And uh, you don't 84 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.439 have a have a manuscript kind of in your head 85 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.639 or to tell them what you're going to do. 86 00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.400 I've been lucky. I've been lucky. And you know, it 87 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.599 takes and then then the work starts. Then the work starts, 88 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:43.360 you have to put it together. It takes about six 89 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.360 seven eight months. That's why when you talk to you O'Brien, book, 90 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.520 Uh we had this story. When did he passed? Like 91 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.000 September October Pete Pete, Yeah, so had to be he 92 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.520 he had started it then right away. 93 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.879 That's a heck of a quick I think it's been 94 00:03:58.919 --> 00:03:59.400 out before. 95 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.319 That was before before that, so it was that does 96 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.159 not include his death, I don't know for sure. So 97 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.000 that's let's see where how he's handled that. Because obviously 98 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.280 you can add to the end of the story. 99 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.599 Right right, because he can have neither another book, which, 100 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.639 of course, now he's going to be in the Hall 101 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:14.919 of Fame. 102 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.360 I would like to say, maybe it's not the end 103 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:16.839 of the story. 104 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.519 Maybe you know, there's a for afterward that comes maybe 105 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:20.959 in the paperback edition or something. 106 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.920 Right, Well, it's like me when I read the hundred 107 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:25.519 things every Arizona fans need to know and do before 108 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:28.560 the death and everything was happening after that, he says, well, Steve, 109 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:30.720 you're gonna have to add another fifteen exactly. 110 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.920 You know, that's your next book on Dred And now 111 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:33.759 we got one hundred. 112 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:36.079 And fifty things. Right. Let me tell you, there's been 113 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:38.160 a lot of stuff that's come out since then. You know, 114 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.519 the scandal was shown and that book was before set. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 115 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.600 it was. Uh, I want to see the best book 116 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.959 that I thought was the Box Book. Right. That's when 117 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.240 Sean Barely came on the scene in two thousand and 118 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.160 nine ten, right, and then the other one's twenty fourteen, 119 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.920 right as they were getting to be the only reason 120 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.560 I got that idea, not that idea, I got the 121 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.279 proposal was they were undefeated in mid February late February 122 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.279 and then actually got hurt so the book was already 123 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.560 starting to be if they win the title, I was 124 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.759 already ready to write that book. So when they lost 125 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.279 and they started to lose a little bit more, we 126 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.279 changed gears and then it turned into the hundred and 127 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.199 one things. Yeah, so it's always kind of transitional, you 128 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:23.040 don't know. 129 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.800 Yeah, well, I mean it's you've you're writing about the 130 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.399 most popular sports in this area and again with alumni everywhere. 131 00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.000 I mean, you can market that all over the country, 132 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:33.439 I suppose. 133 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.519 Yeah, And I have a little It's funny because I 134 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.759 had Toldard on two weeks ago, I guess what it was? 135 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:40.759 Were you with me? You know? 136 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.040 You went? 137 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.120 So he was on and every time I call him 138 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.600 to talk to Steve, you write another book, quite, you know, 139 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.319 because it's but it sells, I mean, and it's totally 140 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.000 two different more than two obviously a lot of different 141 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.519 things go into the book. Yeah, I think. 142 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.160 Well, we can talk about it, maybe off offline, but 143 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.519 I mean I think you could you could make a 144 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.920 mark some where on the West coast if you can 145 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.519 get one of the players to do a sit down 146 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.680 with you at some bookstore and say I've got you know, 147 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:08.800 Tom Tolbert with me. Oh yea, yeah, you go there 148 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:11.439 and you know, next thing, you know, Steve Kurr comes 149 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.199 over too, because you're in. 150 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.040 And like I told you before, which when Show and 151 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.639 Loot was around, we'd have these signings and he would 152 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:20.199 come with me and they didn't want to talk to me. 153 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:21.399 They wanted to talk to him and get a hor 154 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.920 signature on the book. So you know it was I 155 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.800 had had it made when he was around. Let's let's 156 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.439 kind of if we're in taking it calls five to 157 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.680 two oh four, one, six, seventy four, forty, we can 158 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.879 just take a few calls before tonight's came. So what 159 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.319 do you think Arizona is the favorite by three and 160 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:37.600 a half? 161 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:38.399 Yeah, their favorite. 162 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.839 I was kind of surprised, but you know, eighty three 163 00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.800 seventy six, just a couple of days ago, they lost 164 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.639 and they couldn't contain the big guy. So if Dickinson 165 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:48.319 goes off, who knows how this game may go? And 166 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.560 you know the whole you know, Caleb Love, what can 167 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.839 we expect? You know, they got to had a big 168 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.360 game from Trey Townsend kind of out of the blue 169 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:57.360 the other day. 170 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.720 So wasn't that a wash? If you get something from him, 171 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.839 you don't get something from somewhere else. That's kind of 172 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:02.920 a true. 173 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.399 Well, like the THEYSAR did nothing right then in that game. 174 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:12.079 So if he just if he just defends Dickinson, well 175 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:13.560 that might be enough. 176 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.560 Yeah, Well, wasn't some of the postgame talk that Arizona 177 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.199 never double teamed him and maybe that would be the strategy. 178 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.839 Maybe they weren't going to show that that day because 179 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.639 that was going to be their strategy. Perhaps the next 180 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.120 time they played, which turns out to be tonight. So 181 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.360 I don't know, let's let's watch and they all knew 182 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.040 that this is a good possibility of it happening. Yeah, 183 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.319 the second second game in a week or what is 184 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.600 the week? The five days, five days, five days, so 185 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.399 we'll see. I do like their chances, even though it's 186 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.639 going to be close to Kansas City. It's I don't 187 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.480 think it's a home court advantage, even though it's only fifty. 188 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:49.319 Miles away or whatever it is. 189 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:50.480 You don't think so. 190 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.879 No, I'll give you plenty of examples that Arizona had 191 00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:00.920 a home court advantage in terms of fans, not the court. Historically, Anaheia, 192 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.240 they've gone to places and they've had overwhelming Yeah, crowds 193 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.519 there and it meant nothing. 194 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.040 Yeah, well, I mean it's gonna be totally it's gonna 195 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.360 be like ninety to tencent, no question. 196 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:12.920 For Kansas. 197 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:15.480 I mean it's really it's like forty miles away. Kansas City, 198 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.439 I'm sure has a zillion alums, you know, and how 199 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:20.759 often did they get to see them. They probably have 200 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.720 a hard time getting into fag Allen. No, you're right 201 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.120 now they have a chance to go see them, you know, 202 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.120 on a Thursday in the middle of the winter. 203 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.399 Yeah. Yeah, And I'm sure that a lot of people 204 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.879 from Tucson didn't go, But there's still alums in the 205 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.960 Midwest in that area that want to see Arizona. They 206 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:36.200 don't get to see them live, right all the time. 207 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:36.919 That's yeah. 208 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.120 Like as I was saying before, when they would play 209 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.840 at games, and you know, especially on the East Coast 210 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.639 and even in the loot years when they'd go play 211 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.879 Georgetown or villanover Saint John's or something like that, and 212 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.799 you know, Arizona had a pretty good turnout because they've 213 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.279 got a pretty good contingent on the East coast, right. 214 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.799 Yeah, I think one of the bigger places I went 215 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.399 to Syracuse and played in the Dome. It was ninety 216 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.639 six Ben Davis. And they've always had people who had 217 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.080 big in the West Coast. They always had, you know, 218 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.480 people in San Francisco were LA and then they were 219 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.679 just really good. So you wanted to see these guys 220 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:08.440 and you. 221 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:10.600 Know, yeah, and it's kind of the same with football too. 222 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:14.639 I mean it's different with a Big twelve because I 223 00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:16.960 don't know how many alums we have like in Midwest, 224 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:17.960 you know, Kansas State. 225 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.240 But but that's how it was when they played in 226 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:21.240 the Pac twelve. 227 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.639 There was always a big alumni contingent in Seattle and Portland. 228 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.519 And right the Bay Area, right LA. 229 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.720 Right back in the day, like we're talking to, you know, 230 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.720 the Stott of Old had their people. 231 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:32.320 This game was on today Georgia Tech. 232 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:33.879 I didn't see him. I didn't see them. I didn't see 233 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.159 him at all. Coach this year and I think the 234 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.320 world of Damon. But you know, year two, I think 235 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:40.840 it went okay. I think they were like an eight 236 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.519 seed something like that. Yeah, in the in the in 237 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.240 the AEC. The problem with that is the ACC wasn't 238 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:52.480 very good. It's like it's like when North Carolina isn't 239 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:55.080 any good Uh, it's like when UCLA wasn't good in 240 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:57.759 the Pac twelve you kind of dismissed the whole league 241 00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:02.000 because you're a cornerstone. Yeah, team outside of Duke isn't 242 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:02.320 that good? 243 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:06.000 Yeah, well again it was it was them against Duke today, 244 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.679 So it was seventy eight to seventy. They finished up. 245 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.440 I don't know if this is their final record, but 246 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.279 seventeen and sixteen. So yeah, maybe we'll see them in 247 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.240 the n I T or something. 248 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:17.519 So yeah, yeah, go hope David does well there because 249 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.600 if he does do well, they'll obviously kind of chase 250 00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.559 him down for another job. 251 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.840 It was crazy again with all the realignment that we've 252 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:24.080 seen in the last couple of years. But you know, 253 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:25.480 Stanford and Cal playing each other. 254 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:26.159 Yeah, I saw that. 255 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.759 And then like in the women's game, it was. 256 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.799 The Big Ten championship and they have two better teams 257 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.320 than that, the two best teams, and. 258 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.440 Come, you know, one year removed from a conference that 259 00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:38.720 we all followed forever? 260 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.159 Have you followed because Arizona's team is not that great 261 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.919 and didn't generate headlines? Did you follow the women's sports 262 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.360 very much? Given the cat CalArts no longer playing for 263 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.960 basketball probably not probably not. 264 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.120 Yeah, No, I mean we'll see maybe once the tournament 265 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.000 begins and there's a little more exposure for it and 266 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.360 it starts to will be trimmed down by who's playing. 267 00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.240 Well, there's a few pretty good players, right, I mean, 268 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.799 not to the level of Caitlin in terms of notoriety, 269 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:13.039 but the good the women from Connecticut Beckers. Then you 270 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.519 have Juju at USC and then you have I forget 271 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.679 her name at UCLA, the six with seven. She's very 272 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.519 charm her name very good, very good. And then the 273 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:27.200 the uh, the player at Notre Dame maybe player of 274 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:28.799 the year, and I forget her name too. 275 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:31.399 Yeah, and again those names will kind of come to 276 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:31.919 the forefront. 277 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.039 They're on TV all the time, and we're what, you know, 278 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.279 the game starts soon and they always they usually play 279 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.679 games like Monday and Tuesday after the men's games that weekend, 280 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.080 so they're kind of, you know, kind of away from 281 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:43.799 the major action. 282 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:45.799 We have a few minutes, maybe two or three minutes 283 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.240 before we go to our break real quick. But you 284 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.639 talked about this off air with me coming in about Ada. Uh. 285 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.440 We've talked about her every now at the cursery level, 286 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.759 just at the you know, surface level. But we heard 287 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.759 news yesterday. I think it was us right that Auburn. 288 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.799 Auburn is looking at her to possibly take her away 289 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.919 from Arizona and go coach there. 290 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:08.879 Yeah, that was some of the some of the rumors 291 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.399 and some of the stories, and you know, who knows 292 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.840 where where those are coming from necessarily, but you know, 293 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.720 I think her contract is up after next year, and 294 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.519 who again, there was some reporting about where that may stand, 295 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.679 which could be reason for her to think about going 296 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.240 somewhere else, which would be sad for the U of A. 297 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.639 She's you know, she's the best player in school history, 298 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.000 and she was able to get them, you know, very 299 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.360 close to a championship. But the last couple of years 300 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.799 have been tough. It's been hard to watch sometimes and 301 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.039 again well and a lot of it's just been hard 302 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.799 to watch off the court with them losing players to 303 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.639 injury or transfers. Yeah, and the portal has not been 304 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.840 very kind to them, if. 305 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.279 You, if you feel free, go to see the Azy 306 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.600 Desert Swarm story on her. Kim Dust did a pretty 307 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.720 good job. I thought she did a fantastic job, in fact, 308 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.720 maybe highlighting that that in the story not from her, 309 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:00.960 but from somewhere else and maybe out of other places 310 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.720 that she wants to go where she's appreciated. That would 311 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.799 mean something here, right, Yeah, that you're not here? Uh 312 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.000 that was there? Nil money. She's talked openly here on 313 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:14.879 this show that she needs more. We know that the 314 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.159 players are going to be getting more money with the 315 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.840 shared expenses, but the women's teams is not going to 316 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.440 get a whole big percentage three percent. To me, that 317 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.519 knocked me over, to tell you the truth, that's all 318 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.120 you're getting. That's all they're getting. I'm thinking, what because 319 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.639 football and basketball getting the majority, right, and you think, 320 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:36.519 holy moly, I thought that'd have some title line implication. Honestly, Yeah, 321 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:38.919 because that's the world we live in. I don't know. 322 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:40.480 I mean, I think we need to kind of just 323 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:42.480 see how it plays out, especially with these with the 324 00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.039 new money coming. You know how that's going to you know, 325 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.519 affect these programs and the players they get. It's it's 326 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.679 a whole new ball game, it really is. I don't 327 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.320 know how these coaches, you know, sleep at night wondering, Yeah, 328 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.080 what's my roster going to look like? You know in 329 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:57.879 two months or two weeks if players start leaving after 330 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.960 the end of basketball season and jumping and Dave. 331 00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.200 We talked about this at the beginning. We're going to 332 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.440 go in a second. How basketball to me is turned 333 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.159 in like the horse racing, where the best horses get 334 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:11.519 to the big games or big races because the people 335 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.159 paid a ton of money for them, not necessarily. In basketball, 336 00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.919 Indiana paid a ton they lost today they may make 337 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.679 the tournament, and other Arkansas ton There's a lot of 338 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.759 teams that spend a lot of money and got very 339 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:23.600 little for the return. 340 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.960 And Umar Bollo gets that big money goes to Indiana 341 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:27.279 and they could be finished. 342 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.039 They could be finished.
