A fantastic and I hope the way that you 49 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,919 guys have been playing all season long and the way 50 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,199 the Bufflos are playing on the road that being at 51 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,919 this Valentine's Day, you'll be somewhat loving to us on. 52 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: Saturday when we get Hey, man, you know, we always 53 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,080 try to be kind to everyone that comes into the 54 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,680 friendly confines of the Marriott Center, no doubt. But it'll 55 00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:29,080 be I'm sure a competitive one, no doubt. Look, the 56 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,599 Buffs have had their ups and downs this season, and 57 00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:33,960 recently your head coach went off on a bit of 58 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,560 a diatrode post game. 59 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: They are fantastic quotes. 60 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,719 Speaker 2: Give us a little breakdown what happened over the last 61 00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:43,840 twenty four to forty eight hours with the Buffalo basketball 62 00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:45,000 team and your head coach. 63 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,319 Speaker 3: Well, what what's going on is You've got you've got 64 00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:50,560 a young basketball team in the University of Colorado. There's 65 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120 one senior and he doesn't play much at all, and 66 00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:56,719 so it's it's mainly all freshman and sophomores. BEng Got 67 00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,599 Decket is a junior and he'll start. And so this 68 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,280 team a little bit immature. It's talented, but immature. And 69 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,400 here's what we're seeing with Colorado right now. Every team's 70 00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:07,639 going to be a little different home in the way 71 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,400 this team is really jackling Hyde home and away, you know, 72 00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:12,280 two wednesdays in a row. So you think of the 73 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,199 last four games, Bus have gone two and two, had 74 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:17,680 two nice wins at home, one over TCU, one over 75 00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:20,960 Arizona State, and then sandwiched around those two where two 76 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,759 lopsided losses, one at Iowa State and than one at 77 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,719 Texas Tech last night. Now those are quality opponents, make 78 00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:29,960 the mistake about it, but this is same Texas Tech 79 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,120 team they lost two by thirty four last night that 80 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:34,479 they lost you by two at home just a few 81 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,120 weeks ago. And so it's really an extreme team. And 82 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:40,960 what is getting Tad's at boils, you know, blood boiling, 83 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,719 is the fact that they've been so different home and 84 00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,520 away from a I think from an intensity standpoint, from 85 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,159 a toughness standpoint. So last night he comes on the 86 00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:51,840 postgame radio chill had it, carried it into the postgame 87 00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,280 press conference, and said he's not sure that the team 88 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,240 is worthy of taking the charter home. He thought maybe 89 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,479 should book them on a six am flight, would have 90 00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:02,120 been this morning. And I very quickly corrected him, said, 91 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,960 you know, I called him over here, so I paid 92 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,159 my dues. I'm okay getting unther charter. The rest of 93 00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:07,439 you can stay back, but I want to go home 94 00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:11,400 with the charter tonight. So's he's a competitive guy. He 95 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:14,599 rarely has an unspoken thought, and he's very honest most 96 00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:16,279 of the time. But he was frustrated and very honest 97 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:16,759 last night. 98 00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: Well, I can understand he's a little bit frustrated with 99 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,439 his team. Right now, what's been the trajection of this team? 100 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,000 I mean, overall, you're like, hey, fourteen and eleven team, 101 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,959 they are struggling in the Big twelve. We know the 102 00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:33,959 Big twelve is a gauntlet, but they've been competitive in 103 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:36,240 many of these games, right I mean, you look at 104 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,519 that Texas Tech matchup, It's like, hey, we were right 105 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,720 there knocking on the door. Cincinnati was a close one. 106 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,079 West Virginia had its back and forth. Kansas was a 107 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,959 close one. It was when you were within striking distance. 108 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,560 Even UCF the Iowa State game got away. Yeh beat TCU, 109 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,319 Baylor got away from you. That was a disappointing one. 110 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,639 Arizona State you bounced back, and then the Texas Tech 111 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,480 can go around was a flop. 112 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: But doodle, what's happened. 113 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of interesting that this team is early 114 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,800 on hees and if you look at the offensive numbers 115 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,839 for Colorado, it's a very I mean, the number is impressive. Right, 116 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,560 you know, they're able to score well. They shoot well 117 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,959 forty eight, forty nine, fifty percent. They've had a good 118 00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:20,480 three point shooting team all year long. Generally they took 119 00:05:20,519 --> 00:05:22,600 care of the ball well under ten. The game of 120 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,160 the last night was sixteen. And so they've done a 121 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,040 lot of things well on the offensive team. But like 122 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,000 a lot of young players, they gain their identity and 123 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,000 their energy for a game by what happens on the 124 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,639 offensive end. So last night, tax clamping down defensively and 125 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,040 instead of okay, let's pick up our intensity in a 126 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:41,759 defensive end. And okay, if you got to win this game. 127 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,839 You know, sixty to fifty seven, let's do that. You know, 128 00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:47,519 they continued to fire, continue to get their head down, 129 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,439 then head Town have intensity on the defensive end. During 130 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,160 Tad Boyle's tenure here fifteen previous seasons, this has been 131 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,240 a program built on defensive rebounding, and this team lacks 132 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,199 in both of those areas, despite the fact they're physically 133 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,199 capable of doing that. And so that in itself becomes 134 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:08,160 the problem that they identify offensively instead of living defensively 135 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:10,959 and rebounding and then letting the offense come. And that's 136 00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:12,759 why that's where the discrepancy has been on this team. 137 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,759 And and while he's getting so frustrated. 138 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,519 Speaker 2: Right now, well, it's it's always difficult to go through 139 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,480 long losing streaks. 140 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: Right there. 141 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: There was a there was a tough stretch there. It 142 00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,079 was a six game losing streak. You thought you got 143 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,279 back into the swing of things with a dominant victory 144 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:35,959 over TCU, then you drop to Baylor, you beat Arizona State, 145 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,959 then you lose the Texas Tech. Is this the bounce back? 146 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,360 We've gone one win lost, win lost? Are they looking 147 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,759 confident enough to get a win on the road? 148 00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: At b YU. 149 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 3: Well, I think they're certainly capable. Now, though obviously that'd 150 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,879 be a very steep hill to climb considering what BYU 151 00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:55,319 isn't kind of the personnel that the Cougars have. And 152 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,439 so but with this team, uh, I think what's frustrating 153 00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:01,839 about it? And we all know, like you mentioned just 154 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,839 a moment ago, the Big Twelve is an unforgiving league. 155 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,639 It's the best college basketball league in America. We all 156 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,120 understand that. So you're going to face a Byu or 157 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,720 a Techer in Iowa State or Kansas or you know 158 00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:17,240 Houston or you know Arizona any given week, and sometimes 159 00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:19,040 you stack them up three four in a row, and 160 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,360 it gets me very difficult. So when you are a 161 00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,079 young squad like Colorado is, and then let's just be 162 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,680 real honest about it. What college athletics is I'm pretty 163 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,959 sure it's either fifteenth or sixteen. The Buff's roster payroll 164 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:34,879 is either dead last or next to dead last in 165 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,600 the Big Twelve. And so you're bringing a knife to 166 00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,600 a gunfight in some respects Now, is that an excuse 167 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,160 for losing? No? Is it a contributing factor? It can be. 168 00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:47,240 And so this is a talented team. I mean right now, 169 00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:49,920 this freshman class, you know, you've got so many guys 170 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,079 like you know the Maaster where you're at another freshman 171 00:07:52,079 --> 00:07:54,279 around the league that are so good. He kind of 172 00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:56,759 gets lost in the mix. But Isaiah Johnson is a 173 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,879 very good freshman. He leads the Buffalo is a sixteen 174 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,600 pointsoot ball game. He's got NBA ties. His godfather is 175 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,199 is Dwayne Wade. His dad works with Lebron James. And 176 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,240 you know we're down to Tempe and Chris Paul shows 177 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,480 up to be So this kid has been around here 178 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,439 NBA basketball and playing against NBA players. Said, he's on 179 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,279 fourteen or fifteen years old, so he's got a very 180 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,600 high upside. He's he got of defies by what he 181 00:08:19,639 --> 00:08:21,879 looks like, by how he plays. Looks like he's fourteen 182 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,000 years old, ways aboute hundred and sixty five pounds, but 183 00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:28,319 a very talented kid. There's Jayalen holland, Josiah Sanders, ian 184 00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:32,080 Enman Tacowe following. These are all really talented young guys, 185 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,399 but they don't know what they don't know at the 186 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:36,399 age of eighteen years old, and so there's going to 187 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:38,480 be some ups and downs. With this team, and you 188 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,879 know last night they had it down and so they're 189 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:42,480 hoping to bounce back, but you got to do it 190 00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:45,360 on the road against another very quality team, a top 191 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,480 level team, and so it's not going to be easy 192 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,840 when they take on the BYU. 193 00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: Let's get a scouting report on these bops from a 194 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,840 personnel standpoint. You named off a few of these players. 195 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,320 I know Isaiah Johnson is the leading score of this team, 196 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,440 and there's some some good big men on this team 197 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,159 as well. I think there's some talent. You mentioned that 198 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,399 they're more than capable of beating many of these big 199 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,480 twelve teams, and they've showcased that. Let's get a little 200 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:10,639 personnel breakdown if you could. 201 00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 3: Well, therein lies the issue right there, and you saw 202 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,960 it last night. I don't know this is the box 203 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,120 score in front of you, but the two guys that 204 00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:20,080 were supposed to be even though there are only ones 205 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,000 in upperclassman Payne got Dak is just about seven feet 206 00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:25,759 tall and he's a pogo stick and a real bouncy guy. 207 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:28,679 A little on the green side, but he was going 208 00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:30,039 to be one of the two guys that were going 209 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,240 to really build her out with all the freshmen coming in. Okay, 210 00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:36,120 you're gonna be one of the guys. And then Sebastian Ronchik, 211 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,799 who's a sophomore from Slovaki sixty eleven, highly skilled guy. 212 00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:44,240 I mean, he's got an NBA look about him. Now, 213 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,759 is he mentally tough enough to move out of the 214 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,799 NBA that's the question mark because he's been very inconsistent. 215 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,759 He can shoot it, he could put it on the floor. 216 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,279 He's kind of a stretch forward type, but really has 217 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,120 got an NBA game about him. Those guys last night 218 00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:03,480 were horble in that game against Texas Tech. In fact, 219 00:10:04,039 --> 00:10:05,720 one of the coaching staff I was driving home last 220 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:07,799 night after we land and shot me a quick text 221 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,320 about some of the numbers about what the three bigs 222 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,080 for Tech did, and it was, you know, phenomenal shooting, 223 00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:16,080 fifty percent shooting and scored you know, thirty two points 224 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:19,519 or something combined, and the two bigs for Colorado only 225 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,159 had I think it was three points between the two 226 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,960 of them at about five rebounds and five turnovers on 227 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,519 top of it. So they've been inconsistent. That is probably 228 00:10:28,519 --> 00:10:30,080 the major if you're going to kind of finger one 229 00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:32,360 thing you point to that the two guys that were 230 00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,600 supposed to elevate and be the cornerstone to the team 231 00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:37,480 and allow the young guys to kind of come in 232 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,360 and grow a little bit haven't been as good consistently 233 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:43,120 as they should have been. Now do they have great games. 234 00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:45,559 Just the game before Sebastian Rodgerson went out, I had 235 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,440 seventeen points, eleven rebounds, and a win over Arizona State 236 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,279 and was the best player in the court that night. 237 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,679 Hit what three or four three pointers in that ball game, 238 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:55,759 grabbed the four or five offensive rebounds, and so they're 239 00:10:55,879 --> 00:11:00,320 very capable, but they might lead the parade and inconsistency, 240 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,200 and that's probably most troubling about that. Outside of that, 241 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,320 Barrington Hargress is a transfer guard from UC Riverside average 242 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,879 over twenty eight games froe of the top scorers in 243 00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:12,360 the country a year ago. He has been wonderful. Now 244 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,399 he's six foot one, average about four or five assists 245 00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:17,440 for ball game. Is this is eternal oprations about three 246 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,360 and a half to one. He has been as solid 247 00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:21,480 as they come. So the two guys in the backcourt, 248 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,679 Barrington Hargress and Isaiah Johnson, have been kind of the 249 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,559 steadying force in this thing. The other youngsters have come 250 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,639 in and played well at different times. Those two bigs, 251 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:32,240 like I said, I've got to find themselves more consistency 252 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,279 down the stretch before we get to Kansas City. 253 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: Well, I love the breakdown from I don't know if 254 00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,639 you've chatted with the coaches or any of the players 255 00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,480 about their scouting report on b Yu. But what's the 256 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:47,799 buzz there amongst the Buffaloes regarding the formidable foe that 257 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,000 he's BYU at the Merriage Center on Valentine's Day? 258 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, there wasn't much talk about that. I'm supposed to 259 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,080 get together with the coaches, got the scout later on 260 00:11:55,159 --> 00:11:56,879 today and get a couple of comments from him on that. 261 00:11:57,039 --> 00:12:00,200 But obviously, you know, you think about we've seen b 262 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:02,879 Yu last year he had the band said he is 263 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,600 obviously maybe the number one pick in the upcoming draft, 264 00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,399 and he's dynamic with what he does. And Richie Saunders, 265 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:09,960 of course we saw him enough last year or know 266 00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:12,039 that what he was able to do. And and then 267 00:12:12,159 --> 00:12:14,600 you know, Robert writes a very quality players, so you know, 268 00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,879 there's what we understand what you're getting up against. Uh, 269 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,799 you know, when you when you start playing BYU, the 270 00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:21,960 way they shoot the ball, the way they rebound the ball, 271 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,879 what they do. It's a quality of quality opponent, like 272 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,759 like you kind of get used to in this league, right, 273 00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:30,320 And so there's no you know, thoughts that somehow, you know, 274 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,000 we're walking into a situation where you got you know, 275 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,519 an opportunity where where the bops are sitting right now, 276 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,039 if you look at this and say, okay, this is 277 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:38,519 the game, we're really going to come in and we 278 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,000 got a chance to win this one. We thought that 279 00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:41,559 going down the Baylor here, it's a true time ago 280 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,799 didn't work out that night. Now, this team BYU is 281 00:12:44,799 --> 00:12:47,639 a lot better than what Baylor is. Baylor's talented, BYU 282 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,200 is a better team, and so I think it's a 283 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,600 great challenge for Colorado win SATA, no. 284 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: Doubt about it. 285 00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: We got Mark Johnson on the line, Cougar Sports, HESBA 286 00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:58,279 the fan, Mark Johnson, the voice of the Colorado Buffalo's 287 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,600 talking to buff Ball here on your Utah ESPN Radio network. 288 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,440 It's you know, obviously be always favored in this one, 289 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,919 heavily favored. You've been watching Big twelve basketball now, I 290 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:15,600 guess reignited, right compared contrast Big twelve basketball of the 291 00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:20,360 prior I guess Colorado era before jumping into the PAC twelve, 292 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:22,679 and what the Big twelve looks like now. 293 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 3: Well, it's totally different. You know. It's interesting because you know, 294 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,399 Colorado has got the phenomenal history in the league. Big seven, 295 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,279 Big eight, Big twelve one are the original members of it, 296 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,159 and so there was always that great history. When Colorado 297 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,159 made the jump in Tad Boyle's second year to the 298 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,080 PAC twelve, you understood the reasoning behind it. There were 299 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,879 a lot of fans that weren't happy about, you know, 300 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,799 kind of leaving behind the old old Big eight, Big twelve, 301 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,720 but you understood because Colorado's fan base or alumni base, 302 00:13:49,799 --> 00:13:52,080 i should say, is really East coast or West coast heavy, 303 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:54,799 very heavy in California, and so it made sense in 304 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,159 that regard. And there are other things. Now, let's be 305 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000 honest about it, the expanded PAC twelve and the leadership 306 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,120 that league. We're an unmitigated disaster in terms of how 307 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,679 they handled things, what they did, they ruined it. Larry 308 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,440 Scott might be go down as one of the worst 309 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,879 commissioners in the history of sports. I mean, a guy 310 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:12,600 who was a clown. And so you see that thing 311 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,399 fall apart, and and so you come back now with 312 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,080 this ever shifting ground. We'reund in college athletics and you 313 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,519 know nil and transfer portals and all that and kind 314 00:14:20,519 --> 00:14:23,360 of get reunited with the old conference. But I mean, 315 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,720 look how different it is. You know, I joke all 316 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,639 the time during the football season, I said, boy, nothing 317 00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:30,519 says Big twelve Conference, you know, football like Colorado at 318 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,279 West Virginia. I mean, it just you know, doesn't doesn't 319 00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:37,799 seem to resonate with us. Now, with that being said, 320 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,000 it's a very good and fine football league, but it 321 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,080 is a spectacular basketball league. And so when you've got 322 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,840 you know, the Pac twelve leftovers that moved on from Arizona, 323 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,039 you know, Colorado, Arizona State, Utah comes in there by 324 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:55,240 you joins from the outside. And then you add Central 325 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,759 Florida has become kind of an interesting program in terms 326 00:14:57,759 --> 00:14:59,759 of the money they're spending down there. West Virginia's got 327 00:14:59,799 --> 00:15:02,320 great history, and in Cincinnati, which has you know, got 328 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,159 final fours in its history. You've created this monster conference 329 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,559 that I think is is better than virtually anything in 330 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:11,960 the country right now and can play with anybody. There's 331 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,480 a reason, you know, why there's what six seven teams 332 00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:16,919 rank in the top twenty five and everyone I think 333 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,039 still everyone but Utah. I think the last I checked 334 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,759 is in the top one hundred of the net. And 335 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,159 so it's such a monster and that's why it's so grueling, 336 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:27,279 you know, gaming and game outs. You know, one of 337 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,240 the coaches said the other day to me that, you know, 338 00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:30,720 we wouldn't have faced this kind of schedule in the 339 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:33,559 whole Pac twelve. Not you wouldn't have. Because what this 340 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,519 thing is now is really special from a basketball standpoint, 341 00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:38,320 but it makes it tough on everybody. And if you're 342 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,879 having a year where maybe you're a little bit young, 343 00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:43,799 or you suffer some injuries or guys don't pan out, 344 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,759 you bet you better get ready because you're gonna take 345 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:46,200 your lumps. 346 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: I can't wait to get your opinion after this particular game, 347 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:54,080 after watching aj to Bonds up close and personal, you've 348 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,320 seen Darren Peterson recently. He played I think one of 349 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,840 the few games thirty two minutes, sixteen points. I think 350 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,159 he was six to fifteen versus the Boffs, three of 351 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,159 five for the three point line and one for two 352 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,039 from the charity stripe, six rebounds, he had two turnovers 353 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,919 in that game. I can't wait to get your opinion 354 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,360 on who you would take number one overall in the 355 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,120 NBA draft. 356 00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: Mark. 357 00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. My partner and I Scott Wilke, 358 00:16:17,799 --> 00:16:19,679 who was a great player for the Buffalos back in 359 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,600 the eighties, went on and played professionally, sniffed around the 360 00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:24,720 NBA for a while, was over in Europe for out 361 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,440 of the fourteen to fifteen years. And this is just 362 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,799 a basketball junkie we got. Being that we had time 363 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,679 to talk about such things in the second half of 364 00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:33,000 that ball game last night. We got into those kind 365 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:36,600 of conversations because there are some great freshmen in this league, 366 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,519 and we kind of went back and forth. And you 367 00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:43,039 know Peterson recently here with his decision not to play 368 00:16:43,039 --> 00:16:45,080 against Arizona. He's had a ball game earlier. We had 369 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,200 been playing the second half, and you're like, Okay, you're talented. 370 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,879 Make no mistake about that one we saw him. I 371 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,720 was wildly impressed with what he is as a player, 372 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,120 But that bothers you. I've been impressed with the Boston 373 00:16:57,039 --> 00:16:59,840 and kind of his commitments and the way he plays. 374 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,240 I think I would take him. That would be my 375 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,079 pick there, and I'd shive away a little bit way 376 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,079 from Peterson simply because of kind of the external things 377 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:11,079 that are going on around him that that body a 378 00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:12,480 little bit. But then again, we're going to deal more 379 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,480 and more with that in college athletics when we got 380 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,559 a professional feel and a professional approach and professional money. 381 00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:19,400 So that's going to become part of what we're dealing with. 382 00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:22,079 But at this level, you want to see guys that 383 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,240 are hungry and they're competing and they've got a little 384 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,519 nasty to them, and and so you don't see that 385 00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:30,240 from every one of the guys. And that's why I'm 386 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,680 looking forward to seeing demonsty in in you know, in 387 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,880 person this weekend, because I've seen enough highlights and I've 388 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,880 watched some of the games and got a good look 389 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,519 at him and a great appreciation for what he is. 390 00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:41,519 But you know, you never truly get that feel until 391 00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:42,799 you're sitting right in front of him and kind of 392 00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:43,480 see him perform. 393 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: I get the feeling mark that you're you're an anti 394 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,240 load management guy, right. 395 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:53,799 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a dirty word. Well, 396 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,200 I'll take you a great explanation here. You know, Marshall Funk, 397 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,680 who was another football staff here at Colorado last year. Yeah, 398 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,519 and I was doing an event with Mark. We were 399 00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:02,279 talking about this every thing, and I said, he said, 400 00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:04,640 give me your opinions, and he said, what we've done 401 00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:06,599 and he used, you know, on that staff, he had 402 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,440 Deon Sanders obviously, and Warren Stamp And he says, well, 403 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,839 Dianna and Warren and I were coming up. College was 404 00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:17,000 our next step to get to the goal, and we 405 00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:19,839 knew that we had to fight and work hard and 406 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,519 bleed and all that kind of stuff and sweat to 407 00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:25,400 get there because then we'd get the reward. He says, 408 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,599 what we've done now, we've given the eighteen nineteen year 409 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,960 old the reward. It has taken the motivation away. And 410 00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:33,960 he said it from his standpoint, he says, I see 411 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,039 it in the eyes of the players that I'm coaching. 412 00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:39,920 Some of them are hardworking kids, but there's there's not 413 00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:43,440 that incredible hunger of this is how I get out. 414 00:18:43,839 --> 00:18:46,359 He said, that's gone. I had it, Prime added Warren 415 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,799 add it other great the players had it, and then 416 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,599 you you know, get that reward once you get to 417 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,759 the National Football League of the NBA. And he said, 418 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,319 we've taken that away. From these guys, and he said, 419 00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:56,480 I wonder long term how that's going to affect our game. 420 00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:59,240 And I think it was an interesting thought by him. 421 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you teach competitive nature? How do you 422 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,640 teach a sense of urgency? How do you teach like 423 00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:12,720 that that hunger of like it's you know, I don't 424 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,880 want to say fear, but you know there is a 425 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,799 bit of a fear of like, oh my gosh, I 426 00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:19,720 could lose this at any moment. I gotta I gotta 427 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119 show up. I gotta compete. I I It's a fight 428 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,240 or flight type of deal. 429 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: How do you teach that there. 430 00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 3: Is no doubt? You know? I once heard somebody say 431 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,200 that rock Bottom has created more success than privilege ever has. 432 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,000 And when you get a guy and you're backed up 433 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,400 against the wall and you know that's your only way out, 434 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:41,359 you were going to do everything to get there, and 435 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,559 you know, very few guys are naturally have that killer instincts. 436 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,880 You know, when you get great talents and great work 437 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,680 ethic and great killer instinct you put it together. You 438 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,319 get Michael Jordan, right, you get Special, you get Kobe Bryant. 439 00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:55,319 Those guys are unique. How many times do we see 440 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,000 in pro sports, a guy that you know, he's fighting 441 00:19:58,039 --> 00:20:01,519 along in his career and then he it's the big contract, 442 00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:03,440 and all of a sudden, you see the level of 443 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,559 intensity kind of kind of tail off a little bit. 444 00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:08,200 I mean, that's human nature. We all got to fight that. 445 00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:10,640 Some guys are better at it than others. And I 446 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,960 don't know how you teach beyond that. You know, it 447 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,160 seems to me in my experience being an old guy. 448 00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:18,720 You know, I think I think it's innate or it's not. 449 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,200 It's either in there or it's not. I don't know 450 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,920 that you can teach killer instinct, you know. And you 451 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,839 think of the greatest athletes we've ever seen, and go 452 00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:28,880 on down the line with Bird and Jordan and Gretzky 453 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,960 and Tiger Woods and you know, pick all the great 454 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,759 ones out. They all had that. I think of eightly, 455 00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:35,359 And I'm not sure if you can teach it, but 456 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,039 I do think you can dampen it early on by 457 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,240 getting too much comfort and you know, kind of making 458 00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:44,359 things easy on guys. And I do wonder if that's 459 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,240 going to affect to our game. 460 00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 2: Love that perspective, Mark John said, The voice of the 461 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,960 Colorado Buffalo is one last thing before I let you go, Mark, 462 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,799 because I know this is you're in lockstep with me 463 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,240 on this one. 464 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:53,839 Speaker 1: Arm at arm. 465 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: I have found it refreshing. Okay, well, let me take 466 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,720 a step back. Over the last like ten to fifteen, 467 00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:02,759 may even twenty years, I've seen like kind of a god, 468 00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:07,119 Deity and Christ take a back seat in the postgame interview, right, 469 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,400 you know, praising God, and like it's it's had a 470 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,680 revival of resurgence over the last two to three years 471 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,640 collegiately and professionally, and I'm loving it. 472 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:17,839 Speaker 1: Man. 473 00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:20,759 Speaker 2: I've heard so many testimonies time and time again postgame 474 00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:24,279 and and look, these athletes are not perfect. They fall 475 00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:28,160 short in many ways personally, spiritually, morally, ethically, all those things. 476 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,920 But like, I just love the fact that they're they're 477 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,119 putting their faith on their sleeve and promoting faith in 478 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,880 an era that has kind of ridiculed it a bit. 479 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: Well, we live in a world that is very hostile, 480 00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,400 and we understand that from scripture, don't we. And for 481 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,559 your listeners that don't know what I was going to 482 00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:46,880 be there as sportscaster, a pastor and I am actually 483 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,519 a pastor, a pastor a lot and preach a lot 484 00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:49,759 and do a lot of that kind of stuff. And 485 00:21:49,839 --> 00:21:51,839 so that's something that's near and dear to my heart. 486 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,039 And you know, in a role like mine, who a 487 00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:56,880 guy that works for the institution not gonna be very 488 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,319 careful when I approach his anthles, sure about that, right, 489 00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,759 go up and start those conversations. But I can respond 490 00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:04,880 to the conversations. And so over the course of time, 491 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,359 a lot of young men have come up and started 492 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,359 those conversations with me that I'm allowed to. And so 493 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,240 having those conversations, I love the fact and a lot 494 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,680 of times with these young guys, it's it might be immature, right, 495 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,279 they're not fully understanding where it comes from, but what 496 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,519 it's ald about and how it works. But there's an interest, 497 00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:25,559 there's an intrigue, and they're looking for comfort in some respects, 498 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,119 they're looking for dealing with the stress. And I understand that, 499 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,240 and I think it's important then for those that are 500 00:22:30,279 --> 00:22:33,200 in those positions then to encourage those young men to 501 00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:37,160 understand what it's all about. Right. And I'll tell you 502 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,759 a great story. Once I what young man that I 503 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:40,319 was kind of talking to in a regular basis, I 504 00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:41,759 walked the locker room. He's got a shirt off, and 505 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,240 we've all seen this with asley try they got the tattoo. 506 00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:46,720 Only God can judge me, and it was kind of funny. 507 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,680 And I walk up to and I said, a nice tattoo, 508 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,119 and he goes great, and I said, what does that 509 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,720 mean to you? And he so he tells me. And 510 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,279 then I said to him, I said, you're right, and 511 00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:58,960 he will according to scripture, and that should terrify you, right, 512 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,160 which is why you And so it prompted a great 513 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,759 conversation with him about what that means. And I love 514 00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:08,359 the fact we're seeing listen, anytime the Gospels preach man, 515 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,880 I'm all for it. And you're seeing that more and 516 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,039 more and more. And then I think it's important for 517 00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:13,599 all of us older guys to kind of help them 518 00:23:13,599 --> 00:23:15,799 along and kind of take that walk down their faith. 519 00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:17,519 And so you're never gonna hear me poo poo that 520 00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:18,359 kind of idea. 521 00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: Love it, Mark.
