing on Utah. Yeah, well that's what I meant.

518
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:16.960
I mean, it's a good question
to ask because that's what people want

519
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:20.280
to hear. But you know,
the coach isn't gonna give you anything,

520
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:22.880
but you gotta ask it anyway,
exactly he said. He said that that's

521
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.159
what happens when you're doing a good
job. But we're focused on Utah.

522
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.880
That was the end. Well,
you know, the same thing at Arizona

523
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.360
is happening today is U is they're
trying to play ketchup in the NIL world

524
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:38.480
and they don't have this huge bank
account of dollars pay players like their professional

525
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:45.239
athletes, and both Kenny Dillingham and
Jet Fish are looking for different reasons to

526
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:49.639
bolster that income, and man,
that's tough. That's tough, okay,

527
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.280
And I you real quick. I
use the word only in that it's not

528
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.119
only, but he's only getting paid
two and a half million a year.

529
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:59.880
Yeah, well, I mean,
you know again, I didn't go into

530
00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:02.840
the nitty gritty on that report about
Arizona's financial the whole university, but if

531
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:08.239
somebody wants to triple Jetfish's salary,
I don't know that Arizona's athletic department is

532
00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:14.559
in the position to match it.
One last question, you being a UA

533
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.519
grad, how was the weekend for
you? Man? It was so fun?

534
00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:22.519
Dude, I I I du Beating
Duke is just there's nothing better for

535
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:28.320
me. And it doesn't erase the
sting of the two thousand and one championship

536
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:30.920
game, but every little win helps. And then you know, I expected

537
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:36.719
Colorado to fight and I bet them
to cover the ten. But it's nice

538
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:40.559
to see Arizona win. Only only
Utah's coming only one point favorites on Saturday.

539
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:45.119
That's so Arizona. It flipped.
It flipped. Yeah, it's oh

540
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:51.320
wow, yeah, okay, Arizona's
favorite. No fall. Oh man,

541
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:54.599
that game. That game is absolutely
asinine. That it's on the PAC twelve

542
00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:59.559
network. If I'm Jetfish, I
know they're moving to the Big twelve,

543
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:01.719
but that game being on the PAC
twelve network at twelve thirty with a reason

544
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:06.800
for me to take every incoming phone
call from at the university. There you

545
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.559
have it, Thank you, Jody, Thanks Jarny always great, appreciate it.

546
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:13.360
Well, he covered all the bases, he did. He got them

547
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:15.880
all man got them all in really
and I agree with every port that he's

548
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:19.639
made. Yeah, you know,
he was very spot on, spot on.

549
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.599
Okay, we could do it show. Yeah, right, we need

550
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:24.119

have the voice. All right, we'll

Did you celebrate like everybody else?
The weekend, the weekend, the winds,

612
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:57.159
the wins. Yeah, you know, yeah, you know I had

613
00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:59.239
a great time. You know,
I had a couple of nights dinners in

614
00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:01.800
Vegas. We have we have fun. It was you know, it's a

615
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:06.440
fun weekend. You know, walking
with the chin a little higher, wasn't

616
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.960
you know? It wasn't embarrassed to
wear my Arizona gear. About that?

617
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:13.920
About that two hundred and forty million
dollars yeah, there is that, but

618
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:16.760
you know, you know, I
did have people say, hey, nice,

619
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:20.320
nice win against Duke and stuff like
that. Yeah, here's the problem.

620
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:24.079
And because you Arizona's sports programs,
I've never really been affected outside of

621
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:27.719
memory. They had the fire or
they let go a lot of jobs back

622
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.960
in the day a long time ago, and I'm sure that could happen too.

623
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:35.039
But the sports they just added travel, They just added yeah, yeah,

624
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:37.639
yeah. I don't know what they're
gonna do. It's tough. I

625
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:39.079
don't know what they're gonna do.
A long way for finding out, though.

626
00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:43.679
We have a caller. Hi,
you're on the air and I on

627
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.360
the ball. Hey, this is
Bell, Hey Bell, what's up?

628
00:41:47.199 --> 00:41:51.480
Hey? Usually I called the bag
on you J because you're either the kiss

629
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.239
of death or it's about beat l
A. But I got to call Steve

630
00:41:54.320 --> 00:42:00.199
on the carpet this time. Okay, all preseason this year, people are

631
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:04.440
calling and saying we're gonna win six, seven, eight, nine games,

632
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:07.639
and Steve would laugh at him and
say why, and they'd say, because

633
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:09.800
we're getting better, and he'd say
every other team is getting better also,

634
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.920
But here we are seven and three. How come you the listener that listens.

635
00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:21.880
Well, well, usually day usually
opens that door for me to for

636
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:24.079
me to get on him. But
if you walk right into it this time,

637
00:42:24.199 --> 00:42:29.000
you're You're right. I've said a
couple of times this last two weeks

638
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:30.519
that I've been I was wrong.
I was totally wrong. The thing about

639
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:35.199
it is, who would have predicted
this? Jigs? Sure? Absolutely,

640
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:37.119
you know I'm not alone. I
just said it publicly on the show.

641
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:42.960
Yeah, well it was. It
was a it was a great weekend,

642
00:42:43.000 --> 00:42:46.079
and I'm glad you got to experience
Cameron indoor during the game. So yeah,

643
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:49.559
that was cool. It was a
lot of fun. As crazy as

644
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.280
you think it is, that's pretty
much right, Okay, Bill, I

645
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:55.840
said eighty five percent that they'd win
ten games. Where do you think we're

646
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.800
at now? Well, I thought
you were crazy for saying that, you

647
00:42:59.880 --> 00:43:05.400
know, but uh, it's definitely
possible, I mean definitely possibly if we

648
00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:07.079
get through this one. You know. But I'm I'm like you, Jay,

649
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:12.159
I've I've seen so many disappointments and
had so many heartbreaks that, uh,

650
00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.639
I'm worried about this weekend getting right
right, You're waiting for it to

651
00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:19.159
crumble, like I am, absolutely, But like I said, do you

652
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:22.440
believe in destiny. Some maybe this
is the year that kind of changes,

653
00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:25.880
if only for a year. Enjoy
the moment. Yeah, exactly. You

654
00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:29.599
know what I'm thinking about now is
now we're getting so good, and now

655
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:30.719
we're not gonna have to be able
to have the money to pay our coach

656
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:36.440
and keep them here. So then
there's that it's always dooming gloom. There's

657
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:39.400
something, man, every time when
you're in Arizona, there's always something.

658
00:43:39.559 --> 00:43:45.079
So by the way, oh by
the way, exactly, all right,

659
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:49.960
Bill, thank you, thanks for
Bill. All right, thanks for literally

660
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:57.280

great weekend for you guys, because it

661
00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:00.159
was it just was it just was, you know, I mean, yeah

662
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:04.360
we were. Was it tense during
the during the Colorado game? Of course

663
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:08.000
it was because that game was was
never a win. And do you see

664
00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:12.760
the stat Arizona never led the game. You know, I have the game.

665

698
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:43.639
to see you. I'm always gonna
be I'm always gonna be grumpy. He's

699
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:45.559
funny, funny. I was gonna
say, oh, okay, So in

700
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:51.000
the post game for for and I
hope I get this right. For Sanders,

701
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:53.199
he said early just in his opening
says, I thought we were the

702
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:58.039
better team, and there were some
people that said, well, no,

703
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:01.599
not really, they were for they
weren't for fifty games. Yeah, how

704
00:47:01.639 --> 00:47:05.159
could you? How could people not
deny that, oh game? You know,

705
00:47:05.320 --> 00:47:07.679
No, no, they weren't.
They you know, and sometimes you

706
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.920
are on that day you know they're
not the better team US season usc right,

707
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.800
I thought we thought Arizona was the
better team. That exact exactly right.

708
00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:16.960
So, you know, and I
think Stanford thought they was a better

709
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:20.760
team when they played Arizona. But
Arizona found a way to win. And

710
00:47:20.840 --> 00:47:22.599
so in the end, you know, what a what a good team is

711
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:25.760
supposed to do is on a day
that they don't play their best, they

712
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:30.639
still find a way to win a
game. So you'll give them that argue.

713
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:31.760
When I heard that, I said, okay, that's fine. But

714
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:35.599
people just said, no, you
didn't win. Well, you can still

715
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:37.239
play well and not win. I
was pulling my hair out because every time

716
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.000
Arizona had a chance to get off
the field, third and eight, third

717
00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:44.840
and twelve, whatever, Georg Sanders
was running for a first down. It

718
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:47.639
was crazy. It was very frustrating
to watch that. The call it was,

719
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:52.360
I you're on the AARONI on the
ball? Well you do? I'd

720
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:57.199
call in today. Okay, what's
up, Jem. We can hear you

721
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:05.119
better too. Great. I know
we're in fantasyland because we've got Steve talking

722
00:48:05.159 --> 00:48:12.800
about destiny. Now it was destiny
that you're gonna call. Yeah, So

723
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:19.079
I'm gonna tell you what I see. I see the field of play getting

724
00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:27.079
smaller and smaller for Arizona opponent.
The defense is looking at a smaller field

725
00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:37.719
to play because they're getting trapped in
that twenty twenty zone. Anyway. You

726
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:45.960
know, at the end of the
game on Saturday, we had Tamac catching

727
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:52.360
swing passes behind the line of scrimmage
in order to get five yards six yards,

728
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:59.639
and they're gonna have to figure out
some way to stretch the field both

729
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:07.679
vertically and latitudinally in order to loosen
up this defense. This defense allows eighty

730
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:14.159
five yards a game rushing, and
that's going to be about So so let

731
00:49:14.199 --> 00:49:15.039
me ask you a quick question,
because I didn't watch the game. I

732
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:21.239
was en route. So when when
Fafina didn't have a good game, what

733
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:22.760
were you thinking? What you were
thinking the week before that? If he

734
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:27.079
didn't have a good time, I'm
with you. I mean, a guy

735
00:49:27.159 --> 00:49:31.960
can have a half or a game
like that. I'm not ready. You

736
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:36.039
know, I'm not ready to pull
him out of a game because he's you

737
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:39.320
know, a little bit off to
start the game. Okay, what I

738
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:45.480
see that, What I see that's
more perilous is the field of play is

739
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:51.639
starting to shrink for the opposing defense. We're not stretching him out. We're

740
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:57.400
not stretching him out with our runs
and they're all inside. So we're going

741
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.679
to have to introduce speed and to
the end of the game this week or

742
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:04.480
we're not gonna win. Well,
but what I'm gonna say to that Jim

743
00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:07.440
is that Fefida hasn't been that guy
all season. He's been the guy who

744
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:10.679
plays more under control, doesn't go
doesn't go for the deep thing every time,

745
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:14.960
which is the difference between him and
Jayden. But Jayden was you know,

746
00:50:15.039 --> 00:50:17.840
high risk, high reward. You
know, Faida is more controlled,

747
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:22.159
throws the short patterns, takes what
they give you. I'm sorry, it's

748
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:27.000
been working there. You know they're
Utah Utah is not gonna give you that.

749
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:32.119
And I will say this day in
response, the last four or five

750
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:39.760
teams they played weren't really as good
as advertised. Maybe Organs, maybe Oregon

751
00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:46.360
State is the real deal, but
U c l A was pathetic, Washington

752
00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:52.119
State was not good, and so
far on down the line. I mean,

753
00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:59.000
they've played teams that look good on
paper, but they didn't perform on

754
00:50:59.119 --> 00:51:04.719
the field, and they didn't they
didn't they challenging. Well, my dad,

755
00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:07.599
I'm gonna go Devil's advocate on.
They were pretty all of them were

756
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:09.400
playing pretty damn good when Arizona played
them all and they and they were all

757
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:15.960
ranked and Arizona beat them all.
So I already against Washington State. I

758
00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:20.920
understand the scores, Jim, But
what I'm saying is at that time,

759
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:24.920
Washington State was playing really damn well
and they weren't playing that well. Today

760
00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:29.440
they played U of A that And
why is that? Was that because of

761
00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:31.960
the U of A or because they
were bad? We don't because they weren't

762
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:37.440
that they weren't that good, all
right, And that's when the rest of

763
00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:40.199
the season you've been hanging out with
Steve too much. Thank you, Jim,

764
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:45.079
all right, Jeff, thanks a
bunch. We'll talk to you later.

765
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:51.480
You've turned Jim into Debbie Downer Man. No, sorry, Jim,

766
00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:55.360
Jim was already Debbie. All right. That was that was a fun day.

767
00:51:55.400 --> 00:51:59.119
Good stuff to talk about all week. Never got around to Michigan and

768
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:04.639
they're he mentioned, well, I'm
talking about the poopy way they've been handling

769
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:08.639
this. But we'll get and we'll
get to this tomorrow. But uh uh,

770
00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:10.960
it's a it's gonna be a fun
week. You got you talk coming

771
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:15.840

roll, you know, they've been playing

773
00:52:17.840 --> 00:52:21.440

that shakes out. So be sure to

774

775
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:50.000

776
00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:54.679
of street. Are you ready?
