Speaker 1: This is I on the Ball with Steve Rivera and
Speaker 1: Jay Gonzale sound Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. Subscribe now to
Speaker 1: the podcast on the iHeartRadio app Just Surgery I on
Speaker 1: the Ball.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to on the Ball here on Fox
Speaker 2: Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, he's Jay got rying with
Speaker 2: us today. I think we're gonna hear some good Brendan's.
Speaker 3: Clips, right, I think I think it's gonna work. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is the We're just complaining full. The questions might
Speaker 3: be a little hard to hear because this is off
Speaker 3: of my recorder and not off the your very quarter.
Speaker 3: So I try to lift the volume. Hopefully you can
Speaker 3: hear the questions. But Brandon, you can hear him players about.
Speaker 3: So let's hear the Brent Brandon press conference from today
Speaker 3: in full. So here we go.
Speaker 4: Right, good to see everybody. It's been a great summer.
Speaker 4: I really got to give Colin Carroll and our strength
Speaker 4: and conditioning staff a ton of credit. Just the effort,
Speaker 4: the energy that those guys brought every day. The way
Speaker 4: our team responded was just fantastic. So I feel great
Speaker 4: about where we're at kind of physically and and uh,
Speaker 4: you know, mentally going into the season.
Speaker 2: I think we're excited to get started.
Speaker 4: It's been a long year and but the staffs excited,
Speaker 4: you know. We July is kind of a time where
Speaker 4: the coaches get a little bit of time to be
Speaker 4: a dad or a husband or and coach Akeena's case,
Speaker 4: maybe a grandpa coach Bavers too, but and recharge a
Speaker 4: little bit. But we're back and we're excited to be back.
Speaker 4: And report day is always a special day and exciting day.
Speaker 2: And here we go started.
Speaker 3: Justin after the spring and the summer.
Speaker 5: Where you think are some things a team?
Speaker 4: That's a big question because there was a lot going
Speaker 4: on in the in the spring and summer, right, I
Speaker 4: think I think the best way I could say it is,
Speaker 4: so many of these young men made the unpopular, always
Speaker 4: the unselfish choice, and they chose to stay together. They
Speaker 4: made that choice for each other when they had right
Speaker 4: since I came on, and then also post spring practice,
Speaker 4: post spring practice, they all had forty five days where
Speaker 4: they could have chosen to stay or to go right.
Speaker 4: And there's only I think I think there was seven
Speaker 4: changes in division on football last year at head coaches, right,
Speaker 4: those are those seven schools out all had to deal
Speaker 4: with that thirty day portal the day the head coach left.
Speaker 4: That's a really unique thing and it really complicated, and
Speaker 4: I just think the players here are really special because
Speaker 4: they chose to stay committed to each other and that's
Speaker 4: not happening a lot right now in college football. So
Speaker 4: from that, from that perspective, I feel great about. You know,
Speaker 4: what we've learned over the last six months or so
Speaker 4: that we've been together is that these guys love each
Speaker 4: other and they're committed to each other, and I think
Speaker 4: that's a great place to start with the football team
Speaker 4: as far.
Speaker 3: As pos as bad as goes.
Speaker 6: You want that to get out of.
Speaker 2: Way in the next couple of weeks.
Speaker 4: When you think that some of those comparios, that's hard
Speaker 4: to say, you know, I think some of those things
Speaker 4: are they're decisively you know, ended early in camp, and
Speaker 4: some of those things can't be determined until you start
Speaker 4: playing real football, and so that'll be a case by
Speaker 4: case basis. But I do feel good about the people
Speaker 4: that we've added to the roster.
Speaker 2: I think they've given us.
Speaker 4: A you know, we're all you're always trying to increase
Speaker 4: competition at each position, so that every single day when
Speaker 4: they're out there on the practice field, it's incredibly that
Speaker 4: it's high pressure and it's highly intense, and so that
Speaker 4: they're used to operating in the space where you know,
Speaker 4: there's success and failure and consequences. And when you have
Speaker 4: a lot of competition at each position, that just causes
Speaker 4: everybody to elevate. And that's what we're trying to do
Speaker 4: with our football team.
Speaker 3: Brian Peterson, speaking of all those newer players that have shown.
Speaker 2: Show up spree.
Speaker 7: You get integrated.
Speaker 8: To GPS, it's this first weeks that doesn't happen getting at.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: I mean, if there's people that we brought in here
Speaker 4: thinking they can have an impact in the on this
Speaker 4: football team this season, they're going to be thrown into
Speaker 4: the fire, you know. And and I tell the guys
Speaker 4: that just got here now it's a little easier for
Speaker 4: them because they've been through it, uh in another place,
Speaker 4: but they've been through it. But I tell them the
Speaker 4: same thing I told the freshmen. You know, like you're
Speaker 4: accountable for what you know, and and you know kind
Speaker 4: of the effort and your and your your attitude, like
Speaker 4: those things you can control every single day. And so
Speaker 4: as they step into being a part of this football
Speaker 4: team here. If they want to play, prove it. That's
Speaker 4: why we have practice. Prove it.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 8: Michael Levin and David I know that we're sure to
Speaker 8: talk about this season like the house settlement, that's going
Speaker 8: to have a great impact on.
Speaker 1: The next season and feature season.
Speaker 8: When you saw the one hundred and five player roster
Speaker 8: limits ten those team scholarship one hundred five players, what
Speaker 8: were your thoughts on that, how it might impact roster construction, recruiting,
Speaker 8: et cetera.
Speaker 4: My reaction was, whow, we have a lot to talk about,
Speaker 4: you know. But really, for me, at the places I've.
Speaker 2: Been the last.
Speaker 4: Twenty years, twenty plus years, we always start a camp
Speaker 4: with one oh five.
Speaker 2: That was it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It wasn't until COVID that we were able to add
Speaker 4: five more players at San Jose State. So for me,
Speaker 4: a roster of one oh five is that's sop. You know,
Speaker 4: That's what it's been. You know, that's what you brought
Speaker 4: to camp. And I was never at a school that
Speaker 4: either had a budget or could comply Title nine wise
Speaker 4: to take that roster to one thirty or one forty
Speaker 4: like some schools do. I've never experienced that, So we
Speaker 4: had to find ways to win football games with one
Speaker 4: oh five every place I've ever been.
Speaker 2: Basically, we heard a lot of people.
Speaker 10: Talk about on That's how the furbage the same. It's
Speaker 10: very similar to what the thought that stuffed with last year.
Speaker 10: How that's explained, but that you know what we have
Speaker 10: in line the players in the transition.
Speaker 2: From well, I think everybody.
Speaker 4: I mean, if if you watch a football game on
Speaker 4: any level, lots of people are running some variation of
Speaker 4: similar stuff, right, and it's comes down to the quality
Speaker 4: of players in the execution. And so for us in
Speaker 4: this instance, if there was something that Coach Fisher's staff
Speaker 4: did offensively, there was a concept of thought, a scheme
Speaker 4: that we believed in as a coaching staff, then we
Speaker 4: just borrowed the verbiage that our players were used to,
Speaker 4: so that we put the onus of learning on the coaches.
Speaker 4: So it's better to have ten guys learn it than
Speaker 4: have seventy, and so that was just a simpler way.
Speaker 4: And it's also coaches are used to that, right, We're
Speaker 4: changing names, creating new plays, learning other people's stuff all
Speaker 4: the time, and so you know that I just thought
Speaker 4: that was an easier way for us to proceed then,
Speaker 4: for us to come in here and say, hey, we're
Speaker 4: doing all this stuff and this is what we call it,
Speaker 4: and all you players here learn it. That just didn't
Speaker 4: make sense to me.
Speaker 8: Troy and Craig were a screen.
Speaker 4: All you said that you guys wanted to add two
Speaker 4: weas of the depth.
Speaker 8: Charge there and you're able to get out what you
Speaker 8: want to see out of the backup we'nac desition.
Speaker 11: What is your kind of standard guy behind th screw five?
Speaker 4: Well, I think that's one of those questions. It has
Speaker 4: to play out a little bit, you know. I thought,
Speaker 4: you know, Brayden and h and cold and in a really
Speaker 4: nice job in spring in the spring game, and I
Speaker 4: saw you You saw them both compete and throw some
Speaker 4: good balls in that in that spring game and complete
Speaker 4: some passes. So you know, adding the other two is
Speaker 4: gonna be fun. I think that part of it will
Speaker 4: again like play out over time, and uh, you know,
Speaker 4: those guys are all going to get turns, and you know,
Speaker 4: now how we manage that. We're going to get into
Speaker 4: that and kind of be a little bit specific about
Speaker 4: what we think that can be but you know, first
Speaker 4: and foremost and most important thing is getting that first
Speaker 4: group ready to go right and so and and then
Speaker 4: you know, I've been telling players this for years, but uh,
Speaker 4: you know, if you're second team thirteen, fourteen, whatever, what
Speaker 4: do you do with their chances you get? If you
Speaker 4: get two reps?
Speaker 2: Do those two reps say you should get four?
Speaker 4: Or do those two reps say you should get zero? Right,
Speaker 4: and so it'll be on them to perform.
Speaker 5: And coach Grand Steve.
Speaker 2: It makes overall picture.
Speaker 3: Seven months is probably a little bit before you tasting.
Speaker 8: You wish you got a couple four to eight to
Speaker 8: give four starts tomorrow or are.
Speaker 4: You ready to get I wish I had a couple
Speaker 4: more days on the lake, I think, But uh no, honestly,
Speaker 4: you know, with my family, but I'm excited to be back,
Speaker 4: and I think the staff is and the players, you know,
Speaker 4: with even the players that I talked to, you know
Speaker 4: over the weekend, everyone's excited to get going. It's It's
Speaker 4: the cool thing about this job is that you there's
Speaker 4: like a natural structure to your calendar, like there is
Speaker 4: a specific you know, you know what's coming. And so
Speaker 4: as you start to get into late July, everybody starts
Speaker 4: to feel that excitement. There's more football on television, there's
Speaker 4: more people talking about it. When you see people wherever,
Speaker 4: you know, out at the supermarket or at the wherever Chipotle,
Speaker 4: they're like, you guys, ready for the year, and it
Speaker 4: just it starts building that momentum and so that that
Speaker 4: part of it is exciting. I'm excited that that it's
Speaker 4: that it's it's August and we're kicking it off.
Speaker 2: Let's go.
Speaker 10: So there was a lot of talk about with the coach,
Speaker 10: the player tea and spring intitially you guys are ady
Speaker 10: Microsoft tablets just with the nicasion the tables, how to.
Speaker 4: Use coach that we're going to practice with it as
Speaker 4: much as we can during training camp there. You know,
Speaker 4: we've had a lot of conversations with people about how
Speaker 4: to utilize it or you know, kind of best practices there.
Speaker 4: But I think that's going to be a little bit
Speaker 4: specific to our staff and how, you know, the value
Speaker 4: our coaches find in it and kind of what we're
Speaker 4: what we're able to like pull off of it, and
Speaker 4: how quickly we can get that stuff integrated to our process.
Speaker 4: You know, we like is as assistant coaches or you know,
Speaker 4: college coaches. We've been watching high schools do it for
Speaker 4: shoot ten years maybe more, you know, So I think
Speaker 4: we're all excited about it because of the information you're
Speaker 4: going to be getting in real time and be able
Speaker 4: to provide your players a picture or a video of
Speaker 4: what's happening in real time.
Speaker 10: Dat coach going to the lay with the family, that's
Speaker 10: such a layable part of that mission.
Speaker 2: Water ski and that's something we've done, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've been going to the same lake with my
Speaker 4: family for forty years. So it's just my wife and
Speaker 4: I got engaged there twenty five years twenty four years ago,
Speaker 4: twenty five years ago. When we're up there, it's always
Speaker 4: our anniversary, which was this summer twenty on the fifteenth
Speaker 4: of July, and it's been twenty twenty four amazing years
Speaker 4: according to me, at least, I'm not sure what she'd say,
Speaker 4: but but no, it's it's just great. It's cool because
Speaker 4: now we're you know, now the third generation is up
Speaker 4: there together, so there's this group of families we've all
Speaker 4: grown up together. It's just a really special place to me,
Speaker 4: and so I always look forward to get a little
Speaker 4: bit of time up there. You say that it's Donner Lake,
Speaker 4: northern California, right by Tahoe. My mom lives there in town,
Speaker 4: right so my mom lives in Trucky. So all my
Speaker 4: brothers and sisters and their families go, and you know,
Speaker 4: as you get older, it's just hard to get the
Speaker 4: whole family together. Everybody's got work in life and kids
Speaker 4: and all that stuff going on. So so it's always
Speaker 4: a special time when we're up there together.
Speaker 8: It was asked Brian trying to confirm the Sasses drops
Speaker 8: Sean Ross.
Speaker 4: He's going to be part of us, but he's unable
Speaker 4: to participate in the fall.
Speaker 1: Don't have anybody that gets.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, we'll get that list to you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I've said before I'm not going to talk about kind
Speaker 4: of the medical issues and just not because when you do,
Speaker 4: it just becomes the whole focus of everything. And and
Speaker 4: I'm excited about the football season starting, and I want
Speaker 4: to talk about the guys that are available. That's where
Speaker 4: the story is. That's the fun stuff. Noah Fafida and
Speaker 4: t Mac and Gunner and Stukes and Manu coming back
Speaker 4: and savonaa like like you know that that's the fun stuff.
Speaker 4: And that's where I want to focus.
Speaker 12: Last question to Jenna during spring, you know where you
Speaker 12: first got your focus was really using together during spring,
Speaker 12: it is trying to get you what is your biggest
Speaker 12: focus a start.
Speaker 4: I think every football team during fall camp is trying
Speaker 4: to continue to build that connection, that brotherhood. But then
Speaker 4: there's a physical component that you really haven't been able
Speaker 4: to do with the consistency that you do in fall
Speaker 4: and this is the time where you start to build that.
Speaker 4: This is where your team comes together off the field
Speaker 4: and on the field, and it's a and it's hard,
Speaker 4: and it's hot, and it's you're tired and you're beat up.
Speaker 4: And the choices that those players make every day to
Speaker 4: get up and come together and do this again and
Speaker 4: put in the work together. It's it's the most fun
Speaker 4: part of the football season is getting started and building
Speaker 4: the football team.
Speaker 2: Well, there you have it, all right, that's it. He's
Speaker 2: there's no splash about him. Yeah, he just kind of
Speaker 2: just gives you the answers. And before we had him
Speaker 2: on the show and we talked about this with with
Speaker 2: rich Tomy and we told him about it. The last
Speaker 2: guy to be like told me is this guy. Yes,
Speaker 2: he just kind of tells you how it is, how
Speaker 2: he feels.
Speaker 3: He's not trying to be spectacular, right to be, He's not.
Speaker 3: He's not trying to be a sales guy. He's what
Speaker 3: are you talking about? What you talking about to refer
Speaker 3: He's not trying to be the circus barker, you know,
Speaker 3: He's just this is who he is. And I think
Speaker 3: that's the approach that.
Speaker 2: Works because he represents too.
Speaker 3: Because remember Mike stupids and he's jumping around and screaming
Speaker 3: and people hated that. Yeah, yeah said they hated that,
Speaker 3: but they just were uncomfortable with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're off put there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Rich kind of to that degree to him.
Speaker 2: As well, the lesser kind of thing.
Speaker 3: Then you went to someone who didn't give a crap
Speaker 3: and he just like, can you wake up? Can you
Speaker 3: please wake up and and and call this? So you know, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean I think he's he fits with what fans
Speaker 3: of Arizona football, yeah, want their coach to be in
Speaker 3: terms of just how he looks in his approach. So
Speaker 3: we'll see, we'll see if you can coach, we.
Speaker 2: Can talk more about that. The next hour after we
Speaker 2: talked to coach Bush, Craig Bush, the former Olympic head
Speaker 2: coach of the swimming team and team you say, and
Speaker 2: then you here as well, so we'll come back with you.

Speaker 2: and if I only have former, well we have Frank
Speaker 2: Bush the former you a swim coach and also former
Speaker 2: Olympic swim coach, former former former. I bet you, I
Speaker 2: bet you have a great life for that former because
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about anything.
Speaker 16: I think that would be putting back anything else in
Speaker 16: front of my name.
Speaker 2: How's life and how's life?
Speaker 17: One?
Speaker 2: I know it's pretty good because where you're at. But
Speaker 2: I'm sure or I lost this in a fair way.
Speaker 2: Do you miss uh what's going on now? Paris? No, No,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 5: I'm I.
Speaker 16: Having been to five Olympics, I really I don't miss
Speaker 16: all the a effort and energy that's required for the
Speaker 16: preparation and then all with things go on during the
Speaker 16: game themselves.
Speaker 3: So so you know, as a former coach and somebody
Speaker 3: who's been a part of this, he said, five Olympics,
Speaker 3: do you how do you watch them?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: How do you pay attention to them? How do you
Speaker 3: keep up with them? Or do you know, are you
Speaker 3: staying up till two o'clock in the morning to watch
Speaker 3: you know, maybe some athletes that you knew of or
Speaker 3: coach by people you know, or do you just kind
Speaker 3: of take it like the rest of us? Do you
Speaker 3: watch it when whenever, whenever it's convenient to you. How
Speaker 3: how much of a fan. Are you above it?
Speaker 16: I'm a big fan of the Olympics, but I do
Speaker 16: not chase my sleep time to watch preliminaries of any
Speaker 16: of the events. But I enjoy watching all sorts of
Speaker 16: different sports, and obviously I enjoyed watching the swimming finals.
Speaker 2: We had Chrissy perraman in about a week or so ago.
Speaker 2: She wanted to what if you ask you is she?
Speaker 2: Is she your favorite Chrissy? And I says, are there
Speaker 2: other ones? I won't get it to her story the bit,
Speaker 2: so just go ahead and say yes, I'm sure she's listening. Absolutely, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: uh uh, there was something. Oh you know, I asked
Speaker 2: her about times. You would know this better than anybody.
Speaker 2: I was watching some swimming last night, and I don't
Speaker 2: think they had at least last night. Up to last night,
Speaker 2: there have not been many world records set. What's up
Speaker 2: with that? Are they just faster back in the day
Speaker 2: or or what what's up with that?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 16: I think there's two things.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait, coach, coach, coach, coach, you're breaking up
Speaker 2: a lot. I'm sorry you're breaking up. We're having a
Speaker 2: heart choppy. You might want to get to the window
Speaker 2: or something. I'm not sure your your phone is breaking up.
Speaker 16: Let me see if I can't get closer to something
Speaker 16: that would easier for you.
Speaker 2: Yes, please?
Speaker 10: All right? Is this?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Much?
Speaker 2: Okay? What time?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 16: Well? I number one, I've heard and I have not
Speaker 16: read that the facility the depth that this normally is,
Speaker 16: so that would make a difference in the amount of
Speaker 16: waves that are in the pool, which would make a
Speaker 16: difference in how fast people are swimming. Interesting, And I
Speaker 16: think just just sometimes the pressure, you know, you you
Speaker 16: It's kind of like I told someone that sometimes you
Speaker 16: win ugly, you don't. That means you don't do you're
Speaker 16: not at your best. But pressure affects everybody a little
Speaker 16: bit differently, and I think I think the real grit
Speaker 16: of an athlete comes to the forefront when you when
Speaker 16: you see someone win but it's not their best performance.
Speaker 2: Well, what that's strange about the physics of the pool?
Speaker 2: If it's yeah, if it's smaller or lower, whatever it is,
Speaker 2: how does that work? Coach?
Speaker 10: E there?
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, you're breaking up again. I'm sorry, you're breaking
Speaker 2: up again. I'm not sure what's going on.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm kind of them. Mount mcmnville, Oregon out and
Speaker 16: the boonies and on a on a farm.
Speaker 2: No, that's fine that.
Speaker 16: You want me to try and call you.
Speaker 2: Uh No, we're fine.
Speaker 3: Let's let's seah, let's let's get through this as much
Speaker 3: as best we can so we can hear you most.
Speaker 3: But Steve was asking, the depth of the pool affects speed?
Speaker 9: It does?
Speaker 16: Wow, it does if if a pool is not if
Speaker 16: a pool is not at a minimum of I think
Speaker 16: they've the testing that they've done. If aol is not
Speaker 16: minimum of at least eight feet or or maybe it's
Speaker 16: even three meters, then there's reverberation from the waves off
Speaker 16: the bottom of the pool and the side of the
Speaker 16: pool as the turbulence is being caused. So more turbulence,
Speaker 16: slower swims.
Speaker 3: Interesting because because we saw that in in in Indianapolis,
Speaker 3: they built a pool inside the inside the stadium, and
Speaker 3: they're going to do I think they're going to do
Speaker 3: that in la I don't know if that's what they've
Speaker 3: done in Paris, But so is that going to have
Speaker 3: an impact on all of that?
Speaker 16: It's it's my understanding all the Olympics that I've been
Speaker 16: to have all the the the technical improvement in putting
Speaker 16: together facilities they could put one in McHale Center. You
Speaker 16: can put one anywhere. Obviously they did that. They did
Speaker 16: that in Lucas Oil Stadium for this year's trials, and
Speaker 16: they've done that in Omaha well a few times. So yes,
Speaker 16: normally when they put in a particular company's pool, the
Speaker 16: pool is ten feet deep. I'm not sure that this.
Speaker 17: Is one of those pools, right.
Speaker 16: I don't know if this is a permanent facility, but
Speaker 16: generally speaking, these are just temporary facilities. Because if I'm
Speaker 16: not mistaken, this was Taylor Swift. Was there two weeks
Speaker 16: before the.
Speaker 17: Pool was put in?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're right. Wow, you're right, No wonder I'm
Speaker 2: slow in my pool. Just toss you, okay, you don't
Speaker 2: miss it. But I'm sure you've got great memories of
Speaker 2: being the guy with the swim team, because what, you know,
Speaker 2: what gets bigger than this, But.
Speaker 16: In our sport, not bigger. In the sport of swimming,
Speaker 16: nothing's bigger than the Olympics, And in many of the sports,
Speaker 16: nothing's bigger than the Olympics. So, uh, you know, this
Speaker 16: is where Olympic sports are. The are the place where
Speaker 16: all countries in the world, generally speaking, participate and are
Speaker 16: competitive in the sports that are offered. Now, as you
Speaker 16: can tell, there's no baseball. There's no softball in this
Speaker 16: particular Olympics. The host teams and the host countries have
Speaker 16: a little bit of a leeway in regards to wanting
Speaker 16: to bring in maybe four sports that they like and
Speaker 16: are popular in their country or in in nearby countries.
Speaker 16: And when you bring in new sports, you have to
Speaker 16: exit other sports. Right when we get when we get
Speaker 16: to LA, softball and baseball will be in for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, okay, So let's uh, you know what you mentioned, Okay,
Speaker 3: the Olympic sports, and that's a Those are two words
Speaker 3: that are tied to everything going on in college athletics
Speaker 3: right now. We've had conversations with you about nil and
Speaker 3: all that stuff. We're talking about revenue sharing and you
Speaker 3: know the impact that may have on the Olympic sports,
Speaker 3: you know, at the college level in the in the US.
Speaker 3: You know, in some you know, you hear some people
Speaker 3: talk about it. They say some of them are in
Speaker 3: danger of being eliminated because of all, you know, the
Speaker 3: money and all that kind of stuff. From where you sit,
Speaker 3: what do you see about all this? You know, you
Speaker 3: you you've got some you got a lot of background
Speaker 3: in this what's the future there, because it's it's certainly
Speaker 3: uncertain right now, but at some point we've got to
Speaker 3: figure this out, right, what we're going to do with
Speaker 3: all these sports and what they're gonna do with all
Speaker 3: the money, and where it's going to go.
Speaker 16: Okay, well, I'm going to start with first of all,
Speaker 16: the one of the biggest advantages that the United States
Speaker 16: has always had over other countries is that the uso
Speaker 16: PC does not receive any government funding, which makes it
Speaker 16: a much more agile and a much more orderly way
Speaker 16: in order to support sports. And so you don't have
Speaker 16: to go through the checkdown, government committees, task force, all
Speaker 16: that kind of stuff. So looking forward to where colleges,
Speaker 16: so the USOPC has been so dependent on colleges to
Speaker 16: put together so many of their strengths in the sports
Speaker 16: that they've sponsored, and that are Olympic sports. Right now
Speaker 16: here we are in this situation where we have not
Speaker 16: just not just the most recent settlement, the two point
Speaker 16: seven billion dollar settlement, but I would imagine the two
Speaker 16: of you have been able to read what's coming down
Speaker 16: the pike from a legal standpoint towards the NC Double A,
Speaker 16: and it's just one case after another. This is the
Speaker 16: first one of many. So the way I look at
Speaker 16: this is it's just a matter of time before the
Speaker 16: NC Double A Number one will file for bankruptcy because
Speaker 16: it won't be able to cover all the legal costs
Speaker 16: that are coming down their way once. Once that happens,
Speaker 16: I have no idea if the NCAA will continue in
Speaker 16: regards to Division two, Division three, or anything in Division one.
Speaker 16: I know the contract with Basketball and CBS in play
Speaker 16: for several more years. I don't know exactly what the
Speaker 16: end date is there, but once once all the schools
Speaker 16: decide that we want to play at we're going to
Speaker 16: play by a set of rules that they put in
Speaker 16: play both. I would imagine there's going to be some
Speaker 16: academics thrown in for what reasons. I'm not quite sure
Speaker 16: yet that I guess to make sure that we can
Speaker 16: still use the term student athlete, which, as you and
Speaker 16: I both know, is kind of turning into a joke.
Speaker 16: So as we move As we move forward with this,
Speaker 16: I'm not sure. I just know that in the next
Speaker 16: twelve to twenty four months, college sports as we've known
Speaker 16: them in the past will be so different. I'm really
Speaker 16: not sure what paths are going to go down.
Speaker 3: Well mentioned Utah coach what he said, Well, Kyle Winningham
Speaker 3: basically said that, you know, we're going to break up
Speaker 3: into two super conferences or two super leagues, and somebody's
Speaker 3: getting left behind because it's not going to be sixty right,
Speaker 3: it's not going to be or whatever the power for
Speaker 3: conferences make up. So that's going to change it all.
Speaker 3: Would you be an advocate of one of the things
Speaker 3: that's been talked about is just separating football and maybe
Speaker 3: even men's basketball, just separating those and take everything else
Speaker 3: back to more of a regional approach. I mean, why
Speaker 3: should cal tennis be going to play at North Carolina State?
Speaker 3: You know those kinds of things. Does somebody have to
Speaker 3: come out and say we need to do this and
Speaker 3: can how can that possibly happen?
Speaker 16: Well, first of all, I think that conversation has probably
Speaker 16: been had in the majority of athletic departments. I don't
Speaker 16: know that there are going to be any requirements for
Speaker 16: Olympic sports to do any travel that their budgets won't
Speaker 16: allow them to. And I would think that any athletic
Speaker 16: directors would would say to their sports that don't generate
Speaker 16: revenue that they will be you know, we want you
Speaker 16: to be within a six hundred eight hundred thousand mile
Speaker 16: radius of our campus to compete. The second thing is
Speaker 16: is that, as you know, there are only two sports.
Speaker 16: Now there may be another sport in some particular schools,
Speaker 16: but there's only two sports that actually have positive income.
Speaker 16: It's men's basketball and men's football. Everything else, everything else
Speaker 16: is a negative generator. I don't care you know what
Speaker 16: you say about women's softballer women's basketball, and what Kay
Speaker 16: and Clark has done and so forth, because the amount
Speaker 16: of travel that they do, the amount of games that
Speaker 16: are required. Just like softball every other weekend they're traveling.
Speaker 16: Basketball the other week they're traveling, so the costs are
Speaker 16: tremendous and I have no idea what that will mean
Speaker 16: to any sport that doesn't generate revenue. However, we haven't
Speaker 16: mentioned much about Title nine yet, and any school that
Speaker 16: receives government funding is going to have to probably not
Speaker 16: be able to wink anymore about the fact that that
Speaker 16: they're compliant with Title nine, because I don't know any
Speaker 16: school in the country it's even close to being compliant.
Speaker 2: With title nine.
Speaker 16: So there are so many there are so many things
Speaker 16: in effect right now that I really can't predict what's
Speaker 16: going to happen to the sports that don't generate revenue.
Speaker 2: Right Well, let me ask your selfish question that you'll
Speaker 2: have to kind of be honest if you want to
Speaker 2: answer it, and I know the answer. I think we
Speaker 2: both know the answer. You're a heck of a coach.
Speaker 2: You were a heck of a coach, and you got
Speaker 2: the best out of your kids, obviously because he did so. Well,
Speaker 2: what do you think your secret sauce is or was?
Speaker 2: I think I know what it is.
Speaker 16: I think the best coaches are the ones that are
Speaker 16: the best communicators, because if you build a relationship with
Speaker 16: your athletes, and I'm not talking about a friendship relationship,
Speaker 16: I'm talking about a respect relationship with your athletes, then
Speaker 16: they're going to do whatever you ask them to do,
Speaker 16: and they're going to enjoy the process because they know
Speaker 16: that you're doing it for their good and there and
Speaker 16: they know that they're going to be their best if
Speaker 16: they follow that plan. But it's it just to me,
Speaker 16: it's it's if they believe in you. That's ninety percent
Speaker 16: of everything.
Speaker 2: No, and that's it, because it's like with Luke or people,
Speaker 2: they run that extra mile they want they don't want
Speaker 2: to disappoint Frank Bush. In fact, we again, we had
Speaker 2: Christian a week or so ago, and she said, you
Speaker 2: put her, you pulled her aside and says, I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if this is going to work. She had to
Speaker 2: get you know, told this is not going to work,
Speaker 2: and you said, come back in a couple of days
Speaker 2: or whatever, and maybe you read about your life and
Speaker 2: she said, I did that and it changed my world.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's there's and you know, there are some athletes
Speaker 16: that you that you try and you continue to try,
Speaker 16: and you continue to try to.
Speaker 12: Work with it.
Speaker 16: Sometimes they're just not ready. And you know the old saying,
Speaker 16: when the when the when the student is ready, the
Speaker 16: teacher will appear. And that's really the way that it worked.
Speaker 16: And so in her particular case, she realized that she
Speaker 16: had put so much time and effort into something and
Speaker 16: didn't want to I didn't want to disappoint anybody. And
Speaker 16: I think when you come to that realization that you
Speaker 16: love something enough that you're willing to give whatever it takes,
Speaker 16: then it becomes a life changer.
Speaker 2: Coach. Let me say next time on or if I
Speaker 2: I remember on who wants to be a millionaire? Can
Speaker 2: you use you as my phonal friend? You're so damn smart.
Speaker 16: Oh, you guys, you give me too much credit for anytime,
Speaker 16: anytime I can help the U of A and anytime
Speaker 16: I can help out sports. I am happy to talk.
Speaker 2: Well, enjoy your grandkids, enjoy Oregon, and thanks a bunch
Speaker 2: for today. Always good nice talking to you. Got it, Thanks, Frank,
Speaker 2: I appreciate.
Speaker 3: You, dude, the good smart, one more guy who's just
Speaker 3: smarter than the both of us combined.
Speaker 2: See a lot of things. He said it there in
Speaker 2: terms of timele lining, and they wink wink about it.
Speaker 3: Well, I yeah, I mean didn't we think that everybody's
Speaker 3: supposed to be complying? Don't you?
Speaker 2: Is there a law that says you're supposed to so
Speaker 2: apparently just there is, But it doesn't really matter. You
Speaker 2: can drive seventy seventy eighty five in the seventy five
Speaker 2: while did they said somebody else? I can't remember what
Speaker 2: it was. That that kind of like, well, really that's
Speaker 2: the pool thing was what?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, making waves, I'm just dating class.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly because I you know, I just kind of
Speaker 3: stayed the three foot in anyways, right, you gonna sit
Speaker 3: on the steps and that's it, man, See doo, sit

Speaker 1: on the ball on Tucson Sports Steage yet Fox Sports
Speaker 1: fourteen to fifty streaming live. I mean, iHeart Radiom.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to win the ball, you know, Fox
Speaker 2: Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, He's Jay. We got Ryan
Speaker 2: with us. We got fifteen minutes. If you want to call,
Speaker 2: please do. But we're going to get to the kin
Speaker 2: of stuff as well, right, not all.
Speaker 3: Of it, just some of it. Well there's only two, Yeah,
Speaker 3: just a couple of moneys.
Speaker 2: He was long for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, while we were with them for twenty minutes that
Speaker 3: I was he was supposed to be gone. I mean
Speaker 3: they actually they he was in the middle of of
Speaker 3: what I was hoping was going to be a great
Speaker 3: answer and they pulled him out. Yeah, it's stapping to
Speaker 3: get to. But he talked about two two things that
Speaker 3: came up, and you know, just in that time and
Speaker 3: that a little bit of time, but there were two
Speaker 3: things that I really wanted to pull out of that.
Speaker 3: And again I've been talking about, you know, these ten
Speaker 3: win seasons that Arizona has had, there have been four
Speaker 3: of them. Last year was the fourth one after the
Speaker 3: other three things went south. You know, they didn't reach
Speaker 3: the expectations that they had. So you know, in this
Speaker 3: first clip, he's he's going to talk a little bit
Speaker 3: about the ninety two seasons, all right, and so hear
Speaker 3: this out because to me, this clip gives me some hope,
Speaker 3: I guess, or makes me feel better about what we
Speaker 3: might see this coming year. So let's play this first
Speaker 3: clip where he goes back in time a little bit
Speaker 3: because he was he was the defensive coordinator on that team,
Speaker 3: and I think he was also he was also the
Speaker 3: DC for the ninety eight team. So let's let's play
Speaker 3: this first clip from Duane Quina.
Speaker 11: After being here for two weeks, I remember going home
Speaker 11: Tilly Donald, you know, I mean, I really like the vigue.
Speaker 19: In the defense ave out because I think, and then
Speaker 19: we'll find out, we'll.
Speaker 11: Find out how we are when life girl, let's go.
Speaker 19: And then I really knew after the Mississippi States game
Speaker 19: was because it was an opportunity for people to play
Speaker 19: favor and the only ones that we pointed where they are.
Speaker 17: So we still could have been better defensively.
Speaker 11: You know, nobody was the man this time.
Speaker 19: None of it was in how can we just keep
Speaker 19: getting better? And that's when I knew that we really
Speaker 19: had a chance.
Speaker 10: And last year.
Speaker 11: Reminded me so much of the ninety two seasons. Me
Speaker 11: and Jimmy Young were talking about this because you know,
Speaker 11: we went into that manager and at the only the one,
Speaker 11: one and one every.
Speaker 19: Few guys, good friends, but you know, we weren't the
Speaker 19: favorite people in Tucson walking out.
Speaker 2: But we went there and we was tough one.
Speaker 9: We kicked the dog out of the man, beat the
Speaker 9: dog out of them, and we missed a field with
Speaker 9: no time left Jack and then that thing just got
Speaker 9: us rolling.
Speaker 19: And by the end of it, now we could have
Speaker 19: lined up and played anybody in the country. And we
Speaker 19: beat Washington, you know, and then we went on aheather.
Speaker 19: That's what it reminded me of last year. We had
Speaker 19: a tough one at this seat because I thought we
Speaker 19: had a chance of being a good defense. I just
Speaker 19: didn't know how good you And you know how when
Speaker 19: you take over a new program, they had gotten beaten.
Speaker 3: Up, The defense had gotten beaten up.
Speaker 11: As I was hearing the histories with the coaches that
Speaker 11: have been around, so part of that is to change
Speaker 11: the attitude. And so we really did play well against
Speaker 11: sc We let that one get away, that one, that
Speaker 11: one I think, okay, we should have had a chance.
Speaker 11: And then we played Washington very well, and that's why
Speaker 11: I just remember the discussions me and Jim were having
Speaker 11: after that Miami came.
Speaker 3: We still have a chance to get to see worlding.
Speaker 19: And then we went out and then every game became
Speaker 19: a bigger game.
Speaker 11: And I was sharing that to the defensive staff after
Speaker 11: we went and played Washington State afterward, and that was.
Speaker 16: Not a fair fight.
Speaker 19: I mentioned it in the staff game. This got a
Speaker 19: chance time like two and we just kept getting little
Speaker 19: better better, and then the defense kind of what we thought,
Speaker 19: they started really trusting and believing that because you know,
Speaker 19: they had a tough go over two years.
Speaker 9: Behime, all part of it is.
Speaker 18: Where we are today.
Speaker 3: You know, I think we gained some national respect.
Speaker 19: The biggest thing that I know about being here.
Speaker 11: There's been a lot of ground work laid down, a
Speaker 11: lot of sacrifice.
Speaker 3: To get to this.
Speaker 16: Plights here everybody there.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 11: The key is just to maintain, you know, stay away
Speaker 11: from the outside knowings. I don't read the magazines and
Speaker 11: the arm shirts. Some nice things have been said about us.
Speaker 3: Collectively or individually.
Speaker 19: You know, now with all the outside knows you're transmit
Speaker 19: to ani Am, Now it's family, it's friends, it's students.
Speaker 11: To block all that out and not listen to any
Speaker 11: of that.
Speaker 3: You're poison.
Speaker 9: Don't need to choose, however, you choose to say it, right,
Speaker 9: I mean.
Speaker 2: And that's our job.
Speaker 19: If somebody's getting out a way like I'm uprot, I
Speaker 19: would call you. But maintaining that it's kind of a trick.
Speaker 19: I'm not getting complacent. I don't think we could be there, but.
Speaker 3: You know what I right?
Speaker 2: So that was it, right, It was good he was.
Speaker 3: And what he talked about was he compared for I've
Speaker 3: been comparing last season's ten and three to their un
Speaker 3: of the ten and three season. He compared last season
Speaker 3: to the ninety two season, which, as we all know,
Speaker 3: the next season was when they won ten games in
Speaker 3: one and bet and won the Fiskebal. People forget, and
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the schedule right now. People forget that
Speaker 3: there was that great win against Washington, number one in
Speaker 3: the country, beat them, you know, beat him six sixteen
Speaker 3: to three. Here one the greatest wins, if not the
Speaker 3: greatest win in Arizona football history. They lost their next
Speaker 3: three games after that, and that season turned out ended
Speaker 3: up on a huge downer. Yeah, you know, so they
Speaker 3: they you know they they went to USC, got beat
Speaker 3: fourteen to seven, as you came and beat him here
Speaker 3: seven to six on a long run late in the game,
Speaker 3: and then they went over to Baylor and laid laid
Speaker 3: hughe egg there. I mean went to the Sun Bowl later,
Speaker 3: UJ gets Baylor that that team ended up going six
Speaker 3: and five, and it is widely considered one of the
Speaker 3: best teams in Arizona ever because the desert swarm. But
Speaker 3: people forget the hit. That team had no offense and
Speaker 3: and but my point is he saw and we talked
Speaker 3: about this, Steve, Remember we talked about we compared the
Speaker 3: USC game last year to the Miami game from the
Speaker 3: ninety two season, where close it was a loss against
Speaker 3: a team that you were completely outmanned by, but yet
Speaker 3: you felt that turned things for you. And it did.
Speaker 3: And he just said that's where he thought the season
Speaker 3: turned for Arizona last year.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: No, that's very insightful. One of the things that I
Speaker 2: think that will help to the cause of not feeling
Speaker 2: complacent is the staff is different. You're playing for a
Speaker 2: different staff. They know what happened, but they weren't part
Speaker 2: of what happened, right, So that'll keep the kids on
Speaker 2: edge to get them to continue to play like they
Speaker 2: used to play.
Speaker 3: I think it's a huge factor. I think it's a
Speaker 3: huge factor because Brent Brennan isn't coming here off of
Speaker 3: you know, we had a great season last year. Brent
Speaker 3: Brennan's coming here. This is his team. Now he's you know,
Speaker 3: Brent Brennan's in a position where isn't as best possible,
Speaker 3: He's coming into a program that is turned it around.
Speaker 3: He doesn't have to turn it around. It's turned around
Speaker 3: for him.
Speaker 2: It would only apply if Jed was here, right, because
Speaker 2: then he'd have to kind of rEFInd the magic again, right,
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's hard to do.
Speaker 3: It's hard to do. So we so this next clip
Speaker 3: we talked more about the ninety eight season. Now he'll
Speaker 3: he got a little confused and mentioned the Sports Illustrated
Speaker 3: number one ranking that was after the ninety three season.
Speaker 3: For going into ninety four. He put it in the
Speaker 3: context of ninety eight because that's, you know, the ninety
Speaker 3: nine season that they weren't But he had interesting, some
Speaker 3: interesting things to say about that ninety eighteen or the
Speaker 3: ninety nine team, which I thought there was something that
Speaker 3: was new to me there as well. Listen, it's only
Speaker 3: about the minute clips, so listen.
Speaker 16: To this, and I don't think where the yeah, you know,
Speaker 16: the ninety eight.
Speaker 19: One was yeah, cover the Sports Illustrated.
Speaker 9: Number one in the country.
Speaker 2: Okay, so private inside because so much of that comes.
Speaker 11: Off of the last year's to me, right, well, I
Speaker 11: look to get.
Speaker 19: Well callous to working on all lost.
Speaker 2: You know, so we lost some major pieces there.
Speaker 11: So and we line up in Penn State, are you kitty?
Speaker 7: Then?
Speaker 10: Okay?
Speaker 11: And I still remember I'm not even sure I could
Speaker 11: share this story, but you know, we weren't.
Speaker 19: We knew that that was a reach, but it was
Speaker 19: that was impressive. Yeah, and you know, so the bar
Speaker 19: gets set so hot, right, and so I think we've
Speaker 19: got to be realistic, you know, by no means it
Speaker 19: would be something if you could put together a dynasty
Speaker 19: like that here, you know, I think that's what.
Speaker 3: We shoot for. But you know, we've got to be realistic.
Speaker 11: But I do think this team, I think after watching
Speaker 11: them in.
Speaker 19: The off season, I don't see anything where, you know,
Speaker 19: we're not working as hard or something of that nature.
Speaker 2: See, and that was part of it, right, and so
Speaker 2: they'll see that they're not working as.
Speaker 3: They can tell. Yeah, right, they can tell. And that
Speaker 3: was one thing that he said that. The other thing
Speaker 3: was the Penn State thing was to reach And it
Speaker 3: sounded like them as coaches were saying, what the hell
Speaker 3: are we doing? Why are we doing this?
Speaker 2: Where were you?
Speaker 3: Where were you when you watched that game at home?
Speaker 3: And the party we had a party. You're gonna laugh, Okay,
Speaker 3: this is my group. We had a sleep over because
Speaker 3: the game was at nine o'clock in the morning. So
Speaker 3: what we did we had to sleep over at my
Speaker 3: brother's house. There are probably twenty people at his house.
Speaker 3: We were sleeping on floors. We had a big barbecue.
Speaker 3: But then we got got up early in the morning.
Speaker 3: We made we made a tardiso on eggs breakfast, watched,
Speaker 3: you know, watch the pregames and stuff. Then the game
Speaker 3: started and by halftime have everybody was oh sure.
Speaker 2: I remember watching it with Armando Rios. A few of
Speaker 2: us got a little party at his place and it
Speaker 2: was it was over before you knew it. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: we're thinking, I say, I think I said this day.
Speaker 2: Dick didn't want to hit anybody didn't. Yeah, probably practice.
Speaker 2: He didn't want anybody hurt for the game, right, and
Speaker 2: they were used to.
Speaker 3: Right, and and and Penn State just obliterated them physically
Speaker 3: the hell out of the bar Airrington, you know. And
Speaker 3: I'm like that was that wasn't it just wasn't fair
Speaker 3: and and but it so it also sounds like he said,
Speaker 3: we knew, right, they knew that this was not a
Speaker 3: good idea. But so that was something I learned from that.
Speaker 3: But you know, but again it being that, you know,
Speaker 3: what I like to hearing him say is that I
Speaker 3: don't think I've seen anything that tells us that our
Speaker 3: guys haven't worked as hard, aren't as complete. And he's
Speaker 3: not gonna tell us if they aren't. But he's not
Speaker 3: going to say that, right, He's just not going to
Speaker 3: address it if he didn't feel like the team has
Speaker 3: been working hard enough to get ready for this season.
Speaker 3: And again, like you said, with a new coaching staff,
Speaker 3: all these guys, you know, if you want to keep playing,
Speaker 3: you had a new coaching staff to impress. There's nothing
Speaker 3: you know, if Jake, Jake, Jed and his staff were here,
Speaker 3: and these players know the coaches and they can say, well,
Speaker 3: he knows me, he knows I'm good. These these these
Speaker 3: guys have to prove themselves all over again to a
Speaker 3: new coaching staff.
Speaker 2: Well, he even mentioned that. I thought that was interesting
Speaker 2: how we said, you know, when Brian asked him about
Speaker 2: the playing and the new guys, come, no, they're here
Speaker 2: to play. If you're here to play, they're gonna play, right, right,
Speaker 2: we just didn't get them to bring them here. They're
Speaker 2: gonna play. And and and the two reps thing. If
Speaker 2: you have two reps, you want to get four reps. Right.
Speaker 2: If you get two reps and you didn't do those
Speaker 2: two good reps, you're gonna get No, you're not gonna
Speaker 2: get two more. Yeah right, yeah, And that's how you
Speaker 2: get better. It's to that reps. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 2: like when you go to practice, what do you get
Speaker 2: better practice?
Speaker 16: Right?
Speaker 2: You don't get better in the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you can't get better in the game, But
Speaker 3: but you have to do the work in practice. You
Speaker 3: have you have five practices leading up to that game.
Speaker 3: You better get better in practice, and then you've got
Speaker 3: one more opportunity to do that.
Speaker 2: This is how it was, at least one of the
Speaker 2: things I learned. You win games Monday through Friday, and
Speaker 2: you show what you've learned on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Or is that you know I've told you that story,
Speaker 3: you know where Dick told me years after the ninety
Speaker 3: four seasons said they lost that season went south in
Speaker 3: the summertime. You know, they didn't do the work in
Speaker 3: the summer for that ninety four season. I know, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna put pool a lot of things. But it happens
Speaker 3: in football, It happens forever in basketball. You you you
Speaker 3: have the peacock feathers come up, yeap, and and you think, okay,
Speaker 3: I look good.
Speaker 2: You look good, play good? Blah blah blah. Did you
Speaker 2: get your ass?
Speaker 3: Had a tea?
Speaker 2: You did? And you say, what the hell just happened?
Speaker 2: Did they know we were good?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, there's a reason they want to kick your ass too.
Speaker 2: They want to be they're the U of A to
Speaker 2: your Washington be number one or the Notre Dame. Right, Oh,
Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen to us. It happens all the time.
Speaker 3: It happens all the time, and and it happens everywhere.
Speaker 17: Right.
Speaker 3: You know, you've seen other teams that come on you go, okay,
Speaker 3: they're going to be great. You know what's gonna happen
Speaker 3: in Washington this year? Right, what's gonna happen in Michigan
Speaker 3: this year?
Speaker 2: I was gonna play Miami in the Fismal?
Speaker 1: What was that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 10: What was that?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 2: Miami Carey want to be there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't want to be there and they got
Speaker 3: their asses kid right right right, and they were coming
Speaker 3: off a national championship, So you know, yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: you look and when you're dealing with eighteen to twenty
Speaker 3: two year olds, when it's eighteen to like thirty year olds.
Speaker 3: But anyways, you know those things are going to happen,
Speaker 3: you know, from year to year, and you and you
Speaker 3: got to be ready for those And as coaches, I
Speaker 3: wouldn't say you guard against it, but you make sure
Speaker 3: you do things that you know that that you keep
Speaker 3: an eye out for the signs so you can address
Speaker 3: those things to make sure that your guys are working
Speaker 3: hard enough and that nobody's taste slacking and then everybody's
Speaker 3: working towards the same thing. But as you said, I
Speaker 3: think this new coaching.
Speaker 2: Staff right well, the fresh out, freshen up, keep on
Speaker 2: the keep them on the go.
Speaker 3: So I feel a whole lot better about the fact
Speaker 3: that they're coming off a ten win season and this
Speaker 3: could be the first one goes back to back, right
Speaker 3: where they could go back to back and maybe nine,
Speaker 3: maybe eight. But what you don't want is for them
Speaker 3: to go lose to New Mexico or lose to a
Speaker 3: s U, or lose to a team who's asked you
Speaker 3: should kick and then you know, rose to hell in
Speaker 3: a hand basket. Yeah, you know, so so what that
Speaker 3: that you know, that's where that's where I think, that's
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna be looking for. You want them to
Speaker 3: come out against New Mexico, you know, and beat the
Speaker 3: living crap out of them, right and and you know,
Speaker 3: take no prisoners, you cover the thirty and a half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just just show who you are, right yeah, right, yeah, okay, Hey,
Speaker 2: no good show today stuff.
Speaker 3: Thank you to Frank Bush.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need smart people.
Speaker 3: To raise the intelligence stuff. It's hard to do, Ryan
Speaker 3: does it.
Speaker 2: Texas City's always loves be good, good.
Speaker 3: All right, good, good stuff. All right. We will be
Speaker 3: back tomorrow. We'll talk some more football because we're getting started.
Speaker 3: There's a practice tomorrow, so I don't know if you're going, Steve,
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna try and catch a little bit
Speaker 3: of it, but we'll we'll come and report into what
Speaker 3: we see, so be sure to be back tomorrow
