Ugly stuff coming out of out of Las Vegas where Chance Comanche 9 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:47.200 has been charged with a murder with a nineteen year old woman named Sakari Harndon. 10 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.119 Now we're we're finding out that. And as I not that I know 11 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.280 a lot of things, but when I read stuff from police reports, I 12 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.719 still have an understanding of it. Seemed to me that from the interview with 13 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.599 with the Chance Commanchee after they arrested him, that's how they determined that this 14 00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:07.640 woman had in fact been murdered and that they had Well, it comes out 15 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.760 today now that Comanche in uh when he's being interrogated by homicide detectives, he 16 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.799 did he told people that he did in fact kill this woman with with the 17 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.959 nineteen year old woman that they strangled her and then dump trebody in the ditch, 18 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.319 strangled her with an HDMI cord. Uh. The woman helped choke her 19 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.680 with her hands and they and they dropped her in the ditch in in Henderson, 20 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:41.120 which is that uh you know community right outside of Vegas. Yeah right, 21 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:42.599 how are you slim in that area? And it's all developed now, 22 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.040 it's not like Vegas of old time. Yeah, yeah, Anderson is a 23 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.159 is a bustling, bustling area. So he is apparently, you know, 24 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.879 admitted to having done this, you know. And and Steve, I you 25 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.519 know, I know, I know, I make a lot of jokes watching 26 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.079 Dateline, and you know, sure all these murders and things, and you 27 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.360 watch those things, and they're still so far, you know, a distance 28 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.280 from us, right, but you know, I mean we watched this kid, 29 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.520 you know, play a couple years of basketball talent. Yeah, you 30 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.879 come to Arizona, and and it's because somebody thinks highly of you, right, 31 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.759 and and you see these kids, and you know, not all of 32 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.719 them go on to great things, but most of them are decent kids that 33 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.520 go do decent things, whether it's in basketball or doing something else. Right. 34 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.039 You see, you got like Matt Mulebach. You know it was a 35 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.919 successful lawyer here in Tucson. You know, Corey Williams, you a successful 36 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.639 businessman here in Tucson.

Who didn't you 38 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.479 know, they didn't have that much of a day in the NBA, but 39 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:59.719 they still used what they did here to make themselves successful. And you see 40 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.840 a like chance to commands you go in this direction. Yeah, it's just 41 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.199 what would what would lead you to do this? That's the thing that sticks 42 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.520 to me. It's like at that moment that he wraps his cord around her 43 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.319 neck, Well, why did he think that was the thing we'll do at 44 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.159 that moment? Well, it's the priest and the right They planned. It 45 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:22.400 was a planned thing. You and I both watched Daylight pretty religiously, which 46 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.759 is sad, but we see this since why would why why are you thinking 47 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:30.639 this? I mean, what what draws you? How do you think this 48 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.400 is going to make your life? Better? Right? Right? Whatever issues 49 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.639 I've got in my life, this is what I need to do to make 50 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.840 it, to make it better, which is That's what I've never understood on 51 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.560 so much, so much of this twenty seven years old to with not an 52 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:50.439 NBA career, but a nice life. He's been playing basketball since he left 53 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:57.000 right right, So very sad, very tragic, tragic for the for the 54 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.520 victim. There is a go fundme page or her name is Marina Rogers m 55 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.960 A r A y n A Rogers. If you uh you know, you 56 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.800 know, as an Arizona fan feel compelled to go uh a contribute on her 57 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.360 GoFundMe page. I believe she's got a couple of kids or a daughter, 58 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.600 so there you go. I mean, just one of the most tragic things 59 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.879 that I think has ever come out of a out of out of the Chale 60 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:28.639 Center. So very awful. All right, let's move on, uh as 61 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.399 we're getting to a signing day tomorrow, a lot of portal action. USC 62 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:36.800 is just taking a beating in the portal. Ari Washerman. Washerman posted a 63 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:46.360 tweet that shows that USC in the last week or so is lost three five 64 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:51.160 star and two four star recruits. Recruits not recruits that were at USC. 65 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.680 Guys, we're at USC who jumped into the transfer portal, but three five 66 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.399 stars and two four stars, including that quarterback Malachi Nelson who was the all 67 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.639 everything, number one quarterback in the country that remember had been he'd committed to 68 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.920 Oklahoma with Lincoln Riley, and then when Lincoln Riley took the job at USC, 69 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.360 followed Lincoln Riley to USC. And now he's jumped into the into the 70 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.199 into the transfer port Domanie Jackson, another cornerback, five star cornerback, and 71 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.079 then a defensive end, Corey Free, Corey Foreman, with a couple of 72 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.680 another linebacker and running back. So just you guys spilling out of out of 73 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.319 the USC getting to that conversation that you and I were having about what's the 74 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.600 family atmosphere you know over at USC that sure the Arizona guy's talking about here 75 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.879 all the time. Sure, No. And the thing about it you don't 76 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.639 know until you know, because you think it's it's USC and Lincoln Riley and 77 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.079 all listen, it's to get there and oh what did I get myself into? 78 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.959 You know? And then there's you know, as as always, there's 79 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.279 all kinds of discussion, you know when these go out on social media. 80 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.839 So some guy coming to coming on to social media to try and defend h 81 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.199 Lincoln Riley saying, well, you know, USC didn't want these guys anyways, 82 00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.680 they weren't any good. So then somebody said, Okay, then if 83 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:08.120 they weren't any good, why did Lincoln Riley go get them? So either 84 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.079 he was bad here or he was bad here. In either case, Lincoln 85 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.600 Riley and his staff have done a poor job with these guys. Whether these 86 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.160 guys they couldn't keep these guys or if they really weren't that good, but 87 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:25.199 yet you know they coveted them and got them in. So well, either 88 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.800 the recruiting is bad or the coaching is bad, one of the two, 89 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.240 all right. Staying on the college side, Lane Kiffin got a contract extension 90 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:38.959 over at Mississippi. No no terms announced, that just said that they've given 91 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.800 him a contract contract extension. He's he's been at Mississippi for four years. 92 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.959 He's got a couple of ten win seasons, they're twenty one and two at 93 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:53.399 home during the time that he's, uh, he's been there. So we'll 94 00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.439 probably hear more about the contract, but I'm guessing it that's probably up in 95 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.800 the eight nine million dollar rage because that's that's what the SEC tends to pay 96 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:05.839 their coaches. All right, Steve, this was for you. Oh okay, 97 00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.000 for you who don't believe you, just believe you just you give crap 98 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:13.959 to all the bowl games. Oh, I don't I do what it is? 99 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.240 I don't you get the right Steve. I'm pretty sure I'm going Do 100 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.560 you think there's too haven't you said there's too many bowl games and nobody cares 101 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:25.079 about him? No, No, but that's true. I haven't said, 102 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:28.680 well that's not that's not true. Okay, because what what wait? Wait? 103 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.120 Wait, No, there's too many bowl games. No that it's not 104 00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.680 true that nobody cares about Oh no, I think people care about They do 105 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.000 care about it. No, but there's a lot of there's thirty six, 106 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:41.439 thirty eight, forty how many other I think there's No, I think there's 107 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.959 forty something. Oh god, it's eighty some teams. Yeah, you get 108 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.360 a trophy, You get a trophy, you get a bowl game. Anyways, 109 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:54.879 A Stewart Mandell reporting that the LA Bowl one of the lower level balls. 110 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.399 It was and it was u c l A. Boise State had basically 111 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.480 the identity TV audience to the North Carolina Kentucky basketball game that was on CBS, 112 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.920 so the same number of people watched the people cared, so people do 113 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.040 care people. And the Celebration Bowl, which is that HBCU Bowl game between 114 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.160 what I think it was, who was it? It was Florida A and 115 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:24.079 M and somebody. I can't remember who it was that that Actually there were 116 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:30.279 more people watching that game than the Kansas Indiana basketball. Wow. The noose 117 00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.200 A big game. Yeah. I went to the New Mexico Bols as many 118 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.919 people know. That place was packed. Of course, people needed to get 119 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.039 at a Las Crucis. Yeah, like they did when they drive up the 120 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.840 road. Man, thirty one thousand people packed on one side on the other 121 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.200 side as well. Yeah, so a lot of people went to see a 122 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.720 not so good game. Yeah. Yeah. You know you talked about Michael 123 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.759 lev who you know, Johnny on the Spot reporting from the press conference today 124 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.759 with some of you have a football players that tweeted out a little bit ago 125 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.960 them Michael Wiley, who was like in his eighth year at Arizona, he 126 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.039 decided he's gonna play in the Alimabile. He's not opting out. He's gonna 127 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.159 stick with it, go play one more game, and then again he didn't 128 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.279 play a whole lot this year. Yeah, he was. He was injured 129 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.639 a bunch and you know, Sharon time and stuff like that. But Michael 130 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.559 Wiley will be in the lineup for Arizona in the Alimibile, which bodes well. 131 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.120 Again, just a testament to what a good kid that guy is, 132 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.399 right, Yeah, always not a kid any where. He's like thirty five 133 00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.840 years old. Yeah, and Oklahoma has lost a lot of lost bunch. 134 00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.759 I have it right here, the the the opt outs for all the games. 135 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:41.240 But I was looking at the at the Alimobowle. You've got eight guys 136 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.639 in the transfer portal, including their starting quarterback Dylan Gabriel, a couple of 137 00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:48.200 offensive tackles and I don't know if these guys are starters or whatever, a 138 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:56.840 couple of offensive tackles, running back Towee Walker, a cornerback, they're tight 139 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.000 end Jason Lewell and who is a good player. But they've got eight people, 140 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.759 eight players jumped into the portal. Arizona's got two Canyon Moses, a 141 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.559 cornerback group didn't obviously didn't play much. And then Isaiah Taylor, I think 142 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.440 we've all heard of, but you know, I wasn't one of the top 143 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.039 players. So those are the only two Arizona players according to according to this 144 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.440 website that that track, I think it's on three that show sports betting. 145 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:24.960 That's so so according to you, uh, given your history from last week, 146 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.360 uh and your theories of picking teams, you would take Arizona. I 147 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.679 am given you know what I'm gonna take Arizona. Was telling everybody right now, 148 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.559 I'm taking Arizona. I laid off of them all year. They got 149 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.480 their nine and three season because I laid off of them. I'm freaking taking 150 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.480 them. You can't stop me. No, I don't really. But you 151 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.840 know the reason you took who'd you take? The team to give up in 152 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.360 the final? Because everyone was leaving, Ohio, who's that? Yeah? 153 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:58.600 And you said killed the guilt and they killed. But nobody told me that. 154 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.759 Nobody from their one of the top rated defenses in the country. Nobody 155 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.279 from the defense left, so they didn't need to score that many points to 156 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.840 win that game. I mean I turned it on and they're like, like, 157 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.879 up seventeen or nothing. I'm like, what am I doing? What 158 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.600 am I doing? You're the guy with too much information? Believe it a 159 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.799 little more of this one, two, three, four, five, six, 160 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.799 seven, eighteen eleven, twelve Ohio State players in the portal. Yeah, 161 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.120 I'm not playing in the Cotton Bowl. And then people in the Orange 162 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:33.120 Bowl are jumping. Yeah, let me find the Orange Yeah, the Orange 163 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.759 Bowl. Georgia's lost five guys and Florida State lost to another guy, to 164 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:43.039 one of their one of their defensive stars today, so they've lost not eight 165 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.120 guys now, yeah, well people are jumping. We were stablished stars. 166 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.679 Go to Justin Spears up Twitter. He had something that Wiley had said, 167 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.399 have you seen really read him yet? Now? Quote? You can? 168 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.759 You can say some of the quote, not all of it though.

They followed a plane 338 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.519 and it was going to Toronto and he's gonna sign with the Blue Jays and 339 00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:55.680 people were like, that's it. His value sucks. You know, he's 340 00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:00.680 in Toronto, he's in Canada's kind of lost and stuff. Then he signs 341 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.799 with the Dodgers. All of a sudden it turns, It makes a sharp 342 00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:07.359 turn. It goes up thirty percent. So yes, the market, the 343 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.440 market count you know, La Dodgers, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs rather 344 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:17.519 than playing for the Miami Marlins or Toronto Blue Jays. Market makes a big 345 00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:22.000 difference. So we know his his value. Who's the second and third next 346 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.319 best I mean the young players are pretty excited, you know, the exciting 347 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:30.200 young players like a Kunya is great. You know, he was the other 348 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:37.480 MVP. That's great. Mild He's just so quiet, but people still collected 349 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.240 in our collecting business, they still want him. Aaron Judge a couple of 350 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:42.559 years ago, he had the home run, right, you know, he 351 00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:48.799 was just flying up and charged those type of players. Otani by far out 352 00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:52.680 sells everyone, just like in the vintage out of our category, Mickey Mantles 353 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.599 out sells everybody ten to one. Wow. Okay, all right, So 354 00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.119 I'm a Dodger fan. I want to show hey card. When will he 355 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:06.599 When will he start showing up in a Dodger jersey on baseball cards? So 356 00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.839 Tops has this program it's called tops now where they make instinct cards, like 357 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.519 every day they might post a card. He already has some wearing the TOPS 358 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:21.440 hat. But the real TOPS cards are going to be coming and we're hoping 359 00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:26.119 early February. Okay, And what will one like TOPS card out of the 360 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:33.759 first lot of cards go for the lower end, Like the first ones are 361 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.119 going to be twenty dollars and they could range up to I mean, obviously 362 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.640 if it's a signed card, it's one thousand dollars. Sure they could range, 363 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.799 you know, twenty dollars to a short printed card it's one hundred dollars. 364 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.319 So let me ask you a dumb question. You've been in the business 365 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.680 a long time. What do you do? You you buy and sell right 366 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:55.680 even personally every single day? Personally? What this is like the stock market? 367 00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.880 We all know that, right, you know? When when do you 368 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.480 know? When do you know when to sell or buy? I mean, 369 00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:06.200 you just try to like nobody even knows in the stock market or the real 370 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.119 estate market. You know, it's a true breathing market. Nobody really knows. 371 00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:14.759 So you try to do your best estimated guests, and with these cards, 372 00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:18.440 most of the time it goes up based on player performance, just like 373 00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:22.440 a stock goes up based on the company performance. Amazon does well, They're 374 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.960 going to go up. Botany does well, he's going to go up. 375 00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.240 You just try to gauge it. Right now, football cards are really low, 376 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.519 you know, especially some of these quarterbacks. All these quarterback injuries. 377 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:37.200 I mean, I think it's a record for quarterback injuries. They're in the 378 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:41.799 dirt. I mean a few years ago, some cards were selling upwards of 379 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:48.079 twelve thousand. Na he's sold listings three hundred and fifty dollars. I'm thinking 380 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:51.160 it's time to buy that. But you sell when it's really high, when 381 00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:55.680 Otani's had his peek, you actually do sell. Although your heart tells you 382 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.400 not to know it's going to keep going, isn't But you actually do. 383 00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.160 You know, Man, that's I mean, that's gotta be nerve wracking too. 384 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.079 I mean, do you get nervous about that? No, not anymore. 385 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.960 I used to. I used to, but it's so many years in 386 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:15.599 this Yeah I don't. But I mean he has all his great cards in 387 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:25.880 some bank vault like Switzerland or something. Right, No, seriously, but 388 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:29.079 you know it's again fascinating market. Like you said, you know, you 389 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.960 feel like you hear so much more about it. And you know people parked 390 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.440 outside of a Target to run in and grab the boxes. That are you 391 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:38.279 know they're gonna you know, hit the shelves at that. I mean, 392 00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:45.559 that's still a thing right now. Okay, I'm glad it did, because 393 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.759 that was just taking it beyond. You know, people are fighting over cards, 394 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.720 and they even Target to quit selling cards for a while because I think 395 00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.680 someone pulled a gun in the parking lot, so that that's far and beyond, 396 00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.240 you know, the cards. The bottom line, it's it's about like 397 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.920 being them, the happiness it brings you in. And Jay and I are 398 00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.400 actually in a business club together and we had a Christmas party a couple of 399 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:08.839 weeks ago. One of the wives asked me, like, what do you 400 00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.319 do, George? And I was like, we like sports cards and collectible 401 00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.400 She's like cars, Like what like baseball cards. I was like, hey, 402 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:19.559 exactly like baseball cards. He's like, why baseball cards? And I 403 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.880 was like, it's kind of you know, like there's a lot of reasons. 404 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.200 You know. I was like, do you collect fine art? She's 405 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:27.799 like no, But I was like, it's our fine art. You know. 406 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:32.920 We really enjoyed that picture card that the nostalgia it brings back, like 407 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:36.079 I remember when I was a kid. Oh it was wonderful. I had 408 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:42.039 that card that can grigby Junior car. But it's just a sportsman fine art. 409 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.319 You know. I thought you were going to say one of these great 410 00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:47.599 stories, George, what do you do for living? Know? Why to 411 00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:49.359 click cards? And you know, baseball cards? Oh Mehito, you need 412 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:56.960 to grow up. My mother fro what are you going to you went to 413 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.440 college, when are you going to get a real So, so you tell 414 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:06.160 me more, let me give this here, yes, please don't make me 415 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:11.480 leave you at the outlet, ma Mamo. So let me ask you. 416 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:15.079 You have the cards, obviously, but give me a couple of good items 417 00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:22.559 in your place that aren't cards. That aren't cards, as far as we 418 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.119 have a lot of memorabilia, I mean you purchased. I'm a Raiders fan. 419 00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:33.200 So there's a DeVante Adams signed jersey and they're hanging uh there. That's 420 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.119 a good question. You got me on that one. Well you have parily. 421 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.440 We are a sports card shop, but we do sell a lot of 422 00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.119 autographic memorability. Do you have Mather and you have a guy named Kerr and 423 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:45.759 oh yeah, all the Arizona guys for sure. And a book or two 424 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:49.640 of mine still I think, yes, yeah, one book, so you 425 00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:52.759 got to read one over there? One signed, and then that's worth more. 426 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:57.200 That's not signed. That's that's pretty much. That's pretty much Bob Celler 427 00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:02.000 eight. Yeah, I think the the unsigned ones they're worth more. Sign 428 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.519 so many I have a question maybe for the average fan out there, because 429 00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:08.079 look, I've got two jerseys hanging in my closet, you know, in 430 00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:12.279 covered in plastic, but one signed by Luis Gonzalez, one signed by Randy 431 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:15.680 Johnson. You know, I got I got those jerseys and I got them 432 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:21.279 signed, and they're they're just signatures. Uh, you know, any value 433 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.759 to those at all? For for anybody? Yeah, of course, sorts 434 00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.720 of value. Randy Johnson's Randy Johnson, Luisan's always hit the game winning hit 435 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:33.359 in the World Series over Derek Jeter. There is value and people want that 436 00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:40.160 stuff. Is it value? Like show hey Hani, No, No, 437 00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:44.680 because that's just yeah, everybody, everybody's in the moment now. They just 438 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:48.359 want like who's the next guy, Who's Like how many times have they said 439 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.440 who's the next short? And who's you know, it's everyone speculating on the 440 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.039 next brother and like focusing, Like god, he was awesome. He was 441 00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.200 really good. Yeah. Like, we've got in here in our studio and 442 00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:02.000 I brought this in because it was my sister's she had in order to put 443 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:06.880 it. There's a Joe Montana signed jersey sitting here framed in our well. 444 00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:08.759 You've seen it, right, I have? Yeah, you know, what 445 00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.720 do you make of something like that? I know, my sister would never 446 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.720 get rid of it. But you know, how does somebody know that that 447 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:21.039 was actually signed? So one there's third party authenticators that could, you know, 448 00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.559 you could send it off and they could analyze the signature and the slant 449 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.079 and the press and the stroke and they could, you know, let you 450 00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.720 know if it's real or not, and then they they'll tie it. Okay, 451 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.880 yeah, I think yours was? Was it authenticated? Yeah, it's 452 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:37.880 got a little sticker on it now that I look at it. Yeah, 453 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.920 yeah, yeah, it's authentic. And there's something like that actually even goes 454 00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:45.440 up more when the current team wins. So if the forty nine ers win 455 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:49.680 the Super Bowl this year, that'll actually have more value because it also takes 456 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:53.599 them back to the glory years. And like with Arizona memorabilia, you know, 457 00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:56.839 if our team does really well this year, I saw a lot more 458 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.680 of glory or Arizona rebellious stuff. I'm gonna have to tell Lane that we 459 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.680 dropped it and broke it. I think it's gone and somebody stole it. 460 00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:13.640 George shop for sale, George Spider. Once he came in here, he 461 00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.640 said, hey, look at that. That guy that's worth Yeah. Yeah, 462 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.759 no, must this must be a fun time, busy time. Even 463 00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:24.319 though it's party busy for you, it is really busy. Yeah, Like 464 00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:28.799 I said, in terms of volumes and transactions, it's really busy. Normally 465 00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:31.200 it's one or not one, but two people on the floor right now, 466 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:36.119 it's got to be four or five at all times on the floor as far 467 00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:42.839 as the show associates. What's weird is a product dropped actually December, it 468 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.240 was twelve twelve, and they pronounced it the Tom Brady Day. And it's 469 00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:52.799 a baseball product. It's it's called out twenty twenty three Bowman Draft Baseball and 470 00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:54.599 it's you know, all the new draft, like the baseball Draft. It's 471 00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:00.519 all Dirk cards, but they added Tom Brady baseballing into it, and so 472 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:06.960 his card is people are going nuts chasing that. And then he signed so 473 00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.240 many of these cards and there's a gold autograph and it's number twelve of fifty 474 00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:14.759 and he actually signed it Tom Brady, you know, he signed the signature. 475 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:17.440 And then he said and it's like a retrovers like you know, you 476 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.799 go back in time and it's like if if baseball doesn't work out, I 477 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:27.480 can always try football. Wow, people are chasing that card. They're going 478 00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.440 nuts. Someone put an anonymous person put a bounty, which is a legit 479 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:35.759 source, put a five hundred thousand dollars bounty on that. And we're doing 480 00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:37.960 breaks and people are coming in and buying bugs.

Hey, welcome back to Ryan the Ball. 552 00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:54.280 Here Fox Sportsports fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. Here's Jacin Zowis he with us 553 00:38:54.280 --> 00:38:59.599 for the next fifteen minutes? We have some good Yeah, you know, 554 00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:04.320 we we went ahead and captured the first couple of minutes of Tommy's press conference 555 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:08.119 talking about the Alabama game coming up, a couple other things. Steve got 556 00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.119 a question in there, so let's just play. It's about a two and 557 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:15.639 a half minute clip to beginning of the press conference includes the question, So 558 00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:17.760 it'll just give you an idea of this from the very top of the press 559 00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:23.039 conference. What was the first time you've had film from a loss to look 560 00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:27.199 at? I mean, do you look at it differently lost games before? 561 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.559 Oh? Okay, okay, okay, thanks look at it differently? No, 562 00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:32.400 I mean, you just I mean, everything's a learning opportunity, and 563 00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:37.119 you know, we played a really good team that played really well, and 564 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.400 you know, we obviously made some mistakes, you know, areas we wish 565 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:43.920 we could have done things a little bit better. But I think that's every 566 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:45.800 game, so you know, we're we're not going to make too much of 567 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.400 it. And you know, I mean, it doesn't feel good. And 568 00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.639 we're a program with high expectations and high standards, so you know, losses 569 00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:57.639 are always tough. But but we'll be all right. Last year and even 570 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:01.079 the year before, it seemed like this team always, your team's responded well 571 00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:06.079 to a loss and use that feedback you expect. I mean, you know, 572 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:08.159 with the jury's out, we're gonna find out tomorrow night, you know, 573 00:40:08.719 --> 00:40:10.719 I hope. So, I mean, these guys, no one's been 574 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:15.679 hanging their head. We've we've you know, practiced as normal and operated it 575 00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:17.480 just like we would any other time of the year. So no, I'm 576 00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:21.119 excited. We got a great opportunity tomorrow to play a great team. I 577 00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:23.400 think it's gonna be a really exciting game. Watching the Tike today, anything 578 00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:28.480 in particular standout, Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, 579 00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:30.880 like I said at the presser, you know, I mean it's I don't 580 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:34.079 know if it's a big thing or not, but you know, maybe you 581 00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.320 should have called a time out. You know, when that first half, 582 00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:39.719 at the start of the game, when you know this there was no dead 583 00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:44.559 ball, you know, you usually count on that dead ball to give you 584 00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:47.440 your first media timeout. But the game went almost over seven close to eight 585 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:51.159 minutes without one. And you know, I thought we were playing well, 586 00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:53.039 and then I felt like we got a little bit tired, and I think 587 00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:55.639 we had three turnovers in a row. You probably could chalk up to a 588 00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:59.800 little bit of just fatigue. And you know, maybe I could have did 589 00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.599 a bit o job there the soapbop. Well back the three games that'll be 590 00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.960 haer. What did you think going in back in the day when we cover 591 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:08.960 loop He did this all the time. Play good teams, to see where 592 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:12.280 you're at. Oh for sure. I mean we want to see where we're 593 00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:15.000 at. And by no means do we feel like we're a finished product or 594 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.760 you know, we obviously we're not invincible, so we want to go out 595 00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:23.039 and test ourselves. And and you know, the these December schedules kind of 596 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.159 stack up like this sometimes. You know, you get a couple of these 597 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:30.119 Saturdays and in December where you can play some Marquee games. You know, 598 00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.599 I mean they're the you know, TV wants it, and you know, 599 00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:36.719 it seems like people are more willing to schedule these this time of year. 600 00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:38.920 They've tested their team a little bit in November, got through their mt they 601 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.599 want to play a couple of tough games in December before they get to conference, 602 00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:44.559 so it just kind of plays out that way. And you know, 603 00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:46.960 and if you throw a tough game in midweek, well then you're probably gonna 604 00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:50.960 end up with three, three or four tough games in a row. And 605 00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:53.880 that's where we're at. So I mean, I'm excited for the opportunity. 606 00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:57.960 I'm glad we get an opportunity to play Wednesday, and I know it's going 607 00:41:58.039 --> 00:42:00.840 to be an incredible challenge. Talk about how game Saturday came together with Fox 608 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.360 and everything, but this game on Wednesday was a let's start off with you 609 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:08.400 and Natos or was that? I think it was just connections on our staff, 610 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:10.400 you know, I mean just you know, we got connected, and 611 00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:15.079 I don't know if there was an intermediary or something that kind of put us 612 00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:17.920 together, but I think both teams were looking for, you know, another 613 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.079 Marquee game and we got to you know, we're returning this game to Birmingham 614 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:25.000 next year, so kind of a neutral, neutral type concept. So yeah, 615 00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:30.800 nothing crazier than that. So Jay, one of the reasons I asked 616 00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:35.280 that question, and now I just lost my train of thought but you know, 617 00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:40.039 you can get to establish something. Evan said that the best the biggest 618 00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:45.400 one this year involved there was oh right, yeah, the best win because 619 00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:50.840 it was on the road neutral sign. So let's see how long that lasts. 620 00:42:50.960 --> 00:42:52.840 And I say this for a reason, I didn't want to bring this 621 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.599 up to him because I'm sure he's tired of comparing this program to the the 622 00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.440 Zegon program. Because this is what they had to do given that there were 623 00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:04.400 such a powerhouse in their league and everyone is not going to gain anything from 624 00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:07.840 playing in the league. They have to do well here to continue to establish 625 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:10.840 themselves as a one or a two. Right. It's like it's like, 626 00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:14.079 yes, it's like they got to build up points, right, right, 627 00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:15.920 You've got to score a lot of points in that first quarter exactly because they're 628 00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:20.000 not going to have opportunities to score in the second quarter exactly. And the 629 00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:22.199 worst thing that can happen you can lose in your league, and that'll be 630 00:43:22.320 --> 00:43:27.599 a huge knock, right because you haven't played anybody. Yeah, so that's 631 00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:30.719 what these are important. These are important games, and I think you're right 632 00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:36.280 here. I think they are magnified because of of what's coming up in depends 633 00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:37.760 one in the PAC twelve. You know, they're not going to be able 634 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.639 to pile up you know, ratings, points or whatever you want to call 635 00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.119 just you know, uh, you know in the in the next in the 636 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.400 second half of the season, right, you know, every every game is 637 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:52.440 the season, and every season is a game where they need these these victories. 638 00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:54.480 I think with the way the PAC twelve has developed and what we're seeing 639 00:43:54.519 --> 00:44:00.679 now, these these next couple of games have become much more more important than 640 00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:01.920 maybe we thought, you know, we thought it was nice they were gonna 641 00:44:01.920 --> 00:44:06.000 play them. You play the game, see what happens, right, but 642 00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:07.360 now you feel like, you know, they kind of need to win these 643 00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:10.679 games, right, you know, question to have that, to have that 644 00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:15.559 on that side of the ledger. You know when when March rolls around and 645 00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:19.599 they're they're doing you know, tournament seeds, and they're you know, you 646 00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:22.400 know, uh with what there's twenty game, they're eighteen and two in the 647 00:44:22.440 --> 00:44:24.840 PAC twelve, and they you know, and they lost to two teams they 648 00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:29.519 shouldn't lost to. I mean, it's gonna be it's look, it's gonna 649 00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.480 be hard, if maybe even impossible, to go undefeated in the PAC twelve. 650 00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:37.719 Because somebody's gonna jump up and bite you. But you know the wins 651 00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:39.199 are gonna be piling up. Aren't gonna do much for you? Yeah, 652 00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:43.840 no questions before the are you liking this to the football season in as much 653 00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:45.280 as we didn't know what they were? Right? And you look at the 654 00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:49.039 schedule and everybody does it, well they can win here when here they can 655 00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:52.280 go five and six or five and seven, six and six or whatever. 656 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.719 And now after the Duke win, you say, hmmmm, well they could 657 00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.760 go undefeated, defeated undefeated. You look at the schedule ahead of time, 658 00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:06.079 ahead of time because I think it means before the season in basketball, you're 659 00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.320 thinking, okay, maybe they can get through these couple of games, win 660 00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:13.239 you know, two of four. Right now it's like maybe we could win 661 00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:17.039 four of four, and now you're hoping to win three of four as we 662 00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:20.559 grow forward, right, And then you had the Duke of Michigan State game 663 00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:22.440 at that you know what, they know they had six games on the schedule. 664 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.480 You thought that's six really hard games, right, you know, and 665 00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:29.280 then all of a sudden they win the first two, then they win another 666 00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:30.079 one, and we're like, okay, wait a minute. You know, 667 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.000 what the hell's going on here? And then they lose for doing You're going 668 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:37.079 okay, you know, but I think though, it's what it does is 669 00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:42.400 this kind of puts water on the on the campfire and simmers egos. Not 670 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.280 here with the fans, nothing players. Yeah, no, absolutely take this 671 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:50.000 call. Hi, R on there and I on the ball. Hey, 672 00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:52.960 guys, how you doing? That's the power coward, Howard You're not coming? 673 00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:58.880 Go ahead? George. George is such a personal guy. That's why 674 00:45:58.920 --> 00:46:00.880 when I first met him, that's I loved about him, you know, 675 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:06.639 as we can tell. I mean, he puts everything positive light where I 676 00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:14.760 always said, you're Gonzales or the Gonzalez jersey is only worth a fourth of 677 00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:17.320 what Randy Johnson's is. Yeah, but I have both, you know. 678 00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:22.039 You know I've had that, you know, I've had those since two thousand 679 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:28.599 and two because I got they were signed in the spring after the World Series 680 00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:30.960 Championship, you know, and they just sitting in the back of my closet. 681 00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:34.719 I've not framed him, I've not done anything when they're just sitting there. 682 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.000 In fact, I forgot about him until you guys are playing the thing 683 00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:45.400 in the background. Who you have? We don't hear anything. You're playing 684 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.920 it. Oh, yeah, you're playing the but I don't hear any other 685 00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.880 radio. Do you have the radio one? No, my my radio is 686 00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:55.840 on about one hundred feet away from me. Yeah, we don't don't don't 687 00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:07.679 hear anything. We don't hear that. It's anyway anyway anyway. So when 688 00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:09.280 I used to do card shows, i'd do him from November to May. 689 00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:13.679 So those are the good times. And here's another good way to look at 690 00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:16.559 it. All the snowbirds are in town. So there's always going to be 691 00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:21.920 more money in town when the snowbirds are here spending it all around. Yeah, 692 00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:23.800 a good point. Yeah yeah, Wait, what did you get out 693 00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:29.119 of the business or did you get it? No? I started collecting when 694 00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:30.239 I was a kid. No, no, But why did you get out 695 00:47:30.239 --> 00:47:35.800 of the business. Oh? I still got stuff. Like I said, 696 00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:42.199 I did one of my biggest sales during China excuse me, during the lockdown. 697 00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:47.440 That's when it opened up the last three years. Okay, it was 698 00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:52.559 a perfect time to do it. And you know the one guy, a 699 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:54.840 teacher in Veil, he bought six, like I said, six seven thousand 700 00:47:54.920 --> 00:48:00.480 dollars worth, and I sold some Jordan's the other day. And anyway, 701 00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:04.599 for the game tomorrow, what's the spread about seven and a half or six 702 00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:07.400 and a half, six and a half, six and a half over Runners 703 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:12.360 one seventy four. Yeah, I just get seven and a half. Well, 704 00:48:12.400 --> 00:48:15.199 of course, I think I can confirm. I'm glad I didn't open 705 00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:20.559 my mouth in the Purdue game. Yeah, okay, we didn't play. 706 00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:23.400 There's a six foot ten bollow. Yeah, he looked like a little dwarf 707 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:29.440 compared to him. My daughter made a comment when they were introducing Uh yeah, 708 00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:32.199 Eadie. She goes, that guy's legs are so much bigger than everyone 709 00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:37.719 I know, because the guy's a giant literally literally. Yeah, we'll see 710 00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:43.719 what happens. The man's a good game. Yeah, we'll see you Howard, 711 00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:47.079 yep, your voices. You know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have 712 00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:50.360 the stomach for that. And I don't know why, as you say, 713 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:52.880 it's not it's really not any different than the stock market, you know, 714 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:55.199 and I you know, I've dabbled in that a few times. I just 715 00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:59.400 wouldn't. You don't have the stomach for that. It's like we've got no 716 00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.000 one to hold. You gotta know when to pull him exactly exactly, and 717 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:06.559 I'm not very good at that. What we're talking about, we're talking about 718 00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:09.920 Tommy, just the importance of winning some more, winning these games that that 719 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:14.679 that it's because a loss is a bad loss. A loss is a bad 720 00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:16.039 loss. Any loss of the pack is gonna be a bad And that's when 721 00:49:16.079 --> 00:49:19.760 I met Yeah, any loss in the Pac twelve is not gonna be a 722 00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:23.440 good loss. I mean, you go to U C L A P. 723 00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:28.719 Because he still should still win that game right in U s C. Yeah, 724 00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:31.519 we'll see in the circumstances, anybody injured whatever, oh YadA YadA. 725 00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:35.320 But well we'll get there when we get there. Yeah, but there's a 726 00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:37.760 lot to like in the see there is there there, there really is. 727 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:44.119 Did you did you find it interesting about Pele the the the the numbers on 728 00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:46.239 pelt with Makawa, Oh, he's the like the key Well, you know 729 00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:50.119 when he explained that. When I saw it, I'm like, what the 730 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:53.119 hell? No, No, But then he explained it. And it's like 731 00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:58.960 when you you evaluate how they do when he's in the game, right, 732 00:49:59.079 --> 00:50:04.079 regardless of whether he scores or rebounds or whatever, when he's in the game, 733 00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:08.079 they're at their best, right, And that's the crazy he's playing well 734 00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:12.840 and that and that's what's the fascinating thing about what what Evan Mike Howa does. 735 00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:15.480 It's funny. It's funny because we got a call from bick Y history 736 00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:19.239 right, giving you grief about about and you're and then the point that you 737 00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:24.960 made that Pelle they lost because the guy that is most valuable to them didn't 738 00:50:24.960 --> 00:50:28.000 show up, had a bad game, had a bad game, right, 739 00:50:28.119 --> 00:50:32.039 right, explain So I was out last night and and we got the victory. 740 00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:36.559 He called yesterday and everybody sucked, right, But I talked to somebody 741 00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:38.079 last night. He says the bench wasn't that good either they had two points 742 00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:42.519 or whatever. Uh, they just that they were exposed. And I said, 743 00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:45.119 explain, well that Boswell didn't play well and Pellet didn't play well and 744 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:50.639 the bench didn't score. It's something that happens sometimes you run up against it 745 00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:54.599 to him against them that does that exactly exactly. You're not gonna you're not 746 00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:58.519 gonna shine every time, right, they do that to you. That's what 747 00:50:58.519 --> 00:51:00.440 they're there for. That's what there's to do. And when it's a good 748 00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:04.599 team, there's a better chance they're going to do that to you than when 749 00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.800 Princeton does it to you play Princeton ten times, nine times you're gonna beat 750 00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:10.599 them, because nine times they're not gonna play the way they played in that 751 00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:15.639 one game. You play Perdue ten times, maybe it's five and five or 752 00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:19.400 six and four one way or the other. So you know, it's just 753 00:51:19.440 --> 00:51:22.719 that there's a better chance that they're gonna play the kind of game they need 754 00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:25.760 to play to beat you than say a Princeton does, or a Buffalo or 755 00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:30.679 somebody like that. Right, So yeah, I mean, you know, 756 00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:34.800 look, was I surprised that they got beat No? I wasn't. I 757 00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.800 really was not. I mean, I you know, I think I would 758 00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:40.880 have been more surprised had they won another one, right the way, I 759 00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:45.920 kept getting surprised when Arizona Football kept winning and winning, and every game that 760 00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:47.880 they won was a game that I thought, Okay, now they're gonna lose 761 00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:51.159 the next one. No, you talked about that yesterday, and then they 762 00:51:51.159 --> 00:51:53.800 didn't. You know, this team the same thing, like I started getting 763 00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:55.639 God, you know, are they going to win another one? Are they 764 00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:58.800 going to win another one? And then they lose and I go, okay, 765 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.239 now you expect me to come out again Alabama and light them up, 766 00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:02.880 because you know, you expect them to be a little more fired up. 767 00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:07.840 You're closer to home. Uh, think more things that Alabama plays, the 768 00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:10.679 kind of game that they play, and and you think you'll like, you'd 769 00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:15.079 like to think that Arizona's better and that if they play the same game, 770 00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:17.800 that Arizona should win the game because they're better at it. There you go 771 00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:22.559 into that gambling word. If if this happens, this happen, because you 772 00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:24.239 don't know, you don't know, you don't know, you know, I 773 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:30.239 think that it'd be fun, should be fun. You're you're going up and 774 00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:32.000 people will be gone tomorrow because he's going to drive up to the game. 775 00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:36.079 Doesn't want to hang out here with me, and I don't want to get 776 00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:40.360 the traffic concrete jungle over there is crazy. So well, I'll I'll probably 777 00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:45.519 line up a a mystery guest host for us tomorrow and a couple of guests, 778 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:47.760 and we'll see what we come up with. But uh, and then 779 00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:51.800 again to repeat to everybody, we're going to be off on Friday. So 780 00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:54.719 Thursday is our last show of the year where Steve is back. We got 781 00:52:54.760 --> 00:53:00.159 we do our pic next week.
