great show for you. Still celebrating the contract extension of

51
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:38,719
Kalani stake. We don't know the details of it, but

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,439
I'll give you my prognostication as to what it looks

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,800
like from a dollar amount as well as a tenure

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,400
amount and what I foresee happening in the future at BYU.

55
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:52,520
The good thing is about this situation and the time

56
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:59,159
of this contract extension for Kilani, it means that I'm

57
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,240
pretty sure like that most of the Cougar coaching staff

58
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:08,039
is going to be with you until through next season,

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,120
and that includes you know, a Rod and Jay Hill

60
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,759
and Kelly Pepinga. Your your your coordinators, and that's what

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,319
you want. You don't want to have any attrition when

62
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:19,000
you got a good thing going, You have stability, you

63
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,120
have momentum with a.

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 3: Top twenty class.

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,879
Speaker 2: You want to keep that moving, you want to keep

66
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:26,800
that momentum train moving in that direction.

67
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:30,319
Speaker 3: And so that's the good news here.

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't think there's gonna be any attrition in that front.

69
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,039
You're going to retain the coaches and you're gonna retain

70
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,479
I think most of your players, especially coming off of

71
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:42,800
back to back double digit win seasons, with an opportunity

72
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,560
to win a Big twelve championship in Arlington at Jerry World,

73
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,159
and in an opportunity also to go to a college

74
00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:53,120
fotball playoff, I mean, how glorious would that be. Let's say,

75
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:56,479
by some miracle, some way, somehow, b YU is able

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,680
to knock off the number four team in the country,

77
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:02,319
the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Arlington, which maybe it's

78
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,280
not all that far fetched to think that they could well,

79
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,840
I because it's very difficult to beat teams twice in

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,960
one year, Okay, And I trust Kilane, I trust his

81
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,680
staff to be well prepared heading into that stadium where

82
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,639
the last time they played at that stadium they beat

83
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:27,000
the Oklahoma Sooners, Okay ranked team led by Sam Bradford, the.

84
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,199
Speaker 3: Heisman Trophy winner of a year before.

85
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: Kolbe Clausen knocked him out of that game, and BYU

86
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:34,240
was able to get a victory. They were actually shorthanded.

87
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,079
Harvey Unger was not actually playing in that game. Their

88
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,199
lead running back the time one of my the all time.

89
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,319
Speaker 3: BYU greatest backs.

90
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:42,519
Speaker 2: He was a little bit dinged up that game, but

91
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Max All, Dennis Pitta and that offensive grew. M. K.

92
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:46,519
Speaker 3: Jacobs said, they led the way.

93
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:48,959
Speaker 2: Brian Korea had a great game too, b Y, you

94
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,879
got to win the last time they were in that.

95
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: Statement, maybe they'll do it again.

96
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,399
Speaker 2: If you do it, you're gonna get a home game

97
00:04:54,959 --> 00:05:00,360
at Lavelle Edwards Stadium in in November in the college

98
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:01,199
football playoff.

99
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: We are knocking on the door. We are sitting pretty.

100
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: We are the masters of our own destiny and you

101

136
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,839
I think Klanie's energy of asking, you know, for more

137
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,000
in market value.

138
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,720

00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,480

201
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:44,960
of Bring Him Yesterday, Callantis stock has been extended for

202
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:45,519
how long?

203
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 3: For how much money?

204
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,159
Speaker 2: The initial report coming out from On three Sports, p Nacos,

205
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:52,879
Brett McMurphy, et cetera, and all those business insiders as

206
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:55,559
a relations of collegiate athletics nine to nine point five

207
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,000
million per year. And I've been hearing it's a ten

208
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,759
year deal. Okay, ten year deal, and I wouldn't be surprised. Okay,

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,799
I would not be surprised if he also has with

210
00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:13,320
his associate athletic director title currently that there is a

211
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,320
path what I call this sweetheart deal. You are the

212
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,840
sweetheart of BYU. You are the Polonies and Lavell Edwards.

213
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,159
What that allows you to do when you know, let's

214
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,799
say that ten years down the road, right, Killani has

215
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:33,600
done great things brought BYU into this elite national promidence.

216
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,279
Maybe BOI has gone to a couple of college football playoffs,

217
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,679
maybe they've been competitive, maybe they've won some big time games.

218
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Maybe they're a national champion once again. Because BYU has

219
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,480
allocated also ten to fifteen million in NIL support as

220
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,679
well as additional rev share opportunity. So that is that's

221
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,399
approximately if it's twenty point five million dollars that they're

222
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,480
going to be distributing, okay to BYU football players and

223
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,679
at all of the athletes at BAU twenty point five

224
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,360
million that's the cap. Then seventy percent of that is

225
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:12,519
probably going to football, sixty to seventy percent. So you're

226
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:15,440
looking at ten to fifteen already in NIL, and then

227
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,080
an additional maybe fifteen million coming into the coffers for

228
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:27,480
acquisitions and retention of talent, your workforce, your lifeblood of

229
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,480
your program. You could see twenty five to thirty million

230
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,240
dollars of NIL. Just to give you a little bit

231
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:37,600
of a perspective here, Texas Tech, it has been reported

232
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,840
we had Trevor Matich hop on the show and give

233
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:43,240
us this number. Texas Tech this year in order to

234
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,840
become a top four team in the country, maybe a

235
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:50,240
national champion this year, spent twenty eight million dollars in

236
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,039
NIL dollars name image likeness dollars. So twenty eight million

237
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,080
gets you some pretty gosh day and good football players,

238
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:00,120
especially if they buy into the culture. So that it's

239
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,320
with Joey Maguire and his staff have been able to do.

240
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,679
They acquire great guys, great football players, great talent, and

241
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,480
then they got to buy into the culture. And I

242
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,080
think Kilani will do a good job of that as

243
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,200
well as he has more fun. So that's kind of

244
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,159
the deal here. That's what I've been told, that's what's

245
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,799
been given to me. Let's get in to some of

246
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:22,000
these these soundbites from Brian Santiago and Kalanie Satake. By

247
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,639
the way, We're at Sky Chevrolet in Provo twenty one,

248
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:28,879
twenty five North University Parkway. We're raising funds, We're raising food,

249
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,320
We're raising clothing and hygiene products for the road home.

250
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,840
Is the season to be giving and the Rocky Mountain

251
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:38,440
Chevy Dealers are more than a group of automobile dealerships.

252
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,399
They are part of Utah and it's important to Chevy

253
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:43,600
to support the ongoing needs of the community.

254
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: They're at the road home. Let's get into it though.

255
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: Brian Santiago, athletic director of Brigham Young University, and Kalanie

256
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,240
Sataki also an official statement from Shane Reees via Keith Forkink,

257
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:55,240
your VP of Advancement.

258
00:12:55,919 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 7: This is a great day. This is a great day

259
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,840
for BYU and BYU foot. My name is Brian Santiago

260
00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:07,559
and the Director of Athletics, and super grateful to be

261
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:10,600
here with all of you. We're grateful that you'd take

262
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:17,240
the time to be here and to cover this. We're

263
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:22,120
going to start today. Keith Voorkink, the Advancement Vice President,

264
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:23,879
is going to read a statement from the President of

265
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:24,720
our university.

266
00:13:25,159 --> 00:13:26,159
Speaker 8: See Shane Reese.

267
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,399
Speaker 1: Keith, thank you, Brian.

268
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,159
Speaker 6: I'm also super happy to be here. It's a great

269
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:38,080
day for bringing on university. President Reese is traveling invited

270
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,799
me to read this statement. In many ways, Klonie Sataki

271
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:44,799
is a public face.

272
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: Of bringing me on university.

273
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 6: He leads our most prominent athletic team, and you couldn't

274
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,360
ask for a better examplar of the christ centered values

275
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,480
for which this university stands. In saying that, I also

276
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:02,600
communicate the great trust and confidence of BYU's Board of

277
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,759
Trustees that they have in Kolonie Sataki's unwavering commitment to

278
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:10,600
BYU's mission, which helps to build student athletes who learn

279
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,080
by studying and by faith. Someone recently said that BYU

280
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,399
wants to win, but Boa wants to win as a family.

281
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,519
Kilani is family and we couldn't be more pleased that

282
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,879
he'll be staying at BYU for all the right reasons

283
00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:28,440
and leading our football program into the Big Twelve Championship

284
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:33,200
this week. And I'll just second President's words, were so

285
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,799
excited for all that Kilani represents and for the future

286
00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:38,320
of him leading our football program.

287
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 8: Thanks.

288
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:44,039
Speaker 2: Thanks, okay, So as we'll say about President Shane Raese

289
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,679
as well as Keith Varkink, and then we'll hear from

290
00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:51,679
Brian Santiago. BYU would not be in the situation athletically

291
00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:56,519
from an athletic department standpoint, with alignment, alignment of the

292
00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:01,600
silos as I call them, between the academic mission of

293
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,960
Brigham Young University, the moral, ethical, spiritual mission. I combine

294
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,480
all those with your honor code, which to some may

295
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:14,559
may seem archaic, but it's all a part of what BYU's.

296
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,679
Speaker 3: Mission is about.

297
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,639
Speaker 2: And then the athletic mission of BA athletics, and it

298
00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:21,879
all stems from kind of going up if you go

299
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,919
up the food chain here, what's the mission of the

300
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,399
Church of Jesus christal attery Saints. What's the mission of

301
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:31,080
Brigham Young University as an academic, spiritual and even an

302
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,879
athletic institution?

303
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:33,519
Speaker 3: Right?

304
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:36,799
Speaker 2: Because I do think God gives the children of men talents,

305
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,919
and those talents are in music, they're in academics, they're

306
00:15:40,919 --> 00:15:43,320
in science, they're in engineering, they're in athletics.

307
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: Wherever it comes. You want to highlight.

308
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: You don't want to bury any of those talents, and

309
00:15:46,519 --> 00:15:49,960
you want to bring those before your fellow man and

310
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,039
have joy and or joicing in that right. You have

311
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,039
to create alignment of the silence, because there is enmity naturally.

312
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,759
I've said for time, for from time and all eternity. Man,

313
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:03,480
there has been enmity between the jocks and the nerds.

314
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,159
Speaker 3: I remember I was dating a young lady. She went

315
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:06,720
on a mission.

316
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: She came back and I remember chatting with her actually

317
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:13,159
returned from the mission, and she was very heavy into dancing.

318
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,039
I'm just giving you a quick anecdote here, and I said, hey,

319
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:18,000
you're going to get back into dancing. She said, no,

320
00:16:18,279 --> 00:16:20,519
I will not get back into dancing because it doesn't

321
00:16:20,519 --> 00:16:21,639
build up the kingdom.

322
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,159
Speaker 3: I was like, WHOA, that's crazy, that's insane. I'm like, like, like,

323
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:30,080
all talents are are are are fantastic in the eyes

324
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,720
of God in my opinion. So what I'm getting at.

325
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,399
Speaker 2: Here is I do think that there is sometimes a

326
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:38,240
struggle within even the bau Fan based sometimes the academic

327
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:41,840
side of things, the kind of the spiritual, very self

328
00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:44,480
righteous people that are all about kind of the obedience

329
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:47,759
to you know, the the building up of the kingdom, right,

330
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:50,759
and they look at athletics as kind of this this distraction,

331
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:54,679
this idle worship type of deal. If it's all for

332
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:57,440
the good of you know, the fellow, and it's not

333
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,279
just about winning, and you're going out and serving in

334
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,839
conjunction with you know, your your athletics teams, your alumni chapters.

335
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,160
You you raise twenty seven thousand pounds of food for

336
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:13,319
the Cincinnati student body, you know, food pantry. You're raising

337
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,200
hundreds of thousands of dollars for the barber's wife who's

338
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,880
in the ICU, for Texas Tech.

339
00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 3: All of that.

340
00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 2: You're going about doing good while the Cougar football team

341
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,000
at basketball teams are also going out and competing at

342
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,119
a high level and humanizing and and and and I

343
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,960
think normalizing the churches of christo latter States and bring

344
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:32,799
them the Young University.

345
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:33,079
Speaker 1: Okay.

346
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: Amidst all that, with the f the Mormon chance, and

347
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,400
you're hopefully trying to dissipate that and trying to squelch

348
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:41,480
that and placate that and try to you know.

349
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,759
Speaker 3: Build bridges in the world.

350
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,279
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying is, I know it's along with

351
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:51,519
Shane Reaches, Keith vour Kink and Elder Gilbert are creating

352
00:17:51,599 --> 00:17:57,400
alignment so that the silos are not competing with each other, okay,

353
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,599
because they are whole minded to a list of humans,

354
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,960
care about all facets, all talents, and to go about

355
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,680
doing good across the sciences, the academic the medical world.

356
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,759
Look at BAUS building a medical facility, you know, I

357
00:18:10,759 --> 00:18:13,480
mean like they're building a medical.

358
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:15,599
Speaker 3: School.

359
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,279
Speaker 2: I mean, like all of it matters, and you want

360
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:19,559
to be great and you want to be a laite

361
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:21,759
at all things. So what I'm saying is this would

362
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:24,200
not come about unless you have holistic, whole minded people

363
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,279
that also value athletics. And we've never I don't think

364
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,240
necessarily had the the individuals that were built to bring

365
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:36,680
in different types of people that have different value systems,

366
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,440
even within the Church of Jis Christ and latter Stins

367
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,559
and the BYU fan base, and keep them aligned. Does

368
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:45,079
that make sense? So anyways, that's what I want to say.

369
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,799
So Shane Rey's via Keith Orkink. You can sense that

370
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,519
in his tone, in his terminology and his verbiage. He

371
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,359
says that Byu, like the face of Byu, in many ways,

372
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:06,000
is Kilani Sataki. So we talked about ambassadorial toolstionary tools

373
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,839
of the church. Byu is one of those, and bio

374
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,279
athletics is one of those. And essentially I used to

375
00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:15,400
call Lovell Edwards the thirteenth Apostle right because he spoke

376
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,480
at devotionals, he spoke at general confidence.

377
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,079
Speaker 3: Confidence.

378
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: That is a path that I think Kolani is also

379
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,960
walking down as the Polynesian Lovell Edwards, and I think

380
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:27,559
they view that.

381
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 3: The board of trustees, that's the other thing.

382
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: The border of trustees have to be willing and capable

383
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,839
and bought into who Kilani is and how he's leading

384
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,839
and how he's leading athletics, and all of those individuals

385
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:42,359
are involved in that. Shane, Keith Elder, Gilbert, and Brian Santiago.

386
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,720
So now let's hear from Brian Santiago, athletic director of

387
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:45,839
brigham On University.

388
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:49,519
Speaker 7: As I mentioned, is a pretty exciting day and we're

389
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,599
really excited to announce the Kolani Satake is going to

390
00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:58,079
be BOE's football coach long into the future. We as

391
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,920
an athletic department in the university, are making a significant

392
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,000
investment to make sure that we have a football program

393
00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:11,839
that is set up and prepared to have success for

394
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,680
the future. One of the things that's been most impressive

395
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:22,559
in this process is what Klone really really is all about.

396
00:20:23,519 --> 00:20:26,599
This is a great football coach, but this is one

397
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,640
of the great people on planet Earth. He's committed to

398
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:34,440
everything that's good. He's committed to not only running a

399
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,400
first class football program. He's so committed to his staff,

400
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,799
everyone in the building. He cares about every single person

401
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,559
that is part of this program, and maybe most importantly,

402
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,200
he's all in for these players. There weren't very many

403
00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:54,880
times in this process that he was talking about himself,

404
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,000
talking about his own compensation. He was talking about, I

405
00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:00,720
want to take care of all the people around me,

406
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,279
and that's what tells you a lot about Colonie Satake.

407
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,880
The other part of this it's pretty awesome, is Kilanie

408
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,000
is in this with his family. Not only Timberly, his

409
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,680
amazing wife and his children, but his dad and Pops

410
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,279
is right back there. He's a big part of this

411
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,960
program too, And we're grateful to you, Pops, grateful to

412
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:25,720
you for your commitment not only this program, but for

413
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:30,640
raising such a great man in Kilanie. I just want

414
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,200
to I just want to add too, when you get

415
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,000
in the trenches of college athletics, you want to do

416
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:43,119
it every day with people that you love and that

417
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,039
you can actually have a great time with. And I'm

418
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,119
most excited about walking the path with Kilanie and continuing

419
00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:56,079
to see him build men that aren't only going to

420
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,599
do incredible things on the football field, but he's preparing

421
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,799
these young men to go and change the world. And

422
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:05,400
the culture that he's built here is second to none.

423
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,559
And we're not just investing in a football program. We're

424
00:22:09,559 --> 00:22:13,240
investing in Colonie Satake. I'm grateful to be here and

425
00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:15,880
sit next to him as the athletic director, but more

426
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,960
importantly as a friend and a confidant.

427
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:24,519
Speaker 2: Let's go, all right, So they have it, Brian Santiago

428
00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:31,440
giving the flowers to Killani, his family and everything that

429
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,359
he has already accomplished in what will accomplish. He's earned

430
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:41,079
this right, He's he's earned this deal is what idem

431
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,839
is a nine million dollar deal over ten years now

432
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,559
that has not been confirmed. The ten year mark. I'm

433
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,400
just saying I think it was a long term deal.

434
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:50,000
I don't think this was a five year deal. I

435
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:53,440
don't think this is just through twenty twenty nine, twenty thirty.

436
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,319
This is through this. This makes him the paulities are

437
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,799
level edwards. Okay, he's already been ten. He's gonna be

438
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,200
coaching for another ten and then he may right off

439
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,680
into the sunset as associate athletic director from you know

440
00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:13,640
that that twenty to twenty five year mark until he

441
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,400
retires at sixty five. That's how I view the path

442
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:20,759
and the trajectory of Kilani A.

443
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,319
Speaker 3: Brigham Young University.

444
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,839
Speaker 2: Okay, love that he went out of his way to

445
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,519
thank Tom Tamasi, who is the patriarch ride He's I

446
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,960
call him the patriarch uh Tom, the father of Kilani Stake.

447
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:37,920
I can tell you many stories about Tom h during

448
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,440
the Bronco mendenh Hall era, he just show up to

449
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,759
practice and you could just tell he wanted to be there.

450
00:23:43,759 --> 00:23:47,440
He wanted Kilani to be there, and I think Kilanie

451
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:51,880
manifested this. Kilanie. You hear him talk that M word

452
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,519
a lot, like he has he has dreams, He has visions, dude,

453
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,480
I tell you like things that he said to me

454
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:02,559
when we were playing at Eastern Arizona Junior College, and

455
00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:04,440
like he would just see things before they happen.

456
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: He would manifest things before they happened.

457
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: He was crazy. He's always been that way. He's a special,

458
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:11,680
singular human.

459
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 3: Uh.

460
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: And it's why Cougarnation has rallied around him when they

461
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,720
thought that Penn State was going to steal him from

462
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:23,200
us with their robust resources, unlimited funds, with everything that

463
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,839
they had going for him that eleven million plus okay nil,

464
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:34,119
unlimited staffing resources, unlimited anything you wanted, Kilani satake, you

465
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,519
got it. Will do anything to bring you to State College. Okay,

466
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,759
Kilani said, you know what, No, I'm gonna be here.

467
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,599
This is my dream job. And BYU's taking care of me.

468
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,480
He's taking they're taking care of the staff, and they're

469
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,279
taking care of the players. And that's the that's the

470
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:53,960
main thing too. He's always been about the staff. He's

471
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,640
always been about the players. I believe, even last year

472
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,839
with the contract extension, I don't think I think outside

473
00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:03,119
of the years, right, that's that's an additional two years

474
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,359
that was added to it. Through twenty twenty nine to thirty.

475
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,599
I think the only pay raises and only resources that

476
00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,920
were ultimately allocated were to the staff and to uh,

477
00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:18,279
you know, to support staff.

478
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: You know.

479
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,839
Speaker 3: That's that's where I think that in any additional funds.

480
00:25:21,519 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: That came through the the athletic department down to the

481
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,799
football program was to the support staff and the coaching staff.

482
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,240
Guys like Jay Hill got pay raises this go around.

483
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,680
I think they made sure to take care of Kolate

484
00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:39,279
after a special, remarkable season that could end very much

485
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,680
in the College Football Playoff.

486
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:43,839
Speaker 3: By the way, By the way.

487
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: It's a sold out game now in Arlington Jerry's world.

488
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,559
He sold out Texas Tech BYU It's the It's the

489
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:58,920
biggest Big twelve championship game ever. Ok, a fourth ranked

490
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,039
team versus an eleven ranked team, and you could get

491
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,039
possibly if BYU beat Texas Tech, you get two Big

492
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:08,759
twelve teams in the College Football Playoff. Joey maguire, we

493
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:11,720
won't hold it against you if you keep it closing

494
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:16,039
to let BYU win, because the committee is hoping, praying

495
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:22,000
fingers crossed that BYU Oka loses this game and they

496
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
can keep them out of the Playoff. They will not

497
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:28,039
even the COLLG Football Playoff Comittee ESPN, Fox, CBS.

498
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,599
Speaker 3: No one is even willing to put.

499
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 2: BYU's profile, their resume up against in a visual format

500
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,920
during these selection shows, during these College Football Playoff Committee

501
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:47,720
ranking shows up against Miami and Notre Dame and Oklahoma

502
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,359
and Alabama, they will not even put the school name

503
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,319
of the logo up there because they have already pushed

504
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,640
them out and they will be on the outside looking

505
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,680
at if they lose to Texas Tech and Artist, which

506
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,359
is sad. It just tells you a little bit about

507
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:12,960
the monopolistic, oligopolistic, the corrupt college football cubal that we

508
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,400
are seeing here that we are experiencing here. And I'll

509
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,640
tell you on the flip side where it stems from.

510
00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:23,559
I'll tell you exactly why they're doing this. I do

511
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,960
not believe it's because some sort of like religious bigotry

512
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:30,640
or BYU bias or Big twelve bias. I don't think

513
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,599
that that is the main thing here. There's a component

514
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,200
to maybe some of that for some individuals. Everyone has

515
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,599
their anecdotes. We're only as good as our anecdotes. So

516
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,519
there are people that have certain biases within the colleg

517
00:27:43,519 --> 00:27:46,880
Football Playoff Committe, where theyre subjective eye test or their

518
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,880
thoughts on the Big Twelve, or their thoughts on BYU

519
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,319
are the thoughts of the faith that's associated with BYU.

520
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,599
That's their prerogative, that's their deal, And there could be

521
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,079
some of that, but I'm going to tell you what

522
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,759
I think the main thing is on the other side.

523
00:27:58,839 --> 00:28:02,160
We're live from Sky Chevrolet in Provo, twenty five North

524
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,000
University Parkway in Provo. We're gonna be here till six pm.

525
00:28:06,039 --> 00:28:07,519
We'd love to see you, We'd love to chat with you.

526
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,200
I'm gonna give some if you come in and you

527
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,079
give a donation to the Road Home today. That's what

528
00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:13,160
we're doing here. That's why we're here. Every year we

529
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,880
have so much donated. We're hoping this year is the same.

530
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,079
We're asking everyone to rally together and help the Road Home.

531
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,960
Last year we had a caravan of trucks full of toys, pillows, blankets,

532
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,640
personal care items, food for all of those that are

533
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,759
in the Road Home. So Chevy Dealerships will take donations

534
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,599
through the close of business on December seventeenth. Next day,

535
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:37,519
Thursday the eighteenth, will they will take all the generous

536
00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:40,920
donations and make those deliveries to the road Homes Midvale

Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I believe is what the main

556
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,279
problem with the college Football Playoff Committee is why there's

557
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:36,759
so much bias and why they are stiff arming Brigham

558
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:39,960

Speaker 3: And who's the AI creator?

603
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the tell of the song this. I caught

604
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:15,079
the wind of this yesterday. I was like, okay, you know,

605
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,119
what are we gonna do with bandoneday? Always thinking about

606
00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:19,920
the next show. And one of the followers that follows

607
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:22,119
us follows a bunch of the media people. That's an

608
00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:25,039
attorney here. His name's Jake Lee. He said mandatory listen

609
00:32:25,119 --> 00:32:27,440
for the BYU Sikos. He says, this wrote this song

610
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,480
about Kilane. It's called He Stayed by Chris Midten. So

611
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:32,720
Chris Minden is the artist. The title of it is

612
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:33,240
he Stayed.

613
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: And that was a vibe. Honestly, it was actually pretty.

614
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 5: Decent about Kilane's standing in Provos. So I liked it

615
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,160
and I wanted to, you know, just spread that love,

616
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:44,720
especially with Killanie signing a long term extension and he'll

631
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:18,119
Speaker 3: I want to tell you a little bit.

632
00:33:18,319 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: I want to tell you a little story about the

633
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,799
college football Playoff Committee and why they are the way

634
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,640
that they are now. Look, I will I would be

635
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,119
I would even rememss if I if I did not

636
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,680
state that I do think there are some like Big

637
00:33:29,759 --> 00:33:34,559
twelve bias here as a a non power to conference.

638
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:38,319
Speaker 3: There's definitely that. But where does that stem from?

639
00:33:38,759 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 2: Why is it that they're so aggressively ardently uh just

640
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:49,960
stiff arming BYU and then also like dropping Utah multiple

641
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,880
slots after after winning football games they if they didn't lose, Yeah,

642
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,519
they didn't have the same similar style points in the game, control,

643
00:33:57,559 --> 00:34:00,240
et cetera that you wanted to see, and they give

644
00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:02,839
up a lot of rushing yards. But like it, it's

645
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,359
insane that they've dropped as they have. It's very disappointing,

646
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,320
There's no doubt about it. Right now, you're looking at

647
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,519
the collegeotball playoff rankings that dropped yesterday Ohio States number one,

648
00:34:14,559 --> 00:34:18,199
Indiana number two, Georgia number three, Texas Tech four, Oregon five,

649
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:18,880
ole Miss six.

650
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 3: How in the world did Ole Miss like elevate? Why

651
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,599
did they move up a slot? It's just insane to me.

652
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 2: Texas A and M seven, Oklahoma eight, Alabama nine, Notre

653
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,039
Dame at ten, By's at eleven, Miami at twelve, Texas

654
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:33,320
at thirteen, Vanderbilt fourteen, and Utah's at fifteen.

655
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 3: So even though Utah was right behind.

656
00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:39,639
Speaker 2: BYU and they won their games the last few weeks,

657
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,159
they've dropped to number fifteen in the country.

658
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 3: Why is that? What is going on here? We have

659
00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:48,719
to go back to last year.

660
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 2: Okay, you gotta go back to last year and what

661
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:55,119
happened in the college football playoff last year? Okay, the

662
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,679
expanded playoff. This is the initial foray into this expanded

663
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:06,920
player and who was ultimately left out of last year's rankings.

664
00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:09,679
Do you remember, by chance, Ronald the three man weaver,

665
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:15,119
what happened last year and the storylines that came out

666
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:20,519
of that final ranking right from the committee and the

667
00:35:20,639 --> 00:35:22,199
bracketology that ensued.

668
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 3: Do you recall what happened, what the storylines.

669
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 5: Were, Yeah, if I'm correct, correct me if I'm wrong. Alabama,

670
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,360
I believe he got left out of the playoffs.

671
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 2: So they got they done, got left out the perennial

672
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:36,280
annual national champion under Nick Saban, the golden child of

673
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,800
college football, arguably the greatest college football coach.

674
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 3: To walk the face of this earth. That's what happened, right,

675
00:35:46,159 --> 00:35:46,920
They got left out.

676
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:53,199
Speaker 2: The SEC's darling over the last twenty years was left out.

677
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 3: There was a lot of weaping, waving and nash the teeth.

678
00:35:56,519 --> 00:36:02,519
Speaker 2: There was all manner of just just anger, right and

679
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,679
threats and who knows what happened, you know what in

680
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,639
that process. But it was not fair, and you know

681
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,599
what happened. Then you look at the teams that got

682
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:17,320
in and you wonder if it was the best team.

683
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: So this is the debate.

684
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: Does the regular season matter? Do conference championship games matter? Okay,

685
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,880
is it your resume or is it where you're trending

686
00:36:29,039 --> 00:36:31,679
in November as one of the best team's most talented

687
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,280
teams with that subjective feeling eye test that people are

688
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:41,239
going to discuss, right, that's the debate here. So who

689
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:46,760
got in Clemson Texas? Remember Clemson knocked off SMU in

690
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:52,239
their conference championship game, giving SMU the only their second

691
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,039
loss on the season. Their first loss was at home

692
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,360
to BYU. Won score game, okay, three points or whatever

693
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,239
it was. So you had that scenario and Clemson, by

694
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,159
the skin of their teeth beat sm It wasn't like

695
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:09,119
it was a dominant victory by any means. Who else

696
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,960
got in? Arizona State got in and they got to buy.

697
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,079
People were picked off that Arizona.

698
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 3: State got to buy.

699
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 2: Now they showed well versus Texas because Texas beat Clemson

700
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,440
and then they it came down to the wire thirty

701
00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:26,559
nine to thirty one Arizona State in Campskataboo and Sam

702
00:37:26,679 --> 00:37:29,280
Levitt they had they had a nice they had a

703
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,440
nice outing, Okay, they really did. They kept the competitive,

704
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,400
they kept entertaining, and so you know, but like a

705
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,800
lot of people felt really disjointed about Arizona State, I know,

706
00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:41,119
you know, but they got the buy because they were

707
00:37:41,159 --> 00:37:43,440
the Big twelve, you know, Big twelve champion, right, so

708
00:37:43,519 --> 00:37:46,800
they earned that right to get that buy Tennessee Ohio State.

709
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,519
Tennessee got knocked off by Ohio State. No problem there

710
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:53,000
because these are you know, SEC versus big ten. Oregon

711
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:55,719
got the buye remember, and Oregon ended up playing Ohio

712
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:01,559
State in the quarterfinals. This is where people are ticked SMU.

713
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:05,760
They believe did not deserve to be in the in

714
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,079
the College Football Playoff. They were not one of the

715
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:12,719
best twelve teams in college football, okay, and they got

716
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,679
just blasted by Penn State, who was the sixth seed.

717
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,199
Speaker 3: Okay, it was thirty eight to ten. See I told

718
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:20,480
you so.

719
00:38:21,159 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 2: Boise State got a buy okay, because they were so

720
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,480
highly ranked and they had Ashton gent and they had

721
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:30,079
some say they had pomp and circumstance, and they were

722
00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:32,880
a highly rated program and a good football team obviously.

723
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,159
But they got They got beat up pretty good too.

724
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,280
Like it wasn't really a close game. Penn State beat

725
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,719
them up thirty one fourteen in the quarterfinals. Once again,

726
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,880
like they're saying. What they're going to say is, see,

727
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,039
Boise State didn't deserve to be in there because it

728
00:38:47,199 --> 00:38:48,679
was a it wasn't a close game.

729
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 3: The game control the margin of victory.

730
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,559
Speaker 2: Right, Ashton GenZ couldn't run the ball very effectively until

731
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:58,039
later on in that game. All of those things, right,

732
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:03,519
is what the tur the the the rhetoric is okay,

733
00:39:04,039 --> 00:39:06,599
Indiana Notre Dame. Indiana obviously lost to Notre Dame, but

734
00:39:06,599 --> 00:39:08,840
they were fine with that because Indiana has been kind

735
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,599
of a new Bello of the ball. Signetti's, you know,

736
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,599
a very popular figure right now. And then obviously Georgia

737
00:39:14,639 --> 00:39:16,960
got to buy. So this is where it stems from.

738
00:39:17,199 --> 00:39:22,000
They don't want to have the SMUs The Boise States

739
00:39:22,039 --> 00:39:23,800
are gonna have to let in somebody, right, They're gonna

740
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,719
have to let in you know, tu Lane, They're gonna

741
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,880
have to let in somebody. But you know how, how

742
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,199
does the Collegeotball playof Committee view Tulane right now? With

743
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,559
some erre all leaving. Is North Texas gonna be the darling?

744
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:36,679
Is James Madison gonna be the darling? What's gonna happen there?

745
00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:39,360
Are they gonna drop et cetera. We don't know right

746
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,559
now with the conference championship games on the horizon, but

747
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,000
they don't want to be in that same situation. They

748
00:39:46,039 --> 00:39:48,760
don't want the same critiques. They don't want the same anger,

749
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,039
vitriol and criticisms coming down their way. They're going to

750
00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:54,840
lean on the brands this go around, and they're gonna

751
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,519
see if it's more entertaining. They're gonna see if it's

752
00:39:57,599 --> 00:40:01,159
more competitive. They're going to see if there's better viewership.

753
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,280
They're going to see if there's more money to be

754
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:09,800
made by putting the traditional brands of college football into

755
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:11,920
the top ten.

756
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 3: That's what they're going to do this year, unless chaos.

757
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: Ensues, Unless BUYU beats Texas Tech, right, that's one of

758
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,320
the chaotic things that occur. They are hoping, praying, the

759
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,800
committee is hoping brain that that does not happen, because

760
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,039
then they will be forced to have Texas Tech and

761
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,800
BYU in the College Football Playoff. They will because they're

762
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,280
not going to reprimand a team that just spent twenty

763
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,239
eight million nil and has all the talent in the world.

764
00:40:38,559 --> 00:40:41,400
And you know, I guess they could try to justify it.

765
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,400
They could try to say, Okay, well they lost to

766
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:48,639
ASU earlier in the year, right, and ASU lost to

767
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,880
U of A and they're no longer apartner. They could

768
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:52,480
try that. I don't think it would happen, though, I

769
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,039
think Texas Tech is still a team that spent the

770
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:58,880
money and has a ton of respect from the traditional

771
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,360
brands and those that are spending a lot of money,

772
00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:04,880
and therefore Tech six is not bounced. So that would

773
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,559
mean Notre Dame, who has been the team that Brett

774
00:41:08,679 --> 00:41:11,719
your mark has specifically picked a fight with, and a

775
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,199
lot of teams have picked fights with Notre Dame. You

776
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,760
compare and contrast the resumes, and you can make an

777
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,360
argument that BYU has a much better resume, at least

778
00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:27,360
marginally better resume, depending on what metric you want to

779
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:32,280
lean on. So that is the reason why they don't

780
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,480
want the same critique. They just want something different this year,

781
00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:39,519
and the colleget Ball Playoff committee and all of the

782
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,840
media entities surrounding that college fort ball Playoff that are

783
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,960
buoyed up by the filthy lucre of college athletics are

784
00:41:46,599 --> 00:41:47,400
leaning that way.

785
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 3: Because they just want to see what happens.

786
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: They want to see something different than what occurred last

787
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,360
year when they got a whole heap of amount of criticism. Okay,

788
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:02,079
that's the situation, So those are my thoughts. All right, guys, Well,

789
00:42:02,159 --> 00:42:04,440

Speaker 2: Brian Santiago and our good friend, a friend of the show,

876
00:46:28,599 --> 00:46:31,039
fan of the program, Kalai Satake, head coach of b AU.

877
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 8: Thank you, Keith kind words from President. First of all,

878
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:43,159
I just want to express my gratitude to our president,

879
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,639
to President Reese and our Vice president Keith wur Kinkin,

880
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,800
and also our athletic director Brian Santiago on their leadership

881
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,480
and just just doing this. I mean, if I'm being honest,

882
00:46:54,639 --> 00:46:57,199
I just wanted to be here long, you know. That's

883
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,840
that's what it's all about. I've had a amazing mentors

884
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,480
along the way, including level Edwards and Kyle Whittingham, who

885
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,119
likes sticking where they're at, and I appreciate all their

886
00:47:09,159 --> 00:47:11,199
examples to me, and so this is a place that

887
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:15,320
I want to be for the long run. And luckily

888
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,039
I grew up cheering for this team and I played

889
00:47:17,079 --> 00:47:19,679
here too, so it helps to play for the legend

890
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:24,000
Leavelle Edwards. I also want to show my gratitude appreciations

891
00:47:24,039 --> 00:47:25,559
to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of

892
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:31,639
Latter day Saints for allowing us to be a great

893
00:47:31,679 --> 00:47:34,519
partner in the Big Twelve but also to function well

894
00:47:34,519 --> 00:47:39,000
as a program. And the goal here was to for

895
00:47:39,119 --> 00:47:40,719
me not only to be here for a long time,

896
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,440
but also to take care of my coaching staff and

897
00:47:43,519 --> 00:47:46,599
my support staff. And this allows us to do that

898
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,679
and also to take care of our players. So there's

899
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,480
a strong commitment from the university to do those things

900
00:47:54,679 --> 00:47:58,400
and that speaks to my heart. And so that was

901
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,960
easy for me to agree to do that if they

902
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,679
took care of my people, like Brian said.

903
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,199
Speaker 1: And and then.

904
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 8: I want to express my love to my family. Yeah,

905
00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:22,760
Pops and my all my family. I mean, I got

906
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,920
tons of cousins, you guys know, even some that claim

907
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,159
me that we're not blood related. But it's okay, but

908
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:32,480
thank thankful to all my family. I've been raised by

909
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,039
a village and you know, I hope, I hope I

910
00:48:36,079 --> 00:48:40,639
can make them proud. And so with that, also want

911
00:48:40,679 --> 00:48:43,360
to express my love and appreciation to my best mentor

912
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:49,760
that's my wife, Simply, and my four children Sky Sadie, KK,

913
00:48:50,159 --> 00:48:53,119
Colney Junior we call them too, and then our baby

914
00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:56,880
girl Sylvia. So they've been amazing throughout the whole process

915
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:01,480
and they're the best supporters for us, and I appreciate them.

916
00:49:01,559 --> 00:49:04,440
I also want to tell the players how much I

917
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:11,599
love them. They're amazing and they make my job so

918
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,840
much and so enjoyable, and I love being around them

919
00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:19,000
and being their coach has made me a better person

920
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,920
the last ten years and I got a lot more

921
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,719
improvement to make, so I'm planning to be around for

922
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,000
a while to get better. And but I'm so proud

923
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:31,719
and honored to be their coach, and I'm honored that

924
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,760
I get to learn from such a wonderful young men.

925
00:49:34,599 --> 00:49:37,159
And then and finally, I just want to I mean,

00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:02,800

933
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:04,679

934
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,639

00:50:08,639 --> 00:50:10,199
I know I like to hang out with you guys

my relationships with everybody. I'm a people person, so I

941
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,960
like to hang out with people and get to know them.

942
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,920
And so finally, I always want to express my love

943
00:50:29,039 --> 00:50:49,559
to all the fans. My wife said that the last

944
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:55,320
day or so, it was probably one of her favorites

945
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,840
and my family and she called it a love bomb

946
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:08,239
from all the fans. And yeah, it's it's hard to

947
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,519
leave when you have something so special and you have

948
00:51:11,639 --> 00:51:16,480
amazing people that support us. And so I'm just grateful

949
00:51:16,519 --> 00:51:18,719
that I get to be around the amazing fans and

950
00:51:20,639 --> 00:51:24,239
to make things easier, just we'll just quit all the

951
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:27,800
drama and I'm here. You know that way people don't

952
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,280
have to stop in the middle of the road it's

953
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,559
not safe, and row the windows down and yell at

954
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:36,039
me to stay. There's a student that sat out here

955
00:51:36,119 --> 00:51:40,280
by my parking spot with a sign, and I asked

956
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:41,719
him how long he was waiting there, and he said

957
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:43,239
a couple hours. He had no idea when I was

958
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,360
going to be there. And gave him a hug and

959
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,920
took a picture of him. But the fans all over

960
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,480
the place, it's it's super special. When social media can

961
00:51:52,519 --> 00:51:57,159
be toxic and danger sometimes and so negative, thank you

962
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:01,280
for making it a loving place where my children can

963
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:06,880
feel proud of their dad and I could just be

964
00:52:07,159 --> 00:52:08,920
really proud of the friends that I got to make

965
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,840
and the memories and so those are things that we

966
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,719
that we get to hang on to forever. And so

967
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,880
I still have a goal of hugging every fan, every

968
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,960
BYU fan. I got close in the last ten years,

969
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
but I feel like there's going to be more. So anyways,

970
00:52:25,159 --> 00:52:27,639
I want to get back to get back to the

971
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,840
game and the focus on the game. That's that's the

972
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,760
goal here. I think that we can. I'm a little

973
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,800
maintenance guy, so as you can see, this is I

974
00:52:36,039 --> 00:52:38,400
just came from practice, So this is what I wear.

975
00:52:38,639 --> 00:52:42,239
It's all free and and so I just plan on

976
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,559
just you know, to get the focus back on the boys,

977
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,599
back on us playing Texas Tech and this amazing conference

978
00:52:48,639 --> 00:52:51,320
with the Big twelve, with a great commissioner like Brett

979
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,159
your mark, and looking forward to the matchup against Texas

980
00:52:54,199 --> 00:52:56,360

981
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,840
And we can just I can answer the questions for

982
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,880
you guys, but we can just move on and and

983
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:02,920
know that this is settled and get back to the game.

984
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:03,639
So love you.

985
00:53:05,679 --> 00:53:07,679
Speaker 2: There, you have it right there, Coloni stock a couple

986
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,480

00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,559
will give you and just makes you feel like you're

994
00:53:40,599 --> 00:53:44,039
a part of his family. He's super relational and the

995
00:53:44,199 --> 00:53:49,280
human oriented. He's not transactional, he's transformational in his approach,

996
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:54,280
and so when you see the the mirroring of love,

997
00:53:54,559 --> 00:53:57,880
that that that has been expressed.

998
00:53:58,039 --> 00:53:58,159
Speaker 3: Right.

999
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,280
Speaker 2: So he's he's shown a lot of leve a lot

1000
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:05,320
of people over the years. And then when push comes

1001
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:11,639
to shove and you're you're, you're, you're incentivized to leave,

1002
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,360

Are they really that cool? They're not like I want

1039
00:56:10,599 --> 00:56:13,920
to hang out with my friends. You discredit everything that

1040
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,559
your parents do. You don't think they're wise, even though

1041
00:56:16,559 --> 00:56:18,599
the commandment says, honor thy father and thy mother, that

1042
00:56:18,639 --> 00:56:20,960
thy day's baby. But long upon land. You just throw

1043
00:56:21,039 --> 00:56:24,320
that out the door. You forget about Sunday school lessons.

1044
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,679

1063
00:57:23,159 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 10: Okay, what's I've known Cloney for a long time. We

1064
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:30,840
were teammates. We were we were teammates back in nineteen

1065
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,559
ninety eight, along with pretty much the whole staff, you know. Yeah,

1066
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,679
And it's one of those things that we have mentioned

1067
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:41,960
yesterday that you've got a group of coaches that almost

1068
00:57:42,159 --> 00:57:45,559
all of them come from the same the same university.

1069
00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:47,599
And not only that, I mean to even give Jay

1070
00:57:47,639 --> 00:57:49,400
Hill since Jay and I played at Rix together.

1071
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's pretty close, even though he went to

1072
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,840
the to the school upon the Hill.

1073
00:57:55,639 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, but you know, it's it's it's really special to

1074
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,079
see and we were able to play with with with

1075
00:58:01,239 --> 00:58:02,920
Levell and coach Edwards.

1076
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: He brought that.

1077
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:10,719
Speaker 10: Just vibe to the to the team where you know,

1078
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,280
although he was just cruising around his golf cart most

1079
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,360
of the time when but we were kind of at

1080
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,280
the end of his his tenure at b YU, But

1081
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,920
just being in the office with Levell was was amazing

1082
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,039
to have a meeting with level and and and what's

1083
00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:29,400
crazy is years later my dad ran into Lavell and uh,

1084
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,519
you know, I'm not I'm not the superstar that some

1085
00:58:32,639 --> 00:58:33,480
of these other guys.

1086
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,679
Speaker 1: Are like even like you and I'm not.

1087
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 11: But yeah, you know, Levell remembered me, you know, and

1088
00:58:39,079 --> 00:58:41,519
and and remembered where I came from. And you know,

1089
00:58:41,639 --> 00:58:43,800
it's just all the players that have been through there,

1090
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,559
Klane has that embodies that exact same thing.

1091
00:58:46,719 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 7: You know.

1092
00:58:47,039 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 10: And you enjoyed going in the office with Level. I

1093
00:58:50,599 --> 00:58:53,400
know the players enjoy going to spending time with Kilon. Yes,

1094
00:58:54,199 --> 00:58:56,360
when he got emotional, you know, I was just listening

1095
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,800
to that as I drove over here, and you know,

1096
00:58:59,239 --> 00:59:01,239
it kind of brought out the same thing in me.

1097
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I I grew up as a as a

1098
00:59:03,239 --> 00:59:03,920
b YU fan.

1099
00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 10: This very similar to Kilani and that we just loved

1100
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
and always wanted to play at b YU and be

1101
00:59:09,079 --> 00:59:12,559
a part of that. And and uh and the fan base.

1102
00:59:13,199 --> 00:59:15,400
It's really cool, the greatest thing. You know, people pull

1103
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:19,639
it over it, stopping it. Come on, we want to

1104
00:59:19,719 --> 00:59:22,079
keep you in. And you know, there's not a lot

1105
00:59:22,159 --> 00:59:24,440
of areas that are going to get that. And and

1106
00:59:24,679 --> 00:59:27,719
and had he gone, there would still be a lot

1107
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,840
of grateful people. It wouldn't be like the old miss

1108
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:31,880
get the hell out of here, you know, with a

1109
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:33,920
watch around it more it's just a whole different deal.

1110
00:59:34,039 --> 00:59:37,079
And I'm just super super excited for the team. I'm

1111
00:59:37,119 --> 00:59:40,360
super excited for Coloni and his staff and and uh,

1112
00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:42,320
what a great day to be a Cougar and and

1113
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:45,599
uh and let's go win, man. I I just can't

1114
00:59:45,639 --> 00:59:47,360
wait for this week. And and I think there's a

1115
00:59:47,519 --> 00:59:49,840
there's a there's a feeling in the air where these

1116
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:53,719
guys are ready to play and uh, Texas Check better

1117
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:54,280
watch a we.

1118
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: Might just go in and wreck them.

1119
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,159
Speaker 3: I love it, man, I love it. Yeah, it it's

1120
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,960
that you know, there's a chance.

1121
01:00:05,119 --> 01:00:08,039
Speaker 2: I think I think the coaching staff is actually going

1122
01:00:08,119 --> 01:00:11,920
into this fairly optimistic. Yeah, you know what I mean,

1123
01:00:12,039 --> 01:00:14,480
Like they believe that they can beat Texas Tech on

1124
01:00:14,519 --> 01:00:15,159
a neutral field.

1125
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,559
Speaker 10: We're all athletes, right when we played, right, Yeah, and

1126
01:00:18,679 --> 01:00:20,880
you your expectation when you go on the field is

1127
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:21,559
you're gonna beat.

1128
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: The next guy.

1129
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 10: These guys beat us before, they beat our team before,

1130
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:29,400
in these players, so they have in their heads that

1131
01:00:29,519 --> 01:00:31,960
it's time to go out and face these guys and

1132
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,719
show them that we are just as good. And not

1133
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,559
only that, just everything going on with the college football

1134
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:40,079
playoffs and last night and and let's throw all these

1135
01:00:40,159 --> 01:00:42,679
teams up there, but let's not throw BYU even in

1136
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,360
the mix, because had they done that, it would have

1137
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:49,079
been embarrassing for the whole group there to be like, well,

1138
01:00:49,159 --> 01:00:52,400
by you does beat all these guys in every category,

1139
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:54,519
but we're not gonna talk about it. So they just

1140
01:00:54,599 --> 01:00:56,559
they just keep you off the screen. So let's go

1141
01:00:56,719 --> 01:00:59,599
prove to them who we are and what we can do,

1142
01:00:59,679 --> 01:01:01,760
and let'slet's get it. Let's get a home game in

1143
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,280
the playoffs here in Provo.

1144
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: So I think the.

1145
01:01:04,519 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 10: Players are gonna be ready, coaches are gonna be ready.

1146
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,559
I think that there's gonna be some surprises in our offense,

1147
01:01:09,719 --> 01:01:12,800
that some wrinkles that that we've been waiting for all year.

1148
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: And and you know, I'm the head over to practice

1149
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:16,599
right now and just kind of get a glimpse of

1150
01:01:16,679 --> 01:01:16,880
let's go.

1151
01:01:17,039 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, bro, But I and I just wanted to say,

1152
01:01:20,039 --> 01:01:22,079
I really appreciate Ben what you're doing here. And and

1153
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,800
you know, as a conger nation, we do a really

They're selling it out, but.

01:01:45,679 --> 01:01:46,719
you think people could need.

1163
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, even if stuff like you're giving away like right now,

1164
01:01:49,199 --> 01:01:50,639

1166
01:01:52,119 --> 01:01:54,239
I that's all great, but hey, let's let's do for

1167
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:54,840
the road home.

1168
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:55,079
Speaker 1: Now.

1169
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 2: If you got u lightly you use clothing or something

1170
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:01,639
like that, Yeah, you have like sometimes you go into

1171
01:02:01,639 --> 01:02:04,000
the food storage and you're like, we have so much

1172
01:02:04,039 --> 01:02:07,159
food storage, like you know, like let's let's let's donate that.

1173
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,079
Speaker 10: And there's there's some things that a lot of people

1174
01:02:11,159 --> 01:02:13,360
don't know with me and and in my past, and

1175
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,480
there was a time where in Laguna Beach, I stayed

1176
01:02:16,519 --> 01:02:19,119
at the Friendship Shelter. I was there for ninety days

1177
01:02:19,159 --> 01:02:22,599
and before that I had been homeless, you know, and

1178
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,159
the donations there were amazing and the things that I

1179
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,719
was able to get. It was an opportunity to make

1180
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:33,920
a lot of changes in my life. And you don't

1181
01:02:34,039 --> 01:02:36,519
see and and a lot of that was I didn't

1182
01:02:36,559 --> 01:02:38,679
have much at that point, you know, so the clothing

1183
01:02:38,719 --> 01:02:41,000
that was given, I could actually go in there and

1184
01:02:41,119 --> 01:02:42,239
pick out a few different things.

1185
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:42,679
Speaker 1: That close.

1186
01:02:43,159 --> 01:02:45,119
Speaker 10: We always had what we needed. We had people coming

1187
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:47,559
in and cooking for us and feeding us, and you know,

1188
01:02:49,519 --> 01:02:52,320
so I'm super happy to give and be a part

1189
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,480
of this. My life has been a little bit of

1190
01:02:55,519 --> 01:02:57,960
a whirlwind, and so I would hope that we can

1191
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,360
get some more people just how we donate to others

1192
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,159
in other cities. Let's let's come in and donate here,

1193
01:03:03,199 --> 01:03:04,840
and let's take care of our own here in Utah

1194
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:05,559
and make sure that we.

1195
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:06,679
Speaker 1: We do our part.

1196
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 3: I love that man, and and uh that personal experience.

1197
01:03:12,119 --> 01:03:12,239
Speaker 1: You know.

1198
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 2: I always say like this temporal life is is for

1199
01:03:16,639 --> 01:03:19,400
the bidder and the suite. It's for the good and

1200
01:03:19,519 --> 01:03:22,360
the bad. It's for the beautiful and the ugly. And

1201
01:03:22,519 --> 01:03:26,760
the more spectrum you get to experience, the more grateful

1202
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,679
you are and the more the happier you are, and

1203
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:34,199
you're more willing to give and have a bit more

1204
01:03:34,239 --> 01:03:35,559
of eternal perspective.

1205
01:03:35,719 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: You know what it feels like.

1206
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 3: You know what it feels like, you know what, and

1207
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:41,360
you become you become more christ Like.

1208
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: And just like what Ron's story.

1209
01:03:44,159 --> 01:03:47,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, and and I appreciate him sharing that all of

1210
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,480
that gives us perspective that you don't get the perspective.

1211
01:03:51,159 --> 01:03:52,119
Speaker 1: You haven't been there.

1212
01:03:52,159 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 10: You can see it, you can observe it, but you

1213
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,920
can't really feel it and internalize it. And and so

1214
01:03:57,039 --> 01:03:58,920
it's important that that those of us that have kind

1215
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,960
of gone through some of that stuff have some opportunities

1216
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:02,119
to show those experiences.

1217
01:04:02,199 --> 01:04:04,800
Speaker 1: And and it makes me super grateful bef where I'm

1218
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,559
at today. And and let's go.

1219
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 3: Crazy man ready for this weekend.

1220
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:13,199
Speaker 2: Let's good they make it wrecked. I feel like they

1221
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:20,079
may get red. Oh my goodness, that's the wise. Uh yeah,

1222
01:04:20,119 --> 01:04:20,480
I hope.

1223
01:04:20,519 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 3: So, I really do.

1224
01:04:21,599 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a tremendous what Vegas

1225
01:04:23,639 --> 01:04:27,280
is not in favor of the Kougs only giving. I

1226
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:28,960
think it's like a twelve and a half point dog

1227
01:04:29,159 --> 01:04:32,920
right now in Arlington, or it was yesterday, oh, thirteen

1228
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,039
and a half, now thirteen and a half now with

1229
01:04:35,239 --> 01:04:37,719
like what a thirty three percent chance of victory or

1230
01:04:37,719 --> 01:04:39,239
something like that for ESPN analytics.

1231
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: Good good, No, that it.

1232
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,199
Speaker 10: Even matters, that this doesn't matter nothing matters, it's all

1233
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:47,280
it's all talk. Nothing matters other than a guy, the

1234
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,719
teams showing up and playing ball, doing what they've done

1235
01:04:50,719 --> 01:04:53,159
since they were little kids. But getting revenge, you know,

1236
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:54,840
revenge in sports is huge.

1237
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:55,039
Speaker 1: Man.

1238
01:04:55,119 --> 01:04:57,519
Speaker 10: You want to show up and show out. Yeah, and

1239
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,079
when you've got these guys that that have beat us before.

1240
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,159
So and I know that the team's gonna be ready,

1241
01:05:03,199 --> 01:05:04,920
coaches are going to be ready. I hope around to

1242
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:09,320
getting some sleep. Uh, probably not, you know, but sleep.

1243
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't realize a Rod don't sleep.

1244
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,639
You know, he's a non sleeper.

1245
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 10: You know, your mind's racing on on what play you're

1246
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:22,159
gonna call in personnel and different things. You know, you

1247
01:05:22,239 --> 01:05:24,079
wake up at three in the morning, there's no chance

1248
01:05:24,159 --> 01:05:27,119
going back to sleep because your mind's already racing into

1249
01:05:27,159 --> 01:05:29,199
the next day and what you got to get done

1250
01:05:29,239 --> 01:05:30,559
and how you want to accomplish things.

1251
01:05:30,639 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: And we have a great staff.

1252
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:32,559
Speaker 3: Uh.

1253
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 10: And I'm so proud of Klannie and what he's doing.

1254
01:05:35,079 --> 01:05:37,719
I'm proud of Cougar Nation for showing out and just
