Speaker 1: Going on with that, But happy Monday everyone out there.
Speaker 1: Here's truly mill on a Monday.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know, it's been a while. It feels good to
Speaker 1: be back. Then I start off with some local stuff.
Speaker 1: University of Arizona. We have to catch up from last week.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Senior Colton Smith was named the Big Twelve
Speaker 1: Player of the Year for the men's tennis team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not a shockra did they Did they play
Speaker 3: this weekend? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, I'll wait for you to finish.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So this year's team is twenty six and four. They
Speaker 1: got to host their opening regional and here in Tucson.
Speaker 1: They beat Denver for zero. They beat Harvard for zero
Speaker 1: onto the Sweet sixteen starting this Saturday at Virginia.
Speaker 3: Virginia. So Virginia, what they're ranking about seven three? I think,
Speaker 3: so something like that. Okay, So now this is where
Speaker 3: that always gets tough. This is the Tommy Lloyd Moments sixteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting. That's good.
Speaker 1: It's good for them regardless. It's a solid team, so
Speaker 1: they'll be able to compete with anyone. And then you have,
Speaker 1: of course the Big twelve Player of the Year. That
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt at all. The women's team was also selected
Speaker 1: to go into the NCAA Tournament nineteen and eleven. This year,
Speaker 1: they got bounced in the first game too against Illinois,
Speaker 1: one to four.
Speaker 2: Still a pretty good season, yep. The softball team.
Speaker 1: Forty three and ten right now, they had their regular
Speaker 1: season finale at Houston where they swept the Cougars. They
Speaker 1: played the winner of UCF in Utah in their first
Speaker 1: game of the Big twelve Softball Tournament Championship.
Speaker 5: Probably expecting UCF there. I know they gave Arizona a
Speaker 5: little trouble early on in the year, but I mean
Speaker 5: usually a consistent program at uc UP.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I believe they were coming off one of those invitational
Speaker 1: or they had a good performance Arizona and UCF came
Speaker 1: to town Sheldon. What's what so onto baseball thirty three
Speaker 1: and fourteen this season. They had their series against TCU
Speaker 1: this past weekend, got the series win, didn't sweep. They
Speaker 1: lost the Sunday game to thirteen to six. Tomorrow they
Speaker 1: have a matchup at Grand Canyon where they usually have trouble.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always that one, that team, and that's that
Speaker 3: one team they played earlier this season they won well,
Speaker 3: say they've.
Speaker 1: Played them twice at GCU, they lost eleven to five.
Speaker 1: They came back into twos on one fourteen to four.
Speaker 1: So I guess you can say they're looking to win
Speaker 1: the series in the rubber match. Yeah, that's what they
Speaker 1: call it. Yep, what it is. And then they'll finish
Speaker 1: off this week with the series against Utah go on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 2: And then is it almost over?
Speaker 1: And then after that they got their their regular season
Speaker 1: finale at Houston, kind of similar to softball there, they'll
Speaker 1: they'll probably go a little bit far in the postseason.
Speaker 5: Should you know, be in line to host the regional
Speaker 5: I know they're lower ranked in terms of the National Bowls,
Speaker 5: but given that they're probably gonna win the Big twelve
Speaker 5: and potentially win the Big Twell Tournament, they should be
Speaker 5: up there. So the only thing that matters what you
Speaker 5: do in the postseason.
Speaker 3: Though that's sure exactly right, not fair, but it is.
Speaker 2: What it is. The older the older guy likes it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's giving me crap about being older because there's
Speaker 3: no momentum. But there's momentum in March. There's momentum in
Speaker 3: the playoffs. That's when you need it.
Speaker 1: More importantly, Arizona Basketball hired a new staff member as
Speaker 1: an assistant coach, Brandon Chappelle.
Speaker 2: Where's he from?
Speaker 5: M Troy from Tech Well coached the past three seasons
Speaker 5: at Texas and played at Lamar, where he also coached
Speaker 5: as well in the state of Texas.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, but his connection to Arizona.
Speaker 5: Is Jack Murphy when it was a grad assistant at
Speaker 5: NAU when Jack Murphy was the head coach at Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, Hiley, how you thought of Ian House?
Speaker 2: Pretty much? Pretty much?
Speaker 5: Young, talented, top level recruiter helped Texas get a lot
Speaker 5: of big time recruits in his three seasons with lawn Horns.
Speaker 3: Right, we'll see if that makes a difference with Robinson
Speaker 3: Gunn a new frush facing inside, the older guy out,
Speaker 3: and the new guy in. So I guess my past
Speaker 3: year is going to come out here pretty soon at
Speaker 3: some point, but stay up by law for the time being.
Speaker 1: Arizona basketball also got a commitment from South Suiting.
Speaker 2: He's big man. Oh here we go. Yeah, my Bill
Speaker 2: Mawatt con mobble.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure that works, so so tell me about him there.
Speaker 5: Senior athletic big six eleven defensive mind shoot a little
Speaker 5: bit as well.
Speaker 2: Probably a project player.
Speaker 3: Well let me say this, didn't dear we have a
Speaker 3: guy like that on maybe not can shoot it. But
Speaker 3: about the guy who went to you know we oh yeah,
Speaker 3: well he was seven footer, so missing.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: They projects don't stay anymore.
Speaker 5: They don't that they're not bought in. You've Omar was
Speaker 5: Omar Malo was a project player. He also thought Temmy
Speaker 5: was his dad.
Speaker 2: I mean they had that relationship.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you got to find the right mixture. They
Speaker 5: also got how do you say his name? City? Yeah,
Speaker 5: another six to eleven player, more of a defensive minded player,
Speaker 5: kind of like Christian Colloco. Very good defensively, but very
Speaker 5: raw offensively. These guys I don't expect them to play
Speaker 5: a lot this upcoming season, but you never know.
Speaker 2: Come to March, well happened.
Speaker 3: That's the thing, and then you don't ever know if
Speaker 3: we're going to stick around another year. I mean Stephens
Speaker 3: was one of those guys.
Speaker 2: Well, he was one of those guys.
Speaker 5: They tried a red shirt and he basically flat out
Speaker 5: told him I don't want a red shirt. I want
Speaker 5: to play. And then the injury to Krevas happened. They said, okay,
Speaker 5: let's play him in a couple of games. They burn
Speaker 5: his red shirt and all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: That when they burn your red shirt and you don't
Speaker 3: play that much, do you know whether you're telling you
Speaker 3: you're not that good, You're not arison of good.
Speaker 2: You're talented, but you're not there yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it'll take a while to get I think
Speaker 3: that was a good move to good to Josh and
Speaker 3: see what he does at you and LB. But that's
Speaker 3: the problem with the transfer portal and all that. You
Speaker 3: can't you can't get them to you can't coach them
Speaker 3: up for a long period of time. You can't read
Speaker 3: shirt players anymore. It's hard to do well. Everybody's thought
Speaker 3: of this being really good. That's why you're brought me here, right.
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying this is the way it was
Speaker 5: for Steven, But everybody and your mom tells you you're
Speaker 5: the greatest thing. And then you go to a coach
Speaker 5: that says, you know what, you need a little season
Speaker 5: and you need a little developing. We're going to redshirt you. Well,
Speaker 5: that's the coaches problem. That's not your problem. He doesn't
Speaker 5: see your vision you need to transfer. And it happens
Speaker 5: a lot of it happens everywhere, happens everywhere. Everyone tells
Speaker 5: me and their moms. I'm looking guy, I don't believe it.
Speaker 5: You shouldn't.
Speaker 3: I'm realistic, So I don't transfer, don't, don't follow the momentum.
Speaker 3: More exciting news for Arizona basketball. They'll be opening up
Speaker 3: next season against defending champs to Florida Gators in Vegas.
Speaker 3: Booking that booking that game. Where is it gonna be
Speaker 3: played at at Tamo Arena? Uh no, better venue? Get
Speaker 3: the get your reservations now. I've already liked to know.
Speaker 3: It's just there. Get your reservations now. Expect to pay
Speaker 3: twenty dollars for pizza.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and that's the cheap meal. That's the cheap meal.
Speaker 1: This is just another highlight to the non conference where
Speaker 1: they play Florida.
Speaker 2: Of course, they go to u C.
Speaker 3: L A.
Speaker 1: They play into it Dome. That will to Yukon. They'll
Speaker 1: play Auburn here at home. They'll go to Alabama and
Speaker 1: Birmingham and uh Bucknell to be determined.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, but I think Bruce released a couple more
Speaker 5: west most of them already. But man that you talk
Speaker 5: about a gauntlet, and we talked about it to open
Speaker 5: this show. But gotta love it. I mean that that's
Speaker 5: to me, that's what you have to do. And you see,
Speaker 5: no question, do it.
Speaker 2: No question.
Speaker 3: Be good early, be good late, and we'll see how
Speaker 3: good you need to be.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: You got to get improved. I think if Brian comes back,
Speaker 3: they'll beginning they're gonna be fantastic. If he doesn't come back,
Speaker 3: they're still going to be very good.
Speaker 2: But but how do you feel that spot? Yeah, how
Speaker 2: do you feel it?
Speaker 3: Well, it depends on you know, these guys, the Pizza
Speaker 3: and the k all these guys and how maybe they do.
Speaker 2: Maybe they do.
Speaker 5: Well, they'll be good in terms of that. I just
Speaker 5: mean in terms of if he doesn't come back, you
Speaker 5: know they're going to look into the portal.
Speaker 2: Sure, what are you able to grab?
Speaker 3: I'm told that he's looking at the portal and he's
Speaker 3: gonna get somebody good.
Speaker 2: If that happens, I mean, that's I mean, that's that's usually.
Speaker 5: Hey, they thought trade Townsend was looking in the portal
Speaker 5: getting something good. Kentucky and Arizona really wanted trade Townsend.
Speaker 5: And Arizona won that and then at the end of
Speaker 5: the year, you're like, did.
Speaker 2: They really do that?
Speaker 3: No, he's I think this next year will be fine
Speaker 3: him man do Yeah, well, Tray Tray's gone, right, I
Speaker 3: thought Dolors was back and Tree's gone. Yeah, okay walks back.
Speaker 3: I'm sure, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, well then Townson won't
Speaker 3: be ready. I was thinking Towns that, I meaning in
Speaker 3: my head, thinking of what. Okay.
Speaker 1: Arizona football got a commitment from x Issue offensive lineman
Speaker 1: and brother of men's basketball sign he called Pete.
Speaker 2: Pete. Yeah, tell me about.
Speaker 5: Him, big tackle as talent was a I think a
Speaker 5: three start re group coming out of high school. But
Speaker 5: let's be honest, like colop once at the University of Arizona,
Speaker 5: copy probably is going to get at the Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's good. I mean, if you service boy,
Speaker 3: he can play kind of maybe.
Speaker 5: You need death on the line, you need you need pieces.
Speaker 1: Continue with Arizona football. They got a return from the
Speaker 1: Portal and Kean Burnett.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 3: We saw that this morning, right yesterday history, which is
Speaker 3: great because obviously his dad is a is a good
Speaker 3: legacy guy. Chester Burnett, you know, took a chance in
Speaker 3: Kansas and then decided to come back, which is good.
Speaker 3: He knows the program, knows the people good, right, they
Speaker 3: needed the tight end.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, you look at the tight end group.
Speaker 5: Tyler Palell had a terrific Spring showcase and terrific spring
Speaker 5: in general, but after that it was a little thin.
Speaker 5: Some guys that you brought in just really didn't look
Speaker 5: the part. And you're gonna need more than one tight
Speaker 5: end throughout a college football season. You have the new
Speaker 5: tight end coach, Josh Miller, so it brings in another
Speaker 5: former Wildcat, well, former wildcat now wildcat.
Speaker 3: Do you think I've talked to you since the spring showcase,
Speaker 3: but were you surprised me the number of people who left,
Speaker 3: the people who left, and do you think there could
Speaker 3: be more?
Speaker 2: No, Well, the windows closed so they can't enter.
Speaker 3: The bull by the time new season starts. Windows closed,
Speaker 3: so transfer everyone's coming to come back.
Speaker 5: Everybody's coming back at this point, the ones that entered
Speaker 5: the portal justin Flow, guys like that. I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5: Isaiah Johnson, maybe a little bit shocking, but you know,
Speaker 5: Flow wasn't gonna play at all this season. It was
Speaker 5: gonna be in a special teams role. Yeah, he's gonna
Speaker 5: play at U and LV, so good for him, and
Speaker 5: I think he really liked Tucson you and LV. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he'll be there, so the only thing I was shocked at.
Speaker 5: I thought he was happy just being on the team.
Speaker 5: Isaiah Johnson talented d tackle that just can't stay healthy.
Speaker 5: You know they brought He's gonna go to North Carolina
Speaker 5: with Bill Belichick. Size is a premium. I think if
Speaker 5: he's healthy he will play for them. But his his
Speaker 5: biggest question is can you stay on the field or
Speaker 5: or the knicks and bruises throughout the season going to
Speaker 5: keep you off the field.
Speaker 1: Arizona football also got a commitment from former Jackson State
Speaker 1: long snapper Avery Learn.
Speaker 2: And that that is something they needed to fill the.
Speaker 3: Rich red guy. Uh long snapper, you said, Jackson Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: Jackson State. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5: You know, it's a position that not a lot of
Speaker 5: people look at. But when you don't have one, then
Speaker 5: you notice.
Speaker 3: You said Jackson or jacts Jacksonville State, Jacksonville States. But definitely,
Speaker 3: I mean when you don't you notice it and just
Speaker 3: spirit is not good enough?
Speaker 2: Is that a challenge? Are you challenging just I saw?
Speaker 3: I saw him do it. It was not good enough.
Speaker 2: It wasn't qualify. I'm not joking, of course, but we saw.
Speaker 5: Him at the Yeah, we did see him a little
Speaker 5: wide left, but it got there.
Speaker 2: Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby took place this weekend Sovereignty one and journalism
Speaker 1: did not pay off, did not pay.
Speaker 2: No, you got your money back. You got it.
Speaker 3: Was paid five bucks to pen a second. So if
Speaker 3: you played it right, they did hit the track pack
Speaker 3: down and then Baffo tours I led for most most
Speaker 3: a half of it and which not a surprise, and
Speaker 3: then it faded.
Speaker 5: So he'll if he goes to Bricknance, he has a
Speaker 5: good chance to say how much do you think the
Speaker 5: weather played into a huge.
Speaker 3: And huge Uh? It was a nice riot, It was
Speaker 3: a nice race. Uh, but the two favorites were definitely
Speaker 3: one two and I think the distance was a little
Speaker 3: too much for for for journalism. But uh, we'll see Preknance.
Speaker 3: I think he'll win the Preaknance.
Speaker 1: A little side story to the Kentucky Derby. NBC sports
Speaker 1: caster Mike Terico uh left that the coverage that he
Speaker 1: was doing with.
Speaker 2: A nut allergy.

Speaker 3: about it. I've never do you have something anything like that?

Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back to ying the ball here on Fox
Speaker 3: Sports forteen fifty. I'm SCU Rivera and with me today's
Speaker 3: Troy Houses and from Go Easycats. Well, I'm working on
Speaker 3: the board now. We have uh, mister Bruce Pascal from
Speaker 3: the Arizona Daily Star. Bruce, how are you good?
Speaker 13: How are you guys doing?
Speaker 2: How's vacation?
Speaker 13: What?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 2: Uh July?
Speaker 3: I don't know, I know, wait too early. I remember
Speaker 3: those days. So it's like news every other day. Right
Speaker 3: last week you come up with the schedule. Today, you've
Speaker 3: got a new assistant coach.
Speaker 2: What do you know?
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I think it's been three days off since
Speaker 13: New Year's Day or something. Still, but but no, anyway,
Speaker 13: I mean I think they're getting close. They've got you know,
Speaker 13: they filled their staff opening with Brandon Chappelle, who worked
Speaker 13: with Jack Murphy for a couple of years early in
Speaker 13: his career at NAU. And you know, they've got I
Speaker 13: think the core of their you know, they've basically got
Speaker 13: enough to go with, you know, a rotation at this point,
Speaker 13: whether or not Carter Bryant comes back or not and
Speaker 13: be a you know, top twenty five team, maybe a
Speaker 13: lot better than that, you know, at this point, and
Speaker 13: so they're in pretty good shape. Maybe just gonn add
Speaker 13: a couple of pieces here or there, and then I
Speaker 13: think if Bryant leaves, maybe they they see if somebody
Speaker 13: else comes back from the NBA draft pool that might
Speaker 13: be willing to come here. But you know, I'm not
Speaker 13: even sure about that.
Speaker 3: So I would assume that Tommy's got his eye on
Speaker 3: somebody just in case Brian doesn't come back specifically, and
Speaker 3: we'll see, you know, maybe give me if he's a
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty that he has a chance, because I'm
Speaker 3: sure he's gonna get paid pretty well here, you know what.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, it's really it's crazy, Steve. I mean, you know,
Speaker 13: you know how it used to be like if you
Speaker 13: were late first or certainly if you were second round
Speaker 13: or mid second round or maybe on that bubble even
Speaker 13: getting drafts, then you might want to think about coming back.
Speaker 13: But the guys were going anyway because they just wanted
Speaker 13: to get going. And you know, and you could make
Speaker 13: you know, a few hundred thousand at the two way
Speaker 13: if you could get a two way contract. Now a
Speaker 13: two way contract does nothing, and it's five hundred six
Speaker 13: hundred thousand. Colleges are paying way more than that if
Speaker 13: you're a top you know, a top player, you know,
Speaker 13: a rotation player for a top twenty five teams. So
Speaker 13: it's really changed the equations. But that now, I think
Speaker 13: the borderline for guys to come or go seems to
Speaker 13: be around the middle of the first round, because if
Speaker 13: you can come back to college and make a million
Speaker 13: or two and still develop, uh and maybe even improve
Speaker 13: your stock, you know where late in the first round
Speaker 13: you're only looking here maybe making a couple of millions anyway,
Speaker 13: And if you're in, if you're projecting the first round,
Speaker 13: you know how good A lot of times you can
Speaker 13: slip to the second or even beyond that, Like there's
Speaker 13: been many guys like that, So maybe you don't want
Speaker 13: to take that chance and come back and get the
Speaker 13: ni own money. And that what what Carter Brant could do,
Speaker 13: and that initially that's what I thought, but lately I've
Speaker 13: seen three different pretty pretty credible mock drafts now have
Speaker 13: him number nine, and that's you know, that's that's kind
Speaker 13: of in that zone where you pretty much have to
Speaker 13: go if you really think, you know, if he's you know,
Speaker 13: if that looks really solid, and you know, and you
Speaker 13: never know what's being told behind the scenes or whatever,
Speaker 13: but a lot of times those major remarks, you know,
Speaker 13: are especially on the in the top half, are fairly accurate,
Speaker 13: you know, And so you got to think there's some
Speaker 13: intel going around right now where they really like Brian's upside.
Speaker 13: And it's not a hugely great draft after those, after those,
Speaker 13: you know, after Cooper Flags certainly, and some of the
Speaker 13: other top picks, and so I think there's some teams saying,
Speaker 13: you know what, this guy's got this huge upside, maybe
Speaker 13: he is worth a lottery pick, and you know, and
Speaker 13: if he does go top ten, then you're looking at
Speaker 13: like a gosh, I think a guaranteed deal of nine
Speaker 13: or ten million, maybe a little more than that. And uh,
Speaker 13: and that's kind of where maybe maybe he does go.
Speaker 13: So they a long story, a long way. What I'm
Speaker 13: saying is, if he really is the top ten pick,
Speaker 13: I don't think he does come back. A week ago,
Speaker 13: I would have said it was fifty fifty though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, they also have Jayden Bradley, who
Speaker 5: is doing the same process that Carter is going through
Speaker 5: right now in terms of going through the combine and
Speaker 5: seeing where he stacks up. You know, I've talked to
Speaker 5: a lot of fans of like, why are players doing
Speaker 5: this now? I mean, it makes all the sense in
Speaker 5: the world to go through this process, don't you think sobers.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, you know, Brian's got nothing to lose.
Speaker 13: I'm actually surprised that more guys aren't doing this, But
Speaker 13: I think that's the factor of this is a really
Speaker 13: weird year with this whole nil thing, and there is
Speaker 13: a lot more money being thrown around right now because
Speaker 13: everybody's rushing to get contract signed because of this house settlement.
Speaker 13: And when the house settlement comes down, one of the
Speaker 13: provisions is supposed to be that the nil portions of
Speaker 13: these deals that run through schools now are going to
Speaker 13: be audited and verified or whatever for market value. And
Speaker 13: nobody knows what market value really is. But you know,
Speaker 13: it's so I think everyone's just I think a lot
Speaker 13: of these players who might be testing it that are
Speaker 13: I think are just going ahead and signing deals that
Speaker 13: are so much money that they don't even want to
Speaker 13: bother testing it. So but that could be a one off.
Speaker 13: I don't know that's gonna keep being the case, but
Speaker 13: but certainly somebody like Bradley, Yeah, it makes sense to
Speaker 13: get feedback. He didn't get invited to the Combine or
Speaker 13: the G League elitue camp, and I'm sure he's getting
Speaker 13: invited for some team workouts and getting some good feedback.
Speaker 13: And you know, he did the same thing last year,
Speaker 13: and you know it may have may have helped him,
Speaker 13: you know in ways that we you know, it was
Speaker 13: hard to tell on the surface or whatever, but you know,
Speaker 13: just him knowing what he needs to do or whatever,
Speaker 13: and and so yeah, it's it's a valuable thing for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no question. How was you obviously get from Tom?
Speaker 3: How was he with with the news to you, with
Speaker 3: the news about both the two guys leaving, leaving and
Speaker 3: just testing.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he was pragmatic about it.
Speaker 13: Well, I mean yeah, I mean I didn't. I actually
Speaker 13: talked to him only once since the season was over,
Speaker 13: and I had approached him at a baseball game and
Speaker 13: he was doing a fan function and then he agreed
Speaker 13: to talk to me a few days later, and they
Speaker 13: at that point he said he was expecting those guys
Speaker 13: to leave, which of course they did, or it to
Speaker 13: test it, and yeah, he was, he was fine about it.
Speaker 13: I mean, you know how he is. He he he
Speaker 13: says this. I mean all coaches say that, but I
Speaker 13: think it's true with him. He supports them doing it.
Speaker 13: And and you know, I think he's willing to roll
Speaker 13: it away. You know, I'm sure deep down it's not
Speaker 13: great if he knows he's going to lose a town
Speaker 13: like Carter, Brian, I think he knows that Bradley's going
Speaker 13: to stay. I mean, I think it's ninety five percent
Speaker 13: sure that he'll be back. But but you know, but
Speaker 13: it's got to hurt for Brian. But I think you know,
Speaker 13: he's he's okay with that. He's got, you know, a
Speaker 13: pretty good team either way, and maybe he can find
Speaker 13: somebody who can fill in for him if he does
Speaker 13: go with those minutes. And and I kind of wrote
Speaker 13: up this the other day, but you know, he's he's
Speaker 13: been pretty adaptable. And last year he found uh, Anthony
Speaker 13: Delorso when Caleb Love was on the testing and that
Speaker 13: was kind of fortunate for him because del Orso actually
Speaker 13: told him he was willing to play off the bench
Speaker 13: if Love came back, turned out, left, came back, and
Speaker 13: he ended up starting anyway, you know, just because of
Speaker 13: the way things worked out ironically over Carter Bryant, you know.
Speaker 13: And but you know, and then a couple of years ago,
Speaker 13: there few years ago, when Dale and Terry left, he went.
Speaker 13: He they they that was a tough one and that
Speaker 13: went down to the wire. And but they have been
Speaker 13: talking behind the scenes with Courtney Raimi and his people,
Speaker 13: and then Ramie pulled out of the draft and and boom,
Speaker 13: they had a bunch of minutes. Terry went, and they
Speaker 13: had a bunch of minutes in the starting spot for him,
Speaker 13: and he took it. So you know, it worked out
Speaker 13: that way. So you know, I think I think that's
Speaker 13: that's I think that's part of Lloyd's thought, is that,
Speaker 13: you know, if he leaves, you know that we can
Speaker 13: do some other things. And and it's always good for
Speaker 13: a program to lose a guy as a lottery pick
Speaker 13: and then all the recruits, you know, your potential recruits
Speaker 13: in the next two or four years, they're watching TV
Speaker 13: on Draft night and seeing, oh, this guy's from Arizona
Speaker 13: is a lottery pick. That's that's great for Arizona's recruiting
Speaker 13: that happen, well.
Speaker 3: That's what keeps There was almost a out there, you know,
Speaker 3: the block a kind of the name and everyone thinking
Speaker 3: that they're blue blood and blah blah blah because they
Speaker 3: have this name in the NBA, and Loot started that.
Speaker 3: It's funny because back in the day, it was the
Speaker 3: question was whether to have a one and done at all?
Speaker 3: Would you rather have a one and done or not
Speaker 3: have a one and done and deal with what you're
Speaker 3: going to deal with with one and done? Kind of
Speaker 3: like the standy Johnson. Don't you miss the days of
Speaker 3: ndab mhm, none and done?
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, and boy, that's he was almost the
Speaker 13: case study of why they went to a one and
Speaker 13: done rule, because you know, some guys need at least
Speaker 13: a little bit of of you know, this time to
Speaker 13: you know, mature a little and get a little further along.
Speaker 13: And I know the NBA guys prefer that because they
Speaker 13: don't want to draft on pure potential like what they
Speaker 13: did with d and not knowing or you know, where
Speaker 13: he was gonna what he was going to turn into,
Speaker 13: and you know, at least this year you get one
Speaker 13: one year, you know, and I think that, you know,
Speaker 13: and Carter Bryant's been, you know, a really good example
Speaker 13: to that. He might have gotten picked even at a
Speaker 13: high school if there was such a thing last year,
Speaker 13: but it probably would have been a second round or
Speaker 13: somebody just took a flyer on him. Now he looks
Speaker 13: like a guy who again might be a lot of
Speaker 13: I think, even after one year of limited.
Speaker 2: Youth in Arizona. Right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you know you brought up recruiting in terms
Speaker 5: of helps you with recruiting when he had those types
Speaker 5: of players going back to Brandon Brandon Chappelle out of
Speaker 5: the state of Texas. How important was it for Tommy
Speaker 5: do you think to get somebody that has strong recruiting
Speaker 5: ties in Big twelve country as there was gonna continues
Speaker 5: to navigate through their new conference.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's a great question, Troy. I think it's I
Speaker 13: think it's really important. I think, you know, I was
Speaker 13: just talking to Jack Murphy, who you know, who was
Speaker 13: his boss basically at NAU about a decade ago for
Speaker 13: two years when Sheppell was a when he was a GA,
Speaker 13: and I think they would have hired him probably anyway,
Speaker 13: because apparently he was saying, you know, that him and
Speaker 13: law had really hit it off, and he you know,
Speaker 13: he had at some high level experience. He's been at
Speaker 13: unob he's been at Texas, but the fact that he's
Speaker 13: from he's actually a native of East Texas. Uh, you know,
Speaker 13: and coach played to Lamar coach at ut I mean
Speaker 13: all these you know, he's got all these ties and
Speaker 13: and that's yeah, that's a huge hole, especially being the
Speaker 13: Big Twelve from them. Now, that's a huge hole for them. Texas,
Speaker 13: they don't you know, they got you know, kJ Lewis
Speaker 13: was kind of to Texas but also at a tie
Speaker 13: in Tucson as well. That that's been a big hole
Speaker 13: for them. So you know, I think that's that's a
Speaker 13: big deal that they have a little in there and uh,
Speaker 13: you know kind of in traditional Big Twelve country.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it'll be uh, it'll be a nice audition. Obviously,
Speaker 3: the losing Robinson, a guy who's been out there for
Speaker 3: all the time, but maybe a little change will help, right.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think so. I mean, you know, Robinson I
Speaker 13: think was a good fit for what Tommy Waite needed
Speaker 13: at the time. He was the guy who's been around
Speaker 13: you know forever basically and he'd been to four final
Speaker 13: eight final fours or something like that with Roy Williams,
Speaker 13: and he'd been a head coach for seven years as
Speaker 13: well as that, and and so he had all his
Speaker 13: experience and I you know, and that was at the
Speaker 13: time when Tommy Lloyd was the first year head coach.
Speaker 13: And granted, Tommy Lloyd had worked with Mark Few for
Speaker 13: two decades and can dag In you know pretty much
Speaker 13: knew what he wanted to do, I'm sure, but but
Speaker 13: just having a guy like Steve Robinson on his staff,
Speaker 13: whereas all his other staffers mostly were younger than him
Speaker 13: and you know, less experience, just to have somebody he
Speaker 13: can bounce some off and say, hey, does this make
Speaker 13: sense or that or whatever. You know, I think there
Speaker 13: was a valuable thing for him. But you know, now
Speaker 13: they're four years in Robinson's on the layout, and you know,
Speaker 13: it makes sense now to pulling a guy younger in
Speaker 13: his career. And again it's Troy two has that, you know,
Speaker 13: some recruiting ties that could really help his team.
Speaker 5: Out, not only with the coaching stuff and everything going
Speaker 5: around Carter Bryant, but Tommy has been very busy the
Speaker 5: SAFT season and putting together Arizona's twenty twenty five twenty
Speaker 5: six non conference schedule, and you look at the names
Speaker 5: that Arizona's going to be facing, Florida, UCLA, Yukon, Auburn, Alabama.
Speaker 5: You know, just how is it for you in terms
Speaker 5: of getting to see those types of teams play and
Speaker 5: refreshing to see a big time Power five school not
Speaker 5: afraid to take those punches, not afraid to you know,
Speaker 5: go into those matchups.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I think that's also probably reflective of
Speaker 13: the fact that Lloyd's a little more experienced now, he's
Speaker 13: not you know, not you know, and he knows he
Speaker 13: has a pretty solid team with or without Bryant, And
Speaker 13: that's part of scheduling you want, ideally, you want to
Speaker 13: kind of tweak it to the level that your team's
Speaker 13: going to be at. And I think he knows he
Speaker 13: has another top fift team, maybe better team. So they've
Speaker 13: got these guys. And then another piece of it is, frankly,
Speaker 13: because they're not playing in one of those traditional mal
Speaker 13: Imitational Atlantis kind of multi team events, they're making their own. Basically,
Speaker 13: they're going to play a weaker one at home, and
Speaker 13: so they kind of need to deep out the non
Speaker 13: conference schedule with at least three or four high majors,
Speaker 13: and it looks like, you know, right now they're looking
Speaker 13: at what five or something, so you know, and yeah,
Speaker 13: that probably bodes well. And then and then the other
Speaker 13: factor is too, not only they're not playing in an
Speaker 13: MT really, they're also only playing eighteen Big twelve games,
Speaker 13: So those two things kind of tweak down the schedule,
Speaker 13: so they need to kind of make up for it
Speaker 13: a little bit. And again on the on the non
Speaker 13: conference side by playing some big time teams. And then
Speaker 13: I think these neutral games also help them in the
Speaker 13: NIL space, as they say, because they can make a
Speaker 13: bunch of satellite things around that and generate them in IL,
Speaker 13: which helps the program out as well. So you know,
Speaker 13: I think it's you know, and and at the same time,
Speaker 13: they also are going to play an extra game at McHale,
Speaker 13: so you could say that some of those neutral site
Speaker 13: games take away from season ticket holders here at McHale,
Speaker 13: but at least they're they're going to play nineteen times
Speaker 13: ex editions at home. It looks like I.
Speaker 3: Don't know why I thought this now, but obviously the
Speaker 3: area early had the Red Blue game and am sure
Speaker 3: they teased everyone with a blue Red Blue game in Phoenix,
Speaker 3: could they retease?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 13: And that didn't happen. Yeah, yeah, And then they said
Speaker 13: they were going to reschedule it for the next year.
Speaker 13: We'll see if it even happens. I mean, it wasn't selling. Well,
Speaker 13: I'm not sure, you know, And that's yeah, you know,
Speaker 13: you guys know it's there. There's there's definitely a core
Speaker 13: of you A fans and at Alms in Phoenix that's substantial,
Speaker 13: but there's it's a pro sports market. There's all kinds
Speaker 13: of things to do. How much did they really want
Speaker 13: to see an uh a scrimmage? A glorified scrimmage and
Speaker 13: in early October?
Speaker 2: Don't put us through to those, don't put us through
Speaker 2: two of those.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I you know, honestly, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 13: there was so much going on. It's you know, I
Speaker 13: was kind of relieved we didn't have to drive to
Speaker 13: Glendale and cover an eight o'clock scrimmage and drive home
Speaker 13: at two in the morning. And you know, we do
Speaker 13: that enough.
Speaker 2: As it is, right right, Okay, anything else, Bruce, that's it.
Speaker 13: No, I think it's I think it's I think, you know,
Speaker 13: knock on wood. I think it's kind of calming down
Speaker 13: for them. I don't know, you know, just a couple
Speaker 13: of pieces here and there. It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 13: how Caleb Love is gonna, you know, if he goes
Speaker 13: to that g D camp, if he plays well enough
Speaker 13: to go to the NBA Combine, because he's the guy,
Speaker 13: you know, he might get he might get picked. He
Speaker 13: can certainly command. I would think a two way contract
Speaker 13: and get a get a chance, you know, at the
Speaker 13: NBA in the next couple of seasons, and then uh,
Speaker 13: you know, we'll see with Brian. You know, he probably
Speaker 13: won't play in the combine, but it'll be interesting to
Speaker 13: see how he does it. Does he test, does he
Speaker 13: tests well?
Speaker 2: We know he's going to interview.
Speaker 13: Well, he's a you know, he's pretty polished, mature kid.
Speaker 13: You know, we'll see if he blows up on some
Speaker 13: of those testing and intangibles, which is exactly what happened
Speaker 13: to Dale and Terry fight years ago, you know, going
Speaker 13: into combine, you know, wasn't Terry was still kind of
Speaker 13: on the bubble, and then he goes to Chicago for
Speaker 13: the combine and they found out he has a seven
Speaker 13: to one wings fan, Oh we can jump this way?
Speaker 13: Or what's his time on the shuttle or I think
Speaker 13: he was doing great and all that stuff and he
Speaker 13: and the once I love with him and ended up
Speaker 13: being a what number eighteen pick I think it was.
Speaker 2: Has he played much.
Speaker 13: Though in and out of the rod, No, you know,
Speaker 13: but he they you know, he's he's still you know,
Speaker 13: he's still is still you know, interesting to see where
Speaker 13: he goes. But he's been up, you know, the bulls
Speaker 13: have had him up. He's been bouncing around back and forth.
Speaker 13: But he's still you know, he's still developing. He's still
Speaker 13: relatively young. So you know, I don't think it's I
Speaker 13: think it's still too early to judge.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the problem.
Speaker 3: I mean the draft on potential, right potential, and then
Speaker 3: guess what, the next guy the next year has a
Speaker 3: lot of potential, so it pushes out the old guy
Speaker 3: who's twenty one and he's got potential. How much potential
Speaker 3: do you need or do you have available to your roster?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I know, I know, I know. And at some point
Speaker 13: and you look for change and that may happen, maybe
Speaker 13: another organization. I don't know, but I don't know what
Speaker 13: his contract status is but that does happen, and but
Speaker 13: it's crazy, and you know how this is like, and
Speaker 13: then you talk about potential with Carter Bryant, that's that
Speaker 13: you know, if he goes to the NBA, he's not
Speaker 13: probably going to play a lot next.
Speaker 5: The year, but.
Speaker 13: He would be drafted based on what he could be.
Speaker 13: And it's interesting because he's nineteen years old. What if
Speaker 13: he came back to Arizona and Anthony Elea Dolorso starts
Speaker 13: over him again, or at least or maybe he start
Speaker 13: maybe you know, his stats only incrementally go up. THENNIS
Speaker 13: talk's going to go down because then he started, then
Speaker 13: he wouldn't be seen as having maybe that much upside
Speaker 13: at age twenty as he did does at nineteen. So
Speaker 13: it's you know, it's it's.
Speaker 2: A strange deal.
Speaker 13: So again, if he is, if he is a top
Speaker 13: ten tick, it's hard to see him stand at Arizona.
Speaker 3: Right of course, thank you, Bruce, take care?
Speaker 13: Yeah all right, yeah, thanks, you have a good one.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break, come back and finish out the show.

Speaker 3: get your quick kicker, whether just in case. And he's
Speaker 3: a good kid. We had him on the show a
Speaker 3: couple of weekers. I think, Yeah, he was a good kid,
Speaker 3: great interview.
Speaker 2: You know player, there's a reason why he drafted them. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think everybody thought they would maybe go through training
Speaker 5: camp and you know, just see how things were, But
Speaker 5: at this point, what do you have to lose. Maybe
Speaker 5: bring in a veteran kicker and now you don't have
Speaker 5: that issue on the squad anymore.
Speaker 3: Right, And he could kick off, he could kick field
Speaker 3: those long ones and do kickoffs and he kind of well,
Speaker 3: they called him the ultimate weapon that night. I mean
Speaker 3: it was Roger who was Gonzales. I think he yeah,
Speaker 3: talked about he had never been around a kid that
Speaker 3: with that leg. Should ask him that I should have
Speaker 3: asked him to kind of re say that.
Speaker 5: Well, and you know what, Arizona, they've had a history
Speaker 5: of having really good kickers in terms of Zendejas and
Speaker 5: McLaughlin back in the eighties and nineties, Nick Folk in
Speaker 5: the early two thousands.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: And he's still out there, and he's still out there,
Speaker 5: and you know what, Tyler Loop is as good as
Speaker 5: any of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And as the kid how you say his name, he's
Speaker 3: he still out there too, I think.
Speaker 2: He's I think he's with the UFL.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's been in the league for
Speaker 5: a little bit. Yeah, helped develop Tyler Loup, helped him
Speaker 5: with his long givers here even after when he left,
Speaker 5: he would spend the off season working out with Tyler Luke,
Speaker 5: so maybe a coaching career for him later on. But uh,
Speaker 5: Tyler lup I think when you look at Arizona kickers,
Speaker 5: he's definitely on that list of all time great kickers.
Speaker 3: So good for him. Good kid, just you know from
Speaker 3: our conversation, So good for him. It'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's possibly, Uh, well, three players from this NFL
Speaker 1: draft class from Arizona to possibly start.
Speaker 3: Well, you know how many times did we say that
Speaker 3: in the past. Not very many rate we're talking about
Speaker 3: talent coming through. But you might want to say why
Speaker 3: they decided to go this way because Tucker was in trouble.
Speaker 2: Massage parters blah blah blah. Deshaun Watson the type of deal?
Speaker 2: Watson asked, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's what the online says. This happened before Watson was relieved.
Speaker 5: And let's let's be honest, over the last like two years,
Speaker 5: he hasn't been the same guy he started the Miskicks
Speaker 5: and get older and it's like, well, you have off
Speaker 5: field issues, your leg isn't what it used to be. Thanks,
Speaker 5: have a nice life.
Speaker 2: Business? Yeah, yeah, well said did they talked? They said
Speaker 2: it would be a business decision.
Speaker 3: Or it is a business decision, and he only hit
Speaker 3: seventy three percent of his kicks and he was the
Speaker 3: stud though he was, you know.
Speaker 5: I mean he he probably will be an NFL Hall
Speaker 5: of Famer if the other stuff doesn't play a part
Speaker 5: in it. In terms of justice on field talent, he's
Speaker 5: one of the better kickers in NFL history.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe he has the longest field goal three
Speaker 2: sixty four I think sixty four against the lines or no.
Speaker 2: Sixty six. I think he's sixty six.
Speaker 5: I've seen it. It was just a couple of years ago, right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: hit the bottom bar and bounced in for the win.
Speaker 5: Right think it might have been Yeah, sixty six yards
Speaker 5: and that's in a dome stadium that that's not easy
Speaker 5: to do. Yeah, but no, good for Tyler Lupin. I
Speaker 5: think uh a lot of Raven fans will be watching
Speaker 5: him throughout training camp and in uh preseason games to
Speaker 5: see what they got because that's going to be a
Speaker 5: major factor for them as they navigate. They have a
Speaker 5: really good roster, but try to navigate the AFC.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you kind of mentioned it a little bit, but
Speaker 1: does he take that number nine?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Right, I was joking about it. No, that that's gonna.
Speaker 5: I don't know if they'll retire the number nine, But
Speaker 5: how about number one. It's a good kicking number. You
Speaker 5: al said the breaking new dimebacks. Oh yeah, I was
Speaker 5: joking about that. The new jersey's the City connect jerseys. Uh,
Speaker 5: they look good and go kind of throw back with
Speaker 5: the purple.
Speaker 1: They kind of remind me of the Valley jerseys for
Speaker 1: the Suns, kind of popping, kind of looks good. Maybe
Speaker 1: they'll play good, but you know, Steve doesn't believe in
Speaker 1: that look.
Speaker 3: Good, play good. There's been a lot of good uniforms
Speaker 3: out there. They don't play good. What's the point, you know?
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I have lost that argument to you.
Speaker 3: If you if you go to do your thesis, if
Speaker 3: you come back, go to school and you want thesis going, Oh,
Speaker 3: this team look good and you can do your thesis.
Speaker 2: On look good? Right, I might.
Speaker 3: I might just do that, yeah, and they'll say, you
Speaker 3: know what, you're right that in home court advantage.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, isn't there a Colin Calvery thing about? Uh,
Speaker 5: good looking quarterbacks are more successful quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 3: You're the Tom Brady this is the jiggins zawiest thing.
Speaker 3: I was just texting him. This is you know, gunner
Speaker 3: Gunner Cruise built like you know, Donna's quarterback, sixty six
Speaker 3: whatever it was. Couldn't throw any couldn't hit a ten
Speaker 3: yard target.
Speaker 2: What's the point? What's what's the point?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and then we get to fight put
Speaker 3: ten Noah, who's fantastic?
Speaker 5: It is all bunch of crap. Well you can look
Speaker 5: good and look the role again, Gunner Cruise is force.
Speaker 2: It is not a reason. This is not a movie.
Speaker 2: Once you get hit, things change than change way.
Speaker 3: We're not scripting a movie here with you know, mister whomever.
Speaker 5: We don't need sunshine from remember the Titans shine.
Speaker 2: It was a good play.
Speaker 3: Good shut up, hurry with that phrase that in momentum,
Speaker 3: there's no momentum.
Speaker 2: No, there's no such thing.
Speaker 3: No. In context, yes, but not in oh he's it's
Speaker 3: you had a good run. You're had a good run. Momentum, momentum.
Speaker 2: But beauty. Sleep is a thing. Steve needs it today.
Speaker 3: I need it, needs a long trip Vegas.
Speaker 2: So the war the Warriors, timber Wolf.
Speaker 3: The warst Yes, yes, I'm I'm I really don't know
Speaker 3: the series, but I'm taking the Warriors.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 3: Last yesterday I was gonna put some money down on
Speaker 3: the Warriors, and I said, God, I just don't know
Speaker 3: if they can pull it off. In Houston, they played fantastic,
Speaker 3: Buddy heel was fantastic.
Speaker 5: I mean, they would have had to have lost three
Speaker 5: straight games for them to choke that serious. And I
Speaker 5: just don't see them with with that leadership in the room,
Speaker 5: Steve Kerrz and Green, then Curry, you don't You're not
Speaker 5: gonna lose.
Speaker 3: Apparently they had a team meeting and that kind of
Speaker 3: set them back, you know, with Draymond and mister Philosopher.
Speaker 5: With with that being said, Timberwolves in six, Okay, you
Speaker 5: want to take twenty for me? Yeah, okay, I'll take that.
Speaker 5: I'll take that. I'll do that. I'll tak I need
Speaker 5: to pay you somehow. All you guys, one of these
Speaker 5: days will have a pizza party. We don't get raises.
Speaker 3: We had an office pizza party. Your calories will be raised,
Speaker 3: that's all. But no, Yeah, Anthony Edwards love this Minnesota team.
Speaker 3: Yeah No, they're good. They're good. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 3: I think I think the Warriors will pull it off
Speaker 3: and then who knows after this? You got to you
Speaker 3: gotta score on the Knicks game.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're in the second quarter now, seven twenty
Speaker 1: three left, forty to thirty eight.
Speaker 2: Celtics take the Celtics in this.
Speaker 5: Well, I do you think the Knicks are going to
Speaker 5: win this series? But it's pretty close. You want to
Speaker 5: do another twenty no, no one, twenty at a time,
Speaker 5: No one at a time. It's just another time. Maybe
Speaker 5: you'll get some momentum. I tried, and I try. No,
Speaker 5: I just like the next depth. I don't think they
Speaker 5: have the superstar talent of the Celtics out, but I
Speaker 5: think they're deeper one through one through nine. They have
Speaker 5: a deeper bench. You have tougher dudes like mckel bridges,
Speaker 5: you have og An andob you have guys that can
Speaker 5: defend multiple positions.
Speaker 3: What do you make of the Belichick off the field stuff.
Speaker 5: That I think there's a lot of things you can
Speaker 5: go in there, and I'm not going to get into
Speaker 5: all of those. But we know who rules the rest
Speaker 5: in the Belichick house right now, and it's not Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: It's not I think it's a bunch of boloney which
Speaker 1: part the off the field stuff and with it. I
Speaker 1: think it's just headlines to create the create attention, maybe
Speaker 1: for the program, maybe further outlets. I'm not sure. I
Speaker 1: just I don't. I'm not really into whatever. We know
Speaker 1: who's ruaring de pends on that baby.
Speaker 2: But I'll say this, none of it matters.
Speaker 5: Once the season rolls around, sure, and and North Carolina
Speaker 5: is four and eight, five and seven, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: And then he darts to the NFL. You're left with
Speaker 5: Steve Belichick as your head coach? What are you going
Speaker 5: to be doing that?
Speaker 3: I think I think if he fails all, he won't
Speaker 3: be coaching at all anymore. He's seventy seventy three, seventy four, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think this will be his last.
Speaker 5: I think he's trying to make this a one and
Speaker 5: done year though, possibly try to get to that nine win.
Speaker 5: Mark go to the NFL and say.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, Steve, yeah, and my son, yeah, you know
Speaker 3: that's possible too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But I just think it's crazy that you're like, yeah, yeah, well,
Speaker 5: we'll make your son the next head coach. Just come
Speaker 5: on over, yeah, just so we want you to be here.
Speaker 5: We got we got said about forty five seconds. Okay,
Speaker 5: clicks Nuggets and thunder Nuggets and Thunder Thunder Thunder under
Speaker 5: under sweet six six.
Speaker 2: And five ish.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll say this, Mike Malone was still the head
Speaker 5: coach of the night.
Speaker 2: I would take the Nuggets and seven, Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2: I would too. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'd take them to seven, but I think they'd have
Speaker 3: a better shot at it. But hey, what it is,
Speaker 3: what it is. Thanks guys, thanks for coming in today.
Speaker 3: Everybody speech to appreciate you, guys. I'll see you guys
Speaker 3: too tomorrow.
