WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.319 This is I on the Ball with Steve Rivera on 2 00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:08.679 Fox Sports fourteenth fifty powered by Nova Insurance Services Insure 3 00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:10.519 your most prized possessions. 4 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.160 They're good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Iron the Ball here 5 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.120 on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera and with 6 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:23.160 me today is my Tuesday guy, Dave Silver and we 7 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.559 got our guy Ryan as well, my Tuesday guy. Good afternoon, gentlemen. 8 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.480 Do you want to continue to beat a dead horse? 9 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.880 What's what's that? What's the horse? It's a horse that 10 00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.079 got beat by Texas Tech. Oh okay, save a horse, 11 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.719 rad a cowboy. 12 00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.240 Pretty impressive performance for them to come into town and 13 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.079 do what they did. Was it that or was it 14 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.840 the other way around where the other guys couldn't got 15 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.840 the turnover graituation right? 16 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.679 You know, I think I think you can bring up 17 00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.240 a point, whether it's by accident or whatever. But you're 18 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.960 right because it takes two right two teams. Texas Tate 19 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.799 played pretty well. Texas Tech and what I say, I 20 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.840 don't know Texas State, that's what is out like Texas 21 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.760 Tech plaid pretty well. That side is not being ignored 22 00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:17.159 by those who know UH and Arizona didn't play that well, 23 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.400 but you know the Texas had to play well to 24 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.480 get to to get the win. Yeah. 25 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.000 Well, I mean the Wildcats had those turnovers, and especially 26 00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.879 was sad because it was a couple of their best 27 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.480 players who've been so good for the last few years. 28 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.560 Kind of a shame it came down to that, right, 29 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.439 But yeah, you can't have turnovers, and that's basically what 30 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.079 cost them the game because they had more yards, they 31 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.280 had the ball a lot longer, they just could not 32 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.159 convert and obviously they were just kicking field goals most 33 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:43.799 of the game instead of scoring touchdowns. 34 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.359 Right, Yeah, no, I brought the two guys up. You know, 35 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.719 when you can't rely in your guarantees, it's trouble. The 36 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.760 capes were not there with with t Mac and the loop, right, 37 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.239 you kind of depend on them. What you messed up? 38 00:01:58.280 --> 00:01:59.799 That never happens. Yeah, and Noah. 39 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.799 But two interceptions interceptions the three key guys. Yeah, those 40 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.159 because Arizona's counted on all all along the last couple 41 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:07.439 of years. 42 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.439 And maybe you think, if you're an Arizona fan, it's 43 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.599 a one off. But that's not the disheartening part of 44 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.039 this concerning part uh is the is the the thought 45 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:18.719 that he said that they don't even know what they're 46 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:23.319 doing running. Yeah, you know, it's like the three students, 47 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.960 whyse guy, you know how they go in those in 48 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.479 those directions. Yeah, and he kind of explained it a 49 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.199 little bit more. But everybody's doing it apparently, and they're 50 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.919 gonna have to fix that sooner than later. But you've 51 00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:37.599 been here longer than me, Dave. You've lived it, you've 52 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:39.719 seen it, you've kind of defend it in your your 53 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.639 capacity of being working for the UBI. That and I 54 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.560 say this a thousand times. People are probably listening to 55 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.159 shut up Steve. When they don't expect to win, they 56 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.360 get it. When you don't know what's going to happen, 57 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:49.840 they lose it. 58 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.599 Yeah, it's kind of the beauty of sports, especially at 59 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.280 Arizona in the last fifty years. It seems like those 60 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.479 games that they don't always expect to get the victory. 61 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.280 They'll go out to USC and win a football game, 62 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.319 right a b YU this week, and who knows what's 63 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.840 going to happen to Utah? Go to Utah and do 64 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.639 what they did a couple of weeks ago. So it's 65 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.039 it's it's kind of the nature of sports. I'm sure 66 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.240 Texas Tech probably, who knows how they felt coming in 67 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:16.520 They were had a good record, they were underdogs and 68 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:18.280 you know they held their own right. 69 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.199 No, and there's no better team that's an underdog than Arizona. 70 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.280 We're also no worse team as a favorite, yeah, than Arizona. Well. 71 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.479 The funny thing too, I guess I know. 72 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:28.879 I think it was Brian Peterson and one of the 73 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.439 local guys mentioned how yeah we have He's talked about 74 00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.919 how they that was the number one twiss that loss 75 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.639 after they beat a top ten time, it's unbelievable. 76 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.360 We talked to that was the number one tweet and 77 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:40.800 I told her that that was the tweet of the 78 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.000 night because it's true. Let me tell you if you 79 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:45.800 did that for basketball as basketball, guess what you'd find 80 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.639 the same thing. How in the world do you explain 81 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.120 ninety seven and then come back and say, how do 82 00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.680 you explain ninety eight? Yeah? Same difference, Yeah, same same situation. 83 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.280 When you're when you are the favorite team and you've 84 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.479 knocked off all kinds of you know, good teams ahead 85 00:03:58.479 --> 00:03:59.599 of that, and then all of a sudden you turn 86 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.960 around laying egg. It's just kind of kind of the 87 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.400 nature of sports sometimes, especially when you're dealing with you know, 88 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:06.479 eighteen to twenty two. 89 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.479 Year olds, right right, I think it happens as you 90 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.400 get older. But you're right. I mean, I think the 91 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.240 big head, we can get this, don't worry, we can 92 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.479 do this, don't worry. And then what happens, Well, you 93 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.000 start to worry when you're down by ten. 94 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.079 Yeah, well, you know, they had their chances, and they 95 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.360 did make a nice comeback and actually take the lead, 96 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.519 and then it just kind of evaporated there when they 97 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.600 really had a chance to put them away. So yeah, 98 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.439 you know, hopefully they'll learn from this and we'll forget 99 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.680 about it and see what happens in the next month 100 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:32.120 or so. 101 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.839 So I said this history, So, Dave, how many learning 102 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.560 lessons do you need six weeks in? Yeah, I don't know. 103 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.680 I sound like a coach. I don't know. They well, 104 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.720 that's the ya all, they'll learn from this. Well, really, 105 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.160 how do you know for sure that they're going to 106 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.920 learn from this? I think you were with me last 107 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.279 week and I said, I said to Mike yesterday and 108 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.399 the week before. Okay, they're they're three and two, four 109 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.680 and two? What are they? What? I three and two. Whatever? 110 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.120 Do you trust this team? Do you trust going into 111 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.519 last week? Do you trust this team? Paid three mediocre games, 112 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.399 got beat by badly by Kenn State, then they paid 113 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.360 really well against you Testes. So you have that in 114 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.639 front of you. It's like a racing form, right, Okay, okay, 115 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.800 maybe this horse can do it. And you think, I 116 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:14.279 don't know if I want to put my money on 117 00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.439 this horse, you know, raging Bull, because I don't think 118 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.879 he's a rage here, I don't know. 119 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.480 Caught me off guard this week. I think everybody in 120 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.439 the stadium was excited. He was the The eight pm 121 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.800 starting time made made things for a very long night. 122 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.319 I mean I was actually there. I have to admit 123 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.160 I stayed until the last turnover for the There was 124 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:40.120 like a minute and a half to go. They still 125 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:40.920 scored another touch. 126 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.079 That's good, but. 127 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.519 Anyway, yeah, I mean it was it was a long 128 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.040 night and I think everybody, I think the majority of 129 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.000 the people there had high hopes going in and sure 130 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.839 the way it was, They're coming off, you know, one 131 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.959 of their biggest wins in a while, and you know, 132 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.920 home game got a lot ahead of them though, got 133 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.560 homecoming and on a family weekend and ASU, so there's 134 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.360 still a lot more to do. 135 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.040 Yeah. I don't trust this team. I don't. I just 136 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.519 don't not. You know, I am a racing form guy. 137 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.279 You look at the past performances and doesn't give you 138 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.560 hope that they're going to do well. And they could 139 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.240 prove me wrong, of course, because you have upsets and 140 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.160 all that stuff. But if they win this weekend, that 141 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:19.079 too won't shock me. 142 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.560 Right, right, I mean they're going up there. I assume 143 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.399 there is. I haven't even looked at the spread. 144 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:24.959 What for? 145 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:26.639 That's it? Wow? 146 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.079 Okay, yeah, yeah, so that's that's good. 147 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:30.680 That's good. 148 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.639 Fox Sports is going to be there with their right 149 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.560 or whatever they call their show, Big Big Big Noon 150 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:37.480 Kickoff or something. 151 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.920 That's interesting that they picked that game. Yeah, well, yeah, 152 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.279 you're right. With all the other games going on, maybe 153 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:45.879 ESPN had control of the other ones. Yeah, because you're right. 154 00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:51.839 This weekend's a huge weekend with Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, State State. Yeah, 155 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:53.759 and that's just a couple of them, Mississippi. 156 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.720 This was a weekend a lot of people have been 157 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.920 talking about coming, you know, into the season, like, wow, 158 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.519 look at the slate of game. So you know, Arizona 159 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.839 getting some good, good coverage. They'll be in on on 160 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.439 Fox all by themselves, not at eleven o'clock Eastern time. 161 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.279 Well pm, we'll see if it's let's see if it's 162 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:12.680 good coverage, because I don't know if you want to 163 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.600 see them, because if they don't show up, they're gonna 164 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:16.959 say what's up with that? And then they did the 165 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.040 other night when they've been on Friday Night in ESPN. 166 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.720 This this team was right. They had the whole nation 167 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.199 nation watching that, right, right, and I think the whole 168 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.399 nation kind of turned away at the halftime a little 169 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.240 after halftime. Yeah, so we'll see. And I don't want 170 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.199 to poop pull them all the time, but but after 171 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.639 performances like that, what else can we say? I mean, honestly, 172 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.160 this is what we do in this business. You kind 173 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.360 of evaluate, you know, the Monday morning quarterback, the Tuesday 174 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.600 morning quarterback or afternoon quarterback. What do you say? What 175 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.800 was what was good? What good came out of it? Loop? 176 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.160 Well, Loop was was really good until who's that? Until 177 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:53.879 until well he missed one late and that kind of 178 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.920 I forget that would have put Arizona head by what five? 179 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.079 Maybe I can't remember. Exactly what the circumstance was. That 180 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:01.639 would have been a big one. 181 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.399 What the hell do I know? Couldn't even say Texas dead. 182 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.399 Just I mean, I was like flashing back to Dick 183 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.839 Tony all those Well he was great kickers. 184 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.680 Here, well yeah, plus but he was a master of 185 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.680 executive what we're talking about, go in, beat the team, 186 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:19.000 come back upset. You don't even know how we had 187 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.839 George mala Ulu on that and it happened a few times. Yeah, 188 00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.120 you covered it back then. That was, Yes, these unexplainable 189 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:27.839 losses and unexplainable wins. 190 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.480 Yeah, well we all Arizona also had that, and you know, 191 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.360 unbelievable defense too, going in those shores where you know 192 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.159 they they just weren't going to give up more than 193 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.840 you know, twenty points maybe, so the offense didn't have 194 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:41.519 to do all. 195 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.240 That much right, and they didn't. They didn't. 196 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.039 But you know, George was good in those years. I'm 197 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.480 trying to remember. There was with the Bobby Waters mala 198 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.799 Ulu period, I. 199 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.240 Think, but Bobby Waters will that's nineteen eighty seven, my 200 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:57.240 first year Bobby Waters road running veal Ulux trick Levy 201 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.759 came in right after him. Hockey he met, He mentioned 202 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:03.600 him Johnson, there's a lot of especially those early mid 203 00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:06.159 nineties when they were you know, the desert's warm and 204 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.480 they played really well. Those are a long time. That's 205 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.240 thirty years ago, Son, and more than that, they're all 206 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.519 thirty about it, old man, and people still wish for 207 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.720 those days. Yeah, it's come like basketball, well never when well, 208 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.960 never when? Come on? And how many how old do 209 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:24.399 you have to be? 210 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.559 Yeah, guys don't sticker stick around in basketball? At least 211 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.120 in football they still have. They usually usually they stayed 212 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.039 at least a couple of years now, but in basketball, 213 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.320 not so much, no more. 214 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:36.279 Not so much. So. So if you're out doing your 215 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.840 old job, which you were doing before, working for or 216 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.279 for a group, right, tell me what? Yeah, which which? 217 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.440 Which college is social behavioral Sciences? Okay, and let's go 218 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.559 even before that where you went to the foundation? That foundation? 219 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.440 So would it be tough because everyone talks the sports 220 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:54.399 is the front ports of. 221 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.519 The Yeah, oh definitely. I mean if I'm on going 222 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.440 on a trip and I'm going to visit alumni any where, 223 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.480 I'm as a sports person, I'm always looking at what 224 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.799 it's just happening. What's the news of the because you 225 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.960 know you're going to be asked exactly and I can 226 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:09.399 bring it up and I can talk about it, and 227 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.519 I can talk about my my background or experience or 228 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:14.519 if I'd been at that particular game. But so it 229 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.960 was definitely something, and there were there's other things that 230 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.360 I enjoyed other than. 231 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.600 Just talking sports with people too. 232 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.879 I love just talking about Tucson and what's going on 233 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.159 here with with you know, downtown. I mean literally Downtown 234 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.919 changed when I was in that job, to the point 235 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.360 where you're talking to a lums who went to school 236 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.840 here and said, oh, we never used to go to 237 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.759 downtowns and now everybody goes downtown. 238 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.559 It's a great place. And you're you're a pragmatic guy, 239 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.039 nice guy, perfect for that job where you're not going 240 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.679 to say, yeah, they suck, you know you don't. You're 241 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.320 not going to be honest, not honest, you don't really 242 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:47.159 forth right with them. 243 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:49.360 It depends on who I'm talking to. I mean a 244 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:52.159 lot of them, you know, they're they're diehards. I mean, 245 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.519 I have to admit, Arizona lums really care and they 246 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.639 pay attention no matter where they are. And I was 247 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.600 lucky enough to travel literally from coast to coast. I mean, 248 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.440 I'm on the East Coast, and people are, you know, 249 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.279 of course, complaining about the game times, and I mean 250 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:07.759 that's just the way it works. There's not going to 251 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.200 be too many early starts, and so they're used to 252 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.320 staying up late and watching them play, and they're they're 253 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:15.679 school So. 254 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.240 You travel a lot. To me, I don't think I've 255 00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:19.200 asked you this since you've been on the show. I 256 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:23.000 guess you have at least a mind view of where 257 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:27.919 the alums are here a lot, obviously, Phoenix some yes, 258 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:32.799 Southern California yes, and then where else in the country. 259 00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.320 Well, the Bay Area is big, Seattle's big, and all 260 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:44.159 all the big cities in the West, Denver is large, Portland, Dallas, Houston, Chicago. 261 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.960 I mean really all the big cities have there's like 262 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.559 almost three hundred thousand living alums around the world. Well, 263 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.759 I went there everywhere, So this is the nextico because 264 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:55.480 you know, I'm in the nonprofit business as well somewhere else. 265 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.960 So of the three hundred thousand lums, how many of 266 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.720 them contribute? 267 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:03.559 That's that's a good question. 268 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.279 It's probably I probably don't have that answer that I 269 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:06.840 could give you. 270 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:09.559 But it's it's not a large number because I think 271 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.960 in the nonprofit genre or area, it's anywhere from twelve 272 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:14.840 to eighteen percent. 273 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.440 I was going to say it might even be less. 274 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.679 So it's it's interesting. I don't I don't want to 275 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.360 be quoted on that. I mean, we can check that 276 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.240 number next time maybe, but it's not a big number. 277 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.639 I mean, and it's the same it's the same people. 278 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.039 That's that's the case too, And so our job was 279 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:32.600 really to uncover new people. That that's really the part, 280 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.320 you know, because of the big donors are kind of 281 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.039 exposed already and know who they are. But that's kind 282 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.720 of the part of the game is finding people who 283 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.840 are interested in whom who have a passion for something 284 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:48.200 that the UFA is doing. And it's very surprising sometimes 285 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.320 when you start talking to someone you think, oh, this 286 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.399 guy was a you know, a history major. 287 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:53.600 And he's going to give to the history department. 288 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.519 Next thing you know, he's you know, he wants to 289 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.879 give to cancer or he wants to give to athletics. 290 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.679 I mean, it was it was an interesting process. So 291 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:05.639 I'm Joe, Joe, Joe millionaire or one thousand thousand are 292 00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:09.039 and I see my phone. Dave Silver's coming to town. 293 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.639 Oh damn it. Did you ever get did you ever 294 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.200 get some? God? I can't. 295 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.679 I don't have any more money to give day. Oh yes, 296 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.679 did you feet? Every excuse? Every you hear all the stories. 297 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.559 It's just part of the part. 298 00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.320 Of the job. So so sorry, I can't meet with 299 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.159 you for dinner, right? Is that what I'm paying? And 300 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.039 I'm paying for it. But that's just how that's how 301 00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.159 it works. You timeshare people. No, yeah, it's almost No, 302 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:32.960 it's not that bad. 303 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.320 I mean the fact that they we know that they're 304 00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:38.799 interested in the school. They went to the school and graduated, 305 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.600 so we know there's some interest. So I'm not just 306 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.600 sure you don't just walk in as a total complete stranger. 307 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:44.799 No, they know you're but. 308 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.600 They want to They want to know and they understand. 309 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.000 People understand philanthropy. 310 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.440 You cut the tail end or the beginning of You 311 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.840 were at the tail end of the beginning of nil. 312 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.440 Did you see that there was not a conflict but 313 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.960 an issue because now you're seen the money over here, 314 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.639 and then people are starting to go into that he's 315 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:05.399 got pockets. 316 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.600 Yeah again, I wasn't really how do I put this 317 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.559 like day to day. I wasn't really concentrating on athletic money. 318 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.720 I mean it sometimes would come in, but there were 319 00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.120 a few donors every so often who would ask me, 320 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:23.120 who is this group that's contacted me. They're not are 321 00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:25.679 they with the U of A or are they some organization? 322 00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.759 So that question was popping up. 323 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.320 In the last year or so. There was an inter 324 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.080 twenty yeah whatever, that intermingling. 325 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.879 Yeah, I mean, you know, for people who have been 326 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:40.039 giving consistently to campus or to athletics or somewhere and 327 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.720 all of a sudden, you know, is this the same 328 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:43.799 thing or is this different? 329 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.200 So there was some explanation that needs to be done. Oh, 330 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.039 we got to take a break. But last quick question. 331 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:51.799 Did it become territorial from like guys like you with 332 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.399 people like from the U Sports Athletic Department. No, I 333 00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:57.799 mean know what I'm saying. Yeah, but it was. 334 00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:02.840 If I'm well, I mean, if there's a donor that's 335 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.519 going to give to athletics, I need to work with 336 00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:05.440 the athletics people. 337 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:07.840 My colleagues there, so we were all together on the 338 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.399 same boat. 339 00:15:08.480 --> 00:15:10.960 But I would discover people they would alway say, hey, 340 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:13.039 wait a second, this is a person who's been given 341 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:14.840 to athletics and now he wants to give to journalism. 342 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.799 So they would call me because I was supporting journalism. 343 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:18.879 So that's kind of how it works. 344 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:20.960 Okay, we got to go take a Breakreen and get 345 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.960 back with our first guests.
