Speaker 2: keep your eye on the ball last week football men's hoops,
Speaker 2: women's hoops, Tyson, although there was no balls unless you
Speaker 2: saw the netflix and he had his rear to you,
Speaker 2: you didn't get you know, he was talking away, working away.
Speaker 2: People were freaking out. Didn't didn't see that? Yeah, so thankful. Yeah,
Speaker 2: did you. I guess people in the building I was
Speaker 2: talking to them. They didn't. I guess. I don't have Netflix,
Speaker 2: nor do I care to have Netflix. I guess was
Speaker 2: free and it's and it did it? Did you watch it?
Speaker 2: I watched clips of the fight, okay, and the one
Speaker 2: punch or two punches. Well, yeah, it's so I saw.
Speaker 2: What I saw, you know that really threw me was uh,
Speaker 2: he he ducked down, he threw he threw a punch
Speaker 2: and came down. And this is very typical Mike Tyson
Speaker 2: where he was lined up underneath and he was ready
Speaker 2: to take this humber cut right, and I've seen him
Speaker 2: drop guys like that, and he never threw the punch,
Speaker 2: and it's like it wasn't in the script. I know.
Speaker 2: It's one of those. This this is one of those.
Speaker 2: You know. It was like an NBA All Star game.
Speaker 2: You know, let's not get anybody hurt, you know, let's
Speaker 2: let's just take the money. And that's great analogy. You'd
Speaker 2: be good at this. If you're good at this, probably
Speaker 2: I could probably do this uh radio stuff for a living.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you just gave me a back and forth. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how come you don't give me the back forth? You like?
Speaker 2: Outside of you give you the outside of this reading
Speaker 2: this little room here. You gave me so much crap,
Speaker 2: and now you kind of like, oh, yes, mister Rivera,
Speaker 2: you intimidate me, you're you're my boss, and I'm getting
Speaker 2: paid nothing for this. Well you better get a new boss. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I won't even guess they get paid my value, but
Speaker 2: the yeah, I get a I'll give you plenty. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna talk about a lot of different things.
Speaker 2: You a hoops, you women's hoops A little. It's overreaction Monday.
Speaker 2: There's money to overreact. Yeah, even even on Friday. Hey,
Speaker 2: by the way, thanks for your tickets. On Friday night,
Speaker 2: I loved uh snobbing it with the hooligans of the
Speaker 2: Sands Club. I was, you know, being the mayor. Hey, hello,
Speaker 2: hello talking everybody? Aren't you you know you're not. I'm sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're you're No, I'm not that guy. You look like somebody.
Speaker 2: It looked like somebody. I know. It was the SATs
Speaker 2: Club band. Man if I hit the lottery, that's how
Speaker 2: I can. Was it pretty crowded up there? It was
Speaker 2: very Sometimes it doesn't get very crowded up there. That
Speaker 2: was well, it was I think that because they won
Speaker 2: once a basketball game, and was it was a game?
Speaker 2: Was a game really well attended? I mean, no, no, Henry,
Speaker 2: come on board here, pay attention to me for a second,
Speaker 2: Henry football. No, nod.
Speaker 3: Did they announce They announced thirty eight thousand, but it
Speaker 3: was only like.
Speaker 2: I'd say thirty at the most. It was like even less.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty did not?
Speaker 3: I mean where I said, I can't see the upper.
Speaker 2: Deck, but from the back it was it was battering.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's what I okay, No, it's twenty five, maybe
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I didn't really. I paid attention, but not
Speaker 2: to that extent. Maybe twenty five. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of people in said, well, yeah, when we were watching,
Speaker 2: we were catching glimpse of it because, uh, you were
Speaker 2: not in town. We were in a bar. Well, okay,
Speaker 2: we were in the library's. We were not in Allan.
Speaker 2: We were in town. Though we were in town. We
Speaker 2: were in town. We're having beverages. You said, fifteen game?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Well, how long were you in
Speaker 2: the bar?
Speaker 4: Oh man?
Speaker 2: What's that? How long were you in the bar too?
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say so you could be No thanks,
Speaker 2: How'm not gonna argue you giving me no watch. I watched.
Speaker 2: I watched a lot of the basketball, and I watched
Speaker 2: the uh uh football football some of the football, and
Speaker 2: but you know, it was one of those things that's
Speaker 2: like the first thing we noticed was the fact that,
Speaker 2: like the stands are pretty empty. But I guess you
Speaker 2: know you're gonna play an eight to fifteen game on
Speaker 2: our Friday night. They're thinking like you, they're thinking, what
Speaker 2: the hell am I going to be here? And I
Speaker 2: got I left that halftime because to me, it was
Speaker 2: kind of boring. But I got home and I had
Speaker 2: plenty of room to spare to watch the second half,
Speaker 2: and it was into eleven fifteen ish. I'm thinking, who's
Speaker 2: watching this? Yeah, right exactly? I mean, yeah, who's saying?
Speaker 2: Could you imagine like all the East Coast people, I mean, well,
Speaker 2: they're not watching Arizona football last day? Surely that's Henry.
Speaker 2: You're Houston. What about Houston? And who's Washington? Houston? Come on,
Speaker 2: I bet that people in Houston aren't even give you
Speaker 2: the question. I asked Henry, and I'm not sure he
Speaker 2: even answered me. On the way here, I'll give you
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna ask this that Brian Peterson. Our first guess, Yeah,
Speaker 2: a couple of Washington. Arizona played very well. Houston is
Speaker 2: not very good. They didn't play very well, or a
Speaker 2: combination of the two. From my perspective, I think it's
Speaker 2: the combination of the two. I think Arizona put a
Speaker 2: lot of things together that they have not been connecting
Speaker 2: very well. It look different. Yeah, they And you know
Speaker 2: the other thing is they did have twenty three rushes.
Speaker 2: Okay for those of us who say we have to
Speaker 2: rest thirty times, you and Jen, Yeah, they risked twenty
Speaker 2: three times and we won handily. Yeah, well they were
Speaker 2: able to. I mean, what did you think.
Speaker 3: Henry, I would honestly say more just Houston. I mean
Speaker 3: they turned it over at the goal one and they
Speaker 3: there was an interception, there's fumbles, They had a pun
Speaker 3: return touchdown that got called back. They had a lot
Speaker 3: of I mean, what was the final score, twenty seven
Speaker 3: to three. Yeah, could have been twenty eight to twenty
Speaker 3: seven if they capitalized didn't have these mistakes. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: Arizona did a good job of capitalizing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what you do. So yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: a we didn't get those breaks, Okay, I mean we
Speaker 2: didn't have. We weren't playing the defense that we played
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year, right, we were soft
Speaker 2: in the middle. We tighten that up. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna poo poo the victory because they needed it no
Speaker 2: matter how it came. Right, never never turn away of victory. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So there's no apologies that they want what they want
Speaker 2: and let's move on from it. Now, that's TCU, then
Speaker 2: ASU and then it's over and then you can kind
Speaker 2: to reevaluate the game over the season. I should say, yeah,
Speaker 2: how about Arizona State? Though, I mean, wow, this is
Speaker 2: a Tucson basis, it is a Bay show and we're
Speaker 2: going to play Arizona State here pretty quick. And oh
Speaker 2: we'll get there when we get there. But you're right,
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, they're the Arizona of last year. Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: yes exactly. And then they're there are I think they're
Speaker 2: playing a way above their head uh uh, fighting fighting
Speaker 2: above their weight. But did you think Arizona was doing
Speaker 2: that last year? Yes, yes, I did. To be fair,
Speaker 2: To be fair, I think they were. I think there
Speaker 2: were a lot of people that are like, they're not
Speaker 2: real Well, Jay was Jay was waiting for it to
Speaker 2: collapse and it guess what, it didn't collapse, So so
Speaker 2: more power, more power to them. Uh no, let's see
Speaker 2: what happens with the issue. But they you can't poopoo
Speaker 2: what they're doing because they've done really they were picked
Speaker 2: last in the league. Yes, I know that's the thing
Speaker 2: about it. I mean, they're doing it smoking mirrors, but
Speaker 2: they're but they're winning and they're and they're real and
Speaker 2: they're they're beating some teams yeh, which is pretty pretty interesting.
Speaker 2: And speaking of you want to talk about the basketball. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll get to that. We'll get we get to Bryan Peterson.
Speaker 2: So let me just identify who's coming on the show.
Speaker 2: Brian Peterson from as He Deserts Warm, one of our regulars,
Speaker 2: come in to reevaluate what happened. Uh let me let
Speaker 2: me tell everybody. Now, I'm not going to be in
Speaker 2: on Thursday and Friday, long days for me at my
Speaker 2: other position at the tour, So we're starting that on Saturday,
Speaker 2: so I can't have time to come in here and
Speaker 2: do the show Thursday and Friday. So we'll talk about
Speaker 2: the Duke game too. On Friday, Brian Peterson comes in
Speaker 2: in about ten minutes, we'll talk all about that and
Speaker 2: review and then look ahead on Monday, and then on
Speaker 2: the second hour, we're gonna tackle more football with Victor
Speaker 2: Yates not so much an apologist but former u of
Speaker 2: a guy. And he's been very away. You with him
Speaker 2: the first time, yeah, I think so. Yeah, and he
Speaker 2: was very very good, you know, very good in respective
Speaker 2: put in perspective, not so much an apologist, but kind
Speaker 2: of a realist. And he has been telling people relaxed
Speaker 2: things are going to be okay. And over the weekend,
Speaker 2: guess what he said, relaxed things are gonna be okay. Well,
Speaker 2: and you know, I think that you know, maybe they're
Speaker 2: putting making some connections now, I mean that's you know,
Speaker 2: it's well, you can only beat a team, yeah right,
Speaker 2: you know they they beat it. I mean they're they're
Speaker 2: Houston is a Division one football game, okay, I mean
Speaker 2: and one football team, so it wins a win. And
Speaker 2: to beat a team like that, I mean, this wasn't
Speaker 2: a fluke win though they to put in perspective, if
Speaker 2: there is some perspective. They beat Kansas State the week before. Yeah, so,
Speaker 2: but then I issue be Knis State now. But you know,
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, it beats the alternative. That's yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, it's it's better than losing. Well. The
Speaker 2: funny thing is that I heard somebody say today, oh,
Speaker 2: he's the Morning Show, The Morning Show with Ali and Justin,
Speaker 2: and I didn't hear this. But I'm not on Twitter
Speaker 2: because I hate I hate the thing only because people
Speaker 2: go crazy on it and be stupid. But some of
Speaker 2: the people, the fans, were upset it with the wine.
Speaker 2: You know what, why why how could you be upset
Speaker 2: because it makes Brennan stick around? Yeah? Right, yeah, oh
Speaker 2: we can't fire right, that was the I'm thinking. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's exactly. It's like, if he keeps winning, we'll never
Speaker 2: fire him. Jeez. Yeah, this is mindset, their mindset. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean we still I mean, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe this is one of those things that we can,
Speaker 2: you know, even if it's not till next year, even
Speaker 2: if we lose the last two and we come back
Speaker 2: and then next year we said we sit there. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's something to point to and say, Okay, it's the
Speaker 2: take off. Okay, remember that game we put it together.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you something. Yeah, yeah, let me. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna let me get to my questions, let me alone.
Speaker 2: Uh so, I'm a sportswriter, right, so that's one of
Speaker 2: the questions I would say, ask you, so you think
Speaker 2: you can kind of build off this? What's the obvious answer? Yes? Sure,
Speaker 2: But do you really think you know how many times
Speaker 2: people have said yes and guess what happens? Nothing? Oh? Yeah, no, No,
Speaker 2: what are you going to answer yourself? No, I don't
Speaker 2: think it's not a great question or whatever. No, I
Speaker 2: don't think so we just won the game. I don't
Speaker 2: remember any coach telling me this. Of course it's a
Speaker 2: jumping off point. Well until it's not. But they're not
Speaker 2: going to come back and sit there and go, well, hey, Steve,
Speaker 2: that's a real stupid question. You know, they're you know,
Speaker 2: of course they're gonna say yes. They're not going to
Speaker 2: say no, I don't think this is a jumping off point.
Speaker 2: They're gonna say, yeah, it's jumping off point. And they're
Speaker 2: because they're mostly because they're hoping it's a jumping off point.
Speaker 2: It's something that they can sit there and go, Okay, guys,
Speaker 2: remember when you made the right play. Okay, maybe we
Speaker 2: can make the right play jumping off point right, sure,
Speaker 2: I mean we start having success, success breed success, we
Speaker 2: can continue to have more success. I do think success
Speaker 2: breed success and I do think and I know you're
Speaker 2: not a big fan of momentum momentum, but I think
Speaker 2: that if you are successful, then you can feel in
Speaker 2: sense more success. I think, in fact, I agree with
Speaker 2: you and they're on that point because it's confidence. To me,
Speaker 2: I won't we can do this. It's momentum is kind
Speaker 2: of like confidence. And I believe in confidence more than
Speaker 2: momentum because once you start getting that, it's hard to stop.
Speaker 2: I mean, the opponent to stop. What do you think
Speaker 2: ASU has no one believed in them? Now they're beating
Speaker 2: teams and guess what they're gaining confidence momentum court. But
Speaker 2: if you have confidence, you know you're right on that.
Speaker 2: I will I will give you that, the fact that
Speaker 2: you know you play with more confidence now the court
Speaker 2: the question does that when does that become overconfident? Over confidence?
Speaker 2: And then that hurts you kind of going down. I'll
Speaker 2: give it. I'll tell you where you watch buy U. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: So they were pretty damn good for a long stretch here,
Speaker 2: whether it's momentum or whatever. They are another team that
Speaker 2: wasn't really thought of highly, and they were undefeated up
Speaker 2: until this weekend, right, and they played a less what
Speaker 2: we'd assume is a lesser team. Sure, and you you coached,
Speaker 2: you know the situation. I believe that they went in
Speaker 2: it's these guys, cantas we got we can beat them.
Speaker 2: We can beat then no big either at home in
Speaker 2: our place. Blah blah blah. We've done we played better
Speaker 2: in one and they didn't show up. I didn't watch
Speaker 2: a game, But how many times does that happen out
Speaker 2: of ten? Yeah? No, Well that that happens. It's tough
Speaker 2: to go through a season undefeated, which you can tell
Speaker 2: because now we're down to three. But but they had
Speaker 2: a lot to play for. I mean, how do you
Speaker 2: not take a team seriously if you have a lot
Speaker 2: to play for. I'll tell you when you say a
Speaker 2: lot to play for. It if they thought that they
Speaker 2: were just gonna be that that they were gonna win.
Speaker 2: They went out there and thought that they were gonna win,
Speaker 2: and they're they're like, well, okay, we're just playing to
Speaker 2: win and we can win. Let me I'll say this
Speaker 2: because I've covered enough of these to know this and
Speaker 2: that's why I bring it up. I've covered you a
Speaker 2: basketball for thirty some years, directly for twenty four to
Speaker 2: twenty five. And how else would you explain first round losses? Oh? Yeah, no, absolutely,
Speaker 2: we're just and not just one, not just two, not
Speaker 2: just three. Yeah, right, just going in and thinking, just
Speaker 2: going in thinking we got this. Yeah exactly, We've we've
Speaker 2: been told we're so good. Yes, we are so good.
Speaker 2: We're so much better than this other team. Eighteen and
Speaker 2: a half point favorites. This gonna be great, it's gonna
Speaker 2: be really fun. And then and then it happened. And
Speaker 2: then by the time it's over, you figure at some
Speaker 2: point someone is gonna sit there and go, hey, remember
Speaker 2: last year you know, yeah, or this year? So speaking
Speaker 2: to that, you know, the Virginian Purdue are two good
Speaker 2: examples of Remember last year after losing first as a
Speaker 2: one seeds, as overall one seed, they come back and
Speaker 2: win the champ in the title. Well, Arizona's the only
Speaker 2: the one team that's lost to two A two seed twice,
Speaker 2: two seed twice. Yeah, absolutely, the it matters. Now here's
Speaker 2: a question for you. You mentioned b y u h.
Speaker 2: Maybe the Big twelve is not that good. Maybe they
Speaker 2: just got a lot of mediocre teams and there you
Speaker 2: have it. Maybe I don't know because I don't follow
Speaker 2: it as closely. But if a issue has a chance
Speaker 2: to win it all after being picked sixteenth, and they do,
Speaker 2: they do, and they do, and then there's who Colorado,
Speaker 2: Colorado is up. And then just last year at this time,
Speaker 2: people were saying Dion's a joke. I'm not sure they're
Speaker 2: saying that now. Not a lot of people. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: he's there may be a lot of people ruining against him,
Speaker 2: but there's not a lot of people that are mouthing
Speaker 2: off now. Right, we got to go right, Is that
Speaker 2: Henry giving me the snake eye? Okay, Henry, Thanks, We'll

Speaker 2: Or was it a combination of both? What was the
Speaker 2: what's the answer? Take your time? Did I lose you?
Speaker 2: Do we lose him? He's not on? Oh? Brian, can
Speaker 2: hear us? Did you mut right? We can't hear you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Some of your best stuff exactly great insights. Can you
Speaker 2: hear us? Let me have the texting? No you just okay, okay,
Speaker 2: Maybe he's no that's fine, but I still want to
Speaker 2: ask him that question. Yeah, well it's good question. Stings
Speaker 2: because he was on and then it wasn't just good
Speaker 2: for you keep him keep on eye on him for
Speaker 2: the call as you call it. Okay, Hey, yeah we
Speaker 2: lost you can you hear me? Yeah? We lost? So
Speaker 2: did you have the question? Was Oh I heard the question?
Speaker 13: Well yeah, yeah, okay. So I think it's a combination
Speaker 13: of the two. I think Arizona had one of its
Speaker 13: better games. Houston is not really that good a team,
Speaker 13: but I mean Arizona needed to play well against anybody
Speaker 13: to show that they could still do something for the
Speaker 13: rest of the season. I think Arizona has had its
Speaker 13: best performances this year when it's had extra time to prepare.
Speaker 13: You had the season opener against New Mexico, you had
Speaker 13: after the bye against Utah, and then after this buy
Speaker 13: against Houston. It's it's a shame that there are no
Speaker 13: more buys left. They have to now show if they
Speaker 13: want to make a bowl game, that they have to
Speaker 13: be able to do a one week game plan and
Speaker 13: not a two to one hundred week game plan to
Speaker 13: uh be able to beat a team.
Speaker 2: Right. So is Brennan's playbook. Brennan's playbook isn't that complicated?
Speaker 2: Is that what you think is they just can't weeks
Speaker 2: nine weeks into the whole thing. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 2: a complicated playbook. I mean, you can't have that.
Speaker 4: I mean, why are they No, it's I mean, I
Speaker 4: think it's just pure coincidence, but that that those are.
Speaker 13: The case because I mean, you you're always looking ahead
Speaker 13: at future teams. So it's like they would have already
Speaker 13: been thinking about TCU before this game.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 4: And I think it's it's more on themselves.
Speaker 2: Than on the opponent.
Speaker 13: It's not like, even though they've they've been beat soundly
Speaker 13: in some of these games, I don't think it's because
Speaker 13: they they came across Oh wow, we don't know how
Speaker 13: to stop UCF, like they knew how to stop them,
Speaker 13: they just couldn't or b YU or Colorado or something.
Speaker 13: And I don't think necessarily the extra time would have mattered.
Speaker 13: It's also these are like it's turned out to be
Speaker 13: some of the worst teams.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: One of the teams that Arizona.
Speaker 13: Has beat this year have a winning record other than
Speaker 13: NAU and pretty.
Speaker 4: Much every team they've lost to has a winning record,
Speaker 4: so I think that comes down to it a little
Speaker 4: bit as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So what impress you the most? I mean
Speaker 2: I went to the game. I didn't cover it obviously,
Speaker 2: but when they connected with Fafida and team mat on
Speaker 2: that first long bomb or whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking this is different. Yeah.
Speaker 13: Well, and that play, I mean that is the old
Speaker 13: Aaron Rodgers special where you draw the opponent off side
Speaker 13: so you get the free play and you can just
Speaker 13: throw it up there because you know that at the
Speaker 13: very least you're going to get five yards and.
Speaker 4: Replays it down. But that's also one of those.
Speaker 13: Examples of how Facida and Temac know each other so
Speaker 13: well that it's like, Okay, I could just throw this
Speaker 13: ball up there and he's going to get it.
Speaker 2: You know. They tried that in a couple.
Speaker 4: Other instances, maybe along the sideline and all that.
Speaker 2: And he was off.
Speaker 4: But it was good to be able to kind.
Speaker 2: Of see that pop up again. Yeah, yeah, no question.
Speaker 2: What other things happened that well, Henry brought up a
Speaker 2: couple of things that they took advantage of Houston's mistakes too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think the defense played very.
Speaker 13: Very well in terms of being able to Like, they
Speaker 13: knew that the way to beat Houston was to keep
Speaker 13: their quarterback.
Speaker 4: From getting loose, and because he had kind of had
Speaker 4: some big runs in these last.
Speaker 2: Few games when they had won three or four, and they.
Speaker 4: Pretty much kept him in check and they essentially overloaded
Speaker 4: the box to force him to.
Speaker 13: Be a good passer, knowing that they had someone like
Speaker 13: a Tacario Davis that.
Speaker 2: Would be able to take out their best receiver and all.
Speaker 13: That, and I didn't take the Houston quarterback was nearly
Speaker 13: as good as people have thought he had been. He
Speaker 13: seemed more like an athlete than a quarterback. But Arizona
Speaker 13: was able to just completely neutralize him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And then the defense, the defense stepped up.
Speaker 2: I was, the defense does what it does, but the offense,
Speaker 2: you know, finally kind of came through.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 2: You talked about the rushing game, Yeah, I mean, well
Speaker 2: we only had twenty twenty three rushes in the game.
Speaker 2: You don't count for feita, you know, in being sacked
Speaker 2: or anything. But it was like it was a you know,
Speaker 2: we did pretty we were pretty effective. Said they went
Speaker 2: to started trapping, which they hadn't done.
Speaker 4: So yeah, they kept saying today in the press conference.
Speaker 13: There was the mention of just the use of the
Speaker 13: counterplay that was not necessarily part of the game plan
Speaker 13: to going in, but then they recognized it was something
Speaker 13: that was going to work against Houston.
Speaker 2: And you know, for a team that.
Speaker 13: Only averages about one hundred and ten hundred and twenty
Speaker 13: rushing yards a game, whatever Arizona is, they have four
Speaker 13: fifty yard runs this year and Kali Conley has I
Speaker 13: think two of those, and so that they are able
Speaker 13: to break those up there, they're essentially this was a
Speaker 13: game where they were going to run. They were still
Speaker 13: gonna run even if they were struggling with it, because
Speaker 13: they needed to try to stay honest. And I think
Speaker 13: against TCU, running the ball maybe the way that they
Speaker 13: stay in the game, because that is TCU's weakness on.
Speaker 2: The defensive ends.
Speaker 4: It's when they are.
Speaker 13: Forced to, when they fall behind and all they can
Speaker 13: do is throw the ball, that they really don't have
Speaker 13: any chance of catching up because then everyone just brings
Speaker 13: the house on their line and their line.
Speaker 2: Can't hold up against that. Yeah, they've become particulable. I
Speaker 2: know we're well beyond the stage of hypothetical because we're like,
Speaker 2: you know, twenty weeks into the season, but how do
Speaker 2: you think, how do you think the kids from New
Speaker 2: Mexico the running back would have maybe changed the course of.
Speaker 4: This Oh, it would have been a completely different scenario.
Speaker 2: I mean he started the first game.
Speaker 13: He ran for like one hundred yards in that game.
Speaker 13: At the very least, there would have been more variety
Speaker 13: with what they were doing with the run game. I
Speaker 13: think Quali Connley still would have been a big part
Speaker 13: of it, as and Grisono would have been, but just
Speaker 13: to have that more variety, I think that to Corey
Speaker 13: Kroftky Merritt was going to be more of the physical,
Speaker 13: bruising guy that could wear down defenses. They don't have
Speaker 13: the other guys aren't guys.
Speaker 4: That you you know, can essentially call on to be
Speaker 4: that finisher in.
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter.
Speaker 13: You know, last year Arizona had the three different running
Speaker 13: backs that they used a lot, and DJ Williams would
Speaker 13: kind of be the punisher in the fourth quarter to
Speaker 13: kind of put things away. And so without having that,
Speaker 13: it really.
Speaker 4: It took something away from it. So it's definitely disappointing,
Speaker 4: you know that he was not able to play this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a guy that likes to engage with the
Speaker 2: fans and kind of get him off the ledge on
Speaker 2: the interweb or.
Speaker 4: You know, well I like to put him on the
Speaker 4: ledge and then take them off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the fire starter and then he has the
Speaker 2: you can of whatever. H So, so what was the
Speaker 2: situation after the game, let's taking the people to the edge.
Speaker 14: Or what was it.
Speaker 8: For football?
Speaker 4: I think there's you. It was a weird dynamic.
Speaker 13: You have some going, hey, it's great to see them
Speaker 13: kind of do this, let's let's finish this strong. Then
Speaker 13: there's the others that go, it doesn't matter, this season
Speaker 13: is terrible, And then there were still actually a fewer
Speaker 13: like this sucks. I didn't want them to win because
Speaker 13: I need them to lose all the games.
Speaker 2: So that they really feel forced to make a.
Speaker 13: Coaching change, which I still think is just absolutely insane
Speaker 13: that we're even considering, we're discussing the concept of making
Speaker 13: a coaching change after one season in football. But they're
Speaker 13: the talk and all that is out there, so there
Speaker 13: probably was. There was also maybe a fourth of well,
Speaker 13: I don't care, it's basketball season.
Speaker 2: So you know, we talked about that before you came on,
Speaker 2: just about people who hope for the doom and glue
Speaker 2: so they can get rid of him. Let me let
Speaker 2: me ask you, because you know the fan base and
Speaker 2: you're a student, all that stuff, you've been here. Well, now, well,
Speaker 2: all the people that are posting or you getting reactions from,
Speaker 2: how many of those and I'll say, well, let's say
Speaker 2: a hunter, just just to give you an even number,
Speaker 2: are actually helping contribute to you have a success. And
Speaker 2: I mean that by opening their wallets or tickets or whatever.
Speaker 4: Less than five percent.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean no, the chat room people, the comments
Speaker 13: section people, the perpetually online people, they're not They're not
Speaker 13: at the games. I mean, if you're at a game
Speaker 13: and you are tweeting at people, then you're.
Speaker 4: Missing out on the experience.
Speaker 2: Of being in the game.
Speaker 13: You're not traveling on the road with the team, you
Speaker 13: are not donating all that.
Speaker 2: Kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: And like, yes, the number was down for the attendance
Speaker 4: that that.
Speaker 2: Was to be expected.
Speaker 4: Friday night basketball is playing so many different things.
Speaker 2: I think if they were nine.
Speaker 13: And oh, it still would have been a pretty weak
Speaker 13: crowd considering all the circumstances. So, yeah, those are the
Speaker 13: vocal minority if you will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's the squeaky wheel. I get you because
Speaker 2: I feel the same way. I don't know if it's
Speaker 2: five percent, but it's somewhere in there, because it's a
Speaker 2: squeaky wheel, just and really have nothing at stake at it.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, I mean yeah, it's not like people.
Speaker 2: Comment if you complain about you go ahead, right, yeah, no, no, no, And.
Speaker 4: That's kind of it's but like you'll see like at
Speaker 4: other schools where you're hearing about trying to push.
Speaker 2: Out a coach and all that.
Speaker 13: You'll hear like that they are flying a banner over
Speaker 13: the stadium.
Speaker 2: Or that there's.
Speaker 4: Billboards like those things sound like, okay, there's.
Speaker 13: A lot more involvement. This is just people griping online.
Speaker 13: I mean, there were people in the first half of
Speaker 13: the first game this year when they were winning and
Speaker 13: on the way to scoring sixty one points where it's like,
Speaker 13: you need to fire this guy. So I still remember
Speaker 13: the first year of Tommy Lloyd. They started what ten
Speaker 13: and oh, and they lose an overtime at Tennessee and
Speaker 13: there are.
Speaker 4: People in our mentions going, I don't think he's the guy.
Speaker 4: So that's just always going to.
Speaker 2: Be there, right, Yeah, okay, let's transition to basketball just
Speaker 2: because so I'm sure you saw the game on video
Speaker 2: while you're watching football. I know, I know, idea, it happens.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that happens. We've seen it happen a number
Speaker 2: of times. Luckily or whatever. Luckily it's in November and
Speaker 2: we realize it could happen again. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4: I mean it's the earliest Arizona's ever had a season
Speaker 4: ending loss in the last few years.
Speaker 2: That's a great look.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, no, no, I mean if they lose
Speaker 4: to Doo, they'll be like, well, that's their second season
Speaker 4: ending loss.
Speaker 13: And I mean the game matters only from an experience
Speaker 13: and you learn from its standpoint. I had some people
Speaker 13: that were mad because Hommy Lloyd was like, I don't
Speaker 13: really care about going undefeated. They're like, why isn't that
Speaker 13: a goal, jes that hasn't happened in forty eight years
Speaker 13: in college basketball. Stop with the ridiculousness of it. You
Speaker 13: look at the game, you look at the challenge.
Speaker 2: You're not going to get.
Speaker 4: Those challenges by just playing a bunch of shlubs.
Speaker 2: At home, right, And yes, you like to win these games.
Speaker 13: But now they've been part of a game where every
Speaker 13: single thing in the world gets called and they never
Speaker 13: adjusted to it as the game went on. And I
Speaker 13: think that's what Tommy was most upset about, is that
Speaker 13: they didn't adjust to the way the game.
Speaker 2: Was being called and how all that.
Speaker 13: I don't really have any major concerns from that game
Speaker 13: other than, you know, missing some more free throws. But
Speaker 13: they out rebounded them like crazy. And I mean they
Speaker 13: were down.
Speaker 4: By what in eighteen in the first half and then.
Speaker 13: Hide it in the second half. So there wasn't It
Speaker 13: wasn't a terrible performance. It was a second week of
Speaker 13: the season on the road against a good team performance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the one thing, the one thing that concerned me,
Speaker 2: and it wasn't a concern. It may not be the
Speaker 2: right word, is that. Well two things that they gave
Speaker 2: up one hundred that rarely happens. And to Caleb Love
Speaker 2: didn't respond like he should And I couldn't tell you
Speaker 2: how he should, but you know what I'm saying, he
Speaker 2: just kind of like it wasn't the Caleb Love was seen.
Speaker 13: No, that was I mean, he took himself out of
Speaker 13: the game pretty early. And yes, you always hope that
Speaker 13: as they get older and more mature.
Speaker 2: That those things don't happen.
Speaker 13: But we don't know what was said, what happened between them,
Speaker 13: but something about that interaction that he had early in
Speaker 13: the game threw him off.
Speaker 2: And he was not able to get back onto the
Speaker 2: page on there.
Speaker 13: But he's not the reason they lost the game. I
Speaker 13: know that ended up being like a seven point play,
Speaker 13: but again they came back and tied it.
Speaker 4: It was an overall situation where you know, who knows
Speaker 4: if if that game, if they call only two thirds of.
Speaker 13: The sixty three fouls, how different the game might be.
Speaker 13: And I'm not just meeting like who made the fouls,
Speaker 13: but just the way things change all that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've the two of the three guys on
Speaker 4: that officiating crew.
Speaker 13: I'd never heard of before, so like they had no
Speaker 13: idea how to deal with with the way that game
Speaker 13: was officiated, and they have to look from that because
Speaker 13: you know, if anything, this is kind of a preview
Speaker 13: of what they could be expecting in the Big Twelve,
Speaker 13: where they're going to be playing tough teams on the road,
Speaker 13: might have weird circumstances and they have to learn on
Speaker 13: the fly and adapt and a trust.
Speaker 2: Right, there's the thing. There's also Oh and it doesn't
Speaker 2: really help you if you'd let a guy score forty something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 13: And I think the bigger issue is the fact that
Speaker 13: they let that guy get to the line like twenty
Speaker 13: two times. So whatever he was doing to draw fouts,
Speaker 13: he just kept doing over and over and over again,
Speaker 13: and everyone.
Speaker 2: Just fell for it.
Speaker 13: I can't imagine that that was just him tricking the
Speaker 13: officials ten eleven times, whatever it was. You don't accidentally
Speaker 13: file the same guy that many times. You're doing it
Speaker 13: because he's beating you in a certain way, or he's drawing, luring.
Speaker 2: You into that play.
Speaker 4: So Tommy always talks about teaching moments.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there was tons from that, and now we.
Speaker 13: Get to see if it will trans light into this
Speaker 13: next game with Duke being here. That that brings in
Speaker 13: the element of there haven't been back to back losses
Speaker 13: under Tommy Lloyd, in fact, when.
Speaker 4: Even when he was an assistant coach.
Speaker 13: It goes back a few years before that at Gonzaga,
Speaker 13: but at Arizona he had not lost consecutive games.
Speaker 2: And now that's a very distinct possibility.
Speaker 11: Here.
Speaker 2: I said it on Friday, They're going to be duke.
Speaker 2: They're going to be duke at home. Yeah, well, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Speaker 13: They also, under Tommy Lloyd, seem to have some of
Speaker 13: their best games immediately after a loss, which is why
Speaker 13: they haven't lost too in a row, and so you
Speaker 13: would think that there would be a motivation from this.
Speaker 13: But there are new players on this team, so we
Speaker 13: don't know if they have the same kind of reaction.
Speaker 2: To a loss that a.
Speaker 4: Pella Larson or an Umar Bollo or a Kisha.
Speaker 13: Johnson or Ben Mather and any of those guys had
Speaker 13: in the previous years. We don't know how Trey Thompson
Speaker 13: is going to react to Toby o Waka or Anthony
Speaker 13: Doll or so because we haven't seen them after a lot.
Speaker 2: This is very intriguing. Isn't this how where Caleb Love
Speaker 2: needs to step in. I mean it's one thing to say, okay,
Speaker 2: you're hitting shots at the end. It's one thing to
Speaker 2: say you're playing defense, which have not really seen him
Speaker 2: do a lot. But the leadership, the leadership, I mean,
Speaker 2: who's providing the leadership on this team at this point?
Speaker 13: Oh no, I would agree, though, I think that Bradley
Speaker 13: and Lewis are probably more of the leaders than love is,
Speaker 13: just because of the way they've been able to kind
Speaker 13: of stay more level headed during their time at Arizona.
Speaker 13: That that's part of what they want from Love. But
Speaker 13: I think that maybe they don't want him to be
Speaker 13: the guy because when he tries to be the guy,
Speaker 13: you could get a really good or really bad right,
Speaker 13: and they'd rather just have good all the time without
Speaker 13: so much leaning on him. But he's put up great
Speaker 13: games throughout his career against Duke, so I wouldn't be
Speaker 13: surprised one bit if he has like a twenty to
Speaker 13: twenty five point game.
Speaker 2: Again, well, I hope I have a better line than years,
Speaker 2: but I think I'm going to concede your line of
Speaker 2: what was it the earliest season lost?
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, this is the earliest season ending loss they've
Speaker 13: had in several years.
Speaker 2: I hope you use that in the story.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I mean they hadn't lost the November game
Speaker 13: since Sean Miller's last year, and I mean you remember
Speaker 13: the college basketball season didn't used to start until like
Speaker 13: Thanksgiving week. I want to say the earliest they've lost
Speaker 13: in the season was. It was like seventeen years ago.
Speaker 13: I think they lost at Virginia to open the season,
Speaker 13: so that's probably the earliest opened.
Speaker 2: Virginia's college the the arena that night, I was there.
Speaker 2: But they also one the one that the last great
Speaker 2: Laska shootout and when they came back and they lost
Speaker 2: in the first front of the of that lost Minnesota.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that would have been my freshman year at the
Speaker 13: U of A and four that was my ninety four.
Speaker 2: Yes against Minnesota.
Speaker 4: And that was my first.
Speaker 13: Experience with how insane of a basketball fan my future
Speaker 13: father in law was, and that you couldn't talk to
Speaker 13: him while they were the game going on.
Speaker 2: And I still don't. I remember that game.
Speaker 13: Vid lived you still he talks to me more than
Speaker 13: he talks to his daughters, even though we're not married anymore.
Speaker 2: So, oh, good for you, Good for you, Thank you, Brian,

Speaker 2: we'd definitely hang up on you. Not intentional, but the
Speaker 2: but yeah, it would be. It'd be good to hear
Speaker 2: other people's thoughts, especially about the game. And there's a
Speaker 2: lot to talk about, especially moving forward. Uh, like Rivers pickut,
Speaker 2: what's the line on the Duke game? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's too early, but I would assume. I
Speaker 2: would assume that it'll be like Arizona two plus minus two.
Speaker 2: Maybe really you think Arizona's favorite Oh yeah, yeah, after
Speaker 2: they lost Duke lost it and Arizona's at home. Yeah,
Speaker 2: or a push maybe one? Yeah, it could be one
Speaker 2: even come on, yeah, I think you and like everybody else,
Speaker 2: it's Duke, great Duke. You know, it's that Duke. It's
Speaker 2: people that. It's like when Arizona went there and they
Speaker 2: I think it was like a four point game, four
Speaker 2: point Vegas game, and the Arizona played like Arizona does
Speaker 2: in November and one and one. So I'll tell you
Speaker 2: what I saw. You know, the parts of special second
Speaker 2: half and man Arizona had sometimes they looked really really good.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when they run in that run to tie,
Speaker 2: they went on that run. Yeah, I was like, that's
Speaker 2: who they are. We are really great game. Yeah, No, no,
Speaker 2: they are who they are. Just they shot the ball poorly.
Speaker 2: I mean stuff like that happened. Yeah, then they started
Speaker 2: to shoot there. Okay, hey we gotta call here. Who's
Speaker 2: on the air. Thanks for call and I and the ball.

Speaker 2: shape about the loss in basketball? Or what are you?
Speaker 14: No?
Speaker 2: This is the early season loss.
Speaker 18: They need to have some tough, tough competition to get
Speaker 18: tougher and uh deal with what they got to do
Speaker 18: with their regular season, because hey, they are in a
Speaker 18: conference where uh Baylor's.
Speaker 2: Tough, Kansas tough.
Speaker 18: If Iowa stage to if they been out of shape

Speaker 2: on the air and I on the ball. Who's this?
Speaker 2: Oh weird, who's this? Who's this?
Speaker 4: Howard?
Speaker 2: Oh? Howard? What's Howard? Don't know sons talk even though
Speaker 2: they're doing really well.
Speaker 4: I know because I was watching the Suns on Friday.
Speaker 14: There was too much on, but of course I was
Speaker 14: keeping track of.
Speaker 2: Them on my phone.
Speaker 14: How they were getting close.
Speaker 2: But I don't feel as bad.
Speaker 14: Now, I'm not ready to press the George the panic
Speaker 14: button now that I heard they they went to the
Speaker 14: he went. The guy went to the line twenty two times.
Speaker 4: That's crazy, insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is something else, man. It was just they
Speaker 2: were just rushing them to the line. He had a
Speaker 2: good shot. I mean they didn't.
Speaker 14: They got to teach them not to reach, let the
Speaker 14: guy shoot or whatever.
Speaker 4: Because he's not gonna you know. So he only made
Speaker 4: eleven or two twelve baskets and he only you know,
Speaker 4: went five eleven or twelve times. He must have hit
Speaker 4: all his free throws mostly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, he was. He was fantastic.
Speaker 18: He did that.
Speaker 2: That's what you do. That's what you do in Arizona.
Speaker 2: Didn't do that enough too. They didn't hit their shots
Speaker 2: from the line, and we know historically that that's a
Speaker 2: trouble spot.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And as far as who cares about the U of
Speaker 4: A that they might have a chance to go to
Speaker 4: the blue bonnet ball or whatever, I don't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, well yeah, sure, sure, But I
Speaker 2: said this, I said this a while now, for a
Speaker 2: few weeks after the one, two three games, I said, okay,
Speaker 2: if they get six and six. But are you going
Speaker 2: to invite this team to go play a bowl game?
Speaker 2: Who's gonna work.
Speaker 14: They're not even going to b a s U. And
Speaker 14: of course I'm you O A all through and through.
Speaker 14: They're not even gonna be a SU because they've probably
Speaker 14: got a better team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's right now.
Speaker 14: I don't even care where it's played. I don't even
Speaker 14: care where it's played.
Speaker 4: They're gonna win.
Speaker 2: There's eighty to eighty two teams for bow games bowl games,
Speaker 2: and fifty one have qualified. Yeah, so I mean they
Speaker 2: may run in a situation where it's like, don't take anybody,
Speaker 2: you know, Howard? Is that Howard? All right? Thanks man?
Speaker 14: Turn off Monday, take care?
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks? So issues that Saturday or Friday the day after?
Speaker 2: I should know this, but I think it's a Saturday Saturday. Okay,
Speaker 2: so two days. Okay, you're not getting my ticket. We're
Speaker 2: finally going to get to go to that game. Normally
Speaker 2: we have to travel to my kids for Thanksgiving. I
Speaker 2: told my kids I don't love them anymore. That's what
Speaker 2: you still have them in your in your inheritance. He
Speaker 2: speaking of loven, it looks like Duke is a five
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite. Did you look? I just
Speaker 2: looked at it. Oh, duke, get that now?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I get all that? Get that now? That's that could
Speaker 2: be your money. I would hell talk to the bookie
Speaker 2: ye talks a greedo for me exactly? Or Facebook or
Speaker 2: or draft Kings. Yeah, we gotta be we gotta be
Speaker 2: careful here. My wife might be listening. It's like she
Speaker 2: doesn't listen to you at home. Must that's you on
Speaker 2: the radio. Just sorry to break. Jesus tells me she
Speaker 2: volunteld you. Well, she did want me to mention that
Speaker 2: Arizona volleyball beat Kansas. Oh yeah that week. That was
Speaker 2: a huge That was a huge huge. Did you guys
Speaker 2: go to that? Did she make you go to that? No, no,
Speaker 2: we were gone, we were out of town. Okay, so
Speaker 2: we couldn't do that, but well no, good for them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was a huge one. Okay, anybody one else want
Speaker 2: to call? We have about four minutes maybe, uh if
Speaker 2: you want to call, get one in real quick five
Speaker 2: two zero four one, six seventy four forty Which was
Speaker 2: more impactful the win on Friday night with football or
Speaker 2: the loss on Friday night and basketball? Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: you know you read my story. I said, relax, it's
Speaker 2: it's November. I don't know, is this one in November? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well again, you know, like like Brian mentioned, it's it's
Speaker 2: the learning that you're going to get out of it.
Speaker 2: It's the not well. I think the dangerous thing is
Speaker 2: is kind of is what you mentioned, the fact that
Speaker 2: we gave up one hundred points. We gave up another
Speaker 2: Another time we had a guard score forty. I mean,
Speaker 2: when we're gonna have to shut down some guards, okay,
Speaker 2: at some point play a little defense. Well that was
Speaker 2: probably Vegas. I don't know if he scored forty, the
Speaker 2: kid from Florida, South Florida or Vorder. That was, you know,
Speaker 2: the the game in Vegas, excuse me, where he just
Speaker 2: went off and kind of went a mono of mono
Speaker 2: with love and he won it at the end of
Speaker 2: the overtime. Right he didn't. He didn't get forty. You're
Speaker 2: talking about last year? Yeah, last year. Yeah, he could
Speaker 2: have been. I can't remember what he finished. It was like,
Speaker 2: so he got a lot. So I post I post this,
Speaker 2: and I love the comments that my buddies on Facebook
Speaker 2: to say. Okay, so I said, you know, they dropped
Speaker 2: the seventeen, I probably stole one of your one of
Speaker 2: your breaking news things. But you can always talk abut
Speaker 2: with that. Uh. And one of the guys says, uh,
Speaker 2: one of the guy who reads me, he says, you know,
Speaker 2: get back to me in March. I totally believe that
Speaker 2: one of the guys, oh Michael, who talks to me
Speaker 2: off off the area office, lose early, but not in March. See,
Speaker 2: the problem is these games don't mean anything when it
Speaker 2: comes to March. Because I lost now doesn't prevent your
Speaker 2: lost in March. How do I know it happens in
Speaker 2: March because he also loses March. Yeah, you also lose
Speaker 2: in March. But the other thing is this, You're gonna
Speaker 2: get used to playing physical teams. You're gonna get used
Speaker 2: to teams that are gonna come at you, okay, and
Speaker 2: you can't keep following them. Okay. You're gonna have to
Speaker 2: play some defense, tough, tough defense, and then know what
Speaker 2: the what the calls are going to be. But we
Speaker 2: are going to have to play some better, better defense.
Speaker 2: And what we played against Wisconsin. Oh yeah, but we'll
Speaker 2: get better. I think, well get better. We'll definitely get
Speaker 2: better from this. Well, you got like you like, say,
Speaker 2: we got to how much time we have a minut
Speaker 2: or two? Like yeah, a minute. Okay, So everyone talks
Speaker 2: about learning lessons. Okay, we've seen this for ages. Oh
Speaker 2: it's another learning lessons. I guess what happens you lose
Speaker 2: again the same way. It's how you play that day. Like,
Speaker 2: it's how you play that day and you and you stuff.
Speaker 2: Look at Arizona football. How many times have you seen
Speaker 2: the same thing run over? Run over? So yeah, I
Speaker 2: get the fact that it's it's like, oh, Arizona, Arizona,
Speaker 2: Arizona Zona. Every year, Arizona's got a new team. Every
Speaker 2: year they get a new team. This is a new team.
Speaker 2: This is in last year's team. There's some players from
Speaker 2: last year. But they got to get together. They got
Speaker 2: to feel feel out, you know, become a team. Uh
Speaker 2: and and play like a team in jail. The and
Speaker 2: you know they they're gonna have to play some team
Speaker 2: defense because they're certainly not playing very good individual defense. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: yeah anyway, yeah, well that's what you learn. You gotta
Speaker 2: be tougher. I can get on the perimeter and defense. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's take the break. Henry you're in control, so let's
Speaker 2: get out of here.
