We hope everything is, 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,959 that everything ultimately. 20 00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: Gets judged justly and that we can move forward with 21 00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:17,719 the BYU Basketball season, a big opportunity for this men's 22 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,359 basketball team to prove themselves the dynamic three, the Big 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,159 three of Rob Right, the Third Agent of Bons, and 24 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,319 Richie Saunders. Gotta have a big night. They've been tallying 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,920 I think over seventy percent of their points respective points 26 00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:35,719 on the season, and I imagine tonight will be no different. 27 00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:40,000 BYU Football gonna be taken on TCU tonight. They are 28 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,519 a three and a half point favorite over Unders at 29 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,719 fifty one and a half, so not necessarily a high flying, 30 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:49,439 high scoring game what the prognosticators are predicting, but it 31 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:51,319 should be a good one. If you beat the six 32 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,760 and three TCU horn Frogs, you know, it keeps you, 33 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,879 you know, as the master of your own destiny. 34 00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: You can get to the Big twelve Championship. 35 00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: And you can take on a I believe a very 36 00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:06,239 very very good Texas Tech team once again. And that's 37 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,759 all you want is another chance to face that team 38 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,639 on a neutral field. But you got to take care 39 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,759 of the horn Frogs, who are on a five game 40 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,199 winning streak versus b YU. 41 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: Let's not make it six to discuss this. 42 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,719 Speaker 3: Let's welcome in former BYU great one of the few 43 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,719 the proud wide receivers that actually tallied over a thousand 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,080 yards in a season. 45 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: I think there's only eleven of. 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: Them, So pretty pristine productivity. 47 00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: From this young man once upon a time. Let's welcome 48 00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:34,560 in Reno my height to the show. Reno. How the 49 00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:34,960 heck are you? 50 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,319 Speaker 4: I'm doing great? How you doing Ben? Thanks for having 51 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:38,560 me on. 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 3: I'm doing awesome, man. One of the things that is 53 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:44,759 a product of a double digit win season. I feel 54 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,080 like if we go back in history, I think we 55 00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:51,000 see a couple of things. We see typically like a 56 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,120 really good quarterback, like a professional quarterback, be it the 57 00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:59,039 CFL or eventually the NFL. We see a one thousand 58 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,439 yard received on the roster, and we see our one 59 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,719 thousand yard rusher on the roster. You were part of 60 00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,240 a two thousand and one team that had that. You 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,360 were the receiver and Luke Staley was the Doak Walker 62 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,479 wold what he had like fifteen hundred yards, and you 63 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,039 had a pretty good quarterback in Brandon dombin NFL quarterback. 64 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,840 We see a little bit of that this year in 65 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,280 bear Bachmeyer, like he looks to be possibly an NFL 66 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:25,360 town as a true freshman. One of the best highest, 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,400 greatest high highest graded freshman in the country. You got 68 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,759 Chase Roberts, who's trending to be a thousand yard receiver, 69 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,080 and LJ. Martin a thousand yard rusher. What do you 70 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,080 like about this team? 71 00:03:36,919 --> 00:03:39,159 Speaker 4: Yeah? I you know, it's funny how a lot of 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,360 times we start talking about the yards and the thousand 73 00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,719 yards and this and that and the quarterbacks, and but 74 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,599 I think for the most part, it comes down to 75 00:03:47,639 --> 00:03:51,159 the trenches. And so I think some things that gives 76 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,439 get missed is that those teams had nass the linemen 77 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,479 and then they had d linemen that made plays plays 78 00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,439 the play needed to be made. And so I think 79 00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:06,639 of those teams and I think of the trenches, and 80 00:04:06,759 --> 00:04:09,840 I think of those guys. They we had a lot 81 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:13,439 of guys those years that went on to play playing 82 00:04:13,479 --> 00:04:15,919 the pros, and so it spoke to the talent we had. 83 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh like when we look at the five 84 00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:24,279 game losing Street versus Tshue, we're discussing this with be Low, 85 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,160 it seemed like there was a talent gap. Do you 86 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,680 feel like that talent gap across all positions has been 87 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,879 leveled out? And that's why b Yu's winning at the 88 00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:33,879 rate that they are right. 89 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 4: Now, absolutely, and I think entering into the Big twelve 90 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,040 that's totally helped, without a doubt. And you know, you 91 00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,959 it's funny because you always look at what the comparison 92 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,079 is with the NFL. You you go to your D line, 93 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,120 your O line, and then the corners. You know, we 94 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120 it's so fun to see how awesome Coach Guildford has 95 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,639 done with our corners and how active they are. And 96 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,480 then you know this is you don't talk much about it, 97 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,920 but man, that linebacker course pretty special. So it's pretty 98 00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:12,759 fun to see how the defense is really balling out 99 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,199 out there. 100 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 3: BYU lost to Texas Tech. Uh, and it wasn't pretty. 101 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,920 Everyone was watching game day, was there the national media 102 00:05:24,519 --> 00:05:28,120 because they were evaluating BYU's offense, So like, hey, BA 103 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,079 has no firepower offensively, what do you think about the offense? 104 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,319 Do you think they bounced back tonight? And if so, 105 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:35,800 why do you believe that? 106 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 4: Well, if she watched the game, if you're talking about 107 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,399 three plays that could have really made a big difference 108 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,199 on the momentum of that game. You know, the way 109 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,079 our defense played, holding them the thirteen points and a 110 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:55,240 half with the offense not being as strong. But at 111 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,439 the end of the day that halftime, I believe the 112 00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:01,399 time of possession was even between both teams, and so 113 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,879 the score didn't you know, I think the score had 114 00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:07,240 to do with mostly special teams. I mean, you can 115 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,879 point to three teams, three things the special teams fell 116 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,399 short on the fumbled punt, the bad punt, and then 117 00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:18,480 the missfield goal. But again, those are things that are 118 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,399 uncharacteristics of our special teams, and it's nice to know 119 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,399 you fix a few of those things that I think 120 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,519 the offense gives you a different light and it's a 121 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,360 whole different game. So I'm excited to potentially play them 122 00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:36,240 again if we can take care of business these next 123 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:36,800 three games. 124 00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: Reno Mahe here on ESPN the Fan, Get your prep 125 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,040 getting ready for that b y U TCU matchup tonight 126 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,480 under the lights of Lavelle. 127 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,759 Speaker 1: Everyone hoping the Vampire Kug's show up show out. 128 00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:51,079 Speaker 3: What are you most optimistic about and what are you 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,720 your biggest concern heading into a game like this TCU. 130 00:06:54,519 --> 00:06:56,439 Every one of their games that they've lost this year 131 00:06:56,519 --> 00:06:58,560 have been very close, competitive games. 132 00:06:58,639 --> 00:06:59,879 Speaker 1: Most recently Iowash Stay. 133 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: It was a three point loss So what what's what 134 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,160 are your most optimistic about, and what's uh maybe keep 135 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,639 you up at night prior to kick off. 136 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,439 Speaker 4: I mean one, I'm most see that I can't even 137 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,800 talk right now. I'm excited about the the way the 138 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,360 players looked after that Texas Tech game, Like the confidence 139 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:28,279 they took from that game, regardless of the score. Like 140 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:31,720 our boys know they belonged, and so they just have 141 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:34,560 to take care of business. You got to give respect 142 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,160 to all the different things you still have to play 143 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,439 in these next three weeks. But at the end of 144 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,600 the day, I think the boys are still full of 145 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:43,519 confidence because they've put the work in, and so I'm 146 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,319 super excited for what they still have left the rest 147 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:46,680 of the year. 148 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: Right now, Yeah, I mean you were running back, wide receiver. 149 00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:53,920 You could do you could do both and uh not 150 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,600 many people can say that in BYU football history, even 151 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,199 college football history, that ability is unique. Uh b Yu 152 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,480 has a really good RB one right now in l J. Martin, 153 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,279 we're still in discovery mode as to who can Who's 154 00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:10,439 gonna be RB two. Preston Rex looks to be that 155 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,040 guy as he gets healthier throughout the season. 156 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: Uh. 157 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,399 Speaker 3: We have heard that Logan Pain that legacy player, uh, 158 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,639 the son of Matt Payne, the former by punter, could 159 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,319 be good. We've seen Enoch Nawaheeney out there as well. 160 00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:26,800 Any concerns about establishing the run versus TCU tonight with 161 00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:31,279 l J. Martin still even though he's he's he's playing tonight, 162 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,480 He's had a few Nicks, Deans bruises, upper extremity injuries 163 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:35,919 this season. 164 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a nice thing about getting to just 165 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,759 be a fan and like what I would like to see. 166 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,759 But at the end of the day, I trust what 167 00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:54,200 a Rod and them are doing. And I think our 168 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,159 potential second best, you know, such that we don't have, 169 00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:00,840 but our second best might be our quarterback. I'd love 170 00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:04,799 to see the good old, the old days with going 171 00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:07,320 empty and then when he needs to run, man, let 172 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,559 that big boy number forty seven run the rock. 173 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:15,279 Speaker 3: Hey, he struggled versus Texas Tech, but TCUs defensive front 174 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,440 not nearly as good, not nearly as talent as that 175 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,799 Tech defensive front. 176 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 4: Man that text defense is. I think they could beat 177 00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:31,360 the Jets of the Cleveland Browns that was. That was 178 00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,559 a great team. So I'm looking forward to playing them again. 179 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,440 But no again. Injuries is all part of it, and 180 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:42,159 Aron and then will adjust and you know, at the 181 00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:44,440 end of the day, he's just whoever his number gets called. 182 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,600 You got to go make place. 183 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:47,799 Speaker 1: Injury report. 184 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 5: B YU. 185 00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 3: These are the guys that are out this game. Cody Hagen, 186 00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:54,120 wide receiver. He's also your kickoff return specialists. 187 00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:54,519 Speaker 1: He's out. 188 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,399 Speaker 3: Toddy Prasher's safety, Nickel he's out, Matthias Leech he's a safety. 189 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,200 He's played mostly I think special teams out. And then 190 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:06,559 Marcus McKenzie cornerback. Overall, BYU's pretty healthy, are you? Are 191 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,279 you pretty satisfied with the healthy this BYU football team 192 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,399 all things considered this late in the season. 193 00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think they've done. You know, you start getting 194 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,559 some of that Big twelve funding and you're able to 195 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,320 take care of you know, they're doing some special stuff 196 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,559 with the weight room and the trainers and it's it's 197 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,639 pretty cool to all the different things they're implementing there. 198 00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:35,679 So I mean, you got to tip your hat to 199 00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,440 how hard those boys are working in the offseason and 200 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,480 getting their bodies right. 201 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: Reno mahe former BYU. 202 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,399 Speaker 3: Great talking some BYU Cougar football here as we prep 203 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,879 you for the BYU TCU matchup. Do you feel like, 204 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,960 I mean, BYU has TCU at home since he on 205 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,480 the road, and then UCF at home. If BYU wins 206 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,440 out and they make it to the World Championship game, okay, stay, 207 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,399 we're out. Stay We're out real quick, and and and 208 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:09,399 they and they lose again to Texas Teck. Do you 209 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,960 think b YU gets an at large bid see the 210 00:11:12,039 --> 00:11:15,120 College Football Playoff with two losses to Texas Tech, and 211 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,519 I think tex Tech will be a top five team 212 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,279 at that time for the College Football Playoff Committee. 213 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,039 Speaker 1: Give me your thoughts on that. 214 00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I I could see it, but I that bias 215 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:33,919 up there is so wild man, But I could see it. 216 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,000 I could see them as long as they keep it competitive. 217 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,759 You know, it's it's tough when you're well again. You've 218 00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:45,639 got to win these next three games convincingly. You've got 219 00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:48,600 to get up there. But I think they're in a 220 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:54,679 good position win or lose the that the conference championship game. 221 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,399 I think they have to have a good chance at it. 222 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,000 They just got to just continue to win these next 223 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,000 three and be competitive. Live in that last game. 224 00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: Rino, did you ever play against TCU. If so, what 225 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,519 do you remember about that game. 226 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: I did not I did not play against TCU. 227 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,159 Speaker 1: Okay, so never got the chance to take on the 228 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,039 horn Frogs. 229 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 3: I know you you've probably watched every single b YU 230 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,279 football game and the last five, like five in a row. 231 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: That's a crazy winning streak. 232 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: It's not a b YU Utah modern era winning streak 233 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,200 by any means, but it's been pretty dominant over the 234 00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:33,279 last decade plus. What do you do you think has 235 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,240 changed that gives b YU a great opportunity to win tonight? 236 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: I think but they've always had a great coaching staff 237 00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:46,480 out there at TCU, but that that speed that they're 238 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,879 able to pick up players at CCU, that speed, that's 239 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,960 it's hard to you know, to match up. But the 240 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,399 nice thing is being in the Big twelve now we 241 00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:03,200 we're able to get that speed, especially at that corner position. 242 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,440 So it's it's nice to see that because of that, 243 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,840 we'll be able to compete with the TCU and with 244 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:12,480 that speed. 245 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 3: Reno, my hey, ladies, and gentleal Renal, give me a 246 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,879 score prediction, bo He's a three and a half point 247 00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,879 favorite at home tonight under the lights of Level We 248 00:13:20,919 --> 00:13:24,240 hope the Vampire Kugs show up, show out because when 249 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:27,360 they do, they do well. The twelfth Man hopefully is 250 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,759 rising and shouting and disrupting communication between Hoover and whose 251 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,039 offensive line. 252 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,639 Speaker 1: How do you see this game play? Now, give me 253 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,279 a score prediction. 254 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 4: I ain't going to go thirty one twenty one by 255 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,600 U ten. 256 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: Point victory for the Cougs. 257 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,399 Speaker 3: I think that would be a fantastic bounce back at 258 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,320 home versus a high powered offense limiting them to twenty 259 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,799 one points. I'd love that, and I think that would 260 00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:55,440 actually be in an important step in the right direction 261 00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:57,000 from a public relations standpoint. 262 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: It is on the Mothership. 263 00:13:58,399 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 3: It's a late night kick, so not everyone's going to 264 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,919 be watching it, but everyone's gonna look at the scoreboard. 265 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,279 A two score win over a six and three TCU 266 00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:10,960 team could bode well for BYU.

He's in downhill mode easy, 282 00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:55,399 he's not selling for shots. 283 00:14:55,559 --> 00:14:57,679 Speaker 5: He's in front of his home crowd in Boston. 284 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,519 Speaker 6: He's picked up two thousand on two point guards like 285 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,080 and and we had a guy on the show yesterday. 286 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,639 Speaker 5: We had the voice of the Huskies, Mike, Uh what 287 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,279 is it?

What is it? 289 00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 5: Christiano? 290 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 6: He said, don't put them at the throw line, and 291 00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:14,360 they've already put aging out at the free throw line twice. 292 00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:17,039 Now EDJS is his second miss. He's got to get it. 293 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,399 But that's something you're gonna have to work on. They 294 00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:21,639 give you free shots, but look, you get in foul 295 00:15:21,679 --> 00:15:24,120 troub of a Yukon, that's not gonna help your death. 296 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,559 They'd like to go nine to ten deep Ben, So 297 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,440 we'll see right now. B A up three zero, Mike, Chrispino. 298 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,399 By the ways, Yeah, AJ's got hit from the charity stripe. 299 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,320 He's gonna get fouled all night. He's the ram all night. Then, 300 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:37,639 especially if you're not gonna settle for jumpers and you're 301 00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,399 gonna get foul bin and go there, you gotta make them. 302 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:41,399 Speaker 1: Yep, no doubt about it, dude. 303 00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: They're picking up full court and and I mean they're 304 00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:48,240 running a one to three one right now, full court press. 305 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 5: They just called a foul on Richie Soniz. 306 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,399 Speaker 6: I don't know if I give him that, Like, I 307 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,840 think Yukon's gonna have the advantage in us with that. 308 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,679 But like when you're throwing the ball into the back 309 00:15:56,799 --> 00:15:59,200 court like that, like, I don't know. I don't think 310 00:15:59,200 --> 00:15:59,879 you can call a foul. 311 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: Real quick. 312 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,759 Speaker 3: As we kind of wrap up this segment, I want 313 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,320 to bring in Jared bledshow form a BA wide receiver 314 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,360 real quick, and then we'll welcome in Johnny Harlean. I 315 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:10,919 want to get a little a couple of thoughts from 316 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,559 Jared Bledshoe. Check out this stat Johnny Harlen also coming 317 00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,080 up here shortly in the next ten minutes or so. 318 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: We'll welcome in him in momentarily long term consistency. 319 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: Modern era consistency between BYU football and TCU football compare contrast. 320 00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:33,240 From two thousand to twenty twenty five. BYU has nineteen 321 00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:35,879 winning seasons, ten seasons with ten plus wins and a 322 00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:40,840 bull record of eleven and fourteen. Just even keel, steady 323 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,519 Eddy always win in football games. TCU twenty winning seasons, 324 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:48,440 twelve seasons with ten plus wins, a bull record of 325 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,960 eleven and eight, So a little bit higher ceiling. They 326 00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:52,639 have been able to get over the hump where By 327 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,759 was not. They got the invite to the Big twelve 328 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,919 when BA did not. Utah got the invite to the 329 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,080 Pac twelve when by You did not. Now was that 330 00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:05,720 fair all things considered historically speaking, not only in the 331 00:17:05,799 --> 00:17:09,720 modern erabody, in the prior twenty years from nineteen eighty 332 00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:12,079 to two thousand, No, it wasn't fair. But by you 333 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,160 got the stiff farm. Now's the time to change the tide. 334 00:17:16,519 --> 00:17:20,640 Now's the time to flip the script. BYU should be 335 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,759 in the driver's seat. BYU has competitive nil, BYU has 336 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,200 is resource rich. BYU is now P four affiliated. They 337 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,559 can recruit better athletes, they can invest in their infrastructure. 338 00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: They can invest in their coaching and. 339 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:42,039 Speaker 3: Support staff personnel, and BYU no longer is experiencing a 340 00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:46,640 talent gap. There's a five game winning streak going into 341 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,839 this game for TCU. 342 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: It will not and it shan't be six. 343 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 3: Jared Blechel, former by wide receiver, tell me why it 344 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,000 shan't be six. 345 00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 7: I think the team's ready. I think we learned a 346 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,759 lot from last year having gone through this exact same scenario, 347 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,599 and I know the coaching staff learned a lot, and 348 00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:11,000 there's a lot of motivation. I think we need to 349 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,640 we need we need to earn some more national respect, 350 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,400 and I think the players know that. 351 00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 5: I mean, it's all about winning games. 352 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 7: But now what a day in college football. 353 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,319 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. 354 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,079 Speaker 7: I enjoyed to kind of kick back at home and 355 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,960 watch some games and what a day. But it's it's 356 00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:29,960 time to show out and really put together a full 357 00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:34,079 game where where we just we gel on offense, our 358 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,319 defense continues to make stands, and we need to break 359 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,119 out something in the in the special teams, and I 360 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:40,960 think we're just. 361 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,559 Speaker 1: Brewing for it. You know what what makes you believe? 362 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,039 Speaker 3: Like So for me, biggest question mark is this can 363 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,400 BYU's offense create its own momentum in this game. You're 364 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,359 at home, playing on the lights. It's fifty nine degrees. 365 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,599 It's perfect fall football weather. It's not cold, it's not 366 00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:02,799 too hot. It's literally perfect. You have the competitive advantage 367 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,599 with sixty two thousand fans rising and shouting, Okay, everyone's 368 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,279 gonna be quiet when you're on the field. You're on 369 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,119 your natural grass which you're familiar with, with your cleats 370 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,440 that you know are gonna be a little bit more 371 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:17,880 surefooted on this home field. 372 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: Like, I don't know if you can. 373 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 3: Say in this season that boy's offense has been the 374 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,119 catalyst to the momentum shifts in any one of the games. 375 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:29,759 Speaker 1: No, they haven't. 376 00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 5: They haven't. 377 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,559 Speaker 7: And I agree, and I say all the time, momentum 378 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,599 in these games is everything. And Texas Tech last week, 379 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,200 there were a few times where we started to feel 380 00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:43,880 like the defense has given us the beginning of a momentum, 381 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,640 and then the offense would let down and we wouldn't 382 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,400 get that momentum. 383 00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 5: And I mean you look at you look at the 384 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,640 game today, Uh with I can't even think of it 385 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:54,960 right now. 386 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: That was thirty to zero or thirty thirty, Yeah, thirty 387 00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,599 to three Texas A and M. 388 00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, momentum shift from half one to half to it 389 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,960 was insane, you know, But that amount of momentum B 390 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,480 why you need to momentum we need and and as 391 00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:13,359 I said before, when when a rod gets in rhythm, 392 00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:17,039 it's not on play two or play three, it's four, five, six, 393 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,960 and seven, and we need that momentum moving forward. 394 00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:21,599 Speaker 5: So I have a question for you. Then, Yeah, should 395 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:22,400 they take the ball? 396 00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 6: They're not gonna do this, but I'm just you know, 397 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,319 I like to think that should they take the ball 398 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,759 and go down start the offense there four or five plays, 399 00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:32,640 go to Hollis and air it out and like get 400 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,480 get them in rhythm because it always seems to be 401 00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:36,480 okay and it makes sense right at home. Let your 402 00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:38,759 defense get it. But they've been they've had the slow starts. 403 00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:39,599 Colony can't say. 404 00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 5: That they have they have, So should they do that? 405 00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 7: So that's a great question, and I think there could 406 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:46,519 be some advantage to that. But I understand why we 407 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,480 defer one hundred. Understand what I mean to try to 408 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,160 capitalize on that middle eight. 409 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,279 Speaker 5: Is absolutely that's why you're doing it yet, But it would. 410 00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:56,839 Speaker 7: Be amazing if we were to get the ball first 411 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480 and have our offense put a drive together or or 412 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,640 did get one of those quick hitters, you know, and 413 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,960 get down the field and score quick. Get the momentum, 414 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,920 whether we get it through our offense or get it 415 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,400 through our defense. We need to have a majority of 416 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:13,319 momentum in this game in order to really show that 417 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,480 we are a dominant force in the nation. 418 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: Would love to see it. 419 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 3: And yeah, to Ronnie's point, you wonder, at what point 420 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,559 do you want to hand the baton to the offense 421 00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:28,000 and say, look, go out and score first, and go 422 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,119 out and get us a lead, go out and get 423 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,319 create momentum right off the bat with your script. 424 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 7: It'd be great. But I think we know our we 425 00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:38,559 kind of know our place with our team, and I 426 00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,799 think the coaches know that the opportunity to get a 427 00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:46,400 big three and out to start the game is likely, 428 00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:49,519 you know, not to say that the offense can't go score, 429 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:52,319 but if we're trying to gain momentum at the beginning 430 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,920 of the game, our defense will more than likely give 431 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,039 us that opportunity. And but this is a great TCU team. 432 00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,960 These guys could throw the ball, you know, and now 433 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,880 we've got a secondary that Ken lock down uh and 434 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,960 plays really well, hits real hard. But and generally when 435 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,200 our secondary is in sync, we get sacks because you know, 436 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,759 Jack Kelly and Isaiah Glasyer just find a way to 437 00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:19,480 get to the quarterback. Uh, when when our dbs are 438 00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:23,279 locking everybody down. So there's it's an exciting game. I'm 439 00:22:23,319 --> 00:22:25,519 really excited for this one. It's been a great day 440 00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:28,920 of college football. And you know, let's let's see what 441 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,839 we do off of this loss last week. And I 442 00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:35,079 feel like this team is mature enough and we have 443 00:22:35,279 --> 00:22:38,240 enough athletes and the coaches learned what they needed to 444 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,359 learn last year from this same situation where where things 445 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:41,920 will be different. 446 00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:47,519 Speaker 3: Injury report, Cody Hagen is out, Tommy prash hushes out, Uh, 447 00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:49,559 you know, and he's been out for a while now. 448 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a red shirt. 449 00:22:50,759 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 4: Yeah. 450 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,519 Speaker 5: Per J Hilly, I think you said this week. 451 00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Matthias Leech, Marcus McKenzie overall pretty healthy. Mcpercells back 452 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,119 this week as well. It looks like big well. And 453 00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:04,640 what's interesting about this is is Justin Kirkland is not 454 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,839 listed here, but he's not on the depth. 455 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 7: Charge well, because so they were saying this past week 456 00:23:09,279 --> 00:23:10,680 that it looks like they're gonna redshirt him. 457 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,519 Speaker 5: He's one of those guys. 458 00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: But he's not out. He's not out, he's available, available. 459 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:19,799 Speaker 5: I think he's got one more game. 460 00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: So what that tells me? Let me tell you, this 461 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:22,359 is what he tells me. 462 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 3: Sure, he may not be in in the best shape 463 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,480 in order to make the best impact. And they're like, Okay, 464 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:33,240 well we need a developmental year because other guys within 465 00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:34,599 the two d are playing better than Yeah. 466 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,519 Speaker 7: Well, and I think too that he with his injury 467 00:23:36,519 --> 00:23:38,359 at the beginning of the season. Yeah, kind of throw 468 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,839 the beginning of the year off. The guy's a beast, 469 00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:43,359 you know, and he's he's going to be a great player. 470 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,119 But yeah, we we have some really good d linemen 471 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,920 that have really stepped up this year. And uh so, 472 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:51,720 I think that's more of a business, long term decision, 473 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:53,759 and I think it's a good one probably for him too, 474 00:23:54,039 --> 00:23:56,440 so he can put a full year together being fully healthy. 475 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,519 But yeah, that's a that's that's a good point. 476 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,039 Speaker 3: You could be seeing number seventy two and number ninety 477 00:24:02,079 --> 00:24:03,920 nine a little bit more of this game too. Kalfusi 478 00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:09,039 Kofe the Weaver states transfer and then Ulavai Fittulli six 479 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,279 seventy five pounds freshmen that could be seeing some reps 480 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:13,839 as well. 481 00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:15,599 Speaker 1: On that into your defensive line. 482 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,279 Speaker 3: So see young bucks maybe getting some reps because Anissi 483 00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:21,160 has been kind of he's due to his injury, he's 484 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,279 probably been limited. Sure, So these are the guys that 485 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,000 have been getting those second games, the the guys that. 486 00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 7: Still have four games left to continue their entert you know, 487 00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:31,640 because they haven't played much. 488 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 4: And so. 489 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 7: Gosh, I look back to our years at what a 490 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,680 cool concept, you know, covers it was one play in 491 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:41,200 and yeah, the petition to get your year back, you know, 492 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,200 and it was a mess. And so it's a pretty 493 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,799 cool thing that the NCAA is doing some good things 494 00:24:46,839 --> 00:24:49,319 with that. But yeah, it'll be it'll be good to 495 00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:50,960 see some of these fresh guys. But we just got 496 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:52,559 to get up. We gotta get up and then we 497 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:54,599 can get some of these guys in for their four 498 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,079 games and give them some real game time, you know, 499 00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:01,240 provo night atmosphere experience, because you know, you get you 500 00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:03,920 could get a half a quarter in as a freshman, 501 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,000 and you're you're gaining just a ton of experience out 502 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:07,599 there last. 503 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 3: Week versus Texas Tech. The special teams unit was bad. 504 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:13,200 They need to be much better tonight. The offense was bad. 505 00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:15,359 They need to be much better tonight. Who's your WY 506 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,960 factor from a personnel standpoint, offensively, defensively and shoot even 507 00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:26,359 special teams wise. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean, 508 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,920 Because like LJ had ten carries last week, Like I'm 509 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:29,480 looking at LJ. 510 00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 5: I'm like, look, we. 511 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 3: Need LJ to be healthy, strong, fleet of foot, fast 512 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,920 and physical, like they need him to be LJ RB 513 00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:42,720 one one thousand yard running back LJ and run with 514 00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:46,440 some ferocity and physicality and and and and and and 515 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:49,440 also be a three down back like yeah, be on 516 00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:51,839 the field pass pro and catch the ball to backfield 517 00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:54,160 when dumped down and make a guy miss an open field, Like, 518 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,680 we need twenty plus touches from LJ, whether it's run 519 00:25:58,519 --> 00:26:02,039 or a combination of and pass situations. 520 00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:06,039 Speaker 7: So I think for for the on the offensive side, 521 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,759 Chase for Roberts, we we need Chase to be chased 522 00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:14,720 make the plays. I was saying last week that diving play, 523 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,680 you know, hit him, hit him in the hands. Tough 524 00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:17,119 catch he. 525 00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 3: Had, but if you if you count ball on the hands, 526 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,160 and it's kind of gripped for a moment. 527 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:27,279 Speaker 1: He dropped three. Yeah, tough, big, tough catch. 528 00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 7: Big players need to make big plays in big games, 529 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,599 and that was what I'm so I expect him to 530 00:26:31,599 --> 00:26:34,079 come out that. That's if Chase has a big game 531 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,519 to night over one hundred yards gets a touchdown, we're 532 00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:41,000 in good shape. My defensive wife actors raider DEMONI really 533 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,400 and the reason is that the way that this offense 534 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:47,359 throws the ball, so you've got your corners are gonna 535 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,759 lock down. I think where we're vulnerable and where we 536 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,519 showed vulnerability last week was across the middle, the short 537 00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:56,799 across the middle plays where we kind of got picked off. 538 00:26:56,839 --> 00:26:59,240 So I think, and you could also call it fall 539 00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,799 of Towe to also be in that wife factor, but 540 00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:04,319 I think Raider be in the back. Raider phils holes fast, 541 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,880 he hits hard, but we're going to have to defend 542 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,920 the pass really well.

As everybody 570 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,960 kind of knows, Sunny Dikes and b AU TCU head 571 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,720 coach Sunny Diykes is familiar obviously with bau's football program. 572 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,599 They had that twenty twenty twenty three matchup in the 573 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:32,039 Big twelve and then Christian Stewart and the Bau Cougars 574 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,000 ended up out dueling Jared Goff of the cal Bears 575 00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:40,440 at the time in twenty fourteen shootout forty two to 576 00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:43,640 thirty five. So he's well familiar with BYU. It's brand 577 00:28:44,119 --> 00:28:47,960 BAU competing as a ranked team. Check this out BYU 578 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,119 is all time. So when they're in the top twenty five, 579 00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:57,240 they're thirty four and ten under coach Kalani Satake thirty 580 00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:00,480 four and ten when playing as a ranked team, So 581 00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:03,319 hopefully they they went out tonight. 582 00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:08,839 Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I'm looking at a like a thirty one 583 00:29:09,079 --> 00:29:12,640 twenty one BYU win. But my expectation is that we 584 00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:15,400 get momentum and we score more points than that. And 585 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,960 I just think that they're gonna score. They have a 586 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,240 potent offense, but we I just feel like our momentum 587 00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:24,880 on offense is gonna start clicking. We're gonna be able 588 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,480 to put together some drives and being at home always helps. 589 00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 3: Do you think this is going to be a sold 590 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,160 out crowding buy that. I know that it's a sold 591 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,759 out crowd. Yeah, but you think we fill the seats tonight, like. 592 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,599 Speaker 5: This is the most this is November and it's almost 593 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,920 sixty degrees right now, Like this should. 594 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:49,039 Speaker 1: Be a full sellout, right, yes, yes, okay, but will 595 00:29:49,119 --> 00:29:52,319 we fill the seats?
