19
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Typically they'd take at ten to fifty because they needed

20
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>a catch to the bus to get to Pittsburgh to

21
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.600

<v Speaker 2>so who five years twenty nineteen, twenty six years ago. Man,

61
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess if I were to and I said this,

62
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I said this. You know, if I could stay in

63
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:16.159
<v Speaker 2>college all the rest of my life, I would have

64
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>be like Rodney danger Pill.

65
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 3>What was that movie? Yeah, I forget the day a

66
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 3>little bit. He's back to school or something like that.

67
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 4>Six foot five, two ninety three started ten games for

68
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 4>the Beavers last season and overall nineteen games.

69
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 5>What would you think he's made his way around the country,

70
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 5>though he's been at Peblo. He went to Southwestern Community

71
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.919
<v Speaker 5>College over in San Diego, Butler Community College I think

72
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.000
<v Speaker 5>is in Kansas, and then he showed up at Oregon State.

73
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>So he's been playing since would you say twenty.

74
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 4>Seventeen, Yeah, twenty twenty, I think twenty nineteen season he

75
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.680
<v Speaker 4>first started in college.

76
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 3>Okay, did you see go ahead?

77
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 4>This is due to the new NCAA rule where people

78
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 4>the JC people are game than one extra year.

79
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it makes sense. Did you see that the quarterback

80
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>from a issue what's his name?

81
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 6>Levit?

82
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is going back obviously the issue and has

83
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 2>estimated nil is take a guess three million the good

84
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:17.319
<v Speaker 2>guess because you know the answer, probably three million dollars. Really,

85
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>when I saw that, when he said three million dollar

86
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 2>quarterback returns to the issue, I'm thinking they're paying him

87
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>three million dollars.

88
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 3>And that's his that's his projection, I think it is.

89
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, come on, come on, really, and I'm sure what

90
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>would you think that Noah Is and some of these guys.

91
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know anybody else on the damn team

92
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 2>because it's all there.

93
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:38.759
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea.

94
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:39.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

95
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Sporting News three million dollars.

96
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.720
<v Speaker 2>That's his that's his projection, right or whatever. They're not

97
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't be paying him three million dollars. Well, you

98
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.560
<v Speaker 2>have you heard about the men's basketball. Tell me they

99
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 2>were supposed to have a Netflix docuseries. Oh yeah, issue, Yeah,

100
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>that was supposed to help pay some of the nil

101
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>and help some of the players, but obviously fell through.

102
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>So now that's they're kind of questioning like, all right,

103
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>so where is it going to come from? Where are

104
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.319
<v Speaker 2>these bigger CRU's going to get their money from? Well,

105
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 2>you saw that Florida State coach has been sued by

106
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 2>three or four players because they didn't get paid two

107
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty thousand, and it came out they were

108
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>ready to boycott some of the games last year when

109
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>they weren't getting paid.

110
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh, that's the world where kind of where they are

111
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 3>for sure?

112
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 5>I mean I remember what was the utep not utep

113
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.000
<v Speaker 5>UNLV's quarterback who didn't get paid, you know, leaves or.

114
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Wherever he went, and he had a pretty good season

115
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>after enf too. They don't let the door hit you

116
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 2>in the h were supposed to make a million dollars

117
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>and nope.

118
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:39.839
<v Speaker 3>No, Yeah, when we did the story.

119
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>No.

120
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>We I was with Moderno and that More and uh

121
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 2>and Troy and they were talking about this and I'm thinking, no,

122
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>that's not happening.

123
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 3>They're not promising, And.

124
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's happening because now we're seeing about it, and

125
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, God, you're promising these kids' money and then

126
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>not coming through.

127
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

128
00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 2>And then you see the Leonard Hamilton story. Yeah, I

129
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 2>don't blame some of the guys coming and.

130
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Going this is this is where you need contracts. Yeah,

131
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 4>they need to start with it soon eventually.

132
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty funny.

133
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean even I'm looking at this the website sports Skita,

134
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 5>which is kind of a fun one to look at

135
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 5>for recruiting and things like that business. But the story

136
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.360
<v Speaker 5>from on three sports New Arizona State, excuse me, New

137
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 5>Arizona State quarterback Sam Levitt has signed a new deal

138
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 5>signed a new deal with the Sun Devils for the

139
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 5>twenty twenty five season at three million dollars.

140
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 2>So he signed this million signs like you know, he's

141
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 2>an il, he's a he's a he'll be a junior

142
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 2>on he he he's going to be a senior. I

143
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>believe he'll be a sophomore. It was a Richard freshman

144
00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 2>year Michigan State. Right, yeah, holy crap. Three million for

145
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 2>one season of decent quarterback play. College football is such

146
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 2>a joke, that's according to certain fans.

147
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that that's a thread.

148
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they'll be going into a sophomore year. What's the

149
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 2>world coming to? Where are they getting this money?

150
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I want to find out people,

151
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 4>they've got a lot of ritual they have money.

152
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 3>They do so does Arizona.

153
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:05.199
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

154
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I think even in a better well maybe not a

155
00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 2>grander skill, but but uh, there's a lot of you know.

156
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.560
<v Speaker 3>That you know, because you know that you chase these people.

157
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 5>Well you look at what a su did, even just

158
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 5>getting that hockey team formed I don't know, five six

159
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 5>years ago, is because of a donor who was willing

160
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 5>to build an arena, he says, the father of some

161
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 5>hockey player from I don't know, Wisconsin or something like that.

162
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, let's build an arena. How much money do

163
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you have a lot of? Do you have a lot of? I? Okay,

164
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>so there, Dave, given your your history of your work

165
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>before you retired, you probably have the database of all

166
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the dudes with money. Sure, I didn't know and you

167
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.639
<v Speaker 2>may have said this to me or on the show

168
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.040
<v Speaker 2>that the New York Jets owner a Grant. I didn't

169
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>even know that until you guys mentioned. I'm thinking what

170
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>and I don't does he get money? I can't disclose that, Okay, okay, okay,

171
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>So that doesn't answer my question.

172
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't you know if you if if he's

173
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 5>going to give a lot of money, we would know

174
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 5>about it.

175
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 3>It would make the news. Okay, okay.

176
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, and then you have the X guys, the ex

177
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 2>players who and historically don't give money back, you know,

178
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.639
<v Speaker 2>the the ex players, you know, the Steve kurrz do,

179
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 2>the the golfer of Furick has given AA and there's

180
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>been a few. Richard Jefferson obviously help with the gym,

181
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>but probably not enough. Right, And that's just not here,

182
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 2>that's historically everywhere. Yeah, you know, they come, they go

183
00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 2>to school, play, get out and make a lot of

184
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 2>money in hell of the school.

185
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

186
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 5>Nowadays though, most donors want their money to go to something.

187
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 5>They don't want to just give it to a quarterback

188
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 5>for three million. I mean that's probably some company that

189
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 5>they're working with and said, okay, right, you know three

190
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:44.360
<v Speaker 5>million dollars is nothing. If they can give three million dollars,

191
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 5>I could probably give thirty million dollars.

192
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:47.200
<v Speaker 3>That's true.

193
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 4>You're probably looking at a little smoothie shop. Hey, I'll

194
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 4>give you three million if you go on TV and

195
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.240
<v Speaker 4>say this smoothie is the best.

196
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.799
<v Speaker 2>Come here, yea, yeah, okay, okay. Let's say who knows

197
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>what's in his deal? Quote unquote right, well this this

198
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 2>say that, Well, do you go by sprite because lebron

199
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:02.679
<v Speaker 2>sells you sprite?

200
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Well? Sometimes sometimes do you?

201
00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.519
<v Speaker 5>Back when I was young, Shaquille O'Neal is like the

202
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:10.919
<v Speaker 5>Midas touch everything.

203
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Sure, he's got that icy hot, got everything. Icy hot,

204
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 3>icy hots work. They're miracles.

205
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I need icy. But you know what I'm saying, I

206
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>mean you don't do it because of that. No, not

207
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>for a college quarterback you have for three million dollars,

208
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.200
<v Speaker 2>What exactly is are we talking about here?

209
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:28.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

210
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Some smoothie place. Come on Mill Avenue, there's here's the smoothie.

211
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 4>By continuing breaking news with some Arizona basketball recruiting now,

212
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.600
<v Speaker 4>co ap Pete took on Tucson High last night at

213
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 4>Tucson High big crowd when he was introduced they are

214
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of u of eight chants kind of trying

215
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 4>to sway him. He had twenty two points, sixteen rebounds,

216
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 4>even with four fouls, with three twenty two and the

217
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 4>third he finished the game.

218
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh, then they won sixty four forty eight.

219
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>It was Did you see some of the footage. Yeah,

220
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 2>he was like a monster among little boys.

221
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was big. He was huge, huge. Yeah.

222
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Well you know his dad is right, Todd Pete, the

223
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 2>former tight end. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, no, it makes sense. Yeah,

224
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 2>he was big and he's thick, built like a tight end. Yeah.

225
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he'll be ready to go wherever heat.

226
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 2>He looks like a like a Townsend or a or

227
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>a waka, you know that kind of built.

228
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

229
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

230
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 5>He's the youngest of seven children of Todd Pete played

231
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 5>for the Cardinals Raiders as uk.

232
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 3>It makes sense. So he's coming from a family to

233
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 3>some college basketball.

234
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 4>You had Florida upsetting the number one and at the

235
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 4>time undefeated Tennessee Volunteers seventy three to forty three.

236
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.399
<v Speaker 2>That may have been the easiest picture of the year

237
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.240
<v Speaker 2>for me to this point.

238
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:47.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

239
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.799
<v Speaker 4>He also had Kentucky losing to Georgia at Georgia on

240
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 4>the road kind of kind of surprising there. Arizona b WESTERNI,

241
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.840
<v Speaker 4>of course, but Michigan went to Los Angeles and well routed.

242
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 2>The one thing or I've learned a few in this job,

243
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 2>Dave in the in the journalism job, that that that

244
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 2>emotions play a lot in games. Emotions if you're not

245
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>ready to play, you know, get beat. But coaching matters.

246
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.679
<v Speaker 2>And if if you can see and I wanted the

247
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 2>next time I have friends on this, can you tell

248
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:20.679
<v Speaker 2>who the good coaches are or not? And I'm not

249
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 2>going to ask for names, but you know, you you

250
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 2>know who's who's good and who's not right. And that

251
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>guy who's now coaching at at Michigan, he was at

252
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 2>Florida International. I think it was like, uh, you know,

253
00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 2>played Arizona right, You could tell the dude can coach

254
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 2>because what he did at Florida doesn't. Isn't it an accident?

255
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh? And he's got this team at Michigan playing very

256
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 3>very well.

257
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 5>I think that's what we thought about Tommy too when

258
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 5>he got here. You know, he comes from Gonzaga where

259
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 5>he's under Mark Few, one of the best coaches, and

260
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:49.559
<v Speaker 5>he showed up and he was ready to go.

261
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 2>He was, you know, well, Dave, according to the internet

262
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:58.480
<v Speaker 2>that we watch, he had you know, he has.

263
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:01.720
<v Speaker 3>All Sean's playing. He's got asha. That's why he's a

264
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.360
<v Speaker 3>good coach. Shut up. Yeah, you see that, right, I

265
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.480
<v Speaker 3>see it, I see it. Yeah. I haven't heard anything

266
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.960
<v Speaker 3>since the last two weeks, since the guys won one

267
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 3>hundred games and.

268
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, so yeah, and he was the perfect guy after Sean,

269
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, to kind of get this thing going again.

270
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:27.320
<v Speaker 4>It's the NBA Magic Star. Paolo Banchero is returning after

271
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:30.720
<v Speaker 4>he's torn oblique. He's been out since October thirtieth.

272
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Really him, and so he's going to get Williams since

273
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.080
<v Speaker 2>back too. I think he's coming.

274
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Basically played a couple of nights ago, but they're gonna

275
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:37.720
<v Speaker 4>rest him tonight.

276
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Real course, load management.

277
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 4>He's making like fifty million dollars a year or something

278
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 4>to sit on the bench is quite nice, man. And

279
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:48.000
<v Speaker 4>then you have a big time game through the Oklahoma

280
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 4>City Thunder visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers, the two top teams

281
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 4>in the NBA.

282
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm just looking for sponsors at a very cheap rate, guys,

283
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:56.039
<v Speaker 2>anybody wants to.

284
00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 3>And then you got an il deal you need to sign.

285
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I can't spend it, and I can spell,

286
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.039
<v Speaker 2>and I can't say it either.

287
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 4>And then we're into a subject that's kind of sports

288
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 4>meets the real world. With the wildfires in lah best

289
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.879
<v Speaker 4>to everyone out there, but Kawhi Leonard, just who just

290
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 4>came back from injury, is taking some time to take

291
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 4>care of his family, get them evacuated safely. And you

292
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 4>even had coaches like Steve Curry, J. J. Redick their

293

<v Speaker 4>postponing the Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings game

299

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 5>Rey and works in Burbank.

305
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.919
<v Speaker 3>And they said, don't come in today.

306
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 5>You're not going to drive from Rena because it's a

307
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.600
<v Speaker 5>mess and it's gonna be mess.

308
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.600
<v Speaker 3>He said it looked like the apocalypse. Oh really, this

309
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.919
<v Speaker 3>guy is orange and brown or whatever. And did they

310
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:20.840
<v Speaker 3>know how it started? I don't know.

311
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 5>Have we heard this yet? I mean it just the

312
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.919
<v Speaker 5>wind is what it has done most of the damage.

313
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.440
<v Speaker 5>I think how it started, I don't know. Okay, got

314
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 5>a little bit of time left. I'm gonna try to

315
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 5>run through this. The Cowboys denied the Bear's permission to

316
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 5>interview Mike McCarthy. I'm sure that'll work out for them.

317
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:42.080
<v Speaker 5>No to go after Pete Carroll. They denied him. They

318
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 5>denied that he can talk to them. Yeah, what did

319
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 5>you say the night?

320
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:45.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh? The night?

321
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, she's okay to college football? Uh?

322
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Marett Rodriguez, former Arizona quarterback, was named the quarterback coach

323
00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 4>for West Virginia.

324
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he'll be under richrod. It's not who do we

325
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.879
<v Speaker 2>talk about yesterday or today? Didn't oh Dick fight tel?

326
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.159
<v Speaker 2>Haven't you already said that he was cats free? Now

327
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 2>that's like, okay, when hadn't that already happened?

328
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Officially they have announced okay today, she's another young one.

329
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:19.559
<v Speaker 3>He can't be much older than six ish six?

330
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Is and Roquel, his daughter is kind of in the

331
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.360
<v Speaker 2>social she handles all the social media stuff.

332
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:30.000
<v Speaker 4>The the Raiders just fire their head coachter looking at candidates.

333
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:32.159
<v Speaker 3>Bill Belichick might be one of them.

334
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:37.799
<v Speaker 4>Might I would doubt it that Tom Brady said he's

335
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.240
<v Speaker 4>willing to do whatever it takes to get Bill out there.

336
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I thought this was maybe before all this happened, because

337
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>now he's kind of settled in it. Didn't they just

338
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>hire or trying to get some more obviously portal people too.

339

342
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 4>player on the team, Abdul Carter.

343
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 3>What's the spread there? Penn State one? Okay?

344
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.279

345
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.200

466

<v Speaker 2>Blair Willis, formerly of the U A Sad office player Hawaii.

467

<v Speaker 7>I'm doing good, Steve.

468
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:07.039
<v Speaker 6>Happy New Year and it's great to be on with you.

469
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, great to have you.

470
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 2>You're kind of like the I want to say guru,

471
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 2>but you're like an expert with all this internet stuff

472
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:16.599
<v Speaker 2>on X because you come up with these great stats

473
00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that not too many people have. Last night you had

474
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:22.000
<v Speaker 2>one about the pace, which I love pace and you

475
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and you we know I've covered the team forever that

476
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 2>the pace is always kind of the kryptonite for Arizona,

477
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>but they've really done well in the last few games

478
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 2>with it.

479
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:34.279
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, you're right, Steve.

480
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.319
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's kind of that bugaboo that you know,

481
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:39.480
<v Speaker 6>I think we as Arizona fans, whether you're back to

482
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 6>the Loud Alton years or even through the Sean Millier years,

483
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:44.960
<v Speaker 6>Arizona has always been a really good transition team and

484
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:47.079
<v Speaker 6>likes to get up and down the court and score

485
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.799
<v Speaker 6>a lot of points and play a pretty freestyle of basketball,

486
00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 6>certainly under under.

487
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Coach Lloyd these last few years.

488
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:54.920
<v Speaker 6>But that bugaboo has been when you get into those

489
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 6>tight games in conference tournament time or certainly NCAA tournament time,

490
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:02.920
<v Speaker 6>and and uh, possessions get more precious and teams value

491
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.519
<v Speaker 6>the basketball a little bit more and you see typically

492
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.480
<v Speaker 6>see fewer possessions. And those have been some of those

493
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 6>games over the years, including recent years that have kind

494
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 6>of come back to bite the Wildcats, And so you

495
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:14.960
<v Speaker 6>kind of keep an eye on that a little bit,

496
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:16.599
<v Speaker 6>and it'll be something I think I'll keep an eye

497
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 6>on through the Big Twelve being a lot of different

498
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 6>league than with the Pac ten and Pac twelve has

499
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.119
<v Speaker 6>been for so many years, is kind of what the

500
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.759
<v Speaker 6>style of play looks like and being in more tougher games,

501
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:31.240
<v Speaker 6>tougher environments, tougher situations kind of how the team handles it.

502
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:34.119
<v Speaker 6>And it's been nice to see because this group wasn't

503
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:36.279
<v Speaker 6>handling things very well early in the year when games

504
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 6>got tight, and you know, hear these last few games,

505
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.640
<v Speaker 6>they've done a pretty good job and being able to

506
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 6>pull some things out.

507
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one of the I'll give you the quote over

508
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 2>at least a tweet. In the Tommy Lloyd era, there

509
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:49.519
<v Speaker 2>have been only one other There's been only one other

510
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.559
<v Speaker 2>instance where the Cats played three straight games with the

511
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Pace in the sixties. That was in the final three

512
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Speaker 2>games of the twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three

513
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.440
<v Speaker 2>season that ended with the loss of princetonent. We kind

514
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 2>of mentioned that, right, But they've survived. They've survived this,

515
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:05.599
<v Speaker 2>which which is a good thing because they're able to

516
00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.640
<v Speaker 2>at least have shown they can get through the pace.

517
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, yeah, I agree.

518
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 6>I mean it's even go back a year earlier when

519
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.160
<v Speaker 6>or maybe two years earlier. I'm losing track of my

520
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.920
<v Speaker 6>years a little bit. But coach Lloyd's first team, you know,

521
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.799
<v Speaker 6>got to the Sweet sixteen against Houston, and obviously Houston

522
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:24.920
<v Speaker 6>with Calvin Sampson's one of the best defensive teams in

523
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.079
<v Speaker 6>the country year and year out, and I mean that

524
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 6>just that was a really good Arizona team that hadn't

525
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 6>been challenged much throughout the year, and all of a

526
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.200
<v Speaker 6>sudden it ran up against the you know, one of

527
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:36.200
<v Speaker 6>the best defensive teams in the country, like I said,

528
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:38.839
<v Speaker 6>and I think that was only around sixty sixty one

529
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.559
<v Speaker 6>possessions in that game, and it was just a meat grinder,

530
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:43.839
<v Speaker 6>and Arizona wasn't I don't want to say they weren't

531
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 6>built for it, they just weren't ready for it because

532
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.079
<v Speaker 6>they hadn't faced it throughout the season. That that that year,

533
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 6>that twenty twenty two season came so easy to the Wildcats.

534
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.079
<v Speaker 6>And that's just kind of something as we've been looking

535
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker 6>forward to this Big twelve transition, I've just been interested

536
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.400
<v Speaker 6>to see of having a little bit more difficult road,

537
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:03.559
<v Speaker 6>being challenged, more consistent, facing great coaches, great players, great environments.

538
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:06.839
<v Speaker 6>Kind of how this team would adapt and and you know, uniquely,

539
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 6>this team actually faced the adversity in an on conference schedule,

540
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 6>you know, ran into some of these speed bumps, and

541
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.279
<v Speaker 6>you know, we're only three games into a twenty game

542
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 6>Big Twelve slate, but you know, so far, so good

543
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 6>for the Wildcats. Turn in the corner and maybe finding

544
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 6>some ways to win games a little bit differently. If

545
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 6>these last few games are any indication, because they've been

546
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, a little bit lower, slower pace, fewer possessions,

547
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.160
<v Speaker 6>and there'll just be something to keep an eye on

548
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:33.200
<v Speaker 6>as we keep moving forward.

549
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:35.559
<v Speaker 5>How long you think it's going to take for the

550
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:40.119
<v Speaker 5>teams that switch conferences to get used to, uh, you know,

551
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.880
<v Speaker 5>a different pace, different style of play, like like an ASU,

552
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.079
<v Speaker 5>like Arizona like you know, the other's the Colorado and

553
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.519
<v Speaker 5>Utah's is is it gonna you think it's going to

554
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.160
<v Speaker 5>take a while for everyone to get used to it.

555
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:54.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Dave, Yeah, I'm not really sure.

556
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 6>I think I think the sports are a little bit different.

557
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 6>I expected, like the same football, you know, not not

558
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 6>to change topics, but back in well I thought there

559
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.079
<v Speaker 6>would be a little bit of an adjustment period for

560
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:05.319
<v Speaker 6>teams facing a different style. But then you look at

561
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.880
<v Speaker 6>Arizona State, you know, comes in and wins the Big Twelve,

562
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:10.920
<v Speaker 6>and you know football for instance, basketball, I mean you

563
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.160
<v Speaker 6>played a thirty some game regular season anyways, and you

564
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:16.920
<v Speaker 6>face so many different types of teams over the year.

565
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 6>I'm not sure about the style of play or necessarily

566
00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:24.799
<v Speaker 6>the league. I just think for teams like Arizona when

567
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 6>you're I think Morgantown was a great example yesterday. Tough weather, cold,

568
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:32.079
<v Speaker 6>snow on the ground, and there was still a really

569
00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 6>nice crowd there. They weren't sold out, It wasn't as

570
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:35.519
<v Speaker 6>rockus as it would have been if they didn't have

571
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:38.119
<v Speaker 6>all that snow on the ground. But Arizona's been used

572
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.559
<v Speaker 6>to those trips up in the Pacific Northwest, going to Pullman, Washington, Corvallis,

573
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:44.720
<v Speaker 6>maybe even the Salt Lake City here in the last

574
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:47.400
<v Speaker 6>ten years. If you get that inclement weather and there's

575
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.119
<v Speaker 6>snow on the ground and the fans can't come from

576
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:51.839
<v Speaker 6>across the state to get to the games, there might

577
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:54.319
<v Speaker 6>have been one or two thousand people in the arena

578
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:57.480
<v Speaker 6>in Pullman or the arena in Corvallis. You know, West

579
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 6>Virginia still had a great crowd there. And that's what

580
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.839
<v Speaker 6>you're going to get in the Big twelve. You know,

581
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.160
<v Speaker 6>across the across the league is you're just gonna have

582
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.640
<v Speaker 6>these environments on the road that are a big game

583
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:08.400
<v Speaker 6>atmosphere night in and night out. The quality of the

584
00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 6>team is certainly going to be stepped up as well,

585
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:13.559
<v Speaker 6>so I don't know, you know what type of adjustment

586
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:15.519
<v Speaker 6>that takes. I think when like you're in Arizona that's

587
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 6>played you know, played Wisconsin, Duke, Oklahoma, Ucla. I mean,

588
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:21.920
<v Speaker 6>you you played a lot of really good teams out

589
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.519
<v Speaker 6>of league. You're kind of ready for the different styles

590
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:28.039
<v Speaker 6>of of of play, the you know, good quality competition.

591
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.119
<v Speaker 6>But just getting used to that travel and getting used

592
00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:33.079
<v Speaker 6>to these environments is what I'm kind of interested to

593
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.440
<v Speaker 6>see how teams adapt. And I'm excited from what I

594
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 6>saw from the Wildcats over these last you know, three

595
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.359
<v Speaker 6>or four days going to Cincinnati and West Virginia, of

596
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.359
<v Speaker 6>handling the travel, handling those environments and also playing good

597
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:46.440
<v Speaker 6>basketball at the same time.

598
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:47.920
<v Speaker 3>No, it's good to see what they're doing.

599
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 7>Right.

600
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 2>If you're a big fan, and I know Tucson has

601
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:52.200
<v Speaker 2>has them in their hearts, of course, let me give

602
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.160
<v Speaker 2>you another one, so let me temper that enthusiasm from you.

603
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Of course, on charted territory for Arizona basketball and Tommy Lloyd,

604
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:00.839
<v Speaker 2>the Cats are making only thirty percent of their three

605
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.799
<v Speaker 2>point field goals this season. That ranks two hundred and

606
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.519
<v Speaker 2>eighty eighth nationally and is on track for the lowest

607
00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 2>three point field percentage since nineteen ninety seven.

608
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:14.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, that one, Steve.

609
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:16.400
<v Speaker 6>I think I came up with that one about all

610
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:19.920
<v Speaker 6>three or four weeks ago after that UCLA loss. And

611
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.400
<v Speaker 6>it's really been a poor three point shooting team, which

612
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.920
<v Speaker 6>I think is probably a little bit surprising. I think,

613
00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 6>you know, the coaching staff probably expected to see some

614
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.119
<v Speaker 6>some shooting improvement out of you know, kJ Lewis and

615
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 6>and Trey Townsend, even maybe stepping up is more of

616
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:39.440
<v Speaker 6>a stretch forward than he had been in his previous

617
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:43.119
<v Speaker 6>role at his previous school. Caleb Love not shooting it

618
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:46.640
<v Speaker 6>quite as well as he did last year, you know.

619
00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:48.559
<v Speaker 6>So we just it hasn't been a good shooting team,

620
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:51.000
<v Speaker 6>and that's one of those things that's usually you only

621
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 6>need a few games usually to have that sample size

622
00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:55.240
<v Speaker 6>that's going to kind of prove out over the course

623
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.920
<v Speaker 6>of the season. But you know, I think with with

624
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.400
<v Speaker 6>Mo crebus out, I think Arizona is are going to

625
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:04.240
<v Speaker 6>adapt its offensive style. Shots are coming from different places

626
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 6>on the court, guards are getting into the paint more.

627
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 6>You know. Last night was a great example watching him

628
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.640
<v Speaker 6>against West Virginia. I mean there was really good ball movement,

629
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:14.680
<v Speaker 6>a lot of back cuts, and then that's leaving players

630
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 6>open on the perimeter for these wide open shots. And

631
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.759
<v Speaker 6>and ultimately, you give you know, Division one basketball players

632
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:22.480
<v Speaker 6>in this day and age enough wide open looks from

633
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:24.039
<v Speaker 6>the three point line, they're going to start to knock

634
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:24.519
<v Speaker 6>them down.

635
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:25.599
<v Speaker 3>So I say that.

636
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:27.640
<v Speaker 6>Because in the last few games, Arizona has started to

637
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:29.920
<v Speaker 6>shoot the three a little bit better as a team.

638
00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:33.160
<v Speaker 6>I mean, Delorso is a really talented shooter, but you're

639
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:35.720
<v Speaker 6>starting to see at Carter Bryant find his stroke a

640
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:37.599
<v Speaker 6>little bit. He's got a really good looking stroke for

641
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 6>a six foot eight kid that you know is a

642
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:40.880
<v Speaker 6>true freshman.

643
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 7>And he's a player.

644
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:43.920
<v Speaker 6>If he or Trey Townsen can start to shoot the

645
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 6>three a little bit better from that four spot, I mean,

646
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:48.079
<v Speaker 6>Arizona's going to be a really tough team to defend,

647
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:51.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, throughout the league. But you know, historically, you know,

648
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 6>back to your point, Steve, I mean, it's not a

649
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.440
<v Speaker 6>good shooting team from behind the art. They don't necessarily

650
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.759
<v Speaker 6>have to to be an elite three point shooting team.

651
00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.359
<v Speaker 6>They've got the talent, they've got the guards that can

652
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.839
<v Speaker 6>get into the things a little bit better. You know,

653
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 6>this season then maybe the way last year's team was constructed,

654
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.680
<v Speaker 6>So they're finding different ways to score and create their easy,

655
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 6>easy baskets, and hopefully along the way they start to

656
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:14.160
<v Speaker 6>shoot a little bit better, because right now in three

657
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.119
<v Speaker 6>Big Twelve games, they're right around thirty four percent, which

658
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:19.920
<v Speaker 6>is a respectable number. And if they can just improve

659
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:21.519
<v Speaker 6>upon them that a little bit, I mean, it's gonna

660
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.200
<v Speaker 6>be a fun team to watch as the season goes.

661
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 3>I had wanted to get you on.

662
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 2>I've tried all disclosure on for a few for a

663
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:33.160
<v Speaker 2>few weeks now, in part because you were the sad

664
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 2>when Richwrott was here and you got close with him

665
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and see him in the family in Rett Rod. You

666
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 2>saw the news today right with rtt Rod, I thought

667
00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 2>that had been a done deal a while back with

668
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>him being the quarterback coach.

669
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:49.440
<v Speaker 6>Now, yeah, absolutely, no, that's I was really excited. You know,

670
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:51.680
<v Speaker 6>for a couple of years, I probably joked with some

671
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:54.279
<v Speaker 6>people that, you know, if things didn't work out it

672
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.200
<v Speaker 6>was Virginia with with Neil Brown, and I would know,

673
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 6>obviously never wish anything ill upon anybody, but I thought, man,

674
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.559
<v Speaker 6>you know, if Neil Brown at you know, gets let

675
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:05.599
<v Speaker 6>go there at West Virginia. Would West Virginia actually, you know,

676
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.240
<v Speaker 6>have the gumption to go back and bring Rich back

677
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:10.400
<v Speaker 6>because he'd done a you know, Kent. Rich kind of

678
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:12.480
<v Speaker 6>reinvented his career a little bit after leave, you know,

679
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 6>after he got dismissed here and and win him was

680
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.079
<v Speaker 6>an offensive coordinator for a year or two and then

681
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.240
<v Speaker 6>decided to you know, take a transition job there at

682
00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:24.920
<v Speaker 6>Jacksonville State, a program that was moving up into FBS

683
00:31:24.920 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 6>and and did a great job there, and and he

684
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:29.119
<v Speaker 6>just had to respect the work he was doing there.

685
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:31.319
<v Speaker 6>So was somebody couldn't give him a chance and would

686
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:33.400
<v Speaker 6>it be a place like West Virginia. And so it

687
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 6>just tickled me kind of to to see that come

688
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:39.000
<v Speaker 6>together a couple of weeks ago. And and there's just

689
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:41.799
<v Speaker 6>a lot of really good people in Coach Rodriguez's coaching

690
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:43.799
<v Speaker 6>network that you know, we're a part of the staffs

691
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:46.480
<v Speaker 6>here and people I got to know. And you know,

692
00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:49.720
<v Speaker 6>Rich has got a great family with his wife, his daughter, Raquel,

693
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:52.119
<v Speaker 6>who's the U of A grad. Retz obviously was a

694
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:54.559
<v Speaker 6>football player here at the u of A. And I'm

695
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 6>just happy for them. And you know, shoot, one of

696
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:58.599
<v Speaker 6>these days you know, Rod Rodriguez might be one of

697
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.519
<v Speaker 6>those names you see out there for a coaching job

698
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 6>when it becomes available. So maybe here in Tucson we

699
00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:04.480
<v Speaker 6>should keep his name in mind.

700
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.000
<v Speaker 5>It seems like yesterday he was just a Catalina Foothills

701
00:32:07.599 --> 00:32:09.599
<v Speaker 5>playing for Jeff Scurring.

702
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:11.839
<v Speaker 2>And and and Rich would always say that my son

703
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.000
<v Speaker 2>knows my offense better than I do because he's around

704
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:14.440
<v Speaker 2>it all the time.

705
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:16.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he was always on the side, and he was

706
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:18.839
<v Speaker 5>always right there next to him. Seems like when he

707
00:32:18.880 --> 00:32:20.519
<v Speaker 5>wasn't even going to get in the game, he was

708
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:23.160
<v Speaker 5>the coach on the sideline with his dad there. So

709
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:25.519
<v Speaker 5>and he hears so many stories about, you know, young

710
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 5>players whose fathers were the coach and you know, move

711
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:29.640
<v Speaker 5>on the next generation.

712
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:33.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I remember being out practice. I mean you'd see,

713
00:32:33.440 --> 00:32:35.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, RHT would come over. He probably had his

714
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 6>his high school day, his high school workouts, maybe a practice,

715
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 6>and then he'd be out to practice deal with us,

716
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:42.279
<v Speaker 6>and he'd be right there next to his dad on

717
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 6>the sideline or even put a headset on every once

718
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 6>in a while, and you just kind.

719
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:47.519
<v Speaker 7>Of looked at him.

720
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.039
<v Speaker 6>You know, Rett's not a physically imposing kid. You know,

721
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:52.880
<v Speaker 6>he was never a five star type recruit, but man,

722
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 6>he sure knew the game. And then once he was

723
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 6>a wildcat, once he was in college here, I mean,

724
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:59.680
<v Speaker 6>he just had a I think the neat thing about

725
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.079
<v Speaker 6>him is his dad as a fiery head coach, to

726
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:04.240
<v Speaker 6>be a little bit polarizing. I think there were probably

727
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:07.240
<v Speaker 6>some players in the locker room that, uh, you know,

728
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:10.000
<v Speaker 6>felt real comfortable with Rich's coaching style. And then there

729
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 6>was those other players that were a little bit on

730
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:15.440
<v Speaker 6>edge and kind of on on ice skates around coach Rodriguez.

731
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.160
<v Speaker 6>And so then you get the coach's son that comes

732
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:19.359
<v Speaker 6>in and and you know who's he going to be?

733
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:21.720
<v Speaker 6>Is you know, is he is he going to be

734
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 6>on his dad's side all the time or is he

735
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 6>going to be on our side? And I'll tell you,

736
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:26.920
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that. I don't know a teammate that

737
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:30.920
<v Speaker 6>didn't like Rhets And there wasn't a teammate rep didn't

738
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:32.440
<v Speaker 6>get along with. I mean, he was just really well

739
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:34.599
<v Speaker 6>received in that locker room. I think he gained the

740
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 6>respect of his teammates and obviously a smart kid.

741
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.079
<v Speaker 3>I'll say he's a tough football player too.

742
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:41.359
<v Speaker 6>He wasn't afraid to get out there and take hits

743
00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:43.720
<v Speaker 6>and put himself on the line for his teammates. He's

744
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 6>just a real quality young man.

745
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Smart too. Yeah, yeah, no, no question.

746
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Well if you remember, and you know this better than me, Blair,

747
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.359
<v Speaker 2>that he played a few games or a few at

748
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 2>least a couple of games, and he did really well

749
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:58.799
<v Speaker 2>because he was the cerebral quarterback and now you needed

750
00:33:58.960 --> 00:33:59.960
<v Speaker 2>him to do his job.

751
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:01.759
<v Speaker 3>And I think he did really well.

752
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, absolutely he did.

753
00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:08.280
<v Speaker 6>You know, he was a he was always going to

754
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 6>know the playbook, you know, And and I think in

755
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 6>some way it's kind of like a you know, to

756
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:15.840
<v Speaker 6>our current roster at Arizona football. I mean kind of

757
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:17.280
<v Speaker 6>like a no if a Fida, just one of those

758
00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:20.360
<v Speaker 6>guys that you know, knows the playbook. He's going to

759
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.800
<v Speaker 6>put in all the time, he needs to to study it.

760
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:25.639
<v Speaker 6>He's gonna be there with his teammates, he'll take extra reps.

761
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:28.880
<v Speaker 6>I mean that's just two Rett was and much like

762
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:31.599
<v Speaker 6>much like his dad, coach Rodriguez, I mean, rehet is

763
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.039
<v Speaker 6>it was a competitor too. He wasn't just some nice,

764
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:35.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, smart kid, I mean, he was a he

765
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:37.960
<v Speaker 6>was a competitor. So when he got his game reps,

766
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:40.280
<v Speaker 6>he was ready to go, and and I think again

767
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:42.760
<v Speaker 6>that's where the you know, his teammates truly respected him.

768
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:44.039
<v Speaker 6>And I think that's what will make him a great

769
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.760
<v Speaker 6>coach too. I mean he's got that. You know, he's

770
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:49.039
<v Speaker 6>got that playing background. Didn't play a ton obviously here

771
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.480
<v Speaker 6>at Arizona. Got to play a little bit more after

772
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 6>he moved on. But you know, I think I think

773
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 6>he's just gonna be a great coach. I mean, if he,

774
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:57.360
<v Speaker 6>if he wants to be. You know, it's it's a

775
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.480
<v Speaker 6>different a different world now than it was even five

776
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.559
<v Speaker 6>years ago, you know, for these young coaches. But I mean,

777
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:06.559
<v Speaker 6>certainly Rerec can get along with players, and he can

778
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.000
<v Speaker 6>teach the game. And uh, you know, his dad's got

779
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 6>a pretty good track record himself for having winning programs.

780
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Yep, does he know? Ni l does he is?

781
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:16.599
<v Speaker 16>He does?

782
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:18.559
<v Speaker 5>He know what he's getting himself involved with here. You

783
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:20.599
<v Speaker 5>think he's a business guy.

784
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:22.760
<v Speaker 6>Well he's gonna learn it real quick. I mean, obviously,

785
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:26.800
<v Speaker 6>you take that step up from a conference USA up

786
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.079
<v Speaker 6>to you know, Big twelve and everything you got to

787
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 6>face at this power four level. I mean it's really

788
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:34.360
<v Speaker 6>power too, I guess we could probably call it, but

789
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 6>we keep the acc in the in the big twelve

790
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:39.320
<v Speaker 6>in it for a power four right now. So uh no,

791
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:41.880
<v Speaker 6>you got to learn it quickly. And uh, I think

792
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.719
<v Speaker 6>everybody's kind of waiting to, you know, just see where

793
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:46.639
<v Speaker 6>this thing goes in another year or two. Maybe it's

794
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:48.559
<v Speaker 6>a little bit more into control than it is right now,

795
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:51.199
<v Speaker 6>and maybe there's some guardrails around it that make it

796
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.000
<v Speaker 6>a little bit easier for everybody to interpret. But we'll

797
00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:54.800
<v Speaker 6>see where that goes.

798
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.679
<v Speaker 2>I think you described Rich pretty well in terms of

799
00:35:57.719 --> 00:35:59.559
<v Speaker 2>being polarizing and stuff. You were with him for a

800
00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>long time him. Uh and and when he took the job,

801
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:04.480
<v Speaker 2>you were one of the first tw tweets that you know,

802
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:07.639
<v Speaker 2>you're excited for him, like you said earlier, Uh, just

803
00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.360
<v Speaker 2>a bit. I think he's probably misunderstood too.

804
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think I think he's he's very misunderstood, and

805
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:18.679
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you know, look, part of that's probably ant doing.

806
00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:22.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean, he he's a fiery, you know individual you know,

807
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.559
<v Speaker 6>doesn't take losing very well, and so a lot of times,

808
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 6>I mean, people you know are going to see a

809
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:30.320
<v Speaker 6>coach you know in their best moments and their worst moments,

810
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:32.760
<v Speaker 6>and So whether you hang on to the really good

811
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:35.320
<v Speaker 6>moments that you see on TV or or see on

812
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.880
<v Speaker 6>YouTube or wherever you see stuff on social media. Now

813
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 6>you hang on to the good ones or the bad

814
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 6>ones and and and those kind of live out there forever.

815
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:44.199
<v Speaker 6>But I'll tell you what, working for him, I mean,

816
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:48.000
<v Speaker 6>I really enjoyed it. He was so good to me.

817
00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:50.880
<v Speaker 6>He's so fair. He valued what we did in our

818
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.039
<v Speaker 6>line of work, which I think is you know, and shoot,

819
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:57.360
<v Speaker 6>I haven't I haven't been in athletics communications for five

820
00:36:57.440 --> 00:37:00.199
<v Speaker 6>years now. But back then, he really valued the work

821
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.239
<v Speaker 6>that we did, knew that we had a job to do,

822
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:06.119
<v Speaker 6>appreciated the input. He really took care of his staff,

823
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:08.440
<v Speaker 6>and he and his wife Rita were just it was

824
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:11.280
<v Speaker 6>like it was like a family, you know, honestly in

825
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:15.199
<v Speaker 6>that building with him and everybody was was helpful, supportive

826
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 6>of each other. And that started with Rich That was

827
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.920
<v Speaker 6>the expectation that he said. And so you know, I

828
00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:22.039
<v Speaker 6>remember it was a really hard, confusing time when when

829
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:24.000
<v Speaker 6>he got dismissed. You know, right after We've been to

830
00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:26.320
<v Speaker 6>a bowl game and shoot, we were gonna have Khalil

831
00:37:26.360 --> 00:37:29.280
<v Speaker 6>Tate coming back as a Heisman candidate. Perhaps and we

832
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:31.480
<v Speaker 6>had three freshman All American on defense. I mean, I

833
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:33.199
<v Speaker 6>think everybody that was a part of the program at

834
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:35.760
<v Speaker 6>that point was really excited about what the next year

835
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:37.840
<v Speaker 6>was going to bring, and then you know, all of

836
00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:40.599
<v Speaker 6>a sudden, we're making a pretty quick change and didn't

837
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:42.880
<v Speaker 6>really know what that meant for a lot of people.

838
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:46.280
<v Speaker 6>But I, you know, I just I just say that

839
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.119
<v Speaker 6>because you know who it affects is the people, not

840
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:51.440
<v Speaker 6>necessarily the head coach himself, but the people around him,

841
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:55.039
<v Speaker 6>and the families of the assistant coaches, the support staff,

842
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.880
<v Speaker 6>and obviously coaches immediate family, his wife and the two

843
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.920
<v Speaker 6>kids that were both students here at the time. And

844
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:04.199
<v Speaker 6>so I really enjoyed my time with him, and I've

845
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.079
<v Speaker 6>followed his career ever since he's moved on from Arizona,

846
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 6>and I really could not be happier for him to

847
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:11.239
<v Speaker 6>get one more chance back at West Virginia because it's

848
00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:13.079
<v Speaker 6>the one thing. He never told me this directly, or

849
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.360
<v Speaker 6>I never heard it directly from him, but he always

850
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:17.119
<v Speaker 6>got a sense that he did regret a little bit

851
00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:21.000
<v Speaker 6>leaving West Virginia the way he left West Virginia back

852
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:23.119
<v Speaker 6>there in two thousand and seven, and did he didn't

853
00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:26.599
<v Speaker 6>get a fair shake at Michigan. You know, he got

854
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:28.360
<v Speaker 6>cut there before he was going to get that thing

855
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.599
<v Speaker 6>turned around the next year, and you know, maybe in

856
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.719
<v Speaker 6>some ways it kind of happened to Arizona too. He

857
00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:35.159
<v Speaker 6>had a nice little run those first two to three years,

858
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.679
<v Speaker 6>and we got to the Fiesta Bowl with Scoopy and

859
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.880
<v Speaker 6>on New Solomon and then kind of had to rebuild it.

860
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:42.679
<v Speaker 6>And it felt like that thing was on the way

861
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:46.159
<v Speaker 6>back up there in twenty seventeen again, but it just

862
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.159
<v Speaker 6>wasn't meant to be. So I guess, long story short

863
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:51.039
<v Speaker 6>for coach, I hope it works out for him having

864
00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.559
<v Speaker 6>his career come full circle back there in Morgantown.

865
00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:56.159
<v Speaker 2>And I can't wait to that first game against West

866
00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Virginia when it happens.

867
00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I think it's up there, Arizona WESTGA. It's gonna be awesome.

868
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you could expand a lot of points on

869
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:04.719
<v Speaker 2>both sides.

870
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, thanks Blair, appreciate you.

871
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:09.199

875
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.440

955
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:57.599
<v Speaker 2>fun making our picks for the final time. I screwed

00:42:57.639 --> 00:42:59.239
<v Speaker 2>up last week. I tell you, I told you ahead

957
00:42:59.239 --> 00:42:59.559
<v Speaker 2>about a.

958
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:03.679
<v Speaker 3>Week you didn't tell me. He cut I'm ahead by

959
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:06.119
<v Speaker 3>half a point now, So what are you guys doing?

960
00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:09.280

961
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Last week, just and that's what it got me because

962
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:14.840
<v Speaker 2>no one played, no one cared, and I kind of

963
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.559
<v Speaker 2>went with the normal and just got crushed. So he caught.

964
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:20.920
<v Speaker 2>He's caught me. But I have a half a lead.

978
00:43:53.679 --> 00:43:55.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean again, we've kind of talked about kind of

979
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:58.679
<v Speaker 5>a fun weekend ahead. I think with you know, you

980
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:00.920
<v Speaker 5>have played some basketball mixed in with all the all

981
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:03.280
<v Speaker 5>the football, it's gonna be a good good time to

982
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:05.199
<v Speaker 5>be sitting around if the weather is going to be

983
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:06.800
<v Speaker 5>cold like this and Tucson would be a good time

984
00:44:06.840 --> 00:44:09.199
<v Speaker 5>to just kind of hang out and watch some good

985
00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:11.440
<v Speaker 5>postseason football NFL College.

986
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:15.719
<v Speaker 4>I had have a question for both of you. I've

987
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:18.920
<v Speaker 4>heard a lot and a lot of predictions and analysis

988
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:23.039
<v Speaker 4>that how State's gonna run the doors on Texas.

989
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you believe that I like them? What's the spread?

990
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:29.239
<v Speaker 2>Maybe three and a half? That one's like six. I

991
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:32.039
<v Speaker 2>want to say, I'm probably gonna go with Ohio State,

992
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:35.360
<v Speaker 2>not because of what they did last week against their opponents,

993
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:39.760
<v Speaker 2>obviously Oregon, but yeah, and they're probably the coach was

994
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:41.199
<v Speaker 2>just going to be fined right a month ago or

995
00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:44.760
<v Speaker 2>everybody every time, and now he's on the verge of

996
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.480
<v Speaker 2>winning the national title and their favorites.

997
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:51.199
<v Speaker 3>Or even money. Yeah, they looked good. Yeah.

998
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't know to what degree one, but I would

999
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:57.679
<v Speaker 2>I would say yes, you know, I don't know if

1000
00:44:57.800 --> 00:44:59.519
<v Speaker 2>running meaning big didn't.

1001
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:03.719
<v Speaker 3>Have to be play Penn State, I don't think so.

1002
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:06.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so. Then in the league, right, I

1003
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:09.199
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I don't know. I would. It's smart money

1004
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:09.480
<v Speaker 3>to me.

1005
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Is a lot of people saying they're gonna blow blow

1006
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:14.559
<v Speaker 4>Texas out. I don't think so.

1007
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I like Texas six and a half. That should

1008
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:21.880
<v Speaker 2>have won that game.

1009
00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:25.079
<v Speaker 3>They should have. It wasn't targeting. It was a target,

1010
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:25.840
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't targeting.

1011
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was probably one of the first times in

1012
00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:30.280
<v Speaker 4>my life I was actually rooting for the Sun Devils.

1013
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:34.679
<v Speaker 4>But I just I'd like to see those underdog teams. Oh,

1014
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:36.360
<v Speaker 4>they shouldn't be number four, Like why are they in

1015
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:38.639
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs? They're not that good and they go out

1016
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:40.440
<v Speaker 4>and have a game like that and they just prove

1017
00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:44.000
<v Speaker 4>themselves open. It opens doors up for other teams in

1018
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:47.760
<v Speaker 4>the future. But I do like Texas. I do like

1019
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:50.800
<v Speaker 4>them to be Ohio State overall. I do like their defense,

1020
00:45:51.719 --> 00:45:53.719
<v Speaker 4>and you the wild card is you just don't know

1021
00:45:53.760 --> 00:45:56.079
<v Speaker 4>what you're gonna get from Texas's offense if you're right,

1022
00:45:56.280 --> 00:45:59.440
<v Speaker 4>if they're firing on on silver on all cylinders, or

1023
00:45:59.639 --> 00:46:00.920
<v Speaker 4>if they're a no show.

1024
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:06.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think the Notre Dame Penn State game is

1025
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 5>gonna be fun too.

1026
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it should be. Notre Dame is on a major role.

1027
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:12.159
<v Speaker 2>And you don't know how good they are. I mean,

1028
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:15.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, talk about weird scheduling too. You know,

1029
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:18.039
<v Speaker 2>they're in the ACC, they're playing like sixty.

1030
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:20.079
<v Speaker 5>Seven games there and they're all, you know, their usual

1031
00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:23.480
<v Speaker 5>non conference games. They just rolled though through this season

1032
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:24.920
<v Speaker 5>after an early loss.

1033
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do you know, can you look up something real

1034
00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:31.800
<v Speaker 2>quick ESPN if the top twenty, the sixty four, the

1035
00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:34.679
<v Speaker 2>bracketology things up or not. I'm not sure because as

1036
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:36.880
<v Speaker 2>of three or four five days ago, Arizona was not

1037
00:46:37.000 --> 00:46:39.880
<v Speaker 2>in the tournament. I'm sure that's changed because they're now

1038
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:42.800
<v Speaker 2>number fourteen in the in the NET. It was updated

1039
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:48.280
<v Speaker 2>yesterday before the game, probably, Yeah, before the.

1040
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Game, Arizona was one of the last four in and

1041
00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:55.880
<v Speaker 4>there would be the eleven seed going up against Texas.

1042
00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Let me try to find them. That'd be tough. That'd

1043
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.159
<v Speaker 2>be a tough game. It'd be a tough one. Yeah.

1044
00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:03.639
<v Speaker 2>So I still think that there'll be a four or five.

1045
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:06.280
<v Speaker 2>So in the circumstance, they'd be an eleven.

1046
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.519
<v Speaker 4>If they won, they would go and face Pittsburgh in

1047
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:10.320
<v Speaker 4>the West.

1048
00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're number fourteen now in the and then NET.

1049
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:18.199
<v Speaker 2>Even though they didn't beat the teams they the bigger teams,

1050
00:47:18.480 --> 00:47:22.559
<v Speaker 2>they got some respect from them. So in Kentucky's fifteen,

1051
00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Texas A and m is seventeen, and those teams are

1052
00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:28.159
<v Speaker 2>ranked pretty high. So there still a lot of respect

1053
00:47:28.159 --> 00:47:30.880
<v Speaker 2>in the computers, not so much by the people.

1054
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:34.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think it works out better for them when

1055
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:36.519
<v Speaker 4>they when they're doubted, they play their best.

1056
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:39.239
<v Speaker 5>So they've got games. The Western region has got Denver.

1057
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:40.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And what's the other.

1058
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:44.360
<v Speaker 2>One is yeah, okay, I'm hoping Denver. Yeah, Denver be

1059
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.480
<v Speaker 2>good Denver because I can get to Denver. Uh yeah, yeah,

1060
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:51.400
<v Speaker 2>no questions to your point one. And I don't know

1061
00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:53.519
<v Speaker 2>where you get that information, but you're spot on in

1062
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:57.239
<v Speaker 2>terms of uh, if Arizona's the underdog in any situation,

1063
00:47:57.840 --> 00:47:59.679
<v Speaker 2>I'd go with the Arizona all the time. When their

1064
00:47:59.719 --> 00:48:01.639
<v Speaker 2>favorite they absolutely stink.

1065
00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:04.599
<v Speaker 3>I mean, look at Tommy's first year. Historically that's so

1066
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:06.039
<v Speaker 3>that's been Tommy's first year.

1067
00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:07.800
<v Speaker 4>They weren't supposed to be that as good as they were,

1068
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:10.800
<v Speaker 4>and they go and win the little Invitational in Vegas

1069
00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:13.239
<v Speaker 4>and now Arizona's a top ten team.

1070
00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:16.320
<v Speaker 3>They just played better when they're doubted.

1071
00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:18.679
<v Speaker 2>And it's been the case since I started covering them

1072
00:48:18.719 --> 00:48:20.559
<v Speaker 2>in the nineties or late eighties.

1073
00:48:20.639 --> 00:48:22.920
<v Speaker 3>It was just crazy and you saw it. They were good.

1074
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:25.079
<v Speaker 5>They were pretty good front runners though. I mean they

1075
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:28.079
<v Speaker 5>had some pretty great seasons overall, right, I mean the

1076
00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:29.440
<v Speaker 5>seventeen ones.

1077
00:48:29.159 --> 00:48:31.440
<v Speaker 3>In the back and stuff. Yeah, but then they would

1078
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:35.079
<v Speaker 3>get be losing. You know, they lose Tennes How do you.

1079
00:48:35.079 --> 00:48:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Explain ninety seven they were pretty much underdogs the whole

1080
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:41.639
<v Speaker 2>way except for maybe the second round. Well, the first

1081
00:48:41.719 --> 00:48:45.920
<v Speaker 2>round and the second round underdogs Kansas Providence they were

1082
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:48.480
<v Speaker 2>probably a three point favorite. Yeah, and then the rest

1083
00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:50.920
<v Speaker 2>of the way they were underdogs right against against North

1084
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Carolina and Kentucky. Remember they almost lost the first game, yeah, yeah, yea, yeah,

1085
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:56.800
<v Speaker 2>that's when the tweed That's when they won the title.

1086
00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because they had to get through that.

1087
00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:01.320
<v Speaker 2>First game the Torres the first game, right, and then

1088
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:04.320
<v Speaker 2>then ninety eight they were they were a jerguonid as

1089
00:49:04.320 --> 00:49:07.039
<v Speaker 2>a favorite, and then they get crushed by Utah in

1090
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:10.679
<v Speaker 2>the lea day. I mean maybe in two thousand and

1091
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:13.119
<v Speaker 2>one was maybe the exception because they played Duke in

1092
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:16.719
<v Speaker 2>the finals, but they lost the title. Did you were

1093
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 2>in Minnesota, weren't you? I was there so and we

1094
00:49:19.320 --> 00:49:22.320
<v Speaker 2>saw them play Michigan. They lost, They lost the game

1095
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:24.679
<v Speaker 2>in the semi They lost the National championship in the

1096
00:49:24.679 --> 00:49:26.840
<v Speaker 2>semi finals.

1097
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Did they when Gilbert got hurt?

1098
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:28.840
<v Speaker 7>Good?

1099
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Good point, yes, But when I think it was who

1100
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:36.800
<v Speaker 2>did Maryland play Duke or Michigan State played Duke. It's Maryland,

1101
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I think, and they had Duke double digits because if

1102
00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Maryland beats Duke, Duke is out and Arizona plays. So

1103
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:48.079
<v Speaker 2>it had that game gone a different way, Arizona wins

1104
00:49:48.079 --> 00:49:51.679
<v Speaker 2>the national title. You know, even though Gilbert got hurt,

1105
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Luke was hurt too. Nemember here to snuffbout today. Yeah,

1106
00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:58.239
<v Speaker 2>so two dudes out. Gilbert specifically couldn't really play that hard.

1107
00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:02.079
<v Speaker 2>And then a couple of calls in the game with

1108
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Joe with Jason Williams and Jason Gardner Jason Gardner. Yeah, yeah,

1109
00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:11.440
<v Speaker 2>So it's just kind of like serendipity. Yeah. I think

1110
00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:14.599
<v Speaker 2>that's a thing across all athletics. Though for Arizona, you know,

1111
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.159
<v Speaker 2>when they're underdogs, they're going to perform better.

1112
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hey, look at football.

1113
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:24.360
<v Speaker 2>That's that's my next book called me An Underdog an Undercat.

1114
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:27.880
<v Speaker 5>And sometimes, I mean those are the more memorable games

1115
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:30.199
<v Speaker 5>too when they are you know, when they probably one

1116
00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:31.880
<v Speaker 5>of the biggest wins ever in school history is when

1117
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:35.960
<v Speaker 5>they would played Washington in the ninety two season football. Yeah,

1118
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:37.519
<v Speaker 5>they were number one in the nations that come in

1119
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:40.599
<v Speaker 5>and Arizona killed them. Well, you know those are those

1120
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:41.440
<v Speaker 5>are the games you remember.

1121
00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:43.239
<v Speaker 2>And Anthony would know this because he covered the team.

1122
00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:45.440
<v Speaker 2>But then a week later they pay Oregon State and

1123
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:48.360
<v Speaker 2>gebet and lose. Yeah as a favorite, right, yeah, because

1124
00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:50.519
<v Speaker 2>it's always like pound your chest, pound your chest. Oh

1125
00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:53.800
<v Speaker 2>these guys are kicking my ass. Yeah, I don't know,

1126
00:50:54.239 --> 00:50:55.039
<v Speaker 2>because it happens.

1127
00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:55.920
<v Speaker 3>It happens all the time.

1128
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:59.440
<v Speaker 5>You wonder we in the media talk more about it

1129
00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:01.880
<v Speaker 5>than the players themselves, if they're like, oh no, okay,

1130
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:03.840
<v Speaker 5>we just beat had the greatest win in you know,

1131
00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:06.199
<v Speaker 5>our lives. Now we got to go play on the

1132
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:07.599
<v Speaker 5>road or Oregon State or whatever.

1133
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Well when we had like let down, the heath praise

1134
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:12.719
<v Speaker 2>and the tamershments and all those guys that come insus.

1135
00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:15.559
<v Speaker 2>It happens all the time. I don't know why, but

1136
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:17.400
<v Speaker 2>it happens. And like I said earlier in the show

1137
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:20.840
<v Speaker 2>with you Dave, two things have learned. Coaching matters and

1138
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:23.480
<v Speaker 2>emotion matters. If you're not up for a game, after

1139
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:26.719
<v Speaker 2>a big game or thinking ahead behind blah blah blah,

1140
00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:28.719
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get your ass kicked. And it happens here

1141
00:51:28.800 --> 00:51:29.519
<v Speaker 2>all the time.

1142
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:33.559
<v Speaker 5>Looking ahead is a problem that you've a fans have

1143
00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:36.639
<v Speaker 5>always had. Yeah, I mean always. You're sitting there as

1144
00:51:36.639 --> 00:51:37.480
<v Speaker 5>smart as you know.

1145
00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:39.719
<v Speaker 3>Late February. Oh, let's see where are we going to

1146
00:51:39.760 --> 00:51:41.960
<v Speaker 3>be around? Where are we going to? What seat are

1147
00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:42.639
<v Speaker 3>we going to be in?

1148
00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:45.079
<v Speaker 2>You know? And then we mess up somewhere in the uh,

1149
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:48.639
<v Speaker 2>well it's in some tournament. Here's the ultimate ultimate of that.

1150
00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:50.719
<v Speaker 2>In nineteen eighty eight, what kind of shirts were they

1151
00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:54.880
<v Speaker 2>promoting at U A ghost boatos you remember those shits?

1152
00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had the one because dose, because they

1153
00:51:56.840 --> 00:51:59.559
<v Speaker 2>were already celebrating number two, the number one team in

1154
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the country coming back, blah blah blah, and they looked

1155
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:04.559
<v Speaker 2>okay until they didn't. God, I wish I had one

1156
00:52:04.559 --> 00:52:06.119
<v Speaker 2>of those two I remember seeing and I think we

1157
00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:09.000
