00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Fan, this is something special for you. It's time for

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:15,759
Cougar Sports, part of Utah's ESPN Radio Network. Here's your host, Credible.

3
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: Sports fan. I've had broadcast Brulo Road Hall here at Midvale, Utah.

4
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,759
Just the season to be given.

5
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,679
Speaker 3: Because we have been given much, we two must give.

6
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:38,439
The Road Home has always been giving back to the

7
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,320
families here in the Wasatch Front, in our communities. They've

8
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:43,560
been doing it for a long time. Last year, the

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,039
Road Home served over eight thousand people across its shelter

10
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:48,200
and housing programs, including two thousand children.

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: If you have the means, let's give, whether it's.

12
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: In uh uh in in nonperishable food items or lightly

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,520

00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:02,360
a week took Christmas?

58
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:04,759
Speaker 2: Is it one week? It is one week till Christmas?

59
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:05,240
One week?

60
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 5: So this is the last time of the year that

61
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:10,199
I will be on airs, like going on a cruise

62
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,520
right after Christmas.

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,039
Speaker 2: By the way, Puerto Rican. Okay, so it should be good.

64
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,599
Speaker 5: You didn't get the honeymoon because we had to go

65
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,360
back to school and got married on November.

66
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: So finally get into it. What was the marriage date?

67
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 6: Again?

68
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: I think it's November first. You think, now, yeah, I.

69
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 5: Gotta say, I think because my wife isn't here to

70
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:34,080
tell me, you know otherwise exactly.

71
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, you better get that dialed in. You better know

72
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,520
that the wedding I do know is November. Say it was?

73
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: It was the bye we get a note in your

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,439
phone and put all the important page. So this is

75
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:45,840
a note to all the all the individuals that are

76
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,360
listening that are not wedded yet or they are recently married.

77
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,280
The quickest way to anger your wife is to not

78
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:59,159
know dates. Not know the date, uh well, marriage date, birthdays,

79
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:03,520
first day first that, yeah, I mean that helps that.

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,280
That's a good one, the birthdays of your children, all

81
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:09,039
those things, because then they just think you don't care.

82
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: You don't care. I do care, But if you care,

83
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:21,759
AP the dates eleven am on the dot? On the dot?

84
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:22,839
Am I wrong?

85
00:04:23,079 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: Ronald the three man Weaver, You got to know the dates.

86
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,480
If you don't know the dates, they think like, oh,

87
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,120
you don't care. You don't love me as much as

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:29,639
I love you.

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: This is very true.

90
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,399
Speaker 6: AP.

91
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: If you are confused, I can always help you. You got

92
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,439
married November first, during the bye week because you said

93
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,399
you would not get married in a b what you footbugging,

94
00:04:39,439 --> 00:04:41,439
which I respect, but I just want to let you

95
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:43,240
know you got to remember certain things like that the

96
00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:44,120
Crittal birthday.

97
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,879
Speaker 2: You know, Rodnie turned you to yourself up just a

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,399
little bit.

99
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 4: Oh go more smiking. Okay, a little bit, ok a

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,959
little bit, Okay. I don't want to kill the the

101
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,959
ear drums, but no, yeah, look, you gotta remember December twentieth.

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,639
Gotta remember that date, never will forget it. Gotta remember

103
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,000
August fifteenth, right, that's when even when I propose, because

104
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,279
that's what the that's what the ladies do. They pull

105
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,360
these weird stats out to you. And I have a

106
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:06,399
list on my phone of like, well do you remember

107
00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:08,800
at the exact time I went into labor? Like you know,

108
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,399
they're like, my wife will do stuff like that. So

109
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:12,839
I have all of that written down, Ben, And she

110
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,439
already knows she can't pull one over on me. So

111
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,160
I agree, ap, get a list, bro get it, get

112
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:21,519
the birthday, everything, those other things. Trust me, remember when

113
00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:23,560
you thought you were right, Get all of it down

114
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:25,680
so that way, you know, I'll get all of it

115
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,720
down that way when you mess up. If you even

116
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:29,959
if you don't clean the house. You know you have

117
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,680
the dates of like, yes, I was wrong here, dear,

118
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,160
you are right.

119
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,959
Speaker 5: It's like how we have that random stat of where

120
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,759
we were when such an absolutely happened.

121
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: For by A football they have it all down for

122
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:41,000
the relationship.

123
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,879
Speaker 3: Well, we got a lot of UA football content to

124
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,160
get to here with ap and Ronald the Freeman Weaver

125
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,079
by my side.

126
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:47,759
Speaker 2: So keep it.

127
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: We're gonna keep it in lock. We're keeping loaded full

128
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,040
of information. We're gonna get a Collinie Chataki addressed the

129
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,439
media yesterday, read between the lines here and then nitty

130
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,160
gritty also David Nixon joining us at three thirty former

131
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:02,680
b YU great talking some BYU football, the transfer portal,

132
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:07,120
the potential attrition and acquisitions.

133
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:08,879
Speaker 2: Via the portal. BYU go into a bowl game.

134
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: It's a rarity for BYU in the modern era to

135
00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:17,040
go against a ranked foe in their bowl games. And

136
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,839
now we've had now two consecutive years where you've gotten

137
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,480
a ranked opponent. I believe if I'm not mistaken, like

138
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,519
if I look at all the bowl games, like one

139
00:06:27,519 --> 00:06:30,439
of the last times that we had this opportunity was

140
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,639
like Oregon State and nine in the Vegas Ball and

141
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,319
you played Jaquiz Rogers, a great running back in his

142
00:06:37,399 --> 00:06:41,240
brother Corey, great wide receiver. They were talented, they were good,

143
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,600
they were well coached. Coach Riley legendary coach in college

144
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,600
football in my mind. Out you know, he coached there

145
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:49,920
for a long time in Corvalle's before moving on to

146
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:52,759
Wisconsin and then just you know, it was not the

147
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,519
best move in my opinion, but he got a payday.

148
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:58,439
Sometimes a payday is is great for retirement, if you know.

149
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:00,759
Speaker 2: What I mean. But it hasn't happened all that often.

150
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: You get in a huge opportunity, and I would make

151
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,560
the argument that this Georgia Tech team is actually better

152
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,079
than that Colorado team last year.

153
00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:09,399
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like that.

154
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: This Georgia Tech team at twenty two is better than

155
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:14,120
Colorado was last year.

156
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,199
Speaker 2: I believe that wholeheartedly.

157
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,879
Speaker 5: I I one thousand percent agree they are more well rounded.

158
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,319
It's not just two players, although I gotta make the

159
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,000
case here Haines King is the best quarterback BYU's played

160
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:26,360
this year.

161
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's another hot take.

162
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:30,319
Speaker 3: So not always saying like you know, this is a

163
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
maybe a better ranked opponent than BYU has faced in

164
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720
the modern era, right, I'd even say, hey, that that

165
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Oregon State team was good. I think this Georgia Tech

166
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,480
team's better. And I think the Georgia Tech team's better

167
00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:43,639
than the Colorado team. You're saying this year. Looking at

168
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,519
all the quarters, we faced some great quarterback We face

169
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,439
some good quarterbacks, some of the best in college football.

170
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:53,319
Speaker 2: But I think Haines King is the best. I really do.

171
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,120
I think he's really really good.

172
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: You better come with some objective data with PFF and

173
00:07:57,879 --> 00:07:59,600
QBR and quarterback efficiency.

174
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 5: Then how many quarterbacks that we faced finished in the

175
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,000
in the Heisman voting?

176
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:06,319
Speaker 6: I don't know.

177
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,959
Speaker 2: I don't think any ero zero. Ainsking was tenth. Okay,

178
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
so Haines was right there, I mean the top ten.

179
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, top ten player in college football according to the

180
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Heisman voting.

181
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, which I don't always trust.

182
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I need Look, I'm a I'm a committee guy.

183
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,399
But it can only be weighted fifty percent. So you

184
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,360
better give me some objective data points shit for you. Yeah,

185
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:31,800
I need more data, So give the data.

186
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: Eye test. No, I don't.

187
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: I don't trust any human eye test unless I'm like

188
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:39,120
Cougar Board. I only trust my own cogar. I only

189
00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:42,480
trust my own eye test unless why I love Cougar Nation,

190
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:47,799
Cougar Board, Cougar fans. They they'll they'll listen to the media.

191
00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:49,799
They're like, yeah, but I don't trust them fully. I

192
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,159
gotta go see with my own eye. So they go

193
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,399
down there with their Cougar Club membership. They flash the badge,

194
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,200
they flash the card, you know, and then they go

195
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,960
into the the uh, the screw Imitch, the fall Camp

196
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,519
scrimmage of the spreenship. He's like, all right, I'm gonna

00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:04,840
see all conclude.

198
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,799
Speaker 2: So I need a little bit of both.

199
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,639
Speaker 3: I need the human element the committee, and I need

200
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:11,480
the PFF. I need the QBR, I need the qback

201
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,000
efficiency rating as well. So, uh but a couple of

202
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:15,960

230
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: So we'll get into a few soundbites here from Kalani Satake.

231
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,919
You're not gonna want to miss this. As he addressed

232
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:58,759
the media, yesterday. Kalani is in a great mood right now.

233
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:01,320
Why is it in a good mood because BYU, its

234
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:07,399
donor base, its corporate sponsorships, ponied up and decided we

235
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,399
want Kilani as at our as our football ambassador. We

236
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,559
want you Kilani to be our guy for the foreseeable future.

237
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,120
We want to make you the Polynesian level.

238
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 6: Right.

239
00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:21,919
Speaker 3: That's what happened. That's what occurred, and it was a

240
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,799
glorious day. It took a little bit of leverage to

241
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:26,679
get it done. You had to have a Penn State

242
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:30,679
offer of over eleven million per year and unlimited nil

243
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:34,000
resources and YadA, YadA, YadA. But we got it done.

244
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,200
So he's in a good mood and he's optimistic and

245
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,440
he's positive. Let's listen in. As Kilani Satake addressed the

246
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:49,960
media yesterday, I don't I don't see I see Kevin Young,

247
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,720
I see I see Kevin Yach. Okay, how do you

248
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:57,080
feel practices have gone in preparation for the Bowl game?

249
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 6: I think practice has gone really well.

250
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:06,279
Speaker 8: We need them for the development part of our players

251
00:12:06,279 --> 00:12:08,000
and then getting some live work, you know at the

252
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,799
end of practice.

253
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,759
Speaker 6: We got that done today and it was good. It

254
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,519
was kind of a good precursor to.

255
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 8: What we're seeing spring ball, probably, and I like the

256
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:18,799
guys being able to, you know, just get as many

257
00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:19,720
practices as we can.

258
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,279
Speaker 6: Obviously there's things that we can still improve on. So

259
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:23,799
it's all part of the work and.

260
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 8: I'm thankful that we have the extra work to get

261
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:26,559
it done.

262
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,519
Speaker 6: So it was nice.

263
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: So typically, you know, people wonder, Okay, how many practices

264
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,159
can you get in? I mean, you have a maximum

265
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,840
amount of practice you can get in. I think it's

266
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:40,679
roughly about fifteen practices. You don't always take up all

267
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,080
those practices, though, more often than not you get about

268
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,159
ten of those practices in from what I've seen and

269
00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:47,960
what I've heard, and then you do a lot of

270
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,200
walkthroughs in film work and stuff like that. You're still

271
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,000
trying to maintain health while providing experience for the backups.

272
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: What backups right now? Would you say? Which roster players

273
00:12:59,559 --> 00:12:59,879
right now?

274
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,919
Speaker 3: Wow need a little bit more development to become stars

275
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,279
or playmakers next year?

276
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 6: Right?

277
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: You know?

278
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:11,799
Speaker 3: I look at last year for instance, like okay, which

279
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:16,919
players got practices during the during Bowl preparation prior to

280
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,200
the Alamo bole that ended up showing up showing out

281
00:13:21,399 --> 00:13:24,320
this year, right. I think John tom Waypey was a

282
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,039
great example of a guy that got reps. You know,

283
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,080
he did play some lady, but he got significant reps.

284
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:34,519
He had accelerated reps and accelerated development, and we saw

285
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,720
what he did this year as the little silver Bat

286
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:41,159
guerrilla next to Chiano Tanavasa, Papa Bear, next Toime that

287
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,759
three tech and one tech. They were phenomenal this year.

288
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,600
That's one example that I think. I think as KALFUSI

289
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,279
got a lot of reps last year too, and we've

290
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,919
seen more of him this year. He became more of

291
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,879
a prominent player for b Y and I expect him

292
00:13:53,919 --> 00:13:56,399
to be maybe a star next year. But those are

293
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:58,039
a few of the guys that I thought, okay, they

294
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,159
they developed during that those bull practices and got more reps.

295
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,000
And uh, I think even Trey Alexander too, Yeah, you know,

296
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:09,399
Trey Alexander was another one that really accelerated his development

297
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:12,759
through the Bowl week and into spring ball, et cetera.

298
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:14,960
So that those are the guys that I look at

299
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,200
and like, Okay, who's the next guy who's going to

300
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:20,960
be the next man up to develop and get more reps?

301
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: This week?

302
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,279
Speaker 3: And leading up to Bowl Bowl, this Bowl game versus

303
00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:25,799
Georgia Tech.

304
00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think another player to add to the

305
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,519
list of players I want to see this year.

306
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,559
Speaker 2: I want to.

307
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: See someone like Siona Moa, just because I know he

308
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:37,840
would have contributed this year, but he didn't because he

309
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,080
was hurt and so he's had a lot of time

310
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,440
to sit on the sidelines watch He's watched a lot

311
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,399
of tape, but he hasn't been able to do a

312
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,960
whole lot due to his injury.

313
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: I want to see him get some reps.

314
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 5: I want to see him play in the Bowl Game

315
00:14:49,559 --> 00:14:51,879
because there's a real chance we don't have LJ.

316
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: Martin next year. He could go to the NFL.

317
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,279
Speaker 5: That's a real possibility for him, and I'm not sure

318
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:01,240
where he's leaning, and so you need someone like to develop.

319
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,759
We probably need some guys to come in via the

320
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:07,320
transfer portal because there's not a whole lot behind l J.

321
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: Martin and that I.

322
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,759
Speaker 5: Really trust to be guys that are top level contributors

323
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:14,840
in the Big twelve.

324
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:15,279
Speaker 6: Yep.

325
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: And then I want to I want to see someone

326
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,519
like Taan Nkua because you're gonna lose Chase Roberts. You

327
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,720
I don't know what's gonna go on in the in

328
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:26,320
the wide receiver room through the off season. I want

329
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:29,440
someone like Tanakua to come in, get some get some reps,

330
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080
get some development, because there's a lot of question marks

331
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,600
behind Parker Kingston where that wide receiver room is next year.

332
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:39,159
Speaker 2: I like the Tanakua Teke.

333
00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:44,879
Speaker 3: We've seen some flashes of potential in springball, in fall

334
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,960
camp and and these opportunities, and you know, I think,

335
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,879
you know, maybe had a few injuries here and there.

336
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:54,399
You see two guys Letation Waller and uh and and

337
00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:58,399
dom Mackenzie Lee. Okay, so now we okay, who's gonna

338
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,799
be that next guy, that next man up? And you

339
00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:02,919
expect it to be Tatakua because of the last name

340
00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:07,000
of the Kua. Now then Akua name as is being

341
00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:09,440
had for good and evil in the world's been in the.

342
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,679
Speaker 2: News in the last couple of days.

343
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: It's like when you're talking statistics, uh, I mean, Pooka's

344
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,000
taken over the NFL as the number one receiver. He's

345
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:21,720
the best receiver in in the National Football League.

346
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: Gotten it a little bit of trouble.

347
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: Apparently this is an ignorant thing like Pooka Nakua is

348
00:16:28,159 --> 00:16:28,639
a vibe.

349
00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: By the way, Pookaakua. Everyone loves Pooka kakula.

350
00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: Uh. He's just He's a guy that that you gravitate

351
00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:37,879
towards because of the positive energy, because of the smile,

352
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,519
because of.

353
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: The he's a vibe. He's fun to be around.

354
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: He's fun to be around, and like, he would never

355
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:47,039
do anything like that that would be offensive. Like I

356
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:50,039
think there were some hecklers saying like go Ravens. He's

357
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,879
like Ravens suck, you know, like, you know, just having

358
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:57,159
fun with it. He hops on to podcasts and he

359
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,039
talks about takes shots at like refs and how refs

360
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:04,200
are are ego driven and maybe even a little bit narcissistic.

361
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,279
They say they have their text threats like hey did

362
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:07,880
you see what I did? You see that call I made?

363
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,200
Amongst their friends. They take pride in that whatever, you know,

364
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:13,839
taking shots there. Well, recently he was on a podcast

365
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:18,039
who this podcast, I'm not familiar with this particular podcast,

366
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,799
but apparently it's a Jewish male that runs it and

367
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,000
is interviewing him and tells Puka that he needs to

368
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:29,720
do this little anti Semitic dance. The guy's Jewish and

369
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,039
he's telling him to do some sort of anti Semitic dance,

370
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,079
and so now Pooka, after he does it ignorantly, has

371
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,599
to go on to social media and apologize to everybody

372
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:41,079
because he didn't know it was an anti Semitic dance.

373
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,880
But the Jewish guy was the one teaching him, and like,

374
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,920
I don't know what the equivalency would be.

375
00:17:46,039 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: Got to be careful where you get your advice from.

376
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,359
You know, it's like, you.

377
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 3: Know, it's like me like teaching people, say yeah, leading

378
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,079
the charge at at at Cincinnati, saying f the Mormons,

379
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,200
you know what I mean, Like, what are you doing?

380
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:01,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're doing it. Anyway, he had to go to

381
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,039
social media apologize.

382
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,519
Speaker 3: Thank goodness, we're not in like cancel culture anymore, like

383
00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:08,599
where this guy would get rapedol the coals and everyone

384
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:08,880
just back.

385
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: He's uh, he's so immoral.

386
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:16,039
Speaker 3: He should never play another down in the National Football League.

387
00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:20,519
He should donate to anti semitic or to to pro

388
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:24,920
Semitic UH organizations. Take all that money, by the way,

389
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,000
he's not making that much, maybe a million, and he

390
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,920
takes home because of taxes in California.

391
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 2: Never live in California, don't live in California. It's a mess,

392
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:37,039
uh fifty place you'll lose because you don't make any money.

393
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 3: Like the taxes are so freaking high. He always coming.

394
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,279
He's only he's a rookie. He's leading there.

395
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: Not a rookie.

396
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,279
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's he's on his rookie contract and

397
00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:49,039
he's only gonna take home four to eighty thousand dollars and.

398
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:51,559
Speaker 2: He's a sixth round rookie deal. He is the number

399
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,519
he's the number one wide receiver of the NFL.

400
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:57,039
Speaker 3: That that's this is this is the thing. Life is

401
00:18:57,079 --> 00:19:00,759
not fair, right, nor is the NFL apparently so uh,

402
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,119
he'd be making Puka Nakua would be making more money

403
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,920
as a college football player had he stayed in college,

404
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,519
like I'm telling you he's stayed in college rather than

405
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:14,119
been drafted.

406
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: He'd be making more.

407
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:19,079
Speaker 3: Money at BYU than in the NFL because he'd be

408
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,559
an independent contractor nine ten nine to nine employee that

409
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,519
would not be taxed up front. And if he had

410
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:29,160
a good financial planner wealth advisor like vander Wealth and

411
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:34,119
a good CPA, he's he's got some tax smart wealth advantages,

412
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,519
he'd probably be making more money as a college football

413
00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:40,519
player had he continued to play and and and uh,

414
00:19:41,039 --> 00:19:43,920
you know, exhausted his eligibility.

415
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: Right, So anyway, that's a sad day. It's just said. Anyway,

416
00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:50,160
I'm going around in circles here.

417
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: Samson Kua also got a rested for stealing a Los

418
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:58,160
Angeles Laker basketball player is suv. Apparently they valid it

419
00:19:58,519 --> 00:20:03,319
at the hotel and it was it was not. Uh,

420
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,480
I guess permission was not given to take the suv.

421
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:11,880
So I I hope Tayana Kuwa is not in the

422
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,160
news for bad stuff.

423
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: I hope he's in the news for good stuff. Learn

424
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,920
learn from the stakes of his older brothers.

425
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gotta be careful, right, you gotta be careful now.

426
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,440
Pooka's was out of ignorance like that.

427
00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: Dude's a vibe. He would never do anything.

428
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: I don't think that would be yeah, accidental if you

429
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,000
view the video.

430
00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: He was kind of set up. He was set up here.

431
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,920
So anyways, state goodness, we're not in cancel clock.

432
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,839
Speaker 4: That would be like me, as a brother been setting

433
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,720
up one of my would that'd be like me as

434
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,119
a brother set up my brother in to make you know,

435
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,839
maybe a brother joke or maybe brother's terms on here

436
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:44,519
and I bring that up.

437
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:48,079
Speaker 5: There are certain brother words that I could use that

438
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,759
you set up your Brotherreo for can't can't, can't do that.

439
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:51,559
Speaker 4: I think that's bad.

440
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:53,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can't do that, man.

441
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: You know So anyway, that's kind of what I'm looking

442
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,880
at with these bowl practices.

443
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: These man, that's my pick. I like that. It's a

444
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,119
great pick.

445
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,799
Speaker 3: Reggie Frishnet is a guy that that balled out at

446
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,799
Snow for a season, goes to Weaver. He's way too

447
00:21:08,839 --> 00:21:11,599
good to be at Weber and so he transfers to Byu.

448
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,119
So Reggie uh is a is A is a target.

449
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:21,359
I think you're it's a great take, great size, great speed.

450
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,000
He's gonna be a good one. He's like I think

451
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,480
he's a more explosive. Chase Roberts is how I would

452
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:32,039
describe him right now. Faster, top top end speed, so

453
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,440
Chase can stress the field. There's no doubt. But I

454
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,119
love Chase actually in the slot. Love him in the slot,

455
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,319
kind of like a Neil Powell.

456
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.

457
00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 3: I like him out of the slot, big body, he

458
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,079
can play on the outside, There's no doubt. But I

459
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,039
like him as a slot guy at the next level,

460
00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:50,960
even like look at Pooka. Pooka's playing the slot in

461
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:55,440
the NFL, big body possession receiver. That that can get

462
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:59,480
you if you don't have a matchup a good matchup

463
00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:02,720
on him, because he accelerates so quickly, he'll get behind you,

464
00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:05,039
stack you stack the route, meaning he'll get up on

465
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:07,359
top of the dB in those first ten yards and

466
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,319
then you're done. You're done because he's gonna kind of

467
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:10,680
break away because he's so strong.

468
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: That kick. You guys have never had it.

469
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,519
Speaker 3: I don't know if you covered anybody, but if you

470
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:16,880
if someone if a wide receiver stacks you and that

471
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:20,160
and that cleat comes into your shin, you're done.

472
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: You're done. You know.

473
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,519
Speaker 3: It's like it's like when you're riding the bike when

474
00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:25,960
you're younger and you have like the metal pedals, you

475
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,039
know what I'm talking about, and you slip and.

476
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,799
Speaker 2: He goes right into the shin. It's just like that.

477
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,920
The abrasion, the blood, the bruising. You just let you're done. Yeah,

478
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:34,039
you go.

479
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,079
Speaker 3: It's it's an open wound and you're just done. Anyway,

480
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,400
let's get back to Kialaani sound here and the Nady Gritty,

481
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,839

Speaker 8: I think these guys love football, so I mean they're

487
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,400
they're excited to play the game, and they're excited that

488
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:54,599
we extended the season. And then we have a chance

489
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,480
to do with the seniors again and we have to

490
00:22:56,519 --> 00:22:58,440
go to Orlando and have fun there. But at the

491
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,000
same time, we know we're going there for a game

492
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:02,519
and sold these guys are. These guys are focused, and

493
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,519
I feel good about other preparation.

494
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:05,839
Speaker 6: I think they'll be ready by the time we get

495
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:06,440
there next week.

496
00:23:08,039 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 3: Locked in, baby, locked and loaded. And that's what you

497
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,680
expect them to say. That's you know, it was like,

498
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,519
that's coach speak. Are they really locked in? Or some

499
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,799
of these guys flirtations of the transfer portal? Are some

500
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,720
of these guys uh negotiating their contract?

501
00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: Because now it's the contract contract season.

502
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: It's contract season where you're renewing contracts or entering the portal,

503
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,480
so you're going in your negotiating with the GM.

504
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: Can we talk about how dumb it is to see

505
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,279
these graphics from various universities saying resigned resigned.

506
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,839
Speaker 2: A player, like are you kidding?

507
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: But that's what's happening, though, Hey, that's what happening, And

508
00:23:39,839 --> 00:23:45,160
they're utilizing as a as a positive public relations moves, like, hey,

509
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,279
we retained our guy, we got our guy, we got

510
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:48,920
our quarterback, we got a running back, we got a

511
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,920
wide receiver, we retained him. Like it's it's just the

512
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,319
calendars off, right, But in this particular, in this particular situation,

513
00:23:58,039 --> 00:23:59,799
I mean, I understand there's a little bit of a

514
00:23:59,799 --> 00:24:02,240
down time with finals and all that stuff, so they're

515
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:05,039
negotiating all this leading up to Bowl week, which for.

516
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:09,039
Speaker 5: Me, it's I don't see it as a positive pr thing.

517
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,920
It's like, yeah, we we are not a strong enough

518
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,279
brand that we couldn't keep our guy without Well, that's

519
00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:16,319
more money at him.

520
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 2: That's what it says to me. Signed, that's what resigned

521
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,480
says to me. That's the thing. Value.

522
00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: Your value goes up or down depending on how you

523
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,400
produce and how healthy you are.

524
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that's the issue.

525
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 5: With just I'm okay with upping the salary and everything,

526
00:24:31,519 --> 00:24:34,559
but to make it a big social media deal that hey,

527
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:37,200
we we had to resign our guy or he was

528
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,559
gone is a little interesting to me.

529
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fine with it. I'll be on it. I

530
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,680
understand where you're coming from. It's a new era.

531
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 3: Everyone's struggling to like like the optics of it, right

532
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,440
because like we're kind of I'm saying, you're just saying,

533
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,359
like the optics are stupid, Like what.

534
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: Are they doing?

535
00:24:56,279 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 3: Resign and they're promoting it. I'm like, this is the

536
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,519
world we'll live in. That's the competition you're in in

537
00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:04,000
that day, that week, and the competition is.

538
00:25:05,559 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: It's like we get excited.

539
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,759
Speaker 3: If you're a b YU fan, you're getting excited that

540
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:12,920
a Texas running or Texas linebacker is in the portal

541
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,039
portal and he's looking for ANIL deal and Texas said, nah,

542
00:25:16,039 --> 00:25:19,599
we're good. You know, you're like, yeah, huzzah, he had

543
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,119
an offer from BYU, let's go get him.

544
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:24,039
Speaker 2: Uh And then if it's your own.

545
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:25,319
Speaker 3: Guys like, oh yeah, we didn't want to pay for

546
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,960
him anyways, like Crew Wakeley A, we didn't want to

547
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,759
pay for him anyways.

548
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,599
Speaker 2: He was overpriced. Go to Purdue, you.

549
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 3: Know, Keeling your overpriced, good to Miami whatever, You're probably anyway,

550
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,720
you're not even gonna see that much playing time. There's

551
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,519
so many great wide receivers there in the MIA. There's

552
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:43,200
so many Dade County products out there. Oh, you're probably

553
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,759
not gonna see a kind of like fingers crossed. You

554
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:48,480
hope he's not as good and productive there, but like

555
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,279
you still want to support him. Yeah, you know what

556
00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:53,559
I mean, Like it's this whole dichotomy within your own persona.

557
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: Who else did we lose?

558
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,599
Speaker 3: We talked about Yeah, Harrison Taggart, right, Harrison Taggart.

559
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 5: And he didn't he he didn't have a great year

560
00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:04,920
being I struggled. He wasn't as good as he was

561
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:05,640
the year before.

562
00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 3: Once again, you have to what everyone discounts is like

563
00:26:09,759 --> 00:26:13,160
the system and the position, coach and the coordinator. So

564
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,920
you have a trifecta there that's not associated with the

565
00:26:17,319 --> 00:26:21,240
dollar amount. So you're getting a bigger dollar amount to

566
00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:24,240
go to these other places, But there's not a coach

567
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:26,839
worth their salt that's going to guarantee a starting spot.

568
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,039
They may say, oh, yeah, you're gonna be right in line.

569
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,920
I think Crew thought he was gonna start. I'm sure

570
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,039
Harrison thought he was gonna start. Keeland thought he was

571
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:35,480
gonna start. You're still gonna have to go merit it

572
00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:39,160
like you have to produce otherwise you will be benched.

573
00:26:39,519 --> 00:26:44,279
That is football. That is the transactional nature of football.

574
00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:47,200
So when I mentioned it's like, yeah, every year you're

575
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:50,039
negotiating your value off of the prior season and also

576
00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:54,279
your health. If you're not healthy, you have no negotiating

577
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:58,119
power on less leverage, Like it's significantly reduced if you're

578
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,359
coming off in acl And they're like or an Achilles.

579
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: I mean, who's willing.

580
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,279
Speaker 3: To pay for you? Who's willing to pay for you?

581
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:09,720
You're probably better off sticking where you're at, you know,

582
00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:11,759
And it's not always weird to look at Cody Epps.

583
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:13,920
Cody EPs was a good football player for BYU?

584
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:14,319
Speaker 2: Was he not?

585
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: And then you know, towards the end of his career

586
00:27:16,519 --> 00:27:20,880
his last yet hurt. Well, after the twenty twenty two season,

587
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,519
right he had that breakout Gambers, his Notre Dame and

588
00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:24,079
all this stuff.

589
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,319
Speaker 2: He enters the portal, he gets a nice payday at BYU.

590
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but after that when he went into the portal,

591
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,240
what happened Western Kentucky? And he's like, nah, I'm good,

592
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,279
Like I'm not even gonna play football anymore because Western

593
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Kentucky's not where I wanted to be. Yeah, in the

594
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:39,680
first does that make sense? So it's kind of an

595
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,680
interesting world. There's no doubt, and you have to negotiate

596
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,200
at the end of the season every season. And so

597
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,880
from a from a I would say a reality TV show,

598
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,880
it's great for us.

599
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it gets for media. Yeah.

600
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:57,079
Speaker 3: People said that this new world would limit the it

601
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,599
would ruin the sport. Some people say it has but

602
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,960
like from an entertainment value, it's improved the sport. And

603
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:07,640
that's an issue we all struggle with right now.

604
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 5: I mean, think about last summer. Normally summers there's like

605
00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:13,400
you're just going through evergreen topics.

606
00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: You know, should we expand the statum? Should we not?

607
00:28:17,559 --> 00:28:20,799
Type deal? Last summer was great in terms of content.

608
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,079
Speaker 5: It wasn't all positive for BYU, but boy there was

609
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,359
a story every day.

610
00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:30,319
Speaker 3: A story every single day. Let's go go to break,

611
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,119
we'll come back. A key question to Killane bear bachmeer.

612
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:36,519
Is he a full go right now? In practice? Is

613
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:37,200
he healthy?

614
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:39,519
Speaker 2: Is he strong? Is he nourished? Is he strengthen?

615
00:28:39,839 --> 00:28:43,319
Speaker 3: How's that? How's that ankle? We'll discuss it on the

616
00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:46,079

00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:23,279
There's so many things that you can do. The wife

as Santa. Give her everything that she needs, you know, no.

673
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,039
Speaker 2: Doubt about it. The new old fashioned way going to

674
00:31:37,079 --> 00:31:41,400
the pop Tarts bowls for Christmas? Oh yeah, oh yeah.

675
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:43,319
Can I tell me lots of pop tarts too.

676
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:46,519
Speaker 5: I have an opinion, Okay, I think that the National

677
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,960
Championship Game should be the pop Tarts Bowl just because

678
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,119
of all the things around it.

679
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 2: The pop Tarts Bowl is American culture. It really is.

680
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 5: Everything good about America is the pop Darts Bowl, and

681
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,440
that should be the college football National Championship Game.

682
00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: Why is Orlando and the pop Tarts Well, why is

683
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:06,039
that America?

684
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 6: God?

685
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: Why is that hashtag America? I don't know.

686
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 5: It's just the all the pop tars bull mascots are

687
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,759
hilarious to me.

688
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 2: He's a pop I don't know.

689
00:32:14,079 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: It's like pop Tarts, sugar, sugar, processed.

690
00:32:17,839 --> 00:32:21,519
Speaker 2: Food, ready made, pre made. It's just good fun. It's

691
00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:25,960
good fun. Everything about the production is great, Universal Hollywood.

692
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,519
Speaker 5: The production of the of the Bowl is great. Everything

693
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,359
about the Pop Tarts Bowl is great.

694
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: It's America. It's America, sob city, It's diabetes, absolutely, all

695
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,920
sorts of different flavors. It's the melting pot.

696
00:32:41,119 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh my heavens. Anyway, hot take from Andrew Peterson. Let's

697
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,519
get into a couple more kilate cuts. Bear Bachmeier's health.

698
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,960
Bear Bachmeyer your starting quarterback. He's sustained what seemed to

699
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,920
be a high ankle spray in the Big twelve Championship

700
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:04,680
Game number five for Texas Tech. Is a large human.

701
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:08,640
I believe he weighs well over three hundred pounds. Caleb

702
00:33:09,119 --> 00:33:16,200
Payday Douglas is his name, and I'm gonna confirm this,

703
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:22,599
but I think he's well over well over three hundred pounds,

704
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,079
Caleb do Douglas. He's a junior in tier defensive lineman.

705
00:33:27,119 --> 00:33:30,599
He was very he was dominating in that game. Unfortunately

706
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,920
for by U. Unfortunately for that that particular situation.

707
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: With with bear Bachmeyer.

708
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 3: But he rolls up on on on Bear's ankle and

709
00:33:42,119 --> 00:33:43,880
it externally rotates the toe.

710
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,799
Speaker 2: That's never good. You never want that.

711
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,279
Speaker 3: But this is what Kilani had to say about bear

712
00:33:48,319 --> 00:33:52,400
Bachmeyer's health status yesterday.

713
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 6: He's right to sing, yep. I mean, you know full goal.

714
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 8: We we've still a long long time to get there,

715
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,359
but we'll keep improving. I like what I've seen from

716
00:34:01,599 --> 00:34:05,160
the other quarterbacks too, so you know it's a process.

717
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,760
But I thought he had a good practice today.

718
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,159
Speaker 3: So correction, Caleb Douglas is the wide receiver number five

719
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:14,880
on offense, and then the defense will live at Number

720
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,880
five is who Rodnie you whispered in my arm.

721
00:34:17,039 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 4: Number five for texattack is Colewanowski. That's the safety. Lee

722
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,039
Hunter is number two, the defensive tackle.

723
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: A number thirty pounds three yea three thirty yeah, three

724
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,440
and thirty six foot that's.

725
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 2: Hundred and thirty pounds. Rolls up on my ankle. I'm

726
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:29,639
not walking for it.

727
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,519
Speaker 4: No, you're not walking for three for three months?

728
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry my internet. I mean it's just sitting there,

729
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,000
just scrolling. I'm like, as I'm trying to look up number.

730
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,159
There he is right there. Okay, Lee Hunter, big man,

731
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,000
big boy, three hundred and thirty pounds high ankle spray.

732
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:43,519
Speaker 2: So he's practicing. Is he fools? To me? Though? How

733
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:44,639
healthy is bardy thing?

734
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 5: I would give you probably seventy five eighty percent, That's

735
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,599
what I think. There's no way that three hundred thirty

736
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,920
pounds brains my ankle. I'm not bar Bachmeyer, but I

737
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,119
bear Bachmeyers a lot of things, and he's great, But

738
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:03,480
I don't think he has super healing abilities to get

739
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,840
off of three hundred and thirty pounds rolling on your ankle.

740
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:06,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

741
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm right there with you. I think it's like

742
00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:14,559
seventy five eighty seventy five eighty at best. Let's get

743
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,880
into a few more sound bites. How motivated is the

744
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,000
team to get that twelfth win? It would it be

745
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,840
the first time in twenty four years that they got

746
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,480
over eleven wins.

747
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,039
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think there's plenty of motivation. The guys, like

748
00:35:29,119 --> 00:35:32,800
I said before, they love football. Another opportunity to play.

749
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,440
I mean, obviously everybody's going for the playoffs, but the

750
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,760
truth is we have an opportunity to play again, and

751
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,039
we had the opportunity to practice again. So last year,

752
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:45,440
those Bowl practices are really good in our development for

753
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,360
this year and this year.

754
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 6: This will be the same thing for next year.

755
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 8: So it's good for the developmental guys, the guys are

756
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,719
still underclassmen. For the seniors, good that we get the

757
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,960
extended season one more time.

758
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,079
Speaker 6: The disappointment that.

759
00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 8: Goes real quick, that goes away real quick when you

760
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:03,159
have attitude of appreciation what you get to do. So

761
00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:05,440
these guys love the game. They love that they get

762
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,679
to represent the right way, and then they're they're they're

763
00:36:07,679 --> 00:36:09,199
more than anything. They're they're grateful that they get to

764
00:36:09,199 --> 00:36:09,960
play this game again.

765
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: Look you look at year over year BYU Cougar football,

766
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,239
uh and it's uh, it's difficult to get into that

767
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,079
that twelve win mark. Right typically these you're playing eleven

768
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:27,119
games historically, Uh, so you're not getting to that mark.

769
00:36:27,559 --> 00:36:30,960
In twenty nineteen ninety six, you had fourteen wins one

770
00:36:31,039 --> 00:36:33,360
loss because you had the University of Hawai, you went

771
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,960
to y and so you got an extra game, I

772
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,400
believe on the mainland. Uh, and so that that's when

773
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,079
you typically get you got. You got an undefeated season

774
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:44,119
in nineteen eighty four, which was the you know, for

775
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,639
many the best season in BYU football history. Uh, you've

776
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:49,639
gotten eleven and two, eleven and two the last two seasons.

777
00:36:49,679 --> 00:36:51,639
You got an opportunity to get to twelve and two

778
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:54,679
with this Georgia Tech Bowl Game ten and three in

779
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:57,159
twenty twenty one, eleven and one in twenty twenty. You

780
00:36:57,199 --> 00:37:01,079
came a yard short that that season because you lost

781
00:37:01,079 --> 00:37:06,480
to Coastal Carolina Mullets versus the Mormons. In twenty eleven,

782
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:09,360
you had ten two thousand, ninety had eleven. Two thousand

783
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,400
and eighty, had ten two thousand and seventy, had eleven

784
00:37:11,559 --> 00:37:14,719
two thousand and six, you had eleven wins two thousand, sorry,

785
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,159
two thousand and one was the last time there was

786
00:37:16,199 --> 00:37:20,119
twelve and two that season, so it kind of went

787
00:37:20,159 --> 00:37:22,079
off the rails, right. You had two I believe, two

788
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:26,440
consecutive losses final game of the regular season and then

789
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,000
your bowl game loss as well.

790
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,599
Speaker 2: So it's been a minute, it's been over.

791
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 3: It's been twenty four years since Boa you got to

792
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,960
twelve wins, What would that mean to the program?

793
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,119
Speaker 2: Maybe, well, it's one of those.

794
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:40,599
Speaker 5: It's another one of those before Andrew Peterson was born stats.

795
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,599
So we live in a college football world where it's

796
00:37:45,599 --> 00:37:48,320
what has what have you done for me recently? I'm

797
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,119
a believer that the reason Cincinnati was able to get

798
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:54,360
into the fourteen playoffs is because one they've done it

799
00:37:54,599 --> 00:37:57,320
a few years where they've been consistently that good and

800
00:37:57,519 --> 00:38:00,719
UCF went twelve to zero, and so it put teams

801
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,719
like that on the radar. And so getting to twelve wins,

802
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,000
if you get it, it further puts your your your

803
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:09,519
name as.

804
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: A brand, a national brand.

805
00:38:11,079 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 5: If you're able to get eleven twelve wins year and

806
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,519
year out ten to twelve wins, people take you a

807
00:38:17,559 --> 00:38:19,119
lot more seriously when it.

808
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 2: Comes selection time. So I think it's a huge deal.

809
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,199
Speaker 5: If you can get to twelve wins, you can you

810
00:38:24,199 --> 00:38:28,320
can really sit there all off season and gain momentum

811
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,960
in the eyes of the national media.

812
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:33,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, how does getting a win in a bowl game

813
00:38:33,199 --> 00:38:36,840
versus a ranked opponent impact? Like I'm talking about like

814
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,280
the donor base, the fan base, and.

815
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: Even the media to like how we view this season.

816
00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:46,519
Speaker 3: Those that appine on a season like if BYU loses

817
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:50,079
Georgia Tech, is this season a bit soleied? You'll they

818
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:53,239
have two losses essentially to two teams. Yeah, I mean

819
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,639
you you have a potential national champion that you lost to,

820
00:38:55,679 --> 00:38:58,039
and then you lost to the twenty second best team

821
00:38:58,079 --> 00:39:00,320
in college football, which could be better than They could

822
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,760
be better than U of A. They could be better

823
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,679
than Utah. You know, it just it's depending on how

824
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,920
you look at it. Uh but uh, how much does

825
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,320
that does that solely the way you view this season?

826
00:39:10,519 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 5: I think it does because people remember, like the last

827
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,880
there's there's a few things people remember when it comes in.

828
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,440
They remember the first and the last, and so when

829
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,880
you everything in between is a little bit muddy than there.

830
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,480
I mean, beating util is always great, We'll always remember that.

831
00:39:27,159 --> 00:39:30,199
But when you end on a high note, you just

832
00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:32,840
you look back at things fondly, Like we looked back

833
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:37,480
last year great because we destroyed Colorado. If we'd lost

834
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,239
to Colorado last year, it would be a good season.

835
00:39:41,559 --> 00:39:44,360
But we wouldn't think of a view that last seasons like.

836
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,679
Speaker 2: It was such a disappointment at the end. Maybe the

837
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,199
twenty eleven season.

838
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just like, oh, you got the ten wins,

839
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,840
but that's a fake take.

840
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 5: We don't look at twenty twenty one as fondly because

841
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,840
we lost to UAV.

842
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,159
Speaker 3: It would be similar to twenty twenty one season. Yeah,

843
00:39:59,559 --> 00:40:01,840
no doubt, no doubt about it. Before we get into

844
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,519
more Cougar sports content, we have the one, the only

845
00:40:05,639 --> 00:40:09,000
Ronda of the road Home here to chat with us

846
00:40:09,039 --> 00:40:12,480
about why we should be giving during the holiday season,

847
00:40:12,519 --> 00:40:14,440
why we should be given to the road Home the

848
00:40:14,559 --> 00:40:17,960
Roadhome Dot Org. Ronda, go ahead and bring that mic

849
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:19,760
up just a little bit closer to you so we

850
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,119
can hear you loud and clear. Rona, tell me what

851
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:25,679
you do here at the road Home and just a

852
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:26,960
little bit about the road Home.

853
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 10: Thanks for giving us an opportunity to tell our story

854
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:32,760
about the road Home.

855
00:40:33,559 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 2: I am on.

856
00:40:34,559 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 10: The board of directors, board of Trustees for the Road Home,

857
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,159
and it gives me an opportunity to learn more about

858
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:47,679
the need tremendous need in our community, the growing number

859
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:55,360
of homeless individuals and families who need shelter or help

860
00:40:55,599 --> 00:40:59,039
to find a permanent, permanent place to live for them

861
00:40:59,199 --> 00:41:05,320
and their family. And right now the holiday mediathon that

862
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,800
you are helping us with is our biggest fundraiser of

863
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,320
the year, and we really need folks to get into

864
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,960
the giving spirit and help us out. The Road Home

865
00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:22,800
operates eighty percent of the year round shelter beds in

866
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,519
our community and that is a huge need. And as

867
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:30,039
I said, that need is growing right here right now,

868
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:35,400
we're broadcasting live at the Connie Crosby Resource Center for Families,

869
00:41:36,039 --> 00:41:40,920
and you know, there are over two hundred children every

870
00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:47,159
night in this facility that need your support, need your support.

871
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,920
So whether it's financial or you look us up online

872
00:41:51,159 --> 00:41:54,639
and donate your time, or as the people today are

873
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,800
driving by and donating clothing and blankets and household goods,

874
00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:03,920
those are all going to a great cause. You know,

875
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:09,400
the Road Home serves over one thousand people in shelter

876
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,960
every night, and then we have more people in supportive

877
00:42:14,119 --> 00:42:17,599
housing as well. And what we do is we have

878
00:42:18,199 --> 00:42:23,079
people that are working with those individuals that are homeless

879
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,199
and helping them find maybe medical care that they might need,

880
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:33,119
or a job or you know, permanent shelter, help them

881
00:42:33,119 --> 00:42:36,840
working out their situations as to why they were homeless

882
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,800
in the first place. And I've been helping them out

883
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,719
as a volunteer for probably ten years. And I tell you,

884
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,360
I know that when you donate, your money goes to

885
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:57,719
the services and the people and not in the pockets

886
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:03,440
of anything else. Yes, it has huge impact. And so anyway,

887
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,840
we really appreciate the opportunity to tell that story, and

888
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,320
and I just urge people to if you're living comfortably,

889
00:43:12,119 --> 00:43:15,360
then maybe you've got a little bit of money right

890
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,519
now that you could support the Road Home so that

891
00:43:18,639 --> 00:43:20,800
others may be as comfortable as you are.

00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 10: Yes, exactly. Blankets right now are really important. It's cold outside,

899
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,960
and any kind of hats and gloves and wind clothing

900
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:55,039

we'll have a little bit of a cleaning out around

903
00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:06,159
the holiday season, and you know, kids out grow clothes,

904
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,400
some people bring give them to d I, which is great.

905
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,000
Right now, hey, rather than going to d I, which

906
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,639
is awesome, bring it into the road Home.

907

along the Wallstaede front. You guys been doing it for

918

the holiday season. All right, let's get back to some

971
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:08,199
kilane cuts if you will. Kilani was asked a number

972
00:47:08,199 --> 00:47:10,360
of questions, some really good ones. Zero Let's read between

973
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,800
the lines as well. You mentioned the pop charts ball

974
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,880
wasn't a consolation prize. Could you expand on why others

975
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,079
might not feel the same way.

976
00:47:19,599 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a football game, so those people probably don't

977
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,760
love football as much as we do when our fans do.

978
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,840
So that's okay. I think everybody has their opinions. We

979
00:47:28,159 --> 00:47:30,920
love any other opportunity. I mean, when you sit there

980
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,519
and you try to try to judge Bowl games, I

981
00:47:32,519 --> 00:47:35,119
think Bowl games are amazing. It gives It's different than

982
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,000
an away game because we had to spend more time

983
00:47:37,039 --> 00:47:40,320
there in the community. So we're a program that's based

984
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,119
around connection to people, and so we were excited to

985
00:47:43,119 --> 00:47:45,039
go out there and do some service and hang out.

986
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,079
Speaker 6: And get to know the community.

987
00:47:46,159 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 8: We do well and you never know some of these

988
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,440
guys might in the professional world, might work or play

989
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,280
and might live in that area. And so I don't

990
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,559
know how many opportunities guys on our team have a

991
00:47:55,599 --> 00:47:57,280
chance to go to Orlando, and I a should get

992
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,199
to hang out there and be treated.

993
00:47:59,199 --> 00:48:02,519
Speaker 6: Like rock stars that these guys are. They're rolling out

994
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:03,519
the red carpet.

995
00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 8: For us, and we're really thankful for all that everybody's

996
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,840
done and sacrifice so that we could play this game

997
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,360
and enjoy all the festivities that are around it.

998
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:17,159
Speaker 3: So it's not a consolation prize, ap I mean it is.

999
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,119
I understand what he's getting at.

1000
00:48:19,199 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: This is culture, right, This is culture culture.

1001
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 3: Traditional football culture is faith, family football. You love the game,

1002
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,760
you love your family, you love your teammates, right, you

1003
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,079
love God, you love your father.

1004
00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. That is baseline foundational football culture.

1005
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:38,079
It's weed, not me.

1006
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 3: It's all about playing the game that we grew up

1007
00:48:42,199 --> 00:48:46,400
loving and representing the name on our backs, representing our faith,

1008
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,320
representing our team.

1009
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 2: That's what it's about.

1010
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,559
Speaker 3: So Kalate saying, hey, we love football, we love just

1011
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,760
the community, we love all these things. And Ronald whispers

1012
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,400
in my air and says, it's also.

1013
00:48:57,199 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 2: A shot at Notre Dame, the.

1014
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 3: Shot at the fighting Irish rather the quitting Irish as

1015
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,119
we're calling them here on ESPN.

1016
00:49:05,159 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 2: The fan.

1017
00:49:05,559 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 5: Well, I think it's a real thing. It's like you said,

1018
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,400
this is a test of how good is your culture,

1019
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,679
Because in twenty twenty one, when they went to play

1020
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,719
UAB and they did not get up for that game,

1021
00:49:15,199 --> 00:49:17,639
that said the culture wasn't quite where it needed to be.

1022
00:49:18,679 --> 00:49:21,679
Speaker 2: This is a test as to where is your culture now?

1023
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 5: Last year when they missed out on the conference championship game,

1024
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,599
they could have thought of the alimable as a consolation prize.

1025
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 2: No, they got up for the game.

1026
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 5: Their culture was in the right place and they went

1027
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,679
and they beat Colorado. And so this is the difference

1028
00:49:34,679 --> 00:49:37,960
between BYU's culture and Notre Dame's culture is BYU's playing

1029
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,800
this game and they're gonna get up for this game

1030
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,000
because they love the game of football. Notre Dame will

1031
00:49:44,039 --> 00:49:46,760
not play that game because they're playing to get a prize,

1032
00:49:47,079 --> 00:49:49,199
not because they love to play football.

1033
00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:52,679
Speaker 3: I love it, man, No, I think there's a lot there,

1034
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:57,639
and I love the Kilani culture right now. Stay humble,

1035
00:49:57,639 --> 00:50:02,199
stay hungry and love learning it's working, love to play

1036
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,880
the game, love your faith, love your family, and go

1037
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,039
out and represent them the right way.

1038
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 2: Now. There is more than just a game and a

1039
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,199
season on the line here.

1040
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,199
Speaker 3: BYU has been a little bit more aggressive and K

1041
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,559
Pop's kind of led the charge. They've gone out and

1042
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:21,960
found Georgia based talent, and they were recruiting Georgia based

1043
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,519
talent again this offseason. They lost a guy that they

1044
00:50:24,519 --> 00:50:28,079
were trying to get. They're trying to make some headway

1045
00:50:28,119 --> 00:50:31,000
in Georgia. You lost Keelan Marrion yep to Miami.

1046
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 2: Not good. I didn't like that.

1047
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 3: Trey Alexander is still on the roster. Okay, there's a also.

1048
00:50:37,199 --> 00:50:40,400
I believe Keller Heer from Georgia is on the roster

1049
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:41,280
as a tight end.

1050
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: Culturally, they fit in to BYU.

1051
00:50:45,199 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 3: It's a faith centric community and football culture out there

1052
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,239
in Georgia, and that's why Kate Pop and the coaching

1053
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:56,159
staff has been aggressive about recruiting those fertile grounds. But

1054
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,639
you wonder when when kids get home, So it's Trey

1055
00:50:59,679 --> 00:51:02,639
getting I'm sick. If BYU goes out there, they lay

1056
00:51:02,639 --> 00:51:03,000
an egg.

1057
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,519
Speaker 2: Right. It's like, did I pick the wrong school?

1058
00:51:05,519 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 3: I'm not saying he's going to say that, but you

1059
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:08,960
know what I mean, you lose to Georgia Tech.

1060
00:51:09,039 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 2: Did I pick the wrong school to be playing for? Man?

1061
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 3: I kind of wish the warm I miss the warm weather.

1062
00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:18,599
It's winter here. You know it's a little bit dreary. Man,

1063
00:51:18,639 --> 00:51:21,440
That inversion is getting to me. I don't really like

1064
00:51:21,519 --> 00:51:25,519
this class. Keeling's in Miami, now, my buddy, you know

1065
00:51:25,519 --> 00:51:28,559
what I mean? Like all those things can kind of

1066
00:51:28,639 --> 00:51:30,800
been to stack up against you. So that's what you're

1067
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,360
playing for here too. You want to make sure, like

1068
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,920
you you tell, you put everyone on unnotice. In Georgia,

1069
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,719
BYU is a better program than Georgia Tech. So yeah,

1070
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,599
you're gonna go if you go to Georgia, congratulations, you

1071
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:49,079
go to any of these surrounding p fours that perception wise,

1072
00:51:49,559 --> 00:51:52,559
championship wise, you know, it's it's closer to home, and

1073
00:51:52,639 --> 00:51:55,599
it's it's a premiere school. Georgia Tech is in the

1074
00:51:55,599 --> 00:51:57,960
ac They're a great program, There's no doubt about it.

1075
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,360
You do not want to get them any ammunition if

1076
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,039
you're still trying to attack, You're sure still trying to

1077
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,239
thrust in your recruiting sickle with your might on those

1078
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,039
fertile grounds. Does that make sense. I've been thinking about that.

1079
00:52:12,079 --> 00:52:13,360
It's been keeping me up at night.

1080
00:52:13,559 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1081
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 5: Well, does it also have an influence on recruiting in

1082
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:22,079
Florida Because BYU has an interesting Florida is a great

1083
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:25,159
place to recruit from. They've got a lot of good talent,

1084
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,920
and because UCF is in the conference, in every couple

1085
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:33,000
of years, BYU's going to UCF and then maybe every

1086
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,360
couple of years you play your bowl game in Orlando,

1087
00:52:36,079 --> 00:52:39,039
You've got a lot of time in Florida. Yeahere you

1088
00:52:39,079 --> 00:52:42,719
can establish a brand that is this is a unique opportunity.

1089
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,440
We've never had the kind of opportunity to establish a

1090
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,000
brand in the South, never, I don't think ever. But

1091
00:52:50,079 --> 00:52:52,960
because we're in the same conference as UCF and we play.

1092
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 2: Them, yeah every year or.

1093
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 3: Every few years, and we go into Florida with a

1094
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,320
running back pipeline.

1095
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,639
Speaker 2: Exactly, and now we're playing bowl games there.

1096
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 5: This is an opportunity to continue to establish a brand

1097
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,639
that say, Hey, if you're thinking about going to the ACC,

1098
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,760
why don't you, you know, if you're that good of

1099
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,039
a player, why don't you come play for a program

1100
00:53:12,039 --> 00:53:13,920
that goes and beats the ACC teams?

1101
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 2: I need it.

1102
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,519
Speaker 3: Uh, let's get back to Killane cuts in sound bites.

1103
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:19,320
By the way, we're at the road Home the road

1104

1105
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,320

1106
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,679
we two must give. Head on over to the road

home dot org. Forward slash donate to donate to a

1108
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:32,519
great cause. Any players who have NFL decisions to make kilane,

1109
00:53:33,039 --> 00:53:35,719
have you have any of them opted out.

1110
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:37,119
Speaker 2: Do you have any updates on players?

1111
00:53:38,159 --> 00:53:39,599
Speaker 6: No, we haven't had any opt outs.

1112
00:53:39,599 --> 00:53:41,679
Speaker 8: And I mean this is still time between now and

1113
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,119
the game of their practicing, and you know, I think

1114
00:53:44,159 --> 00:53:46,280
the biggest issues can we get guys healthy one hundred

1115
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,599
percent by the time we get to the game, and

1116
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,599
is there enough practice time to get them ready? And

1117
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:53,360
right now I think there we're a good trajectory for that.

1118
00:53:53,519 --> 00:53:55,639
But you know, there's a lot of different things and

1119
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:57,960
decisions making that go into It's hard to generalize it

1120
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,039
in one statement, but we've been through this before and

1121
00:54:01,079 --> 00:54:03,440
so what we want was best for the for the players,

1122
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,599
and and you know, we think playing the game is

1123
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:07,159
gonna be the best thing for them. Some of them

1124
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,719
are over trying to overcome some injuries, so that that's

1125
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,119
pretty much it. And if people are off the out

1126
00:54:12,199 --> 00:54:13,760
or inserting in the portal, most of the time it's

1127
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,280
for playing time. And so that's that's kind of been

1128
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,119
the the biggest reason. That's not just here, that's from

1129
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,079
other places too. So we'll just keep working with it.

1130
00:54:22,119 --> 00:54:24,840
And I'm enjoying the practices and how much how much

1131
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,599
probless we've mentioned in the last game, I.

1132
00:54:27,559 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 3: Think there's there's some truth to that. Keelan Marion was

1133
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,280
probably more money than playing time. Harrison Taggart, he wanted

1134
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:34,760
to be the starter. I think Crew wanted to be

1135
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,239
started more playing time for b Yu, it's typically guys

1136
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,360
that are looking for PT. Sometimes they have to downgrade,

1137
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,880
you know, being in conference affiliation to go out and

1138
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,639
ball out and look, that's that's.

1139
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:47,079
Speaker 2: The new model.

1140
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 3: Go play at a D one double a, go play

1141
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,559
at a D two, Go play at a at a

1142
00:54:50,639 --> 00:54:54,400
juke o, go get PT, get film and then level

1143
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,719
up because free agency is every single year.

1144
00:54:57,159 --> 00:55:00,559
Speaker 2: Yep, I agree. Yeah, a couple last things challenges.

1145
00:55:00,639 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 3: Does Georgia Tech present as an ACC team?

1146
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:06,639
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1147
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 8: Brent Key's a really good coach and I mean he's

1148
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,480
an alignment, so they're gonna be focused on running the ball.

1149
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,599
The quarterback runs the ball really well. I just like him,

1150
00:55:14,639 --> 00:55:16,239
and the more I hear about him, I like him

1151
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,639
as a person even more. I mean, but he's he's

1152
00:55:18,679 --> 00:55:20,760
a tough notes player. They can throw the ball, can run,

1153
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,960
and so very similar to what we do. I think offensively,

1154
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,880
they do a lot of things. I think it's were

1155
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:28,960
similar in a lot of different ways, but more than anything.

1156
00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:32,920
We're built on the same type of principles. So they're

1157
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,639
a tough team and it's going to require all of

1158
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,480
us being at our best and and we're looking forward

1159
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,039
to the game and the matchup and and what it

1160
00:55:39,039 --> 00:55:40,400
can make it could bring out of us.

1161
00:55:42,599 --> 00:55:45,599
Speaker 3: It's it's a well coached I look, Georgia TeX's culture

1162
00:55:45,639 --> 00:55:47,679
is fantastic. They have a great coach, and they have

1163
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,000
great players. They have a great quarterback p f F

1164
00:55:50,079 --> 00:55:52,840
grade by the way for their store quarterback in ninety,

1165
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:53,519
which would put.

1166
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:54,519
Speaker 2: Him in the top.

1167
00:55:55,079 --> 00:55:58,760
Speaker 3: I'll give you official ranking here here shortly. But yeah,

1168
00:55:59,119 --> 00:56:01,920
great football team, great football program in well coached, no

1169
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,039
doubt about it. Real quick, you know, because I want

1170
00:56:05,039 --> 00:56:08,199
to get through some of these sound bites, so we're

1171
00:56:08,199 --> 00:56:10,400
gonna go a little bit long in the segment. One

1172
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:12,760
of the most controversial things that have happened this offseason

1173
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,719
is is Kyle Whittingham essentially being pushed out at the UVU.

1174
00:56:16,199 --> 00:56:18,639
Now he stepped down, he has not officially retired.

1175
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

1176
00:56:19,599 --> 00:56:21,559
Speaker 3: No one knows because there hasn't been a press conference.

1177
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,199
Morgan Scaley doesn't even a press conference yet. It's gonna

1178
00:56:25,199 --> 00:56:28,320
be pushed to like January. Apparently it's January sixth, apparently

1179
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,079
day Kyle's gonna he's gonna coach in the bowl game.

1180
00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:33,360
But he's gonna be speaking to the media here shortly.

1181
00:56:33,599 --> 00:56:36,199
But he made the rounds earlier today. He got on

1182
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,239
with Scott Mitchell, and we'll try to play some of

1183
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,320
those sound bites for you before we get some official

1184
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,280
statements from Kyle, because he's gonna be asked some hard

1185
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,639
hitting questions I'm sure later on. But this was Kilane's

1186
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,920
response to, what's your reaction to Kyle Whittingham stepping down

1187
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:50,360
at the U.

1188
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, uh, I think we kind of knew

1189
00:56:56,639 --> 00:56:59,920
that that eventually he'd have to and it's inevitable. Party

1190
00:57:00,079 --> 00:57:03,119
can't just keep playing or coaching for forever, even though

1191
00:57:03,119 --> 00:57:05,800
we would like to. But I just for me, my

1192
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,000
reaction is just gratitude.

1193
00:57:07,559 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 6: For everything that he's done.

1194
00:57:09,159 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 8: He's helped change the game of football, especially in the state.

1195
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,559
And he's been able to to, you know, be a

1196
00:57:14,599 --> 00:57:17,760
player under Lavelle here at BYU, and and then what

1197
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,840
he's been able to do as a coach as a

1198
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,599
position coach and a coordinator and also a head coach.

1199
00:57:22,639 --> 00:57:25,159
He's been connected to all those all those coaches and

1200
00:57:25,239 --> 00:57:29,280
so it's it's amazing his career and just wish him

1201
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,079
the best and everything. Yeah, So that's I mean, and

1202
00:57:32,119 --> 00:57:34,760
I'm really happy for Morgan. Morgan's been head coaching waiting

1203
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,039
for a while and this is his opportunity. He'll do great.

1204
00:57:38,039 --> 00:57:40,639
I've been around him for many years. We worked together

1205
00:57:40,679 --> 00:57:44,320
for ten years. So it's a really good program and

1206
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:45,760
they're in good hands with Morgan Scatt.

1207
00:57:47,559 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is the passing of the baton,

1208
00:57:50,079 --> 00:57:52,000
but Kyle winning him. Do you think he's going to

1209
00:57:52,079 --> 00:57:53,599
coach next year? Do you think he's going to take

1210
00:57:53,599 --> 00:58:01,840
that assistant personal assistant Associate Athletic director of three point four.

1211
00:58:01,679 --> 00:58:05,079
Speaker 2: To five million and stay at Utah?

1212
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 5: It would have to be if he's coaching again, it

1213
00:58:08,519 --> 00:58:12,320
would have to be. Uh, it would have to be

1214
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,159
a three year job at Michigan to stabilize the program.

1215
00:58:16,199 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 2: That's the only thing I could see him taking because

1216
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,920
he's he would take an assistant head coach DC role.

1217
00:58:23,239 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 5: No, No, because I think he's at that point where

1218
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:28,679
he's just a little.

1219
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: Bits he's done.

1220
00:58:30,519 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 5: Not that he's worn out, but he's at that age

1221
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,000
where he's like I could enjoy some other things in

1222
00:58:35,079 --> 00:58:40,039
life without the rigors of recruiting and game planning all

1223
00:58:40,039 --> 00:58:42,159
the time, to be with his family type of deal.

1224
00:58:42,519 --> 00:58:44,679
He's at that age where it's time for him to

1225
00:58:44,719 --> 00:58:47,679
be with his family, is what That's probably what I

1226
00:58:47,719 --> 00:58:48,239
That's what I.

1227
00:58:48,159 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: Think he's feeling.

1228
00:58:49,679 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 5: And so I think it would have to be a

1229
00:58:54,039 --> 00:58:58,440
really lucrative deal from a program like Michigan where he's like,

1230
00:58:58,519 --> 00:59:01,559
I'm only gonna be here three four years and then

1231
00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:02,079
I'm done.

1232
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:03,159
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1233
00:59:03,679 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 3: So right now, Calshi online betting platform has Kenny Dillingham

1234
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,840
as thirty two percent chants. It has dropped three percent recently.

1235
00:59:15,239 --> 00:59:18,039
Kilin de Boor is the number two at sixteen percent,

1236
00:59:18,079 --> 00:59:21,280
and then Kywenhem at ten percent probability.

1237
00:59:21,719 --> 00:59:24,679
Speaker 5: So I bet that Deboor number goes up if they

1238
00:59:24,679 --> 00:59:25,440
lose to Oklahoma.

1239
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,079
Speaker 3: So if they lose Oklahoma, that goes up, and he

1240
00:59:27,119 --> 00:59:30,519
could make the move to Michigan or rather Alabama. Say

1241
00:59:30,559 --> 00:59:32,599
we're done with him. He's not good enough, he's not

1242
00:59:32,639 --> 00:59:34,760
smart enough, and dog on it, not enough people like him.

1243
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,639
We're moving on, Kayln, you can go to Michigan. Great

1244
00:59:37,719 --> 00:59:41,199
grand wonderful, I mean, but Kenny's still the favorite per Calshi.

1245
00:59:41,639 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 2: He's a good coach.

1246
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:47,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got really emotional when asked about ASU and

1247
00:59:47,079 --> 00:59:50,000
he loves it there, and that's his alma mater, you know,

1248
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:52,480
he's an alum and loves it and wants to build something.

1249
00:59:52,599 --> 00:59:54,239
Speaker 2: But he also lost Sam Levitt.

1250
00:59:54,480 --> 01:00:00,519
Speaker 3: You lost your your iconic, your brand ambassador, right, the

1251
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:01,400
guy that's supposed to.

1252
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 2: Be your guy.

1253
01:00:02,239 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 3: And and Sam is gonna level up, He's gonna get paid. Oh,

1254
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,840
and he's gonna probably go to either an SEC or

1255
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,320
Big ten school most likely.

1256
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,559
Speaker 5: And could you what this might be a little bit

1257
01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:16,119
too conspiracy theory for you, but if Sam Levitt got

1258
01:00:16,159 --> 01:00:19,599
a little wind of Kenny Dillingham leaving, did he get

1259
01:00:19,639 --> 01:00:21,559
in the transfer portal to follow Kenny?

1260
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's true. I don't know.

1261
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, if Kenny's going to Michigan, Sam may be the

1262
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:27,920
starting quarterback for Michigan, which.

1263
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 5: Would be a heck of a journey Michigan State to

1264
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,800
Arizona State back to rival Michigan.

1265
01:00:33,039 --> 01:00:36,079
Speaker 2: Michigan State fans hate Sam Levitt right now, that would

1266
01:00:36,079 --> 01:00:39,800
be that would be something that happens only Cannoley Holy only.

1267
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,119
Speaker 3: Anyway, We'll see what doy Cole winning has to say

1268
01:00:42,199 --> 01:00:44,079
later on the show. But a couple of last things

1269
01:00:44,079 --> 01:00:47,239
from Collotte. What have you heard or what have you

1270
01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,360
learned in your first ten years of you? What lesson

1271
01:00:49,719 --> 01:00:51,400
can't what lessons can you take away?

1272
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I don't know if I can say

1273
01:00:53,239 --> 01:00:55,559
that in one answer, but I mean I've learned a

1274
01:00:55,559 --> 01:00:57,880
lot and so in ten years as a head coach,

1275
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:59,679
I think I came into it with a lot of

1276
01:00:59,719 --> 01:01:02,480
ideas and thoughts and a lot of them worked out,

1277
01:01:02,639 --> 01:01:05,320
but some didn't. But I think I'm not afraid to

1278
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,599
try things, you know, and I'm not afraid to be bold,

1279
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,000
and so going into the next you know how many

1280
01:01:12,119 --> 01:01:15,039
years I got left in coaching, Yeah, I probably have

1281
01:01:15,079 --> 01:01:17,679
the same type attitude. But I've actually learned a lot

1282
01:01:18,079 --> 01:01:19,559
the last ten years. So I'm still trying to learn

1283
01:01:19,599 --> 01:01:21,199
as much as I can.

1284
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 6: And Strawberry, I don't know who's in there. Is that

1285
01:01:24,519 --> 01:01:31,519
PK in there? You look good at that Parker.

1286
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:34,199
Speaker 2: Anyway?

1287
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,639
Speaker 3: That's h Parker Kingston in a pop tart suit apparently.

1288
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 2: But I do like what Colonie had to say.

1289
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 3: Look, I've had some good ideas and that's some bad ideas.

1290
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,599
Some things that work, some things happened. I'm going to

1291
01:01:44,719 --> 01:01:49,400
continue to be bold. My favorite gift or jiff whatever

1292
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,280
it is, I typically drop after Kilani goes for it

1293
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,760
on fourth down in some outrageous situation and it's like

1294
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,159
this this bowl, that's like walking in a field, and

1295
01:02:00,239 --> 01:02:03,920
he's got the largest balls you've ever seen, just like

1296
01:02:04,039 --> 01:02:07,280
dangling and swinging like he's got he's got big balls,

1297
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,480
being honest, like he's always doing bold things. He's going

1298
01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:13,920
he does bold things, like very bold, and I'm gonna

1299
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,039
continue to be bold.

1300
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:19,159
Speaker 2: Okay, that's Kilani Kilanie.

1301
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,679
Speaker 3: He's swinging the verd like I'm gonna go for to

1302
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,039
four the nineteen. That is what I'm gonna do. I'm

1303
01:02:24,039 --> 01:02:26,480
gonna go forward to you know, backed up por I

1304
01:02:26,519 --> 01:02:29,360
mean Johnny linahand became a legend because.

1305
01:02:30,639 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 2: Bailed big big Khonis. Ull say.

1306
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,599
Speaker 5: The only the only player I think that has bigger

1307
01:02:37,599 --> 01:02:40,199
balls than Kilani is that punter that faked it on

1308
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,800
fourth and one in twenty twenty when they're up by

1309
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,079
thirty and then stood next to Kilani hes talking about

1310
01:02:46,119 --> 01:02:49,920

Kalani chewed them out the minute they got to the song.

1316
01:03:02,639 --> 01:03:05,079
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I totally did. There's no doubt about it.

1317
01:03:05,199 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 3: A couple last things here, Kalani, do you have a

1318
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,800
favorite Disney character or movie?

1319
01:03:11,079 --> 01:03:11,679
Speaker 6: I like it all.

1320
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,559
Speaker 8: I'm a food guy, so if you ask me, well,

1321
01:03:14,559 --> 01:03:16,840
how's that vacation, I usually say the food was really good,

1322
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,960
so I loved it, so yeah. For me, and then

1323
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,960
seeing my kids have fun, and seeing that the players

1324
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,599
have a good time and allowing them to enjoy it

1325
01:03:24,639 --> 01:03:27,559
with their families, it's gonna be cool. I think, you know,

1326
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:31,039
Christmas around the Bowl time is it's a lot of fun,

1327
01:03:31,079 --> 01:03:32,920
and that's kind of I hope we have to deal

1328
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,000
with Christmas, travel and all those things from here on out.

1329
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:36,679
Speaker 6: With the Bowl games.

1330
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:40,159
Speaker 8: I think the Bowl games are amazing opportunity a player.

1331
01:03:40,159 --> 01:03:43,199
That's we were making memories that last on my lifetime

1332
01:03:43,239 --> 01:03:45,400
and for me as I played in those games, and

1333
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,599
so it's a great reward, but a great opportunity for

1334
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:50,360
everyone too.

1335
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 2: I don't remember the number.

1336
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 3: But I think there's like thirty plus guys on the

1337
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:58,000
team that are married, and I'm sure there's a kid

1338
01:03:58,079 --> 01:03:58,360
or two.

1339
01:03:58,559 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 2: And that's a great thing.

1340
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 3: You get to go to the Bowl game, you get

1341
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,280
to go to Orlando, Uh, Disney Universal Studios, what have you?

1342
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 2: And uh, you get to bring them. You can't bring girlfriends,

1343
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,119
you can't bring fiances. You can bring your wife. It's

1344
01:04:13,159 --> 01:04:15,239
a very very smart move from d Yu.

1345
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 3: I love it man uh and klate stating if if

1346

1347
01:04:24,199 --> 01:04:26,119
All Right, let's get to the final one kilate. You've

1348
01:04:26,119 --> 01:04:29,039
had a handful of players enter the portal. How clear

1349
01:04:29,119 --> 01:04:32,480
is it that, How clear is that for the rest

1350
01:04:32,719 --> 01:04:33,840
of the roster?

1351
01:04:35,119 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, we we have a good idea what what we

1352
01:04:37,079 --> 01:04:42,360
what we have with Yeah, we we have a good idea.

1353
01:04:42,119 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 8: What what we what we have with our roster and

1354
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,199
the returning roster. And we know that there's going to

1355
01:04:47,239 --> 01:04:49,840
be some attrician attritions a little different now than it

1356
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,079
was in the years past, but we're working with all that.

1357
01:04:52,119 --> 01:04:54,559
We're trying to communicate with all our players, allowing them

1358
01:04:54,559 --> 01:04:56,519
to see where they where they where we see them

1359
01:04:56,519 --> 01:04:59,960
on our depth chart and uh what we're our expectation

1360
01:05:00,039 --> 01:05:02,920
as are of them, and sometimes it matches up and

1361
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,280
sometimes they're looking for something different and we want to

1362
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:07,239
help them as much as we can. I mean, we're

1363
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,800
excited about it. Once you're a cougar, you're always a cougar,

1364
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,199
So we want to want to help them, whether they're

1365
01:05:12,239 --> 01:05:14,599
here or they're moving on, and so that's always been

1366
01:05:14,599 --> 01:05:17,480
our mindset. I mean, we were still connected to Jake Reslof.

1367
01:05:17,519 --> 01:05:19,199
He's getting getting ready to play this weekend and we're

1368
01:05:19,239 --> 01:05:21,639
gonna be cheering him on and really excited about him

1369
01:05:21,639 --> 01:05:24,280
being in the playoffs. So there's nothing but love here

1370
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,000
and communicating and making sure that we're all on the
