Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back to the ball hero Fox Sports fourteen
Speaker 1: fifty I'm Steve Rivera. He's Jay Gonzalez, and we might
Speaker 1: be two minutes ahead of schedule. I think you know
Speaker 1: why we did. We probably should have stayed on two
Speaker 1: minutes later.
Speaker 2: I yes, I mean we were told to get off
Speaker 2: the fifty four. Yeah, all right, well we'll figure that out.
Speaker 2: Uh okay next time. Well up, yeah, you got it
Speaker 2: the breaking you're up on Fox Sports barely?
Speaker 3: Did you maybe have the volume up high enough down there?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Anyway, let's start with some news about Cam Rising injury update.
Speaker 1: See doesn't like it look like he'll play this weekend
Speaker 1: for sure. No, I thought he might be out a
Speaker 1: few more weeks. So just not reading the article, so
Speaker 1: I'm really not sure.
Speaker 5: What.
Speaker 4: Didn't he have surgery? No? No, is that something else? Yeah?
Speaker 4: That's fine.
Speaker 1: So he's he's he he won't play this weekend. I
Speaker 1: don't think I thought he might be out more weeks.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play against Arizona in two weeks, who knows,
Speaker 1: we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean I feel bad for
Speaker 2: the guy, but he's he's injury prone, right, whatever, whatever
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's the.
Speaker 2: Old bones or whatever because he's well like thirty five
Speaker 2: years old.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. You know, the guy hasn't been
Speaker 3: able to stay.
Speaker 2: The guy has not been able to stay uh health,
Speaker 2: he hasn't been able to stay on the field. I
Speaker 2: don't know what what the situation is the story.
Speaker 1: No, but apparently Brett McMurphy, who's pretty good at what
Speaker 1: he does. Uh, he likely may not play this weekend,
Speaker 1: but he could be back for Oklahoma State next weekend.
Speaker 2: Okay, and that's a huge game for them. Yeah, on
Speaker 2: the top two teams, right, those are the top two teams.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got to be back for that game.
Speaker 2: But if he's. If he's not, then who knows when
Speaker 2: you know when they're going to see him. But that's
Speaker 2: a that's a huge game for Utah as well. You know,
Speaker 2: for Oklahoma State to say where that game.
Speaker 1: Is, yeah, probably at home, doesn't say versus.
Speaker 2: But you know, you you gotta I don't know, you
Speaker 2: they got to get him back because we saw last
Speaker 2: year you don't have him, that's what you got.
Speaker 3: So all right.
Speaker 4: I meant to bring this up on Tuesday, but the
Speaker 4: road Runners announce their preseason schedule and tickets are available now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had them on yesterday, so we went through that,
Speaker 2: and yeah, tickets are available on their website or you
Speaker 2: can go to their website, you know, to the TCC
Speaker 2: and get those.
Speaker 4: College football tonight got Arizona State, Texas State, Texas State
Speaker 4: two point five on the spread.
Speaker 2: Two and a half, now two and a half, and
Speaker 2: then oh man, it's three on DraftKings, it's three, and
Speaker 2: everybody's taking Texas State.
Speaker 3: Look.
Speaker 2: I think this is the first time that Texas State
Speaker 2: has had a Power five or Power four slash five
Speaker 2: school at their place. I don't know what the agreement
Speaker 2: was at ACU agreed to go play over there, because
Speaker 2: normally Texas State gets a by game, you know, and
Speaker 2: they just go play the one game.
Speaker 3: We paid a bunch of money whatever. You know.
Speaker 2: This is obviously some sort of a home and home arrangement,
Speaker 2: but there there's apparently some excitement about this game and
Speaker 2: that it's a big deal and there's a belief that
Speaker 2: Texas State can and should win this game. I guess
Speaker 2: I would be unhappy if I'm Arizona and we're going
Speaker 2: to Texas State and they're and they're an underdog, So
Speaker 2: I don't know, all right, that game is at four
Speaker 2: thirty our time USPN.
Speaker 4: And then the other game is Northwestern State in South Alabama.
Speaker 2: Thirty six and a half South Alabama bay thirty six
Speaker 2: and a half. Would you would you give South of
Speaker 2: thirty six and a half and take South Alabama against
Speaker 2: Northwestern State Northwestern?
Speaker 4: That's what I call long money.
Speaker 1: But Steve have a gambling problem. I lost a table
Speaker 1: tennis and then now I'm chasing it with Grammling's Taylor
Speaker 1: who was South Alabama the same thing.
Speaker 4: Yes, you need therapy.
Speaker 2: You need therapy, you need a consert, and you need
Speaker 2: to go to a facility.
Speaker 1: And just what Jay cannot be your your what are
Speaker 1: your host?
Speaker 4: Or what do you call that guy?
Speaker 3: Your spier?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Exactly, Yeah, that South Alabama.
Speaker 4: He has his own sponsor. We have a phone number
Speaker 4: for you. Alright, Okay, all right, I mean humor. I'm
Speaker 4: mean humor JA on this one. So Stani is getting
Speaker 4: closer to that mark. He hit his forty seventh homer
Speaker 4: last night. He also stole his forty eighth base. I
Speaker 4: think saw the whole thing.
Speaker 1: So so I was I was with a bunch of
Speaker 1: dudes like your group that you get up with Wednesday,
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes, and they're baseball fans, you know, the
Speaker 1: Yankees and Cardinals and blah blah blah, and they were
Speaker 1: talking about show hey and this says, well, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be the m v P. And then I brought your
Speaker 1: thing up that should he even though he doesn't have
Speaker 1: a possis they were mixed.
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing to me.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm kind of thinking if he gets to fifty
Speaker 2: to fifty, which it looks like he's going to, and
Speaker 2: he's the first person ever to do that, and it
Speaker 2: may never get done again unless he does it again,
Speaker 2: I think you do give it to him. I really do.
Speaker 2: And I know he's only playing. You know, he's not
Speaker 2: playing in the field, he's not pitching. You know, he's
Speaker 2: only hitting, But he's doing so many things hitting wise.
Speaker 2: He's leading off Steve, he's a leadoff hitter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that doesn't give you a chance to do
Speaker 1: a lot more damage, right.
Speaker 2: But he's a leadoff hitter, so you know, he sets
Speaker 2: the stage. So there's yes, he's a DH, but in
Speaker 2: his DH role, there's a lot of things he's doing
Speaker 2: that I'm kind of turning my opinion on that and
Speaker 2: feel like maybe he should be in strong consideration for
Speaker 2: the MVP again, assuming the fifty to fifty deal happens,
Speaker 2: because that's crazy. Fifty stolen bases and fifty homers. Fifty
Speaker 2: homers is crazy by itself, and then you're stealing bases too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's Steve, He's he's a big dude.
Speaker 3: He's a big dude.
Speaker 2: But he's fast, he's got long strides and he gets
Speaker 2: there in her He tagged up. He tagged up and
Speaker 2: went from second to third on a flyout to left
Speaker 2: field last night.
Speaker 4: Really did he get there?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was sitting by a lot, you know.
Speaker 2: So they don't make him like they don't make him
Speaker 2: like that. Man, he's to be from Texas. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's from Texas. Paris, Texas, from Apple in Texas.
Speaker 2: He's not from Texas.
Speaker 4: Here's another note about this, but a tiny He has
Speaker 4: twelve games this season with the home run and they
Speaker 4: stolen base. The only player to do that more than
Speaker 4: him is Ricky Henderson back in eighty six with thirteen,
Speaker 4: and then he's tied with Lacuna Junior with twelve last
Speaker 4: year and then Bobby Bonds twelve and seventy three. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he'll do it this weekend against the Braves.
Speaker 2: Yeah he will, he will your bridge, right, your bridge,
Speaker 2: that's right, you're braves.
Speaker 1: Yeah you said that was roll in your eyes?
Speaker 3: Okay? How ready for the season? Are they not gonna
Speaker 3: make the playoffs? They don't have the offense?
Speaker 7: But where are they standing right now? They're one game
Speaker 7: back of the Mets for a wild card or the
Speaker 7: last card. Oh okay, we're like nine games back of
Speaker 7: the Phillies. Oh all right, that's right, those Phillies.
Speaker 4: Once we went out and they lose out, then we.
Speaker 3: Can hate the Phillies.
Speaker 1: So what do you well, we don't get to because
Speaker 1: we don't have enough time.
Speaker 4: So what do you like? We'll go there.
Speaker 3: Still, there's some things. There's a few things.
Speaker 2: I like that the Dodgers broke and coming to the
Speaker 2: over in three innings last night. Besides that, Okay, hey
Speaker 2: you what you went to bet for me? I love
Speaker 2: you for a really long time until you don't until.
Speaker 3: You lose one.
Speaker 4: That's right, all right? NFL, we got Bills and Dolphins tonight.
Speaker 4: We two is kicking off. Yeah, that's a tough game.
Speaker 3: That's a good game. I like.
Speaker 2: I like that game. It's a it's a Dolphins by
Speaker 2: two and a half. They are at home over under
Speaker 2: forty eight and a half. The Dolphins are minus one
Speaker 2: thirty five on the money line. Again, if I was
Speaker 2: if I was gonna sit down and watch this game,
Speaker 2: I'd bet it. But I don't think I'm going to.
Speaker 2: I think I'm go'n be flipping channels tonight and no
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. Okay, but that's a good game.
Speaker 2: Josh Allen was your boy a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: What do you think, Well, I think he's better than Murray.
Speaker 2: Last week, Ryan is better than Murray, was taller than
Speaker 2: Murray for sure.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I still think he is the Buffalo team because they
Speaker 1: have very little.
Speaker 3: Stuff last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't he's the runner, he's the guy. He's
Speaker 1: but he's not enough for them to get to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I mean, he's just not enough. They don't
Speaker 1: have enough. They don't just don't have enough.
Speaker 3: Okay, on the flip side too, I mean, what do
Speaker 3: you think.
Speaker 2: Is he is he the guy he has I don't know.
Speaker 1: No, he's too inconsistent and they have a couple of
Speaker 1: players that can get him offensively scoring, but not enough.
Speaker 1: You need you need, sorry to say, well, you need
Speaker 1: a guy who just plays perty and then he has
Speaker 1: some great compliment people around him, kind of like last
Speaker 1: year when when Noah had dudes. Yeah, he had a Coleman,
Speaker 1: he had Papita, he had the kids coling. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: had people and wait, we'll see how we'll see how
Speaker 1: the others have to step up. We don't know about
Speaker 1: that too, right, how the running backs is going to
Speaker 1: step up? How the second or third third people options?
Speaker 1: Last year they had options offensively. So so you think
Speaker 1: Tyry Kill takes an uber to the game? Tonight is
Speaker 1: in Miami, right it is? It's in Miami. No, if
Speaker 1: I'm here going to New that'd be funny though, that'd
Speaker 1: be taken. That'd be funny. Yeah, I would, that'd be funny.
Speaker 1: I would or go a different way, yeah, different way
Speaker 1: to take a different way. Or get a driver, yeah,
Speaker 1: just get a driver, smart different car. Right, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: all right. Jagguars are rebringing their stadium for the home opener.
Speaker 1: It's ever Bank, that's the current stadium, but they're rebranding.
Speaker 1: Were you bringing it?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: Trevor Bank.
Speaker 5: I got it.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence making a ton of bank.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, he makes enough money, will be his own bank,
Speaker 2: that's for sure. But so I mean literally the callent
Speaker 2: that what it says, Trevor Bank.
Speaker 4: Trevor Bank, just putting the tr in front of the.
Speaker 1: No, let's see if it pays dividends.
Speaker 3: But he lost last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're not any good here. They lost too.
Speaker 1: I think that was the obvious loss too. I can't
Speaker 1: remember who they played.
Speaker 4: I remember they lost to nobody because it won't load. Okay,
Speaker 4: just keep going. Here's another story about de Shaun Watson.
Speaker 4: The woman is to meet with the NFL to discuss
Speaker 4: the allegations.
Speaker 3: We do the article here.
Speaker 1: If we're going back to the meet too stuff, I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, if he gets suspended though, it's
Speaker 2: they'll get.
Speaker 3: Rid of they'll have they have to.
Speaker 4: You have to.
Speaker 3: You have to be fired for that sure.
Speaker 1: And he made that come back because would you want
Speaker 1: you don't want to.
Speaker 2: I didn't want him to begin with that because good,
Speaker 2: But secondly, I'm just not going to have that guy.
Speaker 3: There's there's enough.
Speaker 2: Guys out there that you don't need the guy who's
Speaker 2: got that back somebody?
Speaker 4: Somebody?
Speaker 1: Uh did you see that the Dunes? Who's the guy
Speaker 1: from Washington? He got hurt last week? Right, I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's out or not, but for the Bears, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I read this because the am I m
Speaker 1: cl I think m CLU. So they brought in a
Speaker 1: backup for Williams already, Uh, just because they wanted to.
Speaker 1: And I didn't know any of these guys that they're
Speaker 1: bringing in to be a backup for for Williams. And
Speaker 1: they mentioned that he had gotten hurt, the Washington kid.
Speaker 1: So wow, it can't be fun you have anything. Also,
Speaker 1: you're waiting for something. I was actually looking at the
Speaker 1: doomsday Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that quick.
Speaker 1: So I'm watching on ESPN right now and Wilbond there's
Speaker 1: a little headlin short little clip. I didn't go through
Speaker 1: the clip, but the headline I love it. Willb Wilbon
Speaker 1: is a huge fan of the Pac twelve resurrection, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, is it really a resurrection exact? It's a redo.
Speaker 3: It's a redo. Yeah, that's a good that's a good
Speaker 3: way to put.
Speaker 1: It, because it's not the it's not going to be
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 3: Here here's what happens, Steve.
Speaker 2: A tornado came and blew your roof off right right,
Speaker 2: and so you're just putting the roof back on right right,
Speaker 2: and and and it tore up your shed, and it
Speaker 2: tore up one of your bedrooms and you can't rebuild that.
Speaker 2: But you're putting the roof back on to just kind
Speaker 2: of live your life. And that's that's really what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Right, It's not it's not a resurrection.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 2: It a resurrection would imply that it's going to be
Speaker 2: what it was, and enough teams left to pick from
Speaker 2: for it to become what it was.
Speaker 4: It's surely not going to be the same quality.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean it's going to be a glorified
Speaker 2: Mountain West Conference. It's gonna be a Mountain West Conference
Speaker 2: with Washington State and Oregon State added. And at the
Speaker 2: time going into that, they were too again, two programs
Speaker 2: who weren't well thought of enough to be able to
Speaker 2: be taken.
Speaker 3: Into one of those leaders.
Speaker 2: You stay here, you stay here, we'll come and get
Speaker 2: you later.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's like to do the home alone. You know,
Speaker 1: they left the kid and ah, we forgot leaving there.
Speaker 4: So he didn't him. Him and Keenan Allen are both
Speaker 4: still out. They didn't practice today, so they won't be
Speaker 4: playing Sunday. Yeah, I was a sprained MCL sprained. Okay, ye,
Speaker 4: all right, it's all I have.
Speaker 3: That's all you had.
Speaker 1: Okay, what time is it? We've got a few minutes,
Speaker 1: Jake is are you asking who? In the call? He'll
Speaker 1: be hearing about five six minutes? All right, okay, you
Speaker 1: want to just go, Let's give a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's only twelve after the hour.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Getting back to all that though, Steve, as you said earlier,
Speaker 2: this is all going to settle differently.
Speaker 3: The PAC twelve everything just down the road.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you bentually just down the road in our lifetime.
Speaker 2: You know what. What you know, what the PAC twelve
Speaker 2: wants to do is to continue to be relevant in
Speaker 2: some form. Right, It's not gonna be relevant if it
Speaker 2: stays with these two teams. So they're trying to be
Speaker 2: relevant so that whenever the next reset comes they can
Speaker 2: somehow possibly be a part of it. Now, that's going
Speaker 2: to be hard, because I feel like it's going to
Speaker 2: be more of a situation where some of the teams
Speaker 2: that in the power that are in the power for now,
Speaker 2: they're they're going to get clipped off at the bottom
Speaker 2: of at the bottom of the list. That's why it's
Speaker 2: so important for a program like Arizona to be good
Speaker 2: for the next few years.
Speaker 1: Right, So you said, uh, Texas San Antonio, right, Memphis,
Speaker 1: the other school.
Speaker 3: Texas Anti maybe Memphis.
Speaker 2: I said to Tulane, they shouldn't even call it the
Speaker 2: Back twelve.
Speaker 1: It's not the Back twelve.
Speaker 3: It's well, it's not the ACC anymore. It's not the
Speaker 3: Big ten anymore. It's not Big twelve anymore.
Speaker 1: I want to call you, I'll call you Fred, and
Speaker 1: that's just not call you later.
Speaker 3: That's a.
Speaker 2: Branding expert or marketing expert will tell them keep the
Speaker 2: PAC twelve name.
Speaker 3: Don't do that all over again.
Speaker 2: You've got a logo that everybody knows on site. You've
Speaker 2: got to you can continue to claim the history of
Speaker 2: the PAC twelve, the records, all those things, because see
Speaker 2: that's one things that if the PAC twelve dissolved and
Speaker 2: now those two teams go into another league, everything ends.
Speaker 3: No more records, no more.
Speaker 2: Now PAC twelve can say, yeah, you know, they just
Speaker 2: broke Bill Walton's record, you know for xxxx.
Speaker 3: So that's a part of it.
Speaker 2: That's you know, with my vast public relations experience, that's
Speaker 2: what I would be advising them to do, is yeah.
Speaker 1: No, and that's what they're going to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, okay, okay, let's go and take
Speaker 2: our break.

Speaker 5: Like they said they were going to. They're not going to.
Speaker 6: Their tight ends as much. You know, they're basically just
Speaker 6: keeping everything pretty basic. And you know what, sometimes that
Speaker 6: works in your favor.
Speaker 18: Sometimes it's kind of.
Speaker 6: A detrimency because do you want to put as much
Speaker 6: on films so that they have to actually, you know,
Speaker 6: prepare for it. Now everyone wants to be a big
Speaker 6: team like them and just you know, basically run down
Speaker 6: your throat. But you know, I'm not entirely sure if
Speaker 6: our offensive line is going to be one hundred percent healthy.
Speaker 18: So you know who knows. I only know is if
Speaker 18: we don't show up, we're going.
Speaker 5: To lose by a couple of touchdowns.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, and the thing, you know, you're sitting here when
Speaker 2: you you know, when you say that, I sit here
Speaker 2: and think, okay, So if they didn't show stuff, they
Speaker 2: cut it a little close last week, then you know right,
Speaker 2: I mean it was dicey. I mean there are two
Speaker 2: times that NAU had the ball with the chance to
Speaker 2: take the lead. Now, the defense played really well, you know,
Speaker 2: really through the whole game. You know, they gave up
Speaker 2: that one touchdown, but the defense they played pretty well
Speaker 2: and they didn't let it happen. But I got a
Speaker 2: little nervous when it was thirteen to ten. The two
Speaker 2: times any of you got the ball where you thought,
Speaker 2: if they put a long drive here together, this could
Speaker 2: get dicey.
Speaker 18: Well, the way I see it, we haven't.
Speaker 6: Put one whole game, you know, worth of football together,
Speaker 6: at least good ball. You know, the first game, offense
Speaker 6: showed out, we did well. Last game, our defense stepped up.
Speaker 6: But what you got to remember is the brand new
Speaker 6: coaching staff and you know it's a just a brand
Speaker 6: new scheme. I mean, this is why a lot of
Speaker 6: the big programs they try not to have a big
Speaker 6: game in the beginning of the year because you know,
Speaker 6: you just don't know what you got on the field
Speaker 6: to work with. So we have the players. If we
Speaker 6: can just put you know, a full game together and
Speaker 6: not play good on one side of the ball and
Speaker 6: crappy on the other, I think we'll be fine moving forward.
Speaker 1: Since talking to you for the last few years, now,
Speaker 1: have you been because you're an excitable guy? Right, you
Speaker 1: can't watch the games with other people because you freak
Speaker 1: them out. Did you freak out all over the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: Well, I got pissed off the first game and then
Speaker 6: this last game because you know, I started to feel
Speaker 6: like crud. I actually tried to get to sleep a
Speaker 6: little earlier and I didn't make it down there. So
Speaker 6: watching the highlights all that other stuff, obviously you get annoyed,
Speaker 6: but at the end of the day, if you know
Speaker 6: that you want you go back and watch it on YouTube,
Speaker 6: you don't get too upset. But I mean I had
Speaker 6: to hold it together in person a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 6: That defense, you know, just bad angles all around and
Speaker 6: you don't get to do much tackling to try to
Speaker 6: save your guys during camp. So now we got a
Speaker 6: couple of games under our belt, I feel a lot
Speaker 6: better about it.
Speaker 3: Well, and that's what I said at the end.
Speaker 2: You know, you know, we're Arizona's two and oh and
Speaker 2: they whether you like it or not, or whether you
Speaker 2: like what it looked like the cosmetics of it, they're
Speaker 2: two and oh. And so here we go. Let's play
Speaker 2: this Kansas State game and see what happens. I mean,
Speaker 2: what are you most interested to see in a game
Speaker 2: against a team like Kansas State? What do you want
Speaker 2: to see from Arizona in this game?
Speaker 6: Well, I want to make sure we stop the run.
Speaker 6: If we sell it on the run and we make
Speaker 6: that kid throw the ball and prove himself as an
Speaker 6: actual quarterback and not a big athlete that plays quarterback,
Speaker 6: then I think.
Speaker 4: We'll be fine.
Speaker 18: If we force them to throw the ball.
Speaker 6: We got so many upper classmen back during that secondary,
Speaker 6: somebody's bound to make a play. So I'm just hoping
Speaker 6: that they don't allow these guys to rack up the
Speaker 6: yards on the ground, control the clock. Hope we get
Speaker 6: a few three and outs and give our offense some
Speaker 6: good starting field position, make a couple of plays on
Speaker 6: the ball. But harder said than done. They got to
Speaker 6: help a program, they got great coach, and so we'll see.
Speaker 1: So what do you make of the t back situation,
Speaker 1: the tailback situation, no situation.
Speaker 3: Why he didn't get the ball last week?
Speaker 18: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 6: You know what again, Mike, just want to, you know,
Speaker 6: get the other guys involved, because you know, in a
Speaker 6: big game, you could just throw it up to Team Mac.
Speaker 6: He'll come down more than half the balls. Maybe just
Speaker 6: try to get some of the younger guys a little
Speaker 6: bit more experience before they go, you know and play
Speaker 6: a big game against the you know, a conference of
Speaker 6: own it. So, I don't know what it was about that.
Speaker 6: It just looked like they were trying to get a
Speaker 6: few more people involved. But yeah, moving forward, I don't
Speaker 6: care who the hell you play. You got to get
Speaker 6: that man seven or eight at least targets the game.
Speaker 3: Oh maybe even more than that is What have you
Speaker 3: liked about what you've seen?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: I know we keep talking about what we did like.
Speaker 2: We didn't like the defense in the first game, we
Speaker 2: didn't like the offense in the second game.
Speaker 3: What have you liked about this team so far?
Speaker 6: I haven't really seen any panic on the sideline. I
Speaker 6: like that a lot. You know, they're working through it,
Speaker 6: they got a plan, and uh, you know us watching
Speaker 6: it on television or when we're seeing it happening live.
Speaker 6: You got to remember these boys on the other you
Speaker 6: know teams, they got scholarships too, so they're gonna be good.
Speaker 6: They're gonna make some plays.
Speaker 18: But I haven't seen any panic.
Speaker 6: I think that's what we showed the second half defensively
Speaker 6: against the Mexico and what we showed against any of
Speaker 6: you this past weekend.
Speaker 18: You know, the defense.
Speaker 6: You know you're gonna be playing against better, better competition.
Speaker 5: But I think they.
Speaker 6: Looked pretty stout and just hoping that we can get
Speaker 6: a few more stacks, get a couple more turnovers to
Speaker 6: help us, because you know, Kansas State, it's a level
Speaker 6: up in competition, and we're not going to be able
Speaker 6: to do what we did against New Mexico against them,
Speaker 6: So you.
Speaker 18: Know, we'll see. But I really just want to make
Speaker 18: sure we get certain.
Speaker 5: Guys the ball a little bit more, and.
Speaker 18: I want to make sure our defense continues to improve.
Speaker 2: Jake, you played for two very hands on, even animated coaches,
Speaker 2: Mike Stoops, Rich Rod who they were, you know, into
Speaker 2: the headset, they were talking, they were in the middle
Speaker 2: of all the stuff. Brent Brannan doesn't look like he's
Speaker 2: and not even just the excitable part, just the participation part.
Speaker 2: Brent Brandon looks like he's just I mean, he looks
Speaker 2: like more like Dick Tomy in that regard. He's spectating,
Speaker 2: he's letting his coaches coach and things like that.
Speaker 3: Any thoughts to see, well, he's.
Speaker 5: Playing more of the CEO type role.
Speaker 6: You know, rich Rod was right there during the offense
Speaker 6: and Deukes was right there with the defense. You know,
Speaker 6: those two obviously a little bit more animated. And you know,
Speaker 6: it just depends on the type of player. The type
Speaker 6: of player knows that you know, you'll get on him
Speaker 6: if he doesn't play, you know, up to his standards.
Speaker 6: But you're the first person to come over congratulate him.
Speaker 5: You know, it goes a long way.
Speaker 6: So you know, we'll see different kids, you know, react
Speaker 6: to different types of coaching. So I don't think we've
Speaker 6: seen enough yet. But you know, I kind of like
Speaker 6: him being more in the CEO role because obviously he
Speaker 6: trusts the guys on offense and defense to you know,
Speaker 6: make play calls and get their guys in the right position.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to that question too, because either
Speaker 1: the coaches rub off on you. I think they do, right,
Speaker 1: don't don't you think?
Speaker 3: I think? I don't know what you think, Jake.
Speaker 18: It's like I said, it depends.
Speaker 6: I mean there were days where we're getting in shouting
Speaker 6: matches with each other, but then there are days where
Speaker 6: you just take the coaching, you know that you screwed
Speaker 6: up and you go and you know, you go and perform.
Speaker 18: So it's different for me.
Speaker 6: I've always said coaches that, you know, going back to
Speaker 6: win my dad was our coach, or going back to
Speaker 6: you know, coach Gary Minor at Ironwood. You know, these
Speaker 6: guys and the last two coaches that I had during college,
Speaker 6: they're not afraid to get in their grill if you're
Speaker 6: not performing well, but then they're the first people to
Speaker 6: come and give you a paddle on the back say
Speaker 6: good job, and you always want to play.
Speaker 5: For a coach like that.
Speaker 1: How big of a game is this? Uh uh part?
Speaker 1: We talked about this with the with the case case
Speaker 1: State beat guy. Uh. We put with Jay and I
Speaker 1: two about maybe this being the one or two best
Speaker 1: games and competitive games of the season that said, do
Speaker 1: they have to win or do they just have to
Speaker 1: kind of show up and play tough.
Speaker 6: Well, obviously, as a fan and a former player, I'm
Speaker 6: always gonna say you want to win, but uh, you know,
Speaker 6: to be honest, this is not going to count as
Speaker 6: a conference game.
Speaker 5: So it's not going to be the end of the world.
Speaker 6: We don't know what Cam looks like going in the
Speaker 6: next week or the next game, so I think we
Speaker 6: need to at least get one of these two.
Speaker 5: Obviously both on the road.
Speaker 18: So it's gonna be tough, but it's just a measuring
Speaker 18: stick of where we're going.
Speaker 5: To be at. You know.
Speaker 6: It could be that thing that really makes us go
Speaker 6: back to the drawing board and fix stuff. But also
Speaker 6: it can get us on a role like we got
Speaker 6: last year when we you know, when we beat Oregon
Speaker 6: State and UCLA, so it could set us up with
Speaker 6: a long haul we'll see. I just really want them
Speaker 6: to be competitive games, and.
Speaker 2: That's sort of a minimum, right to you know. I mean,
Speaker 2: and I hate to look at it this way, but
Speaker 2: this is the way I lead. If you beat the
Speaker 2: point spread, then you did better than what you were
Speaker 2: expected to do. That's how I see. And it's a
Speaker 2: seven point line. They even if they lose this game,
Speaker 2: but there was then a touchdown, well then that's what
Speaker 2: was supposed to happen, is the way I see it.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, but again, you want to at least get
Speaker 6: one of these two. Sure, you're going to prepare for
Speaker 6: every game individually wanting to go in and get a W.
Speaker 5: You're going to offense a game plan to get a W.
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, these are two
Speaker 6: top twenty teams. They both have really good offenses. They
Speaker 6: both are very very well coached, and it's a measuring stick.
Speaker 6: We're going to see how you know, coach Akina and
Speaker 6: all these other guys, you know, because these two are
Speaker 6: very similar. They can run down your throat. But they
Speaker 6: got a quarterback that can beat you with his feet
Speaker 6: a little bit, and a guy that can make some plays.
Speaker 6: I'm just hoping that we have enough guys on our
Speaker 6: side of the ball to make plays back right.
Speaker 2: You know, somebody made the comment the other day, but
Speaker 2: you know why doesn't know if a feea run more?
Speaker 2: And I said, I don't think they want him to
Speaker 2: run more. He played for a couple Matt Scott was
Speaker 2: a runner, right, you put you played on that team
Speaker 2: with Matt Scott. But I know that as a fan.
Speaker 2: When I saw Matt Scott take off running, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't want him out there running, even though I
Speaker 2: know he can as a as a as a player.
Speaker 2: Are you protective of your quarterback in that regard? Would
Speaker 2: you rather see them not have to do that?
Speaker 14: Well?
Speaker 18: I think these guys you know that.
Speaker 6: Are trained well and uh you know they're they're coach well.
Speaker 6: Obviously they always keep their eyes downfield. So if there's
Speaker 6: you know, a five or six yard game you need
Speaker 6: to get, you know, obviously, go and get what you do,
Speaker 6: get the first down, move the sticks, but don't try
Speaker 6: to make any stick the plays. You know, you don't
Speaker 6: have to be Michael Vick to be a good quarterback,
Speaker 6: so you know, and he's got a great arm. Matt
Speaker 6: Scott is developing his development throwing the ball. His last
Speaker 6: couple of years they were phenomenal, so he didn't have
Speaker 6: to technically do it. Sometimes Matt Scott would try to
Speaker 6: run over you.
Speaker 18: Yes, and you try to run over someone bigger than him.
Speaker 6: That made you help your rest a little bit. But
Speaker 6: other than that, just get the yards that you need
Speaker 6: to get and then come back the next play ice
Speaker 6: downfield see if he can capitalize.
Speaker 1: Do you think we just got a couple of minutes, Jake, So,
Speaker 1: being Jake the optimist, are you going to pick a win?
Speaker 6: You know, I'm always gonna pick a win here. It's
Speaker 6: gonna be one of those games where Kansas State's gonna say, Okay,
Speaker 6: so this team, you know, beat the cream of the
Speaker 6: crop last year in the Big twelve conference in the
Speaker 6: Alamo bull But it's like, we also want to prove
Speaker 6: ourselves going to a new conference. So I think you
Speaker 6: might be see a little bit more of an up
Speaker 6: and down battle. I think both teams are going to
Speaker 6: come out trying to impose their role on the other,
Speaker 6: and I.
Speaker 18: Think the team that makes the most plays.
Speaker 4: At the end of the day.
Speaker 6: I know it's cliche, but a couple more big plays
Speaker 6: that could be the difference between a fourteen point win
Speaker 6: and at some point loss.
Speaker 5: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I to me, anything can happen
Speaker 2: in this game, and that's what I'm kind of thinking of.
Speaker 2: You know, Arizona can blow them out, get blown out,
Speaker 2: win a close game, lose a close game. It's nothing.
Speaker 2: I don't think any well. I think I would be
Speaker 2: surprised if Arizone got blown out, I really do. I
Speaker 2: just think that they're better, better than that. You know
Speaker 2: that they're they're They're a team that shouldn't get blown
Speaker 2: out by anybody. I guess is the way I see
Speaker 2: Arizona anymore.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we we got the hosses up front, hopefully the
Speaker 6: depth is there obviously, but then we got the playmakers
Speaker 6: where we shouldn't be.
Speaker 5: Getting blown out by anybody.
Speaker 6: It's just a matter of showing up, you know, preparing
Speaker 6: the right way, getting coached up well, and then you
Speaker 6: just got to go out and you got to do
Speaker 6: better than the guy across the line from you.
Speaker 1: Okay, Jake, you get better. I will see you the win.
Speaker 3: Get tell them.
Speaker 2: Tell us how to get a hold of you.

Speaker 2: Yes, they've got the red helmet with the cats, uh
Speaker 2: script red pants.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 19: Yeah, so there's news, there's try hard and you know
Speaker 19: that that's a little bit of both. I mean I
Speaker 19: could see that going to Provo or somewhere like that.
Speaker 19: But when it's a Friday night game, at the primetime game,
Speaker 19: this is kind of a coming out party for the Cats,
Speaker 19: trying to assert the program. But there's no block a
Speaker 19: on the helmet. There's you know, they're not sticking with
Speaker 19: the brand, right, Like who made that idea? Who made
Speaker 19: that decision? Like you have a brand.
Speaker 6: Stick with it.
Speaker 19: Yeah, Joe, people, that is who we've always been in
Speaker 19: this are we have a basketball program that uses the
Speaker 19: same logo. So whoever made that decision is, you know,
Speaker 19: don't let the interns do that like they let they
Speaker 19: let somebody. But yeah, you know, Tea Money, I can't know.
Speaker 4: I like. I like the way you're going with this team. Money.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you because we we debate this with
Speaker 1: I do, at least with Jay and some of the
Speaker 1: listeners who have called in, are you look good?
Speaker 4: Play? Good guy? If you listen to us, you know
Speaker 4: I'm not you there. I guess he got off.
Speaker 19: I am look good play? But you know what, look
Speaker 19: your best and play your best? Like right, the block
Speaker 19: A is the logo, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 6: The brand, right And.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I remember when those helmets came out and
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm not sure I like that, but you
Speaker 2: know they're they're going to use them. It's like when
Speaker 2: they came out with the copper helmets, right, I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's not our color.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 19: Well, no, I get it, I understand. I mean there
Speaker 19: is appeal to it, but yeah, it's like showing up
Speaker 19: to showing up to your wedding and not a black tuxedo.
Speaker 19: You have to understand the venue. You've got to understand
Speaker 19: where you're at and when you're at, and this is
Speaker 19: not the time for that. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 5: I am?
Speaker 19: I'm bold enough to go on this rent?
Speaker 1: I No, That's that's why I wanted to put. If
Speaker 1: you're like thirty five, you're kind of us and not
Speaker 1: kind of us.
Speaker 19: I'm a little bit older than that. But I mean,
Speaker 19: I do remember when they switched to the block Ah.
Speaker 19: I do remember the swarm, you know, so so classic.
Speaker 19: Maybe pants with the cats next to the crotch where
Speaker 19: it should be, the block A on the helmet, maybe
Speaker 19: some stud stickers on the helmet. But yeah, that's what
Speaker 19: that's that's the classic look. And this is a Friday night.
Speaker 19: Everybody's gonna be watching it, and everybody.
Speaker 6: Shouldn't know who you are.
Speaker 19: But now we look like freaking uteb.
Speaker 1: So tell us, are you are you gonna win? Are
Speaker 1: they gonna win?
Speaker 19: If the O line can hold together and and give
Speaker 19: h give Noah some time?
Speaker 6: Uh yeah?
Speaker 19: But like you guys are saying, it could go so
Speaker 19: many different directions. I think this is this game begins
Speaker 19: and ends in Noah's head. And if if Noah can
Speaker 19: bring himself and will himself to to to will a win,
Speaker 19: I think they're gonna win. I'm gonna call it twenty four,
Speaker 19: twenty three, twenty something in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that's legit, all right, T Money, thanks
Speaker 2: a bunch man, Play good guy.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow, don't you don't you wish you were old enough
Speaker 1: to know better.
Speaker 2: I should be old enough to know better. I'm so
Speaker 2: bad at such a lot of that stuff. Stay, from
Speaker 2: the time I was a little kid, I've been hooked
Speaker 2: on uniforms and things.
Speaker 3: I always I just always have been.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I remember thinking about when I
Speaker 2: made my first Little League Majors team. Okay, so we
Speaker 2: got to where we had the whole uniform with the stirrups,
Speaker 2: and you know, remember you played miners and you played
Speaker 2: in the T shirt and jeans, and then you made
Speaker 2: Majors and I you had pants, and you had stirrups
Speaker 2: and the whole bit. And I just remember from day
Speaker 2: one wanted to make sure my stirrups were on right.
Speaker 2: I remember I would see guys who had the smaller
Speaker 2: side in the back, and I wanted to go tell
Speaker 2: them you got your socks on backwards. I remember the
Speaker 2: one year that my last year in majors, when I
Speaker 2: was twelve, and they gave us stirrups that were really
Speaker 2: high where the white could reach the bottom of your pants.
Speaker 2: And I thought that was the coolest thing ever. And
Speaker 2: that's just I've always been like that with uniforms. Look,
Speaker 2: I've never I hardly played at all when in JV
Speaker 2: and freshman football it's tomorrow. But I had the right
Speaker 2: socks and I look good. I look damn good. And

Speaker 2: I was good enough for the picture who helmet? No,
Speaker 2: they had had a massive helmet.
Speaker 4: Looks really good. What's up of that helmet?
Speaker 2: Looks like a helmet that fits on the line back.
Speaker 1: One of my guys from the Saturday Show said, why's
Speaker 1: Chase head so big?
Speaker 2: Because because it just I've had a blockhead forever. My
Speaker 2: my mom, because all my brothers my dad used to
Speaker 2: cut her hair, right, did your dad cut your hair?
Speaker 2: My dad used to cut our hair and my brothers
Speaker 2: I've got crew cuts, okay, and my mom wouldn't let
Speaker 2: him give me a crew cut because that looked like Frankenstein,
Speaker 2: all right. So this one time, this one time, she
Speaker 2: wasn't home when he cut my hair and he gave
Speaker 2: me a boat cut, and she would they I they were.
Speaker 2: She was so mad at him. I thought they're gonna
Speaker 2: get divorced over this. And it was the only time
Speaker 2: I ever got a crew cut after that. Eight Probably
Speaker 2: after that, maybe your dad did it on purpose, well,
Speaker 2: I think so, because after that she wouldn't let him
Speaker 2: cut my hair anymore. The guys still get got their
Speaker 2: hair cut by my dad. I went to a barber
Speaker 2: when you have this car, of course, yeah, oh it's

Speaker 4: I remember that everywhere.
Speaker 2: The initial block A, right, the one that Larry Smith
Speaker 2: brought with the where the where, the A was all red.
Speaker 2: And remember when they went from from that A to
Speaker 2: the one they have now, which they call it the
Speaker 2: academic A.
Speaker 3: And it was during Dick I think it was in.
Speaker 2: The going to the ninety season, maybe in eighty nine
Speaker 2: ninety season, I think the ninety season. And I remember
Speaker 2: thinking they're gonna lose games because of that, because because
Speaker 2: it's a weeny A. At the time, I like it.
Speaker 2: Now it's grown on me. It's okay, I'm fine with it.
Speaker 2: But I thought at the time that A doesn't that's
Speaker 2: not this is.
Speaker 1: Not tough enough, and you're not You're not Oregon. Oregon
Speaker 1: does it stupidly too. They give you different styles, different books,
Speaker 1: and everyone says, oh, that's what the kids want.
Speaker 4: Just win, just win.
Speaker 1: However, you know how my phosphy and ye give me
Speaker 1: a gunnysack and a good glove and a bat.
Speaker 4: Let's go play.
Speaker 3: Yes, I understand that, but I rather look good playing.
Speaker 4: I know, well, you have to get in the games.
Speaker 3: Well I got to get into the game. No, I
Speaker 3: didn't have to get in the game to look good.
Speaker 2: I look good even when I wasn't in the game.
Speaker 1: Oh, please call us, please call us, say this from
Speaker 1: this conversation. Okay, tomorrow, it was Friday. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: a show. We'll kind of have We'll try to have
Speaker 1: a little pre game, a little bit of a pregame
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 1: We can find out some people who's who are in town.
Speaker 2: And can give us some perspective, maybe some former players. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it might be hard, man, because we we bump
Speaker 2: right up against the start of the game, which is
Speaker 2: on Fox tomorrow. I've been telling people for weeks that
Speaker 2: this game is on ESPN. It's on Fox, so I
Speaker 2: hope I didn't confuse you. The program starts at five o'clock.
Speaker 2: Game usually starts, you know, seven after or something like that.
Speaker 2: But it's a it's a national game, so it should
Speaker 2: be good. It should be good. All right, we have
Speaker 2: a caller. Let's put them on. Hi, you're on the
Speaker 2: air and I on the ball.
Speaker 18: Hey guys, it's Richard.
Speaker 4: Tell you doing did we put you to sleep?
Speaker 18: My prediction for the Kansas State game is Arizona thirty
Speaker 18: five Kansas State twenty.
Speaker 4: WHOA.
Speaker 18: I just think Arizona's going to find.
Speaker 6: Their legs in this game.
Speaker 18: They played big.
Speaker 20: Time games already last year against Oklahoma on the road.
Speaker 20: I don't think that's going to be a factor. I
Speaker 20: think that being on the road is going to help
Speaker 20: them focus, and I think they're going to play good.
Speaker 20: I think it's going to take a while. Kansas State
Speaker 20: is very physical, very loud, crowd, very electric over there.
Speaker 20: But you know, also a friend of mine woman told me,
Speaker 20: you know.
Speaker 18: He said, Kansas State is the master of the legal
Speaker 18: late hit, so be careful, all right.
Speaker 4: All but other than that.
Speaker 18: I don't have anything exciting to say.
Speaker 8: I'm pretty bumped about.
Speaker 18: The Sooners are thirteen point favorites over tu Lane.
Speaker 20: I would take two lane on that.
Speaker 3: Wow, look at you well they oh.
Speaker 18: Yeah, was offensive stuttering yea badly?
Speaker 20: Their Jackson Arnold right now becoming our new offensive coordinator.
Speaker 20: We've had three tear rest receivers injured starters, so we're
Speaker 20: having a hard time getting anybody open. And I think Tulane,
Speaker 20: you know, we'll be have a more prolific offense. Our
Speaker 20: defense is really good at OU this year, but no offense.
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks for sure, Richard thirty five twenty, Thanks
Speaker 2: for calling. We appreciate it. All right, I've got another call. Hi,
Speaker 2: you're on the.
Speaker 3: Air and I on the ball.
Speaker 6: Hey, J and C the Tavier.
Speaker 3: How are you.
Speaker 8: I just thought I called and congratulate you guys on
Speaker 8: the move to that new radio station.
Speaker 2: We moved to a new location, going to the east side, northeast.
Speaker 2: We're in the foothills, hob We're in the foothills.
Speaker 4: You moved up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what they think. I mean, two
Speaker 2: Mexicans in the foothills. Maybe that's not you know, you
Speaker 2: don't know what they think. Are you stopping to stop
Speaker 2: and you get stairs.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to go there.
Speaker 1: Take it over. So I think Tom's calling because he
Speaker 1: he said, text me yesterday he did a story.
Speaker 4: On Brennan's road games.
Speaker 8: Right yeah, I mean, I thought, I think it's interesting
Speaker 8: when some when a new coach comes in and you know,
Speaker 8: goes on the road. And he really didn't have a
Speaker 8: good road record at.
Speaker 1: San Jose State.
Speaker 8: But at San Jose State, right and he did. He
Speaker 8: didn't win his last three on the road last year,
Speaker 8: including beating a nine and two Uni LV team That
Speaker 8: was really one of the talks of the college football
Speaker 8: late last season. They were nine and two and they
Speaker 8: went into UNLV and one or to a Legion stadium
Speaker 8: in one, so he had I mean, he he started
Speaker 8: zero to thirteen on the road and then he beat
Speaker 8: They beat Arkansas in the season opener in the twenty
Speaker 8: nineteen season, which you know for Santase States to go
Speaker 8: into an SEC school and win, that kind of shows
Speaker 8: that he can get a team ready to play and rowing.
Speaker 8: Now granted Arkansas wasn't very good that year, they only
Speaker 8: want two games, but that they were two and one
Speaker 8: when they played Santa the State. So I was I
Speaker 8: was just curious to see how how he got his
Speaker 8: team ready to play on the road because this is
Speaker 8: obviously his biggest road game.
Speaker 2: Well and on top of that, it's a day earlier, right,
Speaker 2: so they had to change their regular prep.
Speaker 3: It's a day early.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So there it's going to be interest see how
Speaker 8: they come out in the first quarter to second quarter
Speaker 8: because that I think that's going to kind of dictate
Speaker 8: how the game is going to go the way they
Speaker 8: prepared and if there they show us different things. And
Speaker 8: then we've seen the for two games. The players are back,
Speaker 8: have missed a lot last week, a lot of the
Speaker 8: players that were not there. If they're back, I think
Speaker 8: that's going to be the determining factor really how Arizona plays.
Speaker 8: And I think we'll get them ready and the assistant
Speaker 8: coaches will get them ready. Judging from how he's been
Speaker 8: able to be somewhat of a success on the road,
Speaker 8: especially last year, he hasn't been a top twenty MY
Speaker 8: team on the road, and he hasn't. The only Power
Speaker 8: five team he's beaten is is Arkansas.
Speaker 18: But that again, that was the center the state.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so.
Speaker 8: I think I think he's capable of leading a team
Speaker 8: into it a place like Kansas State and doing well
Speaker 8: and you know, at least being competitive. And a lot
Speaker 8: of people are are concerned about whether they'll hang with
Speaker 8: Kansas State. I think I think it's I think that's
Speaker 8: a possibility. I mean, that's a good possibility.
Speaker 1: So no, I have your have your to my left
Speaker 1: and haveer on the air. How long have I known
Speaker 1: you have here? But thirty years?
Speaker 4: Thirty long?
Speaker 1: Was this Alanna Javier that I've known for thirty years?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 20: No, I mean they are ranked, Arizon is ranked how
Speaker 20: many how many players were out last week including Baker who's.
Speaker 1: So no, I got Javier is in stereo, which is
Speaker 1: not a good thing. What do you think is gonna
Speaker 1: happen to borrow give me a score?
Speaker 20: I think Arizona will come up short, but it'll be
Speaker 20: more competitive what people think it will be. I think
Speaker 20: it could be around the point spread, around seven points,
Speaker 20: maybe like a twenty eight to twenty one or twenty
Speaker 20: to twenty four games. Yeah, yeah, well just because of
Speaker 20: a feta, the way he's the leader.
Speaker 6: And he's gonna want to bounce back to you had
Speaker 6: a bad game.
Speaker 1: Isn't this a case this year where now that we
Speaker 1: know they're going to have to score a lot of
Speaker 1: points to win in the thirties to win.
Speaker 2: You just generally have to do that in the Big
Speaker 2: twelve though, okay you are yeah, I mean even if
Speaker 2: you have a good defense, you're only giving you know,
Speaker 2: good defense is in the Big twelve?
Speaker 3: Still give up thirty points a game?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: How we got to run?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: Thank you for calling. We appreciate it and appreciate the insight.
Speaker 3: Love that.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. Howis time?
Speaker 2: We got about forty five seconds? About forty seconds here?
Speaker 4: Perfect? Perfect?
Speaker 1: Okay, tomorrow we'll talk more about the game. Actually, a
Speaker 1: couple of players here, former players to come on see
Speaker 1: if they say yes.
Speaker 3: Right, should be fun tomorrow, Right, So.
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna bump right up to the game
Speaker 2: and rush home and watch the game. So it's a
Speaker 2: five o'clock game tomorrow, Kansas State Arizona to two ranked teams.
Speaker 2: I think it's the only college game this week where
Speaker 2: two ranked teams are playing each other.
Speaker 4: So okay, so a lot of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, thanks for being here. We will see
Speaker 2: you tomorrow.
