<v Speaker 3>for the intro music today, but starting breaking news off

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 3>with some stuff for the baseball fans out there. Yankees

11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 3>right hander Garrett Cole will undergo Tommy John surgery. The

12
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 3>team just announced about maybe an hour ago, ending his

13
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 3>season before it even got started. Yeah, Okay, Into some

14
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Arizona athletics. The women's tennis team lost last Friday to

15
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.359
<v Speaker 3>Iowa State, but rebounded with a win Sunday against Kansas

16
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 3>four to two. They are now eleven and five on

17
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 3>the season. The men's team, who is fourteen and one,

18
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 3>beat NAU on Friday four zero and then beat Toulsa

19
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 3>yesterday five to two. The women's team for softball twenty

20
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 3>three and four on the season, did lose back to

21
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.519
<v Speaker 3>back games to start their UCF series three to nine

22
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 3>and then four to five, but finished it with a

23
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 3>ten to one run rule on Sunday. And today they

24
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 3>beat Utah State eight zero and six innings. They are, Yeah,

25
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 3>they are twenty three and four. Kind of surprising that

26
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.560
<v Speaker 3>first those first two games against UCF the way they

27
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 3>had been looking. And I use the word just because

28
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't have any other word for it, but momentum

29
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.680
<v Speaker 3>they were there. They're having a great season. They are

30
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.840
<v Speaker 3>having a great season, but a little bit of surprise

31
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 3>with UCF those first two. Then they were making a

32
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 3>lot of mistakes that they usually don't. The baseball team

33
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>got a series sweep over the weekend against Pepperdine, including

34
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 3>a twenty one to two win on Saturday, came back

35
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 3>down three zero to win five to three.

36
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday at High Court bit yep.

37
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 3>The women's basketball team played their first game in the

38
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Big Twelve Tournament against number this ninth seed Colorado.

39
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 2>They lost fifty eight sixty one.

40
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:39.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, maybe maybe a little bit of a shocker, maybe not. Yeah,

41
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 3>it's we'll see what happens. We'll see yeah, dot dot Yeah.

42
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.879
<v Speaker 3>And then as we talked about, Arizona lost on the

43
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 3>road Saturday at Kansas seventy six to eighty three. Right

44
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 3>today they announced some of the Big Twelve honors. Caleb

45
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 3>Love earned the first team a Big Twelve honor, Tobeyo

46
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Walka and Henry Vassar got honorable mention.

47
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>I didn't pay attention to the rest of the group

48
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>because they just pushed. Caleb was the only guy listed,

49
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 2>although two guys were on honorable mention. You'll say Henry

50
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>and Toby, Toby, nobody else, right, and they finished third

51
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>in the league. That feels a little slighted, maybe, but

52
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 2>here's a game to my naive. But I didn't really

53
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>pay a whole lot of attention to the other teams

54
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>because other teams have good players too, right, and people say, well,

55
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>our guys, well, you guys weren't good enough.

56
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Doesn't make sense statistically, And that's what some of these

57
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 3>voters and the people that do this they look at, right, Statistically,

58
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Caleb Love.

59
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Kind of they're kind of not.

60
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Basar, I'm surprised wasn't even a second team.

61
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>But here's the here's the funny thing to me, do

62
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 2>you think Caleb would have been first team? Let's say

63
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 2>they went ten deep on the first team, which of

64
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>course that's not really your first team. That's you know,

65
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>two teams plushed together. Do you think it's capable of

66
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 2>being the first team if it was only five? No? No,

67
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>not even close. Right No. When he said he was

68
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the first team, I said, I had to look at

69
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>the list. Oh, I get it. There's ten people, one A,

70
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 2>one B.

71
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:08.639
<v Speaker 3>He's uh I A would say one B yeah, right,

72
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>and one B spot number ten?

73
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 2>And he and he had a How would you describe

74
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>a scale of one to ten?

75
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Why would you rate this season on its own? I'd

76
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:20.519
<v Speaker 3>give it a seven.

77
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 2>I would say maybe seven and a half seven, But

78
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm right with you, okay? And he had a seven?

79
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>And they finished what they finished, right, Yeah, third in

80
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the conference in a tough conference, especially the way that

81
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>season the season started, right, he had a huge impact, right,

82
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>good and bad? So more power to him. He did

83
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 2>he did? Okay? Is he is he great?

84
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 4>No?

85
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Is he bad?

86
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 5>No?

87
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 2>But he's a seven last year he was like a

88
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>nine in the PAC twelve and the PAC twelve? Right,

89
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>same player, same player.

90
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.680
<v Speaker 3>It's it's saying like a Tucson seven is in New

91
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 3>York three?

92
00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Right? Yes?

93
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 3>Yes, But regardless, a lot of people go off of

94
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 3>last season. Yeah, pac twelve point of the year, but

95
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 3>this is in the past twelve. Welcome to the Big twelve.

96
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 3>And then of course the new Top twenty five came out,

97
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Arizona fell out.

98
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 2>Accordingly, they were still in the top twenty five at

99
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 2>the USA Today Bowl. I don't even pay attention to

100
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that poll because no one really does. But I guess

101
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>for twenty four five, I'm thinking, okay, but you know

102
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 2>who votes with those coaches? Yes, I D'Sa the coach

103
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 2>is too busy to vote.

104
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, BYU sits at seventeen. So likeing, just looking

105
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 3>at some of the Big twelve teams Iowa State at

106
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 3>number twelve, Texas take at number nine, and UH Houston

107
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 3>at number two.

108
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.959
<v Speaker 2>We knew this was gonna be a tough conference right

109
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of the year. Was like four or

110
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.519
<v Speaker 2>five in the top twelve. There was only included that

111
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>you had to play the games now, and there was

112
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>only better than BYU. Maybe maybe that depends on the day,

113
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>and they're what ten twelve?

114
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 3>Would I BYUS number seventeen? Seventeen? Okay, So Arizona, Arizona's

115
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.360
<v Speaker 3>good enough. They just aren't there.

116
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean right now, But we talked about the net,

117
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.040
<v Speaker 2>which is kind of more weight. They're fine, Yeah, they're fine.

118
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 3>We'll see what happens over this week with the Big

119
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 3>twelve tournament. They'll they'll take on the winner the first

120
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 3>in the first round of Baylor and Baylor in Kansas,

121
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 3>the winner of the state Kansas state, right, and then

122
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>they'll take on whoever wins that game, the winner between

123
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.560
<v Speaker 3>that team and Kansas more than likely looking at another

124
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Kansas rematch.

125
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, who's who's that root? Because that's a four?

126
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Right?

127
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Is that a four? The one below? Yes?

128
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 3>I think it might because I don't have the thing. Yeah,

129
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 3>because it's one.

130
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 2>It's one, three, four, three, four, right, one plays the four,

131
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 2>one would play the four, and the two would play

132
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>the three.

133
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

134
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.399
<v Speaker 3>I'll try to look it up right now. But you're

135
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 3>gonna look at more tough games raper for the tournament.

136
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 3>Who rest, guess what the rest of the way. The

137
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>rest of the way, they're playing tournament teams. Yep, this

138
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 3>will determine how good you're gonna be when you play

139
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 3>tournament teams. I was seeing some and you know, you

140
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.000
<v Speaker 3>went off or whatever. The teams that were qualifying for

141
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 3>the tournament those are pretty good teams that are hitting

142
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 3>threes like crazy. And what's one of Arizona's achilles heels.

143
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Three point defense? Three point defense.

144
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.680
<v Speaker 3>So a, it goes the number four seed, number one,

145
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>number two, number three, so you're possibly looking at another

146
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.319
<v Speaker 3>Kansas rematch.

147
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 2>It's UCF and Utah.

148
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Yeah, that winner plays Kansas, and that winner between

149
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.800
<v Speaker 3>those two plays Arizona.

150
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay if they if Arizona, Kansas State or whomever.

151
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.399
<v Speaker 3>Right, So, so U c F Utah play, they play

152
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 3>the win they they whoever wins that game goes on

153
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 3>to play Kansas. Yeah, and then that that winner plays

154
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.959
<v Speaker 3>Arizona more than likely looking at another Kansas rematch and

155
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 3>then possibly looking at a Texas Tech rematch.

156
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>And they split the regular season series.

157
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.079
<v Speaker 3>So uh probably probably looking at the season series when

158
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.040
<v Speaker 3>if you want to call it that.

159
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So let me ask you, Uh, if they played

160
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Kansas in Kansas City, is that a neutral court? Absolutely not?

161
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>You don't think so. Uh So when Arizona plays in

162
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the in Vegas is that a neutral court? Absolutely not?

163
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Because of the crowd yep, but that's the I'm trying

164
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to court that crowd. And you've witnessed this thousands of

165
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>times when Arizona plays an Anaheim plays in Anaheim. Is

166
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 2>it a neutral court?

167
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 3>I that one. I do think so it's a neutral court.

168
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 3>I would think so. Using your just you're launching my

169
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 3>my experiences because Arizona has been to Anaheim in the

170
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.320
<v Speaker 3>tournament three times in my in what I've seen and

171
00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 3>right right, not not not as it used to be.

172
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 3>It's gotten to be a neutral court and that maybe

173
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.519
<v Speaker 3>that's because more teams travel, but it's not. It wasn't

174
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 3>that uh Nick Johnson year when they were in there

175
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 3>and what eighty percent of the crowd was Arizona.

176
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.159
<v Speaker 2>See, you're telling more crowd I'm tighting in court because

177
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it hasn't been successful to them. No, in a long time,

178
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 2>if ever, if I can remember correctly, and all the

179
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>fans always want Anaheim.

180
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's stupid because they don't do well at

181
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.120
<v Speaker 3>this point, it doesn't matter. Just you should be able

182
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 3>to go and win a sweet sixteen lead eight game,

183
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 3>regardless if you're a blue blood, right, if you're exactly,

184
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 3>if you're you're taking notes, I'd like it.

185
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I try. I try to be good at what I do.

186
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:36.159
<v Speaker 3>Continuing breaking news, Stephen Curry accepted an assistant GM role

187
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 3>for Davidson Basketball.

188
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, I believe.

189
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 3>He's the first active US major professional sport to take

190
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 3>on an administrative job.

191
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.639
<v Speaker 2>How is he gonna do it when he's I couldn't

192
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:51.039
<v Speaker 2>tell you. I didn't tell you.

193
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:57.120
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's a it's a virtual job. Maybe maybe maybe

194
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 3>when he's in the off season it becomes an in person.

195
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Well I'm not sure. I'm not I'm truly not sure.

196
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 3>I was surprised when I saw it. Maybe he's just

197
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 3>setting himself up for post NBAC. He needs the money,

198
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.600
<v Speaker 3>who put everyone? Who better to do it?

199
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Right?

200
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 4>Is that?

201
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Shawn Elliott come in and says, yeah, I'll be your GM.

202
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Do we have one? Though? It's does every want to

203
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>have one? Yeah?

204
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 3>I think you do. Name He's not He's not a

205
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Stephen Curry. No, they are not. It's like Richard Jefferson

206
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 3>doing it or somebody.

207
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

208
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh So the Rockets star Amen Thompson is gonna be

209
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.159
<v Speaker 3>out ten to fourteen days. We'll see how much that

210
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 3>impacts them. They're a top team in the Western Conference.

211
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Another top team, another top two team. Uh The Lakers

212
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Lebron James expected to miss one to two weeks with

213
00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:45.840
<v Speaker 3>a groin injury similar to one he had a couple

214
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 3>of years ago, but they said that it wasn't as bad.

215
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 2>He didn't hear a pop this time. He did not.

216
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 2>He did not.

217
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 3>And then, of course today a little bit of free

218
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.159
<v Speaker 3>agency havoc in the NFL.

219
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Just going over some of the highlights.

220
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Sam Darnold going to the Seahawks and three year, one

221
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 3>hundred and point five million deal. Yeah, I'm not sure

222
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 3>if that's a step up step down. We'll see what happens.

223
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Yah Cooper Cup is going to be released by the

224
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Rams if no trade happens by the beginning of the

225
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 3>next league year.

226
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>He'll find some place, no question right, who is the

227
00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 2>best fit.

228
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 3>Someone should be able to trade for him or pick

229
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.559
<v Speaker 3>him up, depending on when stuff happens. The Jets reached

230
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 3>a two year for forty million dollar deal with Justin Fields.

231
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 2>That shows you they are cursed. It's like in a

232
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>player to be named later or something. Because what he

233
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't even start at Pittsburgh.

234
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 3>He started for the first four or five games and

235
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 3>then they said, oh, our real starter is ready to go,

236
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 3>and the Steelers were five and oh, I believe they

237
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 3>doesn't make any sense. But it's not my money, not

238
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 3>my money, not my problems, not my team. The Eagles

239
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 3>are trading former first round pick can He Pickett to

240
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 3>the Cleveland Browns for twenty twenty five fifth round pick

241
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 3>and quarterback Dorian Thompson. Robinson's former UCLA Who's who's you

242
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 3>with the Eagles? He was He was fantastic, I mean

243
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.720
<v Speaker 3>college specifically.

244
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he was.

245
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.000
<v Speaker 2>He was a hometown kid. Yeah.

246
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 3>We went to Pittsburgh drafted by the Steelers. That didn't

247
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:26.840
<v Speaker 3>work out for reasons, and now he's in Cleveland. The

248
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Commanders are going to be trading for Texans offensive tackle

249
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Laramie Tunsel. The Houston will get a third and seventh

250
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 3>rounders in twenty twenty five, second of fourth rounders in

251
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty six. The Cardinals got a boost in their

252
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 3>pass rush by a Green to sign ex Eagle Josh Schwet,

253
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.039
<v Speaker 3>a pretty big part of that Super Bowl winning team,

254
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 3>so the Cardinals are looking to upgrade uh And then

255
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 3>the Broncos agreed with Telenoah hufunga former forty nine er,

256
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.240
<v Speaker 3>on a three year, forty five million dollar deal, twenty

257
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 3>million guaranteed at signing. Okay, is it that's all I

258
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 3>got on a Monday Mannic Monday.

259
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we're gonna get Tavia Morales from All Sports shutuan

260
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 2>dot com. He's he was doing some of the stuff

261
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 2>on the internet too, with the fans and defending Tommy.

262
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's not that I'm defending Tommy. I'm just trying

263
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to be realistic. But what I see and what I know,

264
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I go to the games. You go to the games,

265
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>and there's a lot of people posting who don't go

266
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 2>to the games? No one who's a friend of mine

267
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 2>was posting. I don't know if he listens. He said

268
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>that there's a reason why he ever wont to travels Well,

269
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 2>they don't travel well. They don't travel well. They really

270
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.279
<v Speaker 2>never have. They just have they do for final fours.

271
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Who doesn't travel well for final four? Exactly? Who does?

272
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Sweet sixteen was kind of spars last year. I can't

273
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:48.360
<v Speaker 2>remember where do we go? Boise? So last year? Yeah,

274
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 2>and I mean that wasn't that great. And they lose

275
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>in the first round because everybody was waiting for Friday

276
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 2>for the lead a game right there.

277
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:59.080
<v Speaker 3>And they were saying, who's Clemson. Yeah, but people know

278
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.480
<v Speaker 3>knew Clemson, so they don't travel, and they have to

279
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Arizona's benefit. They have a lot of the lums in places,

280
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 3>especially in the West coast when they went to Oregon

281
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 3>or or you know, Ucla that's now not so much

282
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.759
<v Speaker 3>in the Midwest, but they don't travel.

283
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, how do I know. I went to those games,

284
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 2>so I saw, but they had a lot of people

285
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>there from that area.

286
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.559
<v Speaker 3>I think, between you and me, what Tommy said is

287
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.840
<v Speaker 3>what we've been saying for a couple of months now,

288
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.879
<v Speaker 3>and ever since I joined the show, we've been saying that.

289
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.759
<v Speaker 2>For me, it was kind of a surprise in as

290
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 2>much as it's like he's been saying this and now

291
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:38.639
<v Speaker 2>you're just listening. It's all of a sudden it took.

292
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.240
<v Speaker 3>I took a loss at Kansas, a team you thought

293
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.480
<v Speaker 3>you should have beat. But realistically, I'm speaking as a fan.

294
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah they're a great team. They were a top twenty

295
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.399
<v Speaker 3>five team. Yeah they ran to the Big twelve. Who

296
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 3>about who you? Yeah, yeah, they ran to the Big twelve.

297
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 3>And now everyone's kind of questioning, what is Arizona basketball?

298
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, the thing you kind of listen to the people

299
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 2>who know, and you don't listen to the people who

300
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:06.759
<v Speaker 2>don't know. It's like you know I have two kids.

301
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.360

<v Speaker 10>Hey?

422
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Uh, let's go. Let's go with just updating us on

423
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the championship years of just the recent spring sports for

424
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:16.839
<v Speaker 2>high school stuff. And then I want to get into

425
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 2>it with you because you've been following this stuff about

426
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:21.920
<v Speaker 2>UA fans and things like that. You two were a

427
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:24.400
<v Speaker 2>homegrown guy into a lot of the games. You know,

428
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:26.640
<v Speaker 2>you and I traveled a few a couple of years

429
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.319
<v Speaker 2>covering the basketball program. Just I don't know if you're

430
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.000
<v Speaker 2>going to set the record straight, but at least you

431
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.759
<v Speaker 2>get some insight home and away, right, So let's go

432
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 2>locally first, And what did you see the spring?

433
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, Cell Point boys and girls when they're

434
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.720
<v Speaker 4>there are soccer championships and their conference for a they

435
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.200
<v Speaker 4>both lost in the Open Division. But the good thing

436
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 4>about the open Division is if you lose in the

437
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 4>first two rounds, you get you get to go down

438
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 4>your conference. And they've dominated in the in those two brackets.

439
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.640
<v Speaker 4>And Cliff Gang Weber, as I heard your interview with

440
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 4>him and Kelly Pearce also doesn't get any better than

441
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 4>that really in Southern Arizona coaching in any sport. And

442
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 4>so you know, you wish said the Wolfgang couldn't coach

443
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.920
<v Speaker 4>for another let's say, like five years or so, but

444
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.400
<v Speaker 4>I he mentioned me after that. In reality, it's probably

445
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.519
<v Speaker 4>gonna be a year or two, and that's going to

446
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:24.319
<v Speaker 4>be a big difference because he's been there for forty

447
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.839
<v Speaker 4>three years I think forty two or forty three years.

448
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.079
<v Speaker 4>So he's just a living legend and it was an

449
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.240
<v Speaker 4>honor to be there and covering the game and being

450
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.200
<v Speaker 4>there around the players with him. Who are you know what,

451
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.559
<v Speaker 4>they're about sixty years younger than he is, right, So

452
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 4>it's that that was the delight. And then bush Ridge

453
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.319
<v Speaker 4>came out of nowhere. They were six and this is

454
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.519
<v Speaker 4>some talking about the basketball team, the boys basketball team.

455
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.319
<v Speaker 4>They won the three A championship. They were six and

456
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.200
<v Speaker 4>ten in lost eight out of nine games, and then

457
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.160
<v Speaker 4>they went on to win thirteen or fourteen games and

458
00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.039
<v Speaker 4>ran through the pre A tournament. That that's unheard of,

459
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, that would be like somebody that's low seed

460
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 4>in the the Big twelve tournament going all the way

461
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:14.440
<v Speaker 4>and then winning the FACA championship. Did yeah close? Yeah?

462
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

463
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.880
<v Speaker 4>So I mean that's six and ten los eight a

464
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:20.319
<v Speaker 4>nine that they're actually that. The last loss they had

465
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:22.839
<v Speaker 4>and that's that string was that against Paul Verdy at

466
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.480
<v Speaker 4>home and they ended up winning thirteen or fourteen. They

467
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 4>beat Paul Everty by twenty points in the championship game.

468
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.559
<v Speaker 4>So Steve Slida, that's another interesting thing about that is

469
00:23:32.640 --> 00:23:34.799
<v Speaker 4>the second year as the head coach. Overall, he was

470
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.480
<v Speaker 4>an assistant at a Jesuit school in Aurora, Colorado for

471
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.920
<v Speaker 4>like fifteen years. His wife retired from teaching, so they

472
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:44.440
<v Speaker 4>wanted to go to a warmer climate and wound up

473
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:48.000
<v Speaker 4>in Tucson. He became Pusher's JV coach three years ago

474
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.480
<v Speaker 4>and then the ad there hired hired him to be

475
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.599
<v Speaker 4>the head coach last year, and then they won the

476
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:58.880
<v Speaker 4>championship this year. So that's kind of it's a storybook

477
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 4>and you know, it's it's crazy. That's that's just something

478
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.920
<v Speaker 4>that doesn't happen. Ye, that's what happened during the during

479
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:09.440
<v Speaker 4>the winter, the winter sports.

480
00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:10.359
<v Speaker 2>That's the highlight of it.

481
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:13.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, of course the wrestling with Sunnyside Boys and

482
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:18.240
<v Speaker 4>girls winning the championships Sunnyside thirty eight chanponships. Now the

483
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.319
<v Speaker 4>boys and the girls won their first and they're probably there.

484
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:24.400
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna applyvate run. Also just because of their they

485
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:27.279
<v Speaker 4>they all train together. They're in the same room. Uh,

486
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 4>the coaching staffs are. They don't train to get each other.

487
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.240
<v Speaker 4>They trained together, you know, and they they had their

488
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:36.160
<v Speaker 4>own spots in the room, but their coaches all work

489
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:37.359
<v Speaker 4>together on each.

490
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Team, you know what I mean.

491
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 4>So it's like one big, one big family there. And

492
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:44.279
<v Speaker 4>what this is about the girls, they didn't win an

493
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.759
<v Speaker 4>individual championship they went, but they won the state championship

494
00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 4>because each girl plays high enough in each of the brackets,

495
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:53.960
<v Speaker 4>so uh, you know, and then see im sorry Mountain

496
00:24:54.319 --> 00:25:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Mike and Mountain won their first championship girls wrestling first time.

497
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:02.240
<v Speaker 4>When they want a championship.

498
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:03.799
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna ask you something when you're talking about

499
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the boys. Yeah, yeah, the boys wrestling at Sunnyside, what

500
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:11.839
<v Speaker 2>a well, I don't even know how to ask it.

501
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just the success. I mean, can anything stop that success?

502
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Because if you've established this for so many years decades now,

503
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.240
<v Speaker 2>it seems like, you know, they have to implode or something.

504
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's been forty years around there may even longer

505
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:32.359
<v Speaker 4>than that, like towards the seventies that they've had a

506
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.400
<v Speaker 4>good program there. And I think it's just the it's

507
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 4>a way of life, you know, it's it's it's what

508
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.160
<v Speaker 4>they do, it's what it's what they bring a lot

509
00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:42.200
<v Speaker 4>of young to say, start young. A lot of kids

510
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.759
<v Speaker 4>in that wrestling club are like third or fourth grade.

511
00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:50.160
<v Speaker 4>They start them young. And in his families, you know,

512
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 4>there's there's relatives of old times state championship russers who

513
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 4>are now wrestling you know, nephews, the nephews and now

514
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.839
<v Speaker 4>nieces cousins. It's just like a big family and it's

515
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 4>wrestling as a way of life there. That's that's it's

516
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 4>going to be hard to crack for any team in

517
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.279
<v Speaker 4>the States really to to break up that job juggernaut.

518
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:16.039
<v Speaker 4>I don't see how it could happen because it's it's

519
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:20.000
<v Speaker 4>it's in place, the systems are in place there and

520
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 4>it's not going to go anywhere.

521
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well nice, good for them, So a lot of

522
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:25.680
<v Speaker 2>success in southern Arizona.

523
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.240
<v Speaker 14>Uh.

524
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 2>It was good to probably talk to the euro Push

525
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Ridge guy sometime this week just because obviously these champions

526
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:35.559
<v Speaker 2>deserve all the recognition they get. Let's let's move. Let's

527
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.279
<v Speaker 2>move to u A basketball. You covered the team in

528
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>the late nineties with me at the start when I

529
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:44.039
<v Speaker 2>was at the sistant obviously, Uh. And you've seen teams

530
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 2>come and go, obviously on the road here and there.

531
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:48.640
<v Speaker 2>But I think over the weekend you were kind of

532
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:51.480
<v Speaker 2>speaking of your mind to people who were really down

533
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>on Tommy's thoughts.

534
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 4>I think, well, Tommy Lloyd's a competitor. I think you've

535
00:26:58.720 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 4>seen in post post in conferences, press conferences. Is here

536
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.200
<v Speaker 4>more than more than any other time. He's kind of

537
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:08.440
<v Speaker 4>let it his his emotions show, because I think he

538
00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 4>knows he can get more out of his team and

539
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.240
<v Speaker 4>he just hasn't seen it yet. And I think he

540
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:13.559
<v Speaker 4>can get a lot, he can get more out of

541
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 4>the fans than he hasn't seen yet. And I think

542
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 4>that he just has that mentality. He has a useful

543
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 4>demeanor about him. He's gonna speak his mind, especially after

544
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:24.279
<v Speaker 4>going to Kansas and seeing what the atmosphere is like there.

545
00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:27.440
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I don't think he not once he

546
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 4>said that Tarizona's fan base is not not good or

547
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 4>not supportive. I think he said the opposite, that they

548
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.480
<v Speaker 4>had been great, but they have work to do to

549
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:38.599
<v Speaker 4>kind of match what they what they've seen at Iowa

550
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.440
<v Speaker 4>State and Kansas and Texas Tech. And I don't think

551
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 4>there's anything wrong with saying that. And it doesn't really

552
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.119
<v Speaker 4>matter when he says it. Really he's just he's he's

553
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.559
<v Speaker 4>a he's a competitor, he's you know, as a fan,

554
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.440
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't want my coach to think that way, to

555
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 4>want to get better at any possible instance with with

556
00:27:57.920 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 4>the program, and I think that's he was just letting

557
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.279
<v Speaker 4>his opinion come out at the time where they just

558
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:08.039
<v Speaker 4>played Kansas. There was a senior dat night and they

559
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:12.559
<v Speaker 4>had people speaking, you know, and I the only the

560
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:14.559
<v Speaker 4>only accepts that I would make for some of the

561
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 4>fans have been critical is they say that there's the

562
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.960
<v Speaker 4>nine o'clock game, it's late. They have they have worked

563
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:19.440
<v Speaker 4>the next day.

564
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I get that.

565
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:25.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think per se Tommy was like targeting fans

566
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:28.000
<v Speaker 4>that didn't stick around after the senior or after the

567
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 4>game for Senior night. I don't think he was specifically

568
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.160
<v Speaker 4>doing that. He might have might have come across. It

569
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.960
<v Speaker 4>was just in general about the fan involvement. You know,

570
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 4>people forget that Ludelson and Sean Ludelson and Sean Miller

571
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.240
<v Speaker 4>didn't have to never had this save things that Tommy

572
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:47.559
<v Speaker 4>Bloyd said about the crowd because Arizona was the best

573
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.319
<v Speaker 4>in the Pac twelve.

574
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well it was. It wasn't at the end of

575
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Seawn's time because they started to That's when it started,

576
00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:56.599
<v Speaker 2>when they started winning enough and blah blah blah. I'd

577
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 2>see Twelvey twelve and a half and maybe less and

578
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:01.279
<v Speaker 2>you can kind of see it in they were advertising

579
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the ticket stand and uh, it's kind of continued. It's

580
00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:09.799
<v Speaker 2>got a little better obviously, but it's still there, right.

581
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.359
<v Speaker 4>I mean in our time when we were when I

582
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.759
<v Speaker 4>was covering the team with when You're when you're when

583
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.119
<v Speaker 4>you were when we were both covering the team. Obviously

584
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Speaker 4>Stanford had Maple Pavilion.

585
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:19.319
<v Speaker 2>That was the time.

586
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Fantastics really good, fantastic, Matt Cort was really good, harmon arena,

587
00:29:24.680 --> 00:29:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Army Jim was was really good. But those things came

588
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:32.200
<v Speaker 4>and went. Mchel's always been good, so loot And and

589
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:34.359
<v Speaker 4>Sean for the most part, have not had to say, hey,

590
00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, we need our fans need to have work

591
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 4>to do to do this or that, you know what

592
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean. Tommy sees these other programs in the Big

593
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:46.519
<v Speaker 4>twelve now where they have been involvement. I was looking

594
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.240
<v Speaker 4>at listen to your summ your show earlier. It doesn't

595
00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.039
<v Speaker 4>matter who they're playing. It could be Morehead State, Murray State.

596
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:54.480
<v Speaker 4>The fans are the same for those games as they

597
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.720
<v Speaker 4>says they are for any team that comes in there

598
00:29:56.960 --> 00:29:59.359
<v Speaker 4>to their to their arena. That's not the case that

599
00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.920
<v Speaker 4>areason it and I think can it happen? I don't

600
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.519
<v Speaker 4>Maybe maybe not, but Tommy wants to try as much

601
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 4>to see if it can approach that level. And I

602
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 4>know there's some people at the U of A or

603
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.319
<v Speaker 4>trying to get ideas and put things in place where

604
00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.640
<v Speaker 4>maybe they can they can, you know, make it more

605
00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:22.039
<v Speaker 4>of an atmosphere that Tommy Boyd wants. Yeah, but what's

606
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.039
<v Speaker 4>what's I don't I don't understand the fan outrage. He's

607
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:29.599
<v Speaker 4>just expressing himself that he wants Michael's crowd to be

608
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.039
<v Speaker 4>on the same part with some of the big twelve crowds,

609
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:33.359
<v Speaker 4>and I don't see.

610
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Anything wrong with that too. He took a shot, he

611
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:36.880
<v Speaker 2>took a shot at them, and they were one. They

612
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:38.680
<v Speaker 2>weren't ready, which of course they should have been, because

613
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:41.559
<v Speaker 2>he said that before. He said this three times before.

614
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I got a text from one of my friends,

615
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.000
<v Speaker 2>the same guy text me about this. He started in

616
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the Red Blue game when he first got here, and

617
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:51.359
<v Speaker 2>this year it just it is what it is because

618
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:52.279
<v Speaker 2>he's telling you the truth.

619
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:52.960
<v Speaker 3>He just is.

620
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:56.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he has to waive the crowd to stand up

621
00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.079
<v Speaker 4>during a game. Yeah, I mean, if the head coach

622
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:00.160
<v Speaker 4>has to do that, then there's something going on that

623
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:04.839
<v Speaker 4>he's he's he's wanting more, he's expecting more, and you know,

624
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 4>Luke lou I remember when Luke started out, he said,

625
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:10.240
<v Speaker 4>you guys better get your season tickets now because there

626
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.680
<v Speaker 4>will be a hard ticket to sell if there was

627
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.680
<v Speaker 4>social media back then. When he said that, I guarantee

628
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:20.279
<v Speaker 4>you that if I'd be some fans like when you know,

629
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 4>you show us like prove prove it to us. You

630
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:26.880
<v Speaker 4>know you probably hear read some comments and social media

631
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:29.160
<v Speaker 4>back but there was no social media back then. There

632
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 4>is now, and people at the touch of their fingers

633
00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:34.519
<v Speaker 4>or at the keyboard can sell whatever they want. And

634
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.039
<v Speaker 4>it comes out that all these people are upset with

635
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.359
<v Speaker 4>him for saying that, and he I mean, I don't

636
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.319
<v Speaker 4>I don't fall through for saying it. And it doesn't

637
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.319
<v Speaker 4>really matter when he said that, it's it's what he thinks,

638
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:47.559
<v Speaker 4>and the fans are going to be there for Arizona.

639
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 4>It's not it's not like Arizona's in a bad situation

640
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 4>with Michael Center. It's no matter of fact, it's the opposite.

641
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 4>It's one of the top three for arenas in the

642
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:58.920
<v Speaker 4>in the Big Twelve, but he wants to be even better,

643
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 4>and you want your head coach to be.

644
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Like, it's funny because if I know you read my

645
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.440
<v Speaker 2>book with lut and I talked to Mike Montgomery about

646
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 2>He says, well, I asked him about the arena. I says,

647
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, how difficult was it coming here to play

648
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 2>in this atmosphere, just as it was like you mentioned Stamford,

649
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and to me, Stanford beats Duke back in the day

650
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.599
<v Speaker 2>hands down, hands down because of the craziness that we

651
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.039
<v Speaker 2>witness with the bouncing floor of the students. How clever

652
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.240
<v Speaker 2>they were more for students for the area, if that

653
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.759
<v Speaker 2>makes any sense. But I said, how difficult was the company?

654
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Says Steve Montgomery says, to me, you think it was

655
00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:38.160
<v Speaker 2>about the crowd. Those guys had very good talent. You're

656
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 2>not worried about the crowd. You're worried about the Richard

657
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson's the Gilbert A Rena says. Those guys who are

658
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>who are good.

659
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, they saw tickets themselves and you know everyone

660
00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:55.240
<v Speaker 4>to Sill have talented players. The thing about the crowd

661
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:58.839
<v Speaker 4>and now is that it seems like it's more reactionary. Yeah,

662
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:02.440
<v Speaker 4>it was gonna make a couple of baskets. Then they

663
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:05.599
<v Speaker 4>stand up and start making noise instead of being you know,

664
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.519
<v Speaker 4>getting them get up and like getting them going, you

665
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 4>know what I mean. Yeah, that's what That's what I

666
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 4>see anyway, right, So, I mean I think this is

667
00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.119
<v Speaker 4>a good thing. I think I think eventually there's gonna

668
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:17.960
<v Speaker 4>be something. They're gonna work on things to get the

669
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:19.680
<v Speaker 4>fan involvement a little bit better.

670
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Well they should, you know, get things going.

671
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I think this is a good thing.

672
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:25.640
<v Speaker 4>It's not a bad thing.

673
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think with uh, with des right here, she's

674
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 2>been here a little more than a year. She's got

675
00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:34.480
<v Speaker 2>to get the full full effect of it. If she

676
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:36.799
<v Speaker 2>and she talks about doing these surveys blah blah blah.

677
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:40.599
<v Speaker 2>If she doesn't get the football situation improved, that's on them,

678
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:43.480
<v Speaker 2>that's on her. And if they don't get this basketball situation,

679
00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and and and do you hold on the last time

680
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:47.279
<v Speaker 2>when they're doing their.

681
00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Speeches at the end, can you hear the speakers the

682
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.559
<v Speaker 3>players know, you usually hear Tommy, but the there's a

683
00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:56.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of mumbling, and you know, they move the Mica

684
00:33:56.279 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Ali and you can't you can't really control that because

685
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:01.039
<v Speaker 3>they don't.

686
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 2>They aren't made to make speeches. They're made to play basketball. Sure,

687
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 2>but even the system, the sound system football like the

688
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 2>football exact games. You can't hear stuff. I wouldn't realize

689
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:12.760
<v Speaker 2>that until I was affected by it and I went

690
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:16.599
<v Speaker 2>as a fan. Everyone who talks about the system is right, yeah.

691
00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's that's something that has to be worked out.

692
00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:23.199
<v Speaker 4>And I know they've had challenge of the football stadium

693
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:26.920
<v Speaker 4>even when Greg Byrne was there about the the you know,

694
00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:31.280
<v Speaker 4>the music and the audio, the level of the noise,

695
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:31.880
<v Speaker 4>and that's.

696
00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.840
<v Speaker 2>That's been It's been seven years now something like that

697
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:37.800
<v Speaker 2>and it hasn't been fixed. So someone's dropping the ball.

698
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:45.599
<v Speaker 4>Right hopefully there you know with the desiree there that

699
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:48.559
<v Speaker 4>she'll she'll put all this into account and make something happen.

700
00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:50.719
<v Speaker 4>She's had that kind of attitude where she wants to

701
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:51.440
<v Speaker 4>make things happen.

702
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, it's like me asking your opinion and and

703
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 2>not doing something about it. Have you, I mean, if

704
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.360
<v Speaker 2>you have if you have these if you have these

705
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:03.800
<v Speaker 2>uh forms that you fill out and suggestions and then

706
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:05.719
<v Speaker 2>throw them in the trash, what's the point of having

707
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.039
<v Speaker 2>these these requests?

708
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:08.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

709
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, don't take the convenient way out to do what

710
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:14.280
<v Speaker 4>you have to do and make sure it happens. To

711
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:17.000
<v Speaker 4>get some more fans in there. Because I heard I

712
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:20.039
<v Speaker 4>heard you say earlier that they're only averaging about ten

713
00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.079
<v Speaker 4>thousand tickets. Says it's sell. You know, it's sell. It's

714
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.559
<v Speaker 4>sold out, right, and then they have to they have

715
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:27.960
<v Speaker 4>to sell five thousands each game, about four four to

716
00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:31.079
<v Speaker 4>five thousand. Yeah, that's unheard of. That's that's that's uh.

717
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:37.159
<v Speaker 4>That didn't happen ever since Littleton's third year, probably right right,

718
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:38.360
<v Speaker 4>second or third year.

719
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:40.880
<v Speaker 2>So people who say there's no tickets their tickets and

720
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:46.239
<v Speaker 2>know their tickets, right, yeah, yeah, all right, huff, thanks

721
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:48.280
<v Speaker 2>for safe travels, safe travels.

722
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'm I was gonna stay really quick up. I'm

723
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:53.519
<v Speaker 4>like stirring outside my window right now at the Caliber

724
00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:57.079
<v Speaker 4>and there's there's the MGM Grand right there and the

725
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:02.920
<v Speaker 4>T mobile, and it's just it's just sad that there's

726
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.960
<v Speaker 4>no pastball tournament. It's just a weird, weird feeling.

727
00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I know, this would have been been This would

728
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:11.119
<v Speaker 2>have been well in fact, in fact, because you went

729
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.280
<v Speaker 2>to a few of them, right, You went to a

730
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:14.400
<v Speaker 2>few of them like us, because you lived out there

731
00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and you travel up there. Here here's the issue. So

732
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:20.360
<v Speaker 2>mckill north, right, and I won't say anything otherwise because

733
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.320
<v Speaker 2>it was mckail north. But a lot of the fans

734
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.039
<v Speaker 2>didn't go to the games. They were out for the party.

735
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, yeah, that was obvious. Yeah, but now I

736
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:33.800
<v Speaker 4>don't know what's what it'll be to see what the

737
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:36.639
<v Speaker 4>fan of all would be like in Kansas City. So yeah,

738
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:39.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure we'll think about what brief pass as to

739
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:44.320
<v Speaker 4>let's say, right about Brian Jeffries and so forth, see

740
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:45.760
<v Speaker 4>what the atmosphere is like.

741
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad. The funny thing is, I've been doing this

742
00:36:47.960 --> 00:36:49.760
<v Speaker 2>for a long time and obviously you guys know that

743
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:53.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay with that going. I'm not. I'm not you know, Vegas. Yes,

744
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.039
<v Speaker 2>that's an issue with Kansas City. Yeah, yeah, I'm okay

745
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:01.360
<v Speaker 2>with this. Yeah, I hear that. Yeah, Okay, thanks Helvier,

746
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.800

<v Speaker 2>Will be on the trigger here for the calls. Five

821
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:31.000
<v Speaker 2>two oh four, one six forty. I wanted to talk

822
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:33.360
<v Speaker 2>real quick again. I get the same kind of messages

823
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:37.480
<v Speaker 2>from my guy about about you, fay. Okay, I'm just

824
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna continue. Uh. Tommy has been bitching about the fans

825
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:42.719
<v Speaker 2>ever since he got here, starting with the first Red

826
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Blue game. The people to blame for this is the students.

827
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:48.760
<v Speaker 2>There's fifty thousand students at u of A and less

828
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:51.639
<v Speaker 2>than ten percent of ten sporting events, and the ones

829
00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:53.679
<v Speaker 2>that do go spend the whole game on their phone.

830
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.800
<v Speaker 2>You can correct me a fin. Nope, there's nothing to correct.

831
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.519
<v Speaker 2>There's it's it's fine, Okay. Tucson is a very transient

832
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:03.039
<v Speaker 2>town and now over one million people. It's not like

833
00:41:03.159 --> 00:41:07.000
<v Speaker 2>those fourth or fifth generation towns in the Midwest or

834
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:11.000
<v Speaker 2>you know. And that's true. That's true. College athletics is

835
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.679
<v Speaker 2>not the same as it used to be with players

836
00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:15.559
<v Speaker 2>having to be paid. I think there is just a

837
00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:19.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of resentment to what athletics has become. Accurate, Right,

838
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.880
<v Speaker 2>that's all pretty accurate. Yeah. Also, TV partners constantly screw

839
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.519
<v Speaker 2>the fans by giving us late games, and if you

840
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:27.400
<v Speaker 2>want to tape a game, you miss most of the

841
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:28.800
<v Speaker 2>first half because the game.

842
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:32.280
<v Speaker 3>Had already started. Yeah, all of that is so accurate.

843
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:38.280
<v Speaker 3>I've experienced almost all those firsthand. It's so hard to

844
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:42.440
<v Speaker 3>be a fan nowadays one because of the nil stuff.

845
00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:46.159
<v Speaker 3>You want to see the return on investment. But at

846
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:49.960
<v Speaker 3>the end of the day, these are twenty max what

847
00:41:50.119 --> 00:41:53.360
<v Speaker 3>twenty two year olds? Yeah, here's the issue. I'm sure

848
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:54.920
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna get callus once you get your degree, but

849
00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:57.639
<v Speaker 3>can you help I make X? I make X amount

850
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:01.519
<v Speaker 3>of money? Right, I don't make figures and I'm not

851
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:02.119
<v Speaker 3>a u a grat.

852
00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:04.800
<v Speaker 2>So this applies if they called me and I'm paying

853
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:07.480
<v Speaker 2>ex player who's a star and he's making half a

854
00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:10.440
<v Speaker 2>mile farnament. You think I'm gonna go reaching in my

855
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:12.880
<v Speaker 2>pocket and pay somebody who makes a lot more than

856
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:16.000
<v Speaker 2>me to live a life or have a good life

857
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:18.360
<v Speaker 2>when I don't make that much money. Yeah, you know

858
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:22.039
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying. And isn't tusund that It's exactly that.

859
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:27.519
<v Speaker 3>It's You've said a bunch of during the show, a

860
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:31.400
<v Speaker 3>bunch of spoiled people who had it nice for a

861
00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:34.719
<v Speaker 3>good twenty years and to this day still have it

862
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty nice. Like I've said, you know, last four years,

863
00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:41.400
<v Speaker 3>sixteen seven at home. Yeah, it's not enough, it's not enough.

864
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:43.920
<v Speaker 2>But do you think those people who are completely who

865
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:46.960
<v Speaker 2>are riching, you know, the charity calls, right, he's and

866
00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:49.159
<v Speaker 2>I all listen to him because he's in the house.

867
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:51.559
<v Speaker 2>He's that calls from me from inside the house. He's

868
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:54.679
<v Speaker 2>witnessed it. And I get the thing that they're upset

869
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:57.360
<v Speaker 2>with Tommy. I get it. But Tommy's not talking about

870
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.639
<v Speaker 2>the people inside the house. He's talking about the people

871
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.440
<v Speaker 2>you likely are tweeting and doing all this stuff that

872
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:04.960
<v Speaker 2>don't go to the games exactly.

873
00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:10.400
<v Speaker 3>And it's just why aren't you just giving those tickets

874
00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:13.519
<v Speaker 3>to anyone else if you're not going to go.

875
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Just anyone else. But as I said, there's only ten thousand.

876
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.679
<v Speaker 2>There's only you know, it's not fifteen thousand or the

877
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:25.920
<v Speaker 2>five thousand to give the tickets to. Those are tickets

878
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:29.039
<v Speaker 2>not being used or you know, people trying to find

879
00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:30.039
<v Speaker 2>them or people buying them.

880
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:35.880
<v Speaker 3>There's it's a tough it's a tough issue at it's

881
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:37.360
<v Speaker 3>probably gonna need multiple solutions.

882
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Not sure where to I'm not even sure where to

883
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:41.960
<v Speaker 2>start with it. Well, I'll give you a guess. Okay,

884
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:44.159
<v Speaker 2>so we know the situation, it's too expensive to go

885
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:45.960
<v Speaker 2>to the games, or you go to the games, but

886
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:50.079
<v Speaker 2>it's too expensive. Supposedly Okay, supposedly, listen, super sincond they

887
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:52.440
<v Speaker 2>cut the prices in half. You think for a second

888
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:57.760
<v Speaker 2>that's going to solve the problem. Absolutely, not absolutely. If

889
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:00.800
<v Speaker 2>you cut the prices, they'll come. That's a you're exactly right.

890
00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:03.519
<v Speaker 3>It's all sunshine of rainbows when you're eating a two

891
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:06.639
<v Speaker 3>dollars hot dog at home, when you're still not going

892
00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:09.800
<v Speaker 3>to the game. Well, we solve your problem with the prices.

893
00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Well there's another issue. There's another issue. There's always another issue.

894
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:19.320
<v Speaker 3>How about you just go be a fan and and

895
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:23.280
<v Speaker 3>I've want to get to this point. Be passionate. Yeah,

896
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:25.280
<v Speaker 3>don't be the one to sit down and get the

897
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:28.599
<v Speaker 3>other people around you in that section to stand up. Yeah,

898
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:31.280
<v Speaker 3>and don't don't wait until it's a ten to nothing.

899
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:37.239
<v Speaker 3>Run to stand up and cheer when they're down five ten,

900
00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:39.320
<v Speaker 3>get them back into the.

901
00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Game so people see, people see the craziness, Kansas. You

902
00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:45.440
<v Speaker 2>saw the game, you saw it, you saw it, you

903
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:46.679
<v Speaker 2>know in a great place.

904
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Right.

905
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:50.519
<v Speaker 2>So all those they're not all students right now, because

906
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:53.199
<v Speaker 2>how they're going to support that program. If they're all students,

907
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:57.320
<v Speaker 2>they won't be able to right. So percentage wise, maybe

908
00:44:57.519 --> 00:44:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you can tell young and old maybe seventy five twenty

909
00:44:59.840 --> 00:45:03.920
<v Speaker 2>five regular people, the twenty five percent students ours. Yeah,

910
00:45:04.639 --> 00:45:07.199
<v Speaker 2>in Michale here, now, what is it? You have the

911
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:12.199
<v Speaker 2>student students right, Uh, maybe eighty twenty maybe seventy five,

912
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:15.599
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. Yeah, that's a good those are.

913
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:19.320
<v Speaker 3>That's a good range around and that twenty or even

914
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.440
<v Speaker 3>the twenty five percent fifty showing up.

915
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, depends on the game, right, depends on who's playing

916
00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:28.400
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah, and like you said, like the text

917
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:34.280
<v Speaker 2>on their phones really engage or or screaming stupid crap. Yeah. Yeah,

918
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:37.880
<v Speaker 2>in my my three years, it was hard to go

919
00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:39.079
<v Speaker 2>and be that fan.

920
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.119
<v Speaker 3>When you have you try and Arizona makes a great play,

921
00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:44.880
<v Speaker 3>you turn around, you're trying to get figh fives, and

922
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.599
<v Speaker 3>they're taking a selfie or worrying about what they're gonna

923
00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:50.000
<v Speaker 3>do after the game. Look what's in front of you, right,

924
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:54.000
<v Speaker 3>you have the moment future NBA prospects that just did

925
00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:54.880
<v Speaker 3>a windmill dunk.

926
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you're worried about where you're gonna.

927
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:59.559
<v Speaker 3>Go eat afterwards because the prices, the prices in this

928
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:05.079
<v Speaker 3>the renard too much. Right, just watch the game, yell, scream,

929
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:07.679
<v Speaker 3>be part of it. Be upset in a in a

930
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.880
<v Speaker 3>in a responsible way. Have you been what other places

931
00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:12.320
<v Speaker 3>have you been to? Did you go to Issue? I

932
00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.679
<v Speaker 3>went to the Issue game this year as as a

933
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:18.400
<v Speaker 3>media member. I was supposed to go freshm year. I

934
00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:21.559
<v Speaker 3>did it, but I went to the only the only

935
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:26.400
<v Speaker 3>experience outside of McHale was Tommy's first year in San Diego.

936
00:46:26.880 --> 00:46:29.599
<v Speaker 2>At the in the tournaments. Oh, in the tournament. Yeah,

937
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and that's a neutral situation. You ain't had some fans

938
00:46:32.440 --> 00:46:36.840
<v Speaker 2>there too. It's totally different other places. Like I was

939
00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:39.960
<v Speaker 2>telling Blake, you don't know until you know. You got

940
00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to go and see. Oh, this is what it means.

941
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:45.039
<v Speaker 2>You talked about the SEC and football. That's how it is. Oh,

942
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:48.599
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize how cool this thing could be and

943
00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:51.000
<v Speaker 2>how different we are. You've seen it. And even when

944
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you play football. And I'll use this bad example, but

945
00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:56.800
<v Speaker 2>you see Arizona suit up, right, you see Arizona suit

946
00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:59.800
<v Speaker 2>up and play and then they're smallish. You go to

947
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State, how can we huge?

948
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:02.719
<v Speaker 7>Huge?

949
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:06.800
<v Speaker 2>And you're thinking that's college football? Wouldn't that be great?

950
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:11.719
<v Speaker 3>And and Arizona and and I think under Jed Fishes

951
00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:13.920
<v Speaker 3>last year and maybe last year and a half.

952
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:15.679
<v Speaker 2>They lived up to that.

953
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:19.599
<v Speaker 3>They looked like one of the college football programs of Alabama,

954
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Ohio State. But you're not going to listen to it

955
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:26.800
<v Speaker 3>because it's touson Arizona. It's the Arizona football team. Who

956
00:47:26.960 --> 00:47:32.079
<v Speaker 3>is this team? Who's Jaden the Lord, who's no Fafida? Yeah, yeah,

957
00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:34.840
<v Speaker 3>it's uh, it is what it is. It's problem.

958
00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:38.119
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna be so seasons already over here. It

959
00:47:38.199 --> 00:47:40.480
<v Speaker 2>has been over for two months. Yeah, well, it depends

960
00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:42.400
<v Speaker 2>what you talk to, right, but it's not gonna I

961
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:43.920
<v Speaker 2>guess we'll hear it at the beginning of the next

962
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:45.599
<v Speaker 2>year's is what do you mean about the fans? What

963
00:47:45.719 --> 00:47:48.000
<v Speaker 2>are you expecting from the fans? Because now it's all

964
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:51.239
<v Speaker 2>neutral court and travel and we'll see how well they

965
00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.280
<v Speaker 2>do travel. They won't, you know why, because people think

966
00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:56.400
<v Speaker 2>they suck exactly. You know, the people who are loyal

967
00:47:56.679 --> 00:47:59.960
<v Speaker 2>will do it because that's what they are. That's the past.

968
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.440
<v Speaker 2>The ones at the game. Correct, They're not the ones tweeting.

969
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:05.800
<v Speaker 2>They're not the ones of facebooking or messaging or calling

970
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:08.840
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. It's the ones who who don't go or

971
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:12.880
<v Speaker 2>don't they just don't know, they don't understand what it

972
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:14.639
<v Speaker 2>means to be a fan. They know what it means

973
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:15.239
<v Speaker 2>to be a critic.

974
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:22.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, now established critic or even the critic with background,

975
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:25.880
<v Speaker 3>and uh, I'm looking for the way.

976
00:48:25.880 --> 00:48:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I can't find it.

977
00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:32.280
<v Speaker 3>But credibility, credibility, they're not that. Well, you're not on Facebook,

978
00:48:32.280 --> 00:48:33.800
<v Speaker 3>That's why I asked. And then you're on Twitter maybe

979
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:36.440
<v Speaker 3>a little yep, and and integra. I see it, Yeah,

980
00:48:36.880 --> 00:48:40.519
<v Speaker 3>you see it. God, my thoughts are all over the place.

981
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:45.039
<v Speaker 3>My question to one of the callers, I think it was, Oh, Carls,

982
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:48.400
<v Speaker 3>what does it mean? Steve? Steve writes this and says

983
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:52.159
<v Speaker 3>that this sucks, They suck, Caleb can't hit shots, blah blah.

984
00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.079
<v Speaker 2>We all see, we all see what you see. What's

985
00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:58.599
<v Speaker 2>the need for you to tell people this exactly? We

986
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:00.480
<v Speaker 2>all see it. You don't need to open up the

987
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:03.440
<v Speaker 2>computer or the phone and write this. This team sex

988
00:49:03.519 --> 00:49:06.760
<v Speaker 2>because of this happens. What's your point? What's your point?

989
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:08.679
<v Speaker 2>We all see it? You are you in that analysis?

990
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:12.639
<v Speaker 3>Again, it goes to the issue of we not we

991
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:19.280
<v Speaker 3>fans are more let's look at the problem instead of

992
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:20.599
<v Speaker 3>let's find solutions.

993
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's and that's just it starts. Yeah, yeah,

994
00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:26.719
<v Speaker 2>what's like, you have what you are. You are who

995
00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:29.800
<v Speaker 2>you are, Salim Stoda mar is not coming through the

996
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:33.960
<v Speaker 2>to the locker room to save your your three point shots. Yeah,

997
00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:34.840
<v Speaker 2>you have what you have.

998
00:49:36.599 --> 00:49:40.039
<v Speaker 3>And at that point it comes down to the practice.

999
00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:43.079
<v Speaker 3>It comes within the team itself, whether they're making shots

1000
00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:45.559
<v Speaker 3>or do you think executing right or let me ask

1001
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:47.599
<v Speaker 3>you to do you think that the players read that

1002
00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:50.760
<v Speaker 3>stuff the Facebook? I think some of them do at

1003
00:49:50.760 --> 00:49:53.719
<v Speaker 3>a certain point. It's all kind of the same. And

1004
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:54.639
<v Speaker 3>what do you think they think?

1005
00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:56.039
<v Speaker 14>See?

1006
00:49:56.039 --> 00:49:57.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe that they do. I don't think they care.

1007
00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.280
<v Speaker 3>I believe they see it. I don't know if they

1008
00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:04.679
<v Speaker 3>take it in. It just kind of they scroll, they

1009
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:06.800
<v Speaker 3>see read it maybe for a quick second, and then

1010
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:07.599
<v Speaker 3>it leaves their mind.

1011
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that's gonna inspire them? No? Has it

1012
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:12.679
<v Speaker 2>inspired them to this point, not at all.

1013
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:17.840
<v Speaker 3>Since Caleb Love hasn't really shot any better because you

1014
00:50:17.920 --> 00:50:20.280
<v Speaker 3>send out that tweet or the message.

1015
00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Right right right, hold on, I'm on the bench. I

1016
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:25.280
<v Speaker 2>just got a notification someone's bitching about my shots.

1017
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:27.239
<v Speaker 3>I better fix this. I better fix it. I'm gonna

1018
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:29.599
<v Speaker 3>start hitting them now. Oh my goodness, I feel so

1019
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:30.159
<v Speaker 3>much better.

1020
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:34.480
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all. My point is just go scream

1021
00:50:34.559 --> 00:50:38.440
<v Speaker 2>outside your house because it's this falls on the same

1022
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.039
<v Speaker 2>death fears. Although I'm talking about it now, I'm thinking,

1023
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:44.760
<v Speaker 2>who do these people think? You know, what do they think?

1024
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:50.039
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't tell you. I really couldn't. And I'll be honest.

1025
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:54.079
<v Speaker 3>I was one of those fans that used to criticize

1026
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:55.760
<v Speaker 3>and say why and they shooting better?

1027
00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:01.920
<v Speaker 2>At this point? What age were you? Fifteen, sixty? Ok

1028
00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:05.599
<v Speaker 2>I was a real young adult. Yeah, okay, And now

1029
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:08.159
<v Speaker 2>you realize it's just a game.

1030
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:11.400
<v Speaker 3>At the end of the day. These kids, they they

1031
00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:14.840
<v Speaker 3>they this is their life and it is what it is.

1032
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes it goes in, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you sometimes

1033
00:51:18.519 --> 00:51:21.519
<v Speaker 3>you make a run to the national championship in ninety seven,

1034
00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:25.679
<v Speaker 3>and sometimes you lose to Princeton. Yeah, that's that's just

1035
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:29.320
<v Speaker 3>the game of basketball and any other sport, any other sport.

1036
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but some people live and die with it, which

1037
00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:35.079
<v Speaker 2>more power to you, and I guess that's what the

1038
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:37.360
<v Speaker 2>fan is. But it makes no sense to me.

1039
00:51:38.480 --> 00:51:42.079
<v Speaker 3>There just needs to be overall better support for the

1040
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:46.639
<v Speaker 3>players when they're having bad, bad games, bad days, bad seasons.

1041
00:51:46.639 --> 00:51:48.280
