Who's gonna win this weekend's game. 11 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.399 I think now that people are kind of seeing the teams, 12 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.119 they kind of be realistic of what's gonna happen. Eight 13 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.159 and a half points. I think it would take crazily. 14 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.640 It would make you take that only because only because 15 00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:47.880 the underdog always plays well. That's the only reason why. 16 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.280 And it's at home, That's the only reason. I don't 17 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:52.960 know if they're a better team. All I know is 18 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.079 four months ago you didn't think issue was a better team. 19 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.079 No, they were picked last in the Big twelve.

Yeah, 44 00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.599 up through the Chuck Cecil season. So we did that game. 45 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.319 I did that game, so that has to be the biggest. 46 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.560 That was the highlight. Yeah, that was that was good. 47 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.560 You know. The night the year before was also big. 48 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.439 Was an eighty five up there and ASU had to 49 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.439 beat Arizona to go to the rose Ball for the 50 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.680 first time and they didn't.

And these kids are 176 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.600 making twice, three, four or five times when we make nothing. 177 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.639 It's unfair or fair whatever. But who would have thought that? 178 00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:46.959 Yeah, we know my dad played in the Tucson Open 179 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.639 quite a few times twenty some straight years and his 180 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.360 biggest paycheck was like, you know, six hundred and fifty 181 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.240 bucks or something like that. 182 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.199 That's a professional tournament, right, I. 183 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:00.399 Know those are the persons in those You is not 184 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.879 what we're used to saying. I think Arnie and Jack 185 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.759 Nicholas and Tiger Woods for TV get back. 186 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.920 Onto like if the season is a good season or 187 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.720 a slum season here and there. 188 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.160 You know, I was talking with a friend of mine. 189 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.800 He has this kid and pop born football, and they 190 00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.279 took they won their championships, and then they went to 191 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.439 the state thing and they lost the state you know, 192 00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.959 but they moved on to some other big championship. 193 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.120 It was the next They had to practice and get there. 194 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.480 Just because they lost one game, you know, it doesn't 195 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.759 mean that they can get down and lose focus. You know, 196 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.120 the kids got a big blond career to stand behind, 197 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.639 and he's just going to practice. He said, well, he 198 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.960 got you this far to get you here, you know, 199 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.279 and you did great to get here, so let's just 200 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.000 keep pushing. 201 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:44.200 You know. 202 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:49.360 That would be my advice for anything, right, for anything. 203 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.600 Now these now these guys have to understand that's what 204 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:56.039 it's about, playing hard. And to me, that's been one 205 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.120 of the issues all year. And maybe I haven't seen 206 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.320 it correctly or whatever, but you just have and played 207 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:00.919 hard enough for it. 208 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.000 And you know, again, you've had a quarterback coming back 209 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:08.120 after a great season, a great receiver, a defensive back. 210 00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.320 Isn't he projected to be to Carrio Davis a number. 211 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.759 In the first round? Do we see this? 212 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.440 I don't see it, but well, I mean he's big, 213 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.759 he's I don't know, he's had both good and bad. 214 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:20.960 Right this season, it seems like he's had a couple 215 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.480 of big moments and a couple of words like wait, 216 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.120 how do you not cover that guy? 217 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:24.440 Right? 218 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.960 So, I don't know, they seem to have a few players, 219 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.639 and again the injuries mounted, and. 220 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.240 Yeah, and maybe it's one of those years where the 221 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.559 gods just say you can't have everything, especially two years 222 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:36.919 in a row. 223 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:42.399 Yeah, stepping into new stadiums, new opponents, new just environments 224 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.279 of playing football that just maybe they just weren't used 225 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.519 to them. Now they're you know, they at least had 226 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.159 that one chance this year, and we'll see how things 227 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:48.720 go next year. 228 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.279 I joked about this earlier because I was on the 229 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.279 Phoenix radio show on Fox up there and he says, 230 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.000 how do they feel about going into the Big twelve? 231 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:57.240 But it says, I think they're petitioning to get back 232 00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.039 in the Western Athletic Conference. 233 00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:03.720 Yeah, they hand can they go backwards? Because because these side? 234 00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.120 Can they join the pack two and maybe make it three? 235 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:07.559 Right? 236 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:09.799 And we joke, of course, but you know, it's been 237 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.279 a tough year. It just has now. Look at basketball, 238 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.159 I know he don't even got basketball yet. 239 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.639 Yeah, we haven't got a basketball it's gonna be people 240 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.600 in this town for basketball haven't have not been used 241 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.679 to losing, like like they might have to be get. 242 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.679 Used to losing. They lose to Duke and then Kansas 243 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.159 smokes him last night, or you know, beats beats Duke. No, 244 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.480 it's gonna be crazy because Duke is pretty darn good. 245 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:33.799 You know, obviously Kansas is too. 246 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.720 And then you talked about Gonzaga losing a couple of 247 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.759 hours ago or an hour ago. Uh, it's gonna be 248 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.080 a crazy year, crazy year. 249 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.279 Yeah, I got on the about halftime in Virginia. West 250 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:48.600 Virginia was down about ten points, right, I just turned 251 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:48.799 it on. 252 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:54.639 Yeah, but another Big twelve team, Yukon. Yukon's lost too straight, right, 253 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:57.440 so we'll see what happens. It's gonna be a fun year. 254 00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.840 And as in Iowa State is also playing really well. 255 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:01.120 Yeah already. 256 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.960 You know, we talked about the Big twelve, but already 257 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.519 they're showing their their true colors here in the first 258 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.399 few weeks. 259 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:08.720 Right, No, it's gonna be fun. It's only November. 260 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.720 That's why I say people who follow Arizona are used 261 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.879 to winning, especially in November. We need to kind of temper, 262 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.120 that temper that because it's gonna be a long year. 263 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:19.519 They're gonna win games they shouldn't win. They're gonna lose 264 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.360 games they shouldn't lose. But it all matters when March 265 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.399 in March.
