We've always been 85 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.400 wanting a nice, big, huge name as a sponsor and 86 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:40.960 we got it. 87 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:41.240 Yeah. 88 00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:44.759 And then you're like, oh, this is a lot more work. Yeah, 89 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.840 in what sense, In the sense of that brings what 90 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:52.039 Snoop Brock to the table as far as the security 91 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.599 part of it, the details of timing where he needs 92 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.960 to be and all the people involved in that is huge. 93 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.360 So did you guys get the memo on that or something, 94 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.439 just okay, this is what's going to happen from their end, 95 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:07.759 And you said, okay, yes, we have to abide by whatever. Yeah. 96 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:09.879 So that went back and forth quite a few times, 97 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:12.080 and I was on a few zoom meetings. And I 98 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:14.840 won't get into too much detail, but you have to 99 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.439 be on the ball and when you're dealing with professionals 100 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.759 like that, and you understand why he's so successful, right 101 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.199 because he puts people around him that are that good. 102 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:23.879 Right. 103 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.120 So it's not like he hires any slepty off the street. 104 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.279 He's got top notch people running his show for him 105 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.480 and they expect excellence. 106 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:32.079 Yeah. 107 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.040 And it raised our game as a bowl to a 108 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.600 whole other level. And I think that's what's nice about 109 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.480 dealing with somebody like Snoop is he gives you that 110 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.800 level of professionalism, like, oh, I thought we knew what 111 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.639 we were doing, or I knew what we were doing, 112 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:46.959 but now this is a whole other level. 113 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.480 Yeah. So I think he has two more years, right, 114 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.120 and that this will kind of be a helpful And 115 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.480 I always say helpful, hid but helpful for moving on 116 00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.000 even beyond him if he doesn't continue after two years. Yeah. 117 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.959 Absolutely, Yeah, Like I said, it raised everybody's game to 118 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.360 another level to see the kind of professionalism that he brought, 119 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.560 you know, Yeah, Town, it was just it's amazing. Across 120 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.240 the board was well attended to. It was not much 121 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:17.000 better than that Potato Bowl and I do. Yeah, that 122 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.639 was brutal. I didn't see that on like twenty seven people. 123 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.120 It was bad.

I don't know if 129 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.879 you knew about that. Yeah, I heard he had tucked, 130 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.920 but yeah, he got there early and when they walked in, 131 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:39.480 he was there. 132 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:43.279 Yeah.

He had a little surprises like that all 143 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.800 around the corner. And those are the things that you'd 144 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:08.000 think he was just going to come in and show 145 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:09.439 and put his name on it.

That was tooth And two I looked 191 00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.000 him up after you told me show Yeah, and I'm thinking, wow, 192 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:06.680 he got smart and got out of the business, because 193 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.120 I'm sure he doesn't want to be part of this 194 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.120 business anymore. Uh but you know, you know, he does 195 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.160 a pretty good job of and he knows he knows 196 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.439 he does a pretty good job what he does. Uh. 197 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.480 And two he he was kind of like pre pre 198 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.279 Tommy Lloyd. He went after euros to where he he 199 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.560 did that stuff as well. Or he has a history 200 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.480 of going over and knowing who's who in euro in 201 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.879 Europe and every other places beyond. So we'll talk to 202 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.440 him about yeah, absolutely, about that and his time at 203 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.480 New Mexico. Given they played Arizona a time or two, 204 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.279 I'll remind him of a couple of incidents as that 205 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:42.080 I remember. It should be a lot of fun. 206 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:42.600 Uh. 207 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.360 So that'll be a lot of fun. And tonight we 208 00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.320 have a game, right Arizona versus West Virginia. West Virginia. 209 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bruce, was that their last the wind 210 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:58.240 that kicked off their put seven in a row? NINNI 211 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:00.559 now Kansas. Will they be Kansas too long ago? 212 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.039 Last week I think played well, they're not playing with 213 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.080 their star guy, right, is that right? Yeah, Tucker, he 214 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.000 was the guy that torched Arizona. I think he almost 215 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.679 like it, like what every three. 216 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:12.919 Point of. 217 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.000 Yeah? Yeah, and you played back in the day, Andy, 218 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.320 and I remember this. We'd go to we And I 219 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.080 say we because they traveled with the team, yes, uh, 220 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.320 to the games. Uh when you played Washington State or 221 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.559 Oregon State or I'm trying to think of those games 222 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.960 back in the day. No attendance and and some dude 223 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.200 named Joe blow beat the crap out of you because 224 00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.360 no one, no one was there. 225 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.480 To see in Utah was one of them. Yeah, they 226 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.720 just light us up with some kids you never heard of. Right, Yeah, 227 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:46.159 You're like, where did this guy come from? 228 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:47.919 Right? And then you say here, you know, right, number 229 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:49.480 ten in the country and this dude's they just show 230 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.159 up and ten people in the arena and then they 231 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:53.039 come away with a win. 232 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.279 Well, I tell you what, everybody kind of showed up 233 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.399 when Arizona came in time. Yeah, Pullman, Pullman is uh 234 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.720 not a bright town. I mean you know, it's cold, 235 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:08.159 cold and strowing and Oh my goodness. Yeah, but we 236 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.919 showed up and they would throw kids out there that 237 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.480 didn't sometimes they didn't think, like its Arizona. 238 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.080 I don't even know who we're playing it right? Is 239 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:14.919 playing right? 240 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:16.919 That's what you get from those kids West Virginia. Can 241 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.200 he just came out and start playing right. I sat 242 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:22.679 next to a guy at an establishment watching that game. 243 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.200 Oh this this year, yeah it was, and he was 244 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.240 from West Virginia, and he was telling me all about 245 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.600 that kid and his dad who's the coach, And I 246 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.519 mean he was a real At the end of that game, 247 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.080 I knew everybody on the West Virginia. 248 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.799 Yeah, and I'm sure he was pretty happy when he 249 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:35.559 went to overtime. 250 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.360 And yeah, I actually had to end up buying him 251 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.919 a drink or two. Yeah, I think me you might. 252 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.639 Have had a it's a wager or two. Yeah. 253 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:47.080 Well I even left early. Here's ten drink, you can 254 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.960 have it. That's fine to me. It was a surprise. 255 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:51.919 But they're pretty good in ranked twenty one, right, they've 256 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:52.799 got the streak here. 257 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.159 Yeah, and they're at home so big clubs. That's you know, 258 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.399 you hear it the whole time. Now, is you got 259 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.559 a hold court at your own Allison. Yeah, obviously West 260 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.039 Virginia is is doing that. 261 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:04.960 So I think at the beginning of the year, you 262 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.919 think that Arizona, knowing what you knew about both schools 263 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.000 or didn't know that they'd be able Okay, go in, 264 00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:11.399 win and get out. 265 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.960 But that's not the case in the nowadays. And our 266 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:18.600 team has that tendency to give up leads, right, and 267 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.440 which is a surprise tough part to me. 268 00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:20.919 Yeah. 269 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.120 Yeah, And I don't know if Tommy, you know, I 270 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.200 could put a finger on it yet, but if he did, 271 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:29.720 he could squash it. I think it's just some of 272 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:32.440 those teams have that neck have kind of sometimes disappearing 273 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.639 for a minute. Yeah, right, it's just they get kind 274 00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.000 of a lots of days ago and they don't go 275 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.000 back to what they were doing. 276 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:40.799 Yeah, and it's happened. Well, let's remember they beat Houston 277 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.879 beat them not this way. Houston rough them up in 278 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:46.519 the tournament. The next year they played Princeton, right, they 279 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:49.200 were down like ten to twelve, and they came back 280 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.440 and won that game. Last year, Clemson had that big 281 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.320 lead there was on a storm back and didn't have enough. 282 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.519 So it's kind of been varying, but he talks about 283 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.399 this and he used a phrase last year that I 284 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.519 really wish i'd remember, where you try to have enough 285 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.039 wiggle room. You get that lead, and you have enough 286 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:06.879 wiggle room too, just in case there mistakes. 287 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:07.200 All. 288 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.519 He's had two wiggle room games and one bit him. Yeah, 289 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.279 the other one almost bit him. Yeah. 290 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:14.919 No, that was tough to watch that. I don't know 291 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:17.279 if it's uh. I think your team has to win 292 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.799 one of those to get over that hump. I think 293 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.519 they did, and I don't think they'll give up those 294 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.279 leads again like that, But they have to stay focused. 295 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.279 That's the biggest thing, is lack of focus when you 296 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:27.960 get to that point. 297 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.720 So let me ask you this because you were you 298 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:31.320 were on one of the better teams in the history 299 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.440 of Arizona, and you're an observer, I will say, and 300 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.320 you know this bit of me. Yeah, you're an observer. 301 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.120 Of the thirty one games, I think it was I 302 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.279 could be more than that. How many times did you 303 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:43.240 guys not stay focused? 304 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.440 There were very few, but you had a great leader 305 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:51.240 in Damon who wanted to squash people from the beginning 306 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.120 to the end. That I think there's a there's a 307 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.039 guy on every team that does that, and Damon was 308 00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:00.559 that guy and he led it. He wanted to score. 309 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.720 You know, everybody stands before until we the other team 310 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.320 scores at Miguel. He wanted to see how long he 311 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.399 can make people stand and he throws some mathfs. 312 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.360 I want to see how long I could make these 313 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.559 mfors stand? Right, And you're like, whoa. And that was him, 314 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.279 that was the dog in him so well. And he 315 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:21.399 had some good observers too, because Colid was was the dude. 316 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.000 They just kind of give me the ball man. 317 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.080 Yes, and he needed Damon to push them, right, And 318 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:28.200 that was if you had a team of Clid's no, 319 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.279 everyone's like we're up twenty. 320 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.240 Yeah, kind of cruise it. And that's how we played. 321 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.559 But you also have dudes like Griggie who fed off 322 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.600 probably Damon, oh yeah, and you have JB who kind 323 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.320 of maybe fed off a little from JBL from both. 324 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:44.799 All those three guys are mostative guys I've ever met. 325 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.000 Rays Right, he was the same, Right, He was a 326 00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:48.919 quiet dude. He was a quiet mean dude. He was 327 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:49.840 a silent killer. 328 00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:52.480 We call him. Yeah, I don't think you never want 329 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.039 to cross with. 330 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.639 Drake no, no, but he that's you gotta have a 331 00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:57.480 team that's focused. 332 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:58.039 And I don't know. 333 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.600 I'm not close enough to this team him to say 334 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.120 that that's the deal. 335 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.320 But I think the guy that and I said this 336 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.159 when they lost to UCLA in Phoenix. Yeah, uh that 337 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.360 if Caleb is not the guy and you and you 338 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:11.879 think that they're going to live or die with kileb 339 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.080 that Jayden. 340 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.200 Has to be that guy. He's the dude that give 341 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:17.600 me the ball I'm gonna take. And he did last game, right. 342 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.080 He scored that the go ahead game, He goes downhill, 343 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.519 he puts the pressure on the opponents. I think he's 344 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.240 going to probably have to continue to do that the 345 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.200 rest of the way. Right. 346 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.799 It's kJ is good at the end of that last 347 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:30.919 game too, and with two drives to the hoop. But 348 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.879 it's the dumb turnovers, you know, just the lazy passes 349 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.639 up top of the key. 350 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.200 Those kill me. And you're watching and you're like, dude, 351 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.799 you got to be right. The ball is most important. 352 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.399 Keep that thing in your possession. That happened a couple 353 00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:43.600 of times. 354 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.320 Always said if you got the ball, the other team 355 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.759 can't score, right, right, So you need the ball I 356 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.080 want the ball, so keep that ball handy, don't turn it, 357 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.639 don't get sloppy with it, because that's what hurt him.
