Speaker 5: coming up.
Speaker 2: As long as the bus doesn't hit me. I'm fine.
Speaker 5: The way you talk about ex wives around here, it's
Speaker 5: like I feel like I'm his wife. Okay, Okay, it's
Speaker 5: kind of like gone and forgotten probably by five o
Speaker 5: five on Friday.
Speaker 4: You're you're here Monday, right, yep, we won't know what
Speaker 4: the hell who he is by Monday.
Speaker 2: Who is the guy that? What's that guy?
Speaker 6: Guy?
Speaker 2: What's that guy?
Speaker 4: We're gonna say, you know, could be doing the j thing?
Speaker 4: What the hell his name? I think, what the hell
Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not even worried about that. I'm just
Speaker 4: like gone and forgotten in no time for well, I'm
Speaker 4: already call making calls to see who can or who
Speaker 4: will or whatever. I might just do it my own
Speaker 4: for a while. But besides the point, so so uh
Speaker 4: one of our readers, I think one of our listeners
Speaker 4: sent me a note and he said, uh, some people
Speaker 4: are talking about you guys, Jay leaving, you guys not
Speaker 4: being together, And I said, well, what was the sentiment? Well,
Speaker 4: you guys are going together. You have a little chemistry,
Speaker 4: like you said yesterday. And he said, you're like you're
Speaker 4: like Dean Martin, He's like j Lewis, Oh man, I'm
Speaker 4: just guy.
Speaker 2: You're the you're the funny guy, or you're the guy
Speaker 2: who makes kind of.
Speaker 5: You know that was that was the stud and the nerd. Okay, no,
Speaker 5: not like being the nerdy Jerry.
Speaker 4: You were the you're the guy that kind of we
Speaker 4: kind of made fun of the kod stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know you went along with it. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it's fine, You're fine. I'm not sure I like the
Speaker 2: Dean Martin Jerry Lewis thing. I like to think that.
Speaker 2: I like to think more like Paul Newman and Robert Redford.
Speaker 2: How's that? Okay?
Speaker 5: I don't care which one you want to be. You know,
Speaker 5: Paul Newman he was sort of the lead guy in
Speaker 5: the Sting for those of you who can remember that movie, right,
Speaker 5: And Robert Redford was the kid, you know, the the
Speaker 5: what do you call it, the protege? You know, you
Speaker 5: had been doing this long before I was, So I
Speaker 5: feel like I've always been that guy.
Speaker 2: So I'm Robert Redford, you're Paul. Who would be Andy Garcia?
Speaker 2: And who would be the other?
Speaker 5: It could be Andy Garcia and not cheating no, and
Speaker 5: it's not cheating.
Speaker 2: Chong, and it's not George Lopez. I don't I think
Speaker 2: Andy Garcia has a partner. He didn't really have him,
Speaker 2: and I don't know if there is there is. They don't.
Speaker 2: The dudes can't get along, okay.
Speaker 5: The whole Mexican culture is if you're successful, the other
Speaker 5: Mexicans don't want you to be successful.
Speaker 4: I'll say this because you know we're both Hispanic. And
Speaker 4: I've used this analogy a number of times. I don't
Speaker 4: know if I've used it with you here, but it's
Speaker 4: the crab mentality, and I'm sure that people who are
Speaker 4: Hispanic are listening to It doesn't exist. It doesn't exist.
Speaker 4: So you have you have a few crabs in the bucket,
Speaker 4: right uh. And one tries to get out and he's
Speaker 4: almost out. What happens exactly?
Speaker 2: You ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 5: So there's a there's a great George Lopez kit on
Speaker 5: one of his early CDs talking about exactly that, how
Speaker 5: Hispanics and Mexicans in particular.
Speaker 2: And I experienced this in my family.
Speaker 5: I think family that if you're successful, the rest of
Speaker 5: the family resents it.
Speaker 2: They're pissed. I look at him and everything of himself.
Speaker 2: Short story, but a true story.
Speaker 5: My brother was running for county attorney, Okay, and he
Speaker 5: went knocking door to door on our old street, Okay,
Speaker 5: and the guy told him he wasn't voting for him
Speaker 5: because he left the neighborhood and instead he was going
Speaker 5: to vote for the white chick who had never been
Speaker 5: south of River Road. He was going to vote for
Speaker 5: her because he was mad at him. And it's a
Speaker 5: true story, you know. So if there's people out there
Speaker 5: who said, you guys.
Speaker 2: Are making it up, no we're not. No, we're not.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: So now we don't have to hear about this on Monday,
Speaker 4: it will be normal, just us, just us.
Speaker 2: But no, Okay, So we have a couple of days today,
Speaker 2: Tomorrow and Friday. We're going to make our usual Friday
Speaker 2: picks right right, and I'm going to keep doing that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, every Friday. I'm going to call in on Fridays
Speaker 5: and we'll get our picks. By the way, we sucked
Speaker 5: last week. Both it was horrible, horrible. I sucked just
Speaker 5: a little worse than I did. We're tired now, Okay,
Speaker 5: we've got only seven points after three weeks. That which
Speaker 5: is bad. It went perfect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to.
Speaker 5: You need to average three points and we're two on
Speaker 5: two points under that already three weeks into it.
Speaker 4: No, it's about the only you gotta save me was
Speaker 4: uh was Deon Sanders. But I want to talk about
Speaker 4: this right now because we've talked about this a little,
Speaker 4: but now Dion is ripping the media a shock there
Speaker 4: again about about yeah, that we're the media, that we're
Speaker 4: the media is too tough on college athletes after these
Speaker 4: nil deals. Wrong, you were exactly right. I don't know
Speaker 4: how the guys feel. And we were talking to h
Speaker 4: matthe you here before when you were out on Monday. Uh,
Speaker 4: guess what they're making big boy money. Yeah, they're making
Speaker 4: big boy money. Territory, big boy issues.
Speaker 2: It comes with the territory.
Speaker 5: Like I said when yesterday when I singled out Djule
Speaker 5: and how bad he's playing, with the amount of money
Speaker 5: he's making. If you want to make that money, you
Speaker 5: got to take the other things that come within it.
Speaker 5: Deon Sanders is full of crap if he's saying that,
Speaker 5: I haven't seen any of that, but came out yesterday
Speaker 5: to follow what you know, what you just said now
Speaker 5: And maybe he's maybe he's he's talking about his own
Speaker 5: kid and and Travis Hunter and all that. But no,
Speaker 5: if you want to make that money, then you take
Speaker 5: all the other things that.
Speaker 4: Come with there are consequences with it. In fact, I
Speaker 4: guess Hunter just made a big deal with nerd Wallet.
Speaker 4: One of those big things with with Juju from USC
Speaker 4: and a couple of other players so that's even more money. Right,
Speaker 4: how do you avoid not if they don't perform?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: Being a critique of that.
Speaker 5: Right, right, And then it goes to the discussion. You know,
Speaker 5: you're you're the booster. You're giving money to the university,
Speaker 5: either by through the tickets or you know, just flat donations,
Speaker 5: and a guy is not performing, you're going to be
Speaker 5: less likely to hand over more of that money down
Speaker 5: the road.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know that we've spoken to and we wouldn't
Speaker 4: I wouldn't bother him now, but h and they're not
Speaker 4: the issue. Noah and Noah and Uh and Tac. But
Speaker 4: Umberto put a little money on it that he did
Speaker 4: to you know, but on the come that they would
Speaker 4: come and they so far, so good, So far so good,
Speaker 4: those two, right, But but the team itself listen.
Speaker 5: Missing look and I look, there's not I'm not saying
Speaker 5: that this could happen or what happened, or let's say
Speaker 5: teammate goes out and Uh gets the dui, right, maybe
Speaker 5: he suspended from the team. If you're Humberto Lopez, what
Speaker 5: are you thinking?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? Good? The good thing is these they're very good,
Speaker 2: good kids. They're good kids. We know that.
Speaker 4: And of these kids are and that's part of the
Speaker 4: success that you you want to reward good kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: He also said that the media, and we're kind of
Speaker 4: two dudes here in the room, is jealous or they're
Speaker 4: jealous of the money that they're making.
Speaker 2: Oh stop, oh my god.
Speaker 5: You know what if we were jealous, that jealousy would
Speaker 5: have come out fifteen years ago when NFL contracts got
Speaker 5: into the tens of millions of dollars. Well, actually, I
Speaker 5: mean we're a little jealous because we're like, I wish
Speaker 5: I'd been that good of an athlete. But in terms
Speaker 5: of do I get up at a press conference and
Speaker 5: I start hammering on Shador Sanders because he's making all
Speaker 5: that money. No, but if he gets out of line,
Speaker 5: he's fair game.
Speaker 4: Well here's the headline in the US today because I
Speaker 4: saw it somewhere else as well. Theon Sanders criticized the
Speaker 4: media for being too harsh on college athletes jealous of
Speaker 4: the nil money. Let me say this, and I'm not
Speaker 4: speaking out of turn. College kids were making money before
Speaker 4: this l al stuff.
Speaker 2: And Steve, I'm happy for them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they've had this coming a long time ago.
Speaker 5: I'm happy for them to be making this money. They
Speaker 5: should be making this money and should have been making
Speaker 5: it a long time ago. For him to say that
Speaker 5: we're jealous of that, get the hell out of here, right,
Speaker 5: Deon is he's lost, He's I don't know what.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just don't know what goes through
Speaker 2: his brain.
Speaker 5: He sees things from a completely different world or perspective
Speaker 5: everybody else.
Speaker 4: And he is in a different world. He's got that,
Speaker 4: He's got that cashet. He was a great aff and
Speaker 4: one of the best ever. Actually, so people who listen
Speaker 4: to him and and quote him for everything, and they're
Speaker 4: quoting him on this, maybe it might be softer or whatever,
Speaker 4: but guess what, his they're still paying attention to what
Speaker 4: he says.
Speaker 5: Right well, it seems it seems like every day he
Speaker 5: says or does one more thing that makes me like
Speaker 5: him less.
Speaker 2: I liked him.
Speaker 4: Last week he made a they one they wanted to cover.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 4: That's all you got to do, cover for me, and
Speaker 4: we're tight. You you'll never pick Colorado unless you pick
Speaker 4: the team against him, right, Yeah, like you to you,
Speaker 4: they're getting close. They're they're they're kind of down the
Speaker 4: block from a s u for me. Right now because
Speaker 4: I just don't like. I just don't like. And what
Speaker 4: it means is I'll just stay away from him. You know,
Speaker 4: I just don't like the approach, the attitude, the US
Speaker 4: against them and metality when there doesn't need to be
Speaker 4: us against mentality's And you know what exactly because we've
Speaker 4: seen those coaches. We covered one of those coaches here
Speaker 4: where where. If you're going to learn from your coach,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna make him into man, and I'm
Speaker 4: gonna turn them into you know, they from here as kids,
Speaker 4: I leave his men.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: That that if if the media, local or otherwise are
Speaker 4: thought of as a very not adversaries, but just kind
Speaker 4: of the guys you don't want to talk here, Yeah,
Speaker 4: the bad guys, the guys, the kids, the students feel
Speaker 4: that way and just what they're not right.
Speaker 5: And and the thing is that so many of those
Speaker 5: kids they see that as an example and they take
Speaker 5: that for the rest of their life.
Speaker 4: Right well, and they're gonna say, I didn't realize you
Speaker 4: guys are pretty good guys. You know, when this happens,
Speaker 4: when their careers are over, when they're not on the pedestal,
Speaker 4: that people put them on and I know a lot
Speaker 4: of those dudes.
Speaker 2: They come back, Hey, how you doing. What's going on?
Speaker 2: This is maybe a guy who never talked to me
Speaker 2: because I was part of the media.
Speaker 4: And that's an extreme example because I couldn't even come
Speaker 4: up with them one but it happens.
Speaker 5: You know who's on those Mark Plantsford. Oh really he
Speaker 5: hated me? He hated me back, now you heard. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we're pals. You know, I shouldn't say het. He got
Speaker 5: mad at me once and but no, I shouldn't. I
Speaker 5: remember because I thought he's gonna beat me up this
Speaker 5: one time. But I shouldn't say it that way. Mark
Speaker 5: was dead. You know, we didn't have an adversary relationship.
Speaker 5: Which one time he got upset. It's something I wrote.
Speaker 5: I thought he was going to beat me up. He didn't,
Speaker 5: and you know we were fine after that. But there
Speaker 5: are there are people you guys aren't so bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, after a while.
Speaker 5: After a while, right, they get to know you a
Speaker 5: little bit and they realize you're just doing your job
Speaker 5: and you're trying to do a good job doing your day.
Speaker 4: Along those lines, guys, uh, I guess the biggest game
Speaker 4: you're looking for I'm not gonna put words in your mouth. Uh, Henry,
Speaker 4: is the Colorado game here? I think it's gonna be
Speaker 4: sold out. Why wouldn't it be, right.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm actually out of town for that game, so
Speaker 2: it's Henry get to get to Yeah.
Speaker 7: I've been looking at tickets to buy tickets and to
Speaker 7: find we're really ready already over one hundred dollars per
Speaker 7: ticket too, really really, Well, that's.
Speaker 4: A good news for Arizona and they still have people
Speaker 4: in the stands and people wanted to see them.
Speaker 7: Really, but don't you use student tickets? No, I didn't
Speaker 7: buy the pass. I didn't buy the pass. So like
Speaker 7: if you want to get the regular tickets like everyone else,
Speaker 7: think yess.
Speaker 4: Like, whoa wow, So I'll breaking news are there there
Speaker 4: there's tickets speeding.
Speaker 2: So then that's like in the month, right, something like.
Speaker 5: That, October something nineteenth, I think, okay, okay, October nineteenth.
Speaker 4: Well, that's good for Arizona. They'll have people in the stands.
Speaker 4: We don't even know the time with that g.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a second home game from now because they
Speaker 5: got Utah at Utah home against Texas Tech at b
Speaker 5: YU and then Colorado.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, but then we'll know I know a little
Speaker 4: bit more about Colorado. No exactly exactly. It'll be fighting
Speaker 4: for today.
Speaker 5: Mid I mean, they got spanked by Nebraska, you know,
Speaker 5: so we'll see we'll start to see who they are
Speaker 5: as well.
Speaker 2: Right, so looking forward to that. Hey, let's get to
Speaker 2: today's show.
Speaker 4: We have about a couple of minutes stuff here, another scramble,
Speaker 4: but we got some good people.
Speaker 2: Uh, coach piece, yeah, coming in.
Speaker 4: He's no longer coaching, and we can talk a little
Speaker 4: about that, how he feels about that. And then he's
Speaker 4: part of the Southern Arizona National Football Foundation. He just
Speaker 4: joined that, and he was named to the Hall of
Speaker 4: Fame of his high school. I think it's CEO. I'm
Speaker 4: not too sure words that. We'll ask him about that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: sots about that. And then on the second hour.
Speaker 5: In the second hour, good friend of Steve's, at least
Speaker 5: because I've never met him, Kyle.

Speaker 2: time he's been one of the most fantastic. He's a
Speaker 2: good dude. He got it. He's like burying and he
Speaker 2: gets it.
Speaker 4: And he probably wouldn't be the guy that he is
Speaker 4: financially and otherwise had he not piled up with the media.
Speaker 5: Right, because we're here. He was a darling of the media.
Speaker 5: We're here to help. People loved him here because he
Speaker 5: was friendly. He seemed like a good guy and and
Speaker 5: he was approachable all those things.
Speaker 4: And remember what era he came in. He came at
Speaker 4: the end of Loot right in the beginning of Sean.
Speaker 4: But he'd already established that good guy mentality when he
Speaker 4: was with Loot Right. What do you need? What can
Speaker 4: I do? Stuff like that. We'll ask him about it.
Speaker 4: How important that is? Yeah, and how successful he is
Speaker 4: because he's been huge. Yeah, and he's doing well.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I want to talk to him about China. Man, he's
Speaker 5: been trying to mad a long time over there.

Speaker 6: weeks ago, and normally it's like a ten hour workdays
Speaker 6: for a football coach, and we were at the Great
Speaker 6: Wolf Lodge with my boys. So those are the benefits
Speaker 6: that I'm getting back, So appreciating those moments for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's time you can get back, right eventually. And
Speaker 4: one and two it must have been I don't think
Speaker 4: we talked since you since you did you left or
Speaker 4: you did leave?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: So so isn't it great Jay to go out on
Speaker 2: your own terms? Oh? Better than anything? Right?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think it was cool, you know, being able
Speaker 6: to be the head coach for fifteen years. It doesn't
Speaker 6: happen too often anymore, so, you know. But yeah, there
Speaker 6: are pieces I missed, but right now, you know, finding
Speaker 6: out that there's more device than football, you know. So
Speaker 6: it's been good, all right?
Speaker 5: So what are you doing with your with all that
Speaker 5: extra time? Besides joining the National Football Foundation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know it was. We had our first meeting
Speaker 6: the other night, and it was awesome to be around
Speaker 6: adults because right now I'm doing physical education teaching pe
Speaker 6: and at a at an elementary, so I'm dealing with
Speaker 6: K five kindergarteners are getting the best of me. So
Speaker 6: being a part of the National Football Foundation has been awesome.
Speaker 6: Grateful for coach Kiss to give me the opportunity. He actually,
Speaker 6: I think it was in January. He's like, hey, when
Speaker 6: everything kind of went down, He's like, hey, I'm going
Speaker 6: to reach out to you about all this, and I'm
Speaker 6: super excited about being a part of it.
Speaker 5: I got to ask you, have you taught the kindergarteners
Speaker 5: the updowns yet or any of that stuff.
Speaker 6: It's funny, you know, it definitely humbles me because you know,
Speaker 6: you just got to do totally different ball game from
Speaker 6: one end of the spectrum to the other. So you know,
Speaker 6: naturally my football stuff comes out, but not to kindergartener.
Speaker 5: So I've heard adults say that their teenage kids are
Speaker 5: acting like kindergarteners, So how different is it really?
Speaker 6: But here's a great thing is kindergarten are supposed to
Speaker 6: act my kid, you know, so when you're dealing with
Speaker 6: high school kids they are acting that way, then it
Speaker 6: becomes yeah, a little bit freshery. So a lot of
Speaker 6: benefits there to working with those kids.
Speaker 4: The funny thing that the most pre same thing party
Speaker 4: for them as us, mister peace coach piece can where's
Speaker 4: the restroom?
Speaker 2: Getting the bathroom.
Speaker 6: Totally you know, and they kind of know about cdo
Speaker 6: but they don't have any idea. They just you know,
Speaker 6: they just they just like me where I am. And
Speaker 6: it's not that I've you know, I've been a coach
Speaker 6: or doing any of these other things. So it's definitely
Speaker 6: a new pase.
Speaker 2: But it's cool. I was gonna say kindergarten cup, but
Speaker 2: it's not really so so garden coach coach.
Speaker 4: Right, right, So before we go into the foundation and stuff. Uh,
Speaker 4: and I talk about this with Jay and the guys
Speaker 4: we have on who are like you coaches or players. Uh,
Speaker 4: there's always that competitive itch. There's always did you say
Speaker 4: goodbye forever or just for no?
Speaker 6: I think just for now, you know. Just it's a
Speaker 6: pretty prime time I think for my boys, my kids
Speaker 6: who are in the first in the fourth grade, and uh,
Speaker 6: really want to give them the time they need as
Speaker 6: a family, because you know, being a high school folk
Speaker 6: all coach or a basketball coach or anything in high school,
Speaker 6: your family, not just your immediate family, but your extended
Speaker 6: family takes on a huge burden because you know, who's
Speaker 6: taking care of the kids, who's picking up the kids,
Speaker 6: who's getting lunch, and who's going to doctor's appointments like
Speaker 6: you know. So I'm grateful that I had that support
Speaker 6: to do it, but it takes you know, everybody to
Speaker 6: be able to be able to give so much time
Speaker 6: to your high school students.
Speaker 2: Okay, so here's another another dad question.
Speaker 5: Then you know you've been up close and personal with
Speaker 5: the concussions, the blown out knees, the busted up shoulders,
Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera as a high school coach.
Speaker 2: Are your kids going to be playing tackle football?
Speaker 6: Are they going to be playing football?
Speaker 2: The tackle football?
Speaker 6: Uh? You know, yes they will, I'm sure, just because
Speaker 6: they love sports, you know. But my other, my oldest one,
Speaker 6: I'm trying to get him into golf.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 6: My little one's a bruiser, so he might end up
Speaker 6: being a football kind of guy. But without a doubt,
Speaker 6: you know, anybody can get injured, I think on any
Speaker 6: any form or fashion, but I would say that I'm
Speaker 6: not We're not going to start early. I'll openly say
Speaker 6: that that I don't think at certain ages they don't
Speaker 6: need to they don't need to be getting that extra contact,
Speaker 6: especially when you know you're just not aware of your
Speaker 6: body yet enough yet and just fall on the ground
Speaker 6: and hitting your head on the with the helmet is
Speaker 6: can cause a concussion. And once one of those concussions start,
Speaker 6: it's kind of like they become more. You get more
Speaker 6: and more to become repetitive, because just like a bruise.
Speaker 6: I'm not no expert or no doctor or nothing, but
Speaker 6: when a kid had got a concussion in our program,
Speaker 6: the likelihood that they would get another one is higher,
Speaker 6: I think than than a kid that hasn't. That could
Speaker 6: I could be wrong with science and on that, but
Speaker 6: that's what I tended to notice.
Speaker 2: So how old are your boys?
Speaker 6: They're in for ten and six?
Speaker 2: Yeah still young?
Speaker 4: Yeah, still young, and you're dealing with kind of your
Speaker 4: your son's age or six year old at school. Okay,
Speaker 4: So how do you like the Foundation.
Speaker 6: Foundations off? I mean, we had our first meeting, our
Speaker 6: second meeting. First one was on Zoom, but we were
Speaker 6: just some Monday we had it and just being a
Speaker 6: part of that collective group of like, you know, you
Speaker 6: got coach Kish, who's a you know, deepensive coort at
Speaker 6: the University of Arizona. You got you got Olympians, Lacey Nymeyer,
Speaker 6: you got coach Bush, you know who was a Frank Bush,
Speaker 6: who was the Olympic swim coach. You know, just all
Speaker 6: these minds in the room trying to bring our community together.
Speaker 6: And they're not even football all football teams, right, but
Speaker 6: they understand that, you know, sport in general to bring
Speaker 6: our community together, and they just care about our community.
Speaker 6: And I'm blessed to be a part of it. You know.
Speaker 6: When I was in high school, I was actually a
Speaker 6: recipient of their award, and then I was able to
Speaker 6: have several CEO players become recipients of their award. And
Speaker 6: now I get to kind of help the side who
Speaker 6: gets those awards. So it's been a nice full circle
Speaker 6: for me personally, but more excited to give back in
Speaker 6: the game in different ways, you know, because it's not
Speaker 6: all just about wins and losses, and we all know
Speaker 6: that as coaches and tried about these opportunities, making deeper
Speaker 6: connections in other ways.
Speaker 5: You know, and they and and Tim Kish has really
Speaker 5: done an incredible job, you know, taking that a little
Speaker 5: further than where it had been before. Uh, with that
Speaker 5: program that they do, I think in the spring or
Speaker 5: early summer, where you know, potential Division two Division three
Speaker 5: athletes get an opportunity for scholarships and stuff, all the
Speaker 5: clinics and things that they do. There's just so much
Speaker 5: more that this group is doing. And to be a
Speaker 5: part of that as a coach, I guess, you know,
Speaker 5: it still gives you maybe a little bit of that
Speaker 5: getting involved in those things one.
Speaker 6: Hundred percent, you know, because like you said, we're going
Speaker 6: to run our showcase in February.
Speaker 2: February, okay, I mean yeah.
Speaker 6: In February, because it's right before you know, kids started
Speaker 6: getting ready to sign and go to college, and they
Speaker 6: gave out a lot of thousands of dollars of scholarships
Speaker 6: were awarded during that during last spring. So I'm grateful
Speaker 6: to be a part of that because I know how
Speaker 6: that process kind of works as a coach and how
Speaker 6: difficult it is and to have that kind of service
Speaker 6: and support free too hard. To our student athletes. It's just,
Speaker 6: you know, a blessing for a coach because it takes
Speaker 6: a lot of burden off of your shoulders because parents
Speaker 6: are like, you know, we want to say championship. And
Speaker 6: I had one kid get a scholarship, like you know,
Speaker 6: Chicotti Woodard. It was the only kid who got a scholarship,
Speaker 6: and everybody's asking, you know, we just were pretty good
Speaker 6: at football, right, you know, But it takes a lot
Speaker 6: of effort to make that happen and events like that.
Speaker 6: But yeah, coach Kischer is doing that event. We have
Speaker 6: so many more events. Branching out into girls flag football
Speaker 6: has been awesome, you know. So just reaching the community
Speaker 6: in so many ways and bringing our community together has
Speaker 6: been great to be.
Speaker 2: A part of. How cool is it to see your
Speaker 2: former stud Luke doing really well with the.
Speaker 6: U A oh man, I can't tell you.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 6: The greatest part about you know, the whole thing and
Speaker 6: him getting on the field is just when coach coach
Speaker 6: was talking about him, I think the first week and
Speaker 6: then his teammates were talking about how great of a
Speaker 6: teammate he is, and that that kind of brought more
Speaker 6: joy to my heart than actually seeing him on the field,
Speaker 6: but just knowing that his coaches and his teammates love
Speaker 6: him just like we love him because we knew him
Speaker 6: like that. You know, we know how much he likes
Speaker 6: football and how much he cares about his teammates. And
Speaker 6: I'm just glad that's already, you know, in a couple
Speaker 6: of months in, they already know who he is. You know,
Speaker 6: he's about the team, and he doesn't you know, he's
Speaker 6: not a kid that's going to be in the portal,
Speaker 6: are going to be looking for nil money. He just
Speaker 6: wants to play football at the University of Arizona. And
Speaker 6: I think, uh, that's that's what our city is about.
Speaker 6: And we embrace that blue car out of caller mentality
Speaker 6: and it's it's awesome. That's really cool.
Speaker 5: Well, I know he was a preferred walk on. I'm
Speaker 5: guessing he's gonna be on scholarship pretty soon. But how
Speaker 5: extraordinary is it that, you know, preferred walk on, true
Speaker 5: freshman and he's on the field. I mean, that's just
Speaker 5: kind of unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Yeah, is that everything happened so quickly, you know, But
Speaker 6: I think you guys and all the people that followed
Speaker 6: him the last few years know that like, Okay, he
Speaker 6: is short, but there's a reason we he was a
Speaker 6: SATs leading rusher and you know, two time wrestling state
Speaker 6: champ and we want to state championship there. Eventually, you
Speaker 6: have to you have to give some credit to this
Speaker 6: young man. And and he's definitely but he'll be the
Speaker 6: first he earns it. You know, none of that frustrating
Speaker 6: as that may have been. He's still he went to
Speaker 6: every spring practice. This last spring he didn't and he
Speaker 6: wasn't even playing. He just went to go observe and
Speaker 6: watch like he he's that involved in it.
Speaker 2: It's just you've been doing this. So you said fifteen years,
Speaker 2: we've known you all this time.
Speaker 4: Just if you can talk about how difficult and you said,
Speaker 4: only one dude got a scholarship, how difficult it is
Speaker 4: for kids to get a scholarship even though you're fantastic.
Speaker 2: Look at this dude two times stag chaps right, And
Speaker 2: we talked.
Speaker 4: I talk about wrestlers being the toughest dudes on the
Speaker 4: planet because they know angles, they know leverage, they know
Speaker 4: everything you know how to get to things. Just can
Speaker 4: you talk about that because are all the kids you've had,
Speaker 4: how many have actually gotten scholarships.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we have thirteen playing right now. The
Speaker 6: amount that I've gotten scholarships is difficult. Like I said
Speaker 6: last year, you know, being the best team in four
Speaker 6: A to have one kid get a Division one scholarship,
Speaker 6: it just says a lot about how hard it is,
Speaker 6: you know, for the kids. And it's tough. You got
Speaker 6: this transfer portal. You're reading articles like I read an
Speaker 6: article the other day where kid had eight is in
Speaker 6: his eighth year of playing football, Like holy cow. Well
Speaker 6: know eventually that that hit some freshmen or people down
Speaker 6: the line. But right, you know, but I think we're
Speaker 6: kind of getting out of that those COVID years and
Speaker 6: all those other things. But with the portal, it's just
Speaker 6: so tough for high school kids, and especially you know,
Speaker 6: kids like Kidden really came on a senior year. It's
Speaker 6: really hard for these kids that come have a great
Speaker 6: senior year to really you know, get a scholarship. You know,
Speaker 6: even even a guy like Rock Purty, he didn't start
Speaker 6: getting scholarships. So he was like, you know, in November
Speaker 6: of his senior year, right and here he is starting
Speaker 6: for an NFL football club. You know, so but you know,
Speaker 6: it's it's good to see those stories happen and see
Speaker 6: those kids stay persistent, you know, with with their goals
Speaker 6: and their dreams, and good things work out for kids
Speaker 6: like that are willing to work hard. So and I
Speaker 6: think we, you know, over the time, we've had hard
Speaker 6: working kids and cdo and they've been able to show out.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's it's a it's a much tougher dream
Speaker 6: than I think, you know, twenty years ago when I
Speaker 6: went to school, so, like more scholarships were available for
Speaker 6: more kids. So it's just it's definitely tough. But like
Speaker 6: the National Football Foundation being able to find like in
Speaker 6: a showcase that's more Division III, n AI maybe some
Speaker 6: Division two's and a lot of those programs are looking
Speaker 6: for kids to come to their programs. So it's kind
Speaker 6: of a reverse role where when they're not necessarily out
Speaker 6: searching for kids, like the program needs kids as well.
Speaker 6: So and we don't know about all these small schools
Speaker 6: that need football players in you know, Iowa or Dakoto,
Speaker 6: you know, so far from among us that bringing these
Speaker 6: opportunities in front of these kids is awesome.
Speaker 4: I was going to say maybe that one last thing
Speaker 4: not surprised, Well, Nil, you know, because it's it's difficult
Speaker 4: to are you seeing at your level maybe the need
Speaker 4: or the want for NIL stuff and parents kind of kneeling,
Speaker 4: the parents to hey, you've got to get my player
Speaker 4: to get some money or you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Helicopter cop, hilt and a helicopter cop but helicopter.
Speaker 6: Parents, yeah, you know they I don't know. You know,
Speaker 6: the AIA passed a bylaw that NIL to whatever degree
Speaker 6: it is, is available in high school athletics in Arizona.
Speaker 6: So I don't know the parameters and you know all
Speaker 6: the regulations of that. But that got past this summer,
Speaker 6: and when I read it, you know, I didn't read
Speaker 6: the details because I wasn't in it at All I
Speaker 6: did was they, Hey, thank goodness, how bad. That's all
Speaker 6: I said. And I took it from there. But yeah,
Speaker 6: it's you're gonna see it in the valley, you know,
Speaker 6: But in Tucson. I don't know how that happens. But
Speaker 6: besides guys like b Genre, besides guys like you know,
Speaker 6: Athan Ransom or could he carry or you know, get
Speaker 6: those level kind of guys, will there be people buying
Speaker 6: shirts or jerseys or things of that sort. I think
Speaker 6: it's coming, you know. So to what degree, we're not sure,
Speaker 6: but it definitely opened a can of worms that no
Speaker 6: high school coach in this city or this stake gets
Speaker 6: paid enough to deal with or you know, because even
Speaker 6: college coaches are stepping away from college because of that il.
Speaker 6: So you know that push on coaches, Holy cow, that
Speaker 6: would that would drive a lot of people. You know,
Speaker 6: I'd even say myself really out of coaching. IFA became,
Speaker 6: you know, discussion I'd have to have with parents and kids.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: Well, well, the coaches that have left are very happy
Speaker 4: that people are just like you are. Thank you very
Speaker 4: much for joining us.
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, thank you so much. Always a pleasure to
Speaker 6: be on here.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, talk to you soon. Being take care of
Speaker 2: those kids, get them in line, keep them in line.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 4: But that was Dustin Peace. Uh, former CDEO coach, the
Speaker 4: state champion last year. Uh what in life?
Speaker 2: You know, just kind of going on on your own.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I won a championship and said, okay, that's it
Speaker 5: for me for now, I'm out now he did say
Speaker 5: for now, right, but now helping with the National.
Speaker 2: Football mon see.
Speaker 4: I would be spared to see him with this guy
Speaker 4: nugent or kind of ease himself back, or just.
Speaker 2: Kind of maybe taking over another program. Yeah good, you
Speaker 2: could see that. Okay, let's take a break, come back,

Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so it'll be good. It'll be different, different
Speaker 4: system that we're using. Now, we're state of the art. Now,
Speaker 4: we're up to date. We are we're at nineteen ninety
Speaker 4: nine and.
Speaker 5: And we're and we're getting the nailed down because we're
Speaker 5: actually being able to use this technology where we had
Speaker 5: a whole day yesterday without interruptions in the in the
Speaker 5: feed and so it's a it's a pretty good we're
Speaker 5: you know, so far, so good today too. So knocking
Speaker 5: on wood, I think we have a collar. All right,
Speaker 5: let's take this collar. You're on the R and I
Speaker 5: on the ball.
Speaker 3: Hey, I was going to see what you would classify
Speaker 3: you of a football and basketball fans that they're more
Speaker 3: like Raider fans or cowboys.
Speaker 5: That's a good Cowboys fans to me, Basketball fans are
Speaker 5: kind of like Cowboys fans. They're football fans are neither
Speaker 5: like Raiders fans or cowboys.
Speaker 2: That's a good question. Yeah, good question.
Speaker 3: Would you say that you have a you have a
Speaker 3: football fans are more like the Los Angeles Chargers fans.
Speaker 5: They're they're more like the Carolina Panthers fans. No, that's
Speaker 5: a that's a bad thing to say.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure really in Europe, so you probably know
Speaker 2: this because you're asking the question where would you put
Speaker 2: them in? Why?
Speaker 3: I would put basketball definitely as cowboys. You know, they
Speaker 3: were good in the nineties and haven't been good since
Speaker 3: so popular. Yeah, and then and then yeah.
Speaker 6: I would say combination.
Speaker 3: I say, I would say La Chargers, probably for for
Speaker 3: our football fans, because you know, even if we're good,
Speaker 3: they're not going to really really show up. And if
Speaker 3: it's if it's something to do late at night, they'd
Speaker 3: rather just go out and party.
Speaker 2: There you go. Yea, Yeah, that's LEGiT's accurate, that's legit.
Speaker 2: The one thing, who's this again, j R?
Speaker 3: So I'm the Chris Rogers fans.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's.
Speaker 14: So so.
Speaker 4: The one thing about it, so far, so good with
Speaker 4: the students. We have a couple of students here, they've
Speaker 4: they've done very very well. Yeah, I'm proud of that.
Speaker 6: I think all that student housing that's messing up, all
Speaker 6: the traffic.
Speaker 3: And everything, and the property taxes.
Speaker 2: There's always a reason, right, Yeah, they're too young to
Speaker 2: get a fake idea.
Speaker 3: They're going to go to the game.
Speaker 2: So that's that is nice. Yeah, so yeah, no, I
Speaker 2: actually I like that.
Speaker 5: I like the I like the charges comparison because there's
Speaker 5: always this been this sort of an expectation, but they've
Speaker 5: never really reached the expectations. And once in a while
Speaker 5: they're really good and the fans kind of okay, you know.
Speaker 6: I mean, I do think it'll make a difference the
Speaker 6: earlier kickoff times that we get.
Speaker 2: I don't think that that's a big thing for me,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 6: I do remember when we were good.
Speaker 3: In nineties, two thousands stuff. It was a you know,
Speaker 3: two o'clock kickoff in the UCLA or something like that.
Speaker 3: It was a packed house, right, I.
Speaker 5: Think the one thing you can expect in that and
Speaker 5: then I'm just taking my queue and it's really only
Speaker 5: one example. Anytime any of the West Coast teams are
Speaker 5: playing each other, I think you can expect those games
Speaker 5: to be at night because they're going to want to
Speaker 5: save the daytime times for when they play, right, because
Speaker 5: the Utah game is a seven to fifteen game. When
Speaker 5: they played BYU were in the same time, so as them,
Speaker 5: it's gonna it's probably going to be a night game.
Speaker 5: Uh you know obviously you know ASU, but you know
Speaker 5: when you when you're going against West Virginia, they're not
Speaker 5: gonna want the West Virginia Arizona game in Tucson to
Speaker 5: be at ten thirty at night West Virginia time.
Speaker 2: So I think that there's to me I've got that expectation.
Speaker 5: And when they play the West Coast I should say
Speaker 5: West Coast the Western teams, those will be nine games
Speaker 5: for us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so thank you, thanks so much.
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask him your thoughts on the team
Speaker 4: and what he thought, but it's going to be the
Speaker 4: same as everybody else, wait and see. Kind of disappointed
Speaker 4: to this point the stuff that you hear. Do you
Speaker 4: have your Wednesday yet?
Speaker 2: And what they say.
Speaker 5: Obviously disappointed, you know that that that they were as
Speaker 5: bad as they were. Some hope that they'll fix things
Speaker 5: with Utah, but also a belief that if they come
Speaker 5: out with a similar result against Utah, you know, get
Speaker 5: beat up is what I'm saying. You know, if they
Speaker 5: don't play Utah tough and and and are in the
Speaker 5: game even if they lose, but they play them tough
Speaker 5: and are in the game, if they don't do that,
Speaker 5: that we're headed for a six and six or seven
Speaker 5: and five seasons.
Speaker 4: So we I've joked about this after maybe Monday, Well
Speaker 4: many you were gone Monday, so that couldn't have been happened.
Speaker 4: It couldn't happened. But the jinks we haven't talked about
Speaker 4: the jinks that's right. Let me tell you something, It's real.
Speaker 2: It's alive, it's alive.
Speaker 5: I think if you know, I've got that kod Arizona
Speaker 5: skull at my house in my garage and it's sitting
Speaker 5: in a spot that if this season goes to hell,
Speaker 5: I'm going to probably go throw that down in the
Speaker 5: street or something. Just bust the hell out of it,
Speaker 5: because you know, as a fan, you just want to
Speaker 5: see some continuity, right, And I'm not saying that Arizona
Speaker 5: needs to win ten games this year for it to
Speaker 5: be considered, you know, continuing a good run. But if
Speaker 5: they go six and six, it's kind of like ninety
Speaker 5: eight ninety nine and you're back to where you were.
Speaker 5: And that's what I don't want to see. I don't
Speaker 5: want there to be a feel at the end of
Speaker 5: this year that it's the same old Arizona. You know,
Speaker 5: you're hoping that this you were hoping that last year
Speaker 5: is ten and three was the start of something. But
Speaker 5: on the other hand, the ten and three Steve was
Speaker 5: it was such a surprise that, you know, maybe there
Speaker 5: were some things that happened right cam Rising was hurt.
Speaker 5: So they beat the hell out of UCLA out of Utah.
Speaker 5: You know when they you know, they played Oregon Stadium.
Speaker 5: There was all these expectations of Oregon State. Well DJ
Speaker 5: Luis Anglele was their quarterback, and they were not very good.
Speaker 5: You know, so maybe there were some things that happened
Speaker 5: last year that were extraordinary that helped get Arizona to
Speaker 5: ten wins, and maybe they were an eight win team
Speaker 5: that won ten games, right. You know, the Oklahoma game
Speaker 5: went south on him in such a hurry in the altomobile.
Speaker 5: But then you get this pick play pickoff for a
Speaker 5: touchdown and all a sudden, that game turns around. If
Speaker 5: that interception return for a touchdown doesn't happen, what's the
Speaker 5: score of that game?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, right, all right, we got another the caller.
Speaker 2: Let's take this. Hi, you're on the arm on the ball.
Speaker 16: Yeah, Hi, this is Jeff. I was just following up
Speaker 16: on the dusty piece thing. Yes, and you were talking
Speaker 16: you kind of you were joking about and before he
Speaker 16: was finally realized.
Speaker 2: How good he was. Yeah.
Speaker 16: And I'm actually I'm on the the Hall of Fame
Speaker 16: committee and he was voted in probably I think he
Speaker 16: graduated high school in ninety nine. It is like a
Speaker 16: ten year waiting period or whatever.
Speaker 6: H huh.
Speaker 16: Probably right after that he was chosen, but he just
Speaker 16: kind of deferred it because he was, you know, coaching
Speaker 16: football and couldn't get there on Friday nights when they
Speaker 16: do it.
Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, so he was the first ball at Hall
Speaker 2: of Famer is what you're saying? He was?
Speaker 16: Yeah, when he was elible, he was pretty much Okay.
Speaker 6: Well, what what what?
Speaker 5: What makes somebody a Hall of Famer at Floyd Wells?
Speaker 5: I guess that would be the question, what's that?
Speaker 6: What? What?
Speaker 2: What's the criteria? What makes somebody a Hall of Famer?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: At Floyd Wells High School?
Speaker 16: Well, they christially get nominated by somebody and then uh
Speaker 16: and then the committee kind of goes over it and
Speaker 16: they'll judge what they're ah, you know what they were
Speaker 16: basically like they were all state guy like best he was.
Speaker 16: I think he was a football and probably wrestling and
Speaker 16: then they we just kind of list them all out
Speaker 16: and we discussed him and choose who we think that's
Speaker 16: uh most worthy there. So he was they will get a.
Speaker 2: Sorry go ahead. So he must have been a heck
Speaker 2: of a football player and just as a heck of
Speaker 2: a wrestler. Did he win a state tyler or two?
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was.
Speaker 16: He played freshman as a he played VARs. He's a
Speaker 16: freshman over there. And then, uh, and they say he wrestled.
Speaker 16: I'm not sure it's wrestling, think, but I'm pretty sure
Speaker 16: he was all stayed in wrestling.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 16: And then so each year that probably was a pick
Speaker 16: a guy or two invant how many and a girl
Speaker 16: and then the pick a team.
Speaker 2: That's right? That was all right?
