the guy that's gonna take care of you as Jared Bletsoe,
the former BYUI receiver. He's been helping the football players
and the basketball players deck out the Riots. He can
help you as well. I have him in studio with me.
The wife was really happy, thank you for taking care
of the car yesterday, and she just wouldn't stop raving
about it. She loves she's like this tennis so nice.
Oh my goodness, you know it even smells good, it
looks great.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: She's like, I wish we had a better car for
him to even look better. She was loving out, so
she was really thrilled with everything.
Speaker 2: So well, like I was telling you, mana wait, wait
until the summer comes in and he hot sun is
blasting through the windows and she feels that the heat
rejection with that ceramic tint. So now I'm super happy
to do it for you and your family. And and yeah,
we we appreciate the shout up for sure.
Speaker 1: Of course, Hey guys, this is this is one of
the best places. When I walked inside of the office,
friendly was greeted, uh, and I know places you talk
ball it which is good to talk life. It's good
to talk life, you know. Honestly with Jake and other people.
Men gave some great advice about him and his wife
having to buy a house. It was good to talk man.
I was like, man, he's got some good people. And so,
like I said yesterday, I was like Jared, I was like,
great person, great individual. So it all adds up, you know,
and you get the best quality service and you're gonna
feel well. I feel like family. Honestly, when I walked.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that we try to make it not like
your typical car shop, you know, so when you walk in,
it's not meant to feel like a car shop. It's
meant to field more homie and and uh. And I
have a great staff. Jacob and Jaden are wonderful and
they work hard and and they do a really really
good job. And so yeah, we're yeah, we're happy with
how things going. We'd love to have you guys come
in and give us an opportunity or in your business here, you.
Speaker 1: Got to give the an opportunity to earn your your
business at Utah Protective Films. Let's get right into it, though.
Let's start with the with the first thing, the news
from yesterday. You know, I received the text message, you know,
saying that you have to take the respect you know. Yeah, yeah,
who said that you have to take the take their respect?
And I agree with you, you know, you're the one
that sit that message. But by U versus R to
day in the home at home, I think this is
the way b why you gets into the college man.
Speaker 2: I mean, the reality of college football is you have
these the one side saying, well, they're gonna punish you
for a bad loss or a good law. Let's say
what they call it good life good loss. There's no
good loss loss. A win is a win, there's not
a bad win, and there's not a good loss in
my opinion. Now, you got one side that's saying, let's
schedule an easy out of conference schedule so that we
don't worry about having that loss. I disagree with it.
I think you want to prove that you should be
in the playoffs. Then play the teams and beat the
teams and make yourself very very very apparent that you
should be in the playoffs. And that's what I think
this Notre Dame game gives BYU. And it puts us
in a spot where, yeah, we beat Notre Dame and
we play out and went out in our schedule and
maybe come with one loss in the season. It puts
us in a really good spot. You know. I think
we have an opportunity with the players that we have
and with who I feel like is coming back, that
we are going to have a great opportunity to have
another great season next year.
Speaker 1: I think they can not even think. I'm very confident
that they can be noted down. I believe this is
going to be a non conference game. I believe it's
going to be played in September because they canceled the
whole October seventeenth is what I saw. Oh that's what
you saw. Okay, I didn't see. Okay, so October seventeenth, which.
Speaker 2: Is replacing the game, the game the Cow game.
Speaker 1: So the Cow had a home and home cancel.
Speaker 2: I don't know where I read October seventy, but I
saw them leave everything I see online and.
Speaker 1: If verywell could be you know, but this is important
because you know, the college football Playoff Committee, I think
their meetings still during that time. He might be that
might be a little bit before, actually a couple of
weeks before, but it's still good to get that on
your resume.
Speaker 2: And we have some great games ahead of that, you know,
with the baby in the Big twelve. So we were Arizona,
Arizona State, Iowa State, and we've got a good, good
schedule coming in next year. That that uh, some great opportunities.
So hey, I wanted to I wanted to say something.
So Ben decided to use one of my quotes on
his Instagram. Oh no, so I'm not wanting to sit
back and start responding, but I did a little bit,
and you know, I'll tell the people that I responded
to that that I probably erased a response like six
or seven times before I made it nice and casual
and uh. But but I will say this, A lot
of the a lot of the complaints are on there
is that our A Rod stuff, right, and so I'd
want to address it just for one minute, and all
I want to say, and and some of the comments
were he's so predictable. I'm sitting on my couch and
I'm I.
Speaker 1: Don't don't, don't get me started started.
Speaker 2: I can guess the play before it comes. So let
me tell you this. There is absolutely no way the
national attention would have been on a Rod and put
him as a finalist for the Coordinator of the Year
if that was the truth. And anyway, I'm going to
leave it at that because I don't want to get
into anymore, but I do want to. I want to
put some focus on somebody who doesn't get it quite
as much at b YU, who kind of runs in
the back, behind the scenes, behind the scenes, should be
in the front, forefront with what we've produced over the
last two years. So last year, b why you had
the best recruiting class ever? Yeah? Last year? This year,
we all did that recruiting class. It's true again, do
you know who stands behind that department, who runs that.
Speaker 1: Department trying to think of director recruiting. Brandon Browley. I
think that's part of Anna No, no, okay, keep going okay,
keep going. No, not Mike Hall.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think goodness, gracious and it should be
in the fourth Jason Anderson, Justin Anderson wrong. So Justin,
I appreciate it. You having to figure it out about
the game should be in the forefront. When you talk
to Staki, you talk a Rod, you talk Jay Hill,
you talk to coordinators. You should be talking about Justin Anderson.
Of what Justin Anderson.
Speaker 2: Justin Justin is the recruiting coordinator from UYU, which means
everything that we do trying to get guys here, what
it takes to get a rioter, lions here, to get
these big recruits here. The effort that goes into it
is is something that nobody really understand. It's not a
coach visit. It's not just one business. It's not now
Colonia will make his visits and and and whatnot. But
Justin on the back end is doing everything to bring
these players here and not just not just your recruits
from high school, but it's also your transfer portal guys. Everything,
it's not only that at your NFL scouts that are
coming our meeting with Justin, he takes everything. So I
just want to bring it to the forefront that there's
a guy in the back that most of you don't see.
You may see him on the sideline. He is a
nice shiny head like me. Right, And I don't want
to give you some background about Justin Anderson, So Justin. So,
I've known Justin since and since ninety six at Rick's College, right,
and we we've we've got it. We've definitely stayed in contact.
I've had his kids, taught him out a surf down
in southern California when they were down at one point.
Justin has been around football for a long time, for
his whole life. Right, Not only that, but but Justin
as a I just want to show you a little
bit about where he came from so some people can
understand who we got. So not only did he play
for BYU, but just to kind of run through his background,
he was an Orum high school standout, so he also coached.
He was an assistant coach for Nicols State where he
was a passing game coordinator, NFL is on Wide Receivers
coach and tight ends coach twenty ten to twenty fifteen.
Then at Virginia he was with a player personnel, and
then East Carolina short stint player personnel, and then BYU
as the director of recruiting. And I don't think enough
gets put on a recognition for him to be in
the finalist for the Recruiter of the Year, and how
big that is just as a rod being in the
finalist as a coordinator of the Year. We need to
give him his props and his attention because he deserves
it and super proud of what he's been able to
do in the recruiting side of things. And I just
want everyone to know who that guy is, Justin Anderson,
and we need to know him and we need to
thank him for his hard work and his whole team.
Speaker 1: He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Communications from
BYU in two thousand and two and the Masters as
well in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: Check us out.
Speaker 1: You listened to experience acquire top available talent anaser each
position group.
Speaker 2: And you know what I would do. I would put
Justin over to run and do some stuff with the receivers.
You already have him on staff. Justin was one of
the fastest dudes I've ever played ball with. You know,
him and his brother some of the fastest receivers at
BYU when when they played. And he knows football, he
knows wide receivers. Let him go in there and help
Festi on that side. He was a passing game coordinator
inter at nicol State. Like, let him kind of get
in there and mix it up a little. In the
coaching side of it. I think that that would be
a benefit to have a Division one wide receiver going
in there and helping Festy with some of the wide receivers.
I think it'd be a great idea.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's especially been a point of topic because
you know people, the discussion from US and fans has been, okay,
do you bring in you know, analysts offensively has been
Gary Anderson's helping j Hill there. That's been a discussion,
hudas you know, a bringing and I've had to shut
some fans down because like, oh, you know, bringing Max Hall,
bringing time Den. It's like, when you're playing at the
P four level, you're looking for you're going to bring
in the guy. They need to be proven and have experience. Sure,
and it's people that's been on the staff maybe too longer.
You need the experience doesn't matter, right you, I mean
you do cars. You want someone that knows. It's not
that you can't teach someone to it, but it takes time.
When you're already moving fast in had you want to
keep that transition and we will stay here.
Speaker 2: You want to keep rolling, You don't want to You
don't have a setback, slowed things down. It's who can
help speed things up absolutely make things better.
Speaker 1: And he's got the resume where he's already sped up
and you know, so I like that. Actually I didn't
think about that. You know, he has played football, he's
had multiple stops. It's a guy that you know kind
of gets overshadowed and mean to bring the up to
is dropped by Pete dam I think late last week.
But Matt Mitchell, you know, going to Colorado State now
another guy has been successfully helpful.
Speaker 2: Yet we are going to have some coaching changes over
the next few years because you can't do as well
as we're doing and not have guys get promoted and
opportunities because you only have so many opportunities for promotion
within the team itself. So when people are looking to advance,
if there's not a spot at BYU too advance, they
are going to get recruited out. We'll not recruited, but
they're going to get picked up by another school and
and opportunity. So there's going to be some change over
the next few years. I think, yeah, but yeah, we'll
see how it goes.
Speaker 1: I always say, you know, I people got mad with me.
I said to j Hill over Unders two and a half.
That's what I said, you never know, And I mean, look,
I'll just be honest and Frank, if if Wick gets
the Michigan job, that's a guy that's going to get
going to get poached. Not sayings gonna leave, but I
think I think how.
Speaker 2: I've kind of had some conversations with some people and
and I don't think Jay Hill will leave unless he's
going to a head coaching position that he really wants
to be at. I think he is in a good
spot right now. But I do think that if the
right job comes, it's he's not leaving to go be
a coordinator for anybody. I don't that's my personal opinion.
I think that when it's time for him to go.
If he's not, he's not the head coach at b
YU at that point, he will be the head coach
at a big power for university in my opinion, like
he is, and that's where he should be. Jay's j
is Is he a scalley that will sit back and
wait that long? I don't know. I don't know. I
I know Jay's comfortable, and I mean Jay's from Lehigh,
you know, I mean, how do you have a whole
staff of either guys that played at b YU or
grew up under the shadow of b YU, right, which
is pretty cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't know how you you have
that at all? When when you look at that, So
it definitely of that. This is always a good topic
of discussion because that's been ho If Heicagos in Michigan
be what you staff, they're gonna get poached. So I'm
glad that you bring it up and shed that light
on that because that's something I've worried about.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 1: Look like I know he wants to be a coach,
like would you leave meol be more worried.
Speaker 2: For him taking people from the Utah Staffy Scaley should
be worried as well. But I was say talking winning
him you know I I you hear him talk he
wanted to play another year, coach another year at Utah,
got pushed out and when when he makes his comment,
I didn't want to overstay my welcome and maybe I
have to some people it's like, Okay, that's a direct comment,
you know. And and somebody took that literal.
Speaker 1: Who they be talking about.
Speaker 2: Who knows right? But uh, you know, And it could
be on the other hand, that Scaley was ready to
go like, look, if I'm not going to be the
head coacher, I'm getting offers to be a head coach.
Speaker 1: And they don't want that, which and they be detrimental
to their program. Maybe maybe maybe what I mean I'll.
Speaker 2: Tell you it is. Watching the last couple of games
on Scaley's defense, I was not impressed by four or
five hundred yards by teams that we're not having a
year that that warranton.
Speaker 1: Running right up.
Speaker 2: So anyways, we'll see how they how they fare, you know,
and how their their deal works up. But uh, yeah,
it would be my ideal. It would be Klane get
on the phone with with coach Whittingham and just say, hey,
how about we win a national championship here at you're
Alma monor remember remember that school you played for. Let's
come up here and let's let's put a team together together,
and let's go dominate. Give them a couple of years,
give me a year or two. I want to go.
Speaker 1: I would love that. That would be so much out
of spite for those of North that would.
Speaker 2: I was talking that was at a Christmas party on
Saturday nights and and one of some of the guys
there are just die hard Utah fans. Then I have
a fun time with them, and and I brought that
up and they said, oh, he'd have to he'd have
to hire security. I said, does that not tell you
enough about your fan base right there? That you just
what you just said about the coach you've been there
twenty one years, that that there'd be people after him.
That's crazy. Yeah, what's sad? What a fan base? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, he went to Utah and there were by
fans that beloved him. They were still fans that talk
to like, how do you get how do we get
him home round? I'm like, I don't know, you're asking
the wrong person, Like he's beloved to b A. He's
going to be in the Utah Hall of Fame and
the b y U Hall of Fame Athletics Hall of
Fame specifically. But yeah, you're right. It's interesting the fan
base when you talk to them and they's just the betrayal,
like they just how they act. It's so interesting. I
feel bad for my brother in law that he graduated
from the JOSE so bad.
Speaker 2: I always yeah, I mean, I'm I'm at the point nowadays.
I used to want him to lose every game. I
just want him to win every I want all of
our conference teams to win every game except one. You know.
I want the same for Utah. I want him to win.
There are times when I watch the game and I think,
maybe maybe I want him to lose this one.
Speaker 1: But sometimes sometimes when it comes to the tie break scenarios,
you want to lose. You're rooting from because it looks
better for the resumes, it looks good to wig got it.
Speaker 2: So what do you think about this week? What do
you think of George Tech? So you're going to the game.
I'm going to the game. I was gonna ask you
scout a report.
Speaker 1: What you see? How can bou from the receiver standpoint
attack Offensively, Brandon Gurney, who you've met, said that he
feels Chase Roberts can have the two hundred yard game,
that it's possible. We still don't know if you know
LJ is gonna play, who's gonna opt out? You know
other people? So you know, you just if it's if
he doesn't, right, you're wondering, Okay, how does that affect
the offense? How does that affect you know, the run game? Bear?
Is he going to be one hundred percent?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think Bear, I you know, yeah, I offensively,
I'm sure that we're going to find out some more
things about who's going to be playing and not playing
over the next few days, and definitely not for me
to to put out there, but I I think that
Georgia Tech is very good. I'm more interested in seeing
how our secondary plays against this. The quarterback and receivers
that Georgia Tech has, they're they're very good. Yeah, so
it'll be interesting to see. I think that Byu is
gonna be out to do the same thing we did
last year with Colorado and really put a lot into
this game and make it like that's what's cool with
byu is this Bowl game is a big deal, like
it is. We that we made a statement last year
with Colorado and this year we need to do it
again with the Georgia Tech and it'll it'll launch us
into a good position going into next year. And I
think we retain a lot of players that might a
few years ago have opted for the NFL. I think
that the opportunity to make money in college nowadays is
is just such a big difference where you have the opportunity.
And this is just me as a player perspective too.
Is your opportunity to be the big fish and little
pond right next year, be the senior, be the top
of the NCAA, be the top of your conference or
the top headline everything and getting paid well. Or you
can go into the draft and be a sixth seventh
round draft pick you hope, right, maybe fifth, but then
you still gotta earn those spots and you still got
to go make that team. And now you're the little
fish in a big pond. Enjoy the time you have
in college because now you get paid, right, you probably
get paid about the same thing, dude, That's the crazy part.
Speaker 1: And then at the fifth and sixth round, you might
not be value.
Speaker 2: You're making enough money, and go take that insurance policy
out so that if you do get hurt there there
you're you're in good standing as well. But enjoy your
time in college. It goes once it's gone. Once you
make that leap, it can't go back, you know. And
so if they're financially if BYU is gonna take care
of you, go enjoy that time. Get your brothers together,
pull a couple of these guys off the portal that
we need, and let's go win a national championship. Because
if we pull this team together and we keep the
guys here, and then we we get maybe a couple
of standout receivers to come in, maybe some of the
freshmen coming in take some of those roles. We get
a couple of the linebackers coming in to kind of
mix it up. I mean, we would have, you know,
maybe another backup for for for bear. I'm not to
say that the backups aren't great, but you know, I
wouldn't mind see another one too.
Speaker 1: You're at the point where if you look at the
programs that are committee scate committee competing for national championships,
they got back up four stars. They got back up.
That's just that's just the nature of that. So I
don't disagree with.
Speaker 2: You, grab Hammond. So when I heard that the cincinnadi
quarterback was looking at transferring and he's talking about Texas
tack right, talk about I'm done. I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be the red shirt sophomore be Utah.
We had the lead an Arizona State game, y'all lost
in the defense and I took the leader, got the
two point conversion, and you're gonna and you're gonna bring
it a different guy. Yeah, oh no, the third strings
is here too. I'm supposed to be the future.
Speaker 2: But it'd be hard. It'd be hard to bring him.
Speaker 1: The thing is like to sit behind Bear because he's
not going to be bear out and it's tough. That's
tough because that's a hard one. That's our one because
he can rip the ball. This is where he can
throw man. So that's a tough one because you're like, oh,
do I want Bear, Do I want Will? I want both?
I like Will him and I like Bear Bachmeyer. So
that's a good discussion. But you bring up a good point.
Backups if somebody does go down, because let's be honest,
if you have will in that game, you pull Bear
after maybe the first play, you throw Well out and
you start slinging it like, I don't think you just
agree with that. I think I think they're more prone
to do that, like, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I don't feel like, like, especially when Barrett was
hurt in the Texas Tech game and the Championship game,
I don't feel like the confidence was there that we
could bring in one of our backups and he could
do better than an injured Bear. And I know people
want to say, oh, yeah, you could have put man
against out front seven and having not played a snap, real.
Speaker 1: Real snap pretty much all season, the speed of that
you folded and maybe you know as I like I've
been saying to I.
Speaker 2: Don't even know if he could see over those guys.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately he's not even just him. If you bring
in the guy after him or the other the freshman day,
it's it's tough. It'd been tough, that's the thing. But
I like your point of that, But no, you bring
it up a good point. Do these senior guys that
could does and and obviously when you look at the roster,
looking at it by merit right, l J. Martina Glavasa,
come back. You mentioned guys in the porters, the Texas
linebacker on the portal, they just got a.
Speaker 2: Texas do you see the guys in the portal and
Oregon got I mean, we've got great corners. But maybe
bringing that guy, you don't have to run the Nickel
package as much if you feel Tommy can go back
to safety and players true positions.
Speaker 1: And he is he is, so you know he is.
Speaker 2: He and so so is the Texas linebacker. Heyations man,
and they have very tight connections with players. Yes, they
played in high school together.
Speaker 1: We played in high school because like we played in
Texas together. The wells, oh you left to go to
b y. You look this one to just tell people
it's the holiday season. The Porters will give it. It's
gonna take it the way you're gonna have a Harrison
Tager to Quila Marrin. Unfortunately, we just have to say,
I hope that I'm wrong, but look, that's just the way.
Speaker 2: I don't see it yet. That's the thing with by You.
Speaker 1: Remember those happen after spring, but that didn't happen after
the season.
Speaker 2: It did, it did, and that uh, yeah, we'll see
let's see I think.
Speaker 1: Round the play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm super excited for Boots. You know, let's go,
let's go free smoke.
Speaker 1: I'll get you out of a smoking Miami. Miami was
turned up, they had screensaving. I heard what he said.
That's the type of energy.
Speaker 2: They win the next game. I might, I might make
my way down to Phoenix.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm talking about if they beat Ohio, I'm join you.
I'm not even kidd like you beat Ohio State with
what they have offensively and how great that defensive line
is supposed to be. If if Carson back does that
with Malachai Tony, with with Keelan, if they're but to
do that, I'm gonna have to join you down. I'll
get you out here on this. Let's talk wide receivers.
You're losing three of your top pass catchers. Who's in Carson, Ryan,
Chase Roberts. They're out of eligibility and you could potentially
lose l J.
Speaker 2: Martin.
Speaker 1: We don't know yet, but probably not right from you
know what I've heard. I think that's that. I'm rescinding
that more and more every day. But you know, let's
still you never know. If you don't know right, let's
just say you could. But who do you go bringing.
Obviously got Jared Puola coming, and you got Terrence Sarrion,
Lemson Wallace hit the portal, Don McKenzie has it would
be tough for Domin to play. I think you're kind
of sad a little bit about Lamson is like, oh
the talent he was dinged up though he struggled being injured.
But you're bringing Jaron who's proven. You saw what he
did this past season. I think he is the day
one impact player. Terrence Sarrin I think is a Day
one impact player. He can play, and you know, you
get PK back and then you know, I've heard rumblins
about maybe you know, b Yu's looking at a big
time receiver from another conference.
Speaker 2: To bring in. Well, I think we did. We need one.
We need one. We need some running backs as well
to kind of fill that room.
Speaker 1: Yep, you know, and it does come back. You gotv E,
So you need still two more.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, Yeah, So I think that there are
definitely some areas that we could fill. It's going to
take some effort. Justin Anderson's going after him. Man, We'll
see what they bring in. I mean we still class
ever for b YU and I feel like the portal
guys that we get are going to be key role guys.
We're not just looking to sign portal guys and bring
more people on the team. It's like key roles that
these guys can fill in or actually come in I'm sorry,
not fill in, but come in and compete with who
we have here now, you know, as I think we
have some good guys that are going to step into
some roles that have kind of not had that opportunities yet.
But yeah, the receivers, it'll be it'll be easy to
see what the freshman can do. But up of that,
I do feel like we could use a couple of
solid transfers.
Speaker 1: To they're going to go get a guy or two.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we might get there's there's this
Lions guy down in USC that we might.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's just Lions. I forgot about that. I
receive it. But he might as well be one for
crying loud with how he runs routes. Of my goodness,
if you watch the tape, he's nice, he's a tight end,
but oh man, you put him in a slider just
it just might be that.
Speaker 2: You know, the Lions brothers and the and the Bachmeyer brothers.
Speaker 1: Hey look, hey, look, I'm okay with uh, you know, lions,
tigers and bears. I'll just say that, I'm okay with
all of it. Give me all the animals out there
in the safari. Hey, look, at the end of the day,
I would love to see a bear to a bear
to lion action. I love to see that the in zone.
I'll just say this and I'll get your take on this.
I was very declared about this. People gave me major pushback.
I said, if Walker comes to b Yu, which I
think he, I will just have to wait, wait for
everything to see and get worked out. If that's the case,
I think it's Isaac Rex, you know, two point zero.
I think it's the red zone thread of where when
you get inside twenty yards in Yeah, he's the main target.
Speaker 2: Well, it's the before injury Isaac, right, Isaac difficulties after
he was a he was a mod star. Yeah, coming in.
So if you get a tight end with big body
who can block and he can run routes and catch
with his hands, you know, it's great. So that that's
a wrinkle that that that a rod needs in his
offense with what we do and he would be great. Yeah.
So I think we're looking really good. I mean, you
look back at the season now and it's like we
had a great year. Great year. It's great that we
still have expectations of being even better. But it's coming,
you know what. We keep pushing, we keep working hard
and scheduling Notre Dame is a is a big one
because yes, for getting that deal done and and so
that that's gonna be a big game. And I agree
we should wear the pop Tarts helmets for that game.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, just yeah, yesterday. Something's like the pop
Tart t helmet should always Robbie Macone's that game.
Speaker 2: Well, where the Poplars jersey.
Speaker 1: Look look, look, look, I'm all about to smoke. As
as someone having played rugby, being petty playing pick up basketball,
still being competitive petty with my friends. I support it. Yeah, well,
pop Tarts helmet within the jerseys and then go out
there and busting you know what, Well.
Speaker 2: It'll be fine. Yeah. I think I think it's going
to be a close game.
Speaker 1: I think so as well. Text good team.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be like a twenty twenty four
that game of course, I expect by you to win,
But yeah, I think it's going to be a battle.
Definitely be a battle.
Speaker 1: I think this game is going to help, uh, definitely
that recruiting on the East Coast to this game. It's
gonna be a very big time view game. You wish
it was Notre Dame so you could spanking into that
bud and all your Notre Dame players. I'm sure that
you're listening to this. I hope you're enjoying your week
when you could have been enjoying.
Speaker 2: Your bowl week week week.
Speaker 1: Festivities at festivities are nice. They're going on all the
parts man like.
Speaker 2: Others, and it's the stuff you get to do with
your teammates. It's the memories. You're gonna make a Notre
Dame sold out and their seniors don't get that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I get to talk to you, talk to
Ben Brett. Like if you were to tell me, hey,
you guys get to take five days us all of
the sponsors can go and we get to like go
to enjoy the Atlanta Resort, I wouldn't say no to that, Like, no,
I'm opt out.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like I'll never get to play another
football game again.
Speaker 1: Yes, my last one.
Speaker 2: I don't want to play in the bowl game.
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's crazy. The only thing I'll give
Jeremiah respect for is if the Kansas City Chiefs draft
them and Andy regets the running back, that's.
Speaker 2: Well he may have opted I mean, well he might
if they would have been the probably would opted out anyway.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but anyway, well, Jared, before I'll let you go,
