I said, they're gonna 23 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.280 move the They moved the back before you guys were born. 24 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.319 It was thirty two, right, and then with the sixty 25 00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:16.879 four now it's sixty eight. Now they're thinking about going 26 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.280 to seventy six, and they might include them all when 27 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.959 they go to one hundred and two. Guess what one 28 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.840 hundred and three hundred and four hundred and five, we're 29 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:24.920 gonna be pissed that they were not in. 30 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:26.040 Yeah. 31 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.640 Oh, someone's always gonna be upset.

What about us? 34 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.920 But let me tell you there's some gripe because we 35 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:35.879 talked about this on there or North Carolina or a 36 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.079 fair af fair. I mean, if there's a team that 37 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.079 probably doesn't deserve to be in there, and maybe a 38 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.040 West Virginia that's why he's upset. 39 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.400 Yeah, yeah, but I mean I don't know. 40 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.400 I thought that was pretty funny, a little funny, little 41 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:49.439 little like whoa man? 42 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.959 Yeah, no, it was big news all over. 43 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.439 Yeah, all right, So bringing it back local. 44 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.519 The baseball team on an eight game win streak right now. 45 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.079 Right, you're you're boss is covering that, right? I keep up, 46 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.680 I keep up. Yeah, they're lucky. What are they twenty seven? 47 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.439 What are they then? 48 00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:08.520 One and four? Something? That twenty one four? 49 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.919 They're not ranked In fact, someone someone of my puncho 50 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.199 on my on my Facebook posts that talked about that, 51 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.000 where they're twenty and four whatever, twenty one four and 52 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.800 they're not They're not ranked a. 53 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.400 Little bit surprising in my opinion, because in my eyes, 54 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.280 they are a pretty impressive team. 55 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.639 They hit the ball well, they they they. 56 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:33.800 Shut out opponents for the most part, and I mean 57 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.280 shut out when it's they're eleven to three. Score, oh 58 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.360 they're fifteen to four. Fifteen and four are still fifteen 59 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.919 and four. Yeah, you're winning seventy five percent. 60 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.680 You know what, other teams are probably playing well. So 61 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.080 how do you how do you eliminate those guys? Because 62 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.159 these guys are doing well. I mean it's a turn 63 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.520 of not turn of events, but circumstances of events where Okay, 64 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.039 they're doing really well. We acknowledge that, but the people 65 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.879 ahead of you are doing well too. How do we 66 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.680 JUSTI probably knocking you guys off. 67 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.479 It's company, it's the team that's left out again here 68 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.039 we are Arizona's left out, and maybe some people are upset, 69 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.879 but there's only twenty five teams that can be ranked. 70 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.120 Because I always complained about the fans here locally and 71 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.199 Bill who hasn't called since he ranked me in August. 72 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.080 So you're not from here, right? How long have you lived? 73 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.199 You've been here a while? You're a sports fan, right? 74 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:25.479 Yeah? 75 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:28.759 I lived in Arizona for five years, lived in Tucsons specifically, 76 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:29.759 coming up on three. 77 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.000 What do you do you and you listen to shows 78 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.360 like this? Not mine but fan base? 79 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:36.159 Tell me? What do you think? 80 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:36.560 You know? 81 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:37.719 Funny enough? 82 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.759 I really liked how Big felt like about his call earlier, Like, 83 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.280 you know, because everybody says that we were fairweather fans, 84 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.360 and I think that's I wouldn't say fairweather. 85 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.159 I'd say a little bit more realistic. Is I think realistic? 86 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:50.319 Okay? 87 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.120 Because I mean I don't think you should ever be, 88 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.680 you know, be proud of a loss. I mean, oh right, sure, sure, sure, 89 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.000 but you know there's nothing to hang your head about, 90 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.960 you know, at least the Houston after a tough game. 91 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.680 Don't don't be happy that it was a closed game, 92 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.159 but you know, let a spark a fire or something, Okay, 93 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.439 And I think that's how fans should be. 94 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.560 What do you think about those fans? I've lived it. 95 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:18.079 I still live it when I'm not on air writing. 96 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.000 Uh So I get both sides. I'm starting to lean 97 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.519 more towards the Steve riveras of the world, which means 98 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:31.040 a little bit more. 99 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:33.680 They're jaded, jaded on the fans more more. Yeah, yeah, 100 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:34.720 could you? Could you now? 101 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:38.560 Because you're paying attention now where where they're more whiney 102 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.279 is not the right word, but it's kind of whiney. 103 00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.040 They look at the great plays, they turn away at 104 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.600 the bad plays, and they still yell what happened? 105 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:47.279 Yeah? 106 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.199 Right, See, you're not there yet. That's why I asked, 107 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.759 because I figured you would have that opinion, and you 108 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:53.879 might have that opinion. 109 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:55.759 Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I always think it's 110 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.000 fun being like a delusional fan too, like. 111 00:04:59.279 --> 00:04:59.879 Did you do fit? 112 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.040 There's always yeah, I mean it keeps a fresh How 113 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:05.480 much your. 114 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.160 Eggs in that world?

The Sun's lost 121 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.199 yesterday and they're right now on outside looking in on 122 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:31.959 the plane. 123 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.639 It doesn't look good at all. No, they're not playing 124 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.879 like they care all that. I'm not a huge fan. 125 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.079 I'm not a hater of steven A, but he used 126 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:48.439 a great uh analogy where it looks like they were 127 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:50.480 sent by their parents to go do chores and now 128 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.879 they're a little bit lethargic and they don't want to 129 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.519 do the chores. When they get they're getting paid at 130 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:57.879 the end of the day to do this and this 131 00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.639 is their their career. 132 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.439 I think they'll go one further with with that. They're 133 00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.240 told to be doing chores, so they don't want to 134 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.040 do the chores, the lethargic hoping that they'll never have 135 00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:08.680 to do the chores because they did such a bad 136 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.199 job that they'll never be asked to do it again.

You know, 205 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.480 they broke down some plays, and they did let them 206 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.759 come back in at the end of the game like 207 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.679 they have been. But you know, one of these days 208 00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.960 they're gonna be resilient. They're gonna you know, from Houston 209 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:08.600 and get them. 210 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:11.759 Well here's the here's the one thing that I totally 211 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.639 agree with you.

That hadn't been the case 213 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:21.039 for some of the year, right, So, uh, that gave 214 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.639 you hope, I mean that type of thing gave you 215 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:23.440 hope for the future. 216 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:25.159 Yeah. 217 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:25.799 Yeah. 218 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.279 And and for Tommy because like a lot, I'm real 219 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.759 critical and Tommy about not having because he doesn't seem 220 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.440 like the type of person that you know, a yawler, 221 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.440 a streamer, like you said, and and some of the 222 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.039 time outs it seemed like he was, you know, come on, fight, fight, fight, 223 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.080 and it was like, yeah, that's good, good to see you, Tommy. 224 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.480 Get get after there. But right right, right, and sometimes 225 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:52.200 you know, the team takes on the personality of their coach, 226 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.919 and if he's always real nice and friendly and you 227 00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:57.200 know this, and which Tommy seems. 228 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:57.440 Like he is. 229 00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.799 You know, sometimes you can get that fight of your team. 230 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.919 Yeah, but I think we got some guys the. 231 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.399 Three guards, I know, and all you know, the people 232 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.200 coming behind them are following them. There, you know they're 233 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:10.720 getting some fight in them. 234 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.320 Yeah.

Yeah, Tommy, he's Tommy's a 256 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.159 players coach. But I think that this is a that 257 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.320 moment is where he won some of those fans back. Yeah, 258 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:21.960 and maybe where in a season that's been lackluster. 259 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:27.200 I'm writing about that today tonight. Actually, it's it's pretty funny. Yeah, Hello, 260 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:27.600 you're on the air. 261 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:28.399 Nine on the ball.

Had you been trying 265 00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.120 to get in? Oh? 266 00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.759 My phone is anyway?

He's just inundated myself with 275 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:13.919 sports and basketball. But I'll tell you what they whipping 276 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:19.320 that they put on Tennessee the other day. Yeah, just reinforced. 277 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.240 They are just too deep. 278 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.080 Yeah, No, they're really good and they got a point guard. 279 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.480 He could probably play in the NBA right. 280 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.320 Now, he's going and he's going to be in the NBA. 281 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:32.720 He is fantastic. Clayton I think I can't remember his 282 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.399 last name, goold. 283 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:38.919 Yeah, Clayton is his last name, and uh yeah, I 284 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:42.320 mean he is a heads the player. You watch him 285 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:44.639 come up, he sort of reminds me of an older, 286 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.200 a younger Jason Kidd. He had that look about him 287 00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.919 when he comes down to the court. He's got confidence, 288 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:58.559 just boozing out of his pores and and just real quick, 289 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.679 I think Arizona's going to do pretty well in this tournament. 290 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.759 What does that mean? What does that mean? 291 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:07.080 I think they go to it lead eight, and I 292 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:09.759 think that they can. I think they can beat Duke 293 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:11.480 if they play him in a rematch with the. 294 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.960 Sweet Okay, could I have some of that cool aid?

Maybe E lead a replayed Duke, doesn't. 300 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.320 I do believe that if they go that far and 301 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.240 replay Duke, they'll beat them. 302 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.759 Yeah, okay, I wish that we have getting close. Okay, 303 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.919 you got another thing to your point with the Tommy. 304 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.240 I'm gonna have a story about that later today because 305 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:50.039 I asked him the question what happened there and how 306 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.519 did it happened?
