Speaker 1: on the Ball with Steve Rivera on Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to the ball. Here on Fox Sports
Speaker 2: fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. You're Mike Quinn still and

Speaker 2: gotta be nice to you because you're making the show run.
Speaker 2: I've been asked to leave, but I refuse.
Speaker 1: This is I on the Ball breaking news on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 3: NFL Week eleven was yesterday and the Bills beat the
Speaker 3: Chiefs thirty to twenty one to hand them their first loss.
Speaker 2: Of the season and Miami Dolphin. I had that celebrated.
Speaker 2: I had that game. I had that game. I was
Speaker 2: that's an easy game, but kennis series, I'll lose. At
Speaker 2: some point last year, they lost the fifth game of
Speaker 2: the season and did Okay, you know what this game means,
Speaker 2: not a damn thing, not a damn thing. You know,
Speaker 2: the only time it would be one thing if and
Speaker 2: I think that the Bills have kind of taken the
Speaker 2: advantage of home field advantage now because you know of
Speaker 2: the win, but they're still behind because the Bills have
Speaker 2: two losses. But I think it's there's they have the
Speaker 2: edge in terms of h so way if it comes
Speaker 2: to that. But uh and and this has happened. This
Speaker 2: is not a shock. It Bills own them in the
Speaker 2: regular season. Chiefs told them when would you rather win?
Speaker 2: Like MM playoffs like March? Yeah, yeah, AFC championship game.
Speaker 2: So so here here we are. I mean, great game
Speaker 2: to watch, another great game? Sure, yeah, love love watching
Speaker 2: of course, my wife said, King's City fans. So it's
Speaker 2: like we watch all those games we follow. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: she's she's been very happy the last few years, very
Speaker 2: happy the last few years. Year, which is great for me. Yes,
Speaker 2: so you're not living in the next room, not living
Speaker 2: in the next room. We get to we get to watch.
Speaker 2: But see that's you know, that's the thing it was.
Speaker 2: It was hard for me, you know, being a Miami
Speaker 2: Dolphins fan. It's like we're enough kids. You root for
Speaker 2: the at least the last undefeated team to lose. Larry
Speaker 2: Zanka posted many pigs of him drinking champagne. Yeah. The
Speaker 2: but I'll tell you another great game. You just kind
Speaker 2: of question though, It's like the Kansas City's offense just
Speaker 2: doesn't look like Kansas City's offense. No, but it hasn't
Speaker 2: been that way all year. I'm saying all year it
Speaker 2: hasn't looked that way. Well, guess what one game is
Speaker 2: not going to change that. I mean, it's Arizona offense.
Speaker 2: They got to come up with something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, offense was not like that all last year too,
Speaker 3: until the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Okay, And they talked about Kelsey on the show because
Speaker 2: I did watch a game. It says, well, he's coming
Speaker 2: around now. Well, it's how he's been playing well the
Speaker 2: last or. They've been throwing him the ball daily. Yesterday,
Speaker 2: not so much, I don't think, no, but they they
Speaker 2: they they threw the ball to him last week. This
Speaker 2: week they were, they were really all over him, and
Speaker 2: Drake and Hopkins caught a few balls right this yesterday.
Speaker 2: But they're really I tell you, what they're hoping for
Speaker 2: is they're hoping for this for Worthy to really step up.
Speaker 2: They're throwing him the ball, They're they're doing ends around
Speaker 2: and uh, I mean, if he steps up, you have
Speaker 2: three receivers that you can throw to. They've all always had,
Speaker 2: you know, three receivers when they've been really, really good.
Speaker 2: And then we'll see how this goes. Yeah, it's they
Speaker 2: talk about overreaction Monday. Yeah, I mean, come on, I'm
Speaker 2: sure that in Kansas City they're you know, leaping off
Speaker 2: tell buildings or whatever. But it's it's it's it's what
Speaker 2: happens in in the NFL. What has happens in November
Speaker 2: a thing he talked to me in the playoffs, and
Speaker 2: then then it matters, Oh, they're still gonna win if
Speaker 2: even if they don't, you can, you're gonna point to
Speaker 2: this game. Well, this is what it's how you play
Speaker 2: that day. And I've said this for ages, it's how
Speaker 2: you play that day. You might beat me one time,
Speaker 2: Quinn and I beat you one time. Yeah, but okay,
Speaker 2: good for you. Bills played you know, one of the
Speaker 2: best games that they've played. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm not
Speaker 2: I love the Bills. I was all over Allen a
Speaker 2: few years ago, and I still I still haven't looked
Speaker 2: at the running touchdown that he had. I needed I
Speaker 2: needed that for him to cover. Obviously, he was like
Speaker 2: a two point game. Because I had the Bills and
Speaker 2: with the in the j pool and they're good, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised. You know, the team I really like
Speaker 2: and I still like even after yesterday, Baltimore. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: Baltimore is gonna be tough because Baltimore is gonna run
Speaker 2: the ball. Okay, Uh the Steelers man talk about smoking mirrors. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell's going on there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like going to how you know, how are they winning?
Speaker 2: You know? I feel great for Russell Wilson. I've always
Speaker 2: liked Russell Wilson, him coming in and winning these games.
Speaker 2: But what they had? No touchdowns again, no offensive touchdowns.
Speaker 2: The It's gonna be tough to keep winning that way. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: of course, of course, you know they're they're they're winning,
Speaker 2: so they're not. Well, let me tell you this. If
Speaker 2: you remember three years ago, I think it was there
Speaker 2: undefeated for a long time under Rothsbergers. Last year I
Speaker 2: think whatever his name is, and guess what they loved.
Speaker 2: They lost in the first round. Yeah, they were this team.
Speaker 2: They couldn't score, they couldn't do much, but they were winning, right,
Speaker 2: and no apologies, they didn't have the They were winning,
Speaker 2: but they weren't that good, right, and that's saying about it.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure their defense is good. Defense definitely shut
Speaker 2: down Baltimore which has been running a great offense. Well,
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Look at San Francisco yesterday they lost freight
Speaker 2: team that had six field goals or whatever. Yeah, Seattle
Speaker 2: and they couldn't They couldn't muster enough in eighteen points
Speaker 2: or whatever. Okay, Henry, it's up to you. Rams are
Speaker 2: gonna win that division. Yikes. Yeah, I know, man.
Speaker 3: The Chargers beat the Bengals thirty four to twenty seven
Speaker 3: on Sunday Night Football last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw like two minutes of that game because
Speaker 2: it had no appeal to me. Well, you know, I
Speaker 2: will tell you this. Those two quarterbacks were going at it,
Speaker 2: and they're good quarterbacks. I don't know. I couldn't tell
Speaker 2: you whatever. It just was like he was throwing daggers. Man,
Speaker 2: it was just unbelievable. On the passage a quarterbacks brows burrows.
Speaker 2: If T Higgins dropped a ball in the end zone,
Speaker 2: that was just like bo I mean, it always catches that.
Speaker 2: How much he get paid, I'm not sure if he
Speaker 2: gets paid enough. It's like after dropping that ball in
Speaker 2: the end zone, fine anymore. Yeah, And then they were
Speaker 2: complaining about the kicker. You know, It's like they asked
Speaker 2: him about the kicker. It's like going, come on, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like you dropped a touchdown pass. What are you
Speaker 2: gonna give you give the kicker, Hey, kicker lost missed
Speaker 2: two field goals. Give you that the But anyway, it
Speaker 2: was a it was a pretty good game, you know,
Speaker 2: I tell you they were getting the Bengals were getting
Speaker 2: blowed out and then uh and then until they weren't.
Speaker 3: So we've got Monday Night football tonight at six fifteen.
Speaker 3: The Texans at the Cowboys are seven point favorite, speaking
Speaker 3: of don't give a crap.
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, what seven point favorites? Who they're playing? Who
Speaker 2: they're playing. Yeah, there was a shock that they're not
Speaker 2: the ten point favorite. Yeah, they should be a hundred
Speaker 2: point favorite. And it's like going, I take the over
Speaker 2: thinking that they were going to shut out Cowboys. It's
Speaker 2: like Cowboys are terrible this year. Terrible. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The Giants have bench quarterback Daniel Jones for Tommy DeVito.
Speaker 2: You could tell me you didn't tell me what's your
Speaker 2: last name, Henry? You don't have to say it on
Speaker 2: the air, but I know your last name of but
Speaker 2: you know, don't say it's like tell you Henry, Henry.
Speaker 2: I don't know your last name. Who are these dudes? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What Daniel Jones? Daniel Jones did sing for the monkeys?
Speaker 2: He's third string. They made him the third string quarterback.
Speaker 2: Didn't you sing for the monkeys? Or who Jones? Was that?
Speaker 2: Mickey Jones? Mickey Jones. Yeah, there you go to there's
Speaker 2: a flashback reference. It's like Jones the no so they
Speaker 2: know it is Davy Jones. Davy Jones, Yeah, Mickey Nolan,
Speaker 2: they'll tell you.
Speaker 4: Tell you.
Speaker 2: The But Daniel Jones, man, he is. They dropped him
Speaker 2: to number three. He's the backup, reserve, reserve, emergency quarterback.
Speaker 2: Who's the other dude, Vito? Oh yeah, yeah, I remember
Speaker 2: him because it's the other de Vito from Taxis. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Italian Stallion man, he's he's got all the hu.
Speaker 2: Giant guy. You're in New York? Oh not a not
Speaker 2: a Giants fan, not a Jets you lived there forever.
Speaker 2: I lived there for a long time. But I do
Speaker 2: know who are you.
Speaker 3: My family's like mostly Jets, but I'm a cult fan.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: The new ap pole.
Speaker 3: Has dropped today, Kansas remains at number one. Purdue has
Speaker 3: moved up to number six after win over Alabama. Arizona's
Speaker 3: down to number seventeen, and Duke is at twelve after
Speaker 3: losing to Kentucky last week.
Speaker 2: So I'll give you this question. Does this bring the
Speaker 2: game to a lesser appeal because the rankings have come
Speaker 2: up this way before the game two Carozona two Arizona,
Speaker 2: they could be both unranked. Yeah, well, let's not get
Speaker 2: carried away. But no, I totally agree with you. The prices,
Speaker 2: the prices on the tickets just diminished.
Speaker 5: They did, they did.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, it's like if they did, Oh,
Speaker 2: you don't have tickets for this one. I can't. No,
Speaker 2: I don't have tickets for you. I'm going anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're gonna go anywhere anyway. You're gonna go
Speaker 2: sit in those nice sweet seats there. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 2: nice sweet seats. They're just seats. And then you're gonna
Speaker 2: text me and say quit texting me. I'm trying to
Speaker 2: watch the game. Yeah, I'm working here, Yeah, working, I'm working.
Speaker 2: I'm observing the game. The that's gonna be a hell
Speaker 2: of the ticket to get, you know, I will say that.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, people are already on the aga. I'm looking
Speaker 2: for sure, you and everybody else. Yeah, oh yeah, sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's you know what, You're the one looking for tickets.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Michael, I know you're we're thinking about going
Speaker 2: to the derby. And let me tell you this, to
Speaker 2: be honest. Uh, the tickets here for the Duke game
Speaker 2: Friday are more than what you showed me for the derby.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: Twice twice as much? Wow? Yeah yeah, I wouldn't. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't pay that much for this game. How much would
Speaker 2: you pay? How much would I pay? Yeah? You got decent?
Speaker 2: Maybe twenty. Yeah, it's past your bedtime. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be sitting on the couch drinking a ice cold beverage.

Speaker 2: for my observations. Five minutes and like you always do,
Speaker 2: I don't ask you. I tell you your observations. Exactly.
Speaker 2: This is the way you would write about you and
Speaker 2: everybody else.
Speaker 3: Exactly defensive back Genesis Smith has been named the CO
Speaker 3: Big Twelve Defensive Player of the Week after his performance
Speaker 3: versus Houston last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a bad dude. He's a bad dude. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's pretty really he really, he really stepped up. It's
Speaker 2: like that you needed that. You needed someone like that
Speaker 2: to step up and play a big game defensively for
Speaker 2: us to win. We'll see how what goes in the future.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they just throw away from him, shut down their offense.
Speaker 5: Make him one dimensional. That's all I got.
Speaker 2: So you got? Uh? Anything else happening with the other sports?
Speaker 2: Women's basketball? When's basketball play? Or did they play Saturday
Speaker 2: to beat Chicago State pretty easy?
Speaker 5: I think it was Saturday Saturday beat.

Speaker 2: but I went to the game because I wanted to
Speaker 2: experience it. I was underwhelmed. Uh, he's Cameron Indoor. Cameron Indoor.
Speaker 2: I would have gone to Cameron and I paid X
Speaker 2: amount of money because I got into the game for free,
Speaker 2: enough for free, but I had to work, uh flight
Speaker 2: hotel and I'm on my own dime. So I was
Speaker 2: you know, you're talking maybe a thousand, but I do
Speaker 2: that to watch a game of camera one camera and
Speaker 2: then yeah, it's it's it's like watching for me, it
Speaker 2: was overhyped. It's over hyped because the camera it's it's
Speaker 2: built for it's built for eight thousand, nine thousand people,
Speaker 2: and it's crazy. I'll give you that. But I covered
Speaker 2: U A and Stanford for years. Great atmosphere when Stanford

Speaker 2: People don't know because they don't know because they don't
Speaker 2: go to Stanford. They didn't show the crowd. And now

Speaker 2: the kids were brutal. Damon, they got on, Damon, they
Speaker 2: get on sleam like the organ guys. Uh, and they
Speaker 2: were on top of you. And it was crazy, fun crazy.

Speaker 2: two old men in the balcony. Yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: those guys funny as all had. We couldn't look back

Speaker 3: Is that overnight.
Speaker 12: I am. I am just as frustrated as some other
Speaker 12: people are. And I think that with those frustrations, I
Speaker 12: think the coach of the program was frustrated too. But
Speaker 12: just some of the things I was hearing was just laughable, Like, hey,
Speaker 12: the team's giving up on the coach. And so I
Speaker 12: felt like, after seeing Friday, I'm like, does this look
Speaker 12: like a team that's given up? I mean, look at
Speaker 12: the post games celebration in the locker room. Like I think,
Speaker 12: people when you when you get a ten win season,
Speaker 12: it can get really easy to forget how hard it
Speaker 12: is to win football games because you got double digits,
Speaker 12: you know, and so when those watches start to stack up,
Speaker 12: they're like, oh, the guys to give it up. I'm like, no,
Speaker 12: just football games aren't easy to win. You're not easy.
Speaker 2: So what you're saying is the other team's trying to
Speaker 2: It's true. That's that's a grant. That's a great point.
Speaker 2: I mean, it is. It's hard. It's hard to win
Speaker 2: individual on football game.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, certainly. I mean you look at some of
Speaker 12: those games, with the exception to the Colorado game. In
Speaker 12: my opinion, I'm like, uh, those those other games since
Speaker 12: we last talk, were like, you're in it, man. I mean,
Speaker 12: people didn't want to give BYU credit, but obviously they've
Speaker 12: shown what type of team they are. But we played
Speaker 12: b YU on their homecoming day, you know. And so
Speaker 12: typically when you play a homecoming unlike what we were
Speaker 12: able to experience when I was back on campus, but
Speaker 12: typically when you play, guys are juiced up to the
Speaker 12: ten and you know, and they showed that.
Speaker 2: So let me.
Speaker 12: They showed a valiant effort, so.
Speaker 2: Let me victory. So what years did you play here
Speaker 2: or your own team?
Speaker 12: Two thousand and six to twenty ten? So yep, Stoops.
Speaker 12: Stroops went from losing seasons to three consecutive Bowl games.
Speaker 2: Okay, so be perfect example. So how was how was
Speaker 2: the weekend when you when you lost? And how was
Speaker 2: the weekend when you won?
Speaker 12: Listen, night and day. I will tell you when you lose,
Speaker 12: it is and as specifically I mean highlight because it's
Speaker 12: a little bit different. And this is what I can
Speaker 12: understand from them of losing like multiple weeks in a row.
Speaker 12: When you lose multip weeks or it starts to become morbid,
Speaker 12: because that's like the fan base at the beginning the
Speaker 12: season where the hope is that an all time high
Speaker 12: sort of like when we came into the Big twelve,
Speaker 12: we had all those rankings and people were like, Yeah,
Speaker 12: what's going to finish the top we might win the conference.
Speaker 12: Like that's how players come into each game, like, man,
Speaker 12: I've watched the film. I know what I need to do.
Speaker 12: Let's go get this W. And it's not until the
Speaker 12: final result where you walk out, yeah, head bigger low
Speaker 12: and you're like, damn, we lost again, like and and
Speaker 12: the weekend is not fun man. And so when you win,
Speaker 12: it's like, Hey, the work that we put in, we
Speaker 12: got to see the vision come to life, which is
Speaker 12: at the end of the game, having the victory the W.
Speaker 12: And I think that's what was really sweet and fun
Speaker 12: to see about the guys in that locker room.
Speaker 2: Ask Mike, ask him about the confidence stuff that we
Speaker 2: were talking about earlier and just what it't mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: we were River and I were talking today. I mean,
Speaker 2: of course he's not a believer in momentum, but we
Speaker 2: were talking about him being a believer in confidence. Uh,
Speaker 2: how does how does a how does a win like
Speaker 2: this build your confidence that you can continue? You it
Speaker 2: and then you can continue successes and does that carry over?
Speaker 12: Yeah, So that's a great question. I think when you're
Speaker 12: when you're talking about the confidence aspect, and I highlight
Speaker 12: that the confidence is it's monumental because part of confidence
Speaker 12: is seeing the result. Right, Like, your confidence gets wounded
Speaker 12: slash hurt when the result is unfavorable time and time again. Right,
Speaker 12: But when you have the favorable result, your confidence starts
Speaker 12: to mount because you're going, hey, we're doing the right
Speaker 12: things and the end results of victory. Let's keep second
Speaker 12: on that. And I think that that confidence will be
Speaker 12: good until about kickoff time and Dallas Fort Worth a TCU,
Speaker 12: and then we will have to see what do the
Speaker 12: players have up their sleeve, along with the coaching staff,
Speaker 12: because well, when you start to go any no two
Speaker 12: games are the same, right, So last week they're at home.
Speaker 12: Now they're on the road, having one on the road
Speaker 12: in a long time, and so looking at that, it's
Speaker 12: gonna be an uphill battle. But I think confidence wise,
Speaker 12: they'll be they'll be ready to roll. Now listen TCU
Speaker 12: at TCU and I'm not sure if it's for Senior
Speaker 12: Day or not. It's not gonna be an easy Cask, right,
Speaker 12: So these guys are gonna have to lock in and
Speaker 12: and and my in my opinion, I think the first
Speaker 12: quarter at at at Fort Worth is everything for the Wildcats.
Speaker 12: Not necessarily for TCU, but it is everything for the Wildcats. Like,
Speaker 12: we are gonna have to to your point from the
Speaker 12: confidence and I will dare I use the word the
Speaker 12: M word momentum. We're gonna have to bring that to
Speaker 12: the first quarter of Fort Worth or we are gonna
Speaker 12: be in the heap of trouble.
Speaker 2: Let me let me continue with that confidence thing a
Speaker 2: little bit. Okay, So I miss I misspoke. When we
Speaker 2: were talking to Brian and I mentioned about a complicated playbook,
Speaker 2: what I meant was a complicated game plan. Uh. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Are these are these game plans that they're running. Do
Speaker 2: you think that they're pretty confident or pretty complex? Uh?
Speaker 2: And do you think that the team is kind of
Speaker 2: getting confidence and uh, that the game plans are good
Speaker 2: and that they're that they're buying into that.
Speaker 12: Yeah, So I think that they I think at the
Speaker 12: Division one level, they are certainly complex. And part of
Speaker 12: part of the nuance of being a coach, right is
Speaker 12: most of these coaches have so much of the the
Speaker 12: indoctrination of coaching that they can accidentally make things hard
Speaker 12: for the players, right. I think that's what you heard
Speaker 12: from BB when he said, hey man, we're not seeing
Speaker 12: guys And he didn't say this, but I'm paraphrasing, we're
Speaker 12: not seeing the guys execute on things. And I'm realizing
Speaker 12: that we've made things too complex for these guys, right.
Speaker 12: And so one of the coaches that I don't necessarily
Speaker 12: need a name that you can do the math for
Speaker 12: who it is. One of the things that he had
Speaker 12: a knack for was simplifying the game, and most of
Speaker 12: his defense I can did you not was cover three.
Speaker 12: I mean at the fishing one level, that's like gonna
Speaker 12: heard of it. But that's like, hey man, we're rolling
Speaker 12: when all those flows will run cover three. But you
Speaker 12: know what's impactful about that, Guys know where.
Speaker 2: They're supposed to be.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 12: You get too cute on things and you get guys
Speaker 12: at a position, then you're geting hit over the top
Speaker 12: or like an offense, you have a guy missed his
Speaker 12: assignment because you've made the game too complex. Even at
Speaker 12: the high school level. Something I try to pride myself
Speaker 12: on is like, hey, let's make it simple for the
Speaker 12: guys so they can do what they're called to do
Speaker 12: in terms of athletes, but like, let's let our athletes
Speaker 12: be athletes and not have to do trigger nometry when
Speaker 12: they step on the field and go, well, this guy's
Speaker 12: two yards outside the hash so that triggers this and that. Like, no,
Speaker 12: that's that's over coaching in my opinion.
Speaker 2: So let's let's this is real talk, right, Welcome to
Speaker 2: real talk. So I'm gonna give you things. And I've
Speaker 2: already asked this question twice. I'm gonna ask you now. Okay,
Speaker 2: So we saw the game on Friday. They won the game.
Speaker 2: Was Arizona better good or whatever? Or was Houston just
Speaker 2: not that good?
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a great question. I've seen some people laughably.
Speaker 12: I've seen that people try to discredit Houston, like, excuse me,
Speaker 12: wasn't Houston on a win streak? Didn't they beat a
Speaker 12: team that took us to the woodshed? Like I'm like,
Speaker 12: hey man, I'm like, one of the things that I
Speaker 12: believe is that Arizona got better and that if you're
Speaker 12: in Houston shoes. To be quite honest, you come into
Speaker 12: Tucson and you think it's probably gonna be a walk
Speaker 12: in the park, right, Like, like, hey man, the teams
Speaker 12: that we've beaten are way better than this team. And
Speaker 12: that's what I mean by no two weeks of the same.
Speaker 12: You come into a football game and you go, hey man,
Speaker 12: we're way better than that team, and then you end
Speaker 12: up in a dog player with that team or down.
Speaker 12: And now all of a sudden, they've got the N
Speaker 12: word momentum. And the reason why momentum is important because
Speaker 12: as a collective group, I believe in football there are
Speaker 12: plays that are momentum swingers. And and what I mean
Speaker 12: by that is now everybody is locked in, right and
Speaker 12: so whether it's special teams, defense or offense, like somebody
Speaker 12: managed to play on offense and now the whole defense
Speaker 12: is locked in, and then there's special teams is locked
Speaker 12: in and it's hard to get points or get turnovers
Speaker 12: from a team that's locked in. And so I think
Speaker 12: that's why momentous is important. So I would say definitely
Speaker 12: Arizona got better. I like to play calling, and I
Speaker 12: think that's something that uh people didn't give VB enough credit.
Speaker 12: And I think for some of the season that we
Speaker 12: saw it was real pland and worrisome, but like the
Speaker 12: double passes a few weeks back, that he did set
Speaker 12: it up? Uh, Noah, would he would be touchdown if
Speaker 12: he if my boy didn't drop it. I'm like nobody,
Speaker 12: nobody commented on that. You know why, and I and
Speaker 12: I say this, it's just but it's it's for real.
Speaker 12: It's like, hey man, when people when people aren't losing,
Speaker 12: people got every reason to point the finger and why
Speaker 12: something ain't working. But then when you're winning, they start
Speaker 12: to say all that starts to dissipate. It sort of disappears.
Speaker 12: And so I I think the play call is getting better.
Speaker 12: I think the team's getting better, and I think honestly,
Speaker 12: the coaches are starting to understand what works well with
Speaker 12: the scheme. Now the big question right is, like I
Speaker 12: said earlier, does that transition to fort working. That's what
Speaker 12: everybody wants to.
Speaker 2: Know victory And I gotta tell you You're no longer
Speaker 2: going to be a guest. I'm gonna have to cut
Speaker 2: you off. You use the momentum word one too many times.
Speaker 2: I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't
Speaker 2: like it. But let me ask you this. Let me
Speaker 2: ask you how many games you play you in your game,
Speaker 2: did they was gonna play in your time?
Speaker 12: How many games?
Speaker 2: Fifty total? Maybe?
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2: Okay to say fifty. Okay, So of those fifty, I
Speaker 2: know you guys want and you guys lost. How many
Speaker 2: of those games did you not show up emotionally?
Speaker 12: Oh, that's a good question of not showing up emotionally?
Speaker 12: I would say zero of them.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're joking, because it happens, and you know what does,
Speaker 2: especially when you're away, you can always be on.
Speaker 12: Show up if you're talking about collectively, like you turn
Speaker 12: to Tam to Hayward the team. Yes, yes, I would
Speaker 12: say a great example of that would be when we
Speaker 12: played Stanford at Stanford, we did not we did not
Speaker 12: show up emotionally. Or you could do the the Holiday
Speaker 12: Bowl when we played Nebraska and lost thirty three zero.
Speaker 2: I think that right, right.
Speaker 12: Partly part of what part of what happened in that
Speaker 12: was they made it show up before Christmas, and they
Speaker 12: told us we were going to show up after Christmas,
Speaker 12: and Nebraska showed up after Christmas. But then you also
Speaker 12: had both coordinators who took jobs, so they were kind
Speaker 12: of chilling on and play calling them both ends in
Speaker 12: the week Nebraska.
Speaker 2: Was not Yeah, okay, so Victor my point, and my
Speaker 2: point is that plays a factory in a lot of
Speaker 2: different things. I mean, you kind of said it. It
Speaker 2: does happen. And if anything I've learned in this job
Speaker 2: is emotion plays a huge factor at the college level
Speaker 2: because you don't know what's going on.
Speaker 12: Mind Listen, listen, that's a golden point you're bringing up.
Speaker 12: And I'm gonna to Mattie on this because this is
Speaker 12: what I say. That's why there's elite coaches, right.
Speaker 13: And calle ball.
Speaker 12: They get paid the big bucks because they figure out
Speaker 12: a way to get their team into one loss and
Speaker 12: every so often no losses but one loss seasons or
Speaker 12: two loss season at the max, and that's unheard of
Speaker 12: because of how many weeks in the season you have.
Speaker 12: You see what I'm saying when you say I one
Speaker 12: hundred agree, because it's on the coach at the end
Speaker 12: of the day. If those kids don't want to show up,
Speaker 12: you've done something as a coach that is going to
Speaker 12: be reflected and you getting ultimately fired because people are
Speaker 12: gonna say, hey, they are no longer showing up for you.
Speaker 2: So well, when you say that, I would definitely not Saban,
Speaker 2: Who's we all know is the heck of a good coach,
Speaker 2: and he's brought it up a few times when Tommy's
Speaker 2: talked about it. It's that rat poison stuff. They start believing,
Speaker 2: and you know, people are telling them you're great, you're great,
Speaker 2: and next week's that you're gonna kill them. You're gonna
Speaker 2: kill them, and then guess what, they Okay, we're great,
Speaker 2: and let's we don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 12: Yes, it's like what I what I tell what I
Speaker 12: tell me coaching high school. I tell these guys we're
Speaker 12: the number one seed in six A playoffs.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 12: One of the things I've been stressing to the guys
Speaker 12: is this, Hey, the seedings is fun and all, but
Speaker 12: mainly that's for the fans and that's for a home
Speaker 12: field advantage. But I said, but I'm letting you guys
Speaker 12: know now, those seatings they disappear the moment that clock.
Speaker 5: Starts.
Speaker 12: Soon as it starts, that first quarter starts, the seedings
Speaker 12: is irrelevant when it's zero or when the clock seat
Speaker 12: triple zero. At the end of the game, that's all
Speaker 12: that matters. No one cares what seed you were at
Speaker 12: that point in time, and so to your to your
Speaker 12: point behind, it's like you read these press clips in
Speaker 12: La Man, we're the number one team in the conference.
Speaker 12: Nobody can stand with us. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, And
Speaker 12: then you don't realize that the other team was saying, Hey,
Speaker 12: this is gonna be my last road. I want to
Speaker 12: send the seniors off with a big bang. Let's go
Speaker 12: get this w And that's what happens. I mean, look
Speaker 12: at Kansas, Look at Kansas and BYU that's the part
Speaker 12: em right right.
Speaker 2: We talked about that earlier. Uh and no, and the
Speaker 2: opponent that you're playing, that's the game of the year.
Speaker 2: And and this is these guys aren't better than us.
Speaker 2: You know, we're here for a reason.
Speaker 12: Yep, ye, that's that's what listen, TCU. The worst part
Speaker 12: for for Arizona is that TCU is watching the last
Speaker 12: game against Houston and going, oh, so these guys are
Speaker 12: still playing football right right, So so their guard is
Speaker 12: going to be up. But we are going to have
Speaker 12: to we are gonna have to show out and and
Speaker 12: I believe that it can happen. We're just going to
Speaker 12: have a hell of a game plan and the guys,
Speaker 12: you're ready.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, look at just one more example we've got
Speaker 2: because we've got to go the Oregon game against wonsconsin
Speaker 2: they were just good enough to win that game. But
Speaker 2: same thing, you're number one, You're going into Wisconsin. You're thinking, Okay,
Speaker 2: we can do we heck we got this. Maybe not.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 12: So to your point, I worked in college athletics for
Speaker 12: nine years. I will tell you that when you're talking
Speaker 12: about emotions, team emotion show up at least And this
Speaker 12: is why it's so hard to go defeated for one
Speaker 12: game a year, like collectively like, hey, we are not
Speaker 12: losing this game. And even in the heyday when USC
Speaker 12: was just off of the premiere of being national contenders,
Speaker 12: when they had like was that David Booty or whatever
Speaker 12: the quarterback game was, we would play sc And this
Speaker 12: is this is when we were a five hundred team
Speaker 12: at best, or like we went five and seven, we
Speaker 12: would play SC. I remember we lost to them the
Speaker 12: one year that they were elite. We ten to seventeen. Right,
Speaker 12: They did not score seventeen the rest of the year.
Speaker 12: It was always twenty plus points to the rest of
Speaker 12: the year. Right, And I look at that game as
Speaker 12: a guy on the losing team, going, dude, that's amazing.
Speaker 12: We held SC to seventeen. I said, you know why,
Speaker 12: it's irrelevant though, because they held us to ten. Nobody
Speaker 12: get at that game going shout out to the coaches
Speaker 12: at Arizona the seventeen point right, because they ended with victory.
Speaker 12: But we showed up emotionally because we knew that if
Speaker 12: you don't show up for SC they might hang one
Speaker 12: hundred on you way back when. So to your point
Speaker 12: about the programs, that's exactly what these guys got to do.
Speaker 2: The show up.
Speaker 12: We hit week out.
Speaker 2: Victor, we'll talk to you again soon, maybe before the
Speaker 2: ASU game or whatever. Thanks a bunch, Yeah, thanks a bunch.
Speaker 12: Yes, appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks to Victor, y Yeah, good stuff, good stuff

Speaker 2: that five hundred bucks? You would have to be on
Speaker 2: the first level if I was the first first twenty
Speaker 2: five rows or whatever that rose. Yeah, you know, if
Speaker 2: it was way up there and something like that. But
Speaker 2: if if it's ta geting up there is like for
Speaker 2: three hundred up, yeah, probably probably be possible that I'd
Speaker 2: want to do that. Yeah, it's gonna be. They're gonna be.
Speaker 2: They're going for a lot of money. I'm sure they're
Speaker 2: going for a lot of money. There's people that are dying.

Speaker 2: sleep that reducing ducking Yeah, if anybody wants to call,
Speaker 2: what's the price? What's the price of fame? There in
Speaker 2: the Arizona game, Like you said, later in the season,
Speaker 2: you know, tournament time, I mean yeah, I mean I
Speaker 2: pay more than that for to go to a tournament,
Speaker 2: you know. And I talk about loot a lot because
Speaker 2: that's what I cover. But he paid North Carolina late
Speaker 2: in the year. Uh, the other schools, Kansas, you know,
Speaker 2: mid not in the beginning, but later in the year.
Speaker 2: So it was, you know, kind of like a made
Speaker 2: for TV type of situation, a lot of fun rivalry. Yeah,
Speaker 2: those things later in the year. You know, you start
Speaker 2: playing in February. Those games, those games matter, Yeah, a
Speaker 2: lot more. No matter more, no matter more, matter Moore,
Speaker 2: you know a little bit more about your team. You know,
Speaker 2: this is the team we have this you know, we
Speaker 2: still don't know the team that ares on a head
Speaker 2: team that Wisconsin. Let me say this because I'm guilty
Speaker 2: of it, and I'm very guilty of it. I really
Speaker 2: like this team. Nothing's changed, nothing's changed, because they can go,
Speaker 2: they can they can lay an egg like they did
Speaker 2: last last week again and again, yeah and again. But
Speaker 2: I still like this. This team because it has all
Speaker 2: the pieces to be a pretty good team. The problem, Mike,
Speaker 2: if I can't beat you ten out of ten or
Speaker 2: nine out of ten, or I takes guess what, you're
Speaker 2: better than me. Yeah, you just better than me, right,
Speaker 2: But I will tell you that. You know, there were
Speaker 2: times that team really looked good that night, yeah, against Wisconsin,
Speaker 2: when they were when they went on that run, they
Speaker 2: went on that run, they looked like they were they
Speaker 2: were a good team. They were in sanc they were
Speaker 2: playing good ball, they were playing defense. Uh. And then
Speaker 2: they kind of stopped doing that, they got tired or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: but you know they put together more good stuff like that.
Speaker 2: One of the things that people don't understand. And you
Speaker 2: know this because you've been on the road a time
Speaker 2: or two. Uh, it's tough to win on the road.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, sure. I'm not making alibis for
Speaker 2: the guys. Got I don't need to make alibis for
Speaker 2: Tommy because he makes a lot of money. This is
Speaker 2: his job. But you know, I've been to all these
Speaker 2: places and it's tough to win on the road, just
Speaker 2: as it is when the people come here, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: those kids in the stands are not going to make
Speaker 2: it easy on you. No, no, And those aren't your baskets. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean those aren't your baskets. You're playing a new,
Speaker 2: new place. It looks different, the views different, you've traveled,
Speaker 2: and the team is pretty darn good too. Wisconsin. It's
Speaker 2: funny for my for the Loop book that I did recently. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Mike Montgomery, did you read it or you just oh no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I read. I read the whole thing. Okay, So Mike,
Speaker 2: all theirs they were like, you should have probably had
Speaker 2: that edited. Get the that's that's that's the first bad
Speaker 2: thing I've heard about the book. That was a great book.
Speaker 2: I loved it. I mean, I know we're putting a
Speaker 2: plug in right now. It's shameless. Yeah, but it was
Speaker 2: a great book. Really. I enjoyed it a lot. Okay,
Speaker 2: so thank you for the update after clarifying. But Mike
Speaker 2: Montgomery said, you know, playing at tu Son, He says, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, how tough was it playing here? He they
Speaker 2: want here as a number two, number number two in
Speaker 2: the country. It was going to storm the court. I
Speaker 2: think it was when there were two. I think I
Speaker 2: don't think there were one. H It was on a
Speaker 2: storm the court at their home court when they beat Stafford.
Speaker 2: That never happens, right, the last time that happened forever? Sure?
Speaker 2: Uh And he says, you know, I said, how difficult
Speaker 2: was he playing in Tucson? Yet he says, you know, Steve, Uh,
Speaker 2: it wasn't about Michale. McHale is Michale because they always
Speaker 2: had good teams. Yeah right, yeah, you know there's always
Speaker 2: that Yeah, yeah, yeah, people don't talk about that just
Speaker 2: I mean, you could have a really bad team and
Speaker 2: they have a good atmosphere and it won't matter. It
Speaker 2: won't matter, right, right, He says, you know, we had
Speaker 2: good teams, but they had very good teams. It wasn't
Speaker 2: just about McHale. You know, it was about you know,
Speaker 2: Richard Jefferson, and it was Mike Bibie. These dudes you're
Speaker 2: was coming was reloading? Sure? Sure, And how do you
Speaker 2: find a way to beat them? Yeah? That's and that's
Speaker 2: the other you know, that's that's when Mkale got to
Speaker 2: be a tough place to play. Yeah, you know, it
Speaker 2: kind of goes hand in hand there. You know, you
