45
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>catch up on football finally again. Yep, with Brian Peterson

46
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>here at the early hour, right at fifteenth th seventeen.

47
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 2>See what's going on because he's there at the practices.

48
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>And then uh track down Jeff Skirten. He's doing some

49
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>of his usual drive, you know, for shoe drive and

50
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.479
<v Speaker 2>for the needy in Mexico. See all the work that

51
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 2>he does for that. And then I kind of wanted

52
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>to ask him, how's life.

53
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's not coaching this year.

54
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.639
<v Speaker 2>Over all these years, I think he's maybe sat out

55
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:33.919
<v Speaker 2>a year.

56
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.039
<v Speaker 3>I think he sat out a year a while back

57
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 3>before he went over to Rio Rico.

58
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then we'll see how is this really?

59
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Is he you know, he you know, does he

60
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>need like, yeah, some counseling. Does he need to go

61
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 3>to a you know, a ten step thing, you know,

62
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 3>Kevin hang On, Yeah, exactly, Yeah, you know, I mean,

63
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 3>because he's been doing this for so long.

64
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, And then you know, talk about things that

65
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>we talked about, some of the things that high school

66
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 2>kids go through because this so psychology, psychology stuff, you know,

67
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 2>do they deal with the same stuff that that the

68
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 2>college kids do. There's still pressure? Are you gonna the money?

69
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.719
<v Speaker 3>Right? And where's the pressure coming from?

70
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Right?

71
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 3>Is coming from? Did you see? There was a thing

72
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 3>with a couple of coaches at a very prominent Alabama

73
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.159
<v Speaker 3>high school, one of the top and and the coach

74
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 3>who just got hired is its first year and his

75
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 3>defensive coordinator. They both had to resign because some video

76
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 3>came out of them beating up their players. Really, there's

77
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 3>the video that you see. It's an overhead video and

78
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:32.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't know who would have shot that. It almost

79
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.319
<v Speaker 3>looks like it's from a from a drone, but there's

80
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 3>a there's obviously alignment drill happening. And so this lineman,

81
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of a defensive lineman kind of gets you know,

82
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 3>he gets man handled, and one of the coaches, I

83
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 3>don't know which are the two coaches it was, races

84
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 3>over to him, pushes them and as he's pushing him

85
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 3>grabs his face masks, so the face mask, so the

86
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 3>helmet comes off and he falls through the ground and

87
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>then he throws the helmet at because you got beat Yeah,

88
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 3>because he got beat on the on the in the drill.

89
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Well is this did you read it? Was there a

90
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 2>story that went yeah? So is the coach a past

91
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 2>coach too? He was hired? Do you have coaching experience?

92
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 3>I should say I'm presuming he is. He did, because

93
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.080
<v Speaker 3>you know how you know this is this is Hoover

94
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 3>High School and somewhere in Alabama, which you know again

95
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 3>one of the top football high schools in Alabama's You

96
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 3>don't get that job if you weren't coaching somewhere else.

97
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 2>So he must have been a very good coach who.

98
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 3>And maybe this has gone on elsewhere, but there's no video.

99
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Right Well, the thing is, that's funny unless they tape

100
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 2>their practices with a drone normal, why else would it

101
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>be there unless they thought maybe something.

102
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.920
<v Speaker 3>And some somebody got ahold of the video and it got.

103
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 2>A well that's how kind of the beginning of the

104
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 2>end for probably night they use.

105
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 3>The practice that he got the guy by the neck right.

106
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 2>Read I think it was read where you know they

107
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>had that thing put away and then someone brought it out.

108
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, so you know. But anyways, so you know,

109
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, is that is that a Is that a

110
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 3>product of coaches feeling pressure? Is it a product of

111
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 3>coaches dealing with players who are feeling pressure? But here's

112
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.319
<v Speaker 3>the coach who obviously went off in a way that

113
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 3>you can't and now he's not a coach anymore, and

114
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 3>he you know, being when when you read about this

115
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 3>high school and what it is, you know it's probably

116
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 3>a place where you know, you can get a college

117
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 3>job out of there, and now his coaching career is

118
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 3>probably over or close to it, right, He's not gonna

119
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 3>be coaching high school anywhere. No, No, So I mean

120
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 3>back to your point, there's a lot of pressure and expectations,

121
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 3>and it's creeping down right from well pros to college

122
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 3>to high school.

123
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Well. No, we talked even we talked about the youth football,

124
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the youth football little league by baseball, where the kids

125
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and the umps are fighting with really, I mean really

126
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 2>really trying to prove especially like the kid who got

127
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 2>his butt kicked for the buddy ump and the and

128
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>the and the pace mask. I mean, come on, what

129
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>what what the coach wanted to prove that the guy

130
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>was safer out he's a nine year old kid.

131
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Here. Let me ask you this,

132
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 3>because you know your kids played sports. They were playing soccer, right,

133
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 3>and one of them went to college for soccer, right.

134
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Did you put pressure on your kids though? Never, never,

135
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I think, did.

136
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:19.560
<v Speaker 3>You look at your kids and say, I want my

137
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 3>kid to be a professional athlete. No.

138
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I wanted my kid to be good at what he did,

139
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>happy with what he did, both of them because because

140
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 2>they were No, my dad wasn't like that. My dad

141
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>was not a helicopter kid. My dad supported me, went

142
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 2>to everything. I went to everything I went to. IM

143
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.959
<v Speaker 2>rarely missed a game. So I was that same guy, supportive.

144
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I was more not entangled with the other guys because

145
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.399
<v Speaker 2>and I told you the story with some of the

146
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Hispanic dads in soccer, because there's a lot of us,

147
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>a lot of them, and they would cuss out kids

148
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 2>and coaches and refs in Spanish. They didn't have a

149
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.439
<v Speaker 2>clue to know that I was that I knew what

150
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 2>they were saying because because they didn't know, and I said,

151
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.959
<v Speaker 2>come on, guys, enough he said, oh you know were saying, yeah,

152
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 2>what you're saying, No, it wouldn't. It didn't stop me.

153
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 2>So the coaches and Cosgrove was a coach cause we'd

154
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.560
<v Speaker 2>have to have meetings with the guys, and he bought

155
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 2>everybody instead of the people who needed to be talking,

156
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>which which is an issue.

157
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, all three of my kids played

158
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of sports through high school. Two of them

159
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 3>were three sport athletes and one of them was a

160
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.920
<v Speaker 3>two sport athletes, so they played everything and to me

161
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 3>and even you know, Little League and all that stuff,

162
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 3>to me, the most most important thing was for them

163
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 3>to have fun.

164
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 2>To have fun enjoyed. It was supposed to be fun.

165
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Kids should be kids should be kids, and if you're good,

166
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 2>even better, even better. There were days there were pressure

167
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 2>because Cameron played at the highest level here and in

168
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 2>the West. It was yeah, you know, and he was

169
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 2>the goal. He was like, oh god, please, But it

170
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>was never get on him or because what's the point.

171
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:50.120
<v Speaker 2>There's no point.

172
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I you know, I yelled at a refer

173
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 3>to just for bad calls and things like that, but

174
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, but not in a way, not in a

175
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 3>threatening way like you know, just may have said something

176
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 3>or you know, all coma ref, you know whatever, stuff

177
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 3>like that, but not in a way that right, not

178
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 3>a way that the ref is going to turn their

179
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 3>head and look at me and like go, what the

180
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 3>hell are you doing? Right? Just you know, just normal,

181
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, part of the game. But I wanted my

182
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 3>kids to have fun. I wanted sports to be fun

183
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 3>because I saw watching them grow up in Little League

184
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 3>and stuff like that. I saw kids that weren't.

185
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Having fun to get out of the gate.

186
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you know, my son. Uh And I bring this

187
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 3>up because the Little League World Series is getting ready

188
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 3>to start right the baseball you know, they're showing all

189
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 3>the regionals and stuff like that. And our all star

190
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 3>team at Sabina Canaan Little League was really good to

191
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.919
<v Speaker 3>the point of you know, uh uh. I was an

192
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 3>assistant coach on it, in the head coach, and we

193
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 3>had breakfast one time and he said, we were talking.

194
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 3>He said, we're really good. I said, do you think

195
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 3>we're Little League World Series good? He says, I don't know,

196
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 3>but we're really good. We really you know, I can

197
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.159
<v Speaker 3>see it's going quite away. So we The main thing

198
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:57.240
<v Speaker 3>you have to have there is pitching, and you have

199
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 3>to have more than one really good pitch three before

200
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 3>and we had that. We had these pictures who could

201
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.840
<v Speaker 3>just through gas like the kids that you see. This

202
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.200
<v Speaker 3>was Adam's twelve year old years. This was nineteen or

203
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and five, okay, okay, And we were really good.

204
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 3>But most of the kids, now my son just played

205
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 3>little league, all right. Most of the kids on that

206
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.600
<v Speaker 3>team also played club ball all right. And we get

207
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.919
<v Speaker 3>into we get into our practices, you know, for little league.

208
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 3>They no, they didn't give one crap about it, and

209
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.879
<v Speaker 3>they didn't care about the games. There were just more

210
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.399
<v Speaker 3>games to play, and we flamed out in the district.

211
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 3>We didn't even get out of disc you know, and

212
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 3>we lost a game that that eliminated us. Basically, my

213
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 3>son cried and the other guys just didn't give because

214
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 3>they were playing all kinds of baseball. They just didn't care.

215
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 3>This was just mortal. This was just more baseball than

216
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.080
<v Speaker 3>This wasn't a dream of And those kids go on,

217
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 3>well a couple of them play high school. That's as

218
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 3>far as I know. I don't know if they played

219
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 3>it beyond that.

220
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>So how did that go?

221
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly? And I remember this one time, uh we

222
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 3>were at my son was that we went to the

223
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.039
<v Speaker 3>bat There used to be this batting cage out on

224
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:19.799
<v Speaker 3>the east side, and I just took them over there,

225
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, just to hit. And we were hitting. And

226
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.320
<v Speaker 3>about five of those kids from that All Star team

227
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 3>who were playing on a club team together, we had

228
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 3>another batting cage with their coach and they looked miserable.

229
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>They were not having fun. And my son, he was

230
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 3>just there to hit. He just wanted to hit because

231
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:37.919
<v Speaker 3>you know, I can't throw. I couldn't throw the way

232
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.600
<v Speaker 3>these you know, we just took to hit, to have

233
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 3>fun to hit. And those guys were over there, work

234
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 3>and work and work and work, completely miserable, standing around

235
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>making fun and not having fun. And we, you know,

236
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:48.759
<v Speaker 3>we saw them over it, and like, those guys aren't

237
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.320
<v Speaker 3>having fun, they're playing, they're doing something that somebody's making

238
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 3>them do that they don't want to do.

239
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's such thing as burnout.

240
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 3>You did you?

241
00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Did you play burnout? Did it come to you? I

242
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 2>mean when I got to high school, it was it

243
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>was kind of like, all right, you know, I didn't

244
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>make my high school team.

245
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 3>So I just kind of like, oh, yeah, you just

246
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 3>stop playing. Stop playing. I wanted to I wanted to play.

247
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Third show. You played baseball, Okay, I played hockey.

248
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what you're gonna tell me you You were a

249
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>linebacker as your Texas I have ran over here. You're

250
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 2>a whistle the guy I saw, of.

251
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.559
<v Speaker 3>Course, but you know, but that that's the thing. And

252
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.480
<v Speaker 3>so you know, we're playing in high school and one

253
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.799
<v Speaker 3>of our pictures, Okay had a sore arm the whole time,

254
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:34.879
<v Speaker 3>and then we find out that while we're in season,

255
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.279
<v Speaker 3>he's taking pitching lessons. I'm like, you're throwing your arm out,

256
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.080
<v Speaker 3>what are you gonna do? Right? Just stuff like that

257
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 3>just throw me nuts. And it does. When I hear

258
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 3>stuff and see stuff like this, like who's to blame

259
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.320
<v Speaker 3>on all? It's it's usually the parents, often the parents.

260
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, the worst thing to happen to kids and parents. Yeah,

261
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 2>because I mean, he is gonna make me a lot

262
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>of money, right right, Well, get me to college or

263
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever. Yeah, that's understandable. It's understandable think that way.

264
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>But guess what, what's the percentage one percentage of the kids.

265
00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.799
<v Speaker 3>It's very small. It's really small, you know. I don't know.

266
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 3>It's just one of those things that struck me seeing

267
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 3>this thing with it with these high school coaches saying

268
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.240
<v Speaker 3>what are you doing? But then also seeing it, you know,

269
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 3>every time this year rolls around in the Little League

270
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 3>World Series, you got ready to start. I think back

271
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.399
<v Speaker 3>to this team that we had that had had the

272
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Speaker 3>talent to be really good. Now I'm not saying this

273
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 3>team was going to go to the Little League World Series,

274
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:31.840
<v Speaker 3>but it was something that we had in the back

275
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 3>of our minds because that's how good we.

276
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Thought everybody and everybody thinks that when you put together.

277
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's how good we thought this team was.

278
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, who would think this team from Wilcox Wilcox

279
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>for for but Steve sometimes you know, right, you know

280
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 2>there are teams that are really damn good. Yeah, well yeah,

281
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>but that was on the basketball.

282
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know you're gonna go to that other.

283
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, example, because you think you're really good, and you

284
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Speaker 2>are really good, but then you have to go do it.

285
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>You got to go do it, right. You don't understand

286
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 2>that Clemson's pretty damn good.

287
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 3>Right, but there's probably nothing more disappointing than knowing how

288
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 3>much talent and ability you have and you're not even

289
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 3>coming close to realize. No, I did it in high school.

290
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.960
<v Speaker 2>We did in high school the four years, number one

291
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>in the state going in and we didn't get to

292
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>the semi finals.

293
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.279
<v Speaker 3>It was just yeah, I mean, come on, it's just

294
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:21.759
<v Speaker 3>the way it is.

295
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, because you think kindly of yourself, you

296
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 2>know what, the other guys don't give a crap.

297
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Right, and then you go to the flip side. My

298
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.559
<v Speaker 3>Adam's a freshman team at Saint Gregory. I was an

299
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.919
<v Speaker 3>assistant coach on the team. We were just having fun.

300
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 3>We were not you know, we didn't. We thought we

301
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 3>were okay, but we didn't. You know, we had one

302
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.840
<v Speaker 3>really good pitcher. All of a sudden, We're finding ourselves

303
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 3>in the state semi finals. I'm like, what the hell

304
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 3>are we doing here? How did the hell did we

305
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 3>get here? And I think a lot of it had

306
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 3>to do with how much fun these kids were having. Confidence,

307
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.799
<v Speaker 3>because if you get if you get to win a game,

308
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 3>I'll send you win another game, and then I'll send

309
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 3>you here you are. And we had a blast with

310
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.799
<v Speaker 3>that team. That was the most fun I ever had

311
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.600
<v Speaker 3>on any kind of a baseball team. You know, I

312
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.960
<v Speaker 3>was an assistant coach on this team. Yeah it's great. Yeah, No,

313
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 3>it's that's That's just what it is.

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:14.759
<v Speaker 14>Thanks for having me back.

416
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 3>You working on that ten.

417
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.559
<v Speaker 14>I'm working on staying in the tiny little piece of

418
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 14>shade that still exists throughout football practice. Nice with my

419
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 14>big floppy hat and all that.

420
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Very nice, very nice, because it's so your cage. You

421
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:31.759
<v Speaker 2>better and you should know that better. You're right, you

422
00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 2>know all about that. How's it going so far?

423
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:40.160
<v Speaker 14>I think it's fine. I mean, this is the first

424
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.000
<v Speaker 14>fall camp under this regime, and to see how it

425
00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.480
<v Speaker 14>compares to what Jed Fish had done, there's not a

426
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.960
<v Speaker 14>lot of differences. Maybe some of the individual drills look

427
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:56.319
<v Speaker 14>a little differently. You're still hearing Duyna Kina be very

428
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.480
<v Speaker 14>loud out there, which is something that we heard last year.

429
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 14>But otherwise and with so many of the same players back,

430
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.160
<v Speaker 14>it does feel a lot like it was a year ago.

431
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's the thing, right, I Mean, we see

432
00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:13.359
<v Speaker 3>practices in you know, camps, and a lot of times

433
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.000
<v Speaker 3>we don't even really know what they're doing, right. We

434
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 3>know that they're on passes, catching passes, blocking, yeah, yeah, yeada,

435
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.519
<v Speaker 3>but we don't know what's behind all of that, and

436
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:21.000
<v Speaker 3>so it all kind of looks the same. I mean,

437
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:23.960
<v Speaker 3>I remember watching Kevin Somemlin's practices, except for the fact

438
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.039
<v Speaker 3>that Kevin Somelan looked disinterested. They looked like a lot

439
00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:29.759
<v Speaker 3>of other practices that you saw.

440
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:34.079
<v Speaker 14>Yes, I mean, it's just what is so unique as

441
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.759
<v Speaker 14>especially nowadays in college, when there is a coaching change,

442
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:43.039
<v Speaker 14>there's usually a mass exodus of players that the roster

443
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:46.160
<v Speaker 14>goes and overturns. Jed Fish is dealing with that up

444
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 14>at Washington Kylin de boor at Alabama and so many

445
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:54.559
<v Speaker 14>other places. And the fact that Arizona has at least half,

446
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 14>if not more, of the people on this roster were

447
00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:59.880
<v Speaker 14>here last year with a new coaching staff is what

448
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.400
<v Speaker 14>just kind of makes it so unique?

449
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.599
<v Speaker 3>Got it? Can you?

450
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.200
<v Speaker 2>And you could tell that the new coaching staff has

451
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>their full attention and they're bought in.

452
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.960
<v Speaker 14>I sue yes, And I think a lot of that

453
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:16.119
<v Speaker 14>comes from the fact that, particularly for the returners, they

454
00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 14>have tried to keep things as much the same as

455
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.440
<v Speaker 14>last year as possible. That this isn't like a Kevin

456
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:26.400
<v Speaker 14>Summons situation in twenty eighteen when he did bring back

457
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.359
<v Speaker 14>a fair amount of people like Colotate, but they changed

458
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.119
<v Speaker 14>a lot of stuff and it backfired. They've kept a

459
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 14>lot of the verbiage the same, and maybe not the

460
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.000
<v Speaker 14>schemes are exact, but just so much that is trying

461
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:47.599
<v Speaker 14>to stay familiar that the changes feel more like compliments

462
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:49.759
<v Speaker 14>than rather than supplements.

463
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Right, So, who's got your eye out there? There's a

464
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:54.559
<v Speaker 3>lot of talk about Kean Burnett. We've seen some stuff

465
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.400
<v Speaker 3>on him the last couple of days. Who else I

466
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 3>mean talk about him here than who else?

467
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 14>I mean? He Ken has really had a great camp

468
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:06.640
<v Speaker 14>and he made this finally is his opportunity to break out.

469
00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:09.519
<v Speaker 14>I mean, he didn't do as much those first two

470
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:11.960
<v Speaker 14>years as was expected, but that a lot of that

471
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.519
<v Speaker 14>had to do with Tanner McLaughlin right, and how great

472
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:19.599
<v Speaker 14>he was at that position. The two transfer receivers that

473
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.960
<v Speaker 14>they added, Jeremiah Patterson and ray Melo Murphy, have both

474
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:29.319
<v Speaker 14>looked really, really good, and with iMac not in the

475
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:33.160
<v Speaker 14>main mix for these practices so far, it's really allowed

476
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 14>so many of these other receivers to get opportunities, and

477
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:37.640
<v Speaker 14>both of those should be a big part of that.

478
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:41.119
<v Speaker 14>The defensive line has so many of these new guys

479
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 14>on it. Trey Smith from San Jose, Chuba Mai from

480
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.319
<v Speaker 14>UC Davis. They were here in the spring, but they

481
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 14>continue to fill that in there on the defensive line,

482
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:54.680
<v Speaker 14>and how that rotation works out is going to be

483
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:56.640
<v Speaker 14>a big key to it. We're also seeing a lot

484
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 14>of new offensive linemen. When Raymond Palito find out right

485
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 14>camp begins he's not going to be available this season,

486
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:08.599
<v Speaker 14>that opens up left tackle and Rhino to tie. I

487
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:10.759
<v Speaker 14>probably said that really badly, but I know how to

488
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.480
<v Speaker 14>spell it. That's all that matters has been holding down

489
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:17.240
<v Speaker 14>that left tackle spot and if he can, if he

490
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 14>can hold his own in that position, then it helps

491
00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:21.640
<v Speaker 14>solidify everything else on the line.

492
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I think we may have buried the lead to so

493
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.480
<v Speaker 2>t Mac got a pass today, That's.

494
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 14>What I've heard. Yeah, yeah, so it's watching what he's

495
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.559
<v Speaker 14>been doing at practice. It's not a matter of like

496
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:38.480
<v Speaker 14>if there was a game on Saturday, he'd be playing.

497
00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:42.519
<v Speaker 14>But they're they're being careful with him because there's there

498
00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 14>isn't a need to put him at risk when they

499
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.319
<v Speaker 14>know that he knows everything. And I had asked this

500
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:50.759
<v Speaker 14>of Bobby Wade a couple of days ago at practice,

501
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:52.400
<v Speaker 14>of how do you make sure you're keeping a guy

502
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.720
<v Speaker 14>who's off on the side up to speed, especially when

503
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:58.279
<v Speaker 14>you're installing essentially a new offense with Dino Babers and

504
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.799
<v Speaker 14>all these new callplays. And he said it like that

505
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:04.079
<v Speaker 14>Timak is still involved in all the meetings and all

506
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 14>the film and everything, and when he would be off

507
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.720
<v Speaker 14>on the side and what we've referred to as rehab

508
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:13.519
<v Speaker 14>island doing his individual stuff with the strength and medical staff,

509
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:16.400
<v Speaker 14>when they would do actual team periods of seven out

510
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.960
<v Speaker 14>seven or eleven eleven, he'd come over and watch it

511
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.559
<v Speaker 14>so he can see exactly how it works and he

512
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:23.480
<v Speaker 14>can just instantly figure out where he's going to be

513
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:25.799
<v Speaker 14>in there. So I don't have any concerns about him

514
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:27.880
<v Speaker 14>being fully one hundred percent for the season.

515
00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, defensively, again, the ones that we want to

516
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:33.839
<v Speaker 3>know about, right, what does Jacob Monu look like? What

517
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:36.200
<v Speaker 3>does Justin Flow look like? And then the whole crew

518
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 3>in the backfield.

519
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:42.319
<v Speaker 14>Well, yeah, the secondary is by far the strength of

520
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:46.079
<v Speaker 14>this team, with so much veteran experience, Gunnar Maldonado, Dalton

521
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:51.799
<v Speaker 14>Johnson trade and Stukes Genesis Smith being almost like a

522
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 14>grizzled vet as a sophomore with the amount he played

523
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:57.480
<v Speaker 14>last year as freshman. Some new additions like Mark Heath

524
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.240
<v Speaker 14>grows Kill abrew a transfer who could be one of

525
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.880
<v Speaker 14>the starting cornerbacks. It's a very strong group back there,

526
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 14>and if they're able to make sure that they go six, seven,

527
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:10.519
<v Speaker 14>eight deep on there, they can continue to do those

528
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 14>dollar packages that Johnny Nansen liked to do. That was

529
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 14>a suggestion of Duyna Quina, so having that be available,

530
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.200
<v Speaker 14>it really just it comes down to how that offensive

531
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:27.079
<v Speaker 14>excuse me, defensive line fits in with everything. And they

532
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 14>spoke today about the coaches and players that the mindset

533
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:34.480
<v Speaker 14>for this group is trying to really disrupt the backfield

534
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:36.839
<v Speaker 14>a lot more than what Johnny Nansen had done. Johnny

535
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.319
<v Speaker 14>Nansen's defensive line was more about hold up those offensive

536
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:45.880
<v Speaker 14>linemen and keep them from getting the push and open

537
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 14>the holes for the linebackers. This group is trying to

538
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:51.200
<v Speaker 14>get into the backfield and really create the chaos themselves.

539
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:51.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

540
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.440
<v Speaker 2>So you've gone to most of them most of the practice.

541
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah so in your journalism, I how good you think

542
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:01.799
<v Speaker 2>there could be?

543
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 14>You know, I'm making my win total prediction at eight

544
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 14>for the year, which is above what the Vegas lines

545
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:14.519
<v Speaker 14>are saying. I think that's seven and a half.

546
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Right.

547
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.599
<v Speaker 14>Their toughest games are all on the road, and so

548
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:20.759
<v Speaker 14>you never know what you're going to get in terms

549
00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:24.759
<v Speaker 14>of playing in these road atmospheres. Having the experience they

550
00:26:24.759 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 14>do on both sides that played on the road and

551
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:31.039
<v Speaker 14>one games last year should help. It's just a matter

552
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:33.519
<v Speaker 14>of will that be the same in these different environments

553
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 14>in the Big twelve compared to the Pac twelve. I

554
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 14>mean the Kansas State game Week three, even though it

555
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 14>doesn't count towards the Big toastandings, how they perform in that,

556
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:47.000
<v Speaker 14>even if they don't win, will kind of be indicative

557
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:48.799
<v Speaker 14>of how the whole season goes as far as if

558
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 14>they can be in the hut for the Big twelve

559
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:51.559
<v Speaker 14>and get a playoff spot.

560
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean that Looms is a huge game for

561
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 3>what for the reason you said, because it not being

562
00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 3>a conference game, but it's where I think we're going

563
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:01.720
<v Speaker 3>to find out a whole lot about them in the

564
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:03.359
<v Speaker 3>you know, in that game, and then they got to

565
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:05.480
<v Speaker 3>go to Utah after that. We were talking to the

566
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:09.599
<v Speaker 3>Texas tech writer yesterday and you know, they think that,

567
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, they've got a shot to be decent. And

568
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:13.839
<v Speaker 3>that's kind of what it is across the league right

569
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:16.079
<v Speaker 3>probably eight teams that are going to be really hard

570
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:16.279
<v Speaker 3>to be.

571
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Well decent by saying they could go five and zero, yeah,

572
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 2>in the first five games.

573
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.079
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I mean the preseason at Pole is going to

574
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.319
<v Speaker 14>come out on Monday, and either like Utah is probably

575
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 14>going to be the highest ranked team in the conference,

576
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.240
<v Speaker 14>and if they are twelve, that would be high for them,

577
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:34.759
<v Speaker 14>But then there's going to be four or five other

578
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.920
<v Speaker 14>Big twelve teams that could get ranked. So to see

579
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 14>that many number in there, but kind of all bunched together,

580
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.160
<v Speaker 14>and a lot of the early computer rankings have six

581
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:47.319
<v Speaker 14>to ten different Big twelve teams kind of in a

582
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 14>lump in a twenty or thirty spot thing right there

583
00:27:51.079 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 14>below the first tier. That just kind of gives you

584
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:57.240
<v Speaker 14>indication of how deep the league is, and then it

585
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:00.599
<v Speaker 14>comes down to who you're playing and who who everyone

586
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.319
<v Speaker 14>else is playing. Arizona has an advantage there because they

587
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.680
<v Speaker 14>don't have to play Kansas, Kansas State, or Oklahoma State

588
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 14>or Iowa State in the conference in conference play, and

589
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.160
<v Speaker 14>those are some of their top competitors. The first game

590
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.599
<v Speaker 14>against Utah will be a big one, but then and

591
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:20.119
<v Speaker 14>the Texas Tech one for the first home game will

592
00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 14>be but then they they play one of on paper,

593
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:26.599
<v Speaker 14>the weakest schedules in the conference. So if they can

594
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:29.319
<v Speaker 14>be competitive, that votes really well for them down the stretch.

595
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.039
<v Speaker 3>Do you think they do you think they win to

596
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:36.440
<v Speaker 3>lose to or split the Kansas State and Utah games,

597
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:38.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, both on the road.

598
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:40.880
<v Speaker 14>I have them losing both of those games just because

599
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.640
<v Speaker 14>those are going to be the toughest for right now.

600
00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:46.160
<v Speaker 14>I mean, who knows what's going to happen from it

601
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.640
<v Speaker 14>that Kansas State game. If they lose that game by

602
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.759
<v Speaker 14>a touchdown, then you can still gain a lot of

603
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:54.440
<v Speaker 14>value from that, But if they just kind of get

604
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.799
<v Speaker 14>whooped in it, then you have to reassess and see

605
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.319
<v Speaker 14>how they're going to be and Utah while they have

606
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:03.880
<v Speaker 14>familiar with that program having played them in the Pac twelve,

607
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 14>that that's on the road to start league play and

608
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:09.279
<v Speaker 14>be right back to back on the road, that's a

609
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:12.240
<v Speaker 14>very tough sell there. Then you have your buy if

610
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:14.759
<v Speaker 14>they had their buy Actually no, the buye is before that,

611
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 14>but still just having those two in consecutive could be

612
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:19.079
<v Speaker 14>really tough.

613
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 2>So I think you asked Desire this question about the

614
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.119
<v Speaker 2>season tickets. It may have been somebody else. What's your

615
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.640
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on the fan base they bought in. Have you

616
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:32.839
<v Speaker 2>got an engauge from your site?

617
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:36.599
<v Speaker 14>I think they are bought into the extent that they're

618
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 14>going to give it a shot. But like we all

619
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:41.839
<v Speaker 14>know this fan base, all it takes is one bad

620
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:46.880
<v Speaker 14>result and they can start searching for the lifeboats. Having

621
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.920
<v Speaker 14>New Mexico, which I believe they're supposed to be favored

622
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 14>by close to thirty points as that first game and

623
00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:56.680
<v Speaker 14>then NAU, it does provide this opportunity for the fans

624
00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 14>to get a really good feel about how this is

625
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 14>and get some excitement. But if they were then to

626
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.440
<v Speaker 14>lose the Kansas State and Utah games, then the single

627
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:10.559
<v Speaker 14>game tickets for that Texas Tech game could suffer just

628
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:14.759
<v Speaker 14>because people get very very there's so much recency bias.

629
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 14>I mean, I see it even too in all sports.

630
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:21.079
<v Speaker 14>The Diamondbacks last year started lost the first two games

631
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:24.880
<v Speaker 14>at Philadelphia in the National League Championship Series, and next

632
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.880
<v Speaker 14>thing you know, they were selling their game three tickets

633
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.839
<v Speaker 14>for seven dollars on stuff huck because they thought the

634
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.079
<v Speaker 14>series was over. It's just people overreact.

635
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:38.680
<v Speaker 3>We're talking to Brian Peterson Asydesert Swarm dot com. Brian,

636
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:42.720
<v Speaker 3>you know these expectations that are around for the program

637
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:45.920
<v Speaker 3>is like you said, you know, fans they may lose

638
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.160
<v Speaker 3>their minds if Arizona comes in at two and two

639
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:52.480
<v Speaker 3>or whatever. But you know, we never get this right.

640
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:55.440
<v Speaker 3>You know that we've had some ten win seasons and

641
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 3>they've been high expectations. It's it's a whole lot different,

642
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.200
<v Speaker 3>especially with as long as it's been since, you know,

643
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.720
<v Speaker 3>there's been any hope for this program. From a writer's standpoint,

644
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.839
<v Speaker 3>how do you balance all of that right, Because you've

645
00:31:09.839 --> 00:31:11.559
<v Speaker 3>got a fan site that you want fans to be

646
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:14.640
<v Speaker 3>excited about this program. But on the other hand, if

647
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.960
<v Speaker 3>you start saying things you can lose credibility or whatever. Right,

648
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:20.440
<v Speaker 3>you know what I'm trying to get at you. You're

649
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 3>trying to be straightforward, but you're.

650
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 14>Worried about that part. And if I don't have people

651
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 14>hating me, I'm probably not doing the job right. But yeah,

652
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:31.799
<v Speaker 14>I'm never going to sugarcoat things and not point out

653
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:35.519
<v Speaker 14>the possibilities of how things can go bad. And at

654
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 14>some point here before the opener, I'm probably going to

655
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.759
<v Speaker 14>be writing about just the season after the really good

656
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.799
<v Speaker 14>seasons in Arizona history and that we've experienced, I mean,

657
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:50.240
<v Speaker 14>even most recently as twenty fourteen when they go ten

658
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:53.480
<v Speaker 14>and four, when the Pac twelve South make the conference

659
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 14>title game and play in one of the New Year's

660
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:59.519
<v Speaker 14>six Balls, and then the next year, what do they do?

661
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 14>They lose to BYU, like right out at the gate

662
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:07.759
<v Speaker 14>up in Glendale, and it's a disappointing season. And that

663
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:11.759
<v Speaker 14>has happened pretty much every time football has had a

664
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.559
<v Speaker 14>good season. Right that you have to understand that one

665
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 14>season does not dictate the next. While there are you know,

666
00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:21.440
<v Speaker 14>on paper, this team should be very good because of

667
00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 14>the people they bring back. The other teams could be

668
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 14>good too, and things change, and you know what, it

669
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:30.279
<v Speaker 14>just doesn't carry over anymore.

670
00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:32.720
<v Speaker 2>So we've got a couple of minutes left to what's

671
00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>going to happen to or for the football program to

672
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.559
<v Speaker 2>do really well, the defense has to step up, or

673
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:41.519
<v Speaker 2>the offense has to do what it needs to do.

674
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 14>The defense has to do enough to make it so

675
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:49.839
<v Speaker 14>that this isn't a team that they can't be a

676
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.319
<v Speaker 14>team that has to score every time they have the ball,

677
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:54.519
<v Speaker 14>because that just puts too much pressure and then you

678
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:59.519
<v Speaker 14>force things. You look back at Patrick Mahomes' final season

679
00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:02.480
<v Speaker 14>at Texas Tech, and he was incredible, but he would

680
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:04.839
<v Speaker 14>then throw three interceptions in a game while throwing for

681
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.960
<v Speaker 14>five hundred yards because his defense gave up points every time,

682
00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:10.759
<v Speaker 14>and they'd lose games like sixty eight to fifty five.

683
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:14.839
<v Speaker 14>You need your defense to just be serviceable. And last

684
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:19.880
<v Speaker 14>year the defense did far better than expected. They could

685
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:21.759
<v Speaker 14>have given up a few more points each game and

686
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 14>Arizona was still able to win because of how well

687
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:28.240
<v Speaker 14>the offense developed, but the offense didn't feel pressure to

688
00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.200
<v Speaker 14>score every time because the defense was holding its part.

689
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:34.359
<v Speaker 14>So I think the defensive side just has to be

690
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.319
<v Speaker 14>in a case where they are not just guaranteed points

691
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 14>every time they're on the field.

692
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.480
<v Speaker 3>How different does duayna Quina look out there? You know,

693
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.720
<v Speaker 3>he was a defensive backs coach last last year. Now

694
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 3>he's the guy more visible. We always hear him, right,

695
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:52.480
<v Speaker 3>but you see him?

696
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.319
<v Speaker 13>Is he more?

697
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:56.079
<v Speaker 3>Do you hear him more? I guess is what I'm asking.

698
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:59.960
<v Speaker 14>You know, I think he's really using that coordinator part

699
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:05.720
<v Speaker 14>of the title uh perfectly and that he's he's overseeing

700
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:08.840
<v Speaker 14>the defensive backs more than anything else. But like he

701
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 14>is deferring to Lyle to Uh, to the defensive line coach,

702
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:19.679
<v Speaker 14>he's deferring to the linebacker coach and letting them do

703
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:22.760
<v Speaker 14>their things with his suggestions of how he'd like to

704
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 14>see things. But he's not sitting here saying this is

705
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 14>how you're going to do it. Figure out a way

706
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.840
<v Speaker 14>to make it work. I mean, he'll be the one

707
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.199
<v Speaker 14>calling the plays, but he's calling the plays based on

708
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:36.880
<v Speaker 14>what those assistants are telling him work best, and that's

709
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:38.280
<v Speaker 14>what a coordinator should be doing.

710
00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, Brian, I hate to say this, we like you.

711
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 2>We don't want to hate you, even though you liked us,

712
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:47.639
<v Speaker 2>or something like that. So you know, unless you're talking

713
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 2>just a bunch.

714
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:54.639
<v Speaker 14>Of readers, Yeah, it's it's good to be hated, you.

715
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Know what a lot. He must feel really good.

716
00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:00.440
<v Speaker 14>It's better to be hated than ignore.

717
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:01.440
<v Speaker 3>Hey, there you go.

718
00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, then we'll catch you next week.

719
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.199
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, Thanks Brian, thanks for having me.

720

<v Speaker 2>love it, I love it, I hate you. Jim.

722
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:15.880

723
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:19.360
<v Speaker 3>you too. Let's take a break. We'll be right back.

726
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:27.119
<v Speaker 2>back at the Ludolsen era in my new book, Lessons

727
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:28.719
<v Speaker 2>from Loot. It was a labor of love through the

728
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.679
<v Speaker 2>eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to

729
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:34.119
<v Speaker 2>give insight to the coach and the man who led them,

730
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.280
<v Speaker 2>competed against them, and inspired them twenty five chapters for

731
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:40.800
<v Speaker 2>his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from

732
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Loot is an insight to how he built the program

<v Speaker 2>into a national powerhouse. What one email me at Steve

767
00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:29.519
<v Speaker 3>Is there an NFL game? There's a bunch of NFL

768
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:33.559
<v Speaker 3>games tonight. The preseason pretty much get started tonight with

769
00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:35.880
<v Speaker 3>a whole bunch of stuff. All right, So, hey, did

770
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:38.639
<v Speaker 3>you see that? It looks like the UFA has its president.

771
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh did they get one? I know they get the

772
00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:41.800
<v Speaker 2>second guy.

773
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:46.639
<v Speaker 3>It's a strange note thing is that they're only going

774
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:49.199
<v Speaker 3>to interview one person. The Border Regions is only going

775
00:37:49.239 --> 00:37:51.440
<v Speaker 3>to interview one person, so they knew who there's like,

776
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 3>this is what, this is what we're presenting the Border regions.

777
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Of the Border Regions will vote on him, which that

778
00:37:56.679 --> 00:37:57.639
<v Speaker 3>doesn't make me feel great.

779
00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Do they say who it is?

780
00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:05.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a guy named si esh Garamella. He's the current

781
00:38:05.239 --> 00:38:10.679
<v Speaker 3>president of the University of Vermont. I was I was

782
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:13.639
<v Speaker 3>on the I was on the search committee for that

783
00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 3>hired Li Likens. And I'll just say I'll just say

784
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:20.320
<v Speaker 3>it this way. There were three candidates that that got

785
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:23.079
<v Speaker 3>interviewed by the search committee and they were all they

786
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:25.639
<v Speaker 3>all had to be public and stuff, and I remember

787
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:28.440
<v Speaker 3>going into that one one of the one of them

788
00:38:28.639 --> 00:38:31.880
<v Speaker 3>was where was she at? But anyway, there was a

789
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.719
<v Speaker 3>favorite among the three right that people thought, Okay, this

790
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 3>is going to be the one, and she turned out

791
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.559
<v Speaker 3>to not be the one that got hired because you

792
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:41.840
<v Speaker 3>did these interviews and you met them all and then

793
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:44.360
<v Speaker 3>we ended up with Peterkins, who was a very good

794
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:48.559
<v Speaker 3>president in Arizona. So this worries me in that they're

795
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:53.840
<v Speaker 3>only giving the border regients one person to uh who's

796
00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:57.239
<v Speaker 3>the search committee there? There's there's a there's a search

797
00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.599
<v Speaker 3>committee that gets put together, right. It's usually a bunch

798
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:05.000
<v Speaker 3>of community members and then and then they present them

799
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:08.559
<v Speaker 3>to present that recommendation to the to the border regions,

800
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:11.719
<v Speaker 3>and the border regions makes the hire. So if this

801
00:39:11.880 --> 00:39:13.800
<v Speaker 3>and usually there's a region on the committee.

802
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.320
<v Speaker 2>So if this person does not fly, they got to

803
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:17.239
<v Speaker 2>go back to the dragon board.

804
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:19.559
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like it, right, I mean that that's what

805
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:21.719
<v Speaker 3>sounds like there's just this one person. So it's like, Okay,

806
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:23.960
<v Speaker 3>who are you and why are you know? Why are

807
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:27.159
<v Speaker 3>we only getting you know? I mean right, don't you?

808
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:29.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean you go to you go apply for a

809
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.599
<v Speaker 3>job at McDonald's and they interviewed three or four people

810
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 3>for a job at McDonald's.

811
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:36.760
<v Speaker 2>You think that it's like though that we talked about this. Uh,

812
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:39.400
<v Speaker 2>there's a job opening, and I'm sure you've gone through this.

813
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.760
<v Speaker 2>I know I've gone through this. There's a job opening,

814
00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and the people who are doing the hiring already know

815
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:47.360
<v Speaker 2>who they're going to hire. U they just kind of

816
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:50.840
<v Speaker 2>go through the formalities of having people in whether it's

817
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a woman or man, but they already have somebody targeted.

818
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:55.519
<v Speaker 2>But to be fair, they open it up right and

819
00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:59.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, I'm sure you've lost the job that way,

820
00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:00.480
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, there's should be more.

821
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, well, I remember because one of the tests that

822
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:04.920
<v Speaker 3>I had on that on that committee was I had

823
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:08.679
<v Speaker 3>to actually call a couple of potential candidates. But we

824
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:09.039
<v Speaker 3>we were.

825
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:11.239
<v Speaker 4>A search committee, right, We were going out and you

826
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:14.320
<v Speaker 4>were the.

827
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah we were looking. Yeah, we were looking for people.

828
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:18.239
<v Speaker 3>So I remember calling this one university president and I

829
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:21.199
<v Speaker 3>won't say who he was. But you know, and I

830
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.679
<v Speaker 3>spoke to him, he said, he said, Look, he said, I'll, I'll,

831
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:27.159
<v Speaker 3>I'll be considered. I don't mind being considered, but I

832
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:30.079
<v Speaker 3>don't I don't want to be considered unless I've got

833

907
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:51.679
<v Speaker 3>To get so he ended up not being a candidate,

908
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:54.760
<v Speaker 3>but he said yes to your interview. Well, he said,

909
00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 3>he said, you know, I'm really happy where I am.

910
00:43:56.719 --> 00:43:58.159
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather you know, I'd rather know.

911
00:43:58.199 --> 00:43:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that was fine, especially if you don't want

912
00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:00.440
<v Speaker 2>you name.

913
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:02.039
<v Speaker 3>To be right. Yeah, I'll just the other thing. I'll

914
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:04.480
<v Speaker 3>say he was from one of the California state schools. Right.

915
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:08.559
<v Speaker 3>But you know the point of this conversation being though,

916
00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:10.599
<v Speaker 3>is you're going to bring us one guy and that's it.

917
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I get it. Let me ask you this. Okay,

918
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:15.719
<v Speaker 2>So you have this guy, do you want him to

919
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:21.719
<v Speaker 2>be like, uh, the doctor Robbins sports wise or not?

920
00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, you want him him or her, whoever it is.

921
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:27.760
<v Speaker 3>But in this case of him, you want whoever is

922
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.639
<v Speaker 3>university president. They're going to be the university president at

923
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:36.199
<v Speaker 3>a power for school now, to have an affinity for sports,

924
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:40.119
<v Speaker 3>to like sports, to understand how how how athletes are

925
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, can be and as they always say, the

926
00:44:43.039 --> 00:44:48.599
<v Speaker 3>front front porch of an institution like Arizona, you certainly

927
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.719
<v Speaker 3>hope that there's some sort of a commitment to that

928
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:56.599
<v Speaker 3>because if they if there's not, let's say, Michael Crow

929
00:44:56.639 --> 00:44:59.880
<v Speaker 3>maybe doesn't have the commitment that that up at AC

930
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:02.079
<v Speaker 3>that people want up there. And we've seen what's happened

931
00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:06.800
<v Speaker 3>to their their overall program. Yeah, and wea were heart right,

932
00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:08.960
<v Speaker 3>you know that was that was a tough go for

933
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:12.320
<v Speaker 3>in athletics for Arizona for a period of time. You know,

934
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Robert Shelton was you know, not president for very long,

935
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 3>but he you know, he was you know, he he

936
00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:21.000
<v Speaker 3>loves Peterkins, you know he was you know, I got

937
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.000
<v Speaker 3>to ask the sports questions at his interview, which is

938
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:27.400
<v Speaker 3>funny sports former. He was a wrestler and and uh,

939
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:30.119
<v Speaker 3>you know so I think you you hope that whoever

940
00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.320
<v Speaker 3>they hire has a has a true understanding of how

941
00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:39.599
<v Speaker 3>important this is. Two alumni to that that you get

942
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:42.760
<v Speaker 3>so much. There's a benefit to having a great athletic

943
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:45.960
<v Speaker 3>program at a at a university like Arizona.

944
00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, yeah, we'll see, but within within touching distance,

945
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:53.039
<v Speaker 2>but leave a lot of the.

946
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Decisions to the people who know sports. See and I

947
00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:59.679
<v Speaker 3>think people you know, your people will probably say that

948
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:02.199
<v Speaker 3>maybe Robin's got a little two hands on, a little

949
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:04.719
<v Speaker 3>two hands on with sports. But I knew that was

950
00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:07.519
<v Speaker 3>coming when I heard that he played quarterback in junior.

951
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, and he was very I saw him. You saw

952
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:11.159
<v Speaker 2>him at everything on the road and things like that.

953
00:46:11.440 --> 00:46:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, and and he was well he could be

954
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.119
<v Speaker 2>the guy or was the guy hired someone hired, fish

955
00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:21.440
<v Speaker 2>hired Tommy, you know, and and Dave was the guy

956
00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:22.800
<v Speaker 2>in the silence.

957
00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:26.280
<v Speaker 3>Some good, some bad. But I think and he's stuck.

958
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.239
<v Speaker 2>By Miller longer than he probably should.

959
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Have, longer than a lot of people wanted him to.

960
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well he was you know, over my dead body quote.

961
00:46:34.519 --> 00:46:36.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I I don't know, it's it's.

962
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:37.480
<v Speaker 2>We gotta have him on. We got to have him

963
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:40.360
<v Speaker 2>on before he goes Robin Robins.

964
00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:45.719
<v Speaker 3>It says, now, this guy, he was an executive VP

965
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:50.119
<v Speaker 3>for Research and Partnerships at Purdue, so he's been at

966
00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:53.480
<v Speaker 3>a you know, at a big school. He's actually from India.

967
00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, uh, you know, we'll see.

968
00:46:59.480 --> 00:47:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, anybody else want to call please.

969
00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Do the story it's in there is on a Daily

970
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Star who wrote, who.

971
00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Wrote, yeah, I saw I saw that out publicly?

972
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Who put it out? Ali Wolfe wrote that all eighteen

973
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:17.840
<v Speaker 3>members of the search committee were unanimous in the recommendation

974
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:19.840
<v Speaker 3>to the board to pick Garamella.

975
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:23.559
<v Speaker 2>So so they did hire the second in charge? I think,

976
00:47:23.559 --> 00:47:25.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't they yesterday at a lower rate?

977
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:27.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh? I don't know.

978
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they hired somebody yesterday, the guy who who's active, Oh,

979
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:34.840
<v Speaker 2>John Arnold. I think so if they hired somebody, yes,

980
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:37.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he was interim. Now he's now the second

981
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:39.280
<v Speaker 2>guy in command or second person in command.

982
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:43.280
<v Speaker 3>All right, So oh Arnold was with the Board of Region.

983
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:44.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, well, you know, I think, but I

984
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:46.000
<v Speaker 2>think he took a job. But I think he took

985
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:47.760
<v Speaker 2>a job and then just for the interim, and then

986
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:48.360
<v Speaker 2>he decided to.

987
00:47:48.320 --> 00:47:52.679
<v Speaker 3>Just It says that he says there was no formal

988
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:54.960
<v Speaker 3>timeline for the search, though at the beginning of the

989
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:57.480
<v Speaker 3>process of a discussion about moving quickly yea of YadA, yadda.

990
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:02.639
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't say. It says Darrimela is not expected to

991
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:04.920
<v Speaker 3>start right away if the regions vote to offer him

992
00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:08.280
<v Speaker 3>the position on Friday, there's a Border Regions meeting on Friday.

993
00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:10.559
<v Speaker 3>He was still needing to negotiate his departure from the

994
00:48:10.639 --> 00:48:13.639
<v Speaker 3>University of Vermont. Sources told The Star that he will

995
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:17.280
<v Speaker 3>most likely begin his tenure closer to October.

996
00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, so we try to get maybe uh, doctor

1018
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:25.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, again, it was part of the interview process

1019
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:26.760
<v Speaker 3>when you know, when I was on the community. We

1020
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:28.960
<v Speaker 3>have to we have to find out what they think

1021
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:32.000
<v Speaker 3>about about athletics, and it has to be a big

1022
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:35.039
<v Speaker 3>piece of what they do. So hopefully, I don't know.

1023
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.199
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if they're this thing with the border

<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I'm not I guess I don't.

1028
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:49.320

<v Speaker 2>Well, do you think that the committee bettered everybody? Or

1039
00:50:18.760 --> 00:50:20.920
<v Speaker 2>maybe they did that everybody and then they just said

1040
00:50:20.920 --> 00:50:21.440
<v Speaker 2>this is the guy.

1041
00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, and if they did and we missed it, then

1042
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:26.280
<v Speaker 3>I apologize if I made it seem like this this

1043
00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:29.360
<v Speaker 3>process wasn't as public as it needed to be. I

1044
00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:32.760
<v Speaker 3>just remember again being on the committee when the committee

1045
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:38.800
<v Speaker 3>interviewed candidates. The interviews were public. Now, if those things

1046
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:42.519
<v Speaker 3>happened and we didn't see them or hear about them,

1047
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.880
<v Speaker 3>then that's on us. If they didn't happen and they

1048
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:48.400
<v Speaker 3>just zeroed in on one guy and they're bringing that

1049
00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:51.119
<v Speaker 3>one guy, that's that's where I think. I feel I

1050
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:54.159
<v Speaker 3>have a little bit of an issue. So maybe we'll

1051
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:55.000
<v Speaker 3>find out from Alio.

1052
00:50:55.320 --> 00:50:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Send your letters to Jay if he has an issue

1053
00:50:57.880 --> 00:50:59.519
<v Speaker 2>attention issue.

1054
00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:00.800
<v Speaker 3>I have a tension issues.

1055
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:05.400
<v Speaker 2>I was with somebody today. I won't say whom that Jay,
