It's that time. The portal 23 00:00:57,399 --> 00:00:59,960 will open up January second. I believe it will close 24 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:02,920 January thirteenth, so people will have time to go. A 25 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,879 quarterback is gone. I'll discuss with the guy sitting here 26 00:01:06,239 --> 00:01:08,319 in just a second of what other people could go 27 00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:10,920 and earn reminder. Caloney said this, and I do believe 28 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:13,359 this wholeheartedly. Guys that are going to the port aren't 29 00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:15,439 gonna play just as simple. That's how it goes at 30 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:17,200 the end of the day. That's how it was when 31 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,840 I played rugby and I thought about going elsewhere playing time. 32 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,920 Everybody wants to play it. And it's not that those 33 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,319 players aren't good players. They just aren't gonna play here. 34 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,879 And that's just what it is. At the end of 35 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,480 the day. Look at the talent coming in and today. 36 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,719 These coaches have to keep their jobs. They have to 37 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:32,319 put the best product on the field. They have to 38 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,680 go win games. So as much as the relationships do matter, 39 00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:38,040 those things, if you aren't able to perform, or if 40 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:40,480 I like to say my new phrase, if you piss 41 00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:42,400 down your leg in the moment and someone else comes 42 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,920 behind you, it takes your spot. That's just the nature 43 00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:47,680 of the business. Look, I took someone's spot when I played, 44 00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:50,159 and then I got digged up and I was able 45 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,480 to get back, and I didn't take care of business. 46 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,000 Someone took my spot. That's just how it goes. Welcome 47 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,760 to college Athletics. Don't get upset about it.

Welcome into man, the myth legend 68 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,319 who's sitting right in front of me, the owner of 69 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,759 Utah Protective Films JB. How we doing? What's up? Man? Good? Good? Freezing? 70 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,199 It is freezing one hundred percent is freezing. 71 00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:56,199 Speaker 2: Degree weather in December, Utah. It's not like we had 72 00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:57,240 a California Christmas. 73 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,319 Speaker 1: You definitely did, and you can travel off of the California. Uh, 74 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,960 definitely was a California Christmas. And then the wave just hit. 75 00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:04,919 You know, I think, what is the start of this 76 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,280 week and over the weekend it just. 77 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:08,719 Speaker 2: Weather. 78 00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: I know you like the flip flop man, I got 79 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,680 shoes on and everything. So look, hey, we just got 80 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,120 to get through three months and then once we get 81 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,280 back to it, it'll be okay to get ready to go. 82 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,360 All right, let's just start there. Your thoughts on the 83 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,520 matter of you know, you heard the show yesterday, Bim 84 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,400 was discussing it Jay Hill and talks, you know, with Michigan. 85 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,759 Obviously it hasn't been reported, but it sounds like even 86 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,439 rumblings a Rod as well. All of this is crazy. 87 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: So for me to start with, so I'll just make 88 00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:35,960 it real clear, I am a J Hill guy. 89 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,439 Speaker 1: I am an Aaron Roderick guy. Yes you are. 90 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: I am a Justin and A guy. I am a 91 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:44,080 general Guildford guy. I McLane Sataki. So when I say that, 92 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,759 that means wherever these guys go, I follow, you know. 93 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,159 Speaker 1: And so for me, these are these are my former teammates. 94 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: These are guys that that I followed throughout their entire 95 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,719 coaching career. They changed my my whole perspective on the 96 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,719 University of Utah. 97 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: I want him to win because my, my, my, we're coaching, 98 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,400 you know, and so things say. 99 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:05,919 Speaker 2: Obviously wanted to lose one game a year, you know, 100 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960 but I wanted them to have success. And I still 101 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,719 want them to all be successful. And these guys are 102 00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,479 gonna make good decisions based on what's best for them, 103 00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:17,439 just like players do in the portal themselves. They jump 104 00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,759 in the portal because the opportunities to play and get 105 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,240 the time. And the difference is the portal. You're limited. 106 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,560 You know, you got four years to play. You're limited, 107 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,680 so you might bounce around more. A coach has a 108 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,839 lot more flexibility in the amount of time that he 109 00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:31,680 can coach. 110 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: So do I think Jay Hill will go I'm on 111 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:36,439 the fence about it. You know. 112 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: I know everyone's Oh, He's definitely gonna take it. Well, 113 00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:43,680 I don't think that necessarily it's a it's it is 114 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,839 definitely a step up, but is it a better step? 115 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: Right? 116 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: So when you look at what he has here? And 117 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,199 I know yesterday you guys said, well Jay's not a 118 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:54,079 b YU got. 119 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: Yes he is? 120 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,399 Speaker 2: And now and the reason I say that Jay Grup 121 00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:59,800 in Lehigh you know where did he go to Junior? 122 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:05,360 Call exactly what I said yesterday. If you're a Utah 123 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,800 guy growing up, you don't go to Ricks. 124 00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: You go to. 125 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 2: Dixie back in the day, which is now Utah Tech, 126 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,639 or you go to Snow if you're gonna go J. C. 127 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,720 Rout in the state of Utah, you don't go to 128 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,040 Ricks when you're a. 129 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: Utah If you are a Utah person, you ain't at 130 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Rick Snow or you're you're at Dixie back in that day. 131 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:24,480 You know. 132 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: So Jay grew up in Utah Valley and loves b 133 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,879 YU love BYU football. B why you should have scholarship 134 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,360 him straight out out of ricks? You know, it's you know, 135 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:38,079 he may not have been at Utah at that point, 136 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,680 but but anyway, so there's a lot for Jay to 137 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,079 figure out. He has here in Utah and with the 138 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,879 BYU fan base. I don't want to say flexibility, but 139 00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:51,439 but I'll tell you what. 140 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,399 Speaker 1: Cougar fan base has his back. It's more flexible. I 141 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:56,600 thinking schedule as well, but they have us back. 142 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: Right, so things go wrong a little bit, we we 143 00:05:59,639 --> 00:06:01,920 trust Jay's gonna pull it around and figure it out. 144 00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:04,040 Give them another you know, it's not like, well, you 145 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:06,439 guys had a five and seven year, you're out forever. 146 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,399 You know, you go to Michigan and have a five 147 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:11,839 and seven year, you're done. You know, it's not it's 148 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120 not or your defense isn't highly ranked and you're losing 149 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,600 games because of your defense. The people are calling for 150 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:20,319 your head because they don't love and respect you yet 151 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:23,600 you haven't earned their love and respect. You have here, 152 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:25,959 you know. So, so there's a lot to play into 153 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,759 that is money. The biggest factor. I don't think it 154 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,879 is when you're already in the two million dollar range 155 00:06:30,879 --> 00:06:33,879 of year. I don't think that making two point eight 156 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,839 versus two million, but having the life that you want, 157 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,959 where you want to live. 158 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of factors that are going 159 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,079 to it. 160 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:47,199 Speaker 2: But overall, if you know, the administration made their decision 161 00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:51,560 that Kolonie Sataki is our man, right, so had Colon 162 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,519 had they not done that, then Jay Hill would be 163 00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:57,439 our head coach right now, right So in making that decision, 164 00:06:57,439 --> 00:07:00,680 now Jay's got some decision. Am I pursuing more head coaching? 165 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,120 Am I happy where I'm at? Am I happy and 166 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:05,040 healthy where I'm at? You know, so there's a lot 167 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,639 for him to figure out. I'll ask you an honest 168 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,920 question on that. And look, these guys are competitive. They 169 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,240 want to win at the highest level. They all want 170 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:10,759 to be the best. 171 00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: Do you feel Kline pushing it hard and getting it 172 00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:16,720 and he deserves it, does not argue that. Do you 173 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,680 feel that maybe j C's did and says, you know, 174 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,319 and okay, well that's what it is. Then I'm going 175 00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:22,399 to go elsewhere. Do you think that the thought could 176 00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:23,920 come cross to mind. You I always thinking that in 177 00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:25,319 competitive nature of col it. 178 00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:27,879 Speaker 2: Just depends if that's what he If his ultimate final 179 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:29,360 goal is I want to be a head coach of 180 00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:33,959 a nationally ranked football team, then yeah, then I would 181 00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:37,879 say yes. If if he's realizing at this point that 182 00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:40,120 that's not his ultimate goal and his ultimate goal is 183 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,120 to win a national championship, and maybe he has that 184 00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:45,879 opportunity here better than moving in and kind of throwing 185 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,600 it in the ring and let's see what happens type 186 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:48,920 of deal. 187 00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:51,839 Speaker 1: You know, we'll see. You know, it's there's a lot 188 00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:52,319 to figure out. 189 00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:53,759 Speaker 2: But then you and you look at a Rod, you 190 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,120 know that the you know, the fan base is probably 191 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,360 more behind j Hill, I think when you look at 192 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,120 them online, but I think the FAMI base is really 193 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,759 behind a Rod. It's just the haters are more vocal 194 00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:09,000 and and the best part about the haters is reading 195 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,319 some comments of some of these guys and they was like, well, yeah. 196 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,279 Speaker 1: But on third down and fifteen and you call them 197 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,959 come on, you know? 198 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: So anyway, so I think I think a Rod has 199 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:22,319 a has a lot to negotiate as well. 200 00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: It is important we keep these guys. I think it's important. 201 00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you heard you listen to to uh bear 202 00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:33,759 talk after the game. And what is he given the 203 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:39,240 credit to Right before Matt Mitchell left, he was given 204 00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:42,919 credit to MAdM Yeah, so there, there's there's Uh. I'm 205 00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,799 excited for the future and where things are going. But uh, 206 00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:51,120 you know, I personally, I have favorites of of guys 207 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,440 that I like, and I'm gonna follow them wherever they go. 208 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,679 And I will be if Jay goes to Michigan, I 209 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,320 will be now following Michigan football. 210 00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: You know. 211 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: I'm Akila and Marrion, right, That's who I started following 212 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,799 Miami football, right, I'm a I'm a Jake Redsoff guy. 213 00:09:08,039 --> 00:09:11,120 I enjoy watching Jake play. So I started following too Lane. 214 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: You know. 215 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,639 Speaker 2: Now I don't follow too Lane anymore because he's done right, but. 216 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: Absolutely, but I follow. 217 00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: You know. That's the funny thing is is I've been asked, 218 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:23,559 you know, years ago, who's your NFL team? I'm like, man, 219 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,360 I even have one, you know, and people, wait a minute, 220 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:31,399 mahomes andything you don't want I have.

I follow players, 223 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,440 you know, So that's kind of how I am. And 224 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,039 and so i'm as I follow these guys and and 225 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,480 I want them to all be successful, and I want 226 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:47,080 them to have great careers, and and you know, whatever 227 00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:50,639 decision they make, it's the right decision for them, you know, 228 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,159 And let's. 229 00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: Support and move move forward. 230 00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: And uh see what We've got a lot of a 231 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,519 lot of a lot of good opportunity moving forward here 232 00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:02,080 regardless of what happened. We can bring in good guys 233 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,720 if we need to, if we're able to keep them. 234 00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:09,840 Then the man, Brian Santiaguani the race, you know it 235 00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:10,879 all right, I'll tell you what. 236 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,759 Speaker 1: Look if he's able to do it. And look, and 237 00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:14,440 then you bring up a good topic that we that 238 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,200 is actually needed for debate. And you know, on the 239 00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:19,759 Cougar basketball premimself talk to those of by you and 240 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,879 I said, hey, I would like to talk to Brian about, 241 00:10:21,919 --> 00:10:24,320 you know, the basketball team with more bo athletics as 242 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,159 a whole at some point. And now that you bring 243 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,320 up it gives me an idea. If Brian's able to 244 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,159 retain j Hill and you keep a Rod and you 245 00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,159 kept Kalani and he kept Kevin Young, all in a 246 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,879 calendar year that deserves a race, but no, no, bring you 247 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,600 keep all of your coaches. Come on, now, when does 248 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,679 that ever happen? And all of them are winning exactly, know, 249 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:48,080 so developing time, putting it in at the next level. 250 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: So fun to watch is who's who's all coming back 251 00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:55,720 and and transfer pot the windows opening. You know, it 252 00:10:55,759 --> 00:11:01,679 doesn't it doesn't out as a by you fan as 253 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,840 it would a lot of other schools. You see it 254 00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:09,279 was Iowa who's lost as they have one start something 255 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:09,600 like that. 256 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: You know. 257 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 2: So what BYU and Kilani and his staff and the 258 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,440 administration are able to do is retain the guys that 259 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,879 they originally signed. You have guys coming through, so see. 260 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:23,240 But but my whole point of that transfer portal we've 261 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:27,639 talked before is is the guys that jump once, jump twice, 262 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,519 jump three times. You know that what's his name, Dali 263 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,720 from from Utah. Yeah, yeah, he's in the portal, I 264 00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:39,200 mean he's where he's going. But once you jump once, 265 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,480 it becomes easy to jump again. Absolutely, we're keeping guys 266 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,519 that have the ability to transfer into maybe a bigger 267 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,080 school or a bigger league, and they're staying at BYU. 268 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,600 So that tells you something about the culture that's there, 269 00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:54,840 because if it was just about chasing dollars and money, 270 00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:57,000 they would all be gone. And I think that that's 271 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,600 happening at a lot of other schools. I mean, was 272 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,759 LSU's entire old line or five of their old linemen 273 00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:07,320 just entered the portal and Lane Kiffin's coming in. 274 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: I mean they, you know, so having conversations. Yeah, there's 275 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,200 a lot going on. And even the Michigan quarterback went 276 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,159 into the portal. Bryce Underwood is going to be staying. 277 00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:17,399 But yeah, the guy by the backup he's gone and 278 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:21,080 he's good. He's good. He ain't in the back quarterback, 279 00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:23,039 but he said, all right, I'm out. And it's just 280 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,279 it's hard to keep kids like at the North Texas 281 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,720 kid that played off. It's hard to get what do 282 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:31,879 we have? Two guys that have said they're leaving for sure, 283 00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:35,200 and Jake Griffin. I think I think Griffin's in the portal. 284 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:37,039 I might have the name. I might have the name wrong. 285 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,799 It's an offensive lineman. I need to get the name 286 00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:40,320 for the XI so I know, but it's an ol 287 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,679 lignement that wasn't that was looking for more time. He's 288 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,759 in the portal. The McKenzie twins are in the portal. 289 00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:47,639 Did they both go. Yeah, Marcus announced that he plans 290 00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:49,759 in ten, and you you'd have to think with Marcus 291 00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,320 wants to play a corner, hasn't gotten opportunity. He has 292 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,320 been on special teams, but has also been dinged up, 293 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,399 been dealing I think with the lower you know, lower 294 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,639 leg injury what he's been dealing with. But look, that's 295 00:12:58,639 --> 00:12:59,919 maybe a pack of jill you want to play with. 296 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240 Brother Marcus is playing more than Dom. Who knows, but 297 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,559 let's keep it honest. They weren't going to play at 298 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:10,200 their position. That younger players are starting over them, and 299 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,759 there are younger players coming in aka the Pulitwins that 300 00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:15,559 are going to play over you. Is just that simple, right, 301 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,919 Whether Jay stays or he goes, those guys are going 302 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,039 to come in and play over you. So they're leaving. 303 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,080 And then the last one we can get your thoughts 304 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,039 on offensive player. McKay Hill's dead. Everybody I think anticipated 305 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,879 that that he would go, and if you don't, you 306 00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:30,120 live under a rock. But I saw this coming the 307 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,440 minute he lost the starting job and Barrels announce said 308 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,360 he will be in the board at the end of 309 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:33,679 the season. 310 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and and go get some playing Go go find 311 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,279 a school that you can walk into and go play 312 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,279 football and. 313 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:42,639 Speaker 1: Stay to play for Broncos. 314 00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,159 Speaker 2: I chase playing time, But back then it was a 315 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,080 lot harder to chase by time because you had so 316 00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:50,600 many restrictions on where you can If you were going 317 00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:53,360 from BYU to another D one, you had to sit 318 00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:55,639 out a year, you know. So if you were going, 319 00:13:55,759 --> 00:13:57,600 the only way you could do it was go down, 320 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,639 you know, to Division III and AIA or whatever in 321 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,919 order to play that next year. So so your your 322 00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:06,200 options were limited a little bit more and what you 323 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,799 could and couldn't do. So today, with what they have, 324 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,720 I mean, go get playing time. You only get four 325 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,360 years to play football, you know, So go play if 326 00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:18,360 you're gonna unless your dream was to be on this 327 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,919 team and your dream and you're there now and you're 328 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,799 okay with where you're at, then stay, you know. 329 00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: But if your dream is to play ball, go play ball. 330 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,919 Speaker 2: Go find a school that's going to give you the 331 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,799 opportunity to go in and start and play. Because they're 332 00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:34,679 all great athletes, they wouldn't even be on the team. 333 00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:38,159 So everybody on the team can play football, it's just 334 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,720 where they have their opportunity to do it. And the 335 00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:43,720 kid's going to find a spot, you know, and and 336 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,919 and he'll probably have a great season. And what was 337 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,200 what was the safety that went to Montana? Can't think 338 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,559 of his name? Had a great year, a great He 339 00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:55,639 wouldn't have played, he wouldn't have played and not. 340 00:14:55,559 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: The same because he's a he's a great athlete. And 341 00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:01,159 he started gettinghurt ando the guy started performing playing better. 342 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,120 So you won with those guys's and then and then 343 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,200 they're in. But so what did he do with Montana? 344 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,159 Speaker 2: Had a great year, you know, So he's gonna have 345 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,039 his memories are going to be a great senior year 346 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,960 playing football, not standing watching other. 347 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: I got sacks, I guy interceptions. I had fun. Now 348 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,039 I sat on the cell line and I and I 349 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,200 that's the best way to get. 350 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,559 Speaker 2: Your playing time. I'm all for it. And by his 351 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,799 quarterback room is going to be fine. We're I think 352 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,960 we end up picking up somebody potentially in the portal 353 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:30,759 thatchuring guy. 354 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: You need a thirty or fourth year guy coming as 355 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,879 welling to do that. Maybe that last I mean, we'll 356 00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:35,320 we'll see. 357 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: It's it's a hard one because you know you have 358 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,120 a bona fide starter in there. You're you're not coming 359 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,759 in necessary to compete, you know. So that's that's the 360 00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:47,440 only hard, hard pill to swallow, like I'm going to 361 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,600 transfer to by you and compete to be in the 362 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:54,480 second straight, So that that's that's not an easy one 363 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:58,000 to to to get the best guy in. 364 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,679 Speaker 1: For and a quarterback young too, not like he's older. 365 00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:05,480 In the chance that goes, it's not like you're like, oh, 366 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:08,159 it's like oh maybe, it's like it's like you're not 367 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,720 going to play for at all. And then you got 368 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,159 Emerson coming back from his missing It's like it's like, 369 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,960 you're not going to play politicially for what six years? Yeah, 370 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,519 you're not. You're not gonna You're not going to play 371 00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:21,799 for six years because unless something happens with Bear and 372 00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:24,679 then and we'll save this discussion for when Rider Duskin back, 373 00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:26,759 because that's going to be a whole fiasca. It's you know, 374 00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:28,759 does ride a red shirt? Always not got a red shirt? 375 00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:30,399 Though he wants to play, You're not gonna play I'll 376 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,679 beat a junior and that's been balling his butt off. Look, 377 00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:34,759 that's you're not trying to start the conversation. But I 378 00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:36,600 bring it up with if your guy coming in, you 379 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:38,639 know you're you're not touching the field, you're gonna run 380 00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:40,759 maybe scout. If you don't run, scout, but you're the 381 00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:45,639 backup guy in the back of run scout. Definitely about it. 382 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:47,120 You might take what how many reps do you take 383 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:48,919 as a as a backup quarterback in practice? 384 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,279 Speaker 2: Because the third string runs well second and third still 385 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,919 second takes a lot of reps, a lot of because 386 00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:56,120 if you're if your first string goes down, your second's 387 00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:57,080 gotta be down there. 388 00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:59,399 Speaker 1: So he's getting plenty of rep, plenty of reps. Cat. 389 00:16:59,639 --> 00:17:01,799 Speaker 2: But the he with that is that if if you're 390 00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:06,039 able to keep a rod and throughout throughout the time, 391 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,559 that that bears here. And then with Rider Lions, I mean, 392 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,720 if you imagine having a full year of preparation with 393 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,720 a Rider Lions learning from Bear and then going into 394 00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:20,319 his freshman year, you know whether he I don't if 395 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,519 Ryder is all that he is is spoken to be, 396 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,079 he's gonna come out and he's not gonna be a 397 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:26,640 four year guy. 398 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: Just like I don't think, there's also not gonna don't 399 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,799 think writer's gonna read share when he comes in. 400 00:17:30,279 --> 00:17:32,319 Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't red Schert is great if you're gonna 401 00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:35,519 play four more years, you know. But but if he 402 00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:38,480 is what he's prepped up to be, and you know 403 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:39,799 he won't be for. 404 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,519 Speaker 1: He only needs to show that for two years. And look, 405 00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:44,519 I also think looking I mean this in the nicest way, 406 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,680 and I'm not trying to, you know, be negative, but 407 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,039 they are getting hurt this year. If that becomes a 408 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:51,400 problem as you get older in the body and those things, 409 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,599 and you got the younger guy that has more eligibility. 410 00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:55,160 Not so they would do this to Bearble You've seen this. 411 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,480 If you have it where it's that close and this 412 00:17:57,519 --> 00:17:59,759 guy is kinged up or maybe he's thinking about going 413 00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,200 to the next level, you don't have that young guy 414 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,039 do that because he's gonna come in day one and 415 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,680 you know, throw the football. So yeah, it's like I 416 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,680 go back to the Geirblehen and Jake thing we all thought, 417 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,119 including myself GB three. I still think that GB three 418 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,559 would have toured up. I still think that, but they 419 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:17,960 went with the dude that had more eligibility. And I 420 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,039 bring it up of I think injuries play a factor 421 00:18:20,079 --> 00:18:21,960 and that happened to Michael Harper, like we talked about. 422 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: No, I think that was the final I think that 423 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,279 was the final straw with Jake and and Gary was 424 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,000 the more another year had had they both had one year. 425 00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: I think Gary Gary would have won a hundred percent 426 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:36,240 you have if that's both there last year number three 427 00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:38,799 one is the job you got two years, okay, And 428 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,079 I mean up until everything that occurred in the offseason, 429 00:18:41,319 --> 00:18:43,640 b was gonna be A. They were supposed to be 430 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,799 number nine, Like that's what it would have been. Now. 431 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,079 Look Cougarnation, I tell you, I thought it was great 432 00:18:48,079 --> 00:18:50,720 for both schools. Jake got to the CFP b A 433 00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:52,960 did phenomenal. And I just want your thoughts on that. 434 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,319 The last freshman quarterback to throw for three thousand yards 435 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,720 was a man that is is in the playoffs right 436 00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,920 now in a place for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Don't want 437 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,039 to national championship. Not saying Bart could do that, that'd 438 00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:04,079 be great for b YU, but Trevor Lawrence was a 439 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,519 damn good quarterback in my opinion. Yeah, absolutely so. No, 440 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,960 We've got we've got a right future. 441 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 2: It'll be fun to see what we are able to 442 00:19:12,759 --> 00:19:16,240 do in the portal. I personally think we we we 443 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,000 should pull a running back or two and a wide 444 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,319 receiver or two. I think our wide receiver room is 445 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,720 very very good, but we we could use one or 446 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,200 two guys to come in and just elevate that that room. 447 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,680 And that could also be you know, some of the 448 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,519 freshmen coming in. But you know there there aren't a 449 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:38,079 lot of freshmen that contribute as well as like a 450 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,559 Bear Bryant or or not Bear Brightens as that Bear 451 00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:43,359 bachbyer did you know this year? So we may have something. 452 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,880 We have some really good athletes coming in, so we'll see. 453 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,359 But I think it's good. You know, we we accomplished 454 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,359 more this year, in my opinion, with a little bit 455 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,799 less talent than we had last year. 456 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: You got your twelfth one with your best and I 457 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,200 know you mean raw talent. You got your twelfth win. 458 00:19:58,519 --> 00:20:01,480 What's your best player? Have a off season surgery? Yeah, 459 00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:04,240 you got your twelve years best line your best linebacker, 460 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,000 which who you they held out because they didn't want 461 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,599 anything to happen. That's what you did that. So can 462 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,160 you imagine you get a healthy Isaiah Glaskar back. You 463 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,920 feel the other spot at linebacker, you get Shaye Bryant 464 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,799 strang back like he's coming back. You get that, which 465 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:20,200 is pivotal. I think for the defensive line, you justin 466 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,440 Kirkland will be healthy. 467 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: I think we talked before about is is that your 468 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,160 decisions before to leave college early to go to the. 469 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,599 Speaker 1: NFL was to get paid period. That's that there was 470 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,960 nothing other you can get paid. 471 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: Now you can get paid in college, likely the same 472 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,359 amount that you're going to make as a rookie. You 473 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,880 can take that an insurance policy, so if you get injured, 474 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,160 you still get paid period. 475 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,799 Speaker 1: You know. So there's and. 476 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,559 Speaker 2: If you're already getting paid in college that much, you 477 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:49,000 can afford that policy, right, and so you do it. 478 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,960 And so there there's you know, I imagine sitting in 479 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,160 the locker room with everybody and going, guys, what do. 480 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: You need to come back? Like as a player to player, 481 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:00,640 like what do you need? 482 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: Because I'm gonna go to Klonnie and I'm gonna go 483 00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,319 and you look, we want all these guys back. 484 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: How do we keep them Let's keep everybody together, and 485 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,880 how do we keep everybody happy? With Mark? 486 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 2: Once a ton of USA comes said I'm coming back 487 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,960 and LJ when he announced what he's doing if he 488 00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,240 if he ends up coming back, it's like all that 489 00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:16,559 does it. 490 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,599 Speaker 1: I think it's a domino. 491 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,279 Speaker 2: Everybody who was going to like glasses, I think I'm 492 00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:23,559 coming back to with this group, you know, and and 493 00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:25,960 everyone had that had a breakout. You're is gonna get paid, 494 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,279 you know, so there's and you're the top dog like 495 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,119 you when you go to the NFL. You're now in 496 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:39,000 this group of apex predators rights everywhere, and you are not. 497 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:41,720 You have to prove that you are an apex. With 498 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,160 all these guys right now here at b YU, you're 499 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,680 all apex. You know, you are the top of the 500 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,720 you are. Enjoy your time in college. Enjoy the football 501 00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:57,119 experience that you have. Enjoy it, enjoy it. Let's keep going, 502 00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:00,119 you know, and then and then go get your go 503 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,359 go feed the NFL, you know, go go make your 504 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,480 mark there. But enjoy because you can't come back, well 505 00:22:05,519 --> 00:22:07,079 unless you're in the NBA. I guess you can come 506 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,640 back now, but you know, in the NFL, oh my gosh. 507 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,279 But anyways, it's you know, I feel like you enjoy it. Now, 508 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,960 get it. Enjoy the time with your boys where life 509 00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:21,519 doesn't matter. As much. There's not a lot of worry. 510 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:24,240 And our worries back in college were financial. You know, 511 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,160 they had those worries. Imagine being able to be a 512 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,799 football player in a D one school with all your 513 00:22:29,799 --> 00:22:34,200 boys hanging out playing NCAA football on your Xbox all 514 00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:41,680 day while you're getting paid like look every day, right 515 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,640 because we can afford it, Like you know, these guys 516 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,400 have it really really good and and well that would 517 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,359 be awesome to be in those positions where you could 518 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,799 come back and be that APEX top dog and and really, 519 00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,599 you know, set the mindset together, bring everybody back, figure 520 00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:58,240 out what we need and there's no reason why we 521 00:22:58,319 --> 00:22:59,559 kept be in the playoffs next year. 522 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I I think a plan order, Dame, you do 523 00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:04,519 what you did this year, and look, I look at 524 00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:06,279 the schedule next year. I'm being honest. I'm not trying 525 00:23:06,319 --> 00:23:08,839 to have hyperbolely farewell. This team could go un defeated 526 00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:11,680 next year very well with or without, you know, I 527 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,000 think j. 528 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: Hill and though, but we've got the schedule. 529 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,799 Speaker 1: You bring people back. A lot of coaches and players 530 00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:25,000 have left and all the best part about this a 531 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000 lot of those games at home, you get Iowa State 532 00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:30,160 at the crib. You get Arizona and Arizona State at 533 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,759 the crib to twelve in order, Dame. Those are all 534 00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:35,119 going to be night games. It's tough for teams to 535 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,920 play at night in Laville. I don't care what anyone 536 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,599 says with Kalani well what they do and look, even 537 00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:41,119 if they lose Jay Hill or not, you think about 538 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,359 the defense line. You got Keanu Justin kirk and will 539 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,839 hopefully be healthy. You get JT back for his last year. 540 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,319 He gets one more. I think a Nisi Purcell said 541 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,039 one more to go. So you get all of those 542 00:23:50,039 --> 00:23:53,960 guys back. You had a few more pieces. Nowsy's coming side, 543 00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:56,240 Hunter Clegg had a good season. You got these young 544 00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:59,000 bucks coming up. You got you got only dB. He 545 00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:01,640 lives on the corner. You Lois Bomba Bomby. Yes, you're 546 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:02,720 gonna have to figure to replace that. 547 00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: But but you but he was road. He was kind 548 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,519 of the goal line inside the twenty guy come in. 549 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,799 You're gonna have to figure out. The Trays is kind 550 00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:11,359 of let you down the season. Tray is gonna be 551 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,640 bigger and stronger. Already put on a you know. 552 00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: Straight fifteen pounds, gonna put on another he's. 553 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,839 Speaker 2: Gonna be a two hundred and fifteen pounds six foot three. 554 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,799 Speaker 1: Corner that can. I be honest, I'm not saying he's 555 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:25,160 this player, but it's gonna give you Sauce Gardner like vibes, 556 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,319 long b like that cosausa sixty three, built like that 557 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,240 Bill like two ten, two fifteen as well. 558 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:32,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I played against a couple of guys 559 00:24:32,319 --> 00:24:34,759 that are that big, you know, and as a receiver 560 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,279 going against the guy who's six three and two ten, 561 00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:42,599 it is very very It's it's intimidating off the ball 562 00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:45,240 when you're lined up and you're barely six foot point eighty, 563 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,480 you know, and you're going against the guy that that's 564 00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:50,160 got thirty pounds on you and it's just as fast 565 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,839 and three inches. 566 00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it'll be. It's also going to Brandon 567 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,680 Browner the corner for U. What is it? I think 568 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,400 it's the that was the Seattle Seahawks. This dude six four, 569 00:25:01,519 --> 00:25:05,240 two twenty one likes that's a corner. Like I was, 570 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,880 like duds a linebacker, bro stop playing with playing safety, 571 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,960 but he would. But that's what he was a big 572 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,119 body in that Seattle defense and because of the pieces 573 00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:15,279 complimentary football. He locked dudes up, like we do. 574 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,319 Speaker 2: We keep our safeties. Yeah, you know, well if we 575 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,880 keep it, we have right now and. 576 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: If you lose j Hill, you might lose volatile, you know. 577 00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:26,799 Speaker 2: To be honest, maybe maybe, okay, maybe I don't know. 578 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,319 Speaker 1: I don't know why that's to become the biggest rumor. 579 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,599 I think because I think the reason why is that 580 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,559 one is I interviewed him during the season. He says, 581 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,359 Jay Hill wanted me. That's the reason I came to 582 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,440 be why you I love j Hill? The relationship there, 583 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,480 He's talked about it on other in his other networks 584 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,519 that he has in il deals with So because I 585 00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:47,000 think he's been so vocal and Jay's been all I 586 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,039 love folatal He's a great player for us. Is that coin? 587 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: I think it was a point and that's what he said. Yeah, 588 00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:55,119 it was a coin. Foot So the love is only 589 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,039 as much as heads or tails. Good discretion anyway, We'll 590 00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:00,279 leave it at that. But no, I love, I love 591 00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:04,240 and I want them all back. Raider got. 592 00:26:05,759 --> 00:26:07,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be a true junior. Tommy will be a 593 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:09,519 red shirt, uh freshman. 594 00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:12,799 Speaker 2: So you got you gotta a pretty solid Yeah, I 595 00:26:12,799 --> 00:26:18,160 mean you're only starters that you're losing on defense then Jack, Yeah, 596 00:26:19,079 --> 00:26:23,200 I mean who else? Yeah, So if everyone wants to 597 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,279 come back now, and then you go to the offense. 598 00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: Who are you? Who are you starting because he's out 599 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,119 of eligibility because he's out of eligibility. Lose because he's 600 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,039 out of eligibility, right, so said? 601 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: And then and then well you lose, you lose Chase 602 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,119 out eligibility, Chase Carson. 603 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,319 Speaker 1: So yeah, the guys that you're losing like you're to 604 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,079 your point or because they're out of eligibility, it's not 605 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,000 because it's not because they're just gonna leave one because 606 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:48,200 it sounds like, you know, I think you and I 607 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,480 are both on the same page. You're gonna get him back. 608 00:26:50,839 --> 00:26:52,759 I g I think is in that boat of yeah, 609 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,319 gotta come back after having, you know, being dinged up. 610 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,559 So you're not losing guys because they're like, all right, 611 00:26:57,559 --> 00:26:59,519 I'm out. They can't come back because they can't play 612 00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:02,000 anymore if they if Carson had another season, he would take. 613 00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see if the Pool Twins come 614 00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:06,960 in the spring. I haven't heard I. 615 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,599 Speaker 1: Talked to the I think Devon Echo who we talked to, 616 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,599 who he had on the show and Legend Glaskar. I 617 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,400 think they might already be on campus because I think 618 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,079 they're coming in because you can, you can get it right, 619 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,759 you can come in right. Devon told us on the 620 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,359 show him and Legend Glaskar both were planning to come in. 621 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:26,599 So that's what he is. Damn good, gracious, I've said 622 00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:30,079 that twice. This this is you. But and that's why 623 00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:31,880 I agree with your point. Any one or two guys. 624 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,319 And that's why the the whide receivers are leasing leaving 625 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,839 because they look at Terrence Sarah and he's gonna get time. 626 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:38,680 They look at Legend Glasker, he's gonna come in and 627 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,039 compete right away. They look at the Polatino, he's gonna 628 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,640 come in and play. They got three guys, he's gonna 629 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,680 start competing more. But you think of who the assos 630 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,640 in the room. He's gonna get time now. Because of that, 631 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,359 she's gonna get so they might go get one guy. 632 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 2: So the best part about that I have to talk 633 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,559 with uh with I can't even think of his name, 634 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,759 Tiger blackbre So after after Reggie got laid out on it, 635 00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:11,839 they're just blindsided, laid out and and you see him 636 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,680 running off the sidelights. All you see is is Tiger 637 00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:18,319 and the smile and smirking laughing about him. 638 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 1: Getting laid out. I have to ask you about it, 639 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,960 but yeah, I mean that it was great. Hey, look 640 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,240 he went from you know snow to Weber to b Yu. 641 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,160 He's a good player. You have to have. You have 642 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,920 to have a big twelve moment when you get laid out. 643 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:31,599 How he got dropped and he got dropped it but 644 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,519 it's okay. Look and the reason why I brought up 645 00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:35,920 his name is you started to see number seven get 646 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,160 more time. And I think you're going to see him 647 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,440 a lot next year with Chase. And that's why I 648 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,319 think they get one year. Tiger does have another year 649 00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:45,160 that's his last year. Next year, I think he'll play 650 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,400 a bigger role. He will. And I say, this room 651 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,200 is like, that's why guys are leaving because you're like, Okay, 652 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,559 I have to look, if you're domb, if you're the 653 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,839 Mason you're looking at, I gotta beat out Legend. Okay, 654 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,440 I'm not probably gonna beat him out. I gotta be 655 00:28:56,519 --> 00:28:59,119 out of Terrence. But they're they're already beating out the 656 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,039 guys that are back. And that's that's why if you're 657 00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:04,680 not being out those guys, and that's why I say, 658 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,680 you already have dropped. So now you're looking at am 659 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,200 I going to be out these dudes coming in? No, 660 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:09,640 I'm not. So you're like, I'm gone. 661 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,519 Speaker 2: So the transfers to by you that have come out, 662 00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:14,799 our guys, as we said, looking for playing, looking for 663 00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:16,799 play because they're not gonna they're not gonna get it 664 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,880 where they're at now. Absolutely, But a lot of the 665 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,319 schools that the guys that are transferring our starters and 666 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:28,559 are players and they're they're leaving where they're starting. That's 667 00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:31,799 a big difference what you have and that's that's culture. 668 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,319 Speaker 1: Well, you know what I love about this And I 669 00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:35,000 know we got to get to break here. Uh well 670 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,039 now you get the break. I know we got it 671 00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:38,039 in the show. But what I love about this is 672 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,119 this is great for Bronco. Look, Bronco I think is 673 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,400 going to take the McKenzie Twins. I think they'll stay 674 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,319 in the state. I think you'll tell you know, le 675 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,279 Mason Waller I think is a guy that can play 676 00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:49,359 at Utah at the next level. Mean, he's a four 677 00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:51,640 star guy. I think that guy can play there. But 678 00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:53,519 this is great. I think for Bronco there are guys 679 00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:56,519 like Look Jack Iicorn went up to there. You know 680 00:29:56,599 --> 00:30:00,920 you saw mouse Hall who played great. Oh you could 681 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,160 you could have used Miles said, I'm tired of that 682 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,079 mousing up there. Great, you saw Landon Rico. Look all 683 00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:08,680 of these guys. This is a great place. Like that's 684 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,640 what I say. Chale's at back Etho State. Would that 685 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,279 be a great place for you? So this is if 686 00:30:13,519 --> 00:30:15,559 guys going into the portal, this is great because Bronco's 687 00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:17,480 gonna take you. You're gonna play in the Mountain West. You're 688 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,039 gonna play still tough competition like the Boise States to 689 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,359 un l vs. You play Tex like Bronco has rapports. 690 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,440 So this is great. This is great. I don't think 691 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,119 this is bad of what's end all being. 692 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,599 Speaker 2: I think I got some guys that you thought. Matyra 693 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,279 Brown is the linebacker there. I grew up with his dad. 694 00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:38,119 See guy's a baller. See, so this is this is great. 695 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: Still for players who are gonna go into the port 696 00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:42,680 aren't gonna get time. I still feel now that Broncos 697 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,039 is back in the state, it's a great place for 698 00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:46,680 them to to be at a place. So, like you said, 699 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,440 you have playing time, but we'll see. But look, I 700 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,119 said this yesterday on the air, are reiterated right now. 701 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,799 At quarterback, wide receiver. You need to start acting like 702 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,920 the Georgia's. The Alabamas need to have talent and depth 703 00:30:57,039 --> 00:31:00,000 from one all the way through five, six, seven, whatever 704 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,039 it is. This is no more of well, this guy 705 00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:04,599 is someone that tried out for the team and picked up. Yeah, 706 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,079 you can have those stories here in there, but that's 707 00:31:06,079 --> 00:31:07,920 over with. You need guys one through second. 708 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,279 Speaker 2: We need we need the ballers in high school that 709 00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:12,960 are coming in. And that's the thing. We get the 710 00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:17,279 right guys out of high school.
