Speaker 2: I appreciate you hopping on to talk some some hoop today.

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,000
But the first thing I want to ask you is

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,519
this last year there was ups and downs, trials and tribulations.

38
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:44,400
Obviously ups, ups and downs lead to led to a transition.

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Lee Kamard ends up becoming the head coach of BYU.

40
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,599
What's the difference this year with this squad, this team,

41
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,319
this culture, this coaching staff compared to maybe last year.

42
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:57,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we have a great squad right now.

43
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Leek Marv has done a great job of just you know,

44
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:07,799
bringing in high standards and bringing in girls who want

45
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,199
to work together and want what's best for the team

46
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,800
and just want to compete and work hard. So it's

47
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,960
it's been fun so far.

48
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,599
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's been awesome to watch what, uh, what

49
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:21,039
has stood out to you about the personnel this year?

50
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:24,280
You know, who can we highlight on this team and

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,360
about the you know between all the gals and the chemistry.

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,319
Speaker 3: That you guys have right now? What stood out to

53
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:29,680
you there?

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's so fun because we have such

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,280
a young group of girls. Obviously, we have a great,

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,439
great supporting cast from last year and girls that were

57
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560
here last year, but we also have a have a

58
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,759
bunch of new girls that you know, they're either freshmen's

59
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:52,159
or we've got transfers and they've just kind of bought

60
00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:56,759
into our culture and just been really successful. We have

61
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,400
freshmen freshman star guards did they and Olivia Hamlin have

62
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,439
been so good, just such high energy players and just

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,919
you know, they're really young, but they've really just stepped

64
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,840
up and helped us be successful so far.

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,319
Speaker 2: You've been balling as well, sixteen point nine points, three game,

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,159
three point seven rebounds, five is says, shooting forty percent

67
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:22,199
from the field. What do you attribute your success to

68
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,439
this year? Taking your your game to the next level

69
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:24,960
this season.

70
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I feel like I had a successful

71
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:32,520
year last year, and so really I just wanted to

72
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,599
build off that, taking more of a leadership role this

73
00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:39,520
year and just continuing to, you know, grow my game

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,400
and try and get better in all aspects of the game.

75
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:46,000
I feel like I obviously was here last year, and

76
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,840
so I know coach coach Lee really well and no

77
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,159
kind of a style of play that he wanted to play,

78
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:55,919
and it's like I just benefit really well off of it.

79
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,680
We like to play fast, and we like to shoot

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,719
a lot of threes, which is is how I loved

81
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:01,520
play basketball.

82
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,159
Speaker 3: Yeah.

83
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,719
Speaker 2: How would you describe Lee Kmart as a coach and

84
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,919
what he's trying to institute culturally with this squad, with

85
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360
this locker room.

86
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he's He's been great. It's super cool

87
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,199
to see him transition from an assistant spot to now

88
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:22,560
our head coach. He he's intense and he's so competitive,

89
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,519
and so it's super fun to be able to have

90
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,680
him as our head coach. You know, he he holds

91
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:31,439
us to the highest standard, and he expects excellence, and

92
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:33,399
he expects us to come in and work hard every

93
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,519
single day. And so I think having a head coach

94
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:38,920
that just you know, expects so much out of us,

95
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,399
but also instills confidence in us and really builds us

96
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:45,360
up at the same time is just a perfect combination.

97
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: Next game up, Next team up, next challenge. Who's Texas Tech?

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,240
A ranked fo Texas Tech? They took down the men's team.

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Give us a little preview. What's the scattered room report

100
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,000
says for the Red Raiders? And how are you guys

101
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:08,759
gonna do what the the the guys couldn't accomplish?

102
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Texas Tech is a great team. They

103
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,040
just recently lost their first game of the entire season,

104
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,319
so they've been undefeated for quite some time. They're just

105
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,600
a super fast paced team, similar that similar to us,

106
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,199
they work really hard, and they have you know, they

107
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,000
have some talented players. And so really, for us, we

108
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,439
just gotta walk in on our scouting report, and you

109
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:36,759
know what our coaches are, you know, instilling in us

110
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,399
and what they've kind of scouted and reported on and

111
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:43,639
and you know, just knowing personnel and knowing who the

112
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,160
shooters are. You know, they stretch the floor the floor

113
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:48,680
well and have a lot of great shooters and just

114
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,240
you know, locking down on that and if we can

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,040
do that, we'll we'll be successful.

116
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the the matchups, right, how do you feel about

117
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,519
the matchups on the scouting report you mentioned kind of

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,120
the scheme of what you're going to be employing.

119
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: What what is it? Uh?

120
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: What matchups do you feel confident that b YU has

121
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,959
maybe a competitive advantage with.

122
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:14,519
Speaker 4: Honestly, I I love our entire team from top to bottom,

123
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:18,240
and so you know, I feel like at every position

124
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:21,439
we have some really good strengths, especially when you know,

125
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:23,279
we push the ball in transition and we get out

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,560
wide and we have spacing, and so I'm really excited.

127
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,720
The thing about Texas Tech is they're they're a great

128
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:33,879
offensive team. They're a great defensive team, and so are we.

129
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,240
So really just you know, being confident in all positions

130
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,480
that we have and knowing that, yeah, they're a great team,

131
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,399
but we have we have special players and they have

132
00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:48,600
to also guard us.

133
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,959
Speaker 2: What's been the biggest surprise to you from the roster

134
00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:55,600
this season? You know, someone that's maybe wasn't expected to

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,360
come in and contribute right away, or uh, you know

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,480
that's maybe shocked.

137
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 3: Even the oster were shocked.

138
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: Maybe the fans that have been able to come in

139
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:09,319
and watch this Lady Koog's team.

140
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: Well, that's a great question. Honestly, I feel like all

141
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:13,759
of our freshmen so far, they've they've all done a

142
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,399
great job of just coming in and you know, playing

143
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:23,800
their role and just competing hard. That goes from I mean,

144
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,399
Sid was Sid was so good when we when I

145
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,319
was going dealing with injuries, and so it was super

146
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,040
cool to be able to see her just kind of

147
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,160
bloom and take on a bigger role and be able

148
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,439
to you know, lead our team and being point guard

149
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:43,000
is never easy, especially as an incoming freshman, and so

150
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,839
I really just give props to her. She's done so

151
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,000
well this year and it's just super fun to be

152
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,199
able to see her continue to grow and get better

153
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,759

were scrappy and tough, and so I think Coobe Nation

170
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:40,720
is so awesome. And you know, the more people that

171
00:08:40,759 --> 00:08:43,720
we can get to come and support our games, the

172
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,919
more energy there's going to be in the Marriott Center,

173
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,600
and it's it's going to really help us be successful

174
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:50,200
and just be able to play our best.

175
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

176
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,639
Speaker 2: I think I want to say over the last few games,

177
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:57,480
fans have showed up. I think we've had maybe over

178
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,399
about a little over three thousand at the last home

179
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,639
games and uh, I don't know what the record is, uh,

180
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,240
you know for the season or all time for the

181
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,399
Lady Coogs uh and in attendance, but we got a

182
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:12,320
big opportunity.

183
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: Even with the West Virginia game.

184
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 2: I think they're offering free admission to the women's game

185
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,559
to anyone attending the men's game. Trying to set that

186
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:23,440
attendance record, so we need some some carry over there

187
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,840
as well. Uh, you know, b YU fans that don't

188
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,000
get an opportunity to watch your team. You mentioned a

189
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:31,080
few of the things that stand out. I mean, you're

190
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,480
you're a highlight too to come and watch.

191
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:34,639
Speaker 3: What How would you.

192
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: Describe your play those that have been able to watch

193
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,000
your The way that you kind of wend your way,

194
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:41,840
how you handle the rock, how you get to the

195
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:42,639
rack and score.

196
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've I've always been a been a

197
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,919
shooter and been a score my whole life. I think

198
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,799
that I play really well in transition and just kind

199
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,679
of I'm crafty and find different ways to be able

200
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,200
to score, but also find ways to be able to

201
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,840
set my teammates up for success. And you know, we

202
00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:07,159
have such great shooters around and so it's it's really

203
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,879
fun to be able to, you know, just play freely

204
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,200
and just play creative and you know, treat basketball as

205
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:16,960
as a game where you know, we just we have fun.

206
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,039
And so I love I love to play, and I

207
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,120
just I have a lot of fun out there you're.

208
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: Number eleven on the court? Why why do you rep

209
00:10:24,519 --> 00:10:26,840
the one? One? Has that always been the number of

210
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:28,320
the family number? What is it?

211
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,399
Speaker 5: Yeah? It was.

212
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: It was my mom's number when she played, and a

213
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:39,399
couple other family members. So I just I the first

214
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,279
team I ever played on, I was number eleven and

215
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,559
it's just stuck since then.

216
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,639
Speaker 2: So it's always going to be eleven then, no matter

217
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,840
what you do, where you go.

218
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: Uh. And it's a.

219
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: I'd love the significance of obviously numbers. Uh, So you've

220
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,720
been repping it for a long time? How it was

221
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,919
it was the mom? Was your mom the first to

222
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,320
rep that? Or where did she get it from?

223
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't really know where she got it from.

224
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,879
She might have been the first.

225
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,159
Speaker 2: The the og as they say, so shout out to

226
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,840
mom for setting the tone, set the presidents here on

227
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:16,720
the number game.

228
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: Outside of who the lady? What do you like to do?

229

Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I love being outdoors. Utah is beautiful.

235
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,000
I'm more of a warm weather person, so I don't

236
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:44,519
necessarily love the winter when it gets cold and it's snowy.

237
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:48,919
But in the summertime, I'm always you know, at a pool,

238
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,159
at a lake, at a beach. I love to be

239
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,159

00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,879
in the winter months.

245
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: Obviously you're hooping a ton in the winter months, so uh,

246
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,320
you know, obviously you're very busy during that front.

247
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: But when you do have time off, where do you go?

248
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, my life's busy in the winter. But

249
00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:21,440

with our team. We went and saw the New Avatar movie.

265
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:09,759
It was pretty good. I liked it. But yeah, besides that,

266

00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: I know. I say I'm a movie person, but maybe

281
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:06,120

282
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,159
of people love the Marvel movies, which I actually haven't

283
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:12,679
really seen a ton of Marvel Marvel movies, but I

284
00:14:12,799 --> 00:14:15,559
like the Spider Man movies, even like the New cartoon

285
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:16,720

00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,279
and you're getting into like opinions. Here, what's like the

289
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,879
your your like most controversial take amongst like you know,

290
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,720
we get around, for instance, we get around the boys. Right,

291
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,639
we're talking takes. Ronald's got his hot takes, Brett's got

292
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,720
his takes, Vix got his. I got what's like something

293
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,720
that you're like, you're always willing to die on the

294
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:45,919
hill for a particular opinion at about a particular stuff.

295
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:50,440
It could be who maybe it's it's Lebron MJ. You know,

296
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,919
it could be an all time great type of conversation,

297
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,120
like what's the what's the the the debate where you

298
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,039
die on that hill?

299
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 4: Oh, this is a hard question. Well, first off, MJ

300
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,480
is the goat.

301
00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:08,799
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm talking That's what I'm talking about.

302
00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:08,919

Speaker 4: De lady, Oh yeah, that's probably the one that you know,

306
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,879
I'll put up a good fight.

307
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,519
Speaker 3: Do A lot of your teammates are they team.

308
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:32,759
Speaker 4: Lebron Honestly, that's a question I might take to practice tomorrow.

309
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:41,440
Lebron As. Yeah, I'll do some research for you guys.

310
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to get some objective data points at

311
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,519
an official poll.

312
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,639
Speaker 3: See who wins that, because, like.

313
00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: I want to believe, and especially with Lee as the

314
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:55,080
head coach, like I there's no doubt. I'm almost one

315
00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:58,519
hundred percent sure Lee Kamard is Team MJ. But I

316
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,159
need an official count on this.

317
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: To Laney, I got you, I'll get one. That's an

318
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,799
interesting question to go ask everyone.

319
00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:11,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like, let's uh, like we get the social

320
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,840
media team at ball because I want to see this

321
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:16,440
poast it. I need official statement for the team collectively,

322
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,759
see who wins the Paul all right, Rodnie, what good?

323
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:20,159
Speaker 3: What do you got for me? Yeah?

324
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:21,559
Speaker 6: I want to ask Delaney this.

325
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: Look.

326
00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 7: I can't confirm or not, but I heard from sources,

327
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,840
Delaney that a certain basketball coach of yours was getting

328
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:32,960
late night buckets on the Marriotte Center court. Just describe

329
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:36,519
just the competitive nature of seeing your coach on the

330
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:40,200
basketball court, not on the basketball court. I don't think

331
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,519
people really know how competitively Comarde is as a coach,

332
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:43,120
which I think.

333
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 3: Is a good thing.

334
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 4: Oh it's a great thing. You guys would not even

335
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,799
believe me. But every single road trip we go on,

336
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,360
so I remember, I remember at least three trips last

337
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,519
year where we walked past a men's player on the

338
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,559
opposite on like our opposing team, and Lee is talking

339
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,519
crap to them and like just going back and forth

340
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:12,680
with these random players from their men's program, and I

341
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:16,039
just was in awe. I was like, he is some

342
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:19,279
random no one knows who he is. Like we're at

343
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:23,880
TCU and he is talking to some TCU kid and

344
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,720
it was just hilarious to see, Like he doesn't care,

345
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,240
he doesn't care who they are, he doesn't care about anything.

346
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:32,960
But you know, he thinks that he is the best,

347
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,720
and I mean, from what I've heard, he just might be.

348
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,440
But he he is so competitive. It's so fun. He

349
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:44,240
really brings that energy to every practice, in every game,

350
00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:46,440
and you know, it hypes us up, and it's it's

351
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,279
fun to be around.

352
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:49,759
Speaker 3: He's a competitive guy.

353
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:53,279
Speaker 2: I've been around him since, you know, I mean twenty

354
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,119
years ago when we were kind of contemporaries down there,

355
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,799
when I was down in Prova watching league at Buckets.

356
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:01,960
So it's great to have him as an influence on

357
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,319
the on the roster, no doubt. Okay, final question for you,

358
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,200
delayed before we let you go, excited to watch you

359
00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:09,640
ball out tomorrow and we got to set a record

360
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,759
versus the West Virginia Mountaineers at home, So everybody show up,

361
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:18,079
show out and support Delaney, Gibb and the crew. We're

362
00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:21,559
in the transfer portal era Delaney, and there was like

363
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,240
this fear that gripped all of us when you know

364
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:28,799
there was a transition. You know, Lee's taken over, Like, wait,

365
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,400
is Delaney gonna enter the portal? She gonna leave us?

366
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,200
Like how you know, what was that process like for

367
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,960
you to to evaluate and then ultimately signed that you

368
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,160
were coming back. And how how tempting was it to

369
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,160
jump in the portal and maybe, uh, you know, take

370
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,119
on all the offers that could have come. You know,

371
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920
you you would have fetched a pretty price in the

372
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,960
free market.

373
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I mean it was definitely a stressful

374
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,839
time where I'm just you know, trying to think of

375
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,240
what's gonna be, you know, the best for my future

376
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:05,920
and for my rest of my career. And the worst

377
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,920
part was just kind of the uncertainty that we had

378
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,960
for a long time. You know, coach Lee wasn't just

379
00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:15,480
hired right off the get go, and so just like

380
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:17,880
not really knowing what was going to come out of it.

381
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,400
But when when Lee got the job, I knew that

382
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,000
this is where I wanted to be. I love coognation,

383
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,440
and I've known Lee for a long time, and I

384
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,880
know that he believes in me, and he he sees

385
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,599
the type of player that I want to become, and

386
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,720
he sees all of my potential and so you know,

387
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:38,160
I'm confident in him and he's confident in me, and

388
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,839
I knew that this is somewhere special and somewhere that

389
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,480
I can you know, really grow as a player and

390
00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:44,119
as a person.

391
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: Love that.

392
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: Well, we're glad you're you're a Coug, a Koug for life,

393
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,359
and that you didn't enter the portal, even though it's

394
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,000
very tempting these days because uh uh, you know, there's

395
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,400
a lot of money being thrown around.

396
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: So it's a to me.

397
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: You know, this speaks to maybe your long term vision

398
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,839
of who you want to be not only is a player,

399
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:06,680
but off the court as well, rather than having a

400
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,599
short term vision. So I give you kudos for that.

401
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,920
De lady, give ladies and gentlemen. Delaney, thanks for letting

402

479
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,039
want to get in some college football talk. Many people

480
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:06,559
are wondering, how in the heck did Indiana win a

481
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:10,920
national championship? How did they go undefeated? That, my friends,

482
00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:15,000
is h I mean, it's an in depth study. Everyone's

483
00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:18,279
asking it. Everyone's wondering how kirtsing that he did what

484
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,640
he did. Some people are chalking it up to nil

485
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,920
and transperportal. Oh, he went out and bought a roster.

486
00:24:23,279 --> 00:24:25,960
He went out and just got guys. He got dudes,

487
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,759
He got four stars, five stars. That's not the complete story.

488
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:33,240
He In fact, the team composite recruiting ranking, the talent

489
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,839
rating was seventy second per two four seven sports. That

490
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,079
is not an overly talented team, only four or seven

491
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,200
four stars. Everybody else was essentially three stars. Now you

492
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,079
can say, hey, this is an older, wiser team. Their

493
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,680
average age, you know, sitting around twenty two to twenty

494
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,319
three years of age. Key players having seen the field

495
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,559
through maybe COVID and on into a red shirt year

496
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:02,480
and the it was additional four years, right if they

497
00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:04,599
got those years bags that they've been playing for six years.

498
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,559
Speaker 3: There's a few key players, no doubt about it.

522
00:26:17,599 --> 00:26:19,880
many times, Hey you, how have you revamped, how have

523
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,200
you retooled? How have you done X, Y and Z?

524
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:26,240
How have you been able to win so many football games.

525
00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:27,480
This was his response.

526
00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: Okay, how he rebuilt Indiana.

527
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 5: We signed twenty two transfers. They were all two to

528
00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:40,960
three year starters. I knew we had flipped the roster

529
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,880
right there. There was no doubt in my mind we'd

530
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,279
flipped the roster. We only had three or four P

531
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,680
four guys the restler G five guys had been.

532
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 3: Three year starters.

533
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 5: But see production over potential. There's something about that. The

534
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,880
guy that can stay on the practice field, the guy

535
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,759
that can stay on the game field, the guy that

536
00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:01,960
can handle success, the guy that can handle failure, has

537
00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:05,440
consistency and performance. He's a good teammate, he buys in

538
00:27:05,559 --> 00:27:09,839
a team vision, and he can stay healthy. Like when

539
00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:12,319
you google that guy on ESPN and see his stats,

540
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:13,960
that's what shows up. When you see a guy that's

541
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,920
caught thirty five the forty balls three years.

542
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 3: In a row.

543
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 5: Right, that's what those numbers mean. Are this stuff I

544
00:27:20,279 --> 00:27:22,039
learned from coach Saban. You've heard a lot of this

545
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:25,920
stuff before. High standards and expectations and everything we do.

546
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,680
Accountability throughout the entire organization. It's all about people. The

547
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,160
people you hire and the people you recruit. You got

548
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,279
to hire and recruit the right kind of people that

549
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,640
have a foundation of habits, that understand right from wrong,

550
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,480
that have passion, that love football, that want to be great.

551
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,240
They want to be great, they want to learn and

552
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,640
get better every single day. You got to have those

553
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,599
kind of people in your organization, and then you've got

554
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,559
to create the environment where they can thrive.

555
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: Wise words coming from a wise coach. A tenured coach

556
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:07,440
sixty four years of age, became a head coach at

557
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,519
the P four level just two years ago, took his.

558
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,279
Speaker 3: Team to a colleg football playoff.

559
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:16,799
Speaker 2: The first year ousted, got beat up by the fighting Irish.

560
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:22,079
The second go round rebuilt, retooled, revamped, remodeled the offense, okay,

561
00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:27,839
the defense with the roster being flipped, found a way

562
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,839
to improve and and win at a high level, and

563
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,480
then did what many thought would be impossible to win

564
00:28:34,519 --> 00:28:36,880
a national championship go undefeated.

565
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,119
Speaker 3: They are sixteen and oh, Ladies and gentlemen.

566
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,559
Speaker 2: Okay, here's his postgame commentary regarding going sixteen and oh.

567
00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:49,319
There at the University of Indiana. Kirk Signetti, head coach,

568
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:50,440
Indiana Hoosiers.

569
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 5: Okay, hard fut game. Give law credit to Miami. It

570
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
was a real gut check. We found a way. It's

571
00:28:57,119 --> 00:29:01,000
credit to our guy's resiliency to find a way to

572
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,240
get that done. It's a great thing. Indiana win the

573
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:09,599
national championship two years into our tenure. You do it

574
00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:13,079
with people and a plan. Can't say enough about our

575
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,599
senior leadership and the people we have in the locker room,

576
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,319
and the people we have on our staff, and our

577
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,400
strength and conditioning staff, support staff, and the commitment we

578
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,119
received from President Wit and Scott Dowson. I would like

579
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,559
to say our nil is nowhere near what people think

580
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:34,559
it is, so you can throw that out. And this

581
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,079
team really overcame a lot on the road, in a

582
00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:42,160
lot of tight games and found a way to get

583
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,279
it done. And we're sixteen and o and we're I

584
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:48,680
guess we're twenty seven and two since Indiana, but we're

585
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:55,519
sixteen and o sixty national champions at Indiana University, which

586
00:29:55,599 --> 00:29:57,640
I know a lot of people thought was never possible.

587
00:29:58,319 --> 00:30:01,839
It probably is won the greatest sports stories of all time.

588
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:04,960
But it's all because of these guys and the staff.

589
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,599
So produm and it's a great night.

590
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: Wise words, once again from a wise coach. It is true.

591
00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:16,960
He makes the declaration. This may be the best story

592
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,359
all time in sports history.

593
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,119
Speaker 3: He sent a message.

594
00:30:21,359 --> 00:30:25,319
Speaker 2: Indiana sent a message, but Kirk Signetti specifically sent a message.

595
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,240
He stated, I think we sent a message, first of all,

596
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:30,880
to society that if you keep your nose to the

597
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,079
grindstone and work hard and you got the right people,

598
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:40,480
anything as possible, Anything as possible. He was also asked

599
00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:45,279
about the roster in the post game. He said, are

600
00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:48,799
there eight draft picks on this team? Question Mark?

601
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 3: Probably not.

602
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: But the whole was better than the sum of its parts,

603
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,759
something no coach in my professional career could say. While

604
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:03,200
sitting at the podium Victoria's after winning the national title. Right,

605
00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:11,720
pretty crazy, guys. Indiana changed college football these past two seasons.

606
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,759
Changed the narrative that has been pervasive in college football

607
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,359
that only buying players and the best players can win

608
00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:27,599
your national championships. What the SEC has done for the

609
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,279
last twenty years, having the donors the bag men go

610
00:31:31,319 --> 00:31:33,799
through the back door rather than the front door, not

611
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,680
happening anymore. Okay, now everyone's on equal playing field and

612
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:42,480
Kirk Signetti has finally been given the opportunity to become

613
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,119
a head coach. How many other coaches are out there

614
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,519
position coaches that are waiting for their opportunity that have

615
00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:50,039
to wait.

616
00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you think of it.

617
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty three is when Kirk Signetti started coaching, and

618
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,400
he only became a head coach in two thousand eleven.

619
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,319
Speaker 3: He was at a D two. By the way, many.

620
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 2: Coaches that decide to take head coaching jobs at D two's,

621
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,720
they don't make it back into the limelight, they don't

622
00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:13,200
make it back to a D one double A. And

623
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,400
you look at his trajectory, his path, He's at a

624
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:22,039
D two U iup and then finally got his opportunity

625
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:25,240
to get to James Madison all in like the same

626
00:32:25,319 --> 00:32:30,279
similar geographical area. So he made inroads geographically, culturally, speaking

627
00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:35,000
with maybe high school coaches maybe, and along the way

628
00:32:35,039 --> 00:32:38,599
probably finding the right people to surround himself with schematically

629
00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:40,519
and culturally, and then.

630
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,559
Speaker 3: Finally got his job, his head coaching job at the.

631
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:51,359
Speaker 2: Worst institution in college football history, Indiana. That was his

632
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,119
P four job and his opportunity, and in two years

633
00:32:56,359 --> 00:32:59,400
won the Natty. This is work that has gone on

634
00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:01,079
for fifty years.

635
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 3: Guys.

636
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he was a football player, number one, He

637
00:33:06,039 --> 00:33:09,079
was a he was a he was a quarterback at

638
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:13,079
West Virginia, right this institution knowledge of the game, but

639
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,680
then becoming a recruiting coordinator has really aided him and

640
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,319
supported him.

641
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:18,519
Speaker 3: He talked a little bit about that in that first cut.

642
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: So this story, man, I hope it brings hope to

643
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:33,400
everyone that is putting in work that feels under you know,

644
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,160
maybe they haven't got their opportunity yet, right, and they

645
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,519
just got to keep on showing up, keep putting their

646
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,559
nose to the grindstone, keep on putting their head down,

647
00:33:41,599 --> 00:33:44,359
their nose down, and going to work every single day,

648
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:51,880
mastering their craft, becoming bigger, faster, stronger, more efficient, becoming smarter, okay,

649
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:57,240
becoming the best version of themselves within their profession. Kirk

650
00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:01,880
Signetti and the Andana Hoosiers Man best story maybe all

651
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:08,719
time in sports history. And I loved every single minute

652
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,400
of it. Okay, love the story of Fernando Mendoza as well.

653
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,760
Kirk signetti story is the best. Fernanda Mendoza's is right

654
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,239
there next to it. He got declined to walk on

655
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,440
at the University of Miami. It's a full circle moment

656
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:29,239
for him, taking down the Hurricanes, finding his way to

657
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,400
Indiana of all places.

658
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 6: I love this story, Ben right, and you have to.

659
00:34:34,519 --> 00:34:35,480
That's why I picked the banditt.

660
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,559
Speaker 7: It'd be funny, Fernando, you know, all jokes aside. Look,

661
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:41,519
I mean it's gonna go down as one of the

662
00:34:41,559 --> 00:34:45,239
greatest stories in college football. It will the undefeated season

663
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,000
Kurtzinetti in the second year, and I just want to

664
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,199
remind people he inherited a three and nine booboo program.

665
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,559
Three and nine, it was booboo. It was I can

666
00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:55,000
say that booboo not good. It's not like he was

667
00:34:55,039 --> 00:34:57,000
there been had three and I No, he took a

668
00:34:57,039 --> 00:35:00,440
three and nine program to its highest ranking of a time,

669
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,719
which we thought at the time, and then comes back

670
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,039
this year and there was an ESPN graphic, never been

671
00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:09,480
ranked number one, never had a bunch of other things.

672
00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 6: He checked all those boxes. Championship, he got it all.

673
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 7: And I mean, look, he's already cemented himself and people

674
00:35:16,039 --> 00:35:18,280
that that's a hot take. No, it's the truth. College

675
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,280
football is so hard. This is not the NFL where

676
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,039
everyone's the lead and you do it. No, he is

677
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:24,239
already one of the greatest college coaches of all time

678
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,639
period period. With this one season alone. He could never

679
00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:30,760
win another National Championship and he's already in the College

680
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,880
Football Hall of Fame. Ben That is it because this

681
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,760
doesn't happen. This doesn't happen in our day. You don't

682
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,000
beat out stars, you don't do that, You don't get

683
00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:39,920
everybody to buy in.

684
00:35:40,159 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 6: You know what it reminds me of. It gives vibes

685
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,880
of BYU in a way it gives viz the Kaloni Shataki.

686
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 7: It feels like that BYU is on a trajectory of itself,

687
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:51,920
still obviously missing a few pieces, but that same thing,

688
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,760
the culture buy in a guy that's probably not gonna

689
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,239
have eight NFL draft picks, but it's a culture that

690
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,079
has been built different. Now Klonne likes to smile a

691
00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:04,079
little bit, more likes food, so he's not going to

692
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:06,599
do that in Kurcinetti and be that way. But look,

693
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,920
I like, you know how he's built this And he said,

694
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,199
is you know it is? It's the greatest sports story

695
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,119
of all time. I really believe it has been. I

696
00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:17,039
believe it's up there because this is Fernando Mendozi. You

697
00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:18,679
just don't see that, Like he is not going to

698
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,760
get drafted in an NFL been because of that he

699
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,960
might go number one overall. But I love this. I

700
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,559
love that he went to Indiana. I love that Kurtzinetti

701
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:28,400
did it with this team the way he did it

702
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,440
in two years, and I'm a fan. I'm a fan

703
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,239
now of him in his program in college football. Until

704
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,639
they played BUYU, I would definitely be rooting on Indiana.

705
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: Love that shout out to the Hoosiers and hopefully that

706
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,360
brings a lot of hope to those that feel like

707
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,400
the sport is ruined. The fact that the losing is

708
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,599
program in college football history, especially at the highest levels

709
00:36:50,599 --> 00:36:53,760
of college football. The power structure of college football became

710
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,360
the national champion in two years in this new era,

711
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:02,280
this new college football landscape, is proof that the product

712
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,719
the landscape is not broken, at least not yet. In fact,

713
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,679
the inverse of that has occurred. I think it was

714
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,000
broken before. I think it was corrupted before. I think

715
00:37:11,039 --> 00:37:18,480
it was two too heavily favored towards a specific conference

716
00:37:18,519 --> 00:37:21,639
that was finding a way to circumvent the rules. Not anymore,

717
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,760
Ladies and gentlemen, By the way, in this college football segment,

718
00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:28,159

00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,239

734
00:38:11,679 --> 00:38:14,880

00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,639

736
00:38:19,079 --> 00:38:20,559
Can we ask the SID on that one?

737
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 6: It might be improper? That might not be ethical to

738
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,440
come down now if our kids did.

739
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, but i.

740
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 2: Mean, come on, let's not make this a moral ethical thing.

741
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,599
I'm just saying, like, hey, immun to be coached up.

742
00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:33,159
Speaker 7: I'm mean you were media members like we're coming. I

743
00:38:33,199 --> 00:38:34,599
just don't want to get involved. I don't have any

744
00:38:34,639 --> 00:38:37,280
desire to get coached up. That's what I'm saying with that. Look,

745
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,599
I don't need you don't want to be coached up. No,

746
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:43,039
I'm okay. I'll do a Kevin Young one. Look sorry,

747
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:44,599
I mean I'm bringing out the true thing. I'll do

748
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:47,000
a basketball one. I'll do a football one like No,

749
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:49,400
like I did, I had the hoop. I will go

750
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,320
and watch you get coached up. I'll come and, you know,

751
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,199
be there and be like, hey, you know, I'm family

752
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,039
and I'm watching a big get coached up.

753
00:38:55,079 --> 00:38:57,559
Speaker 6: I'll do that. But I don't know about participating.

754
00:38:57,599 --> 00:39:00,039
Speaker 3: But I mean, it doesn't say you have to be

755
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:00,559
a coach.

756
00:39:00,639 --> 00:39:03,079
Speaker 7: It just coaches. It does say you know, it does

757
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:05,719
say coaches. I just I think the biggest thing is, uh,

758
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,800
I don't. I just don't want to get embarrassed with

759
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,800
those around me. Basketball is a little bit different. I'm

760
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,079
a little bit more confident there.

So Keelan Marion bald out former BYU wide receiver bald

808
00:41:41,199 --> 00:41:47,599
out for Miami. They got their money's worth. Okay, BYU

809
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,960
was paying them decently. Miami was paid paid him absurdainly.

810
00:41:52,599 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

811
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 2: The six foot one hundred and ninety five pound wide

812
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,760
receiver out of the atl via U com via BYU

813
00:42:02,159 --> 00:42:06,440
to the Hurricanes this season. He had fifty seven reception

814
00:42:06,639 --> 00:42:10,079
seven hundred and forty six yards two touchdowns. That's thirteen

815
00:42:10,119 --> 00:42:15,239
point one yards per reception. Pretty gosh dang good season.

816
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,599
He also was a returner. I think he had twelve

817
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:21,400
attempts two hundred ninety three yards. His long was thirty eight,

818
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:27,679
so he was also a kick returner. Keelan had some opportunities.

819
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 3: Okay.

820
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:34,159
Speaker 2: Pete Damil was in the locker room postgame. Miami's Keelan

821
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,880
Marrion was not happy.

822
00:42:37,159 --> 00:42:37,559
Speaker 3: Okay.

823
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 2: Pete Amil states two takeaways from the Miami locker room.

824
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,519
Miami wide receiver Kielan Marrion had tears in his eyes

825
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,239
and a towel over his head, saying aloud, I didn't

826
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,840
even know he had threw the ball. He admitted he

827
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,719
was talking about that that fade route.

828
00:42:58,920 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 3: Okay.

829
00:42:59,519 --> 00:43:03,039
Speaker 2: He admitted it was his mistake and said I got

830
00:43:03,079 --> 00:43:08,440
to look for the ball and make that play for him.

831
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,760
Speaker 3: So that's all on me.

832
00:43:12,159 --> 00:43:16,079
Speaker 2: He's referring, I believe to that final play that was

833
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:19,119
a little bit underthrown. There was also another opportunity where

834
00:43:19,119 --> 00:43:20,599
he had the ball in his hands, kind of had

835
00:43:20,599 --> 00:43:22,800
to kind of overhand it a little bit.

836
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:25,599
Speaker 3: And he ended up dropping it.

837
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,079
Speaker 2: Pete Dam also stated Miami defensive cordinator Corey Hethrom had

838
00:43:30,079 --> 00:43:32,360
said he wished he'd call. He had called a time

839
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,840
out before the Fernanda Mendoza run on fourth and five.

840
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,440
We knew what the play was. It wasn't a secret,

841
00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:43,199
said the defensive coordinator. It was two by two four open.

842
00:43:43,639 --> 00:43:46,159
They were going to get a QB draw in there.

843
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:46,639
Speaker 3: He said.

844
00:43:46,679 --> 00:43:49,159
Speaker 2: The call didn't get communicated fast enough. He added that

845
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,119
had been Indiana's go to on fourth and medium all

846
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,800
year from that for nation. So you don't get you

847
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,880
don't get Mulligan's Unfortunately, as when you're when you're one

848
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,760
of the coaches or players in these games.

849
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 3: A fiel for Kielan Marion.

850
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 2: I was rooting kilan On, wanted him to have a

851
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,639
fantastic game, A great young man. So the first time

852
00:44:14,679 --> 00:44:19,239
I got to interview Keelan, the jubil happy human that

853
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,559
he was, man, he was bought into b YU, bought

854
00:44:22,599 --> 00:44:25,400
into Provo, and I thought we'd be able to retain him.

855
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 3: Fortunately, it is what it is.

856
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:32,119
Speaker 2: Sometimes the portal comes calling, and maybe we were able

857
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:34,719
to match what others were willing to match.

858
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:40,199
Speaker 3: But still Field. Once a Cougar, always a Cougar.

859
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 2: Kieland Marion great football player, great person, and what a

860
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:49,480
great career he had in its entirety over his season's career.

861
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,519
He had two seasons at Yukon. Remember he had a

862
00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:55,719
red shirt. He had an injury his sophomore year, so

863
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,559
he came to b YU. I think is a red

864
00:44:57,599 --> 00:45:04,559
shirt sophomore. One hundred and thirty three receptions one and

865
00:45:04,559 --> 00:45:08,280
seventy one yards fourteen point one yards perception, nine touchdowns,

866
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,880
also running the ball thirty four rushes one hundred and

867
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,920
sixty one yards four point seven yards per carry, five touchdowns.

868
00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 3: And then in the return game, I think.

869
00:45:18,679 --> 00:45:23,199
Speaker 2: Total returns fifty attempts and sevy four yards two touchdowns.

870
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,719
Of those two touchdowns came at BYU and one of

871
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:32,599
them came in the robbery game at Rice Eccles Stadium.

872
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,719
So no matter what you feel, what you say, what

873
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,840
you do, no matter what Keeling did. Okay, he going

874
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,840
to Miami, you gotta give him a tremendous amount of

875
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,159
because he was a key pivotal piece in a rivaly

876
00:45:46,199 --> 00:45:51,280
game up in Salt Lake City, immortalized himself, was part

877
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:56,840
of the catalyst that forced Mark Harland to to to

878
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,719
just stomp his feet on that football field on that

879
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,000
turn and go to the pulpit in the postgame and

880
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:07,119
declare they stole it from us, They stolen my precious Ah.

881
00:46:07,679 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 3: Keeling was a part of that. Man so.

882
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,679
Speaker 2: Much loved to Keelan. Keep your head up. What a

883
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,719
great career. Now take it to the NFL and go

884
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,280
make some more memories. Ronald, I know you're a big

885
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,880
fan of killing Marion. You hear that from Keelan. He's crying,

886
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,440
He's got a towel over his head. He's got to

887
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,679
be able to hold his head high. Had a great

888
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,760
career in a great season at Miami, just fell short

889
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,679
in this uh in those in those final moments he.

890
00:46:34,679 --> 00:46:36,679
Speaker 7: Did and look, I'm I've always been a big fan

891
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,880
of baby Keeling. Look to give you guys a little insight,

892
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,079
I remember when we were showed to practice, Ronnie Crittle

893
00:46:42,159 --> 00:46:45,599
like he would always wave, you know, mid play, I'm.

894
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 6: Attention, like block, We're not that important. Don't do that.

895
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 3: He would.

896
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,079
Speaker 6: He was so like enthusiastic.

897
00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 7: And that's why, you know, I guess to go a

898
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,039
little outside the lines of I guess the world of

899
00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:58,400
journalism and coverage was. It did hurt a little bit

900
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,639
to see him go, you know, because look, this job

901
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,840
is just not it's not transactional for me at all.

902
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,960
And to see someone you know, who you develop a

903
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,679
relationship with, to watch him leave, that was that was tough.

904
00:47:07,679 --> 00:47:10,039
But when he went to Miami, and obviously I watched

905
00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:12,360
those games, it kept track. He had his biggest moment

906
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,559
of his career in the semi final game.

907
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 6: I was nothing but happy for him. It's nothing belove.

908
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 7: I texted him one hundred percent, you know, posted on

909
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:20,719
my social media.

910
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 6: You know, I even look, I even ordered some laceship

911
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:23,519
boots merch.

912
00:47:23,639 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 7: I'll just say it because I mean, it's it's bigger

913
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,519
than you know, football. So when I hear that, I

914
00:47:28,559 --> 00:47:30,719
hear a young man that's very passionate about the game

915
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,880
of football, who's the team guy, and it's it's sad

916
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,519
that he wasn't able to achieve his ultimate goal win

917
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:40,199
a national championship. I know he worked so hard to

918
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,599
be there. He's taking accountability. I appreciate that. You know

919
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,000
it wasn't all of his fault the throw. Also, it's

920
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:47,320
just tough to throw from the right hash to the

921
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:50,519
left hash and that type of coverage. What you've broken down,

922
00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:53,800
Ben So to the point is Keithen Marrion's a phenomenal individual.

923
00:47:54,119 --> 00:47:57,320
Hopefully he can continue to further his football career. Missed

924
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,519
him at By this year. I definitely think he's somebody

925
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:01,920
that and take the top off the defense and was

926
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,159
respected that he saw it in these playoffs of year

927
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,239
watching By, you definitely miss number zero, no doubt about it.

928
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,079
But Miami picked up a great receiver and Keelyn had

929
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:12,000
his moment. So happy for him. Sad that he lost

930
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,119
in the National Championship. That's a part of the game.

931
00:48:14,159 --> 00:48:17,559
But Keelan, whether you're listening to this or not, if

932
00:48:17,559 --> 00:48:19,639
someone sends it to him, brother, you not need to

933
00:48:19,639 --> 00:48:23,119
hold your head down at all. You've you've played, You've

934
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:25,599
had some of the phenomenal games in college football. You're

935
00:48:25,639 --> 00:48:27,760
a great leader, You're a great you're even better person

936
00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:31,199
off the field. So love love watching Keilan Marion from

937
00:48:31,199 --> 00:48:32,960
a far end, the privilege to be at a cover

938
00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:34,039
when he was at BYU.

939
00:48:34,679 --> 00:48:37,239

Speaker 2: Let's talk some BYU football with Robbie Bosco. How far

956
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,400
away is BYU from winning a national championship. We'll discuss

957
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,920
it with former BYU quarterback and national champion Robbie Bosco.

958
00:49:29,039 --> 00:49:31,079
Also a little missionary moment as well, as he's been

959
00:49:31,079 --> 00:49:34,360
called to serve. That's right, He's going to be serving

960
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,679
in a mission as a missionary, and I can't wait

961
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,559
to get to know where he's heading and when he

962
00:49:43,199 --> 00:49:46,480
enters the MTC, the Missionary Training Center. Let's go to break,

963
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:47,960
