Speaker 1: Yeah, they are, and and and again it's not it's tourism,
Speaker 1: it's film. A lot of things that they're doing, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, we know they're trying to get some spring
Speaker 1: training in some form back here. Uh you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think i'd ever heard the story or how close
Speaker 1: we were to getting You know, there's really a good
Speaker 1: core of spring training teams that would be here and
Speaker 1: would still be here that I think this community can support.
Speaker 1: But they just uh you know when it when it
Speaker 1: went south and went south fast, right, yeah, no question.
Speaker 2: So they're doing good work there now, oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: well now there's more to be done, right right. So
Speaker 2: we're here at the casino. RELs Sold Sports. If you
Speaker 2: want to come down, we have an hour. In fact,
Speaker 2: we have one of our listeners, one of our callers, Brian.
Speaker 2: How you doing, Brian?
Speaker 1: Pretty good? Pretty good? Any new questions for you? You
Speaker 1: called in yesterday.
Speaker 2: You've been pretty pragmatic with the team, and I think
Speaker 2: I asked you yesterday if you had season tickets and
Speaker 2: you don't, but you go, right, you go, And that's
Speaker 2: how you support the team.
Speaker 1: Right. I see him every time. I think he crawls
Speaker 1: in under the fence is what he does is he
Speaker 1: and his son Adam, they worked away and under the
Speaker 1: fence somewhere.
Speaker 3: We always go check out Jay's tailgate exactly.
Speaker 1: We get there. Are you doing that TOMORROWGT. We haven't
Speaker 1: given it up yet, man.
Speaker 2: Okay, because you you didn't do it last time you
Speaker 2: were at the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Right right, there was no tailgate because I'm the one
Speaker 1: that brings in all the stuff and we were we
Speaker 1: had gone to uh uh la. So okay, but tomorrow, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: there's a mighty no. Well we'll be there tomorrow for
Speaker 1: the Houston game, eight fifteen game. But Brian, okay, Brian,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind about where's your mind at on
Speaker 1: the Cats tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: They got a game against Houston, a game that you
Speaker 1: think Arizona should win their favorite bad point and a half.
Speaker 3: Well, they may be favored by a point and a half,
Speaker 3: but I don't know. It's I know the last time
Speaker 3: they had to buy, they won a game. You can't
Speaker 3: have a buy every other week.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, How disappointed are you?
Speaker 3: I think more shock and only in the fact that
Speaker 3: maybe I, like everybody else, bought into it that we
Speaker 3: were going to be much better than we really are
Speaker 3: only for the fact everybody who came back and not
Speaker 3: realizing that even though we did get Faffita at McMillan back,
Speaker 3: but we didn't get a lot of other pieces back,
Speaker 3: and those two pieces can't win all your.
Speaker 1: Games for you. Well, I'm just disappointed in the fact
Speaker 1: that this became that season that Arizona always has after
Speaker 1: the ten min season exactly we talked, that's the part
Speaker 1: that's disappointed. Whatever all the reasons are for that, well,
Speaker 1: you know, and there are a lot of them. Well,
Speaker 1: but just the fact that we did it again. Well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you this, because I was there with you.
Speaker 1: You asked the question of Akina at that luncheon that
Speaker 1: we had in the preseason. He explained the ninety nine
Speaker 1: year I think that was what do you think he
Speaker 1: would say now? I think he would say a lot
Speaker 1: of the same things, that there are some pieces that
Speaker 1: didn't come together, whether it's a specific players, you know,
Speaker 1: the coaching, the coaching change, and the system change and
Speaker 1: all these things that you know, those guys that you know,
Speaker 1: the coaches, the guys with the head headsets on the
Speaker 1: guys on the sidelines, they know all these things that
Speaker 1: are happening to their team. We as fans don't know, right,
Speaker 1: we don't know how much how hard it was to
Speaker 1: replace Jordan Morgan as a left tackle.
Speaker 3: Right and also too and the running back situation, the
Speaker 3: running back situation that one guy and they can bust
Speaker 3: the play and get us five six yards at a time.
Speaker 2: You had that guy kind of no the first the
Speaker 2: first one, you had the new Mexico kid kid they
Speaker 2: got in Olige War.
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, they have no idea what happened
Speaker 1: to you. But yeah, think about last year. You know,
Speaker 1: Michael Wiley was was the starter, and then Jonah Coleman
Speaker 1: comes along. Also they got these this this one two
Speaker 1: punch of running back that there was always a really
Speaker 1: good running back in the game. And look, I know
Speaker 1: the guys that that Arizona has this year, they're they're decent, guys,
Speaker 1: are good, they're they're players, but they're not Jonah Coleman.
Speaker 3: They're not Michael Wiley. We also didn't have that extra
Speaker 3: receiver like rightwing last year, and that made a huge
Speaker 3: difference because it took all that pressure off a team.
Speaker 1: Ac I think that's the thing that the one thing
Speaker 1: that even the people who think that that Brent Brendan's
Speaker 1: a terrible coach. That they say, well, there is that, right,
Speaker 1: the fact that we didn't understand how big a deal
Speaker 1: Jacob Cowing was and how much better he made. You know, Timmy,
Speaker 1: you look at you still look at what t Max
Speaker 1: done this year. He's still been really, really, really good.
Speaker 1: He's still going to be, you know, probably a top
Speaker 1: ten draft pick without a guy to take the heat
Speaker 1: off of him. Right, it's truly difficult.
Speaker 3: If a lot of times you'll watch the plays and
Speaker 3: the past will come to McMillan and he'll catch it somehow,
Speaker 3: and there's four guys right there all over him. And
Speaker 3: you know, being six or five does help and can
Speaker 3: jump out of the of the stadium.
Speaker 1: But you know, five years down the road, we'll hear
Speaker 1: what the story really was. Right, Well, maybe sooner than that, maybe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You hear rumors, You hear all these things.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, when there are rumors and we talk
Speaker 2: about this, you know, go with what you know, and
Speaker 2: now what rumored are what the rumors are.
Speaker 1: So I think he'll be back. He'll definitely be back.
Speaker 1: And you know, some of those folks who are out
Speaker 1: there saying that he should be or may get fired.
Speaker 1: Shake yourselves. Okay, you know a couple of guys in
Speaker 1: the media who are just really pounding on that to say,
Speaker 1: you know that he should be fired. You don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you do not know what's going on back there.
Speaker 1: And so look, is a three and six record, you
Speaker 1: know something that you can do here and you're and
Speaker 1: keep your job. Absolutely not. But we don't know yet.
Speaker 1: We still don't know how good a coach Brent Brandan is.
Speaker 1: You know, he may we know, he may be doing
Speaker 1: an incredible job. You know, he may be doing better
Speaker 1: than he should be doing. I doubt it, but thank you,
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 3: You know, gonna need to at the end of the
Speaker 3: season take a deep look at himself, right and I'm
Speaker 3: going to find a brand new coaching staff. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: did not have the pick of the letter and the
Speaker 3: coaching staff, and he was hired.
Speaker 1: But we all thought he got guys. I think Duana
Speaker 1: Keene is a good coach. I think Diano Babers is
Speaker 1: still a good coach. I think he was a good
Speaker 1: pick for that one because of his head coaching experience
Speaker 1: to help Brent Brannan come in here and run a program.
Speaker 1: And second, the guy was a very good offensive coach
Speaker 1: when last time he was here. Yeah, so you know,
Speaker 1: you don't you just we just don't know. And and look,
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not sitting here saying that I'm one
Speaker 1: hundred percent certain that Brent Brennan is going to be
Speaker 1: a really good football coach at Arizona. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Also that he should be cashiered after one year. Well,
Speaker 1: I know he shouldn't be, but we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens down the road. They just need
Speaker 1: to get better, they do. You know, they really need
Speaker 1: to come out tomorrow and show that they've done something
Speaker 1: to right this ship even a little bit. And and
Speaker 1: by that, I mean they need to win this game
Speaker 1: tomorrow otherwise, Well, how many times have you said that?
Speaker 1: Here's the We've been saying it all year.
Speaker 2: Here's the problem to both of you guys, and I've
Speaker 2: said this in the show a lot since we saw
Speaker 2: you last.
Speaker 1: It's the performance level. They're getting blown out.
Speaker 2: Uh and this this if this team had anything of
Speaker 2: gun us or you know what I'm saying, Jay, you know,
Speaker 2: some over move, they wouldn't be.
Speaker 1: Getting blown out yet no, you're right, and that's disturb
Speaker 1: scary part. That's the disturbing. The disturbing scary part is
Speaker 1: that they're not just losing. They're getting beat the hell
Speaker 1: by teams that aren't so good. If they were.
Speaker 2: Losing by four in a field goal late league game whatever. Okay,
Speaker 2: you say, okay, they're almost there, but but they're not
Speaker 2: even doing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't even one of their problems too. You
Speaker 3: look at when someone's in there in a long time.
Speaker 3: You got the same guys playing constantly. We have no
Speaker 3: depth whatsoever, zero, and that really does hurt, like you know.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's the big that's that's the main problem
Speaker 1: with this team. It didn't have any depth. It needed
Speaker 1: to get through the year without a bunch of injuries.
Speaker 1: And not only did guys get hurt, primary main guys
Speaker 1: got hurt, leaders got hurt, Your best players got hurt.
Speaker 1: And that's that's you know again, you have to factor
Speaker 1: that in and and you know, for you to say, well,
Speaker 1: you you lose all those guys, but you should still
Speaker 1: keep winning games. Well, Arizona's not that program. Arizona doesn't have,
Speaker 1: you know, another four star sitting on the bench. And
Speaker 1: they can. It's never been that program. You know. Look,
Speaker 1: you know, look look at what's happened to Georgia, right
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know they're not you know,
Speaker 1: they've lost a couple of games. You know, look at Michigan.
Speaker 1: It was national champion last year. Just look at them.
Speaker 1: Look in Florida State, you know, Florida. So look, you
Speaker 1: know this. These things happen a lot and a lot
Speaker 1: of times. They happen when they're unexpected. I'm defending this
Speaker 1: coaching staff to the point of they need more time.
Speaker 2: Right. I asked, last time we were here, we had
Speaker 2: Lamont only here and I asked him, point blank, does
Speaker 2: he think that this program, and he was in the program,
Speaker 2: does this thing, this program is hunted or cursed?
Speaker 1: Cursed? Jay?
Speaker 2: I know we believe because I've read books about it.
Speaker 2: I've read, I've heard, I've heard I've read books about it.
Speaker 2: There's something in there. And then every how, first time
Speaker 2: is a mistake, second time is a start, you know,
Speaker 2: kind of a habit. A third time, this is the
Speaker 2: fourth time that this has happened. You win big and
Speaker 2: then it's then and it's all gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess we should be happy. Four times we
Speaker 3: won ten games.
Speaker 1: Well better than three times.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, because some schools don't get any Yeah,
Speaker 3: and and and again, the disappointing piece of this is,
Speaker 3: you know, you get you get a season like that,
Speaker 3: You get up there, and all you want is continuity success.
Speaker 1: You just wanted to keep. You wanted to continue, not
Speaker 1: that you're going to win ten games every year, but
Speaker 1: that you're going to be at that level every year
Speaker 1: to possibly do that. I don't know if this was
Speaker 1: and it just hasn't happened. I don't know if this
Speaker 1: was asking much for me. Eight wins. You said eight,
Speaker 1: I said eight, Ryan, I don't know what you said
Speaker 1: at the beginning of or eight, seven or eight. I
Speaker 1: think we all did. Right now, you're killing for eight
Speaker 1: or seven, killing for five. I mean, I've got to
Speaker 1: be realistic.
Speaker 3: There's not going to be a Bowl game, true, true,
Speaker 3: you know, I can't see us win maybe one out
Speaker 3: of the next street tomorrow that might be the one,
Speaker 3: but after that, I'm not real confident of it anymore.
Speaker 1: Wins. Even as pathetic as it sounds, I told my
Speaker 1: son I wasn't going to go to the ACU game.
Speaker 1: Here is Yeah, what. I just told him I wasn't
Speaker 1: going to go, and he said, I said, don't be
Speaker 1: that fan. I said, I'm gonna. I'm gonna go, both
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 2: Because we talked about this with with Troy yesterday and
Speaker 2: we've said it a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's attendance. What is it? Oh, thirty eight?
Speaker 2: Oh, you're generous. We talked about thirty. They're gonna announce
Speaker 2: thirty nine forty.
Speaker 3: Maybe by the second half people will show up because
Speaker 3: the basketball game will be over.
Speaker 1: There's so many things going on. I don't know if
Speaker 1: this is uh common knowledge, but it's my understanding. They're
Speaker 1: gonna put the game on. They've announced it. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: did announce it. Okay, yeah, yeah, they're gonna do it's
Speaker 1: the first half, first half of the first half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go. We're game. Are you saying thirty
Speaker 1: eight legit or thirty? I said that's the intendanct'll announced tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I bet I bet to be. But I still think
Speaker 1: they'll be thirty five there. Oh, I don't see more
Speaker 1: than thirty. They've given up. I think they've given up.
Speaker 1: You'll know about your your your tailgate? Yeah, well yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you know, we're we're gonna we're gonna show
Speaker 1: up at a tailgate at five o'clock. Normally get there, you know,
Speaker 1: quite a bit earlier. But we'll see where we land
Speaker 1: on the on the lawn out there, if we're still
Speaker 1: on the if we're still on the Michael lawn, showing
Speaker 1: up at five o'clock, it's a it's a very low crowd.
Speaker 1: But it's also Friday, you know. Yeah, I mean like
Speaker 1: like we're we're tailgating just because you do. We didn't
Speaker 1: tailgate the last game, and you do it, and we're
Speaker 1: going to and there's only one more game after this,
Speaker 1: and we just you know, let's show up. Let's put

Speaker 2: to me, the pieces fit. What do you like about it?
Speaker 2: Whether that's good enough to win the Big twelve or
Speaker 2: get to the Final four, I don't know, but it
Speaker 2: just just it's just fit. You gotta love the backcourt
Speaker 2: with with the kJ and Jayden and love right those
Speaker 2: three guys, and then whatever he does with with a
Speaker 2: Waka and and Crevas and Henry and Townsend.
Speaker 1: So there's another good group.
Speaker 2: And then you have the shooter Deloro coming up, and
Speaker 2: then and then you have Martinez who may or may
Speaker 2: not play. It's just like the pieces fit. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that's what I really like about it. It seems like interchangeable. Again,
Speaker 2: I don't know how good that's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Well, the thing that I think that so many people
Speaker 1: are saying about this team is is that it's physical.
Speaker 1: They've had to improve their physicality. They've got by that.
Speaker 1: By that, I mean the guys, the guys under the
Speaker 1: basket playing the four and five positions, with the exception
Speaker 1: of Henry Vasar, are bigger, thicker, right, They're not getting
Speaker 1: pushed around. Tobyo Waka is a beast under that. He's huge.
Speaker 1: You know, a guy like him, you know tray townsend
Speaker 1: out on the wing, you know, playing the three in
Speaker 1: the four again, he can he can hit shots, but
Speaker 1: he'll get in there and he'll get a rebound or
Speaker 1: if he takes it to the hole. You know, he's
Speaker 1: a load, you know. And then you know, we've only
Speaker 1: got We've only been able to see Crevius a couple
Speaker 1: of times, but man, he's gotten bigger. Wall He walks
Speaker 1: on the court and you go, holy hell, how does
Speaker 1: a person get that big Finland Sweden. He should be.
Speaker 1: He's a big, big boy. He's skilled right now. I
Speaker 1: think we're still seeing he's still got to get a
Speaker 1: little tougher.
Speaker 2: Tougher right right. I think he's it needs to be
Speaker 2: more skilled too, right. The guy that I think that
Speaker 2: is is Henry, who fills in very fluid for six
Speaker 2: eleven seven.
Speaker 1: He did a nice spin move in one of the
Speaker 1: two games, and I'm like, okay, we're you know who
Speaker 1: does that? We haven't seen that since s Laurie Markin.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you right? No, no, kind of
Speaker 2: kind of a similar player, not as good. But I
Speaker 2: asked Tommy this and asked him, Uh, Henry, this wasn't
Speaker 2: a blessing this in this guy's that he sat out
Speaker 2: last year because he would have been third year player
Speaker 2: now with with with not much then, because he wouldn't
Speaker 2: have played the must Now he's got a year where
Speaker 2: he had the gains, strengthen them and muscle and all
Speaker 2: that stuff, and he got to watch. Now he's got
Speaker 2: those skills coming back for a second.
Speaker 1: Year, and he's gonna be key because he brings in, uh,
Speaker 1: the element of the big guy who can step out
Speaker 1: top of the key, hit some threes. You can't. You
Speaker 1: have to guard him, right, You can't ignore him when
Speaker 1: he goes out there. Uh you know, you can ignore
Speaker 1: crevious when he goes out there, but you can't ignore him.
Speaker 1: You know. If you're gonna let him shoot the open three,
Speaker 1: he's going to make a bunch of those.
Speaker 2: Arizona hasn't hit had him since this name. But I
Speaker 2: say this cruct grand Jarrett. He came in here and
Speaker 2: he left right away, and he's think, what the hell
Speaker 2: you thinking? But he could he can stretch you out.
Speaker 2: He did, You can stretch you out right, it's almost
Speaker 2: ten years ago. Yeah, No, I think that he's a
Speaker 2: he's a guy that uh again, he's good. As you
Speaker 2: said that, there's all these roles that need to be
Speaker 2: played for for a team to be really good, and
Speaker 2: it looks like they've got a lot of those roles
Speaker 2: filled right.
Speaker 1: Uh you know again, a walka was a beat in
Speaker 1: the last game. I mean, he just just get the
Speaker 1: hell out of my way. Sure I'm getting this rebound,
Speaker 1: you know. And he's not a big tall guy. Just
Speaker 1: he takes up a lot of space and you're not
Speaker 1: going to move him. Much. No.
Speaker 2: I think that Tommy really kind of looked at the
Speaker 2: team and says, what do I need one to get tougher, stronger,
Speaker 2: got him and just fit the pieces that needed to
Speaker 2: be fit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he found him. We'll see and again, you know,
Speaker 1: the competition hasn't been great. You know, they got Wisconsin
Speaker 1: coming up on Saturday. Excuse me, tomorrow. We'll see. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see this game. Look, I watched the
Speaker 1: Duke Kentucky game to try and see guys. Now only
Speaker 1: saw the second half to try and see guys and
Speaker 1: how Arizona would match up against guys. They'll fit, they'll fit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have guys.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona wins, maybe by nine
Speaker 2: to ten. I would pick him to win, whatever the spread. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because it's at home, and Duke is. It's November. What
Speaker 2: does it really matter?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but do Duke was in and I had Kentucky
Speaker 2: winning Monday. I think it was Monday because just because, uh,
Speaker 2: but Duke is.
Speaker 1: It's the name again, right right, look, and and and
Speaker 1: and and Cooper Flag is good. He's a really good player.
Speaker 1: And the other kid too, very young, you know, And
Speaker 1: and and you could it seemed like the weight of
Speaker 1: the magnitude of the game may have gotten to him. Uh,
Speaker 1: particularly that that last minute he turned the ball over
Speaker 1: a couple of times where it's kind of like, I've
Speaker 1: got to do this when you really shouldn't be putting
Speaker 1: that on that kid. No matter how good you are,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to be the guy.
Speaker 3: They also watching the Duke game. I'm watching it, and
Speaker 3: their depth is not what we have. Their depth is
Speaker 3: not what we have. I really feel that our three
Speaker 3: wingmen kJ and and j and Bradley fit very well together.
Speaker 3: And I know people were upset that love came back
Speaker 3: and we lost the kid, the five star, But what
Speaker 3: would you rather have the twelve player of the year
Speaker 3: or some kid you have no no idea And he's
Speaker 3: going to be going in the year when he was
Speaker 3: dumb enough to go to ASU.
Speaker 2: Well, so you so you asked, you talked about the
Speaker 2: flag being a freshman and getting putting too much on
Speaker 2: his shoulder. You know what I thought, right away? Noah, yeah, noah,
Speaker 2: y where he's putting too much on his shoulder right
Speaker 2: so to get out of to be the guy and
Speaker 2: he's doing.
Speaker 1: Into worse situations because he wants to do too much. Right. No,
Speaker 1: I think that's it. That's that's a that's a real good,
Speaker 1: a real good comparison. But I think it showed on
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag because it was Kentucky, it was Madison Square Garden,
Speaker 1: it was Duke and it was all these things. And
Speaker 1: when he turned eighteen, I think yesterday or today. It's
Speaker 1: funny because he didn't they mentioned seventeen, like I think
Speaker 1: his birthday was. It was either yesterday or today and
Speaker 1: he's eighteen years old. It's like at seventeen years old, Steve, Again,
Speaker 1: we've talked about it. You were doing what chasing women?
Speaker 1: You know, you know you were chasing girls girls.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were also trying to be down, just like.
Speaker 3: So watching Cooper Flag play with But he's really good,
Speaker 3: he's really really good. But there's not a lot of
Speaker 3: complimentary players.
Speaker 1: The other freshman they had is pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yes they are, but they haven't gotten there yet. By
Speaker 3: the end of the season, playing this kind of schedule,
Speaker 3: they will be very good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Agree, it's gonna be It's gonna be a huge game,
Speaker 2: a fun game for sure. Late game, Yeah, we'll be
Speaker 2: there midnight or whatever. Are you writing it allore.
Speaker 1: You change your bail had on the Monday, I asked,
Speaker 1: And I had to bail next morning, Hans, the next morning.
Speaker 1: I know that That's what I was. No, I I
Speaker 1: had to bail. So many things going on, you didn't get.
Speaker 1: I didn't get on the bike hardly at all. I
Speaker 1: had this flood at my house. I've got, I've got.
Speaker 1: There were eight eight guys in our house today trying
Speaker 1: to rebuild our rebuild the interior of our house from
Speaker 1: this flood that we had a few weeks ago. So
Speaker 1: just too much stuff going on. Didn't get to it.
Speaker 1: I even, you know, I went to the gym, got
Speaker 1: on the stationary back a few times, and I was
Speaker 1: starting to you know, but I couldn't get the time
Speaker 1: to actually get on the bike, and so I had
Speaker 1: to bail. You don't want to do that, don't I know? Well,
Speaker 1: as I had a horrible nightmare about it, really, yeah
Speaker 1: I did. I had an actual nightmare of being in
Speaker 1: the race and nearly dying. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, so when I had that dream, I said, that's it.
Speaker 2: I'll give you my dreams. Last night I was we
Speaker 2: had a press conference and when Sean Miller was the
Speaker 2: guy that we were interviewing, and I asked him a
Speaker 2: question that he didn't like.
Speaker 1: He got up from his podium.
Speaker 2: He just left, And I think, why the hell would
Speaker 2: I be asking Sean Miller questions? And why would he leave?
Speaker 2: It was a tough question. He said, say hell with this,
Speaker 2: I just do that. And it felt so real that
Speaker 2: I was thinking, who do I need to apologize? No?
Speaker 1: I yeah, I had to bail. But you know again,
Speaker 1: it's always a great ev on something. I'm kind of
Speaker 1: sorry I didn't didn't get to it, but it just
Speaker 1: wasn't happening. It just didn't come together for me. You
Speaker 1: won't be with me tomorrow.
Speaker 2: But both you guys, Uh, it was gonna win football wise,
Speaker 2: it was gonna win basketball wise.
Speaker 1: Split tell me how basketball we win? You still think
Speaker 1: you're gonna loude to Houston? Yes, go sit over there,
Speaker 1: sit over there your time years O give me that microphone. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think Arizona wins both? Yeah? Both. What's gonna do
Speaker 1: it tomorrow? For? For football? Yeah? I think I think
Speaker 1: they're just gonna come out and play better and nothing else.
Speaker 1: Is it hopeful? You're hopeful? Or is it because it's
Speaker 1: just when you think about these guys hanging together for
Speaker 1: this season and all the stuff that they're going through.
Speaker 1: I just like to think that they say, Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: let's circle the wagons this time and let's get out
Speaker 1: there and just play better. That's it, play hard, play better, uh,
Speaker 1: and and win a game that you know, maybe we
Speaker 1: can finish out the season and feel good about ourselves.
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that this is a team that
Speaker 1: would do that and likes to think that some of
Speaker 1: the guys on the team are the types of guys
Speaker 1: that can lead that.
Speaker 2: See, and I don't feel that from you or what
Speaker 2: you're saying. If the opposite again, for the reason that
Speaker 2: if they were playing closer and tighter and this would get.
Speaker 1: Them over the over the hump. Yeah, they just haven't
Speaker 1: shown that to me.
Speaker 2: So you think, okay, it's like a horse and you
Speaker 2: read the form, they're just almost there almost they're playing
Speaker 2: against the team blah blah blah, but they're they're getting
Speaker 2: beat by ten lanks.
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't. I don't blame anybody who
Speaker 1: feels that way. Right, you have to feel that way
Speaker 1: because that's who they've been on right all season long.
Speaker 1: My approach or my way of thinking, uh, is that
Speaker 1: these guys are are athletes who who want to compete.
Speaker 1: They're they're unhappy with how things have turned out for
Speaker 1: them this year, and they don't have a lot left
Speaker 1: to play for, and that they're gonna hang on to
Speaker 1: hang on to that, and they're gonna have some pride
Speaker 1: and come out and play as best as they can
Speaker 1: and win a game and this end this losing streak
Speaker 1: and then give themselves a chance to again finish strong
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Ryan doesn't feel that well.
Speaker 3: One thing too, I don't know if all these injuries
Speaker 3: we've had on defense, how many of those guys are
Speaker 3: coming back because none of them. Okay, so you have
Speaker 3: one starter up in the first game, everybody else is gone. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and also too is okay it's great to say, yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, I want to win this game, but reality,
Speaker 3: he has to sink in.
Speaker 1: Maybe they are more talented than.
Speaker 3: Us, only for the sense they might have two or
Speaker 3: three guys deep in possession.
Speaker 2: We have one deep to give your momentum. Houston has momentum.
Speaker 2: They want three straight.
Speaker 1: I think it's well, yeah, but you know again, it's
Speaker 1: it's a matter of though, you know, these guys who
Speaker 1: have been playing because of the guys that gotten hurt,
Speaker 1: they're getting better every week. You'd think they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be there's they're supposed to be getting better every week
Speaker 1: they've they've had, they've had another buy to get more
Speaker 1: time on the field, to get more acclimated with each other,
Speaker 1: and I just I just as a fan, I have
Speaker 1: to have a belief that some of that is going
Speaker 1: to is going to take hold. Do I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna go six and six? No, I do not. You know,
Speaker 1: I have a hard time thinking they're gonna be TCU,
Speaker 1: and you know I have a hard time thinking they're
Speaker 1: gonna be ASUS. So this is sort of an opportunity
Speaker 1: for them. Let's get one and feel good about ourselves
Speaker 1: and then see what happens.
Speaker 2: I don't do this game very often, but let's do
Speaker 2: this hypothetically. If they go six and six, will this
Speaker 2: season be savage to a degree?
Speaker 1: I think I think people get off Brandon's back. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: there's that. And I think if they if they close
Speaker 1: out with three wins, now you've got some quote unquote
Speaker 1: momentum heading into the off season going into next year
Speaker 1: to feel good about yourself and say, okay, we rided
Speaker 1: the ship a little bit. Yeah, you know, Okay, we
Speaker 1: need to fill some pieces. You know, tamac is going
Speaker 1: to be gone. I mean he's going to be top
Speaker 1: ten draft pick. No, Iffita is not going anywhere right right,
Speaker 1: and neither's anybody else. Well we can assume other than
Speaker 1: guys who are out of eligibility. Now, you might lose
Speaker 1: some guys in the transfer port, sure, you know, but
Speaker 1: I imagine if Jacob monis, you know, he's got an injury,
Speaker 1: if he stays, if Fafita stays, key On Burnette stays,
Speaker 1: and there's some other guys from that whole group, those
Speaker 1: guys all stick around. I think they want to stick around.
Speaker 1: I would think again that their pride would say we're
Speaker 1: gonna come back here and we're going to fix this thing,
Speaker 1: you know, because they're athletes, and then say whereas if
Speaker 1: they scatter, you know, then it's kind of like, okay,
Speaker 1: who are you, Brian? Do you believe that in today's football?
Speaker 3: I don't think pride matters as much as it used to.
Speaker 3: I think today's football it's wherever the pastor is greener.
Speaker 1: Okay, but who's going to come and give no a
Speaker 1: fafied a bunch of money more than he's getting here.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the whole thing. Do you You never can't tell?
Speaker 2: Do you feed him more money after seeing this?
Speaker 1: You know you give him something? Right? He gets he Look,
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not going to Oklahoma and make a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of more money there than he than he
Speaker 1: is here.
Speaker 2: You're right, But who's gonna come up with the money
Speaker 2: to keep him here and to do the same kind
Speaker 2: of job. I mean not that he would, not that
Speaker 2: he would, but they paid him up front. Now, now
Speaker 2: do I have to give you some more money?
Speaker 1: Well, yes, you do, you do, or he will go
Speaker 1: somewhere because somebody will give him something somewhere. Start to
Speaker 1: go fund. Yes, somebody have give him something somewhere. Okay, hey,
Speaker 1: we gotta get out of here. We're gonna come back.
Speaker 1: We're going to do our Friday fab five Friday picks.

Speaker 1: with our picks. I know that they should be letting
Speaker 1: us into places this nice. But all right, so for
Speaker 1: entertainment purpose, for entertainment purposes only. Okay, So just to
Speaker 1: kind of fill you in on where we've been, because
Speaker 1: we haven't posted the picks in the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: What do you mean we Okay, me, I've been busy, Steve,
Speaker 1: I've been busy. Our season scores right now, and I
Speaker 1: won't go into how this works, but Steve leads me
Speaker 1: by two points. He's got thirty one points. I've got
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Steve has got in his picks his thirty
Speaker 1: thirty wins twenty five losses. I've got twenty nine wins
Speaker 1: and twenty six losses. Still above fuck hunter. Yeah. In

Speaker 1: But Steve has me by two points on the season
Speaker 1: for dinner at of a decently nice place. Steve took
Speaker 1: me to one of the casino del soul restaurants to
Speaker 1: pay off a different bet that we had, and we
Speaker 1: had you know, we had a good time. Actually it
Speaker 1: was fun. Anyway. So here we go leading, So you
Speaker 1: go first, Steve.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so I kind of did them. I do
Speaker 2: them all the time, just real quick here before the show.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Colorado State. I think they're
Speaker 2: playing did we see they're playing somebody?
Speaker 1: Oh, Wyoming? I think Wyoming. And and that's that's tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm taking Colorado State minus whatever that is
Speaker 2: andine and a half at home against Wyoming.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a that's an out of nowhere pick. Yes,
Speaker 1: why is that?
Speaker 2: Uh, they've played well against some where they I think
Speaker 2: you're five and zero recent games against the spread.
Speaker 1: Okay. I'm really upset at myself because I got off
Speaker 1: the Texas bandwagon after they got blown out a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and then they went off and they
Speaker 1: lit up. Where did they lighted up? Last week? It
Speaker 1: was bad. I don't know, it was bloody, I mean
Speaker 1: it was it was a mess. And uh and so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with them this week, get
Speaker 1: back on that bandwagon. They did me well earlier in
Speaker 1: the year. They're giving thirteen and a half at Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Arkansas's not Arkansas had a nice win against
Speaker 1: I can't remember who they played.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, well I think I didn't like about that game.
Speaker 2: I thought about it too. Is that Arkansas has been
Speaker 2: covering a lot of the games. Yeah, so I'm back
Speaker 2: on the Texas bandwagon. Giving the thirteen and a half
Speaker 2: at Arkansas. They're like a number what are they in
Speaker 2: the poll A Bowld playoff?
Speaker 1: I think they're like five or five or six or
Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, because that's that. Well, it was
Speaker 1: a terrible loss. I mean they got blood loss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was Jeff, he's not gonna listen
Speaker 2: to it, smart man man. All right, Okay, cool, So
Speaker 2: you got Texas, Texas, Mine is thirteen and a half.
Speaker 2: We just had Arkansas. Okay. I want to stay in
Speaker 2: the state of Colorado, state where it's cool and Crisp
Speaker 2: chrispare Colorado faces somebody in the Big twelve.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're protecting on Utah Utah, which is crazy. But
Speaker 1: we got to talk about about our friend Mark Carlett.
Speaker 1: We'll do that. Well, So what's his spread there? Uh,
Speaker 1: Colorado is giving up something, but not a lot. They're
Speaker 1: at home. I did because I looked hard at that game. God,
Speaker 1: where is it? Oh, it's a date, it's a it's
Speaker 1: a new it's a ten am game. So in Colorado. Okay,
Speaker 1: So but they're uh, they're giving eleven and a half
Speaker 1: to Utah, which I think is a lot.
Speaker 2: It is a lot of points. But I'm gonna stick
Speaker 2: with it. Colorado minus eleven and a half over Utah.
Speaker 1: Utah's just we'll talk about that. Yeah, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that in a second. All Right, I'm mad at myself,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm gonna let this thing slide because
Speaker 1: I took b yu last week and I I probably
Speaker 1: haven't taken b YU in ten years. And they and
Speaker 1: they and they won but didn't cover. So did the
Speaker 1: worst of all things. Okay, they didn't cover, but they
Speaker 1: won the dang game where I'm that guy says, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna not, if you're not gonna cover for me,
Speaker 1: they lose the damn game, and they didn't. They came
Speaker 1: back and won. The thing was I turned off the
Speaker 1: TV because it was that Lake game before that last drive,
Speaker 1: because I thought the game was over, and then they
Speaker 1: had that situation with the holding call. You b Yu
Speaker 1: went down, you know, kick the fueldl and won. I
Speaker 1: get up and there's my phone had blown up with
Speaker 1: a bunch of text messages about that. I'm like, what
Speaker 1: the hell happened? And then I went back and I
Speaker 1: saw the score, and then I saw then I saw
Speaker 1: the video of Mark Harlan lighting up the refs and
Speaker 1: the conference as a whole, which was which was incredible.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that all right. So anyways, I'm taking
Speaker 1: b YU. They're they're at home and they're only giving
Speaker 1: two and a half to Kansas, and so I just think, okay,
Speaker 1: all you gotta do is win the game. So I'm
Speaker 1: taking I'm taking b YU and that's going to be
Speaker 1: my lock, which again it's just way out and left
Speaker 1: field for me. I just don't I don't ever take them,
Speaker 1: and I really don't ever lock them. Kansas, no b Yu.
Speaker 1: I'm taking BYU over Kansas b YU. So minus two
Speaker 1: and a half.
Speaker 2: Okay, So now next I'm going to the pros where
Speaker 2: I feel better with it. Going with Minnesota to when
Speaker 2: there they they had been struggling a little. There's still
Speaker 2: one of the better teams, but they there's been struggling.
Speaker 1: They've got their giving six at the Titans. Okay like that. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just a big weenie when it comes
Speaker 1: to giving points on the road. I don't like doing
Speaker 1: that much. You know again, I had I had the
Speaker 1: Chiefs last week. Yeah, you know, yeah, and they didn't
Speaker 1: cover by half a point. I they didn't come by
Speaker 1: half a point on a on a game that I
Speaker 1: teased last week. So you got the Vikings and there
Speaker 1: they got the Tits. All right, I'm staying on the
Speaker 1: college side. And you asked me last segment if I
Speaker 1: thought Arizona was gonna win. Wow, I'm taking the Cats
Speaker 1: for the first time all year minus one and a
Speaker 1: half because I just think they're gonna win the game
Speaker 1: and I want to be there for that. You can't
Speaker 1: have as much optimisty as because it's a it's a
Speaker 1: small they've been there. One of the worst teams in
Speaker 1: the country at covering. I think they're they're way down
Speaker 1: the list. They're one and seven against the spread this year. Sure,
Speaker 1: they're very good. Yeah, and so I'm I'm going with it.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm throwing it out there, putting on the red
Speaker 1: and blue. I'm gonna tailgate. I'm gonna go to the
Speaker 1: game and uh and they're gonna win.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be at a tailgate tomorrow. I think it's
Speaker 2: good weather. Do you know what the weather it's gonna
Speaker 2: be like?
Speaker 1: Uh, well, it's gonna be in the low seventies when
Speaker 1: we get there around five o'clock, but by game time
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be in the fifties. We're supposed to
Speaker 1: drop almost twenty degrees by by game time. So bundle
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Okay, my next game, the Buffalo game,
Speaker 1: is right, is the big pick? Oh yeah, we got
Speaker 1: to pick. We were both picking Chiefs and Bills. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with San Francisco.
Speaker 2: In their game, I think they're gonna finally not stop
Speaker 2: kicking or stop kicking field goals and maybe sus touchdowns.
Speaker 1: They're giving six and a half to the Seahawks. Yes,
Speaker 1: Salmiches is gonna be one of the better teams there. Well,
Speaker 1: they always they got the guy. They got their guys back, right,
Speaker 1: So so you'd like to think that they will, but man,
Speaker 1: it's gonna take them a week to get out of me.
Speaker 1: That that that I mean they they won last week,
Speaker 1: but that was that was just ugly. That was just
Speaker 1: an ugly, ugly win by the by the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers last week, Seattle. I'll take this all right. Do
Speaker 1: you have a lock on one of those yet? That
Speaker 1: is your lock? Okay, Steve, Steve's gonna lock the Niners.
Speaker 1: All right. My sister will be unhappy with you. No, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 2: You are, don't don't miss identify me, all right.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Dolphins. They looked so good against the
Speaker 1: Rams on Monday night. I love this pic for you.
Speaker 1: Why because you always do this. They're taking the Raiders.
Speaker 1: They're playing the Raiders. They're giving seven to the Raiders.
Speaker 1: If it's not the Raiders, I don't. I'm not playing
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. They're at home against the Raiders in an
Speaker 1: early game. This is this is why I love you
Speaker 1: doing this with me. Did you see a team on
Speaker 1: a Sunday player?
Speaker 2: Really well, screw you and you say I never talked
Speaker 2: to them again, But it's the Raiders, Steve.
Speaker 1: I get well you. Hey, Pierce has not been the coach. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny because he got off to a great start
Speaker 1: and he is. They're a mess, a mess, and it
Speaker 1: starts at the top. Yeah, they're they're just they're just
Speaker 1: a complete mess. And you can't come back and college
Speaker 1: coach college football. No he can't. He's definitely not coaching
Speaker 1: college football. So I got the Dolphins minus seven against Raiders.
Speaker 1: I wish that was six and a half, but I'll
Speaker 1: take this. I'll take the seven to look to look good.
Speaker 1: You know, it looked really good.
Speaker 2: I had the rams. I said that's a sinch. I
Speaker 2: thought it was a sinch too, and it was horrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right, our special this week is the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Bills. The Chiefs are giving too, are
Speaker 1: getting to at Buffalo.
Speaker 2: Well that's an interesting number, but I'm going with Buffalo
Speaker 2: at home. Buffalo typically has them on the regular season.
Speaker 2: Can the city turns around always be beat some of
Speaker 2: the playoffs?
Speaker 1: All right, well then I'm I'm going Chiefs, and I'm
Speaker 1: going Chiefs because I would kick myself somewhere if I
Speaker 1: possibly could, if I didn't take if I didn't take
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes getting points, Patrick Mahomes getting points.
Speaker 1: It was again. It was one of those games where
Speaker 1: I thought, I said, Okay, I have to play this game.
Speaker 1: Which which will I Will I feel worse if I
Speaker 1: take the Bills and lose, or if I take the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: or you if I if I? How do I say this?
Speaker 1: If I didn't take the Chiefs and then and I
Speaker 1: took the Bills and lost, I'd feel horrible. I feel
Speaker 1: like I need to take the Chiefs, and I won't
Speaker 1: feel as bad if the Chiefs don't cover because I
Speaker 1: feel like I should take the Chiefs because they're so
Speaker 1: damn good. The year they've had some magic, right, we
Speaker 1: had some I mean that that game, you know, blocking
Speaker 1: a field goal to win the game last week, it
Speaker 1: was crazy.
Speaker 2: This week you may not even be that close. So
Speaker 2: we'll see. So that's our picks, right, those are the
Speaker 2: that was a pick. So let's recap him real quick.
Speaker 2: Steve's got Colorado State.
Speaker 1: Minus nine and a half, Colorado minus eleven and a half,
Speaker 1: the Vikings minus six, the Niners minus six and a half.
Speaker 1: You're taking the Bills minus two. I've got byus my
Speaker 1: lock minus two and a half. Texas minus thirteen and
Speaker 1: a half taking Arizona for the first time this year
Speaker 1: minus one and a half. I've got the Dolphins minus seven,
Speaker 1: and I'm taking the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes plus two.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Okay, cool, all right, we'll see
Speaker 1: how bad or good we do this. Yeah, well, okay,
Speaker 1: we've got about We've got about two and a half minutes.
Speaker 2: Mark Harlin, I got a text from one of the
Speaker 2: guys we know, Shan Kenny survived this.
Speaker 1: I said, it's not so big of a deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just a public bad thing. Yeah, he lost
Speaker 1: his mind. He was very upset. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: people who look at it as standing up for his
Speaker 1: team in his program. Uh, he's a nice guy. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's good at what he does, right, and he's good
Speaker 1: at what he's does. If he was a big, giant
Speaker 1: turd that didn't have public support, people didn't like him.
Speaker 1: They I could have seen, you know, this costs him
Speaker 1: his job. He's not that guy. You know, we we
Speaker 1: know him personally. He's a good guy. They love him
Speaker 1: at Utah. I'm certain the Utah fans are saying, we're
Speaker 1: glad you said it, because it had to be said
Speaker 1: of course, you know, he got fined forty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for that. I hope it was worth it.
Speaker 2: You sometimes I think it is you got Sometimes you
Speaker 2: have to pay the price of sending a message even
Speaker 2: though it doesn't mean much.
Speaker 1: The only thing is he needed to stop at the refs,
Speaker 1: but he said no. When he said, I like, I
Speaker 1: love the Big Twelve, but I don't love being a
Speaker 1: part of the Big twelve right now, that was the
Speaker 1: line that you need not cross because athletic directors and
Speaker 1: coaches forever have ripped on refs knowing that they were
Speaker 1: going to get fined. When he took another step and
Speaker 1: laid out laid out the Big twelve conference, that's where
Speaker 1: I think, you know it got it got crossway I
Speaker 1: think about it. With this situation, he did what every
Speaker 1: other coach or ad has one wanted to do for
Speaker 1: right again. And there's a lot of people saying good
Speaker 1: for him, but there's a lot of people saying, dude,
Speaker 1: you you can't do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, hell, it's just the frustration of
Speaker 2: the season for you till.
Speaker 1: Right it's been a tough it's been a tough here
Speaker 1: for those guys, just like we've had here, right, I
Speaker 1: mean they were picked to win the league, right, and
Speaker 1: then and they're you know, and they're eleven and a
Speaker 1: half point underdogs to Colorado. Well, when you lose to Arizona,
Speaker 1: you know, it's exactly I mean exactly. All right. Hey,
Speaker 1: this was fun, Steve. Thank you again. Man. This is
Speaker 1: another month and we'll be back next month. We'll figure
