Speaker 3: How are you? Buddy? I've decided.

72
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:36,879
Speaker 5: If you have more than two bumper stickers on your car,

73
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,240
don't speak to me. I can't trust you. There's nothing

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,479
you and I have in common. There should be a

75
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,039
legal limit in this country on how many bumper stickers

76
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,560
you're allowed to have on your car, because let me

77
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:51,800
ask the people this, have you ever seen a bumper

78
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,039
sticker that made you go, oh, you know what?

79
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: That totally changes my outlook on life. You know what,

80
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,719
I am gonna vote for that.

81
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: Person that you put on the back of your If

82
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,560
your car has more than two bumper stickers on it,

83
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:04,439
you can miss me.

84
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:07,159
Speaker 3: I'm good. We don't need to have a conversation. I'm out.

85
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: What about you know, like a forced gump type of

86
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,159
thing where it's like crap happens, you know?

87
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: Is that okay? If it's funny. If it's funny, if.

88
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 5: It's funny, But you can't have too many like still,

89
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,519
because even if you have like fifteen and they're all funny,

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,319
it's like, I don't know, you just look like the

91
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,399
crazy person who's covering up dents and scratches on the

92
00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:29,560
back of your car. If you I'll allow because also, like,

93
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:32,439
if you have multiple funny ones, it takes I think,

94
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,639
the essence away. So if you're gonna do that, just

95
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,519
do the ones. It's the only thing I have to

96
00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:38,759
look at and I can appreciate it.

97
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,079
Speaker 1: What about the family bumper stickers of mom, dad and

98
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:42,759
all the kids.

99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,879
Speaker 3: No, especially on the Midian like and I like.

100
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 5: Star Wars, but no, no, not those either. I mean

101
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,399
those are fine, But that's that's your bumper sticker. Then

102
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,519
that is your legal limit. You've already you've already hit it,

103
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,959
so you don't get to put any more on there.

104
00:04:57,199 --> 00:04:59,600
I mean, you know, a bumper sticker is similar to

105
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:02,800
like put a sign in the on the law.

106
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:05,759
Speaker 1: I got just as many problems with those. The flag right,

107
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:10,279
it's you know, whether it's religious or political, or maybe

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,759
your your favorite sports team. See this is where it

109
00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,759
gets a little bit funky for you because the sports team.

110
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: You're like, well, that's okay. I wouldn't put it on

111
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,279
my car. You wouldn't put it on your heart.

112
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:23,759
Speaker 1: You won't put like a a BYU stretch y on

113
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:27,439
your car. You're in an alum you love, you love BAYU Sports,

114
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:29,600
You cover boy sports. It's hammer Time show, all day,

115
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,439
every day, twenty four seven, three sixty five.

116
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,079
Speaker 3: I guess maybe if I was gonna put like, or.

117
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,399
Speaker 1: Are you so familiar with BYU Sports? You know everything

118
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:39,240
that's cooking now, You're like, you see what's in the kitchen.

119
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,040
You're like, I don't even like BYU anymore.

120
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:43,639
Speaker 5: I just feel like the back of your car doesn't

121
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,839
need to be decorated. I don't know, just I think

122
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,600
it looks kind of ghetto. But I will say, look again,

123
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:51,199
I'm saying you have a two sticker limit. So if

124
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:53,519
you want to do one of your family and then

125
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,240
one of BYU, that I'm good with that.

126
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,879
Speaker 3: I'm not saying no bumper stickers. I would never do it.

127
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 5: But for other p well, if you want to do

128
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:02,800
one of your family and one of your favorite sports team,

129
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,279
or one of your business and one of your space team,

130
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:07,240
that's fine. But as soon as we start getting into

131
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,800
three and four and five, then it doesn't matter what

132
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,920
those bumper stickers are. You just look like the crazy

133
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:15,279
dude in the neighborhood. It can get a little bit chaotic.

134
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: You don't want to be an agent's of chaos in

135
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:20,720
your life, As the scriptures say, set your house in

136
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:27,759
order and have order in all things, clean, proper, pristine, orderly.

137
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,879
It's where the spirit can reside, right. I used to

138
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,079
tell my Michion campaign, like, hey, we gotta we gotta

139
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:36,639
clean up our desks here. How can the spirit, you know,

140
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,079
you know, speak truth to our mind in our hearts

141
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,120
with so much chaos in our apartment and there could

142
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,600
be chaos on our car too, you know, And so

143
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,199
let's not invite the chaos in our lives. As Brett

144
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:53,560
always bringing the hammers, has advised us to do, don't

145
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,360
put too many bumper stickers on your car. It's uh,

146
00:06:58,399 --> 00:07:01,160
he says, it's ghetto two sticker limit.

147
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 3: That's it.

148
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Maybe uh you know what else, it's another uh. I

149
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,040
tell my wife all the time, we can't we can't

150
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:14,519
involve too much WT from like our childhood.

151
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:16,079
Speaker 3: You know, wherever you do you know what WT means.

152
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: It's white trash wrash there.

153
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: That's what I can say.

154
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:28,319
Speaker 1: I am Caucasian, I am of English, Scottish and Scandinavian descent.

155
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:30,920
You know what I mean, Like we gotta be better

156
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:33,399

157
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:36,600

233
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:38,639
at the Marriage Center.

234
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: He joins the list that includes.

235
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: Roland Mincent number eleven, Mel Hutchins number fourteen, Kresimer Chosich

236
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,360
number eleven, and Danny Ainge number twenty two. Jimmer Fredett states,

237
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,360
ever since I stepped on campus at.

238
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:53,519
Speaker 3: BYU, I was welcome.

239
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: I felt the love from my coaches, teammates, students, and faculty.

240
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:02,480
I wanted to be successful at the university, both on

241
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:05,279
the court and off of it. I never imagine what

242
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,759
was going to come the next four years. It became

243
00:12:08,919 --> 00:12:11,559
some of the greatest years of my life, with one

244
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,240
of the most magical seasons in BYU history. Being a

245
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,519
part of that was an honor. Now to be recognized

246
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,519
among all time greats forever in the rafters is a

247
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,840
surreal feeling. I'm so excited to enjoy that moment with

248
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:31,360
all of the Cougar, all of Kugarnation in the building

249
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,120
and around the world. A native of Glen Falls, New York,

250
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:38,879
Fredett finished his high school as the school's all time

251
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,960
leading score with two thousand and four to four points.

252
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,080
He was named first team All State as a senior

253
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,360
after averaging twenty eight point eight points per game leading

254
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:49,399
his team to the Class Single A state championship game,

255
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,679
and he took that going forward into BYU.

256
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: As a senior.

257
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: At BYU in twenty eleven, Gimmermania took the country by

258
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:58,639
storm as he led the nation in scoring twenty eight

259
00:12:58,639 --> 00:12:59,960
point nine points per games.

260
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: So it took that twenty eight point eighty He's like,

261
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,679
I'm gonna do this in college too.

262
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: En route to being named the National Player of the

263
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,080
Year by all Major outlets, the six ft two guard

264
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,320
led the Cougars to their highest ranking in program history,

265
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,840
the number three A people at the number three eight people,

266
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,559
and in appearance in the Suite sixteen, He's one thousand,

267
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,480
six hundred and eighty eight one thousand and sixty eight

268
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:25,039
points are eleventh most in a single season in NCAA

269
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:28,200
Division One men's basketball history. He scored twenty or more

270
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,799
points in all but four games, including a program record

271
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,279
fifty two points against New Mexico in the semifinals with

272
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,600
the Mountain West Conference Tournament, going twenty two of thirty

273
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,559
seven from the field, seven of fourteen from three, and

274
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,600
one for one from the three from.

275
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: The free throw line.

276
00:13:43,759 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: Will there ever be another player in BAU basketball history

277
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,720
that attempts thirty seven shots in a single game.

278
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: No, never, No, that is never going to happen. You

279
00:13:55,039 --> 00:14:00,360
have to have the right coach, the right school, the

280
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,919
right player for that to happen. Does that make sense?

281
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

282
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: Like because it it takes a lot of trust, a

283
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,159
lot of love, a lot of leeway, a lot of

284
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:19,639
leash a lot of culture, a lot of selflessness from

285
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:22,000
everybody else on the squad to say, yeah, Jim or

286
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,759
or whomever that is, that next man up to attempt

287
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,879
maybe even twenty I mean, where are we sitting at

288
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:30,240
right now?

289
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,919
Speaker 3: How many has to aj in his career thrown up? Right?

290
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,679
Speaker 5: Like, you know, we'll pull that up, But like I don't.

291
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,279
I don't even think he's eclipsed twenty five yet. That

292
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,799
would be my guess, you know what I mean, Like

293
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,519
thirty seven, that's an insane number.

294
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's ever going to be surpassed. I

295
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:51,639
just don't see it happening. Thirty seven attempts fifty two

296
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:53,120
points ridiculous.

297
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:58,919
Speaker 3: It is unreal. And the thing that's even crazier is.

298
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 5: You can kind of count on two hands maybe the

299
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,519
guys who have or the players who have tried to

300
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,759
be what Jimmer was. Trey Young comes to mind, Buddy

301
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:16,840
Healed a little bit, Caitlin Clark, and then obviously Steph

302
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,000
Curry's in that zone. But it's just interesting. Like basketball

303
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:23,320
has progressed, sports have progressed, we still have not seen

304
00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:27,080
someone do what Jimmer and Steph Curry did, which was

305
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,039
pulling up literally ten feet from the logo, ten feet

306
00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:32,679
behind the three pointint, pulling up from forty feet. Even

307
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,480
though the game has progressed, what Jimmer did is still timeless.

308
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: And that's what's insane to me.

309
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Do you know the single season, by the way, point

310
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,240
record was from Pete Maravich at LSU and sixty eight

311
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:49,879
points side of the lead average, Like I think thirty

312
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,440
nine points a game. I want to say, it's insane, man,

313
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,000
really a crazy, crazy stat.

314
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:58,399
Speaker 3: What's the staff from aj what's the most attempts he's had?

315
00:15:58,919 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: Man, I looked at it.

316
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 4: The most at simps he's taken as in the Villanova

317
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:05,240
game he was nine of eighteen eighteen eighteen. That's that's

318
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,159
not gonna happen on this team with the production. But

319
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,960
even without the production, beIN he's not the shoot it

320
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240
at jit like, that's not his strength. He's not gonna

321
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,480
get thirty seven. He might get twenty five at the most.

322
00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:16,399
I don't even I don't even think he's gonna get

323
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:17,840
thirty ben if I'm gonna be I could be wrong

324
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:23,120
and I'll et grow happily. But thirty seven is absurd.

325
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: Ridiculous number, no doubt and I'll pull up Pete Merovich's

326
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,039
official numbers here, but he was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks.

327
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,080
Jimmer Fernette was in the first round of the twenty

328
00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:34,879
eleven NBA Draft, eleventh overall for that play two hundred

329
00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:38,120
forty one games during his six seasons in the National

330
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,240
Basketball Association in the Jerry West League. He also played

331
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,840
overseas in China in Greece before transitioning to three on

332
00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:48,480
three hoops for Team USA and to qualify and compete

333
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:52,320
in the Paris Olympics. Jimmer Fernett one of the goats

334
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,000
of BYU basketball, getting his number hoisted into the rafters.

335
00:16:57,039 --> 00:16:59,919
Your thoughts, your reaction, your commentary, Brett always bringing the hammer,

336
00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:01,480
like you can chime in, and then I'll bring.

337
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,519
Speaker 3: Up the caboos.

338
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,039
Speaker 5: First off, I had a lot of anxiety leave my

339
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,400
body today because I've been sitting on this, I think

340
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,880
for like two months now. I've known about this, and

341
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,599
I was like, I'm gonna do my best. I'm not

342
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,559
gonna tell anybody. I'm just gonna wait. And the only

343
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,319
person I told was my wife. I was like, but

344
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,039
we cannot tell anybody about this, and so like I

345
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:22,759
was scheduling all the posts today and I was like,

346
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:24,920
please don't let them go early, like this is such

347
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,119
a big deal. So I had a lot of anxiety

348
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,000
leave my body today. So I'm glad that it's out

349
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:32,319
and that everybody knows about it. What's cool for me

350
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:35,119
with this is I think I've said a couple of

351
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720
times on this program. I didn't grow up a BYU fan.

352
00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:39,400
I didn't grow up in the state of Utah. I

353
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,559
grew up on the East coast between Atlanta, d C.

354
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,400
And Pennsylvania, and my parents didn't go to BYU, so

355
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,960
we didn't watch a whole lot of BYU growing up.

356
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,200
But I remember the very first time living in our

357
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,759
second house in d C, and my dad was like, Hey,

358
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:55,160
you know BYU's playing tonight, we should watch Dave. This

359
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,440
guy named Jimmer, he's pretty good. We should we should watch.

360
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,720
I was like, okay, And I don't know why. I've

361
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,559
never told Jim or this any of time. I don't

362
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:05,599
know why, but I assumed when my dad said jim Or,

363
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:10,279
I assumed he was black. I was like, Jimmer, okay.

364
00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:13,079
And then then I was watching the game, I was like,

365
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,279
which one is Jimmer? Like, Oh, it's that guy's like

366
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,519
that guy's white anyway, So that was my first introduction

367
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:21,920
to Jimer. And now honestly, that was my first introduction

368
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,440
to BYU basketball at all. And obviously we know what

369
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,359
he went on to do, and it's it's so cool

370
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,279
how even Jimmer stands the test of time, like not

371
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,599
even among BYU fans. I was talking to Jamie Erdall,

372
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,640
the host of Good Morning Football and NFL Network the

373
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,119
other day, and we were talking about some things and

374
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,160
because anyway, she was like, can you just let Jim

375
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,039
or know that I that I love his tournament run?

376
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: And then I still think about it, like twenty years later.

377
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,599
It's like I can let him know.

378
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,279
Speaker 5: Someone who's not associated with BOU is someone who doesn't

379
00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:57,400
have to glaze boy at all.

380
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: She's like, man, Jimmer's tournament run was the best.

381
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,559
Speaker 5: And then you think about like you go back and

382
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,799
you remember like Kevin Durant, the infamous tweet the best

383
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:08,240
score in the world, and all the other people who

384
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,200
tweeted about it, and just that was like the viral

385
00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:15,319
moment for BYU. I think if you ask non BYU

386
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,839
people about BYU, I think the first thing they go

387
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,839
to is Jimmer, and it's pretty cool now that we're

388
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,759
sitting here in this moment on January fourteenth, the month

389
00:19:26,799 --> 00:19:29,640
from now, the jersey is going to be retired. But

390
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:33,920
it's cool that the legacy of Jim Ormania is finally

391
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,160
getting a storybook ending Jimmer Fordett is the best score

392
00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:42,079
in the world, said KD once upon a time on

393
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,079
January twenty six, two thousand and eleven.

394
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,279
Speaker 3: So just a few days away from the anniversary.

395
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,079
Speaker 1: Ronald the three and man Weaver, your thoughts, your commentary,

396
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,400
what do you make of all this?

397
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, we know what has to happen,

398
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,839
been the requirements. I've talked to some of the information

399
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,039
directors of what it is and what it takes. And

400
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,319
it takes time. You know, there are people that wanted

401
00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:04,400
this last year the year before. It does take a

402
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,200
good amount of time. You have to obviously have a

403
00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:10,319
be you know, some type of national player of the

404
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,240
Year or have some big time accolate conference played drumas

405
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,119
all the records with that, and then you have to

406
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,480
play it professionally. And he's done that, He's even won

407
00:20:17,559 --> 00:20:20,000
with USA Basketball. He has everything that he needs and

408
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,559
you were just waiting on the timeline and grateful that

409
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:24,839
he was able to announce that. Shout out to Brett

410
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,319
being stressed. Holding information and knowing stuff is always not

411
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,279
the best. But you have to you have to wait

412
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,640
on that. But look, Ben, this is long overdue. Grateful

413
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,160
that Brian Santiago gave the call. Wishes would have gotten done,

414
00:20:37,519 --> 00:20:39,599
you know, two months ago, but here we are now

415
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:40,880
happy that is getting done.

416
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 2: And then part of the BYU press release.

417
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 4: You know it's gonna happen, like you said Valentine's and

418
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:48,960
I think no better way than to spend the day

419
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,160
with his his family, his lovely wife. You know, you

420
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,319
do something in the morning and then you get your

421
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,359
jersey retired at night.

422
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:54,839
Speaker 2: So so day.

423
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,559
Speaker 4: I love for Kugarnation number thirty two going up in

424
00:20:57,599 --> 00:20:59,160
the Raptors FOREV. And I'm gonna be honest, I don't

425
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,079
think anybody ever wont to play with the number thirty

426
00:21:01,079 --> 00:21:03,799
two after just knowing that about Jim Er. But now

427
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,839
it's officially been it will never ever be worn again,

428
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,920
and no one, even if there's a player better than

429
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,799
they did, don't you ever try to ask for that number,

430
00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:14,559
because it ain't happening. We will petition here on ESP

431
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,920
and the fan love that this is happening. Not many

432
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,599
players get their jersey retired in the Marriott Center. This

433
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,440
is one of the greats, so tip of the cap

434
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,200
to him. Very happy for Jim and his family. Posted

435
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,640
it right away when I saw it, I try to,

436
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,799
you know, give love to the former Cougars. He liked

437
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:29,880
and retweeted it, so he definitely is feeling the love

438
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,200
cougarnation if you want to think of number thirty two.

439
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 2: So happy for Jim or Ben.

440
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: You know what, I didn't realize he was on that

441
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:38,839
KD tweet and we referenced that a lot over the

442
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,519
years on this show. I had no idea that the

443
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:47,680
eventual director of BAU basketball recruiting was the first response

444
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:48,960
on that thread.

445
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: Did not know that, and that really January.

446
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: Twenty sixth, twenty eleven, Justin Young what says after after

447
00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:01,359
KD scored forty seven points night he tweets Jimmer Fodett

448
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,000
is the best score in the world. Quotation marks I'm

449
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,079
going to bed now look at I mean, tell me

450
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,440
if I'm wrong like you.

451
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,799
Speaker 3: I'm blown away.

452
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: Just Young the current b YU, the eventual b YU

453
00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:18,559
director of recruiting men's basketball, the brother of Kevin Young

454
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,319
was the first. It looks like at least I don't

455
00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:22,839
know if I'll have to look at the timeline, but

456
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,200
it was.

457
00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: Is on that day. It was on that night. Justin

458
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:28,279
Young commented on it.

459
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,319
Speaker 2: I'm putting in a request we need to get him

460
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:31,599
on the program.

461
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 3: To take him back into that moment. Were sitting at.

462
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: He was obviously in his bed, probably eating a sandwich

463
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:43,839
before he went to bed, probably had a you know,

464
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,119
nice cool glass of chocolate milk, and probably like a

465
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,119
like a turkey sandwich, know what I mean, Just like,

466
00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:54,200
you know, chowing down watching some hoop. I don't know

467
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,440
what you guys all eat, you know, when you're when

468
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:03,960
you're watching ball on your bed, A colts here, maybe, yeah,

469
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:07,279
maybe he's got some cinnamon toast crunch he's just chowing

470
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:07,920
down on.

471
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, it was fair life milkle around Anyway,

472
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,240
I had no idea.

473
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: Uh. The eventual director of recruiting for by U basketball

474
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:26,160
was the first response on that famous Katie thread. Anyway,

475
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,599
I got to know, uh, you know Jim Er a

476
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:31,920
little bit while he was at b YU. We were

477
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,599
we had some crossover, you know. I I ended up

478
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,920
graduating in two thousand and eight from Brigham University.

479
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,759
Speaker 3: The thing that I always love about Jim obviously.

480
00:23:42,519 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: His play, his scoring ability, the form, the fashion, the style,

481
00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:56,400
the savviness of of how he operated on the basketball court.

482
00:23:56,599 --> 00:24:00,880
Like obviously all that, but to me, as you've witnessed,

483
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,759
as you've experienced, he's one of those humble and kind

484
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:12,119
and good people that you could ever be around. Like

485
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,400
he's good to the bone, good to the core, Like

486
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,720
he's just he's pure in that regard, and so like

487
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,559
he's much more. He's even more likable, you know what

488
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:25,400
I mean in that in that sense, and he really

489
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,119
embodies what you want as a as a b YU

490
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,920
student athlete because of everything that he's able to do.

491
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: He's a he's a dog on the court, a competitor

492
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,039
on the court.

493
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: As soon as he gets off the court, he's just kind,

494
00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:39,880
loving christ like like and that somebody knows that is

495
00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:44,480
very very very difficult to do. It is not an

496
00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:49,119
easy thing. I struggled with it. I really did, Like

497
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,400
you know what I mean, Like it's a dogg eat

498
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,960
dog world in competitive sport, even when you're given a scholarship,

499
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,079
even when you're given opportunities, it's all about what you've

500
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,480
done for me lately, what you did in that game,

501
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,640
what you did you know, in the season, or you're

502
00:25:05,839 --> 00:25:06,839
and you're replaceable.

503
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: And that's why you see.

504
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: Some of like the transhroportal chaos that ensues because like

505
00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:15,400
once you come to the realization of how transactional sports

506
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,559
can be and how like your window of opportunity is

507
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,079
very limited and you have this one time, one shot,

508
00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:22,839
as Eminem said, like you know, dun du du du

509
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,039
du du, you know what I mean, Like it's just

510
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,160
one opportunity.

511
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:28,599
Speaker 3: What will you do with it? And so you're like,

512
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:30,200
oh my gosh, I gotta just go maximize it.

513
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: Anyway, with that pressure, sometimes you become transactional and you're

514
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,880
like not all that like engaged in community. You're like,

515
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,359
I got to put in work because I could be

516
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,920
replacing anything anyway. That's what stands out to me about

517
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,440
Jim or is is and that's why I love Jened

518
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,519
Like I've had him on the show so many times,

519
00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:51,839
I've interacted with him so many times, uh, and just

520
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,279
love and appreciate him as a friend, as as a

521
00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:00,640
as a human and yeah, and as a bad ketball player.

522
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,920
But to me, all of this stuff on the on

523
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:09,480
the court obviously is is just amazing to me because

524
00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:12,960
of what he was off the court and what he

525
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:14,279
has become off the court.

526
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,079
Speaker 3: That is I think the thing that surprised me.

527
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 5: Most about meeting Jimmer because the first, so, the first

528
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,079
time I ever worked with Jim Er was I think

529
00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:27,559
two or three years ago we called a Big twelve

530
00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:30,640
women's basketball game together, and I was like so nervous.

531
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: To be working on a broadcast with the Jimmer for that,

532
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,079
And like.

533
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:37,759
Speaker 5: He's standing there like we're doing TV, and like he's

534
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:39,799
not pretending like he's the smartest guy in the room,

535
00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:41,720
Like he's asking questions.

536
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 3: Like he he never you never, I don't know.

537
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 5: When I talk to Jim Er, I never feel like, oh,

538
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,240
I'm talking to this esoteric basketball great. I just feel

539
00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:55,200
like I'm talking to just a dude, just a goofy

540
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:57,960
guy who loves basketball and he loves ball. Baby, he

541
00:26:58,079 --> 00:27:00,880
just loves ball. And he's just a human being. And

542
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,119
and and as as we work in sports, like we

543
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,400
run into a lot of individuals. We meet a lot

544
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,839
of individuals, and and some of them are more warm

545
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,000
than others, some of them are more cold than others

546
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,319
and you never really know what you're gonna get.

547
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 3: And to your point, probably the.

548
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 5: Best thing about Jimmer is that as good as he

549
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:25,279
is on the court, as great as he was on

550
00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:29,680
the court, he's just as good, probably even better, of

551
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,000
a human being because he has every excuse in the world.

552
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,960
I mean, let's be honest, if he's still walked around

553
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,720
every day like yeah, I'm the b YU legend man,

554
00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:40,039
like I don't know why you're coming and talking.

555
00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:47,559
Speaker 1: He could he could do that, he could walk like that.

556
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:48,599
We're like, yeah, that's generous.

557
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 5: I mean, he earned it what he did fifteen years ago,

558
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,920
Like he he got it, he can have it. He

559
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,119
he never he doesn't do that. That's not how he acts.

560
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,680
That's not But I think at the end of the day,

561
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,960
like it comes down to who are you like at

562
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,920
your core, and at Jimmer's core as a human being,

563
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,559
that's just that's just not who he is. He doesn't

564
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,519
need to be the guy with his face on everything.

565
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:14,839
He doesn't need you to know who he is, like,

566
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,920
he's just a kid who loved basketball and happened to

567
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,039
be really good at it.

568
00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 3: I also want to give a big Cougar roar to TJ.

569
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,759
Speaker 1: Furdett, his older brother at the contract like, you guys

570
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:29,640
don't realize. I mean you hear me say, there's a

571
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,319
lot on the show, those that are around and those

572
00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:33,720
that tune in, Like.

573
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: You know, we're mammals.

574
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: Mammals need mentors, and you're only as good as the

575
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,720
people you surround yourself with.

576
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,599
Speaker 3: Right, it rubs off on you. You know you need

577
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,559
like you.

578
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: Raise a line in captivity and you send them out

579
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,920
to the wild. That thing's gonna get is it's booty beat.

580
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,559
It's gonna die, you know what I mean? Why because

581
00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:55,359
it hasn't been mentored in the wild by wild lions

582
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,319
right to be able to survive and thrive. So I

583
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,839
look at, say for dead as the older brother who

584
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,240
was a good basketball player in his own right, and

585
00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:10,519
he saw the potential and the clay of a chubby, smart,

586
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:15,119
hard working younger brother, and he said, look.

587
00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: What goals do you have? Because you know, TJ is

588
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,359
probably like I wish I would have had this. I

589
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:22,599
wish I would have had I look I wash like

590
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:22,960
I was.

591
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,759
Speaker 1: I look at my brothers. I was like, I'll tell them, like,

592
00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:28,759
why didn't you guys help me out? I was by myself.

593
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,119
Dad was working long hours, you know, and any any

594
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,079
work that he you know, after the after the practice,

595
00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:36,960
after his dental price.

596
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,759
Speaker 3: He would go over to the school board. Me and I.

597
00:29:39,319 --> 00:29:40,200
Where were you guys?

598
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: Mike was studying, Josh was getting into all manner.

599
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 3: Of of of mischief. David mostly just hit me, you know.

600
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,799
Speaker 1: I mean that a whole lot of mentorship there, man,

601
00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:55,759
I had to, I had defend for myself, mammalsdean mentors. TJ,

602
00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:59,799
for that deserves some credit for the path I've seen.

603
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: Jim did it? Jim or did it? Uh? But TJ was.

604
00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:09,559
Speaker 1: A foster of of greatness and accountability. We all need

605
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:12,240
a bar to leap over, right, You need someone to

606
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:13,640
set that bar up.

607
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,519
Speaker 3: So some of us are self starters.

608
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,279
Speaker 1: Some of us need you know that, uh, that additional

609
00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:27,000
help right in that mentorship to really take us to

610
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:27,559
that next level.

611
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:29,519
Speaker 3: TJ was one of those guys for Jimmer.

you love the way you feel. Okay, so let's delve

660
00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:07,920
into b YU basketball versus TCU real quick. The injury

661
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:12,079
report has dropped how we feel in right now regarding

662
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,200
our injury report coming out of Brigham Young University, Obviously

663
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,240
you have the four uh, you know outs that you

664
00:33:20,279 --> 00:33:22,240
don't like to see. You don't like to see guys

665
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,720
that are out for the season, Brodi Koslowski. Uh, you

666
00:33:24,799 --> 00:33:27,920
have Nate Pickens and Dawson Baker all out. kJ Perry

667
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:28,799
is red shirting.

668
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 5: I know, why does he need to be on the

669
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:33,119
I'm sure there's a reason for it, but there I

670
00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:33,880
don't know.

671
00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:36,759
Speaker 3: Red shirting. Yeah, if he's red shirting, like, I don't know.

672
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:38,799
I don't remember that with football, did we?

673
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because he's eligible, But anyway,

674
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:45,519
like that's a question. Maybe for the the Tyson Jecks,

675
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,079
you can you can send that one over to to

676
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:50,640
UH to the s I d if you want Ronald

677
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,759
of the three man Weaver, Yeah, questionable x X go

678
00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:59,200
not gonna give it to you, possibly tonight, uh Zadian

679
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:02,680
Stton going to be available. Looks like questionable is what

680
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,720
he's being labeled as. Abdullah Ahmed Vidu is number thirty four.

681
00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:11,400
He's probable, So that's good news for Brigham. We don't

682
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,719
want any more attrition amongst the bigs. I don't think

683
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:19,679
we can have any more attrition amongst the bigs. Like

684
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,000
we're still we're pretty aren't we.

685
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:22,559
Speaker 3: I mean.

686
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Unproven Staton Keba has had some concussions, et cetera, and

687
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,079
he's been a little bit sick. Abdullah Ahmed, you brought

688
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:36,880
him in and gloriously like, I mean, he's a nice product.

689
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:41,079
He's a he's a pretty polished product. And uh he's

690
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:43,639
played a lot of basketball. You can tell that one

691
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:46,079
turnover was like ah, you know, but he looks pretty good.

692
00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:49,400
He looks pretty balanced in his skill set, and he's

693
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,039
becoming abreast. I think of the schematics both offensively and

694
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:55,079
defensively quite rapidly.

695
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 3: So.

696
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,599
Speaker 1: But the injury report, it's okay, we know where we stand.

697
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:04,920
For or TCU, they have Vianni Salachikum and Malik Diallo.

698
00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:09,199
Malik actually is a former, if I'm not mistaken, a

699
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,960
BYU recruit, so they have a lot of different connection

700
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:19,639
points with with BYU. Malik Diallo was heavily recruited by

701
00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:23,480
the BAU coaching staff six ten two thirty center and

702
00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:28,920
uh TCU cal Vanderbilt. Obviously BYU Miami raw in the mix.

703
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,559
He went to Wassatch Academy, So there you go. You

704
00:35:33,639 --> 00:35:38,880
have obviously Tanner Toolsen and Adam Stewart all with connections

705
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,599
with the BAYU Cougar basketball team as well Malik Diallo

706
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:46,360
out though for the TCU horn Frogs. BYU. Have you

707
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,480
favored in this game? Last time I looked at was

708
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,320
twelve and a half points. So if you're a betting man,

709
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:52,760
would you pick the over?

710
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 3: Would you? Would you? Sorry?

711
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: The the over is a I think the point total

712
00:35:57,039 --> 00:35:59,400
is like one fifty five and a half and then

713
00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:01,679
that seven and a half line. Do you think BYU

714
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,440
covers in this game? Is it plus twelve and a

715
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:06,639
half that you'd be picking?

716
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 5: TCU has top six defense, I believe in the Big twelve,

717
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,840
but I also believe they're one of the lowest scoring

718
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,119
offenses in the Big twelve.

719
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,559
Speaker 1: TCU Ken Palm rating is fifty second. Their net ranking sorry,

720
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:25,480
their net rakings forty second. Ken Palm is fifty second.

721
00:36:25,599 --> 00:36:29,159
They're eleven and five right now, and let me pull

722
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,760
up their offensive and defensive stats real quick for you,

723
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,079
by the way, stat of the day brought to you

724
00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:39,360
by Betterwellbatterwell dot com. Like the last six national champions

725
00:36:40,079 --> 00:36:43,280
have all had these three things in top common an

726
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:48,599
NBA draft pick okay number two, a top ten Ken

727
00:36:48,639 --> 00:36:52,400
Palm offensive efficiency rating, and then a top twenty five

728
00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:56,159
defensive efficiency rating. BYU currently has obviously the number one

729
00:36:56,199 --> 00:36:59,159
overall pick in aj DEVONSA. Most likely they are number

730
00:36:59,159 --> 00:37:03,039
eight in offensive efficiency and number eighteen and defensive efficiency.

731
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: So you're telling me there's a chance, hammertime show, I'm

732
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:06,840
telling you there's a chance.

733
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, tc was bring the mic up a little closer, brother,

734
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,119
BOYU is tenth sorry. TCU is tenth in Big twelve

735
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:16,719
offense and six in Big twelve defense, so they are

736
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,480
one of the best defensive teams in the conference.

737
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 3: They have twenty five per Ken Palm.

738
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,519
Speaker 5: They're actually tied at sixty six sixty seven point seven

739
00:37:24,559 --> 00:37:27,800
points per game with BYU. So as good as Bou's

740
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,199
defense is, TCU has also been good.

741
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,159
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would.

742
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: I think I would take the over in this one,

743
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,400
actually because for two words, let me give it to

744
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,360
you like this Marry It Center, and I think, look,

745
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,639
I think with the announcement today, that place is gonna

746
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:46,719
be extra buzzing. I realize the retirement's not happening today,

747
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,440
but I just think Cougar Nation is feeling amp today.

748
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,920
They're coming back in the building after a win over Utah.

749
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:56,400
I think as good as TCU is, I think BYU

750
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,199
wins this thing by fifteen.

751
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 3: So I think I would take. I think you will

752
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,280
cover the spread on that one.

753
00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: At home, they're scoring a lot of points. They've surpassed.

754
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,679
They've eclipsed over one hundred points the last two outings,

755
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,400
and they flirted with one hundred.

756
00:38:11,199 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: With Versus Pacific Pacific there.

757
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,079
Speaker 1: And then you see riverside of the eclipse one hundred.

758
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:21,000
Now tc is a better defensive team, So I don't

759
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,159
know if they eclipse one hundred, but they can definitely

760
00:38:25,159 --> 00:38:26,719
get buckets, no doubt about it.

761
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:28,079
Speaker 3: At the Marriott Center.

762
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: They should be in Fuego, they should be looking good,

763
00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:33,480
feeling good, playing good b WLLU fifteen to one thus

764
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:36,840
far the season, second in the Big twelve, and statistically,

765
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,679
AJ debots is scoring twenty two point nine points per game.

766
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,039
We mentioned this before his attempt total. His max attempt

767
00:38:45,079 --> 00:38:50,559
toal has been eighteen attempts. Jimmer fer Dat his senior year,

768
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,840
it tally thirty seven attempts in that New Mexico game.

769
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,679
What's the highest attempt rate do you think we're gonna

770
00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:01,239
see from Aj to Bonsa this year.

771
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 5: Part of the issue with that question is my guess

772
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,400
is I haven't done the numbers on this ron proved.

773
00:39:09,519 --> 00:39:12,119
Speaker 3: Tell me if I'm wrong. My guess is AJ's shooting

774
00:39:12,159 --> 00:39:13,480
more free throws than Jimmerferd.

775
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,119
Speaker 5: That was but only by virtue of I think AJ's

776
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,719
driving to the brim more than Jimmer was.

777
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,199
Speaker 3: Not by a massive margin, but I bet he is.

778
00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:24,079
And that's why I think.

779
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 5: Even if, even if, because I think we'll get a

780
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,400
forty point game from Aj at some point, I don't

781
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,800
think he's gonna be taking thirty seven attempts because I

782
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,840
think a lot of his points are just gonna be

783
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,840
him getting buckets at the free throw line.

784
00:39:36,559 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: Jimmer to give you some feedback here. I'll give you

785
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:46,480
the totals free throw attempts, and he's kind of his

786
00:39:46,559 --> 00:39:48,400
senior now. In that New Mexico game where he went

787
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,480
off for fifty two, he only had one free throw attempt,

788
00:39:51,559 --> 00:39:55,800
but he had in the NCAA tournament seven five, twelve,

789
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,719
eleven versus San Diego State, six twelve twelve, six, sixteen,

790
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:11,599
nine eight four, sixteen eleven, five eleven, seventeen attempts versus

791
00:40:11,639 --> 00:40:17,320
Colorado State his senior year, ten versus UNLV, ten versus Buffalo.

792
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, he was getting to the he

793
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,199
was getting to the free throw line a lot. But

794
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,559
that being said, AJ's free.

795
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,159
Speaker 1: Throw attempt highest free throw attempt was versus ACU.

796
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 3: He had twenty.

797
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,119
Speaker 1: He's got twelve eleven, ten, eleven, twenty ten versus Clemson.

798
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 3: It's a similar.

799
00:40:38,599 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: Rate, but you're right, it's probably more towards AJ, just

800
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,639
because he I mean, he can get literally anywhere on

801
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:48,000
the court. Jim Or could, but he was pulling up

802
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,880
from the logo. He was pulling up from the logo

803
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,400
as well. There's no doubt he was much more. I mean,

804
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,719
he was definitely taking plenty of three point shots. In

805
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:58,159
conjunction with his free throw attempts, and that's why he

806
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:03,039
became the Nasmith Award winner. Took He took fourteen attempts

807
00:41:03,119 --> 00:41:07,199
versus un M from the three point Lives fourteen fifteen

808
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:08,599
versus Florida.

809
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 3: Isn't AJ's high eighteen freaking news.

Speaker 4: I was debating if I wanted to do this, but

818
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,320
it is news and is related to basketball. But Ben,

819
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,280
the NCAA approved a new transfer portal window for NCAA

820
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,239
basketball fifteen day window that begins after the championship game.

821
00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:44,599
Speaker 2: I will read as follows.

822
00:41:44,599 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 4: At the recommendation of the Men's and Women's Basketball over

823
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:50,360
Psyche committees, the transfer windows and Men's and Women's basketball

824
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,880
will open for fifteen day period after the championship game

825
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,440
for the respective NCAA tournament. The changes are effective immediately

826
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,639
when the head coach changes occurs of fifteen day period

827
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:02,840
will open five days after the new head coach is

828
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,760
hired or publicly announced. If a new coach is not

829
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,599
announced within thirty days of the previous head coach of departures,

830
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,480
at the thirty first day after the head coach of

831
00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:12,840
departures is after the championship.

832
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,039
Speaker 2: Game, a fifteen day window will open.

833
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:17,519
Speaker 4: The additional head coach departure window is available only after

834
00:42:17,559 --> 00:42:21,360
the basketball transfer window opens through January. Second and basketball

835
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,400
media transfers are not eligible to compete at a second

836
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,880
school if they enroll at an NCAA school.

837
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: During the first academic term.

838
00:42:28,559 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 4: Regardless of whether they are whether they are what is

839
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,440
it competed there or not?

840
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,519
Speaker 2: That is per the NCAA been so a new transfer window.

841
00:42:37,199 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 3: New transfer window.

842
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,599
Speaker 1: There you have it, a little timeline, little calendar. Look,

843
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,840
the calendars messed up. I think the biggest issue And

844
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,800
I wrote about this when the Kilani, the potential Killani

845
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:57,119
collapse was occurring, the Penn State attempt to acquire coach

846
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,840
or coach, and I was like, Man, it sucks that

847
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,559
we're having to deal with this right now. Amidst we

848
00:43:05,559 --> 00:43:07,880
were on the brink of getting into the transfer portal, right,

849
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:11,599
and and that opening and getting prepped also for the

850
00:43:11,599 --> 00:43:13,880
Big twelve championship game, like we shouldn't have had to

851
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,320
deal with that at that time at any rate.

852
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

853
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,639
Speaker 1: The calendar needs to change, and they're trying to make amends.

854
00:43:21,639 --> 00:43:25,559
The head coaches from around college football. They're meeting right now.

855
00:43:25,559 --> 00:43:27,920
They're trying to vote on things, they're trying to evaluate things,

856
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,239
and so we've seen a couple of different things come

857
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,920
out of those meetings. One of those meetings is or

858
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,079
one of those those decisions was the nine game red

859
00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:39,159
shirt rule that we'll have to go to the I

860
00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:42,280
believe the NC Double A subcommittee, and that has to

861
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,480
be approved per the NC Double A.

862
00:43:44,639 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 3: So that's where we stand right now. A little breaking.

863
00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: News, not the biggest breaking news we've ever broken here

864
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:53,519
on the show, but some breaking news, no doubt about it.

865
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,079
A couple of things here as we delve into the

866
00:43:57,119 --> 00:44:01,239
prep for the BYU versus TCU, we hopped on or

867
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,920
rather we caught up with Matt Carlino yesterday. For those

868
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,480
that missed it, download the podcast. One were BYU point Guard.

869
00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:09,800
I found it an interesting you know, the reasons why

870
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,840
he entered the Portal Once.

871
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 3: Upon a time.

872
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: Now this is over a decade ago, right, and he

873
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,320
had played at he had committed I believe the UCLA

874
00:44:18,519 --> 00:44:20,840
he committed and ended up at BYU. He was kind

875
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,719
of a midyear transfer when he came in to BYU.

876
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:25,840
Ended up being, in my opinion, one of the best

877
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,639
point guards in his two and a half year tenure.

878
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,119
It was pretty impressive to see what he was able

879
00:44:31,119 --> 00:44:35,199
to accomplish. He entered the Portal, if you will, the

880
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,960
former portal because the coaching staff was one to move

881
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:44,719
him to the two spot, okay, alongside Kyle Collinsworth. Now

882
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,199
we all know Kyle collins Worth ended up being one

883
00:44:46,199 --> 00:44:48,840
of the best point guards in BAU basketball history. The

884
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:54,559
triple double King, right, he still leads. He still has

885
00:44:54,599 --> 00:44:59,760
that record. I believe triple doubles NC double a history guys.

886
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,519
One of the best ever, right and a great distributor

887
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,320
of the ball. There's no doubt about it. So I

888
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,280
understand the thinking the methodology of that because Kyle was

889
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,119
a fantastic I think he had twelve triple doubles and

890
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,199
the following year in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen or with

891
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,000
the two fourteen, twenty and fifteen I can't recall, but

892
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:26,679
it always stinks to like lose great players via the portal.

893
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:33,480
Basketball really hasn't been impacted as much as as football.

894
00:45:33,639 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 3: Like you look at the you know, the difference that you.

895
00:45:35,639 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: Compare, contrast the two.

896
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 3: Rosters over the years.

897
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: Who's transferring out, who's who's who's transferring in? And I think, man,

898
00:45:44,599 --> 00:45:47,679
I want to say football has done better than basketball.

899
00:45:48,679 --> 00:45:50,360
I think, you know what, let me point this out

900
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,079
real quick. I think BYU has been more impacted by

901
00:45:54,199 --> 00:45:57,159
actually players going to the NBA or going overseas than

902
00:45:57,159 --> 00:46:02,360
they have necessarily transferring away from b Yu Elijah Bryant,

903
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Elijah Bryant hurt, Eric Meeka hurt.

904
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,079
Speaker 3: Matt Carlino actually brought that up yesterday.

905
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,079
Speaker 1: Had Eric Meeker been able to play the following year,

906
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:15,440
that team probably could have made it a little bit

907
00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:18,920
deeper in the NCAA tournament. I think they were a

908
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,599
little bit guard light, and it didn't have a whole

909
00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:24,840
lot of big men either on that squad. It was

910
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,239
kind of a five out if it kind of felt

911
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,639
like a five out type of offense that year. But

912
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,920
any rate, if you haven't if you haven't listened to

913
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,599
that interview with Matt Carlino. I thought it was interesting

914
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,000
how it all played out. I think we're past the

915
00:46:37,039 --> 00:46:40,079
statute of limitations, and Matt was willing and ready to

916
00:46:40,159 --> 00:46:41,079
talk about a little bit.

917
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it was in full full depth.

918
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it was getting into the minutia, but

919
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,320
he gave a few of the reasons why he left

920
00:46:49,639 --> 00:46:52,519
BYU and went to Marquette.

921
00:46:52,039 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: That final season.

922
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,039
Speaker 1: So something to maybe take a look at if you're

923
00:46:57,039 --> 00:46:58,679
a BYU fan, if you'd like to get into the

924
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,960
past element of what happened, how it happened here on

925
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,559
your Utah ESPN Radio network. Let's take a brief time out.

926
00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:09,280
We talked to some BAU basketball BA versus TCU BA.

927
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,960
You heavily favored, obviously Obviously in this game, we welcome

928
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,000
back Matt Carlino to the Merriatt Center, Tanner Toolson back

929
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,880
to the Merritt Center, and Malik Diallo as well as

930
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,280
Adam Stewart, all with connections to the BAU Cougar basketball program.

931
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:29,360
And I'm predicting a big victory over the TCU Hornfrog.

932
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:30,679
Speaker 3: No if ans or butch about it.

933
00:47:31,199 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: One of the things that I'll mention here when we

934
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,159
when we first jumped into the Big Twelve, we were

935
00:47:39,199 --> 00:47:43,679
discussing rivalry games. We were discussing, okay, apart from remember

936
00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:46,679
Utah was not in the Big Twelve at that time,

937
00:47:47,039 --> 00:47:51,400
we were discussing who would be BYU's rival in football

938
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,199
and basketball, and I want to say it was pretty

939
00:47:55,239 --> 00:48:00,199
conclusive from BYU fans, they felt that TCU would be

940
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,119
their rival going forward.

941
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 3: Has that played out? Has that played out on the

942
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,280
football field? Has that played out on the basketball court?

943
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,440
Do you think Brent always bringing the hammer? I don't

944
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:15,519
think so. It really hasn' like, uh, who was Spitgate?

945
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,320
That was Texas Tech? Texas Tech was Spitgate. I honestly

946
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,039
think Texas Tech is. I mean, it's a one sided

947
00:48:22,119 --> 00:48:24,440
rivalry for recent history given.

948
00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 1: But BYU got them out on their home right field

949
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,119
a couple of years ago, I think.

950
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,199
Speaker 5: And honestly, if you're the Big Twelve, if you are

951
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,599
Brett or Mark, I think you want BYU Texas Tech

952
00:48:34,639 --> 00:48:37,559
to be a little bit of a rivalry because I

953
00:48:37,599 --> 00:48:40,719
think you want that to be your new Texas Oklahoma.

954
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,079
Speaker 3: It's not gonna beat out the rivalry that Bui Utah have.

955
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,559
Speaker 5: But I think in the branding of the Big Twelve,

956
00:48:46,639 --> 00:48:49,119
you need to know who are your top dogs. And

957
00:48:49,159 --> 00:48:54,000
BYU and Texas Tech are both great football and basketball schools. Yeah,

958
00:48:54,039 --> 00:48:56,039
I think if you're the Big twelve, you say, hey,

959
00:48:56,039 --> 00:48:58,039
what do we have to do to pump BYU in

960
00:48:58,079 --> 00:49:00,639
Texas Tech to the top Because if that becomes like

961
00:49:00,679 --> 00:49:03,199
a true rivalry every year there competing for the Big

962
00:49:03,199 --> 00:49:07,760
Twelve title, I think that makes the Big Twelve more desirable.

963
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:08,039
Speaker 3: To the national media.

964
00:49:08,039 --> 00:49:11,679
Speaker 1: Honestly, there was a little bit of Baylor, Yes, like

965
00:49:12,599 --> 00:49:16,079
to like Baylor was gonna be a team that there

966
00:49:16,159 --> 00:49:21,039
was gonna be some some rivalrous activity with both in

967
00:49:21,079 --> 00:49:22,360
football and basketball.

968
00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: A lot of people felt that way.

969
00:49:26,079 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, Utah is Utah and

970
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,719
that's gonna be. But it was before Utah got involved.

971
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,280
It was was invited to the Big Twelve, before they

972
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,199
got the invited in and accepted it, before the Pac

973
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:39,400
twelve came crashing down.

974
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,519
Speaker 3: But I like the idea of Texas Tech.

975
00:49:42,079 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: Right You're you're looking at Tech and by U in

976
00:49:45,039 --> 00:49:49,360
both football and basketball resource allocation. UH kind of a

977
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:53,119
chip on the shoulder. Similar cultures. UH in in the

978
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:58,320
sense of like roster roster cultures. But you've already had

979
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,719
Spitgate and and uh, you know you've had some competitive

980
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,000
battles on the football field, and I a basketball court.

981
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,800
Phero could end up being BYU in Texas Tech. Let's

982
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,840
go to break. Don't go anywhere more to get to
