them my hashtag outsider take.

54
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: Hey, I love all the insider knowledge you provide us

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,960
here at Cougar Sports. Let's start off with this, if like,

56
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:40,639
what percentage of healthy is this BYU football team heading

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,400
into Texas Tech. I've put it at like ninety five

58
00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:46,159
percent healthy. I think they're right there, ninety five percent

59
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,520
healthy from where they essentially started out on the season,

60
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,520
which I think bodes well for Brigham heading to Lubbock

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,319
with game day on the docket.

62
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think any college football team through nine

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,400
ten weeks of the regular season is going to be

64
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,080
one hundred percent healthy. I don't think do I use

65
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120
an exception to that role. That's not a bad thing.

66
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,719
I mean, that's just the nature of the sport, right.

67
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:11,680
I don't really know like full on percentage wise, but

68
00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:14,039
like if we're talking about like like I feel like

69
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,680
this team is probably three fourths as healthy as optimal

70
00:03:17,879 --> 00:03:20,800
or as as it could be. Like if one hundred

71
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,039
percent really is the matter the fact of the matter,

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,400
I think they're probably somewhere between like seventy and eighty percent.

73
00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:28,280
There are a lot of guys that are just dealing

74
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:30,919
with you know, the bumps of the bruises, the knicks,

75
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,800
kind of some minor injuries, fighting through stuff. I think

76
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,919
there's a lot of that going around. They're getting healthier,

77
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,039
which I think is a good thing. We heard from

78
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:43,800
offensive coordinator Aaron Roder yesterday say that Jojo Phillips is

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,080
on track to make his return on Texas Tech, which

80
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,599
I think is a big pickup in that wide receiver room.

81
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,159
But there are other guys obviously that there are significant

82
00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:53,840
questions about.

83
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 5: LJ.

84
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,199
Speaker 4: Martin doesn't seem to be one of them. I can't

85
00:03:56,199 --> 00:04:00,240
imagine he's fully healthy. Just after his usage. We saw

86
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,280
him come out of the game at Iowa State, obviously,

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,199
and just his usage rate tell me he's probably banged up.

88
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,120
He's probably a little bit nicked and bumped and bruised

89
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:11,680
and that sort of thing. But he's going to play.

90
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:13,680
He's more healthy than not. And I think most of

91
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:15,840
these guys, you're going to see them with some sort

92
00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:17,879
of an element, but they're you know, they're all at

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,120
least seventy seventy five percent, which is really all you

94
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,000
can ask for. On this season through again, through eight nine,

95
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:29,560
ten weeks of the usual college football play, absolutely.

96
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,519
Speaker 2: Sean storylines heading into this Texas Tech matchup. In your opinion,

97
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,959
what are the biggest storylines and why?

98
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:39,519
Speaker 5: Yeah?

99
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: I mean the number one thing is is this is

100
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:43,360
And I don't think this has hyperbole been You know

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,160
how much I love this week in hyperbole, which by

102
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,480
that I mean not at all. I hate hyperbole. But

103
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,879
I really think this might be the biggest game in

104
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:56,399
BA football program history. They've never gone into a game

105
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:58,319
where both teams are ranked in the top ten. It

106
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:02,279
just haven't had it just hasn't had and a Rod

107
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,240
again was really surprised by that because boys have a

108
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,639
lot of really good teams in the history of their program,

109
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:08,560
but a lot of those really good ones they were

110
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,040
competing in the Whack or the Mountain West, and the

111
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:14,079
opponent wasn't necessarily all the way up there. So this

112
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,839
is it's the lowest combined ranking of both teams and

113
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,759
one of the lowest in program history. I think that

114
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,199
Miami game from the nineties kind of comes to mind

115
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,519
as like being close, but that was still I mean,

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,839
that was a number one team and then a twenty

117
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,560
five ish team right in there. So when you're talking

118
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,560
about seven eight or eight nine, depending on which poll

119
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,399
you look at, I think just those numbers and posters

120
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:41,920
and everything say this is the biggest game in the

121
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,560
Cougar's history. And so you got to wonder to do

122
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,839
the Cougar's rise to the occasion of that, or does

123
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,879
Texas Tech maybe rise to the occasion of a program

124
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,399
building or the very least a season building win over

125
00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,000
a very good YU team at home with their first

126
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,360
ESPN College Game Day appearance seventeen years. I mean, I

127
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:04,279
think there are a lot of reasons to just point

128
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,519
to why this game is big. Oh and in addition,

129
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:08,560
by the way we saw last night from the CFP

130
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:14,360
Selection Committee first release, that this is probably a game

131
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:18,240
that will determine significant aspects of the college Football Playoff,

132
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,959
whether you're talking about overorld selection, whether you're talking about

133
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:24,399
potential host games in that first round. Like, I think

134
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:30,360
this game has conference title implications though that's obvious, It

135
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,160
has CFP applications, and it has just overall program implications

136
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,959
for about BYU and Texas Tech. So I don't feel

137
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,600
hyperbolic saying this is the biggest game in BA football history.

138
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:44,199
Speaker 1: That's a hot take, It's a fiery take.

139
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: I was having that discussion with a few people yesterday

140
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,959
in preparation for the weekend slate of games, and I'm like,

141
00:06:52,959 --> 00:06:56,199
man like, looking back at the past, BYU said some

142
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,959
big time games, right, and look, the next one's always

143
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,879
the most important.

144
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: That that's that's just the nature of the business.

145
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: Will we herald this as one of the biggest games

146
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:10,399
in BUA football history afterwards?

147
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: Is the question?

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: After this season, because I guess you could have made,

149
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:18,759
you know, certain arguments about you know, last year's season

150
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,279
and how big of a game it was to play

151
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Utah in the same conference. And but you know, right now,

152
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,160
with everything on the line, it feels or a lot

153
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,639
a lot of it on the line your maybe your

154
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,519
your path to the Big Twelve Championship and a birth

155
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:36,279
in the college football playoff.

156
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,839
Speaker 1: In the modern era. It's definitely the biggest game in

157
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:39,480
the modern era.

158
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: And I think and I think that's actually a really

159
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,319
big piece of why this game is so big, because

160
00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:49,040
it doesn't have that traditional rivalry type element to kind

161
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:51,199
of drum up how big this game is. Right Like

162
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,199
b y U and Texas Tech, there's not really like

163
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,079
a there are connections between both schools. You know, they're

164
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,399
both related programs of the late great Mike Leach. Forever

165
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,480
Rest in Peace right, And maybe we call this the

166
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:06,759
Mike Leach Bowl or the Mike Leach Classic Ethic or tieable.

167
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:09,600
Either way, I'll continue workshopping that one for you guys.

168
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,319
So I think there are connections with this program and

169
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,279
this is with these two programs, and there's something that

170
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:16,000
could maybe grow. But I want to call this a

171
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,680
rivalry by any means BYU and Texas Tech. I just

172
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:22,160
I just don't think it's there. Maybe it eventually gets there.

173
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,680
But it's not right now. I think it's got a

174
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,199
long way to go to become that. But I think

175
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:29,399
that makes this game even bigger because you don't have

176
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,639
that initial rivalry element, you don't have that initial hatred

177
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,360
between two fan bases. You you know, you've got a

178
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,759
healthy amount of respect between Kalona Sattacki and his staff

179
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,559
and Jery Maguire and what he's building in the West

180
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,639
Texas oil fields. Like that's that's obvious and that's there,

181
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,320
I think, but there's nothing like that the like super

182
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,720
seeded Sport or the supersedes Big twelve football kind of

183
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:53,559
propping this up. And yet that being said, there are

184
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,360
still all these implications for this season, for the conference,

185
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,159
for the CFP, for both programs that I think make

186
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,399
this game absolutely massive, regardless of where you would rank

187
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,840
it on a one, two, three typle list.

188
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: Sean WALKERKSHL dot com. Here on the USB and the fan,

189
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:11,720
what have you been writing about on your platform this

190
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,159
week and what are you going to be dropping on

191
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,240
your platform later on this week?

192
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's it's all CFP right now.

193
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 5: Right.

194
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:23,279
Speaker 4: College basketball season also started. Just got back from Las

195
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,000
Vegas with Aja Bonsa, Kevin Young and that crew after

196
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:32,600
their win over over Villanova to open the season. And guys,

197
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:35,039
let me tell you down there at Team Obile Arena

198
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:39,120
in Las Vegas, it was a show he at national media,

199
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:42,159
regional media, a lot of local media in particular from

200
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:45,399
two Big twelve schools in YU and Arizona. I mean

201
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,759
it was. It was an absolute showcase. And that's even

202
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,559
football tipped off for either one of those games, obviously

203
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,159
Arizona beating the ragning champs in Florida and then YUS

204
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,559
win over Villanova. Like as big as this football season

205
00:09:59,159 --> 00:10:01,240
has become, and I don't want to step on football's

206
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:03,720
toast too much, so we won't. We won't. We don't

207
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,159
necessarily need to go too far into it. But this

208
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:09,919
basketball season has the potential to really be something special.

209
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,399
I've been calling it the most anticipated basketball season in

210
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,120
BYU history, and everything I saw this weekend and leading

211
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,559
up to Monday night, even up to the game, really

212
00:10:21,639 --> 00:10:24,279
kind of confirms my suspicions. Like the amount of just

213
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,799
weight and anticipation for what Kevin Young and his group

214
00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,120
could do on the hardwood I think is pretty unique

215
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,240
and pretty special in BYU.

216
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:38,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, the basketball team showcased extremely well. I think throughout

217
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000
there was other times where it didn't a little bit

218
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:46,240
of maybe a rotational issue, maybe you know, a sense

219
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,399
of urgency. Maybe there was a little bit of a

220
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,519
cruise control element there. But when it counted at the

221
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,279
end of the game, they pulled away and really were

222
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,840
aggressive defense. Really have you seen? I mean this, The

223
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,320
defense to me may have been the most impressive, like

224
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:04,679
when when they had to win possessions, when they had

225
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,080
to win on the defensive end, I think watching them

226
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:13,159
fight through screens like just elusively and physically was maybe

227
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,799
the most impressive thing of the night. Including Keba Kata

228
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:18,960
right keby Cata was uh with the was the bee's knees.

229
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,519
He was uh just the best thing I watched all

230
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,480
freaking night. He was dominant, He was amazing. He was

231
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,960
if Blake Griffin and and uh, who was it who

232
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:38,080
was I talking about here with Ben Wallace? Blake Griffin

233
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,679
and Ben Wallace had a baby. That's what That's what

234
00:11:40,759 --> 00:11:42,000
you'd get is Cabacada.

235
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got a little bit of h he's got

236
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:46,759
a little bit of Kim and Mudumbo and him and

237
00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:49,600
I'm not just talking about when he swatted a ball

238
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,039
into about the seventh or eighth row at T Mobile Arena.

239
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: I mean it was.

240
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: It was absolutely incredible. Eight point seven rebounds, three blocks, Uh,

241
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,399
I mean it's and then I don't even think the

242
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:04,159
stats necessarily come close to describing what Kvakata was able

243
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240
to do. Ajda Bonsa was definitely impressed. He said he's

244
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,840
never played with somebody quite like Kiva Ketta for all

245
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,240
of the for all of the talk, and I think

246
00:12:12,279 --> 00:12:14,559
most people sort of paid that price of admission in

247
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,960
Las Vegas to see Ajda Bonsa, to see Robert at

248
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,919
the third, to see what this BOAU team can do.

249
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,879
Kba Kaida absolutely stole the show. I struggle to remember

250
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:25,039
a time I don't know if it's ever happened or

251
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:27,240
a BA basketball team has had the length and the

252
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:30,440
athleticism at one time to be able to put on

253
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,600
the court as what this BYU team has. And it

254
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,679
translates defensively, and I think Kiva Kada is absolutely absolutely

255
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,559
the start. He's got this pit bull mentality that I

256
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,399
think you really need with these thoroughbreds that BYU has

257
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,840
been bringing in through recruiting and the transfer portal and

258
00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:49,600
everything else. He might be just as important to the

259
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:52,639
state of this team as you know, the former number

260
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:56,360
one overhall recruit in the country, future NBA draft lottery pick,

261
00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:59,120
and someone like the Bonsa or arguably the best point

262
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,360
guard in the Big twelve or maybe even national, one

263
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,240
of the best nationally. And Robert at the third Like

264
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,960
I've been given a lot of praise with those guys.

265
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,279
Will and by the way, Latcher's leading scorer Richie Saunders

266
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,720
in there. Uh, ky Rik Kada made a statement like

267
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:13,519
he is going to be a factor and he is

268
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:20,320
going to matter this by basketball season, Sean, Can I

269
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,720
turn the tables on you and maybe pivoted back to

270
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,559
football a little bit because I asked this question of

271
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,960
partner kingson yesterday. I want to get your take on it.

272
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,840
Then let's go, uh what what uh? If you're pulling

273
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:35,120
Cava Kba Keda over to the football field, what position

274
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,279
are you putting him in? Because I think the obvious

275
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,200
answer partner here this one is probably tight end. But

276
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:42,600
I feel like you might want him on the defensive side.

277
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a d end. I mean he can catch,

278
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,679
I mean at me as he can high point. You know,

279
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,360
he's okay. But I wouldn't say.

280
00:13:51,919 --> 00:13:57,519
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say he's a refined catcher of the pig

281
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,600
skin or for that matter, the basketball like I think.

282
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's good at lobs.

283
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 2: He can e can elevate there, he's good at lobbs,

284
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:08,360
so you can you can maybe hide. Yeah, you could

285
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,799
have him as a field goal blocker, just pat and

286
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,639
field goal blocker, just elevate and just try to swat

287
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,600
the crap out of the football is it's it's being

288
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,279
kicked through the uprights. So those would be the three

289
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,039
things I mean, I would say you probably want to

290
00:14:23,039 --> 00:14:24,799
put him up, get him up to like two sixty

291
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:29,039
and put him at a defensive end, or you can

292
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,000
just have him as a red zone pret uh uh

293
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,039
at tight end similar way.

294
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,039
Speaker 1: It's what I've been saying this.

295
00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: For over two decades now, Like you should have a

296
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:40,759
specialist like Caleb B.

297
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:41,039
Speaker 1: Looner.

298
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: Look at what youah did last year with Caleb Loner,

299
00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:46,399
look at what they did. Like he that's exactly who

300
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:48,679
he was. A field goal blocker. He was a red

301
00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:54,480
zone threat, jump ball specialist. That's what you do, and

302
00:14:55,159 --> 00:14:57,559
that's the that's that's what you do if you have

303
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,919
a basketball player, period like, you can't.

304
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: Put on the defensive side of the ball. Really, you

305
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:02,879
really can't.

306
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,279
Speaker 2: If it was like a Ziggiansa situation where we had

307
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,399
for four years, yeah put him at d end. But

308
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,000
otherwise you have a one year opportunity. It's all specialists.

309
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I mean a lot of guys have made

310
00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:20,279
long standing NFL careers after being out of being just

311
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,159
special team specialist. I'm thinking of guys like former Southern

312
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:26,320
Utah standout Miles Killerber, who is still in the league

313
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,639
a decade later as an a whole pro special teams guy.

314
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:31,519
So I actually I'd like that shot. I really like

315
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:31,960
that show.

316
00:15:32,559 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, Sean is we look at at BYU athletics

317
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,080
as a whole very healthy right now. Obviously football and

318
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,240
basketball in the top ten in their respective rankings and polls,

319
00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:47,440
but women soccer just.

320
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Got a big win. I know you're a big fan.

321
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,519
Speaker 2: We had Elie Wahlbrook on the show yesterday, was a

322
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:57,240
fantastic interview. Is this the healthiest that BYU's athletic department

323
00:15:57,279 --> 00:16:02,360
has been not only monetarily but also collectively as a

324
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,559
sporting entity, Is you know, a competitive sporting entity within

325
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,159
a conference?

326
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:10,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think it's up there. The buy

327
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:16,120
in right now in YU athletics from multiple angles, I

328
00:16:16,159 --> 00:16:20,080
think is really driving a potential golden age uh in

329
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,000
in b YU. And it's not just football, it's not

330
00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:25,039
just basketball. Those are obviously the temple sports. Uh, they're

331
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,200
important and then they're setting out to kind of what

332
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,200
they are. But uh, but you're seeing what Jen Rockwood

333
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,240
continues to do with one the soccer program. You're seeing

334
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,559
what both Olmstead's the olmsty uh, both Heather and her

335
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:38,159
brother Seawann are doing with the men's and the women's

336
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,159
volley or the womenes and the men's volleyball teams respectively.

337
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 6: Uh.

338
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 4: You obviously at Eyestone and the goat delG Taylor with

339
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:47,320
cross country women's cross country just one of their third

340
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,240
straight Big twelve championship.

341
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 5: Like there is there.

342
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,039
Speaker 4: Is a men's buy in right now in YU athletics,

343
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,039
and it starts really up at the very top. Like

344
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,000
I give a ton of credit to university President Shane Reese,

345
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,759
he's all in on BA athletics and what they can be,

346
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:05,599
what they can provide for the university. And then also

347
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,599
Keith working, the academic vice president who's in charge who's

348
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,279
kind of over athletics and advancement and that sort of thing,

349
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:16,000
Like there is an all in nature to those two

350
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,759
in particular, and a lot of university leadership that I

351
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,759
think is something special. It's something that I don't know

352
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:25,359
if BYU's ever really had, but it's something that they

353
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,640
need if they you know, they they figured out a

354
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,359
way to get a see that the quote unquote big

355
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,680
boy table or close to it at least in the

356
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,240
Big twelve, and now they're trying to just take advantage

357
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,759
by by showing like, Okay, you know, the mindset I

358
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:42,240
think is we're here, We're there, now what can we

359
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:45,519
do to stay there and to potentially dominate on that level?

360
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:47,960
And I think us really taken all of that to

361
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,440
heart from the top down.

362
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: I love it.

363
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: Sean Walker, Ladies and gentlemen, Sean great segment is always

364
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,119
can't wait to see what BYU football can do versus

365
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,000
Tech on the road.

366
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,759
Speaker 1: Do you get a score prediction? How does this game

367
00:18:01,759 --> 00:18:02,079
play on?

368
00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, I mean Tech is I think they areund

369
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:09,440
nine and a half point favorite. The last night check

370
00:18:09,839 --> 00:18:11,480
that number might have gone a little bit up or

371
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,480
a little bit down. And I tell you what, man,

372
00:18:13,519 --> 00:18:15,839
that feels like a lot. You know, I love spreads,

373
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:18,559
but that feels like a lot of points. I don't

374
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:20,119
know I why he goes in a lot of compulse

375
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,480
out the win, but I think this is a game

376
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:25,880
that should be decided in the final moment, single possession

377
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,160
type of game like this is this is going to be.

378
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:31,319
It's a battle again. It's battle between the number seven

379
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:33,200
and number eight or number eight and our nine team

380
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,079
in the country, depend on which pool you prefer, and

381
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,640
I think it's going to play out that way as

382
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,920
a battle of two top ten teams that are just

383
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,960
wayser thin than neck and neck in both the conference

384
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,440

385
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:49,160

424
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,480
A little bit surprising for some seeing Utah jump so

425
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,079
so aggressively up. The committee likes the Big Twelve to

426
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,839

00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: Man?

447
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 8: I'm doing great.

448
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 9: I wasn't expecting to be like a leading national story

449
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,680
here over the past two days about this alcohol sales thing,

450
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:31,039
especially in this market. But you know, right before I

451
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,359
picked up the phone to take your call, like I

452
00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:35,839
just took a break from like filing eighty more of

453
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,480
these requests to try to go get updated data because man,

454
00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:40,039
people cannot get enough of this stuff.

455
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: Why is it that we're infatuated with alcoholic consumption? Alcohol consumption?

456
00:21:46,559 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 8: That I don't know?

457
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 9: But did I tell you what I heard about from

458
00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:50,960
BYU about all this?

459
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:51,759
Speaker 1: No?

460
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 9: No, So for those who hadn't read the story, like

461
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,000
I've a couple of weeks ago, I filed like three

462
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,279
or four dozen requests across the country to get an

463
00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:07,559
idea for how much how many units of alcoholic beverages

464
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,759
were sold at football games? And how much revenue was generated.

465
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:12,920
You know, I cover business and sports for a living,

466
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,599
and I wasn't so much interested in trying to rank

467
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,799
who the drunkest programs were, but to get a sense

468
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:20,599
of what kind of revenue can be produced from this

469
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,559
sort of thing. I'm in the process of doing this

470
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:30,119
now nationally across SBS and SCS schools everywhere, and naturally,

471
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:33,400
you know, ulias and sell booths in their stadium.

472
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,519
Speaker 5: They're not a public school, so.

473
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 8: I can't foiler them. The number one school.

474
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 9: Was Nebraska, which over just three home games, generated over

475
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,400
two million dollars worth of alcohol sold just within the stadium.

476
00:22:46,519 --> 00:22:51,920
The drinking culture in the Great Plains and the Great Lakes,

477
00:22:53,759 --> 00:22:57,880
I think overwhelmingly Trump's that even in the South. The

478
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,799
joke that we had growing up and spending time it

479
00:22:59,839 --> 00:23:02,599
was is that wisconstant such a beer loving state that

480
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,559
like Mormons use oduels to the sacrament there, Like it's just.

481
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 8: A completely part of the culture everywhere.

482
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,279
Speaker 5: But I was kind of curious. I'm like, obviously you

483
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:14,079
can't get booze at l Ees.

484
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,319
Speaker 8: But everyone knows that.

485
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 9: Our brothers and sisters here in this market love sugary

486
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,680
beverages are people downing pop at the same level as

487
00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:26,720
our Nebraska and wisconsint friends are downing beer. And so

488
00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:28,599
I texted a couple of people in the athletic department.

489
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,000
I'm like, I know, you can't tell me the amount

490
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,160
of money. I'm not asking you to doug old your

491
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,039
financial secrets, but can you ballpark this for me?

492
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,319
Speaker 5: And the answer kind of surprised me. You know, basically,

493
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:40,000
this year, between.

494
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 9: The refillable cups and the bottled soda and the chocolate milk,

495
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,960
we're looking at under eighteen thousand units sold per football game,

496
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:51,680
which is far less than the amount of alcohol at

497
00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:54,720
like a typical Big ten or Big twelve institutions.

498
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 8: So I say this with love, not to make fun.

499
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:02,039
Speaker 5: Of, but based on that information, I think the LDS.

500
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:05,799
Speaker 9: Love of thrift is chumping the LDS love of of.

501
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 5: Of sugar soda. I think.

502
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 9: I think, I think you've got some brothers and sisters

503
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,680
here who are getting one cup and just kind of

504
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,319
passing it along man, like a like a Eucharris mug.

505
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 2: Just sharing it. Just uh, maybe there's multiple thraws. Maybe

506
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,240
there's multiple straws in the beverage.

507
00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, look all I'm saying, flks listening to this is

508
00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:31,039
if you want to buy an offensive line that's going

509
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,720
to get you into the into the college football.

510
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 5: Playoff every year.

511
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,279
Speaker 9: If you want to go get some more skill position players,

512
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,559
stop being so cheap and go buy yourself.

513
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 8: Your own diet coke when you go to a game.

514
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 5: Don't share it with your wife or your neighbor.

515
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've ideated.

516
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: You and I have ideated about like these, like co

517
00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:53,359
branding NIL opportunities, like creating products that are utilized consistently

518
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:56,680
toilet paper, and then rebranding it as like an ni

519
00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,440
L almost like white labeling things for NIL.

520
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 9: Oh sure, maybe not toilet paper, but very much white labeling.

521
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, we could call it cougartail. Don't remember

522
00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:10,960
we're talking about we get cougartail tail toilet paper. Right.

523
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just said all I'm saying. I say,

524
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,119
you're buying it. It's like the it's the Amway model.

525
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,119
You're already buying it.

526
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 2: You buy toothpaste, you buy toilet paper, or buy paper towel.

527
00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:24,319
Speaker 8: Crittle, crittle.

528
00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:26,599
Speaker 9: I live in I don't live in Utah, So the

529
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,720
Amway model doesn't work for me like that.

530
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,799
Speaker 8: That's your language.

531
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,319
Speaker 1: I'm just saying.

532
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:34,599
Speaker 2: It's it's outside the box thinking in the modern era

533
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,519
of cold it is it is.

534
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 9: It is that I'm aware of a few white labeled

535
00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:41,920
uh you know products that b YU does and a

536
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,440
couple other schools do in this market.

537
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 5: And you're right, we have talked about it.

538
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 9: I I I, for one, absolutely think the school should

539
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:49,400
do an apple beer.

540
00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:50,039
Speaker 6: I would.

541
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 5: I would buy it.

542
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 8: I would buy it.

543
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 5: I would, I would, I.

544
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,839
Speaker 9: Would do a review of me drinking it on Instagram,

545
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,720
like I've done with other licensed beverages.

546
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: I think that would do well. Everyone and everyone I

547
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,599
want across the country already knows how good.

548
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 8: The chocolate milk is.

549
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:10,079
Speaker 9: The the nil beverage world like that generates seven figures

550
00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,160
of revenue over the course of the year. There's a

551
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,440
lot of people in my part of the country who

552
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,359
are are drinking nine dollars nil beers at these games,

553
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,240
and that money gets shuffled along.

554
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 5: You know, not not just to pay for the extra.

555
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 9: Cops and the insurance policies for selling that much alcohol,

556
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,519
but it goes to new linebackers. The modern problems require

557
00:26:29,559 --> 00:26:33,680
modern solutions. This is what Nebraska's doing I will be

558
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,400
anxious to hear what that looks like here in this

559
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,960
neck of the woods.

560
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 2: Matt Brown College Football in Saturny Tymes of college football

561
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,200
here on esp of the Fan. You guys got to

562
00:26:42,279 --> 00:26:44,799
check out extra points mb dot com. When he does

563
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:51,240
into many unique and singular topics that are just you know,

564
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:53,480
like the most recent one, I don't even know how

565
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,519
to describe it, the utilization and the consumption of alcohol

566
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,599
at respective stadiums and who's winning.

567
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: The alcohol race. I'm like, this is insane. What has

568
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,000
the reaction been?

569
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: And give me the ratings real quick, the rankings like

570
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,839
one through ten of the most you know, the most

571
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:12,720
consumers and the least consumers.

572
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 9: So the way that I wanted to do this was

573
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,559
to track data not just in terms of like total

574
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,400
unit sales, but also break it down on like a

575
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:24,519
on a per capita basis, right, because if you know,

576
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:26,960
if your stadium only seats thirty thousand people, but everyone's

577
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,200
pounding two and a half during the game, like, you know,

578
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,319
that numbers should look different than if you're if you're

579
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,319
at a one hundred.

580
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 8: Thousand seat stadium near the top.

581
00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 9: Based on the data that I got so far, Nebraska's

582
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:43,200
number one Tennessee is in this conversation Kentucky, West Virginia, Minnesota,

583
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,599
and Michigan. Last year, I think it would have been Wisconsin.

584
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,839
Speaker 8: Initially I thought it.

585
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 9: Was Wisconsin, and then I realized that the school sent

586
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,480
me the wrong the wrong data. The attendance at UW

587
00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,440
Badgers games this year has been so bad that even

588
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:00,319
though Wisconsin I do love there, they're fermented beverages, it's

589
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,839
not enough to put them in the top ten in

590
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,240
the G five world. Ohio and North Texas are near

591
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:09,599
the top, A bunch of MAX schools and like UMass

592
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,720
are closer to the bottom.

593
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 8: But we'll see.

594
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 5: Like I haven't gotten data from Utah.

595
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,279
Speaker 9: Haven't gotten data from from very many institutions within the

596
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:20,359
inter Mountain West, despite me asking, we're asking again, and

597
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,519
I'm also trying to get this information this time, which

598
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:25,720
I had not been collecting for hot.

599
00:28:25,519 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 5: Dogs, because I don't know. Not everybody sells beer, everybody

600
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,000
sells hot dogs.

601
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 8: I don't know if if.

602
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 9: More people consume hot dogs in the in the Upper

603
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,559
Midwest versus elsewhere in the country. That's like the only

604
00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:41,319
food I can think of. It's going to be at

605
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:43,559
every single stadium like that and popcorn?

606
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 5: But like who cares about popcorn? So we'll see what

607
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:46,799
We'll see what.

608
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 8: Comes back.

609
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,039
Speaker 1: Matt Brown extra points MB.

610
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,039
Speaker 2: What other topics have you been delving into on your

611
00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:56,720
platform that we can feature. I don't know if you've

612
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:01,079
written anything about the College Football Playoff Committee these rankings,

613
00:29:01,599 --> 00:29:04,200
their initial rankings and ratings if you.

614
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 5: Will, But uh, what do you what do you guys

615
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:07,599
think about that?

616
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 4: Right?

617
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,559
Speaker 9: Like your v y us what seven and you've got

618
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,240
a couple of a couple of Big twelve institutions in

619
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:17,319
the top fifteen? Is there concern in this market that

620
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:18,519
that number is too low?

621
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 8: What do you guys think? Before I tell you what

622
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,000
my initial reaction was, I.

623
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,839
Speaker 2: Think what's interesting to me is this. There's it's there's

624
00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:33,599
two aspects of this. As an undefeated power for team, right,

625
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,279
the only undefeated team in the conference. There's a part

626
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:41,640
of me that says, look like they should be ranked

627
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,400
higher if if there was a like an undefeated team

628
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,640
like Miami, Like let's say Miami, if Miami's undefeated in

629
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:51,759
the ACC, they're ranked higher than seven.

630
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: In my opinion that that that's my opinion, right, and

631
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:56,440
notre Dame.

632
00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: Obviously if they're as an independent as a part of

633
00:29:59,759 --> 00:30:02,799
the ACC kind of like an unofficial member of the

634
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:07,599
they're they're probably top three, being undefeated right now. And

635
00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:10,279
people say strength of schedule, strength of record, all those things,

636
00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:12,920
and I'm like, okay, Like there's a part of me

637
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,759
that says that the Big twelve is still fighting a

638
00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:19,480
PR battle. But for whatever reason, the analytics, the the

639
00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:25,559
numbers game, the number nerds, and the Human Committee love Utah.

640
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,599
Speaker 1: They love Utah, and they they push them up for spots.

641
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,119
Speaker 2: And there's three teams you could argue you have a

642
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,680
chance to make the College Football Playoff from the Big twelve.

643
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:39,559
So I gotta go back and forth with this. There's

644
00:30:39,599 --> 00:30:41,319
a there's an element that I'm like, ah, there's still

645
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,000
doubting them. Uh, you know, some branding issues with the

646
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,960
Big Twelve. It's not as powerful as obviously the Big

647
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,480
Ten and the SEC, and it competes with the ACC.

648
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,000
Right they they may be on the same playing field

649
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,799
from a PR standpoint, But then I see the Committee

650
00:30:58,119 --> 00:30:59,720
elevate Utah.

651
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:01,519
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a little bit of bull up

652
00:31:01,519 --> 00:31:01,960
in me here.

653
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,599
Speaker 9: I have to admit, like it's hard for me to

654
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,000
muster really passionate opinions about any of the rankings below,

655
00:31:10,119 --> 00:31:13,480
like sixteen, just because I don't really think there's a

656
00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:16,920
huge difference between a team that's ranked seventeenth and twenty

657
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,519
fifth or even thirtieth. The thing that I'm sure is

658
00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:25,400
frustrating to hear here, like I'm not surprised that BYU

659
00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:28,200
is not getting this. It's not perceived as a peer

660
00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:31,640
right now, to say Texas A and M or perceived

661
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,759
as a peer to Oregon or Georgia or Indiana or anything.

662
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,359
And I have to admit, like, I didn't even really

663
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:40,279
pay that much attention to this team over the first

664
00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:42,519
month of the season, partly because a lot of their

665
00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:43,799
games will played after my bedtime.

666
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,279
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I love you.

667
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 9: I'm not staying up till eleven thirty at night to

668
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,960
go watch you guys play Stanford unless I'm.

669
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 5: Being specifically paid to do it. But are a different

670
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:54,839
year maybe.

671
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 9: But now you know, I thought I thought I was

672
00:31:58,279 --> 00:32:01,440
really impressed with the BAU team I saw against Utah.

673
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 5: I've been impressed with the with the team that I've seen.

674
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,519
Speaker 9: After that fact, but I don't think a lot of

675
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:07,640
people in that room have been paying that much attention,

676
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,559
and when the best win that that the team has

677
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,759
is Utah, I think that might be the only team

678
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:17,200
that might be around the top thirty top thirty five.

679
00:32:18,039 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 5: I get it, which makes this particular week you know,

680
00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:22,519
you know.

681
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:25,279
Speaker 8: Game super super important and interesting.

682
00:32:25,519 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 9: I imagine even if they lose, but if they're physically competitive,

683
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,400
they still have a great chance to get in depending

684
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,359
on how the ball bounces. That there could certainly be

685
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,319
two teams in the Big twelve that they get a

686
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:41,880
playoff spot. But you're right, there are some reputational of

687
00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:45,359
some earned some unearned issues with the Big Twelve. Now

688
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,079
I'll be interested to know or to see in a

689
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:49,400
couple of years if that changes.

690
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 5: How Bay you approach us out of conference scheduling.

691
00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:53,839
Speaker 2: This is the thing b Yu and Texas Tech are

692
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,000
new money and no one in legacy money, generational money

693
00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:04,839
in these sandemic you know, financial you know Oligopoly's cabals

694
00:33:05,079 --> 00:33:06,240
of the world.

695
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,599
Speaker 1: Likes new money, Matt, you.

696
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: Know it by us, new money at Texas Tech is

697
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,559
new money at least Utah. The reason why Utah jumped

698
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:18,839
up is because they have some equity over the last

699
00:33:19,359 --> 00:33:21,640
thirteen to fourteen years of being in the PAC twelve

700
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,599
and being a co champion in the PAC twelve and

701
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,759
going to multiple roles balls and that's why they they

702
00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:31,160
move up and they've been pretty hot in the metrics.

703
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,759
That's my thought on it. Uh, would you say there's

704
00:33:33,759 --> 00:33:35,079
some validity to that theory.

705
00:33:36,119 --> 00:33:37,599
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's possible.

706
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 9: That it's funny you used to phrase new money and

707
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,839
a new money is Texas Tech makes a lot of

708
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,480
sense because the most interesting thing about that team is money.

709
00:33:48,039 --> 00:33:50,319
Speaker 5: Given that they have not been shy about.

710
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:52,799
Speaker 9: Saying, yeah, we have a payroll in you know, north

711
00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:57,480
of twenty five million dollars, we've been unashamed about how

712
00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:00,880
we're fundraising. And that's a roster that is you know,

713
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,319
this year was injected with a lot of really high

714
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,279
profile help transfer talent from other Power programs or programs

715
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:11,119
that are guys that every Power team wanted. And you

716
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:12,920
can look at this as like, this is a team

717
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,559
that was constructed with big budget money, like not this

718
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:18,480
similar from how Oregon has been built.

719
00:34:18,519 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 5: And I say that not pejoratively. I don't think that

720
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,199
that's really accurate about this BYU roster.

721
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,079
Speaker 9: And I think one of the things that is kind

722
00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:30,079
of breaking the brain of some national analysts like me,

723
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:33,039
and I know some of my peers because we all

724
00:34:33,039 --> 00:34:35,400
have group chats we talk about this is.

725
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 5: That what BYU and what Indiana.

726
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 9: Are doing doesn't follow the traditional playbook for what it

727
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,840
means to be a national.

728
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 8: Championship contending team.

729
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 9: Where you didn't come in and spend big money on

730
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,719
highly productive, coveted transfers. You're not really bringing in that

731
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,239
much elite high school talent. You're nowhere near the blue

732
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,920
chip ratio with how your roster is constructed.

733
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,159
Speaker 8: You're just winning lots of games.

734
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 9: Like even Indiana which has been aggressive in the transfer

735
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,920
portal and has a brash coach.

736
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 5: And the programs spent a lot of money.

737
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,039
Speaker 9: Those are most of three star guys and people are

738
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:12,719
just being coached up and developed at.

739
00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:13,599
Speaker 8: An insane level.

740
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 5: And you can win that way.

741
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 9: But that isn't really what we've seen from elite teams

742
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,079
really since like twenty.

743
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:23,599
Speaker 5: Ten, you know, since this current era you know, continued.

744
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 8: I don't know how sustainable.

745
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 9: That is the answer might be, it might be sustainable

746
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,119
enough to win a national championship. The answer also could

747
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:33,960
be for everything that we've talked about all year, about

748
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,159
how the nil ear has.

749
00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 8: Brought more parody.

750
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 9: This could still end with an Ohio State Alabama national

751
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,639
championship game, or not Ohio State Georgia or something.

752
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 5: I don't.

753
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 8: I don't know, I don't. I don't begrudge.

754
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 9: Anybody that is is not a full fledged believer in

755
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:56,599
BYU now. But this come this Saturday, like either had

756
00:35:56,599 --> 00:35:58,719
the data or romot it, it will be kind of undeniable

757
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,719
either way, I think.

758
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: Look, I get that.

759
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, the the end result will maybe be

760
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:12,199
the end result. The the the prestigious programs of college

761
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,719
football historically may win out at the end of the day.

762
00:36:16,159 --> 00:36:20,480
But you gotta have Cinderella's There's gotta be hope.

763
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: There's always got to be a prayer.

764
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 2: As g Man always likes to say, Brandon Gurney biggest

765
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,719
fan of John bon Jovi, living on a prayer.

766
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,159
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's all you need, just living on a prayer.

767
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,639
Speaker 2: You gotta have hope, Matt, and this expanded college football

768
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:36,360
playoff and the new money gives hope for the little

769
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,400
man that's been stiff armed for so long and has

770
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,119
not been allowed to cheat.

771
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: When others were cheating.

772
00:36:42,199 --> 00:36:45,119
Speaker 2: As you know, everyone was paying everyone with bag men

773
00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:48,000
in that.

774
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:49,199
Speaker 5: They were just bad at it.

775
00:36:49,639 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 9: There's no point in cheating at your poor and some

776
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,800
little guys are doing it is It is funny though, as.

777
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: Said, you was doing it the right way. They just

778
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,360
were surrounded by a bunch of that wanted to give

779
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,519
him the deathly. You can't do that, sm used new money.

780
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,840
They could bondly do it.

781
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 9: SMU literally had the governor of Texas involved and it

782
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,079
became like a huge political liability. I think I think

783
00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:18,199
if Governor Cox is secretly siphoning money to Utah or

784
00:37:18,199 --> 00:37:19,760
b YU, that would.

785
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:21,159
Speaker 5: Probably be a problem.

786
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 9: But I will say, I think you do raise an

787
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,679
interesting point, and I don't have a good reason, our explanation.

788
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 8: For why this is.

789
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 9: In America, most people tend to really love the.

790
00:37:32,679 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 8: Idea of a basketball Cinderella.

791
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 5: They love the Sister Jean plucky.

792
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 9: Catholic school in Chicago's far North Side with a bunch

793
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,119
of parochial kids and two stars making final force. They

794
00:37:44,119 --> 00:37:46,679
love Saint Peter's, they love VCU and Dayton and these

795
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:51,519
other things. And in football, they freaking hate it unless

796
00:37:51,559 --> 00:37:53,519
you're in metropolitan Salt Lake.

797
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,280
Speaker 8: City or Boise.

798
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 9: The the idea of somebody that that that doesn't have

799
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:04,360
sixty five NFL prospects on the roster is viewed as

800
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:08,440
like some kind of moral affront to sec.

801
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 5: Ors or some Big ten analysts. And I'm not entirely

802
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,159
sure why that is. I don't you don't.

803
00:38:12,199 --> 00:38:15,159
Speaker 9: You don't tend to see as much sneering on the

804
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,280
unwashed masters from college basketball analysts that went to Duke

805
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,519
or North Carolina the same way you do for football.

806
00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:24,559

anywhere else, whether that's about FCS conference realignment, whether that's

813
00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:48,079
about data informed reporting on the money going in and

814
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:52,199
out of college athletics, or legal analysis or political analysis

815

822
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:15,519
your commissioner is reading, what your congressman is reading? Well,

823
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,599
and you talk maybe not your congressman but in.

824
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 5: Another other states which your congressman is reading, you should

825
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,480

had to tick off for the rest of today dealing

850
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,440
with the personal matter that he is attending.

851
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,039
Speaker 6: To Wish him the best, Brett.

852
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 10: We're gonna get into some Cougar bytes finish up the

853
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,360
rest of the A Rod sound. We just got off

854
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,880
the line with Matt Brown. Appreciated Matt joining us. I

855
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,000
thought that was pretty funny. How much booze is being

856
00:40:38,039 --> 00:40:41,039
sold in college football. Nothing I would ever pay attention to,

857
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:43,960
but I think it's something that you should obviously the

858
00:40:44,199 --> 00:40:48,039
adult beverages people like I think the most important thing

859
00:40:48,159 --> 00:40:50,400
is the BYU Texas Tech game that they talked about

860
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,320
of BAU makes it competitive even if they lose, I think.

861
00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:55,599
Speaker 6: The committee won't drop them below Utah.

862
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,079
Speaker 10: I honestly believe that even if I believe Utah blows

863
00:40:58,079 --> 00:41:00,760
out Baylor and BYU loses an close ball game, I

864
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,079
don't think you Tah will overtake them based off how

865
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:05,239
they ranked it. But I wanted to get your thoughts

866
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,119
if BYU gets blown out by Texas Tech, not only

867
00:41:08,159 --> 00:41:09,800
do I and I talked about this as bread Day

868
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,559
in the second hour, not only do I believe that

869
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:14,480
they'll drop in the rankings, they might fall pretty heavily

870
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,280
because remember Brett Utah got blown out by Texas Tech.

871
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,440
It was seventeen eighteen matchup, and Utah just failed to

872
00:41:21,519 --> 00:41:24,800
like twenty seven in the polls. So how do you

873
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,760
see it if BYU lose this close ballgame and they

874
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,960
still ranked above Utah going to nextric. Obviously people predicting

875
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,320
that they win, but if they get blown out, this

876
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,599
might knock them pretty significantly down in the College Football

877
00:41:34,599 --> 00:41:35,559
Playoff rankings.

878
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,559
Speaker 1: You know what, Ron, I really don't know.

879
00:41:40,519 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 11: I don't think we have a good fixture on what

880
00:41:44,079 --> 00:41:47,880
the committee thinks about BYU at this point. I think

881
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:52,480
it's easy to loop the College Footall Playoff.

882
00:41:52,119 --> 00:41:56,559
Speaker 1: Committee in with the national media. But that's not necessarily

883
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:57,159
the case.

884
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,559
Speaker 11: Like, just because Joel Klatt you feel like doesn't like BYU,

885
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:02,440
doesn't necessarily mean the College Wall.

886
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 1: Playoff Committee doesn't like BYU.

887
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:09,119
Speaker 11: In fact, I think if the committee didn't like BYU,

888
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,760
then they wouldn't have put them at seven. Now The

889
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,960
one counterpoint that I think you could make is it

890
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,280
would be really hard for the committee to put Texas

891
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,239
Tech ahead of BYU, and there were only so many

892
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,719
other teams that you could have reasonably put ahead of U.

893
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: So from that standpoint, I do get it. I think

894
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,800
the Committee believes in BYU.

895
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 11: I think the Committee put them at seven because they're undefeated.

896
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:38,840
I think the committee also understands Texas Tech doesn't necessarily

897
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,800
Texas Tech's best win is as good as BYU's best win,

898
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,000
and BYU was undefeated. If BYU were to get blown

899
00:42:47,079 --> 00:42:50,920
out by Texas Tech, that would be tough. I think

900
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,639
they need to keep this one close in order to

901
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:57,000
make a I think big statement to the national media.

902
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,679
I don't think keeping it close will do anything different

903
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,960
for the CFP because I think they're pretty confident in

904
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,199
how they feel about BYU.

905
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't think losing this game hurts BYU.

906
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 11: In fact, ron I went ahead and I hit up

907
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,960
the ESPN Playoff Predictor. Right now, BYU has the eighth

908
00:43:13,039 --> 00:43:18,639
best odds at making the college football playoffs per ESPN FPI,

909
00:43:19,159 --> 00:43:21,239
and then I just played around with it and I said, Okay,

910
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,719
if BOU loses to Texas Tech, but then they win

911
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,440
out and they lose the conference championship.

912
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,199
Speaker 1: The ESPN FPI Playoff predictor.

913
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,639
Speaker 11: Still gives BOU a ninety five percent chance to make

914
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,079
the College Football Playoffs. So yes, BOU needs to keep

915
00:43:39,079 --> 00:43:41,760
this thing close against Texas Tech. I still am not

916
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,480
sure how good Texas Tech is, especially given off of

917
00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:47,719
what Case State was able to do against them. I

918
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,679
still think they're one of the top ten teams in America.

919
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,360
But I think this notion that they're in a different

920
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,320
class than BYU and that they're gonna run through them,

921
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,159
I think I think it's a little bit malicious for

922
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,519
us to believe that. So no, I don't think the

923
00:44:01,639 --> 00:44:05,639
national media believes that BYU are I don't think that

924
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,920
the Collegewall Playoff Committee believes that BOU is as bad

925
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,519
as the national media may.

926
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:12,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, you bring up a good point there.

927
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 10: I think the reason why people think Texas Tech is

928
00:44:16,039 --> 00:44:17,320
better than BYU is.

929
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 6: The actual stats.

930
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 10: When you go and look at Texas Tech defensive line

931
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,519
on what they do, they're probably one of the best

932
00:44:22,519 --> 00:44:24,880
teams at rushing three and I'm putting them up there

933
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,880
with the other SEC and Big ten teams. That's and

934
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,159
I don't want people to think I'm speaking I probably,

935
00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:32,519
but David Bailey leads the nation in sacks. He's the

936
00:44:32,519 --> 00:44:36,239
first round picking, no doubt but him. When they rush three,

937
00:44:36,599 --> 00:44:38,239
they're one of the best teams that bring in just

938
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,159
three in a three three five and getting home like

939
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,199
that's that's what they're able to do in the three

940
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,679
three five, Like you got Jacob Rodriguez behind, and think

941
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,000
that's how scary this team me is is David Bailey

942
00:44:48,039 --> 00:44:50,079
can get home and then Jacob Rodriguez doesn't even do

943
00:44:50,119 --> 00:44:52,000
anything then. And that's why I said this, you know,

944
00:44:52,039 --> 00:44:54,400
earlier in the week. When I say earlier, I mean

945
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,280
on Monday, and I'll keep reiterating it until Friday. But

946
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,599
I think it's more important when bou gets the pall

947
00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:01,920
the ball past the line of scrimmage of that you

948
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,440
hold on to the football than that, because it's honestly

949
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,360
like levels of difficulty, honestly, like I don't know, I

950
00:45:07,559 --> 00:45:10,519
hate to bring out this, this old timer, and Brett

951
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:13,039
you might know this, but remember spy kids game over

952
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:15,000
like every level that you got to, it was just

953
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:15,519
more tough.

954
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 6: You get past the defensive line, all right, that's that level.

955
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,679
Speaker 10: Okay, he got past David Bailey and you know Gil

956
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,159
and the next thing you know, oh, there's Jacob Rodriguez.

957
00:45:25,199 --> 00:45:27,800
Then they got with this kid named Janowski who's a

958
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,800
transfer from nook Ford State I think or whatever. He's

959
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,280
there then and he's what six five safety. You just

960
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,800
keep having to get through level after level before you're

961
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,280
able to break through. I feel like, kind of like

962
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,360
Spy Kids game over, You're just gonna keep getting more difficult.

963
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,639
It does not go away. So that's what bou has

964
00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:46,519
to face on Saturday. And they perform, but they can

965
00:45:46,639 --> 00:45:49,480
be had, right like Arizona State beat him. Granted that

966
00:45:49,559 --> 00:45:51,320
was on the road and it was with a backup

967
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,440
quarterback will him and as we know, out for the season,

968
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,079
but Sam Level was willing to deal and it's possible

969
00:45:56,079 --> 00:45:58,760
they can. You can throw on this Texas Tech defense

970
00:45:59,039 --> 00:46:01,559
we played the Parker came down in the second hour

971
00:46:01,599 --> 00:46:04,079
in the second segment at the three point thirty, and

972
00:46:04,159 --> 00:46:06,440
I really liked that he said, Okay, you know, go

973
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,880
ahead and try to guard me chasing Jojo, and I

974
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,280
think that was the best thing about Arizona State. Jordan

975
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,440
Tyson is also going to be an All American I

976
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,480
think be a first round pick, but it is going

977
00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:18,480
to be difficult. Bra I don't think you can guard

978
00:46:18,519 --> 00:46:20,800
all three. Sure, you take your lockdown corner, can you

979
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,440
really bracket the rest. When BAU decides that they want

980
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,480
to add Carson Ryan or that they want to add

981
00:46:25,519 --> 00:46:27,639
Cody Hagen, I just I don't know how you guard

982
00:46:27,639 --> 00:46:29,280
it all. Like I think BYU is going to really

983
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,840
be able to throw the football well in this game,

984
00:46:32,599 --> 00:46:34,119
and I think they are going to be able to

985
00:46:34,159 --> 00:46:36,840
expose Texas Tech and the secondary. Not that they're not good,

986
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,519
but that's how formidable I think this BAU pass game

987
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,639
can be. Like I think Chase Roberts and Parker Kingston

988
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,440
are legit wide receiver number ones. I mean, we had

989
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,199
Max shawicker Pro Football Focused on the show earlier, and

990
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,760
on their show they said this is bona fide one

991
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,079
A one B. And then now that you throw in

992
00:46:53,119 --> 00:46:56,199
the wrinkle of Jojo and Cody Hagen. Look, I just

993
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,719
I think if the run game can't get going, if

994
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,920
LJ can, if Joe Vessa can, if Preston Rex can,

995
00:47:02,039 --> 00:47:03,320
I think they'll still be okay.

996
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 6: Because I do believe BYU will be able to throw

997
00:47:05,519 --> 00:47:06,000
the football.

998
00:47:07,159 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I one hundred percent agree.

999
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 11: I don't think this Bou team is just going to

1000
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,760
get shut down by Texas Tech. I certainly think that

1001
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,440
the Red Raiders are gonna show up. Look, I think

1002
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:18,039
this is gonna be a slugfest at the end of

1003
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:20,480
the day. It's gonna be a very good Texas Tech

1004
00:47:20,559 --> 00:47:23,519
defense against the Bou offense, who I think knows how.

1005
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: To solve problems.

1006
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 11: They have found ways to beat elite pass rushes before.

1007
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:31,880
I think your best example of that would be the

1008
00:47:32,079 --> 00:47:33,960
University of Utah.

1009
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: You won't have the rivalry element playing into that. Does

1010
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:38,679
that help you? Does that hurt you?

1011
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,639
Speaker 11: I don't know, But the fact that you've seen something

1012
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,440
similar to this, because remember when BYU came into playing Utah,

1013
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:49,159
John Henry Daily either the week before or that week

1014
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,440
was leading the nation in sacks as well. And I

1015
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,320
think Utah's d line at least their pass rush is

1016
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,960
on par with Texas Tech, even though I probably give

1017
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,079
the slight edge to the Red Raid.

1018
00:48:00,159 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: So Bilgia has seen something like this before.

1019
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 11: The question is will they be able to handle it

1020
00:48:06,039 --> 00:48:08,760
as well as they did Utah? And honestly, Ron, I

1021
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,599
think the answer to that question is yes, because, like

1022
00:48:11,639 --> 00:48:14,760
we've talked about a number of times, Iowa State forced

1023
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:19,199
you to learn to be a drop back passing offense,

1024
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,320
which they really hadn't had to do to that point

1025
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,400
in the season. Really, everything they did, if through the air,

1026
00:48:24,519 --> 00:48:27,599
was built off of play action that was predicated on

1027
00:48:27,639 --> 00:48:28,039
what LJ.

1028
00:48:28,119 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: Martin did in the run.

1029
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,599
Speaker 11: I would say they were able to just drop back

1030
00:48:30,599 --> 00:48:33,440
and throw the football. Obviously, you will not have the

1031
00:48:33,519 --> 00:48:35,840
time to throw the ball like you did with Iostate

1032
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,760
against Texas Tech, but I think they've learned some things along.

1033
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: The way that will show them.

1034
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 11: Okay, cool, this is what we can do against the

1035
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,440
team like Texas Tech based on teams we've played before.

1036
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 6: I agree, yes, So we're gonna find out. Guys. But

1037
00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:50,559
that was Brett Hammer and I are just recapping a

1038
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:50,840
little bit.

1059
00:49:45,639 --> 00:49:47,800
let's turn back to the A Rod Sound. Let's go

1060
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,440
to number eleven. This is the first ever top ten

1061
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,400
showdown in program history.

1062
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 6: A Rod. How are you feeling about that?

1063
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's crazy. There's been so much good football played here.

1064
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,559
I would have never thought that hasn't happened before.

1065
00:50:08,599 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 6: But yeah, we've talked about that.

1066
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 12: It's an honor, you know where I think everybody is

1067
00:50:14,519 --> 00:50:16,920
humbled to be a part of a game that big

1068
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,920
and on a big stage like this, and we want

1069
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,719
to go down there and represent our university.

1070
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 10: Well you hear that, Brett, it's an honor. Yeah, I

1071
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,400
can't believe that hasn't happened. First of all, hasn't happened?

1072
00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:31,559
And then number two says honored, humble because look, these

1073
00:50:31,599 --> 00:50:35,440
opportunities aren't given their earned just like BAU basketball. I

1074
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,360
know people like Ron, why are you talking about basketball

1075
00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:40,079
in a football segment this football season? But look, these

1076
00:50:40,159 --> 00:50:42,679
things are earned. I mean, Kevin Young had the pedigre before,

1077
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,159
so it's earning. Even then, the only reason that happened

1078
00:50:45,199 --> 00:50:47,119
is because Mark Pope. You got to give credit to

1079
00:50:47,119 --> 00:50:49,360
the Pope staff. They won what twenty three and ten

1080
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,480
or eleven. No one thought that they would finish six

1081
00:50:51,519 --> 00:50:53,280
in the Big twelve. So they finished the top sixteen

1082
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,000
at sixteen in the Big twelve. In the first year,

1083
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,599
Mark pub goes and goes to Kentucky and then like

1084
00:50:58,599 --> 00:51:00,480
oh the Skuy's falling chicken little and then here comes

1085
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:02,760
Kevin Young. So it's earned. You have to earn it

1086
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:04,320
at the end of the day. It's not just hand

1087
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,559
it out to you. So here you are eight to

1088
00:51:06,639 --> 00:51:08,800
oh for the first time in program history, and back

1089
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,239
to back seasons I think fifth or sixth overall, and

1090
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,199
now it's been earned that you get.

1091
00:51:13,039 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 6: A top ten matchup.

1092
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 10: College game day is going and then Aaron rodder Brett says,

1093
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:19,719
it's an honor to be able to do that like

1094
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,960
this coaching staff, I believe because of this and if

1095
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,360
they win the game, even without the win, but definitely

1096
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,440
if they win the game, you will book that this

1097
00:51:27,519 --> 00:51:30,199
is the greatest coaching staff.

1098
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 6: Group in the history I think of BAYU athletics.

1099
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,519
Speaker 10: If they're able to do that, win the Big Toe title,

1100
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,400
get to the college football playoffs.

1101
00:51:38,639 --> 00:51:40,519
Speaker 6: Klanne A, Rod J.

1102
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:46,280
Speaker 10: Hill, Kelly Popinga, Kevin Gilbride, Jennaro Guilford, Harvey Unga.

1103
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 6: I'm gonna miss some people, you know, TJ. Woods.

1104
00:51:49,559 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 10: This entire staff I think will go down as the

1105
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,320
greatest coaching staff for one in BAYU football history, because

1106
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,000
you can't deny that if you're a top ten team,

1107
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,239
you beat another top ten team, you win in the

1108
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,639
Big Twelve title, you do that and your third year

1109
00:52:02,639 --> 00:52:05,639
in the Big twelve where you honestly probably have no pedigree,

1110
00:52:05,679 --> 00:52:08,199
people are picking against you at the national level, and

1111
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,679
then you go out and prove the doubters wrong, silence them.

1112
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,880
And if you were to do it undefeated for that matter,

1113
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:14,800
which again hard to go undefeated, but if you were

1114
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,159
able to do that even with not being undefeated, I

1115
00:52:17,159 --> 00:52:17,679
think that's.

1116
00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:19,519
Speaker 6: How you write your name in the history books.

1117
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: I still cannot believe that this has never happened.

1118
00:52:23,599 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 11: Every time somebody says that Statu'm like, there's just no

1119
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,880
way that that's possible. The BYU hasn't played a top

1120
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:31,960
ten team while being in the top ten, which I

1121
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:33,960
get it does it happen very often?

1122
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,679
Speaker 1: And I guess when you throw in the fact that.

1123
00:52:36,599 --> 00:52:39,880
Speaker 11: They obviously haven't been a member of a power conference,

1124
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,519
obviously they were independent for a while. When you give

1125
00:52:42,599 --> 00:52:45,320
that context, it makes it make a lot more sense.

1126
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:49,400
But it's still crazy to think about the thing that

1127
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,800
really is sticking with me on this one though, Ron.

1128
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,400
I mean, I've already heard people say this may be

1129
00:52:58,679 --> 00:53:02,039
the biggest regular season in game in program history, and

1130
00:53:02,119 --> 00:53:04,880
I can hop on board with that. But more than that, Ron,

1131
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:10,599
what happens on Saturday will be what people remember because remember,

1132
00:53:10,639 --> 00:53:12,559
it's not about how you start, it's how you finish

1133
00:53:12,679 --> 00:53:16,639
and agreed what and look, people have no idea what

1134
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,519
you're saying, but they remember exactly how.

1135
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:19,119
Speaker 1: You make them feel.

1136
00:53:19,639 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 6: Yep.

1137
00:53:20,199 --> 00:53:23,679
Speaker 11: College football fans on Saturday are gonna remember how.

1138
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: B why you made them feel?

1139
00:53:25,559 --> 00:53:28,599
Speaker 11: Did they make you feel like, oh yeah, B why

1140
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:31,159
you gave it to Texas Tech even in a loss?

1141
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,360
Did B why you make them feel oh you know

1142
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,039
what those Cougars cooked in Lubbock and it is the

1143
00:53:37,159 --> 00:53:39,719
upset of the year, or is it gonna make you

1144
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,360
feel like, yeah, this is what I thought YU was.

1145
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:43,639
Speaker 1: I thought they weren't that good.

1146
00:53:44,599 --> 00:53:48,679
Speaker 11: College football fans, the college football national media, the college

1147
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,199
Football Playoff Committee, they are going to remember how B

1148
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,920
why you made them feel after this game in Lubbock

1149
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:56,599
on Saturday.

1150
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 6: So good point. How is this BAU team going to

1151
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,559
make them feel on Saturday?

1152
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:02,800
Speaker 10: I wonder if it's gonna give vibes of Baylor from

1153
00:54:03,119 --> 00:54:05,360
last year where you're up twenty one to seven.

1154
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 6: I think it was twenty one to seven.

1155
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 10: I don't think it was twenty four to seven at halftime,

1156
00:54:09,039 --> 00:54:11,679
and then you come out still with the win granted,

1157
00:54:11,679 --> 00:54:14,400
and Sawyer Robinson would have had another five minutes, maybe

1158
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,880
that game doesn't go Bou's way. You could play it

1159
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:18,719
doesn't matter, should it could have, would, It doesn't matter.

1160
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,119
Cougar's got the victory. Crew wakely sealed it. So I

1161
00:54:21,159 --> 00:54:23,159
wonder if he'll be that type of ball game. BA

1162
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,679
just goes in and there clicking on all cylinders to

1163
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,480
offerences in rhythm and you have no idea what's going on.

1164
00:54:28,559 --> 00:54:31,480
So gonna find out. Gonna find out in a couple

1165
00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:33,679
of days. I know everybody's waiting Number twelve A Rod.

1166
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,400
Has this team gotten better at canceling out the outside noise?

1167
00:54:39,559 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 12: Well, we'll find out, you know what I mean. That's

1168
00:54:41,039 --> 00:54:43,719
that remains to be seen. I think I think we've

1169
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,159
already shown some maturity this year, a few lessons we

1170
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,880
learned from a year ago. But there's still football left

1171
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,920
and so that's the that's the challenges each week, just

1172
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,000
staying locked in on this game, one day at a time,

1173
00:54:57,079 --> 00:54:59,639
the process that leads up to earning the right to

1174
00:54:59,639 --> 00:55:01,880
play with on Saturday, And that's that's really what we're

1175
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:02,760
focused on right now.

1176
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,199
Speaker 10: I agree with they Rod yet to be seen. They

1177
00:55:05,199 --> 00:55:07,559
were here last year eight or nine to zero didn't

1178
00:55:07,559 --> 00:55:09,599
get it done. So I think that's the right answer.

1179
00:55:09,639 --> 00:55:12,159
It remains to be seeing Brett. I don't think they

1180
00:55:12,159 --> 00:55:14,280
haven't proven it yet because if you get a loss,

1181
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,719
oh oh, little deja vu creeping in. I remind people

1182
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,840
of the basketball season. Remember two thousand, you know, I

1183
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,039
think it was well, I don't know if it was

1184
00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:22,480
twenty three to twenty two when.

1185
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 6: You're I think it was. No, it was twenty two

1186
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,199
because it wasn't twenty three, that was for sure.

1187
00:55:25,199 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 10: In the big twelve twenty two to last year of

1188
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:31,280
the WCC, Gonzaga opportunity to win it. Jackson Robinson goes

1189
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,639
splits at the line straw the hits the game winner. Okay,

1190
00:55:34,679 --> 00:55:37,320
same situation, Adam Mahoney down the hall, doesn't hit him,

1191
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,800
and then he and then he ice is a game

1192
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,480
puts it away. Look, it might be that type of moment.

1193
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,920
You could have a back to back dash. Who don't

1194
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:46,639
think this team will I think they are mature. They'll

1195
00:55:46,679 --> 00:55:48,880
show it. But Brett, they're in the same situation that

1196
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:49,679
they were last year.

1197
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:55,559
Speaker 11: I find the response to that question interesting unless he

1198
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,480
was asking a question answering a question that wasn't asked

1199
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,599
because he was asked how this team has been or

1200
00:56:03,639 --> 00:56:07,039
how this team is it blocking out all of the

1201
00:56:07,079 --> 00:56:10,119
outsoeed noise, especially when you consider the last night it

1202
00:56:10,199 --> 00:56:11,880
was gonna be the see if P rankings drop, and

1203
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,119
so I wonder if that went into that question being asked.

1204
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,559
Speaker 1: And I love to play the game.

1205
00:56:17,599 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 11: If you know me, you know that I love to

1206
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:23,360
play this game of what does coach talk say here?

1207
00:56:23,559 --> 00:56:25,559
Speaker 1: What would the coach say, you're true?

1208
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,199
Speaker 11: And my guess to what a Rod would have said

1209
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,760
was would have been, oh, yeah, these guys are great

1210
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,920
out blocking out the noise, humble and hungry, a bunch

1211
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,599
of those cliches and buzzwords, and that's not what we got.

1212
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,960
So either a couple of things are possible here. Number

1213
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,960
one could be maybe a Rod is just giving the

1214
00:56:47,039 --> 00:56:50,639
media and Texas sec the rope it up, saying, oh,

1215
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,440
I don't know, we may not be focused, just to

1216
00:56:53,519 --> 00:56:55,360
kind of put it out there that maybe Bealie is

1217
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,760
not as focused as they should be, and then obviously

1218
00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,639
when they go and play the game, it's it's not

1219
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,079
even close. Maybe it's possible that he gave that answer

1220
00:57:03,079 --> 00:57:06,519
because he was answering a question that wasn't asked, which

1221
00:57:06,559 --> 00:57:09,920
would have been I'll know my team can block out

1222
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,840
the noise, depending on how they do.

1223
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 1: This Saturday, which.

1224
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,599
Speaker 11: To me that I think is the likely scenario here

1225
00:57:20,119 --> 00:57:23,840
for him to say, we'll see. Look, they know this team,

1226
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,679
they know the culture is humble and hungry. I think

1227
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,159
a Rod knows exactly what he has with the squad.

1228
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,719
We know they're great a blocking out the noise. I'm

1229
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,280
not stressed at all about this team.

1230
00:57:33,519 --> 00:57:34,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, and not stressed. I'm with you.

1231
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,519
Speaker 10: I think the noise is blocked out, no doubt. So uh,

1232
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,599
I don't think that's going to be a factor. Teams

1233
00:57:39,599 --> 00:57:42,719
too mature had to many that we've seen them not

1234
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,559
have these issues, So I don't think that's gonna be

1235
00:57:44,559 --> 00:57:48,960
a problem. Number thirteen, Well, Jojojo Siah Phillips be limited

1236
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,280
a Rod to a particular snout cap.

1237
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:54,119
Speaker 6: Snap count.

1238
00:57:54,159 --> 00:57:58,519
Speaker 12: Sorry, No, JoJo's ready to roll. He's been practicing for

1239
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:01,519
weeks and he's to go. Yeah, we're super excited to

1240
00:58:01,519 --> 00:58:03,800
have him back. JoJo's a starter, man. He's one of

1241
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,440
our best players. He was one of our best players

1242
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,760
last year too, and he gives us size and speed

1243
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,760
and he's super smart, and he's tough, and he's got

1244
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,760
fresh legs. Man, he's he's been uh hasn't hasn't played

1245
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,840
in a while, but he played so much ball last

1246
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,599
year and all through springball through fall camp. I think

1247
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,000
I expect him to play well.

1248
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 10: One of our best players, Brett going back to to

1249
00:58:24,639 --> 00:58:27,840
last season. He's not gonna have a limited snap count.

1250
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,760
He's gonna play. He expects him to play well. Your

1251
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,400
thoughts on a Rod's comments there.

1252
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's really interesting.

1253
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 11: What does this mean for Cody Hagan Cochin Hagan was

1254
00:58:40,039 --> 00:58:44,000
playing but wasn't necessarily having an impact.

1255
00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 1: Felt we saw Tiger catch a couple passes.

1256
00:58:48,159 --> 00:58:50,639
Speaker 11: It did feel like that three spot was kind of

1257
00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:56,719
just being rotated between those two guys. So if Jojo

1258
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,960
steps in here, is it as though nothing has changed

1259
00:59:02,119 --> 00:59:06,159
because there was never really a definitive wide receiver three?

1260
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:07,679
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe not.

1261
00:59:08,079 --> 00:59:10,159
Speaker 11: Think the other question people would want to ask is, well,

1262
00:59:10,159 --> 00:59:12,440
what's the chemistry gonna be like? And Ayrod answered that

1263
00:59:12,519 --> 00:59:14,840
as well, saying, look, this is not a guy who

1264
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,039
just got healthy last week and now we're throwing him

1265
00:59:17,039 --> 00:59:19,239
out there because we need him and we're scrambling this

1266
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,000
guy who's been practicing for a long time, and he's

1267
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,679
not new to the team. He's been here. He's been

1268
00:59:24,719 --> 00:59:26,559
here as long as Bear has been here. So that

1269
00:59:26,639 --> 00:59:29,519
as much chemistry really as there possibly could be with

1270
00:59:29,599 --> 00:59:35,320
these two, is there? The question I have is, let's

1271
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,440
just say, for argument's sake, we're getting the best version.

1272
00:59:38,199 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: Of Jojo Phillips. Let's just say that.

1273
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 11: My next question then is, okay, but what actually is that.

1274
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,519
Speaker 1: We know that Jojo is uber talented.

1275
00:59:48,639 --> 00:59:51,719
Speaker 11: We know he's too big, too strong, too fast, one

1276
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,599
of the most freaky athletic guys BYU has ever had at.

1277
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,639
Speaker 1: The wide receiver spot. But it's not a question of

1278
00:59:59,159 --> 00:59:59,840
is he came.

1279
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 11: It's not a question of if he it's a question

1280
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:08,360
of will he We know he can, we just haven't

1281
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:13,079
fully seen it put on tape in his time at BYU,

1282
01:00:13,519 --> 01:00:16,559
and frankly, I really want to. I'm so bummed we

1283
01:00:16,599 --> 01:00:19,519
didn't get more plays like he had against Southern Illinois

1284
01:00:19,559 --> 01:00:22,280
last year where he and Jake just took the roof

1285
01:00:22,679 --> 01:00:26,000
off the top of the Southern Illinois silukis. I want

1286
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,400
to see more of that from Jojo, just more of

1287
01:00:28,519 --> 01:00:31,880
him going and showing like hey, I am one of

1288
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,159
the most athletic guys. I'm probably the most athletic guy

1289
01:00:35,199 --> 01:00:38,280
on the field in any given situation and making those

1290
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,400
plays that Texas Tech just can't stop. So the question

1291
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:45,039
with Jojo is not gonna be is he capable of it?

1292
01:00:45,079 --> 01:00:45,199
Speaker 4: Is?

1293
01:00:45,599 --> 01:00:47,719
Speaker 1: It's will we see it on Saturday?

1294
01:00:48,159 --> 01:00:51,079
Speaker 6: Yeah? This is not Bob the Builder. Can we fix it?

1295
01:00:51,159 --> 01:00:53,800
Yes we can, as can can? And will he do it? Like?

1296
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,639
Speaker 10: That's the big I think you bring up a good

1297
01:00:55,679 --> 01:00:57,480
point there. So we're gonna find out a couple of

1298
01:00:57,559 --> 01:01:00,360
days away. I'll last couple of things before we go

1299
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,239
to break a rod. Have you ever coached in Lubbock

1300
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:04,719
before in your coaching career?

1301
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:06,639
Speaker 5: Have not?

1302
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've heard it's a great place to play. I've

1303
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,960
heard their fans are really good. I've supposed to be

1304
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,960
super loud, and I think this is gonna be the

1305
01:01:14,039 --> 01:01:16,760
loudest place we play this year, and so we've been

1306
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:18,840
preparing for that and I'm excited.

1307
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,719
Speaker 10: Has never coached in Lubbock before, Brett. I. Look, I'm

1308
01:01:23,719 --> 01:01:28,119
gonna say this. I think that if there was another

1309
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,559
team that I wasn't covering another place, Texas Tech seems

1310
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:34,840
to be the place Look, basketball is doing phenomenal, football

1311
01:01:35,239 --> 01:01:36,840
is doing phenomenal, and then they.

1312
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 6: Got softball as well.

1313
01:01:38,039 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 10: Like Lubbock is its own town, its own thing right now,

1314
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,920
it's own city. So I mean, look, if it wasn't BYU,

1315
01:01:45,039 --> 01:01:47,480
then Lubbock looks like to be a good spot.

1316
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 6: Honestly.

1317
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 10: I think that's there's a lot of hype down there

1318
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:51,519
and it's tough to get to.

1319
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 6: It's out there. It's not West Virginia, but Lubbock Tech

1320
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:55,400
is definitely a little different.

1321
01:01:56,159 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, one d percent.

1322
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 11: Texas Tech seems to be coming up big in the

1323
01:02:01,559 --> 01:02:05,960
Peak twelve and my guess is they are going to

1324
01:02:06,039 --> 01:02:08,119
be the new face that runs the place.

1325
01:02:08,199 --> 01:02:10,639
Speaker 1: Who is it gonna be? Who's gonna be the new

1326
01:02:10,639 --> 01:02:11,840
Texas and Oklahoma?

1327
01:02:12,079 --> 01:02:14,519
Speaker 11: I don't know who both of those will be, but

1328
01:02:14,599 --> 01:02:16,719
I'm pretty sure one of them is going to be

1329
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,760
the Red Raiders because they seemingly have it on lock

1330
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,199
in every single sport.

1331
01:02:22,639 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 10: Joey McGuire, Graham McCaslin, phenomenal. Gonna have to get the

1332
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,000
Texas Tech softball coach too, because.

1333
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,159
Speaker 6: That person also has it on lock as well.

1334
01:02:31,159 --> 01:02:33,559
Speaker 10: That's where the money's at invested in nil the right

1335
01:02:33,559 --> 01:02:35,079
way last thing. We'll let you go on this A

1336
01:02:35,199 --> 01:02:37,960
Rod Calani mentioned this week the connection of Mike Leach.

1337
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:39,719
Speaker 6: To BYU and Texas Tech.

1338
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,119
Speaker 10: Any influences of Leech's offenses in the past, and how

1339
01:02:44,199 --> 01:02:45,599
do you view offense now?

1340
01:02:49,119 --> 01:02:51,159
Speaker 12: Well, I remember Coach Leach sitting in our meetings when

1341
01:02:51,159 --> 01:02:52,840
I was a player. I mean, he was always always

1342
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:57,159
around in spring ball, and then I maintained a relationship

1343
01:02:57,199 --> 01:02:59,159
with him, you know, later on when you was at

1344
01:02:59,239 --> 01:03:03,000
Washington State and other places in tech tech and I

1345
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,519
think a lot of us here have known him for

1346
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:06,559
a long time, and you know, we miss him. And

1347
01:03:06,639 --> 01:03:09,679
he took parts of the old BYU offense and turned

1348
01:03:09,679 --> 01:03:12,000
that into into his system, and a lot of those

1349
01:03:12,039 --> 01:03:13,599
elements still exist in this offense.

1350
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,679
Speaker 10: A lot of those elements still exist in this offense.

1351
01:03:16,719 --> 01:03:19,440
He remembers sitting in meetings the great Mike Leach. Got

1352
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,440
to honor him, one of the greatest college coaches that

1353
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,320
will go down in history. Shout out to Mike Leech

1354
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,760
and the legacy that he left behind.

1355
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:27,519
