Speaker 1: Did you play for Colorado this weekend?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Good, good good? Yeah good?
Speaker 3: Good for them, right and not so much for Arizona.
Speaker 3: How much This is a dumb question, but I would ask,
Speaker 3: I would ask, I guess coaches, how much of a
Speaker 3: difference does he think?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: He's got, you know, six games, forty nine catches, six touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He's their best defensive.
Speaker 4: Player as well, so you know he's he's their their
Speaker 4: glue on both sides of the ball. The quote from
Speaker 4: Dion today was Travis should play for certain I think
Speaker 4: I think that makes sense that should play.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: It's like a Yogi berra no one, no one goes
Speaker 1: there anymore to pack.
Speaker 4: So we'll see if Travis is on the field. But
Speaker 4: he's he's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Well, the one that's the one, uh, the one of
Speaker 3: the prime sons takeing a lot of heat?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: Is it shadow to the dB because he didn't have
Speaker 3: a very good game and his dad called him out
Speaker 3: on it. When when I saw the headline that the
Speaker 3: prime goes after his son for a poor performance, I'm
Speaker 3: thinking the quarterback he didn't have a good game either
Speaker 3: last week, And I'm thinking, oh, really, he didn't know
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 4: The other one, well, Shiloh was quoted here saying he
Speaker 4: had the worst game of his life.
Speaker 3: Okay, so maybe it's accurate. Then he may be positively
Speaker 3: kind of had a bad game. According to play.
Speaker 4: Well, Kansas State. We saw Kansas State, so I mean
Speaker 4: the great good.
Speaker 3: They had the chuse to win that no, Kansas State
Speaker 3: against Coloradio. Yeah, yeh yeah, that was a very good game.
Speaker 3: You you thirty one twenty eight you talked to. Of course, last.
Speaker 1: Weekend's games were a lot of fun to watch.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that was I have to say I
Speaker 4: was home alone and I had the TV going. I
Speaker 4: think I may have had this the three screen thing
Speaker 4: going at one point with the TV and the iPad
Speaker 4: and the laptop. Yeah, so it was yeah, you know
Speaker 4: in the night taseball. You know, there's a lot of
Speaker 4: that kinds.
Speaker 1: Of Yeah, this is the I saw that took cities.
Speaker 1: Who's playing that? You can use this as breaking news? Yankees? Yankees?
Speaker 1: What's ends?
Speaker 4: What's right after We're done? Thirty eighty eight?
Speaker 1: So that was so over my.
Speaker 3: This is the great time of year because you get
Speaker 3: playoff baseball, you have college football, you have pro football,
Speaker 3: A lot of things let me throw this to both
Speaker 3: of you. Then, Uh, the greatest time of the year
Speaker 3: for sports is.
Speaker 1: Now now now because of this, April is good.
Speaker 3: Right, well, March is March is my favorite time. So
Speaker 3: you know, you have the start of the tournament, start
Speaker 3: of the tournament.
Speaker 4: Start of the tournament, and then rolls right into the
Speaker 4: playoffs for everything for hockey.
Speaker 3: And that in the playoffs, and then you have baseball
Speaker 3: starts starts to baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's his month.
Speaker 4: This month is great too because because hockey's in and
Speaker 4: all the overlap, basketball will be starting, like what next week?
Speaker 3: Next basketball? And it starts like in two days I
Speaker 3: think Friday, maybe, I think. So okay, look at that, mum,
Speaker 3: I think so today's well preseason. Let's see.
Speaker 1: You can get that later. What else do you have
Speaker 1: like that?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dodgers had a visitor in there in there doug
Speaker 5: out yesterday.
Speaker 1: Who was it was it for? It was? It was
Speaker 1: a snake. Snake? I saw that snake. I hate snakes.
Speaker 4: How does a snake get in Dodger Stadium? Is that
Speaker 4: a fan brings one?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. There's not much out.
Speaker 3: There, but they noticed it in the fifth right, How
Speaker 3: do you not notice it before? Where did it come
Speaker 3: from the sewer line or something? Yeah, I guess that's
Speaker 3: a huge fear of mine because you see some of
Speaker 3: those things on posts. Where did it come from the
Speaker 3: toilet one? How did that happen?
Speaker 4: I have no idea. That's that's scary. That is what else.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 4: We've seen black cats, You see the squirrel occasionally. Yeah, hilarious.
Speaker 4: The raccoons right well behive tho. Yeah, that stopped the
Speaker 4: game this year somewhere year. I think I know what
Speaker 4: happened at least once or twice a chase fields.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your biggest fear? Like with a lot of
Speaker 1: those lines lived the desert, then I know, have a lina.
Speaker 4: Maybe we've had had really yeah, right to the front door.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but you don't you must have had a
Speaker 1: punkin out there or flowers or yeah.
Speaker 4: We have one night where there was about six of them.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah the front door. That's everybody's got that.
Speaker 4: They just don't get outside because they're vicious. Yeah, if
Speaker 4: they smell you or whatever, but they're blind as bats.
Speaker 1: They can't see you.
Speaker 4: So yeah, we had like we have like the ring doorbell.
Speaker 4: So one night it went off like what's out there?
Speaker 4: You know when you look at it and there are seriously,
Speaker 4: there was a whole group of them. Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 4: a Tucson story that everybody can tell.
Speaker 1: My garbage is always tipped over.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: I've seen those pictures of bobcats, but I have not
Speaker 4: seen one, and I live kind of in the desert.
Speaker 3: Coyotes cotes, Yeah, skinny little thing, right, what about what
Speaker 3: about you stakes to be just killed?
Speaker 5: Probably likes oh that I've seen.
Speaker 1: I've had those in the backyard too, or like wolf
Speaker 1: wolf spiders, well a kind of spiders. Yeah yeah. Mice, yeah, mice. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Season opens October twenty seconds. That's that's an couple of
Speaker 4: a week next week. Nickson Celtics Lakers tea Wolves.
Speaker 3: Okay, anybody heard that news break that we had earlier
Speaker 3: that was like from nineteen sixty sixth so don't pay
Speaker 3: attentions to I don't know how that got it. Yeah, really,
Speaker 3: Maze had a big day.
Speaker 1: That was that, all right?
Speaker 5: Bill's they upgraded at the wide receiver position. They got
Speaker 5: a trade for a Mari Cooper.
Speaker 3: That's going to be a good thing for them because
Speaker 3: they they looked Okay, last night. But they're always like that,
Speaker 3: one player or two away from doing really well, especially
Speaker 3: for their fantastic quarterback. I think it's fantastic Allen. He
Speaker 3: can run, you can pass, you can't dribble and shoot,
Speaker 3: but you don't even quarterback. I didn't realize that Mari's thirty.
Speaker 3: It's been around now for a while. Sixty two career touchdowns.
Speaker 3: That seems like a lot. Yeah, we'll spend more with Dallas, right,
Speaker 3: Dallas or Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 5: Jets also upgrade to the wide receiver. Wanta Adams is
Speaker 5: going to reunite with Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: What Rogers wants, Rogers gets, We'll see what happens. Last night,
Speaker 3: he had a difficult time for moments. He had that
Speaker 3: hell Mary that scored at the at the half. That
Speaker 3: was contravery. I really caught.
Speaker 4: I thought so, I thought so, I thought so, that's tough.
Speaker 4: But yeah, why not. Yeah, it's kind of known for that.
Speaker 4: He's had a handful of those. We had one against
Speaker 4: the Cardinals playoffs.
Speaker 3: It's just funny because you don't see any other quarterback
Speaker 3: wins or raise roll his eyes or whatever do his
Speaker 3: facial expersions when something bad happens. But it involves him,
Speaker 3: but doesn't really evolve him, you know, like.
Speaker 1: Oh, he dropped the oh you not worth a crap.
Speaker 3: Because then he talks about it at the end at
Speaker 3: the end game, Oh we suck. Yeah, which is good
Speaker 3: for a reporter because you know you're telling the truth whatever.
Speaker 1: But god, he's in the pain. You know. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you've been with a co worker or two you think,
Speaker 1: shut up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's He's got a lot of things he talks about.
Speaker 4: The people don't always agree with r not always about sports,
Speaker 4: that's true. So he's kind of made a name for
Speaker 4: himself in that regard.
Speaker 1: So the letters to Dave not to me.
Speaker 5: Yep, owners approved Tom Brady's bid to buy minority stake
Speaker 5: of the Raiders.
Speaker 4: Tom Brady, and then they said that he's going to
Speaker 4: help select their quarterbacks. That's what Mark Davis, the owner
Speaker 4: owner says. So Tom's going to be involved in that too,
Speaker 4: besides his thirty million dollar a year broadcasting gig.
Speaker 3: Hor else you want to spend money and lose it,
Speaker 3: go to Vegas, baby, better than the Raiders.
Speaker 1: The Raiders.
Speaker 3: The Raiders haven't been There's a funny thing on Facebook
Speaker 3: or Twitter. They haven't had like they showed a guy
Speaker 3: in a trash can a quarterback. This is the quarterbacks
Speaker 3: for Raiders for since nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just bad. They've had bad ones. It's been
Speaker 1: a rough you know.
Speaker 4: I grew up a Raiders fand jy area between the
Speaker 4: Niners and Raiders is usually one of those teams was
Speaker 4: going to be good, so we kind of gravitated to
Speaker 4: whichever one was good in those years.
Speaker 1: I don't see you being a Raider fan, you don't, Yes, No,
Speaker 1: I was. I mean I was.
Speaker 4: I was part of that generation, you know, when John
Speaker 4: Madden was early in his career there.
Speaker 3: And Marcus Allen isn't coming on those mark the Tom Florest.
Speaker 1: Tom Flores was the coach.
Speaker 4: Maybe, yeah, that's right, because that was like the Super
Speaker 4: Bowl team, which seventies eighty s. It was during the
Speaker 4: it was late late seventies. Yeah, yeah, so we were.
Speaker 4: I was a fan just because I lived in the
Speaker 4: neighborhood in the stable falling down and yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean I was in college on the famous is
Speaker 4: that that the player talking about in San Diego, the
Speaker 4: Holy Roller where he in, which is illegal.
Speaker 1: They made they made the change.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so the other Raiders Chargers game where he just
Speaker 4: like lunged and Pete Banazek rolled it into the end zone.
Speaker 1: I fell on it. Go Raiders. You've had a tough life.
Speaker 1: Have they been good in the last forty years?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they went to the Super Bowl in San Diego.
Speaker 3: I was still married then, so a one hundred years ago.
Speaker 3: That's how you look back at. Yes, I spent the

Speaker 1: Where was that?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, the bloke. I'm thinking Atlanta. No, I don't
Speaker 4: know they've put in that. Yeah it was Atlanta.
Speaker 3: No, not' have been a home field, yeah type of thing,
Speaker 3: but I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Okay. Uh.
Speaker 5: The New York Giants life tackle Andrew Thomas. He has
Speaker 5: a foot injury. He'll be out indefinitely. Okay, Mike Tomlin,
Speaker 5: Steelers head coach, to consider starting Russell Wilson versus the Jets.
Speaker 1: Why over fields? Did they pretty well? Did they beat

Speaker 3: they lost to the Cowboys. Just barely got fine to
Speaker 3: find yesterday or did before for something big?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Tom, I don't know what it was for them. Jerry
Speaker 5: Jones calls out radio hosts during the interview.
Speaker 1: That's what I was talking about. Yeah, you think I'm
Speaker 1: an idiot? No comment. I haven't seen that. I heard.
Speaker 4: It wasn't hard to threaten the coach threaten the radio
Speaker 4: guys with their jobs?
Speaker 1: No did he?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: No, I say it was very Davey.
Speaker 3: We've been in this business for a long time, probably
Speaker 3: too long to even say, but you know, it's like
Speaker 3: Lute saying, Dave, Dave, I have something to talk to
Speaker 3: you about.
Speaker 1: I'll see you in my office. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that ever happened.
Speaker 3: Maybe it did, or a time or two he did
Speaker 3: it with me and and and the media blows it up.
Speaker 1: Loot once media in his office.
Speaker 3: And then you took a click and he says, I
Speaker 3: was upset with one of your stories the end. I mean,
Speaker 3: come on, that's how this was. It was just a question.
Speaker 3: He didn't like the question. He responded, you can, I'm
Speaker 3: an idiot. And that was it. That was it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was a sound bite. Why does
Speaker 1: he even have a show?
Speaker 3: It was something because that's who he is. That's he's
Speaker 3: part of the problem, if not the problem.
Speaker 4: He gets testing. That's what that's how yeh, that's that's
Speaker 4: exactly what it was. It was a testy, big deal.
Speaker 4: He makes billions, He'll give it. He lost by thirty
Speaker 4: eight at home, right.
Speaker 1: It was guess what else? That day? It was his birthday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: happy birthday. I got you. I got you ten points,
Speaker 1: and he appeared.
Speaker 4: To threaten the jobs of hosts Shan Sheriff and rjh Oh,
Speaker 4: this might be different during the course of the interview.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, so this might be different than No One.
Speaker 4: He's on his eighty second birthday, lost to Detroit forty
Speaker 4: seven and nine.
Speaker 3: Well you saw this, you saw this one maybe two
Speaker 3: or three years ago, David. And like I said, you
Speaker 3: in the business. A team in Baltimore, A guy in
Speaker 3: Baltimore didn't even really criticize the team. They haven't been
Speaker 3: scoring runs. You remember this maybe three years ago. They
Speaker 3: haven't been a scoring runs like they used to. And
Speaker 3: it was a simple fact. He was looking at facts
Speaker 3: on a on a score sheet or whatever, and they
Speaker 3: suspended him, like for ten days. You got to be positive.
Speaker 4: What you're you're not scoring like you used to the ends,
Speaker 4: that's the truth.
Speaker 1: Yes, what do you want to do? Say?
Speaker 3: It's the way the world is. You didn't say it, right,
Speaker 3: what the hell? You guys still like scoring? You were
Speaker 3: out scoring runs? These owners little defensive, Yes, very much.

Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, you're talking about people. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, David Cosgrove is fantastic. Yeah yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 3: probably didn't listen to my boy, right, No, they're They're fantastic.
Speaker 3: His problem is they have a hard time in the
Speaker 3: playoffs and they're not having a they're not having the
Speaker 3: tournament here this year in Tucson maybe, and that's maybe
Speaker 3: for the best less pressure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're number number nine ranked right now at ten
Speaker 5: and two. Yeah, No, they're good. That's all I got
Speaker 5: for you.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, Dave, because I brought up
Speaker 3: the loot thing and I'm not sure if that ever
Speaker 3: happened with you, guess, but did you get called on
Speaker 3: the carpet for anything and you were in the business
Speaker 3: pron time, like you know, Dave, got a call from somebody,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, and then and then they sided with
Speaker 3: the people, even though you did your job, do you.
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Yes, it did happen, but it happened like one time.
Speaker 4: I didn't do it myself, but people who worked for
Speaker 4: me did. And I think the coach didn't know exactly,
Speaker 4: so he just called me. And on Sunday morning, I
Speaker 4: think I remember, we were painting of all things, you know,
Speaker 4: in the house, and I'm like, who was calling me
Speaker 4: on a Sunday And it was him and it was
Speaker 4: about something again that I didn't do, and it was
Speaker 4: really I kind of got blown out of proportion.
Speaker 1: I thought most things are.
Speaker 4: So it was quick and brief, but I remembered it.
Speaker 4: I mean it was because it was really the only
Speaker 4: time at least he did. And you know, I don't
Speaker 4: know how your relationship was with him, but with you know,
Speaker 4: he was fine with me. We had a good relationship,
Speaker 4: and I mean I never really had a problem. And
Speaker 4: we were not ones to go out there and create
Speaker 4: controversy anyway, which.
Speaker 1: Was kind of surprising, like why is he calling this?
Speaker 1: What do we do?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: So we had to do some investigation and you know,
Speaker 4: kind of figure out what we did wrong that it
Speaker 4: made him so upset.
Speaker 1: Right, And it was pretty much nothing.
Speaker 4: It was us doing our job that way, you know.
Speaker 4: And sometimes coaches don't understand that. I think, I think
Speaker 4: at this level of market, they feel and maybe change
Speaker 4: a little that they feel that you should.
Speaker 3: Be raw, raw rather than it adver serious. Right, Okay,
Speaker 3: but it doesn't work out that way. Now if you're
Speaker 3: halfway decent at your job, you know again, okay, hey, hey,

Speaker 4: saw you play, and I mean you had a gun
Speaker 4: for an arm when when your freshman year. I guess
Speaker 4: it was I remember your your parents were there. It
Speaker 4: was just it was just a great celebration, not only
Speaker 4: to see you play, but to watch how your family
Speaker 4: reacted to you.
Speaker 1: It was it was really cool. I have to admit,
Speaker 1: thank you for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, hey, so what are you up to these days?
Speaker 3: We'll get that out of the way and then talk
Speaker 3: a little about football.
Speaker 2: Just out here living in San Diego, just working. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I worked for a water decoudation company, trying to water
Speaker 2: drinking water. And yeah, I live out here and I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: I can't.
Speaker 2: Can't complain about the weather too often here.
Speaker 3: No, No, well, in Tucson, we're it's still dealing with
Speaker 3: one hundred degree wather. It it's October, which is kind
Speaker 3: of unfair, but hey, that's that's It's what it is.
Speaker 3: So do you still follow the program pretty closely?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt. I try to. I try to
Speaker 2: watch as many games as I can. I got a
Speaker 2: lot of buddies here in San Diego that went to
Speaker 2: U of A too, you know, so we try to
Speaker 2: try to get together watch games as much as we can.
Speaker 3: For sure, And are you going to be part of
Speaker 3: the big group that's coming back this weekend.
Speaker 2: I actually can't make it this weekend. I got work
Speaker 2: and I got some family stuff, so I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: be able to make it this weekend. But I'm gonna
Speaker 2: try to make it, I think for that Houston game
Speaker 2: on a Friday and November. I think I'm gonna try
Speaker 2: to make it up for.
Speaker 3: That one, Okay, okay, and then maybe lastly for this Uh,
Speaker 3: We're gonna make it back.
Speaker 1: Oh. How do you look back on your time here
Speaker 1: as the QB.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was it was crazy, you know I
Speaker 2: first got there, it was pretty much like two first
Speaker 2: or second school class, maybe his first fool class. Remember,
Speaker 2: you know, I had a lot of one win season
Speaker 2: and a three win seasons a couple of years before,
Speaker 2: and we were just you know, trying to come in
Speaker 2: and wanted to be a part of turning the program around.
Speaker 2: Kind of like all these young men are doing the
Speaker 2: same right now, you know. So it's kind of a
Speaker 2: kind of a similar situation in that sense, not a
Speaker 2: tactic with the coaching changes and all that that. I that, uh,
Speaker 2: that these guys had to deal with, but at the
Speaker 2: same time still somewhat the same thing, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was interesting.
Speaker 4: That was that was an interesting time because when when
Speaker 4: did Gronkowski come to you were you is that your
Speaker 4: second or.
Speaker 2: Came in my junior year year, So it.
Speaker 1: Was like playing it was like having that as a weapon.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: Awesome.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think first couple of games to kind
Speaker 2: of take us a while to figure out how to
Speaker 2: use them, because that was when Dykes first got there
Speaker 2: and I done. He wasn't really used to using a
Speaker 2: true tight end, you know, a tech. They had a
Speaker 2: lot of you know, there are more four or five
Speaker 2: wide receivers, you know, in the offense that that he
Speaker 2: inherited was a lot of West Coast style system guys,
Speaker 2: which is what we had under Coach Canalis there. So
Speaker 2: you know, it's just one of those things where it
Speaker 2: took a little while for us to figure it out,
Speaker 2: but once we did, I mean, he was us pretty impressive,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm wondering you kind of think, you know,
Speaker 3: what could have been had he been healthy.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, you know, he was healthy for
Speaker 2: the most part for us. I mean, I know, my
Speaker 2: senior year he missed like the first three games. I
Speaker 2: think he had mono or something. He came back again,
Speaker 2: I think the first game against GCLA, and he had
Speaker 2: two or three touchdowns in that game alone. But I mean,
Speaker 2: he was just I think the thing that made Rob
Speaker 2: so great is that he's a true tight end. You know,
Speaker 2: he could he could pancake you, but at the same
Speaker 2: time he could run by you, you know, and not
Speaker 2: not too many guys that that have that combo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he's been Obviously he's going to go down
Speaker 4: as maybe one of the top two or three tight
Speaker 4: ends of all time. I mean, this is a guy
Speaker 4: that was here and everybody kind of knew his credentials
Speaker 4: coming in. I think we weren't surprised to see it.
Speaker 4: But I don't think Arizona ever seen a tight end
Speaker 4: like that, and has never seen one really since then.
Speaker 1: That's interesting how it all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if it's you know, how how
Speaker 2: easy it is to replicate a guy like that, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean he was just he was so damn good
Speaker 2: and he was fun to be around. He was a
Speaker 2: great teammate. You know, he would go have his fun,
Speaker 2: but at the same time, when it was time for
Speaker 2: football or meetings or whatever it was. He was always
Speaker 2: in the building. So you were that.
Speaker 3: You you're you went through a lot of things that
Speaker 3: are going through now with the with the chewetama right
Speaker 3: and other things you have any I don't know, Uh,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you can give him suggestions or whatever.
Speaker 3: He's coming back here in a in a few weeks.
Speaker 3: Just your thoughts on what you went through. Yeah, I'm sorry. Concussions,
Speaker 3: you know, the concussions of anything. Suggestions smiling, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think I think him and I kind of honestly have
Speaker 2: a simmlementality.
Speaker 1: And he's been beat up.
Speaker 2: You know, and he uh, he's not ready to hang
Speaker 2: it up. And I get it, you know. I remember
Speaker 2: I think I had my third one my sophomore year,
Speaker 2: and you know, you have people. I don't know if
Speaker 2: this is for you, and you know, if you should
Speaker 2: keep playing. At the same time, you know, when you.
Speaker 1: Grow up and that's what you do.
Speaker 2: You've done it's all, you know, and that's your passion,
Speaker 2: you know, that's your drive, and that's why you get
Speaker 2: up every day to keep keep working, is to go
Speaker 2: out there and compete, you know, and uh, you know
Speaker 2: It's easy to sit there and say someone should do
Speaker 2: this or that, but at the same time that person
Speaker 2: has to live with it, and if they can't live
Speaker 2: with themselves not playing, I totally understand.
Speaker 3: It, right knowing this, like you said, this is what
Speaker 3: you do when you guys are competitors.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm. I mean that's just that's the way that
Speaker 2: you know, when you're going through all this and call
Speaker 2: it and everything else. You know, you you're you go
Speaker 2: out there every day you compete, you know, whether it's
Speaker 2: your own teammates in the weight room or at practice,
Speaker 2: and then you go out there and you know you
Speaker 2: got one day to do it against someone.
Speaker 1: Else, you know.
Speaker 2: So that's what it's all about. And you know, to
Speaker 2: take that away from someone that stuff to do.
Speaker 1: With, right, what's it? I mean, what is it like
Speaker 1: to recover?
Speaker 4: Don't they say like the second one and the third
Speaker 4: ones are like ten times worse than that first one.
Speaker 4: Is that kind of how you were explained?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's so hard too, because I mean
Speaker 2: back when I had mine, you know, that was two
Speaker 2: thousand and six, you know, so there wasn't really a
Speaker 2: lot knowing about it. It was kind of still more
Speaker 2: fresh more, brand new. But I mean the thing that's
Speaker 2: stuff is you can't really you know, it's not like
Speaker 2: they could scan your brain and really like tell you
Speaker 2: oh okay, like you know, you need this amount of
Speaker 2: time to recover. It doesn't work like that. So you
Speaker 2: just need time. And you know, it's one of those
Speaker 2: things where your symptoms two days could be back, you know,
Speaker 2: but still your head's not right and you do take
Speaker 2: another hit, you know, it might be the same concussion
Speaker 2: that gets kind of reaggravated or you know, whatever that
Speaker 2: case may be, because the first one didn't fully heal.
Speaker 2: But it's kind of also hard to to monitor that
Speaker 2: and you know, really know when it's okay and when
Speaker 2: it's not right.
Speaker 3: Right, let's get to this year's team. I'm sure you
Speaker 3: follow Fafita a lot. What and I had George mala
Speaker 3: Hulu on last week last week talking about the pressures
Speaker 3: of being a quarterback and a UA quarterback. How was
Speaker 3: it a lot of pressure for you?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, thousands descent. I mean especially for him as well, right,
Speaker 2: he's you know, I did the same thing where I
Speaker 2: played at a young age. You know, he's you know,
Speaker 2: nineteen years older, you know, whatever, it is, and he
Speaker 2: gets handed the reins and has so much success, you know,
Speaker 2: and then you know the fact that they you know,
Speaker 2: I think it speaks to the culture of the team.
Speaker 2: How they all you know, stayed. I mean, that's so
Speaker 2: uncommon nowadays in the game, you know, with the transfer
Speaker 2: portal and just how things have been working lately. For
Speaker 2: a coach to leave and for you know, most of
Speaker 2: your teams to stay, that's that's that's a testament to
Speaker 2: them as players. And you know, they they feel like
Speaker 2: they have a family there, and that's that's awesome to see.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean there's there's always pressures, you know,
Speaker 2: no matter what, and I think he deals with them
Speaker 2: just finding very well spoken, he keeps it. It's cool
Speaker 2: his composure and I'm definitely rooming for him every single week.
Speaker 4: It's got to be helpful too for him to have
Speaker 4: you know, a few of his high school buddies still,
Speaker 4: you know with him here. They're a little small family,
Speaker 4: you know, so that's going to be kind of nice.
Speaker 4: That doesn't really happen too often in college for ball,
Speaker 4: where guys are really coming from everywhere.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean that's you know, I mean, that's
Speaker 2: that's what you want to build as a coach, right,
Speaker 2: you want to build that culture where your your team
Speaker 2: does feel like family because then, you know, guys tend
Speaker 2: to play a little harder for each other. So the
Speaker 2: fact that they did that without any coaches, you know,
Speaker 2: it's pretty impressive to me.
Speaker 3: So did you often think or maybe a time or
Speaker 3: two you were born about sixteen years truly with the
Speaker 3: nil going on.
Speaker 2: Now, definitely definitely thought about that. You know, It's it's
Speaker 2: wild to see how it's kind of changed the game
Speaker 2: and the landscape of college football and everything. But you know,
Speaker 2: I'm all for these guys getting paid. I'm all for
Speaker 2: you know, everyone making money. I just you know, I
Speaker 2: hope that everyone does make money and not just you know,
Speaker 2: your top dogs. I hope it's spread out right throughout
Speaker 2: the team. And you know, I mean, I know back
Speaker 2: in in my day, you know, when you were a
Speaker 2: walk on it if you didn't pay your own way
Speaker 2: for dinner and like, you couldn't eat with the team,
Speaker 2: you know, And that's just that was the rules of
Speaker 2: the NT double A at the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no question, I thought that was you know, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, he's got factors. They hit the way. They do
Speaker 2: everything that we do right, but they can't eat with
Speaker 2: the team. I mean that. I know it's different now,
Speaker 2: but back then that was. Well, this is just one
Speaker 2: of those things, you know that it didn't make.
Speaker 3: This is the this is the problem I had before.
Speaker 3: These the kids are getting paid, The students were getting paid.
Speaker 3: So really, WILLI is a quarterback, right, he's the center
Speaker 3: centerpiece of this of this team. But then and you're
Speaker 3: making this hypothetically, say one hundred thousand dollars, uh, and
Speaker 3: you're doing really well. The center gets ten thousand, the
Speaker 3: right guard gets ten thousand, the other guy guard gets
Speaker 3: ten thousand, and I'm thinking, if I'm a guard, what
Speaker 3: the hell I'm on the guy who's opening holes for
Speaker 3: this guy and he's making ten times more than me.
Speaker 3: I thought that one might be a problem. I don't
Speaker 3: know if it is. It probably is, But what do
Speaker 3: you think?
Speaker 2: I mean, Yeah, I always thought from the beginning of
Speaker 2: this whole thing that the NCAA should have put a
Speaker 2: cap on it, you know, on how much a single
Speaker 2: player could earn, because you know, it's just it's a
Speaker 2: recruiting advantage as well for some of these schools that
Speaker 2: have a lot more money.
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, you know it's I.
Speaker 2: Mean, it's really starting to play a difference.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I think in some of the recruits and the way
Speaker 2: that you know, they're being taught at a young age,
Speaker 2: like still get your money and get it now, and
Speaker 2: you know it's I got it. I think I think
Speaker 2: if they would have put a cap on it from
Speaker 2: the beginning, it would have made things a little bit
Speaker 2: more fair in the sense of that landscape. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, it also it is what it is,
Speaker 2: and you know, everyone has to adjust to it.
Speaker 1: Right, did you ahead?
Speaker 4: You know, I was going to say, We've been talking
Speaker 4: about this really kind of all day that that game
Speaker 4: last this past weekend with Ohio State and Oregon and
Speaker 4: the combined nil of like forty million dollars.
Speaker 1: Between the two schools.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just insane, and that you know, there's
Speaker 4: others that are right up there with them, with the
Speaker 4: us c's of the world, and you know some of
Speaker 4: these Michigan has been like that Alabama. It really is
Speaker 4: an arms race, and it used to be an arms
Speaker 4: race for facilities.
Speaker 1: Now it's just for getting players.
Speaker 2: It seems like, yeah, and I mean, I think the
Speaker 2: hardest thing now is that as a coach, you know,
Speaker 2: now not only do you have to go on the
Speaker 2: road and recruit, but after the season you have to
Speaker 2: recruit your right and that's a whole different thing as well.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how the coaches do it.
Speaker 4: You know, even basketball, you know what the shuffle of
Speaker 4: players from the off season to the next season is.
Speaker 4: It's amazing. It's just like chess pieces moving on the board.
Speaker 4: Who who's going to be here, who's staying?
Speaker 2: You know, that kind of thing, right, yeah, And I
Speaker 2: mean it's just you know, it's becoming one of those
Speaker 2: things where you know, I think you've also seen a
Speaker 2: lot of coaches, you know, some of the older heads
Speaker 2: who have you know, have done so well and the
Speaker 2: totally and I don't think it's just it's not their style.
Speaker 2: It's different, you know, and you're getting a lot of
Speaker 2: people who understand it and they know how to work
Speaker 2: it and you know, don't have success within it. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, you know, you look at like
Speaker 2: in Florida State, just because you could get all these
Speaker 2: guys in, it doesn't mean you're going to have a
Speaker 2: good team.
Speaker 3: So right, no question about that. Because of the transfer portal,
Speaker 3: You came in, you stayed. Was there ever a chance
Speaker 3: that you would have left at any point because now
Speaker 3: it's you know, the coach pisses you off, Hey, I'm out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's hard to say. I mean,
Speaker 2: if there was any time that potentially could have happened,
Speaker 2: it would have been after my sophomore year when Canalis
Speaker 2: ended up getting fired, before Dyke came in, just because
Speaker 2: I didn't know Dyke, you know, yeah, and who knows
Speaker 2: if he was going to come in and you know,
Speaker 2: bring his own guy or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 2: You know. So that's a lot of things that I
Speaker 2: think some of these kids deal with. And you know,
Speaker 2: this guy recruited me. I came to the school because
Speaker 2: of this person to run this style offense or whatever
Speaker 2: it may be, and then all of a sudden that changes.
Speaker 2: But I think everyone's different too. I think in my case,
Speaker 2: the position was mine to lose already, So for me
Speaker 2: to just leave, that's that's pretty tough as well, you know,
Speaker 2: when it's my job, believe, and I'm you know, number
Speaker 2: two or number three, So that would definitely have something
Speaker 2: to play with it too. But I don't honest even
Speaker 2: if I wanted to, I don't even I don't think
Speaker 2: my parents would have let me. It's just not the
Speaker 2: way that that was.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you're exactly right.
Speaker 3: A lot of people say that with the way they
Speaker 3: were brought up has a lot to do with you know,
Speaker 3: how you are and who you are.
Speaker 1: And I still say this.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, people ask me because I've covered
Speaker 3: teams a long time, this is what makes the difference
Speaker 3: between a good kid and I'm not so good kid.
Speaker 3: And the first thing I say, dave their parents their
Speaker 3: parents for sure.
Speaker 4: And I mean, like I said earlier, when when we
Speaker 4: first started talking, I do remember your folks being there,
Speaker 4: and that's that was neat.
Speaker 1: It was you know, they cared.
Speaker 4: It was they cared, and it was it had to
Speaker 4: make you feel good too to know you had that support.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure. I mean I just I've always
Speaker 2: I've always had that support. I'm super grateful for that
Speaker 2: and just growing up in a Samoan household, just doing
Speaker 2: the love of family, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Hey, speaking of which, how what do you think of
Speaker 4: how Brent Brennan presents himself? And obviously the Samoan players
Speaker 4: have had an impact on how he even looks on
Speaker 4: the sidelines.
Speaker 1: What are your feelings about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. I mean it's it's a great
Speaker 2: sign of respect for the people that are giving him
Speaker 2: those ways, you know, and you know, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2: But I also I understand it. You know, I'm sure
Speaker 2: some people don't, right, and some people could stay however
Speaker 2: they feel that. I think it's very cool with him
Speaker 2: to honor the people that have made those for him,
Speaker 2: and to honor the culture as well.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: Will you appreciate your time. Thanks for touching base with.
Speaker 2: Us, Yeah, got thanks for having me bear down and
Speaker 2: beat the buck. Huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens this week and should be interesting.
Speaker 3: Appreciate your time. Will he take care?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: All right, guys, take care?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: WILLI Tootama a very good quarterback back in the day.
Speaker 3: It's eighteen years ago, or to believe, seventeen years.
Speaker 4: You know, I was looking at I forgot you know,
Speaker 4: remember I mentioned that he kind of just emerged like
Speaker 4: middle of the season as his freshman year. They took
Speaker 4: him out of his red shirt year. Well, could have
Speaker 4: been like maybe a Richard Kovalcheck.
Speaker 3: Or something like that era. Yeah, see, I could. When
Speaker 3: I was talking to people about how do I get
Speaker 3: ahold of him? I think he played before was Scott
Speaker 3: and he played after that.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, who am I talking about?
Speaker 4: But I knew who it was because then like Nick
Speaker 4: Foles was after him after that. So it was a
Speaker 4: good little run of maybe you know, six seven years.
Speaker 3: Of yeah, quarterback, good quarterback. Yeah, that's probably the quarterback era. Okay, hey,
Speaker 3: let's take a break real quick and come back for
Speaker 3: a final segment. If you're an Arizona man's basketball fan,
Speaker 3: you know it's been successful for nearly forty years. Now

Speaker 3: If you got a call, I want to call guys,
Speaker 3: please do five two zero four one six seventy four forty.
Speaker 1: I would love to hear from you.
Speaker 3: Did you see the play or against Ohio State and
Speaker 3: the the too many men on the field. Uh, because
Speaker 3: I get they said that he did that purposely for
Speaker 3: the clock. I don't know if he acknowledged that, but
Speaker 3: apparently I saw something, and I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: true that the n C Double A is looking into that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: To me, it's kind of a smart play. It's like
Speaker 4: bunting on a no hitter or something. It's part is Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think definitely there's there's like these little people play. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're looking discussing the loophole and they're gonna have some
Speaker 4: kind of really salt about it. They exploited. Uh, here's
Speaker 4: my Ris slap it baby. It's not but I don't
Speaker 4: give a crap.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The funny thing about it, I don't know if it
Speaker 3: was legit that he did this purposely, which of course
Speaker 3: is brilliant. But if he didn't, well, okay, because I
Speaker 3: saw the game and I was watching it, uh live,
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking, you know, that could hurt them because
Speaker 3: that draws him closer to the to the field goal
Speaker 3: right to.
Speaker 1: Tie to win it, I think it was.
Speaker 3: And then it wasted four seconds of course, and then
Speaker 3: the quarterback kind of blunder with timing.
Speaker 4: But yeah, their coach Dan Lanning. You know who's good coach.
Speaker 4: He says this quote is we spend an inordinate amount
Speaker 4: of time on situations, so you know, they they look
Speaker 4: at what's going on and brilliant. It's kit brilliant.
Speaker 1: Aren't you there to win? Dave?
Speaker 4: When you play it, don't you want to win? Of
Speaker 4: course that's a winning move. He'll be coaching Florida next year. Anyways,
Speaker 4: I think maybe maybe, I don't know. Oregon is a
Speaker 4: pretty cool It's a pretty good job. Yeah, especially in
Speaker 4: the big time. I mean it was weird. I was
Speaker 4: again being who I what I do nowadays, and just
Speaker 4: like looking at looking at stuff, looking at Internet things
Speaker 4: like oh big ten matchup USC against U C l
Speaker 4: A and volleyball, and it's just like, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: what are we talking about? So here we are with
Speaker 4: with with those kinds of things, and you know, it's
Speaker 4: going to take a while to get used to it.
Speaker 3: They're talking a lot too. I guess the numbers and
Speaker 3: I don't know what they are, just what I saw
Speaker 3: the travel. Remember we talked about two years ago or
Speaker 3: a year ago when we thought that and I was thinking, Okay,
Speaker 3: everyone who has to go to Rep or two to
Speaker 3: West Virginia. The kids are young, they can handle it.
Speaker 3: But I guess the numbers are showing that it's tough.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some of these two time zone different trips. The
Speaker 4: teams are like one in ten or something, right, I mean,
Speaker 4: look what happened with even Well, how do you explain
Speaker 4: USC and UCLA losing at home to teams that they
Speaker 4: probably should have beaten?
Speaker 1: Right? Well, those vers don't count for that because they're
Speaker 1: the other directions. But I think the West Coast teams,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the West Coast teams are
Speaker 1: just not very good.
Speaker 4: Well, and it's you know, it's weird when you're playing
Speaker 4: a game at ten o'clock in the morning or something.
Speaker 1: You're not used to it.
Speaker 3: Do you know who's the offensive coordinator at UCLA? I
Speaker 3: did not know this. It's probably who you know, right,
Speaker 3: uh So who's the coach?
Speaker 1: The former player?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah that guy? Well?
Speaker 3: Sean Foster, yeah, Eric the enemy Yeah. Yeah, he's found
Speaker 3: a place where you can't score either. Honestly, the offense
Speaker 3: is horrible.
Speaker 4: Hasn't he been like a candidate for head coaching jobs
Speaker 4: in the NFL in the last twenty years. There's probably
Speaker 4: a reason why he didn't get those jobs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just you know, either he didn't interview well or
Speaker 3: just you realize it's not any good because he was
Speaker 3: the hot flavor of the month, right, I wasn't the
Speaker 3: coach of the chiefs coach with anxiety. Right, Well, he
Speaker 3: had the guys that he had, right right then he
Speaker 3: went to Washington that turned that turned into be a disaster,
Speaker 3: and now was at UCLA and that they can't score.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I didn't realize that to I heard that
Speaker 3: this morning. And then you see washington't go to you
Speaker 3: go to I guess they went to Iowa, right, I
Speaker 3: get forty to ten or something like that, and you're
Speaker 3: thinking that should be the opposite. Yeah, Washington should have
Speaker 3: forty in Iowa because they don't score. Scored forty and
Speaker 3: everyone's going through these problems. I mean because I guess
Speaker 3: Jed still call in the place, and Jim called earlier
Speaker 3: that he's a brilliant guy. Okay, maybe, but they're still
Speaker 3: not scoring. They're struggling.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's see some of those big ten matchups, because
Speaker 4: Oregon gets to go to Purdue, so there's a little
Speaker 4: trip for them to go to the Midwest. Here's the
Speaker 4: u c l A Rutgers battle we've been waiting for. Well,
Speaker 4: when's Oregon's next game? Oregon this week? They're playing on
Speaker 4: Friday against Perdue.
Speaker 3: Okay, so now you think, I don't know if you
Speaker 3: believe in this the hangover game.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, sure, happens a lot. They're six and oh
Speaker 4: number two in the country.
Speaker 1: Happens a lot. What are the good ones we have?
Speaker 4: Well, Michigan, Illinois is a pretty good USC going to Maryland.
Speaker 4: So the LA schools have to make these west coast trips.
Speaker 4: This is a ki at one o'clock. That's a one
Speaker 4: o'clock game, so it's not too terrible. But the UCLA
Speaker 4: game is nine am, Arizona time on Saturday. On Saturday,
Speaker 4: I think the Bruins will be awake for that. After
Speaker 4: flying they'll have.
Speaker 1: To be that.
Speaker 3: Well, they haven't been awake with the whole season, so
Speaker 3: why start now. By the way, anybody who once listened
Speaker 3: to our pregame show on Saturday, I'm with David Adams
Speaker 3: and Byron Evans beginning at ten o'clock on this station,
Speaker 3: the eight Team. It's a fun show. I get on
Speaker 3: the guys, they get on me. We really agree. Ryan
Speaker 3: is our guy on the on the mic here on
Speaker 3: the are you having fun with that show?
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. It's fun. It's fun inside the rule.
Speaker 1: We're in this room. Those guys are legends. We get
Speaker 1: into we get into disagreements because.
Speaker 3: Guys, although David Adams is not that much of a row,
Speaker 3: he kind of he says it in the way David
Speaker 3: Adams says it, Uh, you know, from his view, and
Speaker 3: it's very David Adams e. But you know he's speaking
Speaker 3: from the heart. And so Byron. Byron's very very gungo
Speaker 3: on the team. But how can you well, we'll see
Speaker 3: what they say this weekend. And I kind of do
Speaker 3: what I do and kind of and they look at
Speaker 3: me like, you know, shut the hell up right right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the way it goes. I thought that
Speaker 1: I'm still the best running back in Arizona history. Rights.
Speaker 1: He lets us know this every week. He's great. He does.
Speaker 4: He does enjoy talking about I mean, those years were
Speaker 4: really fun. I mean I got here kind of uh.
Speaker 1: A little letter.
Speaker 4: No, I was there thirty four, Oh I covered it. No,
Speaker 4: he was there because the big win against Asu was
Speaker 4: in eighty six.
Speaker 1: When Noble eighty three eighty three.
Speaker 4: So Adams I think may have been maybe an early
Speaker 4: freshman or sophomore, and then he kind of made his
Speaker 4: way through right and Byron came in following Ricky. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean there was a stretch there with we had Arizon,
Speaker 4: I had some amazing linebackers, and obviously Byron had a
Speaker 4: great long career.
Speaker 3: Right long career in the NFL with I think that
Speaker 3: they I think they played against Dian at least the
Speaker 3: Byron against Dion, did you think so maybe well, I'm
Speaker 3: sorry in the NFL, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah about that age.
Speaker 1: But he's about what fifty twish fifty sports.
Speaker 4: I mean, Dian was playing well, remember he was playing
Speaker 4: baseball for the Braves like in the nineties, early nineties, right,
Speaker 4: so he was playing football for the Falcons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Byron was where's still going? I think so
Speaker 3: because a little older than me, I think maybe by
Speaker 3: a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So is Deon's first trip to Tucson. Yeah, this first
Speaker 4: time Arizona's played.
Speaker 1: That would be David.
Speaker 3: The people going into that stadium aren't there to see
Speaker 3: Arizona play football. The packed house is going to go
Speaker 3: see the spectacle or the whatever word you want to
Speaker 3: use of Deon Sanders.
Speaker 1: Oh they would, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: I have no doubt in my mind that this sold
Speaker 3: out because Dion's coming and didn't just color.
Speaker 4: I don't have fans in the state of Arizona.
Speaker 1: You think they'll have.
Speaker 4: Some people probably probably said snow, well, the snowbirds are
Speaker 4: are maybe here, some of them because have you tried
Speaker 4: to get around the city this time of year?
Speaker 2: No? You right? You know?
Speaker 3: Do you know I say this with justin spears. Do
Speaker 3: you know that there's uh? Have you ever seen an
Speaker 3: invisible car?
Speaker 1: No? I see it. Well, let me explain. I see
Speaker 1: them every day.
Speaker 3: You could be at the light turning right, there's nobody
Speaker 3: coming from the left side, and there's a car in
Speaker 3: front of you waiting for the car to come from
Speaker 3: the left side. There's no car coming from the left side.
Speaker 3: You're the second car behind that car. You're saying, what
Speaker 3: the hell are you doing waiting for that car that's
Speaker 3: never coming.
Speaker 1: That's your invisible car. Now that you go no bird driving.
Speaker 3: That's now you'll know for the rest of your life
Speaker 3: that you've seen an invisible car.
Speaker 1: It's that time of year.
Speaker 4: It's home coming too, and that should bring in a
Speaker 4: different crowd as well.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen invisible cars because you're running the
Speaker 1: road every day. You know what I'm saying. People just
Speaker 1: sit there at the light.
Speaker 5: It's like all the other cars are gone in and
Speaker 5: there's there's that invisible car in front of the in
Speaker 5: front of the car in front.
Speaker 4: Of me, right right, like go yeah, please, but that's
Speaker 4: my invisible But you know, again, homecoming, there'll be a
Speaker 4: lot of people. Kind of interesting since it's a one
Speaker 4: o'clock game, so it kind of ye squashes a lot
Speaker 4: of events that were probably planned by all these different colleges.
Speaker 1: But go say hello, it's it's always fun.
Speaker 3: One game. It's seventy five. Well, there's gonna be nice,
Speaker 3: right so right, it's gonna rain a little on Friday,
Speaker 3: cool things down. Yeah, so it'll be nice. So you
Speaker 3: sit in the sands, so you usual all the fans
Speaker 3: in this place. I'm sorry to everybody. Apologize now, you
Speaker 3: know the fans. If it was a think thing of
Speaker 3: distress or whatever, I don't want a good one.
Speaker 1: Do you know that that's that's too sodden?
Speaker 4: Come on, look at I mean again, I think I
Speaker 4: mentioned it somewhere today to somebody. I was talking to
Speaker 4: you about the big, big twelve stadiums and they are passed.
Speaker 1: I mean you watch a game. Look at that game
Speaker 1: at by You the other day.
Speaker 4: No, you talked about it with de course, Yeah, I
Speaker 4: mean the stadiums are filled almost to capacity everywhere, so
Speaker 4: Arizona has some catching up to do.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: The funny thing, do you, I'm sure you noticed on
Speaker 3: TV when they show the student sections and how kind
Speaker 3: of organized they are and the funny.
Speaker 1: Things they do, and you're thinking, how come Arizona can
Speaker 1: I do? Yeah, it didn't.
Speaker 4: By you look like they had the stripe game or
Speaker 4: something that it was all blue.
Speaker 3: I saw that on Twitter because people people were saying,
Speaker 3: see at Arizona, they have a hard time with a white, red, white, red.
Speaker 3: Just make it one color then you won't screw it up.
Speaker 4: I think are they doing. There's a red out coming
Speaker 4: somewhere basketball. I don't know if it's this weekend, it's
Speaker 4: coming coming soon. But yeah, because they tried that red,
Speaker 4: white and blue thing. Didn't work for uh Texas Tech,
Speaker 4: Yeah didn't. I don't know where I wore blue because
Speaker 4: I was told in that section that's what I would
Speaker 4: be wearing.
Speaker 3: Well, good that you listen. Yeah, it just didn't work. Probably,
Speaker 3: Hey you got red on it.
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 4: I know I have I do have a couple. I
Speaker 4: have many different colored shirts. You yeah, ok yeah, some
Speaker 4: good How much time do we have? We got about
Speaker 4: three bits? Okay, some good college I'm just looking around
Speaker 4: for okay, some Big twelve games like this week, like
Speaker 4: we were saying, everything's kind of well, Iowa State six,
Speaker 4: and I well, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I wanted to talk about basketball real quick. That's
Speaker 3: something on Twitter? Uh was it Twitter?
Speaker 1: Basketball?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: No, no football? Okay, it was Twitter college basketball, college football,
Speaker 3: whatever it is. They those kids that do these poles
Speaker 3: or whatever. And Arizona Arizona's uh tenth right now in
Speaker 3: the Powering No tenth, no football in the standings. So
Speaker 3: they have I always state number one, b YU number two.
Speaker 3: I don't know where issue. I just kind of I
Speaker 3: let it go, which just Stubb I should have had it. Uh,
Speaker 3: And there was one of those tenth in the league. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that's that's that's a good trivia question though. How
Speaker 3: many teams are in the Big Twelve. It was sixteen. Well,
Speaker 3: I guess that's not good.
Speaker 4: David's the new math. Okay, with the rest of the conferences,
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know what graphic is it the
Speaker 4: Big ten? There's no more divisions, I want to say.
Speaker 4: And they were showing the standings on the screen. They
Speaker 4: almost couldn't even fit all the teams on the screen
Speaker 4: or so many, so many schools. But yeah, it's pretty
Speaker 4: pretty different. But yeah, ASU five and one, Colorado's four
Speaker 4: and two. Who else is good? B YU six and
Speaker 4: oh so there's the two six and o teams. There
Speaker 4: was on a scene one of them and they get
Speaker 4: Iowa State.
Speaker 1: Later, I think, yeah, it's just crazy.
Speaker 3: I know, basketball, we thought it's going to be crazy,
Speaker 3: or we think it's gonna be crazy. Football has been
Speaker 3: exactly what we didn't think. But it's fun even though
Speaker 3: Arizona's where they're at. But they're at where they're at
Speaker 3: because I saw something with the guys who have you know,
Speaker 3: with the Sheer and Mike Luke. Uh they said they
Speaker 3: said something pushed something that the player's only meeting. I
Speaker 3: don't know if that means they should have one or
Speaker 3: they had one, but if they had one, that's kind
Speaker 3: of or that's kind of six games in little early,
Speaker 3: A little early, Yeah, which is concerning, But I don't
Speaker 3: I'm not opposed to those I don't know about you,
Speaker 3: because you get some stuff ironed out, and if it's
Speaker 3: internal with the guys, it's a good way to solve things.
Speaker 3: You know, uh, get together and that's gonna happened a
Speaker 3: lot when I covered. The coaches would hate you to
Speaker 3: ask them about that because what's the first thing.
Speaker 1: You think there's issues and.
Speaker 4: The players they'll they'll call the meeting and they see that
Speaker 4: there's a problem. It's it's kind of a signaments surety too,
Speaker 4: there's some leadership there that probably you know, that's not
Speaker 4: something one person will do. It's usually Hey, as a group,
Speaker 4: the defense needs to say together, let's go the seniors
Speaker 4: and the basketball, especially if they have any seniors you
Speaker 4: know would do something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the funny thing is their favorites this weekend.
Speaker 1: Who knows what.
Speaker 3: They're gonna play like favorites or underdogs. But I've said
Speaker 3: this all season, and I've been wrong. Last weekend was
Speaker 3: that everyone shows up when you don't expect them to
Speaker 3: and they don't win. You do Last week proved me
Speaker 3: very wrong. We'll see what happens this weekend.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's there's They've got a lot, a
Speaker 4: lot going for them. Home game, homecoming, we'll see.
Speaker 3: Thanks to Dave for coming on in. You can be
Speaker 3: here tomorrow. Sure, Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: Ryan.
