Speaker 1: This is High on the Ball with Steve Rivera and
Speaker 1: Jay Gonzalez on Fox Sports fourteenth fifty. Subscribe now to
Speaker 1: the podcast on the iHeartRadio while just surgery I on
Speaker 1: the Ball.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to I on the Ball here on
Speaker 2: Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, He's Jay. Now we
Speaker 2: have Ryan with breaking news.
Speaker 3: That thing hasn't been working for a while, right, and
Speaker 3: I don't know what the deal is and those we're
Speaker 3: leaving it must know.
Speaker 2: What we're leaving.
Speaker 3: Because of that, because of that, we can't get play.
Speaker 3: Our breaking news thing makes me mad.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's get right into it. Starting with Arizona men's basketball.
Speaker 4: They've officially finalized a multi year series with UCLA starting
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. First game is on Soper fourteenth at
Speaker 4: the Footprint Center in Phoenix, and then they'll meet again
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty five at the Hall of Fame Series
Speaker 4: in Las Vegas at the Team Over Arena, and then
Speaker 4: again in twenty twenty seven in Los Angeles site to
Speaker 4: be determined.
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about this already.
Speaker 3: It's just spent a well, yeah, I mean they had
Speaker 3: said that they were working on this and it looked
Speaker 3: like it was gonna happen, but it's official.
Speaker 2: Not Yeah, which is which is one of the no
Speaker 2: brainers that they didn't screw up.
Speaker 3: Well, I want to know why they're not playing it
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six, right, because they got in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four, twenty twenty five and then twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Why aren't you playing in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this because Bill from Yesterday's gonna just say, well, Steve,
Speaker 2: you fans you want everything, don't you.
Speaker 5: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: But it's a good question. It's a good question. Why
Speaker 2: skip a year?
Speaker 3: Why are we? Yeah, why are you skipping?
Speaker 2: There must be like some kind of maybe they're playing
Speaker 2: or Arizona's gonna play something scheduled. I don't know, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, There could be.
Speaker 3: Well, somebody needs to tell us why they're not playing
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six. No one's basic reporting, Steve, no
Speaker 3: one's asking the question. Basic reporting question. You know, you
Speaker 3: get an automatic E in journalism in your journalism class
Speaker 3: for not having that fact in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if they're not played, because well, Jay, they're
Speaker 2: not playing.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, anyways, I'm glad they're playing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's no brain everyb he is. And yes, you do
Speaker 3: wish you could do you do it twice a year,
Speaker 3: but you're not going to do that. They've got, you know,
Speaker 3: other things that got a schedule. But the fact you
Speaker 3: continue now that the whole thing about not playing it
Speaker 3: on either campus, Yeah, it is kind of crappy.
Speaker 2: Well, this is fair. I guess they're gonna have one
Speaker 2: off nearby ucil A. They don't, this is what you silly.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're played at Staples or they played in
Speaker 3: the View in the New Slippers Arena.
Speaker 2: That's going to be the venue for the Olympics. It
Speaker 2: should be a lot of fun. Yeah, but at least
Speaker 2: you get Ucilly and and you don't get Kansas right
Speaker 2: in Phoenix. Yeah, so I guess there's that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and and when you do play those games too,
Speaker 3: other fans get to go to the games and and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. The vague the one in Vegas will
Speaker 3: be interesting to see, you.
Speaker 2: Know, you know what following Arizona, did they have a
Speaker 2: date for that or did they just said when the
Speaker 2: win for the first one Vegas said that'll be that'll
Speaker 2: be exciting to watch every game that we've seen them
Speaker 2: in Vegas Pac twelve, but in another one, yeah, has
Speaker 2: been very good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So again you know, no brainer, right, I mean, just
Speaker 3: made all the sense in the world. Uh, you know,
Speaker 3: and and you hope that that that it goes beyond that, right,
Speaker 3: that it's just a regular thing. Those two teams are
Speaker 3: gonna play each other every year.
Speaker 2: Well, I think the one matchup thing you want to
Speaker 2: see is that I don't think will ever happen is
Speaker 2: Arizona Zega.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, but that wouldn't that would be in
Speaker 3: the media attention you would get from that national attention.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be fun. It'd be fun, but it
Speaker 2: won't happen.
Speaker 4: Switching over to Arizona softball, they have hired former as
Speaker 4: a s U star Amber Freeman as the assistant head coach.
Speaker 4: They lost Josh Bloomer to.
Speaker 3: Issue right in July traded coaches with them.
Speaker 2: Yeah right. There was some issues with the last I
Speaker 2: can't remember what it was I heard, but he's up
Speaker 2: there now and she's down here.
Speaker 3: Did they shake each other's job? I mean it's not
Speaker 3: why I think so.
Speaker 2: I think so. Someone who covers the team would no
Speaker 2: bitther a player to be named later.
Speaker 3: In this deal, or a bag of softballs or something
Speaker 3: added on gas considerations. And that's interesting. Okay, all right, all.
Speaker 2: Right, switch over to the NFL.
Speaker 4: Some injury news. The tenth overall pick for the Vikings,
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy, excuse me, is going to be sidelined for
Speaker 4: a little while. He had a tear in his meniscus
Speaker 4: on his right knee. They're still trying to determine if
Speaker 4: it's something they can just kind of trim the meniscus
Speaker 4: where you can return this season or if you guys
Speaker 4: has to have a four pair and he'll be sidelined
Speaker 4: until next year.
Speaker 3: Tenth pick in the draft. That just blows. That just sucks.
Speaker 6: One.
Speaker 2: You played one game.
Speaker 3: That's the way it is.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: There it was a very a very cool thing. I
Speaker 3: think it was who said this? I can't remember who
Speaker 3: said one of the NFL coaches and I don't know
Speaker 3: if it was it was a ganning up in Phoenix.
Speaker 3: One of the one of the NFL head coaches said
Speaker 3: this is what because there's all these teams that they're
Speaker 3: they're practicing against other teams. Maybe maybe it was the
Speaker 3: who what who had a big brawl among their own plays.
Speaker 2: It was the fields. It wasn't uh Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: And the and and the coach said maybe it was
Speaker 3: Tomlin who said, whoever was the head coach of this
Speaker 3: team said this year?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, said said today or or in the last day.
Speaker 3: He said, here's what's gonna happen. If you're a starter
Speaker 3: and you get in a fight in practice, you have
Speaker 3: to play the whole preseason game. You're not because these
Speaker 3: guys like they take the day off, right, you got
Speaker 3: to play the whole game. And if you're not a
Speaker 3: starter and you get in a fight, you don't get
Speaker 3: to play. So both either one of those is a punishment.
Speaker 3: You know, these guys star as they go in. They
Speaker 3: play two series, then they're out and they go, you know,
Speaker 3: jack around with their buddies, and they're on social media
Speaker 3: in the whole bit, and obviously the non starters they're
Speaker 3: trying to prove themselves. I thought that was a really
Speaker 3: interesting thing, you know, for him to say, for that
Speaker 3: to be the approach that say, Okay, if you guys
Speaker 3: gonna be screwing up in practice like this, this is
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen. That was pretty cool.
Speaker 4: So I found it right here. So it was the
Speaker 4: Patriots Drod Mayo. Okay, yeah, says if you're if you're
Speaker 4: a starter who gets into the skirmish, you're going to
Speaker 4: plan on playing the long preseason game ahead. If you're
Speaker 4: a backup competing for a job, you're going to lose
Speaker 4: an opportunity.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Okay, So we have a fact checker out there in
Speaker 2: the real world. Uh, he's not Ted Nugent, He's Pat Nugent.
Speaker 3: That one.
Speaker 2: It was Richard Sis's not Richard Lopez. And Amber played it.
Speaker 2: Played at a issue. She came from Georgia. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: so she was he was wasn't a co an issue,
Speaker 2: she put it. That's what she played it. Way to go, Victor,
Speaker 2: Thanks man, Thanks Victory. We need a fact checker.
Speaker 3: We need to fact check the fact checker over here.
Speaker 3: Come on, man, So go Ryan, get on it.
Speaker 2: Don't We can't lose him, don't be.
Speaker 3: Since we talked about since we talked about the Western
Speaker 3: Division and Nation League Western Division race. Yes, Mookie Bets
Speaker 3: came back last night, hit a homer and knocked in
Speaker 3: a run. So now he had three RBIs with a homer,
Speaker 3: and a single. Uh look bad striking out as first
Speaker 3: as bat, but then he went yard and uh and
Speaker 3: uh had a nice game and the Dodgers. The Dodgers
Speaker 3: beat the Brewers, but the damn Diamondbacks one again came
Speaker 3: came back to beat the Rockies, who just absolutely positively
Speaker 3: suck and they sucked it again last night. And then
Speaker 3: all three teams in the Nation League West Race won,
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, the Padres, and the and the those damn Diamondbacks.
Speaker 4: Don't forget the Giants, dude, they're trying to. Giants are
Speaker 4: gonna make it. But giants are starting to kind of
Speaker 4: yea heat up a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2: So anyways, but.
Speaker 3: MOOKI looked good. Show, Hey went yard. He had hit
Speaker 3: an opposite field homer up into those like the picnic
Speaker 3: area beyond the field, opposite field.
Speaker 2: He must have stayed in that airbnb and slept well. Look,
Speaker 2: we talked about that yesterday. Yeah, so so another fact
Speaker 2: check another Mike, Mike, one of my buddies said that
Speaker 2: Arizona and the Zags are in the Bahama Tournament.
Speaker 3: To get Okay, so there's a chance.
Speaker 2: You're saying there's a chance, Yeah, that'd be fun. Get
Speaker 2: our flights right now, boo book.
Speaker 3: Remember that last time Arizona was in the Bahamasare disaster
Speaker 3: was a complete disaster. I lost so much money on
Speaker 3: those guys because we were in Vegas that weekend.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, you don't weeks before Luke saying this could
Speaker 2: be the best team. Right, Look who they add on
Speaker 2: the team. And then they go and lose the first game,
Speaker 2: so that won't happen. They lose the second game, but
Speaker 2: then I think they lost they lost three three, Well
Speaker 2: there were number four in the country, I think something
Speaker 2: like that, and boom, and that was the beginning of
Speaker 2: the end of that season, right because all hell broke
Speaker 2: throughout that.
Speaker 3: Well, that was that thing where you know, I bet
Speaker 3: on him to win the first game and then they
Speaker 3: lose it. Okay, well they're not gonna lose two in
Speaker 3: a row, you know, coming out of the box. They
Speaker 3: don't do that. And then they lost against it. Well,
Speaker 3: now they're really not good. I bet more on the
Speaker 3: third game than I did.
Speaker 7: You gave that that.
Speaker 3: There's no way they lose all three.
Speaker 2: It must be positive. That guy was listening to the
Speaker 2: show today.
Speaker 3: She was no, no, she wouldn't have been there that.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about, I'm talking about today.
Speaker 3: No, in fact, I think she was there with us,
Speaker 3: and I think she saw she saw every bit of
Speaker 3: that your frustration. Yeah, yeah, I lost. I'm gonna bet more.
Speaker 3: I was chasing big time. Yeah, that was a bad weekend.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a chance. I'm not sure what the
Speaker 2: bracket looks like, but thanks Mike for that.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know, they're gonna do everything they can you
Speaker 3: get those two teams to play each other, although I
Speaker 3: don't know. Maybe they wanted to play in a championship game, right,
Speaker 3: so they're gonna put them opposite brackets. But that's always
Speaker 3: a good tournament. It's hard, it's hard to win that.
Speaker 2: Let me give you the other teams, Davison, Indiana, Louisville, Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: Providence in West Virginia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, see, that's that's hard to set that up because
Speaker 3: any of those teams can win, can win that thing.
Speaker 3: But maybe they'll try and get an early matchup between
Speaker 3: the two of them so that they get that game,
Speaker 3: because you know they'll they'll promo the hell out of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Mike. All you need to do is start
Speaker 2: advertising on my show. Now, it's all I need to
Speaker 2: say so now again, It's all gonna be fun, Steve.
Speaker 3: I mean you know, I mean we're gonna start football
Speaker 3: and then basketball is gonna be coming right on the
Speaker 3: heels of that. Yeah right. I mean the first game
Speaker 3: is the first week in November.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people who were lamenting the
Speaker 2: demise of the Pac twelve are gonna be very happy
Speaker 2: to see the teams coming in and the teams you're
Speaker 2: play and it's all different, and it's gonna be fun
Speaker 2: and not just and not just football and basketball, softball, baseball,
Speaker 2: it's the Big Twolves. Different. It's just different. And I
Speaker 2: think we talked about this with you tomorrows yesterday. Uh
Speaker 2: is that is that? It's it's no, it's not finesse,
Speaker 2: it's in anything pretty much. Yeah, it's it's they eat
Speaker 2: meat and they they're tough ball. It's not a it's
Speaker 2: a grinding it's a grinding game.
Speaker 3: And do you see the other I think it was
Speaker 3: last week, uh Deon Sanders and oh he was crapping
Speaker 3: all over the two media guys over there.
Speaker 2: That was that was fun in a sad way because
Speaker 2: I'm glad I'm not part of that. Yeah, but I'm
Speaker 2: sure Brian how it was just kind of watching and
Speaker 2: because the Denver guys took it just because you were
Speaker 2: affiliated with CBS Sports, you got crapped on. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: had no part of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a bit strange.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Let me ask you. Okay,
Speaker 2: So your coach, your desiree or your gym live and good,
Speaker 2: or you're whomever you're you're one of these big time
Speaker 2: deities and your coach is doing this. Coach is doing this,
Speaker 2: and it's it's snarky, it's sturdy, and and then we've
Speaker 2: seen it before. We had the basketball coach that would
Speaker 2: do you at some points that turn.
Speaker 3: It down a little, fire him. I'm the better one,
Speaker 3: right Okay, but you know, yes, you say, look, this
Speaker 3: is about more than you. Now, you're not no the
Speaker 3: ad at Colorado's and they're gonna go to Deon Sander
Speaker 3: sure and tell him that and only Dion sand I'm
Speaker 3: not saying he's getting away with it because the media
Speaker 3: is all over him for this, but he is going
Speaker 3: to get away with it because he's Deon Sanders, Colorado, Colorado.
Speaker 3: But if if all of a sudden, Brent Brennan starts
Speaker 3: crapping on the news media, and you're Desiree and you're
Speaker 3: out there trying to raise money for this program and
Speaker 3: get people to love the program and put their money
Speaker 3: behind it. You're gonna have that conversation with us, Like
Speaker 3: the now brand, Brent's not the guy who's gonna fight
Speaker 3: with the news media. Right. He probably didn't even read.
Speaker 3: But for the most part what people write. Deon Sanders
Speaker 3: cares what people think about.
Speaker 2: Oh sure, sure, it's the uh who's the guy, thee,
Speaker 2: the god. I see his face at the World Series.
Speaker 2: He dumped the water on him because he didn't like
Speaker 2: what he said during the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Macarver macarver. Ye, Tim McCarver, And that's kind of that's
Speaker 3: kind of who he is. Yeah, so yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: it's it's like this wouldn't this wouldn't happen. There aren't
Speaker 3: any other coaches that this is gonna happen with. In
Speaker 3: terms of I'm not answering your questions because something one
Speaker 3: of the people from your organization wrote about us.
Speaker 2: To me, it's one. To me, it's silly. Uh, you
Speaker 2: know who cares you? You make a lot of money,
Speaker 2: and you do who you are, you are. What does
Speaker 2: it matter that he picks you twelfth and fifteenth or
Speaker 2: whatever it was fifteen out of sixteen. Okay, I'll prove
Speaker 2: them wrong.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, another thing, But if if.
Speaker 3: You were an A D, you have to say something, Steve,
Speaker 3: because I totally agree, you absolutely have to, because you
Speaker 3: have to say, look, you know, we're trying to you know,
Speaker 3: we're trying to do all these things that help you
Speaker 3: with your program. We out there, we're trying to raise money,
Speaker 3: we're trying to make friends, we're trying to you know,
Speaker 3: we're trying to get people to like our program and
Speaker 3: support our program. And you're screwing it up.
Speaker 2: Don't you think it could backfire? And I say that
Speaker 2: because he could take his ball and go home, or
Speaker 2: he can say, hell with you, I only got one
Speaker 2: more year left anyway, Yeah, hell with you. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: do what I do.
Speaker 3: Well, then fine, and then you go. Then you say,
Speaker 3: then I want you to leave after this year?
Speaker 2: Go on, Well guess what I'm going to do that anywhere? Yeah?

Speaker 1: Steve Ravera and Jacob Salaz they have their eye on
Speaker 1: the ball on Tucson's sports station set Fox Sports fourteen fifty.
Speaker 2: Hey, welcome back to Ian Ball here on Fox Sports
Speaker 2: fourteen fifty of Steve. He's Jake, you're Ryan. You have
Speaker 2: sixteen minutes, no gifts, so we can take a call
Speaker 2: for four here in the segment. Just give this call
Speaker 2: five too old, four one, six, seventy four to forty.
Speaker 2: We'd appreciate it.
Speaker 3: I'm just reading then getting back to this is Deon
Speaker 3: Sanders thing. Apparently there's a lot of speculation, but one
Speaker 3: of the things that they're speculating is this has some
Speaker 3: to do with him and CBS when he was a
Speaker 3: an analyst and you know, on some of the on
Speaker 3: their studio shows and stuff like that, and the deal
Speaker 3: that didn't come through that was supposed to come through,
Speaker 3: and that's why he's mad at CBS Sports, and they're
Speaker 3: saying it's just it's a it's an educated guest and
Speaker 3: somebody who's allegedly has some background and knowledge with Sanders
Speaker 3: saying it's not about a writer for CBS Sports saying
Speaker 3: he was the second to the worst head coach in
Speaker 3: the Big twelve because Dean Sanders doesn't give a crap
Speaker 3: about that, which I kind of disagree with with you,
Speaker 3: but that it has more to do with some media
Speaker 3: deal that he was trying to do with CBS that
Speaker 3: got screwed up how many years ago, well before he
Speaker 3: started coaching.
Speaker 2: So in my grudge list, Dion j and me apparently.
Speaker 3: So I'm just again, I just read that real quickly,
Speaker 3: and that's what it sounds like. So that people again
Speaker 3: it's it's it's it's all speculation in his opinion, but
Speaker 3: that's you know, somebody's somebody who allegedly knows a bit
Speaker 3: about Dion Sanders said that.
Speaker 2: So anyways, yeah, kind of okay, maybe maybe maybe not.
Speaker 2: It's just just coach and just coaching. But guys like that,
Speaker 2: you remember, you remember lut right nineteen ninety four. Uh,
Speaker 2: he took the team to the final four, but but
Speaker 2: right before that he was taking a lot of heat
Speaker 2: because of the first round of first two or thirty three. Uh,
Speaker 2: there was a chance that they could get beat They didn't.
Speaker 2: They got to the final four with Damon and Kalid
Speaker 2: and the rest of them. And he came back from
Speaker 2: that and he was pretty high on himself or and
Speaker 2: Loot's always that guy. He's the confident guy walking in
Speaker 2: the room. He tells Greg and Cindy and some of
Speaker 2: those guys and I was on coming team. I know
Speaker 2: more about basketball and my little pinky than you'll ever know.
Speaker 2: And and that's kind of an uncomfortable situation and a
Speaker 2: guy something that Luke never had to tell me. But
Speaker 2: he's this guy. He's this guy. But he had to
Speaker 2: get that in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it kind of you know, to me, I'm
Speaker 3: not Kevin Lehman, but to me, that's a that's a
Speaker 3: clear sign of some level of insecurity or something.
Speaker 2: Well, after two years of being pooped on, right, I
Speaker 2: mean that was his you know, so there so there here.
Speaker 3: Well he sort of did that. It's Steve at the
Speaker 3: at the at the eighty eight after they beat North
Speaker 3: Carolina to get to the final right, because in his
Speaker 3: press conference after that, he was basically saying, what do
Speaker 3: you think of its now?
Speaker 2: Kind of thing? You know, was not because we just
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year when no one thought
Speaker 2: they do this.
Speaker 3: Right, he said, we just beat North Carolina to get
Speaker 3: to the final four. You guys, you know, you guys,
Speaker 3: because they at that point they were thirty five and two, okay,
Speaker 3: and people were still saying your league sucks, So that's
Speaker 3: why you're thirty five and two. It's not because you're
Speaker 3: all that good, right, And and and then that this
Speaker 3: stuff started early.
Speaker 2: I mean I remember it wasn't because it didn't didn't
Speaker 2: continue from eighty five when they lost.
Speaker 3: Right, So this was all about that that the Pack
Speaker 3: Pac ten at the time was really bad at that time. Okay,
Speaker 3: the year before, Arizona and UCLA were the only teams
Speaker 3: to get in the NCAA tournament. Ucla was a champion,
Speaker 3: and Arizona got in and then lost a first round
Speaker 3: game at home. But through the and it kind of
Speaker 3: started with you remember the first thing they played was
Speaker 3: the the the Great Alaska Shootout and they and they
Speaker 3: beat you. They beat Syracuse in the championship games. Syracuse
Speaker 3: had been in the National Championship Game the year before,
Speaker 3: and Jim Beheim in his post game press conference said,
Speaker 3: let's wait and see how good these guys are at
Speaker 3: the end of the year. Because they're all seniors and
Speaker 3: so they're they're ahead of everybody. I don't see them
Speaker 3: improving over the course of the year. And I think
Speaker 3: that set I think Luke stuck that one in his
Speaker 3: in his hip pocket and said I'm gonna remember this
Speaker 3: because it was sort of a mantra for him all along.
Speaker 3: But again, the big the Pack ten was terrible that year.
Speaker 3: If only two teams got in right, and they were
Speaker 3: beating you know, they were beating teams by Pack ten
Speaker 3: teams by forty points. It was an a And so
Speaker 3: people said, you built your record on a crappy on
Speaker 3: a on a out of a crappy conference, and Luth
Speaker 3: basically said, okay. Then you know, people thought they were
Speaker 3: going to lose the seat in Hall, then they thought
Speaker 3: they were gonna lose to Iowa, and then they thought
Speaker 3: they were gonna lose to North Carolina, and they they
Speaker 3: beat the crap out of all three of those teams,
Speaker 3: and he was kind of like, Okay, what do you
Speaker 3: think of us now? And I think fine, I think
Speaker 3: it At that point people kind of got them, Okay,
Speaker 3: maybe these guys are really good. And then they went
Speaker 3: and lost and you know at the final four. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but that was that was a magical team. Yes, it
Speaker 3: just was. But but again it was lou kind of
Speaker 3: poking at people should poked at him, which he would do.
Speaker 2: And that's neither that's not neither here nor there. It's
Speaker 2: it's just how it turned out.
Speaker 3: Like the time, that remember that I think was he
Speaker 3: was yelling at was that Javia Morales. He was yelling
Speaker 3: at it and got recorded and no, no, no, that
Speaker 3: was that was he was yelling at somebody's saying, you're
Speaker 3: trying to get me fired. I'm like, yeah, no, nobody
Speaker 3: can get you fired.
Speaker 2: That's a different story. Yeah, no, that's a different story
Speaker 2: when I we'll get into but we'll talk about it later. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Homier was there. I was there. It was just a
Speaker 2: confusing time. I'm back in ninety six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but again, there was always just this little
Speaker 3: bit of insecurity that he had, you know, and the
Speaker 3: whole thing with him and Greg Hanson and stuff was like, dude,
Speaker 3: you are large and in charge in Tucson, Arizona. Why
Speaker 3: are you worried about anything that anybody else says?
Speaker 2: I do think. I do think though, that it started well,
Speaker 2: it started early, and I was fairly close to loud
Speaker 2: at the end. Was the the uniform stuff. Yeah, when
Speaker 2: they yes, when they screwed him, Yeah, and they were
Speaker 2: wrong and they were wrong to admit they're wrong, and
Speaker 2: that's when it started.
Speaker 3: That's why I became a sports writer when I did.
Speaker 3: But the two guys that got fired. I took one
Speaker 3: of the I got one of the jobs of those
Speaker 3: diamond rich diamond who got fired, I got I got
Speaker 3: his job. Okay, well I might feel that that position,
Speaker 3: but uh in eighty five, well yeah, yeah, yep, I was.
Speaker 3: I was covering the courthouse at the time.
Speaker 2: A little different.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was a lot different. Yeah that was a
Speaker 3: lot different.
Speaker 13: But no.
Speaker 3: But but getting back to that, I just he he
Speaker 3: always had a little bit of that. No matter how
Speaker 3: great people told him he was, there was a little
Speaker 3: piece of him and maybe it was in his upbringing
Speaker 3: or something like that that he that he kind of
Speaker 3: always thought, there's somebody out there who doesn't think I'm great.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that when you become that guy at
Speaker 2: that level. The nick Sabans who didn't didn't you know,
Speaker 2: would kind of go back and forth with the media
Speaker 2: and said this is what I am, blah blah blah. Uh.
Speaker 2: Some of those you know, the the Jimbo Fishers. Yes,
Speaker 2: you don't want that. You don't think you deserve that,
Speaker 2: even because you won a lot of games, you want
Speaker 2: a lot of titles, and you're thinking, you know what,
Speaker 2: what does Steve know? Like, you know what is j
Speaker 2: no what is greg Nor trying to tell me this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I hear and and it's yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: I just it's a it's a strange thing because the
Speaker 3: dude was legend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's well I think they have a statue
Speaker 2: for him, brother, there is there is one.
Speaker 3: Do you have a statue? In my mind, I don't
Speaker 3: even have a bobblehead. Well, I do actually have a bobblehead.
Speaker 2: Oh it looks like me. How big is that head?
Speaker 3: It's a George Lopez bobble but you know, he's sort
Speaker 3: of my doppel game.
Speaker 2: And he probably looks more like you in the George
Speaker 2: Lopez forum then you look like you, because yeah, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I'll show you a picture of the damn bobblehead. It
Speaker 3: looks just it does when my sister gave it to
Speaker 3: me as a as a as a as a Christmas kin.
Speaker 3: She was working at THEIRS on the Republic and she
Speaker 3: worked in the in the arts and entertainment and George
Speaker 3: bobble Head got sent to their thing and she and
Speaker 3: she got it. She said, that's my brother, But it
Speaker 3: looks like she gave it to me. And when I
Speaker 3: opened I remember opening it thinking, who had a bobblehead
Speaker 3: made of me? Why would you do that?
Speaker 2: Well, you better age better than he has.
Speaker 3: Man, he looks bad.
Speaker 2: He looks his face is kind of distorted, like yeah,
Speaker 2: you could like you could bury things in his face.
Speaker 2: Said letters to j that to be sorry, Bill, I'm
Speaker 2: not being better Bill.
Speaker 3: Well, you know he's he's bringing he's bringing our image down.
Speaker 3: What the Lopez is because people say that, people say
Speaker 3: that I look like Yeah, they look like him. I said,
Speaker 3: I don't look like him anymore. Man, I look way
Speaker 3: better than that.
Speaker 2: You have to say kind of their hair kind of bristle,
Speaker 2: the bristol kind of hair that this hard.
Speaker 3: One time, at several years a lot of years ago,
Speaker 3: somebody sent me side by side picture, you know, a bus,
Speaker 3: which one is Jane, which one is George.
Speaker 2: And it was the one who drugs the silverado silver
Speaker 2: kind of funny okay uh. And so there was that.
Speaker 2: So the thing I think will be played out more.
Speaker 2: We'll see because he was projected to win four games
Speaker 2: and that's part of the two. But they don't think
Speaker 2: Kylie of this season three pretty good.
Speaker 3: Players, well again, yeah, he's got he's got three alleged
Speaker 3: first round draft picks, and people are still saying they're
Speaker 3: only going to win four or five games. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, how's that gonna fly?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see, well, we'll see if the honeymoon's over. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but that won't be the last we see of the
Speaker 2: confrontation back and forth with them mediate whomever it is.
Speaker 2: You know, because we how on just maybe a month ago. Right,
Speaker 2: he says, no, it's not that it's not that bad.
Speaker 2: Last year we were thinking, well are you looking forward.
Speaker 3: To this year? And right? And does it get worse
Speaker 3: if all of a sudden his team is an isn't
Speaker 3: any good? I mean they can lose their first three games,
Speaker 3: all right, they're non conference games. They can lose them
Speaker 3: all Oh not, no, one's a conference. No, they're all
Speaker 3: non conference games. They opened dort to Kota State, which
Speaker 3: they can lose. Then they go then they play Colorado
Speaker 3: State neutral psyche game, which they went into like how
Speaker 3: many overtimes last year and Colorado State actually had a beat,
Speaker 3: and then they got Nebraska. There's a reasonable chance they
Speaker 3: can be zero and three coming out of the box.
Speaker 3: Then again, if they win all three. Now people are
Speaker 3: talking about going crazy again, like they like they like
Speaker 3: they did last year. Yeah, you know, but it can
Speaker 3: all go south in a hurry, and if it does,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be interesting to see how he handles that,
Speaker 3: because again, you know, he's got he's got this guy
Speaker 3: that they say is a first round draft pick at
Speaker 3: quarterback and and and his kid. Well, if your first
Speaker 3: round draft pick, you need to be better than a
Speaker 3: four win.
Speaker 2: Team, Well you think you think that would be the case,
Speaker 2: but you need people around you.
Speaker 3: I mean, you see all the all the promos for
Speaker 3: college football. There was a there was a video that uh,
Speaker 3: I think ESPN did the other day, and and Shador
Speaker 3: Sanders and Travis Hunter are in it like four times each.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I didn't see all Fafita in there, right,
Speaker 3: I didn't see Team AC in there. And I think
Speaker 3: both of those guys are better than both of the
Speaker 3: Colorado Yeah.
Speaker 2: In fact, part of the Joe Class is Joe Class.
Speaker 2: Joe Class says that they could possibly be the best
Speaker 2: quarterback receiver tandem right country.
Speaker 3: And and and then you know, and you want to
Speaker 3: talk about is Arizona overrated or underrated? Who's overrated? Colorado's
Speaker 3: overrated because he these guys, you know. I'm sure when
Speaker 3: the you know that ESPN intro We're coming to your
Speaker 3: city comes on for game day, those guys are going
Speaker 3: to be in it all over the place. I'll be
Speaker 3: surprised if we see an Arizona guy in there, because
Speaker 3: we never see Arizona in that. But you know who
Speaker 3: went to who won ten games last year and who
Speaker 3: won four?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Right, so I don't We'll see what We'll see how that,
Speaker 3: how that turns out.
Speaker 2: If you want to call, please do we have about
Speaker 2: four minutes left in this segment five two zero four
Speaker 2: one six seventy four forty. I don't know if I
Speaker 2: saw that blink the light blink or not.
Speaker 3: I looked. I'm just looking at the thing that came
Speaker 3: across on Twitter a little bit ago. Dallas Cowboys the
Speaker 3: first sports franchise who could be valued at more than
Speaker 3: ten billions.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't see the story, but I figured that
Speaker 2: would be the number ten billion dollars. And how holds
Speaker 2: Jimmy Jones, Garry Jones like one, Jimmy Jones, Jesus, Eve,
Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnny, everybody, Jimmy, Johnny Sanchez, what's Google?
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones?
Speaker 2: I think he's eighty something's something, and some people I
Speaker 2: know in Dallas think that he'll probably sell it instead
Speaker 2: of letting the kids take over, because because he just
Speaker 2: wants to, you know, just just to say that he
Speaker 2: did what he did and they'll move on and I'll
Speaker 2: let Yeah. I thought he's like eighty four and he's
Speaker 2: been doing this for now almost thirty years.
Speaker 3: I think he's got some hard mind. Yeah, he's it
Speaker 3: probably doesn't. But he looks like it's been.
Speaker 2: Twenty six, twenty eight years since the last time they
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl or one past got to the Semis. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so he was that's what fifty fifty years fifty years old,
Speaker 2: almost fifty three years old. That's a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a long time. I won't even mention what happened
Speaker 2: in ninety seven, So it's a long time.
Speaker 3: Just yeah, I know, stop you really really really just
Speaker 3: have to go.
Speaker 2: Just for reference, just for reference. But Dollas, the Dallas
Speaker 2: Cowboys in Arizona Wildcatchers have the same kind of life.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like it was yesterday, but it wasn't. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But the reason it's the narrative on this is that, Okay,
Speaker 3: you're worth ten billion dollars, but you won't pay your
Speaker 3: players to you know, yeah, enough to win you a
Speaker 3: championship with the hell.
Speaker 2: You But they've tried, they tried. They're just I'm not
Speaker 2: saying they've.
Speaker 3: Just been wrong, right right again. They hung their hat
Speaker 3: on Dak Prescott. What's that that they think at least
Speaker 3: five you know, and he just hasn't been that good
Speaker 3: and he has stuck by him.
Speaker 2: I think it's five five or six, maybe more five
Speaker 2: or six, but you know.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 3: You'd think that he'd be able to go get himself.
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott's just good enough to get your beat and like.
Speaker 2: The guy he replaced.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like.
Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen, so seven eight years though, yeah, so so obviously,
Speaker 2: I from Santa Fan and ninety five percent of the
Speaker 2: people love the Cowboys because that's what they grew up
Speaker 2: on on TV at their Bible. And I give him
Speaker 2: I used to be that guy. I used to be
Speaker 2: that guy and just kind of grew out of it, thankfully.
Speaker 2: When to Dallas to maybe possibly work to cover them
Speaker 2: a dream, you know. So I came here, I worked
Speaker 2: the morning news there, came here, realized that was gonna happen,
Speaker 2: and I go back and I just say they're all
Speaker 2: delusional because they hang on hope. They hang on hope
Speaker 2: that And I said, how young were you when they
Speaker 2: won the last one? Right, And there were teenagers or
Speaker 2: were in their twenties, and now they're their fifties. And
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be mean and bitter like Bill says,
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you that's what
Speaker 2: it's like. Raider fans too. Yeah, you can go down
Speaker 2: the list of those fans, Raider fans, Cowboy fans. Where
Speaker 2: else am I gonna go? Miami Dolphin fans It's been
Speaker 2: a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, although you know what, Mammy, Dolphins fans get kind
Speaker 3: of like you guys are a bunch of weenies. You
Speaker 3: wear awkle get out of here, so nobody likes you.
Speaker 2: So they're not gonna win anywhere. Yeah. Right, the Charger
Speaker 2: fans even.
Speaker 3: Fans, right, uh you know who? Every year the Chargers
Speaker 3: look like they got you know, they've got a team.
Speaker 2: Right because they're quarterback. Yeah, in my Bears, it's been
Speaker 2: a while for the Bears, right, yeah, b well, Broun's
Speaker 2: they're like the the Brons, just on the schedule. Yeh,

Speaker 2: Welcome back to I'm the Ball here on Fox Sports
Speaker 2: fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, He's Jagan Zawas you're Ryan.
Speaker 2: We got sixteen minutes we'd like to hear from you.
Speaker 2: Five two oh four one six seventy four forty. If
Speaker 2: this is your first time listening or whatever, give us
Speaker 2: a call. We'd like to hear from you. Getting ready
Speaker 2: for football soon. We are listen a little bit more
Speaker 2: than two weeks. At the college level, here we go
Speaker 2: one call right away, right, Hi, you're on the air.
Speaker 3: And I on the ball.
Speaker 15: Hey, how you doing good?
Speaker 2: How are you good?
Speaker 15: Yeah? I heard you tell you essay about the U
Speaker 15: by scheduling and game time and stuff like that. Yeah,
Speaker 15: And I didn't get a chance to call in that.
Speaker 15: I mean, I don't like to late game times either. Well,
Speaker 15: mean of them is why they followed their schedule so
Speaker 15: many home games so early in the season.
Speaker 2: That's a good question is do they do they?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: They they they the pretty much like most teams do.
Speaker 3: They'll schedule their three non conference games at the top
Speaker 3: of the schedule, and there's one likes to play two
Speaker 3: of those at home every year, and and and they'll
Speaker 3: go one on the road. So that it has more
Speaker 3: to do with than the back end of the schedule.
Speaker 3: The last nine games are all conference games. It's rare
Speaker 3: that there's a conference game in the middle of those
Speaker 3: first three games. So it has to do with you know,
Speaker 3: they want to they want to have more home games
Speaker 3: than than road games every year. Uh, and so that's
Speaker 3: that's just the way it works out.
Speaker 2: Do you typically go to the games?
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, I've been going, like forever. I'm as old
Speaker 14: as hob so.
Speaker 15: I mean, but as I got older, I don't like
Speaker 15: the laces starts. I don't like when it half times
Speaker 15: at ten o'clock.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 15: This year, this year they have a game late season
Speaker 15: home games Houston. You know that game is a Friday night. Yeah,
Speaker 15: that's nuts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's TV.
Speaker 2: Isn't that funny though, because when they thought they went
Speaker 2: to the Big twelve, the late games after dark stuff
Speaker 2: would be ending, and now it's still continuing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I I I yeah, I like to
Speaker 3: think that, but I think you're you're right, Uh this
Speaker 3: is co right Yeah yeah, okay, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3: But but like you know, because we're looking at the
Speaker 3: first couple of games. Seven thirty game is the opener,
Speaker 3: which is standard, and.
Speaker 2: You can't have it right right.
Speaker 15: I get that, I know, I know, late early in
Speaker 15: the season.
Speaker 14: I get it.
Speaker 15: My life, you shouldn't go because it's so late.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that that that Houston game, that Friday night game.
Speaker 3: That's a that's a that's a TV thing that that
Speaker 3: uh is a guy went to high school.
Speaker 2: Oh then you okay.
Speaker 3: And and uh and it's uh, you know, that's that's
Speaker 3: TV making that call. And as much as we'd all
Speaker 3: love to not see that, you know, a ride November fifteenth,
Speaker 3: it's it could be cold by that time, well cold
Speaker 3: for us, you know, eight fifteen Friday.
Speaker 15: Night game, say one o'clock start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you think about it in Houston. In Houston,
Speaker 3: that's a nine to fifteen game. I just don't understand
Speaker 3: why they do that.
Speaker 2: I know, well, you're still young man, You're still a
Speaker 2: young man.
Speaker 15: I don't feel like I'm eighty.
Speaker 2: We all do, We all did.
Speaker 3: The question is the question is do you walk like
Speaker 3: you're eighty like I do? Sometimes? Right? Yeah, of course, yeah, No,
Speaker 3: I agree with you. You know, i'd like to think
Speaker 3: that we're not going to see a lot of these
Speaker 3: like Okay, the September thirteen game, Friday night game at
Speaker 3: Kansas State, that's five five o'clock our time, So you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's just a matter of what
Speaker 3: TV decides you want to do. But I'm a yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm a little puzzled by that eight to fifteen game
Speaker 3: that's got Houston in it. I mean, if Arizona was
Speaker 3: playing by U or Utah, uh, you know, or even
Speaker 3: Colorado in that game, you say, okay, eight fifteen, I
Speaker 3: get it. Everybody's in the same time. Somebody, you're a
Speaker 3: Houston fan, you're pissed off at that game? I know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: no doubt.
Speaker 15: We had the bar for three hours. I think, got
Speaker 15: to watch a football a game.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 3: Now you know we were We've been friends a long time.
Speaker 3: But hey, thanks a bunch, man, appreciate it, thanks for listening.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say this about him, but this guy could
Speaker 3: used to be able to eat a mountain of bacon and.
Speaker 2: He's still with those Vegas buffets and he's still he's
Speaker 2: one of your guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was legend. Guy was legendary. You're legend at
Speaker 3: Vegas buffet? Another too expensive? Exactly exactly. Anyways, No, I
Speaker 3: didn't realize that that game was was that late. But
Speaker 3: let's take this high. You're on the air and I
Speaker 3: on the ball.
Speaker 16: What's up, hey, man, First thing, Arizona did not trade
Speaker 16: in softball was coaching.
Speaker 3: They did. We figured that out. That correct, We got it.
Speaker 15: And Steve Man.
Speaker 12: He seems shocked.
Speaker 16: Man about about what that color bill said about every
Speaker 16: time this?
Speaker 2: Nico, thanks for the observation. You're exactly right. But but
Speaker 2: he was wrong about well did you hear the conversation?
Speaker 2: I heard it.
Speaker 6: Put you put everyone in a box.
Speaker 2: Man, I feel defended.
Speaker 3: I put you in a box so you will get out,
Speaker 3: which said to keep you out of trouble, throw the
Speaker 3: key for you. Exactly.
Speaker 2: But good observation. You should be a psychologist when you
Speaker 2: go something like that.
Speaker 15: Man, you're like Maverick after Gooseta.
Speaker 2: Get over that, man, I guess we all do. I don't, Man,
Speaker 2: I hold on to it. I'm a grudge. I didn't realize.
Speaker 2: I'm like Jay, that's make.
Speaker 3: A good That's the best thing is it's ever been
Speaker 3: said about you. You're like Maverick after a goose Dag.
Speaker 3: Tell me explain the top Gun. You thought about him
Speaker 3: all the time. Yeah, yeah, he was just like shattered
Speaker 3: by it.
Speaker 6: You have to watch taf Gun now because now you're
Speaker 6: disappointing me.
Speaker 3: I gotta go smoke a giant relax.
Speaker 2: Relax, I guess apparently I need to smoke one too.
Speaker 3: You know, you know you got a little touchy on
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 2: I did because he's wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, okay, that's beside the point.
Speaker 2: What's the point.
Speaker 3: The point is that who cares?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's it. Good point, that's good.
Speaker 3: Exactly. Look Bill, we didn't you know, we're not, I
Speaker 3: mean into this you here, but you know we disagree
Speaker 3: with the with your defense. Oh look again, we try
Speaker 3: to explain it. We do generalize, but you know, I
Speaker 3: think we're explained that we were talking majority of fans
Speaker 3: as opposed to all fans, right when we say things
Speaker 3: like that, right, because I mean I've said that about
Speaker 3: our about Arizona fans. I've said I've sat here and
Speaker 3: said I hate Arizona fans. Yeah, in fact, because they
Speaker 3: love because you know, for various reasons, right, because they
Speaker 3: don't show up to games, or they complain about the
Speaker 3: late game, but then they don't come when they're play
Speaker 3: an early game, or.
Speaker 2: But but they're also their explanation, like like Hote what's
Speaker 2: his name Coke Coke said, I mean you don't want
Speaker 2: to be there eight thirty. You just don't.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: So they have great points too.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I I mean, is it is
Speaker 3: an eight to fifteen game good for our show? Yeah,
Speaker 3: because we can do the show on Friday. I can
Speaker 3: still go tailgate a couple hours and go to the game.
Speaker 3: And speaking of you know, we got that that Kansas
Speaker 3: State games at five o'clock on a Friday. On a Friday,
Speaker 3: we're gonna be doing our So we're gonna close our
Speaker 3: show and I'm gonna have to listen to the first half.
Speaker 2: Hours in the car. That's tough life.
Speaker 3: That upsets me.
Speaker 2: Tough life, Well, you get to listen to Brian.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave it for thirty that day.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll handle the rest White care apparently.
Speaker 3: What can't you know what? You know what it's again,
Speaker 3: it's it's giving me.
Speaker 2: The we'll be in the new we'll be in the
Speaker 2: new place too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's throwing me back to that. Remember remember when
Speaker 3: the Arizona played a s U in the COVID game. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it was a five o'clock game and we had
Speaker 3: Ricky Houndley on. I remember that, and we're talking about, oh,
Speaker 3: Arizona's you know, they're gonna, you know, finally, and then
Speaker 3: we go home and turn it on and it's like, gone,
Speaker 3: all they have.
Speaker 2: Well I was there, I was there, and and you
Speaker 2: were you were listening at home. It was a six
Speaker 2: o'clock game, I remember, I don't remember because it was
Speaker 2: that was a shell shot game. And you're thinking, is
Speaker 2: he gonna come out of the locker room at halftime?
Speaker 2: Did did? Did he go in there? And you're fired
Speaker 2: right there?
Speaker 3: Yeah he should have. Yeah, she had taken his keys
Speaker 3: right there. I felt that about. There was a U
Speaker 3: c l A game that Arizona in Macovick's last year
Speaker 3: that I want I wanted somebody to not let Macavic
Speaker 3: come out for the second half. And it was it
Speaker 3: was really really it was a thing where Arizona was
Speaker 3: getting its ass beat bad and U c l A
Speaker 3: has a third and forty one they get and they
Speaker 3: got the first down because they got thirty nine yards
Speaker 3: on third down, and then they got the first down
Speaker 3: on fourth down. And I wanted I wanted them to
Speaker 3: take his keys right there while he was still on
Speaker 3: the field. That's how bad that got. And so yeah, no,
Speaker 3: but anyway, I'm giving a little, I'm getting myself a
Speaker 3: little to throw back to that hole that that ACU game.
Speaker 3: When that you have a five o'clock, a five o'clock
Speaker 3: game on TV like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that. Here was we had the Ricky
Speaker 2: then he wasn't here, obviously he was in l A.
Speaker 2: And they were they're hopeful. They were hopeful right to
Speaker 2: meet him and not even close.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was I mean, it was.
Speaker 6: It was.
Speaker 3: It was win that game or you're winless for the
Speaker 3: seat for it was a short season, but you were
Speaker 3: you were gonna You're gonna have a winless season, and
Speaker 3: they did and they got their asses kicked. It was
Speaker 3: and it was worse than any of any of us
Speaker 3: thought it could possibly get.
Speaker 2: It was just the worst. God and then two days later,
Speaker 2: two days later, it was over. Yeah or later, Okay,
Speaker 2: it was. It was impossibly. He made well that that
Speaker 2: game was on. When that game Friday, Yeah, they played,
Speaker 2: they played Saturday. I guess they played.
Speaker 3: Put nothing he got let go on Sunday.
Speaker 2: It was a basketball game during a basketball game. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyways, all right, okay, so it's Steve, you're just
Speaker 3: your your sensitive.
Speaker 2: I'm just a flower. I need to be watered, seen
Speaker 2: some sunshine. I didn't say that, but okay, well that's
Speaker 2: what flowers need Yeah, but then the lion and the
Speaker 2: lands are flat and yeah, you're singing in the ring.
Speaker 2: Then there'll be a rainbow.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Okay, we've lost. We've got fact, we've
Speaker 3: got six minutes. Here, we get a call. Somebody save
Speaker 3: us with a call here. This is what happens when
Speaker 3: you don't have guests. You know, it's funny because it's weird.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the Arizona schedule, and by this time,
Speaker 3: pretty much every year I know Arizona schedule, but mostly
Speaker 3: because I know the teams, right, I don't know Arizona schedule,
Speaker 3: you know. I mean if you said, okay, who are
Speaker 3: they playing after? For Utah, I would know Texas Tech
Speaker 3: because we had the Texas Tech T but I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have been able to tell that it's b YU. Then
Speaker 3: it's Colorado, then it's West virgin West Virginia's gotta come here.
Speaker 3: Then they go to Central Florida, Houston TCU, and all
Speaker 3: I would know is as US the last game. It's
Speaker 3: weird to not all of this is so new and
Speaker 3: we're so unfamiliar with everything that I don't even really
Speaker 3: know the schedule.
Speaker 2: I got a question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I noticed some of the games still don't
Speaker 4: have star times that normal for this TV.
Speaker 3: They said, the games, it's a like if there's a
Speaker 3: game on Saturday, they have to set it two Mondays
Speaker 3: before that. Let's take this call. Hire on there and
Speaker 3: I on the ball.
Speaker 16: Hey, I was just thinking of a really cool segment
Speaker 16: you guys could do in the future based on what
Speaker 16: you guys are talking about. So I was thinking of
Speaker 16: like a mount rushmore of people we would like to
Speaker 16: see how fired at halftime? That Yeah, I nominate Chris Rodgers.
Speaker 2: This is like Chris Rodgers, guy, what what's your what did?
Speaker 2: You may not even have an answer for this? What's
Speaker 2: your beef with him?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 16: I stud him for many years, graduated undergraduate playing because
Speaker 16: basically all the U of A basketball players during the
Speaker 16: since ninety four all the way up to like therapy
Speaker 16: or mid two thousand, so he was just the most
Speaker 16: most were pretty cool and chill and and not like
Speaker 16: show offs or or just negative. With the amateur players
Speaker 16: you know playing at the rec center, I heard those
Speaker 16: have the same attitude. I think that got him kicked
Speaker 16: off the seed, right, Yeah, I remember he was, you know,
Speaker 16: he was still undergraduate, well working on his first degree,
Speaker 16: and and and I just respected him by putting my
Speaker 16: hands down during industue a three poiner, and then he
Speaker 16: didn't like that, didn't make any three He's my team won.
Speaker 16: And then from there though, it just turned into this rivalry.
Speaker 3: I've heard some legendary he's been was legendarily a bad
Speaker 3: guy and pick up at the direction.
Speaker 15: Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 16: And then he came back to work on his masters
Speaker 16: about eight years later, and I was like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 16: what is he doing here? And then he explained it,
Speaker 16: and I thought he started out with a better attitude,
Speaker 16: but then he would it just it clicked and he
Speaker 16: I think he remembered me and I put my arms
Speaker 16: behind my back and.
Speaker 2: He got kind of mad those moments.
Speaker 3: All right, that's that's that's an interesting topic.
Speaker 2: Outside of that though.
Speaker 3: Okay, no, no, did you say coaches or just coaches
Speaker 3: and players?
Speaker 16: Oh, with any any anyone involved with you of athletics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marcus Williams.
Speaker 2: It's another one. Well at halftime, it's fine a half
