Speaker 3: I'm Steve Ribera. Look you got out of bed today.
Speaker 2: Look you halfway decent well in this colorful shirt.
Speaker 4: But you know I got out of bed and I
Speaker 4: got dressed up. Steve, I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 4: It was the tough day yesterday. Yes, you're too I heard,
Speaker 4: well I didn't hear, actually, but you've told me, you know,
Speaker 4: yesterday was one of those days. I woke up at
Speaker 4: two thirty in the morning and I said, there's some
Speaker 4: things wrong with my body right now, and it's making
Speaker 4: noises that it shouldn't be making all in the mid session,
Speaker 4: and it was all bad all day yesterday.
Speaker 3: Well, good to have you.
Speaker 2: I thought you probably watched too much of you as
Speaker 2: football on Friday and then revisited it on the weekend.
Speaker 4: You know, I was afraid that there were going to
Speaker 4: be jokes about that that I was sick because of
Speaker 4: the game on Saturday. The truth is, it's like I
Speaker 4: took the game and I'm like, Okay, that's what we're
Speaker 4: dealing with. They've still got they've got issues that they've
Speaker 4: got to fix. I think that they've got. There's there's
Speaker 4: a whole.
Speaker 3: Lot more to.
Speaker 4: Guys who aren't back that you know that they're missing
Speaker 4: from last year, you know, just who have left, who
Speaker 4: you know graduated or whatever. And then I think there's
Speaker 4: more to the there's a more of a transition than
Speaker 4: may maybe people thought there should be.
Speaker 5: Sure.
Speaker 2: Sure, So we'll kind of revisit the game again. We
Speaker 2: did that a lot yesterday when we finally got on,
Speaker 2: I had the Lamont Hundly on. We talked a little
Speaker 2: about a lot of well a lot about the football
Speaker 2: and then the more io and helped maybe affixed recruiting.
Speaker 3: He said it doesn't.
Speaker 2: But but to go back and Jim Culture and I
Speaker 2: said to him everything that we had talked about before,
Speaker 2: including Jim call off Friday, remember one the things that
Speaker 2: you said or we said could not happen happened, right.
Speaker 2: And it was the blowout, right, it was thirty one
Speaker 2: to seven. That's a blowout. And my whole thing and
Speaker 2: I said this a number of times yesterday. I was
Speaker 2: disheartened as an observer that they showed no life. It
Speaker 2: was uninspiring, right, and that's it. Hey, I don't know
Speaker 2: x's and o's, I don't, but it was uninspiring to me.
Speaker 3: Right, No, I it was. Yeah. I mean you just
Speaker 3: felt like there was no fire, nothing after that.
Speaker 4: And I'm not sure why because they got off to
Speaker 4: such a great start after that first drive. You know,
Speaker 4: Kansas State went down and scored and tied the game.
Speaker 4: I might that, Okay, Arizona needs to answer back.
Speaker 2: He almost did, yeah, and the interception right, and then
Speaker 2: then after that just kind.
Speaker 4: Of nothing right. Defensively, the same mistakes over and over again.
Speaker 4: No containment on a quarterback who needed to be contained.
Speaker 4: You know that every every team that's got a quarterback
Speaker 4: like that is going to watch that film, and unless
Speaker 4: Arizona the coaches coach something different, that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 4: You know, you can see Arizona getting beat up by
Speaker 4: quarterbacks that run time and again. Defensive ends, their their
Speaker 4: edge rushers were going inside and I'm like.
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 4: Even I can tell you shouldn't be doing that, right, right,
Speaker 4: make the guy go, you know, going inside, and then
Speaker 4: whoever it is, and they didn't do it the whole night.
Speaker 3: Then they couldn't run the ball, you know, they just
Speaker 3: couldn't run the ball. And that was That's the.
Speaker 4: Thing that you can go back and you go, Okay,
Speaker 4: they don't have the guys that they had last year.
Speaker 2: They don't have Coleman, you know, and they don't have
Speaker 2: the kid who was there from New Mexican.
Speaker 3: And and the line just is not very good right now.
Speaker 3: So so.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say this because I'm not going to
Speaker 2: apologize because I don't think I hyped. I didn't write
Speaker 2: much about anything this fall because I just didn't didn't
Speaker 2: have time I was here. And I don't think you,
Speaker 2: as a fan, didn't much of the hyping either.
Speaker 3: You were just poor. But although we talk about I
Speaker 3: did about you.
Speaker 2: Although you did kind of say over eight and blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, I'm sure that's reevaluated for you.
Speaker 3: One more game. Okay, Look, I thought they were gonna
Speaker 3: the right game.
Speaker 2: It's not the right game to evaluate because at the
Speaker 2: end of the day we said maybe two and two or.
Speaker 4: Likely you thought, Yeah, I'm still thinking that they're going
Speaker 4: to go to and two and then it's gonna be
Speaker 4: what happened that. Let's say Texas Tech comes to town
Speaker 4: and we see all the same things and either they
Speaker 4: barely win or they don't win, then you go, Okay,
Speaker 4: this is not an eight win team.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, and I mean right now, I'm not saying that
Speaker 4: they're an eight win team, but I'm not saying that
Speaker 4: they're not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just won't get there. They lose the Texas
Speaker 3: Tech right. Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many things that we could talk about. Uh,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of heat on a lot of heat
Speaker 2: whatever that means to on bavers, you know what. And
Speaker 2: and and there's some concerns about Brennett. Yeah, there's three
Speaker 2: games in so let's not go crazy. Let's not let's
Speaker 2: not go crazy.
Speaker 4: I got I got texted by one one of our
Speaker 4: callers who said, uh, that you know something about I
Speaker 4: can't remember if it was about Brennan or Babers, uh, saying,
Speaker 4: you know, the honeymoon's over. And I said, relax, this
Speaker 4: is the third game. This is the third game. Don't
Speaker 4: I said, don't be one of those guys that we're
Speaker 4: seeing on on social media who are already saying Babers
Speaker 4: needs to be fired and Brennan's.
Speaker 3: Not the guy. Stop it? Do they?
Speaker 2: So, you know the guy who tweeted obviously, as you know,
Speaker 2: are they invested financially on a team?
Speaker 3: I think they are?
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's a plus because you kind of have
Speaker 2: some say whatever, they're in fair weather fans.
Speaker 3: Uh No, I agree with you. I agree with you there.
Speaker 3: Let me.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, was that we that's exactly what we
Speaker 4: didn't want to see in this game.
Speaker 3: As a fan, you did not want to see a
Speaker 3: Zona get beat up like that. We talked about that.
Speaker 4: But there's nine games left on the schedule. There doesn't
Speaker 4: This doesn't mean that that the rest of the that
Speaker 4: this is who they are. Let's not forget the the
Speaker 4: the game that that Arizona lost and it's twelve and
Speaker 4: one season. They lost by twenty four points. They got
Speaker 4: beat fifty two to twenty eight by UCLA.
Speaker 3: Remember that game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a close game at halftime and they're no,
Speaker 4: well no, it was actually in the middle of here.
Speaker 4: But then they got blown up in the in the
Speaker 4: third quarter. I think UCLA scored twenty eight points in
Speaker 4: the third court, twenty one or twenty eight points in
Speaker 4: the third quarter, and yet Arizona win and won the
Speaker 4: rest of their games. This is not the end of
Speaker 4: the world on this in this thing. And you know,
Speaker 4: somebody made a good point to me. The defense gave
Speaker 4: up twenty four points, right because they gave up the
Speaker 4: special team's touchdown. If you'd have asked me, would you
Speaker 4: sign up for Arizona's defense only giving up twenty four
Speaker 4: points to Kansas State? Will you take that? And I
Speaker 4: would have taken that. I would have said, yeah, I'll
Speaker 4: take that.
Speaker 3: And I think.
Speaker 4: Arizona's chances of winning that game would be good if
Speaker 4: they only gave up twenty four points. Now, none of
Speaker 4: us thought they were only going to score seven, especially
Speaker 4: sure after way they looked in that first drive.
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, I'll say one of our callers. So I
Speaker 2: was texting me today, one of our friends. I said,
Speaker 2: you know what's going on?
Speaker 3: And what's you know?
Speaker 2: The team is looking good. So kat Cats need help
Speaker 2: and fans need therapy exactly pretty much.
Speaker 3: Right. They got to get to work.
Speaker 4: There's there's stuff, there's stuff that they've got to fix,
Speaker 4: and they've got to do and if they don't do it,
Speaker 4: then yeah, they're gonna have it's going to be a
Speaker 4: disastrous season.
Speaker 3: What are the things? But I believe they'll work on them.
Speaker 3: They know what they've got to work on.
Speaker 2: Sure, I was halfway critical on my story on Friday night,
Speaker 2: but I did like that Brendan said, I got to
Speaker 2: coach better. Yeah, I think you know, Dick Toby. That
Speaker 2: was from the Dictoby school of I got to.
Speaker 3: I've got to coach them better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he does, and he does because I'm not
Speaker 2: sure the uninspiring type of thing is coming from somewhere.
Speaker 3: It's coming from somewhere because they have to be.
Speaker 2: At the worst Arizona fans, everyz little players, basketball, football, anything,
Speaker 2: they have to play inspired because they're not the five stars.
Speaker 4: Right, They've got to get out there and they've got
Speaker 4: to have some fire that gives them that extra extra staff, right,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 2: Extra whatever, and that's what makes them who they are, right,
Speaker 2: because if they don't have that, they're just normal team,
Speaker 2: normal team, you know, you know. I also wanted to
Speaker 2: get to a subject that I brought up with Lamont.
Speaker 2: I think it was yesterday, and I know we're trying
Speaker 2: to get a call on here and il you didn't
Speaker 2: hear this conversation?
Speaker 3: When did they get paid? When do they get paid?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: So if they get you ever have a job that
Speaker 2: they pay you up front and then you either perform
Speaker 2: or don't.
Speaker 4: Before you get you get paid every two weeks for
Speaker 4: the past two weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So what if these kids get paid X
Speaker 2: amount of money fifty thousand at the start of at
Speaker 2: the summer or whatever.
Speaker 3: Right, what do you have? What kind of motivation do
Speaker 3: you have?
Speaker 4: I mean, does does dj uangalle? Has he already gotten
Speaker 4: his million dollars or whatever he's getting or are they
Speaker 4: giving it to him over time?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: And look at his performance? We have a call. Let's
Speaker 3: take this. Hi, you're on the r and I on
Speaker 3: the ball.
Speaker 5: Hey, this is Robert.
Speaker 6: Guys, you're saying that it's something that needs to be
Speaker 6: faced when we score twenty two points against Nau and
Speaker 6: then following it up with it for great perform seven
Speaker 6: point performance. What Baffedo's got to start being mobile. He's
Speaker 6: got to start running the ball, because what's he gonna
Speaker 6: do just sit there and go in circles like he
Speaker 6: look like the war When he does that, backward spin
Speaker 6: where he's instead of losing eights and nine yards, he's
Speaker 6: gonna lose twenty yards if he gets sacked back there.
Speaker 3: What he's got to.
Speaker 6: Be able to move the ball and run the ball
Speaker 6: to open up the offense because everybody's just gonna tee
Speaker 6: off on him. That'sal Kansas State. Why at the end
Speaker 6: of U game, I'm sure, So what what what's gonna change?
Speaker 6: I mean, what are they going to do differently that's
Speaker 6: gonna make the feet out of Benrick?
Speaker 2: Well, they have to run the ball. The Jay talked
Speaker 2: about that. That's a must.
Speaker 3: They have to run the ball, and they have to.
Speaker 3: They have to protect him better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's having to run around back there in circles,
Speaker 4: as you say, because they're not they're not protecting him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And I've seen three or four players where he had
Speaker 6: an opening to run six, seven, eight yards and he
Speaker 6: sits there, tries to just force the ball into somebody.
Speaker 6: I mean, is he I know he's a good quarterback
Speaker 6: and I know he can do great things, But I mean,
Speaker 6: is he afraid? Is he told the run or what.
Speaker 7: Is the thing where he's not running?
Speaker 6: We don't want him running every play, So when you
Speaker 6: need to pick up a first down to keep the
Speaker 6: drive going.
Speaker 5: You need to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's not his first option. Obviously.
Speaker 2: If he's back there, he's looking for his one, two,
Speaker 2: three options, And right now I don't think he has
Speaker 2: but two options. And that's Tim Mac and the kid
Speaker 2: from the Kid from Colorado, because that's.
Speaker 6: All we had to see him looking around the field
Speaker 6: a lot of times. I mean, I know he's running
Speaker 6: a lot too, but sometimes he's just like he's focused
Speaker 6: on one receiver and okay, and then why don't we
Speaker 6: try like Speedy Luke? Why are we running him like
Speaker 6: keen sweets or something to open up instead of trying
Speaker 6: to go up the middle and every single run like
Speaker 6: we've done for the last hundred.
Speaker 7: Years at Arizona.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me see something different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Robert, we got to get you off the line.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call. But let me answer that. I
Speaker 2: think they're still not So how can I say this
Speaker 2: confident in Speedy Luke because he has one issue and
Speaker 2: we know what that which issue is right holding onto
Speaker 2: the ball h And that's crucial obviously. I think once
Speaker 2: they get more more comfortable with that, whenever that is,
Speaker 2: that'll happen more, Robert, but we'll see. Thanks for calling those, Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5: Guys.
Speaker 4: All right, we have another caller. Hi, you're on the Hi,
Speaker 4: you're on the R and I on the ball.
Speaker 8: How's it going today, Brian? How are you all pretty good?
Speaker 8: One of my biggest concerns besides the offenses and defensive
Speaker 8: line everybody's talking about, is the lack of discipline on
Speaker 8: the team with all the penalties.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and let me tell you, Brian, where does
Speaker 2: that come from head coach, from coaching?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7: You know, and everybody can say, Okay, we.
Speaker 8: Know they're they're struggling on the offenses and defensive lines,
Speaker 8: but they're you know, they're just they're throwing away drives
Speaker 8: or continuing drives to the other teams because of dumb penalties.
Speaker 4: Yes, that's a it's a glaring, glaring problem for them.
Speaker 4: In three games they've got with thirty penalties in three games.
Speaker 3: You can't do that, and a lot of them you
Speaker 3: shouldn't be doing at all.
Speaker 4: I mean, there was a key, that key drive where
Speaker 4: they were moving the ball, but there they were going
Speaker 4: up ten and back ten, up ten and back ten
Speaker 4: in that, and there were like three holding penalties in
Speaker 4: like four plays. It killed them on a drive that
Speaker 4: looked like they were moving the ball, but they kept
Speaker 4: getting backed up because of that. So now I one
Speaker 4: hundred percent agree with you, because that's that's just that's
Speaker 4: just the way you beat yourself. And I mean, it's
Speaker 4: hard enough to gain yards in a in a college
Speaker 4: football game without having to, you know, gain them over
Speaker 4: and over and over again just to get back to
Speaker 4: the place that you were.
Speaker 3: I mean that.
Speaker 8: And it's also it's also unfortunate, I mean, on the
Speaker 8: defense on a defensive line, especially all the players we
Speaker 8: lost from last year and basically setting up a whole
Speaker 8: new defensive line. And and I.
Speaker 7: Understand maybe it does take a few weeks, but they
Speaker 7: have to start.
Speaker 8: Showing from week one to week two a little bit
Speaker 8: better and week two to week three a little bit better,
Speaker 8: not like week one was bad and week two is
Speaker 8: bad and week three is bad.
Speaker 2: Right, So let me ask you real quick, right on
Speaker 2: the positivity of a scale of one to ten, on
Speaker 2: the positive positivity of how you feel, where are you
Speaker 2: at to this point?
Speaker 8: It's it's just hard to tell im. I'm of course
Speaker 8: I want the team to do well, you know, and
Speaker 8: they have they have talent to do well. Maybe we
Speaker 8: were a little over excited about going nine to three,
Speaker 8: ten to two, whatever. Okay, I don't know if that's
Speaker 8: going to happen. I don't I don't think.
Speaker 7: It's going to happen now unless something really changes on
Speaker 7: this by.
Speaker 3: Week, right, it certain doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Speaker 7: Right, Okay, and so we are Let's.
Speaker 5: Say we are two and two after four, and.
Speaker 7: That's basically exactly what we.
Speaker 5: Thought where we would be after four.
Speaker 7: Right then, then to me, that's when the season.
Speaker 8: Starts, in that fifth game. Yeah, no, you're right, that's.
Speaker 7: Where they have to improve because I'm not.
Speaker 8: Really excited about I don't think you are. I'm not,
Speaker 8: or many fans are excited about a six and sixth season.
Speaker 4: No, you're you're one hundred percent correct percent correct, all right, Brian, Hey,
Speaker 4: thanks about it?
Speaker 7: You go.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, No, we got to go here because we
Speaker 3: got to go here. Yeah, okay. No, I think.
Speaker 2: Everybody, you know, the sensible guys who were calling us
Speaker 2: feel the same way we do, just just in observations. Uh,
Speaker 2: they're not down on them because they're realistically four and
Speaker 2: we said this four games in, we'll figure it out
Speaker 2: and then the rest of the schedule.
Speaker 4: I mean, if they if they look a lot like
Speaker 4: this against Utah after two weeks of trying to fix
Speaker 4: their issues, if it looks the same, then you start
Speaker 4: to think this is not working well.
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of a lot of factors that
Speaker 3: take maybe people.
Speaker 4: Aren't realizing, one of them being there's more to the
Speaker 4: coaching transition than we thought.
Speaker 3: That's what I've been thinking about it a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no question, new coaches, new system. But but
Speaker 2: it's the but okay, that's it. The penalty shouldn't be
Speaker 2: happening the little the little things.
Speaker 4: Should right, There's some things that regardless of who the
Speaker 4: coaching is, right, they shouldn't happen.
Speaker 3: All right, we gotta take a break. Okay, let's do that.
Speaker 3: All right.

Speaker 3: messed up, so yeah, yeah, that's Mark. Well, how you doing.
Speaker 3: How you doing?
Speaker 7: I'm really well, Steve.
Speaker 3: How about you flying? Thank you?
Speaker 2: It's been a while since we've spoken to you. We'll
Speaker 2: get to other things later, but what do you think
Speaker 2: about the EU of a program today? I'm sure you've
Speaker 2: seen the games.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I watched very closely, and uh, you know, it's
Speaker 7: a new world out there, Steve, as we all know,
Speaker 7: and playing in a new conference that we don't know
Speaker 7: the opponents that we're playing and we have no history
Speaker 7: or record with.
Speaker 5: Them, and you know, you're in the unknown world. And
Speaker 5: I thought we got caught off guard a little bit.
Speaker 7: On some things, but you know, it's college football, and
Speaker 7: you know, some things happen and the game can change
Speaker 7: real fast.
Speaker 3: Mark point.
Speaker 4: One of the things that I've been thinking about since, uh,
Speaker 4: you know this with this game is that regardless of
Speaker 4: whether you've got a good team or whatever, there's there's
Speaker 4: a transition period getting used to each other. You were
Speaker 4: part of those right, you stayed through a couple of
Speaker 4: coaching staffs.
Speaker 3: How hard is that is it?
Speaker 4: You know, what are the types of things that you
Speaker 4: have to manage even if you know in this say,
Speaker 4: in this situation, as it's coming off a great season.
Speaker 4: They've got a lot of good players left there, They've
Speaker 4: got high expectations, but they're changing coaches. Regardless of how
Speaker 4: good they might be, they're still an adjustment period.
Speaker 7: Is there not very difficult to get that continuity between
Speaker 7: the coaching staffs.
Speaker 5: To begin with and then the players that are there.
Speaker 7: And guy, can't even imagine the day with you know,
Speaker 7: the transfer portal and all that stuff.
Speaker 5: You know, you've got guys that are from.
Speaker 7: All over the country and you know, to me, it
Speaker 7: would seem to be hard to.
Speaker 5: Build that continuity to where you know.
Speaker 7: The kids know what you're doing, and you.
Speaker 5: Know them, and you know, buying.
Speaker 7: Buying in for maybe one or two years for these
Speaker 7: guys that are enter the portal, you know's there's it's a.
Speaker 5: Whole camera of arms.
Speaker 3: See yeah, no question.
Speaker 2: So are there any secrets to making it work other
Speaker 2: than practice?
Speaker 5: I don't know, man.
Speaker 7: I would save today as you throw money at it. Well,
Speaker 7: back back back in my day, we were lucky if
Speaker 7: we got a free pizza somewhere.
Speaker 3: Well, they're throwing money at it.
Speaker 4: So let me ask you, if you were here for
Speaker 4: the for the you were here for the transition where
Speaker 4: you're not from from Were you here for the transition
Speaker 4: from Larry Smith to Dick Tony?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were right, you were on the coaching staff.
Speaker 7: I was here for three transitions. At the end of
Speaker 7: my junior year, coacheng left.
Speaker 5: And went to Purdue, and we had Tony.
Speaker 7: Mason's friend and that was, oh, I don't even have
Speaker 7: I know, it's the PG show. You don't do it,
Speaker 7: but I will, I promised, I will only hang up.
Speaker 3: I'll think about what I said.
Speaker 7: The second one was, you know I was here with Larry.
Speaker 7: Larry was Larry was the defensive coordinator for coach Young
Speaker 7: and he left went to Tulane and then he he
Speaker 7: came back here and I had I'd actually left Arizona
Speaker 7: went to Purdue and was coaching the quarterbacks, but my fiancee, Maggie,
Speaker 7: was living here in Tucson, and when Larry got the job,
Speaker 7: he called and hired me to be the receiver coach.
Speaker 7: That was transition number one, and I think all.
Speaker 5: The guys on that squad were glad.
Speaker 7: It was breath the fresh air to have Larry Smith
Speaker 7: as opposed to Tony Mason risk. His soul just totally different.
Speaker 7: And but there were there were there were times, you know,
Speaker 7: the guys kind of looked at you sideways, like we
Speaker 7: don't do it that way, and well, yes we do,
Speaker 7: and you know, you lose a little bit there. The
Speaker 7: transition between Dick and Larry to me was was really
Speaker 7: difficult because the players that were here, the Chuck Cecils
Speaker 7: and you know, all the guys that had been here
Speaker 7: a while and had been through everything that we've been through.
Speaker 7: You know, here's here's Dick Tolemy coming in wearing flip
Speaker 7: flops or you know, penny loafers with no shorts and
Speaker 7: no socks on and Hawaiian plaid shirts and you know,
Speaker 7: and everything was kind of Hawaii time, and uh, you
Speaker 7: know it. It took a couple of losses and I
Speaker 7: can bigually remember one and I won't go into details.
Speaker 5: We lost.
Speaker 7: We lost at Oregon State and we let's stay. We
Speaker 7: stayed on the bus for a while, and we stayed
Speaker 7: on the plane for a while before it took off,
Speaker 7: and and we got home and and we met early
Speaker 7: that next day, so everybody was running on those sleeps,
Speaker 7: and we had kind of a jump and shout meeting
Speaker 7: and let the Dick was great man. Dick Dick wanted
Speaker 7: to know what the players wanted to know. He god
Speaker 7: rest is so I'm one of the best I've ever
Speaker 7: been around. And Larry was awesome as well. I don't
Speaker 7: want to downplay that, but it just they.
Speaker 5: Bought in and we went on a we went on about.
Speaker 7: A four game win streak, I think, and then you know,
Speaker 7: we towards the end we lost one one one.
Speaker 5: But when we got.
Speaker 7: Into spring ball that year, it was it was.
Speaker 5: Like night and day.
Speaker 7: You guys were ready. They knew what to expect. You know,
Speaker 7: they knew what time they were supposed to be here,
Speaker 7: they knew when they got to practice, this is.
Speaker 5: What it was going to look like. They knew what
Speaker 5: the meeting schedules are going to be looked like. They
Speaker 5: knew what the travel schedules, you know, so they it
Speaker 5: took a while for them to buy in. But when
Speaker 5: they did, we were we were really good.
Speaker 3: But that but that is the bottom line.
Speaker 4: It took a while because even that the Larry Smith's team,
Speaker 4: the last Larry Smith team went nine and three, I
Speaker 4: think right one, you know, won the Low Hubble and
Speaker 4: all that. Uh, and then they're going to and and
Speaker 4: people just expect, well, you were nine and three last year,
Speaker 4: so you should be really good again this year.
Speaker 3: Which is kind of what's happening with this team.
Speaker 4: And I don't know that people are realizing that regardless
Speaker 4: of how good you are or should be, the transition
Speaker 4: still takes some juice out of that.
Speaker 7: It sure does. And and like I said, I don't
Speaker 7: even I'm not sure how I would handle what goes
Speaker 7: on in the world or college football these days. I'm
Speaker 7: still kind of old school. I know, Dwayne, Dwayne's old school.
Speaker 7: Dwayne's one of the best coaches I've ever been around.
Speaker 7: And Dino is a really good coach. And and you know,
Speaker 7: coach Brennan was lucky to get those two guys to
Speaker 7: lead lead those sides of the ball. And it's just gonna.
Speaker 5: Take a while, you know. And and you're.
Speaker 7: Right last year, last year's team, it took jad three
Speaker 7: years to finally have a really good team. And we
Speaker 7: were really good last year. And then he leaves, and
Speaker 7: you know, some of the kids stayed, some of the
Speaker 7: kids left. You know, they're not sure what coach Brennan's
Speaker 7: style is going to be like.
Speaker 5: And and you know.
Speaker 7: I wasn't able to go up. I usually go watch
Speaker 7: a few practices, but I'm, you know, with some medical
Speaker 7: stuff that I'll keep to myself. But you know, usually
Speaker 7: I go down and I didn't get a chance to
Speaker 7: be on the field and kind of watch the guy's
Speaker 7: coach and.
Speaker 5: I don't know some of the other coach, not that
Speaker 5: means anything. They're all good coaches, or he wouldn't have
Speaker 5: hired them, And you know, it's just it looks like
Speaker 5: they just haven't quite meshed yet. I don't know.
Speaker 7: And how do you tell. You know, you play in
Speaker 7: New Mexico, who gave us a pretty good go, which
Speaker 7: was surprising, and then we played in a U and
Speaker 7: that school was really surprising to me, and you just like,
Speaker 7: we're still it hasn't clicked yet, but it sure needs
Speaker 7: to click soon because watching a lot, there's a lot
Speaker 7: of good football being playing all over the country and
Speaker 7: it's a it's it's a it's a new world out there.
Speaker 2: So someone you said something before before, uh that back
Speaker 2: in the day, this is not how we do things.
Speaker 2: I think that's what the guy said. And well, you
Speaker 2: have a new coach, do you think that's part of it?
Speaker 2: Because they were under under Jet for a few years
Speaker 2: and then whatever that coaches, uh the coaches philosophy is.
Speaker 2: And now Brennan kind of a laid back they told
Speaker 2: me style, and they're just not used to it because, oh,
Speaker 2: this is not how we did it before.
Speaker 5: Very much. So you don't know how you've been.
Speaker 7: You and Jay both been real lucky to stay in
Speaker 7: Tucson and and have the same job, so we've not
Speaker 7: had to transition into a whole new way of doing things.
Speaker 7: And I did it three times in the coaching world,
Speaker 7: but it was all at the same university. Thank God,
Speaker 7: I love you today. And uh, you know you recruit,
Speaker 7: you know you're going, You're going. I went in Teddy
Speaker 7: Bruce's living room many times, and Teddy chose to come
Speaker 7: to Arizona, and you know, he turned out to be
Speaker 7: a great brother. Was in Chuck Cecil several times when
Speaker 7: he was being recruited, and he was used to Chuck
Speaker 7: was one of the main leaders on that defense on
Speaker 7: that team, and those guys were used to doing it
Speaker 7: to Larry smith Way because they'd all been recruited by
Speaker 7: that We've all sitting in their homes and made the
Speaker 7: promise that we were going to take care of their
Speaker 7: kids and this is how we do things, and this
Speaker 7: is what you can expect. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 7: you know, you you get a new coach, you get
Speaker 7: a lot of new players surrounding that new coach, You
Speaker 7: get a new position, coach, you get you know, just
Speaker 7: just different things that are difficult for these young men
Speaker 7: to deal with. And and god knows how who's all
Speaker 7: got their ears? You know, family, friends, parents, in il
Speaker 7: transfer portal, you're not getting dealt with fairly. Now you
Speaker 7: got to stay and get coach Pard. You know, That's
Speaker 7: that was one thing about at least the old transfer rule.
Speaker 7: Unfair as it might might have been, you you had
Speaker 7: to stay where you were, and you learned to make
Speaker 7: the most of it. It wasn't fair, It wasn't fair,
Speaker 7: but it made for continuity. It made for having some
Speaker 7: good football players on good teams.
Speaker 4: Does a loss like this can a loss like this,
Speaker 4: you know, because it was a bad loss, let's just
Speaker 4: say it. I mean, they nobody expected them to get
Speaker 4: beat the way they did, and certainly they didn't expect that.
Speaker 4: But can something like that kind of get everybody's attention, say, Okay,
Speaker 4: whatever we were doing that's not working. We got to
Speaker 4: do something else. I mean, can it be used like that?
Speaker 4: Will the coaches use it like that? Will the players
Speaker 4: recognize that?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 7: I hope the coaches use it like that within the
Speaker 7: coaching rooms, because that starts with them, you know what
Speaker 7: they whatever plan that coach Brendan's moving has moving forward
Speaker 7: for the in a near future. It came out of
Speaker 7: that room on Sunday. Sunday was a long day for
Speaker 7: those coaches. I promise it. I bet long slide. I
Speaker 7: mean it's long. You have tough loss and you know
Speaker 7: those those are those are hard losses because you know,
Speaker 7: you know you're capable.
Speaker 5: Of playing better than you did and.
Speaker 7: You've got to determine in a real short amount of time.
Speaker 7: But you know this is a this is a turning
Speaker 7: not a turning point per se. But you know this
Speaker 7: could be a turnaround game for us coming up. But
Speaker 7: it's a very tough University of Utah. I have a
Speaker 7: lot of history view Tah and when I played, I.
Speaker 5: Was in the whack and so were they, and they've
Speaker 5: been one of our key.
Speaker 7: Rivals and we gave them pretty something, pretty good thumthing
Speaker 7: to him last year here in Tucson. And I know
Speaker 7: Kyle Whittingham pretty well, and some of those coaches on there,
Speaker 7: they have not forgot that we need to be ready
Speaker 7: because we're going in there. And and I don't know
Speaker 7: if cam Rysen was playing or not. I watched that game.
Speaker 7: He didn't play. The young man had played in his
Speaker 7: place and experienced.
Speaker 5: And they're going to line.
Speaker 7: Up and hitch in the mouth, and.
Speaker 5: You know, on both sides of the ball, and we
Speaker 5: better be ready.
Speaker 7: It could be a long day if we're not. And
Speaker 7: I guess I didn't ess I answer your question. Yes,
Speaker 7: I do believe if you can turn things around if
Speaker 7: you have the kids buy in.
Speaker 5: You know, you got to buy in. You know, do
Speaker 5: we believe in what they're selling? And you know.
Speaker 7: I guess I witnessed want with coach Tomy when when
Speaker 7: you know, the Oregon State and taken over for Larry,
Speaker 7: and I saw it real early when Larry Larry got here.
Speaker 7: After you know this this short stint that Mason had,
Speaker 7: the guys were just ready to have have somebody new
Speaker 7: and different.
Speaker 2: Having been a quarterback coach here a few times, or
Speaker 2: at least one time, and then a wide receivers coach
Speaker 2: another time. What are your thoughts on Noah and his
Speaker 2: partner te Mec.
Speaker 7: Been together a long time. They've been together a long time.
Speaker 7: I flashed back.
Speaker 5: I know you guys will never remember the name read May.
Speaker 5: Read May was my high school junior high pop warner.
Speaker 7: We knew each other from the time about eight years
Speaker 7: eight years old, and he was a wide receiver, and
Speaker 7: we developed a continuity that I.
Speaker 5: Always knew where Reed was and he always knew where
Speaker 5: to be where he was supposed to be. I could
Speaker 5: find him and Noah and t Mac had that same dynamics.
Speaker 5: And tem Mac is a doll man. I mean, he's
Speaker 5: a real deal.
Speaker 7: For I coached he was a long time. He's he's
Speaker 7: one of the better ones we've had come through here.
Speaker 7: And Uh, for you, you need to you need him.
Speaker 7: You need to get him the ball more than six
Speaker 7: or seven times, at least target him more than six
Speaker 7: or seven times. But it's hard, you know, because other
Speaker 7: team's got coaches too, and they can at least stop
Speaker 7: t Mac and we'll stop their passing games.
Speaker 5: So you gotta and you gotta. You gotta build that around.
Speaker 7: And that's a special bond those two have together because
Speaker 7: you know, he spent me and Reed spent a lot
Speaker 7: of time working.
Speaker 5: Out together and we knew exactly what we're doing.
Speaker 7: And just a little shout out to Reeve. League's been
Speaker 7: the head coach at Brownstown Central and in Brownston, Indiana,
Speaker 7: and he won his three hundredth game last year and
Speaker 7: he's four and oh this year, so he's been to
Speaker 7: school for thirty years and he's won three hundred plus games.
Speaker 7: Three hundred games. It's like ten games a year in
Speaker 7: his coaching career.
Speaker 3: So I'm really proud of I say, I test my knowledge.
Speaker 3: He was he was number two? Was he did you
Speaker 3: have number two?
Speaker 5: It might have been one, might have been, but he.
Speaker 7: Was a little bit of guy nine, slot receiver, slot receiver,
Speaker 7: punt returner. I remember that guy smartest could be. Could
Speaker 7: you know you're telling you know, line up here and
Speaker 7: you know exactly what to do and that position flexibility
Speaker 7: was was important.
Speaker 2: So just real quick to ruminiss Mike Flores wanted to
Speaker 2: say hello. He saw that we were going to come on,
Speaker 2: came on on Twitter and said, hey, looking forward to
Speaker 2: the car.

Speaker 3: we want to review so fiery Tennessee. Well yet so
Speaker 3: Tennessee announced.
Speaker 4: I believe either yesterday or today this is hitting the
Speaker 4: news today. I didn't see it that they're raising ticket
Speaker 4: prices football ticket prices in twenty for twenty twenty five,
Speaker 4: so next year fourteen and a half percent. But they're
Speaker 4: breaking it out to say that four and a half
Speaker 4: percent is sort of an average increase that they have
Speaker 4: to do to cover costs and YadA, YadA, YadA, but
Speaker 4: that ten percent is considered a quote unquote talent fee.
Speaker 4: So that's it's it's something to pay their players. So
Speaker 4: what they're doing is they're saying, Okay, we're gonna we're
Speaker 4: gonna pay players competitively. You know, they're talking about this
Speaker 4: twenty two million dollars. It's part of this house settlement
Speaker 4: and all that stuff. So we're you know, we're but
Speaker 4: we're gonna raise it through ticket prices and we're gonna
Speaker 4: and we're gonna get everybody's gonna chip into this, whether
Speaker 4: you like it or not.
Speaker 3: Okay, you just if you.
Speaker 4: Got to, if you're gonna buy, if you want to
Speaker 4: come to the games, you're gonna pay for the players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let me ask you this, because I don't
Speaker 2: know the structure. They're gonna raise prices to do it
Speaker 2: that way. So Arizona has the same conditions, right, twenty
Speaker 2: two twenty two million, what right? So they could do
Speaker 2: it that way is that part of it or they're
Speaker 2: gonna do it some of the way.
Speaker 3: So let me say this to you.
Speaker 2: I'll let you actually in the second So in the
Speaker 2: last few days, Uh, a booster at least who's been
Speaker 2: a booster for a while now has nice season tickets
Speaker 2: in the Sands Club and all that said to me,
Speaker 2: did you know that they're asking fans now to pay
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Just just easy really nearly just to help, you know,
Speaker 2: get better players. I think that's how they praised it.
Speaker 2: This is how the world is now these days, and
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And I'm thinking I asked him, would
Speaker 2: you do it? And he says, well, I'll think about it,
Speaker 2: but just.
Speaker 4: What that's how it is, right, you and I mean
Speaker 4: you and I don't have five thousand dollars, But they're
Speaker 4: going to their donor rate sure for this, Whereas what
Speaker 4: what Tennessee is saying is that we're not you know,
Speaker 4: they're they're they're talking about donor fatigue, and so they're saying, Okay,
Speaker 4: we can't keep asking question donors to foot this bill.
Speaker 4: So they're basically saying, if you want to come and
Speaker 4: see our games, you got to pay for some you
Speaker 4: got to help us pay pay the players.
Speaker 3: You know what their secret is. One hundred thousand people,
Speaker 3: right and they're good and they're good. They're good right
Speaker 3: now right.
Speaker 4: Okay, if you're in Arizona and they told you after
Speaker 4: Saturday's a game, guess what ticket prices are going up
Speaker 4: next year?
Speaker 3: And you know my tickets the.
Speaker 4: What do you the Waldcat Club Themount I think is
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty dollars like that maybe particket per ticket,
Speaker 4: you know, so that if there's to the price in
Speaker 4: addition to the cost of the ticket.
Speaker 3: So basically, if they say, okay, we're.
Speaker 4: Going to raise uh, you know you're going to pay
Speaker 4: another twenty five bucks on top of an increase in
Speaker 4: the price, that you'll do it. Yeah, I'm going to
Speaker 4: do that. But you know, if you're buying those ten
Speaker 4: thousand dollars skybox seats or fifty thousand dollars skybox seats
Speaker 4: or whatever, and you're giving money in all these other places,
Speaker 4: what are you going to do?
Speaker 5: What do you going?
Speaker 4: Okay, you know I brought I brought this name up
Speaker 4: and you know what, you know, I've always been that way.
Speaker 4: Don't pick on the kids because but not that these
Speaker 4: kids are making so much damn money, I'm picking on them.
Speaker 3: No, No, we talked about this month, and I'm picking
Speaker 3: on DJ Yu Young Gallele.
Speaker 4: Okay, the quarterback who started at Clemson came to Oregon State.
Speaker 4: We saw him all last year, never was impressed with
Speaker 4: him one time that I saw him play. Florida State
Speaker 4: decided to take a chance on him, and Florida State
Speaker 4: brings him in as the as the guy who's gonna
Speaker 4: take him to the Promised Land after going twelve to
Speaker 4: oh last year and probably giving him I think I
Speaker 4: don't know if I since they probably I think I
Speaker 4: saw he's getting. He's got a seven figure nil deal
Speaker 4: going and he's terrible, and they're zero and three. And
Speaker 4: if you're a booster that that got asked for money
Speaker 4: to help us get DJ, how are you feeling right now?
Speaker 3: Like crap? Like buyers?
Speaker 4: Do you want to go to the athletic directors say
Speaker 4: give me my damn money back?
Speaker 2: You probably want to, but you probably can't because you
Speaker 2: saw you probably can't.
Speaker 4: But but okay, but the next time they come and
Speaker 4: ask for money like that, what.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Hell no, hell no, Again, that's what I'm saying. Are
Speaker 2: they getting paid upfront or on the back end? Because again,
Speaker 2: if you're paying me a lot of money, what do
Speaker 2: I have to do to get the buddy? You know,
Speaker 2: I've already got the money. I stick the kid from
Speaker 2: Oklahoma two years ago, the quarterbacks who got two cars
Speaker 2: got two cars left, and then because he was horrible,
Speaker 2: it was terrible. Hey, it's a weird world we're in
Speaker 2: in college football, in college athletics.
Speaker 3: Because people are raised and tickets.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't get it, Jay, And it's not
Speaker 2: gonna change though.
Speaker 3: I don't know how. I don't know how you sustain it. Okay,
Speaker 3: So let me ask you this.
Speaker 2: Don't you think Tucson, Tucson in general, that's all the
Speaker 2: one in generalize are more like you and me than
Speaker 2: like the hoity toity people.
Speaker 3: Who have money. Oh yeah, So, how how are you
Speaker 3: gonna How are you gonna find five thousand dollars? How

Speaker 4: sponsors are local companies?

Speaker 3: to year? How do you do that? Yeah? Go ahead,
Speaker 3: all right, we got a collar.
Speaker 15: Hi.
Speaker 3: You're on the air and I on the ball.
Speaker 15: Hey, it's us Goode.
Speaker 3: Who is this? We broke up? You're breaking up a
Speaker 3: little bit? Loop? Well loop? Did you see who he was? Okay,
Speaker 3: now we can Yes.
Speaker 15: Okay, it's who's your Tommy?
Speaker 3: Sue? How are you good? Tommy? How are you?
Speaker 17: I have one important question about the football team that
Speaker 17: I haven't heard the answer to yet.
Speaker 15: Maybe you guys have covered it.
Speaker 3: If we have the answer, they've got a big problem. Okay,
Speaker 3: go ahead.
Speaker 17: The thing I need to know is what in the
Speaker 17: world is this green plant or green snake or whatever
Speaker 17: coach Bennon has around.
Speaker 4: His new those are those are it's a it's a
Speaker 4: lay and it's a traditional Hawaiian lay, and the it's
Speaker 4: it's a it's a you know, in the Polynesian culture,
Speaker 4: it's sort of a a.
Speaker 3: Thing of.
Speaker 4: Sort of an honor if somebody gives you one, and
Speaker 4: and sort of you know, and with all the Polynesian
Speaker 4: players in particular nor Fafieda and and and team AC,
Speaker 4: I think it's Norma's grandmother. Yeah, one of the one
Speaker 4: of the grandmothers of either nor Fafeeda or tam Mac
Speaker 4: gives these to the coaches and and they're like, if
Speaker 4: they if no Fafita's grandma is giving me this, I'm
Speaker 4: wearing it. But it's a it's a it's it's a
Speaker 4: traditional it's a it's a Polynesian custom to to wear
Speaker 4: these in you know, times of honor or whatever. And
Speaker 4: so their gifts to the coaching staff, and the coaching staff,
Speaker 4: not wanting to piss off families, is wearing them and
Speaker 4: so and you know, I mean, I think Brandon's basically
Speaker 4: said one of his press costumes said, if if if
Speaker 4: Noah's grandmother is giving me.
Speaker 3: This, I'm wearing it. No apologies, right, and no apologies.
Speaker 4: And look, if anybody thinks that that has anything to
Speaker 4: do with how they're.
Speaker 3: Coaching, you know, So tell me why did you bring
Speaker 3: it up?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you feel like there's something to it?
Speaker 17: No, I when I'm watching the game, I'm I'm I
Speaker 17: can't tell if that's a green plant or a green
Speaker 17: snake or.
Speaker 15: Around his neck. And I didn't know that.
Speaker 17: I didn't know the background on it, and I thought,
Speaker 17: you know what, what the heck is going on?
Speaker 3: And can it's.
Speaker 4: It's folly, it's it's a you know, it's it's it's
Speaker 4: a it's a.
Speaker 3: Lay with you know. That's what they look like.
Speaker 4: They vary from like the one, the one that they
Speaker 4: gave him for the for the opener was a big
Speaker 4: fat thing. Maybe he said, look, you know, I'll wear it,
Speaker 4: but I can't have something that heavy hanging around my
Speaker 4: neck while I'm trying to run up and down the sidelines.
Speaker 4: So they've kind of toned them down a little bit.
Speaker 4: But it's sort of a there's some honor honor to
Speaker 4: it and some uh I don't know if there's a
Speaker 4: good you get good mojo from it or whatever. But
Speaker 4: more than anything, if it makes the star players, families
Speaker 4: on the team happy he's wearing it.
Speaker 15: I have no problem with it. Can I order one online?
Speaker 4: You there's places you can get them, you know, I
Speaker 4: honestly I I remember being able to order one for
Speaker 4: my daughter for her college graduation. Yeah, there's places you
Speaker 4: can order those. You can probably order them here in Tucson.
Speaker 3: Tommy, let me ask you, are you are you a booster?
Speaker 3: Are you a.
Speaker 15: For Arizona for India.
Speaker 3: Oh both, yeah, either or both.
Speaker 17: I'm a very small booster for Indiana. That's my alma mater,
Speaker 17: and I root for Arizona unless they're playing Indiana. But
Speaker 17: I haven't contributed to Arizona at this point.
Speaker 3: What you have for Indiana? And then how's that going?
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 15: Well, I mean you you want to win and you
Speaker 15: want to contribute, so I feel okay about it.
Speaker 17: I'm not giving tens of thousands of dollars, so I'm
Speaker 17: just I'm just doing what I can from here in Tucson.
Speaker 15: But you know, right, you know, we look pretty good.
Speaker 17: Against UCLA Cincinnati Signati looks.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 17: He came in saying a lot of brash and bold
Speaker 17: things and so far has proven it.
Speaker 15: But we're only three games in.
Speaker 17: So tradition of Indiana football says, let's let's talk again
Speaker 17: after we played eight or nine games.
Speaker 4: That sounds like, all right, thank you so.
Speaker 3: Much, appreciate the keep calling.
Speaker 15: All right, I have a good dad.
Speaker 4: I've had people say to me, why did he take
Speaker 4: those damn things off? I know, I'm like, what do
Speaker 4: you think he's the worst coach if he doesn't have
Speaker 4: him on.
Speaker 3: He has n't if he's wearing one.
Speaker 2: And it's not like he hasn't heard that already, because
Speaker 2: he didn't. He brought it up and he and he says,
Speaker 2: if they want me to word, I'm gonna work. So
Speaker 2: he he's heard the stuff. You're here, because why else
Speaker 2: would he say I'm not taking it off unless they
Speaker 2: stopped giving it to which of course, you know you
Speaker 2: can appease the players right right, And look if and
Speaker 2: the and the and the grandma mean no, no, it's
Speaker 2: a non issue.
Speaker 3: It is. It's well, you know, when you're losing, you fight, right,
Speaker 3: you find anything you know to pick on.
Speaker 2: The super bottle, I was dating, what's up that pimple
Speaker 2: you have? Like you know, you know you're drinking soda
Speaker 2: times dying?
Speaker 3: Did you hear that the booster busses ran into each other?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's how bad it got. That's it was
Speaker 2: probably the first block they had all night.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what can go wrong? Just so bad? It's
Speaker 3: just those things that happened.
Speaker 2: They just I think from from your fan perspective and everybody,
Speaker 2: they've got to get better, fewer turnover, fewer penalties, just
Speaker 2: get better.
Speaker 3: And look like they right. The frustrating thing of all
Speaker 3: of those is the penalties. Yeah, and I was no question.
Speaker 4: I was pulling my hair out on that drive where
Speaker 4: they had they all of a sudden they're there, you know,
Speaker 4: have a second and thirty because they had three penalties
Speaker 4: on back to back to back plays and I'm like,
Speaker 4: what the hell are you doing? Yeah, what the hell.
Speaker 3: Are ye especially the same ones. I'm not sure that
Speaker 3: the same all those holding penalties that they had.
Speaker 2: And it's crazy those ones that have got me in
Speaker 2: the first part with the personal fouls, the just one
Speaker 2: those cleared up right, yeah, the after the whistle files,
Speaker 2: but all these holding penalties and stuff that they had
Speaker 2: was just it was just nuts.
Speaker 4: It just just drives you crazy. Okay, let's take this call.
Speaker 4: You're on the air and eye on the ball.
Speaker 18: Hey guys, this is done. How you doing good?
Speaker 3: Don You got about uh two minutes? Two minutes?
Speaker 18: Okay, Well, now that the football season is over, what
Speaker 18: go why?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 18: Why do we think that the basketball season is going
Speaker 18: to be any better?
Speaker 4: Don You're in the dumbs man, Holy cow.
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm not.
Speaker 18: I mean that every everywhere I read, everything I saw,
Speaker 18: we had no shot last week. Even you guys were
Speaker 18: down in the dumps about it. Well, if they can
Speaker 18: play well, which they didn't, you know, but again, new coaches,
Speaker 18: new schemes, still getting to know each other. I think
Speaker 18: everything that was out there for him is still out
Speaker 18: there for him.
Speaker 4: But well, well let me let me say this. And
Speaker 4: we brought it up with a little bit with Mark Lunsford.
Speaker 4: You know, Dick Tomy's first season, and I remember having
Speaker 4: this conversation with him with Dick the next year when
Speaker 4: I was covering the team, and I asked him because
Speaker 4: down the stretch, after getting off to not a great start,
Speaker 4: they beat Stanford, tiede Washington, lost a very close game
Speaker 4: to USC and then tight ASU And I said, what
Speaker 4: something changed, something turned, And he talked about that Washington
Speaker 4: State game. They'd gone up to Pullman, they got beat
Speaker 4: forty five to twenty eight, and in the aftermath of that,
Speaker 4: and that's the point that I was trying to make
Speaker 4: with Mark Lunsford. He said, that's when the team kind
Speaker 4: of got together and realized this is the way it is,
Speaker 4: so we've got to make the best of what we've got.
Speaker 4: And from that point on, you know, the team was
Speaker 4: sort of all on the same page finally, and it
Speaker 4: took a transition. Even though Dick's a good guy, Larry
Speaker 4: Smith was a good guy, they were coming off a
Speaker 4: good season, there's still a transition. And that's what I
Speaker 4: was trying to get out with Mark, and that they
Speaker 4: took a beating against Washington State and came back from
Speaker 4: that trip and kind of fixed everything. You kind of
Speaker 4: hope this is that game where they can kind of
Speaker 4: look at themselves and fix things.
Speaker 3: I don't know, hopefully.
Speaker 18: I mean, I think that football is so much more
Speaker 18: sophisticated nowadays that maybe these guys can don't have to
Speaker 18: wait till the middle end of the season before it
Speaker 18: does start clicking, you know, because you know, the players
Speaker 18: are getting used to the coaches, the coaches are also
Speaker 18: getting used to the players.
Speaker 5: And I just.
Speaker 18: I'm still optimistic. I just like to be pessimistic.
Speaker 5: On the radio.
Speaker 19: Yeah, all right, don we appreciate. We got to go.
Speaker 19: We've got top of the hour. Do you sound too
Speaker 19: much like me? Stop it don't sound like that. Have
Speaker 19: a good one, Thanks you too.
Speaker 3: We gotta go.
Speaker 4: All right, we got to hit the road. Top of
Speaker 4: the hour. We're gonna get back here. With Ryan and
Speaker 4: he's gonna have some breaking news for us.
