Speaker 1: Fox Sports fourteen fifty powered by Nova Insurance Services Insure
Speaker 1: your most prized possessions.
Speaker 2: Been good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Eye on the Ball
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Vera and
Speaker 2: with me is my Monday guy, Mike Quinn. Hell you,
Speaker 2: we didn't even know how to identify you today, right, Matt?
Speaker 2: What do we What do we called Mike paint in
Speaker 2: the next Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, magic man, nice magic magic, magic, magic can make
Speaker 3: it happen.
Speaker 4: Man, Just off the trip to Army. Yeah, just got back.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: Like I said about an hour and a half ago, I
Speaker 3: was that it was great. I mean it's great. I
Speaker 3: was great to watch a game in Mikey Stadium. I
Speaker 3: mean it's Uh. The Sports Illustrated number of years ago
Speaker 3: rated that as the number three sporting venue in the
Speaker 3: United States, behind uh, Augusta National and Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 4: You were just a kid and thinner then I was.
Speaker 4: I was a little fit.
Speaker 3: Well when I played, I was about the same weight,
Speaker 3: but it was distributed differently. Let's say that, okay, and
Speaker 3: I could move, I could move a little bit fast.
Speaker 2: This is a question to both of you. How about
Speaker 2: the wildcats? That's three weeks in a row. I brought
Speaker 2: that up and disappointing. That'sappointing.
Speaker 4: What's what's the most?
Speaker 3: Well, give you give me what that means.
Speaker 6: Just I don't even know how to describe it, you know,
Speaker 6: because you expected them correct it more. No, we all,
Speaker 6: I think we all, most of us said that they
Speaker 6: would win or be close.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm not trying.
Speaker 6: To go back on what I said, but I at
Speaker 6: first I said they were gonna lose, but then everyone
Speaker 6: was saying they were gonna win, and I started to
Speaker 6: change my mom but don't ever do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I stick with your guns. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I wasn't thinking that they were gonna win. I mean
Speaker 3: I thought they and they'd keep it close.
Speaker 2: I thought they'd cover b way, use a legitimate they
Speaker 2: could even cover their wide receivers.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, they couldn't. But then they wa use
Speaker 3: a legitimate team. I mean there's six and oh and
Speaker 3: they've beaten some they crushed kids to stay this you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Mean, this isn't a fluke. No, it's not a fluke.
Speaker 2: But at the very least Arizona should be close and
Speaker 2: should be. There was three and three, and I'm going
Speaker 2: in you thought they would be maybe four and two
Speaker 2: at this moment, maybe five and one pro something off
Speaker 2: like that, because they were supposed to be good, not
Speaker 2: even close. They're like a lucky three and three, all right.
Speaker 2: And I said that in my story that had it
Speaker 2: not been for Nau or U and m sure.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, it could have been, it could
Speaker 3: have been a lot bisier. But that's one reason why
Speaker 3: you play those You were, you.
Speaker 2: Were on our thread, Matt, you were, you were pretty
Speaker 2: vocal or at least text twice.
Speaker 6: What was the most disappointing thing? I want to say? Noah, Noah.
Speaker 6: And and and the play calling.
Speaker 4: He continues to be a problem.
Speaker 6: I mean, before the season start, I really thought, no,
Speaker 6: it was a good quarterback. And you know, I'm not
Speaker 6: gonna go all in on him and you know, put
Speaker 6: all the blame on him, but man, it's just if
Speaker 6: McMillan's not there, it's like he doesn't know what to do,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. And every quarterback as their
Speaker 6: security blanket, as we know, but it's like once the
Speaker 6: team's figured out, you gotta.
Speaker 3: Is he driven to do too much because previously he
Speaker 3: would not who is known for not making a.
Speaker 6: Mistake exactly, but now he's making a mistakes now was
Speaker 6: making mistakes.
Speaker 7: Do you blame that on the coaches or.
Speaker 3: I think it's on him. I think it's on him. Well,
Speaker 3: you to your question, Brendank, he's trying to doan Brennan
Speaker 3: was asked that and Brendan's you know, he kind of was, uh,
Speaker 3: he was, I mean a little bit and he said, no,
Speaker 3: not really.
Speaker 4: I mean he's just, you know, doing things.
Speaker 3: He's got to feel pressure to make it all harter
Speaker 3: to me, he knows success. I mean he's seen that's
Speaker 3: the problem. And now he's like sitting there. It's like going, Okay,
Speaker 3: we've got to you know, we've got to do this.
Speaker 3: You've got to make this play.
Speaker 2: You know this because you're a teacher and you played ball.
Speaker 2: If you had success all your life, Guys, what's the
Speaker 2: one thing you don't want to do is fail? Right,
Speaker 2: and you do everything you can not to fail. And
Speaker 2: that's what he's doing. I mean sometimes you you you overcompensated.
Speaker 2: If that's right, where you I'm not gonna fail And
Speaker 2: then guess what you do?
Speaker 4: You fail? You fail? Well, you're pushing it.
Speaker 3: And like I said, I think he's I do think
Speaker 3: he's pressing.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: I think what they're I think they're trying to turn
Speaker 3: him into a drop back quarterback. I mean in the
Speaker 3: pocket quarterback. And I don't think that's his strength. To
Speaker 3: both of you guys, you see them dropped back. He's
Speaker 3: dropping back twenty yards. That's an issue too, because he
Speaker 3: needs I'm saying, we've talked about that, right. I don't
Speaker 3: know why they don't get him out that last year.
Speaker 4: I remember movid he am I wrong, No, he The.
Speaker 6: Thing is he did do that, but the old line
Speaker 6: was good enough to give him the time and to
Speaker 6: you know, there there was a lot of weapons in
Speaker 6: that office to get the ball out.
Speaker 7: Great.
Speaker 3: So one of the things that Lev said today and
Speaker 3: we'll have live on Wednesday, I think that he had
Speaker 3: I think he got rid of the ball on two
Speaker 3: point five seconds last year, and now he's got three
Speaker 3: point five, three point two whatever. He's got more time now,
Speaker 3: which makes you you think.
Speaker 6: I don't think that's more time. I think it's lack
Speaker 6: of people getting open, or you know, lack of players yeah, okay,
Speaker 6: that's why you probably got to hold them. I mean
Speaker 6: when when you when you're getting rid of it in
Speaker 6: two point five and it's scheme, okay, you're you're sitting
Speaker 6: there and you're like dropping back and you're going at it.
Speaker 6: I don't think we're getting a separation right that we
Speaker 6: had before. I think that Tim Max is getting double
Speaker 6: triple team. So it's not like, Okay, he's he's he's
Speaker 6: going to be open. Well that's the case, guys. Then
Speaker 6: it's not all I know.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 4: I don't okay, more directed exactly.
Speaker 6: And once he started like behind the eight ball, like
Speaker 6: being for it's down for you, and.
Speaker 2: Then you know, when it gets when it gets to
Speaker 2: three point four, he's getting crushed. I mean he's getting
Speaker 2: he's getting crushed when he gets rid of that ball.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then at him defense is hurt. All of
Speaker 6: a lot of people are hurt. So that's also not helping.
Speaker 4: But right right, you know, it's just you're you're a fan.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're a fan. How disappointing is it? Well, okay,
Speaker 3: I mean I think you get a temper a little bit.
Speaker 3: We are in the Big twelve now we've got we're
Speaker 3: facing teams that have much better defenses than what we
Speaker 3: saw in the Pac twelve. I think we got a
Speaker 3: new coaching staff and a new style and a new offense.
Speaker 3: So yeah, dude, would it be great if they were
Speaker 3: six and oh yeah, sure, it'd be great. I mean,
Speaker 3: we'd all be into it, all be into it. But
Speaker 3: I don't think it's time to hit the panic button
Speaker 3: on this thing. And it's not. You know, we're we
Speaker 3: still get some games ahead of us. I mean we're
Speaker 3: still not we're not playing great, but and it may not.
Speaker 3: It may not be this season. So this season we
Speaker 3: may not try. But I'm tell you it is not time.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're seeing these things on fire, Brennan. You know,
Speaker 3: it's like going these people that have you know, s
Speaker 3: keyboards and phones and can get on Twitter.
Speaker 2: And five bucks in their pocket. Yeah, five bucks in
Speaker 2: their pocket. They're they're not buying out Brennan's contract. I
Speaker 2: guarantee that, no, they're not. I just I just you know,
Speaker 2: you can't. You can't sit there and say, okay, you
Speaker 2: know it's over. So that's so being a student, a
Speaker 2: senior student, uh, and a shu doing really well.
Speaker 6: Because that Listen. I mean I'm surprised as he was.
Speaker 6: I mean, who would have thought they were predicted to
Speaker 6: win three games? You know the season last Now they're
Speaker 6: what four and one? I mean I haven't won Yeah,
Speaker 6: look at that?
Speaker 4: So does that?
Speaker 7: What does that upset me? Not really?
Speaker 6: No, because I got Look, I didn't make the team.
Speaker 6: So whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you just go to the school, right, I
Speaker 3: just go if you want to be disappointed. How about Utah?
Speaker 3: Oh that's yeah, I mean ke going for eight years though. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess guess what I was.
Speaker 6: I was going to text the chat I bet on
Speaker 6: that night to go over his passing yards. That's what
Speaker 6: it was, right. It was two fifteen and he got
Speaker 6: told on he threw a pick for a game. Oh
Speaker 6: then I lost my money. Don't do it, don't do it.
Speaker 6: You got to get to college. Still, we got to
Speaker 6: pay tuition. Yes to this, So I'm trying I'll try
Speaker 6: to try to make that money.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, so I talked to an a guy
Speaker 2: like you, Mike, but a guy because you're you're a fan,
Speaker 2: you have nice seats and you give them the school money.
Speaker 2: I talked to a guy this week this weekend or
Speaker 2: to a booster. And this is kind of like buyer's remorse.
Speaker 2: Buyer's remorse because they're giving kids money right here, you do, well,
Speaker 2: come back blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Now you're not seeing any return. Yes, it's like you've
Speaker 4: given your.
Speaker 3: Kids and my kids giving them money for college, and
Speaker 3: you realize they never attended class. They never what happened?
Speaker 3: You didn't pay it to it. No, I decided to
Speaker 3: have fun with it.
Speaker 6: It's more like they're attending class, just not passing the class,
Speaker 6: you know, or.
Speaker 4: Either where did my money go?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: I mean, and and all that is legitimate, but the
Speaker 3: bottom line is that I I do believe it's we
Speaker 3: got to, you know, look to the future. The money
Speaker 3: that you're kicking into the kiddie is for the future
Speaker 3: of what Brennan can do. I think, and I think.
Speaker 4: I think he's got to bring in people that has
Speaker 4: has fits his style.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, whatever, that's they've already and breaking news when
Speaker 2: they already have a de commitment from somebody coming in
Speaker 2: and guess what, they ain't gonna be the first one.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so, I mean, I mean, I do,
Speaker 3: I do, But you know, you can't go out there
Speaker 3: and be playing like this and think that you're going
Speaker 3: to get a lot of commits.
Speaker 4: No, and you get Florida State.
Speaker 2: You get COMMITSD because they're doing well. They like what
Speaker 2: you're doing. Sure, and I don't know anything that is
Speaker 2: likable right now.
Speaker 6: I mean, is this what happens to a team when
Speaker 6: they lose like a lot of starters to the NFL, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but you still have enough. I think you
Speaker 3: still have enough. Here's the sad point. Okay, they get
Speaker 3: beat forty one to thirty five. Here they get beat
Speaker 3: to Candisy. You know, twenty eight to thirty one. You think, God,
Speaker 3: we're just right close. It's not even close.
Speaker 7: It's the way we're losing.
Speaker 4: It's the way you're losing. It's like, what the hell?
Speaker 3: So okay, so think this kind of goes to, uh
Speaker 3: some things where you're we have we have talented players.
Speaker 3: I mean we've got got a talented running back, we
Speaker 3: got a talented receiver. Now six games in, you can
Speaker 3: assume that, well they played talented before, we've seen talent.
Speaker 3: The thing that the thing that we're struggling with is
Speaker 3: the offensive line, right, I mean, we're just the offensive
Speaker 3: line is is struggling this year. We lost a lot
Speaker 3: of people from from You don't have to agree with it.
Speaker 3: I think we have to agree with it.
Speaker 4: We got talent.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I know my name is not on the
Speaker 3: top of the show, but you still can't agree with me.
Speaker 2: It's like it's not all agree with the boss. It's
Speaker 2: not a great radio but you okay the offensive line.
Speaker 2: But there's more to it than that.
Speaker 7: Go ahead, I say it's coaching, all.
Speaker 4: Right, there's something to that. I really do it. I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't know Jay.
Speaker 2: In fact, I asked Jay to call in at about
Speaker 2: the four to ten mark today he had a press conference.
Speaker 2: He didn't say anything that was like earth shattering. I
Speaker 2: think Channel four Jenna said, you know, have you established
Speaker 2: the identity? You know, last last week or two you
Speaker 2: didn't know what it was, And then Kelly he didn't
Speaker 2: know what it was. And Kelly kind of David Kelly,
Speaker 2: our current apart, UH said the same thing. You know
Speaker 2: after three weeks you didn't know, can you know after
Speaker 2: six He waited about a second or two, which is
Speaker 2: a long time, and thinking he didn't know, he does know.
Speaker 4: Six weeks in.
Speaker 7: He still doesn't know.
Speaker 4: You're right. Can you can you say what the identity is?
Speaker 4: Maybe not good?
Speaker 7: What Deon would have known what's wrong with the team.
Speaker 3: He would have said, well, he would have said, he
Speaker 3: would have well, yeah, they're totally also, guys, you don't
Speaker 3: want to lose the team.
Speaker 6: And that's what I'm talking about coaching, Like he's I
Speaker 6: feel like he's starting to lose the team when when
Speaker 6: you're used to winning, when you're used to like having
Speaker 6: the start, yeah, and then it's not going your way.
Speaker 6: I mean I don't I don't know the players personally.
Speaker 6: You know, I don't know what's going on in the
Speaker 6: locker room, but I don't know something that potential.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, do is that get back into buy in?
Speaker 3: You know, you got to buy into the system, and
Speaker 3: now they're struggling to buy in even more because it's
Speaker 3: like it's not going well, it's not going well.
Speaker 4: You're gonna find people that are going to buy into
Speaker 4: the success.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you buy in like first week, you don't buy
Speaker 6: in like six weeks, seven weeks.
Speaker 2: Right, Well that's well, that's why I think everybody had
Speaker 2: hope about the Utah game, right, Okay, Okay, we got it,
Speaker 2: We got this down.
Speaker 6: Then you realize you does that that good didn't because
Speaker 6: again we played a backup freshman.
Speaker 3: Is it turns out he's probably the better quarterback right now? Well, yeah,
Speaker 3: at least he's not hurt. Yeah, I think I think
Speaker 3: something wrong with going to draw security before he finishes.
Speaker 4: Cop might have.
Speaker 7: I think it's wrong with them his hands, he's not
Speaker 7: fully ill something because.
Speaker 3: Well he's out again because of his legs or something.
Speaker 5: I see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 2: It's a trouble trouble in paradise. But there's so many
Speaker 2: things with the Arizona I think, uh, you know, you
Speaker 2: win ten, you freak out and can't duplicate it.
Speaker 3: It happens all the time, there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: And you know the difficulty. The difficulty, and we've touched
Speaker 3: on this full time previously. You would sit there and go, Okay, well,
Speaker 3: these players are going to be back. He'll be able
Speaker 3: to develop them, he's going to be able to mold
Speaker 3: them in his way.
Speaker 4: It is heck.
Speaker 3: I mean in this time of where you can go
Speaker 3: to the transfer portal and lose half your team, you
Speaker 3: have people that are decommitting. You know, there are people
Speaker 3: that are going to be bought out and go nail.
Speaker 3: You know, it's like, yeah, you're not going to have
Speaker 3: the same team. I mean it's a new team almost
Speaker 3: every year.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's there's no question about that. But guess what
Speaker 2: you got to play with the hand that's dealt you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, and I used to play my hands bad.
Speaker 3: There's only there's only three teams right now in college
Speaker 3: football that have that did not take uh, did not
Speaker 3: enter the transfer who Clemson, Clemson, Army and Navy. They're
Speaker 3: the only ones that do not have anybody.
Speaker 2: Well and they have consistency and they could be a
Speaker 2: one off too, Mike, Come on, they're not any good.
Speaker 2: I mean they're good, but they're not that good.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well they're not six and OHO.
Speaker 3: But I mean they're in a conference now, right, so
Speaker 3: there maybe maybe the fact that in the last three
Speaker 3: years they've been.
Speaker 4: Able to develop the same same people, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean we talked about this in UH, we talked
Speaker 3: about this in basketball all the time. I mean, if
Speaker 3: if if the answer was one and done, Kentucky would
Speaker 3: win the national championship, no one else would play.
Speaker 2: Arizona would be pretty good. Yeah, and that's not the case. No,
Speaker 2: that's not the case. I mean there's teams Yukon develops
Speaker 2: their players and uh yeah with some with some transfers
Speaker 2: and some good players. And guess what a pretty good coach.
Speaker 2: Pretty good coaching. If there's one thing I've learned in
Speaker 2: this life is coaching matters.
Speaker 3: Coaching does matter dealing with college college kids. No offense here, Matt,
Speaker 3: I'm taken. Okay, we got to go.

Speaker 3: Come welcome back to all them out here on Fox.
Speaker 2: For fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Vera. He's Mike Quinn. Now
Speaker 2: on the phone. We have coach Stott from Ironwood Ridge. Coach,
Speaker 2: how are you?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Is he on?
Speaker 7: He's on?
Speaker 4: Yeah, coach, can you hear us? Hello?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: Oh is he on the phone? He's got Hello, coach?
Speaker 4: Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Speaker 2: You had him on the phone for a second. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was there. Okay, let me let's try to reach
Speaker 2: We'll call him one.
Speaker 3: I have him call it one more time, go, I
Speaker 3: go ahead and hang up, hang up, and we'll get
Speaker 3: with them.
Speaker 4: They're having a good season this year. Six and I
Speaker 4: had six six and one.
Speaker 3: I have six six when they lost to Buena, but
Speaker 3: then had a big game they beat a Tucson. H
Speaker 3: uh an interesting, Buyenne has only lost tu soon high
Speaker 3: So h hello, coach, how are you sorry?
Speaker 2: We lost you? Good to hear for you, Good to
Speaker 2: hear from you. What's going on in Ironwood Ridge? Six
Speaker 2: and one?
Speaker 5: Something good going on? We got some great kids, and
Speaker 5: we got some momentum and we're excited about in the prospects.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question. What's the Did you anticipate this coming in?
Speaker 5: We did? We We really did. We felt like we
Speaker 5: could go on defeat it this year. We're a little
Speaker 5: disappointed that we lost the early hick Cup to Buena,
Speaker 5: but we think we've got something rolling now.
Speaker 2: Did that what what? What part of the season? Did
Speaker 2: that happen early or just recently?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was our second game we lost there, and
Speaker 5: we got down early twenty seven nothing in the first half,
Speaker 5: came back to me to twenty seven to twenty one
Speaker 5: going into the fourth quarter. We got one of our
Speaker 5: best players ejected and just had a myriad of difficulties
Speaker 5: closing that deal out and ended up losing. But since
Speaker 5: then we've won five in a row and we feel
Speaker 5: like Tucson High we just played was a really good
Speaker 5: team so and they beat Boyna, so we feel like
Speaker 5: that kind of gave us a little redemption.
Speaker 3: Yeah, congratulations coach about beating Tucson. I guess said that
Speaker 3: had to have been a little of redemption tour for
Speaker 3: you after losing.
Speaker 5: To winning it really was.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I get a question for you. You guys
Speaker 3: are scoring some points and obviously playing some defense and
Speaker 3: doing really really well, and you've got No Gallas coming
Speaker 3: up here, which seemingly would be a pretty good game
Speaker 3: for you. Guys, how do you keep these kids focused?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to know off to do that
Speaker 3: in the NFL, and it's almost impossible to do it
Speaker 3: in college. How do you do that in high school?
Speaker 5: You know, the kids have real firm grasp of what
Speaker 5: we're trying to accomplish. They set goals. Last year, two
Speaker 5: years ago. I don't know if you remember, we were
Speaker 5: one and nine, and last year we went eight and three,
Speaker 5: made the playoffs and won the region. And making that
Speaker 5: big turnaround took a huge investment of time and energy
Speaker 5: into the weights, and the kids really put their focus
Speaker 5: on getting better. And this year they wanted to. They
Speaker 5: want to, they want to go all the way, and
Speaker 5: so they worked really hard in the offseason so they
Speaker 5: don't really lose focus. We have a bye week this
Speaker 5: week and then they'll Gallas next week and the kids,
Speaker 5: the kids are out there still running hard lifting. We
Speaker 5: lift off every day of the week in the season,
Speaker 5: even on game days we lift weights.
Speaker 16: Kids are really serious.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're good, So did the did the loss? Kind
Speaker 2: of maybe recalibrate you guys and maybe wake you guys
Speaker 2: up and say, okay, or may not be as good
Speaker 2: as we thought. We would be, but that helps with
Speaker 2: with moving forward absolutely.
Speaker 5: I think you know, unbroken success is fun, but it
Speaker 5: doesn't always teach you the most, you know, so when
Speaker 5: you get a get a bump on the on the way,
Speaker 5: it does tend you to make you refocus and and
Speaker 5: and realize you've got to get better. And that was
Speaker 5: good for us.
Speaker 3: So so uh that you're right, yeah, So so you
Speaker 3: talk about coming back after an unexpected loss like that
Speaker 3: and uh and stand focused. You must have some pretty uh,
Speaker 3: pretty good senior leaders on that team. Who's uh, that's
Speaker 3: who's you're standing out for you in that category.
Speaker 5: Well, we've got David Boba at number one. He's a
Speaker 5: team captain and he's a third year starter for us.
Speaker 5: Just recently he moved from tight end to a left
Speaker 5: tackle because our left tackle went down with a knee injury.
Speaker 5: And he's also a starter at defensive end. But he
Speaker 5: committed recently to Colorad of School of Minds. He's he
Speaker 5: wants to be an engineer. He's got a four point
Speaker 5: five g PA with all AP courses and stuff. Just
Speaker 5: a great kid, families from and he's just been a
Speaker 5: great leader for US, great player, great person. And then
Speaker 5: we have also Matthew Kroner, who is leading the state
Speaker 5: of Arizona and receiving yards and he's got eight hundred
Speaker 5: and twenty nine yards on forty five catches and nine touchdowns.
Speaker 5: And he's he's also a three year starter and also
Speaker 5: as an offer to Colorado School of Mines. Believe it
Speaker 5: or not, he's got four or five D two offers.
Speaker 5: He's been really good. He's a fast kid and he
Speaker 5: goes both ways for us as safety and a receiver.
Speaker 5: And then we also have Matthew Kroner, I mean not
Speaker 5: matth Coroner, is that we also have Grant Dueling out
Speaker 5: of his sidekick, who really has done a great job
Speaker 5: for us. And he's also plays receiver and corner. He's
Speaker 5: a lockdown corner. This last game he had one hundred
Speaker 5: yards receiving, two touchdowns receiving and then two inner exceptions.
Speaker 5: He had a block kick and he recovered an on
Speaker 5: site kick and multiple tackles. He's just he's a great player.
Speaker 5: He's also he's committed to Colorido School of Mind, so
Speaker 5: we had three kids that are probably going to go there.
Speaker 4: That's a great school coach. I mean, that's a.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that that's a that's a that's a
Speaker 3: destination school for engineer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they're also football great school they are. The
Speaker 5: last two years they took second in the nation in
Speaker 5: the playoffs and they were fourteen to one last year.
Speaker 5: So we feel really proud that they want our kids
Speaker 5: and that they offered all three of them and that
Speaker 5: that's really really been big. And we've got a lot
Speaker 5: of other kids contributing. Our quarterback is a young guy,
Speaker 5: but he's just a junior, but he's been a really good,
Speaker 5: good player for us and a good leader to His
Speaker 5: name is Jamie Martinez.
Speaker 2: So so coach, we'll dale stopped the Iowood Ridge football
Speaker 2: head coach?
Speaker 4: You have him been there too long?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: Not too long? When you profess third year?
Speaker 7: Is that right?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, So when you took the job, I think you
Speaker 3: were you were somewhere else, Phoenix or somewhere. No, I
Speaker 3: was in Utah, Utah Okay, yeah, George st George right
Speaker 3: sat George. Yeah, Yeah, So when you took the job,
Speaker 3: and I've seen iron Woodrid it's not too far from
Speaker 3: my place. So they've had a lot of the success
Speaker 3: and then they haven't. Then they have when you took
Speaker 3: the job. What did you see The potential was, Well,
Speaker 3: I knew.
Speaker 16: That in the first year was going to.
Speaker 5: Be rough because they had no one returning from that class.
Speaker 5: They had some disruption in the coaching ranks, and and
Speaker 5: the kids, you know, had kind of rebelled and and
Speaker 5: had transferred a bunch from the transferred out. And there
Speaker 5: was one returning varsity player and he wasn't a starter.
Speaker 5: That was one varsity player. The JV team had gone
Speaker 5: winless and didn't even score a touchdown, so it was
Speaker 5: it was bare bones. But I knew the history of
Speaker 5: the school, I know the demographics, and I felt like
Speaker 5: they you know, I went to Amphi High School millions ago,
Speaker 5: fifty years ago, and I knew that that district was
Speaker 5: somewhat a district that really supported athletics. So I felt
Speaker 5: like it could be a diamond in the rough. I
Speaker 5: know in the past has been really good, and I
Speaker 5: felt like he had great potential.
Speaker 2: Right right, Well, you're talking about five fifty years ago.
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're exaggerating just that here. But you didn't
Speaker 2: play or play for coach Freedy, right, You played for
Speaker 2: Roper before him?
Speaker 5: Loper, Yes, Loper and Jerry Loper and Jake rowd In fact,
Speaker 5: I just had lunch with Jim Kron, our quarterback, and
Speaker 5: it has next year it will be fifty years that
Speaker 5: we won the state championship.
Speaker 16: So nineteen seventy and then Loper finished, that was his
Speaker 16: last year, and then Freedley came and when we graduated.
Speaker 2: So, wow, what did you take away from coach Loper?
Speaker 2: I mean, you've had probably a lot of great coaches
Speaker 2: to follow. What did you learn back then and how
Speaker 2: do you do it now?
Speaker 5: You know, he is very old school, very somber, quiet, solid, silent,
Speaker 5: strong type offensive lineman, put great emphasis on old line
Speaker 5: play and lifting weights and I follow that in many ways.
Speaker 5: But also the defensive coordinator was a guy by the
Speaker 5: name of Jake Rowden who'd been defensive coordinator at Arizona
Speaker 5: in fact in Kansas State, and he was a big
Speaker 5: influence on all of this as well. And yeah, I
Speaker 5: learned a lot from them, and really their leadership and
Speaker 5: their example made me want to be a coach.
Speaker 16: And I took kind of a roundabout way.
Speaker 5: To get there. I went to medical school and started
Speaker 5: coaching while I was in medical school, and then I've
Speaker 5: been coaching.
Speaker 16: You know, since then, so it's spent a lot of years.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, Wait a second, you're you're med school
Speaker 2: graduate and then you're coaching football.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm an antistysologist, board certified and retired.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I was gonna say, your parents are were
Speaker 3: very happy for you, were very disappointed in you being
Speaker 3: a coach.
Speaker 5: I did both for a long time.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm grateful to be able to just focus on this.
Speaker 5: I coached pro football in Italy for a year after
Speaker 5: I retired and did.
Speaker 16: Some other things. So it's been fun.
Speaker 5: Getting back to the high school game. And I really
Speaker 5: enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: So it was probably your intention or had been for
Speaker 2: a while, that you wanted to come back home after
Speaker 2: going to Utah or wherever.
Speaker 5: Yes, I went to you know, I grew up here
Speaker 5: and went to med school and college here and then
Speaker 5: practiced in California for ten years and then Utah for
Speaker 5: twenty five, and so it was good, good to come home.
Speaker 5: I've got grandkids here and daughter here, and so it's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice, nice, And now you're really finding some great success.
Speaker 2: So you say you have no gallas in two weeks,
Speaker 2: right or ten days whatever, it's gonna get right a
Speaker 2: week from right, okay, and everyone's healthy, good to go.
Speaker 5: Yeah, healthy. We've got one out with a concussion, but
Speaker 5: you should be back. And other than that, we're pretty healthy.
Speaker 5: We lost the tackle and way in the game, like
Speaker 5: you say, I left tackle. We hope to have him
Speaker 5: back by the playoffs and then we should be right
Speaker 5: at near one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Great, well, gonna keep an eye on how you guys
Speaker 2: are doing the rest of the way. Probably if you
Speaker 2: get to the playoffs, maybe talk to you again.
Speaker 4: Enjoy your ride here.
Speaker 5: Thank you, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: You're very, very excited for your coach. You're definitely uh,
Speaker 3: you're definitely doing some good things up there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: thanks coach.
Speaker 5: I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: All right. That's Dale Scott. Yeah, Dale Stott from Iowood Ridge.

Speaker 3: you get you get so excited, you don't mind the heat.
Speaker 3: I mean, everything is going great.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: When when you start losing, it's like, you know, everyone
Speaker 3: starts pointing figures.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: In fact, Brennan talked about today. You know, last year
Speaker 2: we were three and three at this time and then
Speaker 2: they took off. There's that chance to do it again.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I'm not seeing our I'm not seeing us
Speaker 3: take it on.
Speaker 4: Well that's the thing. Last year there were no expectations. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and they did it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I could couldn't well, we can hear you now.
Speaker 2: Who's this Okay, this is Brian, Brian, Brian, thanks for
Speaker 2: calling in. Hadn't heard you for a while. What did
Speaker 2: you feel on Saturday?
Speaker 20: Luckily I went to the baseball game, which one had
Speaker 20: a scrimmage, and that was eleven o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 20: and so I was the game started at one, so
Speaker 20: I was able to uh listen to it when I
Speaker 20: was at the baseball game. I didn't rush home.
Speaker 16: To finish watching the game.
Speaker 20: I can tell you that, do you.
Speaker 16: I did record it.
Speaker 20: And I watched it later, but very very disappointing. I mean,
Speaker 20: there's there's not just one problem.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of problems.
Speaker 3: Totally agree with you giving me your top three.
Speaker 16: They have no discipline this this team.
Speaker 20: Okay, I have no idea if it's a coaching problem
Speaker 20: or whatever. They they just shoot themselves and the foot
Speaker 20: with stupid penalties constantly. And I don't know if I
Speaker 20: don't know if afita Is is not on the same
Speaker 20: page as Brennan, you know, like what your what are
Speaker 20: your people say that earlier? That offensive line is not
Speaker 20: helping him out of all no, but also at the
Speaker 20: same time he's making terrible decisions at the same time, right,
Speaker 20: you know.
Speaker 5: He just one.
Speaker 16: I didn't understand the.
Speaker 20: One play when they do the interception on the goal line.
Speaker 20: I didn't understand why you threw the ball. I'm sitting
Speaker 20: there going you're moving the ball down the field real well,
Speaker 20: just keep moving the ball down the field.
Speaker 2: Right, that was an interception where you cut it at
Speaker 2: the two or something like that.
Speaker 16: Yeah, yes, yes, again, I didn't understand, you know, because
Speaker 16: it was the same thing happened in the Texas that game.
Speaker 20: Yea, you know, we moved the ball down the field,
Speaker 20: then all of a sudden, we're just throwing thirty forty
Speaker 20: yard passes to try to get a touchdown and instead
Speaker 20: of just keep.
Speaker 4: Moving the ball down the field. Okay, I asked you
Speaker 4: for three. I don't you gave me two. We don't
Speaker 4: want to go the third one. But let me ask
Speaker 4: you this.
Speaker 2: Do you have hope that they'll get this thing right
Speaker 2: before the season's over?
Speaker 20: In a no, because only for the fact that you
Speaker 20: know they haven't shown improvement at least if you start
Speaker 20: out bad and you hope you get better each game
Speaker 20: as you go along. Okay, the Utah game that was fantastic,
Speaker 20: But the Texas Tech game was terrible only for the
Speaker 20: fact the offense. And I'm gonna play calling the offense.
Speaker 20: I don't understand why we don't throw the ball in
Speaker 20: the middle more. I still haven't figured that part. Everything
Speaker 20: we throw is either deeper.
Speaker 16: On the sidelines and it's just difficult to watch.
Speaker 3: And and what gave you? What time did you get home?
Speaker 3: Did you get home before the game ended?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: So you did you watch the rest of it and
Speaker 2: then replayed it? Or what I'm going to say this,
Speaker 2: are you a glutton for punishment knowing that what you
Speaker 2: were going to see was not going to make you happy?
Speaker 20: Obviously there was nothing on TV that.
Speaker 4: Coming out right away? This WA's this horror movie again?
Speaker 16: No, no, I I can only see hocus focus somebody times.
Speaker 3: Well, so, Brian, you mentioned that the offensive line was
Speaker 3: struggling and that Fafiita was making bad decisions.
Speaker 4: So those things go hand in hand.
Speaker 16: Yes, yes they do.
Speaker 20: But you know, my my concern is what these teams
Speaker 20: have done to keep Faffita from running around a lot,
Speaker 20: you know, and we have.
Speaker 16: Not figured out how to solve that problems ourselves. So
Speaker 16: I look at that as.
Speaker 20: A coaching coaching problem. I mean, you know, they keep.
Speaker 16: Him in in the pocket as much as they can
Speaker 16: because they know he can't see over anybody.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been saying ask a couple times. Steve still
Speaker 3: doesn't listen to me, but I keep saying it. They
Speaker 3: got to get him moving out, They got to they
Speaker 3: got to move him around, right, I agree with him.
Speaker 18: You got to love him quicker.
Speaker 20: You know, they got to move him quicker because what
Speaker 20: he does, he drops back, is ten fifteen yards and
Speaker 20: all of a sudden and our receivers aren't getting open
Speaker 20: or he can't see him. I don't know which one did.
Speaker 20: But it's just hard. It's just hard to watch. And
Speaker 20: I know that, you know, Colorado's coming in here and
Speaker 20: they should have won their game over the weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 20: but uh, that's that's gonna be That's gonna be a
Speaker 20: difficult game, very difficult, right.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: We don't talk about gambling much anymore, thank god, because
Speaker 2: my partner is gone. But are you still shocked that
Speaker 2: the Ariz almost a three and a half point paper?
Speaker 5: Very shocked?
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, very shocked me too.
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, you know that.
Speaker 20: That Colorado game they should have beaten in Kansas State.
Speaker 20: You know, a couple of dumb plays at the end,
Speaker 20: and they could have won. They could have won this
Speaker 20: over the weekend. They could they had a chance.
Speaker 5: Yeah they did, and.
Speaker 20: I I just can't see, you know. And Colorado has
Speaker 20: played very good football for most of their games, where
Speaker 20: Arizona has not played very good football. I mean even in.
Speaker 16: The even in the NAU game, they.
Speaker 4: Didn't look real good.
Speaker 3: I mean, what game outside of the Utah game did
Speaker 3: they look good. They didn't look that great against New Mexico.
Speaker 20: They only look the.
Speaker 16: Only look good in the second half of the New
Speaker 16: Mexico game.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's one half they've.
Speaker 16: Played one half better than no halves.
Speaker 3: There were some times that they looked pretty decent against
Speaker 3: Texas Tech. Now there were times that they didn't, which
Speaker 3: cost us. But you know, they have some flashes of
Speaker 3: really third order I think that they did well twelve halves, right,
Speaker 3: twelve halves.
Speaker 20: Halves in the Texas In the Texas Tech game, they
Speaker 20: did very well when they were just moving the ball
Speaker 20: down the field and not taking the chances of throwing
Speaker 20: at thirty or forty yard pass. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 20: mean We're not going to score like we did last year.
Speaker 20: Just move the ball down the field and then get
Speaker 20: our points when we can and keep the defense off
Speaker 20: the field as much as we can.
Speaker 2: Well, Brian, I don't say this very often, but hanging there,
Speaker 2: hanging there, Good luck with that.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 20: You know, I'm just hoping we did. We can become
Speaker 20: Bowl eligible. Now I'm starting to worry about that now.
Speaker 3: Right right, Well, when you go back to New Mexico
Speaker 3: Bowl or something like that, who knows.
Speaker 20: Oh, some some crabby balls we can.
Speaker 3: Get in, Brian, and you want a ball, And now
Speaker 3: you're talking about crappy balls. Okay, we make you happy.
Speaker 20: Well after about ten up, that's about all they are.
Speaker 4: That's about right. Yay, thank you man, Thank you, Brian.
Speaker 5: Okay, come back, keep.
Speaker 2: That phone handy call anytime we get some lines open
Speaker 2: five to oh four one, six, seventy four forty we
Speaker 2: have time. We have about ten minutes. He's right, I mean,
Speaker 2: he's listened to you. The offensive line, and no one
Speaker 2: didn't have a problem with going dropping back fifteen ten
Speaker 2: yards whatever it looks like fifteen it's probably only seven
Speaker 2: or eight. But what is he doing? And then he's
Speaker 2: got to make up that yardage for right.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I mean he you know, he can
Speaker 3: throw the ball that way, but there's been a couple
Speaker 3: of times where you know, he'll drop back ten fifteen
Speaker 3: yards and then the rush will get in on him
Speaker 3: and he takes a huge sack and.
Speaker 2: They're already on top of him and the trajectory of
Speaker 2: the ball has to kind of float. They talked about
Speaker 2: that that that interception on the corner that he said
Speaker 2: at the job that ball was like a slow curveball
Speaker 2: or a slow floater and the guy just jumped in
Speaker 2: and took it overthrow. It was not it was not
Speaker 2: a dartish because he's going back so far.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I'm not a quarterback, but yeah,
Speaker 3: we know what I see. Yeah, it looks like he
Speaker 3: was finding gaps. Yeah, but he's finding gaps and you
Speaker 3: know throw. Yeah, now it looks like he's trying to
Speaker 3: throwing crafty. I mean, you have to know or they
Speaker 3: have to know what they have, and it doesn't look
Speaker 3: like they're they know what they have. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 3: thing about it. I mean you just wonder if it's
Speaker 3: like going oh no, no. Brennan is used to this
Speaker 3: type of quarterback to play this type of way, and
Speaker 3: if he's not adjusting to the type of quarterback that
Speaker 3: he has, because he's got a talent.
Speaker 2: And so let me let me ask you. I don't
Speaker 2: even know who the second guy is. I don't even
Speaker 2: have a game, don't get do you? Do you remove
Speaker 2: him because he's played that badly just to give him?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, because you're what you're afraid of losing him,
Speaker 4: or you're yeah, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: Look that he's got talent, he is really good. You
Speaker 3: are not gonna sit there and say, okay, well you've
Speaker 3: had a couple of bad games, are you.
Speaker 4: On a couple of interceptions? He's still your best option.
Speaker 3: I cannot imagine that that the guy behind him unless
Speaker 3: he's arch Manning. I mean if if, if, if arch
Speaker 3: Manning was behind him. Yeah, they're being quarterback conference.
Speaker 2: Well last year, last year, at this time when they
Speaker 2: play Stafford, you're thinking, oh, no, you want to throw
Speaker 2: him in there right away and guess what happened.
Speaker 4: Magic happened. It did, it did. But I'm not sure that,
Speaker 4: like you said, hey, you're on the air and eye
Speaker 4: on the ball. Who's this? Oh you're on the air.
Speaker 4: Maybe not that.
Speaker 2: I think we prettymature said, what is there someone there
Speaker 2: that he was there? Okay, don hang on, we'll try
Speaker 2: to get you on.
Speaker 5: Hellop.
Speaker 4: Okay, well we'll keep trying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you would I understand that I probably wouldn't
Speaker 3: do that either because what.
Speaker 4: Do I know. But but at some point you might
Speaker 4: have to.
Speaker 3: I don't think that, you know, last year, for Feta
Speaker 3: stepped in because the other guy who don't remember what
Speaker 3: it is was injured. But uh, it wasn't. I mean
Speaker 3: he stayed in because he was playing well. But give
Speaker 3: us a callback. Don give us a callback. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't think you know, it's it's just like terrible, Like
Speaker 3: like Brian said, there's a lot of a lot of
Speaker 3: things and it starts at the top. Oh yeah, there's
Speaker 3: my whole thing. And Jay might call him a four
Speaker 3: ten today, Uh there's God.
Speaker 4: And I don't even know.
Speaker 3: But I've said this coaching matters, and he's got no emotion,
Speaker 3: he's got he's just a good dude.
Speaker 4: Yeah you could. Football coaches don't have to be good dudes.
Speaker 3: No, But I mean it's you can't really sit there
Speaker 3: and go, oh, listen, you know what I need. I
Speaker 3: need a I need a coach that's gonna yell at people. No, no,
Speaker 3: you know, I need a coach that shows emotion, that
Speaker 3: cries on the sidelines. You know, I need a I
Speaker 3: need a Bear Bryant screaming and yelling and punching playing. Well.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I'm hearing from my people that
Speaker 2: I talked to that golf clap is wearing thin. The
Speaker 2: golf clap is wearing thin because they're showing at three
Speaker 2: and three and not showing much.
Speaker 4: Yes they are.
Speaker 3: There are three and three in this guy's first year,
Speaker 3: in our first year in the Big twelve. I think
Speaker 3: it's a little you've been it's a little premature to
Speaker 3: sit there and go, hey, let's get rid of the
Speaker 3: golf clap. You know you need to No, No, that's
Speaker 3: hired him because he's successful. That's I mean, I use
Speaker 3: that lightly, but you know what I'm saying, I do.
Speaker 3: And then the lay stuff. I'm not frustrated that you
Speaker 3: you say, I'm fraid, I guess I'm frustrated at the
Speaker 3: whole constant. You know, fire fire, Brennan Crown. It's like going,
Speaker 3: come on, we're not.
Speaker 2: Doing the problem with that, and we joked about at
Speaker 2: the beginning and joked about it. Told the truth the
Speaker 2: people it's coming from people that either don't buy tickets,
Speaker 2: don't have money invested in the program, but they have it.
Speaker 4: They're emotionally involved.
Speaker 5: This.
Speaker 3: What if you're emotionally involved, you can always get the
Speaker 3: hell off the motion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the motion training. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I doubt if right now there's people walking into the
Speaker 3: a D's office and saying, here's my check book, get
Speaker 3: rid of Brennet. Yes, I mean they're not doing that. Okay,
Speaker 3: they're you know, they're they're frustrated. They'd like to win, absolutely,
Speaker 3: but I don't think that they're they're not screaming for
Speaker 3: for him. And until they do, you're not going to
Speaker 3: get You're not going to get anybody. Uh to on
Speaker 3: the fire Brennan train in the administration. Jim's calling, that's
Speaker 3: what That's what we're saying. Jim's calling. He's called twice.
Speaker 3: We've got a little time. Let me give you this.
Speaker 2: Uh So the weekend, I saw I saw Arizona play,
Speaker 2: I saw Washington play, I saw Obama play.
Speaker 4: Imagine you believe in the Peter principal. No, sure, and
Speaker 4: it happens in coaching all the time.
Speaker 2: It happens all the time. So look at this chain
Speaker 2: of reaction. Uh, Alabama gets their guy in Washington, sets
Speaker 2: the stage for Fish to go to Washington, and it
Speaker 2: sets the stage Jim, are you there.
Speaker 4: Some no, no, what's going on? Just can't get them miney? Okay, okay.
Speaker 2: So and then s that's the states for Brennan to
Speaker 2: come here, and then the new coach will go to
Speaker 2: San Jose State. I mean, this domino thing that's happened,
Speaker 2: and all of them, well maybe I'm not sure about
Speaker 2: Santa s State, but the the Peter principals kind of
Speaker 2: caught on them.
Speaker 4: Is he gonna survive it? Ballad already pissed their.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no, no, no there there there are people that
Speaker 3: are calling for his head already.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But okay, see here's another situation where it's like going, Okay,
Speaker 3: you got a new guy coming in, you have a
Speaker 3: new administration, you have a new style here, and you
Speaker 3: know there any all these different places, you have a
Speaker 3: new style. Very rarely do you have somebody that walks
Speaker 3: in uh and it's like all of a sudden like
Speaker 3: they're really good, uh, or even stay that way. I
Speaker 3: mean just jumping in. I mean, how many how many
Speaker 3: years have been looking for a replacement for John Wooden?
Speaker 4: I mean, and how did that go?
Speaker 5: Yeah like that?
Speaker 3: No, No, but okay, Alabama is more stable because Greg's
Speaker 3: been there for a while.
Speaker 2: Whether he lasts long do not know. Here's the problem. Okay,
Speaker 2: Washington their a d highed Jed and he's gone. He
Speaker 2: was like two months there and he's gone. He went
Speaker 2: to Nebraska or somewhere on. And then Desiree didn't hire
Speaker 2: Brennan and he did.
Speaker 4: He's gone.
Speaker 2: And now it's Desiree's issue and the president, the former
Speaker 2: president that we had all last week, well because it
Speaker 2: was kind of like those two and picking Brennan because
Speaker 2: he was the easy choice, and you know it would
Speaker 2: have been who would have thought it wouldn't work?
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, again, I think we're giving up on the
Speaker 3: experiment pretty pretty much.
Speaker 4: No, no yet, Well, I mean it's not.
Speaker 3: Yes, he didn't come in here and suddenly you know
Speaker 3: we were undefeated, you know, in the Big twelve. So
Speaker 3: with with a lesser, lesser talented team. Now, I'm I'm
Speaker 3: all forgiving him an opportunity. If we're two or three
Speaker 3: years into this and we're like still running no offense
Speaker 3: on this and we're not making any progress. Okay, now's
Speaker 3: the time to assess. Sure, but no one's you know,
Speaker 3: you can't go in there and says no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's kind of strange or not strange
Speaker 2: that this has happened, right one guy.
Speaker 3: I think I think it's I think it's definitely telling
Speaker 3: the fact that you've got these guys at these other
Speaker 3: universities that are walking in and suddenly they're they're not
Speaker 3: as successful. Everyone's like, you know in Alabama, you know,
Speaker 3: I got buddies of mine in Alabama. Right now, it's
Speaker 3: like going, we need to bring Saban back. I'm like,
Speaker 3: Saban is not coming because we're.
Speaker 2: One minute Okay, we got one minute, Jim, sorry, give
Speaker 2: us a call. On the other side, maybe three forty ish.
