Speaker 2: our final final show at this location. We'll forgive us
Speaker 2: if we shed a tear. Don't forgive us said we
Speaker 2: shed a tear.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to miss the guy at the QT
Speaker 3: who carries a machete.
Speaker 2: That's for his protection.
Speaker 3: I doesn't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: But today I went in. Today I went in and
Speaker 2: there was this dude walking past me and everything. Please
Speaker 2: don't look back at me. Please don't look back and
Speaker 2: kind of look a little sketchy. They all do.
Speaker 3: Yes, Well, you know, you know it. You know it's
Speaker 3: a tough it's a tough place, a tough cute t
Speaker 3: when they have an armed security guard in there who's
Speaker 3: armed like a SWAT member. All right, he's got like
Speaker 3: two weapons, a knife, all the all the gadgets, and
Speaker 3: then I started thinking, should I be more scared of
Speaker 3: him or the guy where the people he's trying to
Speaker 3: protect me from.
Speaker 2: Don't worry, He's not the dude that stopped Tyreek one
Speaker 2: of those incidents.
Speaker 3: We did.
Speaker 2: Well, let's maybe get to that. Maybe we won't. But okay,
Speaker 2: so you were one of the many thousand what was
Speaker 2: up ten?
Speaker 3: I didn't see. I think it was more than.
Speaker 2: Because you said forty four to forty five could.
Speaker 3: Be I thought it would be over forty five.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I wanted to because I was one of
Speaker 2: those guys and it was pretty impressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I got there again probably twenty
Speaker 3: minutes before kickoff and the and the student section was Janry.
Speaker 2: What's up with that student section? They've never been this
Speaker 2: way ever?
Speaker 3: And again they stayed. Of course, it was a game,
Speaker 3: so they unexpectedly a game.
Speaker 2: What do you think is going on? Team's good?
Speaker 3: I mean, I was gonna leave it halftime, but when
Speaker 3: the game was closing, sta well, they were losing it
Speaker 3: half to forty forty seven seven.
Speaker 2: It was not a bad crowd for any You do
Speaker 2: you think that they're there to see t MAC have
Speaker 2: some explosive with with with Noah, because hey, we've seen
Speaker 2: it years Jay, they would leave at halftime without without questions. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now they're staying. What do you guys are staying? What's up?
Speaker 3: Well, I think it might have been the fact they
Speaker 3: were losing time they wanted to.
Speaker 4: Now that the conference game they're gonna start, I don't
Speaker 4: think anyone's gonna leave it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been good. It's been very good. You got
Speaker 2: to get the Zona Zoo kids in here, one of
Speaker 2: them to say what you.
Speaker 3: Don't want to talk to them because I'll yell at him.
Speaker 2: Well, that's fine. Now you have to say I'm gonna
Speaker 2: yell you. I didn't be nice to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exact.
Speaker 2: Because they've been nice.
Speaker 3: They've been great. They are they putting much in your
Speaker 3: scholarship checkerors. Something I will give. I will give props
Speaker 3: where props are and they are, dude, because they're showing
Speaker 3: up and they're staying. They're adding a lot to the
Speaker 3: atmosphere and the the stadium is not dead in the
Speaker 3: middle of the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: No question. No, it's been it's been really good. A
Speaker 2: lot of red, a lot of except the thing is okay, Jay,
Speaker 2: Uh there's one hundred people in that building. I'm just
Speaker 2: throwing the number at you. How of the hundred, how
Speaker 2: many left? Uh? Okay, how many were not freaking out?
Speaker 3: Five?
Speaker 2: Five?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: Of the of the hundred, five of the hundred, we're
Speaker 3: not freaking out. The fans are just losing their minds.
Speaker 2: I sent you the text. Yes, I heard some fencive
Speaker 2: you were ft. Yeah, and we're not.
Speaker 3: They're not. But I can see why people are saying that.
Speaker 3: I don't blame people for saying that, but you, you
Speaker 3: and I being the adults in the room, okay, to
Speaker 3: me guess what they're to and oh.
Speaker 2: Well that's the whole thing, right, and that's a saving.
Speaker 3: Great right. And you know who's not to and oh
Speaker 3: Notre Dame's not to and on Michigan's not two, and oh,
Speaker 3: let's U's not to and O Florida State's own two,
Speaker 3: Clemson's not two and ol Auburn lost to cow so
Speaker 3: they're not to and all. So if you're unhappy that
Speaker 3: Arizona's two and oh, you need to shake yourself. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 3: did I like what I saw Saturday night? Absolutely not.
Speaker 3: I'm like everybody else. I did not like what I saw.
Speaker 3: Am I freaking out that there's no way they can
Speaker 3: be Kansas State? No, I'm not, because that what these
Speaker 3: games are for is to figure yourselves out, okay, and
Speaker 3: so that's what they have to do.
Speaker 2: You bet the seven and a half? Did you put
Speaker 2: the eight wins?
Speaker 3: Eight? I'm fine? How do you feel my mind hasn't
Speaker 3: changed the lick because because of this. Look, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of ways to look at this. You can be
Speaker 3: the glasses is half empty guy and say we suck,
Speaker 3: We're not going to be anybody. We're going We're going
Speaker 3: for four and eight. Or you can be the guy
Speaker 3: that says, okay, they barely beat NAU twenty two to ten.
Speaker 3: They look bad. Now they've got stuff to work on.
Speaker 3: They know what they need to work on now. I
Speaker 3: didn't know at the beginning of the game all the
Speaker 3: personnel issues that they had, that Cory Krossky Merrit was
Speaker 3: not there, that they had issues on the line, guys
Speaker 3: were playing out of position, you know, I kept I'm
Speaker 3: what I was noticing during the game was that Arizona
Speaker 3: could not block Anau. It could not block them, nor
Speaker 3: if Fido is ready for his life all night and
Speaker 3: I'm like, what the hell is going on? But then
Speaker 3: you see that guys were not playing the positions they
Speaker 3: normally play, and it made sense.
Speaker 2: So the people that wanted somebody other than t Mac
Speaker 2: being mentioned got their wish right, and now the opposite
Speaker 2: is right and see, and that's it to me. I'm
Speaker 2: in the first half particular, in particularly, I'm like, they're
Speaker 2: trying too hard not to throw it to Tea Mac
Speaker 2: throwing the damn all if he's open, and he was
Speaker 2: open a couple of times that he was being double
Speaker 2: team in the double team.
Speaker 3: Times he threw it to me forced it. You know
Speaker 3: that one interception he threw on the sideline, he threw
Speaker 3: another bomb and the end like what happened to him
Speaker 3: running wide open the way he did?
Speaker 2: Did you send me something on him? Did you ask
Speaker 2: me a question? Because I got a couple of questions
Speaker 2: from a couple of people asking if he was injured
Speaker 2: because he didn't play. Now, I don't think so. I
Speaker 2: think he's a bit discouraged right now because they didn't.
Speaker 2: You know, you have this ten catch day. And then
Speaker 2: the question was asked of Brendan today about his body
Speaker 2: language that he seemed disinterested or disheartened to know he
Speaker 2: because he wasn't gonna give the ball.
Speaker 3: I've noted even last week. I know he comes out
Speaker 3: of the huddle, he's got his head down. He kind
Speaker 3: of looks like he's like that. You know that that that?
Speaker 3: Who did we see there was a famous NFL player, uh, receiver?
Speaker 3: Probably he just who just looked like completely uninterested. Then
Speaker 3: you get to line up and you take off and
Speaker 3: it's got you know, I don't know who that. I've
Speaker 3: noticed his body language in any game, even you know
Speaker 3: last week when he was running up and down the field,
Speaker 3: he's kind of slow to the huddle. He gets to
Speaker 3: the huddle, he gets them, then he kind of jogs
Speaker 3: to a spot and then boom, he shot out of
Speaker 3: a can.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the first I've heard that. Because if that's
Speaker 2: the case, that's just who he is.
Speaker 3: That's who he is.
Speaker 2: What the question was, you know, talking about bad body
Speaker 2: languages as well. He didn't go specifically with him, but
Speaker 2: that needs to change.
Speaker 3: He had the same body language Saturday night that he
Speaker 3: had last Saturday.
Speaker 2: Well that was not mentioned because I've never really noticed
Speaker 2: that I have that. Again, you used catch twelve balls?
Speaker 2: You think you know, Okay, that's just who he is.
Speaker 3: I watch him. I watch him, watch him mainly to
Speaker 3: see if he's hurt, but I watch him. I watch
Speaker 3: him when he you know, when he goes out for
Speaker 3: a pass and doesn't get I watch him go back
Speaker 3: to the huddle and he kind of strolls back to
Speaker 3: the huddle and he strolls back to the line, and
Speaker 3: he's kind of like, God, there's there's a famous player
Speaker 3: and I can't remember if he's a baseball, basketball or
Speaker 3: football player who could who looked like they were dead
Speaker 3: and then a play would start and they were just
Speaker 3: off and and he's like that, and I you know,
Speaker 3: you know what if he's if he moses back to
Speaker 3: the huddle, gets the play dogs out to his spot,
Speaker 3: and then takes off and gives one hundred effort and
Speaker 3: no problem with it. Other guys have that body language
Speaker 3: because you know they're discouraged. He had the same body
Speaker 3: language sturday night that he had.
Speaker 2: I didn't notice any that maybe the loping type of thing.
Speaker 2: But if that's who he is, that's who he is.
Speaker 2: We'll go more beyond yeah, or see if they take
Speaker 2: care of it too. If they saw the same thing Uh,
Speaker 2: so we're going back on Monday. We'll talk more about
Speaker 2: the game. Obviously, we have Chris Silvester, who covered the
Speaker 2: game for ESPN on. He was there as the play
Speaker 2: by play guy. So we found him over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Uh Torres found him for me, and then we're gonna
Speaker 2: have extra mendous. He meant as we've had her Beforeta,
Speaker 2: they're five and oh.
Speaker 3: They are five and oh, and they're hill twenty eight
Speaker 3: to nothing in their in their last h in their
Speaker 3: last four games, thirty to one in their five games,
Speaker 3: but their last four for matches they won four oh
Speaker 3: six oh seven, oh and eleven. Oh. So that I
Speaker 3: mean they've got a scrimmage coming up with Eastern Arizona,
Speaker 3: so let's say that doesn't count. So I mean they're
Speaker 3: gonna beat Glendale like fifteen nothing. It's just crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll talk to her about it. What's going on.
Speaker 2: They've always been good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they ranked eleventh. No, we'll see how good the
Speaker 3: ranked eleventh in the Division two on national rankings.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we'll talk and then we'll talk to Chrys
Speaker 2: Silvester on the other side to see what his impressions were.
Speaker 2: If you're a fan, if you're a fan, exactly, either
Speaker 2: happy or not happy or whatever. Now is the big
Speaker 2: boy time?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, and look we we they got to this
Speaker 3: point two and zero. Did they ask some stuff to
Speaker 3: work on the ab but who does? Kansas State didn't
Speaker 3: look all that good to me. They you know, they
Speaker 3: won because they got a defensive touchdown at the end
Speaker 3: of the game. They let to lane, they had to come.
Speaker 3: They were down ten to Tulane had to come back.
Speaker 3: Won the game on the defensive touchdown. So everybody's got
Speaker 3: their issues. And again, would you rather be Arizona fan
Speaker 3: right now or would rather be Notre Dame fan right now?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not sure how you feel as an Arizona fan.
Speaker 2: How do you feel there? Junior?
Speaker 3: Definitely better than what a Notre Dame or Auburn? What
Speaker 3: the hell was Auburn doing losing to Cal?
Speaker 2: They lost in New Mexico stategium.
Speaker 3: Lets you do a money line parlay for me?
Speaker 2: Oh, they had to come.
Speaker 3: That's what it all has has to do, what it's
Speaker 3: all about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who else was you going to compla complain about pros?
Speaker 3: Probably? Yeah, the Bengals. The crap that was as Bengals,
Speaker 3: That was.
Speaker 2: The Bengals, not the Bengals, god like.
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, eight and a half. You know, in
Speaker 3: the NFL, that's that's a good sized point spread. But
Speaker 3: the Patriots are unanimously considered the worst team in the
Speaker 3: league by a lot. And the Patriots went in there
Speaker 3: into Cincinnati and beat them. What the hell supposed to
Speaker 3: do it?
Speaker 1: That?
Speaker 2: Did Chase play?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chase play? But t Higgins did not. But I
Speaker 3: don't care. You've Jacobysett is the Patriots quarterb you know,
Speaker 3: but Jacoby Brissette might not be the quarterback at our
Speaker 3: kids Turkey Bowl. Okay, I mean, come on, Steve, come on.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Because finally you said that, you know,
Speaker 2: the people in this room, we had, uh, we had Lauren,
Speaker 2: and we had the Jose said, well four of us,
Speaker 2: Jose my son, Uh, that we could go and play
Speaker 2: and it was pretty good.
Speaker 3: You got to give any of your credit for for
Speaker 3: for what they did. They pushed their zone around on
Speaker 3: the on the on the you know they're on the defense.
Speaker 3: Their defensive line pushed air zone around. I mean again,
Speaker 3: if a Fina hasn't run for his life much ever
Speaker 3: a long time.
Speaker 2: If I can remember you're right, you could be right.
Speaker 3: I mean for a little bit, for a part of
Speaker 3: the game, for like the middle two quarters in the
Speaker 3: Alamo bule so Oklahoma chased him around like that. But
Speaker 3: for an entire game, nobody's done that.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you one of the things. The
Speaker 2: coaching changes, right, and the new coaches come in, at
Speaker 2: what point? At what point this continues? So this continues
Speaker 2: when you're gonna kind of say, you don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't know the next two because the next two we
Speaker 2: knew were gonna should lose.
Speaker 3: These two. Now, if they go get beat forty eight
Speaker 3: to ten by Kansas State, you got a problem. But
Speaker 3: you know, if they don't beat Kansas State, but it's
Speaker 3: a good game, you know, twenty four to twenty, you know,
Speaker 3: thirty one to twenty seven, whatever, that's home field advantage.
Speaker 3: They just can't go over there and look like crap.
Speaker 3: And I I believe, I mean somebody's already saying Dino
Speaker 3: Baber sucks as an offensive coordinator. No he doesn't, you know,
Speaker 3: they they're just and how much of this is getting
Speaker 3: used to the new staff? Get he used to the
Speaker 3: you know, new schemes, getting used to new terminology, getting
Speaker 3: to all the things that are new. People forget, people
Speaker 3: forget that. Would they be having these issues if Jed
Speaker 3: Fish was still here. I'm gonna I'm gonna say not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, probably probably not. There was another thing
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you, do you know? Do you know?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Do you think part of the issue too? And I
Speaker 2: don't believe in this that they've held back some things. No,
Speaker 2: I don't either.
Speaker 3: I don't either. I don't either. I just think that
Speaker 3: I just think that they were not They just did
Speaker 3: not play very well on Saturday night. But guess what,
Speaker 3: they didn't play very well and they won.
Speaker 2: So you know, I do the show on Saturday pregame
Speaker 2: with Black Byron and and David, and I asked him,
Speaker 2: is there a chance that they could come out flat?
Speaker 2: I didn't use the word flat, just just not of
Speaker 2: course excited.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then they said no, because you're an athlete. It
Speaker 2: doesn't happen. It happened all the day.
Speaker 3: They do too. It happens all the time, but they're
Speaker 3: not gonna admit it. Exhibit a Arizona basketball, don't.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, how do you explain the first
Speaker 2: round losses exactly?
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 2: It happens all the time.
Speaker 3: I'm losing to Santa Clair ninety two, just here. It
Speaker 3: happens everywhere. Yes, yeah, it's not just in Arizona. Hey, look,
Speaker 3: I don't be grudge fans who are upset. Right, let
Speaker 3: them be upset. They have a right to be upset.
Speaker 3: Arizona hasn't looked great. But just think about it before
Speaker 3: you start saying the season is over. Some guy I'm
Speaker 3: on driving home listening to Yeah the first caller ripped
Speaker 3: him all the way back to Dick Tomy days, said
Speaker 3: that this is a typical Dick Tomy performance. You play
Speaker 3: defense and just enough offense to win the game. I
Speaker 3: hated it then, I hate it now, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: what do you do? He's got I was embarrassed. The
Speaker 3: guy said he was my agent. I'm like, go away, Oh,
Speaker 3: go a way. You said he was sixty five.
Speaker 2: The funny thing about it is Jay I said that
Speaker 2: to to Anthony, who's covering the game. I said, it's
Speaker 2: the Inner Dictoby kind of offense. You know, the run, run,
Speaker 2: pass maybe okay, and move it out and they're gonna win.
Speaker 2: We knew they will win, but you know, okay, we
Speaker 2: gotta go. We gotta go already, We're gonna get a
Speaker 2: hold of ishta yeah, amendus, and we'll come back to mend.
Speaker 3: Better get that right?

Speaker 2: the fun we have preached them and this minute Pimastix
Speaker 2: women's soccer coach, How are you What in the world
Speaker 2: is going on at Pima? Is the is the field
Speaker 2: slanted one way?
Speaker 3: Is the goal bigger?
Speaker 2: What's going on over there?
Speaker 5: I mean the field is amazing. I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: Well, you're doing very well on both ends, offensively and defensively.
Speaker 2: Let's start on the offensive side. Thirty goals in five games.
Speaker 3: Five games, Yes, I mean, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 3: I mean, why is that happening.
Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 3: I mean that? Look, I mean, are you in any league?
Speaker 3: That's a lot of goals?
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think it's honestly, just team culture of wanting to
Speaker 5: be gritty and coming out strong and maintaining the spirits high.
Speaker 5: And we all will playing soccer. So it's going as
Speaker 5: many goals is what we want to do.
Speaker 2: Is it even a surprise to you?
Speaker 5: Honestly? Now, the incoming freshman mixed with the sophomores this year,
Speaker 5: I think we call them on each other very well,
Speaker 5: and we're able to play with each other.
Speaker 3: So so. But as you're as you're out there and
Speaker 3: you're just pumping in goals, you know, one after another,
Speaker 3: you know, is there? How do you how do you
Speaker 3: keep everybody focused. Is you know, are there competitions out there?
Speaker 3: I mean, what, how how is that? How do you
Speaker 3: keep that you know, high level of momentum and pressure
Speaker 3: and all those things you know to be doing what
Speaker 3: you're doing.
Speaker 5: I think it's honestly the different personalities that we have
Speaker 5: on this team. We have a lot of coming freshman
Speaker 5: with different plants. That was like different backgrounds. But with
Speaker 5: all these different backgrounds we come we all come from
Speaker 5: competitive programs, so we always play like we're down a
Speaker 5: goal and keep pushing until the lasts.
Speaker 2: Is it your style to put to push some you
Speaker 2: know some coaches are on the defensive end, some guys
Speaker 2: or some team coaches on the offensive end. Are you
Speaker 2: one of those? Let's go after the type of coaches.
Speaker 5: Honestly, we're just play until the last whistle, light defense after,
Speaker 5: try to get any goals if you can, but just
Speaker 5: maintain composure.
Speaker 3: You know, when when you took this job, was there
Speaker 3: any sense of I don't want to call it pressure,
Speaker 3: but expectation that you felt about this program because you know,
Speaker 3: both the men's and women's programs that at PEMA you
Speaker 3: know have are you know, nationally ranked programs all the time.
Speaker 3: What were some of your expectations coming in and how
Speaker 3: have you handled all of that.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm a player on the team, so coming into
Speaker 5: a program like PEMA, it was a racky because of
Speaker 5: the past teams in the past seasons and how well
Speaker 5: they've done, so coming in, I just want to keep
Speaker 5: that legacy going.
Speaker 2: So how many goals have you scored?
Speaker 5: I've scored zero goals. But I I'm more of a
Speaker 5: play so.
Speaker 2: Okay, So then we missed. We missed. When Ray got
Speaker 2: me you on to get on the phone, I thought
Speaker 2: you were in touch with one of the coaches, So
Speaker 2: that's good. You played a.
Speaker 3: I thought you were a coach to.
Speaker 2: The Foothills, right, Yes, I did. Yeah, I know she
Speaker 2: got a That's a program that's excelled in soccer for
Speaker 2: a long time. So how does that help you? How
Speaker 2: does that carry over?
Speaker 5: I mean my event every year we would go to
Speaker 5: playoffs and we would make it pretty far, especially my
Speaker 5: freshman year we made it all the way to the
Speaker 5: state finals. And I think I learned a lot from
Speaker 5: those coaches and they had a lot of experience, so
Speaker 5: it really prepared me.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that makes sense now, No, Okay, now we've
Speaker 3: got the confus worked out.
Speaker 2: When I saw the picture, I'm thinking she's a relatively
Speaker 2: young ki.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought the same thing. Okay, so we you're
Speaker 3: we've got your sophomore, your your player. Okay. Back to
Speaker 3: that same question, then, as a player coming into this
Speaker 3: program and knowing the status of this program nationally, how
Speaker 3: do the players handle those kinds of expectations and you know,
Speaker 3: is it pressure or is it just you know what,
Speaker 3: we want to be good. We know we're going to
Speaker 3: be good, and we just do it.
Speaker 5: I think it's kind of going back to what I
Speaker 5: said earlier about us coming like a lot of the
Speaker 5: players are coming from very competitive and very successful programs,
Speaker 5: whether it was clob or high school. So I think
Speaker 5: we're all very used to the pressure and I don't
Speaker 5: think the pressure gets us as much. And if the
Speaker 5: pressure is there, it allows us to push through and
Speaker 5: to play better.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, so it must have been. It must be
Speaker 2: good chemistry right away, even though you're only five six
Speaker 2: games in.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean over the summer we really try to
Speaker 5: for us as Goltomers, we try to get the fresh
Speaker 5: and involved and do a lot of team bonding and
Speaker 5: tell them Hey, like, we need a winning season this
Speaker 5: year and we really wanted that and we've been doing so.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of twosonans on the team. I'm assuming
Speaker 2: most of them are twosonans. How is that because you
Speaker 2: guys were competitors for all these years growing up unless
Speaker 2: you were like maybe T S A or f C,
Speaker 2: f C TWC soon on summer league, so summer yeah,
Speaker 2: summer teams.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have a lot of familiar phrases, and I
Speaker 5: think that's how the team chemistry. Just playing we were
Speaker 5: like five years old and seeing each other through high
Speaker 5: school and through club and finally being able to play
Speaker 5: together I think really just help with that team chemistry.
Speaker 3: Is there? Are there? But you know in doing that,
Speaker 3: you know when you get there and whatnot. Are there
Speaker 3: any rivalries a little bit? Or is everybody on the
Speaker 3: same page from the get go?
Speaker 5: I think we were on the same pace from the
Speaker 5: get go. We all again, we're very competitive, and I
Speaker 5: think our competitive personality that we were able to mesh
Speaker 5: really well and want the same goal.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Okay, your position? Are you a defender?
Speaker 5: I'm a defensive okay.
Speaker 2: And that explains why you have no goals? But but
Speaker 2: you must be you must be pretty happy to see
Speaker 2: your teammates doing what they're doing, and because I'm sure
Speaker 2: there's a few that already have three or four goals.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm really proud of all the girls on the team,
Speaker 5: from the freshman are storing to the sophomore start scoring.
Speaker 5: Even some players that aren't scoring the ones that's giving
Speaker 5: those making big moments happen in difficult games. That I'm
Speaker 5: proud of every girl the team.
Speaker 2: Does this a success? Early success? Uh, that's a weird question.
Speaker 2: Set you up for I don't want to say failure.
Speaker 2: But you've started really out of the gate tremendously well.
Speaker 2: Now if something happens, you know it set you back.
Speaker 2: But can you continue this? It's gonna be tough.
Speaker 5: I think we can. I have a lot of states
Speaker 5: in the culture that we've created since the summer, and
Speaker 5: I think we're very grateful as a team and we
Speaker 5: were able to push through the adversities and get the goal.
Speaker 2: So you you played at Foothills, Was it always need
Speaker 2: the intention of yourself to to go to Pima.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I wanted to stay local and I wanted to stay
Speaker 5: here because I knew with a program and I I
Speaker 5: knew coach Kelly from high school as well, so I
Speaker 5: didn't want to stay local, all right.
Speaker 3: So playing with all the all the local players though,
Speaker 3: I mean, as you said, you know, you grew up
Speaker 3: with them, You've you've seen them, and now you're kind
Speaker 3: of messioned together as a you know, one of the better,
Speaker 3: you know, junior college teams in the country. How does
Speaker 3: that come together? Though? You know, what do you know?
Speaker 3: Is it? Is it automatic? Everybody understand each other? You know?
Speaker 3: How does that work so well for you?
Speaker 5: I mean, coming into a college team is very different
Speaker 5: than when you're playing, but it's it's it's more competitive here,
Speaker 5: but I think that business allows us to force each
Speaker 5: other as a team and trust the team and trust
Speaker 5: the process. We need to work hard and we need
Speaker 5: to make sure that we're all united as a team.
Speaker 2: So how's college life? I mean this, she's your first year,
Speaker 2: You're in there busy second? How is college life being
Speaker 2: a student athlete?
Speaker 5: Well, last year it was difficult trying to time manage
Speaker 5: every thing. But this year, after already having the first
Speaker 5: year experience, it's it's it's easy, and I do like it.
Speaker 5: I do like being a student athlete. I like the
Speaker 5: being able to play.
Speaker 2: And okay, okay, so let me ask you, do you
Speaker 2: have what what's your hopes after this season? Individually?
Speaker 5: Individually? I would like to continue playing at a four year.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's probably your goal as a little girl,
Speaker 2: to playing in the playing in the summer leagues.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was. I'm on soccer. I can't imagine my
Speaker 5: life without soccer. I've been playing since I was five,
Speaker 5: so and I fell in.
Speaker 2: Love with four ever sin Okay, I think you played Friday.
Speaker 2: When's your next game? Your next match?
Speaker 5: We played tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow, Okay, so you could score another sixty goals?
Speaker 3: Who knows?
Speaker 5: Will We'll get a joke.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a promise. That's a promise. But used to
Speaker 2: thank you man, you very much, Thank you guys. Well,
Speaker 2: well there was some confusion there, Yeah there was. I
Speaker 2: just texted Ray about that. But no, that's cool. Who
Speaker 2: would have thought thirty and one? Yeah, on five and
Speaker 2: you said they're ranked.
Speaker 3: They ranked eleventh. They moved up to eleven in the
Speaker 3: National Division two rankings. One thing. The match tomorrow is
Speaker 3: an exhibition with UH with UH. I believe it's East
Speaker 3: Eastern Arizona seven o'clock tomorrow at PEMA and then they
Speaker 3: have a no, it's at Eastern. Then they have their
Speaker 3: next regular match is Saturday at eight o'clock against Glendale.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she's a captain. Ray's just texting me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so obviously well spoken. When she was we were saying captain,
Speaker 2: she never corrected. This is like, this is like Darryl
Speaker 2: Lewis Daryl spell her name with two wells with.
Speaker 3: Two as exactly now. But you know, again, this program
Speaker 3: that just continues to just great teams, both them and
Speaker 3: and the men's team just uh you know, always good.
Speaker 2: Right right as they should be. You know, this is
Speaker 2: a town that's made you know, this is a spot
Speaker 2: of soccer going into the cycling town. This is a
Speaker 2: soccer town. It's a baseball town, it's a basketball town. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: I mean all three of my kids at least played
Speaker 3: a little soccer. My my my middle daughter Alana, she
Speaker 3: only played one year of like five year old soccer,
Speaker 3: but Adam played in high school. Rachel played in middle school.
Speaker 3: The only reason she didn't playing in high school was
Speaker 3: that the soccer season was the same time as volleyball
Speaker 3: again and she chose. She chose volleyball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my kids played the soccer for twelve years.
Speaker 3: It was crazy.
Speaker 2: I had no idea what the hell they were doing
Speaker 2: and turned out okay because my ex it was pretty
Speaker 2: good attitude.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I mean, I look, I don't know
Speaker 3: the strategies and what a good defense looks like, what
Speaker 3: a good offense.
Speaker 2: Looks like, the advantage of their offense or defense.
Speaker 3: All do different things, you know, I know what the
Speaker 3: object of the game is. Goals, bag score gold, bab
Speaker 3: get as many as you can. Yeah, I do know
Speaker 3: that when you bet on soccer, you when you bet
Speaker 3: on soccer, you can bet to win, to tie, or
Speaker 3: to lose. And I like, you know, I bet a
Speaker 3: point spread one time, right, and uh, but it was
Speaker 3: a it was a full boy. But a push is
Speaker 3: a loss, yeah, whereas in other sports a push. That's
Speaker 3: why a push, that's why it's a loss. That's that's
Speaker 3: where you can bet the die. You can bet a push.
Speaker 3: And I didn't know that. And I went to the
Speaker 3: window saying I won, and they said, no, you didn't.
Speaker 3: I say I did. I was getting I was getting one.
Speaker 3: It's a push.
Speaker 2: And he says, sorry, sir, sorry, sir one eight hundred,
Speaker 2: next step, but there is a table tennis match here
Speaker 2: like some curlings, some curling and some corn hall. The
Speaker 2: post for the cornhole term is happening now.
Speaker 3: A little axe throwing, little axe throwing. Gotta love that.

Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to il. About here a Fox Sports
Speaker 2: fortune could be. I'm Steve Rivera. He's thinkings. Also, we
Speaker 2: have about seventeen minutes if you'd like to give us
Speaker 2: a call five two zero four one six seventy four
Speaker 2: forty What did you think about the game? What do
Speaker 2: you think about the team? What are your concerns? What
Speaker 2: are you not concerned about?
Speaker 3: Or simply stay are you in panic motor or you're
Speaker 3: just like, okay, this is where we are they're doing. Oh,
Speaker 3: let's move on, right, should I think you're in one
Speaker 3: camp or the other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah you can.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody's wish he was.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're in different Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 2: Do you watch Brennan two in addition to teammate, No, So,
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean I look for him. I looked for him
Speaker 3: to see if he had an lay on again, and
Speaker 3: he did. Not as bushy as the last one.
Speaker 2: He had, just a guy. I guess he collapsed a lot.
Speaker 2: That's what I read.
Speaker 3: He would collapse a lot. Oh yeah. Yeah. He looks
Speaker 3: like he's out there cheering and stuff like that. I
Speaker 3: don't see him deeply involved in play calling, you know.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they go to, Okay, we're going for a
Speaker 3: fourth down or not? Are we kicking a field goal?
Speaker 3: You know? What are we doing? You know? And I
Speaker 3: I Steve, I'll say it. He looks like Dick Tomy
Speaker 3: on the side.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, he's up and down the sidelines. He's not a
Speaker 3: you know, he's just out there seeing what's going on, encouraging.
Speaker 3: Sure he's got he's got input on everything, but he's
Speaker 3: not calling the plays, you know, either on offense or defense.
Speaker 2: So I think I asked you this on maybe I'll
Speaker 2: ask a different way. At what point till will you?
Speaker 2: So they go on the road, we thought if they
Speaker 2: get one, it's a bonus, right if they lose to
Speaker 2: kind of what you expected.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 2: The funny thing about is it's before the season. You
Speaker 2: kind of look and what do we know? What does
Speaker 2: anybody know when they kind of win here or win
Speaker 2: there and win the No one knows because things change
Speaker 2: on a dime, right, And as you pointed out the
Speaker 2: teams that are zero and two or one and one,
Speaker 2: when they thought, oh they did be two and oh,
Speaker 2: it's it's a crap shoot, right, Uh. And now they
Speaker 2: could lose next two and you'd expect that anyway, Right
Speaker 2: then Texas Tech and then the ball gets throwing.
Speaker 3: Right, And but the next two will depend on if
Speaker 3: they lose. It will depend on how they lose. And
Speaker 3: it's style points, right, style points are going to matter
Speaker 3: in these next two games because you know, yes, the
Speaker 3: wins and losses, but if they get blown out twice,
Speaker 3: now now you worry, right and you think, okay, what's
Speaker 3: going on? Whereas if they go to these two places,
Speaker 3: play good games and just get beat and you can
Speaker 3: chalk it up to, you know, home versus being on
Speaker 3: the road. Then you go, okay, that was the expectation.
Speaker 3: I don't expect him to be three and one. I
Speaker 3: just don't. Now. I feel better about their chances of
Speaker 3: Kansas State this week because Kansas State didn't look great
Speaker 3: on Saturday. So, you know, will I be surprised if
Speaker 3: aar Zona beats Kansas State? No, I won't be shocked,
Speaker 3: but I don't expect them to.
Speaker 2: Think I think it was some of you said that
Speaker 2: the game was a nine and a half point game.
Speaker 2: I think it's down to six and a Half's six
Speaker 2: and a half now and earlier, Well it was six
Speaker 2: and a half last week. Yeah, so if you were
Speaker 2: so smart, man, you would have taken the nine and
Speaker 2: a half or no way back then, way back then. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's still hop you know, what do we know about
Speaker 2: them way back then? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Who kin of State or Arizona. It is seven right now,
Speaker 3: so that's that's.
Speaker 2: Not a bad number you could push, but but that's
Speaker 2: still it's just not discouraging to the people to make
Speaker 2: the odds because if you saw Arizona just naked eye,
Speaker 2: you don't know much. Think really they're not too exciting. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're not too exciting, but you know what they kind
Speaker 2: of are. They showed it in the first game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, they're capable, right, they're capable. They're they're a
Speaker 3: good team and they're capable. Did they show it on
Speaker 3: Saturday night? They did not? But no team shows that
Speaker 3: week in and week out. Well, I shouldn't say no.
Speaker 3: Few teams the special teams do you know, the Georgia's,
Speaker 3: the Alabama's. But again, you know, there's some teams that
Speaker 3: are licking their wounds right now that you wouldn't expect
Speaker 3: to be licking their wounds.
Speaker 2: And you know, and some teams were close Oklahoma. Oklahoma
Speaker 2: struggled against Houston. Alabama was struggling a little before. While Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you know, it's still early.
Speaker 3: I mean there are a bunch of teams that that
Speaker 3: didn't you know, they didn't show on on over the weekend,
Speaker 3: and you just go, you know, I mean again, you're
Speaker 3: early in the season. You're figuring yourself out now.
Speaker 13: Is that?
Speaker 3: You know? Look, normally, normally this game with Kansas State
Speaker 3: doesn't take on as much meaning as you know, a
Speaker 3: third non conference game, you know, it doesn't usually take
Speaker 3: on as much meaning as this one is. This one
Speaker 3: does because even though it's a non conference game, it's
Speaker 3: ken it's a game from your conference against the team
Speaker 3: that people think is going to be as one of
Speaker 3: the top teams in the conference. But there were a
Speaker 3: slew of games, you know, people were talking about SMU
Speaker 3: having a shot to win the A c C. They
Speaker 3: got beat by b y U at home.
Speaker 2: It's funny. I'm sure you respect Joe kla Yeah, he
Speaker 2: had a he's a CU grady my understanding. He had
Speaker 2: Dion in an interview in his podcast. Whatever, it wouldn't
Speaker 2: be unrealistic if you had, you know, seven eight wins,
Speaker 2: you had a chance to go to the twelve team playoffs.
Speaker 2: And obviously Young ate that up big time. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: looked like a far win team.
Speaker 3: Again, they look like the same team Nebraska abused them
Speaker 3: in that first half, right, I mean, they just obliterated.
Speaker 2: And I'm just wondering if he's just trying to appease
Speaker 2: him or whatever here and now they're in deep.
Speaker 3: They look like the same team they had last year.
Speaker 3: You know, they got no no line on either side
Speaker 3: of the line. She or Sanders is running for his life.
Speaker 3: Shiloh Sanders broke his arm. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: saw that. Yeah, okay, let's take this call.
Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 3: You're on the air and I on the ball.
Speaker 17: I'd be like Orb Farnes worre. You can't talk to
Speaker 17: me about football till baseball season's over, especially since my
Speaker 17: Cubs are playing your dirty team tonight.
Speaker 2: Uh day, Well, the Cub's any good.
Speaker 18: Oh, they're pretty good, but they started off whack and
Speaker 18: they're getting it together.
Speaker 17: And they don't have they didn't have all their pitch,
Speaker 17: and of course the Dodgers were really injured.
Speaker 3: They still are better. Yeah, all kinds of guys banged up.
Speaker 2: Howard? Where are you been? Where you been? Howard?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 18: You know what I was actually thinking today, I was
Speaker 18: going they're going to be moving in if they haven't
Speaker 18: already to their new place.
Speaker 3: Yeahmorrow tomorrow.
Speaker 17: That's that's the big reason why I called.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need help, We need help with movers.
Speaker 9: Come on.
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, and you're gonna be we're so close to
Speaker 17: me because I live really close to Jay, right, because
Speaker 17: you're going to be close to Jay right?
Speaker 2: No, God, no, no, we're not going to be that
Speaker 2: close to you.
Speaker 3: You're you're twenty minutes away. Well, you're twenty minutes away.
Speaker 2: This is half five, so you're more central.
Speaker 17: You're still more central than the way the hell out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, central and north and then a better neighborhood. Let's
Speaker 3: just say that.
Speaker 2: Wait, weren't you like it?
Speaker 17: Yeah? Weren't you like? Is the Swan in Sunrise?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Wine and Sunrise where it's going to be.
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's where you were saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to live there.
Speaker 17: You can catch by Swan and Sunrise.
Speaker 2: You can catch you have McDonald's across the street.
Speaker 3: As so as they finish it, it's not it.
Speaker 17: Yep, you can so u and then it's gonna be
Speaker 17: fun to watch the Bears next Sunday, I was saying,
Speaker 17: I was saying, Steve's going crazy with him picking the
Speaker 17: Bears two.
Speaker 2: Different they're and they're the ones that saved me, man,
Speaker 2: They're the older ones that saved me last the last week.
Speaker 3: I think it Bears in the Texans.
Speaker 2: Next week, I think the Texans.
Speaker 17: But but Jay did that as usual.
Speaker 3: Probably No, No, I had a nice I had a
Speaker 3: nice weekend.
Speaker 2: You beat me, I hit uh. In fact, yeah, I
Speaker 2: think it's the best weekend you've had in two years ago.
Speaker 2: This year. In last year, yeah, yeah, I hit.
Speaker 3: I hit three games before at the Lock and the Special,
Speaker 3: So I got four points. And so Steve and I
Speaker 3: are even in terms of weeks one. Steve and I
Speaker 3: are even. He's one point ahead of me, so I'm
Speaker 3: right there. Yeah, yeah, so it's all good, good, Okay.
Speaker 18: I actually lived at Swann and Sunrise for twenty five years. Okay,
Speaker 18: down there where those big ready radio towers are just
Speaker 18: on the eide.
Speaker 2: Were you always gonna say, well, okay, I know where
Speaker 2: you were.
Speaker 3: We used to go tully hopping over there.
Speaker 17: No, no, no had apartments there, No, Kay Burrill it's
Speaker 17: down like a mile from south and he's in the
Speaker 17: fetch Kaya neighborhood.
Speaker 3: We used to go tully hopping and the guy's sand
Speaker 3: rail of there on Pontatok Road. And and actually Ponatok
Speaker 3: wasn't there. It was a place where there were there
Speaker 3: were booney parties.
Speaker 7: Yeah.

Speaker 3: Well, you could go over there south of it was
Speaker 3: called Skyline at the time, south of the Skyline basically
Speaker 3: between river and Skyline on Ponatok Road because was not
Speaker 3: and there was not, and you could just go in
Speaker 3: there with a you know, with many bikes or motorcycles
Speaker 3: or a buddy of mine had one of those sand
Speaker 3: rails and we used to We used to go down
Speaker 3: the wash to get there and then would go driving
Speaker 3: around in that area. It was cool. It was fun anyways.
Speaker 2: So so let me we'll talk about the defense now,
Speaker 2: because because they were better.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, you know, Eric Newman, this this the
Speaker 3: the sun right, it was right. They didn't get two touchdowns.
Speaker 3: You know, they put that one touchdown up on the board.
Speaker 2: Well here's here's the thing. I think, correct me if
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, at least you in your mind.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 2: They they helped Arizona. They went forth and well that
Speaker 2: was dumb, that was dumb. That helped them get right. Well,
Speaker 2: that changed the whole game. And the right that changed
Speaker 2: the entire game. When they went out their fourth I'm like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, what do you guys, I'm like, don't
Speaker 2: do it? Yeah, there were it was they got They.
Speaker 3: Got into the twenty on a on a punt that
Speaker 3: went into the end zone and then they they're on
Speaker 3: the twenty nine yard land and go for it on
Speaker 3: fourth down. Let's take this call.
Speaker 2: Are on the air and I on the ball.
Speaker 6: Hey, what's up, guys?
Speaker 11: Is Vi?
Speaker 3: Vic?
Speaker 2: What's the word?
Speaker 6: I want to know what your grade is for Brennan
Speaker 6: uh keina and uh and.
Speaker 2: Uh Wait Okay, I want to get yours because let
Speaker 2: me say I get text throughout the game and Vic
Speaker 2: was one of them, and I want to get his grade.
Speaker 2: If even they have a grade that you can give.
Speaker 6: All right, get Vic have the incomplete sound.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's a C minus for me.
Speaker 3: I'm a C plus.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm a C plus.
Speaker 6: H you can, but it's a deep for sure.
Speaker 3: It's a D if they have a loss. They're two
Speaker 3: and oh, Vic. No matter what you say about what
Speaker 3: the two and oh looks like, they're two and oh,
Speaker 3: So you can't give them a D.
Speaker 6: Day. They played two of the worst, and you have
Speaker 6: to factor that in. But they didn't on both of them.
Speaker 3: But they didn't lose. There's a bunch of teams who
Speaker 3: lost to bad teams.
Speaker 6: Participation.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no no no. I'm just saying.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, Vic, they're two and oh and they're
Speaker 3: still ranked. I'm not giving them a D. But I'm
Speaker 3: not giving them a B. It's a C plus because
Speaker 3: they they won those games and and you know, in
Speaker 3: the NAU game, say what you want about you know,
Speaker 3: they were down and so they stuffed them the entire
Speaker 3: second half. Any of you never had a chance in
Speaker 3: the second half.
Speaker 6: Well, because they haven't look good at many phases and
Speaker 6: both phases on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna debate that, because they put sixty one
Speaker 3: points on the board against New Mexico, all right, and.
Speaker 6: Didn't look good. I agree, Loop missed the dangfield goals.
Speaker 3: So I mean that that was that was that was scary. Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie that that When that happened, I
Speaker 3: thought that's the kind of thing that happens when you
Speaker 3: lose a game like this, you know, Whereas I never
Speaker 3: thought they were going to lose to New Mexico. The
Speaker 3: two times that that it was it was thirteen to
Speaker 3: ten and Nau had the ball. I thought, if any
Speaker 3: you does something that goes and takes the lead, this
Speaker 3: gets really dangerous. And the Arizona just didn't let him breathe.
Speaker 2: So, vic Us, your birthday Saturday? Did you celebrate with uh?
Speaker 2: With any kind of conviction? Given the game?
Speaker 6: Ah, that's lucky. My bobbleheads weren't close to throw at
Speaker 6: the TV.
Speaker 2: That's good. No, vic I'm sure you have a bunch
Speaker 2: of buddies who think the same way you do.
Speaker 17: No.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I'm really close with my nephew and
Speaker 6: he's close with Troy. Talk to him all the time,
Speaker 6: and he's just really scared now about the postseason and
Speaker 6: I and you know, I was really pumped up about
Speaker 6: this whole thing, and I'm scared out you.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, what what has to happen Saturday? Aside from
Speaker 3: a win obviously, but what has to happen Saturday to
Speaker 3: not lose your mind about this football team?
Speaker 6: You know what? Like you guys said, just play well.
Speaker 6: Offensive line can't have no running for his life. I
Speaker 6: played terrible. I thought he did. He threw some ducks
Speaker 6: up there, which I hadn't seen in forever. Yeah, just
Speaker 6: just play well.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, okay, we'll see what about.
Speaker 6: And then I got Steve. I gotta tell you, you
Speaker 6: know what. I saw Jay as a tailgate the first week,
Speaker 6: and I'm the only one. He invites Nico and you
Speaker 6: and everybody to tailgate and I still haven't got an involved.
Speaker 3: Dude, you look like you were holding court where you
Speaker 3: were sitting there. I mean, I'm going to take And then.
Speaker 6: He comes on on the raid and says he has
Speaker 6: all kind of left over sickens and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: You were you taking selfies over there in the corner.
Speaker 6: Yeah that was me.
Speaker 3: That was Oh you know what, Vic, we were out
Speaker 3: of beer. That's why I didn't invite you. You'd had
Speaker 3: to just take a cup of ice.
Speaker 6: No worry, Okay, you guys, all right.
Speaker 3: I did run into Vic. I guess I should have said, hey, man,
Speaker 3: you gotta come over. But you know what, he was
Speaker 3: holding court? Yeah, he was with a bunch of guys
Speaker 3: sitting on that wall right there in front of Michale.
Speaker 2: Okay, he's up. He's a pretty passionate us texting you
Speaker 2: throw out the game, saying this is.
Speaker 3: All right on our on our Twitter, Tommy the UPS
Speaker 3: guy calling out VIC saying, imagine saying, the team that
Speaker 3: scored sixty one points sucks, Come on Vic to go. Tommy,
Speaker 3: you're I agree with you one hundred percent. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The thing Tommy though, is a sensible guy too. He Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's not a one sided guy. I think that Tommy
Speaker 2: might feel a little in the middle.
Speaker 3: Hey, look, has Arizona looked the way you expected him
Speaker 3: to look?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 3: No, but they're not terrible. No, what's terrible? D? Huh
Speaker 3: Yeah they're they're Yeah, they're they're not a D team there,
Speaker 3: you know they have you know, look this this NAU
Speaker 3: game was you know, like okay, this you know, got
Speaker 3: one more call. We got to let's take it's.
Speaker 2: Got to go about a minute. Give us a quick
Speaker 2: called back, just quick called back and give us your thoughts.
Speaker 2: We'll be ready for it. We saw too, you know.
Speaker 3: Again we go where were going? Let's take this. Hi,
Speaker 3: you're on the air and I on the ball.
Speaker 19: Yeah, Hey, this fight the uh hey so like the
Speaker 19: but it's uh, I'm not that worried about Arizona right now,
Speaker 19: because you know, one any U comes into this game
Speaker 19: like their Super Bowl. We come in. We came in
Speaker 19: like it was a Wednesday practice, kind of woke up
Speaker 19: a little bit.
Speaker 7: The concern that I've got though, is that we looked
Speaker 7: at I mean, obviously score a lot of points against
Speaker 7: New Mexico, but the uh, the question is they doubled
Speaker 7: the team ac a lot in a deal, and we
Speaker 7: didn't seem.
Speaker 19: To have another option that was reliable. So I'm just
Speaker 19: wondering if you think people are gonna see that and
Speaker 19: where we're gonna go from there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no question, Well thanks Mike, we got to go.
Speaker 3: But my issue was that with that was that No,
Speaker 3: I didn't have time to find somebody else. He was
Speaker 3: on the run all night long. He was under pressure
Speaker 3: all night long. And then they didn't have jmc right,
Speaker 3: they didn't have the right so they just got to
Speaker 3: you know, the blocking in the backfield wasn't good. I mean,
Speaker 3: they just didn't protect him and give him time to throw. Now,
Speaker 3: you would expect that whatever was going on there, that
Speaker 3: that was happening. That's one of the things that they've
Speaker 3: got to fix for Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Now realize they can't afford to lose those guys, right,
Speaker 2: they're not deep on the line. They're not deep, and
Speaker 2: that's going to be crucial moving forward.
Speaker 3: Right and it's going to be crucial this Saturday against
Speaker 3: Kansas State, against against the top UH power power four team.
Speaker 2: I think they'll be okay. Running back wise, we've got
Speaker 2: to go. But because the kids did really well, but
Speaker 2: your offensive and defensive lines are unlive as usual, the
Speaker 2: best things you need.
Speaker 3: Yep, Okay, okay, we'll be right back.
