They've now dropped out 82 00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.960 of the top twenty five. After I start, I saw 83 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.759 a video before the show saying that the season is 84 00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.439 probably over now for Florida State. That's the case. 85 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.879 Yeah, this share probably opened up their playbook. They have 86 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.120 to they have to run the table. I'm going to 87 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:57.759 beat that today. 88 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.919 You might have to, yeah, right, the two tables to 89 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.199 get it. But sometimes Brian brought up the butterfly effect. 90 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.080 I kind of believe in that too. So last year 91 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:11.080 the butterfly was alive and floating. This year the butterfly 92 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.240 is dead. Sometimes you have to give up good and 93 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.560 then next year is bad. 94 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.759 Yeah right, But they were on. 95 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.720 Their horse for a while there at the end last year, 96 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.600 and then I got in the Bowl game. 97 00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.240 I saw I saw a meme on face, Facebook or 98 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.199 or Twitter, I can't remember, uhy Facebook. You know, this world, 99 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.319 it just sucks. It's just it sucks. You know, just 100 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.360 people saying, you know Andy Brown's this, any Brown's that 101 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:42.160 stand so so that they already fired the FSU coaching 102 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.360 deon your next baby, on your next. 103 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.279 No, you think that's already starting. 104 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.680 That's it was a fake one. I had to go 105 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.639 to This is true. You know, you see something foolish 106 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.480 like that, you go not have to go verify. It 107 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.800 wasn't very it wasn't true. But I'm sure you know 108 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.639 how it is.

And he had one phone 137 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.800 call yet to take, and he said, if that's the 138 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.519 phone call I think it is, I'll probably not come 139 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:24.199 in Arizona. 140 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.600 There you go, he's in Kentucky.

I didn't realize 437 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:07.359 that was that long. How it probably never gets old 438 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:09.079 for you because you continue to do it and you 439 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:10.079 do a great job of it. 440 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:13.799 Well, thank you.

And I don't 443 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.680 see me falling out of love with the programs or 444 00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:25.680 the fans, or the players, the coaches, anybody the atmosphere 445 00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.920 anytime soon. So uh yeah, I shouldn't. I shouldn't be 446 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:31.319 going anywhere by my own by my own admission. That's it, 447 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.359 that's for sure, especially when you got so much excitement 448 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.000 happening like what we saw on Saturday night at Arizona 449 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.039 Stadium with that that quarterback and wide receiver tandem that 450 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:40.759 we've got. 451 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.960 Right, So your question, I want to know, how did 452 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:44.759 you get into it? Jah? 453 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.000 How does that you know, your audition for that spot 454 00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.599 that you do and then run us through that process? 455 00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:52.000 How does one get involved in that? 456 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:53.880 Started? Yeah? You know? 457 00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:57.960 So yeah, so it was thirteen years ago and Arizona 458 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.720 Basketball opened up there, you know, basically open auditions for 459 00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:04.920 the for a new PA announcer, and I didn't even 460 00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.119 I didn't even put my name in the in the 461 00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.960 audition hat. I had a friend actually, who also does 462 00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.079 PA for a college college sports. He contacted the UFA 463 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:18.480 and said, Hey, I know a guy who would be 464 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.839 perfect for you, and it just kind of things just 465 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.279 kind of snowballed from there. I sent an audition CD 466 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.680 to them back when we had these things called compacts 467 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.160 that people would listen to, and I sent them a 468 00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:34.480 CD and Greg Byrne and Sean Miller liked what they 469 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.839 heard and brought me in for a live audition, and 470 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:39.960 then a couple of weeks later they notified me that 471 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:43.400 they got the job. So I did that for six 472 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.680 years and Greg he constantly asked me if I could 473 00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:49.039 be the PA announcer for football, and I kept telling 474 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.200 him no, no, you know, because as a season ticket 475 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.160 I've been a season ticket holder for twenty one years 476 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.680 for Arizona football, and that's kind of like my church. 477 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.160 I really love going to the games as a fan. 478 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:01.960 So I'd always tell Rank some you know, outlandish number 479 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:03.359 that he would have to pay me in order to 480 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.680 get me to be at the ann aunswer. He just 481 00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:06.359 tapped me on the shoulder and so have a nice season, 482 00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:10.440 enjoy the games. And uh, but everything changed with with 483 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:13.559 with Dave heikey and and uh you know, Dave ended 484 00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.079 up kind of just you know, offer me a lot 485 00:22:16.079 --> 00:22:18.119 of a lot of perks and things like that. Not 486 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.720 a whole lot of money, but a lot of perks 487 00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.319 that go along with with with doing the football job. 488 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.519 And and I gladly snatched it up. 489 00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:26.240 So you said, not a lot of money. So I 490 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.640 was already gonna blame you for the deficit, Jeff. 491 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:35.000 Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't if if if my numbers fell 492 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.480 off the books, they probably wouldn't even notice. I'll just 493 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:38.119 put it that way. 494 00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:38.960 So let me ask you. 495 00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:41.759 So you're a big fan obviously, and people here who 496 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:43.559 listen to the show know that I used to be 497 00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:45.240 a fan of sports a long time ago. 498 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:45.759 Uh. 499 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:47.599 I mean, I probably grew out of it because it's 500 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:49.279 my job now. You know, you talk about it, you 501 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:51.799 do it, you go to game, and eventually the wind 502 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.119 wears off. Has it has it worn off for you? 503 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.200 Or or what level of fan are you? 504 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:01.960 You know, I'm still a heart fan every single day, 505 00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.160 you know, I still grow, you know, grow stronger and stronger, 506 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:09.200 it feels like, you know, every day, because when you 507 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:13.680 work for the teams, you end up developing relationships with people, 508 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.200 and you know, a lot of those relationships kind of 509 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.000 branch out, you know. You know, I developed a pretty 510 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.680 good friendship with Sean Miller and his staff, and even 511 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:26.920 though they're they're in Cincinnati now at Xavier, I still 512 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:28.720 talk to him and his staff from time to time 513 00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.079 and his family and things like that, wish him happy 514 00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:34.480 birthdays and merry Christmases and all that stuff, and it 515 00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:36.880 just kind of broadens your horizons a little bit. I 516 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:39.759 think it keeps you from being a really myopic fan. 517 00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.839 I think it allows you to kind of expand your 518 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.480 view somewhat when you when you get to meet these 519 00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:48.880 people and know them and learn that you know, they're 520 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.599 just they're just regular people like you know me. They 521 00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:52.640 just happen to have somewhat of a high profile job 522 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:57.119 in a in a very very mercurial type of you know, 523 00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:01.160 work that they do. And so if it's just kind 524 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:05.000 of allowed me to see that there are real people 525 00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:08.200 doing these jobs, real people, you know, the coaches, the players, 526 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:11.720 everybody is just a real person and they just should 527 00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:14.000 be treated as such. But it hasn't changed my fandom 528 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.680 at all. I still bleed red and blue. 529 00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:20.039 So you've been doing football for seven years. We'll talk 530 00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:22.759 about maybe besketball on the other end, but seven years, 531 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:24.960 I think this is going to probably be or you 532 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.839 could tell me the best team that you'll be announcing about. 533 00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:31.480 It's very apparent. I think, yeah. 534 00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.519 I mean, you know, obviously last year's team was pretty 535 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:36.319 darn good as well. I mean that finished in the 536 00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.599 Alamo Bowl was really impressive, and that was it was 537 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:44.599 a very impressive collection of players, and it's really nice 538 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.759 to see this year the leadership that rose from within 539 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.720 the player group basically making that dedication to the city 540 00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.000 of Tucson and saying we came here to make a 541 00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:59.039 difference in the city of Tucson, not for a specific coach. 542 00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.079 We ca here to make our mark on the city 543 00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.279 of Tucson, and we intend on on doing that and 544 00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.279 we're you know, we're not going to be satisfied until 545 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:07.640 we do. 546 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:07.880 So. 547 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:10.200 I think that's kind of what you're seeing from some 548 00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.400 of the leaders on this team, which is really really 549 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:13.920 special to see. You don't get to see that very 550 00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:15.839 often in this day and age in college football. So 551 00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:19.119 seeing guys rise up like that and and make it 552 00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:23.920 known that that that's their goal, that's that's really really special. 553 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.079 And I think this team has has a lot of 554 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.279 special qualities about it that are very similar to that. 555 00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:31.480 So, you know, seven years, and you went through someone 556 00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:35.039 for three uh jet for three? 557 00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:36.000 Right? Is that right? 558 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:36.440 For someone? 559 00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:38.200 Was your first year or rich Ruth? 560 00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:40.559 Yeah? Someone someone's first year and my first year were 561 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:41.359 the same first year. 562 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:41.720 Yeah. 563 00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.519 Good, Well, see that's where you that's where you suffered 564 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.200 for three years. And now you're reaping there you are. 565 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.559 Now you're reaping the rewards. You know always and there's 566 00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.440 always good bad, there's always good. Uh So your your 567 00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:55.559 love and I was going to go somewhere with this. 568 00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.440 Oh so now you go through three coaches and you 569 00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:00.240 kind of really probably don't deal with the coach is 570 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.839 you probably deal with the new ads And there's a 571 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:05.599 lot in store right for the for the program. Now, 572 00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:09.839 I mean there's they're doing DJs with things and monitors 573 00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:13.240 and all that. How busy are you with all the 574 00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:15.240 changes or do you are you affected? 575 00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.839 Yeah? You know as part of the team, the marketing 576 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.720 team that goes on on game days and tries to 577 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.559 put on the show for the fans, for the you know, 578 00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:27.319 the forty to fifty five thousand fans that show up 579 00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:29.240 at Arizona Stadium. You know, we're all a part of 580 00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:32.319 a team together. It's the game day experience and and 581 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.279 I'm just a small part of that. And now I 582 00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:39.319 just happen to be the most tenured member of that situation. Uh, 583 00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:42.119 there's been a lot of turnover this this offseason in 584 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.279 the marketing department and the game day experience department and 585 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:47.960 Desiree read France while of course getting the job as 586 00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:50.519 the athletic director and bringing a lot of her people 587 00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:52.319 from Missouri with her, and they're a lot of their 588 00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:55.319 great experience that they had at Missouri and in the 589 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:58.559 SEC and and some of the expertise and fun things 590 00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:01.359 that they brought with them are now being introduced. And 591 00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:03.720 so it's a nice wrinkle. And you know, there's there's 592 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:06.960 change that happens every year when you work in this 593 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.119 in this environment. A lot of change happened this year. 594 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:15.240 But I think where, you know, the direction that they're 595 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.839 going is is in the right direction. I know, their 596 00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.839 hearts and their their brains are in the right place, 597 00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:22.160 and if they can just take a little time for 598 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.200 for everyone to kind of work together, kind of feel 599 00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:26.279 things out. And also you want to feel some of 600 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:28.960 the feedback from the fans too. You know, they sent 601 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.839 out surveys right away after the game to all the 602 00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:34.000 fans that attended the game to see what what they 603 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.200 liked but they didn't like, and they're going to listen 604 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:36.759 to them. 605 00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.319 Yeah, she said that maybe a week or so ago, 606 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:42.400 that she's big into those surveys and she pays attention 607 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.599 to a lot of what people are saying because they're 608 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:46.599 spending their money to go to these events. 609 00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:50.559 Very smart. Absolutely, Yeah, you want feedback from your clients, 610 00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:53.960 from your customers, right, so you got to ask, Yeah, 611 00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:56.200 I got to ask. Otherwise they call in the air showing. 612 00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:58.160 And they complained, Right, you don't want them to do that. 613 00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.599 I want to say that said, mister Dedon, did you 614 00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.839 you had a show in the morning. I'm sure you 615 00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:07.400 loved it. I wouldn't like the six o'clock wake up calls, 616 00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:09.480 but you know you missed that. 617 00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.039 In some ways, I do. In some ways, I don't. 618 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:15.799 You know. It was a nice retirement after, you know, 619 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:18.960 I worked in radio for twenty four years before I 620 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:22.559 retired last June. And you know, I still do voice 621 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:24.319 work and things like that. I just don't host a 622 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:27.799 radio show anymore. And it was great doing the morning show, 623 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:30.359 but because of the business that I run up here 624 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.119 in Phoenix on a daily basis, I'm working every night 625 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:35.599 until nine thirty or ten o'clock at night, So it 626 00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:38.200 was really difficult to work that split shift. Be up 627 00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:40.160 at four four thirty in the morning to prep for 628 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.039 the radio show, kind of work somewhat throughout the day, 629 00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:44.680 take a three or four hour nap in the middle 630 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:46.000 of the day, and then get up and go back 631 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:47.839 to work again. It was it was just a little 632 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.119 bit too taxing. And you know, thankfully I was able 633 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:54.400 to make a somewhat graceful exit I think, and still 634 00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:57.200 able to be a part of the community down there 635 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:00.000 in Tucson, which I love because that's where I'm from originally. 636 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.279 I was born there in my family's from there. Just 637 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:04.240 happened to live and work up here in Phoenix. 638 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.680 Okay, where'd you go to school? Did you go to 639 00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:07.799 school here locally? At high school? 640 00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:11.519 No, we moved. We moved up to Phoenix when I 641 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:14.240 was when I was somewhat younger, but because I went 642 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:18.319 to Dobson High School up here of it, but family 643 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:20.599 lived down there. I still have family lived that lived 644 00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:23.960 down there in Tucson. So I'm there all the time 645 00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:25.960 and have been for the last forty plus years. 646 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.200 So are you brave enough to do what Jake Fisher 647 00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:29.960 and some of the rest of the guys do up there? 648 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.000 Where are you a apparel and take crap from people? 649 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.759 You know? We we when when when Sean when Sean 650 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.480 Miller and I would, you know, would laugh about it 651 00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:42.599 and stuff, because you know, Sean was was very you 652 00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:44.279 know a lot of people don't know you know, just 653 00:29:44.319 --> 00:29:46.640 how you know, gracious and giving a man he was. 654 00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.960 When I got the PA job, they sent me about 655 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.880 fifteen hundred dollars worth of apparel to where and they said, 656 00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:56.319 we want you to always be repping ABR and uh 657 00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:58.480 and so he and I would always talk about that 658 00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:00.000 and He's like, you a b are And I said, 659 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.240 A b R and always be repping. So yeah, I 660 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.119 wear I wear you have a gear as often as 661 00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.039 I can up here in Phoenix, And yeah, you hear 662 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:10.440 it from from the fans and touch here. But they 663 00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:12.279 don't have much of a leg to stand on as 664 00:30:12.279 --> 00:30:13.880 it is right now, so it's kind of fun. 665 00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:16.759 For us, right right. I remember running to Greg Burn 666 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.799 at the Final four in one year and we didn't 667 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.160 have our Arizona gear on it, and he gave us 668 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.839 a rash of crap. What are you guys doing? I 669 00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:26.240 don't see one block A on any of y'all. What 670 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:29.960 are you doing? And from then on, I'm always repper. 671 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:31.119 A b R. 672 00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:33.440 Now I put on that you are, tell me I'm 673 00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.319 not repping. 674 00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.960 You always be representing your school. 675 00:30:39.160 --> 00:30:39.599 A b R. 676 00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:42.359 Okay, I didn't know I'm in the in the vernacular, 677 00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:46.079 A y P, K y P know your people come 678 00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:48.000 you know that one. 679 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:51.640 That's what that's Lott said, K y P know your people? Yeah, 680 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:54.720 don't pass it to the walk in the corner. 681 00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:56.960 You know he's open. Yeah. 682 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.680 So so you so you come down every game? Do 683 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.319 you be here Saturday? What are you looking forward to 684 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:06.519 here on Saturday? The improvement? I'm sure we'll give me 685 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:08.240 your evaluation of the first game. 686 00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.599 Well yeah, I mean, you really can't say much more 687 00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.839 than what what Tedoro McMillan did on Saturday night. I mean, 688 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.720 he said all kinds of records. He's the he's the 689 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.960 ap player of the week in all of college football. 690 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:25.359 The entire country almost had five touches. He was literally 691 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:28.039 twelve inches away from a fifth touchdown on Saturday night, 692 00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:32.000 and you know, made some spectacular catches even that landed 693 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.680 him out of bounds and such. But you really can't 694 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.279 say enough about about the job that he does. And 695 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:38.720 and now the rest of the team is going to 696 00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:40.720 have to rise to the occasion as well, because the 697 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.960 entire country now knows number four. I mean if if 698 00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:46.000 they if they didn't know before for whatever reason, they 699 00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:48.720 definitely know now. So it's going to be on you know, 700 00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:51.400 on the other ten guys on that offense and then 701 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:54.480 that huddle with him to step up and rise to 702 00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:56.920 a new level to meet him and to match his 703 00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.400 his intensity and his his skill level, because and it 704 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.799 is impressive and fun to watch. 705 00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.599 Yeah, no question. The only thing that I had a 706 00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:07.799 concern about was the defense. Obviously they'll try to get 707 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.279 that fixed and we'll see what happens. 708 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:13.240 Yeah, it's it's a you know, tackling is one of 709 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.440 those things that you always see that's that's a downfall 710 00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:18.559 for a lot of teams in their first week of 711 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.880 college football, and you also see guys at a position. 712 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:23.839 We saw some of that on Saturday night there was 713 00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:26.559 on a stadium, and unfortunately, we did see a lot 714 00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:30.519 of you know, extra curricular stuff that occurred after the 715 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:33.759 whistle was blowing, which completely unnecessary and I'm sure that'll 716 00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:34.680 get cleaned up as well. 717 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.039 Yeah, so you brought up Sean and basketball. Let's go 718 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:42.200 to Tommy. Two very different personalities, at least in my eyes. 719 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:49.599 Yeah, for sure, very very very different personalities. Sean was 720 00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:53.839 one percent business all the time. When Shawn and I 721 00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:57.240 would have breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we talked about basketball. 722 00:32:57.680 --> 00:32:59.720 I mean that's there was literally and he would ask 723 00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:02.039 me questions like, who do you think is the greatest 724 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:03.599 shooter to ever play at? You have a who's the 725 00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:05.480 greatest player ever? You have a you know, who's your 726 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.400 favorite player? I mean, there was just NonStop basketball talk. 727 00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:12.079 And Tommy is very different. Tommy takes a different approach, 728 00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:16.359 and Tommy is probably most certainly more liked by his 729 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:21.039 players than Sean was because of the kind of personality 730 00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:23.519 and you know, Tommy's got that big, one million dollar 731 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:26.480 smile and he's just a lot of fun to be 732 00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.400 around it, and I really really enjoy working with Tommy Lloyd. 733 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.319 Right, he's just one of the dudes, I think at least. 734 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:36.440 But I think you describe Sean pretty accurately, and you 735 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.400 you were probably one of the many or one of 736 00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:41.000 the few very few that got close to him because 737 00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:43.359 he didn't have a circle that he allowed in. 738 00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.480 No, he really didn't. And they, you know, they tested 739 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:49.880 me early. It was kind of funny. They they sent 740 00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:51.880 me some tests early to see if I was somebody 741 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:53.960 that was going to be trustworthy, and apparently I passed 742 00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:57.440 the test.

He used me as 1103 00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:50.679 the guinea pig, like he would show like post mooves 1104 00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:52.760 and he would put me on this defense and he 1105 00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:55.800 give me a little crap because I was an Arizona guy. 1106 00:49:55.840 --> 00:49:58.239 And so he's like, they only teach you how to 1107 00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:00.599 play defense down there, right at least going at and 1108 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:03.039 I'm like, I don't want to hurt the guy, like 1109 00:50:03.639 --> 00:50:06.320 he has no ankles and no knees and he's shooting 1110 00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:08.159 shots over me, and I'm just kind of letting him 1111 00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:10.239 do it, and so he keeps He just I was 1112 00:50:10.519 --> 00:50:12.000 that was my role, So I'm staying in the lane. 1113 00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:12.199 Right. 1114 00:50:12.199 --> 00:50:14.800 So about the third day I was done. I was like, 1115 00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:19.039 know what, I'm taking it to him. So I might 1116 00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:21.239 have played him a little rough and maybe bumped him 1117 00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.159 a little and hit him on the elbow and made 1118 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:26.960 him miss a couple of shots. And afterwards he was like, seeing, 1119 00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:29.480 I told you, I know they taught you there, So 1120 00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:32.840 I just had to get it out of you. He 1121 00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:33.440 was a great guy. 1122 00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:33.800 He was. 1123 00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:35.440 I would sit and listen to him all day. 1124 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.800 Yeah, No, he's great at his inspirational speech speeches. 1125 00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:41.280 He got a little a little different at the end. 1126 00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:43.880 I mean when I knew him, when I talked to him, 1127 00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.199 it was twenty five years ago. 1128 00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:49.519 Right, right, he was. He was more under control. Is 1129 00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:52.840 that the right price? He was more straightforward in his approach. 1130 00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:57.039 He wasn't so far off to one way. 1131 00:50:56.960 --> 00:51:00.239 Or the other in the silane. Yeah, yeah, I just 1132 00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:02.880 got to be his stick. Oh yeah, yeah, he knew. 1133 00:51:02.960 --> 00:51:04.440 That's why he ran, no question. 1134 00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:07.519 In fact, when he passed, I had a conversation with 1135 00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:12.760 Luke who about him, because Luke had written the forward 1136 00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:14.840 for my book, And I said, you know, look, at 1137 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:17.039 the end of the day, we all loved him, and 1138 00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:20.840 I think we appreciate you and nothing he had a 1139 00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:24.800 choice because you allowed and the kids allowed him to 1140 00:51:24.880 --> 00:51:28.559 be shared. And because everybody knew Bill, whether you liked 1141 00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:30.760 him or didn't like him, you knew who he was 1142 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:32.920 and and and and that takes a lot of time 1143 00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:35.559 from the kids, if that makes any sense. You know, 1144 00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:38.360 my dad had Dad liked that too, and animal like 1145 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:40.599 that too. Everybody kind of knew them and and hey, 1146 00:51:42.000 --> 00:51:44.000 share they're fun, They're fun to be with. I can 1147 00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:46.920 tell you stories about them. Uh, And he appreciated that 1148 00:51:46.960 --> 00:51:51.119 because did you watch his special? Yes, what a fantastic special. 1149 00:51:51.360 --> 00:51:53.599 I recommended it all the time because it was it 1150 00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:56.920 was to the point he was who he was serious wise, as. 1151 00:51:56.800 --> 00:51:59.880 Much as he heads with Wooden. Yeah, he quotes that 1152 00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:03.679 guy all the time and gives him so many attributes 1153 00:52:03.719 --> 00:52:07.159 or so many first credit for the stuff that he learned. 1154 00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:09.559 Do you still have your dad?
