44
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,159
Speaker 2: Man, give us a brief update, man, a little keeping

45
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,879
up with the cougars.

46
00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: What's keeping below busy these days? Man?

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 3: My my my third, my third youngest dre he's eight

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,639
months man, he is. I'm look, I don't know how

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,240
I know in the LDS culture, in the church, you know,

50
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:28,199
you guys have like ten kids, but like I, I can't. Man,

51
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,000
my my, I got a fourteen year old, I got

52
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,400
a ten year old, and I got an eight month

53
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:36,120
year old. So I've lost probably about five pounds, you know,

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,599
chasing him around. He's crawling and going up the stairs,

55
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,639
doing all crazy types of stuff. So that's a pretty

56
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,759
big gap, you know, ten ten years and eight months.

57
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,680
So I'm relearning how to be your dad again, you know. So,

58
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:52,360
But yeah, that's that's about it. Man. He's he's a

59
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,360
breath of fresh air. He's a loving, loving kid. He's loved,

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,560
he's happy. You know, he'll have his his his his

61
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,759
nine month appointment here in a bit. But he's on

62
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,599
track right now to be about six to two. So

63
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:07,439
I'm just for that.

64
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: Let's go. I love that.

65
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: Keeping busy and multiplying and replenishing the earth. That's the

66
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,680
first commandment that God gave Adam and Eve below.

67
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: I know it. I know, I know, I know it.

68
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,439
So you know, uh yeah, yeah, I wish I could.

69
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: Do more, but you know, you know, he looked where

70
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:32,319
you stand below, Brian. This BA football team coming off

71
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,439
a miraculous, marvelous season twelve to two, only losses to

72
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,319
Texas Tech, definitely one of the best seasons in BAU

73
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,319
football history. When you look at what's been accomplished over

74
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:46,360
the last two years, it's, uh, it's impressive. Man, with

75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,639
Collott's building. As a former player, what are you seeing

76
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:53,080
that You're like, I.

77
00:03:53,039 --> 00:03:58,319
Speaker 3: Think, I think culture is probably the biggest thing. When

78
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,680
you look at the landscape of college all right now

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,599
you have n IO and the transfer portal, it's it's

80
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:08,280
really hard to be loyal and and when you look

81
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:11,120
at the retention of b y U and and all

82
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:14,599
the guys that they've retained, especially starters and guys that

83
00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:19,040
have made, you know, impact on the field, you gotta

84
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,439
you gotta give up the culture. Obviously, you know, b

85
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:24,480
y U is a richer school in America. I don't

86
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,959
care what anybody says. We we're the richer school, but

87
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:32,680
we don't give out those funds like the rest of

88
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,120
the other schools. Right Like, we're not giving out the

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,000
same funds as Texas Tech or Miami or Notre Game,

90
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,680
et cetera. And so in order to retain these these guys,

91
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:47,879
it's it's it's it's culture. A lot of those guys.

92
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,600
When you when you think about all the guys that

93
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:52,839
have made impacts, like like Bear or l J, they

94
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:55,519
got it easily, went anywhere else, but they decided to stay.

95
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,079
Obviously they're gonna stay because they're they're getting money. That's

96
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,160
let's not let's try to sweep that under the rug,

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,519
like it's not a big thing. But to be able

98
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,759
to convince a kid to stay for reasons outside of

99
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,879
money says a lot. So I think I think cultures

100
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,439
is huge. And you know, I said this on TV

101
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:23,120
the other day, how you know your your like where

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,959
culture is passed down. Culture has passed down through your

103
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,800
the team, not necessarily through the head coach. Right, so

104
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,600
you have the head coach that culture is in the

105
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,360
vision and the mission has passed down to the leadership,

106
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:40,079
and then leadership then passed that they passed that down

107
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800
to the players. And I think the last two years,

108
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,439
to answer the question more directly, is you start to

109
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:49,399
see that regardless if it's transperportal guys, if it's freshman,

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,639
if it's Chase guys coming in, any any of the

111
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:55,800
of the new signing group that's coming in, they come in,

112
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,040
they love everything about the program. Uh, they love everything

113
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,680
about the city and and and what BYU stands for

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,839
and the and they gravitate to the culture like immediately

115
00:06:07,879 --> 00:06:10,519
almost like that. Right, So, I think he's done a

116
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,800
really great job of doing that.

117
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: Love that breakdown that you gave.

118
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,639
Speaker 2: There be low lots to be excited about, lots to

119
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,959
you know, buy into right now. And b Yu's trending

120
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,079
in the right direction, and they've they've acquired some great

121
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,920
talent via the portal and UH and the retention though,

122
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,639
the retention is what's so impressive. It's not like they

123
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,959
have to go out and acquire twenty thirty guys. They

124
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:38,720
can go out and get maybe ten eleven guys and

125
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:41,519
they're good. What does that say about the culture right now.

126
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 3: I think it says that it's bigger than football. You

127
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:52,759
know what what what BYU stands for what they're trying

128
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,639
to accomplish. You know the mission statement that's back to

129
00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:59,600
you know, by the church, and it resonates, you know.

130
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,519
I always tell the story after San Diego State took

131
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:07,920
away my scholarship. My first offer was with Gary Anderson

132
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,879
at Utah State. This is his first year being a

133
00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,920
head coach or going into his first year, and he said, look,

134
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:16,920
I know, I know you're short, but you're athletic, You're

135
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:19,959
crazy talent sed I'm gonna put you at corner. I'm

136
00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:21,839
gonna put you at nickel, I'm gonna put you at

137
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
strong safety, free safety. You're gonna return kicks, You're gonna

138
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,160
return punch. I'm gonna put your on offense. I'm gonna

139
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,800
get you some some bubble screens, some reverses. I'm gonna

140
00:07:31,879 --> 00:07:36,399
I'm gonna really highlight how versus how your your athleticism

141
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:38,079
is to get you to the next level, which is

142
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:41,360
the NFL, to where you know, these NFL scouts they

143
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,680
don't have to worry about you know, your height and uh.

144
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:49,360
And it was the same same game plan and blueprint

145
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:52,639
that I did in junior college. Right, I did everything

146
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,600
that Gary Anderson said that he wanted he wanted to

147
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,800
do for me at Utah State at the D one

148
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,680
level that I did in junior man. I went. I

149
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,120
went to b YU the next week, and Broncos didn

150
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,439
say none of that, none of that. I almost kind

151
00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:10,199
of regret not going to Uta. I'll saying, not gonna lie,

152
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:14,160
that's that's another conversation. But Bronco is like, look, I'm

153
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,279
gonna You're gonna be a better man, a better father, husband,

154
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:24,120
you know, brother son, you know, et cetera. And that

155
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,879
that was so different and a complete one eighty message

156
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:32,799
to me that I really resonated that you know, football

157
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,440
only lasts so long, and uh, life after ball is

158
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,399
really what's what's important, especially with me and you know,

159
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,639
being a shorter corner and my odds. And I think

160
00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:49,159
every coach regards if they're a head coach or an

161
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,320
assistant coach, they had that message that that resonates with

162
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,519
with players regardless if they're LDS or not LDS, that

163
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,840
they're black, white, orange, Muslim doesn't really matter. And so

164
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:02,840
I think I think that message Klinie has done a

165
00:09:02,919 --> 00:09:08,279
really great job of conveying that message that hate like

166
00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:10,279
like the off the field message as well as the

167
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,200
on the field message. But the on the field message,

168
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,039
i think for the first time in a while, is

169
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,840
now backed up. When you look at the wins, you

170
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:20,559
look at the guys that are getting drafted, you look

171
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,120
at the position that that that this program is in

172
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,159
being ranked top twenty five for the last couple of years.

173
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,039
So now you have a player that's that's getting the

174
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,360
off the field message, but the on the field message

175
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,879
is actually backed up, and you can see that through

176
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:40,639
through the stats, and you can see that through you know,

177
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,840
the amount of height and the love and the recognition

178
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:44,080
that the program is getting.

179
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 4: Check this out.

180
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: This was breaking news a little bit ago with I

181
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,440
think it was yesterday when it dropped. I don't know

182
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,480
if you saw this, but pending committee approval, college football

183
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,200
players can now playing in play in nine games and

184
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:04,360
keep their red shirt instead of the current four gamer rule. Now,

185
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,440
when you and I were playing, you play one play

186
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,159
and your red shirt is burned. Right then they moved

187
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:14,080
in twenty seventy to four games. Now it's up to nine.

188
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:17,559
I don't know how you would have utilized this, but

189
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:19,840
I should sure could have utilized this as a JUCO

190
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:21,000
transfer at BYU.

191
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: I need my year back then, Hey, let's go, let's

192
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:27,240
go play bro.

193
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: Hey, actually I need two years. Look, I need I

194
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,000
need a COVID year. Everybody got a COVID year, and

195
00:10:34,919 --> 00:10:37,039
I need my red shirt year. I didn't a red shirt,

196
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:40,120
so I got two years. Kline, come high. Let me,

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,679
I don't you know. I don't.

198
00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 4: I don't.

199
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,919
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't know how I feel

200
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:51,720
about it. Well, okay, now that you asked me, I'm

201
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,759
thinking about it, and I'm throwing right now so I

202
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:58,159
can get my thoughts together. Yeah, I like it because,

203
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,600
like I would, I would have loved to be a

204
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:06,879
red Shirt and had and got that experience, like like

205
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:10,240
real game time experience. And I'm not just talking about

206
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:11,919
on the field, off the field as well, right, like

207
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,679
being able to travel? What does that look like with

208
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:17,480
my grades and my classes? When I when I am traveling,

209
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:21,000
how do I communicate you know, those type of situations

210
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,720
to my teachers? How do I prepare when I'm on

211
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:28,519
the road. How do I tell my girlfriend, look, we're

212
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,200
not about to see to them? For a couple of days.

213
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,200
You know what I'm saying, all that stuff like plays

214
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,279
places and part of it of getting that experience, and

215
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:39,559
so I don't necessarily think it's a negative thing. It's

216
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,320
just kind of crazy to me. Like what you said

217
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,759
when we played it was you talk about playing one

218
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:46,879
snap man. If you if you if you took if

219
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:49,080
you took a certain like a junior college, if you

220
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,919
took a certain amount of credits, you like you were eligible, right,

221
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,840
like like junior colleges like d one you take one

222
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,919
snap Junior colleges is credits. And so I think it's

223
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000
it's just it's new to us. So it's kind of crazy.

224
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:05,120
But I think the better question, and I'm gonna ask

225
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:08,039
you this man, is does it does it does it

226
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,519
negatively impact the player? Or does it help them in

227
00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:13,240
a positive way?

228
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look selfishly, you know, you can strategically

229
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:23,720
navigate certain things. Like let's say, you know, I'll give

230
00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:26,480
you as an example, right that first year was what

231
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,440
two thousand and nine, wasn't that your first year? And

232
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:34,600
I know there was like some maybe like you didn't

233
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,360
know you were going to start until like the week.

234
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,159
Speaker 4: Of right, No, I did in my heart, you did

235
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:39,759
in your heart?

236
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:44,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay, so you started and played well. Versus Oklahoma,

237
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:49,200
you know, you go on the road, versus Tulane, you

238
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,360
play there, you win, you lost to Florida State.

239
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: You know, you play Colorado State.

240
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: You're looking at the back end of the schedule and like, hey,

241
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,480
like what is there like three games? Because remember you

242
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,440
can play in bowl games. You can play in bowl games.

243
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,519
So are there three games that are easily winnable that

244
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,559
you could maybe sit out for and like, hey, I

245
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,279
can play an additional two years, right. It becomes a

246
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,000
little bit more strategic, right, Like when I came to

247
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,399
by you even getting four games, that would have been

248
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,399
nice to be able to strategically be like, okay, well

249
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:26,200
they're gonna redshirt me, but I'll play in four games.

250
00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:28,799
But and you could also kind of pull You could say, hey,

251
00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:30,440
I want to read you because I want to be

252
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,840
here for the next two years, right, or I want

253
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:34,440
to maintain my eligibility.

254
00:13:34,879 --> 00:13:37,039
Speaker 4: I don't know, you can you can strategically navigate it

255
00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:37,639
a little bit more.

256
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 2: And now this day and age more earning potential as well. Right,

257
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,440
that's almost three seasons. It'll eventually go five for five.

258
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:50,759
It'll eventually go there, but there's some litigation that's occurring.

259
00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:53,120
There's some lawyering that's going on right now that's limiting

260
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:56,600
that ability. But eventually it'll get five for five. But

261
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,919
so I think it's a good thing overall. I'm a

262
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:02,240
player advocate, even though it does create a little bit

263
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:07,480
more chaos for coaches and administrators and institutions.

264
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: Well, Ben, I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you

265
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:13,600
like a personal example. This is twenty ten, right, So

266
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,519
we we played Florida State and I remember in the

267
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,039
up spraining their terrance some ligament in my shoulders and

268
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,200
that that was the same game that Riley Nelson ended

269
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,600
up getting hurt and he red shirted. Oh yeah, I remember. Yeah.

270
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,759
I remember going in on Monday to the training room

271
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,360
and Riley was like, man, I'm done, and I was like,

272
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,879
I was like, oh shoot, I got hurt too. I'm like,

273
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,679
I'm I'm thinking about it now. This is this is

274
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:41,120
the reason why I was thinking about it. Yeah, there's two.

275
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,759
There's two reasons. The first and foremost, my cousin Joe

276
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:46,600
Sampson had just committed right and I played with him

277
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,960
at the junior college level and he had just committed.

278
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,440
He was he had the red shirt because he even

279
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,759
got grades. Yeah, I went to buy U and I

280
00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:56,440
couldn't be a mentor or nobody anymore. And he was

281
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,679
doing stupid stuff anyway. So I was like, I would

282
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,679
love to play with my cousin again. That's number one.

283
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,279
Number two, Bronco had announced and BYU had announced that

284
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:07,639
they were going to independent, and they had showed the schedule.

285
00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:09,639
So I was like, yo, this is a crazy schedule

286
00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,879
compared to what I'm I I'm used to this prior

287
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:14,279
to year. So and Riley was like.

288
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 5: Bro, just do it, just do it, do it, do it.

289
00:15:17,039 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: So so to this point of this announcement, I would

290
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,440
have rehabed and and still played. But I would have

291
00:15:25,559 --> 00:15:27,600
I wouldn't. I would have came to a certain point

292
00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:30,320
of whatever you know that the nine games or for

293
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:33,039
whatever it was, and played up until that point, and

294
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,919
I would have read started for selfish reasons, and then

295
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:37,600
it had another year, you know what I'm saying.

296
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:38,159
Speaker 4: Yep.

297
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,799
Speaker 3: So so now I'm I'm with you, man. I think

298
00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:43,559
I think it's a I think it's a good thing,

299
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,240
and especially guys like me that have a very slim

300
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:50,360
chance to play professionally at the next level, like I

301
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,679
would like when I like when I was like earning potential,

302
00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:55,279
like I was done, Like like I played in the

303
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,639
CFL for a year, I played like making sixty thousand

304
00:15:59,639 --> 00:16:03,639
dollars year, played arena football for year making three hundred

305
00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:05,639
dollars a week, you know what I mean, Like I'm

306
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:09,360
somebody like me, I'm I would gladly stay and get

307
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:12,720
two hundred three hundred grand and stay another year. So

308
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,720
you're absolutely right.

309
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: No doubt about it.

310
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,399
Speaker 2: And a lot of people are gonna get angry because,

311
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,440
you know, high school players, this whole new this new

312
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,919
realm of of of of college, the college football landscape,

313
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,200
high school players against screwed.

314
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, well, yeah, yeah, technically they are. They're just not.

315
00:16:29,559 --> 00:16:30,799
But but technically they're not.

316
00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: They can go to JUKO, they can go to D

317
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:35,320
one Double A, they can go to D two, they

318
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,120
can go to D three. They can continue to play

319
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:42,519
ball and receive scholarships, just not at the G six

320
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,799
or P four level, and then you can get experience there.

321
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,279
I mean, you know, you can still get your scholarship.

322
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,120
You're just not getting nil as much as you're you're

323
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,960
going the traditional route of getting a scholarship and academic scholarship.

324
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,159
Speaker 3: Initially, well you got you gotta think. Look, look, I'm

325
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:01,799
a I'm a marketer, right, and we always talk about

326
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:05,839
this and something where that's made a lot of success

327
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,519
with me and my marketing career is understanding what the

328
00:17:08,519 --> 00:17:11,759
customer journey is. So the first touch point, you know,

329
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:15,920
between you branding the customer all the way to the

330
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,839
transaction and then even post transaction in regard to how

331
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:21,880
do we retain this customer and then how do we

332
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,000
upsell this customer. It's the same exact thing when it

333
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:28,440
comes to college athletes. It's just you and I. We

334
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,039
had a there was a certain customer journey or a

335
00:17:31,079 --> 00:17:33,839
player journey, let's call it. That. There's a certain player

336
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:40,200
journey of guys that were underdeveloped like me, or guys

337
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,119
that didn't have grades, whatever the case is, that had

338
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,119
to go a certain route from from graduation in high

339
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,759
school all the way to making it to the D

340
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,960
one level. And so now you just got to that

341
00:17:53,319 --> 00:17:56,720
journey has changed. Right, So if I'm a high school

342
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,960
player and I'm not a five star guy for whatever reason,

343
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,960
and I now understand that this is the journey that

344
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,920
I had to take. It's just it's just being able

345
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,640
to adapt. So now I would recommend guys not to

346
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,119
So if you're super underdeveloped, maybe like how I was, Like,

347
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,319
I didn't go to Peter EATI I was eighteen, no life,

348
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,039
no life at all. I ain't start getting hair on

349
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,359
my test until I was twenty seven. That's how That's

350
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,720
how laid I was right. So so somebody like me,

351
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:25,000
I'm probably gonna go to the JC route because the

352
00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:29,759
JC like those as of now, those those years aren't

353
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,119
getting counted for, right, so I can develop as a

354
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,720
young man, get my grown man muscles, so to speak,

355
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,839
and then still have four years if I'm a kid

356
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,920
that is just under under recruited. But I'm ready. I

357
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,519
had the skills, said, I have the athleticism, everything, all

358
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:50,240
the intangible to get to a D one but I'm not.

359
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,039
But but for whatever reason, I'm not getting those looks.

360
00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:56,920
I'll go double A, right, I'll go to I'll go

361
00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:01,759
to a Sack State or am Montana State or Montana,

362
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,759
or I'll go to a Wyoming or a New Mexico,

363
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,559
a very low end, you know, D one school, because

364
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,599
that's the new JC. Right. Look, look who is the

365
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,039
best example they were talking about right now with Kean

366
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,799
Marrion right is at Miami right now playing for ne Samship.

367
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,279
You know what I mean, Like you can go like that,

368
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:25,480
that's the new route. So back in the day, it's like, man,

369
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:28,359
I'm not I'm not going to San Diego State. I'm

370
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,599
not going to Sack State like sike, I'm need to

371
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440
go D one. No no, no, no that Now the

372
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,640
route is, I'll go to Utah State. No offense to Bronco,

373
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,640
shouts to U Bronco, I love you. But I'll go

374
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,119
to Utah State for a year or two, get developed

375
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:48,240
and then being able to jump to a b y

376
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,880
U or Utah Like that's like you look at Utah,

377
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,559
Utah's quarterback right on New Mexico. Now is that Utah?

378
00:19:55,799 --> 00:20:00,880
Like that's the new route right there. And so I

379
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,279
think it's just says as as analysts and guys that

380
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,200
have played in the past, like you and I have,

381
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:10,559
we have to understand that it's just a new route,

382
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,039
right and don't matter how you get there is the

383
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,359
pole point is getting there.

384
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: I want to transition here with you below the National

385
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,319
Champion Chip game will be a little less than a

386
00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:27,200
week from now, Monday, five thirty pm Mountain Time on

387
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,480
ESPN Miami versus Indiana, Number one versus Number ten, the

388
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:34,119
fifteen to zero, Who's yours versus.

389
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 4: The thirteen and two Hurricanes? Who you picking? And why?

390
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,759
Speaker 3: Yeah? I got I'm gonna pick. I'm a pick Indiana.

391
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,599
You know I've been. I've been saying this for the

392
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,440
latter part of the season, that Indiana they they're doing something,

393
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:55,400
something different, something great. A lot of those guys took

394
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,839
the same route that I just talked about, the new route, right.

395
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,160
A lot of them came from James Madison, under recruited

396
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,720
for whatever reasons. And the head coach gets to Indiana,

397
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:08,880
he brings those guys with him so that those guys play,

398
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,559
they're playing with a chip on the shoulders. And you

399
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,359
and I both know this been. You know, going that

400
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:18,920
j C route and getting that internal motivation. It's one

401
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,960
thing to get outside motivation, right, like like fans booing

402
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:27,160
you or coaches under recruiting you. But it's another. It's

403
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,480
a whole nother perspective when you had that chip on

404
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:36,880
your shoulder that's created from within and and being overlooked,

405
00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:42,880
under recruited, not having the size that the talent or

406
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,440
you know, the skill set on paper, and you start

407
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,880
to build that internally. Man, that that that's that's a

408
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,720
different type of tip that you have on your shoulder.

409
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,319
And and I think that's what those guys have, and

410
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:57,279
that's that's hard to stop you. Look at me. I

411
00:21:57,319 --> 00:21:59,680
had that same tip that I had that was built

412
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,000
in turn. Really, man, nobody can stop me. I started

413
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,079
being five to six. I still hold a couple of records. Humbly,

414
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,559
I humbly say that. So Indiana, I'm yo, I'm rooting

415
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:14,400
for Keylan Marian. That's my home. Yet I love everything

416
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,039
he did for BYU and his story, but I gotta

417
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:18,759
choose Indiana.

418
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,799
Speaker 2: Do you think uh Indiana covers? Do you think they

419
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:24,359
beat him by more than eight and a half? Is

420
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,839
it more of a blowout like we've seen within these

421
00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:27,640
Indiana games.

422
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,319
Speaker 3: I hope they do. I got a lot of money

423
00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:30,519
on it.

424
00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, you picked Indiana to win, right,

425
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:38,279
but did you pick Indiana to cover plus eight and

426
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:38,599
a half?

427
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: Wits? Okay, ye yep, I did I think that. I

428
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:45,279
think it's a blowout. I think it's a blowout man

429
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:48,079
and here look, look, look you you know I'm the

430
00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:51,759
biggest conspiracy theorist ever. M hmm. I've been I've been here.

431
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:53,799
I've been hearing some things and looking at some things.

432
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:55,880
I think they I think they may be on to something.

433
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,200
So I put a lot of money on it.

434
00:22:59,680 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 6: Mm hm.

435
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: So Signetti doing something like when you when you evaluate

436
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:07,559
what Signetti's doing, like what stands out to you about

437
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,799
their their their product, their talent, their coaching staff. Their

438
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,400
roster was the seventy second most talented roster in college

439
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,599
football this last year per two four seven. That's that's

440
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,279
going against what a lot of people think is gonna

441
00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:23,640
win championships.

442
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 4: Your over year.

443
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: That's also why there's a strong argument that they're cheating.

444
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, what do you mean they're cheating? Oh? You

445
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,079
you think they're cheating?

446
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:36,759
Speaker 5: I don't.

447
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: I didn't say that. Okay, let me say that. I

448
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,400
say that, I'm saying I'm saying that's a conspiracy out there, Okay.

449
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,799
But to be to be honest with you, I think

450
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:48,440
when you look at the roster and you look at

451
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,160
how many guys that are starters, that are twenty three,

452
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,039
you know, twenty four years years old. Think dude, think

453
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,799
think about think about b y U and our rockster. Like,

454
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:01,319
a lot of guys are mature, they're married, they got kids,

455
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,359
and nobody's going out to the bars and to the

456
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,319
clubs and to parties. Like everybody's going home to their wives,

457
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,279
to their kids. They're doing homework, they're getting degrees, master degrees.

458
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,960
Hope that everybody's focused. They're they're they're really truly focused.

459
00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:20,480
And and I think that that's the model right now

460
00:24:20,839 --> 00:24:24,200
is getting guys that are that are older, that are mature,

461
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:29,319
that understand hindsight, because a lot of guys right now

462
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,759
they go from school to school to school to school

463
00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:34,559
trying to get the bag. Where you got guys like

464
00:24:35,319 --> 00:24:37,880
on the Indiana roster that that's a you know what,

465
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,759
if I stay here, stay put in the system that

466
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,039
I know that and and and the vision and the

467
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:48,240
mission that I see from the coach, I can get

468
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:51,680
something that's more long term, right which is a potential

469
00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:54,039
NFL opportunity. I can go to the school or that

470
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:59,279
school and increase you know, short term finances. But I

471
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:03,119
think hindsight, it is something that a lot of these

472
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,799
younger players, and I mean we just us as human beings,

473
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:11,960
like individually, we don't start to really look at hindsight

474
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:15,200
and decisions that we make long term until we get older.

475
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:18,119
And so for this roster that is twenty three and

476
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,480
twenty four year olds, they're seeing the hindsight right, they

477
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,640
are understanding like, hey, you know, this bar has been

478
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,039
here way before I was born. It's gonna be way,

479
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,960
it's gonna be here way after I die. And so

480
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,720
I only have this small little window on this small

481
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:38,880
opportunity to maximize my potential, my talent to get to

482
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,359
the next level. So I don't really care about that

483
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,400
now when you think about that eighteen year old that's

484
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,960
just coming out out of high school, I'm away from

485
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,039
mom orway from dad for the first time. I got

486
00:25:49,079 --> 00:25:51,440
these five girls, the tear ladies looking at me, the

487
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,079
crowd looking at me like I got millions of dollars

488
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,559
in my pocket, Like I'm not. I'm just looking at

489
00:25:56,599 --> 00:25:59,079
the right now. And so I think I think that's

490
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,200
really the biggest differ diference is getting guys on a

491
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:06,400
roster that's that's more mature, and I would say more

492
00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:10,279
mature on a professional level, because that's how a lot

493
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:12,720
of the NFL guys are right, like they have that

494
00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:16,599
maturity because they they they went through what they went

495
00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:18,799
through in college and their young years. They understand their

496
00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:21,839
mistakes and so now getting to the professional level, they're

497
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,880
able to take on the spotlight. They're able to to

498
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,000
to live life with millions of dollars in their pockets

499
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,079
and not make bone the head decisions. Now you're taking

500
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:32,839
those type of guys and they and now you're still

501
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,240
placing them in college. So I think I think that's

502
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:36,119
the biggest difference.

503
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:40,640

especially getting your situation gain as much way as you

00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,599
can until you can't move anymore. Like if that means

559
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,920
once you start losing speed at two seventy, then go

560
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,599

00:29:55,759 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 8: I don't know if he's two fifty. But look, guys,

577

we don't try to ever call problems, but we do

578
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,240
like to tell the truth, you know, honestly in our

579
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:05,640
dealings with our fellow men. You can go download the

580
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,640
interviews search Bear Bachmeyer. When we had him on, he's like,

581
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,720
I'm I'm about two thirty five, That's what he told me.

582
00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:15,079
And Ben so he is a he's somewheed between two

583
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:17,119
thirty five and two forty. I think maybe he lost

584
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,079
five pounds. But Ben He's definitely a thicker dude. Look,

585
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,480
I'm with you, eat more, get all the girth possible,

586
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:24,839
make people regret one of the decisions because it looked

587
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,599
last year. I know Smith's going to Michigan, but Smith

588
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,160
is also on Bear's highlight tape because Bear was dragging

589
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,200
him into the m zone.

590
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:37,759

657
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:04,680
the best fits in college football in the College Football

658
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:10,559
Transferportal coming in at number two per ESPN is Brendan Soresby.

659
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: To Texas Tech. From Cincinnati to Texas Tech.

660
00:34:12,519 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 2: This is what they had to say before I get

661
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,559
into all this news and notes coming out of Brigham

662
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,079
and the former Cougars in the pros.

663
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,559
Speaker 4: ESPN state Sorsby should.

664
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,599
Speaker 2: Be an upgrade over Baron more than in twenty twenty six,

665
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,719
and the Denton, Texas native has the luxury of adjoining

666
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,920
an offense that returns most of its proven skill players

667
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,239
next season. He has Big twelve experience and as a

668
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,000
dynamic tool threat skill set that Texas Tech's offensive line

669
00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:40,920
and offense lacked in twenty twenty five. Sorsby is well

670
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,480
versed in the Red Raiders spread elements, and he's effective

671
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:47,559
as a designated runner who creates with his legs when

672
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:51,639
plays break down. Soresby's ability to operate the run pass

673
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:57,239
option game efficiently will make Texas Tech harder to defend.

674
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 4: Ronald do you believe that.

675
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,559
Speaker 2: Brendan's Sowersby is the key to a locking or the

676
00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:08,519
key addition to get Texas Tech over the hump and

677
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,480
uh maybe win a game in the College Football Playoff

678
00:35:11,599 --> 00:35:12,199
next season?

679
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:15,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, I do believe. I don't know if he's gonna

680
00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:17,480
be that guy because of the record at Cincinnati, but

681
00:35:18,039 --> 00:35:20,000
and that's what this is winning. But when you look

682
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:21,960
at the defense been, when you add how dominant they

683
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,519
were and how they literally are rebuilding that line. They

684
00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:26,599
are like taking some of the top prospects from the

685
00:35:26,679 --> 00:35:29,400
ACC from Wick Forest, from Washington, they are rebuilding that

686
00:35:29,559 --> 00:35:31,559
entire defensive line. I don't know if he'll be like

687
00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:34,079
what it was last this past season, but it's gonna

688
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:36,199
be up there. When you look at his arm tile

689
00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:38,480
and ability being like BYU forced him to throw an

690
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,000
interception and he still made it close and he threw

691
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:43,719
for three hundred yards, So if that game is still

692
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,119
close to Texas Tech defensive line and they were on Cincinnati,

693
00:35:47,199 --> 00:35:49,400
I don't know if BYU wins that game, like that's tough.

694
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,119
So the record might not say it, but the eye

695
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:55,360
test and everything that I see, I think so I

696
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,000
definitely think that will. He's definitely gonna be able to

697
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:01,679
put them, maybe you over the hump for a game.

698
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,599
I mean, I think they'll win the Big Twelve title,

699
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,000
you know, regardless of if their defense is able to

700
00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:08,760
perform like they did this year. That's gonna be really

701
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,199
tough to compete with unless by Us the defensive line

702
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,800
is also the same. But Brendan Soresby, you know, he

703
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,199
he's a projected NFL pick for a reason. So yes,

704
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,239
I do believe based on everything I've seen and I

705
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,639
watched him and the way he ripped it up, the

706
00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:24,760
way he can use his legs when he needs to,

707
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,079
and they need somebody that's not going to make the

708
00:36:27,119 --> 00:36:29,639
mistakes that you know Baron Morton did, that's gonna be

709
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:32,320
as inaccurate. I think he is more accurate than that,

710
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,559
So we will see. But yeah, I think it's gonna

711
00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:36,679
be text Tech and by you're running it back next year.

712
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 2: I the one thing I'm grateful for is that we

713
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,519
don't have to face at least and.

714
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,159
Speaker 8: You don't have to face into the Big twelve.

715
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. I just want

716
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,199
to see him later on in the year.

717
00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 8: Maybe you can get him there. You know, maybe you

718
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,159
could disrupt in one game. It's easier to do that

719
00:36:54,199 --> 00:36:56,559
than having to play that team twice and what a

720
00:36:56,599 --> 00:36:58,000
three you know, a month span.

721
00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 4: I would say exactly, That's what I'm grateful for.

722
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:05,039
Speaker 2: And I was looking at the twenty twenty six schedule,

723
00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:07,960
check it out. It's not official on the dates, but

724
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:14,440
you got Utah Tech at home, You're at Colorado State away,

725
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,599
you're taking on U of A at home, Arizona State

726
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,320
at home, Baylor at home, Iowa State at home, Cincinnati

727
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,639
at home, you're at Kansas, You're at TCU, you're at UCF,

728
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,199
you're at Utah. And then you welcome Notre Dame to

729
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,519
Lavelle Edwards Stadium as well. So pretty nice home slate

730
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,079
for the Coogs. And but you got to take on

731
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:41,880
the Ute sav Rice Echos next season.

732
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 4: We'll see how it plays.

733
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 8: Look, I'm not trying to I'm not trying to have

734
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,480
hyperbole at all, but this is a schedule. What's what

735
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:50,320
they did this year? Man, And you think of the

736
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,920
production at the adding and we both have commented this

737
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:54,960
roster is on the verge of being better than the

738
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:57,280
last year's. Bear's gonna have a year in the system.

739
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,400
He's gonna have a full spring ball, of full off season.

740
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:01,239
He's going to be the guy. There's gonna be no

741
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,280
question the springball commentation, excuse me, the springball commentary, bin

742
00:38:05,679 --> 00:38:08,199
and the storyline will be who's the backup quarterback? That's

743
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,360
what it will be. Who's RB two? Because we know

744
00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:13,840
RB one and that will be. But for me, it's

745
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,239
very tough to see that this team not accomplished that. Like,

746
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,320
like you just mentioned all those games at home. Besides

747
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,639
going to rice Ecles, they go to UCF, which I

748
00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:23,719
think will be a better football team, but they'll still

749
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,239
win that one. You get all of those teams at home,

750
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,000
you get Baylor, Arizona, Arizona State needs to get some

751
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,239
get back of what happened down in Tempe. That team's

752
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,800
gonna remember that there's still a bunch of dudes on

753
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,280
this roster.

754
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: beIN.

755
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 8: You think of all of those games, and you think

756
00:38:34,519 --> 00:38:37,880
of Nordre Dame at home, beIN even if you did

757
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,039
lose one conference game, which I don't think they will.

758
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:42,440
If you beat Nordre Dam or you go undefeated and

759
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,639
you lose in the conference championship game. Not saying that

760
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,960
fans wanted to happen, that could happen, especially if Texas

761
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,599
Tech is the same as last year, if not better,

762
00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:52,239
then I think Ben that gives you enough of a

763
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,320
resume to get in. Like if your only loss comes

764
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,079
in the conference championship game, I don't see how undefeated

765
00:38:57,079 --> 00:38:59,880
team could not get in, especially if they're dominating. So

766
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:01,960
we'll see, you know, I'm excited to see what this

767
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,639
offseason looks like to go through it with you again.

768
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:07,480
Another one is going to be fantastic. But for me personally,

769
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:10,480
I think all the additions that they have in this

770
00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:13,079
favorable schedule in the games on the road aren't that bad.

771
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,039
I think that BOU is a shot to go un

772
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:16,719
defeated in league play because they were close to doing

773
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,159
it this year they only lost one game.

774
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: Let's stalk some Cougars in the pros if you could,

775
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,440
If we can, how about Elijah Bryant on the Hardwood

776
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:33,400
regular Season MVP twenty twenty five, twenty six year League

777
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,960
GM's mid season survey. Who's trending in that direction? Elijah

778
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:45,000
Bryant currently taking lead inside the ear League GM's mid

779
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:49,880
season survey. On this thread, we got some big statements.

780
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,320
Elijah Bryant has been getting buckets, ladies and gentle The

781
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:59,920
former BYU men's basketball star came from Elon, transferred to

782
00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:04,480
brig um balled out. He had his junior season. Remember

783
00:40:04,519 --> 00:40:06,880
he did not he did not come back for his

784
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,599
senior year. He took his talents to the professional ranks.

785
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,360
But he was one of the most efficient players in

786
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,920
college basketball that junior year. And I had made the

787
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,039
case at that time that if he had the same

788
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:24,039
similar volume to that of Jimber for Dead, if you

789
00:40:24,079 --> 00:40:26,519
gave him that opportunity, uh.

790
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,159
Speaker 4: He may have been able to have a Jimber for

791
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:29,320
Dead like season.

792
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 2: I thought, I felt like I really liked Elijah. Elijah

793
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,360
Bryant was something bolled. I know you didn't get eyes

794
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,039
on him. I don't think Ronald the three man Weaver,

795
00:40:39,159 --> 00:40:42,239
you were a young buck at the time I was, Uh, I.

796
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:45,199
Speaker 8: Was my first year been in college. Was yeah, when

797
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,800
he had the leading what is the BYU did that

798
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,239
overtime win against San Francisco when he hit like four

799
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,239
threes in like the last like two minutes. I was

800
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,840
there for that. I remember that stint of the WCC,

801
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,079
you know, as a young bucks. I remember watching him

802
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,360
as a fan play before I got into the media.

803
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,119
Did not get to see him that senior year. But

804
00:41:02,559 --> 00:41:04,320
I mean, yeah, man, you're talking about a guy that

805
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,519
you know, averaged what almost sixteen points per game, and

806
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:09,679
he shot over forty seven percent from the from the

807
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,599
floor and then thirty seven percent from three and then

808
00:41:11,639 --> 00:41:14,000
I of course eighty percent from the charity stripe. Like

809
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,639
this dude got thirty percent of the votes, you know, rightfully.

810
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,039
So so this dude has always been a baller, former

811
00:41:21,199 --> 00:41:24,360
NBA champion, I mean all WCC in twenty eighteen. So

812
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,599
it was a to watch him play, was man. I

813
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,079
just he was silky smooth, And yes, I believe if

814
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:32,079
he would have come back, and but you wanted to

815
00:41:32,159 --> 00:41:33,880
go pro, And I think that's maybe an example for

816
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,360
other people in your pro career. Calls go right away.

817
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,159
But then again, nil wasn't a thing then you have

818
00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:40,639
to think Ben if nil was a thing, maybe he

819
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,199
comes back if that were the case. But no, I

820
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:46,239
got to watch some some EB three as they say,

821
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,039
and look he was. He was a sniper from the

822
00:41:49,079 --> 00:41:51,760
three point on him, just Year Hardnett. I remember Jahyear

823
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,920
put a dude on skates. I remember those days, been

824
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,719
in the WCC. Would have loved to see him play

825
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,920
in the Big twelve, but he would have been too

826
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,280
much of a grown man at that point.

827
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to say he was hovering around fifty

828
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,239
to forty ninety.

829
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,639
Speaker 4: He was that final years.

830
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 2: Yes, he was forty nine point four percent from the field,

831
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,800
he was forty one point five percent from the three

832
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:16,639
point line, and then eighty five percent from the charity stripe.

833
00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:21,440
He he wasn't necessarily a volume shooter. He averaged eleven

834
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,679
point seven field goal attempts per game.

835
00:42:25,199 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 4: And now you.

836
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 2: Compare efficient good, yeah, very efficient right? Aj debonsa also

837
00:42:31,639 --> 00:42:35,159
a very efficient player, right like you look at what

838
00:42:35,159 --> 00:42:40,360
what AJ's doing this this season and very efficient player.

839
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,639
Speaker 4: Know if sans or butts about that.

840
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 2: This year AJ's at fifty eight percent from the field,

841
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,679
thirty two percent from the three point line, so not

842
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,960
nearly as good as a three point shooter and then

843
00:42:51,039 --> 00:42:54,239
seventy four seventy five percent from the charity stripe. And

844
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,000
then if you look at Jimmer for debt, I want

845
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,639
to say Jimmer, Jimmer was pretty clear to fifty forty ninety.

846
00:43:02,159 --> 00:43:07,239
I want to say maybe his senior year. Yeah, so

847
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:11,840
senior year forty five percent from the field. He was

848
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,679
thirty nine point six percent from the three point line

849
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,960
and an eighty nine point four percent from the charity stripe.

850
00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:24,599
And he averaged twenty point seven field goal attempts per game.

851
00:43:24,679 --> 00:43:29,119
So he was at twenty per game, a j currently

852
00:43:29,199 --> 00:43:34,320
averaging thirteen point four attempts, and then Elijah is at

853
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,519
eleven point seven. So, like I said, very efficient player.

854
00:43:37,599 --> 00:43:40,440
There's no you know, there's no surprise to me that

855
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,760
he's done so well, not only in the NBA but

856
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,440
also overseas. So shout out to Elijah Bryant.

857
00:43:46,679 --> 00:43:47,639
Speaker 4: That was our Oh I.

858
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 8: Want to give you this update too, because we're talking

859
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,119
about the number weird thing, the most attempts, because we've

860
00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:54,960
been talking about that. Oh yeah, most attempts. Elijah Everettsok

861
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,920
was his final game of his collegiate career at BAU

862
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,159
at Stanford that eighty six eighteen. That was a tough one.

863
00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:03,840
I remember that game. He dropped twenty eight points Ben

864
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,480
and he was eleven of twenty from the field, so

865
00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:08,599
that's the most he took in his last game, three

866
00:44:08,639 --> 00:44:11,800
of six from downtown. So yeah, this man was efficient

867
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,000
in thirty seven minutes.

868
00:44:13,039 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 2: There you go crazy though. He was three of eight

869
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:16,800
from the charity stripe that game.

870
00:44:17,159 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know you're not good. No, he struggled. The

871
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,840
environment got to him for sure.

872
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,599
Speaker 2: One percent ten rebounds that game to assist and uh yeah,

873
00:44:25,679 --> 00:44:29,280
great player for BYU, no doubt about it. Any football news,

874
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,039
and it's obviously we got Puka Nakua who's.

875
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,679
Speaker 4: Been balling out for the rams of What other news

876
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,360
or notes do we have coming out of the NFL

877
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:37,800
right now?

878
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, not maybe the specifically the NFL. This is more

879
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,519
you know, the bowlgames, but the Panini Senior Bowl twenty

880
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:48,320
twenty six Senior Bowl linebackers. Jack Kelly represented BYU. He

881
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,039
is on the American team that was announced eight hours ago.

882
00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:55,079
So Jack Kelly is a guy. Look and this was

883
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:56,400
you know a little bit of Saturday. They brought to

884
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,199
you by Banderwolf. Banderwelf dot Com had him on the

885
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,000
show earlier. This is jam Jordan by us. Jack Kelly

886
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,840
finished with the most QB pressures twenty nine of any

887
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,119
P four linebacker in America. That's the entire body. That's

888
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,079
sec big ten acc you think of that second most

889
00:45:12,119 --> 00:45:15,199
sacks amongst P four linebackers as well, and that was

890
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,519
because he was playing Injurbin, gutting it through. So you

891
00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:19,800
have to think, if this guy is healthy, he's got

892
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,000
to be you know, somewhere between that third or fifth

893
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:24,519
round pick. Whoever gets Jack Kelly, ben is going to

894
00:45:24,559 --> 00:45:27,760
have a steal because this guy is gonna be nice.

895
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,400
I think when he gets the NFL, it's all about

896
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,559
what you fall. Per John Beck, It's about where he falls.

897
00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:33,679
But if he falls into the right system, he would

898
00:45:33,679 --> 00:45:36,039
be great. So I'm going to bank on we probably

899
00:45:36,039 --> 00:45:38,280
won't get him, but I would hope for my Chicago

900
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,960
Bears to keep the playoff hopes going for the future

901
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,440
to draft a guy like Jack Kelly at the linebacker position.

902
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 4: Jack Kelly sack Kelly uh doing great things.

903
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,119
Speaker 2: And I think Jake Rehetzloff has also looked good at

904
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,159
Hula Bowl. Right at the Hula Bowl. Yeah, So Jake

905
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,760
keeping an eye on Jake Rietzloff. He's doing good things

906
00:45:57,639 --> 00:46:01,280

907
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,760

Speaker 4: Who to thunk? Nobody? No one predicted this, No one

00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,599
prognosticated this. Uh and uh.

923
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,119
Speaker 2: Maybe once upon a time Gurney did when Pooka was

924
00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:53,199
coming out of high school.

925
00:46:53,639 --> 00:46:55,280
Speaker 4: But I don't think anybody else.

926
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 2: Highest passer rating when targeted this season as well. Pooka

927
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:04,800
