But yeah, they crushed them. The Cavaliers they 100 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.479 will be by thirty much. 101 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.560 So how would you feel about seeing the Cavaliers Thunder Finals? 102 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:19.160 Doesn't doesn't strike fear in your TV watching June. 103 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.240 TV station is gonna make a lot of money on 104 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:28.160 that game. I'm telling you those sales guys at the. 105 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.319 TV stations in Oklahoma City and Cleveland are ready to go. 106 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.800 Yeah so much, you know, not so much. 107 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.240 Arizona Basketball announced today that the Houston game on February 108 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.199 fifteenth is sold out, but the other six remaining home 109 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.600 game self tickets available to be sold. 110 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:52.000 Which which which is unbelievable because arizonmost that hasn't been 111 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.759 this meaning since the end of Sean. But people think, oh, 112 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.439 you can get a ticket, you can get a. 113 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.600 Ticket all the time. I look it up. You're going time.

State's a 117 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.079 bigger game than the state game. Yeah. 118 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.680 I guess coming into the year they probably thought Houston 119 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.680 would be. And then the last thing I got Arizona 120 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.600 Gymnastics will have their home opener meet today at seven 121 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.360 pm and the Kale against Air Force. 122 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.199 Are they doing okay?

I think at 125 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.519 least a couple of individuals. Yeah, I saw some individuals. 126 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.519 And the softball and baseball and all the spring. 127 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.240 Sports, and the spring sports is trying to roll around. 128 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:39.120 Yeah. 129 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:44.040 Track looks good. You know, We've talked about many times. 130 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.959 But I think a lot of those athletes they should 131 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:47.120 share in this money too. 132 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.959 Yeah.

I grew up in Santa Fe 232 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.200 and I hated that stuff. It's nice for a weekend, 233 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.279 but that's it, and then we'll come back for another year. 234 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.480 That's funny. 235 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.440 Yeah, But when we lived in Tepka, was I was 236 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.200 close to Kansas City, so I got to go to. 237 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.720 Some some Royals games and some Chiefs games. 238 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.039 And and I worked at a TV station and we 239 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:32.759 had tickets to. 240 00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.039 KU basketball games. 241 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.120 And I mean Allen field House is you know we 242 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:41.320 talk about atmosphere. 243 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:42.440 Oh my goodness. 244 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.159 So I was just going to ask you did you 245 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.480 when you went? Were you impressed with it? And then 246 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.639 I'm going to be whatever. 247 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:49.320 With Allen field House. 248 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.200 I was more impressed with the traditions, yeah, that were there, 249 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.360 and they didn't feel stale to me, and they didn't 250 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.960 feel stale to the crowd. You know, the Rock Chuck Jayhawk, 251 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.320 all those things, you know, and and I you know, 252 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.320 we were talking about McHale and it it feels a 253 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.720 little old and stale there, but you know, Allen field House, 254 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.399 those fans. 255 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.799 Yeah. So the best places I went to. I've been 256 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.200 there like two or three times. It was okay, it 257 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:17.679 was okay. Yeah, I maybe had my expectations were too high, 258 00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.519 but it was nice. Arizona, Rea, remember beat with Slim 259 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.720 that was the Candygate game and came back after being 260 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:25.759 down by fifteen or whatevers, and they didn't want the game. 261 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.039 I know, Caron o'no, what took a team there got beat? 262 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.039 So I've been there a few times covering the teams, 263 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.159 so it wasn't even duke. Last year when I went, 264 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.919 it was okay, it was it was okay. 265 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.120 You know a lot of those places look better on TV. 266 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.960 Yes, and that's why the people fans when they see 267 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.639 them on TV, they want Arizona to have the skis 268 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.840 on the sideline. Blah blah blah. It's just made for TV. 269 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:46.879 It's not reality. 270 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:47.960 It's a TV show. 271 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.799 And for the first time I went to the old 272 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.159 Cowboys Dallas at the stadium, you know, like. 273 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:55.720 Oh my god, this. 274 00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.960 I know, and so it's you know, it's all it's 275 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.320 it's a show we talk about. 276 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:02.240 You know, it's an event. 277 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.399 People want an event from the time that they buy 278 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.960 a ticket to the time they get home. 279 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:07.000 They want an experience. 280 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.960 The best places I loved and I Matt Court is 281 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.360 my favorite place in Oregon, a fantastic place. It felt 282 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.480 like it was going to fall down, break down during 283 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.799 a game because it was so old, so rickety, and 284 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.960 then if anybody lit a match would burn down in 285 00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.120 a heartbeat. But Stanford, when Stanford had my Montgommy, there 286 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.080 was always out there and the floor would bounce and 287 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:28.360 it would go crazy. To me, that was ten times 288 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.600 better than Duke's place because it was crazy good, crazy good. 289 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:34.639 Yeah, just a different time. 290 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.159 You know, you'd have three four year kids playing, you know, 291 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:40.840 you could you could really buy into them. I mean, 292 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.360 I know it's cliche, and I know it's you know, 293 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.799 we sound like old guys, but it's you know, there 294 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:45.559 was there was something there. 295 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.399 Things will change. I really believe that. 296 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.720 You know, this twenty million dollars is getting infused to 297 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:55.600 each each institution. Well, hopefully even things out so some 298 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.919 kids will stay, they won't seek the payday, they won't 299 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:01.039 they won't leave. They might commit to two or three 300 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:03.320 years and then hopefully it gives us some stability. 301 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.200 Right well, I think what it's going to do is 302 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.039 going to affect the high school levels because now you 303 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.879 have high school kids from their parents. Are you know 304 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.000 a little Johnny, you got to go to college because 305 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.879 you're going to make one hundred and eighty two hundred 306 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.519 thousand dollars and you're going to help the family. I 307 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.320 know I probably would have been that way, even though 308 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.919 I wasn't that way. I'm not a helicopter dad. Just 309 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:23.720 wanted the kids to have a fun time. And enjoy 310 00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:24.200 their lives. 311 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:24.639 Right. 312 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.279 The number one thing I told parents when I was coaching. 313 00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:28.600 They said, hey, you got to help my kid get 314 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.799 a scholarship to college. And I said, well, let's let 315 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.320 them hit the books, because right. 316 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:34.039 Right, right right, make sure they get a kid. Yeah, 317 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.080 people don't understand how important that is. 318 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.000 You know, Let's make sure they do that because then 319 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.399 the rest will followed, you know, because most kids, you know, 320 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:42.720 it's a percentage game. 321 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:42.919 Yea. 322 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.039 The kids that play high school sports, three or four 323 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:46.919 percent of them playing college, then three or four percent 324 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.039 of those play in the NFL or professionals. 325 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.320 So that's what I was going to ask you because 326 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:51.679 we know the number, so we kind of know the 327 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:54.320 numbers for the NFL and NBA. What about for running 328 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:55.320 in scholarships? 329 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.080 You know, so you talk about Title nine. 330 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.840 You know a lot of schools cross country and track 331 00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.279 and some of those low maintenance sports are an easy 332 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.360 way for them to have a full fledged athletic department. 333 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.960 Not a lot of money to run a program, but 334 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.480 you can have twelve fifteen kids, you know, boys, men 335 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.559 and women, and so it's a nice way for some 336 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.759 Total nine golf, cross country, yeah, swimming, not swimming so much. 337 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.080 But some of these these Division two schools, you know, 338 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:29.120 it's a nice place because running, you know, you don't 339 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.639 have to go to a huge program to be a 340 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:31.159 great runner. 341 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.559 You go to a good coach. You know. Then a 342 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.279 good coach. 343 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.840 Might be at like you know, you see Santa Cruz, 344 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.639 which is maybe Division two, but they're a great coach. 345 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:41.919 They're going to help you achieve your dreams because your 346 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.840 pro is not playing in the league, might be qualifying 347 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.879 for the Olympics or yeah, you know right right. 348 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.080 In fact, I have friends with Randy a set that 349 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.159 who you are. And then his son is going to 350 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.320 a Division two or three. 351 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.159 He's going to Colorado colorad Springs, and you go for 352 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.399 a coach, you know, so you know, Eric his Randy's kid, 353 00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:02.039 you know, as a talented high school runner, you know, 354 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:03.799 but if he went to a big school, he'd get 355 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:06.440 you know. Yeah, that's why I wasn't coming out of 356 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:08.240 high school. You know, I wanted to go to the UVE, 357 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.440 but everybody had been the number one runner in their 358 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.440 state at the UV, you know, and so going there 359 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.559 you can get overwhelmed.
