I always say, 37 00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:37,599 you want to know something, don't ask Bear. It's not 38 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,439 a shot. Don't ask the quarterback. He's gonna be straight 39 00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:42,439 to the point. Now, he might be doing a typical 40 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:44,799 freshman pr train short to the point, but I also 41 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:45,799 believe this is who Bear is. 42 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, now, Demember. Back in the day, alj used to 43 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,719 be kind of to not say too much. 44 00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 3: And now as he's grown and grown as a football 45 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,200 player but also grown like in the media, training and 46 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,519 all that stuff. And now LJ gaves great answers. He's 47 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,840 so well spoken, he's sop and again not that Bear's not. 48 00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:03,959 I just don't think his brain works that way. He's 49 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,439 not thinking like how can I communicate to the media. 50 00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,960 He is literally just going to answer the question that 51 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,719 you asked, whether it's yes, no, whatever it is. He's 52 00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:15,000 not focused on giving you a great answer. He's literally 53 00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:16,759 just focused on answering your question. 54 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,719 Speaker 1: That is it? That is it? That is all. 55 00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: How to do how to do tipic hip of the cap, 56 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,159 That's what Bart Bachmeyer is, That's what he does. So 57 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:25,280 I just want to always make that clear. That's why 58 00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:27,479 Kuckybody's straight to the point. But look, I think he 59 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,759 is gonna get better in the media, kind of like 60 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,159 Jaron Hall, same thing kind of happened. So look, give 61 00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:35,639 them time, give them time and all will work out. 62 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,280 But gonna get into this Bear bachmeer Son. He addressed 63 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:40,960 everything in the post game in regards to bo. He's 64 00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:44,120 forty one to twenty one win over UCF. Look it 65 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:47,560 was a scary performance in that first quarter. And you 66 00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:49,039 can't really say, oh, they had him in the first half. 67 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,319 They had him in the first quarter. But man, not 68 00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:53,080 the start that you want to see. We said it 69 00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:56,360 yesterday in a couple of segments. We'll say it again today. 70 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,639 If you start that slow against Texas Tech, oh me, 71 00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:03,319 oh my, oh me, oh my, it's not gonna look 72 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,680 good for you. Those that are NBA basketball fans will 73 00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,560 understand that right there. Anyway, let's get into the questions. 74 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,360 This is where the questions that myself and other media 75 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,280 members asked the Bear Backameyer in the post game. Let's 76 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,919 start with number one Bear. Last year, Bo, you came 77 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,159 up short getting to the title game. What does it 78 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,120 mean to get to the title game this year? 79 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, it means a lot, and and especially on on 80 00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,599 Senior Day, and and yeah, I mean we've worked so 81 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,520 hard and and just to see the hard work payoff. 82 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:36,520 But but you know, we know, we know we gotta 83 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520 big task head and we we gotta we gotta go attack. 84 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,159 Speaker 2: They do have a big task in hand. Texas Tech 85 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,280 is the real deal. Look, I'm just gonna be honest, 86 00:03:44,479 --> 00:03:46,759 and I'll keep saying this. Brad Texas Tech is just 87 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,280 not the best team in the Big Twelve. They might 88 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:49,400 be the best team in the country. 89 00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:50,879 Speaker 1: I think they're the best team in the country, dude. 90 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna take out your Georgia Bulldog. I 91 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,680 really think they are. 92 00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: I still can't believe the Georgia Bulldogs are even gonna 93 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120 make the playoffs. I think they'll lose this week to Alabama. 94 00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:03,520 Really yeah, because that just makes things worse. Look, if 95 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,400 you know anything about the University of Georgia, it's that 96 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,520 Alabama could roll out second graders on that team. As 97 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,159 they got the crimson tied on their jerseys, they will 98 00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:11,879 be Georgia. 99 00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:14,159 Speaker 1: Because they got immensely But Calen coach too. 100 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,519 Speaker 3: To that point, I think if Georgia matches up to 101 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,959 Texas Tech, they will lose BYU is gonna have to 102 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,439 have the game of their life to beat Texas Tech. 103 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:24,399 Because to your point, you saw you already tried that 104 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,040 once you saw what happened when you started slow against 105 00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:31,160 Texas Tech a few weeks remember that, yeah, exactly, So 106 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,720 you gotta find a new way to do this. And look, 107 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,959 if you know, as an offense, hey, this it just 108 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,800 might be another slow start for us, because we got 109 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,759 to figure out how we can get the ball to 110 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,399 the edges, how we can avoid this Texas Tech front 111 00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:45,600 seven until we can find a way to tire them 112 00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:46,399 out and beat them. 113 00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: If you know that's gonna be the case, the. 114 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: Boy's defense has got to hang on for a quarter, 115 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,959 maybe a quarter and a half until the buoy offingson. 116 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,079 Speaker 1: Figure it out. Now. 117 00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 3: We've also heard the question posed to a Rod before, Hey, 118 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,240 how do you get your team to start faster and 119 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,480 not have these slow starts? And a Rod doesn't think 120 00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:08,360 that the team starts slow now unequivocally definitively in this 121 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,240 game and the Texas Tech game, you started slow offensively. 122 00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:14,920 So maybe you find a new way because you've already 123 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,439 played Texas Tech once. Maybe you feel like you got 124 00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:20,079 some guys healthy by not playing everybody last week. 125 00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: And if that's the case, awesome. 126 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: However, the point remains, you cannot do what you did 127 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,399 against UCF or what you did against Texas Tech the 128 00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:32,959 first time the second time around, because you will lose. 129 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,680 You get is very rare in life that you get 130 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,600 a do over, and if if you're gonna get this opportunity, 131 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,240 you best not waste. 132 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: It best not wasted. Look, and what needs to happen 133 00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:42,399 is this. 134 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: I know there are a lot of media people out 135 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,560 there and people saying, oh, well, you know Arizona State 136 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,040 b Tech Tech how though, ye, how oh and they 137 00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,639 went quick to the edges, you know, and you speed 138 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,639 and got the bottom and hands of it. Yeah, but 139 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,319 do you know what happened before that in the first quarter, 140 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,519 in the first half, again, what happened you guys can't 141 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:02,600 pull it out because you weren't paying attention, Like, look, 142 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,120 just don't listen to what all of eve, including myself 143 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:07,639 the media people say is sometimes don't just take that. 144 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,279 Whether they have played before, whether they've been working this 145 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:11,120 business a long time. 146 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: You have to watch the game. 147 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,879 Speaker 2: Sam Levitt hit on two chunk yardage plays fifty to 148 00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,199 fifty balls. One I would say was they're even lucky. 149 00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:21,399 What did that do to the defensive coordinator on the road? 150 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,160 He got nervous and the offense coordinated with the backup 151 00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,959 quarterback who's very who's well him. It's a great quarterback. 152 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,879 By the way, they'll be just fine when Baron Morton 153 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,600 is gone. That forced him to be like, okay, wait 154 00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:34,360 then your quick out routes getting the ball to Jordan Tyson, 155 00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:37,519 run the ball that mad Texas Tech scampered. If Yu 156 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,199 doesn't do that, if you don't hit a deep shot 157 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,120 to like that Chase ball to Chase, if you can't 158 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,959 push the ball vertically and give fair time to throw, 159 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,000 if Parker can't run those over the middles, if you 160 00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:48,319 can't make checks to Texas Tech chase you, if you 161 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,800 cannot spread them out and actually make them play man 162 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,399 to man, it's not gonna. 163 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: Work well for you. It won't work. And that's the 164 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,199 only reason to work well for Arizona State. 165 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: I just have to be declared of and say that 166 00:06:58,079 --> 00:06:59,240 because a lot of people are like, oh, look what 167 00:06:59,279 --> 00:06:59,839 Arizona State. 168 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they basically played backyard football, So let me 169 00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:06,759 byu this for you guys. They basically had Zach Wilson 170 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,439 throwing to Tedoroa McMillan. That's essentially what happened. Literally, and 171 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,560 Sam Levitt was able to run around for long enough. 172 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,439 And as soon as you break three to four seconds, 173 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,079 any defense is breaking down. 174 00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:17,319 Speaker 1: You're not hanging on for that long. 175 00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, and so Texas Tech's defense, while structurally it was great, 176 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:25,160 when it came to finding time being special playing backyard 177 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,079 football with Arizona State, it's very hard to do that. 178 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,319 And again once you did it a couple times, and 179 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Baron Morton, we know, took some shots in that game. 180 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,560 And and so if your bou doesn't have the ability 181 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,279 to play backyard football the way that Arizona State did, 182 00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:43,839 and so you're gonna have to find a new way 183 00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:46,160 different than that and certainly different when you did the 184 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,879 first time around. 185 00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: Look, if you win, you're in, and if you don't, 186 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,480 you still might not be going to the college fotball playoffs. 187 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,920 So what do you have to lose? Let it rip, 188 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,560 Let bear rip it. Bring everything out of your playbook, 189 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,959 so everything who cares? 190 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Who cares? 191 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: Because guess what the next game you're going to play 192 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,480 in is the ball game probably going to be your 193 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,079 last one because you're not going to the college football playoffs. 194 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Can't evance, So let everything and I expect they rod 195 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,040 to do. So let's get back to the sound. Bear 196 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,759 is the third time you guys have fallen, As we 197 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,519 said to a fourteen nothing whole? What is it about 198 00:08:12,519 --> 00:08:15,319 your ability to rally back? You had thirty one an answer. 199 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:19,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, Unfortunately, you've been there a couple times and you 200 00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:23,879 don't want to be there. But or good stocky harps 201 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,519 on the ladge, just culture at BYU and just trussing 202 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,120 the guy next to you to get their job done, 203 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,480 and just comes down to execution. 204 00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:31,639 Speaker 2: That's what it comes down to. None of this culture 205 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,240 stuff and all of that rallying back. Look, every team 206 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,879 is body and they think they could come back. So 207 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:37,399 I'm not trying to take a shot of Ba's culture, 208 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,559 but like, no, it's it's executing. They didn't execute in 209 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,600 the first quarter. The defense put the offense in a 210 00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:44,600 bad situation pressure, there was no momentum. They played great, 211 00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:47,879 complimentary football. They have to so the defense, offensive, special 212 00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:50,080 teams has to play well less. It's the way it goes. 213 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,120 UCS defense came out a little bit. Ba's offensive line 214 00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:55,600 was playing a little bit sluggish. I would say, weren't 215 00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:58,320 maybe finishing blocks away this shit. It weren't being as violent. 216 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,039 And you see if got home and they had a 217 00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:02,279 couple three and outs and then the UCFS offense said 218 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,720 we will not be denied because they had to get eligible. 219 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,240 And then you turn it on in the second quarter. 220 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:09,080 Dare I say that some seniors are making senior mistakes 221 00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:13,320 and look, that was it. So I promise you that's 222 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,879 not gonna happen this next game. They're not gonna they 223 00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,799 can't afford to start slow defensively, and it's never this 224 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,960 is the issue. The issue has been, and I agree 225 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,639 with Kalanne with us where they have not played collectively 226 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,440 their best ball because you've had issues where the defense 227 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,480 has started slow or the offense has started slow. You've 228 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:32,600 never had both of those come together where they've been 229 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,120 able to make it work. And I think that's the 230 00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:37,320 biggest issue is you have not seen the offense start 231 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,480 fast or the defense hold out. 232 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,399 Speaker 1: Excuse me, against a very good football team. 233 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 2: Now TCU, good football team where it's at and they're 234 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,639 having some struggles at the end. 235 00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:46,039 Speaker 1: Iowa State good football team. 236 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 2: Like that's the only games you could really say that 237 00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:50,720 bou had formidable opponents where they executed. 238 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: The UCF not good coming back. West Virginia not a 239 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,399 good football team. 240 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 2: Right, So the issue is you're starting to slow against 241 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,600 bad football teams sometimes and even the good ones that 242 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,240 you should be putting away. You really didn't a non 243 00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:05,519 conference and you did it against Iowa State against TCU. 244 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,360 But I'm telling you if you go three and out 245 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,159 to start your first two drives on Saturday, it's over. 246 00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: M AFO mess around and find out. 247 00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:17,519 Speaker 3: Except I'm using a different word, yes, because again, if 248 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,960 you mess around with Texas SEC, I know, I know 249 00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:22,000 it's beating a drug. I know we're beating the same drum. 250 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,039 I know we're beating a dead horse, all that stuff. 251 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,639 But I truly believe Texas Tech might be the best 252 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,759 team in the college football playoffs. I think they could 253 00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:32,039 probably be any of those teams up there at the top. 254 00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:35,399 They may go ahead and go to the national championship game. 255 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,960 You come to the King, you best not miss, and 256 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,720 you cannot afford the slow start. Now, what I will 257 00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:45,720 say is I do feel like that last home game 258 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:49,360 of the season sometimes BOU is just a little sluggish. 259 00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,799 Remember last year against Houston, you knew BOYU was gonna 260 00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:55,000 win the whole time, but you felt like they should 261 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,279 have played better against Houston than they did. That kind 262 00:10:57,279 --> 00:10:59,799 of let them hang around for a little bit, even 263 00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:01,679 though you never thought you was going to lose that game. 264 00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,120 So I think that that could be part of it. 265 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,639 And then what happened the first game they played after 266 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,600 that Houston game, which I know was a few weeks 267 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,759 later than this one's going to be. But remember when 268 00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:13,279 everyone talked all that mess about oh, BYU is not 269 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,759 good enough to compete with Colorado, and. 270 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: BYU threw their best punch. 271 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,519 Speaker 3: Now you're not going to get to do against at 272 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,840 Texas Tech what you did to Colorado last year. 273 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: They're also not going to give you propaganda exactly. And 274 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,480 if they talked, they know they're good enough where you 275 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,720 go to GETT Texas Tech. 276 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,799 Speaker 3: They're not that dumb. This is a smart football team. However, 277 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,519 the point remains the safe. You got to bring your 278 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:38,879 best punch to that game. And again, you cannot start 279 00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:42,080 slow on offense and you cannot start slow on defense. 280 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. 281 00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: So it was UCF Iowa State, which was the other 282 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:47,960 game that they were down fourteen to, oh Colorado Colorado. 283 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,879 Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, you're right, yep. And I mean. 284 00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: What's incredible about I guess not really the UCF one 285 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,720 because you were at home, but the other two if 286 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,360 you think about it, like we didn't know how bad 287 00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:03,320 Colorado was at the time, and because they were competitive 288 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,639 and it was really Bears first true road environment in 289 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,480 a p four game early September. 290 00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: Even the East Carolina game. 291 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 3: That game now looks really good as well, because I 292 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,279 believe East Carolina is eight and four right now. 293 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: To be honestly, you could argue maybe played better in 294 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,120 the Carolina game if he did the color game. You 295 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:20,799 can make that argument, but the point being you're not 296 00:12:20,879 --> 00:12:23,960 getting it would be really concerning if their fourteen point 297 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,759 deficits had all come at home. Two of them came 298 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,759 on the road, and they that I don't think it 299 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,480 was fourteen points. But they didn't have to play behind 300 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,360 in that Arizona game as well, that was on the road. 301 00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:37,840 So this is a BYU team that can play from behind. Fortunately, 302 00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:39,759 there's gonna be less Texas Tech fans. 303 00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: It's not gonna be absent of the Red Raiders, because 304 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,559 again it's it's a few hours down the road. But 305 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,679 it is a little bit of a boost to know 306 00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:52,360 that you're capable if you have to play from behind, 307 00:12:52,759 --> 00:12:54,159 but you just you can't do it for too long 308 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,240 because they're the white sex Tech will capitalize. 309 00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: On unum percent. They're definitely gonna capitalize. If you do it, 310 00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,639 you could. They don't have a bend on break. They 311 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:02,799 have a don't break at all, so you're gonna have 312 00:13:02,799 --> 00:13:05,279 to really expose them. We'll see what happens. Number three Bear, 313 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,200 the first quarter was different than the rest of the game. 314 00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:10,120 Did they show you something different that you weren't prepared for? 315 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: No, not really. 316 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 4: I mean we just, uh, you know, we just weren't 317 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,480 playing our best and uh yeah at that point, I 318 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,360 think we had like three plays and pretty long duration 319 00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:23,799 in that first quarter. So it's just kind of. 320 00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:25,879 Speaker 1: Slow for for for us. 321 00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 4: But yeah, we just kind of we had We knew 322 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,480 we had to bounce back, and I thought we responded well. 323 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:32,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, they responded well, and yeah, there was nothing that 324 00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:35,200 they didn't We've heard the Heavan Johnson's sound. Nope, couldn't 325 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,120 tell you. That just happens when you start slow. Sometimes 326 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,519 you pay for it. But you got to bounce back. 327 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,240 Number four Bear ipick was Parker Kingston on Saturday, and 328 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,399 I haven't chasing a lineup, uh, I. 329 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,639 Speaker 4: Mean pivotal role in our offense and then to see 330 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,919 him step up, Yeah, Parker's Parker is a dude. 331 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,519 Speaker 1: Pivotal role in the offense. 332 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,759 Speaker 2: Dare I say new wide receiver number one chases out 333 00:13:58,759 --> 00:13:59,720 come on I'm not gonna do that. 334 00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: I'm dollar back. 335 00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: But Parker eight oh four, hey, brother, one hundred and 336 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:05,360 ninety six more yards and PK's gonna have one thousand 337 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,639 yard season that I want him to have. I'm excited. 338 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,600 I hope it's able to get done. Man, you think 339 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,240 about Parker kingseon me and wire receiver number one next 340 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,159 year being the guy that's a target. Look, you're gonna 341 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:19,159 lose Chase, you got La Mason Waller. Still, you got Tainakua. 342 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,559 I don't have to go get a guy or two. 343 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:22,519 I mean, look, and I think you would agree with this. 344 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,639 I've seen this from Darius Lassiter. I don't know if 345 00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:27,600 we'll see this from Baby Keeling because he's at Miami. 346 00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:30,159 Once is done, Darius put out a tweet. I want 347 00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:33,759 to see Tray Spivey in a BYU uniform. Remember BYU 348 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:35,000 was going after Hi when he was in the portal, 349 00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:37,720 it was Arizona BYU and I can't remember the other 350 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:39,960 two schools. Those are like top four, top five, and 351 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,559 he went to he committed to Arizona. 352 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,559 Speaker 3: To me, the interesting question is where do you think 353 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,399 BRU needs to be more focused than the Bordal this offseason? 354 00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: Receiver or running back. Okay, with else not to discuss. 355 00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:51,799 We know where it's at, but I think it's close. 356 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,279 I know what the right answer is. Gets close. Sure, 357 00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:54,600 you're not. 358 00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,159 Speaker 2: Wrong when you look on paper and when you really 359 00:14:56,159 --> 00:14:58,919 delve into it. Both are definitely critical. 360 00:14:58,559 --> 00:15:00,639 Speaker 3: Because running backs you really only need one or two 361 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,759 wide receivers. 362 00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:03,759 Speaker 2: You need a lot of the plethorrough of wide receivers. 363 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:05,440 And I think you can easily get a plethora, and 364 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:07,840 you can have the pass game work well enough to 365 00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:09,399 be able to do it, but you can't set up 366 00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:11,039 the pass it out the run right like you can 367 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,759 make it. And you can make this offense look really 368 00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,360 good in the past game, especially with Aronahowie schemes things 369 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,399 up even with other guys, but you can't do it 370 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,120 unless you have a good running back. So I think 371 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,240 in this offense running back, they gonna need to go 372 00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:24,679 get two dudes, if not three. 373 00:15:24,759 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: So we'll see. 374 00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:26,919 Speaker 2: Because I keep telling you all, y'all came from me, 375 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,759 and I think you you know this. With the fans, 376 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,919 LJ ain't coming back. He ain't coming back. He ain't 377 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,679 coming back. Unless we didn't think Chase was coming back. 378 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,000 We did for a little while yeah, we didn't. But 379 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,799 I think that was different. I think Chase's stock was 380 00:15:40,799 --> 00:15:42,799 not as high as LJS. I think l is a 381 00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:44,399 better football player and Chase. Yeah, I just said it 382 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,039 one hundred percent. 383 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: I will. I don't have to do the numbers. I 384 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,320 don't know. I guess LJ did have a better ye 385 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,519 this year. Now it depends. 386 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:52,879 Speaker 2: There's obviously these negotiations with Kilani and if we go 387 00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:54,639 to Penn State and all these other things, Like the 388 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,519 question is how much could you pay to come back 389 00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:56,879 next year? 390 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 3: Right, maybe with all these discussions, which is there's a 391 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,759 couple extra bucks you can. 392 00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: Because he's a seven figure running back. 393 00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:08,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kilani has said Klannie was asked in it 394 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,440 was either Monday media availability or post game I can't 395 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,080 remember about LJ coming back, and he said, look, we're 396 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,879 just in the interest of doing what's best for our players, period, 397 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,200 and so if LJ wants to come back, then LJ 398 00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:19,799 can come back. 399 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,759 Speaker 1: But like we're not gonna tell him to not go 400 00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:23,399 to the NFL to come back. 401 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,799 Speaker 3: Now, maybe if BYU gets left out of the playoff, 402 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,320 maybe there's a part of LJ that says, you know what, 403 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,639 I got to unfinished business with the CFP. I'm coming 404 00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:34,480 back because we're gonna make a run at it. And 405 00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,559 who knows Bear in his second year. I don't know 406 00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:39,440 if he can get better because he's already been so 407 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,000 great this season. But all of those things play into 408 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,360 that decision, all of it does, So we will see 409 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:48,759 what happens in regards to everything in the offseason. 410 00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:51,399 Speaker 1: Bear LJ. Look, Bear's gonna be poached. 411 00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:53,399 Speaker 2: You gotta think if Colannie goes to Penn State, what 412 00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:56,279 happens to the entire defensive offenses. As a nature of 413 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,879 college athletics, coaches take players with him, they take coaching staff. 414 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,639 So your best case scenario is keep planning here and 415 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,240 keep building. I think that's what ultimately will be the outcome. 416 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,119 But we'll see. We'll find out more as the we 417 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:09,079 goes on. But you need to get this deal done 418 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,079 sooner rather than later. Let's keep going. Number five, what 419 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,200 is Chaseman to you? In your shirt time here? 420 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 4: Bear, He's meant a lot and he's given me so 421 00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:21,240 much confidence and trust in our relationship. Is just great 422 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,759 And yeah, I can't wait to have him back. 423 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, ask that question because Chase was a senior. This 424 00:17:25,279 --> 00:17:28,119 is senior day. What has he done? Look, I make 425 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,160 the jokes about Parker Kingston wide receiver number one. If 426 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,799 Chase had been playing in this game healthy, he's still leading. 427 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,920 They're probably close, maybe all by eighty yards. But think 428 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,880 about that, if Chase would have played, he's above, He's 429 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,160 probably close to nine hundred yards and that in two 430 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,240 more games. Because you're gonna play in this You're gonna 431 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,640 play in a bowl game that BYU receivers, you could 432 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,440 have two thousand yard receivers. 433 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,759 Speaker 1: That could be crazy. 434 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 2: Now if they go to the college football playoffs and 435 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,880 with Chase, he's gonna have an opportunity to make that. 436 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,839 You know, we have a couple more games to get that. 437 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,000 But pks an one hundred and ninety six away. Yeah, 438 00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:01,000 he can get that in the next game by himself. Definitely. 439 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: I think you can get it in the next two 440 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,720 if you split it up. 441 00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:06,759 Speaker 2: So look, it's been a minute, and who would have 442 00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:09,279 thought that the kid from Roy who they call it 443 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,160 just a gadget guy, just. 444 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: A speed guy by the way, who's. 445 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 2: Run for a touchdown, throwing for a touchdown, and caught 446 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,720 a touchdown and return retard as well. Like he's got 447 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:20,559 all that in the bag. But just a gadget guy. 448 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,920 Stop it. He's the Tyreek Hill of college football? 449 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,319 Speaker 1: Is he? 450 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,759 Speaker 3: I don't know if people like me saying this, but 451 00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,519 is he the Written Covey of B White? 452 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: And I know people don't like that guy, but you 453 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,400 should have been a BYU should have been. 454 00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:38,599 Speaker 3: But I do feel like they're very similar in the 455 00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:41,079 fact that both of them played quarterback in high school. Facts, 456 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,880 and both of them were kind of doing everything kind 457 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,200 of guys in college and uh throw for a touchdown 458 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:49,480 that I don't know, I. 459 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,079 Speaker 2: Have to look it up close to it, but that's 460 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,119 probably the best of your version. I like the comparison. 461 00:18:53,279 --> 00:18:56,240 I think, yeah, But I also think, you know, Parker, 462 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,960 go back to it Tyreek Hill college football. That's too 463 00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:02,519 much of a hot take. But no, look like I mean, 464 00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:04,640 I just think I bring that up of the narrative. 465 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,680 They call it Tyree Hill just a return guy, just 466 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,400 the gadge guy. And up until that injury, bro what 467 00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,319 top you would say, top seven receiver, top ten receiver. 468 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,960 So Covey through for two yep. So yeah, so he's 469 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,799 the Breton Covey there, it is. Both takes are right. 470 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,279 He's the Britain covey of e YU and he's Tyreek 471 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:21,000 Hill of college football. Uh not maybe the Tyrek Hill 472 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,920 of college football, but the Tyreek kill on this BYU 473 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,640 football team. 474 00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: Oh dall it back. 475 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,839 Speaker 2: I won't be I won't be too extra, but look, 476 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,640 I Parker is phenomenal and like Bear just said two 477 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,359 questions ago, pivotal role in our offense. Let's keep going 478 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,599 because we do got to get the Breaku. We pontificated enough. 479 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,480 Number six, Bear, knowing you were in the championship game before, 480 00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:42,920 did they have any excuse me, knowing that you were 481 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,960 in the championship game before the game started, did they 482 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,960 have any effect on the start of the game in 483 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,559 the slow start? 484 00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:51,079 Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. I think we're all pretty 485 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,079 mature and growing up, so you know, it didn't affect 486 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,000 affect us. 487 00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 2: Look they're not They're gonna say it was just slow start, 488 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,799 didn't execute. But come, placency can have you start slow. 489 00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,359 And I think this team thought that then being clinched, 490 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,279 UCF would have rolled over a little bit and then 491 00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:08,039 they had the dollut and they had to bring the intensity. 492 00:20:08,039 --> 00:20:10,160 And sometimes in every game you don't bring every intensity. 493 00:20:10,279 --> 00:20:12,039 I don't know if from playing rugby, Oh, we're gonna 494 00:20:12,039 --> 00:20:13,720 go out there, they're good. Like no, Sometimes people are 495 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,559 way more physical from the point of attack and you 496 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,359 have to execute. 497 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: They didn't do that. 498 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 3: You also have to look at it from UCF's perspective, 499 00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:23,240 where first of all, they want to ruin your season period. 500 00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: Like you just you're in. 501 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 3: That position where you know you don't have a ton 502 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,799 to play for, so you want to ruin the season 503 00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:31,160 of the team that you're playing on their day at 504 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,880 their house, all those things. 505 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: On top of that, UCF was playing to go bowling. 506 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 3: They were playing for win number six so they could 507 00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:40,720 get a bowl game, which they did not get because 508 00:20:40,759 --> 00:20:41,400 of that game. 509 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: And I again, I don't know if it's complacency. 510 00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if that last game of the season 511 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,920 is just always weird to BYU. I don't know what 512 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,680 it is, but it definitely didn't look good. Definitely didn't 513 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,000 look good. Gotta play better. 514 00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:54,279 Speaker 2: Like you said, number seven, Bear, what was it like 515 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,000 to watch those seniors do the senior walk and you've 516 00:20:58,039 --> 00:21:00,000 relied on in a lot this season, I believe. 517 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, just. 518 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 4: See you see you kind of going to a realization, 519 00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:07,160 like you know, this is their last year, and and 520 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,480 but I yeah, it was sad, but you know, also 521 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,160 also joyful just to see them smiling and to get 522 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,319 the win on the on with the game today. But 523 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,799 we gotta make this season last even longer for him. 524 00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:23,079 Speaker 2: Gotta make this season last even longer. Seeing him walk, 525 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,079 I'm gonna tease something. He's gonna talk about one guy 526 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,440 that walked. He's not a senior. I'm not gonna say 527 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,240 Bear slipped up, but Bear definitely hinted at something we'll 528 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,799 read between the lines. And a couple of questions Number eight, Bear, 529 00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:36,640 does this team deserve to be in the College Football 530 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,559 Playoffs in European? 531 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,799 Speaker 1: And if so, why, Yeah, I think we deserve to 532 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:42,440 be in the CFP. 533 00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 4: I just think we got a great team. 534 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,839 Speaker 2: Look, and I edit didn't cut those two questions because 535 00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:49,839 it's very short. He thinks they have a good team 536 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,519 and they should be And look, I think it's gonna 537 00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:53,480 be crazy. We've sent us on Twitter. They're gonna be 538 00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:56,279 the only power for a team with one loss left 539 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,680 out of the College Football Playoffs. That might be the greatest, 540 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,039 one of the greatest seasons in school history. And you're 541 00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:04,759 not going to the CP that's wild bright in the 542 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,880 regular season, not conference championship. 543 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. 544 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: You know their losses to where it's either a team 545 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:10,759 who was top ten at the time or is a 546 00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:13,079 top ten team. Now, yeah, it looks like they're getting 547 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,000 in and they're not even playing for a confge championship. 548 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:16,799 Speaker 1: But guess what. Guess what Miami. 549 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 3: First of all, they got more losses than by U 550 00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:21,880 and uh, either of those losses come against top ten teams. 551 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,839 I don't believe five. So so yeah, make that one 552 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,759 makes sense. Committee can shove it. I'm gonna say it. Yeah, 553 00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:29,720 I said it. It's okay. 554 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,799 Speaker 1: I'll get reprimended, lated from being in the bosses. I 555 00:22:31,799 --> 00:22:32,119 don't care. 556 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: But the committee can take it in chovity to power 557 00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:35,400 up manure. That's what it is. 558 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: I test Olympic Committee. Oh goodness, that's exactly what they are. 559 00:22:38,519 --> 00:22:39,799 We need to start that nar let's get that on 560 00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:41,640 a T show. I know that can be a royal 561 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,559 army rants. I test olymp That's what it is. 562 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,799 Speaker 2: Number nine. When you see the talent on this team, 563 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:50,599 did you imagine that you could be eleven and one bear? 564 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 4: Of course? Yeah, I mean we've we've got a great team. 565 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,759 We've got a great culture and and everybody's bought in 566 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:00,920 and uh yeah, I mean we we just got guys 567 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,400 that can go and and uh I'm so proud to 568 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,640 be at by U and and it's just it's been great. 569 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: Look you heard me laughing. We got to turn my 570 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,640 mic off. That's my fault, that's bat producing. But look 571 00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:14,279 I was laughing because duh, Like they're on the team. 572 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: Yes, they think they don't want to the problem Like, 573 00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:18,960 it's a valid question for you to ask me. It's 574 00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:21,519 not a valid question to ask the quarterback, because what's 575 00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:23,240 it gonna say? Honestly, you know, man, I thought we 576 00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:25,160 were only gonna win six games this season, like the 577 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,279 Chris Paul is like, de Chris, do you think we'll 578 00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:28,400 be back here for a game seven? 579 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: No? No, I think we're gonna lose. 580 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 2: That's why everybody laughing at what. I'm on the team, 581 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,359 bro say no, we're gonna lose. 582 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: Even if I did think we were gonna lose, I 583 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:42,359 would never say it when these questions get asked, like 584 00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:44,039 I just think of the Chris Paul. No, what you 585 00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:44,400 want to say? 586 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,079 Speaker 2: I'm on the team, man, Yes, of course, yes, we're 587 00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:47,599 going back That's why I might laugh at here. 588 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:51,599 Speaker 3: Like you can't ask that question, Like, no, I do 589 00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:56,279 think not to kind of take down this completely. I 590 00:23:56,319 --> 00:24:00,640 do think there's a valid principle in this question, because 591 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,079 let's be honest, like, let's just be grateful for where 592 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,119 BYU is today. I know we're gonna have to talk 593 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,720 a lot about the CFP rankings, whether not BOYA should 594 00:24:09,759 --> 00:24:12,079 get in, how they're gonna do against Sex Sec. All 595 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,480 of that stuff, But let's be real about the fact 596 00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:17,359 that you went eleven and one this season. You won 597 00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:21,119 more games this year than you did last year. 598 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: With Jake Retzov. And that's not a shot at Jake. 599 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: That's just saying like, this team continues to improve, the 600 00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,480 culture continues to infect all of these young men and 601 00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:33,000 make them play at such a high level. Again, this 602 00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:36,200 is the team three fourteen point comebacks this season, again, 603 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,920 a true freshman. Again, you didn't know what you had 604 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,279 going into the season until you snapped the ball against 605 00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:46,880 Portland State. It is so incredible to see that Byu 606 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,720 is sitting at eleven and one this year. Given the 607 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:53,279 fact that the Vegas guys thought Byu was gonna win 608 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,519 no more than six games, there were conversations about whether 609 00:24:56,559 --> 00:24:58,559 this team was gonna go bowling, and I know there's 610 00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:00,039 a lot of blue guy with people who said I 611 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,279 knew this the whole time, and I'm like, look, I'm 612 00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:05,200 grateful that you believe that, but you didn't know that. 613 00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:08,359 And now we can sit here and say we knew it, 614 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,920 and this team proved a lot of people wrong, be included, 615 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000 and I'm so happy to be wrong. I'm so happy 616 00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:17,720 to this VYU team. I mean, run this year. Remember 617 00:25:17,839 --> 00:25:20,400 year one in the Big Twelve. Remember how bad that 618 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,400 was watching just get the boat raced by some of 619 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,039 these teams. You're sitting there going, man, how long is 620 00:25:28,039 --> 00:25:30,119 it gonna take BAU to really compete in this conference? 621 00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:33,000 Well apparently not that long because the year after that 622 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,559 they were on a tie Reker to get into the 623 00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:37,279 Big Twelve Championship, And this year they're playing in the 624 00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:40,160 Big Twelve Championship against the team who is likely. 625 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,559 Speaker 1: To go to a national championship. Yep. 626 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: So all of those things they just make you sit 627 00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:49,799 back and say, look, there's a lot of things left 628 00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:52,440 on this season, and we won't overlook any of those, 629 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,720 but let's also be grateful for what we have right 630 00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:57,839 here with this team and what that says about the 631 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:58,640 future of this team. 632 00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: PA is money. 633 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 2: This all I gotta say, He's earned it in the 634 00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:04,160 entire staff.

He looked up and he 691 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,559 acknowledged it, meaning that he saw. 692 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 3: It, which is wild because you you always wonder if 693 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,880 the players actually look up at the jumblesone definitely and 694 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,799 all of the in arena stuff that's going on, and 695 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,559 especially in that situation, for him to put the wy 696 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,720 up like that, I was like, Oh, he's really looking 697 00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:36,640 at this and I hadn't seen a player do that before. 698 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,279 Speaker 1: It was really cool.
