35
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:23.200

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 3>I was mostly always in the number two or number three,

45
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 3>and then as I started moving up and guys anyway,

46
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 3>who cares?

47
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I was there at a jersey and then uh.

48
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 5>Kyle Altmeyer was named the Big twelve Player of the

49
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.000

51
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.639

52
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.800

53
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 5>met in twenty one years.

54
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Okay, this is one of those up games. They

55
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>just came out the issue win, right, Yep, they need

56
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>to have have they had a few consecutive wins.

57
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.879
<v Speaker 5>They had lost two straight, so they went three straight

58
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 5>losses to three straight wins, two losses and a win,

59
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 5>so maybe they'll get to two wins.

60
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Where are they sitting in conference right now? They are

61

93
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.680

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 5>be Michigan State and Michigan State keeping tom is one

95
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.000

96
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 2>And Woldson played for Bobby did so he prevented.

97
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 3>That's gotta be like from a fan base, because we

98
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.079
<v Speaker 3>talked about you a fan, especially me as a fan.

99
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 3>That's that's gotta be one of the worst, uh places

100
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 3>to be a fan because every preseason you're like, we're

101

103
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Especially you know's brother, Yeah, God, Archie Marching the coach

104
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 2>there and he was hotters as hell as a coach

105
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>and he couldn't do it there. Kelvin was there and

106
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 2>couldn't do it. I guess you know, be were get

107
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 2>in trouble. Uh, it's a tough place, but you find

108
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 2>the right dude like the kid. The kid and I

109
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 2>can say because I'm a hundred years old, the is

110
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:06.079
<v Speaker 2>that Michigan May May who played who worked under Bobby

111
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Knight there could do wonders And you know this, I'm

112
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna ask you this, but you know this, how much

113
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 2>does coaching matter from a confidence standpoint?

114
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.560
<v Speaker 3>And Uh, it's it's it's it's everything, and it's almost everything.

115
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Did you have bad coaches? You say, yes, no, no, no,

116
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think about it.

117
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 4>No.

118
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, man, I was really fortunate.

119
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:29.519
<v Speaker 3>I had Gary Carter and I had Brett Butler, Like

120
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.199
<v Speaker 3>when I first got into Pro Bowl, my college coach

121
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 3>I love, But I will say that I there, I've

122
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:37.959
<v Speaker 3>had two coaches that I wouldn't.

123
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Put into Okay, so you've had bad coaches. Yeah, uh,

124
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 2>and they were bad for a reason, right, you had

125
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:43.920
<v Speaker 2>a number of good ones.

126
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.519
<v Speaker 3>You could tell the difference, huge difference. There's no team effort,

127
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.040
<v Speaker 3>team attitude everything. Yeah, you're right, You're absolutely right. And

128
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 3>guys don't play hard for bad coaches. I don't care

129
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>who they are. They want to win, but they don't

130
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 3>play hard for them because they don't have to. Here's

131
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 3>the but I will say this, when the coach is

132
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 3>so bad, players will sometimes just say, f you will

133
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 3>do it for ourselves and so it kind of it

134
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 3>can work backwards, but when you're stuck into that middle ground,

135
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 3>its just But they don't do it long term.

136
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 2>They do it for game, yeah, but not long term

137
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 2>for a season. Yeah. Yeah, I agree.

138
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.959
<v Speaker 5>I had some bad coaches and they made me lose

139
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 5>a love for the game. I eventually found it again,

140
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:21.040
<v Speaker 5>but it's tough.

141
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the coaches that are are good are tough.

142
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>They demand out of you, they demand excellence and you

143
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.720
<v Speaker 2>just maybe even hate them a little, but they bring

144
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 2>the best out of you.

145
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you've got two, I mean two schools of thought, right,

146
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 3>because we talked about John Miller and Tommy Lloyd too,

147
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.839
<v Speaker 3>completely different. And I think you're what you're saying right

148
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 3>now is Sean Miller is an expectation you step on

149
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 3>the floor.

150
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're in a conduct your way.

151
00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.360
<v Speaker 3>I think Tommy's more kind of an open, I loving coach,

152
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 3>like maybe more of a family.

153
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.160
<v Speaker 2>You can make. You can make your mistakes, but he's

154
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna keep he's gonna hold you accountable very much. So right, Yeah,

155
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing a story about that. Yeah, I went through

156
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:55.199
<v Speaker 2>coaching phase. I went through both.

157
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 3>Like if you caught me at a younger age, guy

158
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 3>that broke my fung go and broke clip boards and

159
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 3>sure than my older age.

160
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 2>I was like, it must have taken something for you

161
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 2>to just not just age. Something must have happened. I

162
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 2>think I think, yeah, maybe something happened.

163
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I don't know you're asking you this question. I've

164
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 3>never really like I do take shield is such a

165
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 3>worst answer I possibly get a given. So thank you

166
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 3>Steve for giving me one of my worst speeches ever.

167
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 3>That's twice day and when I was just welcome, Welcome

168
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 3>to our Wednesday therapy session. That's what we should call it.

169
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 3>That's perfect, that was perfect harmony in the valley.

170
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 5>Last night, Kevin Durant became the eighth player in NBA

171
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 5>history scored thirty thousand points.

172
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's impressive.

173
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 3>Are you surprised that he's still with the Sons because

174
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 3>there was a lot of trade talk around Katie.

175
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Well that well, yeah true, but you know, I guess

176
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.519
<v Speaker 2>ESPN or somebody, somebody, a reporter said that they were

177
00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>having chemistry issues. And the first thing that Kad says, no,

178
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>what he else is gonna say? Right, don't you think

179
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 2>that they're playing like there's chemistry issues?

180
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's some things that are pretty blatant there, right,

181
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean that again, what do you like?

182
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 2>You said? What do you expect him to say?

183
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 3>It's I have this problem when you're watching NFL and

184
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.480
<v Speaker 3>they're asking for your sideline reporters asking questions. When a

185
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 3>coach is going into the locker room and you're like,

186
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 3>what what are you expecting him to say?

187
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 2>I say this to Jay all the time because of

188
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 2>this question, Jae, are you a good guy? What do

189
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.480
<v Speaker 2>you think he's gonna say? Yeah, of course I'm a

190
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 2>great guy. Yeah, let me hold that thought.

191
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:29.399
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you go.

192
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Ask some people. I'm asking the wrong person.

193
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I mean they still lost one one, nineteen

194
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 5>to one twelve to the grad.

195
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Fifth straight the fifth ye los.

00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

197
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see what happens with them. Uh.

198
00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 5>I saw something this morning that said that more than

199
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 5>likely after the season ends that they'll look into finding

200
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:49.600
<v Speaker 5>him a new home.

201
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure where he want to go.

202
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 2>You've had the reports where Golden State before? Butler? So

204
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>leadish whatever you want to use that word.

205
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 3>What are you saying that because I was a starting pitcher?

206
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:09.559
<v Speaker 3>Pictures and pictures you got paid to, you get paid to?

207
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Hell yeah, collected page?

208
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 2>How many? How many I talked about good coaches? How

209
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.519
<v Speaker 2>many Prima donna's did you play with?

210
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Kell?

211
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.639
<v Speaker 2>You may have even been one. No, I was never

212
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:21.320
<v Speaker 2>a Prima Donna.

213
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 3>I know what I'm saying, and that's the self a

214
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 3>reflection where you're like, I don't let me ask some

215
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.120
<v Speaker 3>of the Yeah, the community guy, no matter where we went.

216
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, quite a bit, especially the young guys that

217
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 3>are like you're you're talking about money, guys that come

218
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.240
<v Speaker 3>into it and there's a self confidence that they have

219
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 3>to have. This is vibe and success. But you could

220
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 3>also be human not you can also be human with that.

221
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah you can. Yeah, absolutely, there's two there's two

222
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 3>tails to that side. But quite a bit, quite a bit,

223
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 3>especially in baseball. The most cocky, egotistical athletes I've ever

224
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 3>come across. I mean, you've been around professional athletes, especially

225
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 3>professional baseball players, and that's the Yeah. I would say

226
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 3>maybe wide receivers would be up there to talk.

227
00:09:58.480 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>About those divas all the time.

228
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 5>So Maverick center Daniel Gaffer will be out with the

229
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 5>right knee sprain, so adding kind of insult to injury,

230
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 5>they're losing theirs not out of town. Yeah yeah, uh

231
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.000
<v Speaker 5>so that that adds to the list of Anthony Davis, Derek,

232
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 5>Derek Lively, and Dwight Powell.

233
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.399
<v Speaker 3>For them, When's when's David supposed to come back? Though

234
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 3>they said it wasn't a major injury, right six.

235
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Gosh.

236
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know. That's a tough one for me.

237
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Obviously he's a Dallas fan. You don't want Luca to go.

238
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.039
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, now you're starting to read some of

239
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.480
<v Speaker 3>those reports on him, like you're like, on what he's what?

240
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Out of shape? He's a bad clubhouse guy, Like, well, really,

241
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.039
<v Speaker 3>I didn't hear that.

242
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Hear that part. I didn't hear that part. Out of shape,

243
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 2>But I was saying, I'm sure Fernando was not in

244
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.159
<v Speaker 2>good shape. He was pretty damn good. My point is

245
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>he knows how to plant his weight. I would, I would,

246
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe we are, Hey, you're five ft seven? Has that

247
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>every problem? Has ever been the problem? Height?

248
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 3>I played this way all my life. Yeah, I don't

249
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 3>know anybod I don't know anything. I mean, listen that

250
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:58.679
<v Speaker 3>that's probably a better way to look at it. I

251
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 3>just maybe those were sports are coming out. Then you're

252
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 3>three hundred pounds. How do you score thirty points?

253
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Again? Yeah? Because I do. Yeah, that's true.

254
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 5>Kadarius Tony was arrested in Georgia after allegedly strangling a woman.

255
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 5>So who Kadarius Tony the wide receiver?

256
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 2>I think he scored the oh for Kansas City. Yeah. Oh,

257
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 2>in the in last year's Super Bowl. Oh okay, yeah,

258
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.440

00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.759
<v Speaker 2>about the Could of Guard Classic coming up, the football.

451
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Football Roadrunners, and it turns into Sugar Skulls after that.

452
00:20:28.599 --> 00:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Right, So a lot of a lot of these things

453
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.160
<v Speaker 2>love each other. You mean, they're all helping each other.

454
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.480
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely. It's all about fan experience, getting people out there,

455
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:42.039
<v Speaker 6>and you know, and Tucson what a great place to

456
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.200
<v Speaker 6>have all this stuff right here. So we need to

457
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 6>keep it going, keeping people energized, getting things to do

458
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 6>out here. And you know, we we want to keep

459
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:51.799
<v Speaker 6>all these events happening here. We don't want to lose

460
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.319
<v Speaker 6>any any more things than we had in the past.

461
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:55.759
<v Speaker 4>So, you know, being part.

462
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.559
<v Speaker 6>Of this event here in Tucson is pretty specially important

463
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:01.039
<v Speaker 6>for everybody doing what it or whatever they're doing here

464
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 6>in Tucson. So it's a good thing.

465
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Jose's right.

466
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to think when the last time, especially with

467
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:09.559
<v Speaker 3>one hundred year anniversary, and don't be I mean people

468
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.680
<v Speaker 3>have reached out to people I'm talking to, especially maybe

469
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 3>on the film side and media side, are coming from

470
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.720
<v Speaker 3>all over the country to see the rodeo, to film it,

471
00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:18.519
<v Speaker 3>to be a part of it. Like, there's so much

472
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.119
<v Speaker 3>buzz around Tucson right now with what we're doing on

473
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:22.160
<v Speaker 3>all different aspects.

474
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:23.039
<v Speaker 2>You've got the gym show.

475
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:25.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to think the last time we've had a

476
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.759
<v Speaker 3>couple of months back to back with all these things

477
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:29.680
<v Speaker 3>happening and at this high level.

478
00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're absolutely right.

479
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.240
<v Speaker 6>And there again, I mean, I don't know if you've

480
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.920
<v Speaker 6>had a chance to see this given chancy of this

481
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.759
<v Speaker 6>great mural that we did downtown on Alameda and Touli

482
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm four story mural, one hundred and forty feet, you know,

483
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 6>like Nasu Garcia made, probably the best muraler is in Tucson.

484
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.640
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's just something magnificent. It represents not just

485
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 6>the Tucson Rodeo, but it represents cultures and just Tucson itself.

486
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 6>When you look at it, it's it's in your face.

487
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 6>And that's just something really proud to be part of.

488
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:05.920
<v Speaker 2>And the kids love you because they get it out

489
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.400
<v Speaker 2>of school.

490
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 6>Isn't that great? Were the only rodeo that does that?

491
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.039
<v Speaker 6>Can you believe that? And we still do it. And

492
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 6>I'll tell you what. The kids look forward to come

493
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.119
<v Speaker 6>to the Tucson Rodeos, no doubt about it.

494
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, don't when does the when's the parade?

495
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 6>The parade is on the twenty the nineteenth, I'm sorry,

496
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 6>on the twentieth. So rodeo is from the fifteenth to

497
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:31.720
<v Speaker 6>the sixteenth, and then on Wednesday we have a concert

498
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:35.559
<v Speaker 6>from two to nine thirty with three great stars coming

499
00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:39.319
<v Speaker 6>out to perform. And then the parade is on the twentieth,

500
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:42.519
<v Speaker 6>and then of course Friday, Saturday Sunday for the finals.

501
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

502
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:44.799
<v Speaker 2>No, it's a great experience. I've been through a couple

503
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>of times, covered Ty Marie when he was here, when

504
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:48.960
<v Speaker 2>he was the Michael Jordan Rodeo.

505
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:53.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, big time, big time. So we do get all

506
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 6>those NFR contestants, the one that you see at the NFR,

507
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:59.240
<v Speaker 6>they're going to be coming through Tucson once or maybe

508
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 6>twice that they get lucky. This weekend's coming up. So,

509
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.160
<v Speaker 6>like I said, it's a big one, all the big stars.

510
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.720
<v Speaker 6>We have the best stock contractor in the world, I think,

511
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 6>Benny Butler, and he brings the best because in order

512
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:13.559
<v Speaker 6>to get the best rides and get the best experience,

513
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 6>you got to bring in the best stock, that's for sure.

514
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:17.559
<v Speaker 2>I did a story for BIZ Tucson a couple of

515
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>months ago. Enjoyed talking to Sam and mister Baird. I

516
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.319
<v Speaker 2>can't remember though, because I'm getting old. You're the second

517
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 2>largest or largest outdoor rodeo in America.

518
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we are, especially on the Southwest out here, there's

519
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:33.400
<v Speaker 6>a couple of big ones out there. You still got

520
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.799
<v Speaker 6>Cheyenne and some other big ones out there. But we've

521
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 6>got a big, big rodeo. We got a big fan base,

522
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 6>and we got a big arena. I mean, if you

523
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.240
<v Speaker 6>go to any a lot of rodeos out there, this

524
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.559
<v Speaker 6>is one of the biggest arenas and people that's what

525
00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 6>they love about this. The contestants love about this. There's

526
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 6>a lot of elbow room when you're inside that dirt.

527
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.640
<v Speaker 6>So it's where we're big time. We're big time. We're

528
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 6>super proud of it.

529
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.240
<v Speaker 2>How long have you been part of this? Because I

530
00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>know once you're in you're kind of hooked, you know, Sam,

531
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 2>it has been around for a couple of decades. Mister Williams,

532
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it was mister Williams. Gary was in forever.

533
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:10.359
<v Speaker 6>Oh man, Gary, he was. He was my mentor's note doubt.

534
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.000
<v Speaker 6>Gary was in it for about forty years. Sam's been

535
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.240
<v Speaker 6>in it for about ten years, maybe eight ten years.

536
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:18.079
<v Speaker 4>I still consider myself on you, but I've been out

537
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:18.559
<v Speaker 4>there since.

538
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:21.519
<v Speaker 6>Two thousand and five, and it sounds like a lot.

539
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 6>But when you got people that have been out there

540
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 6>for thirty forty to fifty even sixty years. You know,

541
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.000
<v Speaker 6>me hav him just twenty years into it. I'm still

542
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:32.680
<v Speaker 6>relatively new. But we you know, we continue to pay

543
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 6>the road. We hope to get to this roadio to

544
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:37.359
<v Speaker 6>the next you know, two hundred year you know, I mean,

545
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:39.920
<v Speaker 6>we got to keep going. And we're pretty strong based

546
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:41.759
<v Speaker 6>out here. And like I said, it's.

547
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:43.319
<v Speaker 4>Part of our Tucson tradition. This is a.

548
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:46.440
<v Speaker 6>Tradition, part of Mexico and the US and the Buck

549
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 6>Ghetto and the Buckhetto and the cowboy and the cowgirl.

550
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 6>It's just part of our culture. And we just don't

551
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 6>want to see that culture go away. It needs sustained Tucson,

552
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:55.519
<v Speaker 6>it really does.

553
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:58.079
<v Speaker 2>You talk about paved the way, but you also pay

554
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:00.599
<v Speaker 2>the way. I think it's u more than a half

555
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.240
<v Speaker 2>a million dollars in prize money, seven hundred thousand.

556
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:06.400
<v Speaker 6>There's so much money going out there. I'll tell you

557
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.240
<v Speaker 6>one thing, and that's whether that's why the cowboys love

558
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.440
<v Speaker 6>to come to our rodeo right here. And you know,

559
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:14.359
<v Speaker 6>we we we've been trying to do some you know,

560
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 6>run some tests and everything else. And you know, we're

561
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.160
<v Speaker 6>generating close to seventeen million here in Tucson just those

562
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 6>two weeks right there, just from people coming to Tucson Rodeo.

563
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:23.759
<v Speaker 6>So it's a big thing right now.

564
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 4>There's people from all.

565
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 6>Over the world to come see our rodeo and we're

566
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:29.519
<v Speaker 6>doing a lot of good things. Also, we're getting involved

567
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 6>with a lot of organizations starting to do more community

568
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 6>events out here.

569
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 4>And that's what we want to do. We're in a

570
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 4>comfortable set.

571
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 6>We're comfortable in the saddle now that we can start

572
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 6>utilizing these grounds more than just once a year and

573
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:45.160
<v Speaker 6>start doing more events and be part of more of

574
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 6>a community. And we're pretty excited about that, and we're

575
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:49.480
<v Speaker 6>pretty excited about the future.

576
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you have since you've been here since in it

577
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:56.319
<v Speaker 2>since two thousand and five, any of the great memories

578
00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that you have, you know, maybe have met somebody of

579
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:03.240
<v Speaker 2>a former big time dude or maybe even some movie

580
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:04.079
<v Speaker 2>stars that came through.

581
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:07.920
<v Speaker 6>I tell you, I've met some great people throughout this time,

582
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 6>especially more in the rodeo business of course, and a

583
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 6>lot of more people were I looked up to when

584
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:15.920
<v Speaker 6>I used to rodeo. I'll tell you when I wrote

585
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 6>you in the early nineties, and I had more I

586
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:21.440
<v Speaker 6>had more hospital bills, and I did winning, so I

587
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.000
<v Speaker 6>can't think so.

588
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 4>Much about that.

589
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.079
<v Speaker 6>But I did meet a lot of mentors, people I

590
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 6>looked up to. And there's just something about the cowboy way,

591
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.240
<v Speaker 6>the cowboy love style where you do see the young

592
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 6>kids they really look up to this right here, because

593
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.640
<v Speaker 6>I think everybody once in a lifetime wanted to be

594
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 6>a cowboy or a cowboy at one time or another. And

595
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:42.720
<v Speaker 6>this is a big thing. And you know what, even

596
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:44.920
<v Speaker 6>though if you wear your hat three hundred and sixty

597
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:46.599
<v Speaker 6>five days of a year, you just wear it one

598
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 6>time a year, it doesn't matter. We loved everybody to

599
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 6>come to see our experience a great show, and it's

600
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:57.000
<v Speaker 6>it's open for everybody. And so the memories, it's hard

601
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 6>to pick any, but I've had so many great memories

602
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:02.880
<v Speaker 6>pre Rodeo, when it's pride, became on the committee and

603
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 6>being on the committee, and I still to this day

604
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:07.920
<v Speaker 6>need a lot of great people and doing a lot

605
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 6>of great things for the sport and the communities.

606
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:13.240
<v Speaker 2>It's funny you're talking about hospital bills. I think a

607
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:16.400
<v Speaker 2>roofer in Tucson and a rodio dude in Tucson, he

608
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 2>long way to make a living.

609
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:21.680
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I tell you, man, it's a hard right There's

610
00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:23.880
<v Speaker 6>no doubt there's a hard gig right there. That's what

611
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.920
<v Speaker 6>makes the sport so unique. You know, it's you know,

612
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:28.920
<v Speaker 6>it's a lot of times. You know, we talk about

613
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:30.720
<v Speaker 6>that eight second ride, but it does feel like an

614
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 6>eternity up there. But it's amazing with these men and

615
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 6>women they put their body through. And I'll tell you what,

616
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 6>we tip our hats to this wonderful stock. They are

617
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:41.880
<v Speaker 6>everything's everything in that arena is an athlete.

618
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:44.240
<v Speaker 3>So you kind of go ahead, No, I was going

619
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:46.759
<v Speaker 3>to ask because they I mean, this is phenomenal. And

620
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:49.519

<v Speaker 6>just up to mother nature hopefully she cooperates with us.

653
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.720
<v Speaker 6>But looking at everything and looking at the Farmer's Almanac,

654
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.079
<v Speaker 6>even at that, and it looks like we're gonna be okay,

655
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:11.720
<v Speaker 6>and it looks like the wedding is just supposed to

656
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 6>be just perfect, and we really want that enough.

657
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.599
<v Speaker 4>It's not so much for us, even though we're.

658
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.920
<v Speaker 6>Out all year trying to get this ready. But woll

659
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:21.920

660
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.720

663
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 6>what we provide this great event here in Tucson.

664
00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember what the number I had written about

665
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.039
<v Speaker 2>the expectations with the crowd for all these days, but

666
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 2>it's sell out every time. Every day it's gone.

667
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:48.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, we're shutting down a ray some days already. I

668
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:50.119
<v Speaker 6>tell you one thing, if you're thinking of going to

669
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:53.039
<v Speaker 6>the rodeo, you better get your tickets now, because do

670
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:54.880
<v Speaker 6>not wait at the gate because they may.

671
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:55.519
<v Speaker 4>Be sold out.

672
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.599
<v Speaker 6>We've sold out in a lot of venues like a

673
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 6>Buckheto club that I run also wet selling tickets out

674
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.480

<v Speaker 2>you guys have been down at that site for a while.

704
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.519

<v Speaker 6>out there.

707
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:27.680
<v Speaker 4>In nineteen twenty five. That's where they started and they.

708
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:31.000
<v Speaker 6>Lined up all the Model a's and that was part

709
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:32.799
<v Speaker 6>of the arena. They made a big circle and used

710
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:35.559
<v Speaker 6>the headlines when they needed to. And I'll tell you

711
00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 6>one thing, it's I just wonder what the people back

712
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 6>in nineteen twenty five thought if everybody's ever going to

713
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 6>go to one hundred years.

714
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:43.480

846
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:03.559

847
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:04.960
<v Speaker 3>a good drinker, not a good study.

848
00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:07.239
<v Speaker 2>That's it. I made it through. Did you what you

849
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:10.280
<v Speaker 2>get to do? Did you get no? University of Colorado,

850
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Denver Metros. That's right. We talked about the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, cool,

851
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:15.840
<v Speaker 2>let's talk more about the baseball. Anybody want to call

852
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:18.000
<v Speaker 2>to talk about last night's game, that's fine. You want

853
00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:20.639
<v Speaker 2>to get the frustration out. Of course, it may already

854
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:23.880
<v Speaker 2>be out after last night's game. I think they'll be

855
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:26.360
<v Speaker 2>fine on Saturday. Should be fun. If you have a ticket,

856
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.079
<v Speaker 2>good for you. I think if you have season tickets

857
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:31.280
<v Speaker 2>like you do this, this is the reason why you

858
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:38.159
<v Speaker 2>have season tickets. You had Iowa State, Duke Duke, Texas Tech, Houston, Houston, Baylor,

859
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes for and then you have to who's here for

860
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the non conference? You see only up there in Phoenix

861
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:47.440
<v Speaker 2>that's at Yeah. No, but yeah, exactly.

862
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Can we can we talk about this real quick before

863
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.239
<v Speaker 3>we move on? What's your feelings on neutral site games

864
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:51.840
<v Speaker 3>as a fan?

865
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:57.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a fan. I like I like them. I

866
00:38:57.679 --> 00:38:59.280
<v Speaker 2>like them because it kind of gives you a true

867
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.440
<v Speaker 2>gage of who you are. You don't get you have

868
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the fans, but let me see, fans don't mean anything otherwise.

869
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:09.119
<v Speaker 2>There was one was gone to fifteen thousand final fours. Okay,

870
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.400
<v Speaker 2>but is the purpose having in the footprint center? So,

871
00:39:12.519 --> 00:39:14.559
<v Speaker 2>like we were talking about it earlier, we went and

872
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:17.400
<v Speaker 2>saw Indiana play in Vegas and it was seventy percent

873
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Indiana fans and we travel well. It blew my mind. No, no, no,

874
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:22.440
<v Speaker 2>that's a neutral site that I'm like, Okay, this makes sense.

875
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Hold the thought because I want to talk about that. Okay,

876
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:28.360
<v Speaker 2>we got a call. Hello, you're in the air. Hey Steve,

877
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:29.039
<v Speaker 2>this is done.

878
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 10>How'm going?

879
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, my sparring.

880
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:33.400
<v Speaker 4>Partners very well.

881
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:36.639
<v Speaker 10>I meant to get in about an hour ago, but

882
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:39.960
<v Speaker 10>I got busy with work and everything, so I had

883
00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:44.679
<v Speaker 10>to come in and take my lumps. But but as

884
00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:50.440
<v Speaker 10>I'm thinking about it, Arizona didn't lose to Kansas State

885
00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 10>last night.

886
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.559
<v Speaker 2>They beat them so, without questions, without.

887
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:56.639
<v Speaker 10>Question, if they if they played like they had the

888
00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:59.800
<v Speaker 10>last three weeks, they beat those They beat those guys

889
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:01.800
<v Speaker 10>by fifteen, no question.

890
00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Man. But Kansas State's not a slouch. Let's let's start

891
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.800
<v Speaker 2>that there. They're not a slouch. If guess what if

892
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Arizona were to play well in the in in March

893
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:14.440
<v Speaker 2>how they had been playing, they get to the final four.

894
00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:16.719
<v Speaker 2>But guess what, it doesn't work that way.

895
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:17.639
<v Speaker 4>It just doesn't.

896
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:21.280
<v Speaker 10>No, no, it doesn't. And we know that because you know,

897
00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:22.559
<v Speaker 10>we've been here a long.

898
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Time exactly, and.

899
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:30.360
<v Speaker 10>When it's crunch time, as and Arizona has lost very

900
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:33.519
<v Speaker 10>few times where they've beaten by the other team. It

901
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:37.679
<v Speaker 10>has been our you know, our own undoings or their

902
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:41.840
<v Speaker 10>own ondoings. I'm not on the team and I don't

903
00:40:41.840 --> 00:40:43.280
<v Speaker 10>have season tickets anymore.

904
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:46.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so so you you followed it closely for a

905
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:48.840
<v Speaker 2>long time. I know that done because of how we

906
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:52.719
<v Speaker 2>talk on the show. Uh, isn't it perfect? Arizona basketball?

907
00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:55.519
<v Speaker 2>They played this They played the last few games very

908
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:58.159
<v Speaker 2>very well in the Texas, Texas, Iowa States. Then they

909
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:00.840
<v Speaker 2>laid this one, laid this one a gig and then

910
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Saturday play out of their mind and win. And just

911
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:04.639
<v Speaker 2>that's just how it is.

912
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.760
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, that that's that's how it goes. And that's what

913
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.920
<v Speaker 10>we're all hoping to see. But I mean, we could

914
00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:14.639
<v Speaker 10>see last night again and get run out of our

915
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:19.119
<v Speaker 10>own building. It's I don't think it's very likely, but

916
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:24.519
<v Speaker 10>we could see that. And and and I don't like

917
00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:26.480
<v Speaker 10>neutral site games.

918
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Because because I mean, well, if if if you want

919
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:36.000
<v Speaker 2>to have a series and you want to.

920
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:39.400
<v Speaker 4>Play, well, let's let's let's say let's take u C.

921
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:40.280
<v Speaker 2>L A.

922
00:41:40.440 --> 00:41:42.679
<v Speaker 10>Because now you know now that's going to be out

923
00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 10>of conference and everything else, those games should be at Poly,

924
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:53.480
<v Speaker 10>at Michale, not in Phoenix, and not at THET I

925
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:55.679
<v Speaker 10>don't even know what it's called, the Honda Center, the

926
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:01.280
<v Speaker 10>Arrowhead Pond. I mean that diminishes it for both schools,

927
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:05.360
<v Speaker 10>for both student bodies, and just for the college game altogether.

928
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:08.679
<v Speaker 10>You know they're not it's not an NBA game. It

929
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:11.639
<v Speaker 10>doesn't need to be in some at some corporate location

930
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:13.239
<v Speaker 10>off off campus.

931
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:16.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean I would I don't disagree with both of

932
00:42:16.760 --> 00:42:18.360
<v Speaker 2>you guys. To me, it doesn't matter if that's what

933
00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna go with it, But I think part

934
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:23.920
<v Speaker 2>of the proceeds are nil they put it into I mean,

935
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:24.679
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense to me.

936
00:42:24.719 --> 00:42:27.280
<v Speaker 3>But I think the old school thought process was creating

937
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:29.320
<v Speaker 3>a different fan base or extending a fan base, which

938
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:31.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't think you really. I mean, I've been to

939
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:34.159
<v Speaker 3>those neutral side games and I don't think that's really well.

940
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, Phoenix exactly because they have a lot of alums

941
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:39.280
<v Speaker 2>in Phoenix allowed the chance to see you. You areson to.

942
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:41.679
<v Speaker 3>Play, Yeah, but would you rather watch Arizona play at

943
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Footprint Center or at McHale. It's a completely different atmosphere.

944
00:42:46.559 --> 00:42:51.880
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, the home court, the home court advantage is still

945
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:56.039
<v Speaker 10>there because you could Arizona could play, could play an

946
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:59.039
<v Speaker 10>East Coast team at Team Mobile in Vegas, and okay,

947
00:42:59.079 --> 00:43:02.239
<v Speaker 10>it's Vegas. Every I can get there. Arizona's still going

948
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:05.159
<v Speaker 10>to have a home court advantage, but it's not Michale Center.

949
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:05.599
<v Speaker 4>True.

950
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I will debate you with the home court advantage because

951
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:11.559
<v Speaker 2>numerous times, Well, you talked about the Indiana game.

952
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we went to that Indian game. Indiana game with

953
00:43:14.719 --> 00:43:17.119
<v Speaker 3>seventy thirty is not not even believing.

954
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:19.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure that Arizona fans that got there says, oh,

955
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:22.480
<v Speaker 2>we're Arizona. We have with Norris, Oh look at this.

956
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it was. It was mind blowing. Yes, par do

957
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you give you some awakening? Oh? Yeah, absolutely.

958
00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:30.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's also the Plac twelve mentality at that

959
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.480
<v Speaker 3>point to where it's kind of the King's crowns.

960
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:35.440
<v Speaker 2>You're wearing it. Hey done, before you go, come me

961
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:37.239
<v Speaker 2>on front. Jay's going to be with me. We can

962
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:41.119
<v Speaker 2>talk about Saturday's game. Okay. And I still heard.

963
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:42.760
<v Speaker 4>You of a chance last night on the TV.

964
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that went? How well? Did it go?

965
00:43:47.000 --> 00:43:49.400
<v Speaker 10>Well? You know, I mean you hear it, and you

966
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.639
<v Speaker 10>hear it and it looks good when other teams are

967
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:55.320
<v Speaker 10>looking at watching the game where you're going, there's Arizona

968
00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:57.400
<v Speaker 10>fans there, Holy holy right.

969
00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:00.599
<v Speaker 2>You know it looks good. Yeah, okay, thanks time, we'll

970
00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:00.800
<v Speaker 2>talk to you.

971
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:02.440
<v Speaker 4>Fiveday, thank you.

972
00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Man. So to your point in Vegas, uh and just

973
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's kind of a point. And I've seen it.

974
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.760
<v Speaker 2>I traveled with the team for a long time. Arizona

975
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:13.480
<v Speaker 2>goes to Anaheim. Their home court advantage sweet sixteen ille

976
00:44:13.599 --> 00:44:15.960
<v Speaker 2>eight whatever. You know how you know how that meant

977
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:19.639
<v Speaker 2>last year they played you know what meant zero zero?

978
00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:22.599
<v Speaker 2>It means nothing. Oh, they play well, they're going to

979
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 2>be travel having ninety percent of the fans there, it

980
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:28.840
<v Speaker 2>means nothing. Every time they play in Anaheim, they lose

981
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.719
<v Speaker 2>in the tournament with fans. Yeah, that's true. There's no

982
00:44:31.760 --> 00:44:33.960
<v Speaker 2>home court adtage when there's fans. They had to play

983
00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:37.519
<v Speaker 2>the other team on a neutral site court. Yeah, you're

984
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:39.039
<v Speaker 2>not used to that court. You're not playing on it

985
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:41.000
<v Speaker 2>every day, and both teams have to deal with it.

986
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Fans in the sands doesn't mean anything. It doesn't. It means,

987
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:48.679
<v Speaker 2>oh they have more fat who cares? Yeah, honestly, I'm

988
00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:51.119
<v Speaker 2>not trying to be flippant or funny. No, no, no,

989
00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:54.280
<v Speaker 2>if if I were to do a dissertation, I would

990
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:55.519
<v Speaker 2>use those examples.

991
00:44:55.960 --> 00:44:58.639
<v Speaker 3>I remember playing the White Sox, a ball team, and

992
00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:01.039
<v Speaker 3>we were walking out of the stadium or walking into

993
00:45:01.039 --> 00:45:03.199
<v Speaker 3>the game, I can't remember which one, and fans were

994
00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:05.840
<v Speaker 3>calling us Yankees and then like get out of here,

995
00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:08.480
<v Speaker 3>you Yankees, and it was like the weirdest moment in

996
00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.360
<v Speaker 3>my life, like cursing at us and like spitting in

997
00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:13.360
<v Speaker 3>our general direction, and I was like, where am I?

998
00:45:13.920 --> 00:45:15.679
<v Speaker 3>But I was in South Carolina. That's where I was

999
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:17.599
<v Speaker 3>at that point. So it's just the strangest thing I've

1000
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:20.000
<v Speaker 3>ever And did it matter didn't. No, I don't care

1001
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:22.960
<v Speaker 3>at all. Only one time I've ever seen a heckler

1002
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:26.639
<v Speaker 3>and the audience like affects somebody's performance on the field.

1003
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:29.800
<v Speaker 3>So it's a story. I had to tell you off here,

1004
00:45:30.920 --> 00:45:34.400
<v Speaker 3>said you can understand what are you in the South? Yes,

1005
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:38.519
<v Speaker 3>same place, Okay, it doesn't shock, same series calls.

1006
00:45:38.519 --> 00:45:41.840
<v Speaker 2>We're good. Yeah. So to your point, home court advantage,

1007
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:45.000
<v Speaker 2>it's not if it's actually home court advantage, yes, because

1008
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:48.199
<v Speaker 2>it's comfortable, you know exactly where the spots are, you

1009
00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:51.400
<v Speaker 2>know the room. Kansas State Party benefited a little from it,

1010
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:55.679
<v Speaker 2>even though they shot forty two. But neutral side fans, fans,

1011
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:59.199
<v Speaker 2>fans Vegas, Vegas, they have a lot of fans. Okay,

1012
00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:00.800
<v Speaker 2>so what yeah, I was.

1013
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:04.239
<v Speaker 3>I was saying more from our you know, our community standpoint,

1014
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:06.440
<v Speaker 3>where you're you know, you're talking about ticket holders or

1015
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:09.119
<v Speaker 3>season ticket holders or you're buying a group of tickets,

1016
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:12.000
<v Speaker 3>and you're going into it going okay, like we talked

1017
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:14.519
<v Speaker 3>about you, Duke Houston, Baylor. You've got all these phenomenal teams,

1018
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.400
<v Speaker 3>and you're like UCLA's on there. But then I've got

1019
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:19.400
<v Speaker 3>to go to so I'm paying for season ticket, but

1020
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:21.480
<v Speaker 3>then I've got to pay for another ticket to go to.

1021
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Wait, wait, you had tickets? So was that a home

1022
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Was that a home court ticket? No?

1023
00:46:25.679 --> 00:46:27.360
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I had to pay for the for the

1024
00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:29.800
<v Speaker 3>UCLA ticket. But as it is like for me, and

1025
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:31.639
<v Speaker 3>I know this is just saying this in the air

1026
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.679
<v Speaker 3>now a grievances because I'll all use complain all the time. Uh,

1027
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:37.639
<v Speaker 3>if I'm paying for season tickets, I don't want to

1028
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:39.239
<v Speaker 3>drive an hour and a half up north to watch

1029
00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:41.360
<v Speaker 3>a game that should be played in Sure. But did

1030
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:43.639
<v Speaker 3>you go yeah, of course we do. Yeah, And I

1031
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:46.920
<v Speaker 3>was depressed the whole second half. I was ten minutes

1032
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:50.199
<v Speaker 3>that I didn't so I was sulking. Let me say

1033
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:53.639
<v Speaker 3>this because the projections are and it's not going to happen.

1034
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:56.480
<v Speaker 3>But the backetology it was almost a three and I.

1035
00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Think I'm saying three ten ten overall is what in

1036
00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:01.199
<v Speaker 2>UCLA's part of that and they would play in the

1037
00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:03.400
<v Speaker 2>second round Arizonna beat them by ten.

1038
00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean u c l A just beat Michigan State.

1039
00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:07.360
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I would agree with you on that. Yeah,

1040
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:11.519
<v Speaker 3>turnaround game, they'll beat them easy. Yeah, I shouldn't say easy,

1041
00:47:11.559 --> 00:47:12.800
<v Speaker 3>but they'll beat them. We're not going to be a

1042
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.719
<v Speaker 3>three c I. It's gonna now no, Yeah, it's gonna

1043
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:17.320
<v Speaker 3>be a tough stretch to these next three games.

1044
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:20.159
<v Speaker 2>You'll be I would be, So, I would be, okay

1045
00:47:20.199 --> 00:47:22.119
<v Speaker 2>if we want one to show you guys really want one,

1046
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.519
<v Speaker 2>you're realistic because now you've listened to me enough to

1047
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:27.000
<v Speaker 2>become realistic. And you're a long time that and so

1048
00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:30.559
<v Speaker 2>and so are you. So you listen to to Briant.

1049
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:33.719
<v Speaker 2>The front end was was what it was. And I've

1050
00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:35.639
<v Speaker 2>been telling they're not as good as you think they are.

1051
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:37.760
<v Speaker 2>They're not as good as you think they are. They're

1052
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:39.440
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, but they're not as good as you think

1053
00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:42.480
<v Speaker 2>they are. And now the back end, So how were

1054
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.800
<v Speaker 2>you bought into the eleven and one good? Please and

1055
00:47:45.840 --> 00:47:47.320
<v Speaker 2>be honest, one hundred percent honest.

1056
00:47:47.360 --> 00:47:50.199
<v Speaker 3>I think this is this is a really good team

1057
00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:52.639
<v Speaker 3>in the sense that when they play as a team,

1058
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:54.039
<v Speaker 3>I think they can beat anybody.

1059
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:56.800
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean by really good? Good? Not great? Good?

1060
00:47:56.920 --> 00:48:00.159
<v Speaker 2>Not great? I think they're better than good, Okay. I

1061
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:01.239
<v Speaker 2>think to see a team.

1062
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:02.719
<v Speaker 3>Go from what we started to get to the point

1063
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:04.920
<v Speaker 3>that now they have to be better than good. You

1064
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:07.480
<v Speaker 3>have to have key pieces, and you're seeing guys develop

1065
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:09.880
<v Speaker 3>in front of your You're looking at the transition of

1066
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Alaka and Vsar once you know, totally. We all talked

1067
00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:14.800
<v Speaker 3>about this, and people might disagree with me. Miller was

1068
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:18.039
<v Speaker 3>a phenomenal recruiter, maybe the best in the country, you know,

1069
00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:21.960
<v Speaker 3>a top three, But I never saw players truly developed, developer, right,

1070
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.000
<v Speaker 3>And with Tommy, this is the first time that you're

1071
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:25.239
<v Speaker 3>watching these guys like to.

1072
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:28.079
<v Speaker 2>His credit to Miller, he didn't have them long enough

1073
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:29.920
<v Speaker 2>to develop. No, and he probably didn't need to. You're

1074
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:32.039
<v Speaker 2>getting all Americans, right, You're getting high level guys. You're

1075
00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:34.360
<v Speaker 2>getting five star guys. Thanks for noticing. Yeah, you're right,

1076
00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:37.480
<v Speaker 2>but it's a different aspect. I don't think you I

1077
00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:38.960
<v Speaker 2>don't think you can call them good. I think they

1078
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:41.480
<v Speaker 2>have to be really good and they're not great, but

1079
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:43.840
<v Speaker 2>I think they're a team that so that tells me

1080
00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:46.599
<v Speaker 2>they are a five to six seven. See I think

1081
00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:49.079
<v Speaker 2>four to seven. I think four to six. Okay, so

1082
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:51.280
<v Speaker 2>good one one? So how do you feel about that?

1083
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Are they good? Were they good? How good?

1084
00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:54.480
<v Speaker 6>You?

1085
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Leven?

1086
00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:57.199
<v Speaker 2>In one? They were good? Very good? What were they?

1087
00:48:57.639 --> 00:48:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

1088
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:01.679
<v Speaker 5>I'll agree, really good? Where there was really no middle

1089
00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:04.400
<v Speaker 5>level with them. They were either playing perfect games or

1090
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:07.960
<v Speaker 5>near perfect games or just kind of getting by. And

1091
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:10.159
<v Speaker 5>you're just kind of wondering, well, which team's gonna show

1092
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:13.000
<v Speaker 5>up today? Which Caleb Love is going to show up today? Well, well,

1093
00:49:13.039 --> 00:49:14.320
<v Speaker 5>Henry Vassar show up today.

1094
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that scary moving forward? Because you have you are

1095
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:20.000
<v Speaker 2>always going to have that which which Caleb Love is

1096
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:21.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna show up? But Henry is going to show up?

1097
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Jaleb Jayden plays better? You known' I'm saying it's Oh,

1098
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:28.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I think you have so many pieces

1099
00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:30.159
<v Speaker 2>that step up. I mean delorso we don't talk about

1100
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:31.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot, but that's a guy that if he can

1101
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:33.599
<v Speaker 2>get like I thought, I thought Tommy was going to

1102
00:49:33.679 --> 00:49:35.519
<v Speaker 2>ride him a little bit more last night from an

1103
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:38.719
<v Speaker 2>offen because and he got some shots off like that

1104
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:40.199
<v Speaker 2>that bank shot that he put up early.

1105
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:42.360
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Okay, he found a rhythm. I just

1106
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:45.039
<v Speaker 3>think you have some A walk has turned into a

1107
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:48.199
<v Speaker 3>monster underneath there. Not a double dumble machine, but pretty close.

1108
00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:50.519
<v Speaker 3>I think Brian's going to continue. So I think you

1109
00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:53.280
<v Speaker 3>can have the you know, you can have love be off,

1110
00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:56.519
<v Speaker 3>you can have Visa. Bradley's gonna step up. We don't

1111
00:49:56.519 --> 00:49:58.880
<v Speaker 3>even talk about kJ nearly enough for what he contributes

1112
00:49:58.920 --> 00:50:00.519
<v Speaker 3>to the game. Last night we had one of those

1113
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:04.280
<v Speaker 3>crazy games. Yeah, it's just it's it's I would be

1114
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:08.000
<v Speaker 3>more surprised us losing in the first round this year

1115
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:09.840
<v Speaker 3>in March than I would if we went to the

1116
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:10.360
<v Speaker 3>lead the eight.

1117
00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:11.599
<v Speaker 2>But does that make sense?

1118
00:50:12.039 --> 00:50:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Like I see this team, I'm more comfortable coming on

1119
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:16.599
<v Speaker 3>the air and saying like when I fin out finished,

1120
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I'll fill out my bracket and I've got them going

1121
00:50:18.920 --> 00:50:21.199
<v Speaker 3>to the lead eight. I'm more comfortable with this team

1122
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.079
<v Speaker 3>in that situation than I have been in the years past,

1123
00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:25.519
<v Speaker 3>because really I'm talking about the losses we've had to

1124
00:50:25.559 --> 00:50:28.159
<v Speaker 3>Texas Tech to Case State Like, they're not blowout losses.

1125
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:31.599
<v Speaker 3>So even at our worst, we still are grinding with

1126
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:33.800
<v Speaker 3>a chance to win the game. Where you look, in

1127
00:50:33.840 --> 00:50:36.800
<v Speaker 3>the years past, we were getting our bots blown out

1128
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:38.320
<v Speaker 3>in certain games when we didn't step up, when we

1129
00:50:38.360 --> 00:50:39.920
<v Speaker 3>played down to the competition. I think it's just a

1130
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:40.719
<v Speaker 3>different feel for me.

1131
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, we talked about this, yes, so I called it

1132
00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:45.239
<v Speaker 2>the last two games, the Sprinkle game. You got a

1133
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:48.320
<v Speaker 2>little dash of this and that from everybody, even even

1134
00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:51.599
<v Speaker 2>Caleb going six for twelve seventeen. That's a dash enough

1135
00:50:51.599 --> 00:50:54.119
<v Speaker 2>for him because he's got fifteen points in a few suss.

1136
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:58.280
<v Speaker 2>But you need you definitely need that every game. You

1137
00:50:58.320 --> 00:51:01.920
<v Speaker 2>definitely need that because that covers for Caleb.

1138
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:04.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah tell me, Yeah, No, we talked about that earlier. Yeah,

1139
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:07.280
<v Speaker 3>And you're gonna and when you're playing, when you're playing

1140
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.519
<v Speaker 3>the Houstons of the world that are your top ten.

1141
00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:12.639
<v Speaker 2>You have no worry about that. I don't have they

1142
00:51:12.639 --> 00:51:14.639
<v Speaker 2>play Houston and they're playing him in the Sweet sixteen,

1143
00:51:14.719 --> 00:51:16.880
<v Speaker 2>blah blah. I have no worry. They're not gonna show up. Yeah,

1144
00:51:16.920 --> 00:51:19.760
<v Speaker 2>you play you play college with Charleston in the first round.

1145
00:51:20.159 --> 00:51:22.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Yeah, I really don't know.

1146
00:51:23.920 --> 00:51:25.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the scary thing is if a team gets

1147
00:51:25.960 --> 00:51:28.000
<v Speaker 3>hot from three. But I thought, b why you shot

1148
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:29.840
<v Speaker 3>pretty well from the beyond the arc, and we hung

1149
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:30.239
<v Speaker 3>with them.

1150
00:51:30.159 --> 00:51:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And then we kind of just kick their butts. But

1151
00:51:33.039 --> 00:51:34.800
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna say. You're not gonna say, oh, we're

1152
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.559
<v Speaker 2>really good because we beat b YU well, because we

1153
00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:40.440
<v Speaker 2>beat you know, West Virginia and Cincinnati.

1154
00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:42.480
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm saying really good because we were able to

1155
00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:46.280
<v Speaker 3>transition into a completely different offensive flow mid season and

1156
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:48.400
<v Speaker 3>watch to turn on a defense that I've when's the

1157
00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:50.320
<v Speaker 3>last time you saw Arizona play defense?

1158
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.880
<v Speaker 2>No, let me tell you. Sold me on their toughness

1159
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:56.159
<v Speaker 2>and their defense. Yeah, and you're gonna lose it sometimes

1160
00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:57.400
<v Speaker 2>like last night. Yeah.

1161
00:51:57.480 --> 00:52:00.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that right there is why I think this is

1162
00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:03.079
<v Speaker 5>a sweet sixteen. I can comfortably say even in a

1163
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:05.000
<v Speaker 5>month that this is a sweet sixteen team.

1164
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Defense, defense, toughness, toughness. And now if you just had

1165
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.440
<v Speaker 2>some offense, and that's a scary that's that's the offense

1166
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:12.840
<v Speaker 2>shows up.

1167
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:16.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, lead a final four, possibly sweet sixteen is this

1168
00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:19.320
<v Speaker 5>is quite the sweet spot for this Arizona team.

1169
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you this question. Have you have we

1170
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:25.480
<v Speaker 3>seen this team? I'm maybe we talked about it a

1171
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:27.400
<v Speaker 3>little bit that first half in Baylor, but have you

1172
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:29.159
<v Speaker 3>seen this team at its very best?

1173
00:52:29.239 --> 00:52:32.199
<v Speaker 2>Texas Tech? Texas Tech in that stretch where they were tough,

1174
00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:34.960
<v Speaker 2>they were like I hadn't seen tough like this, toughness

1175
00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.000
<v Speaker 2>like this in a long time, and things were going

1176
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:39.480
<v Speaker 2>really well with a good offensive plans. It was plenty

1177
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:40.199
<v Speaker 2>of in the second half.

1178
00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:43.000
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, you you watch those stretches and there's times

1179
00:52:43.000 --> 00:52:45.239
<v Speaker 3>that you're like, Okay, this is a real deal.

1180
00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but those are just fleeting stretches. Yeah, okay, thanks man,

1181
00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:51.239
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for coming in. Was that it? Yeah, we didn't talk.

1182
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a lot.
