WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.480 Hey, welcome back to Eye the Ball here on Fox 2 00:00:01.480 --> 00:00:05.120 Sports fourteen fifty. We're not on the air. It's blinking. 3 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.320 Maybe hear us, maybe don't Can you hear us? Let 4 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.239 me know if you can hear us, because we've had 5 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:20.480 issues for the last two hours. There's no blinking, so 6 00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.800 we could be Troy maybe hopefully we're not going to 7 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.920 have the recruit right. No, you've reached doctor Ham saying 8 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:28.600 that we're having issues here, so we didn't want to 9 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.399 do this. The funny thing of what's the record for 10 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:34.039 the UA football team? Three and I feel like I'm 11 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.280 one in eight, so they're having a better season than 12 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.960 you are today today, right, I've thrown about five interceptions here. 13 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.640 I don't know what's going on with this because they've 14 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.920 played a lot of commercials obviously I'm not sure why, 15 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:46.640 but but. 16 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:50.960 Yes, yes they have. I'm not sure sure. 17 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.240 I hope we're on the air or two, so let 18 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.799 me know if you if you're hear us, that'll be fine. 19 00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.840 We were talking about the basketball program, women's program. If 20 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:02.359 you followed that, because they played it night. 21 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.159 Right, Yeah, they played a night you know, three and 22 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.319 zero very non competitive games in terms of opponents that 23 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.879 they've played, they've looked solid, but you're really not going 24 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.879 to know until the conference season because kind of like 25 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.760 a classic idea barn schedule over the last several years, 26 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.239 there's just not a lot of me and and potatoes 27 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.799 during the non conference so, you know, right right outside salad. 28 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.159 She's, yeah, well you need a diet. You try I 29 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.319 need to diet. But you know what, she's kind of 30 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.599 done that. I mean when they first started, when she 31 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.760 first started, uh, she won a lot because they didn't 32 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:38.879 play a whole lot of good teams, but she said 33 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.840 they needed to learn how to win. I gained some confidence. 34 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.760 That was what five six years ago and now and 35 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.879 look what happened. They got their confidence, They got a 36 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.239 generational player. 37 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.439 In Aaron McDonald, Ry McDonald and and Vaoilah. 38 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.719 Here they go and now they probably might have to 39 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.120 re go to that where they win a lot of games, 40 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.480 feel confident with themselves and move on. 41 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.439 Yeah, you know, I think they do have talent on 42 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.000 the roster. Jada Williams is phenomenal player, yeah Paris that 43 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.919 transferred in from North Carolina. So I do think you 44 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.960 have guard play and some some front players as well. 45 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.039 But I think after that that's where they kind of 46 00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.560 fall off as the bench just doesn't seem as strong 47 00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:17.560 as in the years past. 48 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:22.039 And yeah, you know here now here for And she's 49 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:23.919 that because last couple of years have been the bench 50 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:25.199 has been not existing. 51 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.000 Yeah, well you've also had a lot of. 52 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.919 Transfers and that's my point, non existent literally. 53 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.599 Yeah, and you know, I think you're trying to rebuild 54 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.400 that part. But you have some young talented players that 55 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.879 are you know, in your starting lineup and you know, 56 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.080 like you said it, he goes through those moments where 57 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.919 if you don't have the roster that can win right now, 58 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.199 let's stack up some wins, get them some confidence and 59 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.479 then go into the conference season and hoping that confidence 60 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.280 transfer is over. 61 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.960 Yeah, we're going to just randomly talk about things. We 62 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.879 can't take any calls because we don't want to screw 63 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.800 this up because we have we have a lot of time. 64 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.439 We'll probably go through the whole time here unless they 65 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.280 make us go to more commercials. I think that we've 66 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.800 run out of them, which is fine with me. We 67 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:05.879 were talking from breaking news that we wouldn't do it, 68 00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.120 but we talked to Troy, you and I before the 69 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.159 show started. Five weeks ago, actually just about an hour 70 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.319 and a half ago, the USC got fined and penalized 71 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.960 for O probation for some recruiting violations that that their coach, Riley, 72 00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.840 was not involved with. But it seems like the rules 73 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.120 were kind of like you can move the line a little. 74 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.919 Yeah, you know, back in the day, I know, and 75 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.319 I don't know this is exactly the case for USC, 76 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.280 But back in the day, you couldn't have analysts and 77 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:37.080 office and defensive analysts go out and recruit. 78 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.919 Back in the day, how far back in the day, 79 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.759 like two years ago, two three, I think three years pandemic, 80 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.199 right after the pandemic, Yeah, exactly. But now those analysts 81 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.199 can go out and recruit, they can be on the field, 82 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.639 they can be like a coach, you know, just without 83 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.000 the pay of a coach, right, So you're able to 84 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.520 extend that out. So I don't know if it's something 85 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.000 from back then that they got caught for that a 86 00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.360 lot of program it was just a twenty twenty one. 87 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:02.000 The coach was not involved in this, so he was 88 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.319 not penalized. 89 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.759 And it's something that a lot of programs were doing. 90 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.960 I mean, it's that's why they changed the rules. So 91 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.280 it's not just an USC thing. 92 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.879 Yeah right, no, no question. It's like you can drive 93 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.159 fifty five, but but you couldn't. We still have to 94 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.480 find you for now. You can drive seventy, but we 95 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:19.639 still have to find you for pay. 96 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.480 You're going sixty, it's fifty five. Here's your ticket. Yeah, 97 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.160 oh now everybody's going seventy five. 98 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.959 Right right, So so okay, so it's a it's a 99 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.759 fine and a penalty, but you know, okay, they'll move 100 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:30.279 on from this. 101 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.639 It's no Reggie Bush thing. They're They're going to be 102 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:33.839 completely sure. 103 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.040 Sure Bears have fired their and battled offensive coordinator Waldron. 104 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.959 Did you watch him play? They were not that good, 105 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:42.439 you know, you know what the quarterback. 106 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.120 They started off hot this season, and it really felt 107 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.759 that that hell Mary at the end of the game 108 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.319 for the Commanders right kind of just deflated it. And 109 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.079 to their credit, the Bears played well enough at the 110 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.959 end and Caleb Williams did to win that game, and 111 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.680 you have a hellm are and you can't account for that, 112 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.079 but it just seemed to be a deflator because you 113 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.759 come out flat against the Cardinals, come out flat against 114 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.240 whoever they played after that, and there's got to be 115 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:04.839 some answers. Yeah, so I had. 116 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.759 I was on the show yesterday with Henry and who 117 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:08.360 was with me as my guest. 118 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.600 I can't remember now that so long ago yesterday. How 119 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.839 are you so? I asked him. 120 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.120 That's how undescriptive was to be. Nobody was actually a 121 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.560 good show. I asked him, did he know anybody that 122 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:21.680 was a Cardinals fan, because they're playing so well. But 123 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.160 I think you're a Cardinal fan. No, I'm a Bronco fan. 124 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.399 Oh okay, I'm a Bronco but you've gone to maybe maybe. Okay, 125 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:28.319 you're a Sons fan. 126 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.000 I am a Sons fan. Okay, so you pick and 127 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:30.839 choose your Phoenixes. 128 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.120 Yeah, so I still don't know any did because they're 129 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.759 doing really well and I haven't seen how well they played, 130 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.879 even Murray, how well he's played. But they're winning the 131 00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.120 their league, your division. 132 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.839 Yeah, you know, it's a weaker division right now this season, 133 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.560 but you got to win the games that are in 134 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.519 front of you. And Kyler Murray, this offense and. 135 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.120 Like Brendan right there with all the rights. 136 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.160 Sas, Yeah, you know, you got to win what's in 137 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.040 front of you. But he looks phenomenal he's been able 138 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.879 to play within his skill set, and I think he's 139 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.439 gotten back to being the Calmary that he needs to be, 140 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:04.839 not being too much, not not worrying about this, and 141 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:06.560 that just go out and play football. 142 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.319 Yeah, wouldn't that be a good advice for Noah? 143 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.439 Yeah, And you know they've talked about that. I think 144 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:14.560 Dino Babers has said that several times. You know, you 145 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.639 have your golf swing and you're overthinking it goes right 146 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:18.279 wide left. 147 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.160 Just go on and hit the ball. You know, let's 148 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.759 go rip it and see what happens. That's a good 149 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.040 an analogy with him. But I guess I think he 150 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:28.120 you know what do I know that he's overthinking things, 151 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.879 trying to press to do so much because he feels 152 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:32.959 a lot on him. 153 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.560 Yeah, way to the world on your shoulders. I expectations 154 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.240 And you know, nobody's brought this up, but let's be honest. 155 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.160 You have the documentary series throughout this whole season that's 156 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.160 supposed to be an amazing season. Him and Tetro McMillan 157 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.319 and their family set up a documentary that's not through 158 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.759 the university, but they're interviewing Brennan. They're interviewing players. They've 159 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.800 interviewed Justin spears throughout the season. What's that for? Just 160 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.199 a documentary about them coming back and this season, the 161 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:01.079 team and all that. 162 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.120 It's funded by the families. 163 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.040 The families put it together. They're putting it together. They 164 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.480 are putting it. They've been releasing the episodes every so 165 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.959 often throughout the season, where I forget the website. It's 166 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.160 it's online when I when I get I'll send it 167 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:14.279 to you. 168 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.079 But no, no, it's just for the people who yeah, yeah, yeah, 169 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:18.800 let me look at up. 170 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.480 But yeah, I mean, are you folks where you focus 171 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:22.800 solely on the season? 172 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.399 That's you know right? No, that's yeah, maybe a distraction. Uh, 173 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.639 that's funny. I mean I didn't hear this the first 174 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.279 I've heard of this. Have you seen any parts of it? 175 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.720 I've seen some clips here and now and then I mean, 176 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.040 did you just let let them in small bits and pieces, 177 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.000 small bits and pieces. 178 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.279 How long are those episodes? I think about like fifteen minutes, 179 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.040 twenty minutes? Oh okay, yeah, I don't think anything crazy. 180 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.399 And so they interview who's doing the interviews? I'm looking 181 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.439 that up right now. But again I only saw the 182 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.680 first one. But they interviewed Justin Spears, and he's been 183 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:55.680 interviewed a couple of times, and. 184 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.160 What did he say. Yeah, probably the part. 185 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.000 Of the season talking about the previous seas and then 186 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:02.839 how they all came back and stuff like that in 187 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.120 the family and all that. But you know, it's it's 188 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:08.000 something to kind of talk about, you know. 189 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:15.000 Sure, that's just another I can't even come up with 190 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.439 some other thing to worry about or to be concerned 191 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:18.959 with when they can just think about football. 192 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.839 Yeah. I think that it is titled unfinished Business. 193 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.639 Well it has even started business. 194 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:26.959 So I mean it was kind of hyping up the 195 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.959 season and what they did last year and why they 196 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.200 came all together. Unfinished business. Where can you find it? 197 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.200 You can find it, I believe. Let me click on 198 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.159 the story real quick. It's good radio. Yeah, good radio. No, 199 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.639 this is interesting. This could be another destruction. 200 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:45.320 I think one of the biggest things for a lot 201 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.200 of teams that's been a destruction is nil oh for sure, 202 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.399 with people or players being distracted by other people making 203 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:58.519 more money or being more followed or more attention, and 204 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.440 it's creating shoes. 205 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:05.519 Yeah, I believe it's on YouTube. So finish business on 206 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.279 Finished Business yeah. 207 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.240 Uh. And does it say how many episodes or maybe 208 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:09.720 eight or not? 209 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.840 I am not seeing that. But but my point is 210 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.240 it's it's something else from the field, right and even 211 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.519 and I don't think no if a Teto Rom McMillan 212 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.200 mean to be distracting or anything like that. Third, good guys, 213 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.120 But hey, the results are the results on the field. 214 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:25.399 You could point to it. 215 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.159 Yeah, you could point to it and says whether it's 216 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.879 true or not, or affecting or not. It's just one 217 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:30.799 another another thing. 218 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.320 An example of that is like Lebron James when he 219 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.799 left Cleveland to go to Miami, a lot of free agency. 220 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.559 You know, you just signed Hey, I'm going here. Cool. 221 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.120 You had the whole entire the decision on ESPN, and 222 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:42.519 I rubbed a lot of people the wrong. 223 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.159 Oh sure, sure, but he also won three titles. 224 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.159 Won three times, lost the first one that took a 225 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.759 couple of years, but won three titles. But yeah, yeah, 226 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.000 it took a while, Yeah it did, it did. 227 00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.759 And well the good thing, the good thing an observation. 228 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:58.600 It's not a good thing. 229 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:03.039 I think the of the lays have kind of forgotten 230 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:03.639 been forgotten. 231 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.320 Yeah, do you really need to talk about lays when 232 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:08.679 you're three and six, there's problems out there. 233 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:11.879 The talk of Jed leaving is kind of good, Bud. 234 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.519 It's done by the wayside, right, Yeah, what. 235 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.399 Else has gone away? Now it's just about winning or 236 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.120 trying to win. 237 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:21.399 Trying to figure out if this staff can get it done. 238 00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.360 I think it's the major. 239 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.240 Well, that's a thank you for the transition for me 240 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.799 to ask you again this question you talked about recruiting 241 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:32.960 being okay, forty thirty seven, thirty seventh, which is starting 242 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.600 right now. Right, we're going to have a recruit, but 243 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:36.559 we're not going to have him now. 244 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.240 Not only that, but like other other teams could get 245 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.759 recruits in it, it all switches. 246 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.840 So let me let me say this. So, I think 247 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:45.559 one of the biggest things that I've heard when I 248 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.480 go to basketball games or in the hallways or whatever. Okay, 249 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.440 whether he's a good coach or not a good coach, 250 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.799 but is he going to get talent that's Arizona good 251 00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:56.080 and not Sadd's a stay good. 252 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.360 And that's a major concern because I think when you 253 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.240 look at and they do have nice pieces to this 254 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.799 recruiting class. There are Arizona Power five players in this class. 255 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.120 But there's also some players that are like, why are 256 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.279 you recruiting this guy? Hasn't That always been the case 257 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.240 to a degree, but I think it's magnified now since 258 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:18.639 you've had jet Fish and you were getting players that, 259 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.120 even if they were a three a low three star 260 00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:23.840 or a two star, you look on video and you're like, 261 00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:27.519 this kid's underrated. This kid's really good. Like Jacob Manu, 262 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.120 he was a mid three star. When I watched him play, 263 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.399 I was like, Wow, this guy could start for a 264 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.080 long time. Yeah. Or White like who hasn't started yet 265 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.240 because he has linebackers in front of him. He was 266 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.240 a two star kid out of Hawaii, but you watch 267 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.720 him play, he was like Jacob Manu, but at six 268 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.759 foot three. So it's like, man, they're finding hitting gems. 269 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.039 You're looking at some of these videos and you're like, 270 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.840 I just don't see the athleticism and the fundamentals popping 271 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:53.960 off right right. 272 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.120 Well, there's also more to it than that, you know, 273 00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:02.039 savvy smart angles, yes, and I'm sure they see that too. 274 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.080 Yeah, and maybe there's a specific trait that they're looking 275 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.159 for and they can develop this and this and this, 276 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.360 you know, for JAD for offensive linemen. They wanted that 277 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.000 three hundred and forty three hundred and fifty pound lineman 278 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.559 that they could trim down. Yeah. You know, everybody has 279 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:17.919 a different technique. 280 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.759 Sure, and everybody has an ego thing that they can 281 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:20.240 get it done. 282 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:20.720 Yeah. 283 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:26.080 Yeah, what else did you? I was gonna say, are 284 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.480 you surprised about the triathlon? The team's there because we're 285 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.120 going to go into you know, basketball, women's basketball, other 286 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.519 sports as we move forward. 287 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.000 Yeah, you know, that's a big thing for triathlon, winning 288 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.279 a national championship only it's second year of existence. I 289 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.879 don't honestly, I don't know much about triathlon. But good 290 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.320 for them, and you don't do it. No, not a runner, Steve, 291 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:53.080 Not a runner. Maybe downhill, but not a runner. But no, 292 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.159 good for them, And I think that's always great when 293 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:59.039 you can get a national championship. Basketball, you know, it's 294 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.639 time to We said it's time for Tommy to start 295 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.960 producing in the tournament and that's what fans are anticipating, 296 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.879 are waiting for. Idiya, can you get back on track? 297 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:10.679 It kind of feels like the program has kind of 298 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.759 gone off the rails to a degree. I'm not saying 299 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.559 completely because we've seen how it was before. But can 300 00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:17.799 you get back on that track where she said after 301 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.159 the championship, this is the expectation every year. Yeah. 302 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.759 No, And and she with every right for her to 303 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.519 say that, because oh, for sure they got there. You 304 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:32.279 know maybe wait, well maybe not, maybe way ahead of schedule. Yeah, 305 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.039 And who would have ever thought that, right, playing in 306 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.159 the championship. 307 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.000 Game and then playing a Yukon team where you just 308 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.320 smacked from beginning to end ended up being a ten 309 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.279 point game and you're like, wait a minute, that's Yukon 310 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:44.799 in your Arizona. Nobody does that. 311 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.480 To you, right, And well, one shot away from winning 312 00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:47.960 the title. 313 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.159 Yeah, I mean, if it's just an inch board because 314 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.159 it hit the back iron. Everyone has a national championship 315 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.200 in women's basketball, which would have been crazy bonkers, that 316 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.120 unbelievable because growing up and seeing how the program was 317 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.519 doing with you know, up and down and the ebbs 318 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.919 and flows, one thing I always thought is I'll never 319 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:08.879 see arizonam play in a national championship and winn's basketball 320 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:09.480 and just won't have. 321 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.960 Oh no, come on, no, let me give you even more, 322 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.840 not even more, but just the thing, because I've been 323 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.320 here a long time. You go to games and they 324 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:22.080 were in the WN and you're thinking, I would have never, ever, ever, ever, 325 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.799 ever thought that they'd have twelve, ten thousand whatever in 326 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:27.879 that arena. 327 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.679 With the WN it right, you were talking about that. 328 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.799 I'm thinking, who would have ever thought that? 329 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.159 Yeah? No, she did a great job of cultivating the 330 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:36.200 fan base and getting. 331 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:38.559 It and they've stuck with her. And they've stuck with her. 332 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:44.000 Was Brent on his show last night? 333 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.960 Did he have a show? He didn't have a radio show. 334 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:47.960 I did not hear it. I had some homework to do. 335 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:51.240 But you know, so he has it on Mondays. He 336 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:53.559 does have it on Monday show. On the road recruiting. 337 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.000 They went on the road recruiting. I know the coaching 338 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:58.440 staff was all over the country last week during the 339 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:00.399 bye week. You know, you get that mid season by 340 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.360 we can you can go to recruit. I know the 341 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.799 main topic of recruiting, or the main focus for them 342 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.360 recruiting wise, are South Texas, that Houston area. Yeah, and 343 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.320 then Florida as well. As they're starting to get more recruits. 344 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.399 I've always been the target, so Texas, California, Florida for. 345 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:22.480 These rich rod they ignored Texas Florida to what you 346 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:25.120 know was happening with the previous ALFL my troops. Sure, 347 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:27.879 but I mean right now, I think they have about 348 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.240 six seven Texas guys on the recruiting class of you know, 349 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.519 without looking real quick, that hasn't happened here in a 350 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.039 long time. 351 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:40.120 And Texas, you know these guys to contain them or 352 00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.240 hold them. What do you hear about the nil Because 353 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:47.200 like I said before, I'm talking to somebody who has 354 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.679 money and probably doesn't give money to the u A. 355 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.519 And I don't blame them because it's their money. But 356 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:54.879 how is that going? 357 00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.720 I think for football? I know when Brennan was hired, 358 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.840 they got the calls and donations from boosters and alumni 359 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.639 in that first week and a half span, and they 360 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.440 had with Jed in the last two months with jad 361 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.080 Fish because I think there was excitement of a Arizona 362 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:17.399 guy coming back. Now, I don't know what it would 363 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.759 look like. To be honest, they haven't told us anything. 364 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.159 So usually when they're not telling you, oh, this and 365 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.200 this and this, it's not good. I can tell you 366 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.559 that much. 367 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.519 No, No, and kids today, back on my day, they 368 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.480 came here to play. 369 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.519 They came here to play. 370 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.840 Get some time, right, away, and we all know that 371 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.799 that doesn't happen right away. But now it's not about 372 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:38.440 just that, it's about what are you going to pay 373 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.080 me to come and try to play right away? 374 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.840 I do know even though it's the season's gone poorly 375 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.759 for Arizona and Brennan and the pressure of the fan 376 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.039 base because you see it all over social media. Fire 377 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.120 Brett Brennan, that's not going to happen after one, he. 378 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:52.919 Said, let me say, is it coming from like a 379 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:54.600 small small group of five. 380 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.360 It's just loud. I think it's coming from a small 381 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.879 group of specific people that follow specific media members. Okay, 382 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:09.920 I'll just put it that way, and they're very vocal and. 383 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.599 Well, let me say this, and I've been doing this. 384 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.720 I have to say this a thousand times that I've 385 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.759 been doing this long time. The people who have the money, 386 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:18.960 the people who have the money and call some shots 387 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:19.759 out there. 388 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.599 They're not on Twitter. No, they're not on Facebook. And 389 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.480 they don't want them fired. 390 00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.880 They're too busy. They're too busy making money, too busy 391 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:27.720 doing their jobs. 392 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.680 I'll give you the money. You call me and tell 393 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.920 me if you need money, or hey, if something's going 394 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.079 drastically or wrong, let me know, right, No, But I 395 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.960 do know from some donors and boosers and alumni that 396 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.759 have a say in things, that he still has the room, 397 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.640 that people still support them and believe in them because 398 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:47.759 he is that Arizona guy, because he is a tony guy. 399 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.000 They want to give him that operation. But another chance. 400 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:54.119 You either got to start proving it and maybe this 401 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.319
