- 1:33Speaker 3: what Seawan learned about this team against the rival by
- 1:36Speaker 3: U Koog's over the weekend and then the red hot
- 1:41Speaker 3: Utah Mammoth sh don't admit to yourself that they're red hot.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Don't talk about them being hot. We got over excited
- 1:50Speaker 3: about how hot they started the season, and it cursed
- 1:53Speaker 3: some things. So I reprimand myself take away one James
- 1:58Speaker 3: Peterson bonus point from myself for college. I already took
- 2:02Speaker 3: one hundred. Oh wow, that's a harsh punishment. It's like,
- 2:06Speaker 3: who's line is it? Anyway? The points don't matter, yes,
- 2:08Speaker 3: so yeah, that's minus on hundred points there. Adrian Danny
- 2:11Speaker 3: will join us to talk about the Mammoth six one
- 2:14Speaker 3: victory over the Maple Leafs last night at the Delta Center.
- 2:19Speaker 2: So a lot to get into there.
- 2:21Speaker 3: We marched closer and closer to the close of the
- 2:23Speaker 3: transfer portal, and I put a couple of poll questions
- 2:28Speaker 3: out in regard to that if only Rocky was here.
- 2:32Speaker 3: You could have said a pupple of whole question.
- 2:37Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't.
- 2:38Speaker 3: I didn't bring all Rocky into the studio today. I
- 2:41Speaker 3: should have, but I didn't. I think he got a
- 2:43Speaker 3: little bit of air time on the YouTube stream the
- 2:46Speaker 3: other day when he was just sprawled out behind you.
- 2:50Speaker 3: I love that. I love how he does that. By
- 2:51Speaker 3: the way, I'm mass stiff, right, that's yes, yes, just
- 2:55Speaker 3: gigantic dog you have.
- 2:56Speaker 2: He's a big boy.
- 2:57Speaker 3: He's only gonna get bigger, right, he's not quite full
- 3:00Speaker 3: grown yet, but he'll get bigger.
- 3:01Speaker 2: And uh yeah, he's he's a sweet guy.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Anyway. I put a couple of pole questions, a couple
- 3:10Speaker 3: of pole questions, a couple of pole questions out about
- 3:15Speaker 3: how you are handling the final couple of days of
- 3:17Speaker 3: the transfer portal window. And yes, thank you the well
- 3:21Speaker 3: actually from Twitter. Well actually they they don't have to
- 3:27Speaker 3: add the players now, they just have to declare their
- 3:29Speaker 3: intent to go into the transfer I know, I know,
- 3:34Speaker 3: but the goal for most of these coaching staffs is
- 3:37Speaker 3: to get their guys in the building as soon as possible.
- 3:41Speaker 3: If you're still in the transfer portal after Friday, meaning
- 3:46Speaker 3: you've put your name in there and you don't know
- 3:48Speaker 3: where you're headed yet. As a player, that's really bad
- 3:52Speaker 3: for you, because first of all, you're missing classes. You're
- 3:58Speaker 3: gonna have to figure out how to keep yourself academically eligible.
- 4:02Speaker 3: That probably means summer school if you're two weeks into
- 4:05Speaker 3: a semester and you haven't even enrolled in school yet
- 4:08Speaker 3: at your new spot. And also, we've seen this every
- 4:12Speaker 3: year that the transfer portal has existed, and we saw
- 4:14Speaker 3: it for years before we called it the transfer portal.
- 4:18Speaker 3: The vast majority of individuals who throw their name into
- 4:22Speaker 3: the transfer portal are not highly sought after. Are not
- 4:26Speaker 3: people who get multiple offers or get a better offer
- 4:31Speaker 3: than the one that they already had at the school
- 4:34Speaker 3: that they committed to initially of the school that they're
- 4:36Speaker 3: playing for. And that means if your name is in
- 4:40Speaker 3: the transfer portal after Friday, you have to be nervous.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Your palm's gotta be sweaty, knees, week arms, heavy, mom
- 4:50Speaker 3: spaghetti whatever. You have to be worried. If you're a
- 4:54Speaker 3: coach and after Friday you don't know the answer to
- 4:57Speaker 3: most of the questions you have about your roster. Also,
- 5:00Speaker 3: a really bad position to be in because again, the
- 5:06Speaker 3: cream of the crop is being skimmed right off the
- 5:09Speaker 3: top of that transfer portal. Yes, there's still gonna be
- 5:13Speaker 3: volume in there. There's gonna be names in there, There'll
- 5:15Speaker 3: be some diamonds in the rough. There'll be a couple
- 5:17Speaker 3: of gems to be found. But you're gonna have to
- 5:20Speaker 3: sort through a lot of refuse in order to get
- 5:23Speaker 3: to the point where you're like, oh, wait, look at this. Okay,
- 5:26Speaker 3: this cat. Did you see the guy by the way
- 5:28Speaker 3: from Hope College D three school? Hope? I can't remember
- 5:33Speaker 3: if it's a Hope College or Hope University D three
- 5:35Speaker 3: school up in like, I think it's like somewhere in
- 5:38Speaker 3: the upper Peninsula of Michigan. It's this tiny little place.
- 5:43Speaker 3: He's an All American defensive end for Hope College, and
- 5:47Speaker 3: he's an All American D three track star. Not a
- 5:52Speaker 3: wide receiver, not a corner. He is an All American
- 5:57Speaker 3: defense end and an All American track runner. He ran
- 6:01Speaker 3: a ten to four hundred and like a twenty one
- 6:04Speaker 3: second two hundred at six five, two hundred and forty pounds.
- 6:08Speaker 3: That's incredible. He is DK Metcalf. Yeah, because Metcalf tried
- 6:15Speaker 3: out for the did the Olympic trials one time, right, Well.
- 6:17Speaker 2: He ran a bunch.
- 6:18Speaker 3: He ran again against a bunch of like Olympic hopeful
- 6:22Speaker 3: type sprinters, and I think in the heat of six
- 6:25Speaker 3: guys he was sixth place. But he is also fifty
- 6:29Speaker 3: pounds heavier than every one of those guys. Yeah, gez
- 6:33Speaker 3: In any case, So this kid, somehow, even even in
- 6:36Speaker 3: today's world of college football, this kid who Utah has
- 6:42Speaker 3: offered now by the way, shout out to coach Bracterfield,
- 6:48Speaker 3: Shout out to Morgan Scalley, Shout out to Colton Swan.
- 6:53Speaker 3: His intention was he's a grad now, right, He's got
- 6:56Speaker 3: a year of eligibility left if he wants to as
- 6:58Speaker 3: a grad transfer All American at this little university in
- 7:04Speaker 3: Michigan that's like a miniature Netherlands of some sort. He
- 7:12Speaker 3: had like twenty one tackles for loss in fifteen sacks,
- 7:16Speaker 3: and he's six' five and two hundred and forty pounds
- 7:20Speaker 3: and can run faster than most receivers in college. Football
- 7:24Speaker 3: how does that guy end up at A d three?
- 7:27Speaker 3: School and how does that guy stay at A d three?
- 7:29Speaker 3: School for the last four, years his plan was to
- 7:35Speaker 3: be done with football and to work on his master's
- 7:39Speaker 3: degree at The university Of michigan.
- 7:43Speaker 2: For obvious.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Reasons somebody close to, HIM i think it was a,
- 7:48Speaker 3: coach was just, like you, know you probably don't have
- 7:50Speaker 3: to pay for your master's degree if you don't want.
- 7:53Speaker 3: To you're An All american football, player, yes at THE
- 7:57Speaker 3: d three, level but you're An All american and the
- 7:59Speaker 3: trains for portal. Exists why don't you inform the new
- 8:03Speaker 3: coaching staff At michigan that you want to be. There
- 8:06Speaker 3: it's crazy that these, guys these diamonds in the rough
- 8:09Speaker 3: are still out. There but it's just a small example
- 8:13Speaker 3: of what you're looking at mostly at the end of
- 8:16Speaker 3: this the tail end of this transfer.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Cycle so the QUESTIONS i put out.
- 8:21Speaker 3: There what defensive position room is your top priority to
- 8:26Speaker 3: add talent before the portal window? Closes edge, rusher, linebacker defensive,
- 8:31Speaker 3: back interierior d, lineman.
- 8:34Speaker 2: And the same question for your.
- 8:36Speaker 3: Offense and forgive Me utah fans IF i left quarterback
- 8:40Speaker 3: out of the, mix because yesterday we got the official
- 8:43Speaker 3: Announcement devin Dan pierre is. Back. Bird ficklin has now
- 8:48Speaker 3: twice told us since the end of the season and he's,
- 8:50Speaker 3: Back SO i think your quarterback room is probably pretty.
- 8:54Speaker 3: Good i'm knocking on what AS i say, it because
- 9:00Speaker 3: a two deep should be good enough for your quarterback,
- 9:02Speaker 3: position but in recent years we've seen them have to
- 9:05Speaker 3: go five. Deep shout out to The Ferrari Luke, puttari
- 9:08Speaker 3: who unfortunately made an announcement also yesterday that he's going To.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Michigan hate to see. That in any, CASE.
- 9:18Speaker 3: I want to know you're THE, gm put YOUR gm
- 9:21Speaker 3: hat on and tell me.
- 9:24Speaker 2: What your top priority.
- 9:25Speaker 3: IS i know that the real answer to the question
- 9:29Speaker 3: is you want to add talent at every. Position you
- 9:31Speaker 3: want to get as many guys as you can that
- 9:33Speaker 3: you think can. Play but knowing Where Utah football's roster
- 9:40Speaker 3: is at right, now knowing what we know about the
- 9:43Speaker 3: guys that have, recommitted the guys that are, staying where
- 9:47Speaker 3: are your top? Priorities knowing what you have to, replace

- 11:32Speaker 2: And tight.
- 11:32Speaker 3: End Mel kuiper puts out his lists of the top
- 11:37Speaker 3: players in each position. Room he did a top ten
- 11:41Speaker 3: at every position for the UPCOMING nfl. Draft Caleb lomo
- 11:46Speaker 3: And Spencer fanal were both top ten. Tackles final he
- 11:50Speaker 3: had his number, two AND i Think lomu was like number, Five,
- 11:57Speaker 3: James where do you think Mel kiper Had Allen bentley
- 12:00Speaker 3: of the draft eligible tight ends in this upcoming? Class
- 12:05Speaker 3: as in like, ranking positional, ranking positional ranking of the
- 12:09Speaker 3: guys that are headed into THE. Nfl obviously you're gonna
- 12:13Speaker 3: see both offensive. Tackles every one of those, lists whether
- 12:16Speaker 3: It's Mike, melkiper whether It's todd, McShay whoever does those
- 12:20Speaker 3: lists now is going to Put Spencer fono either one
- 12:24Speaker 3: two or. Three they're gonna Put Kleb lomu slightly lower than,
- 12:28Speaker 3: that but those guys are gonna be on the top
- 12:31Speaker 3: ten on everyone's, list so don't be. Surprised Dallan, bentley,
- 12:35Speaker 3: though had an incredible, year kind of quietly because a
- 12:39Speaker 3: lot of the conversation around the offense, was of course
- 12:42Speaker 3: the run game that had second best rushing attack in the,
- 12:45Speaker 3: country top block well draft. Evaluators that's the other thing is,
- 12:51Speaker 3: like he had a quietly dominant year catching the. Ball
- 12:55Speaker 3: but also he was he's like a traditional tight. End
- 12:58Speaker 3: he's a, big, strong st. Dude have you Seen Dallan.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Bentley he could be like if he could be guessed
- 13:04Speaker 3: on At Disney. World, yeah he. Was he. Was he
- 13:07Speaker 3: looked like he was bursting out of his pads every
- 13:10Speaker 3: time he saw him on the field.
- 13:11Speaker 2: There dude was awesome and big.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Dude, again remember the, context this is after you've had
- 13:17Speaker 3: this run of tight ends that you thought were going
- 13:18Speaker 3: to be or actually were some of the best players
- 13:22Speaker 3: on your. Team and we didn't talk about him that
- 13:24Speaker 3: way when we were going into the twenty twenty five.
- 13:27Speaker 3: Season the tight end conversation that was happening at The
- 13:31Speaker 3: university Of utah was actually around Land Or barton getting
- 13:34Speaker 3: reps at the tight end. Spot Dallan bentley ended up
- 13:38Speaker 3: being one of the best tight ends in the, conference
- 13:42Speaker 3: certainly A i, think great surprise on your.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Offense where do you think Mel kuiper has?
- 13:49Speaker 3: Him is he top? Ten is he? Like is he
- 13:52Speaker 3: the top? Ten he's three, three which you love to see.
- 13:56Speaker 3: It and that's not, gospel because Mel kuiper is wrong
- 13:59Speaker 3: just as as he's. Right in, fact he's wrong way
- 14:01Speaker 3: more than he's. Right, yeah, nowadays but he's got a
- 14:06Speaker 3: lot of love For Dallan. Bentley and as much as
- 14:09Speaker 3: you shouldn't put too much credence into the opinion of
- 14:11Speaker 3: one particular, writer like this is how it works in
- 14:16Speaker 3: the draft. Process you get people talking about, you and
- 14:19Speaker 3: then people pay attention to. You the scouts can't help,
- 14:22Speaker 3: it the teams can't help. It those of us in the,
- 14:26Speaker 3: media we just cannot help. Ourselves if it's a name we,
- 14:30Speaker 3: know we pay extra close. Attention when The Underwear olympics
- 14:33Speaker 3: happen and they're out at the, combine people are gonna be, like,
- 14:36Speaker 3: oh This bentley. CAT i didn't actually watch him play a,
- 14:39Speaker 3: lot but Mel kiper said this Now i'm gonna pay
- 14:41Speaker 3: attention and it has a real effect on. People Spencer
- 14:45Speaker 3: fnald had a phenomenal. Year do you know Why Spencer
- 14:48Speaker 3: fnal won The Island trophy because everyone knew his name
- 14:52Speaker 3: heading into the. Season If Spencer fnald had the exact
- 14:55Speaker 3: same year that he had without the hype coming into the,
- 14:59Speaker 3: year he's not a, Finalist he's not a semi. Finalist
- 15:02Speaker 3: he's certainly not winning the. Trophy it's because people knew his.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Name so knowing who these people are in the upcoming
- 15:10Speaker 3: draft massively. Important And Dallan bentley's name is starting to
- 15:13Speaker 3: get out, there which you love to. See but it
- 15:15Speaker 3: brings us back to the initial. Question you've got two
- 15:19Speaker 3: days left for this transfer. Portal where are you trying
- 15:24Speaker 3: to add? Talent your top priority at eight seven seven
- 15:27Speaker 3: three five three zero seven hundred or AT Rialoc sports
- 15:31Speaker 3: forty six ninety four says edge, rushers corners and tight.
- 15:36Speaker 3: Ends Derrick hewitson, SAYS i have more questions about the
- 15:43Speaker 3: defense than the. Offense biggest question is at. LINEBACKER i
- 15:47Speaker 3: just don't know exactly who we have. THERE i Actually
- 15:50Speaker 3: i'm not worried about the linebacker. Position john Neu hall
- 15:56Speaker 3: had a really awesome. Year, yes the last couple of,
- 15:58Speaker 3: games everyone involved in the run defense needs to look
- 16:02Speaker 3: in the mirror and be, like what DID i do?
- 16:03Speaker 3: WRONG i screwed some things. Up you re Signed john New.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Hall i'm glad he's. Back Trey reynolds was quietly amazing this. Year,
- 16:16Speaker 3: hey he first time getting into the linebacker rotation and
- 16:20Speaker 3: he had a really terrific year in an albeit limited.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Role we'll see as he gets a lot bigger role
- 16:27Speaker 3: how he. Does BUT i think there's reason for optimism.
- 16:29Speaker 3: There he's going to be an every down linebacker for
- 16:32Speaker 3: the team this, year barring any. Surprises Cyrus polo's gonna
- 16:36Speaker 3: have something to say about. That the Youngest ellis boy
- 16:43Speaker 3: is It Elijah Elijah ellis is going to be a factor.
- 16:47Speaker 3: NOW i don't know what kind of growth rate we're
- 16:51Speaker 3: talking about With ellis kids right, now because he was
- 16:56Speaker 3: a perfect linebacker size this. Year maybe he's the. End
- 16:59Speaker 3: he could be a defensive end next. Year, yeah all
- 17:02Speaker 3: of his all of his brothers came into the program
- 17:05Speaker 3: and the first, year well not all of his, brothers
- 17:08Speaker 3: because some of his brothers ended up At idaho is
- 17:12Speaker 3: the oldest of the brothers played At. Idaho the rest of,
- 17:15Speaker 3: them the brothers that have come through The utah, program
- 17:19Speaker 3: started out as like special teams, guys right Where, okay
- 17:25Speaker 3: they could be a, linebacker he could be a running,
- 17:27Speaker 3: back could be a tight.
- 17:28Speaker 2: End we don't and he's, like.
- 17:30Speaker 3: He's a larger side of normal, size but he's normal, size,
- 17:34Speaker 3: Right and then they end up BEING nfl. Sized, well
- 17:39Speaker 3: the two oldest ARE nfl sized, linebackers interior. Linebackers and
- 17:45Speaker 3: then you get to the middle child and it's, like oh,
- 17:47Speaker 3: no that's a defensive.
- 17:48Speaker 2: End that's a pass.
- 17:48Speaker 3: Rusher so we're now we're looking at a situation where
- 17:54Speaker 3: he could be a great linebacker for The university Of,
- 17:56Speaker 3: utah or he could be a great rush end for
- 17:58Speaker 3: The university Of, utah whatever you think of the last
- 18:02Speaker 3: Name ellis and THE i guess the growth upside there
- 18:07Speaker 3: helps answer this question of like DO i need an
- 18:11Speaker 3: edge rusher first in the transfer portal or DO i
- 18:13Speaker 3: need a linebacker first in the transfer? Portal because you
- 18:17Speaker 3: know you've got one of those With Elijah, ellis which one?
- 18:20Speaker 2: Though which one?
- 18:21Speaker 3: Is it'll Say i'll say this, too just like we
- 18:26Speaker 3: saw tremendous over the years With Morgan scalley as defensive
- 18:31Speaker 3: coordinator in safety's, coach we saw tremendous production from the
- 18:35Speaker 3: safety room and it was plug and. Play every. Year
- 18:38Speaker 3: oh you, lost you lost your two all time great.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Safeties well next year you developed two more all time great. Safeties.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Right we saw that happen all the. Time Colton swan
- 18:48Speaker 3: is now the defensive, coordinator AND i believe he's keeping
- 18:51Speaker 3: the linebackers coach. Title, correct we probably will see that
- 18:55Speaker 3: same and linebacker's obviously been a very strong position as
- 18:59Speaker 3: well For university Of utah over the. YEARS i expect
- 19:03Speaker 3: that we'll see something similar that we've seen with the safety's.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Room With Colton swan now defensive coordinator and with a
- 19:10Speaker 3: focus on linebackers as he keeps His linebackers coach title
- 19:15Speaker 3: and With morgan still, around safeties are still gonna be. Awesome,
- 19:19Speaker 3: Right so this should be and that's another reason to
- 19:23Speaker 3: be to maybe have some pause for do you how
- 19:27Speaker 3: much do you really need a linebacker versus some of
- 19:29Speaker 3: these other? Positions and he's going to so Coach Otum
- 19:34Speaker 3: Derek odam who came, Back, yeah he's as safeties. Coach
- 19:37Speaker 3: he's the safeties. Coach morgan is incredible at the job
- 19:42Speaker 3: of safety's. Coach but the reason he handed that duty
- 19:46Speaker 3: to a guy that he knows and trusts is because
- 19:48Speaker 3: the resume For odum while he was at The university
- 19:51Speaker 3: Of Utah All Conference safety And Steve Tate All Conference
- 19:55Speaker 3: safety In Casey Evans All, Conference All American safety In Eric,
- 20:01Speaker 3: weddle Like, morgan was Not Eric weddle's position. Coach he
- 20:07Speaker 3: just barely he was PROBABLY. Ga he's A. Ga Derek odam.
- 20:11Speaker 3: Was morgan was Was weddle's position. Coach guy is good
- 20:15Speaker 3: at the. Job So i'm not worried about safety position
- 20:20Speaker 3: from a coaching, standpoint but like every other, spot you
- 20:23Speaker 3: have to have the talent to coach those guys up
- 20:26Speaker 3: the linebacker. Room for people who don't, Know JOHN U
- 20:29Speaker 3: hall is, back Uh, hey lou Matiake, hulu the freshman
- 20:34Speaker 3: out Of Stansbury High, school as far AS i, know
- 20:36Speaker 3: hasn't made any. Announcements he should be. Back Cyrus pohlou is,
- 20:42Speaker 3: Back Trey reynolds is. BACK A Trey reynolds And john
- 20:48Speaker 3: Ou hall are going to be like the leader lead
- 20:51Speaker 3: horses in the race in order to be the every
- 20:54Speaker 3: down linebackers while you're Playing nickel, right, green dot person
- 20:59Speaker 3: And Elijah ellis had a lot of backup. Time Christian
- 21:03Speaker 3: thatcher's in the transfer. Portal he.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Gone so you got some bodies.
- 21:08Speaker 3: There i'm surprised that we haven't seen more people saying
- 21:16Speaker 3: you got to like defensive, line you got to bring
- 21:18Speaker 3: people in on the defensive line because you Lost Dallas,
- 21:22Speaker 3: faklahi you Lost jonah Lea, aa you Lost John Henry.
- 21:27Speaker 3: DAILY i, mean the defensive line is the staple position
- 21:31Speaker 3: For utah. Football it has. BEEN i think it will
- 21:34Speaker 3: be because you still want even with a new identity
- 21:40Speaker 3: Under Morgan, scalley he's going to be running the defense
- 21:43Speaker 3: you're accustomed to seeing. People, yeah he And Colton squant
- 21:47Speaker 3: will be doing that the same. Way you have a
- 21:49Speaker 3: hard time running that defense without a, powerful effective defensive, line.
- 21:56Speaker 2: Period end of. Story that's the way things.
- 21:59Speaker 3: GO i like Poopu, CEPALONA i Like CARSON CALFUSI i
- 22:04Speaker 3: like The Sam sula kid they brought in From, Wyoming.
- 22:07Speaker 2: But you need.
- 22:09Speaker 3: It defensive line is not like offensive line where you're just,
- 22:13Speaker 3: like here's our.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Starters we hope they play every single.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Down, WELL i guess it is somewhat like offensive line
- 22:21Speaker 3: and that you need five that you really, trust that
- 22:24Speaker 3: you really. Like six is. Better so IF i can
- 22:27Speaker 3: give you three, names that's. Wonderful IF i can give
- 22:30Speaker 3: you five, names that's much. Better IF i can give
- 22:33Speaker 3: you six, names that's. Ideal so Simote pepa's younger brother
- 22:40Speaker 3: still in the. Program you brought in the kid from The,
- 22:44Speaker 3: moi kid From San Jose state who's a rising. FRESHMAN
- 22:51Speaker 3: i already MENTIONED, CALFUSI i already Mentioned Poopoo Sooni Motua.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Puaka he made an announcement that he's. Staying he's a little.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Undersized SO i mean there's a chance next, year based
- 23:05Speaker 3: on what you've got in the room right, now that
- 23:08Speaker 3: you have a young and slightly small defensive line at
- 23:12Speaker 3: The university Of.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Utah that's.
- 23:13Speaker 3: Weird that's weird if it, happens which is Why i'm
- 23:18Speaker 3: asking this. Question Transfer. Portal you're THE. Gm what are
- 23:23Speaker 3: your top priorities on offense and on? Defense and by the,
- 23:26Speaker 3: WAY i am tampering like a you know, What Morgan
- 23:32Speaker 3: scally If i'm on his, staff you're The tampa. Guy
- 23:36Speaker 3: if he hires me as THE, gm Which, morgan why
- 23:39Speaker 3: haven't you called me to be YOUR?
- 23:40Speaker 2: Gm? Man if he hires me as THE, GM.
- 23:45Speaker 3: I am pretending rules don't even, exist because rules don't
- 23:49Speaker 3: really exist in. Tampering he, should you, know what he should.
- 23:52Speaker 3: Do he should give you like an ASSISTANT gm. Title
- 23:57Speaker 3: so it's like small enough work that you're still that
- 24:01Speaker 3: you're still doing the show every, day and it's like
- 24:03Speaker 3: really under the, raidar like no one knows your ASSISTANT.
- 24:05Speaker 3: GM i will Be and then you're the tamper. GUY
- 24:08Speaker 3: i will be THE gm For utah, football Like Damian
- 24:13Speaker 3: lillard is THE gm For Weaber State. Basket you're you're
- 24:16Speaker 3: the TAMPER, gm like the the ACTUAL gm and whoever
- 24:20Speaker 3: else is actually helping him day to day can't do,
- 24:24Speaker 3: that but you're the guy who can do. That and
- 24:26Speaker 3: you're on the radio and you you don't ever talk about,
- 24:28Speaker 3: it but behind the scenes you're, like, Hey I'm i'm
- 24:32Speaker 3: the tamper guy For utah. Football why don't you come?
- 24:34Speaker 3: Play it used to be where coaches in high, high
- 24:39Speaker 3: high level programs had like three degrees of separation between
- 24:42Speaker 3: themselves and the bag. Men yeah, right that could be you,
- 24:46Speaker 3: Now just it doesn't have to be three degrees of.
- 24:48Speaker 3: Separation just make it two degrees of separation between, you
- 24:52Speaker 3: the head coach and the tamper. GUY i Want Morgan
- 24:55Speaker 3: scally to sit down at every press conference and be
- 24:58Speaker 3: able to tell the truth and, SAY i have never
- 25:01Speaker 3: one time contacted a player who's under scholarship somewhere.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Else i've never.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Tampered and then standing in the, shadows scruffy looking too
- 25:14Speaker 3: many tattoos is the tamper. Guy, yeah you're always and
- 25:19Speaker 3: and you're always shirtless to show off your too many.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Tattoos that would be really, weird that would draw too much.
- 25:25Speaker 4: Attest was just, like why is there one shirtless person?
- 25:31Speaker 3: Here he's The. Tampa that's My, tampa that's Our tampa.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Guy i'm tampering like a you know what because everybody
- 25:37Speaker 3: else is doing. It and you get to this point
- 25:41Speaker 3: where you are your face with The Lance armstrong. Decision,
- 25:46Speaker 3: yeah everybody else in the sport is ON. Epo all
- 25:50Speaker 3: of them are blood. Doping AM i going to be
- 25:53Speaker 3: the guy that loses because he? Doesn't or AM i
- 25:57Speaker 3: going to be the guy that bites the, bullet takes
- 26:00Speaker 3: the stuff and. Wins it dominates BECAUSE i do. It
- 26:04Speaker 3: in the case Of Plays, armstrong the difference between what
- 26:08Speaker 3: you want your program to be and What Lance armstrong
- 26:10Speaker 3: is is like he built this identity on being the clean.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Guy that was this farce and it was just a
- 26:16Speaker 3: lie and very combative about oh you don't think up. Clean,
- 26:20Speaker 3: Yeah like he did the worst, possible the most gaslighting
- 26:24Speaker 3: strategy of defending himself instead of just being, like, hey
- 26:29Speaker 3: JUST i will defer you to the test.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Results that's All i'm gonna.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Say in, fact Strike Lance armstrong's name from the record
- 26:37Speaker 3: on this conversation BECAUSE i don't want.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Him BUT.
- 26:41Speaker 3: I don't Want Morgan scally to dirty his. HANDS i
- 26:43Speaker 3: want him to be able to run things the right
- 26:46Speaker 3: way because it's important to him to run things the right.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Way let me do things the wrong way for.
- 26:52Speaker 3: You, right everyone else is doing. It everybody in college
- 26:57Speaker 3: football And utah fans are big time upset at the
- 27:00Speaker 3: fact that their guys have been tampered.

- 29:05Speaker 3: wherever who's who's in class right now At, stanford who's
- 29:09Speaker 3: in class right now At West TEXAS a AND. M
- 29:14Speaker 3: i need the guy that just killed us FROM byu last.
- 29:18Speaker 3: YEAR i need that guy on my. Roster Go tampa with,
- 29:21Speaker 3: him or to just start spam. Texting the agent of
- 29:25Speaker 3: the difficulty FOR utah is like the most effective tampering
- 29:30Speaker 3: is done with an unlimited, pocketbook Like michigan appears to
- 29:36Speaker 3: have right, now Like oregon has right, Now Like notre
- 29:39Speaker 3: did you See Notre dame yesterday in the transfer? Portal
- 29:43Speaker 3: Notre dame yesterday grabbed like six starters from other schools
- 29:49Speaker 3: in the transfer, portal like and apparently they're having a
- 29:53Speaker 3: press conference today for for the coach to tell everyone
- 29:57Speaker 3: he's not going to THE. NFL i, MEAN i can't
- 30:00Speaker 3: get a good finger on the pulsar exactly what that's gonna,
- 30:03Speaker 3: be going to tell everyone that he is going to THE.
- 30:05Speaker 3: Nfl i'm taking The ravens. Job i'm taking The steelers.
- 30:10Speaker 3: Job by the, way the MORE i hear about The steelers,
- 30:14Speaker 3: situation The Mike tomlin, situation it is exactly what happened
- 30:18Speaker 3: here In Salt Lake city with he who shall not be.
- 30:21Speaker 3: Named at the pro, level it's the exact same. Thing
- 30:23Speaker 3: mike T Mike. TOMLIN i mean, Literally Rich eisen And
- 30:31Speaker 3: Dan patrick this morning both were talking, about, well does he.
- 30:34Speaker 2: Still want to?
- 30:35Speaker 3: Coach because if he still wants to, coach why is
- 30:38Speaker 3: any coaching The Pittsburgh. Steelers and it's, like, well because
- 30:43Speaker 3: he's the one who stepped, down you know, What we're gonna.
- 30:46Speaker 3: Wait we'll find out if he got pushed out or
- 30:49Speaker 3: if he wanted to be. Out based on is he
- 30:51Speaker 3: coaching somewhere next? Year i'm, like, oh, Okay.
- 30:53Speaker 2: I've seen this movie. Before we know. This tomlin is
- 30:56Speaker 2: gonna be coaching The.
- 30:57Speaker 3: Ravens we know this one all too well around. Here
- 31:02Speaker 3: you know, what he's gonna be The lions. Coach he's
- 31:03Speaker 3: gonna go To michigan. Too NO i with THE i
- 31:10Speaker 3: was gonna say talking About Mike tomlin and he shall
- 31:14Speaker 3: not be. NAMED i feel like it's the parallel is
- 31:19Speaker 3: also with no longer appreciated by the local fan base
- 31:25Speaker 3: near as much as they used to, be you should
- 31:28Speaker 3: not be named a lot more appreciated Than Mike tomlin
- 31:31Speaker 3: was at the. End it seems, like, uh but not
- 31:34Speaker 3: near as much as they used to. Be but out
- 31:37Speaker 3: the outside world still appreciates that guy like the local
- 31:43Speaker 3: fan base appreciated them at the. Beginning and so that's
- 31:46Speaker 3: why if here In Salt Lake, city there In, pittsburgh
- 31:50Speaker 3: you have to be you have to be careful how
- 31:53Speaker 3: much you really think you want that guy to, go
- 31:58Speaker 3: because still very desired out in the outside markets and
- 32:03Speaker 3: still probably can have a ton of success somewhere. Else
- 32:07Speaker 3: maybe that success is run out in the place that
- 32:11Speaker 3: that they're at at that, moment not certainly in the
- 32:15Speaker 3: case of the former coach, here but maybe that's the
- 32:19Speaker 3: case With Mike. Tomlin but that does not mean he's
- 32:21Speaker 3: not gonna it may not come back to bite you
- 32:23Speaker 3: if he coaches somewhere else in the. League that's the
- 32:26Speaker 3: tough part about, this is, like maybe it's gone stale
- 32:29Speaker 3: in the place you're, at but he could win a
- 32:31Speaker 3: Super bowl somewhere. Else he could win get to the
- 32:33Speaker 3: playoffs somewhere. Else right, Now the big difference here is
- 32:36Speaker 3: that even if if let's say that The steelers upset
- 32:40Speaker 3: by the way fifty three year Old Mike, tomlin who
- 32:43Speaker 3: is eleven years younger than he who shall not be,
- 32:45Speaker 3: made still a lot left in the, tank you would,
- 32:46Speaker 3: think let's say that he felt a bridge was, burned
- 32:53Speaker 3: and he feels a little, spiteful and he's, LIKE i
- 32:56Speaker 3: am gonna go take The browns, job OR i am
- 32:58Speaker 3: gonna go take The ravens. Job i'm gonna be right
- 33:01Speaker 3: here in your, division making your life, Miserable rooney. Family
- 33:05Speaker 3: the difference is that he's in a pro league with
- 33:09Speaker 3: well structured collective bargaining rules and enforceable tampering, Rules so
- 33:16Speaker 3: he actually can't hurt his former team only at, all
- 33:20Speaker 3: other than beating them when they.
- 33:21Speaker 2: Played, oh he can't go and decimate their.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Roster he could take their whole coaching staff that he
- 33:27Speaker 3: could take the. Staff that's about, it. Though but but guess,
- 33:30Speaker 3: what the staff ain't staying any. Way, yeah the next
- 33:33Speaker 3: guy's not going to Hire tomlin's. Staff, so because it's THE,
- 33:37Speaker 3: nfl any analogy runs out, immediately where, like, oh let
- 33:43Speaker 3: me feel real, Vindictive like he can go toilet paper the,
- 33:46Speaker 3: stadium that's about. It he can't actually undermine their success
- 33:50Speaker 3: in any kind of meaningful. Way So steelers fans could
- 33:55Speaker 3: be mad and hate it and poo poo him for doing,
- 33:58Speaker 3: it but they can't feels slighted by him the way
- 34:03Speaker 3: That utah fans feel slighted by he who shall not be.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Named all, right gotta take a break. Here we're gonna
- 34:12Speaker 3: come back talk a little. Hoops we'll start with the

- 35:44Speaker 5: twitter or x but no excited that they they're bringing
- 35:48Speaker 5: in another. Recruit good to.
- 35:50Speaker 3: See let's talk about, this this team and its actual
- 35:54Speaker 3: success here on the. Floor we've been Covering utah women's
- 35:59Speaker 3: basketball for you know SINCE i came back on the
- 36:02Speaker 3: station here and it felt like in seasons past there
- 36:05Speaker 3: was a pretty obvious player who was kind of like
- 36:08Speaker 3: heartbeat of the. Team everything flowed through her from either
- 36:12Speaker 3: an actual tactical standpoint or just from A i guess
- 36:17Speaker 3: a culture. Standpoint is there one player that fills that
- 36:20Speaker 3: role for this?
- 36:21Speaker 5: Team that's a great, question AND i do think we
- 36:26Speaker 5: have two seniors In Matti wilkie And Lonnie, white who
- 36:30Speaker 5: are kind of the heartbeat of the. Team the team.
- 36:32Speaker 5: Flows as they flow their energy that they, provide the
- 36:35Speaker 5: team kind of follows. Them So maddie being with the
- 36:38Speaker 5: team for now what three, years she's taken on that leadership,
- 36:41Speaker 5: role and then Bringing Lonnie white back to the program
- 36:44Speaker 5: has been a huge, addition getting her back out of
- 36:46Speaker 5: the transfer. Portal if you ask the, coaches if you
- 36:49Speaker 5: ask the players on the. Team we talked To gavin's
- 36:52Speaker 5: wife and over this last week and they all just
- 36:54Speaker 5: say how great of a Teammate lonnie. Is so not
- 36:57Speaker 5: necessarily even the things that they're doing on the, court
- 36:59Speaker 5: but that energy and friendship that they provide off the
- 37:03Speaker 5: court as.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Well From ben on the court, PERSPECTIVE i, mean there's
- 37:10Speaker 3: you always did want that leader to be in one
- 37:12Speaker 3: of your most important. Players but is are are there
- 37:15Speaker 3: those two seniors the most important players from a, scoring,
- 37:18Speaker 3: rebounding assist perspective in your?
- 37:20Speaker 5: Mind this is where it gets a little interesting because some, games,
- 37:25Speaker 5: yes some games it Is Mattie, wilkins some games it
- 37:28Speaker 5: Is Lonnie white who are taking on the bulk of
- 37:30Speaker 5: the responsibility of. Scoring but you look back at last
- 37:34Speaker 5: game Against Kansas, State lonnie only scored five points since
- 37:38Speaker 5: she only took five, shots not like she needs to
- 37:40Speaker 5: force to get her. Points we have a player In Rhys,
- 37:43Speaker 5: ross the junior out Of South, dakota who's been averaging
- 37:47Speaker 5: almost fourteen points in almost ten rebounds over her last eight.
- 37:50Speaker 5: Games and if she's not doing, it there's there's other
- 37:53Speaker 5: players Like Grace, foster who barely played any minutes last,
- 37:57Speaker 5: year came off the bench At Kansas state and scored seventeen.
- 38:00Speaker 5: Points so as much AS i want to say, Yes Lonnie,
- 38:04Speaker 5: White Mattie, wilkie we got a whole plethora of players
- 38:07Speaker 5: who come off the bench or who even start that
- 38:10Speaker 5: take on different roles at any given time in the.
- 38:14Speaker 3: Game Kira evans took some time to get her healthy
- 38:19Speaker 3: in this, program and it's nice to see her actually
- 38:21Speaker 3: being on the floor consistently and having an. Impact what
- 38:24Speaker 3: have you made her season so?
- 38:25Speaker 5: FAR i Love kira's ability to distribute the. Ball so,
- 38:31Speaker 5: yes she is averaging eight points game this, year but
- 38:35Speaker 5: her ability to pass the ball is one of the
- 38:39Speaker 5: Best i've seen in the entire. Country and in post,
- 38:42Speaker 5: play she doesn't necessarily force trying to, score but she's
- 38:47Speaker 5: always looking for kickout opportunities or she has a high
- 38:50Speaker 5: low opportunity With Rhys ross or another. Player So kira's
- 38:55Speaker 5: very unique in. That, yes she can shoot a three
- 38:57Speaker 5: ball when she wants to, go and she she can't
- 39:01Speaker 5: take people off of the, driggle BUT i think it's
- 39:03Speaker 5: her passing ability that separates her from other posts in the.
- 39:06Speaker 3: Country Is la sneed living up to the hype When
- 39:11Speaker 3: nate when she committed to this, program highest rated recruit
- 39:14Speaker 3: That utah women's basketball had ever.
- 39:16Speaker 5: Signed you, know if you were to ask that at
- 39:20Speaker 5: the start of the, season we would probably say, no
- 39:22Speaker 5: because it did take a little bit of time For
- 39:24Speaker 5: la to adapt to the college. Game but When brooke
- 39:27Speaker 5: went out with an, Injury la had to feel that
- 39:29Speaker 5: starting role That brooke was, playing and she's growing and
- 39:35Speaker 5: learning and adapting every single game to where she's handling
- 39:38Speaker 5: the ball, better she's shooting, better she's building more confidence in,
- 39:42Speaker 5: herself and she is a complete game. Manager so WHEN
- 39:47Speaker 5: i look back at THE tcu, GAME i see, that you,
- 39:51Speaker 5: Know la might have not, scored but she played thirty
- 39:55Speaker 5: minutes and only had one turnover and controlled the entire
- 39:57Speaker 5: pace of that. Game so, YEAH i Believe la is
- 40:01Speaker 5: living up to that hype and she's going to continue
- 40:03Speaker 5: to grow and develop and get.
- 40:04Speaker 3: Better when we talk about a player like that in
- 40:08Speaker 3: the development that this coaching staff and her teammates can help,
- 40:11Speaker 3: with what is the next thing you'd like her to,
- 40:14Speaker 3: see to see her add to the game TO i,
- 40:16Speaker 3: guess make yourself a bigger, factor BECAUSE i agree with
- 40:19Speaker 3: you already a big enough, factor, Certainly but would it
- 40:23Speaker 3: be you, know scoring off her own, dribble creating her
- 40:25Speaker 3: own opportunities, somehow getting better at the, distribution rebounding better
- 40:30Speaker 3: because she's got enough size for her. Guard is what
- 40:32Speaker 3: would be the thing that if you're coaching or you'd, say,
- 40:35Speaker 3: okay let's add this.
- 40:36Speaker 5: Next we've talked to the, coaches and we also talked
- 40:41Speaker 5: To la about, this AND i agree THAT i want
- 40:43Speaker 5: to see your continue to get confident in her three point.
- 40:45Speaker 5: Shot there's a lot of times that in The utah,
- 40:48Speaker 5: offense when they're playing against the, team teams will go
- 40:50Speaker 5: under a handoff or under a screen Or las open
- 40:53Speaker 5: on a wing for a three point, shot and she
- 40:55Speaker 5: hesitates for a secord she will decide to put the
- 40:58Speaker 5: ball on the. Ground SO i think the next thing
- 41:01Speaker 5: For la is just continuing to build that confidence in that,
- 41:04Speaker 5: shot to not even hesitate when it gets into her,
- 41:07Speaker 5: hands and to just get in that. Rhythm like she's
- 41:09Speaker 5: thirty one percent on the season right, now is knocked
- 41:11Speaker 5: down eleven of thirty five. Shots BUT i think once
- 41:15Speaker 5: she develops a more rhythm and a more comfortable three point,
- 41:19Speaker 5: shot she's going to be extremely hard to guard because
- 41:22Speaker 5: her ability to put the ball on the. Ground she's
- 41:24Speaker 5: extremely shifty as she attacks the, basket so she can
- 41:27Speaker 5: get to the, basket but she has to have people
- 41:29Speaker 5: respect her at that three point.
- 41:31Speaker 2: Line what's the key Against baylor?
- 41:33Speaker 3: TONIGHT a Ranked baylor team THAT i, mean, yeah they
- 41:36Speaker 3: got the number to their.
- 41:37Speaker 2: NAME i don't think really any better than This utah.
- 41:40Speaker 5: Team, no but one thing With bayler is that they're
- 41:44Speaker 5: always going to play. Hard they're led in a sophomore
- 41:48Speaker 5: guard who's on her third. Team we love the transfer,
- 41:50Speaker 5: portal But Tulia, scott she's averaging twenty, points does a
- 41:57Speaker 5: great job getting to the free throw. Line so just
- 42:00Speaker 5: like we Played, kansas we Kept Smile nickels off the
- 42:02Speaker 5: free throw, line we're gonna have to Keep Talia scott
- 42:05Speaker 5: off of the free throw. Line and then they also
- 42:07Speaker 5: Have darian Alittlepage, bugs who we actually didn't get to
- 42:11Speaker 5: see last year because of some fighting suspension that she
- 42:15Speaker 5: didn't play in the game Against, utah but she's averaging
- 42:17Speaker 5: a double double this year ten, points ten, rebounds is
- 42:21Speaker 5: just extremely aggressive and dominant post. Player so between those
- 42:25Speaker 5: two players and then their starting lineup is pretty. Good
- 42:27Speaker 5: they don't have a lot of depth and they don't
- 42:29Speaker 5: really have a lot of people coming off the, bench
- 42:32Speaker 5: so it's going to be king in on the top
- 42:34Speaker 5: players Of scott and little Page.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Bugs i'm a Huge Gavin peterson, fan AND i, mean, like,
- 42:42Speaker 3: really anytime you know this better THAN i. Do anytime
- 42:45Speaker 3: you get to be AROUND ncaa coaches and especially coaches
- 42:49Speaker 3: and women's sports when we're in this media. Role they're
- 42:52Speaker 3: so gracious with their time and the fact that everybody
- 42:56Speaker 3: endorsed when he was taken over for coach rob, everybody,
- 42:59Speaker 3: player equipment, managers everyone was, like, no, absolutely this is
- 43:02Speaker 3: the right person for the. Job when you have your
- 43:06Speaker 3: interactions with Coach peterson and you've seen what he's been
- 43:09Speaker 3: able to do with this, program just give me a
- 43:12Speaker 3: sense of where you think he can take, it what
- 43:14Speaker 3: the ceiling is For utah women's basketball with him at the.
- 43:17Speaker 5: HELM i think sky's the limit with what he has
- 43:22Speaker 5: the ability to do and with the players that he's.
- 43:24Speaker 5: Recruiting in the players he, HAS i think there are
- 43:26Speaker 5: a lot of question marks coming into this season as
- 43:29Speaker 5: we lost five, starters and just to see what he's
- 43:32Speaker 5: been able to do with a new roster with a
- 43:35Speaker 5: core group of. Freshmen we're thirteen and four right, now
- 43:38Speaker 5: we're six and oh on the. Road we're projected to
- 43:43Speaker 5: finish eighth in The big, twelve BUT i think that's
- 43:46Speaker 5: low from what Play i'm seeing right. NOW i think
- 43:49Speaker 5: we have the ability to get up in that top
- 43:51Speaker 5: four and really push some of these ranked. Teams SO
- 43:55Speaker 5: i love What gavin's. DOING i know how hardy. COACHES
- 43:57Speaker 5: i see all the f for him as, staff putting
- 44:00Speaker 5: each game into their. Scouts we love going on the,
- 44:03Speaker 5: road being able to see them practice on the road as,
- 44:05Speaker 5: well just how dialed in the entire team and the
- 44:08Speaker 5: team is and how much they respect the coaching staff as.
- 44:11Speaker 5: Well SO i don't want to say what the limit
- 44:15Speaker 5: is or what the bottom. IS i think there's a
- 44:17Speaker 5: lot of a lot of room and a lot of
- 44:19Speaker 5: potential That kevin has with this.
- 44:20Speaker 3: Team all, right if you're listening right, now you don't
- 44:23Speaker 3: have anything better to do, tonight then going up to

- 51:52Speaker 3: HUNDRED i was asking at the beginning of the, show
- 51:55Speaker 3: how you prioritize these final couple days of the transfer.
- 51:59Speaker 3: Portal noah that, yes names are in, there and you
- 52:03Speaker 3: can even after the portal, closes you can still pull people.
- 52:08Speaker 3: Out SO i guess your priority is keeping people from
- 52:13Speaker 3: entering their name in the transfer. Portal but what position
- 52:16Speaker 3: on offense and what position on? DEFENSE i put a
- 52:21Speaker 3: poll question up On twitter for. BOTH i left quarterbacks
- 52:25Speaker 3: off on the offensive, side and on the, defense IT'S d,
- 52:29Speaker 3: line edge, linebackers defensive. Backs, look we know what you.
- 52:33Speaker 3: Lost we know that some of these losses were. Painful
- 52:38Speaker 3: we saw what you've retained so far from your own.
- 52:41Speaker 3: Roster but every team in the country is shoring things
- 52:44Speaker 3: up with names in the transfer. Portal and the transfer
- 52:47Speaker 3: portal right now has three thousand and thirty two. Players
- 52:52Speaker 3: according to on three fifty of the three thousand and
- 52:57Speaker 3: thirty two players appear to have committed somewhere. Else thirty
- 53:00Speaker 3: three players have withdrawn their names from the transfer, Portal
- 53:04Speaker 3: but that means that there are still roughly fifteen hundred
- 53:07Speaker 3: guys looking for a new. Spot fifteen there are fifteen
- 53:14Speaker 3: full team's worth of players in the transfer portal that
- 53:18Speaker 3: are hoping for a phone call from a place like
- 53:21Speaker 3: The university Of utah wows. Up all, right we're hoops
- 53:26Speaker 3: heavy today and lucky enough to Welcome Sean mooney back
- 53:30Speaker 3: to the. Show it's been a while since we talked
- 53:31Speaker 3: With Sean, mooney so it's a Walk shawn's.
- 53:35Speaker 2: Edition Mister, mooney how.
- 53:37Speaker 8: Are you like?
- 53:37Speaker 6: It i'm Ge, jehan how are? You? Man that number
- 53:40Speaker 6: is astounding that you just talked about in the transfer.
- 53:42Speaker 3: Portal isn't that? Wild and by the, way easy, man
- 53:46Speaker 3: the history we have and the sample size is relatively,
- 53:50Speaker 3: small but historically this transfer portal is going to close
- 53:54Speaker 3: and the cycle is going to kind of wind, down
- 53:56Speaker 3: and there's gonna be over one thousand Guys, sean who
- 53:59Speaker 3: are mostly the bulk of them were on scholarships somewhere
- 54:03Speaker 3: last year and, said, no the grass is going to
- 54:05Speaker 3: be greener elsewhere and end up holding their own.
- 54:08Speaker 2: Bag, man it.
- 54:08Speaker 6: Stinks, Yeah, no it's something we should be talking. About
- 54:12Speaker 6: i'm glad you're talking about it, because and you, know
- 54:14Speaker 6: the athletes need to hear that if they're not paying.
- 54:16Speaker 3: Attention, yeah it's wild because one thing that we've learned about,
- 54:21Speaker 3: athletes and especially about really young, athletes is we have
- 54:25Speaker 3: a really hard time with learning from other people's, mistakes
- 54:30Speaker 3: like you have to kind of feel the pain yourself
- 54:33Speaker 3: to internalize.
- 54:34Speaker 2: It and that's really really.
- 54:35Speaker 3: UNFORTUNATE i, mean even in THE, nfl Even i'm telling
- 54:39Speaker 3: you things you already. Know but when you see, guys
- 54:41Speaker 3: see guys they go to these rookie symposiums and everyone's, like,
- 54:44Speaker 3: hey watch who you surround yourself, With, hey keep your money,
- 54:47Speaker 3: right don't be spending like. Crazy and then there's one
- 54:50Speaker 3: hundred guys every year who blow it. All it's. Crazy it's.
- 54:54Speaker 6: Crazy, YEAH i. Know utah has a program Called Elevate
- 54:57Speaker 6: you that is trying to do that very thing for the,
- 54:59Speaker 6: athlete and you just hope that they actually.
- 55:01Speaker 3: Buy in and or.
- 55:03Speaker 6: Listen, right why when they're you, know coached or talk,
- 55:07Speaker 6: talk someone talks to them about what they need to be.
- 55:10Speaker 3: Doing all, right let's talk about This utah men's basketball.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Team you're beloved running Uts they they're coming off a
- 55:17Speaker 3: tough one WHERE i don't like moral, victories especially when
- 55:21Speaker 3: you're talking about basketball at the power flod. Level but,
- 55:25Speaker 3: man you kind of had to be proud of some
- 55:26Speaker 3: of the things we saw From utah against a really
- 55:29Speaker 3: STACKED byu. Squad you're playing in a high pressure environment
- 55:33Speaker 3: against your rival school and you're doing it for the first,
- 55:36Speaker 3: time and The Alex jensen era unfortunately did not end
- 55:39Speaker 3: in a. Win but let's let's stay on the positive
- 55:42Speaker 3: and then we'll get to some of the. Negative maybe
- 55:44Speaker 3: what was your favorite thing about that, game the most
- 55:46Speaker 3: positive takeaway in your?
- 55:47Speaker 6: MIND i, mean for, me it's how we started the,
- 55:51Speaker 6: game because you, know number, one when the energy's in the,
- 55:53Speaker 6: building it's just a different, environment, right The Huntsman Center,
- 55:57Speaker 6: specials the muss was in full force there from top to.
- 56:00Speaker 6: Bottom but our, kids and, like b what you is?
- 56:03Speaker 3: Good?
- 56:03Speaker 6: Right we know how good they. Are AND i thought
- 56:06Speaker 6: our kids, competed AND i thought they competed throughout the,
- 56:08Speaker 6: game but in particular maybe at the thirty minute, mark
- 56:12Speaker 6: twelve minutes left in the, game they were up by,
- 56:14Speaker 6: EIGHT i, think and it could have been, ugly and
- 56:18Speaker 6: it wasn't you, know we drew, Close we drew in
- 56:23Speaker 6: within a fraction of really giving ourselves a chance to
- 56:27Speaker 6: win the. Game, unfortunately we didn't get a shot off
- 56:30Speaker 6: at the end of the. GAME i know the, kids
- 56:32Speaker 6: the coaches would have loved to at least had an
- 56:34Speaker 6: opportunity to get a shot. Up BUT i liked how
- 56:36Speaker 6: we compete a.
- 56:36Speaker 3: Shan SO i probably spent too much time talking about
- 56:40Speaker 3: this the other, day And i'm going to spend too
- 56:42Speaker 3: much time talking about it with. You but there was
- 56:44Speaker 3: a moment in the Game james Of conquo goes up
- 56:47Speaker 3: as Aj, debonsa arguably the most famous guy in college
- 56:52Speaker 3: basketball right, now is barreling down the lane and goes
- 56:55Speaker 3: up for a poster, dunk.
- 56:57Speaker 2: Right and we've seen.
- 56:59Speaker 3: It at every level of, basketball sean where you could very,
- 57:03Speaker 3: easily as a defensive, player you could turn that down
- 57:06Speaker 3: and you could just be, like, No i'm Not i'm
- 57:09Speaker 3: not doing. This i'm not being put on this. Poster
- 57:12Speaker 3: i'm not taking this. Risk we've seen it in THE,
- 57:14Speaker 3: nba we've seen it in college. Basketball you see it
- 57:17Speaker 3: in THE. Aau AND i thought that. IT i thought
- 57:20Speaker 3: that it was. IMPORTANT i thought that it meant. Something
- 57:22Speaker 3: it didn't win you the, game BUT i thought that
- 57:24Speaker 3: it meant something that he took on that challenge and
- 57:27Speaker 3: successfully blocked that. Shot but even if he hadn't successfully blocked,
- 57:31Speaker 3: IT i would have been, Like, okay that's that's An
- 57:33Speaker 3: Alex jensen influence in real. Time that's your head coach, saying,
- 57:38Speaker 3: no we. Don't we don't make a business. Decision right,
- 57:41Speaker 3: there you go. Up if you get, posterized so be.
- 57:44Speaker 3: It but we're gonna play.
- 57:45Speaker 8: DEFENSE i love a shot AND i love that you
- 57:47Speaker 8: bring that went out Because james was really good in this,
- 57:50Speaker 8: game and he needs to be, good you, know because
- 57:53Speaker 8: we to be able to even play with big twelve,
- 57:57Speaker 8: teams you.
- 57:57Speaker 6: Got to have a big who can rebound and he's
- 58:00Speaker 6: going to attack. Penetration and he was. Funny he came
- 58:03Speaker 6: over to the scorers table after that play and someone
- 58:06Speaker 6: on the scorers table last. Him you know what he was.
- 58:07Speaker 6: Thinking he's, LIKE i had two. CHOICES i was going
- 58:10Speaker 6: to be On Sports center OR i was gonna make
- 58:12Speaker 6: it hard on, him and.
- 58:13Speaker 3: You know he.
- 58:13Speaker 6: Did and then if you saw his face, afterwards he
- 58:17Speaker 6: kind of gives that big blow of air out of
- 58:19Speaker 6: his mouth and he's, like oh my, GOSH i can't
- 58:21Speaker 6: BELIEVE i just lost A. J Debasa because you know that,
- 58:24Speaker 6: kid A. J. Tabusta you've been watching him when he
- 58:27Speaker 6: when he his gathered dribble shall he takes like fifteen
- 58:31Speaker 6: feet on each. Step he's just different. MAN i, mean
- 58:34Speaker 6: he's really. Special but you're, right And james was a
- 58:37Speaker 6: big difference maker And james has been a difference making
- 58:39Speaker 6: in the last couple of. Games and we were just
- 58:41Speaker 6: talking To alex, Today we just interviewed him and, hey
- 58:44Speaker 6: we're talking About james in this game, Tonight Texas tech.
- 58:47Speaker 6: Man is he going to be? Important and our whole
- 58:48Speaker 6: team is, important but our bigs have to be. Good
- 58:51Speaker 6: they got the best, player best post player in the
- 58:53Speaker 6: country probably IN.
- 58:54Speaker 2: Jt.
- 58:55Speaker 3: Toppins, yeah it doesn't get any. Easier, certainly we're going
- 58:59Speaker 3: to get into the The Texas tech matchup here in
- 59:01Speaker 3: just a. Second don McHenry And Terrence brown carried the
- 59:06Speaker 3: bulk of the scoring load AGAINST. Byu is that something
- 59:09Speaker 3: we're just gonna have to get used to it and
- 59:10Speaker 3: seeing the rest of the.
- 59:11Speaker 6: Year, yeah you're gonna have to get used to. IT i,
- 59:14Speaker 6: mean there are they are. Scores don McHenry is especially.
- 59:18Speaker 6: EFFICIENT tv is a score through and. True you, know
- 59:22Speaker 6: he likens himself his model is role model would Be
- 59:26Speaker 6: Alan iverson and you kind of see that in. Him
- 59:28Speaker 6: he's not very, heavy but he's tough, minded definitely score
- 59:32Speaker 6: first mentality and one of his biggest strengths has always been,
- 59:36Speaker 6: that and one of the things that he's going to be,
- 59:37Speaker 6: DOING i think to make our team even better is
- 59:40Speaker 6: being a pass it and then get it back and
- 59:42Speaker 6: score as opposed to score first in the first. Side but,
- 59:45Speaker 6: YEAH i mean right, NOW kd you, know is really.
- 59:48Speaker 6: Important obviously he's close to a double. Double but from
- 59:51Speaker 6: a consistent, standpoint you're not getting consistence going out of.
- 59:54Speaker 6: Him say do the same. THING i really like our
- 59:56Speaker 6: Freshman Candle, sanders but right now we don't have that third, Player,
- 1:00:00Speaker 6: Sean just like you, said, yeah we got to get
- 1:00:02Speaker 6: used To tving And don being our.
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: Guys what we talked About Keanu dawes at the end
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: of last, year how important he was to retain on
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: this roster as you're making kind of a new start
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: with things you don't want to see a complete clean
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: slate and just to disconnect from everything that's already.
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: Happened but what.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: Does he need to do in this particular program Under
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: Alex jensen in order to maximize and get himself where
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: he needs to. Be because he's a better player than
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: what we've seen from him in these last couple of.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: Games in my.
- 1:00:32Speaker 6: Mind, yeah, No, sean you're, Right AND i think the
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: biggest thing FOR kd this year And alex is. Amazing
- 1:00:38Speaker 6: so one of the things that he does with his
- 1:00:40Speaker 6: players is he tries to give them. Confidence he doesn't
- 1:00:43Speaker 6: detract from them, shooting and he WANTS kd. Shooting and,
- 1:00:46Speaker 6: now when you look At kd's staffs from, three he
- 1:00:48Speaker 6: hasn't shot it well this. Year he hit a big
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: shot Against washington and has hit a couple, others but
- 1:00:54Speaker 6: in general hasn't shot it from three to. One it
- 1:00:56Speaker 6: makes it harder for him because in our, offense you,
- 1:00:59Speaker 6: know you're not going to get a mid post. Catch
- 1:01:01Speaker 6: you're going to get catches one of the guards, drive
- 1:01:04Speaker 6: but you're not going to get to kind of catch
- 1:01:05Speaker 6: where you can go to work with. It so if
- 1:01:07Speaker 6: he's not shooting as, well makes it a little bit
- 1:01:09Speaker 6: tougher because they are going to defend him as a, driver.
- 1:01:12Speaker 6: Right but to his, credit you, know he doesn't get
- 1:01:15Speaker 6: his head. Down he continues to shoot it and hopefully
- 1:01:18Speaker 6: some of those will go, in and you, know if
- 1:01:20Speaker 6: they go, in it's going to change things for him
- 1:01:22Speaker 6: and then he's going to have to adjust when he.
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: Drives he drives right a, lot.
- 1:01:26Speaker 6: Puts his head. Down he's doing a little bit better
- 1:01:28Speaker 6: job of. That he's probably our best, passer which is.
- 1:01:31Speaker 6: Great he's just got. It still has a lot of,
- 1:01:33Speaker 6: upside but like you, Said, sean he's trying to figure
- 1:01:35Speaker 6: out what to do and how to do it efficiently
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: inside our offensive.
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: Scheme Sean mooney's my guest here on The sean O'Connell.
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: Show you can hear him later tonight right here on
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: these air waves Alongside Bill riley as he's doing the
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: color analyst. Work utah will be taking on the number
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: fifteen Ranked Texas Tech Red. Raiders we'll get to that
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: match up here in just a. Second alex jenn in
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: the first year to this, point does it look like
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: you thought it was gonna? Look are there any surprises for?
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: You has he been kind of how you thought he would?
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: Be coming back? Home give me your thoughts on his
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: job so? Far, YEAH i.
- 1:02:16Speaker 9: Will.
- 1:02:16Speaker 6: Yeah, so first of, ALL i want to establish that
- 1:02:18Speaker 6: when you're in the brotherhood of Former utah basketball, players
- 1:02:22Speaker 6: even if you don't know know each, other you loosely
- 1:02:24Speaker 6: know each. Other and so it's been really nice for
- 1:02:26Speaker 6: me as a former player to just hang out With
- 1:02:29Speaker 6: alex and spend time with. Him he's a great, guy
- 1:02:32Speaker 6: just like you would expect that he. Is you, know
- 1:02:34Speaker 6: he's easy to talk. To we don't just talk, basketball
- 1:02:36Speaker 6: we talk. FAMILY i think that it has been. Hard
- 1:02:40Speaker 6: it's been a challenge on a lot of. Levels you,
- 1:02:42Speaker 6: know THE nba is a lot different than college, basketball
- 1:02:46Speaker 6: and you're kind of getting to feel for. That he's
- 1:02:48Speaker 6: getting to feel for. That he stayed really Consistent, Sean
- 1:02:52Speaker 6: so that's what's been really. Nice like the athletes don't
- 1:02:55Speaker 6: have too much on their. Plate he's kept the offensive
- 1:02:58Speaker 6: structure really. Basic, defensively you, know if we only, man
- 1:03:02Speaker 6: we only defend man and man obviously we. Double BUT
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: i think he's trying to establish and he is, establishing you,
- 1:03:09Speaker 6: know his own personality in this. Team the one THING
- 1:03:12Speaker 6: i think THAT i would say has been difficult for
- 1:03:14Speaker 6: this team is the. Voices So alex was a really good,
- 1:03:17Speaker 6: communicator And coach mcjeris's, teams you had to communicate at
- 1:03:21Speaker 6: a high. Level you had to use your. Voice we
- 1:03:23Speaker 6: don't have that right now on this. Team there are
- 1:03:25Speaker 6: some guys that are communicating but not at a high,
- 1:03:28Speaker 6: level and that is going to make them better as
- 1:03:31Speaker 6: a year goes. On that's the one thing you're going
- 1:03:33Speaker 6: to see from his teams as he has his feed
- 1:03:36Speaker 6: under him and he moves, forward because you're going to
- 1:03:38Speaker 6: see he'll recruit. Kids they're going to be really good
- 1:03:42Speaker 6: to communicating and all that means is just understanding what
- 1:03:44Speaker 6: you doing on defense and talking to each. Other so
- 1:03:47Speaker 6: that's WHAT i expect more than, anything is that we'd
- 1:03:49Speaker 6: be very good, defensively and we haven't been very good
- 1:03:51Speaker 6: devestigat this.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: Year is that.
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: A tactical problem or is that a technical? Problem is
- 1:03:59Speaker 3: that say you got to build that slowly from a culture?
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: Standpoint that's a really good.
- 1:04:06Speaker 6: Question AND i, MEAN i want to say that you
- 1:04:10Speaker 6: don't have to build that slowly from a culture, Standpoint
- 1:04:13Speaker 6: but the reality, is and Maybe, Sean i'm certainly not
- 1:04:16Speaker 6: an expert in this, matter but but you AND i
- 1:04:19Speaker 6: spend all day talking to people and we, communicate you,
- 1:04:22Speaker 6: know it's part of our. JOB i do think that
- 1:04:26Speaker 6: not everyone's built like. That and you, know maybe then
- 1:04:30Speaker 6: what it is is understanding when you're bringing athletes in
- 1:04:33Speaker 6: h you know what they're going to be like from
- 1:04:35Speaker 6: a communication. Standpoint you often get a bill for that
- 1:04:38Speaker 6: when you're talking to, them but when they get out
- 1:04:39Speaker 6: on the floor it can be a little bit. DIFFERENT
- 1:04:41Speaker 6: i think it's a function of them getting the reps
- 1:04:44Speaker 6: in with their voice and getting better with their voice
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: if they can do, that and then believing right, like
- 1:04:50Speaker 6: you got to believe that it makes a. Difference if
- 1:04:52Speaker 6: you don't believe it makes a, difference then maybe it.
- 1:04:54Speaker 6: Doesn't and we're in a we're in more of a
- 1:04:56Speaker 6: transactional environment than we've ever. Been that's just the reality
- 1:05:00Speaker 6: in college, athletics meaning that you, know maybe you, know
- 1:05:04Speaker 6: being best friends with the guy that you go to
- 1:05:06Speaker 6: school with is not going to happen because of the.
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: Circumstances so we're seeing in the college football World indiana
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: doing things that none of us ever believed The university
- 1:05:18Speaker 3: Of indiana would do on a football. Field and it's
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: not like they're not a talented.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Team they.
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: ARE i, mean they have The Heisman trophy, winner and
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: they got all these guys that were in their fourth
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: and fifth year of college football. Experience but from an
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: objective evaluation, standpoint they're not the, biggest the, strongest the.
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: Fastest they are the best. Team AND i know football
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: basketball is apples and oranges, Sometimes but, yeah Is utah
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: going to be able to do? It not this year,
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: Probably but to do it that way where you're just
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: even though you are not the, best the most, talented the,
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: tallest the, longest the, fastest you are a better. Team
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: is that how they're going to have to do it
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: in this modern? ERA i believe.
- 1:06:01Speaker 6: Absolutely it's a great example, actually because you have cohesion and.
- 1:06:05Speaker 6: Alchemy you have a team In indiana that obviously they
- 1:06:09Speaker 6: appear to like each. OTHER i don't, know AND i
- 1:06:10Speaker 6: think football is tougher Them basketball by leaps and bounds
- 1:06:13Speaker 6: in terms of being cohesive because you have so many moving.
- 1:06:16Speaker 6: Parts basketball is much. Easier AND i will say our
- 1:06:19Speaker 6: team has definitely become more connected. Defensively you're going to
- 1:06:23Speaker 6: see us double a lot TODAY Jt toppin and we're
- 1:06:26Speaker 6: going to Double Walter, watson one of my former. Teammates
- 1:06:29Speaker 6: he plays on this, team and how we rotate out
- 1:06:32Speaker 6: of that double and how we communicate can really make
- 1:06:35Speaker 6: a difference in terms of how successfully Are BUT i
- 1:06:37Speaker 6: think that's what we're going to have to.
- 1:06:38Speaker 10: Be.
- 1:06:38Speaker 6: Absolutely that's What majeri's teams, Were that's What alex, knows
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: that's how he, coaches that's what he's doing with them
- 1:06:44Speaker 6: in the shoot. Around it's IT'S i, Agree, YEAH i
- 1:06:47Speaker 6: think we need to be that style team and that's
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: how we're going to be.
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: Successful Sean moody for another couple of minutes here on
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: The sean O'Connell.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: Show so let's get specific on.
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: Tonight you have a really tough post, program like you're
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: talking about With Texas. Tech you don't necessarily match up
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: the best way physically with this team, Maybe so how
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: do you approach?
- 1:07:10Speaker 6: IT i, mean so we're GONNA i won't give away
- 1:07:14Speaker 6: our game, plan but you got to pick your poison
- 1:07:17Speaker 6: with this team because they've got really good shooters and
- 1:07:19Speaker 6: they truly go inside. Out and they don't just go inside.
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: Out they do different things like if you REMEMBER d
- 1:07:25Speaker 6: five from last Year Darren, Williams lawan watches him this,
- 1:07:29Speaker 6: year but they basically because they go inside out WITH.
- 1:07:31Speaker 6: Jt top and they can get wide open shots on
- 1:07:34Speaker 6: the opposite side of the. Floor so how we Double
- 1:07:37Speaker 6: if we double with our hands up and try and
- 1:07:39Speaker 6: take away the opposite pass and take it away early
- 1:07:42Speaker 6: Because top and sees the. Double he's really. Smart he's
- 1:07:45Speaker 6: been there for a. While and then when we close,
- 1:07:47Speaker 6: out we got to close out like their shooters and
- 1:07:49Speaker 6: make them, drivers, Right SO i think you'll see that
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: tonight and then really, tonight it's just about matching their.
- 1:07:54Speaker 6: Intensity Texas tech they play at the high level. Intensity
- 1:07:58Speaker 6: their coach McCaslin, says tougher than. Anybody they preach that
- 1:08:03Speaker 6: they've got probably the best guard in the, league and
- 1:08:05Speaker 6: that's saying. Something Christian, anderson he's really really, good especially
- 1:08:08Speaker 6: have to pick and really seven assists a. Game if
- 1:08:11Speaker 6: we can match their energy shot AND i mean it's
- 1:08:13Speaker 6: not easy to, do but if we can do that
- 1:08:15Speaker 6: and play with them in the first, half just like
- 1:08:17Speaker 6: we did With, buau you, KNOW i think we can
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: be competitive with.
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: THEM i don't know How i'm supposed to feel as
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: an observer about things like momentum and how much it
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: matters how you played last game versus you, know carrying
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: it into this. Game like, again last game was a,
- 1:08:33Speaker 3: loss but you probably learned a thing or two about
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: yourself and your teammates and how hard that that game was.
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: Fought and now you're going on the road in another
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: really tough environment where you are a big underdog. Again
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: can you build momentum in a situation like, These.
- 1:08:48Speaker 6: Yeah you absolutely, can but you have to believe. It
- 1:08:52Speaker 6: and that's what's tough with this team right. NOW i
- 1:08:53Speaker 6: think we're three and eight over the last eleven, games
- 1:08:55Speaker 6: but they continue to, compete which you want to see
- 1:08:57Speaker 6: as a. Fan you, KNOW i expected you expect to see,
- 1:09:01Speaker 6: It and, yeah you can build. MOMENTUM i, mean we
- 1:09:03Speaker 6: just played a really good TEAM. Byu we Played, arizona
- 1:09:06Speaker 6: who maybe the best team in the, country you, know it's.
- 1:09:08Speaker 6: Arguable and we've been competitive up to three.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: Of the four.
- 1:09:13Speaker 6: Halves so, yeah we can be competitive and it'd be
- 1:09:16Speaker 6: really nice to break. Through now it's really hard to
- 1:09:19Speaker 6: break through on the. Road BUT i, mean, yeah we
- 1:09:21Speaker 6: can definitely bring what we had at THE bau game
- 1:09:24Speaker 6: into this, game and if we, Don't i'll be.
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: Disappointed all, right big picture THING i wanted to take
- 1:09:30Speaker 3: your brain. About but looking forward to, this how should
- 1:09:34Speaker 3: we feel About Lucas lagrita being on this roster and
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: how should we feel about going up against guys that
- 1:09:41Speaker 3: were in THE G league a couple of years. AGO i,
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: mean it's such an odd thing that THE ncaa and
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: college basketball is trying to find the fixed four and
- 1:09:52Speaker 3: making these announcements THAT i don't know if they're enforceable or,
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: not but it's it feels almost Like lucas was added
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: to this roster somewhat begrudgingly because you're, like, well if
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: everyone else is doing, it we got to do it.
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: Too how should we feel about?
- 1:10:06Speaker 6: THIS i, mean, well first of, all let's just try
- 1:10:09Speaker 6: and make it less. Deep we'll make it less pro. Fun,
- 1:10:12Speaker 6: well well we're going to say that We're i'm first of, All.
- 1:10:15Speaker 6: LUCAS i don't know if you got a steam. Showan
- 1:10:17Speaker 6: he made two passes in the ten minutes he got to,
- 1:10:20Speaker 6: play and unfortunately he got hurt and he's not going
- 1:10:22Speaker 6: to be with us for probably four. Weeks, uh but
- 1:10:24Speaker 6: he made two passes, there high level. Passes we've been,
- 1:10:27Speaker 6: bringing uh you, know the pro player from international for
- 1:10:32Speaker 6: a while to college. Basketball we just haven't done that.
- 1:10:35Speaker 6: Here AND i understand that that that's a little on.
- 1:10:38Speaker 6: Savory but if the kids apparently have not got a
- 1:10:40Speaker 6: ten day contract or had a contract with AN nba,
- 1:10:43Speaker 6: team then of course there Were whether we want to
- 1:10:46Speaker 6: admit this or, not we are a, pro a pro
- 1:10:51Speaker 6: style league now in?
- 1:10:52Speaker 3: College is that not? Correct? Absolutely any anybody who is
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: in the at the power for a level right now
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: is either getting compensated or is very close to being
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: compensated just by proving in our coaching, staff they deserve.
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: It so these are.
- 1:11:09Speaker 6: Pros, yeah, yeah, yeah they're. Pros And lucas HE'S i,
- 1:11:13Speaker 6: mean he's a really nice. Addition and like my friends text,
- 1:11:16Speaker 6: me my Buddy brad russa text me and he's, like you,
- 1:11:20Speaker 6: know is everyone Doing they, said all the cool kids

- 1:11:27Speaker 6: to Watch lucas. Playing fortunately we're not going to get
- 1:11:29Speaker 6: to see. Him and we got another shooter out right,
- 1:11:32Speaker 6: Now Jacob. Patrick and we're a little. Thin if you,
- 1:11:35Speaker 6: notice a couple of our players that we were kind
- 1:11:37Speaker 6: of expecting to play quite a bit this year have
- 1:11:40Speaker 6: not played one the launch with the, Team choppamore And
- 1:11:43Speaker 6: jacai has not played as. Much so you, know we

- 1:11:49Speaker 6: there are only four guys down there actually shooting around right.
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: Now in the shoot around all, right the big picture
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: on The big twelve, SLATE i, mean this is the
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: best conference in college basketball in most people's, minds And,
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: Kansas kansas still a top twenty five, team but they're, like,
- 1:12:06Speaker 3: yeah turns out everyone's good, Now so how are you
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: handicapping The big twelve to this?
- 1:12:12Speaker 6: POINT i, mean for, ME i haven't Seen Iowa state
- 1:12:16Speaker 6: play as, much But i'm going to go With arizona
- 1:12:21Speaker 6: by and. LARGE i just think that they're the deepest.
- 1:12:23Speaker 6: TEAM i think you Got jay And, bradley who's a
- 1:12:26Speaker 6: senior who's been there for a long. Time barry's is
- 1:12:29Speaker 6: AN nba, player Co pie's AN nba, player and they've
- 1:12:32Speaker 6: got the dog of ball dogs in Mister. Owaka But ottoburger,
- 1:12:36Speaker 6: Teams Iowa state, teams and THEN i haven't even Mentioned
- 1:12:39Speaker 6: houston and they're. Ridiculous Kingston fleming for that. Team if
- 1:12:42Speaker 6: you am a sena, sean he's a freshman league the
- 1:12:44Speaker 6: freshman class this, year it's off the. Charts but our
- 1:12:47Speaker 6: top six, TEAMS i put him up against THE sec
- 1:12:50Speaker 6: or The Big, ten The big, ten maybe top to,
- 1:12:52Speaker 6: bottom the best, league like if you look at, it
- 1:12:56Speaker 6: but we're we're right. There in our top six, teams
- 1:12:58Speaker 6: four of them could win The national Champ Apiship.
- 1:13:01Speaker 3: February tenth is when you'll See. Houston february seventh Is.
- 1:13:06Speaker 3: Kansas so The big twelve slate is not exactly friendly

- 1:13:49Speaker 3: not going to win. THIS i don't feel that. Way
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: Texas tech's a favorite for a. Reason utah is in
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: the first year of a, rebuild the first year of
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: a new regime Where Alex, jensen who's an excellent, coach
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: is putting his own stamp on things and figuring out

- 1:14:40Speaker 3: point Under Alex. Jensen in the conversation we just finished With,
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: mooney where there's four or five six teams that you
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: know are headed to the tournament out of this big

- 1:14:59Speaker 3: Headed how long is it gonna take to get? THERE
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: i don't. Know could you start making a significant step
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: in that direction tonight Against Texas? TECH i mean a
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: win against a team like that is a big inflection

- 1:19:12Speaker 3: to retire Del curry's number thirty On march. Nineteenth dell
- 1:19:16Speaker 3: is obviously the father Of Steph curry And Seth. Curry
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: he is the all time leading scorer In hornet's, history
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: and of course the local connection. Here he began his
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: career with The Utah jazz all the way back in
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: nineteen eighty. Six so Del curry's getting his jersey. Retired
- 1:19:34Speaker 3: in other jersey retirement, news this one is.
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: Interesting Sergei.
- 1:19:38Speaker 3: FEDEROV i don't know how many of you watched the
- 1:19:40Speaker 3: nineteen eighties and Nineties Detroit Red, wings But Sergei federov
- 1:19:45Speaker 3: And Steve eiserman and those teams were absolutely, unbelievable And
- 1:19:50Speaker 3: Saraghai federov is having his jersey retired by The Red.
- 1:19:54Speaker 3: Wings The Red wings took like an extra five ten
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: years after he became, eligible basically to decide to retire his,
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: jersey because the end of his, reign so to, speak
- 1:20:09Speaker 3: In detroit was a little bit less. Ceremonious he ended
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: up leaving as a free agent and then kind of
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: bounced around the league a little, bit and when it
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: was announced that they were going to retire his, jersey he,
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: said and it was a mistake for me to. LEAVE
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: i should have stayed In detroit and not gone looking
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: for green or. Grass AND i thought that was relevant
- 1:20:30Speaker 3: in today's sports. World but this is a guy who's
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: going down and being honored as one of the all
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: time Great Detroit Red, wings and that's of course the storied,
- 1:20:37Speaker 3: franchise and he he has regrets in his late fifties
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: now he has regrets about the fact that he left
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: when he could have stayed to continue pursuing glory in
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: that original sixth. Uniform also, fascinating and that's something that
- 1:20:54Speaker 3: you really have to worry about as much anymore with
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: the geopolitical. Situation but if you want to spend a
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: couple of minutes in the internet rabbit hole of finding
- 1:21:05Speaker 3: how The Detroit Red wings Helped Serge fedov defect from
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: The Soviet, union.
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Pretty interesting. Stuff like he was in.
- 1:21:16Speaker 3: COUNTRY i think he was In, canada maybe for The
- 1:21:19Speaker 3: Goodwill games as a member of THE ussr, team and
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: The Detroit Red wings had a dude there who was
- 1:21:27Speaker 3: like covertly sitting there with a newspaper on his, lap
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: AND i think if it was the newspaper was, open
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: then it was like, hey let's. Go and if he
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: kept the newspaper, closed it was like, hey we'll get
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: you another. Time it was like some spy. STUFF i,
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: mean you kind of had to it in those, days
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: right with The Soviet. Union oh my. God, yeah So.
- 1:21:47Speaker 3: Federov so the story, Goes federov sees this, person sees his,
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: contact and the newspaper whatever was postured. Correctly so he's just, like,
- 1:21:57Speaker 3: okay went over with that guy out the side. Door
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: they get on a private, plane fly to The United,
- 1:22:02Speaker 3: states fly To, detroit like it was a. Thing that's
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: how he. Defected that's how we. Defected that's. Incredible it
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: was like an operation Get Serg fedov out of THE.
- 1:22:11Speaker 3: Ussr so kind of. Cool that's that's really. Cool i'd
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: love to hear more of, those like sports sports specific
- 1:22:22Speaker 3: here's how we got so and so to defect from
- 1:22:26Speaker 3: from The Soviet union in the. Eighties, yeah stories you.
- 1:22:29Speaker 3: Get get get some really interesting ones from hockey for.
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: Sure absolutely get some really interesting Like cuba baseball. Ones,
- 1:22:38Speaker 3: yeah and those stories are really. Cool they're guys that
- 1:22:42Speaker 3: had to like hire a smuggler to to take them
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: by boat To florida that kind of, stuff or in
- 1:22:49Speaker 3: too To mexico and then into THE.
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: Us, yeah it's really wild.
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: House like SOME i imagine you're the border patrol, agent
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: right who or the coastcar and you intercept this like
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: collection of inner tubes trying to as refugees are trying
- 1:23:08Speaker 3: to get to The United, states trying to get To miami,
- 1:23:10Speaker 3: whatever and you see one of them just happens to
- 1:23:13Speaker 3: be like six three and. Jacked, yeah you're just, like
- 1:23:16Speaker 3: wait a, second what's your, Name Sir Yasiel, Puig, like, oh,
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: okay A Rallis. CHAPMAN i, mean it's it's such a
- 1:23:26Speaker 3: different thing than when we're talking about and we do
- 1:23:29Speaker 3: it all the. TIME i, mean the bulk of my,
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: show we're talking about like people that are just now becoming,
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: adults trying to pursue their athletic, dreams, right college football,
- 1:23:38Speaker 3: players college basketball, players and most of, them the vast
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: majority of them come up in A United states prep,
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: system OR i guess some of them A canadian prep
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: system that is like geared for their, success that is completely.
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: Built there's, infrastructure there's, coaches there's accessory, staff there's now.
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: Nutritionists everything is built to make them as successful as,
- 1:24:01Speaker 3: possible and thankfully a lot of people maximize that potential
- 1:24:08Speaker 3: and end up with a really great. Life and then
- 1:24:11Speaker 3: you've got these people who had to leave every friend
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: and family behind, them who had to leave their, home
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: had to leave their home land in a lot of,
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: cases to create a better situation for. Themselves and If
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: i'm not, mistaken in the case of Like Sergei federov
- 1:24:28Speaker 3: and a lot of those Those Russian federation we would
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: call it now athletes who had to come over in
- 1:24:36Speaker 3: dubiously legal situations or defecting or. WHATEVER i think once
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: they made it onto THEIR nhl, roster because the tensions
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: were not fully. DISSIPATED i don't think they. WERE i
- 1:24:48Speaker 3: don't think it was talked about in the, media you
- 1:24:50Speaker 3: know WHAT i. MEAN i think that the story right,
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: now if you had an equivalent situation of, this every
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: single time somebody appeared on the, ice the announcer would
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: just be, like and there is the recent defectee From.
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: Moldova back, then it was just like just say. It back,
- 1:25:10Speaker 3: then it was just, like let's just pretend that didn't
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: have to happen in order for him to pursue his
- 1:25:15Speaker 3: dreams because, sure you, know some random person is watching, like,
- 1:25:20Speaker 3: wait he's a. Defector oh NOW i don't like. Him
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: or he's a. Defector he's supposed to still be in my.
- 1:25:25Speaker 3: Country i'm going to call my uncle who's, there and
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: he's gonna go over that LIKE i call The. Motherlands it,
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: was it was. Tense it's it is. Interesting the first
- 1:25:33Speaker 3: TIME i remember hearing the word defected was on a
- 1:25:37Speaker 3: sports broadcast about A cuban About cuban baseball, players And i'm, like,
- 1:25:42Speaker 3: wait what that sounds? Dubious? Defected what what was actually?
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: Mean AND i, learned, well it just it means he
- 1:25:49Speaker 3: immigrated from the other country and he had to he
- 1:25:53Speaker 3: basically had to disown that that other, country that that
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: usually communist. Country he had to kind of sneak. Out
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: so it's, like, okay that's what defected. Me but they
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: just say it. Now oh, see, YEAH i can't imagine
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: they did that back. Then that's that's a wild. Story
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: uh you ready for some significant junk? MAN i just
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: pulled it? Up did you pull it? Up did junk?

- 1:30:20Speaker 3: like literally back in two thousand. Whatever, yeah LIKE nba
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: live back in the TWO i think it was the four.

- 1:30:29Speaker 3: Good that was a good. GAME i did enjoy that four.
- 1:30:32Speaker 3: Version and at that POINT i was a Big Alonzo morning,
- 1:30:35Speaker 3: guy all, Right SO i would The. Heat, YEAH i
- 1:30:38Speaker 3: would play as The heat AND i would just feed
- 1:30:41Speaker 3: the ball To Alonzo morning literally every possession like rookie,
- 1:30:45Speaker 3: mode unlike rookie, mode and he would end up with
- 1:30:47Speaker 3: like ninety percent of my team's. Points, yeah it's a
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: time honor. Tradition how you used to play video? Games,
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: ABSOLUTELY i, UH i think on that FOUR NB I
- 1:31:03Speaker 3: i LOVED i Loved Dwayne wade even like starting with

- 1:31:11Speaker 3: as The heat AND i and that was the year
- 1:31:13Speaker 3: before they traded For. Shack SO i made the trade
- 1:31:17Speaker 3: For shaq on that, game all, right and made like
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: the five you KNOW nba, champion oh six version of
- 1:31:24Speaker 3: the heat you know in the game that was the year. Before,
- 1:31:30Speaker 3: yeah and just. Dominated just throw throw it down to
- 1:31:32Speaker 3: the big, man dunking people's. Faces that's how you did.
- 1:31:36Speaker 3: It that was the best way to, play by the.
- 1:31:39Speaker 3: Way Adrian stubbs is five, ten one hundred and seventy
- 1:31:42Speaker 3: pounds and is a zero star.
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: Recruit according to twenty four to.
- 1:31:45Speaker 3: Seven he only has offers to play junior college ball so. Far, okay,
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: well so far he's probably gonna get some, calls now
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: you would, think maybe. Not, okay tell me how this, Happens,
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: like somebody explain this to. Me all, RIGHT i don't
- 1:32:03Speaker 3: know anything about the level of basketball being played In
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: arizona on the prep, level but we know that there's
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: a couple Of big twelve teams in that. State there's
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: also a couple Of Big sky teams in that. State
- 1:32:15Speaker 3: there's a bunch of, LIKE i, mean It's, arizona, right
- 1:32:18Speaker 3: it's a neighbor of. Ours how does a guy who
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: was the six to A player of The year In,
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: arizona whose previous high was fifty six points in a,
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: game and who just scored one hundred points how does
- 1:32:32Speaker 3: that kid not Have like if you look up his
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: recruiting profile right, now it's exactly.
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: Nothing they don't even have a picture of.
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: Him should We we just talked To Sean, mooney and
- 1:32:43Speaker 3: we should tell him to Tell Alex jensen to call this.
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: KID i realize ten one hundred and seventy five. POUNDS i,
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: mean you could walk down the street and find someone
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: who's five ten one hundred and seventy five. Pounds you
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: you're probably not gonna find someone that's capable of scoring
- 1:32:56Speaker 3: one hundred points in a, game and kofa high is
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: mostly likely like a reservation team or something where you
- 1:33:03Speaker 3: see these terrible mismatches or rural. Area, yeah that's, tough,
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: right so you shouldn't judge it based on. That but
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: if the kid has fifty six points before and is
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: the SIX A player of the, year how does the
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: SIX a player of the year not have an?
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: OFFER i don't understand.
- 1:33:18Speaker 3: That that's that's wild that he's probably gonna get offers
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: now that now that this has. HAPPENED i would, think,
- 1:33:26Speaker 3: which by the, way is most likely because people learn
- 1:33:29Speaker 3: his name and like lazy coaches and recruiters, say oh,
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: WOW i didn't know about this? Kid how do you
- 1:33:36Speaker 3: not know about? Him if he was the player of the. Year,
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: yeah there's got to be something, wrong something we don't.
- 1:33:42Speaker 3: Know by the, Way, also if he gets one hundred
- 1:33:48Speaker 3: in three quarters and he's scored basically every one of
- 1:33:52Speaker 3: your team's, points if not literally every one of your team's,
- 1:33:55Speaker 3: points how is? It how do you not let the
- 1:33:58Speaker 3: kid try to get one? FIFTY i guess because you're
- 1:34:01Speaker 3: like sportsmanship and all. THAT i, Guess, YEAH i guess
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: because the other team has twenty five points and it's probably.
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: Crying but, like.
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: If i'm of course the this this player was probably,
- 1:34:16Speaker 3: Like i'd rather keep, scoring, Coach But i'd be, like
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: what's the all time high school record in the? Nation
- 1:34:24Speaker 3: CAN i go for? That because guys have scored more
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: than one hundred in high school levels, before whatever that.
- 1:34:30Speaker 3: Is i'd be, like, coach are you SURE i can't
- 1:34:33Speaker 3: go after? THAT i just did one hundred and three?
- 1:34:35Speaker 3: Quarters you want to let me try to do something
- 1:34:38Speaker 3: truly historic? Here that that's? Incredible so kofa High i'm
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: just looking up trying to get a sense of how
- 1:34:45Speaker 3: you score one hundred points against the team it shares
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: its name with The Coofa, mountains which the mountains were
- 1:34:54Speaker 3: named for The king Of arizona gold, mine which was
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: discovered in eighteen ninety six and went until nineteen. Ten
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: and the mine used to stamp all of its property
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: k of, a, kofa, kofa so it became known as
- 1:35:10Speaker 3: The kopa. Mine they are The kofah kings king Of
- 1:35:14Speaker 3: so you read that slowly, Enough i'm like named for
- 1:35:17Speaker 3: The king Of. Arizona when did they name.
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: For the cold?
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: Mine Whoa, okay hold on a second, here this is also.
- 1:35:25Speaker 3: Interesting Kane velaska is two Time Arizona State wrestling, champion
- 1:35:31Speaker 3: Former Arizona State Sun devil, wrestler AND Ufc heavyweight. Champion
- 1:35:37Speaker 3: FORMER Ufc Heavyweight champion who is eligible for parole next
- 1:35:41Speaker 3: month after a really tragic. Incident Kane velaskaz attended kofa
- 1:35:46Speaker 3: High Cofa. Caine that's what you should start calling. Is
- 1:35:50Speaker 3: he's not A he's not A pfl.
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: Guy he's THE ufc. Guy he's THE ufc.
- 1:35:53Speaker 3: Guy, okay, well cof you can call yourself The Cofa,
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: Caines Cofa. Caine anyone who knows the story Of velasquez
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: right now it's this is a family show and it's
- 1:36:04Speaker 3: like really dark subject, Manners SO i don't want to
- 1:36:06Speaker 3: talk about, it but it's and look it. Up it's
- 1:36:09Speaker 3: a tough thing that. It's i'm glad he's going to
- 1:36:12Speaker 3: be eligible for paroles. Soon he, yeah he's he did
- 1:36:16Speaker 3: something that a lot of us would have, done and
- 1:36:17Speaker 3: he did a bad job of hiding. It and the
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: judicial system is treating, him probably partly because of his,
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: celebrity but also BECAUSE i think there's some humanity being shown.
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: Here is treating him in a way THAT i.
- 1:36:31Speaker 3: Think i'm always trashing how ridiculous our judicial system. Is
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: this particular, case it's, like oh, Wow, like, OKAY i
- 1:36:41Speaker 3: understand why he didn't do, it you, know the smart,
- 1:36:44Speaker 3: way and you probably need to be punished for. It but,
- 1:36:48Speaker 3: anyway a little, aside if you want to read up on,
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: That i'll let you do. It but, yeah kofa high
- 1:36:52Speaker 3: school And yuma is it's like a lot of it's,

- 1:38:02Speaker 3: bucks fans at a home. GAME i did see this
- 1:38:05Speaker 3: as a retaliation for them booing him and for a
- 1:38:08Speaker 3: game that they lost one thirty nine to one oh.
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: Six when to The Tea wolves When Anthony edwards And
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: Rudy gobert didn't, play you deserve to be, Booed, giannis
- 1:38:17Speaker 3: and you probably shouldn't boo the fans that are supporting.
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: You jannis can get away with booing a couple of. Times,
- 1:38:24Speaker 3: yeah when you're AN mvp who delivered a championship to
- 1:38:28Speaker 3: a city that otherwise wouldn't have had. One you can
- 1:38:31Speaker 3: you could probably push back a little, bit but you
- 1:38:34Speaker 3: gotta be careful how you manage, it how often you
- 1:38:36Speaker 3: do it dunks and does the two thumbs down and
- 1:38:39Speaker 3: boosts fans. Back it. Is it's pretty, funny but also,
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: Like i'm not Really i'm not necessarily with home fans
- 1:38:49Speaker 3: booing the home, team But i'm. Not i'm really not
- 1:38:52Speaker 3: with the players being mad that they played bad enough
- 1:38:55Speaker 3: to have been booed by the home. Fans the mad
- 1:38:57Speaker 3: that the home fans are because we saw there was
- 1:39:00Speaker 3: a there was A magic game now a long time
- 1:39:03Speaker 3: ago here and Jazz man's probably maybe the one or
- 1:39:09Speaker 3: two times they've ever booted The jazz. Right but they
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: but this was an Inferior magic. Team this Was Donovan
- 1:39:15Speaker 3: Mitchell rudy Gobert, ira so some expectations they had to
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: come back from like twenty points down to beat, him
- 1:39:21Speaker 3: and they, did but they got booed at one point
- 1:39:24Speaker 3: because it's, like you guys are. Playing you guys look
- 1:39:27Speaker 3: like you're sweep walking out there and losing to a
- 1:39:30Speaker 3: Terrible magic team and after the game all the players
- 1:39:32Speaker 3: wanted to talking about is, LIKE i don't get why
- 1:39:34Speaker 3: they boot. Us it's like because you. Sucked it's okay
- 1:39:37Speaker 3: for the fans to express that they're mad that you
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: are sucking when you shouldn't. Be your child is not
- 1:39:43Speaker 3: old enough yet for them to have like he hasn't
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: just been Like braddy, yet, Right, no he's a perfect little.
- 1:39:52Speaker 3: Human like what he, cries it's because there's a reason
- 1:39:54Speaker 3: for him to. Cry, Yeah, like at some, point your
- 1:39:57Speaker 3: kid's gonna be old enough where they're they're doing, there they're, crying,
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: screaming throwing a fit over something that you're, like are
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: you calling my child the future? Brat i'm calling your
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: child because at some point he's gonna like pitch a
- 1:40:11Speaker 3: fit over. Something you'd be, Like, nope we don't do, that,
- 1:40:15Speaker 3: Right and so he maybe will be screaming and you'll
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: have done the soft parenting thing and you'll have been, like,
- 1:40:21Speaker 3: hey don't do, that like like the ninety ninth time
- 1:40:26Speaker 3: that he's just screaming with no good reason to.
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: Scream you, Might james do WHAT.
- 1:40:32Speaker 3: I am a shame to me THAT i have done
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: WHERE i just screamed back just like and just go
- 1:40:39Speaker 3: right Back, adam and they're, like, whoa what the that's
- 1:40:42Speaker 3: What yannis did to the home fans booming and he's,
- 1:40:44Speaker 3: like oh yeah boo and fans like wait what you
- 1:40:49Speaker 3: you believe?
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: Me why do you believe? Me like have you ever

- 1:40:54Speaker 3: You?
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: Right they're just, like whoa what what is? That and
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: it only?
- 1:40:58Speaker 3: Pause it makes a pause for, us and then it
- 1:41:00Speaker 3: usually redoubles the. Effort SO i imagine that this had
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: the same effect where they booed.
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: Him he bowed. Them there's, like, wait you believe?
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: Me no woo You, no we're the, booers you're the

- 1:41:32Speaker 3: ah to, You you're like what so you. Yourself you're
- 1:41:37Speaker 3: gonna be honest at some, Point james let he without
- 1:41:41Speaker 3: booing sin cast the first booing. Stone. Uh this is
- 1:41:46Speaker 3: probably the biggest story in the college football since we
- 1:41:49Speaker 3: have right now in the transfer portal slash uh college
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: football decision making. World Dante, moore The oregon quarterback for
- 1:42:00Speaker 3: WH ucla quarterback one time five star, recruit has decided
- 1:42:05Speaker 3: that he is running it back at The university Of.
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: OREGON i don't like the wording in The PETE theamil

- 1:42:15Speaker 3: up a chance to be a top pick in the
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: twenty twenty SIX Nfl. DRAFT i think That Dante moore
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: was probably getting advisement from people in and AROUND nfl
- 1:42:24Speaker 3: circles that were, like, hey, man we really really think
- 1:42:27Speaker 3: you can be the number one overall pick if you
- 1:42:29Speaker 3: come back and play some. More he doesn't have quite
- 1:42:35Speaker 3: as many, starts he doesn't have quite as many, yards
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: he doesn't have the level of experience that some of
- 1:42:41Speaker 3: the other quarterbacks in this, draft and especially For Nana mendoza's,
- 1:42:44Speaker 3: got So Dante moore's going back To. Oregon on top of,
- 1:42:49Speaker 3: that we have no. Idea what kind of offer is
- 1:42:54Speaker 3: coming Across Dante moore's desk From, oregon From Phil, knight
- 1:43:00Speaker 3: who we looked it up earlier this. Week he's eighty

- 1:43:12Speaker 3: to win a national. Championship, Right oregon and the people around,

- 1:43:48Speaker 3: dump and made thirty million dollars while it was. Happening
- 1:43:52Speaker 3: brought to you By Valley, plumbing of, course brought to
- 1:43:54Speaker 3: YOU i the truck with the. Duck, see we're Talking oregon.
- 1:43:58Speaker 3: Here it all. FITS i don't. KNOW i mean speaking
- 1:44:02Speaker 3: of office, trivia going on To Big willise, tonight it all.
- 1:44:05Speaker 3: Connects here's the. THING i don't think it's reasonable ever
- 1:44:10Speaker 3: to pretend that it makes more sense to stay in
- 1:44:16Speaker 3: school than to be a top draft pick in THE.
- 1:44:19Speaker 3: NFL i don't think it ever makes sense from a
- 1:44:21Speaker 3: pure financial.
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: Standpoint but if there's.
- 1:44:24Speaker 3: Any school that can make, it like can close the,
- 1:44:26Speaker 3: gap so to, speak it's The Oregon ducks thinking they're
- 1:44:29Speaker 3: gonna win a national championship in twenty twenty. Six, well
- 1:44:32Speaker 3: and it helps that you can Tell dante. More you
- 1:44:36Speaker 3: play like you did this. Year you don't even have
- 1:44:38Speaker 3: to play much better than you did this. Year just,
- 1:44:40Speaker 3: play just match. It you're gonna you have a, shot
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: a very realistic, shot at being the number one pick
- 1:44:48Speaker 3: next year instead of being Behind Fernando. Mendoza so you
- 1:44:53Speaker 3: make that whatever the gap still might be after this,
- 1:44:56Speaker 3: Money i'm offering you to come. Back you make that
- 1:44:58Speaker 3: up and and then some by being the number one
- 1:45:02Speaker 3: overall pick instead of like you, said a little bit,
- 1:45:04Speaker 3: later a little bit later in the early part of
- 1:45:06Speaker 3: the first. Round so that helps To we now have several,
- 1:45:11Speaker 3: stories right of people saying, like, HEY i think If
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: Arch manning went in the, draft he'd be a top five.
- 1:45:16Speaker 3: GUY i think If Dante moore went in the draft
- 1:45:18Speaker 3: to be a top five. Guy top five picks make
- 1:45:22Speaker 3: forty plus million dollars guaranteed on their. Contracts so this
- 1:45:26Speaker 3: is not a financially motivated, decision at least not. Purely
- 1:45:30Speaker 3: But dante more is coming back to The university Of
- 1:45:33Speaker 3: oregon for twenty twenty. Six that is big news for
- 1:45:35Speaker 3: The ducks and on the college football, front that's a
- 1:45:38Speaker 3: big national story because this is one of the top
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: returning quarterbacks for one of the top returning teams who
- 1:45:44Speaker 3: was in a semi final this. Year for what it's,
- 1:45:49Speaker 3: worth he did announce it On, SportsCenter and during the,
- 1:45:52Speaker 3: announcement his reasoning that he cited WAS i want to
- 1:45:58Speaker 3: be even more basically, PARAPHRASING i want to be even
- 1:46:02Speaker 3: more ready for THE. Nfl so that that's what he's
- 1:46:05Speaker 3: selling people, publicly but behind the scenes it's probably he's
- 1:46:08Speaker 3: probably getting a nice bag From phil Knight ian and
- 1:46:12Speaker 3: a shot at a national. Championship imagine the leverage you
- 1:46:15Speaker 3: have if You're Dante. Moore you walk in and you're
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: just like miss Coach, Lanning i'd like you to Get
- 1:46:21Speaker 3: Phil knight here SO i can talk to him and
- 1:46:24Speaker 3: just be, like, HEY i want to come.
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: BACK i want to try to win a national.
- 1:46:26Speaker 3: Championship i'm leaving potentially forty million bucks on the, table
- 1:46:31Speaker 3: AND i would like a signature. Shoe Phil knight can
- 1:46:35Speaker 3: wave a wand and make whatever happens whatever he wants
- 1:46:38Speaker 3: happens For Dante, moore if he's interested in, THAT i don't.
- 1:46:40Speaker 3: Know maybe he's just, like, no, KID i don't care
- 1:46:43Speaker 3: if you stay BECAUSE i could buy another. Quarterback but
- 1:46:46Speaker 3: in any, Case Dante moore is staying In. Oregon all,
- 1:46:50Speaker 3: right we gotta double up. Here we're gonna come back

- 1:49:06Speaker 3: Success CAN i give you some credit for your YOUR.
- 1:49:09Speaker 3: Clairev williams, here because we had a conversation not so
- 1:49:14Speaker 3: long ago and you were, like we were talking about
- 1:49:16Speaker 3: this home, stand how many points you wanted to see
- 1:49:18Speaker 3: The mammoth. Get they're on pace to meet or exceed your.
- 1:49:22Speaker 3: Target and also you, said, Look daniel boot has been so.
- 1:49:26Speaker 3: Close we're going to see a stretch here pretty soon
- 1:49:29Speaker 3: where he has like five goals in five, games we're
- 1:49:31Speaker 3: going to see a stretch where he starts to be
- 1:49:33Speaker 3: productive here and lo and, Behold Daniel boot has been.
- 1:49:37Speaker 3: Awesome another goal last, night the first game of the
- 1:49:40Speaker 3: home standing.
- 1:49:40Speaker 2: Goal so it's, like you know what you're, doing you.
- 1:49:44Speaker 10: Know what This this kid just puts himself in positions to.
- 1:49:50Speaker 10: Succeed and head Coach Andre turney said after the game
- 1:49:53Speaker 10: last night he thought he should have had two goals
- 1:49:56Speaker 10: because he knocked home a puck on the power play
- 1:49:59Speaker 10: that was under the padding the equipment the body Of
- 1:50:04Speaker 10: Dennis hill to be The toronto, goaltender and there was
- 1:50:07Speaker 10: a quick Whistle jack McBay and threw it into the.
- 1:50:09Speaker 10: Crease it was lost sight of for a split second
- 1:50:13Speaker 10: by the, official blew the play dead And boot knocked it.
- 1:50:17Speaker 10: In And bear, SAID i think he should have had
- 1:50:20Speaker 10: two goals in that, game which oc would have kept
- 1:50:23Speaker 10: me trending on my promise that he's going to have
- 1:50:27Speaker 10: a five goal in five game. Stretch but on the
- 1:50:31Speaker 10: fourth goal That utah, had he manufactured that from his.
- 1:50:36Speaker 10: Knees As toronto had the, puck he slid, down slid it,
- 1:50:40Speaker 10: away kept him from getting the puck out of the,
- 1:50:43Speaker 10: zone forced the, turnover got it To Ian cole and
- 1:50:46Speaker 10: then boot went behind the, net got the puck To,
- 1:50:49Speaker 10: paterca went in front of the, NET jj fired it
- 1:50:52Speaker 10: in And Big daniel boots, there blocking the vision and
- 1:50:57Speaker 10: the eyes in the sight of the goalie and went.
- 1:51:00Speaker 10: In so's he's been doing some good. Stuff it's it's
- 1:51:03Speaker 10: been over a month since he's been in THE, nhl
- 1:51:06Speaker 10: and he's you, know has he been.
- 1:51:08Speaker 3: Perfect.
- 1:51:09Speaker 10: No he took a penalty late in the third period
- 1:51:11Speaker 10: On sunday that you, know ultimately led To columbus's game
- 1:51:15Speaker 10: winning power play. Goal but he's he's been pretty. Solid
- 1:51:17Speaker 10: have really liked What i've seen from number.
- 1:51:20Speaker 3: Nineteen jack McBain had a single goal to assist night as. Well,
- 1:51:25Speaker 3: Uh jack McBain Is jack McBain just better when you
- 1:51:28Speaker 3: let him be, violent when you let him fight a little,
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: bit and you're just, like, hey that's the guy who Hurt.
- 1:51:33Speaker 3: Cooley we're just gonna off the opening face. Off we're
- 1:51:36Speaker 3: just gonna let you take care of this. Business it feels,
- 1:51:39Speaker 3: like and Maybe i'm just manufacturing this in my own
- 1:51:42Speaker 3: mind BECAUSE i like the idea of, it but it
- 1:51:44Speaker 3: feels like he's one of those, guys if you just
- 1:51:46Speaker 3: let him be a little bit nasty and let him,
- 1:51:48Speaker 3: fight then he's gonna play better when it's run a
- 1:51:51Speaker 3: play on ice.
- 1:51:51Speaker 10: Stuff, Yeah bear says that he plays, grumpy he plays,
- 1:51:57Speaker 10: cranky and it's it's he's he's a nice. Guy he's
- 1:52:01Speaker 10: a great. Guy but the way that he that he
- 1:52:04Speaker 10: plays out there is you, know is you're kind of
- 1:52:08Speaker 10: kind of saying a little little violent when when he's.
- 1:52:11Speaker 10: Rolling and last night he got put back With Dylan,
- 1:52:15Speaker 10: gunther his roommate from last, year remember The cribs tour
- 1:52:20Speaker 10: that they gave of their house on The mammoth YouTube
- 1:52:23Speaker 10: page and and their membership To costco where they bought
- 1:52:26Speaker 10: a hot tub as an impulse side of, Him and
- 1:52:29Speaker 10: last year they did have their stretches where they played
- 1:52:32Speaker 10: on the same line With Logan cooley and we called
- 1:52:36Speaker 10: it The kid line and they had some. Success and
- 1:52:39Speaker 10: that was In december when When utah was was on
- 1:52:43Speaker 10: one of their better stretches of the, year unbeaten and
- 1:52:45Speaker 10: in seventh. Straight so he gets to go back With
- 1:52:48Speaker 10: gunther and Then carconi joined that that line. Too those
- 1:52:53Speaker 10: three had twenty shots on goal last night out Of
- 1:52:57Speaker 10: utah's forty. One so it was an impactful performance As
- 1:53:03Speaker 10: bear kind of shook up lines two and three a.
- 1:53:06Speaker 10: Bit he Swapped boot And gunther and saw immediate. Results
- 1:53:11Speaker 10: those two, lines the middle, six he called them combined
- 1:53:14Speaker 10: for all six for The mammoth in that game.
- 1:53:17Speaker 3: And AGAINST i, mean not a bad, team A Maple
- 1:53:20Speaker 3: leafs team that's in kind of a similar situation that.
- 1:53:22Speaker 10: Y'arren they were the second hottest team in THE nhl
- 1:53:26Speaker 10: coming into the game On tuesday. Night they had just
- 1:53:29Speaker 10: beaten The Colorado avalanche four to three in overtime On,
- 1:53:32Speaker 10: monday so they were coming in on a back to,
- 1:53:35Speaker 10: back but they were eight zero to two in their
- 1:53:37Speaker 10: last ten after being in last place in The Eastern
- 1:53:40Speaker 10: conference less than a month. Ago they got things going
- 1:53:44Speaker 10: as they always. Do it seems like they got off
- 1:53:46Speaker 10: to an okay, start and then In november they really
- 1:53:48Speaker 10: struggle and everybody's, like, oh The, leafs what are they
- 1:53:50Speaker 10: gonna do? Now the runs. Over they got to start selling,
- 1:53:54Speaker 10: guys and they fired an assistant coach who ran their power,
- 1:53:58Speaker 10: play and they brought up an assistant coach from THE
- 1:54:02Speaker 10: ahl who actually was an executive In arizona and an assistant
- 1:54:06Speaker 10: general manager that was involved in you, know, signing drafting
- 1:54:10Speaker 10: and acquiring some of the players on This utah roster
- 1:54:13Speaker 10: now and It's Steve. Sullivan but Power play got. Going
- 1:54:16Speaker 10: they went on a nice. Run they came Into utah,
- 1:54:18Speaker 10: hot but oc as we, know with, schedules we've talked
- 1:54:21Speaker 10: surely enough about it with The mammoth this, year their
- 1:54:23Speaker 10: road heavy schedule and all their back to. Backs toronto
- 1:54:26Speaker 10: was in a spot last, night The sandwich, game in
- 1:54:29Speaker 10: between A colorado On monday night and A vegas On
- 1:54:31Speaker 10: thursday night where they're gonna Play Mitch, marnin their leading
- 1:54:33Speaker 10: scorer from last year and from five to the last nine,
- 1:54:36Speaker 10: years one of the biggest acquisitions in THE nhl last
- 1:54:41Speaker 10: summer By vegas in the trade With toronto and the
- 1:54:44Speaker 10: signing trade Because marner wasn't gonna.
- 1:54:45Speaker 3: Resign.
- 1:54:46Speaker 10: There so an emotional game, there big Winning colorado In
- 1:54:49Speaker 10: utah on a back to, back but got a credit The.
- 1:54:51Speaker 10: Mammoth they just came out and took it to them
- 1:54:53Speaker 10: and they didn't. Stop they scored just over three minutes
- 1:54:57Speaker 10: in and as we, said it was one nothing for
- 1:54:59Speaker 10: over twenty minutes and big saves From vimeilica that they
- 1:55:01Speaker 10: just kept going And toronto made it four to one
- 1:55:04Speaker 10: in the, third And UTAH i think shifted it into
- 1:55:08Speaker 10: another gear there to add a couple of late ones
- 1:55:10Speaker 10: and make it six to.
- 1:55:11Speaker 3: One when you talk about the complimentary hockey that needs
- 1:55:15Speaker 3: to be, played like you are you highlighted very?
- 1:55:17Speaker 2: Well how you know there's a tight?
- 1:55:19Speaker 3: Game and Then vimelka needed to make these big saves
- 1:55:22Speaker 3: in one big save in, particular in order to let
- 1:55:25Speaker 3: that damn. Break are they doing that? Enough are they
- 1:55:30Speaker 3: playing complimentary hockey? ENOUGH i, mean obviously these most recent,
- 1:55:33Speaker 3: games it looks like they're on the right, Trend but
- 1:55:36Speaker 3: when you look at the bulk of the last couple of,
- 1:55:38Speaker 3: weeks you look at the bulk of the, season is
- 1:55:40Speaker 3: the hockey complimentary?
- 1:55:41Speaker 10: Enough going into This homestand the emphasis was gay, management
- 1:55:47Speaker 10: as we talked about last, week because the, analytics the
- 1:55:50Speaker 10: underlying numbers for The mammoth are really good offensively and,
- 1:55:53Speaker 10: defensively and it's it's been all season. Long when they don't,
- 1:55:57Speaker 10: win it's Been and how they managed to sit you
- 1:56:00Speaker 10: how a one goal lead turned into a one goal
- 1:56:02Speaker 10: deficit in two, Minutes how a two to one lead
- 1:56:06Speaker 10: in the second turned into a tie game going to
- 1:56:09Speaker 10: the third because you took a late penalty like you
- 1:56:11Speaker 10: did On. Sunday The mammoths were really unhappy with how
- 1:56:16Speaker 10: they played On sunday and really kind of happy to
- 1:56:19Speaker 10: get a point in that game BECAUSE i think they
- 1:56:21Speaker 10: felt they didn't deserve anything with just the overall scope
- 1:56:26Speaker 10: of the. Game the way that they managed To columbus
- 1:56:29Speaker 10: was on a back to, back but they had thirty
- 1:56:31Speaker 10: six shots in the, game did The Blue, Jackets but
- 1:56:33Speaker 10: they just got some some easy stuff kind Of they
- 1:56:37Speaker 10: scored on their second shot of the game off the
- 1:56:39Speaker 10: rush just over two minutes, in they got a late
- 1:56:41Speaker 10: power play goal on the second they won it in,
- 1:56:43Speaker 10: Overtime and that's just kind of how you let a
- 1:56:45Speaker 10: game get away against a team on a back to
- 1:56:47Speaker 10: back you should probably beat by just letting them have
- 1:56:51Speaker 10: opportunities like, that which is What utah has not done
- 1:56:55Speaker 10: in the three of the four home games that they've
- 1:56:57Speaker 10: won so far on the start of this three to
- 1:56:59Speaker 10: zero one on homestand which guarantees them a winning homestand
- 1:57:02Speaker 10: they obviously want more than, that but seven of them
- 1:57:04Speaker 10: possible eight points through four games is a pretty decent.
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: Start we'll get to what they need to.
- 1:57:09Speaker 3: Do coming, up it's The Dallas stars tomorrow, Night sean
- 1:57:13Speaker 3: O'Connell's show between The Pipes Adrian denny here in Our broadway,
- 1:57:18Speaker 3: studios brought to you By Aladdin industries and the truck
- 1:57:21Speaker 3: with The Duck Valley.
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: Plumbing so let's talk About.
- 1:57:24Speaker 3: Dallas let's talk about how you continue this strong, play
- 1:57:28Speaker 3: continue the positive momentum of the homestand it's, obviously you,
- 1:57:32Speaker 3: know very pleasing to the fans that started the year
- 1:57:36Speaker 3: with all this crazy optimism and then came back down
- 1:57:38Speaker 3: to earth a little, bit and, then let's be, honest
- 1:57:40Speaker 3: now starting to drink the kool aid. Again how do
- 1:57:43Speaker 3: you stay strong Against Dallas star's. Team it's another good
- 1:57:47Speaker 3: box to check for The. Mammoth they've never beaten them
- 1:57:51Speaker 3: at home, before but they've never Beaten toronto before last.
- 1:57:54Speaker 3: Night they've never Beaten ottawa Before wednesday. Night if you
- 1:57:58Speaker 3: look at the games again Against dallas so far over
- 1:58:01Speaker 3: the last two, seasons there's been five Games dallas has,
- 1:58:05Speaker 3: won four of. Them one of them came in overtime Last.
- 1:58:08Speaker 3: January but of all four games That dallas has, won
- 1:58:13Speaker 3: they've all been within a goal in the third, period
- 1:58:16Speaker 3: So utah's been in those. GAMES i think last year
- 1:58:20Speaker 3: we're looking at games That utah didn't, win like, okay young,
- 1:58:25Speaker 3: team learning a.
- 1:58:26Speaker 10: Lesson they're in the games a chance to. Win now
- 1:58:30Speaker 10: they have to win those. Games this, year it's kind
- 1:58:35Speaker 10: of been the game management situations that we talked. About
- 1:58:38Speaker 10: and In dallas The friday After, thanksgiving starting that emotional,
- 1:58:42Speaker 10: trip and that was the emotional day that The Clayton
- 1:58:45Speaker 10: keller's father had just passed away the day. Before they
- 1:58:48Speaker 10: jumped up to nothing and then they take a late
- 1:58:51Speaker 10: penalty in the first. Period dallas cash is in on
- 1:58:53Speaker 10: and it's two to. One dallas tied it early in the,
- 1:58:57Speaker 10: second took the, Lead mammoth tied it back, quickly and
- 1:59:00Speaker 10: then immediately went back to the penalty, box power play
- 1:59:03Speaker 10: goal four to three late in the, second no scoring
- 1:59:06Speaker 10: in the, third you lose the game four to, three
- 1:59:07Speaker 10: and you're looking at like we outscored them five on
- 1:59:10Speaker 10: five and then we gave them two power play goals
- 1:59:13Speaker 10: off of bad, penalties one coming late in the, period
- 1:59:16Speaker 10: one after we just tied the game. Up SO i
- 1:59:18Speaker 10: think the test for The mammoth is. Okay we've played
- 1:59:21Speaker 10: this team. Good now we've got to beat. Them and
- 1:59:26Speaker 10: if we keep managing games like we Did, toronto like
- 1:59:29Speaker 10: we Did Saint louis despite not playing their best game
- 1:59:32Speaker 10: On friday, Night famelka a big part of, that and
- 1:59:34Speaker 10: like they did Against, OTTAWA i think they'll like. It oh,
- 1:59:38Speaker 10: See dallas is wrapping up a six game trip that's
- 1:59:41Speaker 10: taken him From carolina TO, dc To San, jose To
- 1:59:45Speaker 10: la To anaheim and now To Salt. Lake so they've
- 1:59:48Speaker 10: been on the road for a. While it's their third
- 1:59:51Speaker 10: game and fourth. Nights we've seen How utah has been
- 1:59:53Speaker 10: at the end of these. Trips you just you just
- 1:59:55Speaker 10: don't have the. Legs so another opportunistic situation that they
- 1:59:59Speaker 10: can go and take advantage.
- 2:00:00Speaker 3: Of you And james were talking about this before we
- 2:00:03Speaker 3: came on air during the. Break dallas second in the.
- 2:00:07Speaker 3: DIVISION a lot of people probably Know they've got sixty
- 2:00:09Speaker 3: three points so far on the, year which puts the
- 2:00:13Speaker 3: division right. Now is just disgusting because even As utah
- 2:00:17Speaker 3: is playing better and piling up some points fifty on
- 2:00:20Speaker 3: the year so, Far minnesota's got sixty. One, dallas AS i,
- 2:00:26Speaker 3: mentioned is sixty three and at the top of the
- 2:00:28Speaker 3: division The Colorado avalanche thirty three four and eight seventy four.
- 2:00:34Speaker 3: Points so the gap even Between colorado And dallas is pretty.
- 2:00:37Speaker 3: Big This Central division is, WELL i guess it's not
- 2:00:42Speaker 3: a nightmare per, se because you're right where you wanted
- 2:00:45Speaker 3: to be or needed to be in this rebuild kind of.
- 2:00:47Speaker 3: Situation but it just hammers home the point For, utah
- 2:00:52Speaker 3: even playing really good hockey right, now how much work
- 2:00:55Speaker 3: there is left to be.
- 2:00:56Speaker 10: Done, yeah And minnesota's Got Quinn. Hughes they just made
- 2:00:58Speaker 10: that huge trade With. Vancouver they're two points in back
- 2:01:02Speaker 10: Of dallas AND. Oc the way the playoffs, work, Right
- 2:01:06Speaker 10: Central division is going to be two versus three like
- 2:01:10Speaker 10: it was last year With dallas In colorado went To game.
- 2:01:14Speaker 10: Seven usually expect that to be a conference finals, matchup
- 2:01:18Speaker 10: but it's divisional in THE, nhl two versus, Three so
- 2:01:22Speaker 10: they're playing for home ice advantage for the next thirty
- 2:01:26Speaker 10: five games or so here and for The, mammoth you
- 2:01:30Speaker 10: look at that and, like, okay let's get that first wild.
- 2:01:33Speaker 10: Card let's play The Pacific division champion and avoid The
- 2:01:38Speaker 10: avs with that second wild. Card right now in The
- 2:01:41Speaker 10: pacific you Got vegas And edmonton with fifty four. Points
- 2:01:45Speaker 10: seattle's playing, good they got fifty. Points But colorado seventy,
- 2:01:48Speaker 10: Four dallas sixty, Three minnesota sixty. ONE i think everybody
- 2:01:55Speaker 10: would agree those are probably the top three teams in
- 2:01:58Speaker 10: THE nhl right, there all in your.
- 2:02:01Speaker 3: Division, Yes. Colorado by the, way when you look right,
- 2:02:05Speaker 3: now if you're just kind of like perusing reading up
- 2:02:09Speaker 3: the latest things in THE nhl and, whatnot and you're just,
- 2:02:12Speaker 3: like let me, see let me just.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: Check up on the stats breakdown right, now.
- 2:02:17Speaker 3: You look at plus, minus top, five they do the
- 2:02:21Speaker 3: top five right this is ON Espn top five and goal,
- 2:02:23Speaker 3: scoring top five in goaltender, wins by the, way In
- 2:02:26Speaker 3: melca number one right, now top five in plus, minus
- 2:02:31Speaker 3: it's Four Colorado avalanche players and One Tampa Bay lightning.
- 2:02:35Speaker 3: Guy and then you expand the full list and it's
- 2:02:39Speaker 3: like ten of the top fifteen are all. Abs that
- 2:02:42Speaker 3: team is not just, good unbelievably hot and unbelievably.
- 2:02:47Speaker 10: Consistent, yeah over four goals a game they allow about.
- 2:02:52Speaker 10: Two their goal differential is plus seventy.
- 2:02:58Speaker 3: Nine that.
- 2:02:59Speaker 10: Good they still haven't lost in regulation at home thirty,
- 2:03:05Speaker 10: three four and Eight they Added Brent, burns who we
- 2:03:09Speaker 10: saw for a number of years With San jose as
- 2:03:11Speaker 10: part of a contending. Team he went To, carolina so
- 2:03:13Speaker 10: they add him as a. Defenseman they get their captain
- 2:03:16Speaker 10: back this, year who had missed almost three years with an.
- 2:03:19Speaker 10: Injury gave Laniskog so a couple of THE x factors
- 2:03:22Speaker 10: there For. Colorado but you know you mentioned the, Stars Nathan,
- 2:03:26Speaker 10: Kinnon cal, Mccarr Martin Nachus they've got pretty core pieces,
- 2:03:30Speaker 10: too and then you you add the captain back And
- 2:03:33Speaker 10: Brent burns and holy, cow two goalies that man Like
- 2:03:38Speaker 10: Scott wedgwood And Mackenzie blackwood like okay, goalies but you're
- 2:03:46Speaker 10: they're elite playing In colorado with that. Team you AND
- 2:03:52Speaker 10: i have talked about this several.
- 2:03:53Speaker 3: Times The olympic break is, Coming The olympics are, coming
- 2:03:56Speaker 3: and The Olympic Hockey arena In, Milan courtino was a
- 2:04:01Speaker 3: big time.
- 2:04:02Speaker 2: Question they did an ice test and apparently came out.
- 2:04:04Speaker 10: Positive, yeah, yeah it's it's coming. Along Ryan smith said
- 2:04:12Speaker 10: late last week he was on thirty Two, thoughts the
- 2:04:14Speaker 10: podcast The sportsnet, does and he, said you, know some
- 2:04:19Speaker 10: of the projects that we've done, here the practice facility
- 2:04:23Speaker 10: turning around The Delta center in a summer with a
- 2:04:25Speaker 10: brand new lower.
- 2:04:26Speaker 3: Bowl he's, like.
- 2:04:28Speaker 10: That's that situation In italy is not something That i'm
- 2:04:31Speaker 10: too concerned, about just BECAUSE i see how you can
- 2:04:36Speaker 10: get stuff up. Overnight one. Concern oh see The Jumbo.
- 2:04:42Speaker 10: TRON i saw somebody say that it's not a jumbo.
- 2:04:44Speaker 10: Tron it's just a. Tron it's just a tronk like an.
- 2:04:47Speaker 10: iPad The jumbo. Tron if you look at the, photos
- 2:04:50Speaker 10: The Jumbo tron is. TINY i actually don't hate this
- 2:04:56Speaker 10: because it's a little bit old school and it makes
- 2:05:02Speaker 10: you watch the actual ice instead of we fall into.
- 2:05:05Speaker 10: THIS i especially last year we had because it, was you,
- 2:05:09Speaker 10: know an arena situation thrown together like you're alluding. To
- 2:05:13Speaker 10: the corners were, short, right and the season ticket package
- 2:05:16Speaker 10: we got was on a short, corner so you couldn't
- 2:05:19Speaker 10: see the near dots. Right so anytime the puck went
- 2:05:22Speaker 10: into that near, corner you face off circle to the.
- 2:05:28Speaker 10: Boards you couldn't see.
- 2:05:30Speaker 3: Right and so that's no problem because The Delta, center
- 2:05:33Speaker 3: you just, Looked, okay there it's on The Jumbo, tron
- 2:05:35Speaker 3: and Now i'm going to go back to the. Ice
- 2:05:37Speaker 3: but those, mega mega huge, screens they keep your eye
- 2:05:42Speaker 3: and so you find yourself getting lazy with it and
- 2:05:45Speaker 3: you look at the screen instead of at the ice.
- 2:05:48Speaker 3: Itself and that's something that we've all been guilty. Of
- 2:05:51Speaker 3: with the video boards At Rice Cycle. Stadium somebody who
- 2:05:56Speaker 3: was it The university Of illinois just announced that they're
- 2:05:58Speaker 3: putting in the largest video board in all of college.
- 2:06:02Speaker 3: Athletics they're doing this like This Jerry world. Thing there's
- 2:06:07Speaker 3: no one's gonna be watching the actual. Field So i'm
- 2:06:09Speaker 3: actually okay with a small jumbo tron because it won't
- 2:06:12Speaker 3: be pulling your eye away from the Actual olympic hockey
- 2:06:15Speaker 3: on the.
- 2:06:15Speaker 10: ICE i am the absolute worst with. Screens i'll go
- 2:06:20Speaker 10: into a sports bar AND i just can't handle. IT
- 2:06:22Speaker 10: i don't know what's going on anywhere Because i'm so
- 2:06:28Speaker 10: all over the mapre remembering when we'd go into a
- 2:06:34Speaker 10: restaurant they would have one TUBE tv that we would
- 2:06:38Speaker 10: watch and you could you could enjoy. Yourself But i'm just,
- 2:06:41Speaker 10: like h uh, uh, look look it. Everywhere so totally like.
- 2:06:44Speaker 3: That So olympic hockey will Include Clayton. Keller what do
- 2:06:51Speaker 3: you think of the way he's playing right. NOW i
- 2:06:54Speaker 3: think he's been really.
- 2:06:57Speaker 10: Good he started this homestand with three straight multiple point.
- 2:07:01Speaker 3: Games we've seen him shooting the.
- 2:07:04Speaker 10: Puck he's such a, talent but he's so, patient he's so,
- 2:07:10Speaker 10: intricate he's so. Meticulous BUT i think we've seen him
- 2:07:14Speaker 10: firing puck. More but he's he's a great. Playmaker adding
- 2:07:20Speaker 10: Lost In kraus to that line with with him And Nick,
- 2:07:22Speaker 10: SMALLTZ i think has added another element to. It BUT
- 2:07:27Speaker 10: i THINK i Think keller's at the level that you,
- 2:07:30Speaker 10: know he's been at every year in his, career which
- 2:07:33Speaker 10: is maybe a little better than the year before in terms,
- 2:07:38Speaker 10: of you, know being a, captain managing the offensive, zone
- 2:07:47Speaker 10: managing the power. Play i've definitely seen him take some
- 2:07:51Speaker 10: some more steps this year in terms of looking for that,
- 2:07:53Speaker 10: shot finding that that. PASS i think he's it's been really.
- 2:08:00Speaker 10: Good first time in his, career by the, way two
- 2:08:03Speaker 10: assists in three straight, games WHICH i thought was interesting
- 2:08:06Speaker 10: because he's a guy that Leads utah with as many
- 2:08:09Speaker 10: multiple point games as he has single point games with.
- 2:08:12Speaker 10: Fourteen the first time in his career he's had two
- 2:08:16Speaker 10: assists in three straight. Games first three games of the
- 2:08:19Speaker 10: homestand but the interesting part of that he had seven
- 2:08:22Speaker 10: assists in those three. Games six of them were primary,
- 2:08:24Speaker 10: assists which means he was the last pass before the goal.
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: BEFORE i let you. Go what are we hearing About
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: kooley's recovery and the.
- 2:08:32Speaker 10: PACE'SON i think it stays where it's been right around
- 2:08:35Speaker 10: The olympic, Break Bill armstrong saying it could be maybe
- 2:08:39Speaker 10: a little, before maybe right, after but.
- 2:08:45Speaker 3: It's something to look forward.
- 2:08:46Speaker 10: To and now you're Without Alexander, kerfoot who's week to
- 2:08:50Speaker 10: week with an upper body, injury so you're losing a,
- 2:08:53Speaker 10: centerman a penalty killer from the.
- 2:08:54Speaker 3: Lineup The mammoth have depth and.
- 2:08:56Speaker 10: They've been able to roll through With, kooley but when
- 2:08:59Speaker 10: you had a guy, back it's like you just made
- 2:09:02Speaker 10: a trade for a star player like.
- 2:09:04Speaker 3: That so, excited.
- 2:09:06Speaker 10: Excited we have to feel like we're past the halfway
- 2:09:10Speaker 10: point of The koli.
- 2:09:11Speaker 3: Injury.
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: Here that Is Adrian.

- 2:11:13Speaker 3: yourself back in the body of your high school. Self

- 2:11:26Speaker 3: Sucks you're gonna hate. That let's not even watch the.
- 2:11:30Speaker 3: Film let's just put it behind. Us week, two seven days,
- 2:11:35Speaker 3: later you lose fifty to. Zero oh, boy, guys we've
- 2:11:43Speaker 3: now been outscored one hundred and nine to zero in

- 2:12:08Speaker 3: zero sixty nine to, zero forty six to, zero forty
- 2:12:11Speaker 3: two to, zero forty two to, zero and you finish
- 2:12:14Speaker 3: the season with your worst loss of all against the
- 2:12:17Speaker 3: cross town, rival seventy two to. Zero there is nothing
- 2:12:24Speaker 3: that can bring you back from. That that is going
- 2:12:27Speaker 3: to affect your whole life as a high school. Kid you're,
- 2:12:34Speaker 3: like you are unhirable, now whatever you learn to lose
- 2:12:40Speaker 3: so aggressively that you now are separated from. Success in
- 2:12:45Speaker 3: such a, manner you can't be good at anything or
- 2:12:49Speaker 3: or it's the. Adversity it's the extreme. Adversity you need
- 2:12:55Speaker 3: to motivate you the rest of your, life and you
- 2:12:57Speaker 3: are incredible at whatever you end up. DOING i appreciate that.
- 2:13:00Speaker 3: Positivity probably not. FOOTBALL i appreciate that, Positivity. James but
- 2:13:05Speaker 3: maybe you're the greatest sales rep at whatever place you
- 2:13:09Speaker 3: end up. Working another competitive. Arena how about how about this?
- 2:13:14Speaker 3: Football how about this you're a coach, there you know
- 2:13:17Speaker 3: that your job is. Gone right if you, haven't if
- 2:13:20Speaker 3: you haven't been fired by week, four you should have been.
- 2:13:24Speaker 3: Right maybe the school is in a situation where they
- 2:13:27Speaker 3: can't do. That so level you did you look up
- 2:13:32Speaker 3: what level this is In North? Carolina is this a
- 2:13:34Speaker 3: lower level or the highest? LEVEL i have to look it.
- 2:13:37Speaker 3: UP i can look it. Up you Finished High Point.
- 2:13:39Speaker 3: Central but imagine being the principal of the, university the athletic,
- 2:13:44Speaker 3: director not, university the high, school the principal at the high,
- 2:13:47Speaker 3: school the athletic director at the high, school the driver's head.
- 2:13:51Speaker 3: Teacher that is also probably the tight ends coach or
- 2:13:53Speaker 3: something like, that maybe the head, coach and you're just,
- 2:13:56Speaker 3: like what's the solution to? This how do we make
- 2:13:59Speaker 3: sure this never happens to us? Again and the solution
- 2:14:04Speaker 3: that you come up with the only one that's workable
- 2:14:06Speaker 3: is let's just not play football. Anymore let's just be.
- 2:14:08Speaker 3: Done let's not do that next. YEAR i feel so
- 2:14:14Speaker 3: sad for this high school and so sad for these.
- 2:14:16Speaker 3: Kids why High Point Central High. School that means there
- 2:14:25Speaker 3: is a mercy. Rule, okay there is a mercy rule
- 2:14:29Speaker 3: in high school, football well at least In, utah maybe
- 2:14:31Speaker 3: Not North. Carolina that means you're on a running clock
- 2:14:38Speaker 3: for the second half of every one of these. Games
- 2:14:43Speaker 3: they're not even stopping the clock when people go out of.
- 2:14:45Speaker 3: Bounds they're not even blowing whistles while they're blowing whistles
- 2:14:48Speaker 3: to stop, play but it doesn't stop the, clock putting
- 2:14:54Speaker 3: a pause on varsity. FOOTBALL i have a, solution High
- 2:14:58Speaker 3: Point Central High. School here's what you, do all, Right
- 2:15:06Speaker 3: you make a phone call to a fifty three year
