This is I on the Balls on Fox Sports fourteen 6 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.600 fifty. I do some some interesting stuff going on today, but I want 7 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.359 to start with this. I want to I want to look. I'm I'm 8 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.640 that guy that when somebody gets a lot of attention and is, you know, 9 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:39.880 kind of way up there, I'm like, Okay, I'm ready for 10 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.039 the upset to happen. Right. I was rooting for Colorado State on Saturday, 11 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.799 you know, And I don't know why I'm like that. I'm just 12 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.920 always rooting for the underdog. And so, you know, the game happened, 13 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.159 double overtime, Colorado wins the game. You gotta give it up for 14 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.079 them for doing what they did to come back and win the game. But 15 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.479 in the course of that and course of the game, there was that hit 16 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.399 on track A hunter knocked out of the game. He's gonna miss three or 17 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.719 four weeks last rated Deliver. We talked about that yesterday. So today or 18 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.680 or maybe it was yesterday in his press conference, Deon Sanders comes out or 19 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.840 I think once today comes out, he does. Look, the hit happened. 20 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.480 We forgive him. He's a good player, he played hard. You 21 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.719 know it was an unfortunate hit. You know he got a fifteen our penalty 22 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.200 four. Come on, you know he's getting death threats. You know, 23 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:32.799 son jackass posted his phone number and his family's address on social media so that 24 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.760 people can do whatever they're gonna do. All that stuff. And we've talked 25 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.760 about this before. Casey's scouring that the UFA kicker who got death threats after 26 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.359 missing a game winning field goal against the USC in the twenty fourteen season, 27 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.480 or maybe it's a game time field or whatever. You know that these things 28 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.359 happen, and it's stupid. It's the stupidest thing you could possibly do. 29 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.640 Dion went in and said, I just hope it wasn't our fans. Well, 30 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.519 of course it was your fans. Well it wasn't Colorado States fans, 31 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.640 right, it wasn't the Arizona fans, It wasn't anybody else. It was 32 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:07.040 your fans and and everybody's got those fans. We've seen him. Uh but 33 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.000 you know, give it up for Dion for just trying to defuse it a 34 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.520 little bit as much as he could, you know. But you know, 35 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.520 when you gotta have guys like that said, we got people like that, 36 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.319 there's not anything you can say to him, most usually to say, you 37 00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.719 know, the guy who put his ad dress up isn't gonna say oops, 38 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:23.680 I'm sorry. I didn't need to do that, right, you know, 39 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:27.919 the guys whoever did that just an idiot. I don't to my point, 40 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.680 if it were happened to me and my sons or whatever, I'd go after 41 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:35.759 and I'd go after him if it was capable of doing it. Yeah, 42 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.400 I legally, yeah. I mean, at some point you gotta say enough 43 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.639 enough enough. That's pretty serious, sty, it's your stuff when people start 44 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.919 as you say, look and are those death threats real? Probably not, 45 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.439 I don't be stupid, but but what the hell are you doing? Right? 46 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.800 Right? Right? What the hell are you doing? So anyway, 47 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.479 and you never know if they're you never know, you do never know. 48 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.199 I mean, this this country is nuts and stuff like that. So so, 49 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.159 but you know, good good on for dion and for doing in his 50 00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.840 right. He was. He was very I saw most of it. You 51 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.879 heard me playing it as as we were preparing for the show. Very contrite, 52 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:16.080 very low. Sounded low key like he did. And it's funny how 53 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.960 he addresses the media because you know, I'm gonna meet you, good to 54 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.919 see you, gotah blah blah, you know whatever. Very cordial. But 55 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.639 that's just kind of well, he will see, we'll see. We'll see 56 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.520 Monday. Yeah, we'll see monday. How it goes. Maybe he wins 57 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.159 the game, who knows. Maybe you imagine if they win this game, 58 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.599 well, the media go back, Well they were twenty one earlier. I 59 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.520 think this will be different obviously, but uh, we'll see. Yeah. 60 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.159 But anyways, good good could be one of my picks. So I can't 61 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:53.080 see you what all right? Big news in baseball show you shoot a statement? 62 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:55.639 He had a he had a surgery this morning. They call her a 63 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:04.599 procedure. There was a statement made through through his his agent, and here's 64 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:09.360 here's the meat of it. It says that the ultimate plan, after deliberation, 65 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.039 show Hey, was to repair the tissue at hand and to reinforce the 66 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.360 healthy ligament in place. All addy viable tissue for the longevity of the album, 67 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.160 and this is a throwing arm. I expect full recovery and he'll be 68 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.839 ready to hit without any restrictions come opening the day of twenty twenty four, 69 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.600 and do both hit and pitch come twenty twenty five. So it sounds like 70 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.279 he's not pitching next year, which if you have Tommy John surgery today, 71 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.040 you're out for a year. You're not pitching. But then he'll be able 72 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.720 to hit, and then he'll be able to pitch back in twenty twenty five. 73 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.639 Now, let's understand that a part of this is he's in a contract. 74 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.560 He's a free agent. You know, is somebody going to give him 75 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.600 the six hundred million dollars that he was certain to get had this not happened. 76 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.759 That's gonna be interesting to see what happened. No, I get it, 77 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.160 I get it. Would you probably not? Right? Would I give 78 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.319 him the six hundred million? No? Which because his value? How much? 79 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.800 How much would you give four hundred fifty? Because he's he he there's 80 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.040 there's certain guys. I mean, if there's certain guys, you'd pay and 81 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:14.839 you have maybe to go pay to watch right to see to get their joy. 82 00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.000 You know that guy, Uh probably Steph Lebron. Yeah yeah, football 83 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:25.040 wise, it's hard to do it football wise because because it Mookie Bets Mahomes, 84 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.279 Mahomes a guy like Mookie Bets or you know some of those guys you 85 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:32.279 know back in the day. Uh, you know the last real big guy 86 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:38.680 was Noel Ryan for me back in Texas. Yeah, but that's that's I'm 87 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:44.920 a cheap bastor too. You hate sports? Sports? What I get open 88 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.600 my watch to play? You know, you know Michael Jordan, right, 89 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:58.240 obviously you know COVID right of course. Anyway, so you know I'm boy. 90 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.560 Okay, first more problem, Right, do I get a four hundred 91 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.879 million dollars contract or a six hundred million dollar contract? Right? But I'm 92 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.160 fascinated to see how he how he's valued if all he can do is hit 93 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.639 well for a year, maybe for one year. But you know, but 94 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.680 this is his second, his second Tommy Johnson, Okay, okay, he's 95 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.519 had one before. How's he gonna come on? Who he is? Who 96 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.399 he is, generational player? He is who he is? Yeah, So 97 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.879 anyways, okay, get oh, let me another serious one. Let me 98 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.720 get back to this. So some more back and forth going on on this 99 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:39.480 mouth Tucker issue of Michigan State. Michigan State has sent him notification that they 100 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:44.360 intend to fire him. It's a whatever process. It's outlined in his contracts 101 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.680 saying they're gonna fire him for cose, meaning it's gonna cost him about eighty 102 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:54.319 million dollars if that's what's on the contract. He's thrown back that, uh, 103 00:06:54.680 --> 00:07:00.000 it's not about his his relate, his private relationship, consensual private relations 104 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.279 ship that he had with another adult. As he said that, he says, 105 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.959 a cursory reading of the facts of time mind because any fair minded person 106 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.360 to conclude that other motives are at play. Basically, they don't want to 107 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.319 pay him the contract. He threw the race card out a few days ago. 108 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.199 But uh, you know what, in the end, and there was 109 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:20.839 a really a really good article about all of this in The Athletic today. 110 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.680 In the end, he was stupid. Yeah, I mean you could have 111 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.480 stupid. Stupid, you could have started an end of that story right like 112 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.800 that. Right, he was stupid. He put he put himself in this 113 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.639 position, whatever the outcome is, he put himself in this position. He 114 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.800 didn't have to be in this position, and he did, and he didn't. 115 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.519 He thought with a certain part of his body that a lot of a 116 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.519 lot of us are accused him thinking with. And now he's in you know, 117 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.560 he's in this situation. Yeah, yeah, just an unfortunate situation for 118 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.560 him in a school that's already kind of been on the alert, right right, 119 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.920 after all that's been out there. And that's part of it too. 120 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.279 I'm sure that's a big piece of it. Is Michigan State wants to you 121 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.680 know, they're trying to clean all this out, the reputation. How they 122 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.879 get this after all that with Larry Nasser, the gymnastics coach, and how 123 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.079 they get this. I mean, it's like, guys, if you're gonna 124 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.879 be here, you got to be extra cautious. I'm sure new clauses in 125 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:22.240 the in the contracts. Yeah right, any sex related controversy that's caused, 126 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:28.800 you're out of here. Get out of here. Sean McVay trying to uh, 127 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.399 trying to deflect, claims that he knew what the points Fred was tell 128 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.879 me about because I read it all the yesterday. Tell me tell me. 129 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.679 His quote was apparently there's a lot of people in Vegas or pissed off about 130 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.919 that decision to kick that field goal, right, he said, I clearly 131 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.399 was not aware of that stuff. Why why was he okay? He said? 132 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.879 He said that in the end, what they were trying to do was 133 00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:58.360 to get down there kick a field goal. That was a plan the whole 134 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.720 time. Get him playing, get close enough to kick a field goal, 135 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.360 with enough time to do an onside kick and hopefully get one play. He 136 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.720 said, with four seconds left. We didn't want to throw a hail Mary 137 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.360 where we could get our quarterback hurt. We wanted to, you know, 138 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.679 just run out there kick a field goal to have, you know, to 139 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.919 kind of get the work in of kicking a field goal in the game. 140 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.919 So they kicked the field They would have been just easy enough because it was 141 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:26.159 like five six take exactly exactly. Well, but what he said, but 142 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.679 he said, we wanted to kick the field goal because you know, it's 143 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.840 obvious, it's an opportunity to kick a field goal in a game last second, 144 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:39.240 you know, good. But there's a lot of people that's just it's 145 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.639 like some people won't take the knees and and you've been on the out side 146 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.039 of that, We're no go score, No, they take a knee and 147 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.519 then our family fan friendly or whatever the word is. You know, they 148 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.320 want to be nice. They don't want to team friendly. Speaking of that, 149 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.840 the Iowa game, right, okay, so I will so we don't 150 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:05.200 like. Yeah, you know the contract twenty five points a game for for 151 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.360 Kurt Ferrence's kid. He's offensive coording his contract. They got average twenty five 152 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.159 points a game. So Iowa is winning twenty four. Uh they're they're winning 153 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.799 thirty four to ten or something like that. All right, So they're up 154 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.879 twenty four point, but he's got thirty four points and they're going down at 155 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.360 the fifteen seconds left, they're inside the five yard line and they score instead 156 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.360 of taking a knee. People are saying, you know you did that. 157 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.399 You know, well the savior to savior, Well, the son's job, 158 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.759 Well, possibly they might need that. So I saw them the week before 159 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:37.720 because the TJ, right, he's the Iowa guys. I went to the 160 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.799 Iowa up party and it was a little different. So so we talked about 161 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.320 that, right, and they scored like twenty four is twenty four, right, 162 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.080 but guess who scored twenty twelve of those points? Yeah, defends right 163 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.559 rights, what the hell it doesn't, But say that it doesn't. The 164 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.200 contract doesn't say the offense has just scored twenty well, he better, but 165 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.759 the team has to average twenty five points, so they give him the extra 166 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:01.919 you know, they give them, they get the extra touchdowns. If people 167 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.240 were saying you obviously, you know, don't tell us that you weren't thinking 168 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.320 about that when you when you scored that extra touchdown. It's just it flipped 169 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.840 the spread. They weren't covering touchdown and they were covering it looks. It 170 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.799 looks bad. It doesn't it look bad. It looks really bad. Looks 171 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:28.320 There's so much going on with now, so much, all right, especially 172 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:33.720 especially at school, ja, especially at school where half the kids are damned 173 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:41.799 suspended because it kidd gambled, right, yeah, exactly exactly. Guys, 174 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.879 guys, guys, you got to be thinking about stuff, all right. 175 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:54.639 Uh. Michael Wiley got name name to the Weekly Paul Horney Award Honor Roll 176 00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:00.440 for his performance against against U tep So's He's uh, he's in the you 177 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.320 know, on the list of not finalists, but that it was not a 178 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.840 Player of the Week then it was. There was a number of players, 179 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.840 players that get you know, the on the quote unquote Honor Roll for the 180 00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.159 award, So Michael Wiley got that. And again, he does so many 181 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.720 things there's not except I mean he did in the SU game last year, 182 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.639 but he's never doesn't ever seem to be spectacle. But then you get to 183 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.279 the end of the game you realize all the things that he did catching the 184 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:31.039 ball, and statistically he's not gonna be as good because there's so many other 185 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.240 people running the ball. But he is your steady guy. He is your 186 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.440 steady guy. So I know watching you said you didn't watch games. I 187 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.000 watch some of them. Did you see the Nick Chubb injury. I didn't 188 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.559 want to see that. I didn't want to see it. I didn't see 189 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.799 it because they said, if you want to see it, you'll be grossed 190 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.960 out. Yeah, no, there it was. It was gross, but 191 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.559 they'll be There have been other ones like it and worse. But ESPN would 192 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:00.080 not show the replay the replay, and there's a lot of people saying you 193 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.559 needed to show it once because of its news value. And then if you 194 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.039 and you would say here it comes, look away. If these kinds of 195 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.720 things bother, you show it and then don't show it anything. Well, 196 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.279 I think he said if you care to watch it. We're not gonna show 197 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.440 it here. Good the internet, right, which it's all over the internet. 198 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.279 It's bad. But he was not that much in pain. Whether that 199 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.480 I saw because I was in shock is what it would maybe because he was 200 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.200 not what I saw. He was just still kind of getting ready to get 201 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.039 up or picked up or whatever. Yeah, that's it's a brutal sport. 202 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:41.440 It's a brutal sport. So u Tom Brady, he got asked, got 203 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.399 asked. He does a podcast with Jim Gray, and Jim Gray asked him 204 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.679 if you know if the Jets called or you you know, because with Aaron 205 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:50.960 Rodgers out, you know, if the Jets called, hi, would you 206 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.480 go back? And he said no, no, no, next question, 207 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.240 Tom Brady is not coming back at least not now for sure. The Jet's 208 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:03.519 gonna go with Zach Wilson. Good luck for that because they can move the 209 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.120 ball. You can move the ball. They didn't do so well. Yeah, 210 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:15.120 Keepernick still build, some would say, and then where's the red rifle? 211 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.799 No other thing's funny with it. I don't know. I don't know 212 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.559 if he because not a Cincinnati anyways, that New York either. All right, 213 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.519 that's about it.

Thanks for joining 303 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:08.960 us so much to talk to you about Albuquerque the Cats. I was curious 304 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.440 when you come back here because it's been a while since you coached here. 305 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.400 Just a landscape and and the things that have happened here since you were since 306 00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.720 you've been gone from the University of Arizona, your thoughts on that, and 307 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.240 you know that was a long time ago. And I was the eventeen seventy 308 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.119 eight and seventy nine. You know, I grew up in Pittsburgh, as 309 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:36.279 did my wife. You know we were married in two songs oh downtown at 310 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:41.200 the courthouse just as of a piece on a Tuesday morning in nineteen seventy eight, 311 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:47.279 in June. So how many years is that? Forty five or forty 312 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:52.640 six? I'm embarrassed to say forty five forty five, but you know, 313 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.839 we we we always you know, we as I said, we were from 314 00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.519 Pittsburgh, we fell in love with the desert, always wanted to get back 315 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:07.240 there, and actually vacation back in Arizona a lot as I was coaching and 316 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.839 as I was with ESPN. But we when I when I left Motor Dame 317 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:17.279 and went to ESPN, we bought a home in North Scottsdale that we've had 318 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:22.119 for about twenty years now. And even when I was at un M for 319 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.759 eight years, you know, we kept at home in Scottsdale. So I've 320 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.680 kind of gradually watched Tucson change. You know, it wasn't like I was 321 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:37.000 gone from seeing it for a long time. So you know, it reminds 322 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:44.359 me a little bit of Albuquerque, quite honestly. You know, the PAC 323 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:51.519 twelve money has obviously changed and upgraded the facilities because they've had all across the 324 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.000 conference, so it still has a neat, kind of smaller town field to 325 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.839 me, and you know, I love it. You know, I love 326 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.079 Tucson. So you got to come back and call the game here. I 327 00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.279 you know, as you said, you did that a bunch for ESPN. 328 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:14.319 I'd remember watching an Arizona State the Arizona game that you did with your son, 329 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:15.559 you know, in the game and stuff like that. So you've had 330 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.960 a lot of a lot of those kinds of nights. But you know, 331 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.720 coming back here and watching the program after the dark period that it went through 332 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.799 and seen what's going on here at Arizona now, just some of your thoughts 333 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.200 of what you feel like you saw on Saturday night. You know, first 334 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:36.680 of all, it's not an easy job, obviously, you know, I 335 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:41.240 think Jed Fish has done a remarkable job. I was taking an advantage of 336 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:51.039 the new transfer portal and has rebuilt that roster amazingly well in the last two 337 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:53.440 years. You know, from where they were when he first took over, 338 00:23:55.319 --> 00:24:00.680 from from just a talent and depth standpoint to where they are now is really 339 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:06.480 remarkable. And I think he has some really good recruiters on his staff, 340 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.240 particularly Johnny Manson, and you know, I don't want to leave anybody's name 341 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.799 out, but guys that have tremendous relationships, particularly on the West Coast, 342 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.799 and they've taken advantage of that, and I think they are really an entertaining 343 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:25.720 football team to watch. I think they'll be right in the middle of the 344 00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:32.519 Pac twelve race the big asterick as you saw last Monday night with the Jets 345 00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:37.200 and Aaron Rodgers and you saw last night with Nick Chubb. You know, 346 00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:41.759 can they stay healthy, particularly at quarterback. If they can, I think 347 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:44.279 they'll be right in the middle of it. So you bring up the quarterback, 348 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:47.640 let me talk to you, but just him specifically. So you have 349 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:49.319 a quarterback and I don't know if you had many of these type of guys. 350 00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:53.359 Where do you love their enthusiasm, You love their courage, you love 351 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:59.400 their confidence, that's the positive. The negative you hate their confidence. Hate 352 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.240 here's because you don't know which player you're going to get and he's going to 353 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:08.160 take chances. Yeah, he's a dilemma. He definitely has an instinct to 354 00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.920 improvise. You know, he's one of the best improvisers I've seen. I 355 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.920 kind of reminds me of Johnny Manziel actually, or in Manziel with at Texas 356 00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.759 A and M. The difficult thing for the defenses and I said this on 357 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:27.319 air Saturday nights. You have to defend two plays every time he drops back 358 00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:33.279 the pass right, the first one that Jedfish called in more dangerous, the 359 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:38.720 one that he improvises to and creates on his own and he's just a nightmare 360 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:44.599 for defenses, and you know, I love watching him play. You do 361 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:48.279 have to. He's going to turn it over at times because he is the 362 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:56.319 prototype gunslinger. But with his supporting cast and the different kind of receivers they 363 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.400 have, many they are they are fun to watch. So yeah, I 364 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.480 mean it's gonna be some heartache in there, but there's a lot more positive 365 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.920 plays than our own negative, right. You know. The PAC twelve is 366 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.920 it's been there's been a lot of talk about how good this league is. 367 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:17.000 You know, you've got eight teams ranked you know, a couple them in 368 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:21.079 the top ten. I mean, just talk about the grind of a conference 369 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.599 like that. You know, you you know you you're you're a notre dame 370 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.400 where you know, the schedule is always, you know, a huge challenge 371 00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:32.359 with good teams weekend and week out. Talk about the grind of going through 372 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:36.720 something like that with a coach where every game is you know, is up 373 00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:40.519 in the air on both sides. Yeah, I think it's the best way 374 00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:44.599 to look at it. Like if you look at their schedule, you know, 375 00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:47.720 once they get past Stanford, which stands which is not very good, 376 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:52.599 I mean, that's a complete rebuilding job. Washington at home. Then you 377 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:59.279 go at USC. Okay, both those games are gonna be right lights, 378 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.319 enthusiasm, you know, highs, the highs. Then the ones I look 379 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:10.880 at are like at Washington State after USC, who's really a good team, 380 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.400 But you go up there to Pullman, you know, they're probably twenty one 381 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.720 thousand people there. Then you come home and play Oregon State, who's, 382 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.440 you know, again, really really a good team. Look the Washington's, 383 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:29.000 the USC's, the UCLA's, they kind of take care of themselves in some 384 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:33.160 ways. You know, it's those games at Washington State, Oregon State at 385 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:38.319 home, those are the ones that make me nervous. So you just said 386 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:45.160 it. Now every team after Stanford probably with the exception of the last game 387 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.079 of Arizona State, and that's a rivalry game, obviously, you guys know 388 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.680 better than me those other games in there. I mean, that's a gauntlet. 389 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:59.519 So but they do have the roster, they do have an improved defense 390 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:03.759 as far his talent and depth, they have plenty of explosiveness on offense. 391 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.480 They've got a good kicker. They're going to be fun to watch and it's 392 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.880 going to be very competitive. So I'm sure you've had a player or two 393 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:15.599 or ten of these guys, But what are your thoughts on McMillan and how 394 00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:19.480 did you call the catch that he had. You don't have to stay much. 395 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:25.759 I think that one's freakish. You know, just the length of his 396 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.200 arm on the replay. You know, it's psyche double jointed, like his 397 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.559 arm came out of his shoulder. They compliment each other so well, right 398 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:41.680 McMillan the big, tall receiver cowing the guy in the slot, and then 399 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.119 Wiley coming out of the backfield, and then the tight own's good. So 400 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:49.480 they you know, McMillan's kind of an under the radar guy nationally. I 401 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.920 think by the end of the season, everyone in the country is going to 402 00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:59.839 know about him Cowing everybody knows about on the West Coast because of what he 403 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.559 did coming in last year against shoots Up. You know, it all comes 404 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:11.640 down to Delora's staying healthy and Delora's decision making because you know there's gonna be 405 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.799 those big time, big time moments against the good teams where his decision is 406 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:22.920 going to have to be spot on. Yeah, Steve and I've been debating 407 00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:27.640 this h since the preseason Washington or USC. Steve likes USC to win the 408 00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:32.960 league. I like Washington. I'm a big fan of Michael Michael Panos. 409 00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.640 I'm I don't know if you are to say he's better than Caleb Williams, 410 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.160 but he's certainly in the same neighborhood as Caleb Williams. I like him a 411 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.839 lot. Compare those two teams. What are your thoughts on those two teams? 412 00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.640 Hard for me to say, You know, it's hard for me to 413 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:56.160 bet against USC, just because of the overall explosiveness, particularly in the kicking 414 00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.839 game now with the young freshman back there who looks like Reggie Bush returning kicks, 415 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:06.559 right, I don't know, you know, USC goes to Notre Dame. 416 00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:11.839 I don't know. It's hard for me to say. I don't know 417 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:17.319 exactly how many years you've been out of coaching, But as I joked with 418 00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.519 Jim Ivan Good earlier, I'm sure he's happy to be retired. Given the 419 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:25.839 NIL, given all the craziness that's going on, the transfer portal and all 420 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.359 that. Can you put a grasp on what's going on today? You know, 421 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:34.240 it's everything that you deal with and adapt and I've been out three years. 422 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:42.119 This is my third season, you adapt as a coach, but I'm 423 00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:49.480 glad I'm retired. You know, the transfer portal thing of just guys coming 424 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:56.720 and going the nil deal that you know, obviously players deserve to get something, 425 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:02.759 and I think them as spake. It was made was we let these 426 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:08.960 coaching salaries just explode, just go completely crazy with paying coaches because of the 427 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:17.799 TV contract money and these Power five conferences and the gap of what coaches were 428 00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:22.799 getting paid and then the players getting nothing. Then the player thing just exploded. 429 00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:27.680 You know, I wish we would have eased into this thing with more 430 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:33.119 of a common sense approach. You know, coaches don't need to make millions 431 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.079 of dollars, and players, certainly in college, don't need to be paid 432 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:44.079 billions of dollars to a scale down, more common sense version. But when 433 00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:48.920 you let the thing explode and you spend all this money on facilities and you're 434 00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:56.319 building these just ridiculous facilities and you're paying coaches this amount of money, well 435 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.759 then the players the gap was just too ridiculously big. So it's out of 436 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:06.079 control. It is out of control. I don't think it's really sustainable. 437 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.559 Thank God for these TV contracts, But where is that him, you know, 438 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:16.680 with the things happening at ESPN, it's it's it's scary to me, 439 00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:21.799 it really is. But with that said, you guys know it, no 440 00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.759 matter how the player got there, when they put that helmet on, when 441 00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.119 they put that wildcat helmet off, people are gonna show up and they're gonna 442 00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.799 cheer. And college football is still the greatest thing going in the greatest brand 443 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:38.960 out there. But the foundation of foundation of it makes me a little bit 444 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:43.119 nervous. Yeah, no, it's it is scary when you when you see 445 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.359 what could happen, right or you just hope for the best. So when 446 00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.960 a big game a lot of big games this weekend, one of the big 447 00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:53.000 ones that arguably the best game of the weekend, or how State and Order 448 00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:57.279 Dame. You were part of the Order Dame program as the head coach, 449 00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:00.960 and you have a lot of big games during to give and you're what's the 450 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:06.440 atmosphere going to be like this weekend in South Bend, particularly at night, 451 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:12.480 and Notre Dame being a really good team, it'll be off the charts, 452 00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.200 you know, it'll be off the charts. And you know, we played 453 00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:20.759 Ohio State twice when I was at Notre Dame. The Michigan game, the 454 00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:25.599 Ohio State game, the USC game, those are traditional and this one's a 455 00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:30.000 backyard rivalry. I mean, there's probably it's probably a four or five hour 456 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:36.519 drive to Columbus, maybe not even that. It'll be a tremendous atmosphere a 457 00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.000 Saturday United South band on national television. And Notre Dame is good. Notre 458 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:45.319 Dame is really really good in physical I think Notre Dame will beat them, 459 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.519 I really do. Notre Dame is a physical football team. But when you 460 00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:54.440 went into a game like that, how nervous were you versus excited? You 461 00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:59.640 know? What was the balance there of that heading into that kind of a 462 00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.559 game? As the head coach of Notre Dame, you know what I say. 463 00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:07.559 We we went to back to back Bowl games with the University of New 464 00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:13.880 Mexico in two thousand and fifteen and sixteen, and truthfully, there might have 465 00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:17.400 been twenty one thousand people in the stands in Albuquerque, But if we played 466 00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:22.679 a big game. From a coach's standpoint, it wasn't any different. I 467 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:28.280 mean, truthfully, I don't mean to minimize the vibe of what all the 468 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:31.440 Notre Dame thing is or the big games. But when you're in coaching and 469 00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:36.599 you're doing your thing, it can be it can be New Mexico boys, 470 00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:39.679 And that's no different than Notre Dame USC when you're coaching and being on the 471 00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:44.840 sidelines. And I think that's the great thing about this sport. You know, 472 00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:50.719 it's it's it's the same from a coaching standpoint. You know, obviously 473 00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.559 it sounds a little different reverberating in your ear on that this set. You 474 00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:59.280 know what a hundred thousand people sound like compared to twenty one thousand. But 475 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.039 it's just the joy you get out of it and the competitiveness that goes into 476 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.599 it and the rewards you get in the heartache you get from coaching. There 477 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.320 wasn't any different in New Mexico in the eight years I spent year as a 478 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.119 head coach than it was the eight years I spent it at Notre Dame. 479 00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.679 So I got two more for you, coach. You talk about in New 480 00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:21.639 Mexico. As you know, I'm from northern New Mexico, I guess, 481 00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:23.559 and I'm an eggy, so you can say whatever you want about the locos. 482 00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:27.880 I'm okay with that, but I missed. I'm sure you missed the 483 00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:31.639 food. You know what. Let me go first, say, New Mexico 484 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:36.920 State came into Albuquerque, New Mexico Saturday night, as you know, and 485 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.679 that's two in a row. Well, Doug Martin did a great job in 486 00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:43.840 Mexico State, because you know, that job's difficult. It's a place, 487 00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:47.000 as Jerry kill pardon me, it's a place where you go to get fired 488 00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:51.280 if you don't do well, you want get fired. You know, I 489 00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:53.880 was there eight years and after my fifth year, we had gone to back 490 00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:59.199 to back bowl games, won a Bowl game, won the most games in 491 00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:04.559 the history of Mexico football back to back years. And I chose to stay 492 00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:08.920 just because my family and where I was in my career later in life. 493 00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:15.079 Probably should have left, honestly, could have left, stayed, and then 494 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:17.840 three years later I'm fired. So I do think you're right about that. 495 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.280 I do think that that is probably what ends up being at the end of 496 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.280 the day, what happens at a lot of those places. You know, 497 00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:30.400 you tests an example that, right. But to answer your question, you're 498 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:36.719 a much better expert on food in Albuquerque. I'm a little bit of a 499 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.639 hermit, you know. I've been married forty five years and spent most of 500 00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:45.039 my free nights who were at home with my wife's cooking. So I'm not 501 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:47.639 going to give you the answer that you're looking for. It is there are 502 00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:53.360 some great, great places, and you know that Southwestern flavor to Albuquerque is 503 00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:57.760 pretty neat. Yeah, and last thing, okay, so tell me if 504 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.360 this story is true or not. You got to Arizona. You talked about 505 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:04.639 seventy eight seventy units. Were you one of the guys, if not, 506 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:08.480 the guy to bring Ricky Hunley here or to convince Ricky Hunley to play here? 507 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:15.039 You and maybe Rogie not so much. ROGI. It was myself and 508 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:19.079 Tony Mason, the head coach. Tonny Mason was a great recruiter, a 509 00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:24.000 great recruiter and a great person. And actually we found out about Ricky. 510 00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:29.599 There was a walk on player from Arizona named bobble and Camp that sent a 511 00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.280 letter that got to me, and because I was the East coast recruiter, 512 00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:38.039 I went back and started the relationship. But Ricky sell in love with the 513 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:42.079 Southwest, He fell in love with the desert. Thought he was going to 514 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.599 play baseball for Jerry Kendall. Although a lot of guys think they're going to 515 00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:47.360 play, but they're not quite that good to do it, because that's a 516 00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:51.360 big time baseball. But now, it was a lot of guys, but 517 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:55.840 it was really Tony Mason, who was a unique individual and a great football 518 00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:59.039 coach. Yeah, he said once he landed here, he said, he 519 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.679 called all the other school say I'm coming here, I'm staying. Yeah. 520 00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:06.559 You know, he was supposed to visit Ohio State yea, And there was 521 00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:10.440 a snowstorm in Columbus and he didn't want to fly in the snow. And 522 00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:14.920 then he had an aunt. It was a port with Chuka. So there 523 00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:17.960 were a lot of good things in play for us, but definitely Ricky Hunley 524 00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:21.400 putting you on m on the map, excuse me, putting you of a 525 00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.000 on the map the standpoint of defense, No, yack. You can argue 526 00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:29.159 that a lot of what's happened since the eighties year were because you guys were 527 00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:34.400 able to get you know, Ricky Hundley into Tucson. No, I've been 528 00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:36.880 here in my whole life and I saw that happen. And you know, 529 00:38:37.039 --> 00:38:39.119 that was the period of time where you felt the Arizona was as you said, 530 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.840 you know, Arizona is not to keep going. But Ari's first year 531 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:46.559 in the PAC ten then was nineteen seventy eight with Tony Mason. That was 532 00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:50.079 my first year on the staff. In seventy nine, we go to the 533 00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:55.079 Festa Bowl, if you remember, play Danny Marino in a thirteen seven game 534 00:38:55.239 --> 00:39:00.000 or something like that. And then in the spring, you know that unfortunate 535 00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.719 that thing came up with expense accounts and stuff, and that was the end 536 00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:07.920 of the Tony Mason era. But definitely there were some good players in the 537 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.000 program, and Larry Smith came in and took advantage of it and did a 538 00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:14.960 great job. Bob, thank you a bunch, thank you, a bunch 539 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:16.119 of you going to come back down here and do another game or you don't 540 00:39:16.159 --> 00:39:20.320 know yet, Well you got to invite me down so I can send in 541 00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:24.400 your a VP set at all the games.

You can't go to press conferences stuff. 647 00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:39.639 I don't know if he's credential has been pulled for the games or or what 648 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.440 so. Through the years, Jay, through the years, here, through 649 00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:45.159 the years here, and you've you've been a part of it, Like when 650 00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:50.400 Luke, if you ever say something bad, they're gonna take your credential away. 651 00:46:50.679 --> 00:46:52.119 And I'm thinking they're not gonna do that. They can't do that. 652 00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:55.559 But see they can bok Okay they can. Okay, they can. This 653 00:46:55.719 --> 00:47:00.239 is why because they make their own news. Okay, no, and that's 654 00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:04.519 fine, And that's fine. They still can pull the credential. You can 655 00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:07.880 still write from the couch, which many people to the game and criticize whichever 656 00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:13.239 way right, whichever way right, and you're not going to prevent that from 657 00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:15.039 happening. You're done, whether they create their own news or not. And 658 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.400 how bad does it look? How bad does it look on the institution? 659 00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:22.159 Right, And that's what people are saying, says us, You guys, 660 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:28.559 you're usus. What the hell are you worried about? Exactly? Because because 661 00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:34.360 what two guys were quoted about the situation was two players, they're getting ready 662 00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:37.519 to do a media session, right, two players are talking, they're talking 663 00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:40.599 this reporter, here's what they're talking about. And he reports that, which 664 00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:45.440 you generally don't do. No, fine, it's kind of off the sure, 665 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.840 it's sort of okay, So be pissed at him and go to him 666 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:51.119 and say, hey, don't do that this year. But you're going to 667 00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:54.400 cut their access off this unless depends what he said. What they said. 668 00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:58.760 Yeah, but the problem is the issue with that is that Steve, is 669 00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:00.960 that you know, the schools do their own news anyway. They put out 670 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:05.960 their own news. They're so sneezing they don't need the newspapers anymore. Sure, 671 00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:08.079 no, no, I get that one. The stuff that they put 672 00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:10.800 out isn't going to be as good as the news is. One. You 673 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:14.719 remember Jim Moore. Remember we talked to Jim Moore from Seattle on the Funny 674 00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:17.079 Guys when and he we talked about the story about him being in the hallway 675 00:48:17.119 --> 00:48:22.480 before Arizona played Wisconsin in Utah, and he was one to ask Lukee, 676 00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:25.039 did you guys overlook Wisconsin? And because he was in the hallway, right, 677 00:48:25.199 --> 00:48:29.119 guys, and he got the impression that there and they were and they 678 00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:34.440 were looking ahead to round two or three over Wisconsin because they were they were 679 00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:37.519 talking crap. And Luke got pissed, YadA, yadda. But you hear 680 00:48:37.639 --> 00:48:44.400 more stuff in the hallways so so often, right right? Is it usable? 681 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.199 I don't know, Jay, I don't know. Jay. Depends what 682 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:54.840 was written. Well, again, and look based on its face value. 683 00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:59.159 Okay, If if two guys are having a side conversation, you happen to 684 00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.079 be standing, they don't know you're standing there listening to it and then you 685 00:49:02.159 --> 00:49:07.519 report. That's okay. I agree with that, but I don't agree with 686 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:09.440 saying, well, we're gonna cut you off for two weeks. We're gonna 687 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:13.320 punish you for that. That's stupid. And he can still do his job 688 00:49:13.480 --> 00:49:15.960 just not covering the team. But that part of it is stupid. Well, 689 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:17.960 because again, you're usc You're way bigger than all of it. Of 690 00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:21.679 course, you know, right, you know, just going again and say 691 00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:23.280 that, you know what, we don't appreciate that. That was a stupid 692 00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:25.519 thing, dude. Don't don't do that. Don't do it anymore, right, 693 00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:29.480 right, right to say, well, oh we're gonna take away your 694 00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:31.880 privileges fight me, Yeah, you know exactly. Yeah, Yeah, I 695 00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:36.199 was gonna do something. But might he's a good thing. Well, look 696 00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:40.159 at look the Baltimore Orioles radio guy. He criticized in house about something that 697 00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:44.519 is in paper. Right, you know, we beat we're beating these guys 698 00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:47.199 more than than we had before. Oh you're fired, you're you're suspended for 699 00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:50.760 two weeks. Yeah. Well he was just stating the facts. And the 700 00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:55.440 woman who did the bills, yeah, I guess our open. Well, 701 00:49:55.599 --> 00:49:59.679 that's a little different because she was an employee. Well, she's the team. 702 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.199 We'll seem like the ball made and made a comment about one of the 703 00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:07.079 guys on the team. That's that one's a little bit. Everybody's so sensitive 704 00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:12.159 they are, well, they want to controls. They wanted to get it. 705 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:15.000 There's so many of these, whether it's an athletic department, a pro 706 00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:22.880 a pro franchise, they want to quote unquote control the narrative, control the 707 00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:24.840 narrative. I hear you. I think it looks more. I think it 708 00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:30.599 looks more petty than it does exactly. That's the That's the word stupid too, 709 00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:35.679 but petty petty's a more appropriate word.
