This was tweeted out by 71 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 5: one of those Trojan football accounts, But it's all over 72 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 5: Twitter today. You know, USC Today's word of the day 73 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 5: is defensive coordinator. Now, you could, in my opinion, hire 74 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 5: Vince Lombardi to be USC's defensive coordinator or whoever the 75 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 5: greatest defensive mind of today. The coach at Seattle, the 76 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: Seahawks McDonald, you know, some great defensive mind. They they 77 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 5: couldn't even help us see that much. They hired Deanton Lynn, 78 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 5: who's supposed to be a great coordinator, and I don't 79 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 5: think anybody can help us see that much defensively because 80 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 5: of the way they practice, the mentality of the head 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 5: coach and the mentality of the offense. But you know, Tim, 82 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 5: that Deanton Lynn left in a very awkward way and 83 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 5: didn't coach in the bowl game. 84 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 6: What was awkward about it him in a press conference 85 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 6: saying I'm here at the bowl game, and then literally 86 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 6: the next morning he was gone on a plane to 87 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 6: have all leaving for Pinston. 88 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, so yeah, his alma mater. But and they 89 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 5: gave him a better deal. But Deanton Lynn is no 90 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 5: longer the decordinator at US see Lincoln Riley can hire 91 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 5: the guy that called. Of course, the players just like 92 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 5: they wanted Dante wanted the guy who's already there. They 93 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 5: don't want anybody new coming and upsetting the apple cart. 94 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 5: But it is official and confirmed by multiple sources that 95 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 5: former TCU head coach Gary Patterson, the Old Hedgehog, has 96 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 5: expressed interest in the job and has been in talks 97 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: with USC about the open defensive coordinator position. Gary Patterson 98 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 5: coached for twenty plus years at TCU and had unprecedented success. 99 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 5: There was one hundred and eighty one and seventy nine overall, 100 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: won four Mountain West Championships, a Big Twelve Championship, a 101 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 5: Conference USA Championship, and was one of the best secondary 102 00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 5: defensive coordinator, secondary oriented defensive coordinator, calling the plays on 103 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 5: the sideline, super engaged, hunched over. If you remember the 104 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 5: way he used to look calling games and when he 105 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 5: was at TCU, he was really talented. He's also a 106 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 5: very difficult personality and became more and more crotchety like 107 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 5: all of us and weird as time went on and 108 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 5: he continued at TCU. 109 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 4: If you know what I'm saying, do you know what 110 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 4: I'm saying. 111 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 5: Oh, and he had a lot of success, but just 112 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 5: drove people crazy. And I've seen a few examples behind 113 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 5: the scenes of him just totally crashing out and doing 114 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 5: weird stuff that you don't normally see. And no one 115 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 5: else has really hired him since he left tc Remember 116 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 5: he did a Western album. Remember that he did an album. 117 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 5: He got sired in twenty twenty my dad, Yeah, twenty 118 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 5: twenty one, And then in twenty twenty two he worked 119 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 5: with sark as a special assistant an analyst, and then 120 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 5: he did the same job in twenty twenty four. So 121 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 5: maybe the TCU money's dried up now I don't know 122 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 5: the contract details, And now he wants a real job 123 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 5: and he's ready to be a coordinator again and hasn't coordinated. 124 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 5: You know, he's been a head coach forever. And if 125 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 5: he goes back into somebody's program in Lincoln Riley's the 126 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 5: head coach, it's just hard to imagine how that would 127 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 5: work out. But you know, I mean, he had Sonny Comby, 128 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 5: who's the head coach at Louisiana Tech and a noted 129 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 5: air raid Mike Leach. 130 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 4: Guy. 131 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 5: He had Sonny Comby, as his offensive coordinator at TCU 132 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 5: for a while, so maybe he's used to working with 133 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 5: air raid types from Leech's tree, like Lincoln Riley. But 134 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 5: there it is. Gary Patterson, one of the true characters 135 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 5: of college football, seemingly interested in the defensive coordinator job 136 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 5: at USC. 137 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 6: Now he's got West Coast ties. Remember he was a 138 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 6: defensive coordinator. 139 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 5: He was at cal Pauly with a lot of those guys, 140 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 5: or maybe not cal Pauly, maybe Davis Cossacks. 141 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was at Davis too. 142 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 6: Well, if he could rock the visor like he did, 143 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 6: I mean, I'm all for that. I love a good 144 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 6: visor on the head coach. He's one of my favorite coaches. 145 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 6: And I loved watching his secondary play. I mean, so 146 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 6: rarely would you ever see a guy uncovered in the secondary. 147 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 6: Quarterbacks would have to make really accurate throws into small 148 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 6: spaces because he was on top of it, and he 149 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 6: would wait till the last second to put that secondary 150 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 6: call to the corners and safeties and linebackers when he 151 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 6: was coordinating the defense, so much so that sometimes they 152 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 6: would just wear a no call and play it in 153 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 6: vanilla because they snapped it too fast. And the guys 154 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 6: are waiting for the calling. He's a heck of a 155 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 6: technician on the defensive side. But I don't know how 156 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 6: that helps Lincoln Riley because of just the mentality of 157 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 6: the whole deal. But interesting as USC looks for a 158 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 6: new defensive coordinator as Deant and Lynn used them as 159 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 6: a stepping stone as well as UCLA. 160 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 4: All right, it's time for the number of the days. 161 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: Top number of the day. 162 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 6: Number of the day is not many? Yeah, not many 163 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 6: people have been going to UCLA basketball games this year. 164 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 6: Despite what's the top twenty five team that Mick Cronin 165 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 6: has shout out to. 166 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 4: Are they still top twenty five? 167 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 6: They've now just been out of the top twenty five 168 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 6: after bat they lost like two straight. They lost it 169 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 6: at Iowa and they lost at Wisconsin. 170 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 5: Over there, hasn't Josh Lewin been getting torn to pieces 171 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 5: on air? 172 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 6: It was not pretty after the Iowa game, Like I 173 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 6: listened to it. 174 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: That he was real friendly after Wisconsin to trying to 175 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 4: make up for it. 176 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 6: I think. So that's what I understand. Mark huskas And 177 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 6: is this tweet link and it caught my attention just 178 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 6: about a half an hour ago, and his press conference 179 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 6: today with the Beat Riders. Not a lot of them 180 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 6: cover UCLA basketball, but Ben Boltch, Ben Bultch, is the 181 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 6: only one, our friend at the LA Times, still covers 182 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 6: the team. Yeah, he did ask a lot of questions 183 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 6: today and he asked him this question about attendance. Now, 184 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 6: I preferce this by the fact that UCLA has been 185 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 6: in and out of the top twenty five. UCLA is 186 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 6: ten and five on the season in college basketball. I 187 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 6: know a lot of people are we're not. 188 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 5: Really paying attention to it because you're not working with UCLA, 189 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 5: like usually if you're up at night doing brewing talk 190 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 5: or something. 191 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 4: You know, it's more part of our. 192 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 5: Daily weekly routine, and we talk about how the Bruins 193 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 5: are doing. I don't really know, even though I consider 194 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 5: myself to be close personal friends. 195 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: With Mick Cronin. No, but I don't really know what's 196 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 4: going on. 197 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 6: No, they're ten and five on the season. They're two 198 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 6: and two in Big Ten play. 199 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 4: So things could be going better, right. 200 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 6: They beat Washington in Oregon before the holidays, that weird 201 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 6: start to the conference play. But since instance the start 202 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 6: of the new year, they went on the road, lost 203 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 6: at Iowa, lost to Wisconsin. They're home against Maryland tomorrow 204 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 6: night a Fox if you want to watch it. Dave 205 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 6: Roberts is the honorary captain. They're going to celebrate the 206 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 6: former UCLA outfielder and Dodger manager. 207 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 4: They have like some dorky T shirt with him and 208 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 4: Mick on it. 209 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 6: I kind of like it. So if you donate to 210 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 6: the Men of Westwood, you get a T shirt. So 211 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 6: if I can have twenty bucks, maybe Petros, I'll donate. Okay, Well, 212 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 6: today Mick was asked by Ben Bulch about the crowd. 213 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: And I'm not giving bucks to the Man of Westwood. 214 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 6: The crowded. Paul's been very underwhelming. Now they had a 215 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 6: winner break serly, Well, it's been this way forever. Yeah, 216 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 6: but you had two big ten games against Washington and 217 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 6: Oregon and they had about six thousand, seven thousand people 218 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 6: at those games. 219 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 4: But it was Christmas break. 220 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 6: Well it was actually before Christmas break the UC riverside 221 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 6: the UC Riverside game, they had forty four hundred people. 222 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 6: That was during Christmas break and they've been on the 223 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 6: road since. So it's been a little underwhelming the attendance 224 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 6: this year. With more than a little it's supposed to 225 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 6: be a big year. For UCLA basketball. They put a 226 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 6: lot of money in the nil it's a top twenty 227 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 6: five team for the most part. Here's Mick Cronin asked 228 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 6: by Ben Bulch about that. 229 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 4: What did he say? It's I don't hear anything. 230 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 5: Now. 231 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 6: He was asked about the crowd and he his quote 232 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 6: to Ben Bolch was you need to speak to Martin Jarmon, 233 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 6: the athletic director at u c l A. And then 234 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 6: he kind of walked it back a little bit and said, Hey, 235 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 6: you know, it's the winter break. It's tough with the crowds, 236 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 6: you know, but anytime you get a good crowd, especially 237 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 6: in college basketball, it's a winning experience and a great 238 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 6: experience for the fans and the players. But we get it. 239 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 6: We're in a professional city and we're in a city 240 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 6: that you know, it's got the Lakers and the clip 241 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 6: it locked down. That's okay. Uh No. We got a 242 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 6: computer monitor though, making that that lockdown winning at half time. 243 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 6: We were winning a halftime Mick, and then my computer 244 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 6: froze up. And Ronnie's trying, and bless him, he's trying 245 00:12:59,600 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 6: to get this. 246 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 4: When we can ask. 247 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 6: Usually you do, coach, and you had a little bit 248 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 6: to say to the Ben Bolts of the La Times. 249 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 6: But yeah, he was asked about the crowd and his 250 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 6: first immediate response was great, go ask Martin Jarmon, the 251 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 6: athletic director. I don't know what Martin Jarmon's going to do, Petros. 252 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 4: About lower the prices? 253 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 6: I mean lower the price is lower. I mean what 254 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 6: is that really going to do to help out the 255 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 6: situation with the attendance. 256 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 5: It's a way Ralfi gets going. Wait till you see 257 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 5: all the kids down at SELFI having the time of 258 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 5: their lives, like Sergeia. 259 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 6: Well this is for college basketball. It's a different story. 260 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 4: Now they should be able to get drink and walk 261 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: over there. 262 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 6: Here's Mick, let's see what we got here. 263 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 4: Here's here is you know what what could be done 264 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 4: to get it? 265 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a Martin Jorman question. 266 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 6: What does it. 267 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: Mean to have you've been there with great crowds? 268 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 3: What does that mean when you do have it? 269 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 2: Well? 270 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 7: Well I would tell you this. There's it's the simplest 271 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 7: question ever. I mean, having a great home crowd is awesome. 272 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 7: Simplest question. Yeah, I don't think you can expect it 273 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 7: over your holiday break. Okay, all right, so you know, 274 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 7: we've been on break for a long time, right, so 275 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 7: you know those you know, those type of games. But 276 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 7: when you're in a pro city, you're probably gonna have 277 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 7: to wait till conference play and your kids are back 278 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 7: at school. 279 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 6: All right, there's men. 280 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 7: That's just the way. 281 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 6: Thank you, Right, that was awesome. Our computer froze up 282 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 6: and Ronnie fixed it. 283 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 4: I appreciate this, says. 284 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 5: The prices of most games at Polly are insanely high, really, 285 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 5: and they. 286 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 4: Don't let you go into the lower bowl even if 287 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 4: it's empty. 288 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 6: Now that talk to Martin Jarman about that is ridiculous 289 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 6: if that's the case. 290 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 4: So it's something to think about. 291 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 6: If you're getting a Pauli pavilion that's a third full, 292 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 6: meaning two thirds of Paulie's empty, you're not letting people 293 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 6: just go down and sit in the one hunderd. 294 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, you better come up with the little Caesars pizza 295 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 5: pizza special to try to stimulate sales. You know, this 296 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 5: is one of the problems they have in San Diego. 297 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 5: At the San Diego State game. San Diego State football 298 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 5: built that new stadium and they hired a new coach 299 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 5: and they had a very good football team in twenty 300 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 5: twenty five, they won like ten games with Sean Lewis, 301 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 5: and they couldn't put anybody in there. And the reason 302 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 5: is because the prices are so high. The community is 303 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 5: rejecting it because they're not they're not making it affordable 304 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 5: for people to. 305 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 4: Go to the games. 306 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 5: Here's then they have the soccer team down there that 307 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 5: plays in the same stadium. Prices aren't as high, and 308 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 5: they fill the thing up and they're shooting off fireworks 309 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 5: and it's a Latino fun fest. And somehow the stecas 310 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 5: can't find a way to pull that off. And part 311 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 5: of it is because the prices are too damp high. 312 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 6: At Paulie there's the one hunter section, the lower bowl, 313 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 6: and then there's the upper section, the two hundred section. 314 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 6: The get in price for UCLA Maryland basketball tomorrow night 315 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 6: in a corner section two twenty four is thirty one dollars. 316 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 4: That's not bad. 317 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 6: That's a get in price set up in the tip 318 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 6: top corner.

Not that it isn't every year, but it's 450 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: just when you go on the road, man, it's it's different. 451 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: And I said this last year, Pete, and I think 452 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 2: I said it to you and Matt. You know, when 453 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 2: you get used to playing in the PAC twelve. And 454 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 2: this is in disrespecting the Pac twelve because I was 455 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: a part of that forever. But when you go to 456 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: and you play in front of three thousand people. You 457 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: go to Stanford there's fifteen hundred. You go to Washington 458 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: State there's two thousand, you kind of get used to that. 459 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 2: I know, guys aren't there forever, but even for a 460 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: year or two, and then you're going to these Big 461 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: ten arenas and they are packed fifteen thousand. So it's 462 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 2: a different deal. And I'm not reading too much into 463 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: them losing a couple of games on the road, but 464 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 2: I just think it's going to be like that. I 465 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 2: still think they're an NCAA tournament team. I still think 466 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: they're going to finish in the upper half of the 467 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: Big Ten. But there's no gimmeis in the Big Ten 468 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: like there was in the Pac twelve for years. 469 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 6: Speaking of crowds, don that's a perfect lead in until 470 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 6: we were talking about Mick Cronin was asked by Ben 471 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 6: Boltz today about the lack of crowds at UCLA home 472 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 6: games this year despite having a really good team, and 473 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 6: his first response was, go ask Martin Jarmon, and then 474 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 6: he alluded a little bit and said, Yeah, it's tough 475 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 6: because we're on the quarter system and the long winter break, 476 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 6: and you know, we go on the road. As you 477 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 6: mentioned the Big Ten. They just had crowds at Iowa, 478 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 6: really big crowds on the road and lost. Now they 479 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 6: come back tomorrow and they face Maryland, a really good 480 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 6: team in the Big ten, and who knows who shows up? 481 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 6: Is there anything that can be done at Paul's at 482 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 6: the ticket prices? And then they got a good product 483 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 6: on the floor. 484 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't I don't know what happened because it's 485 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 2: been like that. It's been like a slow lead tim 486 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 2: for a long time. It really has. And there's a 487 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: couple of years in the Alford era where they didn't 488 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 2: win and then howling at the end where they didn't win. 489 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 2: But it's not like they haven't won and Mick has won. 490 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: I mean they went to a final four what three 491 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 2: years ago, So I don't I don't know what it 492 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 2: is is that the fan experience at the game is 493 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 2: that did a lot of really die hard UCLA fans 494 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 2: when I was playing, there were younger, they got older. 495 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: Are they still around? Do the kids that you know? 496 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: I'm assuming a lot of those families that have season 497 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: tickets got passed down in the family. Those kids just 498 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: aren't basketball fans. I don't think it's one thing. I 499 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 2: think it's a lot of things. But you can't point 500 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 2: to the fact that they haven't won. I mean they're 501 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: you know, they're not top five in the country every year, 502 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: but they have one and been consistently winning with Mick 503 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: since he's been there. 504 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 5: Doc McClain, our guest, you heard what he said to me. No, 505 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 5: I went to the game for free, paid. 506 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 6: To sit in the lower bowl behind the scorers table, 507 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 6: and that section done at Polly It's two hundred and 508 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 6: forty five dollars again in price is thirty one to 509 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 6: sit up in the corners of Paul Pavilion.

You know, maybe maybe 514 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 2: restart that and lower the prices. See if people come back. 515 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: I mean it's worth it's I would say this because 516 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: Mick is a very good coach and we all love 517 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: him and he wins, So why not try something to 518 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 2: get people back in there, you know, watching lower the 519 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 2: prices way down and then see what happens if everybody 520 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 2: starts coming back. Didn't you know it was the ticket 521 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 2: prices Start. 522 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 5: With that, guys, that's Don McClain.

Don McClay our guests on the 524 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 5: Peches and Buddy Show at m FI seventy LA Sports. 525 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 5: It's fun to talk a little college basketball. But I 526 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 5: don't know how much attention you've been paying to the 527 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 5: Lakers up in Eugene, Oregon and traveling around down but 528 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 5: it feels like they have somebody out every night. 529 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 4: Yes. 530 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 2: He Not to interrupt you, but I was actually in 531 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: your spot last night. I was it was like the 532 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 2: olden days. I did a game at gil Calliseem with 533 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: mikey Am last night, believe it or not. 534 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 6: Where to state. 535 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: Oh my god in corn Alice, you know, I've never 536 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 4: been in that building. 537 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 2: Really. No, it's a it's a it's a historical monument. 538 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: I guess they call it so it's pretty it's pretty original. 539 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,239 Speaker 2: About five years ago they put in a new like 540 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 2: jumbo tron in the middle hanging from the ceiling, but 541 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: they can't touch the actual building. There's no air conditioning 542 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 2: in there. I think there's heating, but no air And 543 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: they can't do anything to the building because it's a 544 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: historical monument. I found that out like last year or 545 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: the year before. 546 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 5: You and the Yam are sweating it out and corn Allie, Yeah, 547 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 5: that's pretty. 548 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: Good freeze outside eighty five inside. 549 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 4: Wow. 550 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 5: Do you think it will will be a problem for 551 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 5: the Lakers down that they're just not consistently healthy and 552 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 5: you know, it doesn't seem like they're ever able to 553 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 5: kind of play together. 554 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 2: Yes, And I also think consistently defending and consistently league, 555 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 2: you know, bringing maximum effort. I mean, they're not as 556 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: good as the teams above them in the West, so 557 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: if they are going to beat them, it's going to 558 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: have to be with effort, execution, defending, and so you 559 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: don't just turn that on. We've talked about that for 560 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 2: years at any level, but especially in the NBA, where 561 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 2: it's okay, it's almost April, let's turn it up and 562 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 2: be a really good defensive team. It doesn't really work 563 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: like that. So in terms of the Lakers, you know, 564 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 2: watching them, I don't watch them a lot that I 565 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 2: watch them occasionally. It just doesn't seem like there's the 566 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: urgency that's necessary to be a championship team. They're a 567 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 2: good team and they'll make the playoffs easily, but if 568 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: you're talking about the Lakers winning a championship, I just 569 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: don't think there's enough urgency, especially on the defensive end. 570 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 6: Donnie, you got the Clippers and baw and Brooklyn to 571 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 6: take on the nets coming up later on this afternoon, 572 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 6: the clips of you know, starting to win a little bit. 573 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 6: There's still ten games under five hundred. But Tyleru was 574 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 6: asked about why this team has turned things around and 575 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 6: he says, it's easy. We're guys are starting to play 576 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 6: together a little bit more. Was that just the case? 577 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 6: You think early on the ins and out to the 578 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 6: guys in the lineup and the rotation was a big factor. 579 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 6: They couldn't get any consistency. 580 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: I don't really believe that they're one of the deepest 581 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: teams in the league. And yes they had a couple 582 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: of guys in and out, But when the reason you 583 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: have the deepest team or you want to have the 584 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: deepest team in the league, is your margin for error 585 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 2: gets bigger. So if a guy or two is out, 586 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: you can stand and win, Like I would get it 587 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: to him if they were five hundred, Yeah, maybe I 588 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: would get it right. Okay, Yeah he had some injuries 589 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: and bring us together and all that stuff, But the 590 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: way they started it wasn't that. And what I find 591 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: really fascinating and kind of the timing of it. And 592 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 2: I've been looked into his contract situation, but Kawhi Leonard 593 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 2: has led them in scoring the last twelve or thirteen games. 594 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: After seven years of being in LA or six years 595 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: or whatever, it's been all of a sudden, they're finally 596 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: getting what they paid for. In Kawhi Leonard leading them 597 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 2: and scoring every night. And you know, during the stress, 598 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 2: they haven't won every game, but I think they won 599 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: what six in a row. Yeah, And I think that's 600 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 2: what everybody thought was going to happen when they brought 601 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 2: him here. And it's just been, you know, one thing 602 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: after another and in and out of the lineup and 603 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: load management and playing not playing, and all of a sudden, 604 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 2: now he's playing and playing really well. I just find 605 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: that interesting. 606 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 6: He's in year two of that three year extension that 607 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 6: he signed, so after next year, at the age of 608 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 6: thirty five, will be a free agent again. 609 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, he seems to be scoring the basketball now. 610 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 4: Look it. 611 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 5: If you saw Don McLain and Pepperdine at that game, 612 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 5: I know it was well attended. 613 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 4: Just know that that ticket was free. 614 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: Okay, it wasn't well attended. Petros I feel bad. And 615 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: Shilding's a good friend. He's the head coach at Pepperdine. 616 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: I've known for a long time. But there was If 617 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 2: there was no Saint Mary's fans, and I am not exaggerating, 618 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: if there was no Saint Mary's fans there there would 619 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 2: have been one hundred and fifty people there. 620 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 9: Whoa let's go ways wow, good look well of that, note, 621 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 9: this is college basketball very healthy here in town. 622 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 2: Well right, they are hold on. I should say this though. 623 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: They are building a brand new or there's almost finished, 624 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 2: a brand new, state of the art facility, a rec center. 625 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 2: So it's a dual purpose where it's the arena for 626 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: Pepperdine basketball and volleyball and all that, but attached to 627 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 2: it as like a student rec center.
