Speaker 3: Speaking of the side of the road, you almost had
Speaker 3: to pick me up on the side of the road
Speaker 3: because getting out and all of a sudden, I look
Speaker 3: down on my gas cage and I'm on fumes.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to be here before I
Speaker 2: got here, But yeah, of course you're here. We're at
Speaker 2: the del Song. Are you kidding me? What a fantastic
Speaker 2: place to be at.
Speaker 3: Great place to be at all kinds of TVs. If
Speaker 3: you want to come and watch ball games, bet on them.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a neat facility. We've been talking about
Speaker 3: being here for a long time and it's very cool
Speaker 3: to be here.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the space is like, but it's
Speaker 2: one of two thousand.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but all I know is they got
Speaker 3: a big, big old bar over there. Yea and run
Speaker 3: ahead of use the games right. Uh, you know what,
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure you're gonna show up today, Dodgers. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers were a little shaky, you know what it was shake.
Speaker 3: I was very nervous going into the game last night.
Speaker 2: You should have been. But they did a nice job.
Speaker 2: Five oh right.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, you know, you know, Mookie went yard in
Speaker 3: the first inning, you know, second batter, and you get
Speaker 3: to one nothing leading you go, okay, I know that's
Speaker 3: not a lot, but it's better than being down one zip.
Speaker 3: And then they just took care of business. And the
Speaker 3: you know, the bullpen was incredible. I've been highly critical
Speaker 3: of them all season long, and they you know, they
Speaker 3: it was a bullpen game and they shut them.
Speaker 2: Out right right right. So now game five tomorrow or
Speaker 2: tomorrow five o'clocks one today? Who's playing to day?
Speaker 3: You got the Tigers and the uh and the Indians
Speaker 3: coming up. Indians, the Guardians coming up, uh just about
Speaker 3: about ready to get started. And then you'll you're gonna
Speaker 3: have the the Yankees and the and the Royals.
Speaker 2: Uh so in a couple of hours. Okay, So that's
Speaker 2: that's game five to no. Both of those are games four.
Speaker 2: H Okay.
Speaker 3: Yankees lead Yankees lead to one and the Tiger's lead
Speaker 3: to one. Yankees run the bridge.
Speaker 2: It's just so many people dissecting and what's going on
Speaker 2: with the playoffs already with you know, a couple of
Speaker 2: number ones, ye kind of just not number ones, but
Speaker 2: the better team say, not winning. U good to see
Speaker 2: you hadn't been It's been a while. It's been a while.
Speaker 2: It's been a while. It's been a little cranky this
Speaker 2: week's team. You've been working.
Speaker 3: You have to not only just working, but I'm really
Speaker 3: I'm really pissed at there is on a football team.
Speaker 2: Okay, listen, I want to go there. I was gonna
Speaker 2: go there with you because uh and I said this
Speaker 2: with the guys on Monday. Uh you you you called in.
Speaker 2: I think it was a Monday. I called you the
Speaker 2: monday after they beat Utah. I called that this week
Speaker 2: are premature evaluation because you called in. You says, Hey,
Speaker 2: the one thing I don't want to hear are the
Speaker 2: people ragging on the coaches blah blah blah. Okay, A
Speaker 2: week later, is it okay? No, it's not okay, Well
Speaker 2: it isn't. It isn't okay.
Speaker 3: I think it's it's the realization that that there's still
Speaker 3: a transition going on, and and you know, and when
Speaker 3: you think about, yes, they beat Utah, but they only
Speaker 3: score twenty three points, right, So so really, while they
Speaker 3: beat Utah look good doing it, and the offense looked
Speaker 3: pretty good, they were effective enough to win the game,
Speaker 3: the offense still is having issues and I don't know
Speaker 3: if it's having issues with transition, having issues with how
Speaker 3: they call plays, what they're calling, what they're running. Brent
Speaker 3: Brannan mentioned in the press conference, guys are going in
Speaker 3: the wrong direction. It's just amazing, right, So there's still
Speaker 3: obviously a transition going on, you know, they that's the
Speaker 3: tough part of what we saw. But the good part
Speaker 3: of what we're seeing is that this defense is good.
Speaker 3: The defense is really good. The defense kept them in
Speaker 3: the game. Texas Tech has been averaging forty points a game,
Speaker 3: right And if you know, walking into the stadium, if
Speaker 3: you'd have said, and this is the old cliche, if
Speaker 3: you'd have said, you're giving Texas Tech twenty eight points,
Speaker 3: you're going to take that. And I would have taken
Speaker 3: that all day long, thinking that Arizona offense would be
Speaker 3: able to do outscore that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, they're going to have to be good the
Speaker 2: rest of the season, right because you just don't know
Speaker 2: about the rfence. It is very weird that the offense
Speaker 2: is doing what it's doing because you think that they're
Speaker 2: capable of scoring more. We all know about the number
Speaker 2: one target team. Act is going to be the number
Speaker 2: one target with whether people like it or not. Burnett
Speaker 2: needs to be target number two. Right And and it
Speaker 2: just kind of shows you last year's offense on the
Speaker 2: receiver end, they had teammates, they had Cowing, they had
Speaker 2: they had the book, right, yeah, they had. They had
Speaker 2: a few guys. This year they don't seem to have
Speaker 2: a few guys, although it seems like they have a
Speaker 2: few guys. Well there there's more they do, but there's more.
Speaker 3: The guys that we were doing all the things that
Speaker 3: they did last year, a bunch of them are gone.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: The whole running back room has changed. Even Speedy Luke
Speaker 3: is not is not you know in there anymore. There
Speaker 3: isn't There isn't a Jacob Cowing. You know. Uh, you
Speaker 3: thought Lamonious Craig was was gonna could be that guy.
Speaker 3: But again, if there's a transition, uh and and things
Speaker 3: are different enough that they're still getting used to each
Speaker 3: other offensively, those things aren't showing themselves yet. You know,
Speaker 3: I'd like to think within the next the next couple
Speaker 3: of weeks to three weeks, whatever it takes, you know
Speaker 3: that this offense will begin to click a little. In
Speaker 3: the meantime, you just they got to do enough to
Speaker 3: win these games. These are two hard games coming up.
Speaker 3: They're at buyu on on Saturday. Then they got Colorado
Speaker 3: coming in on the following week.
Speaker 2: Right, right, So if they don't win the two, this
Speaker 2: season is going to be on the brink that that said,
Speaker 2: they could win both because we talked about being doing
Speaker 2: the area. You know, we have Peterson on I think
Speaker 2: on Tuesday or Monday. How how this is an Arizona thing.
Speaker 2: Don't expect them to win they win. Expect them to win,
Speaker 2: they don't win, right, I mean, you've seen it all
Speaker 2: your life and it continues that trend, and the year
Speaker 2: after having prosperity, the year after they don't. I mean
Speaker 2: that's sometimes unexplainable, but here you just have to show them.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to keep my mind from wandering over to
Speaker 3: that thing of is this happening again? After a ten
Speaker 3: win season. It's happening four straight, right, It's happened every
Speaker 3: time so far. And they're three and two right now.
Speaker 3: Arguably we thought they would be three and two at
Speaker 3: this point anyways, but not this three and two.
Speaker 2: No, that's why it makes it look bad because you're
Speaker 2: suspected they shouldn't be they shouldn't be three and two.
Speaker 2: But we okay, we give you they'll be three and two.
Speaker 2: But the thing is that it gives you pause to say,
Speaker 2: is this gonna happen again? And I've said this, I
Speaker 2: don't think I've said this with you since you've been gone.
Speaker 2: But do you trust this team? Right? Well?
Speaker 3: You think you think you can't help, but think that
Speaker 3: Texas Tech was a missed opportunity to really get ahead,
Speaker 3: as they say, get ahead of the chains, right, be
Speaker 3: four and one, uh with a with a win over
Speaker 3: a road win over a top ten team, to be
Speaker 3: four and one, two and zero in the conference, and
Speaker 3: you know, the what if of that is incredible? And
Speaker 3: now it's kind of like buy us a must game?
Speaker 3: Yeah right by b y U is one that I
Speaker 3: think it was that one game that we thought we
Speaker 3: thought Central Florida was more a more.
Speaker 2: Likely loss than BYU. But you thought BYU could be tough.
Speaker 3: So if they don't beat by if they beat BYU, you.
Speaker 2: Know now they might lose the central for it. So
Speaker 2: let me ask you this. They beat Utah? Was it more?
Speaker 2: And this show could be coming from Salt Lake City?
Speaker 2: If we were in Salt Lake City, what do you
Speaker 2: think people in Salt Lake are saying? We blew this?
Speaker 2: This was not about Arizona. We weren't good enough that day. Okay,
Speaker 2: So if that that's a different scenario, right. But was
Speaker 2: it Utah or was it Arizona against Utah where Arizona
Speaker 2: played better and Utah just didn't show up? Or should
Speaker 2: Utah had? They should have won? They should have won.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what who should have win? You
Speaker 2: taught you they had two opportunities in the red zone
Speaker 2: early and didn't score.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: The coach just said, we're gonna I was almost to
Speaker 2: say that word, Uh, We're gonna do this all night.
Speaker 2: This is continued to go and he kind of blew
Speaker 2: it with that, and Arizona got you know what I'm
Speaker 2: saying in the end. Do I think Arizona's a better
Speaker 2: team than Utah? Go there? I do not okay, play
Speaker 2: some times, but close.
Speaker 3: Enough that Utah had to play well to win the game.
Speaker 3: To win the game, right, they couldn't play bad and
Speaker 3: expect to win.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: They played ten times, they say, Arizona win win four
Speaker 3: for six and four, I'll give you that. I'll give
Speaker 3: you that. Okay, Texas Tech give me Arizona. Arizona win
Speaker 3: seven okay. And and then and they had one day.
Speaker 3: They're they're right that one day Arizona clearly a better
Speaker 3: team both sides, right, Yeah, better better team, better quarterback,
Speaker 3: better skilled players, and they just lost.
Speaker 2: Yeah. If you hear any noise in the background, we're
Speaker 2: at Del Soul Consumer Del Sol, come and visit us.
Speaker 2: I know we already have one of our guys who
Speaker 2: listened to us regularly here in town, here in town,
Speaker 2: here at the casino.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here at the Soul Sports Sports Book. So if
Speaker 3: you come in, come looking for us.
Speaker 2: We're uh.
Speaker 3: We were surrounded by televisions the uh the playoff game
Speaker 3: that is in the top of the first inning.
Speaker 2: They just put it up on the big screen.
Speaker 3: A great place to come and sit, have a drink,
Speaker 3: maybe put put a little some little some some on
Speaker 3: a on a couple of these games. Uh, there there's
Speaker 3: an an NFL NFL game tonight. You got the forty
Speaker 3: nine ers, the damn forty nine ers against the Seahawks
Speaker 3: at it starting about five twenty or five thirty.
Speaker 2: Well, there's so many things that can we'll go back
Speaker 2: to the game now and moving forward that we're concerning.
Speaker 2: I had never I've been in this business a while.
Speaker 2: I remember Sean Miller talking about his team, I don't
Speaker 2: know two three years in. This team can't dribble, can't pass,
Speaker 2: can't shoot, and it was bad. It was like, holy crap.
Speaker 2: And then Rennan says, this team doesn't know where they're going. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how did that sit with you? I was just you
Speaker 2: were there.
Speaker 3: You were disconcerting to hear all that, because he's one
Speaker 3: being honest. Yeah, and what are you doing being honest?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, it was very I'm like, what the
Speaker 2: hell is going on over there? What did you?
Speaker 3: What did you do in the two weeks leading up
Speaker 3: to the you know, the time you had off because
Speaker 3: you look great, you know against you and maybe you
Speaker 3: didn't look so great against Utah, but because you won
Speaker 3: the game, we thought you looked great.
Speaker 2: Hey, that's the title of the story right there. Maybe
Speaker 2: it was Utah, but the thing is they got to
Speaker 2: win and they're moving on. And I don't know how much
Speaker 2: the new offensive coordinator Plait apart. Yeah, it different. Everybody
Speaker 2: was applauding the hell out of it on the Utah game,
Speaker 2: and then the week later was what the hell just happened?
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is, it gave you the sense that
Speaker 3: all things were fixed after the Utah game. And I
Speaker 3: think I when I called, you know, the Monday after
Speaker 3: the game, I think I said something along those lines that, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know, they took the two weeks, they they handled
Speaker 3: their issues.
Speaker 2: Let's move on.
Speaker 3: You know, we're looking at possibly a special season coming up.
Speaker 3: And then they went right back to where they were
Speaker 3: not as bad as Kansas State because the Kansas State
Speaker 3: the defense played poorly as well. But again, look at
Speaker 3: that game Kansas Kansas State scored thirty one points. Again,
Speaker 3: if somebody, if you keep a team, you liked to
Speaker 3: think that Arizona can keep a team. They're around thirty points,
Speaker 3: that they have a really good to winning. Sure, and
Speaker 3: and again let's let's let's let's be real about this.
Speaker 3: You know, the uh, the Texas Techai that last touchdown, right,
Speaker 3: you know, was it was a you know, it was
Speaker 3: a backbreaker, but you know they got that got him
Speaker 3: to twenty eight points. But that was a you know,
Speaker 3: that was a twenty one twenty one, uh eighteen game
Speaker 3: at that point.
Speaker 2: So so the one thing that I said, and I
Speaker 2: said a week and I kind of don't want to
Speaker 2: do it again, but I will, uh the stars, the
Speaker 2: stars disappointed teammate doesn't fumble any fumble, Yeah, okay, And
Speaker 2: then you have you have the kicking the kick he missed,
Speaker 2: he missed a field.
Speaker 3: He gets Player of the week after kicking a field
Speaker 3: if he makes that field, Galvez, who wins the game.
Speaker 2: It's a different tone of the game, right, And then
Speaker 2: your quarterback continues to struggle, and I think that you guys,
Speaker 2: you fans and things I witnessed, this is this is
Speaker 2: this disheartening because last year, the ball bounced fantastic every
Speaker 2: where every week, everywhere, every week, right in the final
Speaker 2: moments of final seven weeks. What it really did, it
Speaker 2: really did and then you kind of have to appreciate
Speaker 2: maybe that's what it was. It was just a magical
Speaker 2: year and they played well. Now this year they're trying
Speaker 2: to find. No, he's not playing well, I don't know
Speaker 2: what anybody well, he.
Speaker 3: He's he's you feel like he's pressing a little bit.
Speaker 3: He's trying to make throws that he didn't have to
Speaker 3: make last year. Right, he keeps throwing that. He keeps
Speaker 3: throwing that ball into the corner of the end zone
Speaker 3: that's been picked off what I think three times.
Speaker 2: Now he's going deeper, long more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, you're not you're you know, you're you're seeing
Speaker 3: the mid the mid range throws to team act but
Speaker 3: not to anybody else. Uh, you know, Uh, it's it's
Speaker 3: it's it's been, it's been difficult to watch.
Speaker 2: And let's talk about about our guest today. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we wanted to have a fantastic guest. We got one,
Speaker 2: uh Dr Robins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, doctor Robbie Robbins, the UH now former University of
Speaker 3: Arizona president.
Speaker 2: Huge sports fan.
Speaker 3: You know, he was a guy that you saw at
Speaker 3: all the UH at all the sporting events front row
Speaker 3: kind of guy.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: For those of you who don't know his background, he
Speaker 3: was a junior college quarter back growing up in Mississippi,
Speaker 3: had dreams of being the next Archie manning at Mississippi,
Speaker 3: UH got injured, didn't play beyond beyond junior college. Big
Speaker 3: fan though, and UH and and he showed that he
Speaker 3: was involved in deeply involved in all the hirings and
Speaker 3: UH and things going on as as best as we
Speaker 3: can tell, actually made the decisions for a couple of
Speaker 3: the coaching hires. You like, you kind of think he
Speaker 3: let he's he has left the program in a better
Speaker 3: place than it was.
Speaker 2: Oh, with a question when he got here.
Speaker 3: Now we understand though that he was obviously partially responsible
Speaker 3: for for.
Speaker 2: What happened with UH with Kevin Someling.
Speaker 3: But big Fan, UH, we promised we were going to
Speaker 3: stick to sports today. So we're going to do that
Speaker 3: where we're not going to go into all the other controversy.
Speaker 2: You bring up something, but the thing about it, and
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to give doctor elia had not had
Speaker 2: it not been for someone, you would not have had
Speaker 2: fish and you would not have corrected it correctly.
Speaker 3: Right And again again, who didn't think that Kevin Someone
Speaker 3: was a good hire at the time? Right, So that
Speaker 3: that's as much on Kevin Someone as was.
Speaker 2: The phones are going to be open, so you can right, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: we're not getting calls. We got to call it.

Speaker 3: so we're here at this. We're here at the Soul

Speaker 3: Sancha's Revenge and the Creeper featuring Maestro Dobell Tequila. Those
Speaker 3: are seven fifty. So come and give those a shot.
Speaker 3: Hang out here with us, Come come in here and
Speaker 3: watch the baseball Game's on right now, the Indians of
Speaker 3: taking an elite in the top of the first inning
Speaker 3: on the Tigers. You got the NFL game coming on
Speaker 3: at five point fifteen. It's the forty nine Ers at
Speaker 3: the Seahawks forty nine ers or three and a half
Speaker 3: point favorites the over runners forty eight and a half
Speaker 3: if you're inclined to throw something down on that. And
Speaker 3: then at five o'clock the Yankees and the Royals, and
Speaker 3: that's also a game four coming up.
Speaker 2: I wonder who the my Sancho revenge is for if
Speaker 2: you know what it means, you know what it means, right,
Speaker 2: hopeing it's never happened to you, exactly exactly. So let's
Speaker 2: kind of go back to football. We'll talk a little
Speaker 2: more about basketball because you were at Red Blue. I
Speaker 2: was at Red Blue. Uh, but you know football needs
Speaker 2: to turn the corner, yes, me, after how many weeks you.
Speaker 3: Have to be going well, yeah, well you're five weeks
Speaker 3: into the season and uh, you know again, if there's
Speaker 3: a transition that's still taking place, then maybe it's you know,
Speaker 3: a lot more to it, a lot harder than any
Speaker 3: of us thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2: Well, the thing that I brought up this week after
Speaker 2: seeing what happened, and you know, I'm kind of in
Speaker 2: the psychology of the crap that I follow, and you
Speaker 2: you kind of you put poo it or not. But
Speaker 2: I was watching it and I'm thinking they're missing something.
Speaker 2: They're missing something. And I'm not gonna say offensively or defensely,
Speaker 2: it's not that they're not playing hard. To me, they're
Speaker 2: not just not playing hard. And you know that comes
Speaker 2: to me that comes from either they're not respecting Rennan
Speaker 2: or they're not playing hard for the man or they're
Speaker 2: just not playing hard, and it's like they don't care.
Speaker 2: And I said this when you were there before. I
Speaker 2: think where they just it was indifference against Kansas State rights.
Speaker 2: Just to me, it was nothing. They just had nothing
Speaker 2: else to the first drive. And I don't want to
Speaker 2: say that's true, but that's just how I feel. Well,
Speaker 2: I I I'm Kansas State. That's that's so long ago
Speaker 2: and I barely remember it.
Speaker 3: But but you know, yeah, it looked like they lost
Speaker 3: the interest in that game when they you know, when
Speaker 3: they start getting beat up the Texas Techa. It was
Speaker 3: like they just couldn't, right, they just couldn't. They couldn't
Speaker 3: do things. They couldn't move the ball. They they couldn't
Speaker 3: make the great throw. They couldn't make the cat you
Speaker 3: know that that flea flip flicker that they threw.
Speaker 2: It was interest from being a touchdown. Yeah, right, well,
Speaker 2: and and they've been interest from.
Speaker 3: Stuff like that, you know, uh, you know, just some
Speaker 3: some things that you know, the missed field goal, uh uh.
Speaker 2: Tyler Loop has missed a couple of key field goals.
Speaker 3: He keeps getting Player of the Week, but he's missed
Speaker 3: a couple of key field.
Speaker 2: Goals and he's in his money. Right, you want you'd
Speaker 2: rather have them than not have it, right.
Speaker 3: So to me, it's just there's just as you say,
Speaker 3: there's just a little something missing. I don't think it's effort.
Speaker 3: I really don't. It may look like where would you
Speaker 3: go with it? It may it may look like effort
Speaker 3: because it's things that if he just would have done
Speaker 3: this or that. I don't know that it's so much
Speaker 3: that they didn't try to do that. It's as much
Speaker 3: did they know what to do those kinds of things.
Speaker 3: It looks like it looks like the receivers aren't getting open,
Speaker 3: like like you know, Jacob Cowen was open all year
Speaker 3: long last year. Right, he's had to And that's the thing.
Speaker 3: Is he when he gets that time? Is he looking
Speaker 3: to do too much?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Is there a receiver that he can throw to? But
Speaker 3: he says, well, I've got time, so I'm gonna go over
Speaker 3: here those kinds of things. Is he does does norfal fet?
Speaker 3: Is he expecting too much of himself?
Speaker 2: Well? And that's translating into some ineffective And I joke
Speaker 2: with this because the gods, the gods, uh, the Jinx
Speaker 2: gods show up every now and again, and you guys
Speaker 2: are still cursed. I still believe it's something that it's
Speaker 2: just you've been Arizona. If that's a verb, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: use that as a verb. And that said, well, you're
Speaker 2: only gonna have certain success and this is not their
Speaker 2: day because it happens. I mean, come on to me.
Speaker 2: This was like a basketball game that I've seen a
Speaker 2: thousand times. Oh, we just show up, you play because
Speaker 2: we're Arizona, and we'll kind of uh, you know, the
Speaker 2: half asset if you will, yea, and but you know what,
Speaker 2: no problem, we'll come back and do it. And they did.
Speaker 2: They took the lead. Okay, they're gonna win this. It's
Speaker 2: not gonna be pretty. And then they gave it up.
Speaker 2: They spent all their emotions and then they gave it up.
Speaker 2: But Arizona has that. Arizona football has absolutely no business
Speaker 2: no doing that. No, no, no. But you win ten
Speaker 2: games last year, you think you might be able to
Speaker 2: you know, gives you that self awareness that shouldn't be there.
Speaker 3: Sure, no, I yeah, yeah, it's I'm gonna stick with
Speaker 3: the transition thing until I see something different. I'm not
Speaker 3: I'm not seeing a lack of effort.
Speaker 2: How many times can you tell your wife you love
Speaker 2: her and then she believes you. You're five weeks in
Speaker 2: plus the spring, I love you, I love you, love you, well,
Speaker 2: prove it, prove it. Yeah, and then then this comes up.
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I mean it's Steve. There's things wrong. Certain,
Speaker 3: there's definitely there's there's definitely things wrong with the offense
Speaker 3: that that things aren't happening for the offense. Whatever it is,
Speaker 3: if it's if it's scheme, if it's communicating the scheme,
Speaker 3: if it's understanding the scheme, if it's.
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem that it's that different. I mean really,
Speaker 2: because they're they're going crazy. And then okay, so let's go.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the defense now and playing fantastic rank
Speaker 2: if that's the right word for it. Now they lose
Speaker 2: two guys, two bigger guys in the in the defensive
Speaker 2: back the field. Are those guys coming back? Duke Stukes
Speaker 2: has done and so is h I don't know about
Speaker 2: Gunner Gunnery.
Speaker 3: Well, he was on crutches. That didn't look good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So those are two dudes that you kind of need,
Speaker 2: although you know everyone that's shade every man the next
Speaker 2: man up? What else can you do? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So yeah, how effective is the defense going to be
Speaker 3: going forward?
Speaker 2: I hear you? I yeah, I mean when I when
Speaker 2: I start Gunner.
Speaker 3: Model and out of COmON the locker room because our
Speaker 3: seats are on that end. And I just happened to
Speaker 3: look down and I said, this guy crutches, that's Gunner Maldonado.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, no, yes, you know.
Speaker 3: And it's the defense. You can't lose people. Wow, they
Speaker 3: don't have the depth to be losing a bunch of guys.
Speaker 2: They don't.
Speaker 3: And you know, we're seeing, we're seeing how depth is
Speaker 3: playing such a role.
Speaker 2: Not everywhere, right.
Speaker 3: You know, Vanderbilt beats Alabama because their front line players
Speaker 3: can compete with anybody. But it's when you start losing
Speaker 3: those guys that you can't keep up. And then Alabama
Speaker 3: part brings in another five star and you've got a
Speaker 3: walk on coming in. But you know, what happened with
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt and Alabama showed that there's not the gap that
Speaker 3: so many people predicted was going to happen with Nil
Speaker 3: and the transfer portal. In fact, the gap has closed.
Speaker 2: Well, you haven't even mentioned that the quarterback at Bannerbolts
Speaker 2: a homie hop me from Albuquque. Yeah, homie from Albucrique.
Speaker 2: Wo just last year played for New Mexico State and
Speaker 2: and got him to a bowl game. I mean, and
Speaker 2: coach Kills now with Vanderbilt. I mean it's funny because, uh,
Speaker 2: I still think that the big team's top teams think
Speaker 2: a lot of themselves show up, don't no problem, it
Speaker 2: doesn't work out. I mean, look at what happened last week.
Speaker 2: You know, Arkansas Beach, Tennessee, Missouri gets slaughtered.
Speaker 3: Now it was to to Texas and m but they
Speaker 3: got slaughtered. You know, they got slaughtered. It's gonna continue.
Speaker 2: Miami should have lost, right, It's gonna continue to happen.
Speaker 2: It's just just what it is. I think that was
Speaker 2: it with the offense defense. And what do you think
Speaker 2: about the offensive coordinator coordinator situation? I don't you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know, Steve. I mean, it's that's that's probably
Speaker 2: a solution.
Speaker 3: But but yeah, I mean, Lootino Babers knows what he's doing.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, he knows what he's doing.
Speaker 3: It maybe you know, the complaint I heard most about
Speaker 3: him was that he's still running an offense from the nineties,
Speaker 3: which I'm not.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Their offense looked. Their offense doesn't look old. But you know,
Speaker 3: he's he didn't all of a sudden become a dumb coach,
Speaker 3: right right. He knows how to coach an offense. Now,
Speaker 3: is there something being lost in the translation of bringing
Speaker 3: along this other guy?
Speaker 2: Is is is.
Speaker 3: Brent Brennan seeing something that says, I'm not liking the
Speaker 3: plays that that the Dinos calling. Let's let's accelerate. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, the new guy coming in and calling plays.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but that's it. That's all part of
Speaker 3: how them trying to figure out what the offense should
Speaker 3: be and can be doing.
Speaker 2: Right, right, and we'll see that was that was too off?
Speaker 2: Now right, he's this is second opportunity right to do
Speaker 2: something and we'll see. Now let's go to another third
Speaker 2: thing that I have my concern on. And and you know,
Speaker 2: color Bill, whether he's listening to us or not, that
Speaker 2: that crowd, you were part of that crowd.
Speaker 3: Disappointing, so disappointing. What are you supposed to do?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: You go on the road, you beat the top ten team,
Speaker 3: you whether forgetting what happened going into that game? How
Speaker 3: much more how more excited could you have been about
Speaker 3: Arizona football right than that? And and and then to
Speaker 3: still say I'm not showing up right right, I mean,
Speaker 3: come on, but we've seen this. I'll throw my I'm
Speaker 3: gonna throw my brother under the bus right now. Okay,
Speaker 3: So my brother Rick, who you know, he's old, he's
Speaker 3: had back surgery, he's you know, it's hard for him
Speaker 3: to go to.
Speaker 2: Games and stuff.
Speaker 3: Uh, we go to lunch as we always do on
Speaker 3: on on Wednesdays, and and we sit down at lunch
Speaker 3: and the first thing he says is, damn games at
Speaker 3: eight o'clock. I'm not going. I'm like, really, really, you're no.
Speaker 3: This was before the Utah game, because they had announced
Speaker 3: the eight o'clock start gamn eight o'clock game. I'm forgetting,
Speaker 3: I'm not going. And I said, okay, mister, eight o'clock
Speaker 3: is too late. What the hell are you gonna be?
Speaker 3: You're gonna be that fan that we always talk about.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be that fan who knows we do.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So then by the end of lunch, he, you know,
Speaker 3: he had kind of eased off on it. Then Utah wins.
Speaker 3: All right, so he sends me this text about how
Speaker 3: proud he is of the team, what a great effort,
Speaker 3: so inspiring. These guys are great. And I said, okay,
Speaker 3: you're going mister eight o'clock. Are you going to the
Speaker 3: game or not? I didn't say hey, that was nice.
Speaker 3: I just said, are you going to the game or not?
Speaker 3: And he, of course he went. But that's it. That's
Speaker 3: who the fans are. That's who they are, that's what
Speaker 3: they now. Guess what's gonna happen with the Colorado game.
Speaker 3: It's too hot? Yeah, I don't want to sit in
Speaker 3: the sun.
Speaker 2: They're sold out, So I think the thing about a
Speaker 2: jay for the Colorado game, it's not more about Arizona.
Speaker 2: It's a curiosity of Colorado, right, which is fine, sell out, sellout,
Speaker 2: and if they pull off that win, how but how
Speaker 2: many people are gonna be happy?
Speaker 3: But Steve, how many people would take its? Still aren't
Speaker 3: going to go?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Possibly those people that sit up in the upper deck
Speaker 3: on the east side. We're in the sun the entire game.
Speaker 3: How many of those seats are gonna are gonna stay
Speaker 3: empty because they said, now it's too hot. Well, the
Speaker 3: other game was too late, So I didn't come to
Speaker 3: that one. Then why did you buy tickets if you're
Speaker 3: gonna always look for a reason to not go to
Speaker 3: a game?
Speaker 2: Right? Well, you saw on the thread that with the
Speaker 2: in terms of I said, it's a Goldilocks fans, this
Speaker 2: one's just right, this one's too hard, this is too hot,
Speaker 2: this is too late, this one's just right. And how
Speaker 2: many times you heard this is just right? The conditions
Speaker 2: will we find if they win? The thing about it?
Speaker 2: We see it on TV. Utah fans showed up, Kansas
Speaker 2: State showed up. You know, b YU fans, they're gonna
Speaker 2: show up. Where don't they show up?
Speaker 3: They're waiting for you, and they don't care who's coming in, right,
Speaker 3: they're waiting for whoever is coming in. And Arizona fans
Speaker 3: are gonna have to get to that. But you know,
Speaker 3: somebody I talked to you in the flight department said
Speaker 3: we're years away from Arizona fan being like that, and
Speaker 3: it may never happen.
Speaker 2: Wait, Jay, you've been hearing all your life. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: never happened. Yeah, no, it never has. We talked about this.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna be here for certain things? That's one
Speaker 2: of the things that you've never be around for, you know, occasional,
Speaker 2: occasional things. And this is not basketball. Football still needs
Speaker 2: that to.
Speaker 3: Support, right, No, absolutely, And and I don't know when
Speaker 3: Arizona fan or if Arizona look Steve, they did it
Speaker 3: for basketball. And I know we're talking fifteen thousand versus
Speaker 3: fifty thousand. And I'm not saying you got to sell
Speaker 3: out every game with you, but when you're coming off
Speaker 3: of a win like they were coming off of against
Speaker 3: against Utah and you're five thousand seats short, yeah, what
Speaker 3: the hell is wrong with.
Speaker 2: You here in t uj If it was a seven
Speaker 2: o'clock game, six o'clock, it would have been the same.
Speaker 3: It would have been the same thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: the eight o'clock thing is an excuse. And seeing, here's
Speaker 3: the thing that UCLA and USC aren't coming to town anymore,
Speaker 3: right they would people come out for that because they
Speaker 3: were UCLA and USC.
Speaker 2: Washington to a degree.
Speaker 3: But even the Oregon games, you know, they weren't necessarily
Speaker 3: you know, filling up the state for Oregon. You know,
Speaker 3: it's like just the mystique of USC and UCLA. People
Speaker 3: will come to that game. But even though even even
Speaker 3: when they sucked. Arizona fan has got to come out
Speaker 3: to see Arizona, not to come out and say, well,
Speaker 3: let's see who they're playing, because because the when you
Speaker 3: say Iowa States coming in, Central Florida's coming in, West
Speaker 3: Virginia's coming in, those things aren't gonna pump anybody up.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm curious. You don't need to tell me
Speaker 2: who you talk to. But that's probably the you know,
Speaker 2: in the in the in the building, there just the
Speaker 2: overall scape of scope of the people thinking, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a while and might not be in my lifetime.
Speaker 2: What can we do? Well, you kind of try to
Speaker 2: do it already and just go to the games even
Speaker 2: if you can. The way free tickets, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: know if they would use them, and we'll go down
Speaker 2: for Colorado because people have bought about it, about about
Speaker 2: all the takes. You'll see if they actually use them.
Speaker 3: Right, all rights, take our next break. We're here at
Speaker 3: the Casino del Sold Sports Sports Book. Come and join us,
Speaker 3: have a drink, make a bet, hang out with us.

Speaker 3: his brain returned to mush if he stopped.

Speaker 2: had a hearty. We've always been nice to him though,
Speaker 2: you never know. We're always nice to him because I
Speaker 2: got him a book, and I'll say, have you started
Speaker 2: to read this damn thing now? Yes?
Speaker 3: Time, you know, I remember my first interview with him
Speaker 3: when he first got here. In my job for biz Tussan,
Speaker 3: I did do a profile of him and they gave
Speaker 3: me exactly twenty minutes to him and they said, you
Speaker 3: got twenty minutes? What man?
Speaker 2: Maybe it was a half an hour. I don't remember.
Speaker 3: Whatever the time was, I knew I was cramming every
Speaker 3: had all the questions, all the questions I had to
Speaker 3: cram in.
Speaker 2: There we get I get to I get to the.
Speaker 3: Time, and uh, the the media guy that was with
Speaker 3: him is looking at he's pointing at his watch like
Speaker 3: you're out of time, and I, you know, so I said,
Speaker 3: thank you, Doc Crams, appreciate all the time. He goes,
Speaker 3: we're not talking about sports. So no, I didn't get
Speaker 3: any more time. And this guy said, no, you gotta go,
Speaker 3: and so he was. He was kind of bummed that
Speaker 3: I didn't get around his talking sports with him. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was pretty funny. So he's a big sports fan,
Speaker 3: big sports fan. You got another guy here.
Speaker 2: One of our calls up Vic, another Dodger, and I thought, I,
Speaker 2: you know, I said, we're gonna do the show tomorrow.
Speaker 2: VIC may not show up if they lose tonight and
Speaker 2: Jay might not show up. I'm gonna be here by myself.
Speaker 2: I'd be here.
Speaker 3: I would be here, but man I would have I
Speaker 3: would have been seriously down. I look going in. I
Speaker 3: did not want the Dodgers to have to play the Padres.
Speaker 3: I saw the Padres in person, all right, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: you know, I was sitting next to my my wife
Speaker 3: at the game, and I said, I don't want to
Speaker 3: see these guys, So tell me.
Speaker 2: Explain to me. Maybe Vick will come on later. Explain
Speaker 2: to me. The Machado incident with the ball one, and
Speaker 2: then you know, then the dugout and then the the
Speaker 2: left fielder who caught the ball and kind of taunted
Speaker 2: them or whatever. That was fantastic, by the way, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: It wasn't. There was nothing fantastic about that. And Manny
Speaker 3: Machata is a big giant. The blank c k if
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And I think, so, what
Speaker 3: did he do? I didn't even know what he threw.
Speaker 3: He threw a ball into the dog, but he threw
Speaker 3: he threw it pretty hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard Yesterordy. It was not that hard.
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't. He didn't roll the ball in Okay,
Speaker 3: he was. He didn't toss it and he because he's
Speaker 3: a jerk, he was thrown it at somebody in the
Speaker 3: dog had some context he was. There was a lot
Speaker 3: of chirping going on throughout the game and here and
Speaker 3: and what happened was was that uh uh uh.
Speaker 2: Machada threw the ball and then.
Speaker 3: Just the ball that they throw around the infield, and
Speaker 3: he threw and he throws a ball at the dugout
Speaker 3: and again that's not where he would normally throw that ball, right,
Speaker 3: So he throws the ball and then he gets struck
Speaker 3: out and the Dodger pitcher chirps at him. He's chirping
Speaker 3: back thro all you on nature. Jerks and Profart started
Speaker 3: it all when he kept makes the catch.
Speaker 2: People know what did he catch a ball or not?
Speaker 3: He's standing there, he doesn't show the ball, he's he's
Speaker 3: talking to the fans.
Speaker 2: That's you know.
Speaker 3: So then later in the game, that's when somebody threw
Speaker 3: something at him, and then that would led to all
Speaker 3: the other things that happened in that game.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have I.
Speaker 3: Don't even know Jerks and Profile, I didn't know. I
Speaker 3: hadn't even heard of him until I saw him when
Speaker 3: I went to the Poets game a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: And then he does that. You know, at Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 3: what do you expect fans to do. They're gonna rank,
Speaker 3: They're gonna get on you, they're gonna rank. Two fans
Speaker 3: got arrested out there because of the stuff that was
Speaker 3: going on out there, So you know, so he does that,
Speaker 3: of course, and so it just it just went on,
Speaker 3: and so the team looked and all of that on
Speaker 3: top of the fact that these two teams just don't
Speaker 3: like each other.
Speaker 2: Again with two guys being the rest of the Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 2: let's come Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well too, I think two guys from the same row. Vin,
Speaker 3: were you one of those guys?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's funny, he said, that's one of his players.
Speaker 3: So look, it's a it's a hated rivalry and good,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't mind the rivalry. You know, they're
Speaker 3: they're there are one hundred miles from each other, right,
Speaker 3: they're both really good. The rivalry is great, but you know,
Speaker 3: it's become like an a s u as on a
Speaker 3: football rivalry, right, it's going over the line, right, brother,
Speaker 3: But you know it's going over the line sometimes, and
Speaker 3: the stuff that happened the other night went over the line.
Speaker 3: It really did on both sides. I'm not saying, you know,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are are blameless than any of this. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to say that. What I am saying, though,
Speaker 3: is I know I didn't like Manny machadav when he
Speaker 3: was a Dodger, Right, he was a Dodger, and I
Speaker 3: didn't like him back then, so, you know, because I
Speaker 3: just knew he was that he's a big steaming pile
Speaker 3: of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay, we'll see that Tomorrow's night. Tomorrow night,
Speaker 2: the game, the game decider, right, yeah, yeah, it's what happens. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a yeah, it's uh, you know, it's a game five.
Speaker 2: It's at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 3: That means nothing, right, you know, they've you know, they
Speaker 3: split at each at each team's field both.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: They the Projects blasted the Dodgers in Game two ten
Speaker 3: to one. The Dodgers blasted them last night in San
Speaker 3: Diego eight to nothing. Whatever happens tomorrow night, nobody should
Speaker 3: be surprised.
Speaker 2: Padres blowout.
Speaker 3: Project is close win Dodgers, close win Dodgers blow out
Speaker 3: you got especially this year, he got you Darvis starting
Speaker 3: for for uh the Padres, you got yellow motives starting
Speaker 3: for the uh for the uh the Dodgers. It should
Speaker 3: it should be a great game. And I gotta lock in.
Speaker 3: I just I just realized that the game is is
Speaker 3: at five o'clock tomorrow. My wife and I were going
Speaker 3: to go out to an anniversary dinner and now we're
Speaker 3: know what you know? She says, we're watching the game.

Speaker 2: the boss whatever the boss wants. Yeah, exactly, Okay, so
Speaker 2: we can't take any calls here. We're at the casino
Speaker 2: Dell Soul, one of our new stops.
Speaker 1: Here.

Speaker 2: shows down the road if we're halfway decent at think yep, uh,
Speaker 2: as we move forward for the football season, right, it
Speaker 2: will promote today's tonight's game. Yes, forty nine Ers and Seahawks.
Speaker 2: Whares that game at.
Speaker 3: It's in it's in Seattle, so you know again, I
Speaker 3: mean the forty nine ers, they're they're in a tough spot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're two and three, right, they lose this game now
Speaker 3: they're two and four and Seattle is a tough place
Speaker 3: to win when Seattle's.
Speaker 2: Not even any good. And they're good this year, right,
Speaker 2: they're halfway decent. Right, And in San Francisco we lost
Speaker 2: done to the Super Bowl a few times, yeah, recently, yep.
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So if you if you want to reach us and
Speaker 3: have us a talk about any topics you have, you
Speaker 3: can send us an email, our email addresses on our
Speaker 3: is on our twitter feed. Some of you have our
Speaker 3: our personal phone number, our personal cell phone numbers. Can
Speaker 3: send us a text.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: We're trying to figure out a way to be able
Speaker 3: to take calls to you know, we can call out.
Speaker 3: We're gonna call doctor Robinson. He's gonna do this this
Speaker 3: interview over the phone. But we can't take calls until
Speaker 3: we get this figured out.
Speaker 2: Well, let's we hit one of our guys is here. Vic?
Speaker 2: He called, I think he called in yesterday. I wanted
Speaker 2: to see if you've changed your mind on Noah. Vic.
Speaker 2: He was, he was, he's you know, Vic, mister happy.
Speaker 2: It was a little critical on on Noah in a
Speaker 2: sense that you know he hasn't played well. You still
Speaker 2: behind that, I am, He's uh Stee. We talked it's
Speaker 2: the star factor.
Speaker 16: Uh, Jay, go back to the Dodgers when their stars
Speaker 16: didn't show up, they lost, and the and the Padre
Speaker 16: guys came through the stars, and yesterday the Dodger stars
Speaker 16: showed up. It's a and I had all I mean,
Speaker 16: I still do. This is one thing I haven't waivered on.
Speaker 16: I think Noah's gonna find it. H Jay, I disagree
Speaker 16: with you on on the coaching change. They've had those
Speaker 16: guys since last January and and you can go out
Speaker 16: to the park and run routes and then get to
Speaker 16: know your guys and that's what they do. This is, uh,
Speaker 16: this is something else that's going on here, whether it's
Speaker 16: a personal thing with t Mac and Noah just getting
Speaker 16: on the same page with the other guys. I'm kind
Speaker 16: of with everybody else in Tucson. Where's the little ten
Speaker 16: yard slant and a little fifty Everything seems to be
Speaker 16: either a run or a forty yard pass downfield and
Speaker 16: that's not working.
Speaker 3: And I think, you know the I guess the point
Speaker 3: I'm trying to make regarding transition is that it's it's
Speaker 3: it's it's more or less of just not being on
Speaker 3: the same page for some reason, and I don't know why.
Speaker 3: And you're right, they've been you know, they had a
Speaker 3: full spring to go through it, they had a fall
Speaker 3: camp to go through. But again, nothing. It's still hard
Speaker 3: until you start doing that stuff in games. And so
Speaker 3: you think you know what you're supposed to do until
Speaker 3: you've got a defense out there trying to make you
Speaker 3: do something else. And so I think there's there might
Speaker 3: be something to that. But you're right, were five games in,
Speaker 3: you shouldn't still be running in the wrong direction.
Speaker 16: And I'll tell you I've been around teams. I've told
Speaker 16: you guys, I was with those great Domingo's high school teams.
Speaker 16: It didn't take it took five seconds to know they
Speaker 16: were good and and and it took five seconds to
Speaker 16: know when I was with a bad team.
Speaker 2: Okay, so your fight week, shuld is this team any good?
Speaker 2: Just good? Maybe right, and much much less than you
Speaker 2: thought they would be.
Speaker 16: Much less. I had so much faith in this uh
Speaker 16: going in. And you know what, I had faith because
Speaker 16: I'm telling you, the character of these.
Speaker 2: Kids, anybody you know them because you know the family
Speaker 2: or whatever.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I thought the character of these guys were going
Speaker 16: to show up and and and it just hasn't come
Speaker 16: that way yet.
Speaker 2: Gosh darn it. But I'm telling you, I don't want
Speaker 2: to give.
Speaker 1: Up on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's why I wanted to go to Jay.
Speaker 2: Can it be fixed? And how soon that? Well, you's
Speaker 2: got to be.
Speaker 3: Fixed by day after tomorrow, so you turn out of time.
Speaker 2: You can't lose.
Speaker 3: Look, if you want to achieve the things that you
Speaker 3: want to you expected to achieve at the beginning of
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 2: Now your your margin for air, uh is gone? Right.
Speaker 3: You gave yourself a margin for air in the Utah game,
Speaker 3: but you lost it. You know, you know you if
Speaker 3: they're three and three and two and and and uh
Speaker 3: and one and two in the league is not is
Speaker 3: not where you want to be and that there you know,
Speaker 3: if they do that, they're they're a seven and five team.
Speaker 2: Uh something like that. Don't agree with you.
Speaker 3: Time is ticking and you better do it right away
Speaker 3: or else or out or else right because they're gonna
Speaker 3: and this is a tough one because Bay's undefeated and
Speaker 3: they're at home, which of course an afternoon game on Fox, which.
Speaker 2: Means Arizona will win this game because of the situation,
Speaker 2: because they're not supposed to because it's supposed to because
Speaker 2: because thanks, We've got to take appreciated Victor. All Right,
Speaker 2: we've got to take our break.
