37
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,079
I heard we may have a ship, we may have

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,359
a chip that is pending.

39
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:54,519
Speaker 1: We absolutely do. We had a great game this past week.

40
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: We played Mountain Viewing and they came out on top

41
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:58,640
forty two to twenty, so.

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,359
Speaker 1: We dominated performance. It was a lot of fun.

43
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: We've got a championship game this Saturday at two pm.

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,199
It's west Lake versus sky Ridge two undefeated teams about

45
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,840
to go at it, and we're excited so much fun

46
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,719
coaching these little guys and seeing them develop and grow,

47
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,520
and and we've got some superstars on this team that

48
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,199
are going to be some D one players cranking in

49
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,400
some nil one of these days.

50
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:28,479
Speaker 2: Let's go get that nil. Boys, love bet. Let's transition

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,719
over to a win on the road versus Ioway stayed

52
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:35,599
in front of sixty two thousand fans, have sold out crowd.

53
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,639
I think this was actually the first true roadtest. Some

54
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,080
people say Colorado. Colorado was not nearly as rockous, nearly

55
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,159
as wild, nearly as loud.

56
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:47,759
Speaker 1: It just wasn't. You of A had a storm delay.

57
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:50,879
Speaker 2: You of A has I A would say a transient

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,599
fan base.

59
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: It's just not.

60
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,039
Speaker 2: They're a basketball town. That's how it always has been

61
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,800
in Tucson. I have two brothers that attended U of A.

62
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:05,159
I'm from Arizona. They just don't got it. It's not

63
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:10,319
a true road environment. And there were other extenuating circumstances

64
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,800
with the rain delay.

65
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: Et cetera. So this was truly the first road game.

66
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: And the great thing about this schedule, it's been this

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,800
incremental difficulty. It's been a certain level of incremental difficulty.

68
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,879
You play your best team I think you played is

69
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:27,280
actually Utahan. You got them at home in front of

70
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,000
your sold out crowd, but you didn't get them until

71
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:33,159
you know, the middle of the season, which was great.

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,840
You had a two freshman quarterback. It's setting up nicely

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,000
right now. And obviously b YU get some bye weekend.

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,319
Then they go on the road to Texas Tech. You're

75
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,120
you're on the road versus a very good Texas Tech team,

76
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,199
maybe the best team in the Big twelve. They have

77
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,120
one loss to a issue on the road, and they

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,080
had a bit of a pride cycle situation. But going

79
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,159
back to the Iowa State game, great lessons learned. What

80
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,080
were your takeaways from this game? What stood out to

81
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,240
you the most prominent things that you learned about this.

82
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:05,159
Speaker 1: BA football team.

83
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:08,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the first half was was a challenge, right

84
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:10,240
we were we had our.

85
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: Backs against the wall.

86
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,319
Speaker 3: J Hill had a lot to absorb in that first

87
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:19,319
half and a lot to take into halftime with his

88
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,560
coaches and make some determinations on how they were going

89
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:22,600
to stop Iowa State.

90
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,319
Speaker 1: Losing l J. Martin early in the game was a

91
00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:29,360
big deal for BYU.

92
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what Aaron Roderick as an offensive coordinator,

93
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:37,319
what he's able to do is he's able to take

94
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,279
the personnel that he has on the field and game

95
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,800
plan directly around them.

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: Who would have thought LJ would be out right? Who

97
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,439
would have thought that we would not rush? But what

98
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,800
was our total for rushing?

99
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: Well, we we ran the ball not good right, right? No,

100
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,560
Comparatively we got to one hundred and three yards. By

101
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,560
the way, Bear was your leading rusher though, at forty

102
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,199
nine yards at twelve carries.

103
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,519
Speaker 1: Press and Rex had six carries for seventeen yards. LJ.

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,959
Martin was five for fifteen.

105
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 2: Even when LJ was in, It's not like he was

106
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:14,759
he was killing the dominant, No, he wasn't dominating. Two

107
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,199
carries for Porker Kingston for twelve Enich Nowaheny had three

108
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:18,720
for ten.

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

110
00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: So going in, I'm sure the game plan was built

111
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,240
around running the ball of the play action day LJ

112
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:28,319
making you know, and LJ would have found it was

113
00:05:28,319 --> 00:05:29,920
the beginning of the game. I think we were still

114
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,680
kind of feeling out what we needed to do, and

115
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,759
I think LJ probably would have still rushed for eighty

116
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,199
to one hundred yards had he been healthy the whole game.

117
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: What Aaron Roddick was able to do.

118
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: Now, as we were talking earlier, you can have the

119
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:44,560
best game plan and send the best play in and

120
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,319
if the players don't perform, it doesn't matter. But he

121
00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:52,839
has taken and put Bear in positions that he's confident

122
00:05:52,879 --> 00:05:56,560
that Bear can can it can actually you know, complete

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,800
the pass, you know, and given him opportunities to make plays.

124
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,079
And Parker Kingston another great game, what a great what

125
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,560
a play? I mean that that end zone catch. And

126
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,959
by the way, when you watch that play and you

127
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,439
listen to it, the sound of the b y U

128
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,600
fans almost had a sense of home game when he scored.

129
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:17,560
When he took that ball at the high point into

130
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,600
that end zone, the sound was like, where are we?

131
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: It sounds like we got rockies. It was kay, got

132
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,600
a little rockish too.

133
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: He may have uttered a certain particular word that got

134
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:30,879
me a little lamped, got me a little hype.

135
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,319
Speaker 1: Good good, and we need it, we need it. And

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,639
that's my fetching ball, he said, He said, fetch. Of

137
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,000
course he did, of course he did, b YU come on,

138
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,639
man's right.

139
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,199
Speaker 3: But you know, it was fun to watch, it was

140
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,199
It was great to see our our kicking game perform

141
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,040
well and and I feel like the confidence is back there.

142
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,680
One thing, just going back to Aaron Roders, So I

143
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,319
enjoyed texting Aaron after the games and and just kind

144
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:58,959
of throwing my two cents in and congratulating him on

145
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,079
the game. And one of the things that in these

146
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,240
close games where you're you're second guessing are we where

147
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,680
are we at? What are we gonna do? Are we

148
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,480
gonna make this? Are we gonna turn this thing around?

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,879
He always texts me, never a doubt, And I get that,

150
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:19,279
and I go, man, I don't. It just impresses me

151
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,920
that his confidence and his demeanor in these games is

152
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:24,920
what we are here to win, and we are going

153
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:27,079
to win, and there's not a doubt in his mind

154
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:29,879
that he's going to do it. And and it's very impressive.

155
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,439
I think he's one of the top coordinators, UH with

156
00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:40,040
with taking personnel and and making them really really turning

157
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,759
them into to who they can become, and making sure

158
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,959
that that we have the right guys in the right.

159
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: Place called in order to be have the opportunity to

160
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,199
be successful.

161
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: I've said there's two things about an A Rod coach

162
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,680
offense I'll add a third here. If you stay within

163
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,399
the architecture that that a ROD employees typically, you're gonna

164
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,600
be effective. You're gonna be efficient. If you go off

165
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,720
script a little bit too much, then then you're gonna

166
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:10,519
you're gonna be a rye. So you gotta be coachable

167
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,759
under a ROD system, and you got to comply a

168
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:16,199
little bit. And there are times where you can get

169
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,920
outside yourself. But more often than I think you saw

170
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:21,959
a little bit that like versus lower tier competition with

171
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:25,199
Zach Wilson, like he would he would do some things

172
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,839
that were not within the scheme, but he had elit

173
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:30,720
arm talent s and it was against lower level competition.

174
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:33,039
He could like he could throw a whole shot in

175
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:35,799
versus cover two to the pylon and it's good.

176
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,639
Speaker 1: It's like okay, like that's a good throw. But like

177
00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:41,200
like versus.

178
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: Better competition is not gonna have anyway. He also needs

179
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,519
a good run game coordinator to an accent his in

180
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,759
my opinion, his great passing starts to remember his his

181
00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:59,960
his foundation is wide receiver, okay, and then he transit

182
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,080
that into quarterbacks coach. That is his chef's kiss to

183
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,720
our play calling. But he needs someone to be able

184
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,159
to balance him out a little bit in the run game,

185
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,879
coordinating with technique, and he had that with Grimy to

186
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:18,919
a degree. But remember he wasn't initially the primary play card.

187
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:21,159
He was the pass game coordinator, and then he became

188
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,399
the primary play caller in two thousand and nineteen, and

189
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:30,039
then you brought in Funk, and that was more of

190
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,200
an issue of budget, and so it was not beneficial.

191
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,840
He could either go with a really young kid with

192
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:41,279
no experience in game planning, but could maybe recruit well enough,

193
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,840
and Technique well you know, I mean dependent, right, And

194
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,559
so it had been a really young offensive line coaching

195
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:51,720
room and then he went with the old guy. He

196
00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:54,240
may have missed there. But I also think that Tom

197
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,440
and Brian deserve a little bit of blame because they

198
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,639
you said, a budget limit, you know, let's say it

199
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,320
was one hundred and fifty to two hundred K, you're

200
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,639
not going to get a very good offensive line coach.

201
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,120
And I enjoyed Funk. I thought he brought some good things.

202
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,480
But he's a better analyst than he is sure offensive

203
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:17,720
line coach anyway, So I know that. And then if

204
00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:21,279
you add a run game element to the quarterback, it's

205
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,240
game over because a Rod knows how to utilize He

206
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,639
is at his best when those three components are are

207
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,960
are ultimately a part of his.

208
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,519
Speaker 3: At what I think helped change Kevin gilbrid That helped

209
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,840
there was a dynamic. Now having played with both those

210
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,120
guys and knowing the background and the relationship that those

211
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,679
two had in college together, I knew as soon as

212
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:53,440
Kevin got here that it was going to open up

213
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,120
another dimension of a Rod because they were best friends

214
00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:01,840
for that year that Kevin was here. Kevin followed. They

215
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:10,159
were just like Kevin, huge respect.

216
00:11:10,519 --> 00:11:12,399
Speaker 1: There's a ton of respect there. Yeah.

217
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 3: And and then you with with Kevin and Aaron together

218
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,039
the mutual respect for each other, but then the willingness

219
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:20,559
to listen.

220
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: And I think that that is big for them. And

221
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,039
I was.

222
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: Thinking about, you know, Norm Chow when we were coached

223
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:31,480
by Norm Chow. You know what Norm Chow was good

224
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,480
at was he could build an offense around the talent

225
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,519
and on his roster. If you had a Ronnie Jenkins,

226
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,519
he knew how to build around Ronnie. If you had

227
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,559
the quarterback, he could build around the quarterback. You know,

228
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,399
he had these slower white receivers but we could run

229
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,559
great routes and get open and timing was on point.

230
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,279
So he built an offense around that, and I think

231
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:56,000
what has the same characteristics of that, But I think

232
00:11:56,039 --> 00:12:00,200
he brings a better mindset to the game as to

233
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,279
schematics making making when when when Aaron gets in a

234
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,120
role calling, you almost can feel it and see it

235
00:12:08,159 --> 00:12:10,399
even as a fan of watching from the TV or

236
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,799
like play after play after both, like that set up,

237
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:16,759
that set up the next play, and it's really exciting

238
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,879
to see us he gets four or five six plays

239
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:22,600
into the drive, it's almost like there's no stopping him

240
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,919
at that point, you know. And when you have a

241
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:25,600
Bear Bachmeyer, he doesn't turn the ball over.

242
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: You know.

243
00:12:27,399 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: It's it's just an incredible combination of player and coach

244
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,879
and it's super excited.

245
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: To see where it goes from here. Still, well, did

246
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:34,799
you hear you?

247
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:39,039
Speaker 2: Did you hear the response from Bear after the Utah game?

248
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,039
In the post game, I asked him Hate, could you

249
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,200
elaborate on your your relationship with Aaron Roderick? And I

250
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,759
think that was his longest answer he's ever given in

251
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:52,000
a in like in a question Q and a format

252
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,840
like he he he actually rolled on, and he typically

253
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,240
doesn't do that. He typically pretty quick, us very quick,

254
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,919
and he went on for a while. That may have

255
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,559
been like a forty five second answer for me. In fact,

256
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:06,559
it was one of the longer ones. And so like,

257
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,200
there's a tremendous he came to by you, guys. So

258
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,440
even if you're like, even if you're saying like I'm

259
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,679
not sold on a Rod, and I'm gonna give a

260
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,120
bunch of credit to bear Bachmeer, bear Bachmeyers the best.

261
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,360
Bear Bachmeyer's leading this offense. Bear Bachmeyer makes this offense

262
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:27,080
go screw the architecture, screw the culture, screw everything else,

263
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,080
screw the blocking. Bear Bachmeier just makes it happen. I'm like, Okay,

264
00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:33,360
that's fine. If you want to be the hater, if

265
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,759
you want to be the undermine, you want to be

266
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,919
the substitute, you want to be that negative Nancy. And

267
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,200
I call you Nancy for a reason because you're a

268
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,159
female canine.

269
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: That's what I'm calling you.

270
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: And so you're a little female canine yapping at my heels, right,

271
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:47,720
And so.

272
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,919
Speaker 1: A Rod's the one that got him here.

273
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, A Rod's the one that was recruiting him since

274
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,080
eighth grade and Bear unfortunately.

275
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: Wanted to go to Stanford. Yeah, I get it.

276
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 2: He's a smart kid from from a very good home

277
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:07,919
that would s taught discipline, military styles. His Thai mother

278
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,159
was also whipping him with a wooden spoon, and that

279
00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:12,279
his brother was there. All those things right, like he

280
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:17,039
said it, I didn't anyway, so like, but A Rod's

281
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:19,399
the one that got him here once he entered the portal.

282
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:20,759
Speaker 1: A rod.

283
00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: So give a little bit more absolutely, you know, I

284
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:27,279
get a little bit more credible.

285
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: I wish that the standard fan understood what it takes

286
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,679
to get a caliper of a player like a Bear

287
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:38,799
Bachmer here on campus or a Rider Lions. You know

288
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:42,399
that what it takes to get these guys to actually

289
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,639
come and play at BYU with offers all over the sec.

290
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,200
It is tremendous in and of itself. Just just there's

291
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:52,639
so many years that go into that. He said he's

292
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:54,240
been recruited with the eighth grade.

293
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Bear came out to be a football camp

294
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,399
and since that day, like he was all over Bear,

295
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,519
Like it was very early that he wanted Bear and

296
00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:07,759
he offered him and loved him. But like I said,

297
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,279
his brother was at Stanford and Hank. Hank had a

298
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:15,360
pretty good connection with b Yu, you know, having played

299
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,360
by you understood. But then three d QB he ended

300
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,000
up prepping for the NFL Draft with three DQB getting

301
00:15:23,039 --> 00:15:26,440
to know John Beck, and so there was some connective tissue.

302
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,879
And then Bear trained with three DQB as well in

303
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,840
high school.

304
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: Right well, and then you know, once these players sign,

305
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:40,000
it's still a relationship must have still been going on

306
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,879
even after that. Or a Rod built such a solid

307
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:46,960
relationship with him that as soon as he opened that

308
00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:49,480
transfer window, was like, that was that's who we wanted

309
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,759
to talk to, you know, and or.

310
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Or or Aaron called him and he was willing to

311
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
take the call, you know.

312
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: And then to your point, he got on campus, him

313
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,120
and Tiger got on campus, and then it was a

314
00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:02,759
sealed deal.

315
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:04,679
Speaker 4: But you gotta get him on campus, you know, as

316
00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:07,399
well as they're hanging out with Adam Sandler. I don't know,

317
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:09,840
I mean, come on, who doesn't want to hang out

318
00:16:09,879 --> 00:16:13,720
with Adam Sandler? You know what I mean.

319
00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:19,519
Speaker 2: I don't know if Yeah was decent one of the better,

320
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,360
I guess sequels. Most of the sequels are money raps.

321
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:24,440
At least there was a lot of cameos in some

322
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,159
reflect at.

323
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,919
Speaker 3: Least if you understood happy Gilmore and you knew the

324
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:28,480
first one.

325
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was entertaining enough, no doubt about it. Any

326
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,720
other takeaways from this b y U I was stay game.

327
00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:38,399
But I do think the a rod epiphany for many

328
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,240
of the female canines that have been yapping. I think

329
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:44,639
they they're at least bought in now and they understand, Hey,

330
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,120
I need to have a little bit more respect for

331
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,000
the bespectacled strategist.

332
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: That's a film junkie.

333
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,559
Speaker 2: He's an intro extro meaning he's an introvert by nature,

334
00:16:56,159 --> 00:17:00,320
and until he really likes you and trusts you, then

335
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:02,840
you'll see the extroverted nature of him.

336
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,759
Speaker 1: But he you give him the choice.

337
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: He's an introvert that just likes to go home and

338
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:09,759
spend time with the family and watch film.

339
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: That's what he does. That's how he is. See.

340
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,079
Speaker 2: You know.

341
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,599
Speaker 3: On another take I had was with the other coordinator

342
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,519
in Jay Hill. You know that that first half we

343
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,039
got out played, we got out beat and you know,

344
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,519
and and Jay probably got out coached you for that

345
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,599
first half. But it was just you know, I thought

346
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,240
the second quarter j would come in and have some

347
00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:31,640
of the changes made, and.

348
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:34,039
Speaker 1: It took it took a half, you know to really

349
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,079
get everything down then.

350
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 3: But man, once the changes were implemented, that that we're

351
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,880
going to make a difference. It was almost night and

352
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,680
day between the first and second half. Super fun to

353
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,319
watch now, I you know, going into this bye week,

354
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,720
I think everyone says that everything couldn't be a better

355
00:17:52,759 --> 00:17:57,039
time for a buye. Well ye, injury wise, everything about

356
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,519
this bye week is great. It's a great time in

357
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:01,960
the schedule to have it, you know, with Texas Tech

358
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,519
next week and you know.

359
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: We will be there as we are making the trip.

360
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,319
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, it'd be a lot of fun making

361
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,039
it's just stop in Wacos, surf the way pool. Yeah,

362
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240
got the gotta hit all the little spots. We're gonna

363
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,440
get some good barbecue, spend a night in sweet Water.

364
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: I've never even been there, but uh, anyway, do you.

365
00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: Have to give a game ball to somebody then a coordinator?

366
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:27,200
Do you give it to a rod Do you give

367
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,720
it to j Hill for his second half efforts, or

368
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,759
do you give it to k Pop for coaching up

369
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,960
his special teams unit to finish plays and push guys

370
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,160
into punt if it was creating turtlevers on special teams

371
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:44,039
is an insane It's crazy that he saw that in

372
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:48,440
the film enough to where he was, guys, we might

373
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,079
be able to do this and then did it.

374
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

375
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: So as a it was a game ball for a play,

376
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,559
get it for the play for the game. It's Aaron,

377
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,480
you know, it's when you lose your best running back

378
00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:06,519
and really you're only running back that we've that's true,

379
00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:10,000
you know, tried and tested, and then you're able to

380
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:16,599
still create as much offense as they did and turn

381
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,039
a passing I mean, is the best passing game that

382
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:25,880
we have seen this year. And watching Bear roll and

383
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,240
get you know, stepping into the pocket and moving around

384
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,759
his pocket presence and then as he rolled out and

385
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:34,200
just throwing balls perfectly.

386
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I was super impressed by it.

387
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: Keeping it within the twenty to thirty yard right, not

388
00:19:40,759 --> 00:19:44,599
going too deep, but keeping it it's almost like not

389
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,400
almost like Ayrod knows what he has and knows where

390
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,799
he's confident and knows where he will get most of

391
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:53,519
his completions, and that's within in my opinion, the fifteen

392
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:56,519
to twenty five yards is where Bear is on point

393
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,279
really with his passing and he could be rolling and

394
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:04,680
throwing anyways. Exciting game and we're moving forward doing better

395
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,839
than most people expect.

396
00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: And I can't can't complain. You're really not going to

397
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,680
see like.

398
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,039
Speaker 2: Significant vertical passing game from Bar until probably next season

399
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:17,559
in my opinion, when he can really start to maximize

400
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:20,359
his lower half and generate more rotational torque off his

401
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,519
lower half. And I know people, the individuals that you

402
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:26,119
know want to fight against me on this.

403
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,799
Speaker 1: It is what it is like you you don't.

404
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 2: Know ball and my guys, like he's just he's he's

405
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,680
an above average deep ball thrower.

406
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: Like you don't have to be.

407
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:36,799
Speaker 3: You don't have to the best deep ball thrower to

408
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:38,799
be at bro an amazing quarterback.

409
00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: No, you don't like quite honestly, Like he's his short

410
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,839
to intermediate passing.

411
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: Is like like pristine Bro. It is pristine Bro.

412
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: Even as layered throws like that throw to Parker Kingston

413
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,039
in the back of the end zone right before the

414
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,200
back line.

415
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,279
Speaker 1: Guys, that is a touch.

416
00:20:56,079 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: Throw, layered throw over a a a second that has

417
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,759
their heels at the goal line and they elevate and

418
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:06,960
jump it kind of floats. Look at the ball. The

419
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:10,000
nose is kind of up. And if you understand aerodynamics,

420
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:13,440
and look, I'm not an engineer. I'm not an aerodynamics

421
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,559
you know, physicists or anything like that.

422
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: I stayed at a holiday in last night.

423
00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: When that the nose is kind of floating up, it

424
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,119
kind of floats a.

425
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:25,519
Speaker 1: Little bit, you know what I'm talking about. It doesn't

426
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:27,160
turn over, and it doesn't turn over.

427
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: It kind of just continues to float and it stays

428
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:32,960
level a little bit, and it stays up away from

429
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,440
the hands, right, And so you don't always want the

430
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,480
nose flatlining. That's like a line drive, right. He doesn't

431
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:42,400
throw line drive throws. You'll see it kind of float.

432
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,279
And that's a more catchable ball for a white. It's

433
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:46,799
a more catchable ball from a defensive back.

434
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: Trust me. I know.

435
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,759
Speaker 3: Well it's even in the ball through to Chase at

436
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:54,039
the Utah in the ear hole touchdown.

437
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,039
Speaker 1: That was a line drive. Was beautiful fit. It was

438
00:21:58,079 --> 00:21:58,440
so not.

439
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 3: There's so many of those coming. I think we're going

440
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,640
to see so much more of that moving forward. And

441
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,079

00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,359
past two weeks, and we got it on for hek

504
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,000
at Lisa every night for the next thirty thirty five days.

505
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 6: So sign me up for that.

506
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: It's been aw I've loved it.

507
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: One thing that I've talked to a lot about over

508
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,240
the last five years in college football, as we've seen

509
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:11,160
the landscape change a little bit, this free market, capitalistic,

510
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,799
no guard rails system that we have in placed in

511
00:25:14,799 --> 00:25:18,119
the unregulated regulated system. I said, look, the pendulum's going

512
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,880
to swing, and it's been aggressive, but there's gonna be

513
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,759
a lot of people saying this is bad for the sport.

514
00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:26,599
Everyone's gonna leave, and no one wants this, YadA, YadA, YadA,

515
00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:29,160
And I'm like, look and like it's gonna have to

516
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,799
swing back to homeostasis in mid center. But for the

517
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,680
time being, it's actually going to create parody in college

518
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,480
football because look, the NCAA and the power brokers of

519
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,160
college football have operated as an oligopoly as a college

520
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,720
football club ball for too long, and now we're seeing

521
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,400
what happens when everybody gets to play by the same

522
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:55,000
rules and isn't ultimately you know, cater to with the

523
00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:58,000
rules and regulations. And so I really like the college

524
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,960
football product as is the parody. Want to get your

525
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,960
thoughts on everything that's a curd over the last five

526
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,279
years and what you think of the product now as

527
00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:07,240
opposed to the past products.

528
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 5: Well, I tell you, you know, beauty is always in

529
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,640
the eye of the beholder, and if you were one

530
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,200
of the teams that had a monopoly on college football,

531
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,680
then you're probably not liking what you're seeing across the

532
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,319
board because you're a monopoly and the ability to create

533
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,039
a monopoly I think in college football has really been

534
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,640
hit by this.

535
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 6: But if you're basically.

536
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,079
Speaker 1: Are you calling out Nick Saban, right, I'm kidding.

537
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:31,839
Speaker 6: Look, I mean again, no, no, no, I mean he

538
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,519
was and power to him. Credit to him. You know,

539
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,440
he was able to do it.

540
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,559
Speaker 5: I think that's one of the reasons that he ended

541
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,279
up getting out. And we're kind of seeing that in

542
00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:41,440
a lot. You're really seeing it in college basketball with

543
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,319
some of these coaches that have had monopolies for a

544
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,000
long time and it's kind of shifting there.

545
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,279
Speaker 6: But this has been And look, do I want.

546
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,599
Speaker 5: Regulations and rules and to be able to set precedent

547
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,880
and it be more organized, Yes, But I don't know

548
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,960
how you could argue with the product.

549
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,079
Speaker 6: Not only that, Look the viewership.

550
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 5: You know, for all these people that were like, oh,

551
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,720
people are just gonna stop watching college football, well that's

552
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:11,279
nuts to think regardless, but viewership is actually somehow even

553
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,079
going up when you look across the country. So you know,

554
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,519
in those two aspects, in the aspect of popularity and

555
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:20,839
then the aspect of it being more fun to watch it.

556
00:27:21,279 --> 00:27:23,599
I love not knowing the end of the movie while

557
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:25,160
I'm watching it for the first time.

558
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 6: And it seemed like for so long, for so many years,

559
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,519
we're like, all right, well, there's this.

560
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 5: One team or two team teams that have stacked so

561
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,920
much talent, they're way better than everybody else, and outside

562
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,799
of an act of God, nobody has a chance.

563
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,279
Speaker 6: I'm looking at it right now.

564
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 5: I mean, we did our college football playoff rankings today.

565
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,200
We do them every Tuesday, and I'm looking across the

566
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:52,160
board and the representation and the matchups and not knowing

567
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,400
how it would work out.

568
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:54,839
Speaker 6: Is at an all time high.

569
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 5: I have a feeling that the longer this goes on,

570
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:00,599
this playoff is gonna start looking more more a little

571
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:06,599
like March Madness, where really, legitimately anybody could beat anybody.

572
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:08,519
Speaker 6: On a given day, which makes it a lot more fun.

573
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:09,160
In my opinion.

574
00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: I love it.

575
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: I want more of it, and it's it's been entertaining

576
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,720
from my perch. I love seeing SMU come back from

577
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,200
the dead after the death penalty for doing what everybody

578
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,720
else was doing in the eighties, right I love to

579
00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:24,400
see that, and I love c BYU. Obviously there's a

580
00:28:24,519 --> 00:28:26,680
you know, I have a horse in this race, like

581
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,759
I covered every single day, Like look, BYU has been

582
00:28:29,799 --> 00:28:33,079
on the outskirts for so long, stiff armed by the

583
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,119
power brokers of college football, the Pac Twelve due to

584
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,559
in my mind, religious bigotry, stiff armed the BYU Cougars.

585
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,119
The Big twelve finally came calling because Texas and OU

586
00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:45,319
went to the SEC and By's benefited from it. So

587
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,200
and they haven't made a colle football playoff yet, but

588
00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:50,519
they may be knocking on the door of a college

589
00:28:50,519 --> 00:28:51,599
football playoff this year.

590
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 6: Well, well without a doubt.

591
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:57,039
Speaker 5: And I mean, look at BYU at least has some

592
00:28:57,079 --> 00:28:59,559
really good tradition in the past. It's a brand that

593
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:02,079
we know that has had power at some point. But

594
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,720
look at Vandy, look at Indiana. I could make you

595
00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:09,720
want to talk about like losing fifty pounds during the summer,

596
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:11,519
going into your junior year of high school and walking

597
00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:13,720
in day one. Now the girls are looking at you twice.

598
00:29:13,839 --> 00:29:16,519
It's just it's a new look in college football right now.

599
00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:18,839
And I'll give you one better, I think, And look,

600
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,640
I know Memphis lost to UAB. It's an absolute race

601
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,240
right now in the group of five, But I think

602
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,720
there has never been a year where a group and

603
00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:28,680
I'm including Cincinnati when never group of five making the

604
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,039
fourteen playoffs. There has never been a year where I

605
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:32,640
feel like the group of five team has a chance

606
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,200
to win a college football playoff game to the level

607
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:36,880
like I think we're gonna have this year.

608
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 6: Seeing how it.

609
00:29:38,119 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 5: Plays out, So it's gonna make for better watching. You're

610
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,640
gonna have different people involved in. The more different fan

611
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,480
bases that get excited about a certain sport, the better

612
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:48,599
that sport will be. Because it's not like Alabama fans

613
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:51,039
are gonna stop caring, you know. It's not like Georgia

614
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:54,039
fans are gonna stop caring, or Michigan fans or anybody

615
00:29:54,079 --> 00:29:54,400
like that.

616
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 6: So again, I think, all in all.

617
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,599
Speaker 5: It's gonna win for if you really love, wholesome love

618
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,079
the sport of college football. I think it's, against all odds,

619
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:06,119
been a win so far.

620
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:07,279
Speaker 1: Love it.

621
00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: Jake, What topics have you guys been broaching specifically on

622
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:13,799
your show recently? What have you guys been delving into

623
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,400
And then I want to transition over to some big

624
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:15,960
dwell talk.

625
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:20,119
Speaker 5: Well, you know, obviously the coaching carousel that's going on

626
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,200
with all these big time jobs that are open at

627
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,319
the same time. That's something you always got a monitor,

628
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,400
especially when coaches are.

629
00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 6: Getting let go mid season. But it's really we've.

630
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 5: Never had a year where we've had to cover as

631
00:30:32,319 --> 00:30:35,359
many teams. And when you look at our power rankings,

632
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,400
when you put out we put out, when you look at.

633
00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:39,359
Speaker 6: Our previews of these games, when you.

634
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 5: Look at our college Football Playoff projection that we just

635
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:46,160
put out literally fifteen minutes ago, it has never been

636
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:47,079
this deep.

637
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,319
Speaker 6: So we're talking about.

638
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:52,599
Speaker 5: Everybody, whether it's BYU, whether it's Alabama, whether it's usc

639
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:55,359
whether it's it doesn't matter. There's so many teams that

640
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,599
are still in it right now. We're really being able

641
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,880
to evaluate teams for longer than we've had to in

642
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:02,240
the past, which is more work, but it's a lot

643
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:03,960
more fun. I mean, I worked in a steel mill.

644
00:31:04,039 --> 00:31:06,359
I can tell you more worth talking about college football

645
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:07,920
is a whole heck of a lot better than that.

646
00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:12,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, love that breakdown From a coaching carousel standpoint, I

647
00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:13,839
don't know where you stand as far as the opinion

648
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,039
is concerned.

649
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:17,039
Speaker 1: On these firings, right.

650
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that Penn State decided to move

651
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:26,640
away so rapidly after a CFP bid and win, and

652
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,440
you're a play away, a score away from going and

653
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,440
winning a national championship. Possibly even Brian Kelly to a

654
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,480
certain new yrek, we can all agree Brian Kelly's been

655
00:31:37,519 --> 00:31:40,880
a very good college football coach over the last two decades.

656
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,480
It's not even it's not even a conversation. And like,

657
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:45,640
look like they have two games in which they lost

658
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,720
by one score. Yeah, they got demolished by Texas A

659
00:31:47,759 --> 00:31:50,119
and M. But Texas AM is literally having their best season.

660
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,079
They're the most overrated team in college football over the

661
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:56,920
last thirty years in the EIGHTP pole era, and they're

662
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,759
finally having maybe their best team than their best season

663
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,680
in their history. And it's like, okay, Like sometimes you

664
00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:09,599
just like the knee jerk reaction here is and I like,

665
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,400
I can give you my theory on this. I think

666
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,920
it it's because of the NIL era, maybe one of

667
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,839
the negative You have more power brokers, you have more

668
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,920
equity stakeholders that are paying for personnel, and then they

669
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:23,799
just are fanning and they don't know a ball and

670
00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:25,720
they're like, we got to fire everybody and start all

671
00:32:25,759 --> 00:32:27,720
over again if we want to win a National Championship.

672
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, look, I try and take a stance, uh,

673
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:35,640
individually for what's going on, because obviously programs are in

674
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,200
different spots, but when you look at LSU and Penn State,

675
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:42,759
there is some crossover. They're obviously really big brands. Uh,

676
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:46,400
They're not afraid to spend money hiring and firing. But

677
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,519
I think the overarching theme is good. Being really good

678
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,240
isn't good enough anymore. Uh, And I think NIL has

679
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,359
something to do it to your point, because you have

680
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,240
a lot more people that are now paying right, that

681
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:02,160
are that are relying on getting a return on their

682
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,839
investment for what they're giving these codes. It's not just

683
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,960
about the coaches contracts and the money anymore. It's now

684
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,880
about well, wait, we gave you fifteen million dollars for

685
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,839
this roster, and anm just pulled your pants down and

686
00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:16,519
spanked you in front of everybody at Walmart like it's

687
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,160
and look, one game. This wasn't a one game thing

688
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:21,480
for James Franklin. It wasn't a one game thing for

689
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:24,000
Brian Kelly. I just think at some point, and you know,

690
00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:27,160
and maybe I'm in the minority on this, kudo's to

691
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,839
Penn State and LSU for saying good isn't good enough.

692
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,119
And for Penn State, you know, they've been beating the

693
00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:35,480
teams they were supposed to beat, couldn't really ever win

694
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,440
the big win or get over that hump, and then

695
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,640
you start losing to the teams you're supposed to beat.

696
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,200
So I can understand that move there. That Brian Kelly

697
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,880
one shocked me a little bit more, not just because

698
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,119
Brian Kelly hasn't been at LSU as long as James Franklin.

699
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 6: Was, but this thing spiraled quickly.

700
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 5: This wasn't you know, if Brian Kelly was gonna get fired,

701
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,720
ninety nine point nine percent of the people, including people

702
00:33:56,759 --> 00:33:59,440
on the inside LSU, thought it would be after the season.

703
00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:03,039
I mean, this thing just absolutely spiraled, and it felt

704
00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:06,119
more knee jerk than the Penn State one, probably just

705
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,079
because James Franklin's been there for so long. I would rather,

706
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:11,760
at the end of the day, though, want the program

707
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,360
I root for to have so much pride that just

708
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,639
being good enough isn't good enough. So in a way,

709
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,159
I think it just goes to show you that with

710
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,480
the transfer portal now and with nil money being shoveled

711
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,519
in from everybody, because it's legal now.

712
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,519
Speaker 6: It has done nothing but add to the pressure.

713
00:34:28,559 --> 00:34:30,199
Speaker 5: And you know what, I don't want to hear anybody

714
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:34,239
else complain about how unfair of an advantage coaches have

715
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,800
over players now when these guys are getting knocked down

716
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,360
left and right mid season who've won a lot of

717
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:40,440
games in the sports.

718
00:34:40,559 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 6: So in that sense, I actually think it's a good thing.

719
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: Is it.

720
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: Is there enough coaching talent pool though, to go find

721
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,880
someone that's gonna do a truly better job. Knowing that

722
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,039
the free market, this is one of the most competitive.

723
00:34:55,079 --> 00:34:56,039
Speaker 1: I'm in corporate America.

724
00:34:56,119 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: I'm an entrepreneur, Like I see what private equity has done.

725
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,239
I've seen what these major corporations doing when they're competing

726
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,360
with bohemos.

727
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: Which we're talking that's what we're talking about here.

728
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 2: We're talking about the best of the best competing on

729
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,119
the highest playing field. Like I think this is more

730
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,679
NFL than people are realizing. There's gonna be three loss

731
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,920
teams in the college football playoff going forward.

732
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: I think not just two loss.

733
00:35:24,159 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: If you're gonna see some three lost teams maybe eventually

734
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,119
get into the college football Playoff. With how much cannibalism

735
00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:32,239
is occurring, I just don't know if you can get

736
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:34,880
much better. You don't expect your team to be undefeated

737
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,119
or even one loss at the end of the season

738
00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:40,039
if you're in the Big ten, SEC, Big twelve acc.

739
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, and look, I agree with you. Obviously

740
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,440
you have more lives than you did in the past.

741
00:35:47,559 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 5: But I think there's also a negative side on that

742
00:35:50,039 --> 00:35:52,480
coin when you look and say, wait a minute, we're

743
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:54,880
paying you how much a year and you can't make

744
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,719
a twelve team playoff, Like you look at LSU and

745
00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:01,079
look at at the ten talent that has been through

746
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:03,360
there that did not make the college football playoff. I

747
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,840
think in some ways now Penn State is different because

748
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,840
obviously Penn State's the playoff. They've had some success in

749
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,239
the playoff. That's why I don't think the circumstances are

750
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,360
exactly the same. But you look at Brian Kelly and

751
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,800
LSU and this is supposed to be the team nes

752
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,559
Meyer came back. You spent what eighteen million dollars on

753
00:36:19,599 --> 00:36:22,000
the roster or something like that. When no, you go

754
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:24,119
and you beat Clemson on the road in the first

755
00:36:24,199 --> 00:36:26,159
you know, win your first game for the first time

756
00:36:26,159 --> 00:36:28,239
in six years, and it's a big one, then you're

757
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,559
gonna miss the college football playoff again. I actually think

758
00:36:31,599 --> 00:36:35,159
the expansion in some ways has sped up the timeline

759
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:37,559
of coaches getting fired who don't make it.

760
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right.

761
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: I just don't know if it's wise for these especially

762
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:46,440
scared money.

763
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,079
Speaker 6: You know, you know, scared money don't make no money.

764
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,639
At the end of the day, it's who call it?

765
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: Okay, why were they hiring? Then? All right, that's fine.

766
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,519
Speaker 2: You better have some you better have an expanded hiring

767
00:36:57,639 --> 00:36:59,880
pool then, or you better be willing to take a

768
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:06,280
risk on a young, aspiring, talented, hard working, tenacious, Kelly Kenny,

769
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,800
Kelly Dillingham, you know type of thing, right like that,

770
00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:12,320
that's the Dan. Are you gonna find the next Dan Lanning?

771
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: Right?

772
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: Because you ain't taking them from Oregon? You're probably you

773
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,239
may not take Dillingham from ASU like that. That's where

774
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,320
I'm getting at, Like who they hiring? Who are they

775
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,360
gonna go after? And don't say Nick, Yeah, well, don't

776
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,239
tell me Nick Saban's coming out of retirement or Urban

777
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,440
Myers coming out of retirement.

778
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,079
Speaker 1: I don't see it.

779
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 6: Well, let's let's take those two guys off the board.

780
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:33,559
Then now I would call him.

781
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 5: I mean, Nick Saban would have to get a cease

782
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,480
and desisorder sent to my house the amount of time

783
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,440
if I was the ad, the amount of times i'd

784
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,320
call him. But look, I don't think you fire a

785
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,320
coach with that big of a buyout to go bargain shopping.

786
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,800
I don't, And most ads, at least the smart ones,

787
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,159
have a plan before a move gets made. That's why again,

788
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,719
these mid season firings are kind of jarring with some

789
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,079
of these guys, because you're like, all right, well, if

790
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:00,840
you're gonna make that big of a decision, there has

791
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,039
to be a plan behind it that's already been in

792
00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:04,719
the works for a couple weeks or something.

793
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,079
Speaker 6: Now. I don't know the answer to that. I would

794
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:08,159
assume that there is.

795
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 5: But when you look at the names out there, and

796
00:38:10,599 --> 00:38:14,400
I want to make sure, I think sometimes fans and

797
00:38:14,599 --> 00:38:17,760
schools fall into the trap of, oh, well, we hired

798
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,400
a guy who coached in the group of five, so

799
00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:21,039
we can't ever do that again.

800
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 6: You need to go hire the best guy.

801
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 5: I don't care if he's an NFL guy, if he's

802
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:28,880
a group of five guy, if he's a guy that's

803
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,960
already been at power for and had success or whatever.

804
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:33,679
You don't need to box yourself in. You need to

805
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,639
go hire the right guy because at the end of

806
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:37,920
the day, you want to know how crazy coaching is.

807
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,119
Les Miles won a national championship at LSU, ed Orgeron

808
00:38:42,199 --> 00:38:43,880
won a national championship at LSU.

809
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 6: One guy ate the grass, the other one smoked it.

810
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,519
Speaker 5: Yet Brian Kelly, who's won more games than just about anybody,

811
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,360
couldn't even sniff it there. So there's not like there's

812
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,400
a perfect formula or recipe, but the names. If I

813
00:38:55,559 --> 00:38:58,239
was LSU, i'd obviously give Lane kiff and a call.

814
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,519
We'll see how that works out. The Fordage was open

815
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:03,239
to would he take it? I'm not one hundred percent sure.

816
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,519
I would definitely give a call to Eli Drinklewitz at Missouri.

817
00:39:07,119 --> 00:39:09,119
I think he's worth giving a call to. But then

818
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:11,800
a guy like Joe Brady right who was there when

819
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,199
LSU was really really cooking, who's really I think, reinvented

820
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,400
himself in the NFL as you know, kind of a

821
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,119
guy that was very one dimensional in what he did.

822
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:23,840
He's really kind of opened up himself. And you know,

823
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,480
the coaching ranks even in the NFL, they're going younger

824
00:39:26,519 --> 00:39:29,199
and younger. If you haven't realized that yet, that's where

825
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,639
it's going. So I again, there needs to be a plan.

826
00:39:33,519 --> 00:39:35,920
I would be shocked if there wasn't a plan. But

827
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,960
these schools LSU and Florida and Penn State, I mean,

828
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,719
how do you not call Clark Lee right now? I

829
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,480
mean he's a guy that I mean if he can

830
00:39:43,519 --> 00:39:45,559
do it at Vanderbilt. And then it's funny because I

831
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:48,119
hear Penn State fans that are like, well, well, you know,

832
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,960
James Franklin came from Vanderbilt, so we can't hire another

833
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:51,440
band guy.

834
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:52,639
Speaker 6: Man, that's not how this works.

835
00:39:53,039 --> 00:39:55,199
Speaker 5: That's like saying, oh, I dated a blonde in high

836
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,280
school and we broke up. Now I'm in college, I'm

837
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,639
never dating another blonde. That's not how it works.

838
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm wondering if you know.

839
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: So let's let's take a transition over to BYU real quick, right,

840
00:40:05,519 --> 00:40:08,119
Klonie Stucky's building a championship program in his tenth year.

841
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:10,679
I don't think there's any amount of money that would

842
00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:15,000
take Kilanne away from BYU for a number of reasons.

843
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:17,599
I think he looks at what Kyle Whittingham ended up

844
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:20,440
building at Utah, and Kyle turned down a lot of

845
00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:27,320
offers right to create a sustainable, sustainable culture, a foundational

846
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,519
one that allows you to at least compete for championships. Now,

847
00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:33,199
did Utah ever get over the hump? Maybe not, But

848
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,400
he's made a good enough living. He doesn't need to,

849
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:39,159
you know, make more money necessarily, and he had a

850
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,079
little bit of what I would deem as balance in life.

851
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:43,519
And I think there are a lot of college football

852
00:40:43,519 --> 00:40:46,199
coaches that would like maybe a little bit more balance

853
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,159
in life. They may get a little fatigue unless they

854
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,840
got the the you know, two three four year burnout

855
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,440
and then they get paid out right the burnout the payout,

856
00:40:54,519 --> 00:40:57,039
which is fine and dandy too, But I'm wonder if

857
00:40:57,079 --> 00:41:00,000
there's more coaches that are in this new competitive environment

858
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:02,800
and that like Ed Vanderbilt, for instance, is he gonna

859
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,880
stick it out because he's seeing finally that Vandy can

860
00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:08,599
pay Like they have an alumni base that has plenty

861
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:11,639
of money. Right, they just have always operated within the rules,

862
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,719
it sounds like, right, they haven't been the ones willing

863
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,360
to cheat in order to win.

864
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,079
Speaker 1: And so I wonder if he sticks it out. A

865
00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:18,719
lot of these.

866
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: Programs that have risen from the dust and their coaching staffs.

867
00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:25,480
I wonder if they say, look, I have a little

868
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,559
bit of balanc here. Matt Campbell is a good, good example.

869
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,519
He's won at a high level, right, the modern day

870
00:41:33,159 --> 00:41:36,639
type of Schneider you know at Kansas States, if you

871
00:41:36,679 --> 00:41:39,559
will that state long term and Bill Culture Foundation, and

872
00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:42,239
you're actually receiving a lot of gratitude from the fan

873
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,840
base rather than always trying.

874
00:41:44,679 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: To fire you.

875
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I think you know, obviously age has something

876
00:41:51,679 --> 00:41:53,000
to do with it. You look at a guy as

877
00:41:53,079 --> 00:41:56,159
young as Clark Lee, I mean, it was his goal

878
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,719
getting into coaching to end up coaching at Vandy for

879
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,679
twenty years or does he want to see what he

880
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:05,800
can do when he goes to a powerhouse that already

881
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,800
has all that stuff built in, it's not having to

882
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,880
go through that process. It's a little bit different with

883
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,840
a guy like Lane Kiffin, who is still relatively young

884
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,719
in coaching. But Lane's already had all these huge jobs

885
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:17,639
he's been on that I mean he look, he was

886
00:42:17,679 --> 00:42:19,559
the head coach of the Raiders, he was like thirteen,

887
00:42:20,039 --> 00:42:22,199
and then he goes to Tennessee and then he goes

888
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,639
to USC and then he finds a perfect home and

889
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,320
old miss. So he's been out there and been a

890
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,760
part of those big brands, and he's kind of changed

891
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,440
his personality a little bit as far as it comes

892
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,519
to off the field, and he may like that fit better.

893
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:35,760
So I think, you know, you look at a guy

894
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,000
like Colonie Sataki, for example. I'm not saying Colonie's old,

895
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,760
but he has built a reputation as BYU's head coach.

896
00:42:43,079 --> 00:42:45,559
They've had success there. It's not a guy that's going

897
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:48,559
to get fired after one terrible year, and you know

898
00:42:48,639 --> 00:42:49,960
he's going to be looked at a guy that really

899
00:42:50,039 --> 00:42:52,360
resurrected it. And you're playing at a really high level.

900
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,920
And look, a couple of years ago, I came out

901
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,000
and said Utah is the most underrated football state in

902
00:42:56,039 --> 00:42:56,480
the country.

903
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 6: And it's sure as looking like that. I don't know

904
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,440
what wea were states doing right now, but I'm looking

905
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,079
at Utah and BYU.

906
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 5: That are that are both cooking, and it's it's like

907
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,679
they it's like y'all out there love football a ton,

908
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,800
but not enough to whar you're as nuts as some

909
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,800
of the people that I grew up around here in

910
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,000
the South like there is a good balance to where

911
00:43:18,159 --> 00:43:20,880
you're gonna have support even when it's going bad. But

912
00:43:21,079 --> 00:43:23,760
you give those people, you give them some success and

913
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,719
they're gonna love you for life. And that's why kind

914
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,559
of resurrecting BYU to what they are now has been

915
00:43:28,599 --> 00:43:30,000
such a big deal. And that's why I think Colonie

916
00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:32,280
Sataki should be the coach of the Year this year

917
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,880
so far when you look at what happened at quarterback

918
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,639
and then being able to basically, you know, put a

919
00:43:37,639 --> 00:43:40,360
guy wearing forty seven at quarterback and it still works.

920
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,800
It's it's just hilarious to me. And you know, again,

921
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,559
the staff obviously really likes each other.

922
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,199
Speaker 6: They get along well. And I'm just so happy for

923
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,880
Klana because he's he does it the right way and

924
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,599
BYU does it the right way. And it's good to

925
00:43:53,639 --> 00:43:55,159
see good things happen to good people.

926
00:43:55,559 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: Who do you expect to be in Arlington in the

927
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,039
Big twelve championship game?

928
00:43:59,079 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 6: And why, God, look this one. You I knew it

929
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:04,960
was gonna be fun to keep up with the Big

930
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:05,679
Twelve this year.

931
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:07,679
Speaker 5: You know, at this point looking at the rest of

932
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,320
the schedule, and I'll be honest with you, you know,

933
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,800
I think some BYU fans will agree with me. I

934
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,280
wasn't sold on BYU until the last couple of weeks.

935
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,920
And again, I know, the schedule feels like it gets

936
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,360
progressively harder. You got to go to Texas Tech, this, that,

937
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,320
and the other. But at some point we're going into

938
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,440
week eleven, right there's no surprises anymore, Like nobody's sneaking

939
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,039
around for eleven weeks and all of a sudden they're

940
00:44:30,039 --> 00:44:32,480
fraudulent or they're they're just really really good.

941
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 6: But yeah, and again, you don't until you do, and

942
00:44:38,039 --> 00:44:38,920
now you have, and.

943
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,519
Speaker 5: We've seen the result at home and on the road

944
00:44:41,639 --> 00:44:43,039
and finding different ways to win.

945
00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 6: To me, right now, I would say I would probably

946
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,280
lean towards BYU.

947
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 5: And Cincinnati are Texas Tech, and since Cincinnati is another

948
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,920
team that I don't think Saderfield's getting talked about enough

949
00:44:57,079 --> 00:44:59,559
and don't forget they and I know if it's the nuts,

950
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:01,519
we're if some butts for candy and nuts, we'd all

951
00:45:01,519 --> 00:45:04,159
have a merry Christmas. But they really gave that opening

952
00:45:04,199 --> 00:45:07,039
game to Nebraska. Cincinnati should really be eight to.

953
00:45:07,119 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 6: No right now, so it's gonna be fun, you know. Utah,

954
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:11,800
I know still in it.

955
00:45:12,679 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 5: I'm as excited to watch the rest of this Big

956
00:45:14,559 --> 00:45:16,719
Twelve season as any other conference out there.

957
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 6: But I will say this, I do think the Big

958
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,239
Twelve only gets one team.

959
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: In you son of a motherless go you scumsuck, you sucking.

960
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,039
Speaker 6: I know. Well, well here's the thing, Big twelve fans.

961
00:45:27,119 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 5: You need to be rooting against Virginia you need to

962
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:35,159
be rooting against Georgia Tech. You need the ACC to

963
00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:38,199
get one, or be rooting against Notre Dame to get

964
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,480
that third loss, because right now, just doing the math,

965
00:45:41,639 --> 00:45:44,039
it really feels like the Big Twelve is only going

966
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:44,679
to get one.

967
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: In Jake, best way to support you what you do?
