Krista Blunk from the Pac-12 Network catches up with Dave

Ramping up for a busy March, Krista Blunk and Dave shared thoughts on the 50th anniversary of Title IX and the pioneers of women’s sports. Blunk also offers her two cents on the Juwan Howard situation, following the altercation in the handshake line with Wisconsin’s Greg Gard. The topic brought up the one time Blunk was ejected from a game as a Hall of Fame player at Evansville. According to Blunk, all signs point to a rematch between Stanford and South Carolina in the women’s NCAA Tournament. Blunk and Dave also discussed West Coast Conference basketball with Saint Mary’s prepping for a showdown with top-ranked Gonzaga, led by 6th year point guard Tommy Kuhse. She reflects on her experience broadcasting the Summer Olympics for the very first time and the love of dogs. Good broadcaster and even better person.

Pac-12 Network’s Krista Blunk on anniversary of Title IX, Juwan Howard, St. Mary’s chances and Olympic Games broadcasting debut

"You're supposed to be a good sport. Someone is going to win the game and somebody's going to lose the game...I just remember and athletic director of mine saying 'you can't be so hard on yourself if you miss a shot. If you're willing to take the shot, it's either going to go in or it's not. And if you can't handle those odds then you shouldn't take the shot.' And if you can't handle the odds of 'you might lose this game" also then maybe you shouldn't be a part of it. I think that we ought to be able to fist bump or shake hands and respect what an opponent is capable of doing maybe better than you were capable of doing that day."

Filmmaker Shawn Flanagan on The Moretti Brothers and the need for brutal honesty

"We're trying to figure out what movie she goes hey let's see this movie here. It's Rocky 3. I go 'I don't want to see a boxing movie' and and I didn't I did not want to see a boxing movie I wanted to see something like you know Somewhere in Time or On Golden Pond or something like that, right? So we ended up going to see Rocky 3 and that movie changed my life... I remember the movie opening it said 'starring Sylvester Stallone' and then I remember it said 'written and directed by Sylvester Stallone' and I go and this is when I'm doing extra work in movies and I'm trying to figure out what I'm gonna do. Am I going to be a makeup artist? Am I gonna be a stunt man? Am I gonna be an actor? What am I? I know I want to do something. And I say 'I want to do that." And not to mention the shape that he was in...I've never seen any human being like this in my life so that movie changed my life and it made me do the things that I've done in in the film world."

KUBE 93.3 morning host Strawberry on Russell Wilson’s future, mouth-taping and man-eating pigs

"We're fascinated by random things. I'll see a weird Tik Tok like this woman who said, 'I just learned that pigs can eat people and to this day in 2022, farmers are having heart attacks in the pig pen and they die because the pigs eat them.' And so I said, 'That's crazy. That is so random. How weird.'...and we had a bunch of calls and text messages and e-mails like 'That does happen. There's a First 48 episode about it' or "My uncle was on a farm and it's true. He lost his brother to a pig eating accident.' So it just goes down a rabbit hole. "

Kilwien’s Attitude of Gratitude Propels Pro Soccer Career

On passion for golf: "It's not a team sport. I think it's all on me. So it's probably one of the first times, maybe the first thing I've ever done where it's all on me. So If I play bad, it's on me. If I'm good it's on me. As a team, we're winning together, we're playing well together, playing bad together. The second part, it's a nice mental break from soccer...In any aspect of life, you can't really harp and (focus ) on one thing all the time."

Oscar Frayer Invitational emotional for Moreau Catholic’s Frank Knight

"When I first started, it was all about the wins. That's all I cared about was figuring out how I could win and a lot of the mentors were telling me when I was younger, 'Don't worry about the wins. The wins are byproducts of what you do. Just do what you do and do it right the wins are going to come. Don't worry about it.' And I was young and dumb and didn't really understand how to coach...Now I'm getting to the point where I understand what they were trying to tell me."

Sac Bee’s Joe Davidson on Luke Walton firing and Sacramento college football

"You gotta draft well and the Kings have had too many clunker drafts. Too many misses. Quincy Douby to Thomas Robinson to Jimmer Fredette. Nick Stauskas. Marvin Bagley. And that's a lot of players. Nobody can say the Kings didn't give them a chance. It's just they don't fit. Good players but it's hard to find the right fit. And the Kings have to have upper management leadership to forecast better and draft better. That's supposed to be their job."
