He's an author, 55 00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.759 he's a psychologist. You know, he'll get in and pick 56 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:40.599 our brains a little bit. 57 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.280 Yeah, so you weren't here last week before the psychologists 58 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.680 of the team psychologist, right, And I loved that stuff 59 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.319 because it gets into things that we don't know anything about. Right, 60 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.280 So I said, why not bring him back? Because who's 61 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.719 my guest stone was Lamont because Lehman was that guy 62 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.240 for them back in the day. Yes, so he mentioned, 63 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.520 you know the things he did. I'm gonna want to 64 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.479 ask him what was the thinking back then in the 65 00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.520 processes he went through and to now if it still 66 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.159 applies or is it the new right? 67 00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.479 The new stuff is the new issues that that athletes 68 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:13.960 are facing. 69 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.759 And how would he handle it today? You know, not 70 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.400 to not to criticize, but you know, no, maybe maybe 71 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:20.520 it's the same, maybe it's different. 72 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.719 Maybe yeah, maybe it is Yeah, maybe it is different. 73 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:28.360 But uh, you know, look, certainly the attention to mental 74 00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:32.159 health and all those issues is elevated because of you know, 75 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:35.360 various things that have happened, uh well you know players, 76 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.240 you know, committing suicide and you know or you know, 77 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.400 leaving you know, an Olympic competition like Simon Files or 78 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.319 something like that, because of the mental health issues. 79 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.800 And back in my day, your day, and probably way 80 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.039 before me and you what was the solution. Put a 81 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:50.680 little dirt on. 82 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.599 It, little dirt on it and get up and get 83 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:53.439 back out of the field. 84 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.360 Yeah, and that was the solution, right, It wasn't you know, 85 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.840 what can I do for you? When he thought what 86 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.840 can I do for you? It's more of, you know, 87 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.520 get out there, get out there and put thee up 88 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.960 and play and go play, right, Yeah, And then that's 89 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.840 not so much the case anymore, well at least publicly 90 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.680 it's not. No, because you know, well there's still a 91 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.279 lot of people who think that way. Those and they wonder, 92 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.759 you know, they say, you're a college athlete, what do 93 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.600 you have to worry about? You know, you get out 94 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.279 there and there's people like that who still still believe that. 95 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.319 And you know, I mean the one that that will 96 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.720 always stick in my mind would be, you know that 97 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:30.720 Washington State quarterback that you know played here at Arizona 98 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.879 and against Arizona, played a tough game, lost, and then 99 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.920 a couple of weeks later he had committed suicide. I 100 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.759 can't remember. I don't can't remember that. 101 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.839 Oh god, his brother was his brother had been the 102 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.959 quarterback in Washington State before. I can't think of his name. 103 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.759 But you know, and you think, okay, what what was 104 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.360 so tough in his life that led him. 105 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.920 To Yeah, no, do that. I've said this, I've said 106 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.319 this with the miss Kraska. Is that righta Kraska? Uh? 107 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.759 And I said the number one thing that I've learned 108 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.600 throughout these years is a depression is huge at the 109 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.959 college level, not just academically. And then when you're an athlete, 110 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.000 if you're a very good one, there's some pressure to perform, 111 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.279 and now that you're getting paid a lot of money, right, 112 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.959 it's even more pressure, you know, self inflicted or self 113 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:19.759 self opposed. 114 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.720 Okay, no doubt. I mean, you know, there's there's there's 115 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.240 things where you know, uh, certain individuals maybe just they're 116 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.600 not built to handle, you know, certain things, and and 117 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:31.040 they get. 118 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:31.639 Into these issues. 119 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.519 But it's just more it's I don't want to say prevalent, 120 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.759 because it's probably been out there, it's just more visible. 121 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.519 Well, these days, what do they say about all the 122 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.839 stuff we see with with police getting police, getting fights 123 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:47.079 with with people, people getting fights with police, more things 124 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:51.000 happening socially. Well, they didn't have phones back in the day, right, 125 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.720 you know Now they have phones everywhere, so we see 126 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:54.160 it more. 127 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.439 Often, Yes, we do, we do. So, you know, I 128 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.560 think it's I think it's it's telling that that this 129 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.240 stuff happened. So, you know, someone like Kevin Lehman is good, 130 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:04.519 just put some perspective on it. 131 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:04.800 For us. 132 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:06.920 We're not smart enough to figure you know, a lot 133 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.240 of this stuff out, and some people nobody's smart enough 134 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.839 to figure certain things out. But they're happening out there, 135 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.279 and you know, and and and what we're dealing with 136 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.399 here is that you've got you've got a whole group 137 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.720 of athletes, five hundred what five hundred plus athletes are 138 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.360 going to suddenly find themselves not going to familiar places? Right, 139 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.199 what does that do? Uh for them? You know, all 140 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.240 of a sudden instead of going to going to LA 141 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:29.759 and going to San Francisco, places that you're very familiar with, 142 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.319 now you're going to Point you know. Now you're going 143 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.199 to Waco, You're going to Lubbock, You're going to still Water, 144 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.800 you know, all these places. It's like there's got to 145 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:38.279 be some stress to that. And then you know the 146 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.480 length of the travel as well. So yeah, and not 147 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.519 that I mean the length of the travel, but also 148 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.000 what that means in terms of how you keep up 149 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.920 with all the stuff that you're responsible for. 150 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.600 Sure, sure, But the thing I think we talked about 151 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.839 this last week too, was that what's the one's the 152 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.439 last time you saw or read about a student not 153 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.000 being academically eligible been a long time actively ineligible? And right, 154 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.720 because they have everything made, they everything. 155 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.519 All the support that they get now is way beyond 156 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.560 what they you know, what they used to get, right, 157 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:11.160 And yeah, it's it's it's certainly different. 158 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.319 So it's a good thing. And and you know, still 159 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.800 a tough thing. Yeah, yeah, okay, so we'll get to 160 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.639 that on the second hour. I'm looking forward to the 161 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:19.519 Texas Tech thing. When do they do they play them? 162 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:20.680 When when are they play They're. 163 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.279 They're the first pack Big twelve home game. Okay, so 164 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.839 they're they're after after Utah. Okay, So we'll probably talk 165 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.759 to him again later on as we get closer. 166 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.279 But and that was another reason. 167 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.800 I you know, I looked at this guy and I thought, okay, 168 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.600 let's talk about you know, Arizona's first Big twelve home 169 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.920 games against against Texas tex. 170 00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.519 So I'm still curious too, Like I said yesterday to 171 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.040 you guys, you and who do we have Brett Farrell? Uh, 172 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.240 they're getting into the Big twelve, and to me it 173 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:49.439 sounds more footballer, you know, and table rather than a 174 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.839 Pac twelve because it's more fanatics mean it but but 175 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.920 sec but but but you know what the Big ten, 176 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.759 Big twelve people think about the guys coming in right? Soft? 177 00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:02.959 Not soft? 178 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.480 What's the reputation right? 179 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.199 Because if you were and I can't ask some messing 180 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.439 the wrong guy, what's Arizona's reputation soft? 181 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.519 Yeah, I would agree, Arizona's reputation is a team that 182 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.240 never really was regularly competitive in the in the in 183 00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.480 the Pac twelve, never won a championship. 184 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.839 So so here's Mike cool. With that said, I'm thinking, so, 185 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.600 what makes you think you guys gonna just come on 186 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.319 here and do really well? 187 00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:31.120 Well, here's something I was thinking about today because and 188 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:32.879 I want to get to that something that I've been 189 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:33.960 doing over here that I want to get to a 190 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:40.480 discussion of later the College Football Playoff. But Arizona, we 191 00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:42.799 all sit here think they're on the verge of having 192 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.440 one of the best seasons possibly they've ever had. Right, 193 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.879 that's what we think because we saw this last. 194 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.960 Year, and you've thought this every timement, I'm sure. 195 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.600 Again, but we saw this in the expectation is like 196 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:55.320 the expectation after the other ten one season, there's another one, 197 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.679 another one coming up. So there's a lot of people 198 00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.519 here in town who think Arizona's gonna be really good 199 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.240 and gonna compete in the in the in the in 200 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.320 the in the Big twelve. But what, you know, what 201 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.759 they don't know Arizona, Right, Arizona. I feel like, who's 202 00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:14.639 the fans outside outside of here? Outside of here? Uh 203 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:18.240 you know, or that's outside of the PAC twelve footprint 204 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:21.159 for you know, those matter like Utah probably you know 205 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:22.600 their fans when I think, okay, the A Zone is 206 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:23.799 going to be prett good because they beat the hell 207 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.279 out of its last year Colorado probably you know things 208 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:32.039 you know similarly, and then and then a su obviously 209 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.200 right so, but the other twelve teams in the league, 210 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.600 they're going, who the hell is Arizona? And then additionally, 211 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.000 I think a lot of the national media isn't really 212 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.799 thinking of they think, you know, they see Fafiita and mcmeillan, 213 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.919 and they're gay, and they're getting guys on the list. 214 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.840 But as a whole, Arizona's kind of flying under the 215 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.519 radar and all of this, which is right where it 216 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.639 wants to be, it always has and where it wants 217 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.440 to be, you know. And and again eating to this 218 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.320 thing that I'm working that I'm working on and I've 219 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:04.679 just finished it for a discussion that I want to 220 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.120 have with you later is that you know, people are 221 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.080 talking about you know, who you know, the four you know, 222 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.600 the four uh uh higher seeds for the college football tournament, 223 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.399 who college football playoffs? Who might they be? And then 224 00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.440 you know, talking about the other the other teams and 225 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.039 how the SEC and the Big ten is going to 226 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.200 dominate the you know, the the bracket. Uh, and then 227 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.799 talking about dark horses. You know, Arizona's not even be 228 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.039 mentioned as dark as a dark horse in all of this. 229 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.639 You know, you're talking about Oklahoma State, you know, because 230 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.799 Oklahoma State has a bit of a profile right with 231 00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:41.360 with you know, how they've done last few years. You know, 232 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.639 they're talking about you know, oh miss and and uh. 233 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.080 You know obviously no, you know, Notre Dame's not under 234 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.720 the radar kind of team, but you know, they're not 235 00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:54.759 a top four team. So there's not much conversation about 236 00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.360 is Arizona really good? Nobody's really talking about plays into Arizona's. 237 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.919 That's exactly where they like to be because before when 238 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:04.639 they didn't do so well, guess what they were doing, 239 00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.279 they were talking about Arizona, right and they didn't sit 240 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.000 it didn't to go well, right, right? No, I think 241 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.960 Arizona has always been better when they when they don't talk. 242 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:17.080 About Yeah, when there's not when there's no expectations, right, and. 243 00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.919 There's some here, it's they're lingering that bubbling over. 244 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.200 No, there's a lot here. Steve the thing is inherent Tucson. 245 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.919 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but not not out there, not 246 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.960 out there, which fine. I mean, you can believe the 247 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.000 press clippings. The funny thing about it is, uh, and 248 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.639 you read the day to day I don't read it 249 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:37.639 as much as I used to. People believe the stories 250 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.759 as they should because they're truthful. But there is a 251 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.039 lot of positive going on right right, So Joe Blow, 252 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.200 Joe Blow. Sister Sally is reading these and thinking, oh, 253 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.480 this team is going to be pretty good. What I read, 254 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:51.679 they're pretty good. What I read, they're pretty good. It 255 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.720 reminds me of the summer that Marcus Williams played in 256 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:56.559 the Summer League with Corey and on them, right, and 257 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.200 he scored like fifty one points, but it didn't tell 258 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.440 you is scored a good you and me? Right, and 259 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.320 and he says, well, I hope he does that during 260 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.360 the regular season. He's not going to be playing against 261 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:06.720 you and me. 262 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.360 Exactly, you know. 263 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.600 So they're thinking, oh, he's going to be great this year. 264 00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:17.240 Well not necessarily necessarily, right, But you're reading positive stuff, right, 265 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.159 so what do you what? What? What else can you 266 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:23.440 expect positive stuff until until until it's not until it's 267 00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:27.159 until they go up against Texas Tech and realize. 268 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.840 These guys are pretty good, right, right, because because look 269 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.120 like you know, no matter no matter how good you 270 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.960 think Arizona's going to be, when Texas Tech comes to town, 271 00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:36.159 they're coming. They're coming to town to be Arizona to 272 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:37.440 win because they think they can. 273 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:42.279 Yeah and have right and normally, I mean, come on, 274 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.960 we went to this is going back. We've been here 275 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.480 a long time. In eighty nine, eighty eight, when we 276 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:49.879 went to Texas Tech, I didn't think they'd lose their No, 277 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.200 I didn't think. If you remember, everyone was pretty good 278 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.879 at that time, right and got their. 279 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.240 Ass hattitude, they got it bad. 280 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.960 And you're thinking, how did this happen? Yeah, yeah, because 281 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.759 I remember everyone was pretty good back then. 282 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.440 They were and they and they still had a good 283 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:06.200 season that season.
