<v Speaker 3>Welcome to I on the Ball here on Fox Sports

6
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 3>fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, He's Dave Silver and we

7
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 3>got Ryan under controls of the MIC's here and stuff.

8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Welcome everybody to Tuesday's show. Another day closer to D

9
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 3>on Prime Prime, D on Prime Time and Prime.

10
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you going probably not, we'll see, haven't about

11
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 2>it sold out? Right? So anybody has a ticket thing?

12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's there's tickets and go some of the

13
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.119
<v Speaker 2>secondary markets. But should be interesting after what we've seen

14
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 2>the last three weeks.

15
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

16
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it was almost a favorite favorite. Yeah, well,

17
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 3>I was right. I wouldn't imagine that it could be

18
00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>a It could be a Tiger.

19
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And who knows. Arizona's had Colorado's number, to be honest,

20
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>really the last as far as I can remember, they

21
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>seem to have pretty good success. For Buffalos are going

22
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>to have their best player back, Travis Hunter, so that

23
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>could make things interesting. He's all over the place both

24
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 2>sides of the field.

25
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Right we'll find out, at least on a head to

26
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 3>head basis if they go. They don't go head ahead,

27
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>but I guess they might. I mean team team back. Yeah,

28
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 3>who's the better who's a better prospect? They're both very

29
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:29.280
<v Speaker 3>good obviously.

30
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the NFL scouts will be watching those two. It'll

31
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see if they do go one on one,

32
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>but probably not.

33
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well the defense, right, so we'll see. We'll see,

34
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Uh should be. It should be a fun game. I'm

35
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 3>not sure if I'm going to go as a credential girl,

36
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 3>a creudential person, or or or a guy who's a

37
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 3>as a fan. I'm not sure. Yeah, and I'm not

38
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 3>a fan. I just watch so everybody knows that. We'll

39
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 3>see what happens. We'll talk more about that obviously later. Ryan,

40
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 3>thanks for coming on in a lot of stuff to

41
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 3>talk to you and breaking news or out in the

42
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.200
<v Speaker 3>bricking news area. And uh, Dave, welcome back.

43
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can't get rid of me. I guess huh,

44
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>so here I am again.

45
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Hey, if you were you were retired, dude, you wouldn't

46
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 3>be here. Yeah, I'm glad. I'm glad you're retired.

47
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I could have fit this into my

48
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>very busy schedule. But now it's not too busy.

49
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 3>Well, you're My understanding is you've been just as it's

50
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.159
<v Speaker 3>like I think it was Dick, Tony or Luz. Just

51
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:25.520
<v Speaker 3>don't retire because you're too busy.

52
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 2>It's true.

53
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 3>You know, you can get more people asking stuff.

54
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Those guys both stayed busy in there after coaching years

55
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>for sure. Like Dick Tomy moves back to Tucson, LUTs

56
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>never left. He was always involved in this shaking hands

57
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 2>because he worked. He had the same team with you

58
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of.

59
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

60
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>He worked in development for the UFA Foundation. All you

61
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.879
<v Speaker 2>have to do is show up, right basically was he

62
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>was a great ambassador as you can imagine. You say

63
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have loot at your events, people would come

64
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>no matter where you were in the country, and lout

65
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 2>was such a good sport. I remember one time in

66
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco there was an event and he didn't have

67
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 2>to be there, but he was there and people loved it. Yeah,

68
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>he was. He was great for that. Yeah. And did

69
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.639
<v Speaker 2>he tell stories, told stories, signed autographs, took pictures. I mean,

70
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>he's just a great sport.

71
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Right right, the stories and I you know, was with

72
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 3>him for a long long time. The one thing about

73
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 3>him he was a good storyteller, but he took forever

74
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 3>to tell the stories.

75
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was yeah, I used to We used to

76
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>joke doing interviews with him. Sometimes it would be like

77
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the two arm interview because your arm would get so

78
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.159
<v Speaker 2>tired holding the microphone. You'd have to switch hands because

79
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 2>he would he would go on for a while. But

80
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'd rather have that oh yeah, yeah, than

81
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody who wouldn't say anything, no question about it.

82
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 3>He was good, no question about that, and a lot

83
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 3>of people like it. Yes, It's like it's like Bill Chick, right,

84
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:43.360
<v Speaker 3>he's he was yeah, okay, but now he's everywhere. Now

85
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:43.919
<v Speaker 3>he's everywhere.

86
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>You can't miss him. I mean, you turn on last night,

87
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>he's doing the Peyton and Eli show for the whole

88
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 2>first half of that game, and he's on forever, right,

89
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 2>And then he was on and he was good?

90
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 4>Was he?

91
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 3>He was pretty good? I guess waxing poetic or being

92
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 3>mean to the giants of organization, not giants.

93
00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>To the Jets.

94
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And then he was on McAfee earlier in the

95
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 3>day and I listened to that. He was pretty good.

96
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 3>Here's the guy that wouldn't give you two sentences. Now

97
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 3>he's kind of he's.

98
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>He's found his Niche is a whatever commentator and he

99
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>gets picked up. He's on a handful of shows. Yeah,

100
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>so he's you know, he's good at it too, which

101
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 2>is kind of weird because he was he was good.

102
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>There was a documentary that he did with Bill Parcells

103
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, maybe ten fifteen years I remember

104
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 2>seeing that and you'd never seen Belichick like that. He

105
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>was really open and honest and telling stories. Right, it's

106
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 2>pretty good at that. Just got to get him comfortable

107
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 2>in no media around. Yeah, or now that he's the media,

108
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I guess. Yeah, I don't know what he you know,

109
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, what he even consider coming back? He's late seventies.

110
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Does he want to do that all over?

111
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

112
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm not too sure. I'm not sure he'd be the

113
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 3>same guy because his career took a hit when Brady left. Obviously,

114
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 3>but the Cowboys might be looking for a coach like

115
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 3>this week, Yeah, he's I wasn't so isn't what's his name?

116
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.399
<v Speaker 3>Jones said he was adamant that he's not and get

117
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 3>a new coach. And then this season and He even

118
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 3>talked to two report says do you think I'm an idiot?

119
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Do you think I'm an idiot? And the guy i'm

120
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 3>sure said no, but I'm sure in his mind's saying, well,

121
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 3>can I think about it?

122
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I realized it's the Cowboys, and it's everything's magnified.

123
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 2>But gosh, when they lose a game like that at

124
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>home and you know, it's the Marquee game and everybody's

125
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>waiting to see what they're going to do, and then

126
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 2>they lay an egg and it's it's you know what

127
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they ask for it. I mean, they're the

128
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, model franchise I guess of the NFL. Maybe

129
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>not well, but you know, the Marquee.

130
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 3>Let me let me say this because I know some

131
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.720
<v Speaker 3>people listen who are Cowboy fans.

132
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 2>When is the.

133
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:38.360
<v Speaker 3>NFL at its best, at its best? And I'm going

134
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.399
<v Speaker 3>to say this just randomly, when when when the Cowboys

135
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 3>are pretty good?

136
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 2>Because you have a lot of.

137
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 3>People who hate the crap out of them or love

138
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 3>the heck out of them right their bait, they're polarizing, uh,

139
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 3>but them and maybe what the Kansas City chiefs now

140
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:56.160
<v Speaker 3>are kind of they're likable. The Chiefs, I think so, yeah,

141
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 3>the Chiefs.

142
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

143
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know who else besides the Cowboy the PINNNFL, Yeah,

144
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 3>twenty nine Ers, Yeah, not so much.

145
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I mean the Steelers.

146
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Maybe, yeah, but those those days Wednesdays are long. It's

147
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.079
<v Speaker 3>like the Steelers and the Cowboys are long gone, right,

148
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.399
<v Speaker 3>I mean, because it's been twenty seven years almost, it

149
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 3>has been twenty seven twenty years.

150
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:16.879
<v Speaker 1>You know.

151
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 2>It's really kind of the same way in almost every

152
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>professional sport too. When you think about the Yankees and

153
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and yeah, you know, you know that Fox

154
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 2>is hoping that's going to turn out that way, and

155
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>even Mets Yankees would be big for them. But in

156
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 2>the same way in the pros with basketball, I mean,

157
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Laker Breakers, the Celtics and the Knicks

158
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.079
<v Speaker 2>and the Warriors.

159
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 3>And everyone's doing one of those four. Everyone's done for

160
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 3>the good old days.

161
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah.

162
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 3>The kids are saying, ah, who cares about those guys?

163
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>True? You know, right?

164
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Who who would be your wheelhouse? Not the true kid,

165
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 3>but you're a kid. As far as baseball baseball yeah, Yankees, Yankees, yeah,

166
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.279
<v Speaker 3>and and who knows because they're the best two. The

167
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 3>two best teams in right now is the Yankees and

168
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:01.600
<v Speaker 3>the Dodge Dodgers, Right, so.

169
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.439
<v Speaker 2>That would that would be the marquee game. But again,

170
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.279
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, you know when you turn on the

171
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 2>TV in the morning and that's all they're talking about,

172
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>is just they know that's you know, Dallas and Lebron

173
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 2>and Kobe when he was alive was a big, big

174
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:17.759
<v Speaker 2>topics and.

175
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, it's like like I said, it's polarizing.

176
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 3>The people who hate him love their situation now because

177
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 3>they're horrible and they're struggling and blah blah blah, and

178
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.879
<v Speaker 3>the guys who love them most. Hell, we do enough

179
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>of this suffering.

180
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Why aren't we talking about the Packers? Yeah, you know,

181
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean that division? How about that little division of

182
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.839
<v Speaker 2>four and two teams like everybody?

183
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 3>So they're a good start, right So so we'll see.

184
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's me talk you real quick about the guests today.

185

202
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 3>about the pressures of being a quarterback. We had were

203
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 3>you here with George Mellow last week?

204
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 8>No?

205
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so we had him just the pressures. He's a

206
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 3>fantastic story. His all those kids are do you want athletes?

207
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>You know I heard I heard that interview with you guys.

208
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I was I didn't know about that. Yeah, he's playing.

209
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:42.519
<v Speaker 3>Softball, softball, A couple of a couple of donors playing softball, well,

210
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 3>a couple of kids boys playing, one playing college prisoner,

211
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 3>the other one like the study quarterback in the West Coast.

212
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh but Bosco, Bosco, I think it is okay like

213
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.600
<v Speaker 3>this starting as a freshman Wow. As one of the

214
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 3>top programs in the country.

215
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 8>Wow.

216
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.159
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, yeah. I joked with him obviously.

217
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 2>His his wife.

218
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 3>His wife, he yeah, she says, yeah, she's the one.

219
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>She was.

220
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:06.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure if she was you away, but she

221
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 3>was an athlete, a tolerant athlete, I think, and he

222
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 3>was you know what, maybe six ft five eleven or whatever.

223
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.440
<v Speaker 3>And now he has those people, So will you're gonna

224
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 3>have him on see what he's up to. I think

225
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 3>he's in California. Talked to him this morning. It was

226
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 3>a year a few years ago. I had him on

227
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 3>the show at the other station. So now we'll just

228
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 3>touch basins. He what's up with him? Because he had

229
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.399
<v Speaker 3>a weird career, you know, and and one of those

230
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 3>ones where everyone pays attention now to those concussions.

231
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 2>It's true. I mean there were times where he got

232
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.720
<v Speaker 2>hit hard. I remember that LSU game on the road,

233
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>knowing at home at home one too. But I remember

234
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>hearing stories about just having him how difficult it was

235
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>for him just to travel back to Tucson. I mean,

236
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 2>I think they put him on the team plane, but

237
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.080
<v Speaker 2>it was kind of like, maybe we shouldn't have done that,

238
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 2>we should have kept him overnight. But I mean, he

239
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>can maybe tell us if he even remembers that story.

240
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 2>But I'm pretty sure there was a there were a

241
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.679
<v Speaker 2>few incidences where he was really knocked down.

242
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Hard, right, and then in case now it's too I mean,

243
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 3>does he I'm sure he feels what he's going through.

244
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, didn't. I think the coach mentioned last night that

245
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.039
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna come back sometime this year, right, but boy,

246
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 2>he's had just a run of those concussions in the

247
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:17.000
<v Speaker 2>last couple of years.

248
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 3>It's amazing how more quarterbacks don't have those situations. Oh,

249
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 3>did you see the game last night?

250
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Pretty much?

251
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Did you see when he was sacked he was Rodgers. Yeah,

252
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 3>and they got him a pedalty, gave him a pedal,

253
00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 3>They got a penalty for roughing the power Yeah, yeah,

254
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 3>did you see that?

255
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:30.879
<v Speaker 2>You know what?

256
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.080
<v Speaker 3>So so uh akean since that was not a roughing

257
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:36.159
<v Speaker 3>the pastor. I didn't think it was, but I don't

258
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 3>play quarterback. And then he I guess letter said, uh

259
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.519
<v Speaker 3>Rogers said it wasn't the roughing the passer because it

260
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>was a it was a hit and then you know,

261
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 3>drive down to put him down. But it wasn't. It

262
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.639
<v Speaker 3>was back ten years ago you're thinking, Okay, he sacked him. Yeah,

263
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 3>but now it's like, don't touch him.

264
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean yeah, that's kind of been the name

265
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 2>of the game is to protect the quarterback at all levels. Yeah,

266
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, especially going for the legs. But yeah, the

267
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>head is not good and just defining roughing sometimes in

268
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 2>front all is hard to do since almost every play

269
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 2>is pretty rough in Mike BA and.

270
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.600
<v Speaker 3>It's it's bang bang. You know, it's just bang bang.

271
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.159
<v Speaker 3>You know, what are you gonna call off your ref?

272
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Rogers was pretty wobbly there for a few plays.

273
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:21.919
<v Speaker 2>It reminded me of that Michigan quarterback a number of

274
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 2>years ago who got knocked around in one of the games.

275
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 2>They kept him in, you know for a player too,

276
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and I was like obvious that he was pretty groggy.

277
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember who that was, remember, Brady.

278
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Hoke, I believe was. He got criticized heavily for why

279
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 2>is he still out there? They need to watch that.

280
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 3>M Okay, we're gonna take a break here in about

281
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.399
<v Speaker 3>a minute and see what Mike says, would get a

282
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.320

284
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.480

<v Speaker 3>What hasn't gone on yet?

414
00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Right?

415
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 16>Oh?

416
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.440
<v Speaker 6>See to me, I've had a blast. This is the

417
00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 6>I've said this, I wrote about this, and I've said

418
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:57.039
<v Speaker 6>it publicly on multiple occasions. This is the college football

419
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:01.720
<v Speaker 6>season I've waited for my entire life. And I will

420
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.160
<v Speaker 6>say that it's not a short period of time, because

421
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.599
<v Speaker 6>I remember I wrote about this. My first college football

422
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 6>game that I remember being conscious of what I was

423
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.359
<v Speaker 6>seeing was in nineteen sixty eight. I grew up in

424
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.480
<v Speaker 6>an Irish Catholic family, so they were all Notre Dame

425
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.400
<v Speaker 6>fans and kind of roped me in when I was younger,

426
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.559
<v Speaker 6>and we went to my grandfather's house to watch Notre

427
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.720
<v Speaker 6>Dame play Purdue in a September game, and Mike Phipps

428
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:31.119
<v Speaker 6>and Leroy Keys were the produced stars and Terry Hanratty.

429
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.720
<v Speaker 8>Was the Notre Dame star quarterback. And I remember that

430
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:35.200
<v Speaker 8>very well.

431
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:38.039
<v Speaker 6>So that's how long I've been waiting for this, for

432
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:44.200
<v Speaker 6>an actual season where games matter, where it's not about votes,

433
00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.839
<v Speaker 6>where you win your conference and you're going to be

434
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.960
<v Speaker 6>playing for a championship instead of going twenty sixteen. I

435
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.400
<v Speaker 6>think it was I went down to when I lived

436
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.240
<v Speaker 6>in Indianapolis. I went down to Lucas Oil Stadium cover

437
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.720
<v Speaker 6>a really interesting game between Penn State and Wisconsin, and

438
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.440
<v Speaker 6>which even though Penn State became a Big Ten champion,

439
00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:06.279
<v Speaker 6>they weren't going to playoff because they'd lost a couple

440
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.920
<v Speaker 6>of games. Now if they if they win it, they're

441
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:12.519
<v Speaker 6>going to be in That's that old way of doing

442
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.839
<v Speaker 6>things was never good for the sport, and we finally

443
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:16.519
<v Speaker 6>got rid of it.

444
00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Mike. This last weekend, too, was just just insane. Here

445
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.559
<v Speaker 2>on the West games we're starting at nine o'clock and ending,

446
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:25.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, past midnight. I mean, it was one after

447
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.039
<v Speaker 2>another overtime games. Have you ever seen a weekend like

448
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 2>that or a Saturday like that?

449
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 8>Oh that you know that I don't. I haven't, and

450
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:34.519
<v Speaker 8>I'll tell you why.

451
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.039
<v Speaker 6>Even I'm sure there have been times when there were

452
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 6>really a lot of fun games. But I mean I

453
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.920
<v Speaker 6>went to in the afternoon, I went to see pitt

454
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:47.240
<v Speaker 6>play California. I've moved to Pittsburgh in the last six months,

455
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.920
<v Speaker 6>and so I went to. I knew we were going

456
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.160
<v Speaker 6>to have good weather and I thought it would be

457
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 6>an interesting game, So I went to that in person.

458
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.880
<v Speaker 6>On the way home, we were listening to Penn State's

459
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:02.279
<v Speaker 6>overtime game against sc When we got back, we watched

460
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:05.799
<v Speaker 6>the Ohio State Oregon game and that and and how

461
00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.799
<v Speaker 6>that went down to the final seconds and all those games.

462
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.200
<v Speaker 6>The reason it was different is because all those games matter.

463
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:15.400
<v Speaker 6>If pitt wanted to stay alive for a spot in

464
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.160
<v Speaker 6>the ACC Championship, then they needed to win that game

465
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:21.039
<v Speaker 6>and it was it came down to a field goal

466
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 6>with the minute and a half left that that cow missed.

467
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 6>And the Penn State game, same thing. They they need

468
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.359
<v Speaker 6>that game to be sure that they're gonna have a chance.

469
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:30.400
<v Speaker 8>They can't.

470
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.519
<v Speaker 6>They can lose to Ohio State, yeah, but they probably

471
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:35.839
<v Speaker 6>can't lose to both Ohio State and Southern.

472
00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:36.680
<v Speaker 8>Cal and feel good about it.

473
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.119
<v Speaker 6>So got to win that game and they did and

474
00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.759
<v Speaker 6>Ohio State yeah, okay, So we moved We removed a

475
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 6>little bit of consequence from that game because one of

476
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:50.440
<v Speaker 6>them will be will be positioned to be the leader

477
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 6>for the Big Ten Championship, but the other will probably

478
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:54.839
<v Speaker 6>have a great chance at the that large. But what

479
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.640
<v Speaker 6>if Ohio State loses to Penn State, So dog on it.

480
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:01.359
<v Speaker 6>It did have consequence. So I think that even though

481
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.759
<v Speaker 6>there may have been days where there were a lot

482
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.119
<v Speaker 6>of really good games. There was never a day in

483
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.640
<v Speaker 6>college football history where there were so many consequential games.

484
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:11.640
<v Speaker 3>And then we have another week. But let me go

485
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.160
<v Speaker 3>to a situation that happened just a few months ago.

486
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.559
<v Speaker 3>You obviously covered the national scope of college football. So

487
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 3>the work goes to Alabama, the Dominos fall Fish, goes

488
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:27.319
<v Speaker 3>to Washington, and then Brennan comes to Arizona, and now

489
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.200
<v Speaker 3>six games in whatever game's in, all three are in

490
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:31.720
<v Speaker 3>the hot seat.

491
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, no one.

492
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:40.920
<v Speaker 6>One of the things that has to be recalibrated in

493
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:45.440
<v Speaker 6>college sports is the amount of time it takes to

494
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:50.880
<v Speaker 6>go on a hot seat has to change. And because

495
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 6>what can go wrong is accelerated now because of the

496
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.920
<v Speaker 6>transfer portal. You can lose some players who weren't anticipating.

497
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 6>You can have a couple of injuries, and all of

498
00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:05.119
<v Speaker 6>a sudden, because there aren't as many gimmes now as

499
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:07.720
<v Speaker 6>there used to be, you're in deeper, stronger conferences. You're

500
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:09.960
<v Speaker 6>gonna take a few more losses maybe than you might

501
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.960
<v Speaker 6>have otherwise if you aren't situated right.

502
00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.440
<v Speaker 8>But that can also be repaired quickly.

503
00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:21.279
<v Speaker 6>The baseline is, is this person a really capable coach.

504
00:22:21.279 --> 00:22:23.000
<v Speaker 8>So we heard this about Florida.

505
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:25.799
<v Speaker 6>State when their season began zero to three, and there

506
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.960
<v Speaker 6>was some quaking about him being on the hot seat,

507
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:30.680
<v Speaker 6>and I'm like, wait a second, didn't he just win

508
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.000
<v Speaker 6>every regular season game less than twelve months ago.

509
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:37.880
<v Speaker 8>Let's relax a little bit. Is this person a really

510
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:39.079
<v Speaker 8>capable coach?

511
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 6>And certainly you thought that eight nine months ago when

512
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:46.160
<v Speaker 6>you hired this person, So you can't decide now that

513
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:49.400
<v Speaker 6>that person is not. You have to give them a

514
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.039
<v Speaker 6>couple of seasons to figure out, well, can they really

515
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 6>do it? I mean, you look at Kaitlin de Boor

516
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:58.359
<v Speaker 6>at Alabama. Yeah, they're having some problems and all of that,

517
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.319
<v Speaker 6>but they lost a ton of talent off of last

518
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:05.720
<v Speaker 6>year's team and he's been there for nine months. The

519
00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 6>guys won everywhere he's been. You can't give up on

520
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:09.359
<v Speaker 6>him now.

521
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:11.359
<v Speaker 8>I think I.

522
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.119
<v Speaker 6>Believed that you needed to recalibrate before we saw the

523
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 6>impact of the transfer portal, and it just from the

524
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:20.720
<v Speaker 6>idea that teams would take more losses because of deeper conferences.

525
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.920
<v Speaker 6>But now it really has changed the math on every

526
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:28.119
<v Speaker 6>element of college football, and fans are going to have

527
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.119
<v Speaker 6>to understand you're going to have a rough year now

528
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:33.559
<v Speaker 6>in there, it's a little bit like being in the NFL.

529
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 6>It's still not quite the same, but it's a little

530
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:39.039
<v Speaker 6>bit like being in the NFL. It's not going to

531
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:42.079
<v Speaker 6>be as easy to always be near the top.

532
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at what happened to some of the

533
00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 2>former Pac twelve teams just this past weekend at home,

534
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.720
<v Speaker 2>with USC losing, but UCLA losing. I mean, all of

535
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:52.839
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, they're in the Big ten and the competition

536
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:55.039
<v Speaker 2>is maybe a little bit more difficult, don't you think.

537
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.839
<v Speaker 8>Oh, I think that's a factor without a doubt. When

538
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 8>when USC was in.

539
00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.759
<v Speaker 6>The big the Pac twelve, there were years when Oregon

540
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 6>was special. Stanford had a few years when they had

541
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.079
<v Speaker 6>Christian McCaffrey where they were very very good. Washington obviously,

542
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:16.279
<v Speaker 6>the last couple of years under Deboor they were quite good,

543
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:20.839
<v Speaker 6>but there weren't usually there weren't usually more than two

544
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:24.319
<v Speaker 6>of those teams in the Big ten. Right now, you're

545
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:30.039
<v Speaker 6>looking at Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, SC is dangerous,

546
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.559
<v Speaker 6>Michigan is dangerous, Indiana might be really good, Illinois is

547
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:38.039
<v Speaker 6>not easy to play, Nebraska is playing pretty well, and

548
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 6>even Rutgers in Maryland have had moments this year when

549
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:43.480
<v Speaker 6>they've been capable of beating a lot of teams. So

550
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:47.960
<v Speaker 6>it's just a harder ride now for those teams for

551
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.319
<v Speaker 6>the major conferences. That's true in all four of the

552
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:54.680
<v Speaker 6>remaining major conferences. It's going to be a harder ride

553
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:58.160
<v Speaker 6>than it was before. And it's tougher on coaches, it's

554
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 6>tougher on players, and yeah, I'm sorry, but it's gonna

555
00:25:01.039 --> 00:25:02.200
<v Speaker 6>be cover on fans too.

556
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, along those lines, those fans with deep pockets. I'm

557
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 3>not sure how you feel about the nil will talk

558
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.480
<v Speaker 3>to that real quick, but I'm not sure where in

559
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:13.720
<v Speaker 3>the world people get paid in advance to do a job.

560
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 3>And I'm not saying that this is part of the

561
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.359
<v Speaker 3>problem for the quarterbacks or wide receivers who are getting

562
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.400
<v Speaker 3>money and then don't live up to the money they're getting.

563
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:24.319
<v Speaker 8>Well, but I mean that's really true if you think

564
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:24.839
<v Speaker 8>about it.

565
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.240
<v Speaker 6>In any contractual situation, Uh, you you sign a contract

566
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.240
<v Speaker 6>in advance and are promised X amount of dollars for

567
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 6>your for your performance, whether that performance is poor or not. Now,

568
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 6>there may be there may be some stipulations in the

569
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:45.759
<v Speaker 6>contract where poor performance, uh doesn't you know isn't uh,

570
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 6>isn't rewarded.

571
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.480
<v Speaker 8>You can get the the.

572
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 6>The payer might be able to get out of the

573
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.960
<v Speaker 6>contract if there's underperformance, But for the most part, you're

574
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:55.960
<v Speaker 6>gonna like if you get a if you hire a coach,

575
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:01.160
<v Speaker 6>you're paying coach Jones in advance, so to speak, to

576
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.319
<v Speaker 6>try to go nine and three, and he may go

577
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 6>three and nine, but you're still paying for nine and three.

578
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 6>So I don't think it's that much different in that sense.

579
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 6>As long as the player continues to provide the service,

580
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:19.799
<v Speaker 6>then sometimes they're going to turn out.

581
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.039
<v Speaker 8>To be not great. But that's the risk any athletic

582
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:23.920
<v Speaker 8>endeavor takes.

583
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:28.079
<v Speaker 6>When you are paying the performer, whether it's the NBA

584
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:31.400
<v Speaker 6>or now college football, you're taking the risk that that

585
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:33.759
<v Speaker 6>player may not live up to the contract that he

586
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:34.640
<v Speaker 6>or she signs.

587
00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.559
<v Speaker 3>Right right, right, let's stay local here with Tucson. What

588
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:40.039
<v Speaker 3>have you seen from Arizona? Do you know Brent Brennan

589
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 3>at all? And if you do, can he write this ship?

590
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.200
<v Speaker 8>I don't know him, no, but.

591
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 6>I think that when Arizona, I think you have to

592
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 6>be cognizant of the fact that when Arizona hired him,

593
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:01.039
<v Speaker 6>they looked at a lot of different factors. They believed

594
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.599
<v Speaker 6>in him at the time, and Okay, so they're starting

595
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.039
<v Speaker 6>out there three and three. They haven't had a great run.

596
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:10.640
<v Speaker 6>It's not what they wanted. You know, he had a

597
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:14.759
<v Speaker 6>nice run. He wasn't overwhelming at San Jose State.

598
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 8>He had a nice run.

599
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 6>So you know, is there greatness available to him? I

600
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 6>think the one thing I'll say is that of all

601
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.920
<v Speaker 6>the major leagues, it's the one that offers the greatest

602
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 6>opportunity because I think that there's a belief that the

603
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 6>football played in the Big Twelve is significant. But there

604
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.160
<v Speaker 6>aren't any teams in the league that you say, man,

605
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.759
<v Speaker 6>we can get everything right and they're still Texas or

606
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:44.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, if Texas gets everything right, you got no shot.

607
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.559
<v Speaker 6>Or if Ohio State gets everything right, you got no shot.

608
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 6>But there's nobody in the.

609
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.160
<v Speaker 8>Big Twelve that if you get everything right in in.

610
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 6>Arizona or a Cincinnati or Kansas State, there's nobody in

611
00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:57.319
<v Speaker 6>the Big Twelve you can't catch. Yeah, And I think

612
00:27:57.359 --> 00:28:00.160
<v Speaker 6>that's what I think that's the best element of being

613
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.359
<v Speaker 6>in this league for all the members. They all have

614
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.640
<v Speaker 6>to believe that if they execute right, they get the

615
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:08.279
<v Speaker 6>right players in they coach them right, They make sure

616
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 6>they're following the rules, et cetera, that they have a

617
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.720
<v Speaker 6>shot to be to be special and to be rewarded

618
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:14.519
<v Speaker 6>at the end of the year.

619
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.839
<v Speaker 2>One thing we've noticed too in the Big Twelve is

620
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:21.119
<v Speaker 2>these stadiums are packed. I mean, there's fan support all

621
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>across the country for these schools, and I think Arizona, well,

622
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:28.400
<v Speaker 2>they've had their years. You know, there's never been that

623
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.960
<v Speaker 2>type of support here. How do you think they'll compete,

624
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:34.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, just in that in that subject matter, it's

625
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:35.759
<v Speaker 2>I think I think some.

626
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.359
<v Speaker 6>Of it's going to take a little get of us,

627
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 6>little getting used to. I mean, I can't I just

628
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:43.880
<v Speaker 6>moved from Indiana six months ago, and they have not

629
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.759
<v Speaker 6>had fans support because they've never had successful football, or

630
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:50.799
<v Speaker 6>they've rare I shouldn't say never, they've rarely had successful football,

631
00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.839
<v Speaker 6>so they're not conditioned to it, as is the case

632
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.920
<v Speaker 6>at Arizona. They're conditioned to go to a couple of

633
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:01.559
<v Speaker 6>games and then start getting ready for basketball. But now

634
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:04.319
<v Speaker 6>they're really good. They hired the right coach, they've had

635
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:06.640
<v Speaker 6>a great run to this point. They have a really

636
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.079
<v Speaker 6>significant game on Saturday against Nebraska. If they win that

637
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.880
<v Speaker 6>they legitimately have a chance to get into the playoff.

638
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 8>Not saying they will, but they have a legitimate chance.

639
00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.720
<v Speaker 6>So they're wired up, they're sold out for Saturday.

640
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:21.039
<v Speaker 8>They're really excited about it.

641
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 6>Arizona finds themselves in that situation, I think the response

642
00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:27.640
<v Speaker 6>will be the same. They need to have a run

643
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 6>of sustained success to get into that mentality. And I

644
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:34.039
<v Speaker 6>think that it would have been nice for them if

645
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 6>they didn't lose their coach on the eve of the move, because.

646
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.200
<v Speaker 8>They're moving into a league, like I said, where.

647
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.200
<v Speaker 6>They don't have an Oregon, they don't have an SC

648
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:49.519
<v Speaker 6>or even a Washington, where those schools all have built

649
00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 6>in advantages football wise over Arizona, whereas I don't think

650
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.200
<v Speaker 6>there's anybody in the conference really that has a built

651
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 6>in advantage over everybody. They all, I think everybody's had

652
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 6>good times and bad times, and they all have to

653
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 6>feel like they have a shot to succeed.

654
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:08.640
<v Speaker 8>And I think that's certainly true for the Wildcats.

655
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:10.200
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk basketball.

656
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:13.200
<v Speaker 3>When the last question, Mike, I didn't realize you had

657
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:15.680
<v Speaker 3>left Cincinnati parbatly a while back and you were Indiana

658
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 3>and Pittsburgh, so I was gonna ask you Big twelve Country,

659
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.480
<v Speaker 3>somewhere you lived for a while, and now basketball is

660
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.920
<v Speaker 3>going to be the king, and I couldn't. You've waited

661
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:26.880
<v Speaker 3>for football for all these years. I waited for basketball

662
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.559
<v Speaker 3>because it's gonna be brutal and it's gonna be fun.

663
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:31.000
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

664
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.279
<v Speaker 6>I still kind of live technically a little bit in

665
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.200
<v Speaker 6>Big twelve Country because West Virginia is an hour down

666
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 6>the road or so, so I still kind of have

667
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 6>my toe in Big twelve Country, and I'll probably get

668
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 6>down to Morgantown a time or two to see some

669
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 6>Big twelve games this year.

670
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 8>I think that it's really an exciting time.

671
00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:54.240
<v Speaker 6>You've got a loaded league with Iowa State is terrific,

672
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:58.640
<v Speaker 6>Kansas is outstanding, obviously the Wildcats. I think you're looking

673
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:03.319
<v Speaker 6>at three to four Top twelve ish teams there. I

674
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:05.680
<v Speaker 6>think Kansas State is a team that I did not

675
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:10.880
<v Speaker 6>see ranked highly by either the poll or Ken Palms

676
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.039
<v Speaker 6>rankings the preseason rankings came out the other day. I

677
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:16.519
<v Speaker 6>think Kansas State has a chance. It's going to be

678
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:19.559
<v Speaker 6>really hard to get to the bucket against them. With

679
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:23.559
<v Speaker 6>Coleman Hawkins standing there, They've got a twin towers type setup.

680
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 6>It's going to be really hard to get to the

681
00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:27.519
<v Speaker 6>bucket against them. So I think there are gonna be

682
00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:28.960
<v Speaker 6>a lot of really good teams.

683
00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:30.079
<v Speaker 8>In the league. I know a lot of people are

684
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.960
<v Speaker 8>excited about Cincinnati speaking of them. They built a really nice,

685
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:34.720
<v Speaker 8>deep team.

686
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.279
<v Speaker 6>So the competition in the Big Twelve is going to

687
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 6>be extraordinary in basketball.

688
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 8>I think it's going to be great in the SEC.

689
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:44.359
<v Speaker 6>I think the Big Ten is fascinating, the Big Big

690
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:47.880
<v Speaker 6>East is still quite good. I think it's going to

691
00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.319
<v Speaker 6>be a phenomenal year in college basketball and in twenty

692
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:53.720
<v Speaker 6>twenty four to twenty five. And the exciting thing for

693
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:59.240
<v Speaker 6>me as all this doom talk about conference realignment and

694
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 6>what's happening future. If the settlement for the House case

695
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:05.880
<v Speaker 6>is signed off on and it's coming, it looks like

696
00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:10.359
<v Speaker 6>it's going to happen. They basically guarantees that the tournament

697
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:11.440
<v Speaker 6>will have to exist for.

698
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:12.160
<v Speaker 8>The next decade.

699
00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:16.079
<v Speaker 6>Because everybody that they've roped into the settlement, all the

700
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 6>mid major and low major conferences that they said, yeah,

701
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:21.599
<v Speaker 6>you're gonna have to pay too, it's all tied to

702
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.559
<v Speaker 6>NCAA tournament revenue. So there has to be a tournament

703
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.720
<v Speaker 6>for there to be tournament revenue, and hopefully they won't

704
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.160
<v Speaker 6>grow it too much. I think we'll see growth, but

705
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't think we'll see a massive expansion so.

706
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:37.920
<v Speaker 8>That they wreck the March madness.

707
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:41.400
<v Speaker 6>I think seventy two we could probably live with anything

708
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:43.599
<v Speaker 6>more than that. And you're bloating it, and you're gonna

709
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:47.240
<v Speaker 6>risk the possibility of diminishing its popularity.

710
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:47.799
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

711
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:50.559
<v Speaker 3>Well, Mike, we appreciate your time. As always, I appreciate you.

712

00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:02.039
<v Speaker 3>Jay for dinner there the other last week.

804
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we used to go to movies. We had family

805
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 2>live out there, and so it was kind of like

806
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:07.440
<v Speaker 2>we're we're gonna go to breakfast, We're gonna launch. Man,

807
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:09.519
<v Speaker 2>what's kind of the go to place? Right, movies can't

808
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:13.199
<v Speaker 2>go wrong there, right, right? Have you got a call?

809
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:14.119
<v Speaker 2>Who's on the air?

810
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.039
<v Speaker 4>I see it's Jim.

811
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Jim.

812
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, but yesterday we couldn't get you couldn't hear you.

813
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:24.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there was a lot of commotion around the calls.

814
00:37:24.239 --> 00:37:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I guess yes, what you saw.

815
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:33.920
<v Speaker 4>I want to address the football program again. One thing

816
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:40.880
<v Speaker 4>that's been I think overlooked in this whole transcendence from

817
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:48.239
<v Speaker 4>last year to this year is is jet Fish. Jetfish

818
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:54.559
<v Speaker 4>is an expert as anybody going when it comes to

819
00:37:54.679 --> 00:38:00.159
<v Speaker 4>designing offenses handling quarterbacks. And he has ten years of

820
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:03.559
<v Speaker 4>NFL experience doing just that.

821
00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:05.840
<v Speaker 2>And so.

822
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 4>Jetfish designed an offense and pass plays and running plays,

823
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:20.880
<v Speaker 4>the whole offense around not one diminutive quarterback but two.

824
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:28.599
<v Speaker 4>Uh DeLaura was only about five ten or so.

825
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:32.920
<v Speaker 3>So I'm sorry, I'll say right, go ahead, I have

826
00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:35.000
<v Speaker 3>points I want to throw at you.

827
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:45.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So those guys, in the last six quarters I

828
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:50.079
<v Speaker 4>counted six quarters and one plus minutes, we've had four

829
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:56.199
<v Speaker 4>turnovers that were directly related to the trajectory of the

830
00:38:56.239 --> 00:39:00.360
<v Speaker 4>ball from Noah Fafita's hand to a defense in two

831
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.079
<v Speaker 4>players and that we're intercepted or off to the top

832
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:13.199
<v Speaker 4>of somebody's helmet. That's four turnovers in six quarters of play. Now,

833
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.480
<v Speaker 4>do does all that mean that that Nolah Flathia can't

834
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:19.480
<v Speaker 4>compete at this level? I don't think so. I think

835
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:24.119
<v Speaker 4>he can, but I think that the offense needs to

836
00:39:24.119 --> 00:39:25.880
<v Speaker 4>be fine tuned.

837
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:32.039
<v Speaker 3>To hiscity, no question, no question, And I think they

838
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:32.599
<v Speaker 3>did find that.

839
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that process is complete.

840
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.199
<v Speaker 3>No, I totally agree with you. I don't know about

841
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.840
<v Speaker 3>the Jetfish commentary. I'm not sure people in Washington would

842
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:43.400
<v Speaker 3>agree with you right now because he's taking a lot

843
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:46.639
<v Speaker 3>of flats. They're not sure if he's the right guy.

844
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

845
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:49.639
<v Speaker 3>They scored ten points I think against Iowa. You know

846
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 3>they're going.

847
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:52.480
<v Speaker 4>Through the process. We are.

848
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, well that's the whole thing. I don't know

849
00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:56.840
<v Speaker 3>if you heard my my, uh my interview with of

850
00:39:56.840 --> 00:40:00.840
<v Speaker 3>course he Davis and Davison, my, uh, Alabama's going through issues,

851
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Washington's going through issues, and you know it's it's just

852
00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.199
<v Speaker 3>kind of the dominoes are not going well for the

853
00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:11.519
<v Speaker 3>three programs that that the board the kind of set

854
00:40:11.599 --> 00:40:12.119
<v Speaker 3>the stage for.

855
00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.280
<v Speaker 4>If I was anywhere near to that coaching staff and

856
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:20.119
<v Speaker 4>had the opportunity, I would call Jeed Fish and ask,

857
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:22.719
<v Speaker 4>can I Jet what can we.

858
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Do for this kid?

859
00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:28.400
<v Speaker 2>It's a good idea.

860
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna call my my, uh my guy's ex husband,

861
00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 3>my girl's ex husband to to see how can I

862
00:40:35.199 --> 00:40:36.039
<v Speaker 3>handle this woman.

863
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you know, as coaches they're looking at the

864
00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:41.719
<v Speaker 2>video from last year and seeing what worked. And you

865
00:40:41.719 --> 00:40:44.599
<v Speaker 2>know it wasn't. One of his comments yesterday coaches comments

866
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.920
<v Speaker 2>was you know, protecting Noah and that means, you know,

867
00:40:47.960 --> 00:40:50.679
<v Speaker 2>maybe not getting him to back up so far on

868
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:55.199
<v Speaker 2>some of the plays that take forever to materialize, and

869
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:57.559
<v Speaker 2>that maybe wasn't happening before. So you're right some of

870
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.199
<v Speaker 2>the play design. You know, we're not coaches, we don't

871
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.599
<v Speaker 2>really know exactly, but we're watching. We can see it. Yeah,

872
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I like, wait a second, why is it? Why is

873
00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:07.679
<v Speaker 2>he's not you know, in sync with his receivers like

874
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:09.679
<v Speaker 2>he had last year? Jim, Jim, real quick.

875
00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:14.599
<v Speaker 4>I understand physics and math well enough to see and

876
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:18.679
<v Speaker 4>I watched closely these last few weeks how many passes

877
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:26.800
<v Speaker 4>that have the trajectory, the direction, and the speed of

878
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:31.880
<v Speaker 4>the throw have been adjusted to try to get the

879
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:33.760
<v Speaker 4>ball to a receiver.

880
00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're now, We make it real quick, Jim, because

881
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:38.000
<v Speaker 3>we have some more calls coup winning.

882
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 4>All right, Well that's what I have to say and

883
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 4>ask him what can we do for this kid that

884
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:47.639
<v Speaker 4>we're not doing.

885
00:41:47.800 --> 00:41:50.719
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't disagree with your assessment because I've seen it,

886
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:52.760
<v Speaker 3>and I saw it right away, and people who know

887
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:55.800
<v Speaker 3>football said the same thing. Those balls and the releases

888
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:57.880
<v Speaker 3>have come differently than last year.

889
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:01.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly, watching very closely.

890
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Jim, Thanks him. We've got to go. Well appreciate. Okay,

891
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:06.639
<v Speaker 3>we get another call. You're on the air and eye

892
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:07.039
<v Speaker 3>on the ball.

893
00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:11.000
<v Speaker 5>Hey you guys, this is Gabriel. How are you? Guys?

894
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.719
<v Speaker 3>Are Gabriel? Are we gonna get the cranky Gabriel?

895
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:18.480
<v Speaker 5>Uh No, because I'm just getting over a bloody cole.

896
00:42:18.719 --> 00:42:22.280
<v Speaker 5>Don't know. You're not going to get the hissed off rattlesnake,

897
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:26.679
<v Speaker 5>that is me. So can we talk about the loss

898
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:27.480
<v Speaker 5>on Saturday?

899
00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

900
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And I'm surprised that you're not upset about that.

901
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:35.639
<v Speaker 5>Well, I don't know. I'm just kind of basically speechless.

902
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:39.760
<v Speaker 5>Hope they get a win this coming Saturday. But I

903
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 5>think in regards to in the offseason, bred Brendan needs

904
00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:49.119
<v Speaker 5>to get a modern day offensive coordinator and a quarterbacks coach.

905
00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:55.039
<v Speaker 5>He cannot do what he did in the in the

906
00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:01.559
<v Speaker 5>winter basically hire hire everyone and anyone and to basically

907
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:05.960
<v Speaker 5>put up a stout out of sand there because like

908
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:09.719
<v Speaker 5>like that's not gonna work, and it's not working right

909
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:10.880
<v Speaker 5>now as we speak.

910
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:12.519
<v Speaker 3>No, you're you're right.

911
00:43:12.599 --> 00:43:16.039
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I'm just being brutally honest.

912
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:16.880
<v Speaker 2>No, you're right.

913
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:19.039
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's a lot of criticism to go around, right.

914
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:21.920
<v Speaker 3>My mine is David. I don't know if you agree

915
00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:25.280
<v Speaker 3>with me, just his approach and we all who are

916
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:27.800
<v Speaker 3>you know some I am who I am? You are

917
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:31.119
<v Speaker 3>who you are? Mild mannered or whatever, and he's mild mattered.

918
00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:33.480
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't look like he gets firy. Maybe he does

919
00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:37.480
<v Speaker 3>behind the scenes, but it's hard to get some emotion.

920
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:39.719
<v Speaker 3>And this is football, right, And you know you don't

921
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:42.280
<v Speaker 3>want you don't want stoops, you don't want rich Rod,

922
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:45.559
<v Speaker 3>you want a stables guy like this, But you also

923
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:47.000
<v Speaker 3>want somebody that you're gonna fight for.

924
00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I mean Jedfish was want not crazy on

925
00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:54.559
<v Speaker 2>the sidelines. There's somewhat similar and their demeanor and you

926
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:56.480
<v Speaker 2>don't we don't know kind of how things are behind

927
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:59.239
<v Speaker 2>the scenes, and as far as the coaches go, you know,

928
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:02.199
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of what happens when coaches changes happen, When

929
00:44:02.239 --> 00:44:06.360
<v Speaker 2>coaching changes happen, that you have to keep some of

930
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.159
<v Speaker 2>the people who are here and bring some of your

931
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:12.119
<v Speaker 2>buddies along and look to fill your your lineup of coaches.

932
00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:15.039
<v Speaker 2>It's it's not easy, I'm sure. And there was such

933
00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:18.079
<v Speaker 2>a snowball effect this passed off season with all these

934
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:21.239
<v Speaker 2>coaches basically leaving in the same week. It seemed like

935
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 2>a number of colleges were in the same boat. Yeah,

936
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:26.159
<v Speaker 2>what was your other points?

937
00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:30.760
<v Speaker 5>No, that was one point. I mean jet Fish could

938
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.119
<v Speaker 5>easily stayed here and then you would easily get to

939
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:39.679
<v Speaker 5>Florida job. But now people are really angry at him

940
00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:41.880
<v Speaker 5>at Washington. Wow?

941
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Whatever?

942
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:49.280
<v Speaker 5>Have have that? A hoss? One if?

943
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:49.599
<v Speaker 2>If?

944
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so there are three and three six games left?

945
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:56.320
<v Speaker 3>What what would be okay to finish with? What would

946
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:57.719
<v Speaker 3>be uh not?

947
00:44:57.840 --> 00:45:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

948
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:03.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't even know, to be honest with you, I'm

949
00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:07.679
<v Speaker 5>just basically speechless. I mean, last year we went on

950
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:12.360
<v Speaker 5>a winning streak. They seemed to get the whole offense

951
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:14.920
<v Speaker 5>and rhythm.

952
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, good luck, all is well. Easier said than done, right,

953
00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:20.360
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see what happens.

954
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:22.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, And Jed is you know, making news. He's

955
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:26.280
<v Speaker 2>upset about the nil situation, comparing Washington to Oregon.

956
00:45:26.599 --> 00:45:28.679
<v Speaker 5>Oh, come on, that's a load of bet.

957
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what.

958
00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:34.679
<v Speaker 5>You say, more money compared to Arizona. That's a that's

959
00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:36.079
<v Speaker 5>a load of sugar, honey.

960
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I see well, I mean that game, that Ohio State

961
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Oregon game was billed as the twenty million dollars team Nils.

962
00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, you can thank Uncle Phil up

963
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:49.920
<v Speaker 2>there in Oregon for helping out the Ducks program big

964
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:52.559
<v Speaker 2>time in Oregon State. I mean, Ohio State just has

965
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:53.719
<v Speaker 2>so much money to begin with.

966
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:56.840
<v Speaker 3>So Gabe, you're gonna have to deep deepen those pockets

967
00:45:56.840 --> 00:45:59.880
<v Speaker 3>of years and start sending some cash.

968
00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:03.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, come hell high water, I'll certainly will.

969
00:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Great. Thanks Gabe is always for calling in.

970
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:11.400
<v Speaker 5>Beardown Arizona, go cast. Let's keep calling on.

971
00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:14.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, great, thanks Gape. Let's keep Hey.

972
00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:15.199
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna ask you.

973
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:17.599
<v Speaker 3>I brought that up briefly yesterday with the twenty million

974
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:20.639
<v Speaker 3>dollar game and Jeed talking about that. So now we're

975
00:46:20.880 --> 00:46:25.119
<v Speaker 3>now we're buying championships, not that they weren't buying them before, uh,

976
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:28.039
<v Speaker 3>but this is very apparent now. And and look, Arizona

977
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:31.800
<v Speaker 3>is Arizona, and you you worked for them in raising money,

978
00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:34.119
<v Speaker 3>but it's always going to be Arizona. It's not. It's

979
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:37.760
<v Speaker 3>not the top tier. Maybe in basketball to some degree,

980
00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:40.840
<v Speaker 3>it is football. Though, how are you going to convince

981
00:46:41.360 --> 00:46:44.320
<v Speaker 3>donors or boosters or whomever you go after the money

982
00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:47.280
<v Speaker 3>to say everything's gonna be okay if you give X

983
00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:50.480
<v Speaker 3>amount of money? When when you're not gonna be the

984
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Ohio States or the Oregons or the Washington what's that

985
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:58.039
<v Speaker 3>fine line that that that the touching point?

986
00:46:58.079 --> 00:46:59.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I mean, even as Mike was saying

987
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:01.679
<v Speaker 2>when we talked and Mike de Corsi, is that the

988
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Big twelve is different than the PAC twelve was and

989
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:07.599
<v Speaker 2>the Big ten and SEC are now that Arizona's in

990
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.760
<v Speaker 2>this conference that you know, maybe a little even there's

991
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:12.679
<v Speaker 2>it's it's not gonna be a big It's not going

992
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.440
<v Speaker 2>to be an Oregon or Washington or Stanford or you know,

993
00:47:15.559 --> 00:47:18.639
<v Speaker 2>USC to deal with, right, and we're Arizona's just gonna

994
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:20.760
<v Speaker 2>have to deal with others. Well, school's kind of at

995
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:21.280
<v Speaker 2>this level.

996
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:23.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you agree with with me and

997
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Jay now, and sorry Nico, I brought Jay's name up,

998
00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:29.480
<v Speaker 3>but we thought, and maybe it's just the first year

999
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:32.280
<v Speaker 3>honeymoon blah blah blah, but we thought that Arizona moving

1000
00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:35.079
<v Speaker 3>into the Big twelve would be much better given that

1001
00:47:35.159 --> 00:47:38.599
<v Speaker 3>the playing field becomes better, you know, cause they might

1002
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.480
<v Speaker 3>have a chance, a better chance to win the whin

1003
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:42.960
<v Speaker 3>the when the conference rather than the Pac twelve because

1004
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.199
<v Speaker 3>they had you as C Washington Oregon in front of them.

1005
00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Now they don't, they don't. And in basketball, look, Arizona's

1006
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:49.039
<v Speaker 3>gonna be fantastic.

1007
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but boy oh boy, look at the conference.

1008
00:47:51.519 --> 00:47:52.840
<v Speaker 3>I know, and that's where I want to go with.

1009
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna be very good. But yeah, but.

1010
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:58.239
<v Speaker 3>Everybody else is too. It's gonna got a last call here. Hello,

<v Speaker 3>thanks for calling.

1014
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:09.920
<v Speaker 16>They have been listening a couple of things. One, you know,

1015
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:13.280
<v Speaker 16>the college talking about jet fish and what Jeff came

1016
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:16.599
<v Speaker 16>on here. He had to build a team from nothing.

1017
00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:19.760
<v Speaker 16>He started from zero. We're patient at the first year

1018
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.159
<v Speaker 16>one win. The second year was it four or five wins?

1019
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:26.039
<v Speaker 16>So you saw it progressed and you're patient with him.

1020
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:28.559
<v Speaker 16>Were so you take a holders and we're fine with that. So, hey,

1021
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:32.840
<v Speaker 16>the guys starting from zero. U Ben just started from zero.

1022
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:37.639
<v Speaker 16>Bafita was a winning quarterback last year. Was he not. Yes,

1023
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:40.639
<v Speaker 16>the man didn't win. Okay, he went ten and three

1024
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.760
<v Speaker 16>last year, and some people might say a win is

1025
00:48:44.800 --> 00:48:49.239
<v Speaker 16>a win, but he loss isn't a loss. To two

1026
00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.400
<v Speaker 16>of our losses last year where what double overtime? You

1027
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:57.119
<v Speaker 16>think USC was triple overtime? I lost to Washington was

1028
00:48:57.199 --> 00:48:59.400
<v Speaker 16>by seven points and they were in the national championship.

1029
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:05.760
<v Speaker 16>Our loss against UH Texas Tech, that's that's a bad loss. Yeah,

1030
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:09.760
<v Speaker 16>I mean in Kansas State that was a bad loss

1031
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:12.760
<v Speaker 16>by use a don good football team, that's still a

1032
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.119
<v Speaker 16>bad loss. You lost by twenty two. So losing by

1033
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:19.360
<v Speaker 16>twenty two and losing in double overtime, that's you know,

1034
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:24.039
<v Speaker 16>you you know the players and your fans that you

1035
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:26.119
<v Speaker 16>want support from the fans. Well, you can't get beat

1036
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.760
<v Speaker 16>by twenty two. You can't just kind of state. You

1037
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:31.679
<v Speaker 16>can't lose the Texas Tech. Right, you can't squeak by

1038
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:33.599
<v Speaker 16>any of you. You know, you can't do that if

1039
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:35.400
<v Speaker 16>you want fans to show up and support you, if

1040
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:37.280
<v Speaker 16>you're if you want your donors support you.

1041
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:40.639
<v Speaker 3>You're right, You're right. It's not it's not how they're

1042
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.480
<v Speaker 3>it's how they're losing their drugs. Casser that drugs concern.

1043
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:47.199
<v Speaker 2>Now I was.

1044
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:50.760
<v Speaker 16>I thought that with the returning players that they had,

1045
00:49:50.840 --> 00:49:54.639
<v Speaker 16>and I read the coaching lineup, and I was happy

1046
00:49:54.679 --> 00:49:57.599
<v Speaker 16>with what I thought coaching staff. I was hoping tending

1047
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:00.559
<v Speaker 16>to it the very worst nine in three. Now we're

1048
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:03.880
<v Speaker 16>at three and three. If we can go six and two, No,

1049
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:08.800
<v Speaker 16>our toughest games are behind US Kansas State Dark good team.

1050
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:11.679
<v Speaker 16>Uh Utah, those are two toughest on the schedule. B

1051
00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:15.199
<v Speaker 16>y U undefeated and losing by YU on the road

1052
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:18.199
<v Speaker 16>isn't all that bad. It's actually it's holly loss. If

1053
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:19.800
<v Speaker 16>he could be four and to right now, I'd be

1054
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:23.880
<v Speaker 16>happy as heck. Yeah, you know, maybe if you could

1055
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:28.519
<v Speaker 16>finish the next six games, if you could go four

1056
00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:32.920
<v Speaker 16>and two, if you know you can pull out eight

1057
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:35.679
<v Speaker 16>maybe nine wins. Now we're just you know, I want

1058
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:37.880
<v Speaker 16>to go back to the old Wildcats. You're happy with

1059
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:41.519
<v Speaker 16>six or seven wins and leak into a small ball.

1060
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think seven, four and two, four and two

1061
00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:46.159
<v Speaker 3>the rest of the way is kind of nice. It's

1062
00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:48.159
<v Speaker 3>kind of nice to go seven and five for the

1063
00:50:48.239 --> 00:50:51.199
<v Speaker 3>year within the CHASA, get eight wins total. Uh, but

1064
00:50:51.519 --> 00:50:55.159
<v Speaker 3>where do you find those wins? Because it's been difficult.

1065
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:58.599
<v Speaker 16>Well, I mean I think our toughest schedule hopefully is

1066
00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:01.400
<v Speaker 16>behind us. If they can, if the coaches get this,

1067
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:04.239
<v Speaker 16>you know, make their adjustments they need to make, get

1068
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:08.000
<v Speaker 16>the you know, players playing like today against Utah, there's

1069
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:11.480
<v Speaker 16>no I mean, it's don't you think our three toughest

1070
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:12.360
<v Speaker 16>points are behind Oh?

1071
00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:15.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, without question? The first the last three games have

1072
00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:15.760
<v Speaker 3>been we got.

1073
00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Two more home games coming up, back to back, and

1074
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:20.280
<v Speaker 2>then you go, you see, no one knows, and then

1075
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Houston's not very good at home in Tucson and then

1076
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:25.800
<v Speaker 2>go to TCU and have a issue at home. So

1077
00:51:26.199 --> 00:51:29.039
<v Speaker 2>it's a promising schedule for sure. Yeah.

1078
00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:31.039
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, if we can, you know, if they can, if

1079
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:32.920
<v Speaker 16>the coaching staff has got to step up now they

1080
00:51:33.199 --> 00:51:36.239
<v Speaker 16>they've got to go foreur and too, and uh you know,

1081
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:38.960
<v Speaker 16>end up with seven and five, and that'd.

1082
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Be you know, I think that's okay, that's okay.

1083
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:43.880
<v Speaker 16>It's okay, Yeah, it's okay.
