19
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:52,719
One of the questions we're going to delve into today

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,280
is who runs the Big twelve? Is it Brett Yormark

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,200
the commissioner or is it Cody Campbell, the oil tycoon

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,079
and big time don't owner of Texas Tech. Uh to

23
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:04,959
be determined. We're gonna put it to a poll and

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
see you know who is actually running the Big twelve

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,000
and leave it up to Kugarnation to decide. But this

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,799

hode On Men's where we got my guy, Braidon Day

46
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:06,000
on the line. Braidon, how you live it?

47
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: You guys doing.

48
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,879
Speaker 1: Living the dream man? So in your opinion, I don't

49
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:13,319
know if you saw this or not, Braidon, but there

50
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:16,840
is a hullabaloo. There is a fisticuffs. There is a

51
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,879
little bit of enmity between brett Ormark, your Big Twelve commissioner,

52
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:24,199
and one Cody Campbell, the oil tycoon that is booyed

53
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,599
up Texas Tech Red Raiders football team. He's a former

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Texas Tech Raider football player, and maybe even some of

55
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,520
that money is trickling down to basketball and the Olympic Sports.

56
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,159
So pretty crazy to see this brett Ormark making official

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,719
statements of you know, stating things like Cody Campbell does

58
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:49,319
not run the Big twelve after Texas Tech Regent's chairman

59
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:51,719
says or Mark didn't go to bat for the Red

60
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Raiders in Fox's desire to move Tech and uage game

61
00:02:56,039 --> 00:03:01,719
to a Friday night. Is the the oil paccoon overstepping

62
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:05,960
his bounds by being so publicly opinionated about all things

63
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240
in the Big Twelve and the NCAA as well. He's

64
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240
been very aggressive.

65
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,199
Speaker 3: I would say he's overstepping a little bit. I mean, what,

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,439
you go win the conference once and you've had the

67
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,159
last ten years not been anything, and now all of

68
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:19,719
a sudden, the conference runs through Lubbock, Like you said,

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,520
I don't know. I think it's a little great. I

70
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,199
do think they're obviously set up to be, you know,

71
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,719
the front runner again this year, so they definitely have

72
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:29,479
something there. But I think this is kind of crazy

73
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:32,919
have him go play an independent schedule where we're playing

74
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,319
an away game on a Saturday night, getting back early,

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,319
and then playing Thursday night.

76
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:41,759
Speaker 1: So he recently published wrote an op ed. It was

77
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,280
published in the USA Today and establishes a critical perspective

78
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:50,520
on college sports reform and should be the guide, Cody

79
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,479
Campbell says, to out any outcome, any solution that emerges.

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,840
College sports are important to the entire entire country and

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,680
owned by the American public, not by any individual. A

82
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:03,439
single institution or by special interest. We should fully focus

83
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:07,680
on preserving on the preservation of all sports, all of

84
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:10,919
the schools, and protection of all the athletes and communities

85
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,039
to which they matter deeply. So you have to check

86
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,360
that out. I mean, he is going head on into

87
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,800
like just reconciling and reforming college athletics right now. I mean,

88
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,839
he's all in on this.

89
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I honestly loved what he's spent up until today.

90
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:32,160
I was like super pumped about how he was fighting

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,519
in the un I kind of hoped that he would

92
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:35,000
knowing that he was in the same we were in

93
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,240
the same conference, and could you fighting for us. I

94
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,079
just think today it was a little petty some of

95
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,519
the stuff that came out with all of that. And

96
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240
I understand Texas high school football is a big deal,

97
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,360
and that's kind of is what his thing is, is like, hey,

98
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,040
let's not mess with mess with Texas high school football.

99
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:54,360
But that article talks about how there was times where

100
00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:56,600
there was I think seven games played in Texas on

101
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,040
Friday last year. They weren't one of them. But it's

102
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,079
not like it's unheard to play a Friday night game

103
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,360
in Texas. So I just kind of think it's a

104
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:07,160
little crazy and asking a little too much for what's

105
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,480
going on. Maybe it's all good. Maybe it's good to

106
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,639
stir drama, and you know, he news is good news

107
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:12,319
for the Big Twelve.

108
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, Cody Campbell going off and saying, apparently Brett

109
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:18,519
didn't get the memo everything runs through Lubbock. Maybe we

110
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,600
should bring the tortillas back, says Cody Campbell. I mean,

111
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:24,720
he's he's picking a fight. That's what it comes down to.

112
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,560
He's picking a fight. And I know Brett Ormark made

113
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,800
an official statement saying that he doesn't run the Big Twelve,

114
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:34,160
nor will he ever. Does he run the Big Twelve? No,

115
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,319
but Campbell is complaining publicly about the conference and its

116
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,399
television partners possibly moving this year's Texas Tech football game

117
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240
against Houston to a Friday night. Doesn't like it, and

118
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,240
he's very vocal. I mean, he's very opinion. When you

119
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,879
make that type of money or a billionaire, you begin

120
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:49,759
to think that all of your opinions do matter, and

121
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,759
everybody wants to hear him. And look, there are a

122
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,639
lot of people that are I mean, we're talking about it.

123
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,439
We're talking about it because there is a little bit

124
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,040
competitive enmity between these two.

125
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,959
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, and I think, like you said, when you

126
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,600
have that kind of money and you're that quote unquote important,

127
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,839
I feel like it does lend you to believe that

128
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:08,879
your opinions are are more important than that. But I think,

129
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,839
I mean, if you kind of look at what why

130
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:12,519
the conference is doing that. He even said it in

131
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:15,639
his statements that they're picking ratings, and I think, well,

132
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:17,959
what's wrong with that? I mean, that's what we're looking

133
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,839
at is in college sports right now, is to try

134
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:23,680
and find ways to fund the rev share, fund all

135
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,879
those different platforms so that we can actually get to

136
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,519
a spot then we can make the conference a better conference.

137
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,319
But I just don't see where that's the negative thing. Like

138
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,319
the only negative I can see is the whole Friday

139
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:34,680
night thing, And I'm like, that's really not that big

140
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,480
of a deal to have one game a year. It's

141
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:37,639
not going to be in the end of the world

142
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,360
for you guys, So like, why throw a fit over this?

143
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,519
It's got to be something deeper that he's using this

144
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,079
as a you know, a mechanism to start that fight.

145
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:47,240
Is the only thing I can think of, because it

146
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,759
really just doesn't seem like it's that big of a

147
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,319
deal for me.

148
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bray Ormarz stated that Big twelve president is Ad

149
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:56,319
has approved twelve non Saturday games a year, and he

150
00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:59,079
was asked on April first for a response to Campe's

151
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,240
comments on social media into the Avalanche Journal. The Big

152
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,360
twelve issued a statement from your Work to AJ Cody

153
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Campbell obviously does not run the Big Twelve. Our board

154
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360
and eights approved playing twelve games a year off of

155
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Saturdays in an effort to raise the profile, narrative, and

156
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,360
viewership of Big twelve football. Texas Tech hosting a primetime

157
00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,639
game on Friday night delivers that Friday night Big twelve

158
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,639
football games outperform the conference's average rating by sixty four

159
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000
percent in twenty twenty five. All of our schools are

160
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,639
treated equally during the TV scheduling process, and this game

161
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,839
fits within our scheduling parameters. I'm thankful that our TV

162
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,160
partners provide us with these opportunities. There were seven FBS

163
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:38,480
regular season games, including two involving Big twelve teams, played

164
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,480
on Friday nights in Texas last season, Auburn, Baylor and

165
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,399
unlv SAM Houston State. On August twenty ninth, Colorado Houston

166
00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:48,600
on September twelfth, South Florida and North Texas on October tenth,

167
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:51,199
and then Memphis Rice on October thirty first in Texas

168
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,360
A and m Versus Texas. And I think there was

169
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:58,199
a Temple North Texas game on November twenty eighth as well.

170
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,199
So look, BOU fans would become a cut to Friday

171
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,199
night games, Like they're like, all right, yeah, we're on

172
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,199
the West Coast, we're in the Mountain West area in

173
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:09,519
the time zone. We'll take it. And yeah, and we're

174
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:12,000
gonna be on ESPN, we'll be on Fox. And typically

175
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,600
you get a you get kind of a more key

176
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,000
slot in a in a later night showing. And it's

177
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,959
benefited b way you think from a branding standpoint. I

178
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,839
know a lot not all the East Coast viewers will

179
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,759
will stay up late, but I think for the most

180
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:25,839
part it's benefited BWAU.

181
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:28,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's why I think it's a it's a

182
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:30,439
good thing for the conference in my opinion. If if

183
00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:33,080
it's benefited by you in the past during the independence era,

184
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,360
why wouldn't it also benefit the conference to be able

185
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,200
to get more visibility, more people watching the conference Because

186
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,320
what not that I like to say it, but when

187
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,440
you're competing against you know, the top games and the

188
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,519
big ten of the top games in the SEC on Saturday,

189
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,399
you're gonna get less viewership. So why not find ways

190
00:08:49,399 --> 00:08:52,360
to get our brand of football out there as to

191
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,399
as many people as possible to hope to start flip

192
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,879
that flipping that narrative.

193
00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:59,799
Speaker 1: Over time, braydon tell us a little bit about Odeon,

194
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:02,000
where what you're providing for all of our missionaries that

195
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:03,799
have been called to serve, Now is the time to

196
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,519
maybe outfit all the missionaries that are preparing for the

197
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,759
mission field. They should do it at Odeon Men'swear.

198
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so for missionaries, we've actually been doing it since

199
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,559
twenty twelve. We were at first a missionary company. We

200
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:19,679
outfit in missionaries basically only missionaries for a long long time,

201
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,600
and we've obviously rebranded to encompass everything, but missionary still

202
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:26,440
is a huge part of our business, so we were

203
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:28,679
very passionate about So we've always done the free missionary gift,

204
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,080
which is a free shirt and free pair of socks,

205
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,320
really to get you in the door, partially, but also

206
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,840
because the real biggest reason for me is that I

207
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:38,279
believe in my stuff so much that I want you

208
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,879
to go home and wash it, wear it, try it,

209
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,519
see what you think about it before you have to

210
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:43,879
make the big decision. Because there's a lot of things

211
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:45,360
going on when you're prepping for your mission, we want

212
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:47,600
to make it as easy as possible. We'll also make

213
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,519
you feel as confident as possible in your decision because

214
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:52,639
we know there's a lot of finances that also go

215
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,679
into funding a mission, and we want you to be

216
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,519
able to make the right decision and know that you're

217
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,360
actually not just getting you know, I always say, like

218
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,440
I can the sweet talking, and I'll keep trying to

219
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,919
do the sweet talking, but let the product of been

220
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:03,519
talking for me.

221
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: So Camp Killani conversation. We're pretty much through Camp Kilani

222
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,080
twenty twenty six. Spring Ball. What questions were answered for

223
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,240
you in this spring football for Ray?

224
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: Which as little as actually gets to come out. I

225
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,919
think the receiver position I was a lot. I'm a

226
00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:25,039
lot more comfortable now than I was before. The before

227
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,320
spring ball started, I was, I was nervous just who

228
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,399
was going to step up. But I think Kyler Casper's

229
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,720
really solidified himself just from you know, you hear in

230
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,320
interviews also to some of the clips that we get

231
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,200
to see. I'm really excited about him and then a

232
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,120
lot of the other guys that we're hearing about. Having

233
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:42,279
guys like Legend come in and start, you know, making

234
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,200
plays early on makes me feel a lot more comfortable

235
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,679
about that position. That was really one of two positions

236
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,480
that I was nervous about. And then bustle behind that

237
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:52,559
was the corners. And I don't know that that's been

238
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,279
short up in my mind yet, but not for lack

239
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,440
of inting and spring. It could have totally been short

240
00:10:57,519 --> 00:10:59,080
up in spring. There's just less talk about it.

241
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, Like I think that's a that's a good

242
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:05,639
breakdown of some of the anxieties that some of the

243
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,039
Cougar fans had leading up to Camp Koalani, especially with

244
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,159
some of the offseason issues and public relations issues that

245
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:17,440
they that they've had to kind of go through, and

246
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,519
even guys graduating, right, guys like Chase Robertson moving on

247
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:25,080
to the NFL the greener pastures of the NFL. Uh.

248
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:28,320
As far as the your offensive line guy, you know,

249
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,440
I feel like we got a little bit more visibility

250
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,360
on who this offensive line unit is going to be

251
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,440
led by. You have Paki Finaw who has solidified himself

252
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,759
at left tackle. You have Bruce Mitchell att center, and

253
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:41,879
Andrew Gentry at right tackle. And then along the guard

254
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,759
line you have a number of guys. Sonny Macassini, Kyle

255
00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:47,360
super Choke are going to be in the mix there.

256
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,960
Trevin Ostler has shown well too, He's gotten reps with

257
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,600
the ones. On the twos, you have Junior Sia. You

258
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120
have Bot Mulatalo. I mean, I know Bots played some

259
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,759
tackle too, but he could also play some guard for you,

260
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:02,200
maybe left guard. He played tackle. I think at Loan Peak.

261
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,960
If I'm not mistaken, you got a lot of talent

262
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,440
competing for time in that guard room is what I'm

263
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,559
getting at. And zach Yambiucci the stafford transfer. You know,

264
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:15,519
do you have a favorite right now to become the

265
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,080
starting guards alongside Bruce Mitchell?

266
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 3: I would say Kyle Safar Choke is obviously one that

267
00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:24,440
I think will end up starting. I think depending on

268
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,600
how I don't know how long term Sunny's Sonny Wakassini's

269
00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:30,879
injury will be. So if he's back full health by

270
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,159
by game one, I would say, just because of his

271
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,399
past experience, he's got a good chance to be that guy.

272
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:39,399
But I really do think a lot of those guys

273
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,240
junior see Zakielomucci. I also think Joe Brown is another

274
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,159
name that could end up doing well there. So I

275
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:49,519
think there's some really good possibilities there. But I think

276
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:51,399
that's a I mean, last year we saw that that

277
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,600
guard position be rotated too. It wasn't nobody started every

278
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,799
single game there, even when they were all healthy. So

279
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,360
I do think we'll be it'll be intriguing to see

280
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,559
if it can to keep that going and keep rotating

281
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,440
this because there's a there's enough talent there that they

282
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,080
just decided to keep that being a rotation.

283
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:09,279
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. A couple of least things before

284
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:11,840
we let you go, Walker Lyons and Roger Sally of

285
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:15,679
Plaga solidifiing themselves as a the two tight end crew,

286
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:18,480
and I expect to see a lot of those guys.

287
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,240
Are you Are you a twelve personnel guy? Have you

288
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:23,080
always been a twelve personnel guy that when you were

289
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,480
growing up A b YU fan, We're always intrigued by

290
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:29,879
the you know, the the the Dennis Pitta, Andrew George Combo,

291
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,600
the Johnny Harlen, dan Coats, Combo, the uh, Thetula me Lee,

292
00:13:34,879 --> 00:13:36,559
Chad Lewis Combo.

293
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,159
Speaker 3: The the Chad that was too the media was a

294
00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:41,559
little before I was like old enough to really know

295
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,840
what was going on. But yes, the Dennis Pitta and

296
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,720
Johnny Harlen, you know, then Andrew George dan Coats, those

297
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:51,320
those both both those eras are eras that I was

298
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,600
big into, and I love that that era of football.

299
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:57,360
I am. However, we're going to move the ball and

300
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,960
score points. I'm an offensive I just love watching off

301
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,480
to the score points. And I think with the tools we

302
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,600
have this year with both Roger and Walker, I am pumped.

303
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,080
I really do think they're going to create a lot

304
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,679
of mismatches. I think the more I hear about Roger,

305
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,480
like every time I hear something's about how he runs

306
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,200
like a receiver but he's big like a tight end,

307
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,919
and you know, they just there's just so much, so

308
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:20,480
many positive works coming out of him. And then how

309
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,879
Walker's doing awesome is blocking and he's always been an

310
00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:26,240
excellent receiver receiving thread also, So I'm really excited. I

311
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,600
think those two are going to create a lot of

312
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,000
mismatches this year, and I think with I think I

313
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:31,840
mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, but I think

314
00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:34,000
you could have some really cool big packages there with

315
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,480
putting them there and then do some twenty two personnel

316
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,840
where you've got Siona, Moa and LJ in the backfield,

317
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,039
and then you've got Bear who's also another power back,

318
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,200
really and you could get a lot of short yarded

319
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,360
situations solved with that.

320
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: So you know, the one that's underrated, in my opinion

321
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,600
is actually Doug Jolly Spencer need in that two thousand

322
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,759
and one season, one of the best offenses in BA

323
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:57,039
football history. Were you a fan then or were too young? Too?

324
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,519
Speaker 3: Six years old in two and one. I've gone back

325
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:05,399
and watched those games and stuff like that, but I

326
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,360
wasn't old enough to be obsessed with it at that point.

327
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,519
Speaker 1: Okay, well we'll let you pass on that one.

328
00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:14,159
Speaker 4: How impactful were the tight ends on Luke's Day's success.

329
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,799
Speaker 1: I mean they were good. Yeah, if you look at

330
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:17,960
the two thousand I mean, both those guys I think

331
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,399
played in the NFL, Doug Jolly and Spencer Ne both

332
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,159
played in the NFL and were contributors on that team.

333
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:28,039
And look, yeah, Luke was definitely the bell of the

334
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:30,080
ball and running the football. He was the Doak Walker

335
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,919
Award winner, but the receiving game with Spencer Need, Spencer

336
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,559
was the number three receiver. If I'm not mistaken on

337
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,720
that team, well let me just double check here, pull

338
00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:45,799
up all of the stats of that team. But yeah,

339
00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,519
I mean he was, they were involved. Doug Jolly was

340
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,080
was tremendous. Doug Jolly was a great receiving tight end

341
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,960
and Spencer Need was a good combo. He was more

342
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,120
the inline guy that could do ball for you.

343
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: I guess because I'm wondering if maybe there's a correlation

344
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:04,039
between b YU great running backs and successful tight ends

345
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:07,080
around the same time. Yeah, so, Reno, I mean, oh

346
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,799
Yeahvey had Dennis Pitta, Andrew George.

347
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 3: I means, you know, Curtis, Johnny and Johnny and Denkoats

348
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,240
were during Curtis's.

349
00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: Time too, Yep, yep. Yeah. So Doug Jolly had thirty

350
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,000
two receptions four to ninety two yards and seven touchdowns.

351
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,600
That's akin to what Carson Ryan had this year. And

352
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:26,240
then Spencer Need coupled that with twenty two receptions two

353
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:28,720
hundred sixty six yards in an additional five touchdowns. So

354
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,960
between the two tight ends. They had twelve receiving uh.

355
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:36,039
And then Gabe Reid also as a third tight end,

356
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,360
Gabe Reed. If you don't know who that Gabriel Reid. Uh,

357
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,559
he was a good player. Uh five receptions, seventy nine

358
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,559
yards and he had an additional three touchdown. So you

359
00:16:43,559 --> 00:16:46,240
look at red zone with a really good running back

360
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:49,639
and good tight ends. All that I mean tight ends

361
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,639
were getting touch tuddies. Dude. They were just catching easy

362
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,440
pas he play action touchdowns from Brandon Doman, an NFL

363
00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,519
quarterback himself. So I'm telling you, like I I hope

364
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:05,880
it becomes a staple for BYU football. Uh. Braidon last

365
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,960

00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:16,599
Speaker 3: So one of the deals we've got going on right

370
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,640
now actually is it's becoming prom seasons. So a lot

371
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,640
of kids getting redict for problem. We've had a little

372
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,400
prom bundle that's a shirt, belt, tie and shoot or sorry,

373
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,839
a suit shirt, belt and tie, and that is for

374
00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:30,440
starting at four hundred dollars. So Honestly, it gets really

375
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:31,839
close to the same price you're gonna pay it for

376
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,920
rental somewhere, but you get to keep it. If you

377
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:36,200
got to keep, have an awesome suit that you can use.

378
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,200
We also do rental, so somebody does want to come

379

00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:43,240
a deal like that, it's hard to pass up on

381
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:44,279
