1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,639
Speaker 1: I've paid my dude.

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,279
Speaker 2: Time after time.

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: When Ben Crittle isn't breaking down Kobe amounts of film

4
00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:18,480
on his beloved Cougar football team, he's talking Cougar sports

5
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:21,039
and he's doing it right here on one O, three,

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:29,600
nine and ninety eight three ESPN the Fan.

7
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: My oh yeah, Im, we're talking show.

8
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: You're the Robbery Champions, the Holy Work Champions, three and

9
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,600
all in the last three Baby, You're the champions in

10
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:59,880
the Holy War seven and zero. On the season, the

11
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:06,000
head into a road game versus Iowas State, I always

12
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,599
State is coming off of buy though. That's it's got

13
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:11,120
a little it's it's put a little fear into my heart.

14
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,480
But man, it feels good to win a rivalry game

15
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:18,799
once again and to be on top, to be on

16
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:21,400
top of the state. I don't think it looks too

17
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,120
well for the youths, not only for next season, but

18
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:27,000
in the seasons to come. Not to say that they're

19
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,879
not going to continue to be competitive. I just don't

20
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:31,920
think they're going to be able to win at the

21
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
level they've been winning at over the last you know,

22
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,120
thirteen years or so. While they were the biggest show

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,879
in town in the state, the p four affiliation, P

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,640
five affiliation. All the resources the twenty thirty forty million

25
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:52,560
year over year that could be implemented and spent within

26
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:56,640
their organization. Now there's a free market, capitalistic and il

27
00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:59,480
transfer portal world that they're having to compete into. It

28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,840
got a whole lot more difficult. It's got a whole

29
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,599
lot more difficult for the University of Utah in my opinion.

30
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,000
And BYU is in the driver's seat now of this

31
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:16,400
rivaly game. BYU is going to dictate how recruiting is

32
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:20,199
done in the state of Utah. Now BYU will dictate

33
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:25,960
how it's done within that the LDS home too. Now,

34
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,800
there's still going to be certain players that want to

35
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,240
go to the U, just like there were certain players

36
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,000
during independence that wanted to go to BYU rather than

37
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,879
Utah even though they were going on a winning streak.

38
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,840
So they'll still have their guys that they can get.

39
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:49,400
But it is completely absurd to put your money on

40
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,400
the UTE right now for the future of the near

41
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,039
and far future when both of these teams are in

42
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,240
the same conference. Brett always bringing the hammer. That stat

43
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:00,919
kind of shocked you a little bit earlier today when

44
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,479
BYU and Utah are in the same conference. Kyle Whittingham

45
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:08,360
is three and five in the rivalry game, not obviously

46
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,159
eleven and six. That's the difference. That's the biggest difference

47
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:13,680
in this rivalry game. We're on the same playing field.

48
00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:17,240
Now we're on the we're on the same level with resources.

49
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 4: The college football leitists, they don't want you to know

50
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:22,599
that number. They don't. They want to keep it from you.

51
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,599
They want you to think that the almighty never losing

52
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,039
to BYU, Kyle Whittingham is still rocking and rolling as

53
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:33,039
rowdy as ever. And that's not the case. If I'm

54
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:36,280
not mistaken, Kyle Whittingham hasn't beat Utah this decade, hasn't

55
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,360
be BYU this decade, that's right, right, Yeah, because we

56
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,599
didn't play in twenty twenty, twenty twent and A lost,

57
00:03:41,639 --> 00:03:44,080
and then the last two years we've won. I mean, some

58
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
could say that maybe that's why they didn't schedule us

59
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,120
this decade earlier, because they were afraid. Perhaps I don't

60
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,199
want to put that out there. I'm just saying they

61
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,800
didn't schedule him for a reason. And ever since they

62
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,439
stopped scheduling BYU, they haven't been able to beat BYU.

63
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,919
Maybe maybe Mark Garland really just knew what was coming.

64
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,360
He said, you know what, I just can't afford. Also,

65
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:07,199
can we talk about the dichotomy of last year. You

66
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:11,400
have Mark Harlan running out, doing his whole press conference,

67
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:13,560
doing all that stuff, and then the flip side is

68
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:17,800
BOU also has an elite academic executive who is also

69
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:22,120
on the field for a completely different reason crowdsurfing, baby.

70
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,560
How I mean, Look, we just do things differently at BYU.

71
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,920
I guess we're not angry. We're just having fun. BYU

72
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,639
owning the Holy War this decade, that is for sure.

73
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Look, there's a lot to take in here as it

74
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,439
pertains to why byus on top and Utah's now zero

75
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,319
to three over the last three outings. One thing I

76
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:53,600
will say is that leadership matters. Vision matters. Your vision

77
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:56,720
of what this athletic department is supposed to be, this

78
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,480
football football program is supposed to be, the students academic

79
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:06,839
and spiritual experience is supposed to be. There were a

80
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:11,480
few moves that were made in the early twenty twenties.

81
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,920
Keith four Kink, VP of Advancement, took over and he

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,439
oversees athletics as well as BYU TVB you could be

83
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,839
what you can. It's essentially the branding arm of BYU.

84
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:26,600
You had a new leader in LDS Church Services over

85
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,199
educational services, Elder Gilbert, So you have Elder Gilbert coming

86
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,720
to his calling, Keith wour Kink being hired as the

87
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,600
VP of Advancement. And then in two thousand twenty three,

88
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:45,360
May first Shane Reeves, the university president okay came around

89
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:51,079
and all three of these moves in combination with also

90
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,600
Tom handing the baton officially over to Brian Santiago. And

91
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,800
don't get a twisted Brian has been heavily involved since

92
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:01,680
you know, two nineteen twenty twenty when a lot of

93
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,639
these moves have been were being made because Tom was delegating.

94
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,759
It cannot be understated, it can be, It can't be

95
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,439
overstated how impactful the vision of these men are, because

96
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,199
without a vision, you perish if you don't value the

97
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,120
whole person, which includes athletics, truly value it, be passionate

98
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,199
about it, being whole minded. At times in the past

99
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,160
you had people that and no offense to them, like

100
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:32,360
they wanted athletics probably to do well, but they weren't

101
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:36,639
good at aligning the silos. Those that have listened to

102
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,519
my show for over a decade now, since twenty and twelve,

103
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,319
twenty eleven, I have I have coined this phrase, align

104
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:51,279
the silos. And every institution and every corporation there are silos.

105
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,879
Those that have worked in corporate America, okay, those that

106
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,399
have even worked in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a little bit

107
00:06:57,439 --> 00:06:58,959
more fleet of foot, and you can get alignment a

108
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,680
whole lot more quickly because you're not being overshadowed by

109
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:11,920
certain politics and an enmity within those political silos. Once

110
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:14,079
you align the silos, though, and you get a vision

111
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,240
of what you want within your organization, you can move fast.

112
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:23,120
You can move with execution, and you can move in

113
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,839
such a way that allows you to win at a

114
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,720
higher level. And that's what we're seeing right now. We've

115
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,879
seen alignment of the silos, where you combine all these facets,

116
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,399
all of them are equally important. Spirituality very important, right,

117
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,600
you know, in the moral ethics and code that we

118
00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:42,279
abide by at the university and within the faith academics,

119
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:49,160
finding truth through scientific discovery, peer reviewed right reading from

120
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,079
all good books, shall we right? You need that you

121
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,560
need to be social. Our relationships in this life determine

122
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,319
how long we live. Do you know that no other

123
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:07,040
thing determines longevity of life? Then enriching synergistic relationships, so

124
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,839
the social aspect of our lives in church and in

125
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:13,360
our communities is an imperative if you want to live

126
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:15,399
a long and fruitful life.

127
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,399
Speaker 5: Surrounding yourself with greatness, right.

128
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: As Chad Lewis teaches us. Right. And then the talents

129
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,399
that we are given, also physical talents, athletic talents, all

130
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:28,920
of these things matter, so you'll talk about aligning the silos.

131
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:32,200
That's what you're seeing in full effect right now. And

132
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,519
it's a great day to be a Cougar if you're

133
00:08:34,519 --> 00:08:36,639
a fan, if you're an alum, if you're a coach,

134
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,960
if you're a player, if you're a student, if you're

135
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,720
an administrator, Because there's alignment here. Everyone's lifting, everyone's supporting.

136
00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:47,320
If you're a donor, you're you're crumble. You're a donor,

137
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720
you're like, i'll pay the fifty thousand dollars fine. So

138
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,279
Cougar fans can run onto the field and have a

139
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:57,200
core memory in a core place with core people in

140
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:01,120
their lives. That's what it's about. Right now, guys, you talk.

141
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,399
Speaker 5: About leadership, Ben and Uh, as far as I can

142
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,159
remember in the near future, I have I've thought that

143
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:11,360
Utah kind of led with the coaching staff as a whole.

144
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:14,639
I think they were maybe a little bit better as

145
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,159
far as uh, you know, uh coaching the players and

146
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,720
getting them ready more resources.

147
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: They could get better coaches at times.

148
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,919
Speaker 4: Right and right now, I think b YU as a whole.

149
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 5: Has a lot better coaching staff and uh and you

150
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,360
can see it. You can see how Jay and the

151
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,159
defensive staff has come in and and uh got they

152
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:41,320
have their kids here now and there. You can see

153
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,840
that their evaluations of talent is is just incredible. With

154
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,200
volatile you know you mentioned earlier. You know, we we

155
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:53,399
thought maybe it would take a couple of years, but uh,

156
00:09:53,799 --> 00:09:56,480
you know, Jay has him going in here two.

157
00:09:56,879 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Uh B Hammer thoughts momentary follow up.

158
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: Sometimes in life you feel as though things are not

159
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:10,120
going your way, and you get turned down for a job,

160
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,960
or you get turned down for a date, or you

161
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,399
get rejected from whatever it is the thing that you

162
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,919
felt like was supposed to be yours. And I go

163
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,519
back to this conversation we're having with the stars aligning

164
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,919
with people and groups aligning. I remember many a times

165
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:26,120
feeling like, why in the world can be why you

166
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,720
not get into a conference? Why couldn't we get into

167
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,039
the Big twelve the first time? Why couldn't we get

168
00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:34,559
into the PAC twelve? Why did nobody want BYU? And

169
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,679
then you see the fall of the PAC twelve and

170
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,320
you see the rise of the Big twelve, and then

171
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,639
you get invited to the Big twelve and you realize

172
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,320
it's it's good the way it is. You wouldn't have

173
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:45,519
wanted to have to make a decision. You saw the

174
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:48,279
PAC twelve as a sinking ship before you even got

175
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:50,840
thought about getting into the boat of the Big twelve.

176
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:52,039
Speaker 1: It would have been nice to be in the pack

177
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:53,879
towe and get that money. But that being said, but

178
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,200
here's the deal. We the PAC twelve was never the

179
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,559
eighties loved me? Why you the administrators never liked BYU

180
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:07,200
because of its its academic institution and the theology and

181
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,480
the religion that's associated with period.

182
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 4: Sure, plus we were Packed twelve self champions before we

183
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360
were even in the back co champs. Baby yeah, yeah,

184
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:16,080
So we didn't even need to be in the conference.

185
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,519
We had already won it. So all of those things

186
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,559
come together. And obviously Bou has the infrastructure. Everything's great.

187
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,799
And then you get into the Big twelve. And then

188
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:28,159
because you're in the Big twelve and because of the

189
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,639
branding that you've already worked on, I mean, let's be honest.

190
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,679
For a lot of years, Utah included people use the

191
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:38,679
weaponized the honor code against BYU. Yes, and they said,

192
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,720
you don't want to go there because you don't want

193
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,960
to be held to those standards. Well, now look how

194
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:46,120
and you can you can call it God, you can

195
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,080
call it Bou, you can call it whatever you want.

196
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,240
But look how the the view of the honor code

197
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,519
has been flipped around. That's why Ali Khalifa came to Bou.

198
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,639
That's why Fucini Triori came to BYU. That's why aj

199
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:01,000
Debotsa came to b Au. Because you have parents to say, oh,

200
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:02,399
I know they're going to be taking care of him,

201
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:04,840
They're gonna be safe at that school. The honor code

202
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,399
that for years was weaponized against BYU to tell kids, hey,

203
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,639
well you can't go do the Arizona Arizona State party.

204
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: It up.

205
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,799
Speaker 4: The rob Gronkowsi type of schooling. If you go to

206
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:18,159
BYU and now athletes are realizing, oh, I actually.

207
00:12:17,919 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: Don't want to do that.

208
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,519
Speaker 4: I want to go and just focus on ball. So

209
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:24,919
the stars have aligned in so many ways, and then

210
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,000
the cherry on top is b Yu's ready. Now they're

211
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,639
in the Big twelve and it's a skyrocket.

212
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 5: I interviewed LJ last week and LJ I asked him

213
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,240
that what are some of the reasons you came and

214
00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:40,240
he talked about the focus. He you know, he didn't

215
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,320
want to come here at a party. He wanted to

216
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,240
come here and work.

217
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's that's what I mean. Look, we've

218
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,120
been we've been harping on this for a long time.

219
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,440
If you've been following the show. The terminology I've used

220
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,279
is distractions. Do you want the distractions of life that

221
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,080
have little to know ROI, then go elsewhere. If you're

222
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,159
not about that action, if you're not about that business,

223
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,559
then maybe b YU is not for you. Don't force

224
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,120
a square peg into a round hole. More and more

225
00:13:12,159 --> 00:13:17,120
people are becoming familiar with BYU's game and the virtuiferous

226
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,919
nature of it, and you're seeing more and more high

227
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,000
level recruits want to be a part of it. There's

228
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:25,799
been a flip of the script. If you will, b

229
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,240
YU is cool again. I'm telling you right now. G

230
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:30,399
Man was in here earlier and he grew up in

231
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,799
the eighties, right, BAU was very cool. ESPN Okay, ESPN

232
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:42,919
and BYU lived and breed their inception into the college

233
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:46,000
football landscape with at the same time, right eighty four,

234
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,919
when BAU became a national champion, Nike ESPN to b

235
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:55,399
A that the Swoos and Brigham, Phil Knight and Lavelle,

236
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,440
they were like arm and armhand in hand, like they

237
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,519
grew up with each other. Okay. One of the manufacturers

238
00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,919
made manufacturers that I work with, DonJoy Orthopedics. B WAU

239
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:11,159
was one of the first to implement prophylactic biomechanical supports

240
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,679
across their entire team, bracing supports, compression, where modalities, et cetera.

241
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,159
They were always at the front, forefront. They were cool,

242
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,720
and then somewhere along the road line they weren't as cool. Now.

243
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,720
B Yu's cool again, and there are many more wins

244
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:30,480
to come with the champions. Right now, you gotta keep

245
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,720
your eye on the prize right now, because Iowa states

246
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,320
on the docket, Iowa States right around the corner.

247
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:37,879
Speaker 4: Uh.

248
00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:41,279

the West where you can hike, bike, razor and horseback

262
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:26,559
ride through them hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. You will not

263
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,440
be disappointed. I love Bryce Canyon. I think you're gonna

264
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,399
love staying at Ruby's in. Now, Bear, what was your

265
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:47,200
first rivalry experience? Like, all right, we're gonna get that

266
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:51,440
dialed up here momentarily. But Bear's always been a stoic

267
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:54,080
we've had him on the show, like we had him

268
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,720
on the show when he first committed to b Yu,

269
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:02,919
super soft spoken, like not over the elaborative in his

270
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,919
in his responses. You know, we we're in the business

271
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:12,080
of asking questions. So it was like one after the other, right,

272
00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:15,840
one after the other. And so even to this day,

273
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,679
like he hasn't really uh been all that elaborative. He's

274
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,519
becoming a little bit more loose though. Listening as he

275
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:25,879
discussed his first rivaly experience.

276
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,759
Speaker 6: And but yeah, it was just crazy. It was exhilarating.

277
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 7: There's a lot of emotions, but you know it was

278
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:40,279
good to get the win, good to get the win.

279
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: There you go.

280
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: I will tell you this, and I love Bear and

281
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,240
he gets this. This interview gets better as we go along.

282
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,759
But he said, glad we got to win, to finish

283
00:16:50,799 --> 00:16:54,159
at least five or six questions. But again, like g

284
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,799
Man talked about earlier, that's not him being a jerk

285
00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:01,480
or disrespectful like that is just truly how his brain works.

286
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:05,599
He's not really concerned about the flashing lights or all

287
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:11,720
of the big things. He's really solely focused on executing

288
00:17:11,759 --> 00:17:14,960
the play and winning football games and scoring points like.

289
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,599
Speaker 1: He's he's not.

290
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 4: I mean even the hurdle, Like, I don't think he

291
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,279
hurdled because he's like, oh, this is gonna be sick.

292
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,480
I think he hurdled because in his mind, he truly

293
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:25,000
thought there are only so many ways that I can

294
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,839
get around this individual, and the best one, the most

295
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:30,920
efficient one, will be for me to go over him.

296
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,279
That's just how his brain works.

297
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: And I have stress fractures from all the helmets I've

298
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,920
taken to my shins thus far over the last five games,

299
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,799
six games of the season. This man is taking on.

300
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,279
He's like a he's like a tie boxer, you know,

301
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,720
just taking like just beatings to his shins, just callousing

302
00:17:50,759 --> 00:17:52,559
those shins. He's like, all right, enough is enough. I

303
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:55,119
gotta jump over this. Dude. You were at Stanford a

304
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,920
few months ago, Bart, this is likely different than what

305
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,640
you thought things would be, like not too long ago.

306
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:01,680
Has it set in yet?

307
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:02,799
Speaker 2: Yeah?

308
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:03,279
Speaker 6: I guess so.

309
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 7: I mean, uh, it's it's a crazy kind of roller coaster.

310
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:11,640
But you know we were we were seven and oh

311
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:13,359
last year, and so a lot of the guys are

312
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:16,039
are calm and in Miami, Holy cow, you know, set

313
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:16,279
it and no.

314
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 6: But you know, we've been here before and we just

315
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:18,920
got to keep going.

316
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,599
Speaker 1: He's like, man, we're seven, and oh everyone else like, yeah,

317
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:22,960
we were seven. Oh last year. He's like, oh, man,

318
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,640
all right, we're supposed to be here. This is what

319
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,400
we were supposed to do.

320
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,799
Speaker 4: I guess you can clearly tell this is the first

321
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:30,319
time that the thought that was posed to him has

322
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,680
ever crossed his mind. He's never thought, oh, yeah, it

323
00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:35,480
is weird that I thought I would be at standard

324
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:37,519
right now and I'm not. Oh yeah, it is crazy

325
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:40,480
that we're seven. Like he truly just doesn't think about

326
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:42,519
these things the way that we do. And that's what

327
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:44,799
makes Bear so singular and so unique.

328
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: You seem frustrated in the final seconds with the first half.

329
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,000
Bear what happened there?

330
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was you know, it's a tough scenario.

331
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 7: We had no timeouts and you know, so that was

332
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,319
that and and you know, but we went a putting

333
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,720
up a field goal and and uh, you know, three

334
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,000
points in this game is uh, it was a big deal.

335
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,839
Speaker 1: You know, if you're going to criticize anything, you can

336
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,400
criticize the end of the half. And then the end

337
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,000
of the game. Uh, in the time management and maybe

338
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:17,160
some of the certain play calls, et cetera. I do

339
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,440
you think you know A Rod and Bear po probably

340
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,640
both need to evaluate and practice this coaching staff needs

341
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,559
to practice a little bit more two minute drill going

342
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,359
in how you want to operate when you have little

343
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,160
to no time remaining and how many timeouts do you have?

344
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,839
As Coach Peterson brought up in the war room, Coach

345
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,880
Peterson one of the greatest coaches in college football, uh

346
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,440
in the modern era. You know, he said, look like

347
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,039
it's obviously they they haven't practiced that enough. They don't

348
00:19:51,079 --> 00:19:55,880
have simple lexicon that is executable in those situations, and

349
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,799
the time management was a little off. It's okay to

350
00:19:58,279 --> 00:20:00,720
it's okay to criticize that. You can give a ton

351
00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:03,720
of praise to a Rod his play calling, Bear Bachmeyer,

352
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:08,279
his execution, his playmaking ability, the right handed Tim Tebow

353
00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:11,240
better throwing Tim Tebow that's built like a centaur. You

354
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:16,039
can compliment all those things. Aaron Roderick, the bespectacled booth

355
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,079
strategist up there, he's a junkie of the film. But

356
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,480
they need to practice out a little bit more, and

357
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:24,359
there needs to be some criticism. They need to allocate

358
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,720
a little bit more bandwidth to that.

359
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: The bigger issue for me is not what happened in

360
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,119
the final two minutes, because this same issue that I'm

361
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,319
talking about that I'm referencing also happened in the second half,

362
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,079
and it also happened in a number of other of

363
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,559
BYU's games this season, and that is using timeouts when

364
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:46,400
I don't know that they're absolutely necessary. Because look, the

365
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,200
biggest problem, the reason they couldn't do what they wanted

366
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,039
in those final two minutes is not it's I don't

367
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:53,839
know that it was necessarily a Bear's fault that he

368
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,839
didn't get the play call or that he didn't communicate.

369
00:20:56,039 --> 00:20:57,960
The problem was you got to your two minutes row

370
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,079
and you didn't have any timeouts left because you you

371
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,960
had used them in other scenarios. Now, this may not

372
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:04,960
be have been the worst case scenario because some of

373
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,559
those timeouts, we know, we're used for fourth down stops,

374
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,000
which I'm good with. Yeah, but you've had other games

375
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:13,440
this season where you burn timeouts early and a half

376
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,480
and you didn't absolutely need to, and then you got

377
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,119
to the end of the half it ended up not

378
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,000
burning them, and it hasn't burned them so far this season.

379
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,240
But I do feel like, and that goes to some

380
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,039
of what you talked about, which is communication. To me,

381
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,960
that communication needs to be happening earlier on in the

382
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,480
half so that way you don't have to burn those

383
00:21:31,519 --> 00:21:35,119
timeouts because that could be something. It hasn't shown itself yet,

384
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,640
but it could be something that shows itself in a

385
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,519
game later down the line when you absolutely need that

386
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:41,759
timeout and you don't have it.

387
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:44,599
Speaker 1: If you convert a fourth down, right and you've utilized

388
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,799
the timeout in order to game plan for that fourth

389
00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:50,680
down conversion, you should have probably another play or two

390
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,160
called for when you do, you're planning your forecasting and

391
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,839
you get up and maybe they did right. So if

392
00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:01,119
you're gonna run the ball once, great, Okay, you have

393
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,920
to be in a hurry up mode. If you're playing

394
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,519
on running the ball three straight times because you have to,

395
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,599
you're gonna you gotta clock it on that and rather

396
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:11,240
than running it on that third time, you gotta clock

397
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:13,000
it for your if you're you haven't picked up a

398
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:16,119
first down yet, you just gotta clock it. So hopefully,

399
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,200
ideally it would have been best to throw three straight

400
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,440
shots to the pylon right that that would have been great.

401
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:27,000
A back shoulder, uh, A corner post post corner right,

402
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:31,000
whatever it is. Have something called prior A couple last

403
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:33,880
things before we get to break. Take us through that

404
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:39,880
play that where you broke a couple of tackles and

405
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,680
you tossed it away and you got the targeting call.

406
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 7: I just didn't want to get sacked, so I could

407
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,640
have thrown it actually, but I don't know. I got

408
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,920
held onto it and uh so I was like, oh shoot,

409
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,160
I probably gotta make a play here, and but just

410
00:22:53,759 --> 00:22:55,920
threw it away and yeah, got it, got a good call.

411
00:22:56,799 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank goodness, got the targeting call. Uh. I don't

412
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,119
know what Tao Johnson was thinking, Like he had him

413
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,279
wrapped up and then he kind of just let him go.

414
00:23:05,319 --> 00:23:07,599
He maybe just thinking he was maybe he heard a whistle,

415
00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:11,799
Maybe he thought that he didn't want to take on

416
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,799
some sort of a penalty. Maybe he was fearful of that. Anyway,

417
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,799
they got one. They got one anyways with the lander

418
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:19,559
Barton targeting.

419
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,079
Speaker 4: Maybe Bear was just too strong. Maybe it wasn't even

420
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,160
Johnson's fault. Maybebe bear strong.

421
00:23:24,279 --> 00:23:27,559
Speaker 1: The centaur broke another tackle, that's right, let's go to break.

422
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:30,680
We'll come back more sound, more commentary, and as we

469
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:52,279
back to it. Did you think Bear, on that twenty

470
00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:56,799
two yard score that you were gonna enter the end

471
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,160
zone and get six points there?

472
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 7: No, so I was trying to get the first down

473
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,119
and uh oh, I don't know. I was standing for

474
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,480
some reason. After after some guys tried to talk to me.

475
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:08,599
So I just saw the the line and uh, I

476
00:26:08,599 --> 00:26:11,160
think Whalen pushed me in and and uh yeah, so.

477
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 6: That so that was a fun, fun kind of deal.

478
00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:16,839
Speaker 1: Bear Bachmeer is the epitome of staying present. Most of

479
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,079
us in this world have no idea how to stay present.

480
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,160
We are uh, we are ridden with anxiety, We are

481
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:31,799
ridden with forecasting ifs and what and like Bear's just

482
00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:37,599
sitting there like in the moment present. I'm executing my

483
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,079
task right now, I'm talking, I'm running, I'm covering up,

484
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,440
I'm leaping, I'm jumping, I'm continuing to push forward. Oh

485
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,960
my gosh, I may get it. I may score a touchdown.

486
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,119
Waylon Laoi, Bruce Mitchell, elevate him, push him, and he

487
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,200
scores a touchdown. Now he's gonna celebrate. Then he hands

488
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:58,920
the ball to who was it? Was it Andrew Gentry.

489
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,559
He hands it to Andrew Gentry. Andrew Gentry taps on

490
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:04,200
the helmet, he gives it back to him. Bear then

491
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,720
hands it to the ref. I think Bear was telling

492
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:08,319
him spike like it. Spike it.

493
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

494
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: It was just It's just one sequence after the other side,

495
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:15,640
step by step for Bear Bachmer. Staying present is the

496
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,400
Bachmeyer way.

497
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,519
Speaker 4: Yeah. It It feels like, if you want to ask

498
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,960
anybody give me a play by play of what's going

499
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,240
on in your brain. Bear Bachmeyer is the guy to ask.

500
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,200
I mean, he probably remembers how many bites it took

501
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,480
him to eat his cereal in the morning, because he

502
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,440
just remembers. I love how he says. Then some guys

503
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,519
tried to tackle me, Like he was standing there and

504
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:36,079
he got jumped in the middle of the street and

505
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,000
he didn't know why they were trying to tackle him.

506
00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:41,559
I'm just standing there like he just remembers what he

507
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,480
was thinking at every millisecond of the activity. There is

508
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:47,480
no one like Bear, and I pray that that kid

509
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:48,200
never changes.

510
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,759
Speaker 1: Love it. What was the difference for you guys collectly

511
00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:53,039
on those scoring drives in the fourth quarter?

512
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 7: Bear, Yeah, I think we mitigated mistakes and I thought

513
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,079
we just executed really well. I mean from the top down. Yeah,

514
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,240
it was just we just executed and we just played

515
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,440
by a football.

516
00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:08,799
Speaker 1: Just played b yu football. That's what we do. This

517
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,200
led me to ask this question. I was like, you

518
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,880
elaborate on your relationship with Aaron Roderick, your quarterbacks coach

519
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,279
and offensive coordinator. What makes it so unique? So special?

520
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think the OC quarterback relationship is the most

521
00:28:25,079 --> 00:28:28,480
important relationship in all of sports. And uh, he's got

522
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,200
so much confidence in me and and you know, I

523
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,799
have so much confidence in him, so that that that

524
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,319
relationship and that bond is special. And knowing that he's

525
00:28:39,359 --> 00:28:42,559
got my back and I got his, you know again,

526
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,759
it's it's special and and uh, you know, I think

527
00:28:44,799 --> 00:28:47,440
that's that's why we're winning games, will be we just

528
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:48,279
got to keep it rolling.

529
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,119
Speaker 1: An elaborate answer from Bear Bachmeyer, who typically doesn't give

530
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,400
it elaborate answers, your thoughts.

531
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,799
Speaker 4: That was the longest answer of any question that he

532
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,440
was asked all night, and he was asked, I think

533
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,960
something close like twenty questions. It's interesting because again we

534
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:06,920
talk about how Bear really doesn't have a whole I

535
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,680
don't know if not doesn't have a lot to say

536
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,640
is the right phrase. But he doesn't give long answers.

537
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,359
And so when you ask that question and his longest

538
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,440
answer of the night is talking about his relationship with

539
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,319
Aaron Roderick, it just shows you that's his way of

540
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,240
telling you, Hey, this is a really special relationship to me,

541
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:28,319
and it means a lot. That's what he's saying without

542
00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:28,880
saying it, and.

543
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,319
Speaker 1: You better respect it. Cougarnation, that's right, respect that relationship.

544
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 5: He doesn't like to focus on himself. You can see

545
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,839
that he likes to pass it off, like giving the

546
00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:39,599
football to his lineman to spike it.

547
00:29:39,759 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 4: You know, that's what makes them special.

548
00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: When you were named the starter, Bear, could you have

549
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:46,200
envisioned how these seven games would go?

550
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 7: I mean, I guess you know, I always want to

551
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,240
compete and always want to win. I guess I guess

552
00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:54,960
reality said he in that we are seven to zero.

553
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,440
But yeah, you always want to you always want to

554
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,519
win games, and so just happy that we're here.

555
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,519
Speaker 1: I guess, man, I just don't want to win. I

556
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:04,279
just like came in. I wanted to win the job,

557
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:07,079
but I want I wanted to run the football, I

558
00:30:07,079 --> 00:30:09,079
wanted to pass the football. I wanted to hand the

559
00:30:09,079 --> 00:30:10,960
football off. And then all of a sudden, I'm the starter.

560
00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:12,559
And then yeah, I mean I thought I was gonna win.

561
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:16,000
He he thinks he's gonna win every game. Let's let's let's

562
00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:17,839
not get a twisted. How fun is it to be

563
00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:19,839
a part of such a physical, downhill offense?

564
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,119
Speaker 7: Bear, Yeah, it's really fun when you got when you

565
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,559
got a number four in the backfield and you got

566
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:30,920
those boys up front that are just physical as as

567
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,319
as heck, and uh, I mean it's fun.

568
00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 6: It's just a testament to them and uh yeah, we

569
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,240
gotta go celebrate. We gotta go celebrate them.

570
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,759
Speaker 1: It's imperfect perfectly to h double hockey stick physical. Heck,

571
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:47,400
like you wonder if he were he grew up saying

572
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,480
those same things as we did, right, I think so,

573
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,279
Like did he use the h double hockey sectories? He's

574
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:55,759
just a really good at impact because part of me

575
00:30:55,799 --> 00:30:57,839
wonders if he grew up saying it, But now that

576
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,440
he's here, no, I think he said.

577
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 4: I think said hell growing up, and now that he's here,

578
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,359
he's like, oh, I have to say this way?

579
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Do you think so? Or I don't know.

580
00:31:05,079 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 4: I could see it.

581
00:31:05,839 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: I could see it either it was either very good

582
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,400
at being a chameleon or like he grew up that way,

583
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:12,480
one of the two.

584
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,759
Speaker 5: I listened to Hank and his brothers. They they're the

585
00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:16,559
same way.

586
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's been times where, like especially the first

587
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,559
time they talked about it, he stuttered before he said heck,

588
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:25,000
which makes me think like he doesn't have a problem

589
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:27,640
saying it. He just knows I'm the quarterback. I shouldn't

590
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,079
speak that way. So I don't because my guess is

591
00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:32,440
it's not all sunshine and rainbows during the huddle all

592
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:32,759
the time.

593
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, ap, what do you got for me? Brother?

594
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,279
All I gotta say is he came in playing Settlers

595
00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:43,240
of Katan and chess. He absolutely grew up saying heck.

596
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:47,000
The thing is, he did not grow up playing Settlers

597
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,799
at Catan. That was the first time he played. I

598
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,680
confirmed that with Kean Nead, But he did play chess.

599
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:55,079
Speaker 4: Chess was and he was homeschooled for a little while correct.

600
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

601
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, in my experience, I'm all about a school kid.

602
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,400
Don't grow up cursing.

603
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: That's just in my homeschool and all my kids. Now

604
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,680
I talk to my wife, I'm like, Babe, get ready

605
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,119
for it. We're homeschooling the kids. You know, that's how

606
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:11,160
we're gonna do it. I want them to be weird.

607
00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:13,880
I want him to be stoic. I want him to

608
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,319
like not give an elaborative answers to media. You know.

609
00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:19,480
That's what I want for my children now. I want

610
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:22,480
to be playing chess Settlers of Catan, saying h double

611
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:25,160
hockey sticks and heck, that's what I want for my children.

612
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,799
That's what I want. That's my vision for my children's future.

613
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 4: I'm just bummed that when he talked about celebrating, we

614
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,920
didn't get another drop of he's going to get milkshakes.

615
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,759
When Bear says he's going to get milkshakes, like he

616
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,200
already lights up like a little kid all the time.

617
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,839
But when he talks about going to get milkshakes. It

618
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,039
is literally like you're taking your seven year old kid

619
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,359
or nephew or whatever to go get ice cream. That

620
00:32:48,519 --> 00:32:50,279
is how he feels about it. That's one of the

621
00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:52,839
joys of getting to hear from Bear bachmer you know it,

622
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,200
but I'm sure they're going to get them. And he

623
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,480
said it in the plural. Wait, so it wasn't like

624
00:32:56,559 --> 00:32:58,039
he's going to get a milk chickens.

625
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:01,119
Speaker 5: Well we're going we're going wanted to get mill chicks

626
00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:02,359
with his guys.

627
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,559
Speaker 1: Well, he's taken a lot of hits the season. Bear,

628
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Have you felt any toll in your bodies if you

629
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:10,319
as you've had to run so much the season.

630
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody has. Yeah, everybody.

631
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 7: Everybody gets a toll on their body and and uh,

632
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,559
you know Nixon bruises and stuff like that.

633
00:33:16,599 --> 00:33:18,519
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, we got to

634
00:33:18,559 --> 00:33:19,200
go win the game.

635
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,359
Speaker 1: What was the preparation like this week for such a

636
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,519
stout Utah defensive front.

637
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,519
Speaker 7: There was there was some more intensity, but we didn't

638
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:31,559
change our process. We we you know, we feel like

639
00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:33,960
we have we had a great process through the first

640
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,400
six games, and we just we just kept our whole

641
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,400
process and and what we do and and uh, you know,

642
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,559
testament to the coaches and getting us prepared, and all

643
00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:42,279
we had to do was go out and.

644
00:33:42,279 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: Execute, execute, execute Execute. Was there anything you saw in

645
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,680
your film study that maybe stood out to you in

646
00:33:48,759 --> 00:33:49,200
this game?

647
00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:50,039
Speaker 6: Yeah?

648
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:55,319
Speaker 7: They you know, they they they're playing a lot of

649
00:33:55,359 --> 00:33:57,400
man and they wanted to, you know, kind of ninety

650
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,119
to get to the quarterback, and that's what they showed.

651
00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:02,799
And so we just skeemed up, schemed up, and you know,

652
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,640
got out with the one.

653
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:07,359
Speaker 1: So they want the man up and then let John

654
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,719
Henry Daily get after the quarterback. And John Henry did

655
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,280
hit bear a few times. Speaking of those hits, A

656
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,039
couple of those hits came from number ninety. He's got

657
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:17,840
nine sacks on the season. Does John Henry Daily go

658
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,760
to the NFL Draft after this? I was talking with

659
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,039
g Man about this. Logan Fano probably gone, John Henry

660
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:27,000
Daily could be gone, Spencer Fonuo, Caleb Lomu, Smith Snoden

661
00:34:27,039 --> 00:34:30,880
could be gone, Tao Johnson. I mean, all their best

662
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,440
players could be going to the NFL after this season.

663
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,039
I think there's a reason why Cott Whittingham came back

664
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:39,679
this year rather than retiring, because he had a squad.

665
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,559
He's got some talent in that room on both offense

666
00:34:42,599 --> 00:34:43,880
and defensive side of the ball.

667
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 4: Weird stat for you BYU when they were passing in

668
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,519
a non play action form negative three yards passing against Utah,

669
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:58,000
which tells you that this defensive line, when they weren't

670
00:34:58,039 --> 00:35:00,559
having to gauge the play action, when they knew it

671
00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:04,760
was a pass, they were getting after the quarterback. Now,

672
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,559
Bear Backmeyer, per those same stats, is one of the

673
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:09,480
best play action passers in the country. But I think

674
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,679
that just goes to show you, like this Utah defensive

675
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,559
front was elite. The pass rush is crazy. Fano, John

676
00:35:16,599 --> 00:35:21,039
Henry Daily. These guys made Bear Bachmeyer's life really difficult,

677
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:24,519
and he really shined through against such a touch tough

678
00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:26,360
defensive line, no doubt about it.

679
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: A couple last things from Bear. What was it like

680
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,039
experience this game with the fans? Yeah, it was. It

681
00:35:33,079 --> 00:35:33,679
was electric.

682
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:38,159
Speaker 7: Even on the cougar walk that was I was, you know,

683
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,599
clapping people's hands and it was just like I couldn't

684
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:43,800
It was like my ear drums were just exploding.

685
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 6: I was, you know, it was just it was loud

686
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,320
as a different environment.

687
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 7: And yeah, I mean the the Utah BYU robbery it's

688
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,480
it's uh, I mean, it's up there.

689
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 6: It's up there, and those are the college football robberies.

690
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: For sure, up there for certain. You said you mitigated

691
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,599
mistakes played BYU football. What is BYU foot to you?

692
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,079
Speaker 7: I mean it's it's physical and and and and fast

693
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,079
and just ferocious and and uh you know, just just

694
00:36:08,159 --> 00:36:10,800
execution and so you know those two drives without that,

695
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:11,760
we executed really well.

696
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: Did the intensity of the robbery live up to the hype? Bear?

697
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it was crazy. I mean the stadium

698
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,960
was rocking. The rock was rocking, and so it was

699
00:36:24,039 --> 00:36:29,079
just the there was intensity, but uh yeah, I mean

700
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:30,519
it was it was it was a great game.

701
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,159
Speaker 1: They go great game. Have you ever been involved in

702
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:36,920
a crowd storming before?

703
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 6: Bear?

704
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:38,599
Speaker 2: No?

705
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 7: No, I was actually kind of scared because, uh I

706
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,039
was kind of getting claustphobic.

707
00:36:42,079 --> 00:36:43,559
Speaker 6: I was like, holy cow, like let me get out

708
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:46,280
of here. But uh yeah, it was fun.

709
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: Uh who was more claustrophobic? You were President Reese out

710
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,800
there crowdsurfing? Oh?

711
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 7: Probably him, But he looked like he was having Yeah,

712
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,679
he was having a good time.

713
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,159
Speaker 6: But we were all having a good time. It was

714
00:36:58,199 --> 00:37:01,599
just you know it wanted to get to the locker

715
00:37:01,639 --> 00:37:02,920
room and Celbarry with the boys.

716
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's trying to get out of there, bro, Yeah,

717
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,679
that's what he was trying to do, right.

718
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 4: Can I say this genius marketing by the way, Crumble

719
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,760
deserves a lot of credit because I don't know that

720
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,639
BYU's I mean, look, I'm sure he's donating to Bye irrespective.

721
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:21,840
My guess is the way it's structured, he can't go

722
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,039
in directly pay the fine. He would have to pay BOU.

723
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,360
But either way, regardless of whether or not BYU takes

724
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,239
his money, Crumbles now the official sponsor of crowdstorming at BYU.

725
00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:36,119
That is genius level marketing by the.

726
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:39,599
Speaker 1: Guys crowd this crowd storming brought to you by Crumble.

727
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,639
Speaker 4: That is awesome. They need to put that post out

728
00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:44,719
like they need to make that this is free you

729
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,360
guys go ahead and take the idea. They need to

730
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,280
make a post that says the official sponsor of BYU

731
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:50,440
crowd storm ris.

732
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,079
Speaker 1: I got two questions in in the post game. This

733
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:56,239
was one of my questions. I asked, you've been called

734
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,639
the centaur, the right handed tim Tebow. How do you

735
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,719
sell lebrate these moments while also staying level headed.

736
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, well it's a cliche, but you kind of, I mean,

737
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,320
stay off all that the social media stuff and you

738
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,400
just you know, you just hang with your buddies and

739
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,039
and I I say, it's a lot, but it's a

740
00:38:14,039 --> 00:38:15,800
testiment to my family and how I was raised. And

741
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,039
we didn't you know, we weren't the flashy kind of

742
00:38:20,119 --> 00:38:22,639
kind of deal. Is just just put your head down

743
00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:25,320
and work. And so we keep doing that, we keep

744
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,159
winning games.

745
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: Stay humbles, stay home like like guys, Like I've said

746
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,960
it so many times on these airways, and I've had

747
00:38:33,039 --> 00:38:38,920
many fans kind of push, uh, push the envelope on this,

748
00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:41,119
and like try to press me on it, and I'll

749
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,840
never fold on it. Like entitlement does not work at

750
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,920
Bay by Us at its best when there is no

751
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,199
entitlement in that locker room. There's no entitlement, and especially

752
00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:53,159
when it's coming from your playmaking leaders, like it makes

753
00:38:53,199 --> 00:38:55,239
it so much easier because then everyone has to buy

754
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:01,079
into we not me, right and and and buying into

755
00:39:01,199 --> 00:39:05,119
the team first mentality. I still believe that. I don't

756
00:39:05,159 --> 00:39:09,880
think you know that that in tournament works for Bay Football.

757
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,679
I don't think it works for Bou basketball. I think

758
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,079
when we've had it, I don't think the Boau basketball

759
00:39:14,159 --> 00:39:16,559
does as well. I think there's always a poison. There's

760
00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:20,199
kind of an undermining us subterfusion of the mission of

761
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,400
winning as a team. And right now Boa football is

762
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,679
winning as a team. They are a complementary football team.

763
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,920
Yes they have stars, Yes they have great football players.

764
00:39:29,199 --> 00:39:32,400
Yes they have NFL caliber football players, but they're not

765
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:38,039
ego centric, narcissistic maniacs that have to take all the credit.

766
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,280
And Klonie epitomizes that as much as anybody in the team.

767
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,880
First mentality, if.

768
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,760
Speaker 4: There ever was a b y U Aaron Roderick quarterback

769
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:53,360
with no ego, all ball, Jaren Jaren was very much well.

770
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,079
Speaker 1: But Jaren and we would all.

771
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 4: Agree Bear Bachweyer and Jaron Hall are pretty similar.

772
00:39:57,559 --> 00:39:59,679
Speaker 1: They have a similar they have a similar feel. And

773
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,800
that's I'm saying, uh final thing, take us through the hurdle,

774
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,920
bear Bachmeyer, you jumping over you?

775
00:40:06,159 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just uh, I don't know.

776
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 7: I wanted to do that the first game, but I

777
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,079
guess I didn't do it the first six weeks. So

778
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:16,840
got an opportunity and I don't. Hopefully I didn't really

779
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,880
see it. Hopefully look cool. If I got up, hopefully

780
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:20,599
I could jump high.

781
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:21,679
Speaker 6: So we got it.

782
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:24,559
Speaker 1: Kidding me.

783
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,519
Speaker 5: The best part of that was he got his feed

784
00:40:28,599 --> 00:40:31,239
up before that guy coming low right after he landed.

785
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:35,519
Speaker 4: Ye, that was close. Also, that's actually not true because

786
00:40:35,559 --> 00:40:38,119
he has hurdled before this season. I think it was

787
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,920
I can't remember. I don't remember, but he has hurdled before.

788
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,360
Now it wasn't that good and it wasn't against Utah,

789
00:40:43,519 --> 00:40:46,519
so therefore it doesn't matter. But uh, the person who

790
00:40:46,639 --> 00:40:50,800
asked this question posed it all the lines of because

791
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,639
in the media room where they were, there's a picture

792
00:40:52,639 --> 00:40:56,320
of Taysom Hill hurdling at Texas, and so he said, hey, like,

793
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,639
in my mind, this could go down as a hurdle

794
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,559
on the level of Taysom Hill jumping over Texas just

795
00:41:04,599 --> 00:41:06,840
because of what this game meant and what happened on

796
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,199
that play. And then he asked that question, and I thought,

797
00:41:09,639 --> 00:41:15,519
you know what, given bears performance, given Bear's legendary performance

798
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:18,960
this season, given that play, kind of cherry on the

799
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,400
top of all of it. Like, I do think there's

800
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,159
a world where that picture of Bear Bachmeyer hurdling because

801
00:41:25,199 --> 00:41:27,599
it's emblematic of everything else that happened in this game

802
00:41:27,679 --> 00:41:30,639
this season. I think that picture could be up there

803
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,920
with the great ones.

804
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:33,199
Speaker 1: I love it.

805
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 5: Can you imagine him and McKay in the backfield together,

806
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,320
those guys here in a couple of years.

807
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,639
