I hate you, David. 39 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.640 So I was gonna ask you, how long were you 40 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.120 out of the business. 41 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:02.519 What do you mean? 42 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:06.439 Oh, I ended in at the end of twenty eleven, 43 00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.879 out about twelve years, and you were in it for 44 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.759 here specifically, So twenty twelve you had to be twenty. 45 00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:14.960 Something twenty nine years? 46 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:15.639 Did you miss it? 47 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:15.759 So? 48 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:17.560 I missed it when I left. 49 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:21.039 I didn't miss the business too much, but I certainly still. 50 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.159 I mean, I'm a big sports fan, so always going 51 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.719 to be. But you're kind of watching and but you can. 52 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.960 You could do that from a distance. Yeah, you didn't 53 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.719 have to worry about deadlines exactly. You don't have to 54 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.199 worry putting crap together. 55 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:32.960 For it to wear makeup for a while. 56 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.319 By the way, you should put it back on. Let 57 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.159 me tell you, tell me the same thing. I should 58 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.560 shave and wash my face and put makeup on. I 59 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.599 can wear shorts all the time now, things like that. 60 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.759 So it's been nice to kind of be away but 61 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:45.639 also be a fan. 62 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:46.400 Yeah. 63 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:48.560 You know, I'm kind of embedded in Tucson, so I've 64 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.919 been here a long time and I still follow everything. 65 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.240 Sure, sure, sure, And it's been good. I mean lately 66 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.520 it's been crazy, not so much on the sports side, 67 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.080 but in the administrative side. 68 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:00.439 Yes, for sure. 69 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.599 I guess the university has a new president as of 70 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:03.280 this afternoon. 71 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.479 Did they hire the guy they did today? Wow? The 72 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.719 only guy they actually talked to, Although I would have 73 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:12.919 put this caveat because you know the businesses they probably 74 00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.400 talked to a few people, don't Okay, if I don't 75 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.000 get the job telling you didn't interview me. This never happened, 76 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:21.639 and here's the guy that ended up with it. 77 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.120 I mean, again, I'm not there and I don't really 78 00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:27.039 have any kind of inside information, but usually these positions 79 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.280 require at least a few people to be interviewed, everyone 80 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.479 from the provost to dean's people like that. When I 81 00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:34.840 was on campus, there'd be multiple people in town to 82 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:40.080 talk to staff and faculty and other people around the university. 83 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.520 So this guy obviously was very very well received as 84 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:44.000 there he is. 85 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.199 So you've been out of the business at Juba for 86 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:46.680 how long? 87 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:48.280 Just a few months? 88 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:48.599 Just? 89 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.759 Oh okay, I wanted to see if you could be 90 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.680 candid with me. I'm not going to ask you any 91 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:57.000 tough questions, but it's who would have thought they'd be 92 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.840 in this situation financially right, however, But he's in this 93 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.400 I shouldn't say everything. A lot of schools are like Arizona, 94 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:08.280 they just haven't come up publicly with it. Yeah, you know, 95 00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:10.759 the media hasn't gone out and searched, you know, the X, 96 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.560 Y and Z colleges to see how in depth they are. 97 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:13.800 Yeah. 98 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.639 I think there's a lot of universities that are kind 99 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.879 of in this predicament. The ironic thing about Arizona is 100 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.680 they had just launched a big capital campaign when the 101 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.360 news broke almost the next day, so the timing of 102 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.199 everything was just a little bit strange. 103 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.199 Remind me what that was, because you were probably at 104 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:31.439 the end of your rope with that one. 105 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.720 Well, no, I mean it was just you mean in 106 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.160 terms of how we felt. 107 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.959 Winter, No, no, no, what what was the campaign and 108 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:39.560 you were probably getting out of your situation. 109 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.199 Yes, well, I mean President Robbins was starting a big, 110 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:45.399 multi billion dollar campaign. 111 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:46.160 It was going to be. 112 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.399 Again starting right in November, basically late October when this 113 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:54.519 news broke, So the timing of that was a little 114 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:54.959 bit odd. 115 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.519 Did that hit TRD to that campaign in terms of. 116 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.560 Because no, I don't think you know. 117 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.279 Again, we'd have to check with you U of a 118 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.560 foundation to see exactly how how they did financially, But 119 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.959 from what I understand, they came up a little bit 120 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.680 short this last year with their goals. 121 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.480 You're talking about billions or millions, millions, okay, but the 122 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:15.920 overall thing was all. 123 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.160 Still the university is still raising over three hundred million 124 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.319 dollars a year, so that's not not too shabby. 125 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.000 Right, right, did you like that part of the world. 126 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:23.680 It was. 127 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:24.199 It was good. 128 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.319 I got to meet a lot of interesting people. I mean, 129 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.199 I was such a news kind of person that I 130 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.839 almost treated the people I met as if I was 131 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.040 doing interviews with them. 132 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.000 For the news story. 133 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.399 And I got to learn all kinds of different jobs 134 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.879 and histories. And again, I met people who were students 135 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.000 in the nineteen fifties all the way up till the 136 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.079 twenty tens. It's really kind of fun to hear their perspective. 137 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.680 Everybody had a tie to the u of A right 138 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:50.519 matter where they. 139 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.360 Lived, and I think because of who you are and 140 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.279 what you did, that opened a few doors. At least 141 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.399 they knew the face, they knew the work, and and 142 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.199 that's one of the reasons by the hire you, because 143 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.079 you were who you. 144 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.120 Are, right, so that that didn't hurt to a certain extent. 145 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.879 I mean some of the people I used to joke 146 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.639 with them, like, you know, you were in at the 147 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:13.000 u of A. 148 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.519 You probably weren't watching the news too much. 149 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.959 But some of the people who've been around town, especially 150 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.759 some of the local people, they knew who I was, 151 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:21.759 so that that was nice. 152 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.800 Yeah, and that helped you shake hands, kids, babies, and 153 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:25.920 get some money. 154 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.040 And you know it's from a sports fan. 155 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:28.879 I have to admit, I got to go to a 156 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.839 lot of really cool places with these donors. You know, hey, 157 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.720 where I was in Washington, d C. Meet me at this, 158 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.319 you know, Congressional Golf Course, one of the most famous 159 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.439 golf courses in the world. One time I was at 160 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.839 Pebble Beach, just meeting on a lum who happened to 161 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.079 be a member. So it was fun to have those 162 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.639 experiences too, right, right right, intimidating it all. 163 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.120 A little bit. Raising money is not. 164 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.759 Easy, no, no, no, not easy. 165 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.600 But you really just have to make connections with these 166 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:57.319 people and find out what their passions are and see 167 00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.360 if it matches something that the U of A is 168 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:00.600 interested in money for. 169 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.600 So it was it was a challenge. 170 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.680 Yeah, makes sense. But you know, you're you're a personable guy. 171 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.240 You're a good guy, likable guy. I'm not saying that 172 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.600 because you're here. Well, you know, we've been to you, 173 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:13.959 we've known each other for a long time, and all 174 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.480 that helps because you know, if you were starky and 175 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.959 you were paint in the neck, you know, why would 176 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.720 they want to talk to you? 177 00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.279 Yeah, And it was fun to be able to bring 178 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.800 up stories from my history and like, hey, I was 179 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.800 at that game too, where there are many many times 180 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:27.959 right I was at this, I was at that game. 181 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.560 You want to talk about final fours, I've been all 182 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:31.319 the final. 183 00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:34.160 Fours, and sports is the the bridge for a lot 184 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:35.920 of those conversations. 185 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:35.680 Very much. 186 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:35.800 So. 187 00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.959 You know, I wasn't necessarily raising money for athletics, although 188 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.000 I could, but that wasn't It was always something I 189 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:44.920 could bring up easily. 190 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.399 No good, Good to have you in studios today. We're 191 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:53.600 going to talk to the soccer coach, Rebecca Morros their 192 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.000 new season. I think she's in her fourth year, a 193 00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:00.720 very good, smart coach and changing the ways that were before. 194 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.879 And we'll see what she's up to now in the 195 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.480 big Conference and some of the new people that she 196 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.560 has coming in. And then at four fifteen I tracked 197 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:12.480 down Casey Scourn, former U a kicker. You saw Anthony's 198 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.879 note right about kind of like the odd quick fact 199 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.480 one of the tougher punters you've come across, because he 200 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.240 actually got involved in tackles. Yeah, and he liked it, 201 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:23.720 you know, he liked it you'd get hit and he 202 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.160 liked to hit. So we'll talk about that. He's now 203 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.639 a cyclist. I saw him in April in Scottsdale writing 204 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.080 the Scott Stille Tour tour to Scottsdale and ran into 205 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:36.919 him and, uh, you know, what would cook Kickers be 206 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.759 doing today? I mean, what's his routine now at spring 207 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.480 as fal begins, because those dudes are okay somewhere else right, yeah, there, 208 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.360 and they're practicing. It's like rich Rob didn't know what 209 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:49.879 they did until they showed up, and he says, if 210 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.519 you're missing those what are you guys doing? Yeah, those 211 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.320 are That's just what you do have to do. All 212 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.279 you have to do is do this, and you're missing 213 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.120 what the hell are you doing on the other side 214 00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.759 of the field. 215 00:08:58.799 --> 00:08:59.399 You have one joke. 216 00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:01.120 I used to like going to practice and watch the 217 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.799 kickers because they would, you know, they bring them in 218 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.159 at the beginning, maybe they do a kickoff drill and 219 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.080 then they would disappear an hour or two right in 220 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.039 the corner, maybe stretching, doing something right. Bring him back 221 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.200 for Pat at the end of it was it. 222 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.159 Was always so we'll talk to him about that, the 223 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.519 good old days. And I think I don't think you 224 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.240 were here, but I do think if I can remember correctly, 225 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.399 he missed the kick against Southern col Yeah. Yeah, one's 226 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.120 giving me the confirmation. Kids. Remember, and he's the one 227 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.360 that got the death threats. Just remember just the pressure 228 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:35.200 of dealing with that, you know, because uh, sports sucks sometimes. 229 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.480 Yeah, you know, you don't, you don't perform and people 230 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.080 are gonna let you know. That's especially nowadays too, with Twitter. 231 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.679 And Twitter and gambling aloud exactly. 232 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.639 I didn't forgot about that. 233 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.759 You're right, you know you cost me a lot of money. Bum. 234 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.240 It seems to be, uh, a reason for a lot 235 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.120 of hate in sports. 236 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.480 Oh yeah, just that there's a lot of hate anyway. 237 00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:01.720 It just compounds it. Yeah, yeah, okay, hey, Juana, thanks 238 00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:03.480 for joining me. Let me ask you a quick question. 239 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.559 How's life on the other side of being a reporter? 240 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:06.879 Oh it's so much fun. 241 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.039 It's fun, so much fun. What the hell are you 242 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:14.200 doing that? I mean here, hey, let the jokes come 243 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:17.240 from the professional space. You're a reporter. 244 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.960 Yeah, just started about two weeks ago where Arizona desert swarm. Okay, 245 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.480 it's it's been It's been nice to see the guys 246 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.799 out there and be able to write about it. Had 247 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.519 an article come out today. 248 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:30.399 Your first second second? 249 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.200 Okay, cool about the defensive line, how they want to 250 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.639 get vertical across the line of screamage and they just 251 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:36.399 want to be physical. 252 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.159 Yeah, so you're out there. We had Brian Peterson, your boss, 253 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.720 here yesterday. So, uh so, how's that being kind of 254 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:45.879 part of it asking questions. I don't know if you 255 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.480 have yet or not. Uh, it's uh, it's different. 256 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.279 Huh. Yeah, it's definitely different. 257 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.080 It's not it is. 258 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.039 It's not something I haven't done before. I've done a 259 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.919 lot of interviews before this job, so it's almost feel 260 00:10:58.919 --> 00:10:59.399 a little bit. 261 00:10:59.320 --> 00:10:59.759 Natural to me. 262 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.320 Just go in there and ask questions, ask the not 263 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.039 yes or no questions, but answer. 264 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.159 To fill your to fill your notebook, and to do 265 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.399 your story exactly. Yeah. Yeah, so what do you see 266 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.799 because we had Brian talk about what he saw. What 267 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:16.240 do you see in your time? You've been there two times, three. 268 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:19.080 Times from for the team. Yeah, I've been to almost 269 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:23.080 every practice. Okay, that the defense is going to be 270 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.480 I think very very quick to the ball. We have 271 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.000 a really good secondary. 272 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:32.320 I believe. Yeah, I should say you're not a weed anymore. Sorry, 273 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:33.399 but you're still a student. 274 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.639 But we'll just regard this. The secondary will be fast. 275 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.720 They're they're very quick to the ball, very physical. The 276 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.960 defensive line they want to pressure the quarterback, which I 277 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.279 feel like they have been throughout the first couple of days. 278 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.279 And then you have Jacob Mona holding down the linebacker. 279 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.039 Tay Brown has been in and out with some mixtures, 280 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.080 but he seems like the right hand man. 281 00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.279 So so we'll do this and maybe they we'll talk 282 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.679 about this. Because you know, you were this sports director 283 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:03.679 right for in your time, how many under people did 284 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.240 you have, like secondary people? 285 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:07.440 Either one or two more? 286 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.559 That's all? Wow? So they stayed awhile. 287 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.200 I mean atogether altogether? 288 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.679 Oh boy, maybe five or. 289 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:18.279 Six with some of them being U A grads. Did 290 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.240 they come through being U A grads or from somewhere else? 291 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.679 They came from somewhere else, Okay, I'd have to think 292 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:25.000 about it. Off the top of my head, I don't 293 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.240 think anybody was a U A grad. 294 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:28.679 And the reason I say that is because you said 295 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.240 we right, you're still a student, so we can give 296 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.120 you that. But and I've said this before on the show, 297 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:36.759 a lot of the guys or the kids here are 298 00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.879 great UA grads and you know, they might be typing 299 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:42.039 their stories or go watching the game and under the 300 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.360 table giving a fist bump or each other high fives 301 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.080 and blah blah blah. Did you come across that? Did 302 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:49.600 you have to say, you know, temperate? 303 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:50.759 Yeah, a little bit. 304 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:52.960 I mean even I hate to say this, but I 305 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.320 mean there were times again, as reporters like you and 306 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:58.519 I have been, we enjoyed it when they did. 307 00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:58.919 Well. 308 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.000 No, we talked about that because it meant. 309 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.279 Good things for us too.
