You 8 00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.600 had a pretty good one right away with the Nuggets. 9 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.679 Oh yeah, Aaron Gordon got hurt former wildcat for the Nuggets, 10 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.520 that hurt his calf last night. So he's going to 11 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.240 be out for a handful of weeks. Didn't you just 12 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.520 sign a big contract in the off season too? So 13 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.200 he did. It's too bad. He's had a good run 14 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.560 with the Nuggets after kind of you know, kind of 15 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.560 being in no man's land with Orlando for a lot 16 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:03.000 of years. 17 00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.959 Wins an NBA championship, but part of the guy. 18 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:10.760 And guess what he and I guess what you already 19 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.959 know what? He lives and dies on those legs. Yeah, 20 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.680 because he's a great defender and those legs. It made 21 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.280 him a millions because of how he plays athletically, you. 22 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:21.680 Know, he's not. 23 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.599 He's developed a pretty good game, different, a different kind 24 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:26.840 of game than we saw when he was here. 25 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:27.719 Oh yeah, he couldn't. 26 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:28.079 He can't. 27 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.519 He can't shoot. He's not a good shooter. 28 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.319 Right, but he couldn't even make a free throw when 29 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.640 it was he when he was a Wildcat. 30 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.760 No, and look at look at it. Look at him now. Yeah, No, 31 00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:39.560 fantastic athlete, one of the better athletes to come in 32 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:40.000 last week. 33 00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:43.680 Oh yeah, came out of San Jose and he said 34 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.239 he's going to be out multiple weeks. So that's kind 35 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.400 of a bummer for him. One of the many Wildcats 36 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:47.920 in the NBA. 37 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.319 How are they doing? They're four and three, Daniel and 38 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.280 they're one of the favorites to win the thing again. 39 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.359 Yeah, maybe I think some of the guys aren't playing. 40 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.560 He signed a four year, one hundred and thirty three 41 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.280 million dollar contract, so he'll be able to, you know, 42 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.280 kind of rest on. 43 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:06.439 A pile of cash. 44 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:07.680 You rest easy. 45 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.000 He's averaged fifteen points. 46 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.199 He's averaging fifteen points a game, so he is scoring 47 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.639 and he's shooting fifty five percent on three pointers. 48 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.360 Oh wow, So he's he's kind of developed. 49 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.439 He's so much more Channing Fry like right, all of 50 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.680 a sudden, But you know, Channing missed out by like 51 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.360 ten years with his cash, right, his money, But four years, 52 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.560 one hundred and thirty three million, Jamal Murray's been hurt 53 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.280 for them. So they're a little bit struggling a little bit. 54 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.639 But they still have Jokic, who's, right, maybe the best 55 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:35.520 player out there at this. 56 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.199 Pointing, Well, you know they are who they are. Did 57 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.360 you see Cleveland? Cleveland's underfeeted too, like eight no night, Yeah, 58 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.520 they're good. They beat Milwaukee last night. Milwaukee's like horrible. 59 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.400 What's up with Milwaukee? I know, how does that happen? 60 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.520 I guess they're getting old, although Yannis isn't that old. No, No, 61 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.280 I think that they brought You know, who do you fire? 62 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:56.879 You fire the coach and the players are the ones 63 00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.400 that are guilty of the problems. So I guess they 64 00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.319 have the same team and a new coach, Doc Rivers, 65 00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.599 well the new coach from the compared to the last 66 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.000 year where he came on the scene, and yeah, that's right. 67 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.840 You know, he didn't fix much and here they are 68 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.000 and they're not playing hard for him. 69 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:18.400 Ye speaking of not playing about Joel Embiid, you know, 70 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.039 three game suspension for shoving a column. 71 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:22.960 Yeah, whatever that ever happened. 72 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.240 I was gonna ask you, ask me, I was gonna 73 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.599 ask you this to me. No, but I've been I've 74 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.680 been an uncomfortable situation with with guys approaching me and 75 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:40.479 accusing me of not being unfair. But just you know, 76 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.159 why did I have to write that or whatever? Well, 77 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:44.840 it's kind of my job. I have to, you know, 78 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.360 write that. I remember doing a story with the Tots. 79 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:51.560 The Totals, I don't know if you liked back in 80 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.319 nineteen late eighties. They didn't have the kind the goodest, 81 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.080 the goodest guys, the greatest guys. But it was difficult. 82 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.479 And I thought I'd have a great time at the park. 83 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:01.479 Not so much. 84 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.919 It was malcontent guys, you know, And you're this twenty 85 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.879 three year old kid out there trying to do a 86 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:09.759 story and yeah, you know, they're kind of bullying you 87 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.000 and enjoying it, enjoying it. But yeah, it was like 88 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.639 remember Wade Bogs, he had that story about the wife 89 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:18.920 and the affairs that he was having, blah blah blah. 90 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.680 So they wanted to be a localized that story. 91 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.240 You know, do you found a player? 92 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.399 But no, No, it was just you know, it was 93 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.120 an uncomfortable story because no one's going to admit that, 94 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:28.800 but it's you know, you're talking to the girlfriends who 95 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.279 go to the game and their wives and they sit 96 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.079 together and don't sit together, you know it. And then 97 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.839 the guys are saying, why did you write that? Well, 98 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.399 kind of, my boss is made to do it. You 99 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.000 know what I'm saying. You have to do those stories 100 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.160 that you kind of felt uncomfortable. Yeah, I mean it happens. 101 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.279 And you know in the NBA and really now in 102 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.319 professional sports, you know, they they're kind of shielded back 103 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.279 and the media can do what they want. And the 104 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.079 media may never go sit near Joel and B but 105 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:58.480 he can sit there and write what he wants and write. 106 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.399 It's out there and it's the way of world. 107 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.040 Well, if you saw the story, I saw it a 108 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.560 couple of days ago, and he the columnist and I 109 00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.519 can't remember his name for the Philadelphia paper, Marcus Hayes, 110 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:09.519 Marcus Hayes, and I don't know that name, but he 111 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.199 did a story, mentioned his brother and his son and 112 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.199 talked about him being out for all these all these 113 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.399 time and his load management or whatever, and being got 114 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.600 upset about it because he mentioned his brother I think, 115 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.480 who since passed or had passed away, and his son 116 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.120 and you don't go there, you know. He just felt 117 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.560 you just don't go there, and you know, talking about 118 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.439 him missing a lot of games and things like that, 119 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.319 and he confronted him. 120 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:35.319 It was interesting because when you watched him in the 121 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.879 Olympics too, it was pretty obvious he wasn't in the 122 00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:41.000 best of shape and he wound up having a great game. 123 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.079 I don't know if it was the last game. It 124 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.759 was one of the later games in the in the 125 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.199 in that uh, in that whole run. But you know, 126 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.600 he's just he's always seems to be having some type 127 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:53.560 of injury, and you know, he doesn't want to play 128 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.199 in October November. 129 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.160 And so let me we're talking about breaking news here stuff. 130 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.079 But so if you can, what was an uncomfortable moment 131 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.240 or two for you? Did you have any or did 132 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.759 you have it easy? We had it pretty easy. 133 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:07.120 I'm trying. 134 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:11.759 I really can't think of like any shouting matches or 135 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.120 anything like that. I can't imagine getting shoved. I mean 136 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.879 that just seems I remember seeing I remember the famous 137 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.000 Ryan Leaf tirade as a quarterback for the Chargers, and 138 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.639 he was screaming at somebody. It was just players usually 139 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:26.920 just didn't do that. You know, they knew it was 140 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.399 going to come off terribly so even before social media. 141 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.720 Yeah excuse me, but you know, you just can't do that. No, 142 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.959 it looks bad and it's pretty rare. The thing about 143 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.839 it is the fans who don't give a crap what happens. 144 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.360 They don't care about the you know when they ask 145 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:46.720 you the time, they don't want to know how the 146 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.600 clock is made. They just want to read the story 147 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.519 or get the story right for you to give the story. 148 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.600 It's what happens. It happens, and they don't want to 149 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.920 know about all this behind you see stuff. Well, the 150 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.959 players control so much of the messaging these days too. 151 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:01.199 I mean, when a guy like for the Philadelphia Enquire 152 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:07.079 write something, you know, Joel probably had no clue that 153 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.879 that story was coming because he's so used to, you know, 154 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.160 doing his own podcast or doing his own you know 155 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.800 whatever articles that he can write and break their own 156 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.920 websites and things like that. 157 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.199 Twelve years telve years, so, so twelve years. That was 158 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.240 the beginning oh maybe early Sean Sean, Yeah, a couple 159 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.399 of years into Sean, so two three years, did you? 160 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.519 And before we had it made right, we could go 161 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.360 to the locker room or we can talk to whoever 162 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:37.160 we wanted or selective. Yeah, at least how did you 163 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.639 like that or didn't like that? The change. 164 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:43.759 Did not? We just you know, everybody was getting the 165 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.360 same thing basically. 166 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:46.319 And they continue to do that. 167 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.160 They still do that. 168 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:47.519 Yeah. 169 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:49.759 I mean I used to say, if if the coach 170 00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:52.959 is going to just talk and not break away from 171 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.519 the podium, why am I even here? We can all 172 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.639 someone can just get the camera and send it and 173 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.600 that's it. You know, we're not gonna get you thing different. 174 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.279 But whereas in the days leading up to that, we 175 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.759 did have those chances where we could talk to you know, 176 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.519 especially basketball, they just come walking out and just grab 177 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.600 whoever you wanted, basically before practice maybe once a week, 178 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:13.920 and then you get him after a game. 179 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:15.720 And that was good enough for us. 180 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.120 Sure, sure, No, you're right. The thing about it is 181 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.120 you need to have someone there asking the questions, whether 182 00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:22.120 it's you or somebody else. 183 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.279 Well, they probably could have provided that, you know, they're 184 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.879 just kind of messaging in themselves, but sure does does 185 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.600 coach ever come off the podium and talk to reporters anymore? 186 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.360 Good question. He did last night, and to his credit, 187 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.200 Bruce probably had something to ask him on the side, 188 00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.120 because I waited for him as well afterward, well actually 189 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.000 for Nate actually after to get my credential. And Tommy 190 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:47.960 had given me a little guff at the beginning of 191 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.480 the press conference, and then I saw him at the end. 192 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.399 He says, go to sleep. I complained, it was a 193 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.960 late night. You know, it's ten thirty or whatever, ten 194 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.840 thirty year old. He said, No, I'm not. He said, 195 00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.120 yeah year old. Yeah, you know, it says, you know, 196 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.159 just joking with me, but no, not anymore. And I 197 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.200 remember walking with Loot after every game to his car. 198 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.759 Yeah, I remember, I can see that. I remember you 199 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.080 doing that because I wanted something different. Yeah, I had 200 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.600 to get something different than the star that you read 201 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.320 in the morning, So I got something different. Him and 202 00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:15.600 Bobby to the car got me the other four minutes 203 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.840 maybe of extra stuff that I didn't ask at the 204 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:19.519 podium because I didn't want anybody to know. 205 00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.360 Well, that's that's great that you do. 206 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.720 I mean, we probably could have rolled our cameras out 207 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.600 there too and tried to do the same thing. But 208 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.799 that was one of the beauties of the NCAA tournaments, 209 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.840 whereas it looks very you know, set up and formal, 210 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.960 but we always had that chance like, okay, well those 211 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.480 guys are talking the other half of the teams in 212 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:37.039 the locker rooms. 213 00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:38.840 You go in there. So yeah, he did get more 214 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.399 access postseason than you did. 215 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.360 Oh regular, no questions, and that's how you get that's 216 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:45.080 oh yeah, yeah, no, it's the same way. Now. The 217 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:50.039 funny thing about it is nineteen twenty eighteen, DeAndre was 218 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.240 a senior. Then we didn't know that he was a 219 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.080 cut up. He was a funny dude. He like he 220 00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.360 was a kid pretty much, and we didn't get to 221 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.480 see that until the Pac twelve tournament, Pack twelve turn Yeah, 222 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:01.759 and then the in CUAA tournament and we had that 223 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:03.519 one game in Buffalo and that was it. That was 224 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.039 but he was That was it Because you didn't, Yeah, 225 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:06.600 you didn't. 226 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:07.320 Is a shame. 227 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:09.159 Yeah, you know, it really is a shame because I 228 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.559 think that's kind of again not to harp back on 229 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.799 the past that much, but that's really kind of what 230 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.240 made this program, what it was in terms of personalities, 231 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.759 and you know, we were fortunate to have the Steve 232 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:21.879 Curz because we could talk to him and watch him 233 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:24.240 grow up and Sean and those kind of guys, and 234 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.159 that I couldn't tell him much about Caleb Love or 235 00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:29.600 Jayden Bradley. 236 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.200 No, no, no, no, imagine the Shawn years when come on, 237 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.399 how many of those guys are connected to this place? Yeah, honestly, 238 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.039 how many? Honor tej who you think that would be 239 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.399 the guy? He hasn't He's gone now. Kid. We just 240 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.840 talked about with Gordon. How often do they come back? Yeah, 241 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:47.879 you don't know them. One of the things that I 242 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.879 don't want to waxport a conlute all this much. But 243 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.399 he let them grow up. And maybe it was the 244 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.519 times when you just said, here, that's just don't say 245 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.559 anything stupid, you know, it was. 246 00:10:58.679 --> 00:10:59.240 It was different. 247 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.080 And now guys are saying, don't say anything stupid on 248 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.879 the podium, but you know, be careful what you say. 249 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.279 Yeah, well that's. 250 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.240 An interesting point too, because I mean there's been this 251 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.080 love affair with the lute guys, and how's it going 252 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.399 to be with the Sean Miller players, you know, because 253 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.279 he's not going to probably come back as Loot. 254 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.639 I mean lived here in his later years, no question. 255 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:21.799 Whereas you know, we have these you know, fantasy camps 256 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.919 and we have no Union games. You know, every so 257 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.399 often those are the Loot players. Yeah, what about the 258 00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.720 Sean Miller players. It's going to be an interesting dynamic 259 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.840 as they get older and time goes by, and maybe 260 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.039 Sean retires, maybe he comes back to Tucson. 261 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.519 Yeah I doubt that. 262 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.840 Well really whatever, but I mean, as he leaves basketball 263 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.000 and he's you know, he left after what twelve years. 264 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.480 It's a lot of players and a lot of success. 265 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.720 Right right. And another thing that I think the Loot's 266 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.279 time the guys, and you see this everywhere, how many 267 00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.360 of them are broadcasters. They were dealing with media all 268 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.559 the time. Yeah, they turned into the media. You know, 269 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.360 Sean does his spurs, Corey does his, Matt Milbuck does his, 270 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.960 Reggie does his Steve did. 271 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.399 His Steve did his go back? I bet I bet 272 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.440 he could go back. Yeah, when he's done. He's already 273 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.799 stepping away from the Olympics, So who knows how much 274 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.000 longer he's gonna want to go. Sure, I'm sure you know, 275 00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:17.720 there's a look what's happening with the NBA on television too? 276 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.120 In the next uh well, starting next year, there's going 277 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.840 to be games on every night basically everywhere, from Amazon 278 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:29.000 to NBC to the ESPN and TNT still so yeah, 279 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:29.759 there's a lot. 280 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.960 Of job openings. Did you see the game last night 281 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.519 the Chiefs? Yeah, so you watch back and forth the 282 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:37.320 basketball game and. 283 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.600 The beauty of having a laptop and a TV and yeah, 284 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.159 time on my hands, and yeah it was good. Yeah, 285 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:48.879 prett easy games. How about some of the receivers. I 286 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.200 know people have been talking about the catches. There's a 287 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.679 lot of great endings to games. And that Saquon Barkley 288 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.879 game where he turtled over somebody backwards. 289 00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:58.919 Yeah, that's a great grea. 290 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.679 The catch for the Roger touchdown was fantastic. 291 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:02.480 Yeah, oh yeah. 292 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.759 On Thursday that was the first game, and then the 293 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:08.080 Philadelphia catch and the Seahawks game. 294 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:10.720 So you watched the we got got a couple of 295 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.279 minutes here and I didn't see it. I really didn't 296 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.600 look at it. The girls, the women's game last night. 297 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.559 What did you see a little bit? Maybe is Michael 298 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.559 lev coming up? Maybe maybe there. I didn't watch much. 299 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.960 I mean you know, I just didn't have time. I 300 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:25.559 don't know the principals outside of Williams pretty much. 301 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.120 Yeah, there's a number of new players there. She's really 302 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.679 kind of turned that roster over too in the last 303 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:34.559 couple of years. I don't know, a couple of freshmen 304 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.759 and Jada Williams seems to be the star of the show. 305 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.360 Yeah, so we'll see what they do. You say she 306 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.919 turned the program, but she turned the roster over. I 307 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.879 think they may have been they turned the roster over 308 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.360 her and or vice you know, vice person. Yeah, maybe accommodation. 309 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:51.720 Yeah, I mean they had such a high a couple 310 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.080 of years ago, and it just they've had a hard time, 311 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.679 you know, getting back to that level. But again, you know, 312 00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:59.440 as everybody's gonna do. They got to move to a 313 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.120 new conference. So we'll see. Well, they're facing you. You 314 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:05.159 came here in eighty minute early eighties. Would you have 315 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.559 ever ever dreamed of what she would what anybody would 316 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:09.879 have done? 317 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.840 No, to me, it's impossible. When I went to the 318 00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:15.960 championship game of the of the n I T six 319 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.679 years ago, whatever years ago, I'm thinking, how did this happen? 320 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:24.279 Yeah, even in the Bambasini years, they didn't draw like that. No, 321 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.360 I mean, they had some success, they had you know 322 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.159 a number of teams that made the tournament and things 323 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.320 like that, but they didn't. They weren't putting, you know, 324 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:33.080 ten thousand fans into McHale for a for a women's game. 325 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.240 Yet that came later, and you know, it was again, 326 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.960 maybe circumstances are different. She's it was as again as 327 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.159 social media was a thing. Idea is really good at that, 328 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.960 and the un as really good at that, and there's 329 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.679 just more attention to the team and had a dynamic 330 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.519 player and Aery McDonald and Sam Thomas and people like that. 331 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.360 So it all kind of clicked. At least that one year, 332 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:57.840 right right, magic happened and it worked. Yeah, yeah, and 333 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:00.440 good good for her, and she'll live with that forever. 334 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:02.720 I mean, because you're one shot away from winning the 335 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.919 national title in a stunning fashion.
