Yes, and I was 21 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.159 at that one and then not how old were you, 22 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:13.040 like seventeen eighteen? And it seems like I'm about to graduate. 23 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:16.319 It's been it's been good. It's been good, but not 24 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:17.640 that good. Since then? 25 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.439 No, I think you had one good year with Kate Reese. 26 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:24.599 They made it look like a little bit of a 27 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:25.159 tournament run. 28 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.000 But since then, Yeah, it's a crossworlds. 29 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.200 What do you think that is? What do you think 30 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:31.879 is changed there? 31 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.239 We've talked about culture almost all day, and I think 32 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.200 something somebody switched it, doesn't They don't look like they're 33 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.920 having fun out there most games, you know, they it 34 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.239 takes a wild shot or something to get them going, 35 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.879 and even then they might end up losing by twenty. 36 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.959 Are you are you? You coached for how long? Fifteen years? 37 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.120 So those fifteen are you a fun coach or a 38 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:58.840 good coach or a penning You ask coach, what kind 39 00:01:58.840 --> 00:01:59.079 of coach? 40 00:01:59.159 --> 00:01:59.359 Right? 41 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.920 Do you want to play for? Yeah? This has kind 42 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.200 of some self evaluation there. 43 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.400 So yeah, you hope that your player will run through 44 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.120 a brick wall because you would do it for them, right, 45 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.360 And there looks like there's a there's a sense of disconnect, 46 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.360 disconnect and I'm I mean, I know I don't want 47 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:14.960 to get taken through the drag through the mud. On 48 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.400 this but there looks like yeah, disconnection, dysfunction a little bit. 49 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.319 You've got to create a balance. I think that's where 50 00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.719 you have to understand that you create a fat Dictoby's perfect, 51 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:24.919 you create a family atmosphere. 52 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:25.360 Sure. 53 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.400 Sure, but let's also let's also say this about to 54 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.599 tell me because I covered for three years, it's it's it's 55 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:36.479 Arizona football. It's not I'm using the level here way 56 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.919 high and it's not way low. It's kind of in 57 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.080 the middle. But that's where Arizona football is and it's 58 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.759 not always been. How do you like that spot? I 59 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.039 mean we talked about this time. Yeah, that's where I 60 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.120 want to be. I'm sorry you don't want to be there, Well, 61 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.400 you don't want to be better than there. It's funny 62 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.879 because before you answer that question, a friend of mine 63 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:58.479 who's part of the program here maybe twenty years ago, 64 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.759 he says, we got we got to Brennan, right, and 65 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.199 we got Dick Tomy. They didn't tell us that we 66 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.039 actually got Dic Toby. And now we're gonna be We're 67 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.759 gonna be stuck in this malaise or muddle, you know 68 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.039 what I'm saying, or you'll have a good year maybe 69 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:14.120 and then another bad year. 70 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.439 I mean, is that what you want? I don't listen 71 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:18.280 as a you have a football fan? 72 00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:21.520 Do I want? I want consistencies. We talked about this 73 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:25.840 last time. But you're gonna strive. We're never sorry. I 74 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.479 don't believe that we will be in elite program. You're 75 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:29.599 not going to be in the top four. 76 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:30.479 You're you're not. 77 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.759 But we're looking at now, you're looking at in il 78 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.319 we're not even the top you know whatever. 79 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:37.319 So so both of you guys, because you're grat and 80 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.319 you're gonna be whatever, seven and five and six and 81 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:41.879 six and eight and four is good enough? 82 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.639 Okay, Now this is a question. 83 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.400 So every four years you have a six and six, 84 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:48.879 an eight and five, a seven and three, and then 85 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.280 all of a sudden you win a conference. 86 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.520 Well I'm okay with that. 87 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.240 You're stretching it there because part of that's going to 88 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.800 be seven and four and seven. 89 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:56.960 And yeah, that's true. 90 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.840 Fining just happened, right, So yeah, maybe I'm speaking out 91 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:00.599 to side to my mouth. 92 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.199 So what do you think? I mean. 93 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.120 It just just where I've seen this program, you know 94 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.960 it truly is the seven and five, six and six 95 00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.159 win a conference? 96 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.039 Now? You're two and two and ten. 97 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:22.800 That's been your life. Yeah, you've already become accustomed to it. 98 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:26.560 When when I wrote preseason about what the skin what 99 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.319 the fans should expect, I said, fans should expect to 100 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.920 go to a bowl game because I still think that 101 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:35.399 that team was good enough to make a ball if 102 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.839 they were to get healthy. Sure the ball bounces their 103 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.839 way a couple of times, and that that should be 104 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.759 a stepping stone to what the standards should be. 105 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.040 You haven't been that team since rich Al I left 106 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.240 and then and then he left under his conditions. But uh, 107 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:56.079 the festival a long time ago, ten years ago. Hey, basketball, 108 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:57.759 And I'm sorry to remind you guys, and I did 109 00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:58.480 it to jail time. 110 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.800 He hates me for it. Ninety seven we just talked about. No, 111 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.000 you don't. I mean two thousand and one is the 112 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:04.480 last time we went to the Final four, right, So 113 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.000 I mean you even mentioned blue Blood in the conversation. 114 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.959 Yeah, I mean you're just thinking that that people think 115 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.399 about that when you're thinking about the program. And then 116 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.120 we talked about Miller's legacy. Miller gosked to three Elite eights, right, 117 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.639 I mean, there's a there's a start of a legacy. 118 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.560 Again for us, that puts us back into that blue 119 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.040 blood and I think Tommy's been able to carry that torch. 120 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.720 But March is what matters, right, So for you a 121 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.000 football what matters? Bowl games? Should you be competing for? 122 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.120 My goal is seven and five every year and beating 123 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:35.560 and beating a top twenty five. 124 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:36.720 Teams, so or an issue? 125 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:38.800 Yeah, So if you're seven and five for the next 126 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.560 ten years straight years, what would be that legacy? 127 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.279 I mean that's a great question, Steve. 128 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.920 That's I mean, you know, I mean, what's what's been 129 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.920 in the last ten years before this? Would you take 130 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.040 the previous ten years or would you take the next 131 00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:52.720 ten years knowing you're seven and five you're being a 132 00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:53.639 top twenty five team. 133 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:54.560 Wow, that's going. 134 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.720 But I would side with the looking forward future, right 135 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.480 because you already know the past. 136 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:01.800 We talk about legacy. 137 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.720 That would be ten winning seasons for Brett Brannan out 138 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.680 of out of eleven, right, Yeah, that's pretty dang good 139 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.519 compared to the history of Arizona football coaches. 140 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.680 Yeah, it's very bizarre because this is a good place. 141 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.720 I mean, we've we've seen that it can be done 142 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.759 basketball wise, and a lot of different areas. 143 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.399 It just can't turn the corner for football. What other 144 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:25.800 what other college town or city do you know that's 145 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.519 our size and supports their college the way we do. 146 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:33.199 I mean, yeah, but they're but they're they're they're loaded 147 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.879 in yeah yeah, loaded in this town. 148 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.240 But they have a lot organ sounds not a million 149 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.000 and a half people. Yeah, well, you know that's what 150 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:40.279 I mean. 151 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.639 It's funny because we had Chuck Culpepper here, were you 152 00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.240 here with Chuck? Chuck well, very bright dude, and he 153 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.319 talks about well, it's like listening to the Texas and 154 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.879 lumps who think they've won five national titles or whatever 155 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.959 it is, and they they they're not there. They think 156 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:54.120 they're better than they are and they're not. 157 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.240 But they're Texas football or Indiana basketball, right, the same things. 158 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.000 Where who cares? And that was so long ago that 159 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.959 no one really gets a crap. Yeah, it's funny. 160 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.000 My uh, my cousin, so my mom's side of the 161 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:12.600 family is from Cleveland area, Ohio Akron so uh they're 162 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.079 die hard Ohio State fans, right, and so they lost 163 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.199 to Michigan and again this year and they had a meltdown. 164 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.519 My cousin's telling me it's more important than we beat 165 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.480 Michigan than national championship. I said, you know we're talking 166 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.519 to you're talking to you have a football fans out here, 167 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:27.959 like you have no idea what you're now. You're probably 168 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:30.439 going to end up winning a national championship. Yeah, so 169 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.319 fire your coach, then get back to them. Are you 170 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.360 still upset? You still said about to Yeah, that's what 171 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.839 I mean, That's what I asked him. I said, yeah, 172 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.600 so if you had a crystal ball, which one are 173 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:41.959 you choosing? Well, if they don't win, it is a disappointment. 174 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.879 You get to a national championship game. There's no disappointment. 175 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.720 The game's there. Yeah, right, okay. 176 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.120 And then of course men's basketball beat number twenty five 177 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:53.600 Bailure last night, eighty one to seventy. We've talked about 178 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.759 it for most of the show. Their next trip road 179 00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.199 trip to Lubbock at Texas Tech out of eight at noon, 180 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.639 and then they're still on the road till through Tuesday, 181 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:07.839 where they go to Stillwater, Oklahoma State seven o'clock. 182 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.959 Yeah, that's a normal game. Time o'clock feels good, Cools good. 183 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.240 Uh So, Arizona football got a pick up through the portal. Actually, 184 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.240 I guess so you call it a rebound from the 185 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.759 portal and defensive lineman Tia Savella coming back from Texas. 186 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.000 Right, he was here for a couple of years, left 187 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.879 to Texas. This is the perfect example. Is the shinier 188 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.759 shining Your penny is is not always as shiny as 189 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:33.559 you think it is. It's still a penny. Grass is 190 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.360 never always greener. Sometimes, yeah, she's a pretty girl. Maybe 191 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.080 I'll drop my girl and then go friend, And it's 192 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.679 really the pain. I better come back. 193 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:41.840 That was also a terrible sentence. I said, I never 194 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.360 and then sometimes and it should never go in the 195 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:43.799 same second. 196 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:44.200 Yea, yea. 197 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.279 The Phoenix Suns played last night. They faced the Hawks 198 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.360 in Atlanta. They did lose one, one seventeen. 199 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.799 If you want to talk about a city and whatever 200 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.600 that desperately needs success, it's Phoenix. Yeah, because the Suns 201 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.919 have been whatever for years. The Cardinals got to a 202 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:05.879 Super Bowl maybe twelve years ago, whatever years ago, and 203 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.039 who the Sons and then the Baseball Diamondbacks gave him 204 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.440 the title in two thousand and one, and it was 205 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:12.159 the you know. 206 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.080 What I'm saying, It's just been kind of like the 207 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.200 step child. Yeah, but the Diamondbacks are two years from 208 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.399 going to the World Series. Yeah, but they didn't win. 209 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.519 They didn't win close. Yeah, you're right, you're right. 210 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.080 I mean we can point out other cities in the country, 211 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:28.679 like Detroit two that are in that same boat. 212 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.320 Yeah. Uh. 213 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.519 And so with that loss, they went out and got 214 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:34.919 some help or try to get trying. They're gonna try 215 00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.519 and get some help. The Sons acquired Nick Richards from 216 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.080 the Hornets. They're gonna trade Joshua Kogie and three second 217 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:41.720 round picks. 218 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.720 And you're talking Spanish to me, I have no ideayeah, 219 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.519 but again you're talking about their big three. 220 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:48.159 You make that trade to get Beasley in there, and 221 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.159 now that Beasley's not even starting. So it's it's just 222 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.559 they gave up so much and they have no depth. 223 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.159 You're you're writing that same boat. 224 00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:57.639 And they've been doing that since they went to the finals. Yea, 225 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.480 three four years whatever years ago. That another another four years. Yeah, 226 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.679 it's been it feels like forever. 227 00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:08.279 Jimmy Butler reiterated to pat Riley that he is demanding 228 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.759 a trade. So maybe that's something to look out for 229 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:12.679 for the you've been married. 230 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:16.559 Divorced, I've never been divorced, okay, which I've been. 231 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.080 Married three times, but never divorced. Just don't tell anybody. Okay, 232 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.000 we've talked about that. 233 00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:22.159 It's like a it' said with a group of guys 234 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:25.559 that was with this week playing talking about well we're 235 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.799 going to counseling, blah blah blah. Once you go to 236 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.320 calsor that's over, Baby's I've never known anybody to have 237 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.039 something solved that way. They said, you know what, maybe 238 00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.440 it opens our eyes to say you say it's over 239 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:38.360 like a black idea. 240 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.399 You just say you don't. We've reached the point of 241 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:44.840 no return, you know what I'm saying. It's Jimmy Butler. 242 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.240 Once, how many times can you say I want out? Yeah, 243 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:48.440 I just went out, give me out? 244 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:49.200 Yeah I will. 245 00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.320 I will point to a very specific instance. The only 246 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.919 time that I've seen that work is what it's like. 247 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.600 Please tell me the Lakers piece of it with Kobe 248 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.679 and no Phil when after that first sure they couldn't 249 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.679 stand each other, and then Phil came back afterwards, and 250 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.039 then they ended up mending that bridge, so they realized 251 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:07.600 that they need realized each other. 252 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.440 Yeah, I'm gonna try to speed run through some of 253 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.559 these because we're running out of time. The NBA has 254 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:16.080 rescheduled nine games in due to the result of the 255 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:21.000 wildfires and some of the ice storms.

As nearby high 259 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.120 school by the University of Michigan, twenty four vehicles were 260 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.600 broken into. The Chargers head coach Jim Harbug is going 261 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.879 to have a cardiac ablation and hip replacement surgery over 262 00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.480 the off season. 263 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:43.080 We'll see what happens with that. 264 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.399 If anything does happen with that, wide received Deontae Johnson 265 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.480 was waived by the Houston Texans and immediately picked up 266 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:58.399 by the Baltimore Ravens this morning and go ahead some 267 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:02.720 Texas as.
