Speaker 1: Let's talk some college football with one of our favorite guests,
Tim Brown of RGS six Tiers.
Speaker 2: Timmy, how you living man? Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 3: Look man, life's good. I'm on more my last regular
season high school game of the year. We got rivalry
game tomorrow. What's better?
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed love it. I want to talk to you
about spending money. We've been talking about dollar dollar bills
over the last hour or so in the If we
look at the top fifteen right now in the A
people many would say, hey, these are the biggest spenders
in college football, not only from an organizational design standpoint,
like they're spending money on their internal infrastructure, their coaches,
et cetera. And also they're allocating the donors are allocating
a lot of money to nil. The one outlier I
would say right now in the football realm is actually Indiana.
Signetti though just signed an eight year, ninety three million
dollar deal in Indiana. But up to this point, I
don't know how much help he's had an nil or
in you know, salaries for.
Speaker 2: His coaching staff.
Speaker 1: Kyle Whitningham went our record said like, hey, the biggest
spenders are winning the most games in this new era.
Speaker 2: Would you agree or disagree with him?
Speaker 3: One dred percent? And I would say Indiana's got the
money there somewhere, we just don't see it yet. But
I don't think he would have taken that job, and
I don't think he would have stayed without knowing that
he has money back in him.
Speaker 2: Crazy. Yeah, I mean, so the money is there. So
my question is, who do you think is the second
biggest in the Big twelve?
Speaker 1: If that correlates, if more money spent equals more wins
in the win column, Who's the second biggest spender in
the Big twelve? Who's going to be in Arlington at
the end of the year because text Tech is the
big the big hitter.
Speaker 3: It's tough, right, I don't know. I mean, it might
be BYU, we may not even know. And that's the
one thing with BYU being a private institution, it's a
little bit harder to final numbers. But b YU might
be the next one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they may be number two, right, I mean there's
some people that think that, and and it like, maybe
that's what we find out at the end of the year,
after the schedule, you know, because the resources that each
of these schools have allocated, respectfully to their football program
very well could correlate to the end of year standings.
But how you feel about this holy war right now
BYU versus Utah?
Speaker 2: Where do you lean? Well?
Speaker 3: I think I'm super excited. It's gonna be a really
good game. I've been saying for all week. I think
the edge. I don't want to be a politician, but
I think really if the linebackers and safety corps is
healthy for BYU, which we haven't been in the last
two weeks. But if we're healthy, I think BYU has
got a really good chance. If they're not, then I
think Utah will win it. So I think it really
is going to depend on that in back post corps,
that front seven, maybe some of the safeties. If we're
going to bring a nickel coming down, and we got
to do some way to spy you know, the quarterback.
There's got to be some way to control that, and
so that that defensive play is going to be critical.
Anytime you started too freshman, I don't care who it
is that quarterback position, you've got to have a good
defense to help him.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, anytime, let you know Utah
and be what you're doing great.
Speaker 1: Their top twenty five teams, they they this may be
a Texas Tech one, Utah b y U two in
the rankings this year, and so on and so forth.
Whenever you have a top twenty five team like this,
at the end of the year, the job openings of
college football come calling for coordinators at those high level
schools that.
Speaker 2: Are winning at a high level.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Morgan Scalley, Jay Hill, right, Jason Beck,
Aaron Roderick right now, Penn State, Morgan State, Arkansas, Oklahoma State, Ucla,
Virginia Tech, Stanford UAB, Kent State. They all have openings
right now. Do you think that any one of these
coaches within the robbery will get poached in the offseason, Well.
Speaker 3: I think everyone of them are gonna get called now
whether they'll leaves of different questions. I mean, I don't
think Morgan Scalley is. I think it's a dundale. He's
gonna be in Utah next year or the year after.
The ones that I worry about the most is Jay Hill, honestly.
I mean, Jay Hill, to me is the most important
coach at BYU. And I love Klanni, but Jay Hill
is more important to me than Klania.
Speaker 2: Is right now.
Speaker 3: So b Y, he's gonna do whatever they got to
do to keep him and keep him there. Roderick's great,
we love him, but I would much rather douce him
than I would Jay Hill.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, did you just say you think Jay Hill's
more valuable than Kilani. That's a that's a very aggressive tape.
Speaker 3: I love Klan. I think Klani is outstanding, but I
think Jay Hill is more important to the program right now,
no question.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean, I disagree, but I I understand where you're
coming from, just from a maybe a football standpoint, But
that's a very very fiery take real quick. You represent
RGS six Steers, Timmy, and you got great deals going on.
Tell us what you do, how you do it, and
why our listeners should give you a call.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well appreciate it. First of all, exciting weekend, we

focusing on that. But Monday morning, really what we want
to do is give us a call. Let us let

Exterior home remodeling company that's obsessed with quality results, serving
Utah for five generations and counting give me a score
prediction in the Holy War, and why are you picking
that score?
Speaker 3: Well, so this is all I've been saying all week.
I'm going to go twenty four to twenty one, and
assuming the life actors are healthy, then it's BYU. If
they're not and they don't play, I mean their scheduled
to play, we'll see. If they don't, then I'm and
to say twenty four twenty on Utah. But let's just
hope that all the live actors play and we're healthy
and we get a W. J Hill did what you
said earlier the winner, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 2: J Hill stated that Jack Kelly will play in this game, by.
Speaker 3: The way, Yes he did. Now whether he actually plays
and whether he's healthy is a different story. But if
he plays and he's healthy, then that would be my count.
And I also think that the winner of this game
is going to play Texas second the championship for the
Big felve Championship, So I think this game is that important.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: That's Tim Brown RDS six steers. Contact him today, let
him know we sent you. Thanks so much, Tim, Thanks much,
and have a great weekend.
Speaker 3: And go kooks.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, BYU.
Speaker 1: Versus Utah, a robbery game O Holy War game b
YU and Utah meeting for the ninety seven time in
this long standing robbery BYU trails the series thirty three
to fifty nine.
Speaker 2: In their win loss column.
Speaker 1: The Cougars won the last two meetings twenty six to
seventeen with a winning and in twenty twenty one they
got to win at Rice Ecle Stadium twenty two twenty
one and shock the world with two consecutive victories that
forced it was the catalyst behind Mark Harlan's rant like,
out of all the things that have occurred in the
robbery game, like, what's the craziest thing to happen over
the last fifty years between fans, between coaches, between ads. Obviously,
we've had cheerleaders pummel fans. We've had Kyle Whittingham's family,
you know, get assaulted. We've had Max Hall have beer
thrown on his family. We've had Derek Stevenson's dad and fights.
Speaker 2: With fans and Derek went up into the stands.
Speaker 1: We've had Mark Harlan run onto the field of play
in eighty and then take over the pulpit.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're like We just had a BYU.
Speaker 1: Fan arrested for threats on social media saying he's gonna
kill Utah fans. There was a Utah student a couple
of years ago that said, like, if Utah loses that
he's gonna detonate some sort of nuclear reactor. Guys, I
don't know, you know, what's the craziest outlandish thing that's
occurred in this rivalry game? But I want to at
least ask you, Brad always bring the hammer? What would
you make of it? Oh Man?
Speaker 4: And then the other question that I would pose back
to you is does every rivalry have something like this?
Because to my knowledge, Michigan, Ohio State hasn't had an
ad run out onto the field. I don't think Auburn Georgia,
Auburn Alabama, Auburtety, Georgia, Tennessee, like, I don't think any
of those have had anything to the magnitude. But again,
I think, what is the thing? You always say something
breeds enmity?
Speaker 1: What's the word proximity breeds enmity? And then BYU and
Utah only forty miles apart.
Speaker 4: And then again you throw in the family, the religion,
the holy than now you think that your holy ear
than now you.
Speaker 2: Throwing church versus State.
Speaker 4: All that stuff just mixes for the worst concoction known
to the college football landscape. And in some ways it
almost feels like the Kalani of they don't know what
they're about to find out. It feels like the rest
of the country they don't know, but this rivalry they're
about to find out.
Speaker 1: Yep, BYU is one of eleven FBS teams remaining that
are still undefeated. Of the eleven, only Texas Tech and
Bill You remained from the Big twelve in twenty twenty four.
Member Boa made it nine to zero before suffering its
first defeat on November sixteenth. Hopefully they don't experience their
first defeat this week versus the Utes.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, we're live from Myers Meats.
