And but he said, you know, 71 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.520 they're a pretty good good program. I'm gonna try to 72 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.719 paraphrase and not be stupid. Paraphrase, are a pretty good program. 73 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.439 But we know who runs the roost now, Houston. 74 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:33.080 Houston. 75 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.360 It's a it's an Eastern Texas team that they have 76 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.560 to surpass. You know, Kansas was good, that's not today, 77 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:40.560 it's Houston. 78 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.000 It's true. 79 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.680 I mean, obviously the conference was quite good this last year. Yes, 80 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.879 Iowa States also in the mix there, in the top ten, 81 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.680 I think, yeah, most of the season. So yeah, it 82 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.520 turned out to be kind of as we expected. But 83 00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.080 there's no easy easy weekend. Actually talks about that easy 84 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:56.599 games at all. 85 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.159 Yeah, exactly. He talked about that being, you know, the 86 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.199 non conference being crazy good. But he says, yeah, the 87 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.159 conference is going to be just as good as it 88 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:05.159 is what it is. 89 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.319 Did he say anything about going to a tournament this year, 90 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.319 the NCAA tournament, No, like a preseason tournament. 91 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.599 Oh no, no, no no, because they're playing too many 92 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.560 good teams.

A caller calls in and you put 146 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.199 it to that microphone and it'll pop in. 147 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:31.879 But we won't do it now.

Yeah, we're gonna have 152 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.040 Jerry Stitt at three seventeen, former U of A baseball coach, 153 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:48.199 assistant coach and the head coach after after Kendle, he. 154 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.759 Was on the He was on the staff obviously when 155 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.480 when Chip won the championship in eighty six. 156 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.879 He was one of the assistant. 157 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:56.920 Coaches along with Jim Wing I was one of the 158 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.279 one of the greatest coaching staffs in college baseball history 159 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.360 of Kendle and yeah and Wing instead. 160 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:02.439 Another good guy. 161 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:07.399 Yeah, another good guy, very bookish, very bright Jerry, Yeah, yeah, 162 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:08.600 is it am I correct? 163 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.959 I think so? Yeah, very very studious he was. He 164 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.439 was just a great hitting coach. 165 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.040 That was kind of this thing, you know, win was 166 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.319 the pitching coach, and Jerry Stitt was the hitting coach, 167 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.279 and they, together with the leadership of Jerry Kendall, had 168 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:23.839 it working for a long long time. 169 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.079 Yeah, it's funny because you know, you and I played 170 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.160 a game or two softball, baseball, whatever it was many 171 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.279 years ago and hosting a pool hitter. I pushed it 172 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.639 to write and I asked, Frank Cota, can you teach. 173 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.360 Me that hit? How do you? 174 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.920 If I had that answer, Steve, I'd be you know, 175 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.680 because it's so difficult, right, but you know there's an 176 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.800 art to it. There's an art to it, and Jerry state, 177 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:50.600 I guess and Francota could probably teach a lot of 178 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:51.279 people how to hit. 179 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:51.920 Yeah. 180 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.439 Well, I mean it was interesting because both baseball and 181 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.199 softball had had really good hitting coaches at one point. 182 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.519 I'm sure they still do. But when we were recovering them. 183 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.040 Who's the baseball Larry Ray was, oh yeah, yeah, football 184 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.399 coaches and he was like the master of the swinging 185 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.360 bunch whatever they call you, lefty slapers, the slappers. So 186 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.680 he was I mean, he was like world famous for that. 187 00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:14.720 They would have kids from all over the world would 188 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:16.600 come in and learn from him and back in the day. 189 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.040 That was how you play. You don't try to move 190 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.040 base to base, you know. 191 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.920 It doesn't do as much I don't think, I mean 192 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.000 every but all the most teams seem to have, you know, 193 00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:23.680 somebody who. 194 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:24.439 Can do it, right. 195 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:25.000 Yeah. 196 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.120 He eventually got a job at Florida and then got 197 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:31.120 released there afterwards. Yeah, yeah, Larry Ray. Yeah, So we'll 198 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.799 have Jerry still at three seventeen. It will be good 199 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:36.559 to talk to him. And at four seventeen we're going 200 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.320 to have who do we talk about, Oh, Dave road Roady. 201 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:45.720 He was mentioned yesterday with our guy Clark christ Right, 202 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:48.080 So Dave Roady's going to be on at three four seventeen. 203 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:49.919 You know how many errors he had in his major 204 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:53.799 league career three years? How many tickets? One? 205 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:54.440 One? 206 00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:55.360 Really? 207 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.320 Yeah, I totally guess because I probably how I asked 208 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.960 the question. Yeah, yeah, because he was so steady with 209 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.080 the glove, you know, nothing got by him. So we'll 210 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.440 talk about that in the u of A. The u 211 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.159 of a's presence in the World Series. 212 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:09.960 Yeah, it's exciting, it really is. 213 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.399 I think it's always good to be playing kind of 214 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.000 at the end of the season when that's really the 215 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.519 only game in town, and people are going to be 216 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.879 paying attention. It's not like they're going to be stuck 217 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:19.720 on you know, ESPN plus, you know, in the middle 218 00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.799 of the afternoon somewhere here they are. It's going to 219 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.679 be on the big ESPN. And we'll see how they do. 220 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.960 If they win, they well, they're they're definitely not going 221 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.000 to play Saturday. Everything goes up to Sunday. They win, 222 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:32.399 they play at one time. If they lose, they play 223 00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.360 it one time on Sunday. 224 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:33.679 Yeah. 225 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.320 So eleven o'clock, first game probably of the whole series 226 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.720 game ye against the team, and there are other underdogs 227 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:41.200 going in. 228 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:44.360 Still underdogs. You're gonna put some money on a U 229 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:47.159 of A so we can. Yeah, we'll line to change. 230 00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.519 But no, that's that's Jay's job. Okay, you got to 231 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:51.720 go the other way with it so they can. 232 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.480 By the time you guys hit the air tomorrow, it'll 233 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:54.759 be over. 234 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:55.159 Yeah. 235 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:58.159 Well that Jay might do it today, you know, or not, 236 00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.440 So we'll see what happens. What you got everything, Ray, 237 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:04.320 did you find it? You found it right, So we'll 238 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:06.919 do that later. Yeah, we'll do that later. Anything else, 239 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.440 Senor David Silver. 240 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.960 No, just looking forward to talking to the coach and 241 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.519 talking to to Dave Roady about his his time as 242 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.399 a Wildcat. No, it's just another chapter in Arizona baseball. 243 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.120 Hopefully it's something that you know, extends into next week 244 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:23.720 at least and they can get through the weekend and 245 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.840 start seeing maybe maybe facing LSU somewhere along the line 246 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.639 with the old coach or UCLA or Oregon State teams 247 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.960 that you know they're somewhat familiar with having just played 248 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:33.960 them the last couple of years. 249 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:34.279 Sure. 250 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.440 Sure, it's definitely got a little West Coast flavor. And 251 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:39.440 again some of the teams that were used to seeing 252 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.840 and that tournament are not there, so it's kind. 253 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:42.919 Of wide open. I had it. 254 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.360 I thought about this earlier because you know, everybody's making 255 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:50.480 a point of you know, three old Pack twelve teams 256 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.080 getting in like a couple only a couple of SEC teams. 257 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.480 How much do you think like And it was one 258 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.240 of those things in college football too, where it was 259 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.840 like the Pac twelve, the pack always just eighty like 260 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.639 itself up, you know what I mean. I could get 261 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.080 to the championship game and like the favorite to go 262 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:05.919 to the playoffs would get upset and like. 263 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:11.759 They would or no football football, But so do you 264 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.120 like do you? I don't know. 265 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.960 It's just it's it's funny to see it now because 266 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.320 it's like now that they don't have to play each other, 267 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.639 they don't beat on each other, you know what I mean? 268 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:22.440 Is that a thing? Is that what you're trying to 269 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.120 think that now? 270 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.320 It could be? Yeah? 271 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.200 Yeah, well they're in the Big two Big Oregon States 272 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.080 by itself, right, uh, pack twe and or the Big 273 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:35.159 ten right right, that's a possible especially in baseball. 274 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:36.559 Baseball was such a difficult. 275 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.159 Yeah, yeah, Big twelve is a pretty good baseball conference, 276 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:40.919 better than I thought it was gonna be. And Arizona 277 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.240 what they finished fourth, and it kind of stumbles a 278 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.039 little bit at the end. But some of those teams 279 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.320 are pretty decent. West Virginia, Cincinnati, Houston, No, I guess 280 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:53.799 Houston wasn't very good, but those others, he was good. 281 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:55.879 But yeah, they managed to get through. 282 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:56.440 To your point. 283 00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:00.360 Probably in baseball, I don't know, but in foot Paul 284 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.519 they were not good. They were not that good. I 285 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.200 just at least by the naked eye and what they did, 286 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.399 they weren't that good. You know, usc maybe every time 287 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.320 every now and again. But yeah, it was not like 288 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:14.159 basketball where they beat up each other and they got 289 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.080 ready for the what it was ahead. 290 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.279 I thought it was amazing in Arizona, you know, going 291 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.879 on the road in baseball here and getting through both 292 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.360 these you know, the regional and super regional on the 293 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.039 road and teams home fields. 294 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.919 I mean, that was pretty impressive. I mean we're kind 295 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:28.480 of like it's. 296 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.720 Happened so fast you don't even have a chance to 297 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.399 kind of, you know, look at it. 298 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.559 From a distance. But I mean that was that was 299 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:35.279 very impressive. 300 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.879 In Oregon, well, I don't know what crowd you hang 301 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.000 out with, Dave, and I know the crowd I hang 302 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:40.799 out with what. 303 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.120 Your old older dudes. I don't have a crowd you do. 304 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.559 So so a bunch of older dudes who don't talk 305 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:51.080 about baseball. Just what they're talking about baseball because you know, 306 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.519 no one pays attention to you to really do really well. 307 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.120 They couldn't tell you whose short start. I couldn't tell you, 308 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.840 But now you know I'm doing it because of the show. 309 00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.480 But before it was like, oh that baseball team pretty good. 310 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.919 Well you never asked me about that a month ago. Now, 311 00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.159 and that's not a criticism. It's just how this city is. Right, 312 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:10.600 you don't pay attention to until you till you have 313 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.360 the news all of. 314 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.759 A sudden, you know, a top story. 315 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:14.039 Right. 316 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:16.399 It's interesting too because when they're on TV all of 317 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:17.919 a sudden, like I had no idea what even these 318 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.559 guy's even looked like.

I'm not like Jake because Jay's over the 326 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.360 top with this.
