you doing today, Mark?

50
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,479
Speaker 4: I'm good man, and I only dream about being as

51
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:12,520
styling as you are on Man, that that would be amazing.

52
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 5: You're the ultimate of style.

53
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: Maybe not the ultimate style. I did talk with Trey

54
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:20,840
Stewart a lot about, you know, swagging. I took a

55
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,639
when I was in school before I graduate April, I

56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,360
took a dynamics clothing class. It's one of the student

57
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,280
family Life too eighty classes, and they taught me a

58
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,120
lot about fashion.

59
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,199
Speaker 2: So I now am able to mix things.

60
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 3: So look, I tell everybody, Look, women care about two things.

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,439
Speaker 2: If you feed him I'm serious, if you.

62
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: Feed them, and if they don't have to tell you

63
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,120
how to dress and the clothe yourself and hygiene. You

64
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:43,759
do those two things you come with confidence. Everything else

65
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,000
is history. Man, You got it.

66
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 5: Man.

67
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 6: I wish I'd have had you tell me that back

68
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:50,159
when I was a young man. It would have been

69
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:54,280
helpful information. But yeah, I love I love Man Tray's stuff. Man,

70
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,719
he's got some cool stuff.

71
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 5: And my daughter.

72
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,159
Speaker 4: Actually she's painted some some.

73
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 5: Tennis shoes and stuff really cool.

74
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: And she makes her own shirts and patterns and stuff. Man,

75
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:08,120
so I'm into that stuff.

76
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 5: So that's cool.

77
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, Yeah, fashion's definitely definitely good this BA basketball team.

78
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:13,759
Speaker 2: They got a lot of fashion.

79
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: This is the most talented roster we've seen in a while.

80
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 2: Mark you had I saw the seats.

81
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,159
Speaker 3: I thought you guys would be courtside, but look, you

82
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:23,800
guys might have been a little bit higher up. They

83
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,479
didn't give you the best view in the house. I

84
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,560
was a little bit disappointed, and I'm saying, you don't

85
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,919
do that tomorrow. D Durant in the Great Record Bill.

86
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, clearly they didn't know that.

87
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,919
Speaker 4: They didn't know about you know who they were dealing

88
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,840
with there around like you do, or I would have

89
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,439
been right down on the front row. But yeah, you know,

90
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,520
with a lot of these NBA arena type arenas, I

91
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,639
know that there's no NBA team there, but it's an

92
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,680
NBA type arena. They kind of put the radio and

93
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:50,840
other people up a little bit higher. But I you know,

94
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:54,000
I'm not complaining. For the ninety eight percent of the time,

95
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:56,039
I get pretty good seats, So I can live with

96
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:56,759
it for one day.

97
00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:59,159
Speaker 3: You definitely get live with the two percent, you know,

98
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,280
being uh in Las Vegas The Hall of Fame Classic

99
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:03,319
BYU Villanova.

100
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: Mark.

101
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: Want to get your reaction after during the game and

102
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,000
now maybe if you had a chance to go back

103
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,719
and watch the film, what did you like about this

104
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,199
bou basketball team open night. It's tough to have a

105
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,680
formidable opponent like Villanova. They had a gritty win to

106
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,240
start off the season. Wasn't really a comfortable victory. They

107
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,360
were up big at times, but they had to really

108
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:23,759
maneuver through, especially in that ball game, to pull it out.

109
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I have mixed feelings about it.

110
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 3: Ron.

111
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,959
Speaker 4: I thought they played pretty well for the most part.

112
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:34,240
I thought they played good defense. Obviously, they didn't do

113
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,120
a great job keeping Villanova off the offensive boards, which

114
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,000
helped Villanova stay around, especially early in that game where

115
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560
it could have just been really been blown open pretty wide.

116
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 5: And then and also I mean by you.

117
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 4: Missed a lot of shots in the paint, which I

118
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,199
don't anticipate being a problem.

119
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 5: I chalked that up to kind of nerves.

120
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: And you know you've been you're playing against new guys

121
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,120
really for the first time in a couple months, and

122
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,240
it's a big game, it's on TV. I mean, you

123
00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:07,199
tend to rush yourself a little bit. Also, you know, Bill,

124
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,959
you've got to kind of learn how to play against

125
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,680
the Villanova types that in North Carolina types with such

126
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,160
size inside the paint and not rush yourself and not

127
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:20,800
force things. And I thought they did better that late

128
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,639
in the game. They got a couple of really nice

129
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:26,600
buckets from aj and Rob Wright that they were really

130
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,040
nice and patient and the paint and got easy looks. So,

131
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,920
I mean, I'm not worried about all those misses, but

132
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,639
because they had all those in those close in misses

133
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,120
and because they gave up a lot of offensive rebounds

134
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,879
that let Villanova stick around.

135
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 7: But what I.

136
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,199
Speaker 4: Really loved most of all was that last five or

137
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,600
six minutes, when that'd be why your team said, Okay,

138
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,399
we're gonna lock it down right here, that we've messed

139
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:53,759
around long enough, and I don't you know, Villanova didn't

140
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,920
score there for like five minutes, and and b why

141
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,040
you got the job done. So that that says a

142
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,000
lot about me this team that if they get focused

143
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,079
and really come together, then they can play play at

144
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,199
a super high level, and they got the job done

145
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:08,759
by doing that.

146
00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:10,959
Speaker 3: They definitely did get the job done. You're right, they

147
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,720
locked it down the last five minutes. Loved that they

148
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,079
were able to turn it on. You like to see

149
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,000
it as like, Okay, so you guys can play defense

150
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,319
and lock it up when you really want to. But

151
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:22,639
what do you like about Keava Cator's performance. I just

152
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,680
thought Kiba really gave by you what they needed down

153
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,480
the stretch. I mean, we know what Aj and Richie

154
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,560
and Robb will do, right, but him ceiling the way

155
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,079
they teach you in the pros, little snake action. I mean,

156
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,480
he's ripping dudes up at the perimeter. I'm like, and

157
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,759
it's supposed to be Canard Davis Junior's job, but late

158
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:41,000
in the game. But I thought he was fantastic down

159
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,439
the stretch.

160
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:46,639
Speaker 4: Well, the great thing about Keba is you start from

161
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:51,160
such a high place. I mean he is so athletic

162
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,079
and strong and quick and physical.

163
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 5: I mean it's just.

164
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,959
Speaker 4: How he's made right, And so then you're just starting

165
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,480
to try and improve him and hone his skills, get

166
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:09,319
him a little bit better offensively around the hoop, get

167
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,199
his understanding of the game more and.

168
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:13,279
Speaker 5: He's getting all that.

169
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:16,199
Speaker 4: I mean, he's been around now, he's figuring out what

170
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,759
he needs to do, where he needs to be. His

171
00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:22,800
shot blocking is the macket because he knows when I'm

172
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:27,319
helping and when, and so he's on both ends of

173
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:27,720
the floor.

174
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,079
Speaker 7: He's super valuable.

175
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: And one thing that he does as good as anyone

176
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:36,120
I've ever seen is, you know, BYU needed some buckets

177
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,079
late in that game, so they just went to a

178
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,240
two man game, and Cable would set a screen for

179
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,439
Rob or AJ And he's so good at setting that

180
00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:49,040
screen and ceiling and then creating basically a two on one.

181
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 7: So AJ or Rob gets by their man because.

182
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: Of that screen, and Cable will roll down, and so

183
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,120
that other defender has to decide, Okay, am I going

184
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:01,839
to try and stop a Rob on the drive?

185
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 7: And if I even make even.

186
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 4: A slight movement that way, I know I've got this

187
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,560
unbelievable alley up guy that's gonna dunk on my head

188
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,040
if I leave him. And so it just creates a

189
00:08:14,079 --> 00:08:17,480
lot of pressure on the defense. And Caba sets that

190
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,920
screen and does that role, and even though a lot

191
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,079
of times he won't get the pass for the bucket,

192
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,920
he creates the opening for Aj and Rob or Richie

193
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,000
to score because they have to be so concerned with Caba.

194
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:36,240
But Kaba has just absolutely amazing and unique attributes about

195
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,799
him as just an athlete, and now he's kind of

196
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:42,039
learning how to over the years, has learned really to

197
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,120
understand the game and play the game and be in

198
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,799
the right spots and make the right plays, and has

199
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,320
developed a really nice touch around the hoop. And we

200
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,279
always talk about his dunks, right, but he's now become

201
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,000
a guy that can score around the hoop.

202
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: And so all those things combined.

203
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: That's to say that Caba is one of my favorite

204
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,120
players ever at YU. He's just so fun to watch.

205
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,879
I mean every game he has jaw dropping plays. And

206
00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:08,240
that sequence where he threw that or put back down,

207
00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:10,039
like he threw that straight.

208
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:10,519
Speaker 7: Down with one hand.

209
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:11,279
Speaker 5: It was unbelievable.

210
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: Then he goes down the other end and blocks it

211
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:15,639
into the fifth row. I mean, that's that's the epitome

212
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,960
of k Bricator right there. Those two possessions on what

213
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,039
he can do on both ends of the floor. He's

214
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,919
just he's just super fun to watch. That's bottom line.

215
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,279
He's a fun player to watch.

216
00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:29,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're swating to like the Dwight Howard into

217
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,799
the nineteenth row, and you got all your guys looking

218
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:35,120
up home. My goodness, alf hearted that go I have one.

219
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,960
I have one man's name for you. Will you got

220
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,879
to give credit to the whole staff. I don't know

221
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:41,799
his middle name, but Chris Christopher, what have you go by?

222
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:45,080
You probably go by Chris Chris Burgess. Salute to you,

223
00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:49,440
because my goodness getting him to BYU and the development.

224
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,559
Oh man, I can't speak enough about how important Chris

225
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Burgess is mark to the staff.

226
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:56,919
Speaker 2: All the other guys are important.

227
00:09:57,159 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: Retaining the Austen was important, but I think Chris Burgess

228
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
sometimes goes a little bit unnoticed because he puts a

229
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:04,480
lot of work in, especially when it comes to the

230
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:04,879
big man.

231
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,639
Speaker 2: You know though, those guys that are banging down Loan.

232
00:10:10,039 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

233
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,279
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a prerequisite to coach a position

234
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,000
that you have played that position, but I think it helps.

235
00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: I think it helps a lot.

236
00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:23,919
Speaker 4: And to have a guy like Chris who has played

237
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:27,799
that position over the years and was very good at it,

238
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,639
to be able to relate to Kaba and others and

239
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,799
help them with their improvement. I mean I've seen a lot,

240
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,080
like I've just mentioned, a lot of improvement with Kaba,

241
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,120
And if you have a big guy coach that has

242
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,639
done it all and then can and help his players

243
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:47,960
kind of figure that out as well. I mean, you're

244
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840
ahead of the game. And I think the world of Chris.

245
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,480
I mean, that whole coaching staff. I just I just

246
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:56,440
can't believe that that's that's who. We've got, those guys

247
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,879
all working together, and it starts obviously with coach Jung.

248
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: I'm just such a big fan of him.

249
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 4: But yeah, Chris, you know, he's I've watched him a

250
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,879
long time in different places and he's and I just

251
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:13,039
I think he's obviously destined to be a great head

252
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,799
coach one day.

253
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 5: But man, Bay, he's lucky to have him, and.

254
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: Particularly lucky to have him working with the big man

255
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,919
because I think that's really his area of expertise.

256
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:24,279
Speaker 2: It definitely is expertise, no doubt.

257
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:27,279
Speaker 3: Here with former BAU basketball great and the color analysts

258
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,600
for BAU men's basketball, we got Mark Durant on the

259
00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:30,159
line here in.

260
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: A little BAU basketball segment.

261
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,799
Speaker 3: As we're in the final hour here of Cougar Sports

262
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:36,720
on one of three nine in ninety eight three, wishing

263
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,679
everybody a happy Friday, November seventh. Hope you are getting

264
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,240
your sleep. Hopefully you won't be stressed with a lot

265
00:11:42,279 --> 00:11:44,159
of big time matchups. Mark, we'll ask you about that

266
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,480
in just a second, but let's go back to the game.

267
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: Aj debonsa closing out the game.

268
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: Just your reaction to seeing that that is exactly I

269
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,000
think what b what you needs to compete for a

270
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,679
final four birth to be in in Elite eight potentially

271
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,960
going that's the type of player that you need. I

272
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,440
wouldn't say they necessarily didn't have that in the past,

273
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:07,279
but you didn't have this high of a level of

274
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:09,399
player that can get to the rim with ease, with

275
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,039
the athleticism has.

276
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's important for a team to know that,

277
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,480
you know, if they're in a type game, that they

278
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,879
do have a type of player and that type of leader.

279
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,240
And not only can aj do that, but you've got

280
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:27,440
a couple guys, I mean Rob obviously and Richie who's

281
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,039
shown him that he can do that.

282
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 5: So, but it's nice.

283
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: What's nice about aj Ron is that you know he's

284
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,759
a guy with with his particular set of athletic skills

285
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:43,120
that he can he can score from anywhere on the

286
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,559
court by himself and with with with a team focused

287
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,879
solely on stopping him, Uh, he can still score. You know,

288
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:56,039
he's able to shoot the three, hit a big three

289
00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:58,399
in that Villanova game when Bill you really needed it,

290
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:01,279
and then he's able to put the ball on the

291
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,240
floor and he's got a beautiful kind of Uh. You know,

292
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,200
I hate doing this guy, but it's it's Jordan esque.

293
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,440
The way he looks on his jumper. It looks, you know,

294
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,440
putting on the driba pull up and shooting that little

295
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,840
jumper all a jazz killer jumper.

296
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: You know, he's got he's got that shot.

297
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's Jordan. I'm just saying he's got

298
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,159
that look of a shot. And then if you try

299
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,679
to take that away, he can just kind of use

300
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,120
his strength and have a big euro step and his

301
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,559
size and get to the rim and.

302
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,039
Speaker 5: Score it, like we saw a couple of times.

303
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 4: So you can do everything you can to stop him,

304
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,120
and yet he can still score for you. So when

305
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,240
you have a weapon that can score anywhere on the

306
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,639
floor by himself, and you know, you know, if we

307
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,639
need a bucket, we can get it from him, whereas

308
00:13:46,799 --> 00:13:47,639
sometimes you're like.

309
00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 7: Who's going to score for us?

310
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: How can we score here in this tight situation? No,

311
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,240
you don't have to worry about that. You can give

312
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,799
the ball to Richie or excuse me, AJ or Richie

313
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,840
or Rob right.

314
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 5: I mean, that's the that's the real strength.

315
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:02,879
Speaker 4: I mean, not that they just have AJ, but that

316
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,039
they have kind of these three guys. And then obviously

317
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:09,440
we've talked about Kiva, but those three guys can can

318
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,279
win games for you. They're all winners, they're all leaders,

319
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,720
they're all scorers, and so when you have that, it

320
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:18,639
just makes it really hard on the defense.

321
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:21,879
Speaker 2: It really does. Is truly a big three. Excited to

322
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:24,240
see it. But are you concerned though? Are you concerned

323
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,120
about the three point shooting?

324
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,919
Speaker 3: I seed on a lot Ah's they can't shoot this battle?

325
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: What's up with this? Are you concerned about the threes? Mark?

326
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,679
Speaker 4: I mean, it's interesting because the three is such a

327
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:39,399
big part.

328
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: Of the game today.

329
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: But you know, I watched that Arizona Florida game and

330
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,279
Arizona only took five threes in that game.

331
00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they won.

332
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,679
Speaker 4: They beat the Arena national champs, took five threes and

333
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:59,639
won the game. And so I don't think, you know,

334
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,360
I don't think b Yu needs to do that. I mean,

335
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:06,440
it's gonna be about what teams give them, right. I

336
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,320
certainly think they're capable. I think Richie's one of the

337
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,759
great three point shooters in the country. A j and

338
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,879
Robert are solid, MoU Davis has shown that he could

339
00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,320
shoot the three. And you got guys coming off the

340
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,799
bench like Mahilo and Kostach and Russ and those, So

341
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,159
those guys, I think they've got the three if they

342
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,559
need it. But if you can, if you if teams

343
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,000
are trying to take that away and you can get

344
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,320
to the ram at score, I mean, why do that.

345
00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:33,600
So so I'm not yet concerned it hasn't been great.

346
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:36,519
I agree part of it is because Richie just hasn't

347
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:37,399
been quite right.

348
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:38,879
Speaker 5: And he had the flu against Villanova.

349
00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: But I think the three will still be a big

350
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,679
part of what Kevin Young likes to do. But I

351
00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:46,840
don't think we're going to see maybe thirty or forty

352
00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:49,000
a game like we have in the past. Maybe twenty

353
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,399
to thirty, And I think that'll be just fine because

354
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:56,080
it's more about what your particular team is good at

355
00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:59,679
and if you're good at it, then then you should

356
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:02,440
be sixcessful either way, and so we'll see. I think

357
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,159
AJ's three is gonna develop really nicely. He's got a

358
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:08,919
beautiful shot, and like I said, some of these guys

359
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:12,120
off the bench I think need to kind of step

360
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,000
up and be more of a threat and be better.

361
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,440
But but you know it's you're not You're not wrong

362
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:20,639
to kind of identify it. But I don't think this

363
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200
team necessarily has to live or die by the three.

364
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,559
And I like that because a lot of times if

365
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:28,279
you're a three oriented team, eventually one night you're gonna

366
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:31,879
shoot bad and then you're kind of you're kind of out.

367
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 5: Of it for that game.

368
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: So it's nice to have the three, but I like

369
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,679
to not have to rely rely on it exclusively.

370
00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:40,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like did you bring up that point because

371
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320
I think back to last year, the teams before before

372
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:45,799
Kevin young Guy had the Mark Bop team. Some of

373
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,480
those guys that you live by the three, you die

374
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,279
by the three. Ryu is what it's known as. But hey,

375
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,080
sometimes you need a little midiaction get to the basket,

376
00:16:53,159 --> 00:16:55,759
and you got the athleticism. Let's go back to something

377
00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:57,759
you just said though, I think Richie is one of

378
00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:01,240
the best three point shooters in the country. You're very

379
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:04,319
declared of about that. Why that statement on Richie being

380
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,000
one of the best in the country of threes.

381
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,799
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the numbers from his career kind of

382
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:11,440
backed that up.

383
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 5: Obviously.

384
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 4: He was an elite shooter from the free throw line,

385
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,400
from the field, and from the three. Last year one

386
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,880
of you know, one of a few people in the

387
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,720
country to shoot the percentages that.

388
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 5: He shot, and so clearly he's good. He's worked on

389
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:24,799
it too.

390
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: I mean, he's he was much better last year than

391
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,079
he was the year before, and I.

392
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 5: Think he'll be much better this year.

393
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 4: With I think he'll have more freedom, more opportunities, more

394
00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:39,400
uncontested threes. With AJ and Rob on the floor, I mean,

395
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,680
they're just it's just going to open up the floor

396
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,400
a little bit more for Richie. But yeah, I mean,

397
00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,240
for whatever reason, Richie has struggled in the exhibition games,

398
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:51,079
and like I said, he had the flu Leonoval though

399
00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:52,240
he played fine, I mean, he.

400
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,279
Speaker 5: Played played decent in that game.

401
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: But I just think that's you know, Richie has a

402
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,400
future and a big part of that future is to

403
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,839
be like a maybe a Sam Merrill type guy and

404
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,039
in in the NBA.

405
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: And uh.

406
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 4: In order for him to be that kind of guy,

407
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,720
he's he's got to shoot well from the three. I

408
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,519
think he will. I think he has that in him.

409
00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:19,119
But again, super super early this season. We'll see how

410
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,839
it plays out. But the least guy I'm worried about

411
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,680
ron is Richie. I mean, I just know the player

412
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,359
that he is and how hard he works. You know,

413
00:18:28,519 --> 00:18:30,160
if he needs to figure something out, he'll do it,

414
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,000
and he'll do it quickly.

415
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Richie will figure it out very fast. You're just

416
00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:34,279
good on the fly.

417
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:34,599
Speaker 5: That's aw.

418
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,519
Speaker 3: He's going to be an NBA player. He will be

419
00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,279
playing at the next level, no doubt. How long do

420
00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,200
you think he continues to hit these free throws. He's

421
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,240
really good at free throws. Mark he doesn't like to

422
00:18:44,279 --> 00:18:45,759
miss him.

423
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,759
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I think Richie can maybe give a

424
00:18:51,799 --> 00:18:52,559
couple of makes to.

425
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:54,039
Speaker 5: Aj aj struggle that.

426
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 8: Uh.

427
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,759
Speaker 5: Again, I'm not worried about Ajink.

428
00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 4: He'll be just fine from the free throw line. But

429
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,079
even that just goes to show you around man, even

430
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,160
the greatest players in the world get a little nervous,

431
00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:09,680
and it's you know, it's his first game a lot

432
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,000
of fans TV, and a lot of times you can

433
00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:15,279
kind of hide the nerves in a lot of ways,

434
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:17,400
but when you're standing by yourself with the free throw line,

435
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,160
that can kind of show itself a little bit. But

436
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:22,680
he'll be fine from the free throw line, and he

437
00:19:22,839 --> 00:19:26,119
has to be because AJ is gonna shoot, you know,

438
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:30,200
at least six to ten maybe more free throws a

439
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,799
game with how he plays, and so that'll be a

440
00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:35,920
big part of AJ's game is just making free throws.

441
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,160
And yeah, Richie maybe could give him a couple of

442
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,960
little tips because Richie's as good.

443
00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 5: As there is on the free throws.

444
00:19:43,039 --> 00:19:46,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, AJ, get with Richie after practice. Okay, go with

445
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,400
the top kag.

446
00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 3: You know he could teach that in Richie Ago will

447
00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:52,319
teach you, you know, how to get maybe some good buckets,

448
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,000
more driving.

449
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,559
Speaker 2: You know. You guys switch off. That's what you do.

450
00:19:54,759 --> 00:19:56,519
Speaker 3: They like to play one on one in streaming, Mark,

451
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:58,680
that's what this team seems to like to do. You know,

452
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,319
all the time, turn out over till tomorrow. They're going

453
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,480
to be taking on holy Cross, heavily favorite in this game.

454
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: Obviously.

455
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: You know that the premier matchups in the non commerce

456
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:09,559
these are the games you're supposed to get right, get better.

457
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,160
What would you like to see from this team tomorrow?

458
00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:15,559
Obviously Villanova is a better opponent, but what are the

459
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:17,400
little things they need to do? What would you like

460
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,759
to see maybe from maybe some people like Dawson Baker, Mohilow,

461
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,759
maybe some other people that haven't been showcase yet on

462
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,960
this team tomorrow and holy Cross going forward to build momentum.

463
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know, even the exhibition games and obviously

464
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,480
that first game we're against a pretty high level competition,

465
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,640
and so they're just tough games. And what you'd like

466
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,200
to have now is, with all due respect to holy Cross,

467
00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:49,079
you know, it's the game that BAU should have an

468
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,160
easier time with anyway at home, and so when you're

469
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,559
playing against really good teams, it's harder to run your stuff.

470
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,599
Speaker 5: Teams are better at those things away, they rush.

471
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 4: You a little bit and you have to kind of

472
00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:08,799
tighten your rotation because you got to win the game, right,

473
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,839
And so what I expect to see against holy Cross

474
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,359
is just for chance for Byu to you know, have

475
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,759
a little bit better environment to just kind of figure

476
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:22,519
out chemistry, run your stuff, get more comfortable with the

477
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:25,599
offensive and defensive sets and be able to have success

478
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,799
against those teams. So that'll give you confidence next time

479
00:21:28,839 --> 00:21:30,720
you have to play a really good team. And the

480
00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:33,680
other part of it is hopefully you have a little

481
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,160
bit of a cushion where you can then feel free

482
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,640
to play some of those other guys that we've talked

483
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,039
about that I think really need some time on the floor,

484
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,240
because that starting five is super solid, as good as

485
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,119
I've ever seen in my life at BYU, and really

486
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,079
one of the best starting fives in the country as

487
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,119
far as I'm concerned.

488
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,839
Speaker 5: But they need help. They need to find a few guys.

489
00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:57,039
Speaker 4: That can really help that group and come and be

490
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,759
able to come in the game and help, you know,

491
00:21:59,799 --> 00:22:02,839
help could keep the momentum going and contribute. And whether

492
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:07,480
it's Mihailo or maruss Or or Dawson Baker or kostitch

493
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:12,279
or or or Brody Keselowski, whoever down the list, Boop,

494
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,759
they need to kind of figure out who it's going

495
00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:17,519
to be. Their their guys that are going to come

496
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,920
off the bench and really contribute. And this is a

497
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,400
great opportunity for all those guys when they do get

498
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,799
minutes to make their case and say to coach young. Hey,

499
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,119
I deserve to be on the floor. I need to

500
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,960
be on the floor. The team's better with me on

501
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,960
the floor. And in these really these first few exhibition games,

502
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,880
in the Villanova game, I haven't really seen guys step

503
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,720
up and do that, and so this will be a

504
00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:43,039
better chance for them to get some time and to

505
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:45,079
show what they can do. I thought, I think, I

506
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,839
think Boop has Boop has played played really well, but

507
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,319
other than that, I think, uh, the other guys have

508
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,160
been a little bit hit and miss. And so this

509
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,400
is the real opportunity for that second group to show

510
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,079
what they can do. And there's opportunities. I mean, that

511
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,880
was the whole my whole career was just when I

512
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,759
got a chance to play, I tried to do my

513
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:08,359
best so that the coach would feel confident in having

514
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,680
me on the floor and trying to make the team better.

515
00:23:10,799 --> 00:23:13,119
So if some of those guys can do that, because

516
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,440
that's that's kind of the only weakness I see on

517
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,640
this team is is is that depth in the second group.

518
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,319
I think there's a lot of good players that can contribute,

519
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,440
but I haven't really seen a lot of guys step

520
00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:27,640
up and make the case for themselves yet.

521
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:29,799
Speaker 7: So we'll see that these kind.

522
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 5: Of games are good for that getting a look at

523
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,160
those kind of guys.

524
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely excited to see who's able to put their

525
00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:38,519
hand up, who will put their hand up cougarnation going forward.

526
00:23:38,519 --> 00:23:40,359
We all have our opinions, but that's all. He let

527
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:41,359
the good boys go play.

528
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,839
Speaker 3: And Kevin Young said after the Blue White game, who

529
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,000
put his hand up? You know he was the guy

530
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:48,240
that definitely, And that's what it is. You go play,

531
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:51,039
you go take account a coach undeniably. And i mean, look,

532
00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:54,759
the greatest story in BYU men's basketball history for me

533
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:57,720
in the last what three to five seasons, will be

534
00:23:57,759 --> 00:23:58,319
Trace Steward.

535
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,039
Speaker 2: And there's no one.

536
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 3: Else that convinced me I'm biased about it. I will

537
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,000
stay there. This is a guy that probably was on

538
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:06,279
his way out, probably shouldn't stay, says, you know what,

539
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:08,759
I'm gonna be what you guy, I'm gonna stay. I'm

540
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:11,079
gonna take Kevin Young, I'm gonna buy in and.

541
00:24:11,279 --> 00:24:14,079
Speaker 2: Has a contract now playing overseas and he played Lily

542
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:17,440
three months of basketball because he bought in and he

543
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,559
got on the floor and he put his hand up.

544
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,119
So like Mark, I'm just I'm looking at it like, so,

545
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,000
who's gonna put that hand up? Who's next? Who's gonna

546
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,480
be the Trey Stewart this year?

547
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, Trey' is a good example.

548
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 4: And he you know, he he always had he had

549
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,119
some tough times at by you, but he stuck with

550
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,359
it and had a great, uh senior season.

551
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 5: I always loved Tray.

552
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: He's my cousin, so uh, you know, he's always been

553
00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:40,799
one of my favorites.

554
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 5: So I'm I'm thrilled to see his success.

555
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 7: But that's that's.

556
00:24:44,039 --> 00:24:47,079
Speaker 4: Exactly what I'm talking about, Guys like Trey coming in

557
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,200
and say I can help this team, I can make

558
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,480
this team better and uh, and you can have confidence

559
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,559
in me, coach. And if coaches love that, they love

560
00:24:55,599 --> 00:24:57,839
guys that are team guys that just want to win.

561
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,640
We're gonna, I know what I get from when I

562
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,400
put this kid in. He's gonna work hard, he's gonna

563
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,160
get rebounds, he's gonna set good screens, not gonna turn

564
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:04,720
the ball over.

565
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 5: And coaches love those kind of guys.

566
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:07,599
Speaker 2: They do.

567
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: They would also love Mark Duran if there was a

568
00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:12,319
you know, hyperbolic chamber, if there's a time machine, we

569
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:14,559
could put him back in and reverse and you know,

570
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,960
throw him on this team as well.

571
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,519
Speaker 2: You know, I'd love to see that too, you know,

572
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:19,079
but I may.

573
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,039
Speaker 4: Still have some eligibility wrong, you know, some of these

574
00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:26,920
some of these lawsuits, you know, the unending eligibility.

575
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,319
Speaker 5: I may, I may sneak back in.

576
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,759
Speaker 3: Hey, please sneak back in. I'd love to see it.

577
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:32,920
And then we can we can switch ros. You could

578
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,599
go play, and then I'll try to do some some

579
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,200
color as well. Probably be terrible at doing it, Greg,

580
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,000
Probably I like that at all. But I'd love to

581
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:40,599
call you. I wish I could have called one of

582
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,319

584
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,960
Greg would kick me out in a second.

585
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:49,640

00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,680
You can figure it out.

597
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,079
Speaker 4: But yeah, we're on you know obviously on KSSL and

598

610
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,759
Speaker 2: Don't know what to tell you. You heard Mark Durant.

611
00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: He books it right there, Mark, Before I let you go,

612
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,720
what's the best way we can support you on what

613
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:54,000
you do? I know you also have a day job.

614
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:55,759
You also do basketball on the side too.

615
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a lawyer, so I'm gonna bill you for

616
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,240
this entire conversation, so expect that.

617
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 5: I know you'll just pass it on the ban or somebody.

618
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,960
So that's fine. He's got money.

619
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:14,599
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm a real estate attorney. I work at

620
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,119
a lot from called Dorsey and Whitney. They're great, a

621
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,559
lot of great people, and they support support me and

622
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:22,319

623
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,480
any real estate and needs development at least sing those

624
00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:27,240
kinds of things, give me a call.

625
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: Give him a call.

626
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 3: Trust me, you want to give Mark Durant an opportunity,

627
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,799
as I say, to earn your business. He will be

628
00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:35,960
billing me for this interview, but he is right. I

629
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,720
will pass it to Ben because Ben definitely has the

630
00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:40,680
money and he pays the bills and he does a

631
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,279
really good job and then pays me well.

632
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,359

out of Huntsville, Texas. We got Steve Klements on the line.

710
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 8: Steve, how the heck are you buddy outstanding?

711
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:19,319
Speaker 9: How are you buddy doing awesome? Doing fantastic? When you

712
00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:22,920
were growing up, what was the rhetoric surrounding Texas Tech?

713
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,119
What do you remember about Texas Tech when you were

714
00:31:25,119 --> 00:31:25,640
growing up?

715
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 7: Uh?

716
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:35,039
Speaker 8: Well, in Texas, similar to here, there were two teams

717
00:31:35,319 --> 00:31:36,680
that was Texas and Texas A and M.

718
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,359
Speaker 5: Yeah.

719
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, there are all the colleges TCU S and U

720
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,000
Texas Tech Old Southwest Conference.

721
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,519
Speaker 7: But you're either a Texas van or Texas A and

722
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,200
M fan, either BUYU fan or Utah fan.

723
00:31:52,279 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: So it was a much stock around Texas Tech.

724
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,359
Speaker 7: So you see school there or whatever.

725
00:31:57,599 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

726
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 9: You see what's happening with the Red Raiders right now.

727
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:05,960
And I think it's a surprise to a lot of

728
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,640
people that they are one of the best teams in

729
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,880
college football and they've invested at such a high level

730
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,559
within that college football landscape.

731
00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:21,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think they're more of a surprise because typically,

732
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,160
you know, coach Maguire, who I believe about ten or

733
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,079
twelve years ago, came up here and when he was

734
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:32,559
a coach at Cedar Hill High School there in Dallas area.

735
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, and just like they were world beaters, man, like

736
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,720
they were legit every year they're playing for state championship. Yeah.

737
00:32:42,839 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 8: And you typically high school head football coach doesn't have

738
00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:52,480
the success that he's had at Texas Tech making that jump.

739
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,559
And so I think that adds to the surprising nature

740
00:32:56,599 --> 00:33:02,039
of this team generally speaking, just because of his lack

741
00:33:02,079 --> 00:33:04,920
of experience in the college game. He goes right from

742
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,240
high school granted, one of the better high school programs

743
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,400
in the whole state of Texas, which as we know,

744
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:17,880
is the predominant religion down in that state. But yeah,

745
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,200
it's it's it's very surprising because it's Texas Tech.

746
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:24,559
Speaker 7: Texas Tech has known has been really known for.

747
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's number fifteen for the Kansas City Chiefs. Helps

748
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,640
Texas Tech have a name.

749
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 7: But you know before that they were they'd win more.

750
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:42,079
Speaker 8: Than they lost, you know, Mike Leach with their offense.

751
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:45,000
Their air raid offense started to put them on the

752
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:48,759
map a little bit more. But as far as the consistency,

753
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,400
they haven't been really consistent.

754
00:33:51,839 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 7: You know, where they've been a top ten, top.

755
00:33:54,519 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 8: Fifteen ranked team consistently year after year after year. Yah,

756
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:03,720
that's changing. I think coach McGuire, it's a testament to

757
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:08,639
him and to have sustainability with obviously the things that

758
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:09,800
he's putting together.

759
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 7: You know, oddly enough.

760
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 8: Or interestingly enough, he started his career at North Crowley

761
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,039
High School in the Fort Worth area as a defensive

762
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:22,119
line coach and then you look at their defensive line

763
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:25,320
and what are they ranked, and I think it's number

764
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,280
one rush defense in the nation, and everybody talks.

765
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:30,119
Speaker 7: About their defensive line.

766
00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:33,079
Speaker 8: Well, I mean that's how he started, that's the position

767
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:35,280
he started coaching in his career.

768
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,639
Speaker 7: That spanns you know, decades and decades.

769
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,679
Speaker 8: So probably not a surprise that that's one of the

770
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:45,239
strong suits. But Texas Tech has always been known for

771
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,000
their offense, never for their defense. Yeah, it's just you

772
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:50,599
knew you were going to get into a track meet

773
00:34:51,159 --> 00:34:55,480
with those dudes, and now they they've kind of flipped

774
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:56,039
the script.

775
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 7: There's still a high fired offense.

776
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,559
Speaker 8: They're avaging over thirty points a game, but it's their

777
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:05,599
defense that people are going, wait, where did this come from?

778
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 7: They've always been known, you know, Patrick Mahomes, their.

779
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,559
Speaker 8: Aid offense, offense offense, and all of a sudden they're

780
00:35:11,559 --> 00:35:16,960
stopping people on defense. And so but I'm excited, man,

781
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:17,840
I'm looking forward to it.

782
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:18,679
Speaker 2: Well, what's crazy?

783
00:35:18,679 --> 00:35:21,079
Speaker 9: He's like very few, as you mentioned, very few coaches

784
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:22,760
at the high school ranks get an opportunity to go

785
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,000
to the college ranks. And even when they do get

786
00:35:25,039 --> 00:35:27,440
to the college ranks, it's not like they're they become

787
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:31,679
head coaches at the FBS level, at the G sixth

788
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,119
level or at the P four level.

789
00:35:33,159 --> 00:35:37,119
Speaker 2: He got in with I think coach Rule.

790
00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 9: They're at Baylor as a tight ends coach after being

791
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,239
at Cedar Hill High School from what ninety seven to

792
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,679
twenty and sixteen, right like that's when I mean that

793
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,320
was the heyday where he was just bawling out winning

794
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,920
state championship after state championship. So Coach Rule brought him

795
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,519
on and he was with Baylor through twenty twenty one,

796
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:02,119
even with the transit the David Randas staff, and then

797
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,760
finally got his opportunity to be the head coach of

798
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,840
Texas Tech, which is pretty insane. You need a collective

799
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:15,239
group of high school football head coaches to come together

800
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:19,639
and influence an athletic director to hire a former I think,

801
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,480
a former high school coach that made his way through

802
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,840
uh the you know, the assistant coaching world.

803
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: There's a lot of advocates.

804
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,639
Speaker 9: There was a lot of advocacy there in the state

805
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:33,920
of Texas or Joy McGuire to be the guy, and

806
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,719
there's a huge community that wants him to succeed, not

807
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,440
only at Texas Tech, but I think in the entire

808
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,679
state of Texas.

809
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 8: Well because of it's such a big deal down in

810
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,679
Texas high school football.

811
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 7: I'm talking about in football in general.

812
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,559
Speaker 9: And you coached high school football in Texas for how long.

813
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:03,599
Speaker 8: I was down there between seven and twenty thirteen, so

814
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:04,559
what six?

815
00:37:05,119 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 7: Yeah?

816
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 9: Years?

817
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 2: You grew up there, wouldn't you say. There's a lot

818
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,800
of high school football coaches.

819
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,559
Speaker 9: I love high high school football coaches the kind of

820
00:37:11,559 --> 00:37:13,159
feel that they could coach at the collegiate level if

821
00:37:13,159 --> 00:37:13,800
given the chance.

822
00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 7: Yes, and they could.

823
00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:22,079
Speaker 8: But just like anybody else, especially coach MacGuire, even though

824
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,119
so he goes from high school head coach to an

825
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:29,440
assistant college but only for five or five years, and

826
00:37:29,519 --> 00:37:31,760
then he becomes the head football coach at.

827
00:37:31,639 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 7: A major Division one program.

828
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 8: That doesn't happen, but boy, they kind of run those

829
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,920
programs almost small colleges anyway. I mean, stadiums in the

830
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,480
locker rooms and the weight rooms are bigger than a

831
00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:51,519
lot of small Division one college football programs and athletic departments.

832
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,920
It's it's kind of insane. Now, the property taxes are

833
00:37:56,159 --> 00:37:58,519
through the roof. There's no state income tax, so they're

834
00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:02,320
allowed to put a lot of money into the schools

835
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,159
and the stadiums and the weight rooms and the everything

836
00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:09,000
that involved around athletics down there in the high schools.

837
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:13,679
And so yeah, there's a foundation. There's quite a bit

838
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,079
of a foundation for a head football coach, the resources

839
00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:20,760
that if he makes the jump, it's not quite the

840
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,760
gap that you would see maybe from other states that

841
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,719
don't have those same type of resources.

842
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:32,159
Speaker 7: And so but he's done it.

843
00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 8: Very successfully and really relatively quickly based on history of

844
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,440
that happening before him. And that's just a testament to

845
00:38:42,519 --> 00:38:47,480
him and how he runs his runs a ship and

846
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:51,119
and it's it's impressive. And you know, you always if

847
00:38:51,119 --> 00:38:54,000
you're from from Texas, you always going to root for

848
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:56,639
Texas teams until they run up against your alma manor.

849
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,119
But yeah, I've always wanted Texas Tech and TC you

850
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,760
and s m U and Texas. Not so much Texas

851
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,800
A and M because that's that's a different story.

852
00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 7: But everybody else you want to see do.

853
00:39:09,039 --> 00:39:14,679
Speaker 8: Well, you know so, uh but uh yeah, it's good stuff.

854
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 2: Well.

855
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 9: Steve klemis here on ESPN the Fan talking to BYU

856
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:19,000
Texas Tech.

857
00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: How do you see this game playing out?

858
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 9: What stands out to you in your scattling report on

859
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,360
the Red Raiders. What will ultimately differentiate U b YU

860
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,559
in this game in order to come out as winners.

861
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 8: Well, I think the first thing it's gonna be the

862
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,079
first quarter and a half. What that looks like at

863
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:44,000
the end of the first quarter, there's by you get

864
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:46,760
off to a there really.

865
00:39:46,519 --> 00:39:48,760
Speaker 7: Their traditional slow start.

866
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 8: Obviously they I think against Iowa State again, the hangover

867
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:59,920
I think bled into the first half of Iowa State

868
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,800
and we struggle both offensively and defensively a little bit,

869
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,719
and then took coach yard at halftime and right of

870
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:12,599
the ship and Texas Tech does most of their damage

871
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:18,199
in the first quarter. Now, we've given up a lot defensively.

872
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,000
Now it's not a whole heck of a lot, but

873
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,639
where we're we've been most vulnerable defensively has been the

874
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:26,360
first quarter.

875
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,119
Speaker 7: In the scoring allowed in the first quarter.

876
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 8: So I think that I believe we're thirty five and oh,

877
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,639
if we score first, I think something like that. So

878
00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:41,320
if we score first, we've got a really good shot.

879
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,199
And I think if we just at least keep it

880
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,559
close and be able to manage the game plan, I

881
00:40:49,559 --> 00:40:51,599
think it's going to be a lower scoring game. I

882
00:40:51,639 --> 00:40:54,719
think it's going to be just like similar to Utah

883
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,320
a wherets that you know in the twenties, and it's

884
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,760
going to go back and forth. But I don't know

885
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,400
if anybody can then score in the forties because both

886
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:11,039
defenses are so dang good. So but I think first

887
00:41:11,119 --> 00:41:15,800
quarter coming out and and not necessarily a quick start,

888
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:19,639
but a little bit quicker than normal. I think with

889
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:24,840
a week off, you may see something. I think a

890
00:41:25,039 --> 00:41:29,000
Rod does really good on the triggeration plays. Oh yeah,

891
00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:32,519
having an extra week, so you may see that early

892
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:33,039
in the game.

893
00:41:33,639 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 7: I don't know, that's just I guess of mine.

894
00:41:36,559 --> 00:41:40,639
Speaker 8: But I will say this, and we talked last week

895
00:41:40,679 --> 00:41:43,760
about the importance of the Iowa State game to me,

896
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,920
I think being one of the biggest, bigger wins that

897
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,920
we've had this season, if not the biggest win because

898
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,679
of beating the rival, not putting all our eggs in

899
00:41:52,679 --> 00:41:55,719
the basket, and going over to Iowa State and laying

900
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,079
an egg no pun intended like we did last year

901
00:41:59,079 --> 00:42:01,800
after we beat there or Utah and then we lost

902
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,880
the next two games, and so I think that was

903
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,480
a maturity thing and a maturity win by not just

904
00:42:08,519 --> 00:42:11,159
the players, but the staff too. I think this team

905
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:15,239
is different because of that, and so it's gonna be interesting.

906
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,960
And I feel so much better going into this game

907
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:21,440
knowing that Iowa States already happened, and you're playing in

908
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,840
a Rockets crowd and college game day and all the hooplaw.

909
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,639
But on Wednesday's practice, I think in the past, if

910
00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:32,519
I've gone to a Wednesday practice, it'd be it'd be

911
00:42:32,599 --> 00:42:34,079
a lot looser than it was.

912
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,079
Speaker 7: Man, I'm telling you.

913
00:42:36,119 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 8: They were locked in, they were focused, They knew what

914
00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:45,519
the stakes were on this coming Saturday tomorrow, and they

915
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:48,400
practiced like it. They weren't just going through the motions.

916
00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:55,400
There was a purpose to every rep, to every throw,

917
00:42:55,639 --> 00:43:03,280
to every tackle, to every station and drill, and and

918
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,360
I think that's that I've seen a difference there Whereas

919
00:43:07,679 --> 00:43:10,679
in the past a little bit more of loosey goosey,

920
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,639
a little bit more I don't want to say undisciplined.

921
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,880
There was just more of a locked a locked in

922
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,480
focus mentality. This is not just for Big twelve, but

923
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:27,039
this is national implications. This game on Saturday. Now, granted,

924
00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:30,400
they still think they can get into the playoffs if

925
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,360
they split, if they go three and one and even

926
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,000
lose one here.

927
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 7: In the next four games.

928
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,159
Speaker 8: I don't know if two asses gets his in, but

929
00:43:41,039 --> 00:43:43,639
I don't know if stranger things have happened. Uh, but

930
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,000
I do think that this is a different team because

931
00:43:47,039 --> 00:43:53,840
they're they're they're their makeup psychologically. To me is the

932
00:43:53,840 --> 00:44:00,199
big difference maker between years of past and this. Uh

933
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,880
is Kalani's tenth year.

934
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:03,039
Speaker 7: I'd all you.

935
00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 9: Pretty crazy to see what Kilani is accomplishing in year

936
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:10,280
ten building a championship program, something that uh, you know,

937
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,880
b we hasn't really haven't been able to get over

938
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:17,880
the hump, right, Like even in the ninety six, uh

939
00:44:18,079 --> 00:44:21,599
ninety six season, two thousand and one, season six oh

940
00:44:21,599 --> 00:44:27,119
seven nine, twenty twenty yard Shore versus Coast of Carolina

941
00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:32,679
twenty twenty one lost a couple of heartbreakers, right, you

942
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,079
know your era, I don't know, like you know when

943
00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:37,119
you ponder on your ear, like just couldn't get over

944
00:44:37,159 --> 00:44:39,800
the hump in order to get into those New Year's

945
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,039
Bowl New Year's Bowl games and you know, sit at

946
00:44:43,079 --> 00:44:45,480
the top with the food chain and and and be

947
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,760
elite once again. We've always been great since nineteen seventy two,

948
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,039
and we were elite maybe in nineteen eighty four, eighty

949
00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:56,960
five and those early eighties. But it's uh, it's time now.

950
00:44:57,039 --> 00:44:59,000
It feels like the glory days may be back. Do

951
00:44:59,079 --> 00:45:01,199
you think by you can get over the hump this year?

952
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,079
Do they have the horses, do they have the coaches?

953
00:45:03,079 --> 00:45:03,880
Do you have the culture?

954
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 8: I think they checked yes, I think they check all

955
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:14,480
three boxes. With the talent level and not just the

956
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:17,239
talent level, but the maturity of the talent level.

957
00:45:17,679 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 7: A little bit older. A lot of guys are back

958
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:22,880
from last year. Now.

959
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 8: We haven't talked about the freshman little phenom in the

960
00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:33,480
backfield wearing number forty seven, and that's probably probably an anomaly,

961
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,519
but I think everything was set up and in place

962
00:45:38,639 --> 00:45:43,679
for him there to be successful, because you're coming in

963
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:49,400
with an outstanding defensive coordinator who's now had the range

964
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,519
for three years and now he's implemented all.

965
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,679
Speaker 7: Of the things that he likes.

966
00:45:55,119 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 8: He's put a stamp on that side of the ball,

967
00:45:58,519 --> 00:46:02,119
meaning Jay Hill, And when you have I'm telling you

968
00:46:02,199 --> 00:46:06,480
as a signal caller, to have a defense like we

969
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:10,920
have right now, boy, it just alleviates a lot of

970
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:16,159
pressure that you might otherwise feel if indeed, back in

971
00:46:16,199 --> 00:46:20,320
the day in the nineties, Chow would come up every

972
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,280
Monday and get up in front of the room and go, hey,

973
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,960
we've got to score forty seven points this year or

974
00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:30,440
this week because you know the guys in the next

975
00:46:30,519 --> 00:46:33,280
room are going to give up forty five. And he

976
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,960
would just call it like you see that we struggle

977
00:46:36,079 --> 00:46:39,119
defensively back in the in the early nineties, and he

978
00:46:39,159 --> 00:46:42,000
would say he would give us a number every Monday, Okay,

979
00:46:42,039 --> 00:46:44,320
we got to score forty two. We got to score

980
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,559
fifty two because their offense is really good and we

981
00:46:47,599 --> 00:46:53,719
have we struggle stopping people. So on the floor, So

982
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,519
that puts a lot of pressure on the offense and

983
00:46:55,599 --> 00:46:58,719
especially the quarterback because you know, you almost have to

984
00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,960
score every possession.

985
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,599
Speaker 7: Bear doesn't have to do that.

986
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,599
Speaker 8: And with a defense like that, and then the cultures,

987
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,039
it is just the foundation of everything and the culture

988
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:15,760
to me, I saw it firsthand on Wednesday, based on

989
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,119
the Wednesday practice, which is the lighter practice. But it's

990
00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:24,280
not a light practice. It's not a light in any

991
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,639
form or fashion. It was business. They knew what they were,

992
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:34,719
what Saturday meant, and everything was with purpose and attention

993
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,519
to detail. From the drills to seven on seven to

994
00:47:39,559 --> 00:47:43,199
every thing that they did, there was a purpose and

995
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,719
that comes from Kilane and that comes from a staff

996
00:47:47,159 --> 00:47:50,360
that is now finding itself and has been here now

997
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,480
for a little bit together. I think what made us

998
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,559
so good BYU, but we never got over the hump

999
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,559
was the sustainability of all the coaches. I mean coaches

1000
00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:07,599
were here twenty twenty five, thirty years and that obviously

1001
00:48:07,639 --> 00:48:13,480
proved dividends being consistent like that, and so I really

1002
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:21,159
do think the talent the culture stands to get us

1003
00:48:21,199 --> 00:48:22,960
over the hump this year.

1004
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 7: And it's sustainable ye too.

1005
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 2: And sustainable this is just like a one mile This

1006
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:29,840
is not just one year.

1007
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,800
Speaker 7: No, no, it's not.

1008
00:48:33,039 --> 00:48:37,199
Speaker 8: And we're lucky, and we're gonna be lucky because I

1009
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,400
think some of the Iowa states of the world of

1010
00:48:40,519 --> 00:48:43,119
people like that, they're going to have that one year

1011
00:48:43,159 --> 00:48:47,519
every five or six And we've had that really to

1012
00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:51,199
a point the years that you just mentioned. But I

1013
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,719
really do think everything is coming together to have this

1014
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:01,199
be sustainable starting you know, really the last couple of years,

1015
00:49:02,079 --> 00:49:06,039
but especially the last two years, and to be that

1016
00:49:06,199 --> 00:49:09,079
have that now as an expectation, which puts a lot

1017
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:11,760
more pressure on Claude, but what's as fine.

1018
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 7: I think he'll take that.

1019
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 8: He'll take that pressure versus just trying to get to

1020
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,800
a freaking bowl game every year.

1021
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,199
Speaker 9: Well, quota so that you know over the last sixty

1022
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,719
years is eight wins. That's would be what you average is.

1023
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,960
So that's quota in any given year. It's not bowl game,

1024
00:49:28,159 --> 00:49:32,000
it's it's it's eight wins. So I'm wondering if that

1025
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:36,000
quota will continue into the P four era, where you know,

1026
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:39,960
now year three and you went five and seven, then

1027
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,920
eleven and two, and now you're on a trajectory to

1028
00:49:43,519 --> 00:49:47,559
possibly surpass eleven wins depending on what happens here on

1029
00:49:47,559 --> 00:49:50,239
the back end of the schedule. But I mean last year,

1030
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,039
a known you lost a few games on the back end.

1031
00:49:53,199 --> 00:49:54,079
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.

1032
00:49:54,079 --> 00:49:56,559
Speaker 9: But one of the reasons why most BOI fans are

1033
00:49:56,679 --> 00:50:01,880
very optimistic is because the true freshman Bear Bachmeyer, God

1034
00:50:02,039 --> 00:50:03,079
damn Centaur.

1035
00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:06,199
Speaker 2: You know, the air Bear.

1036
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,760
Speaker 9: What is the Bear forty seven? The days of forty seven?

1037
00:50:12,039 --> 00:50:16,280
Because he's leading by U two glory in victory right now.

1038
00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:20,719
His stoicism, his running ability, his throwing ability, he does

1039
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,360
it all. And you called him the right handed, better

1040
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:30,719
throwing tim Tebow and everyone just was there was weeping, whaling,

1041
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:34,840
nashing your teeth, all manner of criticism heaped on. Yet

1042
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,840
but you've been validated. It seems you've been maybe even

1043
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,719
vindicated here. What do you like about Bear right now

1044
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:41,440
and how he's playing.

1045
00:50:46,039 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 8: I think the older I get, the more I tend

1046
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,800
to focus on neck up rather than neck down and

1047
00:50:54,159 --> 00:50:57,519
fundamentals and athleticism and talent, because he has all that,

1048
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,840
but it's his ability to whether he makes a bad

1049
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:07,400
player a good play. He's always thinking about the next

1050
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:14,639
play and being present and so getting back to a

1051
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,480
calmness about him because he never he can't really tell

1052
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,360
a lot of times if he indeed threw a touchdown

1053
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,599
pass or left over a guy or threw a pick

1054
00:51:27,159 --> 00:51:30,360
or from the ball, because he's so even keeled. And

1055
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:36,199
that's a lot of times. Talent will separate all the time.

1056
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:43,360
But then it's the ability to overcome or handle adversity,

1057
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,280
and how do you do that? How do you react

1058
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,280
to things that don't go your way or things you

1059
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:49,920
want to go your way?

1060
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 7: How do you react to that?

1061
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:55,079
Speaker 8: But at the same time, we always forget how about

1062
00:51:55,119 --> 00:52:00,679
those times that we're on a high, how quickly can

1063
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:05,880
we get back to normalcy or even kill about our

1064
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:11,880
mentality and our psychology, because so what, Okay, you threw

1065
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:12,679
a touchdown pass.

1066
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,039
Speaker 7: Now what yeah you still you still got to finish

1067
00:52:15,039 --> 00:52:18,360
the game, right. You can't get all up jacked up.

1068
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 8: And go yeah, I'm I'm the dude, I'm the man,

1069
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,079
and forget, oh yeah, we've still got three quarters left

1070
00:52:25,079 --> 00:52:28,360
to play. So it's it's his ability to get back

1071
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:33,760
to evenness, as I would call it. And and he

1072
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,679
just performed at a high level in all facets. You see,

1073
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,119
maybe he just got a three hundred your passing game

1074
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,800
after and again I think that was the biggest one

1075
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,480
of the year, going to Iowa State after beating Utah

1076
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,119
and having the game that he did through the air.

1077
00:52:50,039 --> 00:52:54,039
So now Texas, tex Yeah, the dude could throw now

1078
00:52:54,079 --> 00:52:57,639
too well, crap, okay, crap if we had something for him,

1079
00:52:57,639 --> 00:53:01,400
if he was just gonna run. But now bear in

1080
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:06,320
the big Blue House can throw the ball, so we

1081
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:11,800
we gotta, we gotta And then what's your name, JoJo's

1082
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,920
coming back? Yeah, So yeah they're going to have and

1083
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,960
then you know, Parker is just every every week is

1084
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,000
getting better and better. And so yeah, they've got some

1085
00:53:22,079 --> 00:53:26,239
weapons outside of number four and number forty seven on

1086
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,159
the ground, and of course the unsign heroes are always

1087
00:53:29,159 --> 00:53:30,280
going to be the officer of lineman.

1088
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,639
Speaker 7: That's the backbone of the team is I would always say.

1089
00:53:35,039 --> 00:53:38,119
Speaker 9: This week the high level, they're gonna bet they will

1090
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:38,800
big time.

1091
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 2: This is their biggest test, yep.

1092
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 8: And it's gonna be a knock down, drag out and

1093
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,000
we're ready for it. I'm telling you. Wednesday, I saw

1094
00:53:50,039 --> 00:53:54,880
some things that I was really fired up about, and

1095
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,880
that was the professionalism and the going on a business

1096
00:53:58,920 --> 00:53:59,599
trip as they.

1097
00:53:59,519 --> 00:54:01,360
