likes pop tarts. Do you like pop tarts?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, wait till we get to the pop tarts sounds specifically,
and then I'll ask Zach what's his favorite pop tart.
But Kalanie Shataki addressed the media a couple of weeks ago,
and we're gonna get into this sounds specifically. BAU takes
on Georgia Tech this Saturday, three thirty pm Eastern Time.
One thirty pm will be Mounted time local is the
kickoff time for the Pop Tarts Bowl. And I just
want to drop this. This is not really a cooger
inside report us a stat for someone else. It's a
stat really for Georgia Tech. I screenshot at it I'm
pretty sure. I hope I did. Yes, I did. And
this is what Stuart Mendel he quotes. Heated this been
retweeted on this page. Stuart Mendel says, this quickly becoming
America's most popular non college football playoff bowl game.
Speaker 2: I'll get your thoughts here on this, Zach.
Speaker 1: Before we get into the commentary from Kalinie Shataki, Georgia
Tech said pop Tarts Bowl ticket a lobman is Capital
letter sold out. Maybe this is just for Georgia Tech
fans in their portion, but it sounds like these this
bowl game potentially could be sold out. We have to
wait there from the Pop Tarts Bowl, but Georgia Tech
tickets are sold out, Zach and Stuart Mandel. Quickly becoming
America's most popular non conference college football playoff ball. First question, Zach,
why is the Pop Tarts Ball not a Constellation prize?
Speaker 2: That's number one?
Speaker 1: And your thoughts on Georgia Tech saying ticket allotments have
been sold out for their portion for fans.
Speaker 3: Okay, first off, why you're not getting a free supply
of pop Tarts for a year. This is a great question,
This is a great comment and we saw Chase Roberts
stress up as a pop tart during Bear's media availability.
Speaker 2: About oh, that that was a park that was Parker.
It was Parker.
Speaker 3: Excuse me, it is Parker Kingston that did that. But
that was like what two a week or two ago
that you did about a week ago, week ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
Speaker 3: Players will eat pop tarts, bro, It's like an easy
meal to kind of like.
Speaker 4: Get you going a little bit.
Speaker 3: You know, you're getting a little bit of cards in yourself.
You're getting a little sugar in yourself.
Speaker 4: Which you need. You need.
Speaker 3: You need that as an athlete too, you need some energy.
But why are you not getting a whole supply for
the team or like the other like the other programs,
like the basketball programs, or you know, the golf programs
and the track and meet program and like all those
other programs, why are you not getting that? To answer
your second question, Georgia Tech actually had a really great year. Yeah,
they had some ups and downs at the end of
the season where they didn't make the a c C Championship.
Speaker 2: That didn't.
Speaker 4: That belonged to who was it, Pitt? You played Miami
played Pitt.
Speaker 1: No, No, no, it was because Miami didn't make it
out of because Miami and it was Virginia and it
was it was it was Duke in Virginia, Duke in
Virginia winning, That's right. So you know, Georgia Tech did
have a great year. They're gonna have a phenomenal year
next year. And I do think that, you know, the
AP voters were a little leaning it towards the A
c C a little bit this year versus like the
Big twelve, And I don't even know I would even
say to the A c C a little bit too,
and some sort of sorts of teams.
Speaker 3: But it's just interesting. I mean, Georgia Tech's had a
great season. I think fans are excited to play a
Big twelve team in the Pop Tar Bowl, and especially
with the season that BYU is having with Bear under
the Helmets first year thing.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be an interesting game.
Speaker 3: And you know, BYU's coming out as a minus twent
and a half favorite in Orlando, So that's another thing byus
familiar playing in Orlando versus Georgia Tech has not played
a lot of games in Orlando, right, true, so I
think there's gonna be the difference of the neutral site
versus a home game. I know that BYU fans will
travel to Orlando, and as like you say.
Speaker 2: Orlando Orlando is true. That's what I say.
Speaker 1: Fans do travel good. They this brand travels. It's besides
Texas Tech. Because I don't want to be disrespectful, I
might have some recom fans DM me. They they're not
afraid to do that and we have a great relationship.
Shout out to all the Texas Tech fans that dm
ME saw me at the game. Appreciates you guys, always
supporting the content and they really pay attention to the
Red Raiders. Besides Texas Tech, that BYU and Texas Tech
I think probably the two best traveling fan bases. And
I can go back to last year when I went
to the Big Tell basketball tournam when I was in school,
Zach and I saw so many Red Raider fans. I'm like,
they're all I shouldn't say a long way, but I'm like,
they're coming up to Kansas City, not really a long
way from home, but I'm like, you came to you
came to.
Speaker 2: Missouri, you came to Missouri for this.
Speaker 1: Like Boa fans, it makes sense, right, there's a bunch
of Elvis ties. We went to church there as well.
You know, I saw the temple, so it makes sense, right.
You said there's bo fans everywhere the church to global aspect,
but Red Raiders fans do so yeah, you're right. I
think Boa fans are definitely gonna travel well for this game.
It's gonna be a lot of blue. But for Georgia
Tech fans this might be a sold out game. It's
gonna be a lot of white and gold and white
and blue in the stadium. So I'm excited for this.
And again, Stuart Mandel, I'm gonna go a step further
and book it. And maybe I need to have been
social media got to put this out and I should
have texted Brett to do this before he left. It's
not becoming the most popular popular, you know, no non
college football playoff bowl game. The Pop Tarts Bowl, to
me is the most popular non college football playoff bowl.
Speaker 2: I know it's all take, but I believe it is.
Speaker 1: It is like you think of the Pop Tards Bowl,
you think of the buys that have played in it,
the national attension, It's the game everybody wants to see.
Speaker 2: B Yu.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I got undermine but played in
it last played in Alamo bol last year. Could you
imagine Zach and b Yu and Colorado would have played
in the pop Tarts Bowl?
Speaker 2: He go into that you see have been you said,
that would have been amazing.
Speaker 1: Look, and I know that the buyout is bigger than
Alamo because they get first pick.
Speaker 2: But the pop Tarts Bowl is no Constellation Prize.
Speaker 1: And this game is gonna This game part some of
the players and even Kline and the guests that we've
had on. This is gonna help recruiting Zach. This is
gonna help that East Coast drive. Of those watching BYU,
This is gonna help those in a transfer portal that
are watching, or those that intend to still go, those
even at by you are thinking about going, that are
on the roster seeing this team play and compete and
winning this game against Georgia Tech, I think as it
can propel BYU for so much momentum, it really will.
So this game is a big time game, and I
don't I know Bo to make the CP.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 1: This game is just as important and you must come
out victorious because gon be a close the ball game
to agree, because Jorgia texs a good football team. But Bou,
you must win this game and they must showcase how
good of a team they are. Improved the committee, Hey,
they belonged. They they're gonna say we but boy, you
belonged on a college football playoff talk but they didn't
make it and you left them out or you shouldn't
have done that. That's gonna do that like our like
the text message I received, you gotta take the respect,
take their respect.
Speaker 2: In this game.
Speaker 1: Beating these ACC teams, beating these independent teams that you
know are affiliated with ACC. Doing that and then maybe
throwing in some big team teams. That's how you take
your respect. So you gotta take this respect. You gotta
go win this game. Like you said, Zach Bo, you
favored a little bit in this game. They should be.
But let's get to the commentary from Kolowney Satak. We're
gonna go question by question. Let's start with number one.
This is Klonie Sataki's opening statement when they had him
introduce himself and the team for the Pop Tarts Bowl.
Speaker 5: Of course, thank you.
Speaker 6: Uh really excited about the opportunity to play in this
bowl game, Pop Tarts Bowl, and uh we are excited
to accept the bid to play into it and officially
and to know who our opponent is. Georgia Tech. We
have a lot of respect for them. I have a
lot of respect for coach Brent Key. He's also a
guy that's coaching and his alma mater like I am,
and so I believe a couple of decades ago he
was a GA at Georgia Tech and I was a
GA at Buyu And now you look at us now
we're both leading our teams and get to meet in Orlando.
It's a wonderful place. I know Orlando really well. It's
the home of my in laws. So my wife is
from a Orlando area. She's a Polk County girl as
they say down there, and she's from Dundee and went
to Haynes City High So still have a lot of
connections there. I have a lot of family there in
that area too, So it's gonna be a lot of
fun and looking forward to the matchup Georgia Tech. I
see a lot of things in their program. It's very
similar to ours. I know that they are tough, and
they play really hard and they're not afraid to run
their quarterback as.
Speaker 5: Well well balanced team.
Speaker 6: I think well coached, and you look at what they
do fundamentally, well, this is everything, and so I'm looking
forward to the matchup, and we know it's going to
require us being at our best and just looking forward
to the opportunity to play again with these seniors and
to play again as a team, and to do it
in a wonderful setting. I think it'll be warmer there
than it is here in Provo, Utah. So we'll be
excited for that during the holidays, and just looking forward
to all of it, all the festivities and everything that
goes into a bowl game, and we know that Pop
Tarts Bowl does it the right way. And we're really
excited about the matchup and excited to play again as
a team.
Speaker 1: So yeah, look, they are excited to play. Colooney's comment
on this. Numerous of occasions, we played as many sound
clips for you guys as possible, not a consolation prize,
nobody really opting out. From what we know, the team
leaves has left today. I'm pretty sure. I don't know
if they've taken off already. I think they have been.
I think they are currently in the air, but they're
flying to Orlando right now. They're going down to Orlando
taking off today a bunch of festivities. I think they're
going to go to two out of the three parks
Disney World. I think they're gonna be going to Universal.
My wife and I personally love Universal. I tell you
guys all the time. I think as you get older
as a kid, you become less about Disney. You become
a Harry Potter family. And that's because kids get older.
I could be wrong about that. I know we were
Disney kids growing up, love going to the parks, and
now we're more Universal Harry Potter type nerds.
Speaker 2: Wife is Ravenclaw. I am Griffin Door.
Speaker 1: If you're curious and interested to know it all, we'll
see what my daughter is as well. Right now, I
just maybe say she's hulf a Puff because she's always
happy and loves to see dad when he comes home. Anyway,
back to the main point and the main thing being
the main thing, Georgia Tech is a really good football team.
Colonie sataka excited to be there. He has ties, he's
gonna have a bunch of family. Wife is from there,
so it's gonna be a good vacation for him. He's
excited for the food, the weather, Colonie. I might challenge
you on the weather. Look, I know Florida weather's good.
But right now, Zach, you and I both walked outside.
You walk to the studio. I'm here in our ben
or Will studios. Dude, it is a beautiful day today.
I came out with the jacket, think it was gonna
be cold, because if Chicago is like negative six and
for the snow, there's no snow. The sun is out, bro,
And I honestly, I took off my jacket and I'm
in a short sleeve collar shirt today.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's it's warm. I mean it's it's gloomy out.
It's gloomy looking a little bit. But you know, growing
up in Park City as it was younger, like it
was like minus fifteen minus one, minus two. Yeah, like
it got cold up there, man, and it did. It's
just crazy to see how how warm it is for
both of these places, Like I for those who are
new they listening to me, who have not listened to
me in like four months off. So I'm a sushi
chef and in Park City, snow is what we need
for business, and we haven't gotten no snow, which is
kind of killing us. But hopefully after this this holiday
kind of runs byble we'll start picking up. But it's
just it's crazy how warm it is. And I'm like,
I'm in a lightweight hoodie and I'm like still warm.
Speaker 1: Oh man, yes, crazy. Hopefully the sushi shot picks up.
Shout out to you. We got to make sure that
we stop by it. Come come show you some love here,
all of us here in our team. Let's get the
number two. Keep going along before we go to break Kilani. Obviously,
new started breaking that you might possibly play Notre Dame.
This is going back a couple of weeks, so I
know this is old, but they were drew. Did that
get out to players at all? What was your reaction?
Speaker 2: And now that you're getting another the quality opponent in Georgia.
Speaker 6: Tech, Well, obviously we played yesterday and didn't do as
well as we wanted to, but you know, getting on
the plane, we knew and then even out of the
locker room, we knew we were going to play another game,
and the goal was to create as many opportunities to
play together as possible, So we created one more this
year than we had last year.
Speaker 5: We got to the championship game. That was a cool experience.
Speaker 6: Even though it didn't work out the way we wanted to,
we have to be thankful for that opportunity and look
forward to trying to get everything we can to get
back to that game again next year. And part of
that is the being able to boat prep and to
develop our young guys and develop our depth. So we're
gonna utilize all the extra practices to get our team
ready and then just make sure that we're ready to
go because Georgia Tech is not an easy team to play.
I mean, they do a lot of things that would
be difficult for us, and I know they're going to
be at their best and we have to be at
ours two. And there's a sense of urgency to get
that going and knowing that it can help us into
next year. I don't know all the other specifics behind
in the details. We're just honored to play Georgia Tech.
Speaker 1: It is honored to play Georgia Tech. Briank, he's a
good coach. Don't don't, don't don't get that twisted, Brian,
He's a good coach. It's a good football team. Remember
this team beat Colorado, went in the Boulder and beat
Colorado by you also wanted a boulder one, but uh,
they won by a larger margin. Then a quarterback is
running all over the place, and it all starts with him.
He can throw the ball, he can run it. He
can you know, do the pitch read option. So Bo's
defense is gonna be tested. Its gonna be tested with
the good football team for sure. Obviously this was the
day after, you know, when they lost in the victory
title game. Knew they weren't getting too the College Football playoffs.
Was supposed to play Notre Dame. But I think everything
shaped to a head. You got the home and home
in Norre Dame. Now they're gonna play Georgia Tech. It's
been a merry Christmas BYU fans. Uh. The only best,
the only possible thing that's gonna make you feel better
is that BYU was a ten seed, was to where
Miami at and they beat Texas. Text saying him, so
did they possibly make you feel better? Only possible thing?
But I think this is definitely just as good of
a Christmas gift, if not better. I know people like
Ron there's nothing better than going to the college football playoffs.
He asked it, but let me remind you bear would
he have been able to get healed up quick enough?
Speaker 2: Is the question?
Speaker 1: You know, because he got rolled up on them that
that drive you know by Lee Hunter. Would he have
been able to be healthy enough to play in that game?
Would it have looked the same way? I know it
was a defensive effort, but would be he just have
been a shell of himself? Isach Glaska we heard sound
last week if his ankle has been bugging him since Colorado?
Speaker 2: Would that have been the question? You know?
Speaker 1: Kline says, bears fol go back in practice? How limited
to a bear be? So maybe an extra week of
rest is good? Maybe it is in hindsight twenty twenty
So I always want people to, you know, keep that
in mind that, oh yeah, the college football playoffs, but yeah,
with how much of that would have been with BOE's
offensive line being able to protect bear good enough? So
we're gonna find out in a week. But I think
it's it's good. Nonetheless, let's go ahead and jump to
number four. Let's go here, Kolane, number four? Would this
game you noted the extra bowl practices? How do you
use this as a springboard for twenty twenty six and
get the most opportunities as well as given the most
opportunities to those in your senior class right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you have to, you know, follow the
momentum that you have from the season and then and
then you have to develop the young guys. So and in
a lot of ways, it might be different types of practices,
you know, we're trying to get And the thing is
we can use all our red shirts just like we
did in the championship game, and so it makes things
a little bit different, but it makes even more fun.
Everybody has an opportunity to participate. And you know, we've
got to get back to practicing though. I mean, I
know we'll have a couple of days off to get
the guys over the season to heal quickly, but then
we got to get back to work.
Speaker 1: Gotta gotta get the guys healed and back to work quickly,
which they have Isaach Glasker practicing, Bear practicing.
Speaker 2: So I think they're going to be healthy.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be healthy, going to be able to play,
and some of these.
Speaker 2: Guys their final college football game ever.
Speaker 1: Some of these guys, like Klinie mentioned in the last
media availability we played last week, they won't play football
ever again. They're going to the corporate world, so this
is the opportunity for them to play. They might have
jobs in Orlando. It's a great network and that's why
these bowl games and these trips they matter. Look, I
played rugby for the team. I found out very quickly,
Oh you're not going to play professionally, and that's okay.
But in there I have teammates that still are and
that are playing at the highest level and then still
due to a degree, but that's what it was. So
the relationships connections I made at BYU and working hard
helped me to the career and the job I have today.
So those do matter. They do matter for sure, Colonie.
I just let's come full circle and maybe we need
to discuss this more with you in the offseason. What
does impressed you the most about Bear just through his
entire first year.
Speaker 6: Well, I've been impressed with him, you know, a true freshman,
has done a great job leading our offense, and just
really impressed with his progress that he's made.
Speaker 5: Glad that he gets to be with us for a while.
Speaker 6: But we're going against a quarterback in Haines King that's
that seasoned and he's a he does I mean, he
can throll the but he's also he's the leading rusher too,
so he does a lot of things right.
Speaker 5: And I think he'll be good for us watching the.
Speaker 6: Film and think for Bear to see how how other
quarterbacks do it. He's he's a learning machine, so he's
gonna get better even from yesterday. He'll get better from
that experience. And I look forward to seeing him when
he takes the field again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So look, I think that's a very important comment to
make you know how impressive Bear has been this whole year.
You know, a true freshman coming in, and the key
is get him for a little bit longer they do.
Speaker 7: Go Now.
Speaker 1: To the listeners people, I'm telling you this quarterbacks can
improve and then a Rod system he's gonna thrive.
Speaker 2: The reason why they're eleven to two.
Speaker 1: Like Justin and in my interview that we heard a
couple of weeks ago, they're eleven to two because of
a Rod. Bear has to go execute plays, yes, but
because of a Rod's system. That is why they're eleven
and two point blank period. It's no need for discussions.
Has everything looked pretty?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Do I necessary and hit the button at the right
exact mark. All the time.
Speaker 1: No, with a starting lineup, No, do I necessarily get
the you know call the guests right on Tom always?
Not necessarily Do I get this? Do I sometimes have
a technical difficulty?
Speaker 4: Two?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: But overall this one of the best shows talking about
BA sports every day you get a good content show.
Sometimes in the actual live game situation, it doesn't always
go up to par. But eleven and two is great
with an opportunity to get a twelfth win. So you
guys are just gonna give credit to Bear. Where's the
credit for a Ron and Kalani? A Rod deserves a
bunch of credit an opportunity to get a twelfth win.
This offense has been great even with the injuries that
they have, So you gotta give a rok credit with
no running back, then some of that might be accountable. If, yeah,
they banked on certain things and it didn't work out.
I don't think they'll let that happen again. With who's
coming in, I think Devon Ekka's gonna play. I think
they're gonna go to the Portal as well. Think LJ
is gonna be retained. It's crazy that I'm changing my
take on that. I think lj's gonna come back and
they're gonna have him back and play, So they're gonna
have a loaded running back room and that's gonna help
Bear in the run game and help Bay you actually
get to the College form playoffs again.
Speaker 2: I go back to what I said a few moments ago.
Speaker 1: Would you want to see them playing against Texas A
and M with just LJ and Bear and I hurt
Bear at that matter, would Bear have been seventy percent
without an extra week?
Speaker 2: You don't know.
Speaker 1: You don't know, but I think, like I said that
what they're going to now in the pop Tarts ball
and what they have accompats with the home and home.
You gotta look back on it. You always got to
turn around look back at it. You gotta look back.
And I think once you look back at the twenty
twenty five twenty six season, you'll see that it was
a glorious one, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: But who's Aidan's king. Let's get to know the quarterback.
Speaker 1: That BYU's defense is going to be going up against.
He's a senior six or three from Texas has just
under twenty seven hundred yards by three yards short, twenty
six ninety seven.
Speaker 2: To be exact.
Speaker 1: He's thrown twelve touchdowns, has five ironts, and has a
quarterback rating of seventy eight. This is a good quarterback.
This is a very very good quarterback. I don't want
people to overlook this guy. This guy can definitely run
him maneuver the ball. He's running the ball one hundred
and seventy eight times for nine hundred and twenty two
yards almost one thousand yards rushing, and he's got fifteen
yards on the ground. He is more dangerous on the
ground probably than he is through the air. But we
know how it goes. The run sets up the pass.
Got to look out for this kid. Got to look
out for him on the ground. Boeres Boi had problems
at Zach even though this is a little bit, even
watching the Utah game, watching the Colorado game, dual third
quarterbacks quarterbacks that run. This kid was a former four star,
number seven dual a third quarterback, number sixteen prospect Texas
in his class one hundred and tenth prospect nationally. It's
a good kid. This is a good quarterback. Guys s
kicking ball. This kicking ball. The red shirt senior, he's
a three star in the portal but that doesn't matter.
I look at him as a four star. This kid
can definitely sling the football and he definitely can run
in It all starts with him. But you've given j
Hill a lot of time. You've given j Hill three
weeks to prepare for this guy. Maybe two and a half,
but two to three weeks. Jaal is opportunity to scout
this guy. The last time Jay Hill had an opportunity
to scot a quarterback for that long, Shdur Sanders was
on tape saying, I don't know where it's coming from.
He was confused, the pressure was everywhere in his face.
So what will happen? We will find out in just
a few days. Let's get this so you guys get
here from the man himself, number six Killane. The last
game was on the twenty eighth. Will you follow the
same pattern of going to you know, before spending Christmas
in Orlando?
Speaker 2: How you manage to get around all of that.
Speaker 6: We've had Sundays every every weekend this year, So we'll
be good.
Speaker 5: Jay. We'll make it work.
Speaker 6: And we've had it during bowl games too, and we'll
organize it. I mean, we'll be Everything that we do
is detailed, and so we'll have a plan for all
of it. Obviously, we'd love to get to Orlando as
soon as possible. Was early as they let let us come.
And I know the guys want to be down there
and they're excited for it, and I think there's gonna
be a lot of fans there, you know, supporting us too.
So but with the schedule and everything, I'm not worried
about it.
Speaker 5: We'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Well, the schedule and everything. He's not worried about it,
as he shouldn't be. So yeah, they left today, leaving today,
arriving in Orlando, and then they'll have a bunch of stuff.
So byum, gonna be arriving in Orlando later this evening
and gonna be doing all the festivities. I myself will
be going to the game as well. I'll take off
on Christmas Day. We'll land in Orlando late that night.
We'll be at the press conference Friday. Will be trying
some pop tart flavors too. I'll keep you guys updated.
Follow me on ron a three man weave if you
want to see all of the action as well. Let's
go ahead and get to number nine. I want to
get to this one. I think this is a very
very big important topic. It's the capitol j journalism. On
the lighter note, Kalanie, what's your favorite pop tar flavor?
Speaker 2: And Colonie? I know you you cannot say all of them, but.
Speaker 6: I haven't met a pop tart flavor I didn't like.
But I will say this, I'm pretty easy. Strawberry is
always the one to go to because I think that's
the one everybody tried first. I like the strawberry. I
do like wildberry, not against on sugar and cinnamon. Let
me see what else can I name? Cherry's good to
uh oh, the cookies and cream is.
Speaker 5: A good one too. So I don't know. I love
them all, but if.
Speaker 6: If someone's being judgmental around me, then I'm probably gonna
go with the one that's not frosted, just to shut
him up a little bit.
Speaker 2: Hey, look, I'm with him.
Speaker 1: I would shut someone up to Don't you dare disrespect
the pop tarts. Speaking of pop tarts, Zach, I need
to ask you, now you know this question was coming
your favorite pop tart.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna have to bring it to you, brother.
But I can't eat pop tarts because I have Ceil
the Act.
Speaker 2: But why did you just hurt? Why did you make
me feel that bad?
Speaker 3: That's good, fine, don't worry about it, dude, I've been
I've been Ceiliac for the last like I do math
now hold on almost eighteen years now.
Speaker 4: I turned twenty.
Speaker 2: Four in March. Oh my goodness, brother.
Speaker 3: Man, I got diagnosament. I was really young, like six
years old probably. But if I had to pick one,
I'm always a brown sugar guy. I like the brown
sugar cinnamon. I would say maybe the frosted one of
the frosted ones as well, because you can't go wrong
with frosting.
Speaker 4: Dude, You're just like you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't go wrong with the o G Strawberry. Trey
Alexander has been harping on this in.
Speaker 2: All the bou videos.
Speaker 1: If you go watch it, frosted strawberry pop tarts, that
is the OG.
Speaker 2: That's what I had in my house. It is the OG.
Speaker 1: But I'm also with this, Brett and I said this
on the podcast this morning. If you want to go
check it out us on Believe Network, where you get.
Speaker 2: Your podcast network from.
Speaker 1: If you're an unfrosted guy, I do kind of look
at you sideways gonna going to I don't know how
you could eat on frosted pop tart when there's s'mores.
I haven't tried that one. That one's good. Hot fudge
is good. I've heard that. You know the confetti cupcake.
You need to try that one. To try the cookies
and cream one, obviously, I know cherry's good. The brown
sugar one, like you said, that's frosted dope. Don't try
to get me. Even the protein ones that they got
brown cinnamon protein one is delicious. I've also tried to
sit him a roll one. That one's really nice. Shout
out to b Yu and given some of the media
members pop tarts to take home. Kenny Cox is going
home with a lot too. A They're good man, They're good,
and they're easy for the kiddos.
Speaker 2: Quick.
Speaker 1: You pop them in the toaster and you keep it put.
But I want to try when I get to get
to Florida, the frosted cinnamon pop tarts bites.
Speaker 2: I haven't tried the bites.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the bites and even got poppers
poppers guys.
Speaker 2: So look, I know I'm promoting to pop tarts.
Speaker 1: Usually be eating pop tarts this week maybe for a
Christmas tradition, since By's going to the pop Tarts Bowl,
I'll beat pop tarts every Christmas from here on out.
And actually I'll be declared of on that. If BYU
wins the pop Tarts Bowl Christmas tradition and the Weaver
who Rock's household, I will eat pop tarts for the
rest of my life for Christmas, and I'll post a
video of it.
Speaker 2: I will, and I'll let the fans pick the flavors.
I'll even let you guys do that.
Speaker 1: I'll let people pick the flavor that I will have
every Christmas here if BYU wins the pop Tarts Bowl,
because that's how much I want to celebrate and I
want to give glory and victory of pop tarts. I'm
not dressing up as a pop tart, don't do that,
but I will definitely try some and I'll eat that.

minute break, don't go into it. Don't you turn that
FM dial. We'll be back in three minutes. We're gonna
get into a little college football talk. Zach Robinson and
I are going to recap the college football playoffs right
here on a flip in one moment, right here on
one O three nine and ninety eight three ESP.
Speaker 7: You were listening to Cougar Sports with Ben Krettle and
it's time for a Cougar Insider report. Now, let's get
that for a prietary inside scoop on Cougar Sports from Credle.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Cougar Sports here on one of three
nine to ninety eight three ESP and the Ronald the
three man. We be here, Zach Robinson by my side.
Gonna get into a little inside or report, Gonna get
into what I told you guys this earlier. Are prepped
it in the first hour. Where are we going to
be for Big twelve many days? Where we're gonna be? Well,
where we're gonna be. We're gonna be at the same
place that we were this past year. I've been everywhere
so far for the Big twelve media days and know
people like ron why are you already talking about the offseason? Like, look,
spring ball is gonna come. I don't know if he's
gonna do a spring game.
Speaker 2: They should.
Speaker 1: I think I think this is where you if you
want to change what Kalanie Sataki said in the in
the MEETA days earlier. He talked about playing ACC teams,
SEC Big ten teams. They all play each other and
that's how you do it based off and non conference.
Maybe what you do is you play your spring game
against SCS teams. I think that's where you play it,
I really do. I think they should change it to that.
Don't know if that will happen, but I think it's
a great idea of what Kilani said. And then you
play those specific teams so they can still get paid,
can still come out.
Speaker 2: You ticketed. It's the one big game you can build
it up.
Speaker 1: You can build it up, and it's the spring gaming
and you know you have it then, so we'll see
as well. I know they also do the Alumni game
as well, I think in March two, So those are
two big events you should do. You don't take it
for the alumni game, but your ticket for definitely a
spring game, and I think that's what they should do.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens.

heat sinks in car gets too hot. Is there anything
that we can do? He's like, hey, I got the
ten chrome deleite, you name it. I'll take care of you.
Speaker 2: Hook it up. And that's what they do with Utah
Protective Films.
Speaker 1: If you neither wrap a tent or a chrome delete
Jared blets with the former BYUI receiver. Who if I
could say this not just his services, but who he is.
He is a great person, a great individual. Every time
I'm around Jared, I've been uplifted with the spirit and
I just I feel like I grow better as a
person I leave every interaction with them and like, man,
I need to do better in the world. So please
surround yourself with good people. Most importantly, that's the main
thing that you need.
Speaker 2: To do in your life.
Speaker 1: If you're down, if the holidays aren't going the way
you want to go, find someone in your life that
is going to uplift you the way Jared blood Celle
uplifts me. I just want to say that, like very
positive energy, love, great great individual, great person. I hope
that I can continue to live my life in such
a way that I can become half of the person
of who he is and what he's become. And you're
gonna feel that when you interact with him. And you
can also take care of your car. It's always good
to have a guy that can enhance your vehicle, but
it's also even better to have the person in your
life who you can go to and turn two for advice.
Speaker 2: Great individual, great father. Just wanted to make sure.
Speaker 1: I just touch on that, and that's why I love
going to Utah Protective Films.

care of me. Wife is gonna pick the car up.
Speaker 1: She has no idea what it's gonna look like I

be amazed with that wrap that ten and at chrome delete.
So you get fifteen percent off. When you mentioned ESPN
or bent critinal ESPN or being crital, you're gonna get
a fifteen percent off any service. Pretty sure that they're
still just for this month, they're still doing that taxi direction,
so you're gonna get taxes off as well. If I'm wrong,
Jared will text me and he will let me know
and say, hey, don't say that, but you're gonna get
fifty percent off your service and no taxes. So let
the former BYUI receiver who's been helping the football team
and basketball players help you as well. They got beautiful raps.
He did a beautiful job on my tent for my forward.
He can help you too, Scots at that appointment today,
give him a call today. Utah Protective Film said eight
zero one, eight hundred nine to seven six seven. That's
eight zero one, eight hundred nine seven sixty seven. All right,
let's do it, Zach, favorite game of the weekend, favorite game,
but just a little NFL breaking news to talk about that.
DJ metcalfs haspit in two games for fan altercation. Pulled
the fan down out of this things pulling on him
at Forfield said that he said the N word caught
him the C word. My goodness. Just oh, athletes and
fans are always getting in to it. So just what
to say that that is a that is something that's happening.
DK Metcalf has been suspended, So I just wanted to
point that out because that just hit my phone, Zach.
But let's get back to college football. Best game over
the weekend that you saw.
Speaker 5: Ooh.
Speaker 3: So I wasn't able to catch some rest of the
Old Miss game or the Alabama game just because we
had a Utah men's basketball and the sister station, but
they able to catch James Madden Organ game. I was
really entertained with James Madden Oregon. I mean, Oregon obviously
gonna kind of put belt a booty a little bit here,
just because James Madsens is not.
Speaker 4: A P four school.
Speaker 3: But Organ's only allowed thirty point thirty plus points once
this season, and that was against James Madison. Other games
they have not allowed thirty points, which I thought was
an interesting stat that I saw the day after or
I guess yesterday I should say, uh during, you know,
me watching my Broncos get destroyed. But I think that
it was almost entertaining game for me, honestly, Like a
lot of these games are high scoring, a lot of
them are close. I think Oregon and Alabama was a
close second game that I really enjoyed watching Miami and
Texas A and M We're kind of pouring just because
it was such a They're both good teams and it's
a defensive battle in college station, Like you can't complain
about that and call it a station, but you also
want to have some electric plays in that game as well.
And then I was not expecting too Lane to do
go far even though Jake Retzloft did have a taste
of the college football playoffs. Great for him, good for him.
Old Miss clearly not going to struggle with outlane Kivin
I think this upcoming matchup, but Georgia is gonna be
a tough one for Old miss in Chamberlain.
Speaker 4: So we'll see what I mean, what are you? What
about you? What about? What was your game of the week?
Speaker 1: Look, I think I'll be Aufans are definitely watching Jake
Retz laugh and two lane waves as being a fan
of supporting net Jake Rettz laff is still Jake Retz laugh.
I think we can all say that you thought maybe
you could go up against you know, Old Miss and
take them down. Could they be Nope, even without Lane
Kiff and Old Miss is still old Miss.
Speaker 2: So no, that did not happen. But hey, he got there.
Speaker 1: He got there, and ba he did not, So that's
something you can always flex on. So I turned that
one off after about you know, the second quarter.
Speaker 2: I watched the entire organ James Madison game.
Speaker 1: Was just disappointed and that James Madison just didn't execute
down the stretch. But Texas Tech will take care of
him in the Orange Bowl. I'm not even worried about it.
And then I think the biggest game that everybody was watching,
the biggest upset, not really even really an upset, was
Alabama versus Oklahoma, or as I should say, choke Oklahoma,
because they just choked the game away, decided that they
you know, wanted to get outscored in the ball game.
After the second quarter, just what twenty seven to seven
couldn't scratch it? That's like a basketball run in the
second half. Was tied at the half, and I say,
Oklahoma's not gonna win this game. So again Venables lost,
So it makes you question, So I bery defens get upset,
makes you question should Oklahoma been in the playoffs? I
know that contractly wise, James Madison is too lane have
to go. But even Texas A and M. People thought
Texas A and M was fraudulent. Always gonna be questions.
But that's the first round. That's how these games go, Zach.
They're gonna be upsets. People aren't gonna perform well. People
are gonna get boat steamed. I really think Texas Tech
is gonna boat steam Morgan. I know people Dan Lanny's
got something up his sleeve. Have you seen the Texas
Tech defense? I don't they show you their entire hand
and dare you to do something? You still can't do
anything about it. But yeah, old Miss Tulane was a
blowout Miami.
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. That was crazy.
Speaker 1: Was a pitcher's duel for crying out loud malachay TONI
I think the story he fumbled and then recover was
able to take it to the house. Shout out to
former BYU wide receiver Keelan Marion on being on the
Miami team contributed season and now they take on Ohio
State and the Cotton Bowl. Think that might be the
end of the line for them. Jeremiah Smith is just
that dude. So let's go ahead and pick. You know,
we'll pick some games now, Zach. So just let everybody know.
These games aren't gonna be played until New Year's Eve
or New Year's Day, so teams will get a week
off and then they will take on their teams. Let's
start with the ten am game that's gonna be on ESPN.
You're gonna have Oregon versus Texas Tech. Zach, who you're
picking in that win?
Speaker 2: And why.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna take the upside here and say Oregon.
Oregon's got a high powered offense.
Speaker 3: They looked really good against James Madison, even though James
Madison did not score a lot. I mean, you'll put
up thirty four points against Oregon. That's that's pretty good.
That's a pretty good brag. I would say against a
Big ten school, that's a good brag.
Speaker 4: Right, But I think.
Speaker 3: Oregon's gonna continue the momentum. I mean, we saw this
last year with Ohio State and Notre Dame when they
played in the College Football Championship last last season. Like
those guys were in first round, we'll say, I'm gonna
say first round. I'm gonna call it wild card, whatever
you're Oregon's offense is high powered. Their defense stepped up
really good against James Madison. And I think that this
Texas Tech offense well house some struggles since they haven't
played a game since the beginning of December. They've had
a whole month off run. That's the other thing to
think about too, that Texas Tech has had a whole
month off So I think that's gonna be a big
impact on all all these top four schools. And I
think we saw that impact last year a little bit too,
with the top four schools from last year.
Speaker 4: And I take Oregon here, like, oh.
Speaker 1: You're gonna take Oregon. Oh wow, I'm definitely not taking Organ.
I have beef with Dan Lanning. He's a good individual,
he's a great coach. UH just don't like him, and
I think he needs to have his confidence shattered. And
I think Joey mcgridd and the Red Raiders who do that, look,
I do think and Organ's favored in this game too,
by the way. That lets you know how they feel
about the Big twelve. They got Oregon favored.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I do think Oregon will start faster than Texas Tech,
especially in the first quarter. But I think when the
Texas Tech gets dialed, they are unstoppable to beat. They
are They've had every They've answered all the questions to
the test, They've always had the adjustments.
Speaker 2: No one's been able to stump them.
Speaker 1: I know that Arizona State beat him, but that was
with Dow Baron Morton, and that was on the road,
and they took the lead in the game. The defense
don't stop. It's not like they just went it to bed.
Will Hammond couldn't throw the touchdown and then ran for
the two point of ren like they they took the lead.
Thinks Tech is a good team. So I'm going with
the Red Raiders. They the Red Raiders are gonna win
it all if I'm gonna be honest. But I think
the re Riders get it done. Uh, let's move on
Alabama Indiana. Look Rose Bowl gotta love it, but Mendoza
has been a dog this year. Alabama's no joke, but
Indiana ain't coming to play games. They're coming to take titles.
They want that Rolls Bowl was etched into their name.
Mendoza's a baller. I'm going Indiana. I think Ianna gets Alabama,
but I am picking Alabama to cover.
Speaker 2: I think it will be a field goal game. I
have to pick an Alabama to cover.
Speaker 3: I agree with you on that. I think this is great.
This is gonna be a really close game. Absolutely, but
I'm have to go Indiana. Here at Mendoza is that
dude like like you, he's got that dog in him,
we'll say different, right, And he's got younger brothers on
that team too, who's gonna be a great mentor? Who
is younger brother who could possibly potentially win a Heisman
when he's playing to starting quarterback Indiana or wherever he
else he's gonna play. So I think it's been close.
I'm gonna go Indiana. And I think that's just where
like Alabama's kind of road to the championship kind of ends.
And I think where you go to the drawing board
and figure out what you're gonna do with the boyer.
Is Ty Samson are gonna leave? Is he gonna stay?
What's the recruiting that you looked like. The transfer is
gonna be look like. I think that's the thing where
you and your your ENDR championship run and go back
to the dragon board.
Speaker 2: A lot of.
Speaker 1: Questions will be answered, and I think Banana Mendoza is
gonna let people know exactly who he is. You're gonna
show up in this Rose Bowl ball out and then
they'll take on Texas Tech in the semi finals. Will
be January eighth. Let's move on down to the All
State Sugar Bowl. We got George Alabama. I'm just gonna
get right to it. Brett always bringing the hammer, would
love this. I'm taking Georgia to beat Ole Miss in
this game. I don't care if Old misscovers, don't care
what it is. Georgia I think advances to the semi finals.
Kirby smartest that dude. I don't think Old Miss will
have enough. I'm going Georgia in this one.
Speaker 3: Zach, Yeah, I'm gonna take Georgia as well. I think
this is gonna be a field goal game though, as well,
because Old Miss Big Cover. Old Missus offense is a
is really good. Even without link Kiffin, you still have weapons.
I mean, this is the best year the Old Missus
had in program history.
Speaker 4: Eleven to one.
Speaker 3: I guess twelve to one now if you they think
about it. But this is the best program like years
they've had in the program. So I think Old Missus
offense is gonna be like, all right, we got to
step up. Our defense is to play really good against
Georgia's high powered offense and when we get some points
on the board. Obviously, I think Georgia is still gonna
win this because it is in Atlanta, and Georgia is
very very familiar playing at.
Speaker 4: The City VNS Stadium.
Speaker 3: Home field basic advantage, so I'm still gonna take Gegia
here up.
Speaker 4: But I think it's gonna be a really close game.
Speaker 1: Home field advantage, Georgia ball game, Georgia booking it right down. Gods,
That's what I'm gonna gonna say with that.
Speaker 2: Look. But I also, like you said, I think it
could be a one score game.
Speaker 1: The man they call win a dad, win a dad,
Trinidad Chamberless is gonna have something to say about that.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a good game.
Speaker 1: Look, I think we got the best teams then we
got well, I think got the right teams in this
quarterfinal matchup. Nothing against those that lost, but I think
everybody they made it to the quarterfinal deserve to be
there and should. And the final one Ohio State versus Miami.
I was declared of at the beginning. Ohio State more
than covers in my opinion, I don't think they'll be
able to stop Miami. It's explosive off excuse me, Ohio
States exposed offense. I think Miami. I don't think they
get both team, but I think it will be an
offensive game. Jeremiah Smith has a day. They move on
to the Fiesta Bowl. I'm going to Ohio State and
to cover that nine and a half for sure. In
the Cotton Bowl, I got Ohio State number two seed,
taken on Georgia in the semi final, and then I
got Texas Tech tacking on Indiana in the semi final.
In that Peach Bowl, Zach, you got Oregon at the
top of the bracket taking on Indiana. Then you got
Georgia who you got for that Cotton Bowl as your winner?
Speaker 3: So for you for you don't know this, but my
dad is from Ohio, right, oh I don't.
Speaker 1: Know that, So I don't like your dad anymore. I'm
just I'm sorry, Okay, I don't like. So it's fine, Histic.
We all get along because we all don't like Michigan,
but we also can't like. I also don't like what
I have to poke like that. But you did not
get along because we both ate on Michigan.
Speaker 4: Yep, exactly.
Speaker 3: And you know, I grew up watching Ohio State football.
I grewup watching Utah football. But I'm gonna go to
the Higo State here. Julian Citians having a great year
as a sophomore. I was not expecting Julian Saying to
have the best year after winning the championship, as Will
Howard's leaving Julian Saying transferring in from Alabama. But he
had a really great year, and I think it's because
the weapons around him with uh, Jeremiah Smith and Carnel Tate.
I think those were great weapons and that the defense
is lethal. Matt Patrici has done a great job with
that team.
Speaker 2: He's a phenomenon.
Speaker 3: And Caleb Downs is gonna be a first round pick,
absolutely for sure. And I think his main focus is
trying to get back to back championships here obviously, but
obviously he's gonna be a great.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be a great NFL safety though. In the NFL.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he definitely is, no doubt about it. You bring
up a very good point. Oo man, this this is
a good is a good ball team. So that's what
we got, So we will see. Those are our picks
for the semi final. I think most fans would have it.
And look, you want to see if Georgia can knock
off Ohio State. You want to see if you know
Ohio State can go back to back. I'm willing to
see that. You know, we're well in to see. As
long as it's not Michigan and Jim Harball, they can
kick rocks. But you're really rooting for the Red Raiders.
You're rooting for the Red Raiders. If you're listening because
you want to help the Big twelve, you want by
