We 27 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,280 got brain day on the line, braid and how that 28 00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:23,599 are you, buddy? Doing awesome, doing fantastic? Uh look, uh, 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,560 we haven't chatted since the National championship game, and what 30 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,319 a glorious one it was. Look. One of the conversations 31 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,359 that I've been having with the individuals that think college 32 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,439 football has been ruined, it's the it's it's just in chaos, 33 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,000 it's in disarray, all of the bad things that are 34 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:45,000 happening out there. They're just complaining, complaining, complaining. I'm like, well, 35 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,040 is the the fact that the losing this program in 36 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,599 college football history just won the national Championship a sign 37 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,920 of the contrary fact that you're that you are uh, 38 00:01:56,239 --> 00:01:59,760 you're you're essentially stating as truth is that it's all ruined. 39 00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:00,159 Speaker 1: Is this. 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: Tell a sign that it's not ruined that Indiana won 41 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:06,480 the Natty. 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,479 Speaker 3: They one hundred percent thinks. So I think the parody 43 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:13,479 that's happened with the transfer portal and NIL has been 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,719 exactly what we want as college football fans. Like I 45 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,719 think there's plenty of college football fans that feel like 46 00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:23,080 that it's been ruined because they thought that like having 47 00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:25,039 everybody focus on just at your. 48 00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:26,319 Speaker 4: National championship or bus when you. 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: Have one hundred and thirty teams is hard. So I 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,039 get where they're coming from, I guess and that, but 51 00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:33,960 I think the parody has never been as close as 52 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,039 it is right now, and so for me, I love it. 53 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,120 And obviously it's working at you a saver transporter. We're 54 00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:42,319 losing very few people who are who are studs, and 55 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,520 we're getting in studs all the time. NIL is obviously 56 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:48,000 working well for us. So I'm probably just biased that 57 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,520 works out for UU, so I'm on the positive end 58 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,199 of it, But I think it's a good thing for 59 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,080 college football. I much said having Indiana be the one 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,680 that's wins the National Championship and having Miami the one 61 00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,599 that was playing in it. It was an eleven seed 62 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,039 porten seed. I think that was a huge another testimony 63 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,719 that it is good for college football. 64 00:03:06,039 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Miami and Indiana in the National Championship game, 65 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,919 you gotta I mean, Miami barely got in by the 66 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,319 skin of their teeth. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:13,800 you know what I mean. 68 00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 5: It's like, uh, and it's the first time that all 69 00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:20,159 the playoff games were entertaining true in a long time. 70 00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,439 Like all every team in the playoff, with the side 71 00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:26,639 of Tulane and jam You sure got boat raced, but 72 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,400 everybody else had pretty good competitive games. 73 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,479 Speaker 3: One game. But I will say, I'm a contrad that 74 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:36,840 I'm gonna I'm gonna fight against a little bit think 75 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,039 of the oh well, jam You and and too interest 76 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,599 have been in there because of the domination. But like 77 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:45,199 what happened to the Oregon game against Indiana or what 78 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,039 happened in Texas Tech obviously, and so I think blowouts 79 00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:50,000 are gonna happen everyone so on football, and that's okay, 80 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,159 But I those teams are playing. It was the one 81 00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:57,960 and ten, and there was a other two others that 82 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,840 moved forward into the final four that were not the 83 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:03,560 final four seeds. So I love that we're opening it 84 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:04,680 up and letting. 85 00:04:04,479 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: Actual I understand what people think. 86 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,879 Speaker 3: When they say, hey, the balls were awesome. 87 00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:11,599 Speaker 4: Because you didn't have to be national championship or bust. 88 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: And what sport do we not actually have a tournament 89 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,680 to find out the champion keyball? Like keyball, dmo sport 90 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,839 besides college football that says, you know, we're just gonna 91 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,800 play for the fun of it, like every other sport 92 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,639 has a championship. 93 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: Amen. Amen to that, Braden Day here on your Utah 94 00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:33,680 ESPN Radio network. This college football season, I think was 95 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,759 one of the most entertaining. It just was. There were 96 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,600 so many storylines. There's more viewership now than ever. I 97 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,680 think for the most part, all is well in the 98 00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:46,240 college football world, and the pendulum has swung. Do I 99 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,879 wanted to swing back a little bit and get to center, Yes, 100 00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:52,800 but I don't know how long. I don't know if 101 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,079 I want that immediately. I kind of want to see 102 00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:56,959 how this plays out. I need more data points of 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,439 the free market capitalist a collegiate football landscape that we're 104 00:04:59,439 --> 00:05:01,040 living in right now. I need at least five years 105 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,240 of this, how about you? 106 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,399 Speaker 3: Yeah? And I honestly, I think we've talked about this. 107 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,800 I'm a huge believer that as soon as we start regulating, 108 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,040 it hurts you you the most because other schools might 109 00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:14,160 be willing to play, you know, behind the scenes and 110 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,879 do things that they're not technically closed to, but they're 111 00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:18,800 doing it anyway. The way you will not play in 112 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,000 that ballpark. And so right now where it's pretty market 113 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,920 the way you can play, and I want that as 114 00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:24,920 long as possible. I don't think it's going to be 115 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,160 that way forever. I think the regulation is going to 116 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,800 come at some point, but I do think that. 117 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 4: I mean, look at what happened. 118 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 3: The SEC was the national champions for like eight out 119 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,519 of ten years or something like that, and now we 120 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,600 decide that, hey, we're not going to put a regulation 121 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,720 on it, and we cheating is now not cheating, and 122 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,519 now they're not there. For three years in a row, 123 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,160 they don't win a national championship, even in the national Championship. 124 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,279 So I think you put twoudred together there, I guess 125 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,720 if you want to. 126 00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 6: I do want to build on that point. 127 00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 5: At what point, this is the third year in a 128 00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:58,399 row the SEC has not been in the national Championship. 129 00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:00,920 The last time they were in the nasal championship was 130 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,920 that Georgia TCU game. At what point does the national 131 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:10,319 media take notice of that and start dinging the SEC 132 00:06:10,519 --> 00:06:12,160 and their rankings and their ratings for. 133 00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 3: That Never, sadly, because ESPN is SEC like I think 134 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,759 they should, because I mean, when you just play each 135 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,879 other in a round robin and everybody's supposed to be good, 136 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,800 then you just keep telling yourself that you're winning top 137 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,120 twenty five games because you were ring top twenty five 138 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,399 in the preseason. But I'm just going to keep doing 139 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,680 that because it brings in the money, and that's ESPN 140 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,480 is the group that's pushing that. 141 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,439 Speaker 4: Obviously, you guys, you guys are in ESPN show. 142 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 3: So I'm not trying to go crazy to keep me 143 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,639 careful here, but not trying to get trying to get 144 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:41,480 you put criddle. 145 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: But but I definitely think like either way, like the 146 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:44,720 money is. 147 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 3: What they're going for, and so they're going to keep 148 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,279 pushing the NCC agenda because that's what's good for them. 149 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:51,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't don't you dare loves in it. We are 150 00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:55,399 truth seekers. We are not We are not corrupted by 151 00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,279 filthy luker here at ESPN the Fan. You can't buy 152 00:06:59,439 --> 00:07:05,000 us we will always speak truth from our pulpit. Okay, anyway, 153 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:09,120 you know, but there is hey, you know, we cannot 154 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,519 be bought here at ESPN the Fan. Maybe at ESPN Bristol, 155 00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:14,560 not here at ESPN the Fan. You can't buy us, 156 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,480 even if we have the sole distribution rights of a team. 157 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:25,600 But okay, so where's BYU Football added all this right now? 158 00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:32,399 You made a statement deregulation is beneficial for BYU. Where 159 00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:35,240 are we trending right now with that deregulation going into 160 00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:36,240 twenty twenty six? 161 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: Well, I mean you look at what we're I guess 162 00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:42,000 what you said, Like where what is it doing for us? 163 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:42,639 Is that what you mean? 164 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? Like, so, where where do we stand amongst this 165 00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:53,120 this deregulated college football landscape going into going into twenty 166 00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:55,800 twenty six? How are you feeling about it? You looked 167 00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,959 at the schedule, You look at the preseason rankings like 168 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,439 the way too early preseason. You look at the final rankings. 169 00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:04,720 I'll say this, Kirk Signetti was one of like three 170 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,439 coaches including I think I want to say Liberties coach. No, 171 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,160 Liberty's coach was the one that that ranked BYU lowest, 172 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,839 which was sixteenth Kirk Signetti had b YU had fourteenth 173 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,120 in the nation at the end of the year. 174 00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: Oh, and I thought I liked him, dang it. 175 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,439 Speaker 2: I know I did too. I thought I like Kurt too. 176 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:20,959 I thought I did. 177 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,439 Speaker 3: I think is in a really good spot. I think. 178 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,279 Do I think they're gonna win the national championship next year? 179 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: Probably not? 180 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 3: Well, yes I do in my heart of hearts. 181 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,159 Speaker 4: But do I actually. 182 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 3: Logically think that they're gonna win the national championship? 183 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 4: No, But I think we're getting there. I think we're 184 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:38,519 getting close. 185 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,639 Speaker 3: And that's why I hope to deregulation, like we said, 186 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,080 it keeps going, because I think we need just a. 187 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,039 Speaker 4: Few more classes like this twenty twenty sixth. 188 00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:47,759 Speaker 3: Class, and then we'll be there. Like it can't be 189 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,840 just one year of recruiting the what we have and 190 00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:51,840 a couple of transferportal guys and all of a suddenly there. 191 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,000 I mean, yes, Indiana just did it. But I think 192 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,799 we're not quite there yet. But I think we're definitely 193 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:02,039 we're playoffs. Should be expecting playoffs next year based off 194 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,120 of the last two years we've had, like that should 195 00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:06,480 not maybe not expecting, but it shouldn't be out of 196 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:08,240 this conversation, and honestly we should have been in the 197 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:08,919 last two years. 198 00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 2: We got Brydon Day on the line. Cougar Sports, ESPN 199 00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:18,679 the Fan. ESPN has dropped their their projected twenty twenty 200 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,679 six college football playoff bracket. Bill Conley put this thing together, 201 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,200 and I love Bill Conley. If anyone can put together 202 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,919 a preseason way too early projected twenty twenty six college 203 00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:35,000 football playoff bracket, it's Bill Conley of ESPN. First round 204 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:39,200 game number eleven BYU at Ohio State. 205 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 6: I'll tell you right now. 206 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:46,399 Speaker 2: Winner plays number three Notre Dame, a rematch of the 207 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,559 Fighting Irish if BYU survives in advance. He's also got 208 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,759 ole Miss at nine, Miami at eight, Winter plays number 209 00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:56,639 one Indiana. He doesn't have a twelve seed at at 210 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,240 number five, Oregan Winter plays number four seed Georgia, and 211 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,240 then Texas A and m is the ten seed versus 212 00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:06,799 Texas Tech. Winner plays number two Texas. What do you 213 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,000 make of it? Is this an accurate depiction of the future? 214 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,159 Speaker 3: I mean, I think us being in the playoffs is 215 00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:14,720 the accuracy part of it. Whether or not we're playing 216 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,200 in ohiuse I mean seeding is obviously impossible in this play, 217 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,480 but I take it. I mean, yes, that's a tough 218 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:22,159 game playing, you know the buck Geyes, But at the 219 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,039 same time, if it means we're in the playoff and 220 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,240 we actually have a shot at it, we can go 221 00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:26,440 play to do it, let's let's do it. 222 00:10:27,159 --> 00:10:30,279 Speaker 2: So I amen, Amen, did that right? I mean, be 223 00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:35,480 what he returns much of their roster. Is there anything 224 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,080 that you're concerned about with the attrition via the portal 225 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,919 or the attrition via the National Football League. 226 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 3: I'm still a little bit nervous about death at corner, 227 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,720 but I think we'll start hearing some names, you know. 228 00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:51,879 I think coach Warren just barely you know about on 229 00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:53,519 staff for a week or two, so I think we'll 230 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:57,279 hopefully start hearing some stuff going on there, just because 231 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,480 behind Trey and Evan there's just not a ton of 232 00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,200 proven moditis. I think running back depth is something that 233 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,720 people are worried about. I think it definitely could have been. 234 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,399 We could have, you know, hoped for more. But I 235 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,679 think with Sion Androvesa behind LJ, I think will be okay. 236 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,120 And then you got Davon Akka and some of the 237 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,519 guys coming in. So I Honestly, like offensive line, I 238 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,440 feel good about We've got picked up some good spots there. 239 00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:23,440 Defensive line we're looking great. Linebackers were deep as ever, 240 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,080 safety's were great. So I really is just corner depth 241 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,759 and and then some running back depth a little bit. 242 00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:31,279 Speaker 2: Are you concerned about quarterback depth? 243 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,519 Speaker 6: No, but. 244 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:43,519 Speaker 2: You you tried to just convince yourself. You just said said, no, well, 245 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,600 who's who's Who's QB two? 246 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's that's a that's a cool thing. 247 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240 Is I think Enoch Watson could play himself into QB two. 248 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,440 But I think having Trayson on the team gives us 249 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,600 a very high floor for a situation. He's not this 250 00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:02,440 super high ceiling guy, but he's been in the system 251 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,519 for a long time. He knows what he's doing. It's 252 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,679 a good play all black, and then if he comes 253 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,960 in to start blown out and beats him out, that's 254 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 a great situation. So I think for what you can 255 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,360 expect in twenty twenty six in college football, I think 256 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,639 our our quarterback death is great. Obviously, if you had 257 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,399 a room that was full of all starters that were 258 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,000 just waiting in the wings, that's a great thing. 259 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 4: But that's just not what twenty twenty. 260 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 3: Six is because the guys want to go get playing 261 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,279 time somewhere else. 262 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,519 Speaker 6: Oh this, this might sound like a stupid question, but 263 00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:32,000 what about safety? Here? We are you just lost? 264 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 5: You're one of the best safety Tanner Wallace is pretty good. 265 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,200 You've got falloutown Raider coming in. But who are you 266 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,120 sticking in behind him? 267 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:47,039 Speaker 2: Well? Tommy, Tommy, he's been playing people playing, Yeah Tommy, 268 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:47,960 tom he did that. 269 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: For didn't Tommy do that? Based on needs? Basically because. 270 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,919 Speaker 2: He's a free that can play nickel Okay, okay, yeah, 271 00:12:57,399 --> 00:12:58,960 not a nickel man can play free. 272 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,759 Speaker 3: And then behind them you've also got oh my goodness, 273 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:08,080 just blanked on his name. Yeah, I'm not that gona 274 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,399 remember stuff and good there I go. 275 00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:11,879 Speaker 2: Oh you're talking about it? Safety? 276 00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, safety, I'm I just blanked on the guy just 277 00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:16,799 behind Fallatole. 278 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: You had, Matthias Leech, you had you had. 279 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 3: And are both are there yet? 280 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:24,639 Speaker 4: Yeah? 281 00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:26,919 Speaker 3: So I think with those three I feel I felt comfortable. Obviously, 282 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,399 falla Tell is a huge piece that you listen went down, 283 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,200 you'd be nervous about it. But Raider and and Tommy, 284 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,840 you know, ran it for a long and the year 285 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000 not this last year, but the year before and twenty 286 00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:38,840 twenty four. So I told something forbot ap. 287 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,279 Speaker 2: Don't sleep on my boy Joe Douglas either pound for pound, 288 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,039 the strongest man in that weight room and maybe one 289 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,600 of the fastest on that team. Don't sleep You guys 290 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,320 don't know about Joe. You haven't. You have been hearing 291 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,440 about Joe Douglas in your uh your insider reports? 292 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 3: Have you yet? 293 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: Bradon day, I haven't. 294 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: I haven't. 295 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: You're right, and watch out for Joe, baby. Don't sleep 296 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,120 on Joe. 297 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: I'll be, I'll be, I'll be listening. I'll be waiting 298 00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:04,440 for it. 299 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,919 Speaker 2: You've been waiting for it. Uh. You know he's gonna 300 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,360 He's gonna make an impact on special teams, special teams. 301 00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:09,759 Speaker 3: Uh. 302 00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:12,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. Ronald the three Man Weaver also brings up uh 303 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,799 how about Poula? How about uh? Uh one of the 304 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:21,279 Pola twins, right, and also Kaa. I like him. 305 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 6: That's safety. 306 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,559 Speaker 3: Is it is going on a mission first year and 307 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,200 maybe he's not a mission first car. 308 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,919 Speaker 2: To remember, I don't, I can I can can't remember that. 309 00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:31,759 Speaker 6: I can't remember. 310 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, we can pull that up, pull up this tran strategy. 311 00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:37,759 But he's down at. 312 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 3: Enrolled. 313 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 5: I didn't realize he did a conna isn't it's from 314 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,039 what I've read, he's he's playing. 315 00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:49,039 Speaker 2: He's playing. Oh, he's playing going to mission. Yeah, so 316 00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:51,480 he may be a mid season enrollee and he's down 317 00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:53,799 there right now, I think, at least around the program, 318 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,320 but could still be going on a mission. 319 00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 6: Yeah. 320 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's a good question which position 321 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,320 depth are you most concerned about right now? Cornerback, running back, quarterback, 322 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,480 or other? So the only the four if you're gonna 323 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,919 go other, you're okay, So you're making an argument for safety. 324 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 6: I think that maybe there's some for safety. 325 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: Okay, offensive line no Nickel, Oh yeah, Nickel, Nickel deserves 326 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,440 But Beasley, you have Jonathan Gabay, you have Cannony Breeze. 327 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, but does that play into the corner. 328 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, That's where I was kind of going With the corner. 329 00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,320 I feel like, yeah, you could, you could move over, 330 00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:31,480 Like if you have three studs, you could have Evan 331 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:35,440 played and play that slot. Also, you have oh my 332 00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:43,320 godness in the summer two. He obviously played halfway through 333 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,919 the year. He kind of came back from injury, so 334 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,600 we'll see how he did. But he did okay in spots. 335 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,200 He also looked, you know, young in spots. But I 336 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,639 think you need some depth there. 337 00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:53,039 Speaker 4: But I think the first three guys there are. 338 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,879 Speaker 5: Great, So there might be an argument for wide receiver. 339 00:15:56,559 --> 00:15:58,600 I don't know that you've got really a proven guy 340 00:15:58,679 --> 00:15:59,320 outside Parker. 341 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,399 Speaker 2: You have plenty of depth, you have wide receiver. 342 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,039 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, it's just like you've got a lot of 343 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,159 unproven guys. 344 00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: A ton of a ton of unproven. I've heard such 345 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,559 good things about Reggie, so I think I feel comfortable 346 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,480 that he'll be able to be a good player there. 347 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,039 And then obviously, I think Casper is going to be 348 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,679 interesting to see because you know he's been he was 349 00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:22,879 a super higher, highly rated recruit when he has been 350 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,399 healthy in Oregon. He was always listed as a starter 351 00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:27,320 in the too deep and then he just kept getting injured. 352 00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:29,320 So I think if we can keep him healthy, I 353 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,720 think he has the potential to be you know, wide 354 00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:34,000 receiver one with Parker wide receiver one, A one B 355 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,159 right there. But yeah, I think depth is totally fine receiver. 356 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,919 It's just yet, are we going to have the top 357 00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:41,120 end guys that we need. 358 00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:48,519 Speaker 2: Brandon, as far as uh, the culture is concerned. Uh, 359 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:51,480 you gotta be happy with everything that Klatt's built. Everyone 360 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200 was scared. Everyone was, uh, you know, was very much 361 00:16:55,279 --> 00:17:00,240 concerned about Jay Hill leaving and taking Gennaro. What have 362 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,240 been what's been the fallout of that? What impact has 363 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,880 that had on Cougar Nation, on the Cougar football team, 364 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:08,480 on anyone for that matter. 365 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 3: Way less than we all expected, I think, at least 366 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,079 that I expected. I thought colony was really the reason 367 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,400 why a lot of the guys were here, but I 368 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,559 thought they were leased the a few, like like both 369 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:20,279 of them. I thought fallat that was for sure. Jronal 370 00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:23,160 with Jay, and I thought Evan was going with Gennaro. 371 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,519 Those are like the two that I felt like as 372 00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,279 soon as they both got announced, that was like, crap, 373 00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,279 there we lose those guys. So I feel really good 374 00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:33,319 about the fact that we retained all of them. And 375 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,480 then I also think recruiting will hurt a little bit 376 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,359 because you'll have you know, Jay and Kyle will both 377 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:40,519 start recruiting a lot of the guys that they've been 378 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,640 in these first couple of classes. I think they'll recruit 379 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,039 guys that are from Utah. They'll always do it, but 380 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,799 it'll be a higher clip just because they're guys that 381 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,279 people they know already, but hopefully in the year or 382 00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:52,839 two they've kind of obviously expanded their their recruiting regions 383 00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:55,839 enough to that they're not coming for every guy out 384 00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:56,240 of Utah. 385 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,079 Speaker 2: So they're on the recruiting tra right now. That u 386 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:05,160 AU Kucker's staff Kilani, Chad kay Sioni Puja the assistant 387 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,960 head coach, and Kelly Pepinki, your defensive coordinator. I love 388 00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:12,920 seeing Kilani on the recruiting trail. I think Kilani's probably 389 00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:17,960 the best recruiter on this staff. There have been limitations 390 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:23,839 for head coaches having interpersonal face to face contact at 391 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,880 certain periods. I think some of those those those bylaws 392 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,759 are being lifted and now you can get out and 393 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,559 pound payment. I wonder how much of an impact this 394 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,599 is going to have on Billy's recruiting classes. And I 395 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,759 think it made a huge impact obviously on top of 396 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,119 the wins right, winning cures everything. But I know Kilani 397 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,119 was able to pound payment a little bit more last 398 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,119 year with some of these by laws being lifted by 399 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,039 the nc double A and being able to get his 400 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,759 boots on the ground. How impactful is it to have 401 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,519 Kilani out recruiting right. 402 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 3: Now, And honestly, I hadn't heard about that, but I 403 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:03,599 think that's huge. Clonnie's such a good relationship guy and 404 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,119 will obviously recruit so well. I think something that actually 405 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,240 had just been thought it, thinking about yesterday, yesterday or 406 00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:12,839 two days ago, was how good of a pitch it 407 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,279 is to recruits that we retained everybody, Like the guys 408 00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,200 that are here want to stay here. Yeah, Like that's 409 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,039 a pretty big It's like, hey, out of all the 410 00:19:20,039 --> 00:19:22,799 schools in the FBS, we basically had the highest attention rate. 411 00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:25,480 Why do you think that's true? You should probably come here? 412 00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:27,279 And we're having all the guys that decided that they 413 00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:30,160 were gonna go somewhere else come back to us, like 414 00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:32,680 Lyons obviously, like Uka back in the day. Like, there's 415 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,839 a lot everybody that comes to us, the guys who 416 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,160 snubbed us the first and everybody that did come to 417 00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:39,400 us ends up staying with us. That's such a good 418 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,400 recruiting pitch, honestly. 419 00:19:41,279 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you wonder how many of the guys that 420 00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:47,039 did leave the YU this last this last season regret it. 421 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,319 Minus Kielan Marion, I don't I think there was more guys. 422 00:19:50,519 --> 00:19:53,000 I think I think Keelan probably did not regret av me. 423 00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:55,000 He mean, it's a National champions game and he was 424 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,039 one of the best wide receivers on that Miami team. 425 00:19:58,079 --> 00:20:01,519 He was a kickoff returnery. Apparently he's got a beautiful 426 00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:04,799 girlfriend that that someone someone sent me, like a picture. 427 00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:06,759 He's like, well, no, wonder they went to Miami, Like, 428 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:09,160 we can't compete with this look. I don't know, man, 429 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,440 he he got paid a pretty penny to go out 430 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,119 there too. We love Keelan. Once Cougar, always Cougar, But 431 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,880 apart from Keelan, I feel like there's probably a pretty 432 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,119 big list of guys that they have regretted it. 433 00:20:19,279 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 6: Jake probably doesn't. Jake made the playoffs. 434 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: You don't think Jake believes he would have made the 435 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,440 playoffs with b YU. 436 00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he does. 437 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 7: But that situation is kind of different because Jake wanted 438 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,799 to stay, but he also wanted to play football. I'm know, 439 00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:34,960 I'm jumping in that's that's so tough because of the 440 00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:38,440 that wasn't a It's so because I think the team 441 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:41,400 wanted to keep him, but the rules and the bylaws 442 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,519 that they're at b YU it was a different decision. 443 00:20:43,599 --> 00:20:45,240 So he I feel like that one was just we 444 00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:46,079 gotta let that one go. 445 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,319 Speaker 6: Personally, for me, that's tough. 446 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: I ain't letting it go. We live in the past 447 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,519 year at ESP in the fame, Jake, I don't think 448 00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:56,559 wanted to Carleno. Matt Carlino said on our shirts. Yeah, 449 00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:57,839 I don't live in the past. I'm like, well, you 450 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,559 know what we do. I have a we huh. 451 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 6: We haven't left nineteen eighty four. 452 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 2: That's what we do. 453 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 7: Man, Jake didn't want to leave. But I think I 454 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,000 don't think Jake wanted to leave YU. But he also 455 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,680 he wouldn't have been able to play. There was no 456 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,519 way he would have been able to leave BUYU to 457 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:13,599 Gloria victory because been at that point, when he was 458 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,640 that far out, he wouldn't have been the starting quarterback. 459 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: I think everybody on this call agrees with that. Yeah, 460 00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:19,160 that's true. 461 00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:22,279 Speaker 3: I agree and and but I think the thing is, 462 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,000 I think the only two that left that wanted to 463 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,319 leave the YU last year were Keeling and. 464 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 4: Oh hel no name today. 465 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. 466 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 2: I could tell you're an offensive line and you got 467 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,640 CTE just like me. Man. 468 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think those two are the only 469 00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:45,400 two that actually chose, maybe not chose to, like, did 470 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,279 it because they wanted to. I think everybody else that 471 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,359 leaves is usually because they want playing time somewhere else. 472 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,079 So yes, they want to leave, but it's not because 473 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,240 they if they were playing here, they'd rather be here 474 00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:55,920 type of guys. 475 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think Crew Wakeley wish she would 476 00:21:58,519 --> 00:21:59,680 have said Crew Wakeley does. 477 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true. 478 00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 6: You know what I mean? 479 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 2: I think I believe I wonder. I don't think Miles Davis, 480 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,000 you know, I think I think Miles was happy. I 481 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:13,720 think he's happy, you know, I think he's happy. 482 00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 3: And I think he fits into that category though, of 483 00:22:16,279 --> 00:22:18,480 guys that if he was playing at BAUS, wu'd rather 484 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:20,000 be a b AU. But he decided to go somewhere 485 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,319 from more playing time, and I think that's happy about it. 486 00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:24,039 But it wasn't like he chose to be do a 487 00:22:24,079 --> 00:22:26,480 you because he wanted to besides just playing time of situation. 488 00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: Yes, I think Michael Harper probably happy with his decision. 489 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,440 He went out and balled out. Now he's at Iowa 490 00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:35,400 State bounce back. How does he still have eligibility that's 491 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,400 none of your damn business. And I think you're stay 492 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,559 out of his personal affairs. 493 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 6: No, I'm just saying that man has been around. 494 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: I have no idea. 495 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 6: As I remember. 496 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: I have no idea. 497 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 3: I think it's seventh, his seventh year, I think is 498 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,279 what it's supposed to be. Next year is his seventh 499 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:50,119 year in college football. 500 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 5: I don't know how amsha back to back season ending injuries. 501 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,319 Speaker 6: That's two years that okay? 502 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,519 Speaker 2: If he gave me like a year to work out, 503 00:22:58,559 --> 00:23:00,240 I wonder if I could get in good enough to 504 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,839 play college football again. I don't think I could. 505 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 3: There's more guys doing that right now than in their 506 00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:06,799 training order, the temporary training order stuff. 507 00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 2: There you go that maybe I don't know. Man, my 508 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:13,960 old joints, I don't know if they're built for a high, 509 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,039 high level activity anymore.

We have a lot of different packages for missionaries, 531 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,119 but that Curdl fifteen makes it so you basically get 532 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,480 a package price, but you can mix and match however 533 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:13,599 you want to do it to get what you need 534 00:24:13,839 --> 00:24:15,799 and what you what you are, what you're missing in that. 535 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,440 And then we always have you know, we have the 536 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,400 Elevate suit. We talk about a lot in the Tempa shirt. 537 00:24:20,079 --> 00:24:24,599 Absolutely incredible.

Projecting the twenty 546 00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:46,079 twenty Sister college Football Payoff bracket, Bill Conley of ESPN 547 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,799 putting b Layers an eleven seed versus number six seed 548 00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:51,279 Ohio State the Buckeyes. 549 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 6: I would take that right now, you take it. I 550 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:54,720 would take it. 551 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 2: Take it. And they give us a Notre Dame. He's 552 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,079 really high on Notre Dame at that three seed. 553 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 6: That that's interesting. Notre Dame. 554 00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:06,319 Speaker 5: I don't know if they have a schedule to get 555 00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:09,920 shit a three seed. There's a conference affiliation. 556 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 2: That do you think? See this is I I disagree 557 00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:15,880 with you. I'm not that I disagree with their strength 558 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,440 of schedule. I don't disagree with there. What I disagree 559 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,799 with is you saw the knee jerk reaction of the committee. 560 00:25:24,279 --> 00:25:29,400 This year when they didn't cater to the SEC. That's true, right, 561 00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:33,039 So they went like they they are. They're all over 562 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:36,480 just jocksniff and freaking Greg Sankey and the SEC like, 563 00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:39,480 oh well it's good five, five and we could consider six, 564 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:43,319 we can consider like all this hullabaloo, all this you know, 565 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,720 tom foolery and poppy cock. They're gonna do that. They 566 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:52,240 they they they chopped off the leg. They they got 567 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,319 punched Notre Dame this year. They said, ah, you know, 568 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,119 we're gonna push you to a conference. I don't think 569 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,599 they're gonna do it again. I think they're gonna have 570 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,599 respect for the quitting Irish and they're gonna say, you 571 00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:02,960 know what, they're gonna give you a proper seeding because 572 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,799 the strength the schedule, they're gonna be too good. They're 573 00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:08,519 not gonna lose. They're gonna be undefeated. And then they're 574 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,240 losing pro bo. Oh okay, well they couldn't. Okay, they're 575 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,039 eleven and one, so they're not gonna be They can't 576 00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:14,680 be a three seed. 577 00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 6: They can't. 578 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 2: Don't be surprised at BYU. That's their only loss. Yeah, 579 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,519 Notre Dame is a good football. They're good they're a 580 00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:24,079 good football team and a good program. 581 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,279 Speaker 5: Legacy has some some bargaining power with ESPN because that's 582 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:30,079 what they have to deal with. 583 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,759 Speaker 2: The human nature is reactionary. Does that make sense? Like 584 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,799 this was a reaction this year having five SEC teams 585 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:46,119 in to what happened last year because they got left 586 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,079 out of the club. After all we've done for this, 587 00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:53,440 after after all we've been through, all we've done and 588 00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:55,079 what we've produced, all the equity. 589 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 6: That's all you have to say to me. 590 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 2: You know what I mean, That's what they did. So 591 00:26:58,319 --> 00:27:02,039 they're going to they're gonna they're gonna revert back to 592 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,759 Oh yeah wait, Notre Dame needs to be in. That's 593 00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:09,920 what they're gonna do, guarantee you. Because with Miami as 594 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,160 a twelve seed getting they were twelve seed, right yeah? Sorry, 595 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,039 yeah yeah yeah, because Jamu was the twelve seed. Yeah right, 596 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,200 Like I feel like, you know, that is a really 597 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,680 good data point of like, hey, like you can make 598 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,680 an argument that Notre Dame deserves to be in two. 599 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,279 Speaker 6: Right, it's there. I don't know how strong it is. 600 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can make an argument for is what 601 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,279 I'm getting at. Right, they're a good team, They were 602 00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:42,720 a good team this year, and they probably could have 603 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,240 won some football games. They were extremely talented. They had 604 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,559 arguably the best running back in college football. Running Backs, 605 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:55,920 premiere running backs, elite running backs in college football many times, 606 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:02,799 okay historically speaking, are much more powerful, much more impactful 607 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,400 than quarterbacks in college football. Really, I'm telling you right now, 608 00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:14,000 college football is still can still be very much dominated 609 00:28:14,599 --> 00:28:17,160 by a an elite running back. 610 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 6: So are you gonna say, let's let's put this to 611 00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:20,960 the test. 612 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 2: Look at Alabama with so many just borderline talented quarterbacks, 613 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,880 winning natties through running backs and good defense. 614 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 5: Well, let's let's look at this in a by lens. 615 00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:36,519 If you're gonna stand on this take, I am yeah, 616 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,119 who was more valuable to the team? 617 00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 6: Taysom Hill or Jamal Williams. 618 00:28:43,039 --> 00:28:47,039 Speaker 2: Jamal in twenty sixteen, just throughout the career. 619 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:47,759 Speaker 6: No. 620 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,799 Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen. 621 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,119 Speaker 6: Jamal was way twenty sixteen. For sure, he was fourteen. 622 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: I mean when Taysum was was healthy in two thousand, 623 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,720 you know, thirteen throughout the entirety season. Do you make 624 00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:03,319 an ur Taysum was the most valuable player because he 625 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:06,400 was just so dynamic. But you know, Taysum's the outlier. 626 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,960 Taysom's literally a running back. Taysom is the fifth best 627 00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:11,799 running back in b Way football history. 628 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 6: So so you'd take you would take a premiere. Let's 629 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,079 say you take you would take a premiere. 630 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,079 Speaker 2: No one's ever been, no one's ever been, You've never 631 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,440 seen anyone like Taysom Hill. Taysom Hill is the most 632 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:28,039 unique football player in the modern era, like of college football, 633 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:33,359 of the NFL game too. No one plays football like 634 00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:36,880 Taysom Hill. So so I I I'm gonna push back 635 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,720 on you on this. What I'm saying is Tyler Ow's year. Okay, 636 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,559 in many ways in twenty twenty one, was the best 637 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,559 player on the offense and defense can buy special teams like, 638 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:52,200 he was literally the best player and he got you 639 00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:54,279 to double digit wins. I'm not trying to take anything 640 00:29:54,319 --> 00:29:57,039 away from quarterback play. Okay, they're they're good that you 641 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,839 need good quarterback play. But there's no doubt that Tylar 642 00:30:01,359 --> 00:30:05,519 Tylar was the MVP, and you could make an argument 643 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,039 that l J was actually the most valuable player this year. 644 00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:11,920 You can make an argument for that because as soon 645 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,359 as LJ went down, you know what I mean, He's 646 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,160 the offensive player of the Year in the Big Twelve. 647 00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:20,720 He goes out in the Texas Tech game, we struggle. 648 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,880 Bear bachmar Yes also got injured in in uh In 649 00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:29,119 in the second game, and they they they they still struggled, right. 650 00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:33,039 So it's not cut and dry. But I think you 651 00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:36,039 can make an argument that l J was the most 652 00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:39,640 valuable player on the BA football team. I think you 653 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,880 make an agree there. Yeah, I think you make it 654 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,119 like I'm on sides. I'm not gonna be like, oh no, 655 00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:48,839 I'm not gonna sway. L J when he was at 656 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,839 his best, was was really a good player. There's a 657 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,799 reason why he was voted as the Big twelve Offensive 658 00:30:55,839 --> 00:31:00,400 Player of the Year. And and it was a consensus vote. 659 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,200 No one said. Coaches that had been coached for a 660 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,359 long time, they were saying, oh no, Bear is now 661 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,079 They said, LJ freaking Martin. He was the gas that 662 00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:12,680 powered this offensive engine. And Bear was really good too, 663 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,480 But LJ. I think I give him a slight LJ 664 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,920 was good. I give him a slight advantage there, and 665 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:22,640 and and you need him to be at his best necession. 666 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,920 So what I'm getting at is like running backs, I 667 00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:29,079 think you know my thesis year is I think elite 668 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,319 running backs and going back to Notre Dame. Notre Dame 669 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,599 last this last year was gonna win, was gonna win 670 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,039 football games, and they did on the back end with 671 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,119 one of the best running backs in college football and 672 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,480 a good defense. So anyway, we'll go to break, don't 673 00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:45,039 go anywhere more to get to on a beautiful Thursday, 674 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,519 January twenty second edition of Cougar Sports.
