Speaker 3: Doing very good?

25
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Ben?

26
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,519
Speaker 3: How are you doing. You do a great job at

27
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:08,959
what you do.

28
00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:12,879
Speaker 2: Oh mat dude, Hey, I appreciate that. Bro, Hey much love,

29
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,319
do you know?

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you don't hear that a lot.

31
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:18,120
I mean I might be the only person in the

32
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,040
world to that.

33
00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:24,239
Speaker 4: But well my mom my mom sometimes listened to says

34
00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:26,519
she said, you're Ben, You're so funny, it's so good.

35
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:28,959
I'm like, man, I wish I wish everyone loved me

36
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,319
as much as my mother. Man, I'd be a popular

37
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,519
dude in these parts in Utah County and beyond.

38
00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: He really would, he really would. Bless her heart, bless

39
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:38,959
her all.

40
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,719
Speaker 2: Right, Leah May Webster Cridle.

41
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 4: Hopefully she's tuning in today and she's laughing at all

42
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:46,920
my my force jokes. Well, it's a great day to

43
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,079
be a Cougar. Obviously, Killani gets the extension. All is

44
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:53,280
well in Cougar country. Man, your reaction to the news

45
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,680
that Kilani's uh staying, he's retained and Brian's Santiago Seamer's

46
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,439
Keith Orking, We're able to retain him.

47
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:03,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really big deal. Obviously. I'm you know,

48
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,400
how sad I am for Kilane being a good close

49
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,199
personal friend of mine, and more importantly, it's just so

50
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,120
well deserved. And when you look at what he's done

51
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:17,479
leading the Cougars into the into the Big twelve, that's huge,

52
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,599
and then being as effective as he's been, knocking down

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,840
his rival a couple of times, three times, and you know,

54
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,719
things are rolling really well. I'm really proud of him,

55
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,960
and it just the fan base has to feel amazing

56
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,960
just knowing that that's the leader they have who's committed

57
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,120
really to being here, because I'm telling you, ninety nine

58
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,280
point nine percent of people would be at would be

59
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:43,120
at the other Happy Valley with that type of opportunity

60
00:02:43,159 --> 00:02:45,879
and that type of money. So it is a good

61
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,520
time to be a BAU fan and really happy for

62
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,520
Klonne and his family.

63
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: What's the direction of BAU football right now? Would you say?

64
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,439
Speaker 4: Knowing what you know, seeing what you've seen, the investment,

65
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,599
the momentum, the talent that's gone, I mean, the Provo

66
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:03,199
right now in the twenty twenty sixth class, the commits,

67
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:06,960
the potential signings that could happen as well. We got

68
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,120
a good class here at top twenty class that's brewing

69
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:10,960
in Provo.

70
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: What do you make of it?

71
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:17,879
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what it looks like. The trajectory

72
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,599
is on fire. I think that the players are, you know,

73
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,639
more important than the players are. Kalanie's the guy that

74
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,639
people can really buy into. The players absolutely love him.

75
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,400
And what people don't understand is that's one of the

76
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:33,439
keys of being great head coach, right, is having the

77
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:36,639
respect and the love of your players, because Klanne's not

78
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,000
doing all the x's and o's. He's not the guy

79
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,080
who's coaching the backers or the back end or the

80
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,240
O line. It's he's the guy who who gives brings belief.

81
00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:50,919
The coaches bring technical, technical and game planning, but he

82
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,759
brings the belief. And that's one of the things that

83
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,360
BYU just really really have to be so grateful for

84
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,639
is that Kilanie's the guy who can make kids believe

85
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,199
and uh, and that's that's more than half the battle

86
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,479
in today's game, right. He can bring in portal portal

87
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,080
guys and make them believe and make them buy in

88
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,599
to his culture and what BYU stands for so uh,

89
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,279
the trajectory is, I mean, there's hot as fish reefs.

90
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,560
Fish grease is very hot, right, any type of grease

91
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,279
is hot, and that's how hot b YU is right now.

92
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,120
They're doing great things and I'm interested to see, uh

93
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,959
what else happens. I mean, I think they're going to

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,199
making some pretty aggressive moves. And obviously, you know a

95
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:33,839
lot of people will say what they want to about

96
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,000
the a D. But he's serious about winning. Uh He's

97
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,120
proven that, and uh so it's going to be a

98
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,959
great time to be b YU alumni and also a

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,240
b y U fan. Hoping for the best for those guys.

100
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: No doubt about it.

101
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 4: Will Snowden, owner operator or former by of Alpha Recruits

102
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,160
and former b YU coup were talking to b YU

103
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:00,360
Football in this segment. Right now, you're looking at the

104
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:06,920
twenty twenty six football signings Bob Mulitalo, Brack Harris, Adam Bywater,

105
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,079
Ty Goce Lopetimwala, Jacks Tanner, Terrence Serian Braxton, Lindsay kaway Akana,

106
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:17,519
Legend Glasker, Matthew Mason, Graham, Livingston Parker, Ord sep and

107
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,000
Iah a Latini, Antonio Johnson, Neamiah Cologne, Justice Braithwaite, and

108
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,000
Devon Ekka.

109
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,639
Speaker 2: What do you make of that class? What stands out

110
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,399
to you?

111
00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:30,399
Speaker 4: You know, these guys better than anybody, especially those local guys.

112
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know him very well, so the three that

113
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:37,040
I really really love. But these guys are really closer

114
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,399
guys that I've worked with. But Bot is just gonna

115
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,360
his upside, his ceiling. Man, he can be really really

116
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:49,519
really really really really good. You know, right now, I

117
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:51,959
would project him as a draft pick. He reminds me

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,600
a lot of a guy who transferred back to BYU

119
00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:59,040
who now plays in the NFL. Bot has a lot

120
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,720
of upside. He's physical and he's super athletic, so I

121
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:05,800
think he's there that he's going to be really good

122
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,360
on the offensive line. Legend Glask is an absolute game

123
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:13,720
breaking receiver, probably one of the better receivers that b

124
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,600
YU has ever signed in the last ten years. Out

125
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:20,800
of high school. Legend has a lot of skill. He's long,

126
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:24,759
he's fast, understands the game really well. He can take

127
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:28,160
the top off. So I think Legend is hused. But

128
00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:31,639
I'll be honest, we didn't talk about Rider because it's

129
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:33,439
not one hundred percent of this class with the mission.

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,959
But I'll be honest with you, the most dangerous player

131
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:40,240
in this group, the most electric player in this group,

132
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:43,759
is going to be the Echo Kid. He is a problem.

133
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,920
He can beat you out of the backfield, he can

134
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:48,759
beat you running the ball. He's gonna be one. I

135
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:50,279
have a feeling he's going to be a b YU

136
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:51,639
favor and a b y U great.

137
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,959
Speaker 4: Really I could, like, you know, from a ratings standpoint,

138
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:56,839
he's not the highest rated guy.

139
00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:58,959
Speaker 2: Uh you know, he's actually in.

140
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:02,439
Speaker 4: This class the lowest rated prospect that he signed with

141
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:02,879
the Coogs.

142
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 3: He's the lowest rated cross back. And I'll in my opinion,

143
00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:10,160
is he that he will be a Cougar grade. That's

144
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:12,759
how good the kid is. The rating system is an

145
00:07:12,759 --> 00:07:15,959
interesting system. Obviously, I'm in that system pretty soon. I'm

146
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,560
going to start alpha alpha grading grading process and will

147
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,160
be a little bit more fair because he's an underrated

148
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,279
player and he's perfect for what BAU does. But he

149
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:30,160
can tote the rock and I expect him to play

150
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,279
next year. He will play. He's that good.

151
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:34,879
Speaker 2: Crazy times.

152
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was a report that came out regarding Ryder Lions.

153
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:42,720
This is from Brandon huffan BA for Star committed rider.

154
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Lions unlikely to sign with the Koogs on signing day,

155
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,160
and he did mention though he was going to sign

156
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,720
around this time.

157
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:52,439
Speaker 2: He had tweeted it out a little bit ago.

158
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: What's the latest on rider lines where he stands?

159
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: Just a few things to work out. I'm not going

160
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160
to get too too far into it, but things are fine,

161
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:05,439
perfectly good, nothing to worry about. Just remember it as

162
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,160
the big business and there are just a few things

163
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,399
that that we're just getting fixed and cleaned up and

164
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,000
right hand, some things to do. But I have nothing

165
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
to front about.

166
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:19,519
Speaker 4: So no, nothing to get overly anxious about. He he'll

167
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,160
be signing with b YU today.

168
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:21,879
Speaker 2: You think.

169
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to get into it too much, but

170
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:29,759
I will tell you will Snowden expects writer to sign

171
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:33,000
with b A you today, okay, But I also expect

172
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,000
that the deal will be done fully no later than Friday.

173
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,639
So I'm expecting the signature. Everything looks good and they're

174
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,759
just things that have to be done in this situation.

175
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,159
And I and that's all I'm gonna say. Everything is

176
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,480
good more than good.

177
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is a new era of college

178
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:02,679
college football, right, and you know you have the traditional methodologies.

179
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: Of like letter of intent.

180
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 4: Right, there's a letter intent, there's a commitment, there's like

181
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,600
official offers that go out in the process and then

182
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:14,000
letter of intent that is sent in and then now

183
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:18,000
you also have some contractual obligations that are in place too,

184
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,399
whether if that's to the collective, it's to the school,

185
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,440
and agents and agencies are involved. Like there's a lot

186
00:09:27,519 --> 00:09:29,960
of moving parts here, and it can get pretty complicated.

187
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,639
It can be a pretty complicated process, yes.

188
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: For sure. But but what people need to know is

189
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,320
is Wider Lions wants to be a bay Ukougar. That's

190
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360
why he committed to be by you, and I expect

191
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:46,000
him to be signing his LITTERATIP and we'll see how

192
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,320
it goes. But it's just a big business, and you

193
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320
know how, there's a lot, like you said, that goes

194
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,480
on with this. So no, I do not think anyone

195
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:56,799
needs to be worried that it's not fined yet because

196
00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:58,120
there's a lot that goes into it.

197
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: We got Will Snowden owner Operative Alfred recruits former b

198
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,600
YU football player running back here on your Utah ESPN

199
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,480
radio network.

200
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: You mentioned a few of these guys, right, I.

201
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 4: Talk about former BYU Greats, former BYU Cougar football players,

202
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,440
and I see a few legacy players on this signing sheet.

203
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:22,720
How about Justice Braithwait, what do you know about Rinaldo

204
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:29,279
Braithwaite's young man that he's built there in Gilbert, Arizona.

205
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,039
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I get a tip to talk to

206
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,600
coach Gilfer quite a bit about Renaldo's young boy, and

207
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,320
he's supposed to have all the goods. I'll be honest

208
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:41,200
that I've been all to evaluate him as closely as

209
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,279
some of the kids. But Gennaro has guaranteed me that

210
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,960
he has everything that he's looking for, that they're looking for,

211
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:50,240
and that he's a baller. And I and I want

212
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:53,240
to be clear, I'm not the class is ridiculous. I'm

213
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:56,159
just telling you I'm most high on Eka and that's funny.

214
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,720
He's the lowest rated player I know obviously you have

215
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,559
you have all of these guys out here who are

216
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:04,279
high star rated kids and they can ball, and they

217
00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:07,600
can all ball. My money though, and that's without rder

218
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,639
Lines being signed yet. My money is on that Heka

219
00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:13,240
is going to be a very very very special player

220
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:17,639
in Royal Blue. Very special. I think he I'm trying

221
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:19,559
to think of who I would compare him to. I

222
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:22,600
probably would say he has a little bit of ron

223
00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:25,480
Jacobs in him, a little bit of Ronnie Jenkins in

224
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,759
him and a lot of ron and a lot of

225
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:29,919
Reno Mahi in him.

226
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: I like that combo that sounds like that sounds almost

227
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,279
too good to be true, that that dynamic duo.

228
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: I want you fired up about the kid. I want

229
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,080
I want the state fired up about him. But then

230
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,840
you've got the kid coming down from Saint George, a

231
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:51,000
big special tight end. I mean, I mean, they've got

232
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:53,159
this class is really put together in the top twenty

233
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:53,960
class at BUYU.

234
00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: That says a lot, no doubt about it.

235
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: It's it's obviously trend in the right direction the group. Also,

236
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:07,559
I mean, they've got some good skilled players, right, but

237
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:11,360
you have some you got two four star tight ends.

238
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:14,320
You have Bob Mlitala, who could play on either side

239
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,279
of the ball and be a very effective, very disruptive

240
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,320
whether it's guard or tackle on the offensives side of

241
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,639
the ball, or defensive end or d tackle in the

242
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,799
defense side of the ball. Who's maybe a player locally

243
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:32,639
like I look at Moala for instance, he was tremendous

244
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,279
in the on the back end of the season for

245
00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:39,840
oorum Utah. I think if you haven't watched him Cougarnation,

246
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,759
you got to get to know Mowala, who's really stood

247
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:45,399
out to you? Maybe as from the local prospects. I

248
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,360
know you mentioned Devon, anybody else we can highlight, Well,

249
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:49,759
really I.

250
00:12:49,799 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: Talked about Bot. I've got a chance to watch Bot

251
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:55,320
a lot, right, He's right in my area and and

252
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:57,080
he is a kid, like you said, he could play

253
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,039
either side of the ball. His real money is on

254
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,559
the offensive line. He's like, he's just super physical and

255
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:07,200
moves really well. Uh plays a good pad level and

256
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,360
and getting with TJ. Woods. I mean, it was just

257
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,159
one of the best to do it. He does a

258
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,279
great job up front with the with the old line,

259
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,519
and he's gonna make Bot super special. It's too hard

260
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,919
to really highlight just one of these guys. They're they're

261
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,440
there ranking say at all. These are the best. These

262
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,759
are some of the best prospects in the country. And

263
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:27,360
by us tied them up and and and tied them

264
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,759
up early, did an exceptional job recruiting them. So the

265
00:13:30,799 --> 00:13:33,200
one that I know best is bought in the trench,

266
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,399
and I'm gonna so I'm gonna kind of stick with him.

267
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,159
The young man from Orum, he did he he came

268
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,279
on really strong late. But I have not watched as

269
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,600
much film on him as I have on BOT, So

270
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,399
I want to I want to stay there. Just like

271
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,080
I'm saying as far as the skilled players, I really

272
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:51,240
think that that he can just he has every tool

273
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:54,000
you could look for. And then the Glass kid is

274
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,639
an absolute free I mean, the whole the whole class

275
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,720
offensively is super dangerous. It's gonna be fun to watch.

276
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:01,799
Speaker 2: Well, I want to.

277
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: Get your reaction to the College Football Playoff Committee. BYU's

278
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:07,240
at eleven. They've just been sitting at eleven despite winning

279
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:10,600
and winning I think with some style points as well.

280
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: On the back end of the schedule.

281
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 4: Utah was right behind them and they've won their football games,

282
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,679
but apparently they haven't won by the margin that the

283
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,039
College Football Playoff Committee has wanted.

284
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: And they've moved to number fifteen. Why is it?

285
00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 4: What's your theory on why either BYU Utah the Big

286
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:34,200
twelve is maybe disrespected. Texas Tech is at four, which

287
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,879
is fine. I think everyone you know agrees with maybe

288
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:39,759
their slot. But why is b YU on the outside

289
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:42,480
looking in and why the disrespect for Utah over the

290
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:44,279
last few weeks.

291
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: Well, well, what I'll look at. There's a few things.

292
00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:52,440
Obviously I mean everyone understands that everyone that the most

293
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,759
respected football, the most respected whether it's right or wrong,

294
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,440
is played in the Big ten and the SEC and

295
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,000
then noted by themselves. Right, you have SEC, Big ten,

296
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,399
no to day. So when you when you look at it,

297
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,320
there's just levels to how people see college football. And

298
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,320
another thing is they people don't know this, but I

299
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:16,879
really do think they get involved with certain things like

300
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:20,120
how many stars? What what is what are the recruiting

301
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:23,919
classes that they have brought in over the last three

302
00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:26,759
or four years, what is the star power is? This

303
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:29,879
is just big business. So I think the disrespect comes

304
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:32,000
for the Big twelve because they're not in the Big ten.

305
00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:33,720
It's not the Big it's not the Big ten or

306
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,759
the SEC, but the disrespect for BYU Utah. They can

307
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,519
have a they can be frustrated, but at the end

308
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,240
of the day, you do need to be in the

309
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,720
hunt for a conference championship, particularly if you're not in

310
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,120
the Big ten or the SEC. So I don't feel

311
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:51,279
like the disrespect is the same at Utah. I don't

312
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:53,759
think they're probably the fifteenth ranked team, but at the

313
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,840
end of the day, you've got to win the games

314
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:58,279
and what BYU has done is they've won every game

315
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,200
that's really mattered, whist one to the fourth ranked team

316
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,480
in the country, who arguably could be the best team

317
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,200
in the country, and they get a chance to rematch

318
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,000
them on Saturday. But like I agree with agree with

319
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,039
everyone saying b YU should be in the Big twelve

320
00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:16,120
is a very competitive league with four or five guys,

321
00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:19,440
four or five teams in the top twenty five, It's

322
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,399
it's pretty dang disrespectful. But at the end of the day,

323
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,320
b YU will come out on Saturday, They're gonna give

324
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,080
their best shot. They're going to play tough and regardless

325
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,679
win or lose. By you have to come out and

326
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,679
play tough and show that they really really belong and

327
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,279
they are they and they aren't to be walked over.

328
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,159
And those are the things that they look at, like, hey,

329
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,279
let's look at the at the what are the names

330
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,000
on these rosters that make us say we want them in?

331
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:48,360
And I think that's one of the biggest things that

332
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:50,399
they look at and say, yeah, you know how many

333
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:53,919
draftball guys are on that team. All of those things

334
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,759
are coming into play when they really should not come

335
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:01,279
into play. With chasing championships, with chasing the college football playoffs.

336
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,840
You have a good job to do. Go win games.

337
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,559
Number one, win games, and that's a b Why you

338
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,279
have done nothing but win and they've done it for

339
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:15,240
two years, so the disrespect is really ridiculous. It's all

340
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,000
of a sudden. They had a great year. They're coming

341
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,640
off of they they're coming off of the season that

342
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,240
they won eleven games.

343
00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:21,799
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.

344
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,519
Speaker 4: It's crazy, man, crazy times in the college football chaotic

345
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,440
world that we're living in right now, and still dominoes

346
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,079
are falling. Kind of find it interesting Chris Cleman just

347
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:38,680
stepped down at Kansas State, Heartline gets the job at USF.

348
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think that there's.

349
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: Not that many job openings left for the head coaching vacancies.

350
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,160
Do you foresee any movement on BYU's staff right now?

351
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,880
Kline obviously got the extension that means probably pay raisers

352
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,039
for him, his staff, and obviously his players. Do you

353
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:02,200
feel like the crew, the Cougar crew right now in

354
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,319
Provo stick together through the off season and into twenty

355
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:07,960
twenty six?

356
00:18:12,759 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: There you go, Ben, I know, it's a tough one man.

357
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:19,880
It's a tough one man. I was just thinking about it,

358
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,279
you know what I mean. I was like pondering.

359
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, I want to believe, you know that

360
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,960
the Cougar crew is going to stick together. But with

361
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,359
so much success, it's hard not to be a little

362
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:37,200
bit pessimistic that guys will aspire to new adventures, new challenges,

363
00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:41,519
new positions, and yeah, new opportunities.

364
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: So I don't want to say I don't want to say.

365
00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:48,240
This is not a yes or no question. I'll say this,

366
00:18:48,319 --> 00:18:50,759
I would not be surprised if there was movement on

367
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,920
the staff. Yeah, And I mean that just is what

368
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,640
it is. The state of Utah has very good coaching,

369
00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,440
and it's obvious you have to bringing me in Cougar

370
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,680
that I love it in one playing for a championship

371
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,880
in the University of Utah at ten and two one

372
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,359
game out of the championships. So a lot of that

373
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,039
has to do with coaching, if you so, would I

374
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:16,640
be shocked if the Utah staff was a little different,

375
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,880
I wouldn't. Would I be shocked if the BYU staff

376
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,680
was a little different, Not at all, because there are

377
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:24,960
opportunities out there. There are head coaching jobs out there,

378
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,599
and if you're on it, there's two dcs in this

379
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,279
state who have the ability to be head coaches. One

380
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:33,359
has already proven that it can be a great head coach,

381
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,759
Jay Hill, and so I wouldn't be shocked if there

382
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:40,839
is movement, but my fingers are crossed that there won't be.

383
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:42,799
Speaker 2: Love.

384
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: The breakdown is always alpha recruits. Will snowed in former

385
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:51,759
b YU great, Yes, great, my guy running back and

386
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,720
probably should have played some slot wide receiver in my

387
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,559
opinion too. Could have been really nasty out of that slot,

388
00:19:57,039 --> 00:19:58,680
coming out of the backfield, getting some one on one,

389
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,480
some angles, some obs routes for the Kougs.

390
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,279
Speaker 2: Well that's where fortunate.

391
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 3: Justift real quickly before you say that you got to

392
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,599
go out to tape. I've been in the spot before.

393
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,359
One of the things about Will Snowden, he was far

394
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,759
from a grade. He was a role players great am

395
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,200
the ball he could.

396
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,559
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Bro. I mean, I just I'm

397
00:20:17,599 --> 00:20:18,000
just saying.

398
00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: I'm just saying like I felt like Norm should have

399
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,200
used you a little bit more as well.

400
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: That's the argument I naked.

401
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think I'm gonna give Norm a

402
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,480
call and let him let him know that you backed

403
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,519

YU gets the dub in Arlington?

408
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:47,599
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm not ready to give a score prediction. I'm

409
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,279
going to give you a score prediction, but I don't

410
00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:51,680
