3:04
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a great Friday on the show today.
3:05
Speaker 1: We have got, as I said, a lot to talk about.
3:08
Speaker 1: We have an elimination game in Stanley Cup playoff hockey
3:11
Speaker 1: here in Salt Lake City. When I was doing this
3:14
Speaker 1: show on a regular basis, we didn't even have hockey
3:17
Speaker 1: to talk about. And now we've got playoff hockey and
3:20
Speaker 1: we have elimination game hockey to talk about tonight. That's
3:24
Speaker 1: right downtown at the Delta Center at eight o'clock tonight,
3:29
Speaker 1: the Mammoth try to keep their season alive against the
3:32
Speaker 1: Vegas Golden Knights. ESPN will have the broadcast. We are
3:35
Speaker 1: going to talk about that game tonight with my good
3:38
Speaker 1: friend and the voice of the Mammoth, Mike Fulta is
3:42
Speaker 1: going to join us on the program today. We're going
3:43
Speaker 1: to talk to him about what the Mammoth have to
3:46
Speaker 1: do to keep their season alive tonight and hope to
3:49
Speaker 1: advance on to the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
3:52
Speaker 1: So we will talk to him coming up with the
3:54
Speaker 1: program a little bit later on in the show today,
3:57
Speaker 1: probably in the one o'clock hour, we're gonna talk some
3:59
Speaker 1: NBA basketball. The playoffs are in full effect, the draft
4:03
Speaker 1: lotteries a month and a half away. The Sage Man himself,
4:06
Speaker 1: the man who has so much basketball wisdom that would
4:09
Speaker 1: be none other than Gordon Chiesa, will join us on
4:11
Speaker 1: the program today. Gordy, we'll come on board and we'll
4:14
Speaker 1: talk to him about the playoffs, what we've seen so far,
4:17
Speaker 1: what we're expecting, and of course the draft coming up
4:20
Speaker 1: with a Utah Jazz at the end of June. We're
4:23
Speaker 1: gonna talk some college football in the program today. Did
4:25
Speaker 1: you think you were going to get me filling in
4:27
Speaker 1: for Sean on this program and we were not going
4:29
Speaker 1: to talk some college football. Shame on you. Of course
4:32
Speaker 1: we're going to talk some college football. The last time
4:34
Speaker 1: we spoke a few weeks ago, Utah was still doing
4:38
Speaker 1: spring football practice. Well, they're done with spring football practice now,
4:42
Speaker 1: and we're going to wrap up spring football with some
4:44
Speaker 1: thoughts and observations from yours truly, the Voice of the Utes.
4:48
Speaker 1: And then I've got for you a tier ranking of
4:52
Speaker 1: the Big Twelve now that spring football is coming gone.
4:56
Speaker 1: Everybody loves to do those way too early, top twenty
4:59
Speaker 1: five rankings, and those are fun, but I'm not ready
5:02
Speaker 1: to do that yet. Maybe we do that a little
5:04
Speaker 1: bit later on this summer. But what we will do
5:08
Speaker 1: is kind of power rank by tier the Big Twelve Conference.
5:13
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna rank them one through sixteen. I'm not
5:15
Speaker 1: gonna do that, but I am gonna put these teams
5:18
Speaker 1: in tiers because I don't know that we can go
5:21
Speaker 1: and be really fair and accurate about things go one
5:23
Speaker 1: through sixteen on the power rankings right now. But what
5:26
Speaker 1: I've done is I've grouped the Big Twelve conference in
5:29
Speaker 1: football into some tiers, and I'm gonna share that with
5:32
Speaker 1: you on the program today, And you guys can feel
5:35
Speaker 1: free to interact with me if you'd like to. By
5:36
Speaker 1: the way, just so you know, I miss talking to
5:39
Speaker 1: you on a regular basis. I love the fact that
5:41
Speaker 1: many of you tune into my podcast, The Crimson Corner.
5:45
Speaker 1: And if you have not downloaded or listened to this
5:47
Speaker 1: week's edition of The Crimson Corner podcast, I have none
5:51
Speaker 1: other than Morgan Scaley as a guest on this week's
5:54
Speaker 1: edition of The Crimson Corner podcast, So go listen to it.
5:57
Speaker 1: But I love the fact that you guys tune in
5:59
Speaker 1: and make me part of your week on The Crimson Corner.
6:01
Speaker 1: But I like to hear from you on the text
6:03
Speaker 1: line as well. Good interaction on the text line is
6:07
Speaker 1: always welcome on the program. So send me a thought,
6:10
Speaker 1: send me opinion, send me a question, whatever it might
6:12
Speaker 1: happen to be by texting me at eight eight eight
6:16
Speaker 1: seven seven three five three zero seven hundred. That's again
6:20
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three five three zero seven hundred, and
6:24
Speaker 1: we'll welcome your questions, comments, thoughts, and opinions on whatever
6:27
Speaker 1: may be on your mind, whether it's NHL Stanley Cup
6:30
Speaker 1: playoff hockey, whether it's the uts in spring football, whether
6:34
Speaker 1: it's the rebuild of Running You basketball, whether it's the
6:37
Speaker 1: NBA off season, the NFL Draft that wrapped up last weekend.
6:41
Speaker 1: I was happy to see a bunch of guys I
6:43
Speaker 1: know very well get their opportunity to play in the
6:46
Speaker 1: National Football League. So we'll talk about that today as well.
6:49
Speaker 1: All of that. Oh and I've got a college football
6:50
Speaker 1: guest coming on today as well. Adam Rittenberg is going
6:53
Speaker 1: to join us from ESPN dot Com. Adam covers college
6:56
Speaker 1: football a lot of Big ten stuff for Adam, but
6:58
Speaker 1: he's been on kind of a Chris crossing the country
7:01
Speaker 1: tour of checking in on different college football programs this spring.
7:06
Speaker 1: And one of the programs Adam checked in on was
7:09
Speaker 1: the University of Utah. And so we're gonna talk to
7:11
Speaker 1: Adam a little bit about what he observed when he
7:13
Speaker 1: was here watching Morgan Scalley's team for a day, and
7:16
Speaker 1: we'll talk some Big twelve stuff and want to get
7:19
Speaker 1: his thoughts on you know, we had some news earlier
7:22
Speaker 1: this week, which is unfortunate but it's kind of where
7:24
Speaker 1: we are today. But the news of Brendan Sowarsby, the
7:28
Speaker 1: quarterback for Texas Tech. He's I guess the term would
7:32
Speaker 1: be indefinitely suspended. He's taken a lead from the program.
7:37
Speaker 1: He placed a lot of bets on his team, not
7:40
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, obviously. He's just joined that program, and I'm
7:42
Speaker 1: not even sure Cincinnati, but he began his career at Indiana,
7:46
Speaker 1: and they've got evidence of lots and lots and lots
7:50
Speaker 1: of bets that Brendan Sorosby placed over the years, and
7:55
Speaker 1: many of those were on the program that he played for,
7:58
Speaker 1: which gambling and general as a collegiate athlete on collegiate
8:02
Speaker 1: athletics is a no no. But on your own team
8:05
Speaker 1: is maybe the kiss of death. And nobody quite knows
8:08
Speaker 1: what the situation is going to be there, But how
8:10
Speaker 1: would hit that situation, you know, change the hierarchy or
8:15
Speaker 1: change the landscape of the Big twelve. So we can
8:17
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that with Adam Rittenberg and
8:19
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on that as well. And of course,
8:22
Speaker 1: again lots to talk about today. In anything that you
8:24
Speaker 1: guys want to talk about, you can bring it up
8:26
Speaker 1: on the text line at eight seven seven three five
8:28
Speaker 1: three zero seven hundred. Again that's eight seven seven three
8:31
Speaker 1: five three zero seven hundred. Is we broadcast live today
8:34
Speaker 1: from Advanced Window Products And again they're celebrating their forty

9:53

10:12
Speaker 1: me up with a text line eight seven seven three
10:14
Speaker 1: five three zero seven hundred. We've got guests coming up,
10:17

10:31
Speaker 1: it's just great to be with you guys and chatting
10:34
Speaker 1: with you today and being able to fit things in here.
10:36
Speaker 1: I appreciate Sean and Jackie and James having faith in
10:40
Speaker 1: me to come in and pinch hit after a couple
10:42
Speaker 1: of years away. And I appreciate my bosses being being
10:46
Speaker 1: kind enough to let me come in and do this
10:49
Speaker 1: a couple of times a month. We'll do it throughout
10:50
Speaker 1: the summer as well, and just kind of have a
10:52
Speaker 1: good time with it. I am, in many ways jealous
10:58
Speaker 1: of the fact that Sewn and Spence every day have
11:02
Speaker 1: more content to talk about than I had to talk
11:05
Speaker 1: about over my career doing sports talk radio here. And
11:09
Speaker 1: one of the big content creators for them and for
11:12
Speaker 1: everybody in this market and for you guys too, has
11:15
Speaker 1: been hockey. We were just on the precipice of getting
11:20
Speaker 1: the team, and they had been announced, but they weren't
11:22
Speaker 1: boots on the ground when I left, almost been by
11:25
Speaker 1: the way, it's been almost two years, two years next
11:27
Speaker 1: month since we're now at May first, but the Mammoth,
11:31
Speaker 1: and I didn't have any doubt that the market would
11:35
Speaker 1: support the Utah Mammoth. This is a great sports town
11:40
Speaker 1: and great sports market, and hockey is such a great product.
11:45
Speaker 1: It just is. You cannot whether you're a hockey fan
11:49
Speaker 1: or not, You can't go to a game at the
11:51
Speaker 1: Delta Center or turn on a hockey game and not
11:54
Speaker 1: be entertained. They're great dudes. The product is unbelievable. It
11:58
Speaker 1: moves fast, all of it. It's fantastic. And last year
12:04
Speaker 1: they had a solid year. They just missed the playoffs
12:07
Speaker 1: a year ago, but then they had a good off
12:10
Speaker 1: season in free agency and draft and everything, and now
12:14
Speaker 1: we see where they are. They're in the playoffs now,
12:16
Speaker 1: I know they're on the brink of elimination, down three
12:18
Speaker 1: to two, and tonight could be the final game of
12:21
Speaker 1: the season for the Utah Mammoth. But it's been an
12:24
Speaker 1: unbelievable ride in the first almost two seasons that they've
12:28
Speaker 1: been here, and this series with Vegas is outstanding. We
12:33
Speaker 1: have had two last two games have been overtime games,
12:36
Speaker 1: including a double overtime game the other night. Obviously they
12:39
Speaker 1: didn't go Utah's way, but it's been chippy. It's been
12:44
Speaker 1: everything you want playoff hockey to be. And here's the
12:47
Speaker 1: best part of it. This might be I'm not guaranteeing anything.
12:52
Speaker 1: I'm not one of these guys that forces it, unlike
12:54
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve back in the day, because you can't
12:57
Speaker 1: force rivalries. You just you can't do. Ites have to
13:01
Speaker 1: erupt and develop organically. They have to just develop on
13:05
Speaker 1: their own. You can't force a rivalry to happen. Remember
13:08
Speaker 1: back in the Pack twelve Days, the Pac twelve wanted
13:11
Speaker 1: Utah and Colorado in the worst way to be rivals. Well,
13:15
Speaker 1: there was no history there, there were no big games there.
13:19
Speaker 1: You can't just create a rivalry out of nothing. They
13:23
Speaker 1: have to be developed on the court, on the field,
13:25
Speaker 1: on the ice, whatever it might happen to be. And
13:29
Speaker 1: I said before this series, I said, depending on how
13:32
Speaker 1: things play in this series, this could be the start
13:36
Speaker 1: of a nice rivalry. The Golden Knights are not a
13:39
Speaker 1: team that's been around for decades and years, and they've
13:43
Speaker 1: been around for a small amount of time and they've
13:46
Speaker 1: been very successful that organization, the way they've run it
13:49
Speaker 1: and done things has been fantastic, But they don't have
13:53
Speaker 1: a great history. I wouldn't say they probably have a
13:56
Speaker 1: rival yet, but I think this could be the start
14:02
Speaker 1: of it, especially if this thing goes seven games. So
14:06
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that. But tonight and we'll talk to
14:10
Speaker 1: Mike Folto about this. A great start would be ideal.
14:18
Speaker 1: Three leads. The Mammoth hab get away from them the
14:21
Speaker 1: last two games. You cannot blow leads, especially at home,
14:26
Speaker 1: but they've blown two third period four three leads and
14:30
Speaker 1: as a result, they find themselves now down in this
14:32
Speaker 1: series three games to two. The home ice advantage that's
14:41
Speaker 1: already been created at the Delta Center has been terrific.
14:44
Speaker 1: Steve Leevy was talking about it on ESPN the other night,
14:49
Speaker 1: So I really believe this thing is going to go
14:51
Speaker 1: seven and go back to Vegas this weekend. I don't
14:53
Speaker 1: know how you guys feel about it, but here's my
14:56
Speaker 1: question for you guys, and I you know, for me,
15:00
Speaker 1: I've gone to a number of games. I love going
15:03
Speaker 1: and watching the Mammoth play. I think the Inn stadium
15:07
Speaker 1: in Arena vibe is fantastic. I think the presentation is
15:12
Speaker 1: outstanding too. But are you guys as sports fans into this,
15:17
Speaker 1: because I know this market is not watching the NBA playoffs.
15:21
Speaker 1: You're just not. I've said this for the twenty five
15:23
Speaker 1: years I've lived here, and for the twenty three that
15:27
Speaker 1: I was on the air every single day doing sports
15:29
Speaker 1: talk radio. This when the jazz are good, this is
15:32
Speaker 1: a great jazz market. But This is not a great
15:36
Speaker 1: NBA market. I have never found this market. The average
15:40
Speaker 1: sports fan watches a lot of playoff basketball in the NBA.
15:44
Speaker 1: They just don't hardcore, Yeah, but the average sports fan
15:47
Speaker 1: they don't. But I think, and I always got this
15:52
Speaker 1: sense too, that the Stanley Cup playoffs were a little
15:55
Speaker 1: bit different. And now with the Mammoth here in town.
15:58
Speaker 1: So are you guys into this first round, first ever
16:02
Speaker 1: playoff for the Mammoth? Are you watching? It always felt
16:06
Speaker 1: like in the old days, and I say the old
16:08
Speaker 1: days twenty five years ago, whenever the Jazz were in
16:10
Speaker 1: the playoffs, the community was into it. It just always
16:16
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, they had the local news Channel
16:18
Speaker 1: five and Channel two were going out on the road
16:21
Speaker 1: with their anchors and their news people as well as
16:24
Speaker 1: their sports. Everybody was into it. And I'm kind of
16:29
Speaker 1: getting a sense that's where people are now with the Mammoth.
16:32
Speaker 1: But I'd love to hear from you guys on this.
16:34
Speaker 1: Where are you at right now? Are you fully bought in?
16:38
Speaker 1: Are you watching? Where are you with this playoff run
16:42
Speaker 1: with the Utah Mammoth. I'd love to hear from you.
16:45
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three five three zero seven hundred is
16:49
Speaker 1: your is your text line number eight seven seven three
16:52
Speaker 1: five three zero seven hundred to get you in and
16:54
Speaker 1: on board of the text line. Today, I was watching
16:56
Speaker 1: two games last night that were unbelievable. The Minnesota wat
17:00
Speaker 1: eliminating the Dallas Stars, who had the third best record
17:03
Speaker 1: in the NHL this year. Last night in Minneapolis, it
17:06
Speaker 1: was phenomenal. I have no buy in whatsoever with Dallas
17:11
Speaker 1: or Minnesota, but every rush up the ice, every pass,
17:16
Speaker 1: every check, every shot felt important. And that's what the
17:20
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup playoffs do. I'm not sure Baseball to me,
17:26
Speaker 1: is the only thing that's comparable from a playoff standpoint,
17:30
Speaker 1: where it feels like every single play is important. Even
17:33
Speaker 1: in an NFL playoff game doesn't have that, even though
17:36
Speaker 1: those are one off elimination games and these are series baseball, hockey, basketball,
17:43
Speaker 1: everything just feels more heightened and more important in the postseason.
17:47
Speaker 1: And watching those games last night, like I said, I
17:49
Speaker 1: had no rooting interest in that or the Anaheim Edmonton series,
17:54
Speaker 1: but they were amazing, and that's the vibe I'm getting
17:58
Speaker 1: watching the games. I haven't been to a playoff game
18:00
Speaker 1: in person yet. I went to some regular season but
18:02
Speaker 1: that's the vibe that I get watching these games these
18:07
Speaker 1: whether they're here in Salt Lake City or elsewhere. So
18:10
Speaker 1: just give me a feel. Hit me up with the text,
18:12
Speaker 1: Lin and let me know where are you at right now?
18:15
Speaker 1: Our market is different now than it used to be.
18:18
Speaker 1: We were kind of that one horse town for so
18:20
Speaker 1: many years with the jazz and only the jazz, and
18:23
Speaker 1: then real came in and then Utah and BYU just
18:26
Speaker 1: blew up more than they ever had. But where are
18:30
Speaker 1: you with this mammoth playoff run right now? I'm fully in.
18:35
Speaker 1: I just I just like I said, I just enjoyed
18:39
Speaker 1: every single second of it since these guys have come
18:41
Speaker 1: to town. I really have. So let me know where
18:45
Speaker 1: you guys are at eight seven seven three five three
18:47
Speaker 1: zero seven hundred as we broadcast live today at Advanced

Speaker 1: Window upgrade event. We'll probably talk to natean Jake as
18:58
Speaker 1: we go here this one in. Matt says Bill, I
19:01
Speaker 1: have been hardcore into hockey since the Olympics break. Okay,
19:07
Speaker 1: that's great. Whether you're fully bought in then or all
19:11
Speaker 1: the way, that's fantastic. And sometimes it takes something like
19:14
Speaker 1: that sometimes it takes something like the Olympics to kind
19:19
Speaker 1: of catch people's attention and really get them into it.
19:23
Speaker 1: Textra thirty four to ninety four says, hey Bill been
19:26
Speaker 1: tracking the Mammoth, but also checking in on every Laker
19:29
Speaker 1: game because you never know when the last Lebron game
19:32
Speaker 1: is gonna be. I'm also watching the Spurs because when
19:34
Speaker 1: Ben Yama, he's must see, Yeah he is. I gotta say,
19:39
Speaker 1: I mean I've never I mean when the Jazz were
19:43
Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, But NBA playoffs, I check in on
19:46
Speaker 1: them till we get a couple of rounds in. But
19:51
Speaker 1: the NHL fully in on This one comes in from
19:55
Speaker 1: Will hey Bill totally into the Mammoth. Me and the
19:59
Speaker 1: fellas are going to the game tonight. Gonna be great,
20:00
Speaker 1: Let's go. How great is that atmosphere gonna be downtown tonight?
20:05
Speaker 1: Just think about this for a minute. It's an elimination game.
20:10
Speaker 1: When was the last time we had a meaningful elimination
20:13
Speaker 1: game played at the Delta Center? Five years ago, six
20:17
Speaker 1: years ago, seven years ago? Maybe with the Jazz. This
20:22
Speaker 1: is going to be fantastic. And I was looking last
20:26
Speaker 1: night at some ticket prices for tonight's game on the
20:29
Speaker 1: secondary market. Who man, will I hope you had your
20:33
Speaker 1: tickets already, because if not, you are paying a pretty
20:36
Speaker 1: penny for a ticket downtown tonight. This one comes in
20:40
Speaker 1: from Kevin. Hey, Kevin, great to hear from you. I'm
20:43
Speaker 1: fully bought in, says Kevin. Playoff hockey is absolutely the
20:46
Speaker 1: best playoffs in my opinion, I had no idea I'd
20:50
Speaker 1: love it so much. It's great, right, it's great. I
20:55
Speaker 1: honestly I believe, and I love the NFL is king,
21:00
Speaker 1: But Game six is games Haven, the elimination games in
21:04
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup and in Major League Baseball. There's nothing
21:09
Speaker 1: like them, man, there's nothing like them. This deck's in
21:16
Speaker 1: from Sam today. Sam says Bill, looking forward to three
21:18
Speaker 1: hours of sports talk radio with you today. Which Utah
21:21
Speaker 1: football road destination you're most excited to go and call
21:24
Speaker 1: the game at this upcoming season? This upcoming season road
21:28
Speaker 1: game for me, I've never called the game at Knippert
21:34
Speaker 1: Stadium in Cincinnati, and I've got a lot of family
21:37
Speaker 1: and friends in Cincinnati, so I would probably say Nippert
21:41
Speaker 1: this year. As far as a road conference game for me,
21:44
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no road non conference games for Utah.
21:46
Speaker 1: They've got three home games this year. They've got Arkansas,
21:49
Speaker 1: Utah State, and Idaho other road. I mean, I've been
21:52
Speaker 1: to Arizona. That'll be a good game. I mean, don't
21:54
Speaker 1: get me wrong, that's gonna be a good game. But
21:56
Speaker 1: I've been to Arizona a bunch of times, you know,
21:59
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot. I've been everywhere that we're going,
22:02
Speaker 1: but I have never caught been. I've been to Cincinnati,
22:04
Speaker 1: my faan. I've got a lot of extended family in Cincinnati,
22:07
Speaker 1: and I've been there for basketball, but I haven't been
22:10
Speaker 1: there to call a football game yet. Sam, So I
22:12
Speaker 1: would say that one, and I would tell you this
22:14
Speaker 1: Utah fans, and I know a lot of you guys
22:16
Speaker 1: make trips throughout the year. If you if you get
22:19
Speaker 1: a plan a trip this year, Cincinnati is an underrated place.
22:22
Speaker 1: A lot of good eating, a lot of good bars
22:25
Speaker 1: and restaurants and all of that stuff. It may not
22:27
Speaker 1: be a bad spot. And for us here it's pretty
22:31
Speaker 1: easy to get to. Derek sends this text message and
22:34
Speaker 1: he says, Hey, Bill, good to hear you on the
22:36
Speaker 1: show again. I'm not sure how much hockey you knowledge?
22:39
Speaker 1: How much how hockey? How much hockey you are knowledgeable of.
22:45
Speaker 1: But it is. But if it is indeed the end
22:47
Speaker 1: of the McDavid era in Edmonton, how hard does Ryan
22:51
Speaker 1: Smith and the Mammoth management push to get him to Utah?
22:56
Speaker 1: I don't know the Mammoth front office strategy as well
23:06
Speaker 1: as maybe some do. I mean maybe, I just I
23:08
Speaker 1: don't know that. I would be surprised if this is
23:12
Speaker 1: the end of the line in Edmonton for Connor McDavid,
23:17
Speaker 1: just simply because he is so beloved there and he
23:21
Speaker 1: is their franchise. I think they would try to do
23:23
Speaker 1: everything possible to get him there. But Connor McDavid, if
23:27
Speaker 1: you were to hit the market and go elsewhere, would
23:30
Speaker 1: be the most sought after player. I can't even remember
23:33
Speaker 1: the last I mean, he's he's on the short list,
23:36
Speaker 1: he's on the current probably mount rushmore of players in
23:39
Speaker 1: the NHL. So but yeah, if you're the Mammoth, sure
23:44
Speaker 1: make a run at him. I think everybody's going to
23:46
Speaker 1: try to make a run at him. All right, one
23:49
Speaker 1: more text message then we'll bring on. Bring on my
23:53
Speaker 1: boy Jake to come up here and talk for just
23:55
Speaker 1: a second. This text comes in, says Bill, I've been
24:00
Speaker 1: in since the four country competition that they do. Where
24:04
Speaker 1: are those brothers? They kept starting the fights with a
24:07
Speaker 1: Canadian team. I've been all in for this. It's been amazing.
24:14
Speaker 1: It's great. I'm just telling you, I knew hockey would
24:17
Speaker 1: be a success when it got here, and it has
24:19
Speaker 1: been that and then some. So keep those text messages
24:23
Speaker 1: coming in. I'm just and I would love to hear
24:25
Speaker 1: from some of you that weren't necessarily hockey fans before
24:29
Speaker 1: and where you are now with that, and maybe how
24:34
Speaker 1: your fandom's grown in the last year. Maybe you went
24:37
Speaker 1: to your first ever hockey game downtown and where you
24:40
Speaker 1: are with that now. So anyway, eight seven seven three
24:44
Speaker 1: five three zero seven hundred gets you in and on
24:47
Speaker 1: board today eight seven seven three five three zero seven
24:50

25:25
Speaker 8: Look, we got our fortieth anniversary.
25:27
Speaker 7: It's amazing.
25:27
Speaker 8: You really think about forty years for company being around, right,
25:30
Speaker 8: it says a lot about what we do, what we've
25:32
Speaker 8: done in the past, and what we're doing now, and
25:34
Speaker 8: then what that means for homeowners as they purchase windows
25:38
Speaker 8: from us.
25:39
Speaker 9: We're not going anywhere.
25:40
Speaker 7: We're gonna be here.

Speaker 8: Our windows, so you're when you're buying peace of mind
25:45

25:47
Speaker 8: other thing we've got going on, we actually just had
25:49
Speaker 8: make a wish was here?
25:51
Speaker 1: I saw that? Yeah, so really cool thing.
25:53
Speaker 8: We granted a wish for six year old where she
25:56
Speaker 8: has just a terminal illness and she wanted to go
25:59
Speaker 8: on a Disney crews So we had her whole family
26:01
Speaker 8: in the building. We had our team up here late
26:04
Speaker 8: last night getting all set up, and we're able to
26:06
Speaker 8: provide that for this little girl. Her family, and you
26:09
Speaker 8: just see like the family like in tears, just emotional.
26:11
Speaker 9: I'm emotional.
26:11
Speaker 8: I'm a right sweet spot in my heart for the
26:14
Speaker 8: little princess.
26:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh hey, by the way, there's nothing wrong
26:17
Speaker 1: with that. There's certain things that you should shed a
26:21
Speaker 1: tier at and that's one of And.
26:22
Speaker 8: Like the fact that we're able to give back, like
26:24
Speaker 8: we we have been very fortunate, uh just with the
26:27
Speaker 8: business and with what we do, and that we're able
26:29
Speaker 8: to give back to the community. That's something that really
26:32
Speaker 8: that we stand by. Not only are we giving that
26:34
Speaker 8: community by helping homeowners save money every month on those
26:38
Speaker 8: energy bills by replacing their windows, but it's also an
26:40
Speaker 8: opportunity for us to give back just through charity, and
26:43
Speaker 8: we're able to provide change. Like this little six year
26:45
Speaker 8: old like her life, like she's gonna have these memories
26:47
Speaker 8: for the rest of her life, and we're just.
26:49
Speaker 7: Grateful we could be part of that.
26:50
Speaker 1: I thought, for a minute you were gonna tell me
26:51
Speaker 1: her dream and make AWAYE was to watch you guys
26:54
Speaker 1: make windows in the back. That's what the second I
26:56
Speaker 1: was gonna say that is a unique wis that was
26:59
Speaker 1: number two. So have to grant her two wishes today
27:01

27:03
Speaker 1: she's going on a Disney cruise.
27:05
Speaker 7: Yeah.
27:05
Speaker 1: And that's the other thing too, You get everything's done here.
27:08
Speaker 1: You guys aren't farming anything out to another country, to
27:11
Speaker 1: another state. Everything you guys do when somebody has them
27:14
Speaker 1: ordered to their home, it's all done right here in
27:17
Speaker 1: the state.
27:17
Speaker 10: I love bringing my customers down to the showroom and
27:19
Speaker 10: taking them out back on where they can actually see
27:21
Speaker 10: the windows get made. I mean everything comes to us
27:24

Speaker 1: loved the playoffs. I've watched it from Afar and I
30:17
Speaker 1: just having it here and having the play I mean,
30:20
Speaker 1: last year was cool. It was the new car smell
30:21
Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, but they're they're legit good this year,
30:24
Speaker 1: and they are. It's fun whether you're down there watching
30:27
Speaker 1: it on tea, it's blast.
30:28
Speaker 8: It's a vibe all around, like watching it being there
30:30
Speaker 8: in person, watching on TV like there's a passion behind it.
30:33
Speaker 8: And it's fun for Utah, fun for Salt Lake to

31:07
Speaker 1: you're on ESPN seven hundred and ninety two to one FM.
31:13
Speaker 7: Peace out.
31:14
Speaker 1: Let's get the latest on the Utah.
31:16
Speaker 3: Jazz with former Jazz assistant coach Gordon Chiasa. He's forgotten
31:19
Speaker 3: more about the NBA than any of us will ever know.
31:22
Speaker 1: Let's not get crazy.
31:23
Speaker 7: Come for the.
31:24
Speaker 1: Hoops talk, stay for his list of the day. My
31:27
Speaker 1: list today. Here's oc with.
31:29
Speaker 3: Basketball sabb on Gordon Chiaysa on the Sean O'Connell Show.
31:34
Speaker 1: One of the requirements I placed on ESPN seven hundred
31:38
Speaker 1: when I agreed to do some filling work for Sean
31:41
Speaker 1: is Gordon Chiayson must join me each and every time
31:46
Speaker 1: I do this. So he was kind enough to make
31:48
Speaker 1: a few minutes out of his day today to talk
31:50
Speaker 1: to NBA Basketball Gordy. I love you, dog. However, how
31:54
Speaker 1: are things.
31:56
Speaker 6: It's going well, very similar to to last night. Spill
32:00
Speaker 6: the tea Wolves.
32:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were good last night. They finished off Jokic
32:05
Speaker 1: in the Nuggets last night. Jokic is catching a lot
32:08
Speaker 1: of grief from people here. People are giving him a
32:10
Speaker 1: lot of grief for not being able to beat a
32:13
Speaker 1: depleted t Wolves team basically by himself. Is that criticism
32:17
Speaker 1: of Jokic warranted, Not at all.
32:20
Speaker 6: No, it's his teammates. Jokic's battled. You mean, there's so
32:23
Speaker 6: much pressure for him to make literally with every play
32:27
Speaker 6: for his team, and they really go there. Who's a
32:30
Speaker 6: tremendous defensive player. His sole purpose in the series of
32:34
Speaker 6: six games was the attempt to slow down Jogic and
32:38
Speaker 6: make him go into a second or third year to
32:40
Speaker 6: be able to score the ball efficiently or rebound and
32:43
Speaker 6: read did his job, and he wore out. Jokic not
32:47
Speaker 6: based on skills, just based on just the tenacity of it.
32:51
Speaker 6: So it's more than Nuggets, their teammates Jokic. They struggled
32:56
Speaker 6: the whole series and in game six, who would have
32:58
Speaker 6: thought this spill that Terrence Shannon would outplay Jamal Murray.
33:02
Speaker 6: So Murray goes four to seventeen an elimination game, and
33:05
Speaker 6: Terrence Shannon, the twenty seventh pick of the draft back
33:08
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four, he goes to twenty four points
33:12
Speaker 6: and that was a one for the lifetime for him.
33:14
Speaker 1: What were the Nuggets missing Gordon? I mean, there was
33:16
Speaker 1: clearly a good team, but what were they missing? Health
33:19
Speaker 1: for Aaron Aaron Gordon? What else were they missing?
33:22
Speaker 6: Well, they're missing and Aaron Gordon as far as rebounding.
33:26
Speaker 6: So last night's game, an elimination game six, the t
33:30
Speaker 6: Rules out rebounded the Nuggets fifty to through thirty three
33:35
Speaker 6: plus seventeen. Now the flip side is that, remember Anthony
33:39
Speaker 6: Edwards wasn't there. They're also performer either either was either
33:43
Speaker 6: was the sumo who played great for them as far
33:46
Speaker 6: as they're off the bench for them, and so the
33:49
Speaker 6: other guys missing and that's it was all part of
33:51
Speaker 6: the game where they were missing where there was any
33:56
Speaker 6: of the players that stepped up for the Nuggets to overachieve.
33:59
Speaker 6: And now the difference, you know, that's the thiget. Also
34:01
Speaker 6: they play without the Vincento, so they're both teams had
34:05
Speaker 6: guys missing, and that's playoff basketball. Now. The big question
34:08
Speaker 6: for Nuggets bill off season. What do they do now?
34:12
Speaker 6: And they have to make some changes?
34:14
Speaker 1: What what what would those changes be for you, Gordie,
34:17
Speaker 1: if you were sitting down with the front office, if
34:19
Speaker 1: you were on that staff, where would you begin with Denver?
34:22
Speaker 1: What what do they need to do to get better
34:23
Speaker 1: or to get back to where they were.
34:25
Speaker 6: They've got to get another big man. Velachunis didn't play
34:29
Speaker 6: well the whole season, so they have to give Jokic
34:33
Speaker 6: a really a good backup that can help him when
34:37
Speaker 6: he's in foul trouble or when he's out of the game.
34:40
Speaker 6: They don't lose so much as far as rhythm and expertise,
34:45
Speaker 6: so they've got to try to get a better backup
34:48
Speaker 6: center to help Jokic and also generally speaking, more speed
34:52
Speaker 6: that the Fules who were much quicker down the floor.
34:56
Speaker 6: And his series and it wasn't one game with all
34:58
Speaker 6: six games, and I get the t Wolves credit because
35:01
Speaker 6: not again, they've been back to back years Bill in
35:04
Speaker 6: the conference me in the final four in the NBA
35:07
Speaker 6: where they lost in the conference finals two consecutive years.
35:10
Speaker 6: So they're saying that maybe maybe this time it's our year. Now,
35:14
Speaker 6: try to get an upset as you get there.
35:17
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's the case. But what do you think?
35:22
Speaker 6: Well, I think they're playing well. They're playing as a unit,
35:25
Speaker 6: and anytime anytime you have guys that play good defense,
35:29
Speaker 6: you have a chance to win. So I think they're
35:31
Speaker 6: going to fall short. But I do like their team,
35:34
Speaker 6: and the coaching is good. Chris Finch is a really
35:37
Speaker 6: tremendous Coach's underrated, very similar to Nick Nurse. Both these
35:41
Speaker 6: guys coach in the G League a decade ago, and
35:45
Speaker 6: so they're crafty and they don't let things bother them
35:48
Speaker 6: to their credit, and so they have that right personality
35:53
Speaker 6: to direct their team. So I do like the t
35:55
Speaker 6: Wolves to advance. But I do like also now that
35:58
Speaker 6: the Thunder they're going to know they're brilliance because of
36:02
Speaker 6: the all around play.
36:03
Speaker 1: Can I use a gordianism right here? As we change subjects?
36:05
Speaker 1: Real fast. Yeah, sure, Gordy, you can't make this stuff up.
36:10
Speaker 1: You can't make this stuff up. The Knicks were up
36:12
Speaker 1: forty seven at halftime last night. You can't make this
36:15
Speaker 1: stuff up very much.
36:17
Speaker 6: I said it often, especially in during team practice. The
36:20
Speaker 6: things I've seen and team practice.
36:22
Speaker 7: Over the years.
36:22
Speaker 6: Or or Bill above sea level thirty five thousand feet
36:26
Speaker 6: and a plane at three o'clock in the morning, the
36:28
Speaker 6: things I've seen. All right. With that said, though you
36:32
Speaker 6: can't make it up, Bill, You're right. I never would
36:34
Speaker 6: have thought. Again, this is game six, like you have
36:38
Speaker 6: to know there's a finish line here. And for the
36:42
Speaker 6: thought of eighty three points allowed in the first half
36:45
Speaker 6: by the Atlanta Hawks, you can't imagine it. And so
36:50
Speaker 6: we all saw it. And the Hawks, again, they had
36:53
Speaker 6: some good moments during the year where they got punched
36:56
Speaker 6: in the face by the Knicks. It's add to that
36:58
Speaker 6: the Knicks are tired of being a punching bag themselves
37:01
Speaker 6: where they can't do anything right as far as people,
37:04
Speaker 6: as far in the NBA where the Knick to this,
37:07
Speaker 6: all the things Nicks don't do well, people keep pointing out,
37:11
Speaker 6: and to their credit, the answer to the call and
37:13
Speaker 6: they they are answering to the second round right now.
37:15
Speaker 6: Good for them.
37:16
Speaker 1: Gordon Chiayza with us here on the Shado O'Connell Show
37:18
Speaker 1: today Bill Riley filling in for Sean. He'll join us
37:21
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show. Today. We've
37:25
Speaker 1: got to get some interesting storyline, some more. Game six
37:29
Speaker 1: is tonight, got a Game seven. Let's start with the
37:31
Speaker 1: game seven. First. You've got the Sixers and the Celtics
37:35
Speaker 1: heading into a Game seven. I know you were really
37:37
Speaker 1: high on Boston before these playoffs began, but the Sixers
37:41
Speaker 1: have pushed the Celtics here. What's your read on Game
37:44
Speaker 1: seven coming up?
37:47
Speaker 6: It's going to be an absolutely incredible intense game, all right,
37:52
Speaker 6: to hit the map of it. The home team wins
37:55
Speaker 6: Game seven seventy four point two percent of the time.
38:00
Speaker 6: The Celtics were in Game seven at home, however, was
38:03
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three, which is basically recent and they lost
38:07
Speaker 6: to the Heat. So many of their star players Ben
38:10
Speaker 6: Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown and to Peyton Pritchett, they
38:14
Speaker 6: were there during that. So that's all part of the
38:16
Speaker 6: mental focus of trying to get a win at Game seven.
38:22
Speaker 6: The flip side is the seventy sixers. They don't like.
38:26
Speaker 6: That's the arch tribal for the last seventy years for
38:29
Speaker 6: Walston Celtics. They don't like each other, which is perfectly
38:32
Speaker 6: in the northeast of Carda. The last time the seventy
38:36
Speaker 6: six is when a game seven Bill was when you
38:39
Speaker 6: were in college, and I know, Bill, this is this
38:41
Speaker 6: is a filmily show, so I didn't mention anything else
38:43
Speaker 6: after that Bill was two thousand and one, all right,
38:47
Speaker 6: where it was twenty five years ago where they beat
38:51
Speaker 6: the Raptors in Game seven led by Alan Iverson. So
38:55
Speaker 6: that's how long it goes for them, all right. Trese
38:57
Speaker 6: Maxi tremendous has played great in the series. Jeorl Embiid
39:02
Speaker 6: played the last three games. He's been a difference maker
39:05
Speaker 6: twenty six points per game, eight rebounds and seven point
39:08
Speaker 6: three assists. When he leaves the team, and Paul George
39:12
Speaker 6: he only played this year thirty seven games, so he
39:15
Speaker 6: missed forty five. But now he's healthy and he's been
39:20
Speaker 6: tremendous for them as far as impactful, just quickly averaging
39:24
Speaker 6: eighteen point two points per game, fifty four point three
39:28
Speaker 6: from threes, which includes nineteen out of thirty five attempts,
39:33
Speaker 6: so that's been a difference maker. But a Celts Derek White,
39:36
Speaker 6: who we all like, has struggles a whole series. He's
39:39
Speaker 6: only shooting thirty percent from the field. He's trying to
39:42
Speaker 6: chase around Terse Maxi. So it's interesting the matchups where
39:46
Speaker 6: well White is a really good all around player, defensive minded,
39:51
Speaker 6: he can't snow down Maxi now suspecting the outfense. And
39:54
Speaker 6: Peyton Pritchard, who's a reliable three point shooter, is only
39:58
Speaker 6: shooting in this series threes thirty one percent and so hit.
40:02
Speaker 6: The question right now is can the Celts, who live
40:05
Speaker 6: on live and die by the three? Can they make
40:08
Speaker 6: him at home? Can they got to reach Maxi? And
40:11
Speaker 6: can Nick Russevich and Cater from Utah State? Can they
40:15
Speaker 6: put a body on an mbat and try to slow
40:18
Speaker 6: them down? Besides scoring but his passing. So it's going
40:21
Speaker 6: to be a fascinating game build tomorrow night and I
40:24
Speaker 6: can't wait. I quickly built the Utah Jazz fans. The
40:29
Speaker 6: last time the Jazz played in the Game seven was
40:32
Speaker 6: back in the Bubble in September of twenty twenty. That's
40:36
Speaker 6: when the Jazz lost ironically to the Devin Nuggets by
40:39
Speaker 6: two points. The Jazz have been in six game seventh
40:43
Speaker 6: in their history. They're like coaching two of them. And
40:47
Speaker 6: there's nothing like game seven.
40:49
Speaker 1: What what was your record in those two games, Gordy?
40:51
Speaker 1: In those two game sevens, it was.
40:53
Speaker 6: One and one. We beat the Nuggets in ninety four
40:57
Speaker 6: ninety one eighty one at home. Then we lost the
41:00
Speaker 6: Sonics to get to the NBA Finals. In nineteen ninety six,
41:04
Speaker 6: we lost ninety to eighty six when for some bizarre reason,
41:08
Speaker 6: Drake Forster on the last two possessions switched switched out
41:12
Speaker 6: on Sewan Kemp instead of call guarding him, and he
41:14
Speaker 6: felled Kemp back to back possessions and Kemp made fourth
41:18
Speaker 6: ree throws. We missed, We missed the open shot would
41:21
Speaker 6: have tied it, and we had to found the web,
41:23
Speaker 6: had to foul Kemp. So it just shows you it's
41:26
Speaker 6: all fractional and Bill, and speaking of game seven, we
41:29
Speaker 6: have to add this one on the goodest Bill, this one.
41:32
Speaker 6: It's hard to imagine that it happens. Bill Russell is
41:36
Speaker 6: the greatest ever Game seven performer. He's ten to zero
41:40
Speaker 6: in game sevens. But here is the most unbelievable thing
41:44
Speaker 6: in game sevens. Besides winning all of them, he averaged
41:48
Speaker 6: eighteen point six points per game and twenty nine point
41:51
Speaker 6: three rebounds. And we never know the block shots because
41:54
Speaker 6: they didn't keep it until nineteen seventy four. So Bill
41:57
Speaker 6: Russell is absolutely now rushmore of Game seven.
42:02
Speaker 1: I don't know who would have had more block shots here,
42:04
Speaker 1: Wilt Chamberlain, because they both had a ton, but unfortunately
42:07
Speaker 1: for them, the block shot number, as you said, wasn't
42:10
Speaker 1: kept till the seventies.
42:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's amazing it was not kept. And so it
42:14
Speaker 6: just shows you this game thing called game seven. There's
42:18
Speaker 6: so much pressure on the star players where they've got
42:21
Speaker 6: to be able to make plays at I court, a
42:24
Speaker 6: scoring go out of chaos. The defense is so fierce
42:29
Speaker 6: and the referees let both teams reguard each other with physicality.
42:35
Speaker 6: So the question always says, how can I score as
42:37
Speaker 6: a player through physicality or make plays when they're bumping
42:42
Speaker 6: and grinding me to kick it out to the corner
42:44
Speaker 6: for the rhythm three or drop off in the in
42:47
Speaker 6: the short corner spacing. And those players they know it
42:50
Speaker 6: that they're going to make history, so that whether it's
42:53
Speaker 6: the Philly or whether it's going to be the Celtics,
42:55
Speaker 6: it's gonna be the record books of Game seven, it will
42:58
Speaker 6: be Terse MAXI will be Jason Tatum, which would be
43:01
Speaker 6: a fun story as far as coming off the killers
43:03
Speaker 6: injury last year. It would be some of the unsung
43:05
Speaker 6: hero that has a once in a lifetime game and Bill.
43:08
Speaker 6: That's the beauty of NBA playoffs. You think you know,
43:11
Speaker 6: you know nothing.
43:12
Speaker 1: Speaking of Game sevens, we're talking to Gordy Chiesa here
43:15
Speaker 1: on the Shadow Condall Show today. Which one of these
43:18
Speaker 1: series is most likely to go to Game seven? Detroit, Orlando, Cleveland,
43:23
Speaker 1: Toronto or Los Angeles and Houston? All of them? None
43:28
Speaker 1: of them, one of them, two of them? What do
43:29
Speaker 1: you think?
43:31
Speaker 2: Yes?
43:33
Speaker 6: Yeah, Rockets versus the Lakers is going to go Game
43:36
Speaker 6: seven on Sunday. Okay, Raptors versus the Cavs are going
43:41
Speaker 6: to go Game seven in Cleveland on Sunday and tonight.
43:46
Speaker 6: Also Magic over Magic win tonight to advance to the
43:52
Speaker 6: second round.
43:54
Speaker 1: So Detroit, Detroit does not go. Detroit does not go
43:57
Speaker 1: to Game seven, but the other two series do.
43:59
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah. Despite Franz wagn not being there, again.
44:04
Speaker 6: Franz Wagner University of Michigan is a tremendous talent, scorer, rebounder,
44:11
Speaker 6: kangaroo jumper. He can, he's hurt, but Ben Caro is
44:16
Speaker 6: absolutely so tough to Garden's side, and the flip side
44:19
Speaker 6: is is Kate cunning him? But I do like the
44:22
Speaker 6: Magic at home again, the Magic during the season. People
44:26
Speaker 6: are on them as far as the critics, and they
44:28
Speaker 6: almost didn't make the playoffs. They had to win the
44:31
Speaker 6: second part of the of the playing tournament to qualify
44:34
Speaker 6: and now they now they're going to knock out possibly
44:37
Speaker 6: I believe, knock out the Pistons, the eight seat versus
44:41
Speaker 6: the one. It just shows you that these players are
44:44
Speaker 6: are tired of being criticized and they're going to rally
44:47
Speaker 6: as far as they have to help their franchise move forwards.
44:50
Speaker 6: Exciting time.
44:52
Speaker 1: One more quick thought on one of those series, and
44:54
Speaker 1: I want to get to your list. Gordy Charles was
44:58
Speaker 1: talking the other night about him. I'm wearing down a
45:00
Speaker 1: little bit, but I've got to say, and this is
45:03
Speaker 1: not about the greatest of all time debate, but it
45:07
Speaker 1: is amazing. It is it is, it's almost without word
45:12
Speaker 1: what Lebron James is continuing to do at age forty one.
45:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, oh absolutely, oh very much. We've never seen a
45:21
Speaker 6: guy play at that level ever beat his team. So
45:25
Speaker 6: Kareem Abdude Jabbar played at age forty was still really good,
45:30
Speaker 6: but he didn't run down the floor all the time. Well, Magic,
45:34
Speaker 6: it's going to be well. Lebron is the focal point
45:37
Speaker 6: of his team as you speak right now, and to
45:41
Speaker 6: be that strong mentally, so his jump shot right and
45:44
Speaker 6: livers flat, which tells us that it's not his mind,
45:48
Speaker 6: but it's his body right now as far as his
45:50
Speaker 6: late and so he's shooting really of twenty two percent
45:53
Speaker 6: from threes in the series. If he's got to try
45:56
Speaker 6: to keep bringing the ball to the basket, and and
45:59
Speaker 6: he Austin reeves to help them as far as they
46:02
Speaker 6: help them to, especially tonight's game. But also it goes
46:05
Speaker 6: to game seven.
46:06
Speaker 1: Let's let's be very fordy, Gordy, let's be very fair too.
46:10
Speaker 1: Kareem had Magic worthy, Scott Rambus, he had like five
46:16
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers. Lebron does not have that same surrounding cast.
46:20
Speaker 6: That is correct, because that's right. It makes it's so
46:22
Speaker 6: even more powerful. What he's done right now. Maybe he
46:26
Speaker 6: turns forty. He turns forty two on December thirtieth. And
46:31
Speaker 6: we've never seen a guy minus Tom Brady, minus Tom
46:34
Speaker 6: Brady in the NFL play at an elite level where
46:38
Speaker 6: he is the focal point of his team. Now, Luca Dantus,
46:43
Speaker 6: he's not playing. He'll be out in their world at
46:45
Speaker 6: the advance maybe to the second round roughly round May
46:48
Speaker 6: fifteet to, so you know, to come back. So we'll
46:50
Speaker 6: see if that plays out with at all. If they
46:53
Speaker 6: don't advance. Right now, Lebron, you can make that debate
46:57
Speaker 6: one the greatest player of all time with the second
46:59
Speaker 6: career is of all time. But I know one thing,
47:01
Speaker 6: Lebron is the greatest player of all time with the
47:04
Speaker 6: most longevity that play at this level. John Stockton played
47:09
Speaker 6: till age thirty nine, he was still really good. And
47:12
Speaker 6: Call played at age forty and he was still really good.
47:15
Speaker 6: Not like Lebron.
47:17
Speaker 1: All right, Gord, got to hit me with your list today.
47:20
Speaker 1: What do we got?
47:21
Speaker 6: My list today is right on point about as far
47:24
Speaker 6: as Korea and durability. The list today is a short
47:27
Speaker 6: list of only thirteen names the NBA all time leaders
47:33
Speaker 6: and most Korea playoff games, and that's durability. That's having
47:38
Speaker 6: also other tremendous teammates that help you win games advance
47:42
Speaker 6: in your career. As far as each series. Here we
47:45
Speaker 6: go ty twelfth all time, Danny Ainge and Carl Malone
47:51
Speaker 6: with one hundred and ninety three playoff games and with
47:53
Speaker 6: Carl call played one seventy two games with the Jazz
47:58
Speaker 6: and twenty one games with the Lakers. Number eleven all time.
48:02
Speaker 6: Al Haffitt one hundred and ninety seven playoff games, Number
48:06
Speaker 6: ten all time, Scottie Pippen two hundred and eight, number
48:11
Speaker 6: nine all time, Shaquille O'Neill two sixteen, number eight, one
48:16
Speaker 6: of our all time favorites, Bill You and I, Mono
48:18
Speaker 6: Janobili two hundred eighteen, number seven, Kobe Bryant two hundred
48:24
Speaker 6: and twenty, number six, Tony Parker Bill who I worked
48:28
Speaker 6: out twice before the draft back in two thousand and
48:31
Speaker 6: one with two hundred and twenty six Korea playoff games,
48:36
Speaker 6: Number five, right on point. Kareem Abdul Jabbar with two
48:41
Speaker 6: thirty seven playoff games. Number four. Nick name Bill was
48:45
Speaker 6: big shot Rob Robert Horry played in two hundred and
48:50
Speaker 6: forty four playoff games. Number three missed the fundamental Tim
48:54
Speaker 6: Duncan two fifty one. Number two all time as the
48:59
Speaker 6: most games played in playoff appearances is Derek Fisher with
49:05
Speaker 6: two fifty nine and the number one player of all
49:08
Speaker 6: time he's playing tonight, ironically in Houston is Lebron Lebron
49:13
Speaker 6: James with two hundred and ninety seven playoff appearances. And
49:18
Speaker 6: that it's with the with the heat, with the Cavs
49:20
Speaker 6: and now with the Lakers.
49:23
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good list, Gord.
49:25
Speaker 6: Yes, what about John Stockton. Stockton is seventeenth all time.
49:31
Speaker 6: John played at one hundred and eighty two playoff games
49:34
Speaker 6: and the dred eighty two playoff games. I've invest assured
49:38
Speaker 6: that that guy gave it all, every second of it.
49:40
Speaker 6: Michael Jordan, he didn't play as many games because Michael
49:44
Speaker 6: Jordan never played in the game seven in his career. Bill,
49:48
Speaker 6: It's hard, it's a fabulous think about it. So Jordan
49:51
Speaker 6: was so great also with his trusted teammates, he never

Speaker 1: They've got their fortieth anniversary celebration and may window upgrade
52:29
Speaker 1: going on. Todd is joining us right now. How are you.
52:32
Speaker 1: I'm good, good, good. So we heard from Jake and
52:36
Speaker 1: Darren a little while ago. This is a big deal
52:38
Speaker 1: for you guys, having forty years in business but having
52:41
Speaker 1: the big window event going on too.
52:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's fantastic.
52:44
Speaker 10: It's just nice.
52:45
Speaker 7: Everything's turnkey here, you know.
52:47
Speaker 11: It's nice to be the factory to make the windows
52:49
Speaker 11: and offer a service to all our people here in Utah.
52:53
Speaker 11: So it's a blessing to be around this long. And
52:57
Speaker 11: it's just a big group of people. It's a large
52:59
Speaker 11: family family in here. Myself and I've been doing this
53:01
Speaker 11: twenty one years with them, but they've been open for
53:03
Speaker 11: forty and we got a good little program right now
53:06
Speaker 11: with three thousand dollars off a little upgrade for.
53:07
Speaker 1: You three thousand dollars off is no, that is no
53:11
Speaker 1: small savings on windows right now. And you know, if
53:15
Speaker 1: they need ten, that's great. But if they only need
53:17
Speaker 1: four or five, you guess all pro rate the discount too,
53:19
Speaker 1: won't you.
53:20
Speaker 7: Always?
53:20
Speaker 11: I always think that way too, because sometimes there's condominiums
53:23
Speaker 11: and all they've got is five windows, maybe a patiodor
53:25
Speaker 11: how do you not help them out? So we adjust accordingly.
53:28
Speaker 11: I absolutely treat everybody the same way.
53:30
Speaker 1: So give welcome through the process. If they're thinking about
53:34
Speaker 1: doing this, they're thinking about upgrading the windows or replacing
53:37
Speaker 1: current windows, or maybe they're building something new, how does
53:39
Speaker 1: it work? They're going to give you, guys a call
53:41
Speaker 1: eight oh one eighty five zero ninety one hundred ask
53:44
Speaker 1: for you. They'll say, Todd or Darren or whoever that's right,
53:47
Speaker 1: and where's the process from there?
53:48
Speaker 11: Okay, from there, we basically have just come out to
53:50
Speaker 11: do an in house consultation. It's just more of a
53:53
Speaker 11: measure up. We're not trying to get precise measurements. We're
53:55
Speaker 11: trying to identify what windows, how you want them to open,
53:58
Speaker 11: should they slide side to side, maybe the color of
54:01
Speaker 11: the frame and then just tell you a little bit
54:02
Speaker 11: about the product and the program, and then we kind
54:05
Speaker 11: of move on to the next step. If we like
54:07
Speaker 11: to get windows ordered, we're eight to ten weeks out typically,
54:10
Speaker 11: and from there we have our own crews install everything
54:14
Speaker 11: after it's been remeasured. So it's kind of a precedure
54:17
Speaker 11: where they'll be remeasured, there's installation set up, we'll call
54:20
Speaker 11: you beforehand.
54:21
Speaker 1: It's all turnkey. And the best part is, well, I mean,
54:24
Speaker 1: they do great work, but you guys are local. This
54:27
Speaker 1: is not like you guys are a satellite office and
54:29
Speaker 1: then your main office is in you know, is in
54:32
Speaker 1: hell at the Montana. Everything's made here, everything's taken care
54:36
Speaker 1: of here. If they need to get a hold of somebody,
54:39
Speaker 1: they're talking to somebody right here in Salt Lake and
54:41
Speaker 1: theyn get somebody out to the house in the afternoon exactly.
54:44
Speaker 11: So that's the recourse. So basically, once you buy, we're
54:46
Speaker 11: not leading anywhere. We're gonna put our wing over you
54:48
Speaker 11: and say hey, we've got you. In fact, it transfers
54:50
Speaker 11: to the next homeowner. The warranty is as good as
54:52
Speaker 11: you guys live there, and so from that it's just
54:55
Speaker 11: nice it's one on one and there's no middleman.
54:57
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember when we first started doing stuff years
55:00
Speaker 1: ago with you guys, and they told me that. I'm like, yeah,
55:02
Speaker 1: they said, we have people calling about windows with a
55:05
Speaker 1: lifetime guarantee that didn't buy the windows in the first place.
55:08
Speaker 1: They're the second or third owner of a home, right,
55:11
Speaker 1: and you guys still come out and back them up.
55:12
Speaker 7: Yeah.
55:12
Speaker 11: Absolutely, So we'll continue it on. And that's the beauty
55:16
Speaker 11: of the backing of the company itself to say, hey,
55:20
Speaker 11: we'll take care of whatever goes on. It can sometimes
55:22
Speaker 11: be accidental glass breakage and whatnot, but it's all by us.
55:26
Speaker 11: We're there for as long as you're there, and it
55:28
Speaker 11: makes a big difference.
55:29
Speaker 1: I had my friends Chrissy and Ralph that are out
55:32
Speaker 1: in West Jordan. They just got windows from you guys.
55:35
Speaker 1: They are thrilled with not just the windows themselves, but
55:39
Speaker 1: with how thorough you guys were all the way through
55:41
Speaker 1: the process. Yeap.
55:42
Speaker 11: So there's what fourteen installation crews, You've got one on
55:45
Speaker 11: one attention with their home. I mean they look at
55:47
Speaker 11: it as if it's their parents' house. They're very proud
55:49
Speaker 11: of their work. It's a craftsman.
55:50
Speaker 1: You know, it's an art.
55:51
Speaker 11: These guys are very talented what they do, and usually
55:53
Speaker 11: we get most of those windows done in one day,
55:55
Speaker 11: So twelve or thirteen fourteen windows are going to be
55:58
Speaker 11: done in one given day. And the best part about
56:01
Speaker 11: advanced windows is everything is made for our climate.
56:03
Speaker 1: We know what glass we need, we know what frames.
56:06
Speaker 11: Will work out, whether it's mesquite or up in Rock
56:08
Speaker 11: Springs or Salt Lake. And from there we can back
56:12
Speaker 11: up the warranty because we know it'll adjust to all
56:14
Speaker 11: the different levels of temperatures and we'll have a lot
56:17
Speaker 11: of prevention of expansion and contraction, any kind of problems
56:20
Speaker 11: with condensation. So turnkey and then we'll back it if
56:23
Speaker 11: there ever.
56:23
Speaker 1: Is an issue. Now's a great time for you guys
56:25
Speaker 1: to do it too, because we're not hot. The hot
56:27
Speaker 1: weather isn't going to hit us for another month or so.
56:29
Speaker 1: So you get that order done now, as Todd said,
56:32
Speaker 1: seven nine ten weeks out and then by the time
56:35
Speaker 1: it gets really hot, ye, your air and your house
56:37
Speaker 1: will stay nice and cool. You won't lose all that
56:39
Speaker 1: ac outside, especially right now. So thanks a lot, Yeah,
56:42
Speaker 1: give them a call. Eight one eighty five zero ninety
56:44

58:51
Speaker 1: couple of quick thoughts on spring football as it wrapped up.
58:54
Speaker 1: It's been almost two weeks now, but we haven't been
58:57
Speaker 1: together for a little more than two weeks now. It
59:00
Speaker 1: was good and uneventful for Utah. And if you want
59:03
Speaker 1: to give me some thoughts or have any questions for
59:04
Speaker 1: spring football, hit me on the text line at eight
59:07
Speaker 1: seven seven three five three zero seven hundred. But really,
59:10
Speaker 1: what you want is an uneventful spring when you're when
59:13
Speaker 1: you're a coach, and that's what they got. It was.
59:15
Speaker 1: It was a good spring for Scali and his staff,
59:17
Speaker 1: which is which is a good thing, kind of a
59:19
Speaker 1: get to know your time for the players and the
59:21
Speaker 1: coaches and the staff and new faces on both sides,
59:24
Speaker 1: so it was good. I talked to Scali on my podcast.
59:28
Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to this week's edition of The
59:30
Speaker 1: Crimson Corner, download and listen where you get your podcasts,
59:35
Speaker 1: Apple and iTunes, Spotify, wherever it might happen to be,
59:38
Speaker 1: and give us a good rating. While you're there, I
59:40
Speaker 1: talked to him and I asked him what he liked
59:42
Speaker 1: about spring and one of the first things he brought
59:45
Speaker 1: up was, you know, obviously good vibes, good energy, good
59:48
Speaker 1: effort in spring football. But he also brought up too,
59:52
Speaker 1: he liked the offensive line. And I know that's been
59:54
Speaker 1: a big question mark, and rightfully so when you have
59:56
Speaker 1: to replace five starters. But he likes the talent and
59:59
Speaker 1: he likes the progress they made. He really likes his
1:00:02
Speaker 1: hire of Jordan Gross, who's the offensive line coach, and
1:00:07
Speaker 1: he mentioned Kelvin Obought a couple of different times. And
1:00:11
Speaker 1: he likes some of the returners too, guys like Roger
1:00:13
Speaker 1: Alderman and Alex Harrison and I Garcia and Zaraway Williams.
1:00:17
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, this is gonna be a
1:00:19
Speaker 1: good offensive line this year. I'm not gonna tell you
1:00:21
Speaker 1: it's gonna be as good as last year's offensive line.
1:00:24
Speaker 1: And put two guys in the first round and have
1:00:25
Speaker 1: other guys joined rosters. I don't know that yet, but
1:00:28
Speaker 1: I know there's enough talent there that they're gonna be
1:00:31
Speaker 1: good this year. You also liked the offensive install that
1:00:34
Speaker 1: he got Kevin mcgiven and Devin dan Pierre most importantly,
1:00:38
Speaker 1: are on the same page. You've got to have your
1:00:40
Speaker 1: you've got to have your offensive coordinator and quarterback on
1:00:43
Speaker 1: the same page than they are, and they felt like
1:00:44
Speaker 1: install this spring went well. It's not a finished product
1:00:47
Speaker 1: by any means, but they're off to a good start
1:00:49
Speaker 1: as they get ready for summer and fall camp. And
1:00:52
Speaker 1: he also mentioned the running back room having wa Shawn
1:00:54
Speaker 1: Parker and Daniel Bray an excellent one to two punch.
1:00:58
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now too, I'm just gonna to
1:01:00
Speaker 1: tell you keep an eye on the freshman. I think
1:01:03
Speaker 1: LaMarcus Bell might be a guy that gets on the
1:01:06
Speaker 1: field this fall. Just listening to Kevin mcgiven talk to him,
1:01:10
Speaker 1: listening to Marcott to why I talk to talk about
1:01:12
Speaker 1: him this spring, listening to Morgan Scally talk about him,
1:01:16
Speaker 1: I just I think this young man from Oregon is
1:01:18
Speaker 1: gonna be a really nice only a freshman, but he's
1:01:22
Speaker 1: gonna be in position to have a really nice role
1:01:25
Speaker 1: with this team because the heavy lifting could be done
1:01:27
Speaker 1: by guys like Parker and Bray who have been in
1:01:30
Speaker 1: the program already. Bottom line is effort, energy, and even
1:01:34
Speaker 1: Morgan talk to a little bit about the edge. He
1:01:38
Speaker 1: liked the fact that some of the position groups had
1:01:40
Speaker 1: a little bit of an edge to him this spring.
1:01:43
Speaker 1: So I think they're in really good position heading into
1:01:46
Speaker 1: fall camp. There are questions still, and yet again that
1:01:49
Speaker 1: offensive line, I don't think it's the talent. I think
1:01:53
Speaker 1: it's who goes where, And they'll probably need to get
1:01:56
Speaker 1: that offensive line locked in pretty quickly to get those
1:02:01
Speaker 1: reps together for those guys, because that's really the key
1:02:05
Speaker 1: is getting those guys on the same page and getting
1:02:07
Speaker 1: them reps together. That's why the last two years the
1:02:09
Speaker 1: offensive line was so good is they played together for
1:02:13
Speaker 1: so very long. I'd say the other spot that's got
1:02:16
Speaker 1: a few questions going into fall camp probably corner. Who's
1:02:19
Speaker 1: gonna play opposite of Scooby Davis. I think they like
1:02:22
Speaker 1: the guys they have, and also who's gonna play the
1:02:24
Speaker 1: nickel Rock Caldwell, Jackson, Benny, We'll see. And then finally
1:02:29
Speaker 1: defensive tackle rotation. Again, I think it's a numbers game,
1:02:33
Speaker 1: and I think they feel like they like the talent there,
1:02:36
Speaker 1: but who are your top two and who are the
1:02:37
Speaker 1: guys that rotate in behind those guys? So I'd say,
1:02:40
Speaker 1: those are probably the top questions as they head from
1:02:43
Speaker 1: spring to summer and then into fall camp of the
1:02:47
Speaker 1: University of Utah. So everybody and their brother like to
1:02:52
Speaker 1: do these way too early. Top twenty five rankings, and
1:02:55
Speaker 1: those are fun. I've said it before, I'll say it again.
1:02:57
Speaker 1: For guys that host podcasts or host radio show or
1:03:01
Speaker 1: write blogs and stuff, guys that talk for a living,
1:03:03
Speaker 1: those things are great, and lots and lots of people
1:03:06
Speaker 1: do those things. In fact, I saw one this week.
1:03:09
Speaker 1: CBS Sports had one had Utah on the top. I
1:03:12
Speaker 1: think they were seventeen or eighteen. Brandon Marcelo had him
1:03:16
Speaker 1: at number twenty four and his So there's plenty of
1:03:19
Speaker 1: guys out there that will do those things. I thought
1:03:23
Speaker 1: about doing one today, but I've said, ah, there's still
1:03:26
Speaker 1: too much that are unknown. Then I thought, oh, maybe
1:03:30
Speaker 1: I should do a Big twelve kind of power ranking.
1:03:33
Speaker 1: And I still don't know that I know enough in
1:03:36
Speaker 1: depth to rank them one through sixteen. But I feel
1:03:40
Speaker 1: like I know enough certainly about Utah but most of
1:03:44
Speaker 1: the other programs, because I study it and I live
1:03:47
Speaker 1: it and I breathe it because I love it. I
1:03:50
Speaker 1: think I know enough to put maybe the Big twelve
1:03:53
Speaker 1: schools into tiers, and so that's what I did. I
1:03:58
Speaker 1: came up with an A tier, a B tier, A
1:04:02
Speaker 1: C tier, A D, AN E, and an F. So
1:04:07
Speaker 1: I have six tiers for Big twelve football and I'm
1:04:11
Speaker 1: gonna unveil those to you, and you guys can feel
1:04:14
Speaker 1: free to reach out and say you're up in the
1:04:16
Speaker 1: night Riley. It's never stopped you guys in the past,
1:04:19
Speaker 1: and I welcome it now. Text lines open eight seven seven,
1:04:23
Speaker 1: three five three zero, seven hundred, or you can say yeah,
1:04:26
Speaker 1: that's that's okay, or you can ask questions. So I'll
1:04:29
Speaker 1: start with the the F tier, and I just did
1:04:34
Speaker 1: them A B, C, D E, and F. That's not
1:04:37
Speaker 1: meaning they are in F, but they are the bottom
1:04:39
Speaker 1: team in the tier. There's only one team in Tier
1:04:42
Speaker 1: six that's Colorado. I don't think Colorado is gonna be
1:04:48
Speaker 1: great this year. I think that the Dion Sanders experiment
1:04:53
Speaker 1: hasn't probably progressed the way they would like in Boulder.
1:04:57
Speaker 1: They don't have a proven commodity at the quarterback spot.
1:05:02
Speaker 1: They've lost some really key talent that Dion's brought in
1:05:05
Speaker 1: in recent years. I'm just not sure what Dion and
1:05:09
Speaker 1: the Buffs have and so I put them in Tier
1:05:13
Speaker 1: six by themselves. In Tier five, I've got three schools,
1:05:20
Speaker 1: Iowa State, Cincinnati, and UCF. Cincinnati was one of the
1:05:25
Speaker 1: great stories in the league for about the first six
1:05:27
Speaker 1: or seven games of the year. Then they came crashing
1:05:29
Speaker 1: back to earth. They lost Brendan Soresby. They would have
1:05:33
Speaker 1: lost him had they been able to keep him. Iowa
1:05:36
Speaker 1: State's got an entirely new coaching staff and in a
1:05:40
Speaker 1: lot of ways, an entirely new roster this year. And UCF,
1:05:46
Speaker 1: I'm just not sure yet where they are under Scott Frost.
1:05:50
Speaker 1: They did okay, and the portal they recruited okay. They
1:05:53
Speaker 1: lost a lot too to the NFL and to other programs.
1:05:58
Speaker 1: So tier five, I've got Iowa State, Cincinnati, and UCF.
1:06:02
Speaker 1: In Tier number four, I've got Kansas, I've got West Virginia,
1:06:09
Speaker 1: and I've got Baylor. I think West Virginia is a
1:06:13
Speaker 1: bit on the rise and I could easily see them
1:06:16
Speaker 1: perhaps making a play to get into Tier three by
1:06:20
Speaker 1: the end of the season. I think rich Rod's the
1:06:22
Speaker 1: right guy in Morgantown. I think last year was a
1:06:26
Speaker 1: bit of a disaster for him. He brought in like
1:06:30
Speaker 1: eighty five new guys. But I think that he knows
1:06:35
Speaker 1: the lay of the land there and I think he's
1:06:37
Speaker 1: a good coach, and I think he fits there well.
1:06:40
Speaker 1: So if West Virginia moved up, I wouldn't be surprised.
1:06:43
Speaker 1: Kansas Tier four. They lost a lot, including their starting quarterback.
1:06:49
Speaker 1: I think Lance Leipold's a really good coach, but I've
1:06:52
Speaker 1: got to see what he does. He had a really
1:06:54
Speaker 1: good start to his time in Lawrence, and since then
1:06:57
Speaker 1: it's not been great. So for now, Kansas goes in
1:07:01
Speaker 1: Tier four and Baylor. Baylor's an interesting program. Utah got
1:07:07
Speaker 1: them last year down there in Waco. Dave Randa had
1:07:12
Speaker 1: a really good start to his run in Waco with
1:07:14
Speaker 1: the Bears, but since then it's been relatively underwhelming. I'm
1:07:19
Speaker 1: not really sure what to make of the Bears. I
1:07:22
Speaker 1: thought they would be better last year than they were,
1:07:26
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna put them in Tier four. Tier three.
1:07:29
Speaker 1: This is an interesting tier. I've got Arizona State, I've
1:07:34
Speaker 1: got Oklahoma State, who was the worst program of the
1:07:38
Speaker 1: conference last year, and I've got Kansas State. Two of
1:07:43
Speaker 1: those schools have brand new head coaches. Colin Klein, who's
1:07:46
Speaker 1: a former Kansas State quarterback, is now the head coach
1:07:50
Speaker 1: at his alma mater. He's a great offensive mind. In fact,
1:07:54
Speaker 1: he was at Texas A and M last year part
1:07:56
Speaker 1: of what Mike Elko did down there. He still has
1:07:59
Speaker 1: Avery Johnson, still has good running game. Kansas State's always
1:08:03
Speaker 1: one of those programs that tends to overachieve, and I
1:08:07
Speaker 1: think Colin Klein's going to do well in Manhattan. I'm
1:08:10
Speaker 1: not sure what the talent standpoint looks like right now,
1:08:13
Speaker 1: but I'm going to put them in Tier three. Also
1:08:16
Speaker 1: in Tier three, a new coach Oklahoma State, Eric Morris
1:08:21
Speaker 1: a great success at North Texas and then brought a
1:08:24
Speaker 1: lot of the talent that he had at North Texas,
1:08:26
Speaker 1: including the quarterback, wide receiver, running back with him to
1:08:30
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. Eric Morris knows the Big twelve. He's coached
1:08:34
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve, and I think he's brought a
1:08:36
Speaker 1: lot of talent with him. I'm not saying this is
1:08:38
Speaker 1: going to be like an Indiana type situation when Signetty
1:08:41
Speaker 1: brought all that talent from James Madison with him to Bloomington, Indiana.
1:08:46
Speaker 1: But it's got a chance in Oklahoma State does a
1:08:48
Speaker 1: really good job of supporting their program. Morris will not
1:08:52
Speaker 1: lack for funds. Then I've got Arizona State, Kenny Dillingham
1:08:59
Speaker 1: lost some pretty good players, Jordan Tyson gone, the quarterback,
1:09:03
Speaker 1: Levitt gone, some players to the NFL gone. I like
1:09:08
Speaker 1: Kenny Dillingham though, ASU, if they hit on the right transfers,
1:09:14
Speaker 1: might be in Tier two, but I'm gonna keep them
1:09:17
Speaker 1: in Tier three for right now because they were a
1:09:19
Speaker 1: bit down and some of that was injury related last year.
1:09:22
Speaker 1: We'll see if they bounced back in Tier number two.
1:09:27
Speaker 1: I've got three schools, Houston, Arizona, and TCU. Those are
1:09:36
Speaker 1: the three schools I've gotten tier number two. I think
1:09:40
Speaker 1: all three of those schools are very good. I think
1:09:42
Speaker 1: all three of those schools are borderline ranked teams. In fact,
1:09:45
Speaker 1: two of them, well one of them for sure, is
1:09:47
Speaker 1: in most people's preseason top twenty five. Arizona and TCU
1:09:51
Speaker 1: have bounced around just a little bit too. I think
1:09:53
Speaker 1: that they've done a really nice job. Willie Fritz has
1:09:56
Speaker 1: done a great job at Houston. I'm not sold on
1:09:58
Speaker 1: their quarterback Connor Wegman, but he's got a big time
1:10:01
Speaker 1: running back in really good defense, and they were a
1:10:05
Speaker 1: ten win team a year ago. Arizona. I think Arizona's
1:10:10
Speaker 1: really good, and I think outside the BYU game, I
1:10:13
Speaker 1: think Arizona might end up being Utah's most difficult game
1:10:16
Speaker 1: of the season. They're really good, and they've got a
1:10:20
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback in Noah Fafita, and I think Brett Brennan's
1:10:25
Speaker 1: a good football coach. Third team I have in Tier
1:10:29
Speaker 1: two is TCU. I'm not sure the quarterback situation. Losing
1:10:34
Speaker 1: Josh hub they brought a kid in from Harvard playing
1:10:37
Speaker 1: in the IVY League's great, but can you translate from
1:10:39
Speaker 1: an IVY league to power for football. We'll see. But
1:10:43
Speaker 1: I think Sonny Dyke's is a good coach too, and
1:10:46
Speaker 1: they're a friends top twenty five team. So that's Tier two.
1:10:49
Speaker 1: Tier one. I've got BYU, I've got Utah, and I've
1:10:54
Speaker 1: got Texas Tech. And I don't think there's a great
1:10:57
Speaker 1: deal of distance. And I've said this all spring law,
1:11:00
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a great deal of distance between
1:11:02
Speaker 1: any of those three schools. And now with the news
1:11:06
Speaker 1: of Brendan Soresby, if there was a big gap or
1:11:10
Speaker 1: even a gap between Tech, Utah and BYU. I think
1:11:14
Speaker 1: that that that gap is closed. I think Texas Tech
1:11:18
Speaker 1: is a good program. I think Joey McGuire is a
1:11:21
Speaker 1: good coach. They lost a lot to the NFL Draft.
1:11:24
Speaker 1: I mean they lost a ton to the NFL Draft.
1:11:28
Speaker 1: I know they've replaced it pretty well, but I want
1:11:30
Speaker 1: to see what happens there and the quarterbacks the most
1:11:32
Speaker 1: important position, and I'm not quite sure what the future
1:11:38
Speaker 1: holds for Soresby. By most accounts, it doesn't look good
1:11:41
Speaker 1: right now. B YU, They're just solid. They're good. Kilanie's
1:11:46
Speaker 1: got a really good program down there. Bear Bachmeyer's back
1:11:49
Speaker 1: for another year. My big question with the Cougars is
1:11:53
Speaker 1: how big a loss is Jay Hill going to Michigan
1:11:56
Speaker 1: And who are the playmakers that replaced guys like Kingston
1:12:01
Speaker 1: and Roberts. They're gonna lean heavily on LJ. Mart, as
1:12:04
Speaker 1: they should. And then of course Utah. I think Utah
1:12:09
Speaker 1: is gonna be really good, and I think the schedule
1:12:10
Speaker 1: makers did Utah some favors. Their toughest conference games for
1:12:15
Speaker 1: me are in Salt Lake City. They've got Houston at home,
1:12:21
Speaker 1: and they've got and they've got BYU at home. So
1:12:25
Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. But I think those are
1:12:27
Speaker 1: the tiers for me. Tech, Utah and BYU I think
1:12:31
Speaker 1: are definitively, definitively in tier one. Houston, Arizona TCU are
1:12:38
Speaker 1: tier two. Tier three is the interesting tier for me
1:12:42
Speaker 1: because I think those schools could easily bump themselves up
1:12:47
Speaker 1: a tier, maybe into Tier two. But I've got ASU,
1:12:49
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, and Kansas State there now Tier four, Kansas, West, Virginia, Baylor,
1:12:55
Speaker 1: Tier five, Iowa State, Cincinnati UCF and Tier six at
1:12:59
Speaker 1: least for now, I've got the buffs of Colorado. So
1:13:04
Speaker 1: didn't brank them one through sixteen. I put them in tiers,
1:13:07
Speaker 1: and you guys can feel free to weigh in as
1:13:09
Speaker 1: you would like on those and tell me what you think.
1:13:14

Speaker 1: Products eight oh one eighty five zero ninety one hundred.
1:17:57
Speaker 1: It's the May upgrade event going on right now. I
1:18:00
Speaker 1: haven't talked to you since the Scaley regime has begun.
1:18:03
Speaker 7: It's been a while.
1:18:04
Speaker 1: How excited are you for this? Have you've been up?
1:18:06
Speaker 1: Did you watch any spring practice? Would you think? Yeah?
1:18:08
Speaker 7: So we went up to the spring scrimmage along with that.
1:18:10
Speaker 4: You know, we of the alumni thing, right, the nonprofit
1:18:14
Speaker 4: Utah Players Association really just bringing our alumni group back
1:18:16
Speaker 4: together and bringing our locker room together, right, and so
1:18:19
Speaker 4: Scali being a former player himself has really opened up
1:18:22
Speaker 4: that door as well. And once the guy's in the
1:18:24
Speaker 4: building around the program. That same day of the scrimmage,
1:18:27
Speaker 4: they had Junior Day, so we were able to actually
1:18:29
Speaker 4: celebrate and welcome these juniors on their visit. And then
1:18:33
Speaker 4: we went outside and had a big barbecue, right, Scali
1:18:35
Speaker 4: and some of the staff members came down and said
1:18:36
Speaker 4: hello to us as well.
1:18:38
Speaker 7: But it really is a beautiful thing. And yeah, a
1:18:40
Speaker 7: lot of excitement around there.
1:18:41
Speaker 1: Great to see my guy bo Naga he up there
1:18:42
Speaker 1: taking their business up there, that's right, And.
1:18:44
Speaker 4: So again just adds fuel to the alumni relations and
1:18:48
Speaker 4: to what the connection is with former players, right and
1:18:51
Speaker 4: bringing them back into the building, helping the current players,
1:18:54
Speaker 4: you know, their transition, whether to the NFL or to
1:18:57
Speaker 4: just business right and just opening up that door. But
1:19:00
Speaker 4: really excited for the program as a whole with all
1:19:02
Speaker 4: that close Skyle he's going to be bringing to the table.
1:19:05

1:19:28
Speaker 3: As you were listening to the Sean O'Connell Show from
1:19:31
Speaker 3: the Murdoch Hyundai Studio of ESPN seven hundred and ninety
1:19:35
Speaker 3: two to one FM.
1:19:38
Speaker 1: Back on the Shan O'Connell Show, Bill Riley, Pinch Pinch
1:19:41
Speaker 1: hitting today for Shawn. He's off doing PFL stuff. He'll
1:19:44
Speaker 1: be back next week with you. We're live today out
1:19:47
Speaker 1: in the bat doing the Advanced Window Products fortieth anniversary celebration.
1:19:52
Speaker 1: As great to see Nate Orchard and his dad Dave
1:19:55
Speaker 1: and all the good folks that are out here celebrating
1:19:57
Speaker 1: forty years in business. I saw her guest a couple
1:20:00
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He was wandering around the Utah Football
1:20:03
Speaker 1: facility observing the new era of Utah football. Morgan Scully
1:20:08
Speaker 1: and his staff Atam Rittenberg of ESPN dot com college
1:20:12
Speaker 1: football writer was in town doing some observing of football,
1:20:16
Speaker 1: doing a little writing as he's I think he's been
1:20:18
Speaker 1: touring all over the country this spring too. Adam, how
1:20:20
Speaker 1: are you?
1:20:21
Speaker 5: I'm doing great.
1:20:22
Speaker 6: Bill?
1:20:22
Speaker 1: How you doing? I'm doing great. How was your time here?
1:20:26
Speaker 2: It was fun?
1:20:26
Speaker 10: You know.
1:20:27
Speaker 5: I had been to Salt Lake, but not for really
1:20:29
Speaker 5: work purposes, so it was it was great to drop
1:20:32
Speaker 5: in on Utah and see Morgan and obviously head down
1:20:35
Speaker 5: to Profo and spent some time with Klanie in that staff.
1:20:37
Speaker 5: So the two teams that you know, especially in light
1:20:40
Speaker 5: of the news this week, are certainly going to be
1:20:43
Speaker 5: in that mix of Big twelve contenders and you have
1:20:46
Speaker 5: a chance to contend for their first college football playoff side.
1:20:50
Speaker 1: You know, it's been interesting because I traveled all around
1:20:52
Speaker 1: during basketball season and after football ended, and obviously there
1:20:55
Speaker 1: was the change that you know, Kyle stepped down and
1:20:58
Speaker 1: then he took the Michigan job and some co which
1:21:00
Speaker 1: just went with them and players and things. You know,
1:21:02
Speaker 1: there was a lot of people asking a lot of
1:21:04
Speaker 1: questions about the state of Utah football, and I said,
1:21:07
Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be different, but you know,
1:21:10
Speaker 1: different isn't always bad, and change happens. And I told people,
1:21:13
Speaker 1: I said, you know, things are fine, and you know
1:21:16
Speaker 1: the staff is in place, and Morgan's been preparing for
1:21:19
Speaker 1: this for a while and they kept a lot of
1:21:21
Speaker 1: key pieces, and people are like, really, it's okay. I said, yeah,
1:21:23
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know what's going to happen when
1:21:25
Speaker 1: they kick it off in the fall, but I think
1:21:27
Speaker 1: the programs in a really good position. And people are
1:21:30
Speaker 1: kind of looked at me and said, okay, you got
1:21:32
Speaker 1: to observe it. I'd be curious your observation as you
1:21:34
Speaker 1: came in, because I'm sure you had probably say some
1:21:36
Speaker 1: of the same thoughts from Afar when all the change
1:21:39
Speaker 1: happened in.
1:21:40
Speaker 5: December, right, Yeah, you know, obviously there are some changes there,
1:21:44
Speaker 5: and I think that's a good thing. I don't think
1:21:46
Speaker 5: it's great to just, even if you have had a
1:21:49
Speaker 5: great run like Utah hat under Kyle Winningham, to just
1:21:53
Speaker 5: go forward to like business as usual without changing things
1:21:56
Speaker 5: like acknowledge the fact that this is a big deal,
1:21:58
Speaker 5: that this is a new coach, the new regime. And
1:22:01
Speaker 5: I think Morgan's done a nice job of putting his
1:22:03
Speaker 5: own stamp on things and saying, hey, this is my
1:22:06
Speaker 5: program now and it's not going to be exactly.
1:22:08
Speaker 2: The same as it was.
1:22:09
Speaker 5: There's gonna be some principles, and obviously some players that
1:22:12
Speaker 5: have held over from last year's team, you know, Devin
1:22:15
Speaker 5: dan Pier, You're probably front and center among them. But
1:22:19
Speaker 5: it's not going to be exactly the same here, and
1:22:22
Speaker 5: certainly everything that he does in here one of year
1:22:24
Speaker 5: two will be judged in comparison to what Kyle did.
1:22:28
Speaker 5: But I think he's ready for that. He's ready for
1:22:31
Speaker 5: that type of scrutiny. But he's also ready to run
1:22:34
Speaker 5: the program the way he wants to do it. And again,
1:22:37
Speaker 5: well we talked about extensively and this isn't a new
1:22:40
Speaker 5: point for your listeners. Hey, there's a clear step here.
1:22:43
Speaker 5: You tell them just about everything, but make the playoffs.
1:22:46
Speaker 5: The next step is to make the playoff, like that's
1:22:48
Speaker 5: the goal, and obviously to try to advance what once
1:22:51
Speaker 5: you get there. But we'll see if they can do
1:22:53
Speaker 5: it here in your wonner if it's going to take
1:22:55
Speaker 5: a few years. But I think I came away from
1:22:58
Speaker 5: there thinking that this is not a coach that's just
1:23:01
Speaker 5: trying to copy what he learned from his predecessor. He's
1:23:03
Speaker 5: trying to do things his own way, and I think
1:23:05
Speaker 5: that's that at least gives you a chance to be successful.
1:23:08
Speaker 5: Doesn't guarantee anything, but I think that's a more effective
1:23:11
Speaker 5: approach than just trying to copy everything that, again, a
1:23:15
Speaker 5: very successful coach did there for a long time.
1:23:17
Speaker 1: Adam Rittenberg with us ESPN dot com college football writer
1:23:21
Speaker 1: and insider. You were kind of on the ground throughout
1:23:24
Speaker 1: the day. You were there for a full day, kind
1:23:26
Speaker 1: of observing things. Anything jump out to you in particular,
1:23:30
Speaker 1: above and beyond what you just were talking about.
1:23:33
Speaker 5: It were interesting to hear, you know, how open everybody
1:23:37
Speaker 5: was about the fact that they felt there were two
1:23:39
Speaker 5: cultures on the team. Previously, there was an offensive culture
1:23:42
Speaker 5: and a defensive culture. You know, typically that leads to
1:23:46
Speaker 5: problems like that doesn't lead to the success that Utaw
1:23:49
Speaker 5: obviously had under Kyle Winningham. You know, they're pretty adamant
1:23:52
Speaker 5: that that, Hey, now it's Morgan Scalley's culture. You know,
1:23:54
Speaker 5: the things that were there on the defensive side of
1:23:56
Speaker 5: the ball, some of the slogans and the way he
1:23:58
Speaker 5: did things and the way he ran practice is now
1:24:02
Speaker 5: creating through.
1:24:03
Speaker 1: The entire team.
1:24:04
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, the encouraging thing for Utah
1:24:06
Speaker 5: fans is that, I think for this program to to
1:24:11
Speaker 5: get to the playoff and to achieve at its peak,
1:24:14
Speaker 5: everything has to be clicking. It can't just be an
1:24:17
Speaker 5: offensive team. It can't just be a great defensive or
1:24:19
Speaker 5: special team's outfit as it was it was for many
1:24:23
Speaker 5: years Underwit. You know, everybody has to be kind of
1:24:26
Speaker 5: on the same page and moving in the right direction.
1:24:28
Speaker 5: I think that's what they believe they have achieved here
1:24:32
Speaker 5: because of the way that Morgan is running things, because
1:24:34
Speaker 5: again I've heard that before, like oftentimes when when the
1:24:37
Speaker 5: teams say, hey, it's almost split in here, you don't
1:24:39
Speaker 5: expect there to be the success And Utah again was
1:24:43
Speaker 5: that pretty open about the fact that they felt that, hey,
1:24:45
Speaker 5: the offense did things one and the defense did things
1:24:47
Speaker 5: another way. That's not the case anymore. We're all doing
1:24:50
Speaker 5: it the same way under Morgan's leadership.
1:24:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you mentioned something important. Keeping the leadership
1:24:56
Speaker 1: on the team is important too. And having Devin, Dan
1:24:58
Speaker 1: Peer and Bird fit when frankly, which the relationship last
1:25:03
Speaker 1: year was interesting, it's even more interesting that they're back
1:25:05
Speaker 1: together again this year because one of the you think
1:25:08
Speaker 1: in this day and age of the portal and and
1:25:09
Speaker 1: everything else in NIL, one of those guys might have
1:25:12
Speaker 1: jumped to take a take a job. But the fact
1:25:14
Speaker 1: that Bird stayed to be kind of the wingman and
1:25:17
Speaker 1: maybe air apparent was pretty impressive. And I don't know
1:25:20
Speaker 1: if you've got to talk to many of the players
1:25:21
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, but having those two bat guys back
1:25:24
Speaker 1: and having a full spring with a new offensive coordinator
1:25:27
Speaker 1: and Kevin mcgibbon's pretty big.
1:25:29
Speaker 5: It is and again a significant investment to keep Bird Ficklin.
1:25:34
Speaker 5: And that's not something that is, you know, just a
1:25:37
Speaker 5: Utah thing. I've seen that around the country.
1:25:39
Speaker 2: I was talking to someone.
1:25:40
Speaker 5: At Alabama the other day about, you know, keeping both
1:25:43
Speaker 5: of their quarterbacks who are competing for a job on
1:25:46
Speaker 5: the team when they obviously had opportunities to leave.
1:25:50
Speaker 2: Somewhat similar with Utah.
1:25:51
Speaker 5: Obviously Devin was going to be the guy, but to
1:25:53
Speaker 5: be able to keep Bird there and you know, watching
1:25:55
Speaker 5: practice a bit, he is an absolute playmaker, dynamic guy
1:25:59
Speaker 5: who will certainly be part of the offense in some
1:26:01
Speaker 5: form or fashion with mcgiven, but certainly with Devin. Just
1:26:05
Speaker 5: a great kid, as you know, a great leader, really
1:26:08
Speaker 5: fun guy to talk to, and you know, it's interesting
1:26:10
Speaker 5: to meet that Morgan talk to me about Hey, going
1:26:12
Speaker 5: to his apartment after all, this went down and apologizing
1:26:15
Speaker 5: to him and saying, hey man, this isn't what you
1:26:17
Speaker 5: signed up for to come here to have the success
1:26:19
Speaker 5: that you had to lead a top five rushing offense
1:26:22
Speaker 5: and then to have your head coach and your offensive coordinator.
1:26:25
Speaker 5: But you came in with leave for Michigan, you know,
1:26:28
Speaker 5: knowing that you're not going to be going with them.
1:26:30
Speaker 5: I mean, Michigan was going to be committed to Bryce
1:26:32
Speaker 5: Underwood in this process.
1:26:33
Speaker 2: That's a difficult position.
1:26:35
Speaker 1: For a guy to be in.
1:26:36
Speaker 5: And the Devin's credit, you know, he told me he
1:26:39
Speaker 5: never really wavered on leaving and wants to finish his
1:26:42
Speaker 5: career as a ute and certainly has a chance to
1:26:46
Speaker 5: go down as a pretty memorable quarterback there for Utah.
1:26:49
Speaker 5: So it's a cool story because it wouldn't have blamed
1:26:52
Speaker 5: him for leaving.
1:26:53
Speaker 2: You wouldn't have.
1:26:53
Speaker 5: Blamed him or Bird for that matter, for taking more money.
1:26:56
Speaker 5: Given the situation there, they have both decided to to
1:27:01
Speaker 5: remain and have those their clear roles and work together
1:27:04
Speaker 5: really well and try to have some success here in
1:27:07
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six.
1:27:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting, Adam. You know, everybody loves to do
1:27:11
Speaker 1: the way too early. Top twenty fives, and those are
1:27:13
Speaker 1: great for podcasts and sports talk radio, and I'm not
1:27:17
Speaker 1: on the air on a regular basis anymore, but I'm
1:27:19
Speaker 1: filling in today and I wasn't gonna do that. I
1:27:22
Speaker 1: don't know enough about the rest of the country and
1:27:24
Speaker 1: it's still early, but I thought i'd have some fun
1:27:26
Speaker 1: and break the Big twelve up into some post spring
1:27:28
Speaker 1: football tiers. I still think there's a definitive Tier one.
1:27:32
Speaker 1: And even with the news of Tech this week, I
1:27:34
Speaker 1: think Tech, Utah and BYU or tier one, and I
1:27:37
Speaker 1: put Houston, Arizona and TCU and tier two. Would you
1:27:41
Speaker 1: agree with that?
1:27:43
Speaker 5: You know, I've heard a lot of buzz on that
1:27:45
Speaker 5: trip that I took, and you know, in just an
1:27:48
Speaker 5: all sense, parents I did go to Arizona. Even from
1:27:50
Speaker 5: people I spoke to at BYU and Utah, they are
1:27:53
Speaker 5: very I don't know, concerned is the right word, but
1:27:56
Speaker 5: they're very aware of what's going.
1:27:57
Speaker 2: On in Arizona.
1:27:58
Speaker 5: It's not a team that maybe people are talking about nationally,
1:28:01
Speaker 5: but if you look at the fact Noah Defeita is
1:28:03
Speaker 5: coming back as one of the most experienced quarterbacks in
1:28:06
Speaker 5: college football. They were able to retain a number of
1:28:09
Speaker 5: really good players on both sides of the ball. They
1:28:11
Speaker 5: added in the in the portal, they didn't lose a
1:28:13
Speaker 5: lot of guys that they were hoping to keep, and
1:28:16
Speaker 5: they're I think Gonzales, the coordinator, he thinks they can
1:28:21
Speaker 5: be a top ten defense nationally. They changed the outlook.
1:28:25
Speaker 5: So I think both Houston and Arizona for the TCU
1:28:29
Speaker 5: are team buildings, believe that they can contend. Houston obviously
1:28:35
Speaker 5: retaining Connor Wegman Marie Thomas. They brought in some really
1:28:39
Speaker 5: good transfers at the offensive line spots from Tulane and
1:28:42
Speaker 5: Toledo to really solidify that group. So par of Arizona
1:28:47
Speaker 5: and Houston as well. But I certainly, you know, I
1:28:49
Speaker 5: don't think you're off face with the top three.
1:28:52
Speaker 1: Now, I'm with you, and I've said all along. Utah
1:28:55
Speaker 1: doesn't get Tech or ASU in the regular season this year.
1:28:59
Speaker 1: They've got b one you in Houston at home. But
1:29:01
Speaker 1: outside of that BYU game, which, as you know, the
1:29:04
Speaker 1: rivalry game is always a big one. That Arizona game
1:29:07
Speaker 1: is probably Utah's toughest because it's at Arizona and it's
1:29:10
Speaker 1: the week after BYU.
1:29:13
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, so again you could you're gonna be coming
1:29:15
Speaker 5: off of an emotional game one way or the other.
1:29:18
Speaker 5: You know, used to obviously trying to to win that game.
1:29:21
Speaker 5: And then you know you have Arizona again, a team
1:29:23
Speaker 5: that will not be intimidated and can well really believe
1:29:27
Speaker 5: that they can be a contender this season. So, you know,
1:29:30
Speaker 5: I really like the vibe around that program just to
1:29:33
Speaker 5: be you know, kind of honest with you. They are
1:29:36
Speaker 5: very open about the fact that we don't have the
1:29:38
Speaker 5: most money, we don't have the most resources. You know,
1:29:41
Speaker 5: we're keeping guys who want to be here, and that's
1:29:43
Speaker 5: that's I know, Iffita really leads that group. And I
1:29:47
Speaker 5: don't know if you know, as valuable as seven damp
1:29:49
Speaker 5: Pier is, I think no Fafida might be the most
1:29:52
Speaker 5: valuable quarterback in the country, just because you know they
1:29:55
Speaker 5: need him on the field. He at Arizona and obviously
1:30:00
Speaker 5: it's a game.
1:30:02
Speaker 2: He's someone that you have to be.
1:30:04
Speaker 6: Very aware of.
1:30:05
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you. Brent Brennan's a good coach too,
1:30:08
Speaker 1: and the fact that that you know, for years, the
1:30:09
Speaker 1: defense was always not great at Arizona. Now they've got
1:30:12
Speaker 1: a good defense. They're a dangerous team to tech for
1:30:15
Speaker 1: a minute, the Soorsby situation. I mean, I nobody knows
1:30:18
Speaker 1: what's going to happen here, but it doesn't look good
1:30:20
Speaker 1: for Soresby if he indeed was betting on his own team.
1:30:23
Speaker 1: When he was at Indiana, Will Hammond was really good
1:30:27
Speaker 1: last year. He in fact, he was the guy that
1:30:29
Speaker 1: almost single handedly beat Utah when when Morton was was out.
1:30:34
Speaker 1: What's the prognosis that you've heard for him and when
1:30:36
Speaker 1: they are they expecting him back and how does that
1:30:39
Speaker 1: impact TECH in your mind?
1:30:41
Speaker 6: Well?
1:30:41
Speaker 5: Sure, I mean you don't want to rush his injury
1:30:43
Speaker 5: as important as the season is. You know, you want
1:30:46
Speaker 5: him to return when he's ready to return, and that
1:30:49
Speaker 5: appears to be you know, several games into the year.
1:30:52
Speaker 7: Now.
1:30:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:30:54
Speaker 5: Then that Houston team we were just talking about, who
1:30:57
Speaker 5: comes in on September eighteen, it was Ablie Christian, It's
1:31:01
Speaker 5: Oregon State, It's color where Arizona State comes up. If
1:31:07
Speaker 5: they can get through that first part of the schedule
1:31:09
Speaker 5: and then and then let will you know, be at
1:31:12
Speaker 5: full strength for the bulk of the Big Big twelve season.
1:31:15
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna be in good shape, you know,
1:31:17
Speaker 5: in regards to Storesby, you know, as someone who covered
1:31:19
Speaker 5: the Iowa State of Iowa's gambling raid, which impacted the
1:31:24
Speaker 5: athletes of both Iowa State and Iowa pretty closely.
1:31:28
Speaker 2: These rules are pretty.
1:31:29
Speaker 5: Cruck cut dry. I'd be very surprised if you see
1:31:31
Speaker 5: bet and swordsby in the Texas Tech uniform this year
1:31:34
Speaker 5: anytime soon, probably not ever.
1:31:37
Speaker 2: If you bet on.
1:31:38
Speaker 5: Your own team. Hunter Dectors at that same situation had
1:31:41
Speaker 5: one bet that he made while he was not even
1:31:44
Speaker 5: playing for Iowa State. It wasn't a bet to lose.
1:31:46
Speaker 5: It was on the team to win, just like the
1:31:48
Speaker 5: swords beat and he was declared permanently ineligible. So that's
1:31:53
Speaker 5: my expectation at least at this point.
1:31:55
Speaker 1: For Hey, before I let you go, because I know
1:31:58
Speaker 1: you cover a lot of Big ten football in your
1:32:00
Speaker 1: based in Big ten country. You know, obviously he coached
1:32:04
Speaker 1: here twenty one years. Was what was the spring kind
1:32:07
Speaker 1: of report card? And how did things come out of
1:32:09
Speaker 1: the spring for Kyle Whittingham in his first year up
1:32:11
Speaker 1: at Michigan.
1:32:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think mostly positive, right, I think for Michigan,
1:32:16
Speaker 5: you know, they obviously want to get back to the
1:32:18
Speaker 5: playoff and contending for the Big Ten, but they also
1:32:20
Speaker 5: want a sense of normalcy, And you know, I think Kyle,
1:32:24
Speaker 5: as you guys know, well, it is a very steady person.
1:32:27
Speaker 5: I think that's important for Michigan to have that type
1:32:29
Speaker 5: of leadership as they, you know, again try to position
1:32:32
Speaker 5: themselves to catch Indiana and Ohio State and Oregon and
1:32:36
Speaker 5: some of these top teams in the in the Big Ten.
1:32:38
Speaker 5: And you're talking to Kyle, you know, if he doesn't
1:32:41
Speaker 5: give you much, but the feeling I got with him was, Hey,
1:32:44
Speaker 5: these guys are learning how we do things, and we're
1:32:46
Speaker 5: pushing them maybe at a level that they weren't pushed
1:32:49
Speaker 5: that before under the previous regime. So there's going to
1:32:52
Speaker 5: be some adjustments there. But I think Michigan's going to
1:32:54
Speaker 5: come out of this as a stronger football team. I
1:32:57
Speaker 5: don't know this year if they're talented enough at the
1:33:00
Speaker 5: right position to make the college football playoffs, but I
1:33:03
Speaker 5: think they're going to be a team that's really tough,
1:33:05
Speaker 5: like all of which teams are, and then they're probably
1:33:07
Speaker 5: even to be a team that's tougher as the season
1:33:09
Speaker 5: goes along. So really excited to see what he does.
1:33:12
Speaker 5: But with a tough schedule, you know, I think some
1:33:14
Speaker 5: deficiencies at certain positions question market quarterback. I don't know
1:33:18
Speaker 5: if I put Michigan in the playoff conversation.
1:33:20
Speaker 1: Hey, Adam, thank you so much for doing this. I
1:33:23
Speaker 1: know we've been trying to connect for a little while now.
1:33:25

Speaker 1: Lake City. And maybe we get you back here for

1:35:44
Speaker 1: Hey Bill, big sports fan here. Was excited getting another
1:35:46
Speaker 1: pro team here, but the Mammoth prices have made it
1:35:48
Speaker 1: difficult to be a fanal stick with RSL and the Jazz. Well, yeah,
1:35:51
Speaker 1: that's that's the downside too. It's expensive, but it's to me.
1:35:56
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Major League Soccer, called it for
1:36:00
Speaker 1: or eighteen years. It was fantastic. The NBA's fine. The
1:36:04
Speaker 1: NHL is a different beast. It's fantastic. By the way,
1:36:08
Speaker 1: you can be a fan without going down there. There
1:36:10
Speaker 1: are all those games are on TV. Text message, Hey, Bill,
1:36:13
Speaker 1: me and my family are all in on Mammoth Hockey Utah.
1:36:17
Speaker 1: Have a little hockey, kids playing playing hockey. Love hockey,
1:36:20
Speaker 1: wanna play all in Great, that's fantastic. This one comes Shuber. Oh,
1:36:25
Speaker 1: Hey Shuber, great to hear from you today. Huge, Bill

Speaker 1: Riley and hockey fan here. Love how they beat on

Speaker 1: that game. Text message, Hey, Bill, thanks for the shout
1:36:45
Speaker 1: out during your spot on the Advanced Windows listening in
1:36:49
Speaker 1: from Hell to Montana. Hey, thanks for checking in from
1:36:53
Speaker 1: Montana today. Appreciate that eight seven seven three five three
1:36:57
Speaker 1: zero seven hundred text message. On the topic of spring football,
1:37:02
Speaker 1: the only real question I have is about the expectations.
1:37:05
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of people saying ten and two
1:37:07
Speaker 1: is realistic. I've also heard going to a bowl game
1:37:10
Speaker 1: by itself would be a good season. As a person
1:37:13
Speaker 1: that's at least sort of close to the team, where
1:37:15
Speaker 1: should my expectations be? Utah? If you're a Utah fan,
1:37:21
Speaker 1: your expectations should always be that they're going to compete
1:37:24
Speaker 1: for a conference championship. That is the expectation bar that
1:37:28
Speaker 1: was set for twenty one years of Kyle Whittingham football,
1:37:31
Speaker 1: and that's what it is with Morgan Scalley there too.
1:37:34
Speaker 1: The expectations don't change just because the coaching staff and
1:37:39
Speaker 1: the regime has changed. The expectations remain the same. And
1:37:42
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm up in the night on this.
1:37:44
Speaker 1: Nate Orchard's right here with me. We're down here at
1:37:46
Speaker 1: Advanced Window Products, his company celebrating forty years. Am I
1:37:49
Speaker 1: right about that? Just because they've changed coaches, the expectations
1:37:52
Speaker 1: don't change.
1:37:53
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, just because they changed coaches, the
1:37:56
Speaker 4: expectations don't change.
1:37:57
Speaker 7: It at different from the company.
1:37:58
Speaker 4: There's a standard we live by, right and for Utah football,
1:38:01
Speaker 4: there's that standard.
1:38:02
Speaker 7: There's that expectation year after year.
1:38:04
Speaker 4: Obviously having you know, hard nos phenomenal defense that's relentless
1:38:08
Speaker 4: pursuit of the ball, and an offense that can put
1:38:11
Speaker 4: up some points and obvious specially the teams doing their part.
1:38:13
Speaker 4: But there is a standard always when it comes to
1:38:15
Speaker 4: Utah football, in the view that it has.
1:38:17
Speaker 1: You were up there a couple of times the spring,
1:38:19
Speaker 1: you were up there for the alumni barbecue, watched the scrimmage.
1:38:22
Speaker 1: Obviously you know Morgan, he was on staff when you played.
1:38:25
Speaker 1: You know a lot of those other guys as well,
1:38:27
Speaker 1: guys that are former nflers like yourself, Jordan Gross who's
1:38:30
Speaker 1: up there, Derek Odom who's up there, some of these
1:38:32
Speaker 1: other guys. But what was your takeaway? Because I tell
1:38:35
Speaker 1: people all the time, change is not a bad thing,
1:38:39
Speaker 1: and a different energy and vibe is not a bad thing.
1:38:41
Speaker 1: There was nothing wrong with it before, but different is
1:38:44
Speaker 1: sometimes good. What did you sense as you were up
1:38:46
Speaker 1: there around it?
1:38:46
Speaker 4: Yes, it's definitely different right from the staff, let alone
1:38:50
Speaker 4: the coaches, even people in the cafeteria because that was
1:38:54
Speaker 4: there for so long. But change, you know, is hard
1:38:58
Speaker 4: for people to accept sometimes. But do you have to
1:39:01
Speaker 4: be able to in your mind have that paradigm shift
1:39:03
Speaker 4: that hey, this is gonna be a good thing. Right
1:39:05
Speaker 4: And Scally has a vision. Been sitting behind the scenes
1:39:08
Speaker 4: for so long, he knows where the trajectory of where
1:39:10
Speaker 4: things are going and who to bring on to make
1:39:12
Speaker 4: that difference.
1:39:13
Speaker 7: And he's doing that right now.
1:39:15
Speaker 4: And he's bringing on all these guys man and he's
1:39:17
Speaker 4: gonna be making some noise without a doubt, I know it.
1:39:19
Speaker 1: I mean, you played both there, but you played professionally too,
1:39:24
Speaker 1: you know, hearing that voice, having that having to buy in.
1:39:27
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter whether you're playing you conference football, or
1:39:30
Speaker 1: you're playing high school at Highland, or you're playing at
1:39:33
Speaker 1: the Year or in the NFL. Players have to buy
1:39:36
Speaker 1: in to what the coach's message is. Do you get
1:39:39
Speaker 1: the censos players are bought in up there?
1:39:41
Speaker 4: You know it's it's a work in progress in the
1:39:43
Speaker 4: sense of I haven't been around them as much to
1:39:45
Speaker 4: see it visibly, but I expect that it is right
1:39:48
Speaker 4: in today's world and in the NIL world, you show up,
1:39:52
Speaker 4: you gotta pay. You know you're getting paid, and guys
1:39:55
Speaker 4: need to do their part. But again, someone like Scaley
1:39:57
Speaker 4: who's been there for so long, I mean, these guys
1:40:00
Speaker 4: have disrespect. They understand the message, they see it, but
1:40:02
Speaker 4: they got to adhere to it and show up each
1:40:04
Speaker 4: and every day and put in the work that needs
1:40:06
Speaker 4: to be done.
1:40:06
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Like I said, I was around it.
1:40:09
Speaker 1: You know. Being in the position I'm in, I get
1:40:11
Speaker 1: to see behind the scenes a little bit more, get
1:40:13
Speaker 1: to interact with the coaches and the players, And I
1:40:17
Speaker 1: tell people it's one of those weird things that you
1:40:19
Speaker 1: can't put your finger exactly on what it is. Yeah,
1:40:21
Speaker 1: but the vibe and the energy was just really good
1:40:24
Speaker 1: for sure. And when the vibes and the energy, that
1:40:26
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're gonna go out and win ten or
1:40:28
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve games, but it helps, yep. It helps
1:40:31
Speaker 1: when the buy ins there, and it helps when you're
1:40:34
Speaker 1: four or five months away from the season and everybody's
1:40:37
Speaker 1: feeling good and everybody's got a smile on their face
1:40:39
Speaker 1: and they're happy to.
1:40:39
Speaker 7: Be there, exactly.
1:40:40
Speaker 4: And you're building that foundation, right, you're little by little
1:40:43
Speaker 4: and you're building the house and you're stacking these bricks together,
1:40:46
Speaker 4: and the guys are putting in the work and making
1:40:48
Speaker 4: those daily deposits into the bank to really, you know,
1:40:52
Speaker 4: get the fruits up their labor of what's to come
1:40:54
Speaker 4: and what's.
1:40:54
Speaker 7: You know when the season rolls around.
1:40:56
Speaker 4: But yeah, to really answer your question, man, a lot
1:40:59
Speaker 4: of just thinking about head coaches and the changes always
1:41:03
Speaker 4: and their standard you really won't see it until you
1:41:07
Speaker 4: know kick off, right, yeah, and how the players perform
1:41:10
Speaker 4: on the field, from their discipline on how they're tackling penalties,
1:41:13
Speaker 4: are they limiting mistakes? Are they executing right blocks and
1:41:16
Speaker 4: assignments and all those things, And those are all a
1:41:19
Speaker 4: reflection of not only the head coach, but what's expected
1:41:21
Speaker 4: of his staff as well.
1:41:22
Speaker 7: So that part excites me. At the end of the day,
1:41:24
Speaker 7: the energy is good.
1:41:25
Speaker 4: Really excited for what Scalley's bringing to the table, the
1:41:28
Speaker 4: coaches that he's bringing along with him.
1:41:29
Speaker 7: I've got it close with Bo Nagahi and Pablo Conno
1:41:32
Speaker 7: up there. Those guys are amazing.
1:41:34
Speaker 4: But just really looking forward to the camp here come
1:41:37
Speaker 4: and fall camp, and then once the season rolls around's
1:41:39
Speaker 4: gonna be fun.
1:41:40

Speaker 1: that has been in year number two for the Mammoth
1:44:08
Speaker 1: coming up, my friend Mike folt to the Voice of
1:44:10
Speaker 1: the Mammoth. Join us next here on the Shan O'Connell
1:44:12
Speaker 1: Show on ESPN seven hundred and ninety two one FM.
1:44:19
Speaker 3: As you were listening to about Sean O'Connell show, your
1:44:22
Speaker 3: source for the best utes football cover reach, here's oc
1:44:26
Speaker 3: from the Murdoch Hyundai Studio of ESPN seven hundred at
1:44:30
Speaker 3: ninety two to one AF AM.
1:44:32
Speaker 1: Got an hour left in the show today, Bill Riley
1:44:35
Speaker 1: filling in for Shan O'Connell today here on ESPN seven
1:44:38
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety two to one FM, about seven hours
1:44:41
Speaker 1: from right now, right now, seven hours unless the game
1:44:46
Speaker 1: before them goes along, but we'll just say seven hours
1:44:49
Speaker 1: from right now. The puck drops for Game six at
1:44:51
Speaker 1: the Delta Center, Golden Knights with a three to two lead,
1:44:54
Speaker 1: Will this be the final game of the year for
1:44:57
Speaker 1: the Utah Mammoth. If it is, it's been a wildly
1:45:00
Speaker 1: successful year two. But let's hope Game seven is in
1:45:03
Speaker 1: the offing and maybe something beyond that. I know our
1:45:06
Speaker 1: next guest is hoping for that because he's had a
1:45:08
Speaker 1: great run this year and getting to sit behind the
1:45:11
Speaker 1: mic and call NHL Stanley Cup playoff action is phenomenal.
1:45:15
Speaker 1: I can only imagine Mike Folta joining us right now,
1:45:18
Speaker 1: the voice of the Utah Mammoth on a game day.
1:45:22
Speaker 2: How are you, Mike, Oh Bill, I'm doing great. The
1:45:25
Speaker 2: sun is shining, we got snow on the mountains, and
1:45:28
Speaker 2: the Utah Mammoth for the first time ever, are in
1:45:31
Speaker 2: a do or die situation. I must win here in
1:45:34
Speaker 2: Game six, trying to force a Game seven back in Vegas,
1:45:38
Speaker 2: and we've had a couple of heartbreakers the last two
1:45:41
Speaker 2: times out. Vegas has beaten Utah in Game four and
1:45:43
Speaker 2: then in Game five, both for five to four overtime
1:45:47
Speaker 2: losses to the Mountain Blue. But what do they say
1:45:49
Speaker 2: in football, it's hard to beat a team three times.
1:45:53
Speaker 2: Let's hope that that proves to be true and hockey.
1:45:56
Speaker 1: As well well. I hope so. And I mean the
1:46:00
Speaker 1: other night, the four to three lead late in the third,
1:46:02
Speaker 1: you're feeling we're gonna come home with with with a
1:46:05
Speaker 1: chance to advance in a game six, and then it's
1:46:09
Speaker 1: sport man, and in hockey playoffs, you just you just
1:46:13
Speaker 1: it's not over till that horn sounds. But you've had
1:46:16
Speaker 1: back to back games where you've had four to three
1:46:18
Speaker 1: leads in the third and they've just gotten the way
1:46:20
Speaker 1: and overtimes has gone the way the other way.
1:46:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, I mean it shows you the Mammoth
1:46:26
Speaker 2: are right there, right, And I think there's a lot
1:46:28
Speaker 2: of positives to take away from the last few games
1:46:31
Speaker 2: and really just about every game this series. I thought
1:46:34
Speaker 2: the Mammoth carried the play. I thought they were the
1:46:36
Speaker 2: better team for a lot of Game five a couple
1:46:38
Speaker 2: of nights ago, and Vegas just made that one extra
1:46:42
Speaker 2: play and that's all it takes.
1:46:44
Speaker 12: And that's the beauty of sports, but especially.
1:46:47
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup playoffs because it is all or nothing.
1:46:50
Speaker 2: Like in the regular season, you lose an overtime and
1:46:53
Speaker 2: you're like in the playoffs and I was, I gotta
1:46:59
Speaker 2: be honest, I was in shock after that loss and
1:47:02
Speaker 2: double overtime on Wednesday. It's kind of sat there and stared.
1:47:08
Speaker 2: I tried to, like, I don't even know if I
1:47:10
Speaker 2: was alive for those ten minutes. But you still have
1:47:13
Speaker 2: everything in front of you that you want. You've a
1:47:15
Speaker 2: great chance of even the series on home ice, and
1:47:18
Speaker 2: it's going to be an incredible atmosphere tonight at the
1:47:21
Speaker 2: Delta Center. I cannot wait for it. And I just
1:47:25
Speaker 2: have this feeling that we're going back to Vegas.
1:47:27
Speaker 1: I hope that's the case. It's been such a fun
1:47:30
Speaker 1: run to watch. I mean, I left the airwaves on
1:47:34
Speaker 1: this show on a regular basis almost two years ago,
1:47:36
Speaker 1: just before you got the town, just as the hockey
1:47:39
Speaker 1: team was being announced, and I in some ways I'm
1:47:42
Speaker 1: jealous of Sean and Spence. They have so much more
1:47:45
Speaker 1: content to talk about and the product is so very good.
1:47:49
Speaker 1: But I've been a hockey fan all my life. The
1:47:51
Speaker 1: playoffs are just a different animal and beast. And you know,
1:47:54
Speaker 1: I as busy as I am during basketball and football seasons,
1:47:58
Speaker 1: I'll watch a game here and there, but ever missed
1:48:00
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I've never had a team in a
1:48:02
Speaker 1: town where I live there was it was a playoff
1:48:05
Speaker 1: team so it's been so much fun to watch this.
1:48:07
Speaker 1: What what's it been like for you, is a hockey
1:48:10
Speaker 1: announcer and a hockey fan to be able to call
1:48:13
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time.
1:48:15
Speaker 2: It's the highs and lows, my friend.
1:48:17
Speaker 12: It's you know the low that that.
1:48:20
Speaker 2: I mentioned last game when the Mammuts gave up that
1:48:24
Speaker 2: game winner and overtime, like that was like being broken
1:48:28
Speaker 2: up with ten times in a row by like ten
1:48:32
Speaker 2: different girlfriends. You know, I can't even.
1:48:34
Speaker 5: Like Matt like I can't.
1:48:36
Speaker 12: I can't quite put a a description on like the
1:48:40
Speaker 12: depths of despair that I felt for those few minutes.
1:48:44
Speaker 12: But then in in Game four when the Mammates.
1:48:48
Speaker 2: Scored four straight games and Michael Carcone and then Clayton
1:48:52
Speaker 2: Keller scored to tie and then give Utah the lead
1:48:54
Speaker 2: in the third period, like those were out of body experiences.
1:48:58
Speaker 2: I don't even know what I said. I was just
1:49:01
Speaker 2: I was just like speaking what was in my soul
1:49:04
Speaker 2: in those moments, and it's it's incredible.
1:49:08
Speaker 5: The swings that you get in.
1:49:10
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup playoffs, they're they're really you can't replicate
1:49:14
Speaker 2: it in the regular season, and I don't know how
1:49:16
Speaker 2: you you can replicate it in other sports, like it's
1:49:20
Speaker 2: it's for my money, it's the best playoff in pro sports.
1:49:26
Speaker 2: And it's been so much fun. And and the thing
1:49:28
Speaker 2: is every game's been good. Like the Mammods have led
1:49:32
Speaker 2: in the third period of every game in this series
1:49:35
Speaker 2: and they're only two and three, Like they're down three
1:49:37
Speaker 2: two in the series. That's how competitive, and that's how
1:49:40
Speaker 2: close every game has been. Uh, And not to mention
1:49:44
Speaker 2: it's it's a bit of a rival or a burgeoning
1:49:47
Speaker 2: rival if you will. The Golden Knights close in proximity.
1:49:51
Speaker 2: You have Vegas fans that are that are kind of
1:49:54
Speaker 2: turning their sweaters in and pledging allegiance to the Mountain
1:49:57
Speaker 2: Blue after the jersey swap. Like a rivalry that I
1:50:03
Speaker 2: think is going to pick up steam in years to come,
1:50:06
Speaker 2: and certainly it'll we'll get a continuance of that tonight.
1:50:09
Speaker 2: But it's hard to fully describe how it's felt emotionally,
1:50:14
Speaker 2: because these are emotions that I haven't felt before as
1:50:17
Speaker 2: a hockey broadcaster.
1:50:18
Speaker 1: Well, it's funny you say that, because I've said it
1:50:21
Speaker 1: for years. When Utah joined the Pac twelve in athletics,
1:50:26
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen years ago, the Pac twelve tried to
1:50:29
Speaker 1: force a Colorado Utah rivalry. Think all Rocky Mountain rivals.
1:50:33
Speaker 1: Well I said this. I said, you can't force rivalries
1:50:37
Speaker 1: in sports. You just you can't. It takes some time,
1:50:40
Speaker 1: but it also takes competition, memorable competition, and when you've
1:50:46
Speaker 1: played meaningful games, that's when rivalries develop. And it just
1:50:50
Speaker 1: really never happened with Utah and Colorado. Well I said
1:50:53
Speaker 1: before this playoff series began, I said, Vegas and Utah
1:50:57
Speaker 1: have a chance to become a rival. I mean, I
1:51:00
Speaker 1: thought that when they came in together. But I said,
1:51:02
Speaker 1: you can't force that. You have to play some memory
1:51:05
Speaker 1: in in in you know, professional sports generally in the playoffs,
1:51:09
Speaker 1: and the way this series has kind of played itself out,
1:51:12
Speaker 1: the proximity and and all that, all those other things.
1:51:15
Speaker 1: I just it may not happen overnight. Things don't happen overnight,
1:51:19
Speaker 1: but this could be the start of what could be
1:51:21
Speaker 1: a great regional NHL rivalry, no doubt.
1:51:26
Speaker 2: And these are both teams that should be good for
1:51:29
Speaker 2: the next few years as well, and so have a
1:51:32
Speaker 2: chance to meet in the playoffs, not just this year obviously,
1:51:36
Speaker 2: but in years to come. So that part's exciting. I mean,
1:51:40
Speaker 2: I learned very quickly when I when I got here
1:51:45
Speaker 2: to Yuta, I learned very quickly not to uh, not
1:51:49
Speaker 2: to make any Michael Jordan references. That was something that
1:51:54
Speaker 2: I knew about the Jordan push off. I just didn't
1:51:56
Speaker 2: know how deep those scars ran here in State forty five.
1:52:01
Speaker 2: And you know, you think of what we're seeing with
1:52:03
Speaker 2: the Mammoth and with Vegas, Like, I mean, Brett Howdon
1:52:07
Speaker 2: has scored a game winner and overtime, Shaye deed Or
1:52:11
Speaker 2: has scored a game winner and overtime for Vegas against
1:52:13
Speaker 2: the Mammots, like like Who's gonna be a Golden Knight?
1:52:16
Speaker 2: That that is seared in our memory for his play.
1:52:21
Speaker 1: Against the Mammot.
1:52:22
Speaker 2: I think going the other way, Logan Cooley is public
1:52:25
Speaker 2: enemy number one on the strip in Las Vegas. Like
1:52:28
Speaker 2: he is right in the middle of all the pushing
1:52:30
Speaker 2: and shoving. He wants all the smoke. He's chirping guys
1:52:34
Speaker 2: every game, like he was getting booed left and right
1:52:37
Speaker 2: at Tmobile Arena in all three of the previous games
1:52:41
Speaker 2: that we've played there to this point. So he has
1:52:45
Speaker 2: definitely made his mark on this series with a couple
1:52:48
Speaker 2: of goals so far and all that pushing and shoving
1:52:51
Speaker 2: that that I mentioned. But I'm curious to see if
1:52:55
Speaker 2: if we get any Golden Knights. Don't think they're going
1:52:57
Speaker 2: to reach Jordan pushed off status, but uh maybe in
1:53:01
Speaker 2: that neighborhood.
1:53:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that's the equivalent of mentioning Bartman or something
1:53:06
Speaker 1: like that in Chicago. You just those those are there's
1:53:08
Speaker 1: certain names that you don't mention to certain fan bases,
1:53:11
Speaker 1: and you just kind of leave those things alone. Mike
1:53:13
Speaker 1: Folte with us. He's the play by play voice of
1:53:16
Speaker 1: the Utah Mammoth. Game six is tonight at eight o'clock.
1:53:18
Speaker 1: The puttt will drop down at the Delta Center. So
1:53:22
Speaker 1: I said this at the beginning of my kind of
1:53:23
Speaker 1: my open today. A good start is important, a good
1:53:28
Speaker 1: finish is paramount. Tonight, as evidenced by the last two games, well,
1:53:32
Speaker 1: what's what's the key within it? Give me, give me
1:53:35
Speaker 1: some game within the game stuff here that maybe didn't
1:53:38
Speaker 1: happen the last two games. As you mentioned, Mammoth played well.
1:53:41
Speaker 1: It's not as if anybody has not played well either
1:53:43
Speaker 1: side in this series. But what what what do you
1:53:46
Speaker 1: want to see that maybe you haven't seen the last
1:53:47
Speaker 1: couple of games out.
1:53:49
Speaker 2: You know, that's a question that we've been trying to
1:53:51
Speaker 2: answer the entire series because you mentioned the starts, which
1:53:56
Speaker 2: is a great point. That was a that was a storyline.
1:53:58
Speaker 2: The Mammoth could get out to a good start in
1:54:01
Speaker 2: a game and then what do you know, they get
1:54:03
Speaker 2: out to a good start in game in game five
1:54:06
Speaker 2: a couple nights ago, and they still lose. You know,
1:54:09
Speaker 2: we were saying, oh, the Mammoth need to win the
1:54:11
Speaker 2: special teams battle. Well, they they won the special teams
1:54:14
Speaker 2: battle for a couple of games, and they still lost
1:54:17
Speaker 2: at least one of those. I do think special teams
1:54:20
Speaker 2: is a big factor. You look at Vegas, They've scored
1:54:23
Speaker 2: three power play goals in the series. Mammoths have scored one.
1:54:27
Speaker 2: Vegas has scored two short handed goals in this series.
1:54:31
Speaker 2: Utah has scored none. So I think that's been a
1:54:35
Speaker 2: decided advantage for the Golden Knights in this series. I
1:54:38
Speaker 2: do think that has to that has to be a
1:54:41
Speaker 2: big focus tonight. It has to be an area where
1:54:43
Speaker 2: the Mammoth win the game or win that battle of
1:54:46
Speaker 2: the special teams. We talked to Bear earlier this morning,
1:54:49
Speaker 2: and he told us, like, you know, if there's one
1:54:53
Speaker 2: thing to win, it's it's special teams. I think I
1:54:56
Speaker 2: think other than that, it's you know something I've said
1:54:58
Speaker 2: for a couple of games now, and that's keep punching.
1:55:00
Speaker 2: These teams are too even to think that one side
1:55:03
Speaker 2: is going to control the pace for a full sixty minutes.
1:55:07
Speaker 2: In every game in this series, there has been back
1:55:10
Speaker 2: and forth. You have to be able to keep punching,
1:55:13
Speaker 2: take that next swing. And what does Rocky say? It's
1:55:16
Speaker 2: not about hard you can hit, It's about how hard
1:55:18
Speaker 2: you can get hit and keep getting back up. The
1:55:21
Speaker 2: Mammoths have to keep getting back up this moment because
1:55:24
Speaker 2: whatever happens tonight, it is not going to be a
1:55:26
Speaker 2: perfect game for the Utah Mammoth and their ability to
1:55:30
Speaker 2: respond within a game is something they've gotten a lot
1:55:32
Speaker 2: better at throughout the year. They need to be at
1:55:35
Speaker 2: their best in Game six.
1:55:36
Speaker 1: Is there a goaltender advantage going into Game six here?
1:55:39
Speaker 1: I mean, I think both have played well at times.
1:55:42
Speaker 1: I think both sides have had pretty good goaltending, not
1:55:45
Speaker 1: excellent by any means, But do you think there's any
1:55:48
Speaker 1: advantage tonight on either side? Because oftentimes to hot goaltender.
1:55:51
Speaker 1: Is the difference in the playoffs one hundred percent.
1:55:55
Speaker 2: I don't think there's an advantage one side or the
1:55:57
Speaker 2: other heading into the night. I think Correll Vamelca had
1:56:00
Speaker 2: a bit of an edge through the first three games.
1:56:03
Speaker 2: I agree, like a bit of an edge, not much,
1:56:06
Speaker 2: but a slight one. I think Carter Hart has just
1:56:08
Speaker 2: made that one extra save each of the last couple
1:56:11
Speaker 2: of nights. Not that he's been that much better than
1:56:14
Speaker 2: than Veggie, but but he has made you know, he
1:56:17
Speaker 2: made literally one more saves against against Utah in Game four,
1:56:21
Speaker 2: they had the same numbers except for that one more
1:56:23
Speaker 2: saved by by Heart. So I think it's a bit
1:56:26
Speaker 2: of a wash. With that being said, both of these
1:56:29
Speaker 2: goalies are capable, I think, of taking over a game.
1:56:33
Speaker 2: We haven't exactly seen that yet. Maybe you can make
1:56:36
Speaker 2: the argument in game three that was a steal by Vimeilka,
1:56:39
Speaker 2: But I do think if there is a goalie who
1:56:42
Speaker 2: can like win you one game, you feel better about
1:56:45
Speaker 2: Vimelka than you do Heart. But overall, I think it's
1:56:47
Speaker 2: been pretty.
1:56:48
Speaker 1: Even that just because of his overall body of work
1:56:50
Speaker 1: this year.
1:56:52
Speaker 2: I think it's because of his big game prowess. Like
1:56:55
Speaker 2: one of the most memorable moments has been you know,
1:56:58
Speaker 2: going back to last year, he made like forty nine
1:57:00
Speaker 2: saves against Carolina and what was kind of his introduction
1:57:04
Speaker 2: to our fan base, And we've seen a couple of
1:57:07
Speaker 2: games like that throughout the year. He had a shutout
1:57:09
Speaker 2: against Vegas earlier this season, stopped twenty nine shots and
1:57:13
Speaker 2: was really good. I think he has that big game
1:57:17
Speaker 2: ability where you know, all of a sudden, you can
1:57:19
Speaker 2: just kind of realize that the other team, like, I
1:57:21
Speaker 2: guess we're not scoring tonight, we better we better hope
1:57:24
Speaker 2: one goes in off somebody's butt. But I love the
1:57:27
Speaker 2: way he stays calm, like day in and day out.
1:57:31
Speaker 2: It's really hard to rattle the guy. And I think
1:57:34
Speaker 2: he's got that big game mojo. Hopefully he's got it tonight.
1:57:37
Speaker 1: More surprising last night Minnesota or Anaheim.
1:57:44
Speaker 2: That's a great one. I have to say Anaheim's because
1:57:47
Speaker 2: Edmonton's been there the last year. If they've been to
1:57:49
Speaker 2: the Conference or they've been a Stanley Cup Finals each
1:57:52
Speaker 2: of the last two seasons and have come up short. Minnesota,
1:57:57
Speaker 2: they're a really good team. We knew that coming in Dallas.
1:58:00
Speaker 2: Another really good team. That was an electric series. Very
1:58:03
Speaker 2: bummed that didn't go seven. That's a series where would
1:58:06
Speaker 2: have liked to have seen as much of that series
1:58:08
Speaker 2: as possible. But when you trade for Quinn Hughes, one
1:58:11
Speaker 2: of the best defensemen in the world, when you acquire
1:58:14
Speaker 2: him midway through the season, you instantly become a Stanley
1:58:18
Speaker 2: Cup contender. That was already a playoff bound team and
1:58:21
Speaker 2: they added one of the best the men in the league.
1:58:24
Speaker 1: And they're flying.
1:58:25
Speaker 2: They have more pace than Dallas, they probably have more
1:58:28
Speaker 2: skill than Dallas, and they're getting really good goaltending from
1:58:31
Speaker 2: Yespervalstad as well. So they're scary. Like that's gonna be
1:58:35
Speaker 2: a great a great tilt between them and Colorado Anaheim.
1:58:38
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a great team. But boy, if you're Utah,
1:58:42
Speaker 2: you're sitting here thinking, gun, if we can just get
1:58:45
Speaker 2: by the Golden Knights, it's a coin flip in round
1:58:48
Speaker 2: two against the Ducks, like you feel, you feel as
1:58:52
Speaker 2: confident as you possibly can in a second round matchup
1:58:54
Speaker 2: against a team like Anaheim, another team that likes a
1:58:57
Speaker 2: run and gun. They've struggled defensively at times. But if
1:59:01
Speaker 2: you're Utah, you're you're thinking oh man, if we can
1:59:04
Speaker 2: win these next two games, there's a realistic chance we
1:59:08
Speaker 2: can get to the conference finals, which is crazy.
1:59:11
Speaker 1: By the way, what a year Hughes. Hughes has had, right,
1:59:14
Speaker 1: I mean between the Olympics and now the playoffs.
1:59:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's he's a he's a stud first of all,
1:59:23
Speaker 2: but he plays as much as anybody, like he seems
1:59:27
Speaker 2: to never come off the ice. It's he doesn't quite
1:59:30
Speaker 2: have that Caale mccarr factor where he's just gonna skate
1:59:33
Speaker 2: around everyone with rass speed.
1:59:36
Speaker 1: He's more.
1:59:38
Speaker 2: A bit more of a Jamal Charles like and make
1:59:40
Speaker 2: you miss type of running back, if that makes sense.
1:59:43
Speaker 1: Like I'm a Chiefs fan. I'm a Chiefs fan. I
1:59:46
Speaker 1: love that reference.
1:59:48
Speaker 2: Okay, So, so you had Jamal Charles and what was
1:59:50
Speaker 2: it like mccluster who was the other one in that tandem?
1:59:54
Speaker 2: Am I am? I way off here?
1:59:56
Speaker 1: No, no, no, well, Dexter mccluster was just kind of
1:59:59
Speaker 1: a he was kind of a an add on back
2:00:01
Speaker 1: you had the day. Back in the day, you had
2:00:02
Speaker 1: Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes who were together. You had
2:00:06
Speaker 1: that one two combination.
2:00:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yes, okay, okay, that's good. All right,
2:00:10
Speaker 2: I see I overextended on my NFL references there, but
2:00:15
Speaker 2: trying to go with Dester mccluster, like the guy probably
2:00:17
Speaker 2: returned punts and that was a But Quinn Hughes, he's
2:00:22
Speaker 2: got that shiftiness, right, He's like your third down back.
2:00:25
Speaker 2: He's he's got that that elusiveness with his skating. We
2:00:29
Speaker 2: call it edgework in hockey where he's so hard to
2:00:32
Speaker 2: hit because you can't catch him. You can't hit what
2:00:35
Speaker 2: you can't catch, and Quinn Hughes is like that. He's
2:00:38
Speaker 2: got all the offensive ability in the world. Comes from
2:00:41
Speaker 2: a great hockey family. His two brothers are studs with
2:00:44
Speaker 2: the New Jersey Devils as well, so he's got great
2:00:47
Speaker 2: jeans and that that is gonna be an awesome second
2:00:50
Speaker 2: round series. Minnesota and Colorado cannot wait for that because
2:00:53
Speaker 2: you have probably the two best defenseman in the league
2:00:57
Speaker 2: in Hughes and mccarr going head to head.
2:00:59
Speaker 1: Anybody in the surprise you right.
2:01:00
Speaker 2: Now, Philly, I mean the Philadelphia Rights, Yeah, I think
2:01:08
Speaker 2: I think Rick Tockett deserves a really strong look as
2:01:11
Speaker 2: coach of the Year. Uh, it's a really good team
2:01:14
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia, Like it's pretty deep, but they don't have that.
2:01:18
Speaker 2: They don't have a Sydney Crosby. They don't have a
2:01:20
Speaker 2: Guinea Malkin, they don't have a they don't They certainly
2:01:23
Speaker 2: don't have a Quinn Hughes or a Kale mccarr. They
2:01:24
Speaker 2: don't have even a guy like Clayton Keller, you know,
2:01:27
Speaker 2: who had eighty eight points in the regular season for Utah.
2:01:30
Speaker 2: They Philly didn't have anybody close to that offensively. So
2:01:35
Speaker 2: it's a team that has elevated their play as a group,
2:01:38
Speaker 2: and Tockett has been rolling at the at the right time.
2:01:40
Speaker 2: And that fan base is rabid, Like just if you
2:01:44
Speaker 2: thought the scenes out of out of that Arena were
2:01:48
Speaker 2: good in the first round, like just get wait or
2:01:50
Speaker 2: just wait. I think they're gonna have trouble with Carolina
2:01:52
Speaker 2: because I think the Hurricanes are an absolute wagon. But uh,
2:01:56
Speaker 2: but but those home games and in Philly are gonna
2:02:00
Speaker 2: a ton of fun.
2:02:01
Speaker 1: Mike Folt is with us for a moment or two more.
2:02:03
Speaker 1: He'll have the call on radio tonight of the of
2:02:06
Speaker 1: the Mammoth and the Golden Knights game six from Downtown.
2:02:10
Speaker 1: It's hard to explain if you haven't been around sports
2:02:14
Speaker 1: your entire life, like you and I have. We're fortunate
2:02:17
Speaker 1: enough to be in the arena calling things. But there's
2:02:19
Speaker 1: a different level to postseason stuff. I've oftentimes said I
2:02:24
Speaker 1: love the NFL playoffs, and I've been around them and
2:02:26
Speaker 1: I covered them, and I love but but the two
2:02:28
Speaker 1: playoffs that just feel different than the regular season are
2:02:32
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball playoffs in the NHL playoffs and
2:02:35
Speaker 1: the NHL guys go hard every night. But but there's
2:02:38
Speaker 1: just a different level to it. How do you explain
2:02:42
Speaker 1: it when you're when you're in the arena, you're calling
2:02:45
Speaker 1: it the intensity to a to A to a postseason
2:02:49
Speaker 1: NHL game versus a regular season NHL game.
2:02:53
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, I was, I was pondering this the
2:02:56
Speaker 2: other day, Bill, and I think with with sports like
2:03:00
Speaker 2: baseball and hockey, and you can throw the NBA in
2:03:02
Speaker 2: there because they play eighty two games and games. Yeah,
2:03:05
Speaker 2: Like during the regular season, you're looking at you're evaluating
2:03:09
Speaker 2: teams and players off of sample sizes. You're evaluating teams
2:03:13
Speaker 2: and players off of stretches a week, a month, the
2:03:17
Speaker 2: last few games, even a whole season. You're looking at
2:03:23
Speaker 2: players and teams over a stretch of time. In the playoffs,
2:03:27
Speaker 2: we're making, you know, judgments on guys off of one moment, right,
2:03:33
Speaker 2: Like the man has played an incredible game in Game five,
2:03:37
Speaker 2: and then Utah couldn't get the puck out of their
2:03:40
Speaker 2: own zone while they were up a man. Brett Howden
2:03:43
Speaker 2: makes an incredible play for Vegas and Utah loses the
2:03:47
Speaker 2: game because of that one moment, right, And like you
2:03:50
Speaker 2: boil these, you boil everything down to mere seconds and moments,
2:03:56
Speaker 2: and they become the moments that define players, define team, teams,
2:04:00
Speaker 2: define franchises, and they're the moments that stick with us.
2:04:03
Speaker 2: Where in the regular season we say, oh, yeah, Clayton
2:04:07
Speaker 2: Keller had a great year. In the playoffs we sayton
2:04:11
Speaker 2: Clayton Keller had a great play, he had a great goal.
2:04:14
Speaker 2: And so I think that's what it is, is we
2:04:17
Speaker 2: distill everything down to the minutia of the game, those seconds,
2:04:22
Speaker 2: those moments that make all the difference. Whereas in the
2:04:25
Speaker 2: regular season, ah, you know, we got beat there, we'll
2:04:29
Speaker 2: get him again tomorrow, that doesn't exist, it doesn't exist.
2:04:32
Speaker 2: In the playoffs. Everything is filtered down to the smallest moments.
2:04:36
Speaker 1: All right, last thing for you that I'm going to
2:04:38
Speaker 1: cut you loose, Mike Fulta and the Mammoth are heading
2:04:41
Speaker 1: back to Las Vegas for Game seven. If what happens tonight, well.
2:04:48
Speaker 2: What did I say? We asked Bear this earlier. He
2:04:50
Speaker 2: said win the special teams battle. That was his one thing.
2:04:55
Speaker 2: I think if the Mammoth can extend a lead tonight,
2:05:00
Speaker 2: that now that hasn't been a key indicator of success.
2:05:03
Speaker 2: That's been one for one during the series, because the
2:05:06
Speaker 2: Mammoths have given up a couple of leads and and
2:05:09
Speaker 2: Vegas has given up a couple of leads as well.
2:05:11
Speaker 2: But I think at some point tonight the Mammoths are
2:05:14
Speaker 2: going to be up by a goal. Can they get
2:05:16
Speaker 2: the next goal? Can they make it three to one
2:05:19
Speaker 2: instead of just sitting at two to one and then
2:05:22
Speaker 2: you let Vegas hang around, hang around? Can you get
2:05:24
Speaker 2: that next goal and can you extend a lead? I
2:05:28
Speaker 2: think that's going to be the telltale sign. Blood pressure
2:05:31
Speaker 2: is going to be through the roof. Can't wait for it, Bell,
2:05:33
Speaker 2: It's going to be awesome tonight.
2:05:34
Speaker 1: Has Home Ice mattered in this series in your opinion?
2:05:37
Speaker 1: Or is it pretty even both places?
2:05:40
Speaker 2: I think if you injected John Tortorella and Andre Turney
2:05:45
Speaker 2: with true serum they would they would talk to you
2:05:48
Speaker 2: about the matchups they're using when when they have home ice,
2:05:51
Speaker 2: because when you have home ice, you have the last change,
2:05:53
Speaker 2: which allows you to control matchups a little bit more.
2:05:56
Speaker 2: So I think they would kind of be able to
2:05:59
Speaker 2: take you through how the matchups change on home ice
2:06:02
Speaker 2: versus on the road. But the Mammoths have won once
2:06:05
Speaker 2: in Vegas. Vegas has won one out of two games
2:06:08
Speaker 2: here and here in Utah. So to be honest, no,
2:06:12
Speaker 2: it hasn't mattered in the win lost column.
2:06:14
Speaker 1: Mike, have a great call tonight, soak it in. Hopefully
2:06:17
Speaker 1: you're calling one in Vegas this weekend and I'll be listening.
2:06:20
Speaker 1: Talk to you soon.
2:06:21
Speaker 2: Banks for clothes on Saturday, so I had to hit
2:06:24
Speaker 2: up my bank and pull out some cash for the
2:06:26
Speaker 2: crafts table. Today we're headed back to Vegas. Baby, can't wait.
2:06:29
Speaker 1: I love your confidence. Twenty two black on the Roulette. Okay,
2:06:34
Speaker 1: twenty two black, I love it.
2:06:38
Speaker 2: That sounds perfect.
2:06:39
Speaker 1: I got my money there already. Thanks Mike folt to
2:06:42
Speaker 1: with us here on the Shad O'Connell show today. He'll
2:06:44
Speaker 1: have the call tonight just after eight o'clock at the
2:06:46
Speaker 1: Delta Center. The Mammoth and the Golden Nights. We're live
2:06:49
Speaker 1: today for another little while here at Advanced Window Product
2:06:52
Speaker 1: Sporting at anniversary celebration. Nate Orchard's with us. We know
2:06:56
Speaker 1: Nate loves football. Nate loves track too, because his daughter
2:06:59
Speaker 1: was running down at the I don't know, the Provo
2:07:01
Speaker 1: Invitational or something down there this morning and she ran. Well,
2:07:05
Speaker 1: my question for you is how much of a hockey
2:07:07
Speaker 1: fan have you become in the last two years?
2:07:09
Speaker 4: You know, I went to my first ever ever hockey
2:07:13
Speaker 4: game at any level.
2:07:14
Speaker 7: It was a Madmoths game a few months ago.
2:07:17
Speaker 4: And boy, I tell you what I was just I
2:07:20
Speaker 4: was blown away.
2:07:21
Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it.
2:07:23
Speaker 4: From the the the athleticism to the the way they
2:07:27
Speaker 4: moved their strength or speed.
2:07:29
Speaker 7: And I didn't really.
2:07:30
Speaker 4: Realize the substitution and how quickly they substitute. So I
2:07:33
Speaker 4: really had a fond appreciation for the game. The folks
2:07:35
Speaker 4: I was with some work folks man. I was asking
2:07:38
Speaker 4: all kinds of questions, and then the fans in front
2:07:40
Speaker 4: of me, I'm asking It was like a ten year
2:07:42
Speaker 4: old kid who played hockey.
2:07:43
Speaker 7: I'm asking him questions it were.
2:07:45
Speaker 4: I was just really fascinated in a manner by the
2:07:48
Speaker 4: just the whole process, because I mean I'm talking about
2:07:51
Speaker 4: just share athleticism and strength and endurance.
2:07:54
Speaker 7: And I was just blown away. Honestly, if you.
2:07:56
Speaker 1: Thought you guys rolled defensive ends in and out of
2:07:59
Speaker 1: the lineup a lot up utah back in the day,
2:08:01
Speaker 1: it's nothing like those line.
2:08:02
Speaker 4: Ships down there fights and some of it is just
2:08:04
Speaker 4: like not stage, but like, yo, this is the guy
2:08:07
Speaker 4: who kind of starts it and or you know, if
2:08:09
Speaker 4: they mess up their main guy, then you send in
2:08:11
Speaker 4: the bruiser.
2:08:11
Speaker 7: And I'm just learning all of it.
2:08:13
Speaker 1: And the best part of it is they don't forget.
2:08:15
Speaker 1: You might take their dude out in the first period,
2:08:18
Speaker 1: but they're gonna find you in the second or third period.
2:08:21
Speaker 1: And even the score. If you're safe, you are not safe.
2:08:24
Speaker 1: Your head has to be honest.
2:08:26
Speaker 7: This is wait wait, how did that just happen? Like, well,
2:08:28
Speaker 7: it happened earlier on and they did this and that guy.
2:08:30
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh wait what so they said in the
2:08:32
Speaker 4: muscle and that's what they're there for. I'm like, man,
2:08:34
Speaker 4: sign me up a hockey. I don't know how well
2:08:36

Speaker 1: apply for that, but maybe you can land that. Thanks
2:14:55
Speaker 1: for the text message. Eight seven seven three five three
2:14:58
Speaker 1: zero seven hundred, Hey Bill, resident BYU fan here. Grew
2:15:04
Speaker 1: up in southern California, so I've been a kingspan and
2:15:07
Speaker 1: now a Mammoth fan since I was about five years old.
2:15:10
Speaker 1: So hockey is nothing new to me, but still exciting.
2:15:14
Speaker 1: Now here's what I would say, Darren, the resident BYU fan,
2:15:19
Speaker 1: You've got to pick. You grew up in southern California,
2:15:24
Speaker 1: and I get that. I get it, But you can't
2:15:27
Speaker 1: be a Kings fan and a Mammoth fan. That's what
2:15:30
Speaker 1: we call sports bigamy. I talked about this on these
2:15:34
Speaker 1: radio airwaves for twenty five years. You can be a
2:15:38
Speaker 1: Kings fan because that's where you grew up and that's
2:15:40
Speaker 1: where you're that's that's where you became a hockey fan.
2:15:43
Speaker 1: Or you can be a Mammoth fan because you live
2:15:47
Speaker 1: here in Salt Lake now and they're the local team.
2:15:50
Speaker 1: But I will say you can't be both. You've got
2:15:55
Speaker 1: to make a choice. If that makes sense. I didn't
2:15:59
Speaker 1: make the I'm just enforcing them here. Oh. Darren followed up.
2:16:05
Speaker 1: Darren says, it's all mammoth, Bill, It's all mammoth now,
2:16:08
Speaker 1: especially since Trevor Lewis has retired. Trevor Lewis, for those
2:16:11
Speaker 1: of you that don't know, is a local guy. Trevor's
2:16:13
Speaker 1: a Salt Lake guy, a Utah guy who played for
2:16:16
Speaker 1: the LA Kings. In fact, I think he won a
2:16:18
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup with the LA Kings. He did because he
2:16:20
Speaker 1: brought it back here to Utah. But yeah, but he's
2:16:24
Speaker 1: retired now. I would bet Trevor's probably enjoying having an
2:16:28
Speaker 1: NHL team in his Homestand I don't know if Trevor
2:16:30
Speaker 1: lives here now or if he stayed in the LA
2:16:31
Speaker 1: or what. But yeah, so, Darren, good, you made your choice.
2:16:36
Speaker 1: My best friend in the world. Matthew Burke Finn again
2:16:39
Speaker 1: Esquire grew up in Saint Louis. Grew up in Saint
2:16:46
Speaker 1: Louis as a Blues fan, went to the Blues games
2:16:49
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. His family had season tickets to
2:16:51
Speaker 1: see the Blues. But Matt has lived in Colorado now
2:16:55
Speaker 1: for the better part of I think thirty years on
2:16:58
Speaker 1: and off. He's an avalanche man. He made that choice,
2:17:02
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that. I appreciate my friend Matt not
2:17:05
Speaker 1: being a sports bigamist. Eight seven seven three five three
2:17:10
Speaker 1: zero seven hundred, Hey Bill, who will Texas Tech quarterback play? Well?
2:17:15
Speaker 1: Who will the Texas Tech quarterback? Oh, the Texas Tech
2:17:18
Speaker 1: quarterback play this year? I don't know that it doesn't
2:17:22
Speaker 1: look good for it based on what the allegations have been.
2:17:26
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to sit here and try to
2:17:27
Speaker 1: explain to you what the NCAA may or may not do.
2:17:31
Speaker 1: But if you're talking about Brendan Soresby the allegations at
2:17:35
Speaker 1: least that have been reported publicly don't look good for him.
2:17:38
Speaker 1: And by the fact that they have I guess what
2:17:41
Speaker 1: they would call receipts of him betting on his own
2:17:44
Speaker 1: team at Indiana back in the day. That's that's not good.
2:17:49
Speaker 1: So if I had the hazard a guess, and it's
2:17:51
Speaker 1: only a guess, I would say probably not. That would
2:17:54
Speaker 1: probably mean that Will Hammond, the backup quarterback, the guy
2:17:58
Speaker 1: that actually came in and played really well against Utah
2:18:01
Speaker 1: last year, would probably be the guy. But he's not
2:18:06
Speaker 1: going to be ready because he tore I think it
2:18:08
Speaker 1: was an acl about midway through the season, not too
2:18:11
Speaker 1: long after he helped Texas Tech beat Utah. I don't know.
2:18:15
Speaker 1: At least the stories I've read, Joey Maguire has been
2:18:18
Speaker 1: publican saying they're not expecting him back till probably at
2:18:21
Speaker 1: least game three. They've added some other quarterbacks to that
2:18:25
Speaker 1: quarterback room, so they could probably patch it up. They
2:18:30
Speaker 1: don't have a tough non conference schedule, but as far
2:18:32
Speaker 1: as Soresby goes, it doesn't At this point in time,
2:18:34
Speaker 1: at least, it doesn't look good. Oh, my old buddy,
2:18:39
Speaker 1: Derek the mailman, Hey Derek, Hey, Bill, Mine and Dale
2:18:45
Speaker 1: Murphy's Braves are off to their best start in twenty
2:18:48
Speaker 1: six years. Don't forget you, Odale a lunch. I texted
2:18:52
Speaker 1: Dale the other day to tell him that I wanted
2:18:54
Speaker 1: Dale to come up and do a baseball game with me,
2:18:58
Speaker 1: a Utah baseball game at the new part here soon.
2:19:00
Speaker 1: I thought it'd be fun to have Murph on board,
2:19:02
Speaker 1: and Bill Kennerberg's going to be out of town for
2:19:04
Speaker 1: a game. But I did tell Dale that I do
2:19:06
Speaker 1: owe my lunch. Because the Braves took two of three
2:19:09
Speaker 1: from the Royals in that opening series of the season.
2:19:13
Speaker 1: My Royal's not playing so well, not making me happy.
2:19:17
Speaker 1: But Derek, thank you so much. Yes, congratulations to your braves.
2:19:22
Speaker 1: Text message, Hey, Bill, is Dion done after this season? Again?
2:19:28
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I assume you're meaning Dion Sanders
2:19:33
Speaker 1: coach prime Deon Sanders is the coach of Colorado. I
2:19:36
Speaker 1: don't know that. That's not for me to say. That
2:19:41
Speaker 1: would probably be more if it happened, it would probably
2:19:44
Speaker 1: be Dion's decision more than colleague because he's been even
2:19:47
Speaker 1: though the record hasn't been there, he's been really good
2:19:49
Speaker 1: for Colorado football. So anyway, thank you for the text message.
2:19:54
Speaker 1: But that's that's beyond my pale, beyond my pay grade.
2:19:59
Speaker 1: And I have nothing to do with Colorado athletics, so
2:20:01
Speaker 1: that I don't know. But the last couple of years
2:20:04
Speaker 1: have been a little rough, so it's going to be
2:20:06
Speaker 1: interesting to see if they have a bounce back year
2:20:07
Speaker 1: this year. Eight seven seven three five three zero seven hundred.
