Take us back to that interview after that 68 00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:51,879 big time win. I know you've been asked this question 69 00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,560 many times two thousand and seven, fourth and eighteen, you 70 00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:58,879 guys convert obviously BYU ends up winning that game. What 71 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,159 was going through your mind when you were getting interviewed 72 00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,000 in that moment? And why did you utter the magic happens? 73 00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:09,439 Speaker 2: Uh refrain, Yeah, I don't know. 74 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: I I uh, you know, at that point in time, 75 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,439 I believed in preparation, right, Like that was such a 76 00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,120 big part of my game is preparing. You know. I 77 00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:18,959 kind of had a mantra that I that I had 78 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,439 developed on my church mission that you know, that had 79 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,160 no regrets and and uh, you know, I kind of 80 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,040 took that same mantra and added to my two uh 81 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:31,439 you know, to to my life on the field. And 82 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,199 you know, the the idea was that you know, if 83 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,639 if you prepare, you make sure you're prepared, opportunities going 84 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,800 to come. And when that opportunities comes if you if 85 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,360 you put in the preparation and you've been doing what 86 00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:50,439 you know, what what is asked of you by by 87 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,160 the man above, right, Like that combination is gonna is 88 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,879 going to produce some fruit, right kind of going to 89 00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:01,439 produce some success. So uh uh you know, I've been 90 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,720 a constant believer in that that everything works out the 91 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,040 way that it should as long as you're doing what 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,079 you're supposed to be doing. 93 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 3: Obviously, Uh, I think what was your record all time 94 00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:15,639 versus Utah in the rivalry game? 95 00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:17,519 Speaker 2: Do you just get that one win in two thousand 96 00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:17,879 and seven? 97 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,519 Speaker 4: Note grade one, one and two one and two? 98 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 5: Ben? 99 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,959 Speaker 2: What happened in the last right? 100 00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 3: Like you know when b YU loses these games, typically 101 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,279 they're pretty competitive, right, they go back and forth. You know, 102 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:33,800 there's uh there's typically controversy that that swells around these games. 103 00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: And you know prior and in postgame and during the game. 104 00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: So what happened in the games in which you you 105 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,399 guys just fell short, Well, it. 106 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 4: Doesn't help you play the two best Utah teams in history, 107 00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:48,000 in the history of the school. 108 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: Right, Oh wait right? 109 00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 4: Perfect? Oh wait yeah, yeah, the the the two best 110 00:05:56,079 --> 00:06:02,480 teams in uh yeah, in Utah, his stree. You know, 111 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,839 we were we were pretty good four you know, uh, 112 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,399 probably the best five and six team in the country. 113 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:15,240 Uh so not great, went and played Alex Smith and 114 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,319 Eric Weddle and and uh Paris Warren and all those guys. 115 00:06:19,959 --> 00:06:21,720 They went on to go to Fiesta Bowl and win, 116 00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:28,160 and then yeah, then then played the eight or sorry seventeen. 117 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,959 I went on to play Alabama the Sugar Bowl and 118 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,759 beat them. Had you know, four number one or first 119 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,879 round draft picks on that team at the time. So 120 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,040 you know, it's kind of lucky. The draw, just bad luck. 121 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,839 That's what happened. 122 00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: Then awesome calling here on ESPN the fan. But you 123 00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:50,000 did get that win obviously in O seven, and you 124 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,439 were you were coming off the mish, and you probably 125 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920 weren't running on all cylinders coming off the mish, you know, 126 00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:58,199 struggling through you know, the the post mission legs, et cetera. 127 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,839 But that was an iconic win, like when we talk 128 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:04,800 about iconic wins, oh seven, uh in you know Max Hall, 129 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:07,759 you know going off in eight, that was a big one. 130 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,959 You in the in the post game in O seven, 131 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,480 and so these are these are memories that fans that 132 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,600 created a generation of fans, right, And in your upbringing 133 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,399 in in the Collie home, obviously you guys were were 134 00:07:22,439 --> 00:07:27,120 BYU fans, and so these moments, I believe they create 135 00:07:27,319 --> 00:07:31,759 generational fans, these wins, these games create generational fans for 136 00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:36,000 either side of of the robbery. So like, growing up, 137 00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:39,040 what do you remember about this rivaly game? And obviously 138 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,720 you had a four you have a dad that that 139 00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:42,959 played in this game, but what do you recall about it? 140 00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: Uh? 141 00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:47,319 Speaker 4: To be honest, Ben, I don't remember anything about this game. 142 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,240 I was a I was a Pac ten only. It 143 00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:54,480 was a Pac ten only household. Right. Growing up in 144 00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,720 grown up in California, we didn't watch too many BYU 145 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,560 football games, and so I was unaware of even what 146 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,319 the what the rivalry was all about until my freshman 147 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:08,680 year right made it made a couple of comments after 148 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,439 playing New Mexico and found out quickly what what this 149 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,439 rivalry meant. After my comments, we're we're you know, uh 150 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:24,920 hit the airwaves uh and had some unhappy, disgrontal youth 151 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:28,480 fans coming after me. So UH got got a real 152 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:32,559 quick lesson, uh of what the rivalry means to a 153 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480 lot of people in this state. And amongst the entire 154 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,000 fan base for both fan bases. But you know, I've 155 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,440 fallen in love with it. I I now know my 156 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,600 kids now know what that rivalry means. Right, Like they 157 00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:51,120 were getting harassed at at uh at at elementary school, 158 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,080 right crying coming home saying, Johnny just told me that 159 00:08:55,159 --> 00:09:00,440 you're a loser. Uh uh, you know because you played 160 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,039 for BYU and you lost the Utah, et cetera. So 161 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,399 you know, they now have a realistic understanding of what 162 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000 the rivalry means. And yeah, we look forward to it 163 00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:12,600 every year. 164 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 3: When you evaluate the rivalry, right nineteen seventy two and 165 00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:18,399 Lavelle took over, like it was dominant all the way 166 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,000 through the early nineties. BYU I think won pretty much 167 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,240 every single one of those games minus two from nineteen 168 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,320 seventy two to nineteen ninety two. All of a sudden 169 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,960 nineteen ninety three that the it just turned right. It 170 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,799 became more of like a fifty to fifty game. From 171 00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,200 nineteen ninety three through two thousand and nine, I think 172 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,159 it was like split down the middle. Utah one half 173 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,360 of them, BYU won half of them. And then you 174 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:47,200 go to twenty ten and Kywittingham and the Utes rattle 175 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,799 off nine straight by us on a two game winning streak. 176 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 2: Now, when you look at those numbers, like what. 177 00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:55,279 Speaker 3: Stands out to you about whether or not BYU's winning 178 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,240 these games or losing these games over maybe that history. 179 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,879 Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what. I can't talk to what's 180 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:09,279 happened before you know, I got there. But you know, 181 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,960 I think the biggest gap that's happened since two thousand 182 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,679 and nine up until a couple of years ago. I 183 00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:18,399 think that could be directly correlated to the fact that 184 00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:21,279 around that time is when Utah made the jump to 185 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:25,600 go to the Tack twelve, right, and we at Duyu 186 00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:27,799 stayed as an independent school. 187 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 5: Right. 188 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 4: I think that has a lot to do with it, right, 189 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,480 I mean, you look at BYU and the trajectory that 190 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,519 we're on now, don't I don't think it's I don't 191 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,279 think it's crazy to think that. Hey, you know, joining 192 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,759 a Power five conference or a powerful conference like Big 193 00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:48,120 twelve helps helps the recruiting, helps the funding, it helps 194 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:52,679 in marketing, help, it helps in everything, right, and those 195 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,840 types of things bring a certain energy to the program. 196 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,960 I mean, Kilani has done a phenomenal job of creating 197 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,759 that energy, but it went to a different level once 198 00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:03,159 we decided that we were going to be in the 199 00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:07,360 Big twelve, right, So I think that played a huge 200 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,720 part in just the discrepancy of funding, the discrepancy of 201 00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:14,320 recruiting from Utah. They went and they went to the 202 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,840 PAC twelve and we remained or went to independent. 203 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 5: Right. 204 00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:21,799 Speaker 4: But now I think there's there's gonna be a lot 205 00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,960 of parody, right given the fact that especially we're the 206 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,799 same conference, pulling from the same recruiting pole. 207 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: So do you feel, like you mentioned parody, will there 208 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,039 be kind of an equivalency, kind of a back and 209 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,600 forth once again? Do you think do you think by 210 00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:39,879 you now, as they were operating for a long time 211 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,159 without as many resources, they kept it competitive obviously in 212 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,960 these games during independence, but. 213 00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:48,639 Speaker 2: Weren't able to come out with victories. 214 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 3: Do you feel like they're on a better trajectory than 215 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,720 Utah now that they're in the same conference with maybe 216 00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:58,000 an increase in nil funds, you know, finally getting kind 217 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,440 of the weight room, nutrition, medical staff, et cetera. Are 218 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,440 they are they on even footing or do you think 219 00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,159 maybe got a leg up on Utah in the near future. 220 00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, I don't know. 221 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 5: I think. 222 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,639 Speaker 4: I think it's definitely going to be a back and forth, right, 223 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,039 Like these games are always going to be close, except 224 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,519 for the years that I played. Okay, Uh, they're they're 225 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,519 they're always going to be close games. 226 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,039 Speaker 2: Because that's it just got out of hand in the fourth. 227 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 4: I don't know sure. I mean, what was the final 228 00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:45,240 score there? Lost by twenty So yeah, I think I 229 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440 think it's it is going to be like I said, 230 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,879 the the the meaning of this rivalry. You're going to 231 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:55,080 get the best out of both teams. This is why 232 00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,879 this is why you know, this week scares all the fans, right, 233 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,960 because you could go either way, and I think we've 234 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,240 seen some crazy things happen, and that's just because of 235 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,039 what the rivalry means. I think the fact that we're 236 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440 all in the same conference and and combined with the 237 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,279 nil right like a lot of these kids, like I 238 00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:15,600 mean you take a look at you know too, or 239 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000 at least one of our our star defensive linemen was 240 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,559 playing in Utah last year, right, I mean the fact 241 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:29,919 that we're so close, uh geographically, and you know, with 242 00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:32,000 with the transfer portal being the way that it is, 243 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,840 with plumbing being the way that it is with it 244 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,320 with the conferences that we're both in, Like, I do 245 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,960 think that there's going to be far more parody across 246 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,039 the two teams, and then it's always going to be 247 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,360 a close game, like unless unless one team has just 248 00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:52,360 a quarterback that is far better than the other. Right, Like, 249 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:59,200 I do think that a team's success heavily, heavily uh 250 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,919 rests on how great that that kid is under center. Right, 251 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,840 And if one of the years, you know, one of 252 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,200 our schools happens to nab a uh you know, a 253 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,360 single caller, you know, first round draft pick type, you know, 254 00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,759 franchise type quarterback, then the knack could sway things a 255 00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:19,080 little bit. But I think for the most part, man, 256 00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:21,559 it's going to be a back and forth NonStop, and 257 00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:25,200 I do think there's going to be an exchange of 258 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,759 of of you know, personnel as well. Give him the 259 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,840 transfer portal because a lot of these kids want to 260 00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,600 stay home, close to home in the area. Okay, where's it, 261 00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:36,080 where's the next best spot? All right, what's up north 262 00:14:36,159 --> 00:14:36,960 or it's down south? 263 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,679 Speaker 3: Right, It's funny you bring up Canton town of Asa. 264 00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,480 Coming from from Utah. 265 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 4: To b Yu. 266 00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: He actually served his mission in Provo and uh Canton 267 00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:51,840 Town of USA taught Kalani's son, who I think was 268 00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:54,000 like nine at the time and had not been baptized 269 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,000 or something like that, as we ended up baptizing Sun. 270 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,440 So there's there's a lot of cross pollination. 271 00:14:58,639 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: A god. 272 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: John Henry Daily, then nephew of David Nixon, was playing 273 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200 at b YU, transfers to Utah. Now he's their best 274 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,240 defensive lineman. So there's there's a lot there's a lot 275 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:10,720 of cross pollination there. 276 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:14,639 Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, and I think that's going to continue to happen. 277 00:15:14,799 --> 00:15:17,200 Like especially a lot of these kids that are that 278 00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,399 are home growing here in the state, right, they don't 279 00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:20,799 want to go out of state. I want to stay 280 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:24,759 in state. Uh and uh. And they're either going to 281 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:27,159 go to Utah, They're going to go to b a U. Right, 282 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:29,440 they're unhappy at BYU, they're going to go up to 283 00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:30,480 Utah and vice versa. 284 00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:34,679 Speaker 3: So let's discuss this Bay football team. I imagine you've 285 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,039 been watching this team. You're you've trained some of these 286 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,960 wide receivers over the years. What do you like about 287 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960 how the team is playing right now? Who stands out 288 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,080 to you from a personnel standpoint that you can highlight 289 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,519 for us. 290 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think, you know, I I've I've 291 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:55,639 always been optimistic about about Parker Kingston's ceiling and what 292 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,799 he's been able to deliver. I think now that he's 293 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,320 uh you know, uh uh uh an upperclassman who's had 294 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,080 a couple of years under his belt, I think his 295 00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:09,080 confidence is really high. And I think I think Air 296 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,559 Roderick and FESSI have done a great job of working 297 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:14,440 him into the system right, making sure he's getting his touches, 298 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,039 because I do think he's a very dynamic player. And 299 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,799 then you know, Chase obviously continues to prove he's mister consistent, 300 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,399 mister reliability. And you know, I think LJ is running 301 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:28,120 a lot better. I'd still like to see him be 302 00:16:28,159 --> 00:16:32,720 a little bit more aggressive, and I honestly, I think 303 00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:36,279 I think the addition that Carson Ryan too is huge, right, Like, Yeah, 304 00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:38,840 I know he doesn't get a ton of touches, but 305 00:16:39,799 --> 00:16:42,720 he's he's good enough for defenses to have that, you know, 306 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,799 account for him right in their scheme, right and at 307 00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:51,240 any point he could go off if needed. So I 308 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,200 do like our offensive weapons. I think Bear has done 309 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,480 an absolutely fantastic job thus far of taking care of 310 00:16:57,519 --> 00:16:59,519 the football, taking care of the football and not trying 311 00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,639 to play to outside of him himself, not trying to 312 00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:07,920 do too much. Been super impressed with just his maturity, 313 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,160 his poise, his confidence. It just just the way he's 314 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,119 been able to man as a football game. To be 315 00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:16,359 quite honest, I mean, like to be able to do 316 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,359 as a true freshman is pretty remarkable. 317 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, you played, You played with what a sophomore John Beck, 318 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,680 you know, young quarterback that had seen playing time as 319 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,400 a as a freshman coming off a mission, and you know, 320 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:31,279 John went through a refining fire. I don't know if 321 00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:35,960 he's supporting Cash collectively defensively, offensive line. There's a lot 322 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,079 of youth, a lot of talent there, but you know, 323 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,119 it's it's pretty remarkable what Bear has accomplished thus far. 324 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,000 Pretty stoic in nature. And I think his ability to 325 00:17:47,079 --> 00:17:49,920 run the ball. I know that's not the words maybe 326 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,920 a wide receiver once here is that your quarterback is 327 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,039 gonna run the ball twenty two times. But his ability 328 00:17:54,079 --> 00:17:57,039 to run the ball has definitely opened up some things. 329 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, absolutely, When you get a guy like 330 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,720 that that's a threat on the ground, man, that's that's 331 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,599 definitely going to open up a lot to the offense. 332 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,200 And frankly, something that that be, Yeah, that b what 333 00:18:10,319 --> 00:18:12,480 he hasn't had in a couple of years, and I 334 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,480 think I think as kind of relies on that. Right. 335 00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:17,839 Being able to have an athlete back there like a 336 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,039 Jared Hall or like a Taste or whoever, right is 337 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,400 going to add another dynamic. And and you know, the 338 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,279 chuck plays that a Rod does have up this sleever 339 00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:33,440 are are going to be far more successful just because 340 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,160 of the threat that he poses under center and being 341 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,440 able to create with his feet. 342 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 3: If you had the you know, the opportunity to speak 343 00:18:41,759 --> 00:18:43,799 to this team prior to the Holy War, even like 344 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,279 leading up to this game like this week, what what 345 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,920 message would you give to this team as they prep 346 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,519 for this, uh this Riler game? Some of them played 347 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:54,400 in it, some of them haven't played in it. Obviously 348 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,279 Bear hasn't played in this game yet. What's the words 349 00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:01,000 of advice from the wise and judicious BELLI. 350 00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 4: If you lose, you're all done to me? Uh No, 351 00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:11,720 I I to be honest with you, I I would 352 00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,480 just say just keep playing. You're you know the same, 353 00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:17,599 the same football man like the great thing about this 354 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,640 team just they know their identity, they know who they are. 355 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:24,960 You know, everyone, just keep playing the way that you've 356 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,119 been playing. Don't don't try and do anything different, you know, 357 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,519 as fans. As fans, we you know, I'd love to 358 00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:34,519 see you get hyped. I love just treated differently. But 359 00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:36,920 you know, as a coach, you don't want your players 360 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,599 thinking too much about what the game means and what 361 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,960 the game means to the fans and feeling any type 362 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,079 of way or any type of pressure. Right. You just 363 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,240 want them going in and treating them like any other game. 364 00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:52,920 So yeah, to me, I just say, just just keep 365 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,240 keep plugging away and uh, you know, don't treat this 366 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,319 anything like any different the other games that you've been 367 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,359 playing in, Right. I think when you tried to try 368 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,039 to do too much, that's when proms start to happen. 369 00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 3: Last thing for you, ac before we let you go. 370 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480 Actually a couple last things here. I think the statute 371 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,720 of limitations is up. I get you know, as I 372 00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:21,079 debate with fans and conversion fans, they bring up rivalry games, 373 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,920 they'll talk about specific so you know BA fans they are, 374 00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:28,119 they are very much They get into the the you know, 375 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,640 granular minutia of what happening games and what happened in 376 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,920 robberie games in two thousand and eight. 377 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 2: What they bring up to me is like. 378 00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:37,279 Speaker 3: Robert and I went away from the run game and 379 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,119 was throwing the. 380 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 2: Ball too much.

We were 385 00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:55,480 getting eight yards of pop with Harvey Unga. We went 386 00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:57,119 away from the run and that's why we lost.

So I called all 544 00:28:32,079 --> 00:28:34,799 my little sixth grade buddies and had our parents drop 545 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,240 us off at the stadium. 546 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:37,319 Speaker 5: We ended up sneaking down. 547 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 6: We were on the front row as lacke Hane Louly 548 00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:43,119 ran a maybe like a sixty yard touchdown and we 549 00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:44,079 ended up all on the. 550 00:28:44,119 --> 00:28:47,759 Speaker 5: Camera standing up in the crowd. So great memory as 551 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:48,039 a kid. 552 00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:50,079 Speaker 6: I mean, I think every time I played a game 553 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,519 it was BYU versus Utah and everything. 554 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,079 Speaker 5: And so fast forward from there to being at BYU 555 00:28:57,519 --> 00:28:58,240 in ninety eight. 556 00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:01,319 Speaker 6: And you know that Lavelle Edwards at that time was 557 00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:04,160 a roll around of the golf cart coach. You know, 558 00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:07,039 he had his coordinators that that did everything for him, 559 00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:09,720 and so he'd make his appearances in practice and roll 560 00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:12,519 around will come to the game of the Utah game 561 00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:15,200 that week, he had us all huddle up around him. 562 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,880 We had a big red tackling Demi and and this 563 00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,480 is the year before he retired. He threw that thing 564 00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:23,839 on the ground and started kicking it to get us 565 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,519 all hyped up. 566 00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:27,079 Speaker 5: It was. It was probably one of the greatest things 567 00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:28,319 they ever seeing coach Edwards do. 568 00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 6: And and then that year we went on on to 569 00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:35,119 we played it at in Salt Lake City at Rice 570 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,519 Cycles and we ended up. Let's see, they had the 571 00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:40,960 best kicker in the nation, one of the top kickers 572 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,400 in the nation, and we brought him down to the 573 00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:44,119 very end of the game where he had a chance 574 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,119 for I think it was like a thirty eight yard 575 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200 field goal, just a gimme field goal, and he hit 576 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,640 the goalpost and. 577 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 5: Everyone stormed around the field. 578 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 6: And then as much as you know Derek, Derek Stevens 579 00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:59,000 in our middle linebacker, his dad was in the in 580 00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:01,599 the stands on the fo row and a Utah fan 581 00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:04,240 was getting in a fight with him, and Derek jumped 582 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,400 into the stands to join the fight as Derek's dad 583 00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:11,200 laid out the the Utah fan and gave up bloody knows. 584 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,119 And yes, great memories. It's such a great rivalry. And 585 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,640 I feel like I'm really excited that we're going to 586 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,200 have the big the group out there on Saturday morning 587 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,039 to to really really highlight what this rivalry is. 588 00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 2: Great stories. 589 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,559 Speaker 3: I mean, look, everybody I think has a story or 590 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,440 two about this rivalry game as a fan, as a 591 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:44,079 as a media member, as a football player, and so 592 00:30:44,279 --> 00:30:47,279 because of all those anecdotes, because of all those unique experiences, 593 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,599 you know, we we love this rivalry game. And and 594 00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:55,920 what's crazy is how competitive it has been over the years, right, 595 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,720 It really has been extremely competitive. It's a little bit 596 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,839 lopsided in the modern I think Kyle Whitning gaps twelve 597 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,559 and two all time against the Cougar Sins taking over 598 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,200 in two thousand and five, but he's on a two 599 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,279 game losing streak right now. 600 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 2: It's on a two game yeah, right now. 601 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 6: You know, last year, as we start to renew the 602 00:31:16,319 --> 00:31:17,920 rivalry and you get a lot of guys like I 603 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,240 had Kiwan come come over to the shop last year, 604 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,880 and I just started feeding these guys what this rivalry 605 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,079 really is, to try to get them to understand how 606 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:28,720 big it is. 607 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 5: And I'll tell you what. You know, if you talked 608 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,440 to Qlan today about. 609 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,119 Speaker 6: It, you know that one of the biggest rivalry games 610 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,559 ever played in you know, and that's the same with 611 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,680 Trey Alexander and I mean, these guys are just dancing 612 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,279 around the inZone last year after the game, but really 613 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,279 felt the energy of the rivalry and it's going to 614 00:31:48,359 --> 00:31:49,599 be super excited. 615 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 5: It's great to have two ranked teams. I wanted us 616 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,279 to be undefeated. 617 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,319 Speaker 6: And I wanted Utah to be undefeated to make it 618 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,279 even a bigger game. 619 00:31:57,119 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 5: But I'm excited for the game. 620 00:31:58,559 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 6: I think that we got to minimize some of the 621 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,880 mistakes that we made against Arizona. We got to really 622 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,759 lock things down a little bit. And I think we'll 623 00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:09,799 have some of our some of our go to guys 624 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,000 back with Jack Kelly. And you know, I haven't heard 625 00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:15,519 on Raider de Mouney. I'm hoping Raiders back. When he 626 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,799 took that hard hit to the ribs, you know that 627 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:18,720 that looked painful. 628 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I got to correct myself. I was doing 629 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:21,960 my math. Grigley. 630 00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:26,799 Speaker 3: Kyle Whittingham's eleven and five all time against the BAYU 631 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,039 Cougars since two thousand and five as the head coach. 632 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 5: But do you think he came back to beat b Whitey. 633 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 2: I do I think his legacy? My theory is this, 634 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,440 My my thesis is this. 635 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 3: I guess I should pose the question first, is Kyle 636 00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:50,599 Whittingham's legacy as the greatest coach in Utah football history, 637 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,680 based more so off of his dominance versus b Yu 638 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:04,880 Okay or his double digit win seasons and shared conference 639 00:33:05,079 --> 00:33:10,119 championships in the Pac twelve and really never truly getting 640 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,880 over the hump into that elite status, right, Like you 641 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,880 know which one is it? More so based off of 642 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,279 and I tend to lean more towards the rivalry game 643 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,160 than what he's done outside of the rivalry game. 644 00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: Your thoughts, I. 645 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 6: Think it depends on who you ask, right and and 646 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,880 after Saturday, I think some people's opinions might change. 647 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,279 Speaker 5: You know. I think Utah fans going into this game, 648 00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:38,960 it's a it's. 649 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,039 Speaker 6: A huge one for his legacy, you know, whether or 650 00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:45,680 not it ends up being that, you know, I don't 651 00:33:46,119 --> 00:33:46,920 necessarily think so. 652 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 5: I think he has been a great coach. He's been 653 00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:50,640 great for the state of Utah. 654 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 6: He's a players coach just like Colonias, and I know 655 00:33:54,839 --> 00:33:58,680 that his players love to play for him. He's done 656 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,480 a lot for the Innsity And you know, let's be real, 657 00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:04,039 he's a he's a BYU alumni. 658 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,079 Speaker 3: Hey, you know, the greatness comes from the fount of 659 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,400 b Yu right, the provo it does the Provo pipeline. 660 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,840 If you will look at all the coaches in the 661 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:21,199 NFL in college football, you know they came out of BYU. 662 00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:23,519 Speaker 2: It was a good one. There's a great pipeline coming 663 00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:24,679 out of Provo right now. 664 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,559 Speaker 6: There is well And for me, you know, I look 665 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:32,559 at this game. You know, I never wanted Utah to 666 00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:35,280 win it. And then all of a sudden, my teammates 667 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,679 were coaching at Utah. You know, I had I had 668 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,760 Klate and a Rod and and then Jay Hill from 669 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,800 Rix was coaching there. So everything kind of changed at 670 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,320 one point where it's like, you know, I wanted Utah 671 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,519 to win their games, except I wanted them to always 672 00:34:49,519 --> 00:34:51,159 to lose to BYU every year. 673 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,199 Speaker 2: Totally get it. So how do you see this game 674 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:56,800 playing out? 675 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 3: You know, they're from an objective metrics standpoint, what they've 676 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,360 been able to produce on the football field thus far. 677 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 2: They mirror each other to a degree. I mean they 678 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,199 really do. 679 00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 3: Sure, they mirror each other, and they're more alike than 680 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,880 they are dissimilar. And they Utah is a slight favorite 681 00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:17,360 heading into Lavelle Edwards Stadium. 682 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,599 Speaker 2: So I like that, What do you what do you 683 00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:20,000 make of this? 684 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 5: Well, I mean I liked that that that that. 685 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 6: We're the underdog at home with a with a better 686 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,239 ranking and a better record, because that's going to drive 687 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,159 some fuel into the players and the coaches, uh you 688 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,360 know there. I feel like I watched you know, a 689 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,239 number of plays of the Utah game this past week 690 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,280 against Arizona State, and you know, I feel like they 691 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,119 were they were kind of one dimensional, you know, and 692 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,639 in their attack. Now now they didn't have to do 693 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,719 much more because they were pretty much rolling over Arizona State. 694 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,559 But they are real similar, real similar. And that We've 695 00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:58,400 got quarterbacks that can run the ball. We've got two 696 00:35:58,519 --> 00:36:02,599 offensive lines that are amazing, you know, super strong, able 697 00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:04,639 to move the pile. And I think that in the end, 698 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,519 the team that wins this game, it's going to be 699 00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:11,480 down to that that the offensive and defensive lines and 700 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,119 who is able to control that line, and and that's 701 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,239 really going to determine it. 702 00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 5: I do think special team is going to play a 703 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:18,960 big role this week. 704 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 6: These rivalry games bring out, in my opinion, these special 705 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,119 teams extraordinaries. You know, with Keeland last year on the 706 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:31,360 kick return man, Parker's just just feels like he's just 707 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,119 close to breaking the punt. You know, so I think 708 00:36:34,159 --> 00:36:35,599 this special team is going to play a big role 709 00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:40,440 this week. But man, I'm just excited this is that 710 00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:42,719 that week. It's probably the only week that I post 711 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:47,079 on my Instagram stories every day about the rivalry.

What was your reaction 744 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:25,199 when you saw James Franklin being fired from Penn State after, 745 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,559 you know, being a top ten coach in college football 746 00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:31,159 over the last decade. I mean like he was in 747 00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:33,599 the colle football Playoff in the semi finals last year 748 00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:36,719 and all of a sudden he's five hundred through what 749 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,840 six games or so, and the donor base, the fan base, 750 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000 the athletic department is kicking him to the curb and 751 00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:48,960 paying him almost fifty million. While doing it, they are 752 00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:55,800 hoping that somehow the Who's the most beautiful woman right now? 753 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,159 Speaker 2: In the in the world is it. 754 00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:03,639 Speaker 3: They're they're dumping their wife of ten years, twelve years, 755 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,760 hoping that somehow, some way, what like Sydney Sweeney's gonna 756 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,280 answer their call, answer their text, answer their DNA. 757 00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 2: Jlo's still up there. But you know, jo Man, Hey, hey, 758 00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:21,119 Jalo's getting old. He's just a number, like they are hoping, like, Hey, 759 00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:22,039 I hope they answer. 760 00:39:22,199 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 3: I hope Sidney Swiney answers my call, you know, hopefully 761 00:39:25,679 --> 00:39:26,599 fingers crossed. 762 00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:29,599 Speaker 2: Sorry, we got a lot to offer here at Penn State. 763 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,400 We have a lot to offer. Yeah, they messed up. 764 00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 6: So my feeling initially when I heard it, I was 765 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,519 kind of embarrassed for the altogether, for the athletic department. 766 00:39:40,639 --> 00:39:44,599 I felt like, uh, I'm not a Penn State fan, 767 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,079 but I felt let down that they could let. 768 00:39:48,519 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 5: Basically the expectations are excellent or you're out. That's it. 769 00:39:52,679 --> 00:39:52,960 That's it. 770 00:39:53,079 --> 00:39:56,039 Speaker 6: You can't have a bad season according to the Penn 771 00:39:56,119 --> 00:39:56,960 State administration. 772 00:39:57,199 --> 00:40:00,760 Speaker 5: And yeah, that's kind of the feeling that I had. 773 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,760 I was just embarrassed by how they handled that. 774 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 6: Uh, you you you're not going to have an exceptional 775 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,440 season every single year. Uh, there's so many factors that 776 00:40:12,559 --> 00:40:15,039 play into that, so and and and in the end, 777 00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:18,039 let's say they go and get the higher that they want, right, 778 00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:22,239 or they get the the dream candidate that they they 779 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,039 always thought they wanted and the guy comes in and 780 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,599 and and half the half the players transfer out right 781 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,840 and he starts over and has a bad season next year? 782 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,480 Are you going to fire him now or are you 783 00:40:31,519 --> 00:40:33,280 going to give him a chance to have a bad season? 784 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,199 You know, so they've set up precedence that is, it's 785 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,679 it's going to be hard to hold every single guy 786 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,880 to that same standard, or you're going to be driving 787 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,960 through coaches year after year and uh it, and and 788 00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:52,320 the grass isn't always greener. I think that you absolutely 789 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,960 should have given him through the end of this year 790 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,039 to see if he could turn that thing around. 791 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,039 Speaker 5: And and let's look at some of the teams they play, 792 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,440 like U C. L A's coming come that to be 793 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,760 a pretty darn good team now, right. I don't know. 794 00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:07,320 I don't think that it was the right move. I 795 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:07,719 think that. 796 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,119 Speaker 6: The administration is allowing the donors to do and have 797 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,559 too much of a say in the program itself. 798 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,760 Speaker 5: And to say that I hope it backfires. 799 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 6: I don't because I don't hope that for the players, 800 00:41:22,079 --> 00:41:24,800 but sometimes I hope it for the administration because. 801 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 5: I don't think that they're looking at it with the 802 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:28,679 in the right perspective. 803 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,159 Speaker 3: What it shows me, it's kind of the disconnect. Even 804 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,760 like if I take a study, an individual study the 805 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,039 PAC twelve for instance, and what led the PAC twelve 806 00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:42,280 to die a slow and painful death. The administrators, the 807 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:47,000 decision makers were so disconnected from the reality of the 808 00:41:47,159 --> 00:41:50,480 college football situation, the game of the game, right, they 809 00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:53,440 had no idea what was changing, They had no idea 810 00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:58,519 what was going on. And do that humorous their pompous nature. 811 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:05,599 They're in titlement. They fell prey to the pride cycle, 812 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:11,039 right and overvaluating themselves, overvalued themselves, etc. Like what's been 813 00:42:11,079 --> 00:42:13,599 happening over the last five years with the transfer portal 814 00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:20,679 and with the free market, capitalistic college football landscape that 815 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,840 we're living in now, is that you're becoming more like 816 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:31,960 an NFL league, which means the Kansas City Chiefs can 817 00:42:32,119 --> 00:42:34,719 beat a team that I mean, what have they got 818 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,159 to five hundred now? Kansas City right now at five hundred, yeah, right, 819 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,239 Like you could be a five hundred team and still 820 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,320 make it into the playoffs because you're the best team 821 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,960 at the end of the year. But you're a three, 822 00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:46,239 four to five loss team, but you're the best team 823 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,119 in the playoffs, right because it's about trending in the 824 00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:52,880 right doors. At the end of the year, you're gonna 825 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,199 see more parody. You're gonna see two and three loss 826 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,119 teams eventually getting into the college football playoff. 827 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 2: That's what you're gonna see. And there's way more parody. 828 00:43:02,199 --> 00:43:06,559 Speaker 3: There's a reason why Nick Saban's out of the business now. 829 00:43:07,039 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 2: He saw the writing on the wall. He knew he 830 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,440 could not happen unhopoly anymore. He knew it well. 831 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 6: And the amount of money that's coming in from outside 832 00:43:16,519 --> 00:43:20,519 sources that might not have been affiliated with athletics prior 833 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,519 to NIL and prior to these opportunities to make money 834 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,320 within the NCAA football industry. 835 00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 5: There's now there's so many more hands involved in each team. 836 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,440 Speaker 6: There's so much more money, millions and millions of dollars 837 00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:40,400 that's coming in with expectations placed on that, Like, these 838 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,159 guys aren't putting that money in without expectations, and so 839 00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,840 I think there's just too much going on around some 840 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,639 of these teams where there's too many, too many hands donating, 841 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,639 too many hands that are saying, my money's here, and 842 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:56,679 I expect this out of my money. 843 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,519 Speaker 5: And if I'm not getting this return or I'm not 844 00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:02,280 getting X, Y and z, if something has to change, 845 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,920 and then the pressure that they put on the administration's got. 846 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 2: To be a mess. 847 00:44:05,599 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, the incompetence is seeing new levels in my opinion, 848 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,840 in this modern era from a leadership standpoint, you're seeing 849 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,159 it everywhere.
