Now, Henry has some breaking news. 7 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.280 This is I on the Ball breaking news on Fox 8 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.679 Sports fourteen fifty. 9 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.800 Georgia Tech defeated number ten Florida State twenty four to 10 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.840 twenty one on Saturday in Ireland. 11 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:34.560 Anything. 12 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:35.159 No, I didn't. 13 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.560 I was, I mean I was. I was golfing in LA. 14 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:42.719 But uh, you know I first came out of the 15 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.719 box for twenty twenty four. We got a shot. 16 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.320 Yeah, there were thirteen point from favorite I think, yeah, 17 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:49.159 eleven to thirteen. 18 00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.039 I do know that. All week long, you know, talk 19 00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.719 shows and whatever, everybody was saying, take the points and 20 00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.359 take me under one because you know they're having to Ireland. 21 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.959 You know you're out of sorts first game. Uh, and 22 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.599 they said don't don't was both right, yeah, don't give 23 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.599 up on you know, don't think that Georgia Tech. You know, 24 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:13.079 he doesn't have a shot at. 25 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.239 This right It's funny because I saw something this morning, 26 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:16.799 I think it was, and I wanted to talk to 27 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:22.480 you about this. So Georgia Tech trolled the announcers because 28 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.840 I was at the game day Herb Kirk kurb stream. Well, 29 00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.599 all three of them, though them picked who picked against them? 30 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:27.959 Right right? 31 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.560 I guess one guy didn't picked against and so they 32 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.239 got after all of them and said, yeah, look what 33 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.200 you guys, and then they had clips about each each 34 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.560 to each, to each of them. Okay, would you have 35 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:42.159 done the same thing had you lost? I mean, come on, 36 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.079 it was the third they won. You don't act like 37 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.120 you've been here before. Then I get it. 38 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.480 And I guess Kirk Curvessey'd got booed by the Florida 39 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.760 State Fancy were there relentlessly throughout the whole show. Every 40 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:55.439 time he talked, they bowed the hell out of him. 41 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.599 And I'm like, Okay, I get it. You guys are 42 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.079 upset because you somehow you feel he was too blame 43 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.840 for the fact that your undefeated team didn't get into 44 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.000 the playoff last year. All he said was that he 45 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.520 didn't think you should have been in there. After the fact, 46 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.879 it wasn't because of him, but he was just saying, 47 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:14.039 and they were right, you know, I mean, I don't 48 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.000 think anybody do they deserve to be there? Yes, because 49 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.000 they were undefeated. Was it the best matchup? No, it 50 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.960 wasn't because you know, the the top two quarterbacks were 51 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.680 hurt and they they got blasted by Georgia in their 52 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.800 bowl game. So in the end, Herb Street was correct, 53 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.599 but apparently he bowed the hell up. Now what now, 54 00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.680 what do you think? Right? You got beat So now 55 00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.319 you're you're s O L and so I don't know. 56 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:38.719 Fans are fans. 57 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.280 I guess if we make predictions, it's what our predictions 58 00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.319 are and what our thoughts are. If you if you 59 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.039 if you prove us wrong, more power to. 60 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.560 You, exactly enjoy enjoy exactly exactly. But that's that's a 61 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.719 that's a huge thing. Now the game again, we're already in, 62 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.159 you know, we're already in a mode where you're talking 63 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.840 about the college football playoff. Florida State's not out of 64 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.199 the playoff race or anything like that right where they 65 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.400 might have been considered that, you know, before the playoff, 66 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.840 because they still got to go in. If they go 67 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.759 in their league, they're in. So it doesn't matter whether 68 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.719 or not. They lost to Georgia Tech in the first game. 69 00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.479 Whereas you have this loss that you didn't expect and 70 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.280 now you might lose another one down the road, and 71 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.560 now you're out. If it's a four team planoff. 72 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.080 It's funny though. They don't talk about they don't talk 73 00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.479 about having good seasons. Now it's all about the playoffs. Yeah, 74 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:26.520 now it's all about. 75 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.520 Right, just get into the playoffs. And we'll say that 76 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.240 about Arizona. Right. Okay, you lose the game, but just 77 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.719 win the league. You're still in the Kandasity and get 78 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.120 yourself into the championship game and win the league, all right. 79 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.039 The Big Twelve presidents and athletic directors met about Yukon 80 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:44.960 potentially joining the Big Twelve today. 81 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.400 No vote was taken yet. 82 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.439 Yeah, you sent that out Friday while we talked about it. No, no, 83 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.680 because I didn't have a show on Friday. Right, But 84 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.240 you send me the league, right, and it already kept 85 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.080 just before you send it, it was already kind of 86 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.960 coming out. That would be fantastic. Yeah, that would be 87 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:06.400 for basketball. Holy Christ, imagine both women and men. Yeah, fantastic. 88 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.680 Yeah, you want to talk about a league, the best 89 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.360 league getting. 90 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.759 Better exactly exactly. It'd be a lot of fun. Gino 91 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.160 coming here for a game. Uh you have you know, 92 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.360 another hurly coming back to Tucson to cover to do 93 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.079 a game. Oh, this this league. If you don't have tickets, 94 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.720 you better get your take exactly. 95 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.000 Lake Mary, Florida won the Little League World Series in 96 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.439 baseball and Pitt County, North Carolina won it in softball. 97 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:35.439 It was a great game. 98 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.279 I saw the play, the butt play. I didn't get 99 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:40.959 to see the game, but I saw that bunt play 100 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.160 where you know, they decided the game. 101 00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.040 It's a great game because they Florida should not have 102 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.040 been the last second, last minute, or last ending hit 103 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.279 that got him even and then they went into extrandings. 104 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:57.560 I didn't know they.

I learned 145 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.519 a lot that day with Troy and Moreno, how how 146 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.279 how teams or programs are inuring these kids to go 147 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.120 and then they tell them, sorry, we don't have we 148 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.480 don't have the money we promised you, and that's that's 149 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:11.879 part of. 150 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.639 Getting them to sign. And then the time they don't 151 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:14.279 have the money, they. 152 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.399 Don't have the money. It's like and I'm seeing that 153 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.240 can't be happening. That's not true. And he says, yeah, 154 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.360 it's true.

I mean, that's just done. All right, that's 183 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.519 all I got. All right. Well, I don't know if 184 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.039 you going back to talk about this New Mexico game, 185 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.279 because it was look it, you know, when when you're 186 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:04.759 looking at Arizon's got to play these guys, they looked 187 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.120 pretty good. But then you realize, you know, I was 188 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.759 looking at the at the at the box score when 189 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.200 New Mexico was winning the game and got to the 190 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.799 big lead because they got two defensive touchdowns. Yeah, so 191 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.919 you know, Brennan and his press conference talked about what's 192 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.720 most important to him is that, you know the usual stuff, 193 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:24.200 right turnovers, red zone, a third down. You know, don't 194 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.840 turn the ball over to New Mexican. You should kick 195 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:30.480 their asses because if not for two fumble returns for touchdowns, 196 00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.919 they're not probably not even in the game and having 197 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.360 a chance to win. Instead, you know, then they give 198 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.639 up twenty one points in the fourth quarter to an 199 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.919 FCS team, a very good FCS team, possibly the best 200 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.399 FCS team, and you lose the game. At home. 201 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.679 Yeah, it was crazy. 202 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.480 So I don't know what that means for you know, 203 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.039 Arizona coming up. You know the idea that they've played 204 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.679 a game Arizona hasn't you know there's trade offs, right, Yes, 205 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.600 you have film on them, but they've played a game 206 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.600 they you know, tight in the fourth quarter, and they've 207 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.320 kind of got one under their belt. 208 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.480 Film schmil They should be much better than New Mexico. 209 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.120 I remember who you have as your defensive coordinator or 210 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.039 you or your guy on the defensive end. Uh, former 211 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.320 New Mexico coach, head coach. So I'm sure he has 212 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.519 he doesn't need film on them. 213 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.120 Yeah. Probably he's thinking to myself. 214 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.399 This is the same pain in the ass team that 215 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.320 I coached that couldn't hold the lead and have and 216 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:29.440 have me here because they couldn't win possible. 217 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.759 Yeah, maybe you're right. 218 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.080 I know this team and they're not caused me to 219 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.320 lose my job. It's wrobably been the system here. 220 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:39.720 That's too funny. 221 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.840 We'll see, we'll see. I mean, what's spread thirty Well, 222 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.480 it will be about thirty three though, it's. 223 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:50.399 Yeah, yeah, let me let me check that out because 224 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.279 I don't know, you know, what do you what do 225 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.000 you make of what uh, what happened? You know, what 226 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.200 do you make of what happened in terms of, well, 227 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:00.200 you give it? You give them a lot of at 228 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.000 it for having been in that game. That's what do 229 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.360 you Or do you step on their next because they 230 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:05.919 blew the game? 231 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.879 That's it. I think you do both, because I'm trying 232 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:10.759 to get the guy who wrote for the works for 233 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.679 the Son of in New Mexican. He wrote a pretty 234 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.639 good column about the fans are like Arizona fans. Uh, 235 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.159 they loved it and then they hate it, and now 236 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:19.559 they're looking at basketball season. 237 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.559 It's thirty and a half. Still that hasn't changed the 238 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.720 over hundreds fifty seven. 239 00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.279 No, I think if you're a New Mexico guy, you're thinking, 240 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.080 we weren't expected to do this. There were ten point dogs, 241 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.399 I think it was eleven point dogs and they did 242 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.759 really well and then they just pooped the bed. 243 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.399 Yeah, because you're thinking if even if you're in New Mexico, 244 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.639 you still think we should beat an FCS. 245 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.120 Yeah, no, no, not a good one. It's like when 246 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.080 Ayzona plaid North Dakota State here or whatever it was. 247 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.360 But we knew that what that that North of Coost 248 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.519 State was really damn good. 249 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.360 Well so is Montana State. 250 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.720 But I'm going to tell you that I still expected 251 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:53.919 Arizona to win that game. 252 00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.399 Oh and it was a clear it was a tough kay. 253 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:01.679 You, Yes, it definitely was. But I'm lost that game. 254 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:03.600 I know that. But what I'm saying is that if 255 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.919 they were lost, I would have been really pissed because 256 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.279 I would have thought, I don't care how bad you 257 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.360 think you are, if you can't those guys aren't here 258 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:12.080 for a reason. 259 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.360 Right, let me throw this three letter word, three letter 260 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.120 acronym at you. 261 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:21.559 Well, I know, but that and and what that told 262 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.679 us was how bad Arizona really was. You know, at 263 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.360 that time, they were awful, and and they and any 264 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.159 you should have been on, you know, should not have 265 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.279 been able to do what they did. They did it, 266 00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.159 but they shouldn't have. 267 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.600 I don't even remember what they did. They just won. 268 00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.519 That's what just won the game. Arizona was so bad 269 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.559 that that any of you won that game. And so 270 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.080 I just think, and look, we all get in New 271 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.399 Mexico's Mount West team, so they're not they're not a 272 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.639 PAC twelve team playing an FCS team. But I still 273 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.159 think that you're you know, your your your your Division 274 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.840 one team. You probably feel like there's an expectation you 275 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.159 should win that game. The same way as I out 276 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.399 when Arizona played San Diego. Stake those two games, right 277 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:04.360 if any say killed them and that's how bad we 278 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.279 find out how bad they were. Then the next year 279 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:07.840 they get in your quarterback and all the things. But 280 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:13.000 Nate and I went to that game thinking they could lose. 281 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.120 But expecting them to win. Then we'll still San Diego stay. 282 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.720 And then you were pleasantly surprised what you've seen in 283 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.720 the one hundred degree wee. 284 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.080 Heat INSI Diego, Yeah, exact. 285 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.919 Okay, let's let's go.

Are you already for the first game 371 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.240 of the season? 372 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.839 Sure, thank you. 373 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.079 You know, it's obviously it's a very busy time fall, 374 00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.599 but it's a fun time. Yeah, And I like having 375 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:49.920 something concrete to talk and write about as opposed to, 376 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.480 you know, just months and months and months of speculation 377 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.440 and that sort of thing. So yeah, let's let's kick 378 00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.400 it off. Let's play some ball. 379 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.079 Well, you guys, you guys had a special section in 380 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.000 the in There's a daily start yesterday, so lots to 381 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:04.720 read and it's going to take me all week to 382 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.200 get through all of it. But we want to talk 383 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.759 first a little bit about a column you did regarding 384 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:14.200 this whole situation with how you know, media, fans, everybody 385 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:16.880 been cut off from practices and things, and how low 386 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:21.039 key it's been. I guess, for lack of a better word, 387 00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:22.799 you made a lot of good points, you know, the 388 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.000 main one being that this has been sort of a 389 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.680 missed opportunity for for the U of A. And going 390 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.200 into a season that's generated a lot of excitement since 391 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.160 last year. Now it's kind of like we're going in 392 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.799 kind of nobody's really heard much of anything. First, give 393 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.200 us first your thoughts on why you did that column. 394 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:44.720 Yeah, well, first of all, I mean, the focus at 395 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.160 that column was about the fans. I try to keep 396 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.079 us guys out of it, right. I feel like the 397 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:54.079 access that we've gotten has been very good for the 398 00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:58.400 most part, and people don't really like is your complaints 399 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:02.000 from the media about what's going on with our access, 400 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.519 our food, our travel, et cetera. So this was really 401 00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.559
